Goals from Wolves captain Paul Ince and Ipswich substitute Richard Naylor ensured the spoils were shared at Molineux.
Ince had blasted the hosts into an early second-half lead but Naylor's late headed equaliser, which bulged the back of the net just two minutes after his introduction, ensured Ipswich's play-off hopes remained alive.
Wolves boss Dave Jones drafted in Nathan Blake as replacement for striker George Ndah, who tore a hamstring in the 4-0 demolition of Crystal Palace at the weekend.
But Ince and full-back Lee Naylor managed to shake off knee problems while Shaun Newton and Colin Cameron featured for the hosts in midfield despite carrying foot injuries.
Ipswich were able to count on the services of Darren Ambrose despite the youngster suffering a knee injury in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Norwich.
Newton, with a weak header from Kennedy's cross, and then Blake, who blazed wide, ought both to have done better from promising situations.
Kennedy was also left hanging his head after firing a glorious opportunity over the crossbar when clean through.
But the strike from Ince, coming just three minutes after the restart, revitalised a game going nowhere with Ipswich now forced to abandon their earlier reticence.
Matt Holland forced Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray into his first save of the game just short of the hour.
And the Molineux stopper was at full stretch again five minutes later as he plucked a Fabian Wilnis cross off the head of an incoming Ambrose.
The Wolves rearguard finally buckled with six minutes of the game remaining, Martijn Reuser floating over a free-kick from the right channel for Naylor to head home unopposed.
Wolverhampton: Murray, Irwin, Lescott, Naylor, Butler, Newton, Ince, Cameron, Kennedy, Blake, Miller. Subs: Oakes, Clyde,
Sturridge, Rae, Proudlock.
Ipswich: Marshall, Holland, Makin, Gaardsoe, Miller, Wright, Magilton, Wilnis, Richards, Darren Bent, Ambrose. Subs: Pullen,
Bowditch, Reuser, Naylor, Abidallah.
Referee: M Jones (Cheshire)

We've recently been having some interesting conversations, both internally and with customers, about the challenges inherent in client-server software interaction, aka Web Services or Web APIs. The relatively baked state of web browsers and servers has shielded us from most of the issues that come with getting computers to talk to other computers.
It didn't happen over-night, but today's web browsing world rides on top of a well vetted pipeline of technology to give us good browsing (client-side) experiences. However, there are a lot of assumptions and moving parts behind our browser windows that get uncovered when working with web services (servers). There are skeletons in the closet unfortunately.
End-users' web browsing demands eventually forced ports 80 and 443 (SSL) open across all firewalls and ISPs and we now take their availability for granted. When was the last time you heard someone ask "is port 80 open?" It's probably been awhile. By 2000, server-side HTTP implementations (web servers) started solidifying and at the HTTP-level client and server tier there was relatively little incompatibility. Expectations around socket timeouts and HTTP protocol exchanges were clear, and both sides of the connection adhered to those expectations.
Enter the world of web-services/APIs.
We've been enjoying the stable client-server interaction that web browsing has provided over the past 15 years, but web services/APIs thrust the ugly realities that lurk beneath into view. When we access modern web services through lower-level software (e.g. something other than the browser), we have to make assumptions and implementation/configuration choices that the browser otherwise makes for us. Among them…
- port to use for the socket connection
- the browser assumes you always want '80' (HTTP) or '443' (HTTPS)
- the browser provides built-in encryption handling of HTTPS/SSL
- URL parsing
- the browser uses static rules for interpreting and parsing URLs
- HTTP request methods
- browsers inherently know when to use GET vs. POST
- HTTP POST bodies.
- browsers pre-define how POST bodies are structured, and never deviate from this methodology
- HTTP header negotiation (this is the big one).
- browsers handle all of the following scenarios out-of-the-box
- Request
- compression support (e.g. gzip)
- connection duration types (e.g. keep-alive)
- authentication (basic/oauth/other)
- user-agent specification
- Response
- chunked responses
- content-types. the browser has a pre-defined set of content types that it knows how to handle internally.
- content-encoding. the browser knows how to handle various encoding types (e.g. gzip compression), and does so by default
- authentication (basic/oauth/other)
- HTTP Response body formats/character sets/encodings
- browsers juggle the combination between content-encoding, content-type, and charset handling to ensure their international audience can see the information as its author intended.
Web browsers have the luxury of being able to lock down all of the above variables and not worry about changes in these assumptions. Having built browsers (Netscape/Firefox) in the past for a living, it's still a very difficult task but at least the problem is constrained (e.g. ensure the end user can view the content within the browser). Web service consumers have to understand, and make decisions around, each of those points. Getting just one of them wrong can lead to issues in your application. These issues can range from being connectivity- or content handling-related to service authentication and can lead to long guessing games off "what went wrong?"
To further complicate the API interaction pipeline, many IT departments prevent abnormal connection activity from occurring. This means that while your application may be "doing the right thing" (TM), a system that sits between your application and the API with which it is trying to interact may prevent the exchange from occurring as you intended.
What To Do?
First off, you need to be versed not only in the documentation of the API you're trying to use. Documentation is often outdated and doesn't reflect actual implementations or account for bugs and behavioral nuances inherent in any API, so you also need to engage with its developer community/forums. From there, you need to ensure your HTTP client accounts for the assumptions I outline above and adheres to the API you're interacting with. If you're experiencing issues you'll need to ensure your code is establishing the connection successfully, receiving the data it's expecting, and parsing the data correctly. Never underestimate using a packet sniffer to view the raw HTTP exchange between your client and the server; debugging HTTP libraries at the code-level (even with logging) often don't yield the truth behind what's being sent to the server and received.
The Power of cURL
This is an entire blog post in and of itself, but the swiss army knife of any web service developer is cURL. In the right hands, cURL allows you to easily construct HTTP requests to test interaction with a web service. Don't underestimate the translation of your cURL test to your software however.

Paramount has shared with Deadline this new Hugo video featuring commentary from the creative team and cast members with clips from the movie.
Video: 'Hugo' Featurette With Crew And Cast
12 Comments
It's great to see this video with a few glimpses of behind-the-scenes of "Hugo". The Aero Theatre in Santa Monica just showed a program of Melies short films recently and the theatre was sold out. The host asked the audience how many had seen "Hugo" and about 75% raised their hands. So it's wonderful that Martin Scorsese's film has created an awareness of the history of early film with today's audiences. The same can be said for "The Artist". How wonderful that we have these two great films in the same year.
Jack, I haven't seen THE ARTIST. Does it fill you with as much love for film (and perhaps curiosity about old, unfamiliar film) as does HUGO?
Well, it would crate that awareness of film history if anyone had bothered to see it.
And if the studio had been honest about what sort of movie it was, instead of trying to disguise it as a children's film, more people might have watched it.
Scorsese, Schoonmaker, Richardson, Ferretti, Legato, Powell, Shore, Logan, Kingsley…pretty talented little group of people there I'd say.
Rish – "The Artist" is highly recommended as well. For those interested, on Feb. 25 the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica will also be screening the restored version of Melies "A Trip To The Moon" in tinted color like the original. Don't miss it.
See: http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/content/%E2%80%9Ca-trip-to-the-moon%E2%80%9D-the-extraordinary-voyage
I've seen both films and find it interesting that the two are being compared so often. They are vastly different. The biggest "homage" I could say that "The Artist" pays to film's of the past is that it was shot in black and white and was silent. But in terms of actually capturing the spirit, feeling and emotion of earlier silent cinema like 7th Heaven, Sunrise, and others, I'm not sure it does the job, which is not a dig at the movie actually as I enjoyed it very much. But after seeing it, I felt it very modern in its approach. Will it ignite an interest in exploring the wide breadth of absolutely enchanting silent movies in our film history? Not sure… did enough people even see it to be inspired by it? Probably not, which is a shame as its very entertaining and cute. By contrast, Hugo did reference many older films, even in the most subtle ways – Metropolis, clearly all of the Melies films which were re-created, LUmiere Brothers and City Girl….. there's so much there from the smallest and most subtle reference to the more obvious ones like a train arrives at the station. and because the lives of the main characters are actually "saved" or completely transformed by cinema, there is a more prominent throughline to what the movies of our past mean to us as a society. No surprise really since Scorsese isn't just a great filmmaker, he could properly be called a film historian who has dedicated his life to preserving the films of our past. While each film has their charms, if you're interested in film history and getting inspired to go see some great old movies, I highly recommend Hugo.
Wow. I HATED Hugo. I found it so boring and poorly constructed from a story standpoint. If Scorsese wanted to make a film about Melies, he should have. The children in this film (the boy is unappealing, the girl overplaying) aren't compelling and their story (I don't even know what their story is) is forced and uninteresting at the same time. Honestly, to spend this much money and succeed only in patting yourself on the back so strenuously while achieving nothing in terms of emotional heft or satisfying narrative is pretty appalling (especially in light of what The Artist accomplished with so much less). There is no connection between the little boy's story, the wind-up man, the denizens of the train station and the career of Melies. It does not hold together and relentlessly tries the patience of its audience members of ANY age and ends up muddying and falsifying the story of the genius filmmaker it pretends to celebrate. I completely mystified by the love for this bloated and contrived botch of a film. And I don't see what ANY of the 3-D fuss was about.
You are so right – I totally agree. The film should more aptly be entitled "EGO".
It bears no resemblance to the clever resourcefulness of Melies – every sequence is full of excess and reeks of being over-produced. And none of the effort leads you through a story with genuine heart or drama.
It was a film that spent more than twice its budget as Marty and his 'creative team' never viewed limitation as an opportunity for inspiration and invention – to them, more was better. This was not the aesthetic of Melies, or to many others who have achieved greatness in cinema history. Indeed, Marty's best films were the ones that thrived in the world of location shooting on the streets of New York with small budgets. He's lost the magic.
Forgive me for thinking that films that are nominated for 11 Oscars, should be films that will remembered in ten to twenty years time, and not forgotten as soon as the curtains close on this years Oscars, which in my eyes, Hugo will be.
In comparison: No Country For Old Men, one of the greatest films made in modern times, was nominated for 8 Oscars, yet Hugo grabs 11.
Go figure.
What gets recognized by 'the academy' has only a passing relationship to what is remembered for 50 years. The history of the Academy is rich with films that are considered classics being ignored or beaten by dreck. Hugo is more about navel gazing than being a film that even 5 out of 20 people would like to see. It's a classic set-up though, make a film that speaks to the academy members about how meaningful a life working in film is and they often respond.
I can understand some saying there is a lack of drama or serious conflict in Hugo. He is on his own journey that morphs into Georges Melies's story. However, it is an incredibly charming film that does create a sense of nostalgia for cinema's infancy. Movies like this, The Artist, and even Midnight in Paris celebrate their heritage.
I don't see why anyone would complain about the Academy recognizing "historically significant" films. I'm not sure there were any this year and most years you have movies like The Social Network or Goodfellas or Saving Private Ryan being overlooked for the King Speeches, Dances With Wolves and Shakespeare in Loves of the world.

Coarse Sediment Hazard Modeling in the Fort St. James and Kootenay Lake Regions
Deposition of coarse sediment into stream channels, and onto fluvial fans and deltas is a natural part of sediment transport processes. Bedload material is essential to creating aquatic habitat diversity and stabilising stream channels. However catastrophic events, usually landslides, that deposit coarse sediment into stream channels often result in at least temporary destabilisation of the channel itself, and can sometimes result in long-term changes to a channel. Increases in coarse sediment inputs may result in:
By comparing various scenarios, we estimate the potential for changes in coarse sediment inputs between particular management scenarios and background levels, and between various management options themselves. Our results identified relative impacts to watersheds across the study area for each of the management scenarios ranging from full harvest of mountain pine beetle killed timber to an idealized state of a landscape that is fully forested and mature.

Justin Theroux Learning to Love Los Angeles for Jennifer Aniston
It's not a place for everyone, and that rule definitely applied to Justin Theroux and his distaste for Los Angeles, CA.
When "The Leftovers" star popped the question to Jennifer Aniston in August 2012, he was forced to split time between their mansion in Bel Air and his home of New York City. And though he wasn't always fond of the Californian city, Justin thinks their bicoastal life is "kind of perfect."
"That's always been a goal, to be bicoastal in a real way. I like all the clichés. I mean, I love someone who lives in Los Angeles - so that's a big draw," Justin told Interview magazine.
"In New York I used to just be more active. I'd always ride my bike everywhere or skateboard everywhere, walk, whatever. Then I started going to the gym," he continued.
Meanwhile, the HBO actor opened up about what makes him truly happy and he said, "My dogs... And my lady, of course."
As for his early acting days, Justin said, "I was always acting. I was doing after-school plays and stuff like that. But I wasn't doing well in any of the schools, so by ninth or tenth grade, I ended up going to a boarding school. D.C. is a hard city to grow up in. I couldn't find my footing there. Also, I got a late start academically, and I was dyslexic."

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Hellboy
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Hellboy
Waylander37 10:13, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
- OK then, gimme a day. --EpicAwesomeness (talk) 13:45, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
|Well, I won't lie. The humour in this article is weak to say the least. I silently chuckled once or twice but that really was it. Let's go at the whole thing, not just humor, bit by bit:
Quote: Well, the quote wasn't bad. It was an interesting start to the article and it made me smile. You can keep it if you want to.
Opening: It's one-and-a-half lines long and it's not really funny at all. So first it points out how the franchise has sprawled out into all manner of media. That's a good, potentially funny, idea but you need to rework it so that it stays encyclopedic and doesn't get too casual-conversationish of informal. In the same sentence we have a bit about who Hellboy is, unfortunately he is described as A big red guy named Hellboy who looks like satan. OK, this is supposed to be the quickie description which saves up for the characters bit, but you again need to get encyclopedia-like. A big red guy? How about a large red mutant? Yes he looks like Satan, but you shouldn't announce that in such a crude manner. Try to rework that bit as something more subtle. After that is The stories consist of half baked ideas about monsters and stuff. The first half of that, or more specifically the phrase 'half baked ideas' is good and you can keep that for sure, but it's dogged down by 'about monsters and stuff'. 'Monsters' is OK but 'stuff'? Stuff?! Try and substitute that for, umm, maybe of the 'monsters', or even something like: ...about monsters like (idea) and (idea). I'm not ordering you to do this, and then again you can improve it in some completely different way, bit I'm just making suggestions. Oh yes, The most memorable feature of the franchise is the undead Nazi guy in the first film. Lose that. Or sneak it in somewhere else in a much more subtle manner. And finally, add in more information here. When was the film made? Who was in it? etc/
Characters: The characters bit is about the characters. It can be short or detailed; either way can be fine if done right. It seems that you have taken the short approach. Hellboy's bit is basically one line of glaringly obvious facts (this could be OK if some subtle - I like using that word - self-reference is thrown in) followed by a comparison to Bruce Willis and a final, slightly more encyclopedic bit about him being John Hurt's son. This section needs more John Hurt and less Bruce Willis, ie more encyclopedic facts and less OOC parts. If you really want to leave Bruce Willis in, do something like this: Fans and critics have compared Hellboy to Bruce Willis. Then we have a description of the professor. That whole sentence is lingering on the ugly rape joke in the middle, which is instantly unfunny just because of the fact that it's a glaring rape joke. Throw that out and put in some formal facts, eg about the character's past or the actor that played him. This Abe guy is a fisherman, OK, but then we have another sex joke (...in the hope that one day a woman will ask him to tell her future and he will loose his virginity.). Random sex jokes and rape jokes are mostly stupid and unfunny, or at least treat the line more sensibly. Lose the Nazi guy bit (or make it sensible) and maybe add some other characters in.
Film: The first sentence of this, like the Hellboy character bio, is made up of obvious facts. Again, subtle self reference can make it work if you haven't used it previously in the article. Next you have It was directed by Guillemaro Del Toro who later went on to direct Gran's Labyrinth (2006) and The Midget (2012). All articles need one or two serious lines to smooth out the satire, and there is nothing much wrong with this line apart from the fact that it belongs in the opening paragraph. Here you need to put actual info on the film - a plot synopsis, development, reception and possibly divide these under subheadings if they look right for that.
Other movies in the franchise: Hmm. Hellboy 2: The big golden guys was about the big red guy and the big blue guy killing a lot of big golden guys and a pointy eared bastard. Del Toro continued the role of director but now he was on steroids and started creating loads of monsters. The film is much less dark than the first film and is not as good because John Hurt is dead (Spoiler alert) and the cool Nazi guy is not in it. What kind of fucking arsehole would not put a nazi in a film?! The Nazi bit really isn't funny anymore. This still isn't encyclopedic and because of that, it's more pathetic-ish than funny. Subtlety is the key to pulling off stuff like but now he was on steroids, so cover that up a bit. And the thing is that this seems very unprofessional, especially for Uncyclopedia. It's one of those things where you need to look at articles that pull off the film thing well (The Last Man on Earth is a good example) and try to learn from them.
Other media: This section has three lines, one about the Hellboy comic and how no one even reads comics, one is about action figures and how kids don't play with the stuff they buy, and the third line is about an animated series but then "MR Nazi" comes in. At this stage, you might want to actually check out Wikipedia's film artcles. See how they do it and try to incorporate that into your article.
|Ehh, the whole film thing has been done many times but if done well it can become a feature. This doesn't really echo those articles, it's just kind of a shell of them. However this is the concept and I will now move on.
|Prose and formatting:
|Prose? Prose is the voice of the article, the writing style. For these articles, encyclopedic style is usually reccomended, however this is more of a drunk, informal, type-it-up-in-five-minutes, opinion based artcle which makes glaring and unsuccessful attempts at humour. The formatting also needs improvement. Out of your nineteen links here, six of them are red, one because you misspelled Guillermo del Toro. This whole thing looks very short. I also found one or two spelling errors.
|The first image is of one of the Hellboy 2 characters with Spock pasted over his head. Whilst I applaud your idea, I boo the fact that it is really just an image of Spock pasted over his head. Try removing the background, or go to the image request and ask for it. The other image is of that Karl guy. Whilst the image itself is OK, the caption and why it is used are not. Try to but something sensible but funny in the caption, It just might make the image welcome.
|Averaged your other scores. Sorry I couldn't do a better review.
|Final Score:
|Being brutally honest, this article needs work, but it has a few good ideas in it. Don't be afraid to look around and see how others do it, but don't steal, and remember, always follow your dreams! OK, screw that last bit. I looked at your other articles, they're much better than this one. Try to channel that skill into here and you'll have an adequete article. Oh, and don't forget, subtlety!

|Draft Animal Cloning Risk Assessment

|Issue Areas/Comments
| I believe that if cloned animals are going to be introduced into the food chain that it should be clearly labeled on the packaging that the product contains/derived from a cloned animal. Aside from safety and health concerns that many may still have even after many sound scientific studies the issue of cloning in general is very charged. I believe that including cloned animals in the food chain creates a situation that involves more than food safety and as such the consumer should know whether the product contains cloned animals. Currently distributors who do not include genetically engineered ingredients advertise this in effort to lure consumers to choose their product. As a result a premium is paid for the product. I do not believe this should be the situation in labeling of cloned animal products. The labeling should be a requirement of the distributor of the cloned animal product and it should be their responsibility in conjunction with the FDA to promote and educate the public on the safety and possible future benefits of introducing clone animals into the food cycle. In summary I believe the consumer has the right to know what ingredients are in their product and in this case whether a clone animal was used in making the product. I understand the benefits that may develop by having cloned animals in the food chain and believe the matter must be scientifically investigated and studied. The FDA should make its decision on sound safety and health concerns but on moral and ethical views of the consumer, the FDA should at least require proper labeling of the product in effect allowing the consumer to make their own choice. I appreciate your time in this manner.
Thank you,
Panagiotis Maniatis

issues raised by WWII
concerened the survival of the combatants with mass destruction in the nations involved in WWII with everywhere except the US seeing fighting within their borders. second issue involved shape of the new world and what new political alliances would be formed.
Cold war
struggle between communism and capitalism. no actual combat. the major powers, the US and the soviet union, didnt enter into combat in the cold war, but the US did fight hot wars in Korea and Vietnam during this time.
begining of the cold war: poland
the soviet union refused to acknowladge the conservative government of Poland in exile in england. A communist government took over poland
Truman Doctrine
stated after the communist insurgents in 1947 threatened to take over both greece and turkey, but england could no longer prop up these nations. Truman asked for $400 million to aid the countries, asserting that it much be the policy of the United STates to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or outside rpessures. became the cornerstone of containment.
articulated by George KEnnan, came from the Long Telegram, which Kennan sent to washington from his duty station ing ermany. said the US would not instigate war with the Soviet union, but it would come to the defense of countries in danger of soviet takeover. policy aimed to prevent the spread of communism and encourage the soviets to abandon their aggressive tactics.
Marshall PLan
US plan to send more than $12 billion to Europe to help rebuild its cities and economy. in return for the money, countries were expected to become American allies. was offered to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, no countries in the Soviet Sphere participated in the program, as stalin viewed it as futher evidence of US imperialism.
North Atlantic Treaty ORganisation (NATO)
created during Trumans presidency. created between the US and Western europe. was a nutual defense alliance in 1949. Truman did not have an easy time convincing congress that it was necessary.
Berlin Crisis 1948
helped convince congress that NATO was necessary. when germany was divided in 1945 into 4 secors between England, US, France, and the Soviet Union. after learning that the 3 western blocs were going to merge their sectors into one country, the soviets responded by imposing a blockade on berlin.
Berlin airlift/blockade
Truman refused to surrender Berlin and ordered airlifts to keep that portion under Western control supplied with food and fuel. blockade lasted for almost a year. soviets gave it up
National Security Council and the Central Intelligence Agency
formed after the soviet detonatd their first atomic bomb right after nato was formed in 1949. fear of soviet invasion or subterfuge led to the creation of the NSC (foreign affairs advisers who work for the president) and the CIA.
Reconstruction of Japan
issue under truman. after WWII US occupoed japan and its colonial posessions were divided up. the US took control of the pacific Islands and the southern half of Korea, whole the USSR took control of north korea. under general MacArthur, Japan wrote a democratic constitution, demilitarized, and started a remarkable economic revival.
Chinese Revolution
issue under Truman. the US sided with Chiang Kai-shek's nationalis government against Mao Zedongs communist insurgents, during Chinas 20 year civil war. dispite massive american aid,t he compmunists overthrew the nationalists whose government was exiled to Taiwan. The US refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of Maos regime for decades, creating another international hot spot.
loyalty check
Truman ordered investigations of 3 million federal employees in search of security risks in 1947. caused by anti communist paranoia. those found to have a potential achilles heel were dismissed without a hearing.
Alger Hiss
1949 former state department official alger hiss was found guilty of consorting with a communist spy (Nixon was the congressman mostly responsible for Hiss's downfall).
Joseph McCarthy
in 1950 mcCarthy claimed to have a list of more than 200 known communists working for the state department. changed the number several times. went on a campaign of innuendo that ruined the lives of thousands of innocent people. held years of hearings with regard to subvesrion.
industries created lists of those tainted by communists and subversion charges, which prevented the accused from working, just as blacklists had been used against union organizers
Army McCarthy Hearings
Mccarthy charged the army of harboring communists. the army fought back hard. The hearings made Macarthy look foolish and the public turned their backs on him, ending McCarthyism
new conservatism
already had begun to take over the US under truman. when unemployment began to rise as well as inflation, Truman offered some new deal style solutions to americas economic woes but new conservatism had already taken over and many of his proposals were rejected.
new conservatism brought around antiunionism, particularly when workers in essential industries went on strike, like the United Mine Workesr cut off the energy supply to other industries.
seizure of mines
Truman followed the national mood, ordering a government seizure of mines when a settlement could not be reached.
Eightieth congress
Truman alienated labor, after threatening to draft those involved in a railroad strike. they were one of the core constituencies of the new democratic coalition. labor and consumers, angry at inflation, formed an alliance that helped the republicans take control of teh eightieth congress in 1946
Presidents committee on Civil rights
truman alienated the south by taking a progressive approach to civil rights. he convened the presidents committee on civil rights, which in 1948 issues a report calling for an end to segregation and poll taxes, and for more aggresive enforcement of antilynching laws. he also issued an executive order forbidding racial discrimination in the hiring of federal employees and another one fo desegregating the armed forces.
Taft Hartly Act
passed over trumans veto , prohibited union only work environments called closed shops, restricted labors right to strike, prohibited the use of union funds for political purposes, and gave the government broad power to intervene in strikes.

Steelers notebook: Pouncey returns to field, calls experience 'awesome'
Maurkice Pouncey was on the field for the first time since tearing his ACL in the season opener last season and deemed himself "ready to go."
The Steelers kicked off the first of 10 organized team activities Tuesday with the leader of their offensive line in the huddle.
"It was pretty neat," Pouncey said. "I was able to go out there and drive block guys and finish off some plays. It was awesome."
Pouncey was hurt on the 12th play of the season when fellow lineman David DeCastro miscalculated a cut block and took out Pouncey's knee. Pouncey spent the entire offseason at the Steelers' facility rehabbing the injury and said he started to feel normal two months ago.
"It feels great. No problems at all," Pouncey said. "It was more mental than anything else getting your confidence back. The physical part was all with the doctors, and they did a great job."
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he's happy to have his security blanket back.
"It's comfortable," Roethlisberger said. "He's a comfort blanket, and he's a leader of this team and a leader of the offensive line, and it's just good to see him out there because he's a football player and he loves the game. It was great to see as a friend. He's a guy that worked so hard to get back out here, and it's fun to see him back in the pads."
Shazier works with first unit
Rookie first-round pick Ryan Shazier lined up at mack inside linebacker next to Lawrence Timmons with the first team even though the Steelers usually are reluctant to do so with first-year players. Shazier said he's not taking anything for granted.
"You have to work for everything you have," Shazier said. "I am just going to go out there, just like everyone else, go day-to-day and try to earn my job, and try to make sure I can do everything I can to help this team. I just have to keep showing the coaches that I know what I am doing to help this defense, and go out there and play."
Enough carries to go around
One would think that bringing in a pair of running backs with free agent LeGarrette Blount and third-round pick Dri Archer would make last year's first-round pick Le'Veon Bell a little nervous.
"I am not a selfish guy," Bell said. "I am far from thinking about just myself. It is going to give me time to recuperate and be fresh out there.
Bell played 691 snaps despite missing the first three games last season.
Extra points
The Steelers signed two more of their draft picks in fifth-rounder Wesley Johnson (Vanderbilt) and sixth-rounder Jordan Zumwalt. Both signed four-year deals, with Johnson's worth approximately $2.4 million and Zumwalt's $2.3 million. ... Safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor, along with Zumwalt, were the only players not attending Tuesday's first voluntary OTA. Zumwalt is not permitted because UCLA has yet to end its semester. ... The Steelers will conduct OTAs on Wednesday and Thursday before resuming next week.

Hi and welcome to just answer.
This is a common enough problem and am surprised the dealer cannot locate the fault.
what you have is a broken wire within the door wiring harness.
It is normally an earth that breaks that is why you have lost other circuits.
the door panel will have to be removed and the complete wiring harness removed for a bench test.
If you need more help on this then please reply.
regards rob
there was no proble, with the wiring. it was the computer that controls the central lock / electric windows / mirrors

Tin Can Shinny
Shinney is an informal game of hockey, sometimes called, street hockey. There are no formal rules or specific positions. The goal areas are marked by drawing a line at each end of the field or by using objects such as stones. The tin can does not rise above ground level because the players do not have protective gear to wear.

Hello and Welcome
Pics or it didn't happen
If you are in the New England area (or any area) you should consider coming to the Climb to the Clouds Event V in the summer (we are still working out the details). It's a drive event where we drive around the fun/twisty roads of New Hampshire. We raise some money for charity, do auctions, and have lots of fun in the process.
I highly recommend it (I've been going for C2C 2, 3 and 4).
Come hang on the forum. We not only talk cars, we also talk trash.

Utterly Prophetic - Poem by Denis Martindale
Computers can get so advanced
They could predict for Man
With software that has been enhanced
To help fulfil this plan...
And so it was, three decades past,
Elijah Five was made,
So that the nations knew at last
With data it displayed.
Technicians printed off each sheet
As it poured out its reams...
For days and weeks until complete,
Man's hopes and dreams and schemes...
At first they made no sense at all,
As if they were in code,
Great expectations seemed to fall,
Though data overflowed...
Then all at once, one guy declared,
He thought he understood...
And when his findings he had shared,
Elijah Six made good...
The printers started up once more
For hours, days and weeks...
Till everybody knew the score...
The truths each nation seeks...
The New World Order started soon,
Fulfilling what was known,
At first they thought it was a boon,
But then new truths were shown...
Elijah Seven, Eight and Nine
Expressed their grave despairs,
Yet everybody towed the line,
Despite their fervent prayers...
Elijah Ten was not so grim,
He turned their hopes around,
But cynics said Man's hopes were slim
When Antichrist was crowned...
They didn't recognise this man
Until it was too late...
By then they couldn't stop or ban
And so, succumbed to Fate...
But God looked down... and Christ was sent...
A second chance to give...
To save the world no President
Could ever help us with...
Elijahs Five to Ten had done
What none had done before...
They made Mankind forget God's Son,
His future to ignore...
Of all rules, here's the Golden Rule:
God knows from first to last...
Yes, God knows all and God sees all,
The future and the past...

A dad sent home from hospital with painkillers for back pain was found dead in bed the next day, an inquest in Bradford has heard.
Geoffrey Bates, who was 38 and lived at Apperley Road in Apperley Bridge with his partner and children, had woken in the early hours of February 8 this year with a severe pain in his back.
It got so bad he went to Bradford Royal Infirmary and returned home later that day indicating to his partner he had been prescribed painkillers.
Singapore-born Mr Bates went to work but later in the day contacted his mother asking for more painkillers and went to her house to get more medication, the inquest heard. He got home at about 6pm and told his partner he was OK and had gone to bed that night.
But the next morning, on February 9, she found him unresponsive and paramedics called to the house confirmed he had died.
A post mortem has been carried out and the results are awaited.
Yesterday's inquest has been adjourned for no longer than six months and Mr Bates' body has now been formally released to his family for cremation.

This three word movement motivated the slaying of a white state trooper in Kentucky by a black man.
Have any of the desecrated symbols of southern states even been investigated by the FBI or local police?
Because the idea of Black Lives Matter now is the motivating force behind the federal government and jurisprudence in Black-Run America (BRA). [College kid who put noose on Ole Miss civil rights statue gets prison for sick stunt, NY Daily News, 9-17-15]:
A former University of Mississippi student who admitted helping place a noose on a statue of a civil rights activist is going to prison.
A federal judge sentenced Graeme Phillip Harris on Thursday to six months in prison beginning Jan. 4, and 12 months' supervised release. Harris' lawyer argued he didn't deserve jail time.
Harris pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of using a threat of force to intimidate African-American students and employees. Prosecutors say he and two other former students placed a noose on the statue of James Meredith, a black man who integrated Ole Miss amid rioting in 1962.
A second man, Austin Reed Edenfield, had been scheduled to plead guilty Wednesday.
That hearing was postponed. The third former student has not been charged.America is nothing more than an open air gulag at this point, with any action by a white individual potential grounds for their internment (with their highly visible castigation a warning to other whites, a reminder of their complete subjugation in BRA).

HUDSON — The Sunshine Athletic Conference at Fivay upheld last year's verdicts as the Wiregrass Ranch girls ran away with the title for a fifth straight year Thursday. The Bulls racked up 151 points to second-place Ridgewood's 90.5.
The margin would have been greater had Nikita Shah run out the 3,200 meters. Shah, the meet record holder and defending champion from last year in the 3,200, elected to focus on the 1,600. She repeated in 5:14, but not without a strong challenge from Mitchell senior Claudia Cancello (5:15.69).
The boys competition was a different story. Land O'Lakes sought to defend its team title but was in a three-way mishmash with Pasco and Wiregrass Ranch late in the day. Once Pasco's 4x100 team won, the scoring dried up and it became a two-horse race between Land O'Lakes and Wiregrass.
The Bulls pulled ahead, 101.33-98, heading into the 3,200 and 4x400. Then the Gators pulled ahead as Tyler Stahl (9:55.32) and Jake Poore (10:23.06) took first and third in the 3,200. The Gators have a pole vaulter left to compete today so they needed to keep the lead through the 4x400 to secure the title. They delivered in form as they set a 4x400 record for the group and finished second behind Ridgewood.
Wiregrass finished fourth. The final from Thursday was Land O'Lakes 122, Wiregrass 115.33 and the Gators can add to that today.
Individual accomplishments rivaled the fantastic team finish. Pasco freshman Alfreda Steele won the triple crown by taking first in the 100 (12.37), 200 (26.00) and long jump (16 feet, 11 inches).
"There are freshmen that can win these (conference titles)," Pirates coach Norman Graham said. "There just aren't many that can win in three events."
Anclote senior Spencer Guerette won the 1,600 (4:30.36) and 800 (2:01.23). Guerette got a late challenge in the 800 from Wiregrass Ranch's Ermias Bireda, but his signature win came in the 1,600.
"People usually try to run the last 400 fast; I try to run the last 500 fast," Guerette said. "That's kind of my trick."
It was Bireda again challenging Guerette on the last lap of the 1,600, but with 200 left, Guerette just shifted into another gear.
The Gators' Hallie Grimes repeated as champion in the 400 in 59.24. Mitchell's Michael Tancreti won the 200 in 22.99 and placed third in the 100 (11.27). Sunlake's Eddie Burgos won a photo finish in the 100 in 11.08 and placed second in the 200 (23.40).
Wiregrass senior Elijah Boston set a personal record and took first in the discus with a throw of 143-04. River Ridge senior Brittany O'Leary took first in shot (36-11) and third in discus (93-7.25).

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
On the face of what you have written, there is no reason to believe that sanctions would be granted. In New York, attorney sanctions are governed by NYCRR Section 130-1.1, which I have copied for you below. I will highlight relevant sections for you that will help you evaluate whether you could prove in a motion what is necessary in order to get an award for costs or sanctions.
Section 130-1.1 Costs; sanctions.
(a) The court, in its discretion, may award to any party or attorney in any civil action or proceeding before the court, except where prohibited by law, costs in the form of reimbursement for actual expenses reasonably incurred and reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from frivolous conduct as defined in this Part. In addition to or in lieu of awarding costs, the court, in its discretion may impose financial sanctions upon any party or attorney in a civil action or proceeding who engages in frivolous conduct as defined in this Part, which shall be payable as provided in section 130-1.3 of this Part. This Part shall not apply to town or village courts, to proceedings in a small claims part of any court, or to proceedings in the Family Court commenced under Article 3, 7 or 8 of the Family Court Act.
(b) The court, as appropriate, may make such award of costs or impose such financial sanctions against either an attorney or a party to the litigation or against both. Where the award or sanction is against an attorney, it may be against the attorney personally or upon a partnership, firm, corporation, government agency, prosecutor's office, legal aid society or public defender's office with which the attorney is associated and that has appeared as attorney of record. The award or sanctions may be imposed upon any attorney appearing in the action or upon a partnership, firm or corporation with which the attorney is associated.
(c) For purposes of this Part, conduct is frivolous if:
(1) it is completely without merit in law and cannot be supported by a reasonable argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law;
(2) it is undertaken primarily to delay or prolong the resolution of the litigation, or to harass or maliciously injure another; or
(3) it asserts material factual statements that are false.
Frivolous conduct shall include the making of a frivolous motion for costs or sanctions under this section. In determining whether the conduct undertaken was frivolous, the court shall consider, among other issues the (1) circumstances under which the conduct took place, including the time available for investigating the legal or factual basis of the conduct; and (2) whether or not the conduct was continued when its lack of legal or factual basis was apparent, should have been apparent, or was brought to the attention of counsel or the party.
(d) An award of costs or the imposition of sanctions may be made either upon motion in compliance with CPLR 2214 or 2215 or upon the court's own initiative, after a reasonable opportunity to be heard. The form of the hearing shall depend upon the nature of the conduct and the circumstances of the case.
Thank you - I hope my answer has been informative for you. If it has, please hit the green Accept button so I can receive credit for my response. I am happy to answer follow up questions. Have a great day!
Unless the claims in the pleading are false, or meet the other requirements of the statute, sanctions will not lie. However, it sounds like, if the things in the pleading are true, that there could be come attorneys who have committed ethical violations on one side or malpractice on the other by either not recognizing the evidentiary hearing was needed or failing to disclose a material fact to the court.
Thank you!
Okay, let me make sure I am understanding.
$40K in sanctions were granted against your attorneys?? That's almost unheard of.
It is likely that the court got very, very angry at the attorneys for failing to disclose that material fact and slapped them on the wrist. It is likely that the sanctions fell under subsection (3): it asserts material factual statements that are false.
While they didn't actually make a false statement, it can be argued that the failure to disclose that very material fact had the same effect as making a false statement to the court. Although that is just speculation - the court should have put into its order for sanctions the reasoning behind them.
Relevant facts are disclosed through pleadings and submissions to the court - it is highly unusual that attorneys would be sanctioned for failing to request an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court will decide whether or not the trial court erred in sanctioning your attorneys - in that determination they may look at whether or not the town attorneys knew about the mental illness.

Blueberry Dumplings
Recipe by CountryLady
One of my childhood memories is picking wild blueberries with my siblings when our family went camping in northern Ontario - then my mother would make blueberry dumplings for us! This recipe from Jim Dodge, Food & Beverage Manager at the Getty Center in L.A., is much better - sorry mom! Wild blueberries are best - but cultivated or frozen blueberries or even Saskatoons will work. Top with creme fraiche or whipped cream.
Top Review by sugarpea
Yum, yum, yum. I used Splenda, skim milk and the stovetop. It all worked beautifully. Next time (and there WILL be a next time) I will try 1T less butter and see how that works. Only mistake I made was to spoon out a portion into a bowl for myself in order to let it cool more quickly. The dumplings need that 15 minute cool down period to finish cooking. So don't rush things. Be patient, it's worth the wait.
See Discussion:4 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups fresh blueberries, preferably wild blueberries
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup creme fraiche (or whipping cream)
Directions See How It's Made
- Filling: Adjust oven rack to the lowest level and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Wash the berries in a bowl of cold water, remove any leaves or stems and drain well.
- In a 2 ½ to 3 quart casserole with a tight fitting lid, stir together the sugar and water until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the berries and cover with the lid.
- Bake on the lower rack for about 30 minutes or until the filling gives off a little steam.
- While the filling is baking, begin preparing the batter so that you are able to make the dumplings quickly.
- Dumplings: In a medium size bowl blend together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan.
- Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the milk.
- Warm over moderate heat until the milk is warm and the butter is almost completely melted.
- Turn off the heat and leave the mixture in the saucepan on the burner so that the milk stays warm and butter stays melted.
- Get ready in your workspace: a fork to mix with and two large oval soupspoons to form the dumplings.
- When the blueberry filling is ready, remove the casserole from the oven, but do not remove the lid.
- With a fork, stir the milk mixture into the flour only until the milk has been absorbed.
- The batter should look lumpy and under mixed.
- Remove the lid from the top of the casserole and keep it close by.
- Drop large spoonfuls of the batter on top of the blueberry mixture forming first a circle and then filling in the center of the circle.
- The dumplings will sink a little.
- Return the lid to the top and place back into the oven.
- Continue cooking for 15 minutes.
- Do not remove the lid until this baking time has elapsed.
- Remove from the oven and place on a rack.
- Remove the lid and let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
- Whip the crème fraîche (or whipping cream) until thickened.
- To serve, spoon into deep bowls and top with a dollop of cream fraîche or whipping cream.

As he is forced to survive in the big city, Surly comes up with a daring plan to rob a nut store to stock up for winter.
The first full trailer for animated film "The Nut Job" is loaded with hilarious scenes. Will Arnett lends his voice to the mischievous squirrel Surly. He is left to fend off for himself in the big city after accidentally burning down a tree that led to him being banished from his park.
Surly then stumbles upon Maury's Nut Store. In a desperate attempt to survive the approaching winter, the squirrel and his rat buddy assemble a crew to rob the store. As the brain of the heist, he hatches a plan to break into the building and escape the humans.
The family-friendly pic is directed by CGI veteran Peter Lepeniotis, based on his 2005 short animated film "Surly Squirrel". It is due to draw laughs in theaters on January 17, 2014 with Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Stephen Lang and Maya Rudolph among the voice cast.


text: Hey fellas. I've had a few calls now asking about the format for the tourney coming up later this month. Can someone please let us know what the format will be so we can better plan our trips? Some are flying so it'll be really helpful for them. I'll be driving so I'm a little more flexible. Also, if there's a flyer, please e-mail it to me so we can post it on our site. The sooner the better. I'm looking forward to it!

Like most other Americans, I was stunned last night of hearing of the killing of Osama Bin Laden by U.S. special forces in Pakistan. I think most Americans like myself had not given much thought to bin Laden and had accepted that he might never be captured or killed. I have some quick thoughts on this major development.
One is that if the death of bin Laden helps to lessen the threat of future terrorist attacks such as 9/11 that his death will serve a purpose in saving lives.
Second, I don't believe at the same time that there should be euphoria over bin Laden's death because he and Al Qaeda only represent the symptoms of what causes terrorism. The causes as is being exemplified in the political rebellions in the Middle East have to do with poverty, modernization, rising expectations, and, at the same time, the lack of political self-determination for many especially in the Third World.
We should also recognize that these causes are also exacerbated unfortunately by historic U.S. policies that have led to support for repressive and authoritarian governments in regions such as the Middle East based on American desires for oil and imperial power. Unless we address the underlying causes that give rise to terrorism, the killing of bin Laden will only be treating the symptoms.
Third, and finally, I am concerned from a Catholic perspective about the morality of any U.S. involvement in assassinations. I am not saying that the killing of bin Laden was a deliberate assassination but the fact is that we had targeted him for assassination.
How do we reconcile this with the Catholic reverence for life? Is the killing of bin Laden part of a just war? And even if we can morally justify it what about the collateral damage of the killing of innocent civilians, for example, as a result of the use of drones in Pakistan? I don't have the answers to this but I do know that war and military campaigns will not effectively deal with the many problems in the world related to poverty, the uneven distribution of wealth in the world, and the continued exploitation of Third Word resources by the stronger powers.
I would like to see, but I doubt that I will, our pastors and priests at masses next Sunday in their homilies address the moral issues surrounding the killing of bin Laden and the U.S. strategic use of targeted assassinations. We need to hear this from the Church and our priests should have the courage to address this issues rather than fearing alienating parishioners.

Look at the city's Specific Plan
The MOD (Mutual Orange Distributors) packing house debate is just the tip of the iceberg. If you look at the Specific Plan the city is now using, our downtown district will be streets lined with five-story buildings with retail on the first floor and apartments and parking above. When built out, it will include 1,600 apartments and about 3,900 residents.
To control all this traffic, there will be eight stop lights on Orange Street between Citrus and Colton avenues. Going through the plans and design teams, no Redlands or Riverside firms seem to be involved. They are from Orange County, and that is the way our downtown district will look - Anaheim.
The Specific Plan's introduction states four goals:
1. Promote downtown Redlands' economic vitality by encouraging a mix of uses and by encouraging transit-oriented development in the vicinity of the proposed railway station.
2. Create a pedestrian-oriented environment.
3. Maintain and enhance a distinct Redlands character, which is based upon its historical elements.
4. Enhance and extend the civic realm through vibrant streetscapes.
Gee, sounds good to me, yet the following 200 pages of the document sacrifice 2, 3 and 4 for Goal 1.
I lived in Pasadena for 50 years and have often used it as a reference point. They implemented a Specific Plan much like ours 10 years ago.
Now in the southwest area and around Lake Avenue there are hundreds of five- to seven-story buildings. Some are frightful. One at the corner of Arroyo and Raymond is a series of stacked multicolored boxes with doormat-size balconies. Traffic is terrible.
My daughter, who still lives there, avoids downtown. If she goes to a movie, it's Santa Anita Mall or Rosemead and Foothill, where parking is free, plentiful and close. I know of one Old Town movie theater that has closed, and others are struggling.
Perhaps with completion of our Specific Plan we will be endangering the Krikorian Theatre.
Our city should be building what we want, not for a bunch of folks from Orange County.
I invite you to take a look at these plans.
Bob Clark, president emeritus of the Redlands Conservancy

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- The Rangers have agreed to minor league contracts with infielder Kensuke Tanaka (kin-SOO-kay teh-NAH-kuh) and pitchers Ryan Feierabend (FEAR-ahh-bend) and Daniel McCutchen.
Tanaka, who made his major league debut at 32 with San Francisco last season, will be in major league camp along with Feierabend.
Tanaka was a teammate of Texas right-hander Yu Darvish in Japan's Pacific League and spent 13 years playing in his home country before coming to the U.S. He was with Triple-A Fresno most of last season and hit .267 in 15 games with San Francisco.
Feierabend was in the Texas farm system this year. The left-hander spent part of three seasons with Seattle from 2006-08.
McCutchen, a right-hander, was in the Baltimore organization last season.

Selected Community Events
Lifetree Cafe: "Amazing Grace'
Apr 28, 2013 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Meg's Daily Grind 1141 N Alpine Rd
Mother of Amish Schoolhouse Shooter Interviewed at Lifetree Café
An exclusive filmed interview with Terri Roberts, mother of Amish schoolhouse shooter Charles Roberts, will be screened at Lifetree Café on Sunday, April 28 at 7 pm.
On October 2, 2006, Charles Roberts backed his truck up to the entrance of the West Nickel Mines School in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He barricaded himself inside and shot 10 young Amish girls. Five died. Roberts killed himself before police could enter the one-room schoolhouse.
Roberts' mother, who was working nearby at the time of the shootings, was embraced by the Amish community. Amish members stunned observers when they openly forgave the killer and his family. The Roberts family is not Amish.
Participants at this program, titled "Amazing Grace," will experience never-before-seen footage and hear from Roberts, who still lives among the families of the girls her son murdered.
"The trauma, pain, and shame endured by this mother turned into an incredible picture of forgiveness and grace," said Lifetree's Thom Schultz, who conducted the exclusive interview with Roberts.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located at Meg's Daily Grind, 1141 N. Alpine Rd.

Have you read Crazy Rich Asians yet? It's your summer fun book, I promise. Jackie Collins meets The Joy Luck Club. Crazy Rich Asians is all about crazy rich people in Singapore, touching briefly on Asian social hierarchy and snobbery.

H7 at Game 7!
Splash, Noel Vasquez/ Victor Decolongon/ Getty
It's Harper Seven Beckham + Hockey. I mean if these don't blow up your heart... (even if your team was knocked out in the first round). The Beckhams hit up Game 7 last night between the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings. Nothing quite like the stress of a Game 7, especially when you have to book it out of the building before the mob lights your car on fire. Full Story
Beckham retires
Wenn, FameFlynet
David Beckham has just announced his retirement. He'd been playing with Paris Saint-Germain, helping the team win its first French title in 19 years on Saturday. Here he is celebrating with his teammates at the victory parade on Tuesday. PSG was expected to ask him to stay for another year but he's decided to turn it down, explaining: "I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level. Full Story
H7 and Vogue
FameFlynet, Splash
Is H7 tipping the doorman here? This picture is cracking me up. I would totally open the door for H7. For free! Here she is leaving a members' club in London today with her mother and earlier in the day on a walk with her father in Notting Hill. She seems to like sticking her hand in people's faces. Full Story
H7 dresses for Daddy
When she goes out with her ma, H7 is straight up fashion girl -- mostly dresses, mega shoe steeze, and always a great coat. If she's going out with her dad though, H7 pulls out the active wear. Check her out today on a walk with David Beckham. Those chunk thighs are wrapped up in leggings under a warm red sport coat and matching kicks. Full Story
H7's Pink Lady walking boots
Wenn, FameFlynet, Neil Warner/ Splash
Check it out -- how f-cking cute is this? H7 and her dad went for a walk. She wore her Pink Ladies jacket and a dope pair of baby boots. "And we're gonna ruuuuuule the school!" H7 had a busy weekend. On Saturday she hit up the Hertfordshire Theatre with her ma and her brother Romeo to watch the Three Counties Youth ballet, just one of the many stops on Victoria Beckham's busy schedule. Full Story
H7 the fangirl
H7 was in Paris with the entire family, including grandparents and aunts, on the weekend watching her dad. She has a lot of expressions now, ranging from sleepy to intense to playful to not happy at all, as there's a shot of her here where she looks like she's about to go full hissy. My favourite is the one of her being held by Cruz. Full Story
H7 the fifth
FameFlynet, Pacific Coast News
Beatle? Oh stop. It's not blasphemy. It's jokes. Because...look at her cute Seargent Pepper jacket! And her leather patch tights! And her boots. I need everything in adult size. It's H7 in Paris with the family, arriving by Eurostar, in town presumably as David Beckham begins training with the team while Posh tries to get some facetime with Karl Lagerfeld. Full Story
Posh: salmon tartare and two glasses of wine
The Beckhams were out today in London. According to the paps, it was an early celebration for Cruz who turns 8 on Wednesday. H7 put on a party dress and had her dad carry her bottle. What's the rate of H7's re-wear? Just once? Or is there a recycle system in her closet? Anyway, here's something I thought you might enjoy: My friend had dinner at Cucina Asellina in London on Saturday night. Full Story
Rave reviews for H7's ma

OK, I've only read two of them -- The New York Times and USA Today -- but both were, like, super gushy. It sounds like Victoria Beckham's F/W 2013 collection is her strongest yet. I posted the pictures in LifeStyle last night. Full Story
Beckhams in Paris
KCS Presse/ Splash
David Beckham is currently at a hospital in Paris where he's undergoing physical evaluation, a formality before the announcement -- Becks will play for Paris Saint-Germain, back in Europe to end his career. A press conference will follow shortly. And, as you would expect, already the British are sh-tting on the move as a purely commercial endeavour, for both the club and Becks. Full Story

Ng Suat Tong invited me to sit on the jury for the Hooded Utilitarian's Best Comics Criticism of 2010, along with some writers who both write and read more prolifically than me. I'll have my personal list in a bit, but until then he has a smart, precise rundown of both our process and the field:
You have to be pretty stupid to write at length about comics online. With a bit of luck, comics scripting can be turned into a lucrative career [or a film deal-- my note]; writing about comics online, hardly ever. The best criticism takes time and frequently pays next to nothing. In other words, comics criticism requires a special kind of insanity… No surprise then that the attrition rate has been heavy. It wouldn't take too long to name the various comics critics who began their "careers" in the 80s and who remain active in the field today. The history of comics criticism is littered with the corpses of writers who used to write about comics. The resultant toll on experience has had a damaging impact on the art form.
