NEW YORK - A little more than a year after he arrived in New York to such fanfare, the New York Jets have released Tim Tebow.
Tebow arrived at the team's facility in Florham Park, N.J., on Monday morning and was told he had been cut.
Tebow, the Nease High School standout who went on to lead the Florida Gators to two national championships and win a Heisman Trophy, could never get onto the field with the Jets, despite leading the 2011 Denver Broncos to a playoff victory at the height of Tebowmania.
The Jets clearly were going in another direction when they drafted yet another quarterback on Saturday, making West Virginia's Geno Smith the sixth on their roster.
Tebow, speaking in Fort Worth on Sunday night, was asked about his future and said that he is "a member of the New York Jets." Star-Telegram's Charean Williams reported that Tebow made the comment with a smile.
What happens now for Tebow? The Jets have tried with no luck since the season ended to find a trade partner for him.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have repeatedly said the have no interest in Tebow playing for his hometown NFL team.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said in a statement by the team in announcing the move that had been expected for months: "Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped."
The Heisman Trophy winner attempted just eight passes after his ballyhooed arrival in a surprising trade from the Denver Broncos in March 2012. He threw for 39 yards and rushed 32 times for 102 yards - and stunningly had no touchdowns as a member of the Jets.
Meanwhile, starter Mark Sanchez struggled amid constant questions about Tebow's playing time, and still Tebow remained mostly on the sideline. The Jets and new general manager John Idzik drafted former West Virginia star Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft Friday, giving New York six quarterbacks on its roster - and creating uncertainty about Sanchez's future as well.
"Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason," Ryan said. "We wish him the best moving forward."
Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs in 2011, but became expendable when Denver signed Peyton Manning as a free agent. The popular backup quarterback was acquired by the Jets for a fourth-round draft pick and $1.5 million in salary. He was introduced at the Jets' facility to plenty of fanfare at a lavish news conference, with Tebow repeatedly saying he was "excited" to be in New York.
It turned out to be one of the few high points in Tebow's stay with the Jets. Along with his shirtless jog from the practice field in the rain during training camp, of course.
Owner Woody Johnson jokingly said last season that "you can never have enough Tebow." Well, the Jets apparently had their fill after just one year.
From the day the Jets made the move to bring Tebow in to compete with Sanchez, many fans and media predicted it was only a matter of time before the former Florida star stepped in as the starting quarterback. There were billboards outside the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey welcoming Tebow, and sandwiches named after him at Manhattan delis.
Meanwhile, the Jets insisted having both Tebow and Sanchez would not be a distraction. The plan was that the team would benefit from having both players' different skill sets: Sanchez as the traditional quarterback, and Tebow running the wildcat-style offense.
While everyone from Johnson to Ryan to former general manager Mike Tannenbaum to former offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said they were all "on board" with Tebow, it became evident early that he had no clear role.
And Tebow simply didn't impress enough in practice to earn more playing time.
Ryan refused to start Tebow in place of a struggling Sanchez late in the season, choosing instead to go with third-stringer Greg McElroy ahead of him for one game - despite Tebow's multitude of fans taking to Twitter and begging the team to give their favorite player a chance. The since-fired Sparano never was able to figure out a way to consistently use Tebow, who spent most of his time on the sideline during games.
He was solid in his role on special teams as the personal punt protector, but the Jets stopped using him even there after he broke two ribs in a game at Seattle in November. Tebow's overall role diminished greatly after the injury, even after he healed. He tried to hide his frustration, but acknowledged late in the season that things didn't turn out quite how he expected in New York.
"I think it's fair to say," Tebow said, "that I'm a little disappointed."
The Jets appear to be sticking with Sanchez despite his struggles and the arrival of Smith as the future quarterback because he is guaranteed $8.25 million this season. But Idzik made it clear that the team would bring in competition for Sanchez. Tebow, however, is not going to be among the team's options. And, he's free to explore other opportunities - even if there don't seem to be many at this point.
It appeared Jacksonville, the other team to pursue Tebow last offseason, would be an obvious landing spot. But new general manager David Caldwell nixed the idea of a happy homecoming when he declared at his introductory news conference that he couldn't "imagine a scenario in which he'll be a Jacksonville Jaguar."
Matt Robinson, who played for eight years in the NFL, said the Jaguars are making a sound decision by not pursuing Tebow.
"I think to bring Tebow in would in no way affect tickets sales like everyone thought, and I think he would create more of a controversy and distraction than it's worth right now," Robinson said. "If the Jaguars wanted to address the quarterback situation, they would have done so in the draft."
Some Jacksonville fans say the 25-year-old Tebow was never given a fair shot at success.
"Until he's gets with a program or someone builds a program around Tebow's strengths, then the possibilities are limited," Jaguars fan Frank Lightfoot said.
Some fans still think the Jaguars are making a big mistake.
"The positive aura that goes around him, his time with the Broncos, that's what he brings to a team," fan Chris Preslock said. "He may not have all the mechanics down, but sometimes you can't replace leadership."
Many believe Tebow's best chance to stick in the NFL would be to switch positions, but he insists he is a quarterback and just wants an opportunity. Just as the Broncos gave him two seasons ago when he took over for Kyle Orton and led Denver to several comeback victories and into the playoffs.
Tebow was the talk of the country back then, as it seemed everyone - including actor Robert Downey Jr. at the Oscars - was dropping to a knee to do their version of "Tebowing," mimicking the quarterback's prayerful pose.
It was something that was absent all season in his stint with the Jets.
Chicago could be a possibility since new coach Marc Trestman worked with Tebow before the NFL draft in 2010 and in the Senior Bowl and liked what he saw. He'd be a backup there behind Jay Cutler, though. Tampa Bay, San Diego and New England might also be options.
Tebow could also head to Canada and play in the CFL, taking the route several others before him have, such as Doug Flutie, Warren Moon and Jeff Garcia. The Montreal Alouettes own his exclusive negotiating rights, but whether Tebow would even be open to a move north of the U.S. border is uncertain.
Brett Bouchy, the owner of the Orlando Predators of the Arena League, recently told the Orlando Sentinel that his team would "love to have him," and added that "we have a contract waiting for him to sign."
Either way, it's quite a fall from grace for Tebow, who was a two-time national champion with the University of Florida, and whose No. 15 Broncos jersey ranked second in national sales to Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers in 2011. He remained a model citizen throughout his frustrating year in New York and answered the constant barrage of questions about his role and mindset all season.
Recently retired Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff labeled the way the team used Tebow an "absolute mess." Former Jets teammate Mike DeVito, now with Kansas City, said after the season that he would've liked to have seen Tebow get a chance.
Whether Tebow gets another one elsewhere - and if it's as a quarterback - this season remains to be seen.

Sculpture: 20th century: Georgia Stele
Georgia Stele

|"I want my art to be about man touching stone . . ." Jesús Moroles, quoted in Adlmann, Moroles, 2003
In April 1999, Jesús Moroles brought the unfinished Georgia Stele to the Smithsonian American Art Museum. He uncovered the sculpture and began to hammer stone chips off of the top, encouraging visitors to join in. Moroles then removed a few more and declared the piece finished, stating that if another chip were removed the sculpture would be a total loss and could never be repaired. This unexpected performance demonstrated Moroles's belief that sculptures are sacred objects that should belong to all people, and not just the artist or a museum. Nevertheless, he claimed creative ownership over the work by declaring that the work was done and could no longer be altered.

You're welcome! Have a relaxing rest of your pregnancy bonding with your bubba,
You're welcome! Have a relaxing rest of your pregnancy bonding with your bubba,
What are the causes of blighted ovum? Does it have to do with my and my husband genes? or Is it because of my eggs?
Blighted ovums can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities that come from sperm or egg. A blighted ovum is a very early miscarriage where conception occurs and the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterus, but it does not grow into an embryo.
A very early miscarriage can be caused by either chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, or by hormonal balance in mum.
One of the best things you can do to help reduce your chances of having another blighted ovum or miscarriage is to be sure that you take a few months to prepare your body for pregnancy. Good preconception care can make a big difference.
Warm Regards,
Thank you Kate. This is so informative.
You're welcome. Glad you found the information helpful.
Hi Everyone
Sorry that I have been so wayward with the writing, but every time I turned on the computer to do so I either got distracted or was tired sitting.
Well so far everything has been going great. I am at 39 weeks 4 days now, baby is due on Thursday. I am waiting in anticipation. First time mom, wow. A bit scared, but I will cross that bridge when I get there. Just waiting for the next state, Labour.
I don't what to expect other than what I have heard and every situation is different. Plus everyone seem to want to give their own personal or heard horror story. I'm trying to ignore them. I have actually went to sleep with my eyes opened because people who believe because they had a child and think that they are experts predicted when I should go into to labour. So I ended up going to sleep wondering if tonight is going to be the night. So far they have been wrong.
Well I am proud to report that I have had no complications so far and hope it continues that way. I am looking forward to holding, kissing and bringing home my baby girl so that we can start a new chapter in our lives.
Hi Tina,
Thank you for the wonderful update!
As you start to prepare for labour, you may want to do some things to help your body be as ready as it can be for labour, which can shorten the duration and make it less painful.
You may also wonder what signs you should be looking for that means labour is close. Your body will tell you!
And if you hit that 40 week mark and baby still hasn't come, you may decide that you'd like to do what you can to "help" baby make his or her appearance. There are some wonderful, natural things you can do to help your body go into labour if it's ready.
The Birth, Baby & Mom site has some really good information on all of those things.
Post back if you have any questions or if you even start to wonder if you're actually in labour. I am monitoring this thread closely and will reply as soon as I see your post.
Warm Regards,
Hi Tina,
I'm thinking of you too. I like your positive thinking! I am 37 weeks pregnant now and keep being told 'horror birthing stories' by people I meet when I'm out and about. I'm not sure why people feel the need to do this - I certainly don't ask to hear their stories!
However, as you say every birth is different and keeping calm and relaxed will help your baby to come more easily into the world. I am planning a hypnobirth - you may also find reading out some positive affirmations about birthing useful e.g. 'My baby and my body know how to work together', 'I look forward to my baby's birth with joy'.
Enjoy the remainder of your pregnancy and I wish you a life-affirming, positive birth of your first beautiful baby.
Best wishes,
Hi Ladies
I gave birth last Friday, October 12, 2012 at 19:59 to a beautiful bouncing baby girl, Arielle Nicola. Birth was all natural, not by choice. I guess I appeared to be handling the contractions very well, so they didn't bother to ask me if I wanted. I had to get labour induced at 40+1. I got to the first 4cm on my own and the pitocin did the rest of the job for me.
From 4cm to 7cm wasn't bad. It was the last 3cm that were rough. I breathed through some and shouted through most. While everyone keep telling me to breath and I said to them of course I am breathing and don't tell me to breath. At one time I told a male Doctor I would like to see him push out a baby.
My care was good, could have been a little better and my Midwife was the nicest. Why did not one tell me about the vaginal examinations. Oh my what an experience. Or how the doctor goes about rupturing your membrane.
Well the actual giving birth wasn't too bad. Had to get an episiotomy and was introduced to the sitz bath which helped. A week later and baby and I are doing great. Not so sore anymore just experiencing some gas. But all is well with the grace of God. She is such a beautiful blessing to me and my family.
I hope all is well with you all.
Love Tina
Hi Tina,
Congratulations on the birth of your precious Arielle. Little ones are wonderful blessings.
Thanks for sharing your birth story. I had to chuckle when you told a male doctor that you'd like to see him push out a baby. Definitely sounds like you were working hard to get that baby out.
You're a trouper for managing an induced/pit labour without an epidural. Though all of my 5 labours were natural without pitocin, I can say that pitocin contractions can piggy back, one on top of the other, without giving mum time to rest in between, which can make for an exhausted mum. Well done!
I didn't even think to mention about the vaginal exams or rupturing of membranes or even episiotomy. I had my membranes ruptured with two of my babies, but it was simple and easy. The midwife just waited until I was between contractions and relaxed. Then she used something that looks like a crochet hook to break the bulging bag. Once the bag is broken, contractions become much more intense. With my last baby, my bag didn't break until I was pushing, which meant that my contractions were much easier to handle up to that point. There are even babies that are born "en caul" which means that the bag doesn't break during delivery and then the midwife or doctor will break the bag after delivery. I believe we would see more of these types of deliveries if membranes were left in tact more often.
My vaginal checks were only done in between contractions as well. Never during contractions, so they weren't painful at all.
If you are experiencing gas, it could be food related. Often times wheat can cause gas (i.e. bread, pasta, etc.) or cabbage or any food that you may have a sensitivity to. You may want to try eating lightly steamed vegetables (instead of raw) and high quality animal protein like chicken or beef without the pasta, cookies, biscuits, crackers or bread, to see if that helps. Do you know what your blood type is? People with blood type A or AB have very low levels of stomach acid, so often times taking a digestive enzyme supplement can help relieve gas. Papaya and Pineapple help with digestion due to their enzyme content.
Sounds like you and baby are doing well now. Please post if you have any questions about breastfeeding, burping baby, calming a crying baby, or anything else and we'll try to give you some helpful suggestions.
Most of all, sleep when baby sleeps, so that you get plenty of rest. Having a baby that needs to eat every 2-3 hours throughout the night can make for a very tired mum if you don't get naps during the day. The less rest you get, the more susceptible you will be to getting sick and the less energy your body will have for digesting food.
Congratulations again - would love to see a picture of your little one if you have one to post.
Warm Regards,
Hey Ladies
How is it going? It has been a long time. Sorry that it has been that way. My daughter is growing beautifully. She was 2 years in October and ready for preschool.
Thank you so much for the ear, the fingers, kind words, guidance and support. I really needed to hear objective voices during my pregnancy. Thank you again.
Hi Tina,
It's great to see you back in the forums. Thanks for checking in! Two years old already! Wow! Children are so precious. Preschool years are a lot of fun, as they learn their numbers, colors, shapes and sizes.
Enjoy your time with your daughter. They grow so fast! My first baby is 22 years old now!
Warm Regards,

HOUSTON - A waiter who stood up for a special needs child was honored by the boy's school on Thursday.
Michael Garcia, a waiter at Laurenzo's, 4412 Washington, recently refused to serve a customer who made a rude comment about 5-year-old Milo Castillo, who was having dinner with his parents.
"I heard the man say, 'Special needs children need to be special somewhere else,'" Garcia said. "At that point, I said, 'I'm sorry, I can't serve you. It's not right what you said about that little boy.'"
Since KPRC Local 2 aired the story on Jan. 18, Garcia said he's received many thanks and donations.
"I've gotten letters. I've gotten phone calls. I've gotten Facebook messages. People are sending contributions and gifts," Garcia said.
On Thursday, Milo's school, The Rise School of Houston, held a ceremony to thank Garcia for standing up for what's right.
"I can't believe how this has taken off," Garcia said. "The support has been amazing. I've met so many wonderful children."
Garcia donated the money sent to him to help the school.
"I have a check here for $1,145," Garcia said.
Garcia said he wants to start a scholarship for the school to bring awareness to bullying. He also said he hopes everyone won't be afraid to speak up for someone else.
"Why would you want to say anything about anybody because they don't look the same as you or are different?" Garcia said.

If I had to choose one thing I love about Estee Lauder's skin care, it has to be the fact that they realize we are women of all ages, skin types, and ethnicities. In fact, they base their research on it. I agree with you if you're saying that this just makes sense. Beauty Buzz introduces Estee Lauder's new Advanced Time Zone, an age reversing line/wrinkle collection.
Yes…you read that right. It's an age reversing collection.
According to Estee Lauder, this collection of powerful moisturizers rewind skin's visible signs of aging, with a revolutionary Tri-HA Cell Signaling ComplexTM that helps restrengthen skin's natural cellular communication. Skin's natural production of Hyaluronic Acid is boosted by 182% in just three days and healthy skin cells are signaled to migrate to the site of damage up to 7x faster. Skin looks dramatically smoother, fresher and less lined – fast.
- Advanced Time Zone Creme SPF 15 for Dry Skin
- Advanced Time Zone Creme SPF 15 for Normal/Combination Skin Hydrating Oil-Free Gel Lotion for Normal/Combination Skin
- Advanced Time Zone Night for All Skintypes
- Advanced Time Zone Eye Creme for All Skintypes
All of these are lightweight, silky, and are refreshing. It smells great too. The day creme's consists of fresh and floral notes including lemon, cherry blossom, and peony. For the night cremes, there are gentle notes of white orchid, purples iris, and Tahitian vanilla.
Are you an Estee Lauder fan? Will you try the Advanced Time Zone?

Mark Bower may have been at the helm during Guiseley's run from third from bottom into the Skrill Conference North play-offs.
However, the 34-year-old, who is much more a manager than a player these days, is quick to pay tribute not only to his players, but also to the other two members of his gang of three.
The former Bradford City defender said: "Assistant player-manager Danny Boshell has a different set of contacts to mine, and together we have been able to bring players in.
"Also Martin Sgtingfellow is not just our physio. He is also a UEFA-B licence holder and so can also take training."
Guiseley may have gone on an impressive run of 21 victories and six draws in 31 matches that has propelled them from being in danger of dropping back into the Evo-Stik Premier Division, but success wasn't an instant thing when the Bantams' favourite took over.
Far from it. When Bower replaced Steve Kittrick six matches in, the Lions had won two, drawn two and lost two and scored six goals and conceded nine.
Five games later, Guiseley's record was played 11, won two, drawn three, lost six, goals for nine, goals conceded 18, points nine.
"The first thing we addresssed is not conceding goals," said Bower. "We knew we had a good squad and we brought in one or two players and then we started scoring goals."
Each one of those 69 goals since the Lions were 20th has been worth a point (69 goals, 69 points up to last Saturday) but Bower has been grateful that they have been shared around.
"It isn't like we have a 40-goal player who if he gets injured we don't know where the next goal is coming from," said Bower.
"AJ (Alex Johnson) has 16, Adam Boyes 14, Gavin Rothery 14 (including eight penalties), Wayne Brooksby ten, Jake Lawlor seven, and even our centre halfs Danny Ellis (seven) and Danny Hall (four) have been chipping in."
North Ferriby are bidding for a second straight promotion but maybe the fact that Guiseley have made a late run on the rails could make a difference.
Guiseley won last night's first leg 2-0 at home, with the second leg at North Ferriby on Saturday.

A 'PREDATORY' attacker who raped a frightened schoolgirl and later sexually assaulted the victim, has been jailed for 34 months.
Burnley Crown Court heard how Abdul Basit, now 22, and who carried out the rape on the teenager when he was about 17, left his victim shocked, distraught and sobbing. She was to tell the police she had been attacked in the early hours and described the defendant as 'stinking of booze'.
The hearing was told Basit, said to have a drink problem, has been served with 'more than one abduction notice' relating to girls under 16.
Prosecutor Lisa Worsley said: "He has even been watched by one of the teams in the area which look after young girls likely to get targeted by predatory adult males."
Basit, from Burnley, but of no fixed address, had admitted rape and sexual assault.
He was ordered to sign the sexual offenders register and was given a 10-year sexual offences prevention order.
Miss Worsley told the court the defendant was interviewed about the rape on January 30. He denied he had done it and claimed the victim was making up the allegation simply to seek attention.
When questioned over the second offence, in which he made the victim touch him, Basit denied sexual assault.
He was charged in March. The defendant had 11 previous convictions for 15 offences, including a record for violence.
Andrew Nuttall, defending Basit, said: "He finds it difficult, for understandable reasons, to talk about it. He's ashamed of it, of that there is no doubt.
"Fundamentally, he is fully aware of what he has done and fundamentally, he is fully aware that effectively, it has ruined his life. He realised the best thing is to hold his hand up and say he has done this and say, in a sense, he needs some help."
The barrister continued: "He presents as a rather sad individual. He is somewhat cowed by the circumstances he finds himself in."
Mr Nuttall said Basit was fully aware of the impact on the victim and that she would have been frightened.
Sentencing, Judge Andrew Woolman told Basit his pre-sentence report showed some disturbing attitudes that he seemed to have.
He said: "The police are concerned about what you might do next and, to some extent, this court shares those concerns."
The judge added: "Had you been older when you committed the offence of rape, the sentence would have been much longer."

EXCLUSIVE: I'm told that town is tantalized by a package circulating with Darren Aronofsky directing Noah, an edgy re-telling of the Noah's Ark story. Aronofsky wrote a script that is getting a rewrite by John Logan. I've heard he wants $130 million to make it and that New Regency is eyeing a co-financing role. Suitors considering stepping up for the other half include Paramount and Fox, as well as Summit, I've heard. It was described to me as a big fantasy epic, and an opportunity for Aronofsky to create a world. He's very passionate about it and wants to make it next film, after dropping out of The Wolverine. Aronofsky's got more heat on him than ever after directing the spectacularly profitable Black Swan, which grossed $315 million worldwide on a $12 million budget. His move toward Noah comes after Aronofsky recently flirted with Exodus, the 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment-produced telling of the story of Moses, his defiance of the Pharoah and delivery of the Hebrews from enslavement. That script was written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage. Beyond an ill-advised morphing of the Noah's Ark story into the Universal spinoff comedy Evan Almighty, nobody has tried to tell the Noah's Ark story in as ambitious a manner as Aronofsky intends. Will a studio step up to help Aronofsky build this boat on as grand a scale as he desires? Stayed tuned. Aronofsky and Logan are repped by CAA.
Darren Aronofsky Shops Noah's Ark Epic
112 Comments
130 million? This sounds out of control already.
That's so we can REALLY feel the self-mutilation that Aronofsky knows and LOVES!
Half of the film is Noah talking to himself and digging splinters out of his hands with a dull spoon.
Can't wait!
"An edgy re-telling of the Noah's Ark story"?
The animals originally get on the ark three by three. But, well, some of them get hungry…
I don't know about "edgy", but if they tell the story of Noah as a historical character, as opposed to the traditional Christian biblical character, then it could certainly be controversial. There are many different historical texts, Gnostic and Arabic, that make a reference to "a man and his family that survived a great flood." Many religious scholars believe these texts are all referencing the same person and that there really was a great flood, probably a large tsunami, that washed away a lot of land. If they approach the story from that standpoint, as opposed to the fantastical version that has Noah building an ark large enough to fit 2 of every animal on it, then it could be interesting. The "edgy" reference might have to do with deviating from fundamental Christian doctrine, and we know there are a lot of people in this country that can't handle that and have a freak out. We'll see.
Say whaaaaaaaat?!
I want a big fucking boat with some big fucking waves!
Me too! I'm with you. I think it will be great! Can't wait to it!
A movie about Noah as a historical figure would make as much sense as a movie about the Easter Bunny as a historical figure. Because the likelihood of a man who built an ark and then fit every animal IN THE WORLD(!!!) on it and they all survived while the oceans rose above the highest mountains (where did the water go???) is about as believable as a bunny going around the world and delivering chocolate eggs to all the kids.
Try reading comments before responding to them.
The man clearly said that there are historical documents referring to a "man who built an ark during a great flood" – which is very true – and then said that the film would NOT be the traditional Christian story from the Bible.
Outside of an Islamic society, the US is the MOST religious society on the planet… so when stuff on a big media scale is outside of their comfort zone, it gets dicey.
Regardless of what one THINKS about Mel Gibson's THE PASSION he told the story as most "know it" since most people haven't read the text and then have an understanding of how brutal Romans were (take a look a Caliguila for a smattering of it).
Never too keen on DA's work; he has contempt for his characters…
You mean JEWISH TORAH character, right? Christianity wasn't invented for another several thousand years (around 150-200 C.E).
Both the Moses and the Noah story are bogus folklore. Who wants to see that? Make a movie about something that really happened.
There's always someone instigating for no good reason. Do you get off purposely deriding something even though the context doesn't call for it? This is simply an article about a movie, why bring in your collateral beliefs in a condescending way?
Yea Oscar tell a story that really happened kinda like Transformers or Pirates of the Caribbean right? idiot.
Yeah! As we know, it's not like people ever go to movies to see fiction. Look at the 20 most successful movies of all time, all of them are un-narrated documentaries. When will Hollywood learn that people go to the movies to learn and not for escapism!
Audrey, I would be very grateful if you'd tell me where you found the list of twenty best un-narrated documentaries. Am doing a pitch for one soon, and it could be invaluable. They're not easy movies to sell. Thanks, JD
Good deadpan, JD. I hope.

toats. fiction has no place in movies.
Sure, because every good movie is about something that actually happened.
Your comment is unneeded.You just wanted to let everyone know you were atheist.
"Bogus" folklore?As opposed to what?True folklore?
Get a life.Whether you believe it or not, it's an interesting story that would make a great film.
You're an idiot. This isn't the documentary forum.
Oh boy. Oscar. I would like to respond to your unusual post in so many ways, but I think I'll stick to fact and diplomacy with the hope that you'll learn from this experience.
Current W.W.B.O. for another movie I'm certain you would consider "bogus folklore", THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, is $611,899,420.
Thank you for playing…
Oscar, in case you didn't get the message, everyone thinks your comment was stupid. Please think before you post again.
Oscar, could you be any more of a douche? For one, just to break it to you, Star Wars isn't based on real life (it's a bummer, I know). Two, you don't actually know that this never happened. Many people (myself among them) do believe it happened. But whether you do or you don't doesn't matter. What matters is that the story could make an excellent movie.
like Star Wars–or something.
Bc black swan really happened……….
"Make a movie about something that really happened."
Right. So you don't see ANY movies – ever – unless they're based on true stories?
This film will invert Aronofsky's typical theme – psychological implosion – if the world around this guy literally goes to hell. But the one person focus sounds right for him.
I am mildly intrigued – but how to address the God bit? and allegorical comparisons to recent events like Katrina or several tsunamis?
This town has completely lost it's marbles.
Who wants an "edgy" retelling of some fairy tale?
Um. Apparently you've missed the last 100 years of cinema, considering that pretty much 75% of every film made in the last century are "edgy re-tellings of fairy tales".
Remember, for every successful film of his… there's been a poorly received one. And to be honest, though I dig Aronofsky, I think he just got lucky with people catching on to Black Swan, to folks embracing it. Don't get me wrong, it's phenomenal, but it's off-putting to many, it's odd, and it's far from mainstream. Requiem was intense, beautiful, bold, but not a "hit" by any means. PI was in the same category, and as for that Hugh Jackman flick, well, no. Then there's Black Swan, and now this… for $130 mill? C'mooooooooooooon……………….. studios really throwing that much at 'em to do whatever he wants?! Wow. They really delude themselves into thinking there's no creativity out there other than whoever gets nominated for an award, and the studios also by into who is "cool in town". Yeah, you all know what I mean. Saying you have Aronofsky sounds great at a lunch, but you gotta make sure it carries weight at the box office, and truth is Black Swan was a surprise, not an expectation…
Actually, "Pi" was one of the most profitable films of all time when you compare budget to total gross.
Requiem for a Dream must have done huge DVD sales since pretty much everyone I ever met in college had a copy, even non-film nerds.
The Fountain was indeed a big loser, though I personally think it's a masterpiece.
The Wrestler made money and was very well received.
Black Swan was Fox's highest grossing release of 2010.
So, other than The Fountain, where are Aronofsky's "misses?"
Um. Apparently you've never seen ANY Aranofsky movies but "The Fountain".
"Pi" – huge profit, mega-success critically, cult classic.
"Requiem for a Dream" – mega-success critically, huge profit for its budget, huge DVD-sales, cult classic – everyone's seen it.
"The Wrestler" – huge profit, mega-success critically, nominated for Best Picture, cult classic.
"Black Swan" – made $315 million on a $12 mil budget, Fox's biggest grossing pic of 2010, Best Actress winner, nominated for Best Picture.
The ONLY film Aranofsky's made that could be called "poorly received" was "The Fountain" – and even that only got MIXED reviews – and yes, failed at the box office, but is now considered a cult classic by many film geeks for its imagery alone.
So out of FIVE films, only ONE has been "poorly received" – and even that one not so much.
So tell us, why do you write comments about things you don't even have the courtesy to research?
Aronofsky + Logan = Match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, I'm a rational human being and so I know that heaven does not exist — nor do magical arks — which means that this film must be intended for people on this planet who still believe in almighty ghosts. How sad is that?
Yes, "magical arks" multiple flying, sparkly, genie arks…just like it was described in the Bible.
"I'm a rational human being so I KNOW heaven does not exist" — Really? You know it for a fact? That's rational to you, to say you know something without the ability to prove it? Atheists are just as hypocritical and full of their own self-soothing as right wing fundy's.
I personally can't wait to see a lot of over the shoulder, hand-held shots of Noah walking around on an ark.
ZING! Point for BC / Zero for "Rational" Human. Sorry RH, you lose.
Not sad. Don't feel for us. bb
John Logan is a genius. His script for the next Bond film is as good as if Ian Fleming himself wrote it. After the mess that was Quantum of Solace, he's fixed the series. Whoever buys the Noah script now is going to be getting a bargain because two years from now he's going to be the worlds hottest screenwriter.
Feels sorry for Oscar :( Far from folklore to most of the world.
This sounds like one of the most exciting projects I have heard in a long time. The world's Faith on the silver screen with a proper budget.
I vote Jeff Bridges for Noah.
Discovery, who else in Hollywood do you think would buy an historical story – based on "a true story"? There must be others who would be attracted to it and, as one about to bring one to market, I'd sure love to know your thoughts about the market. Thanks, JD
Huh? I am sorry I do not understand your question.
I simply think it's going to be an awesome movie with a great director.
Also was just saying to me it is not "Folklore" from what the gentlemen said above. To me the Bible is a way of life.
I think every kind of movie has a place in some market. I believe you misinterpreted my statement.
Best of luck on your film
I'm sure if Fox buys it, the animals in the Ark will talk…
Oscar, do you know that movies are not real? They are fiction. Even documentaries are edited, with magical lighting, and sound recording and sometimes bits and pieces of animation and bogus facts and people stating inaccuracies. Nothing is real in the movies. And Exodus and Noah's Ark are as real as your history books, or msn or fox news.
Do you really think Noah's Ark happened? Even the most far-out Christians I know at least have the sense to take it metaphorically.
Matt, I don't think you know many real Christians. Yes, I am a Christian and yes, I take the story literally.
I live in Western Europe – the only religious extremists left here are Muslims. I'd consider taking all the Bible literally very extremist indeed.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, IT REALLLY HAPPENED!!! So did Jack and the Beanstock, Snow white and the 7 dwarfs, Alladin's Genie, and Beauty and the Beast.
They just didn't have enough room in the Bible to fit all those TRUE stories.
Yes you must not know many Christians.
I take Noah's Ark very literal.
How else you think Fossils are spread all over the world, and fish bones on top on mountains?
Even a lot of scientists agree that there had to been a world wide flood at some point.
So Noah's Ark crashed and spread all of the creatures across the world? Not I get it…
You must be insane. HAve you ever really thought about how this would work? The number of vertebrate species on Earth (excluded fish) is 30,000. And I'm not counting insects. How do you put 60,000 different animals and all the food they need on a freaking boat? How big should that thing be?
And some creationists even think that dinosaurs were there too!
Or maybe it's just a magical boat.
Freakin' insane.
I wonder how Arofnosky is going to show Noah's slow descent into madness and eventual self destruction, since all his movies are only about that. I also like the idea of creating a 'world' which is basically a lot of water and a stinking boat floating on it. Ha!
That's sad.
To Oscar—not everyone believes that Noah's and Moses' TRUE stories never happened. Actually Noah indefinitely did because archaeologist have said they have found the original Ark high up in the mountains of Asia. There are pics to prove that. But anyway I won't argue about that with you religious confrontation isn't good on either side, just thought you should know that. Darren doing either of the films would be interesting to see. I would actually like to see a more edgier look at the story.
Oh? There's pictures to prove there was a boat that had two of EVERY fucking animal in the whole world? Where can I see these pictures?
Who would want to see a movie about something that didn't really happen? Uh, the dude's Black Swan wasn't a true story friend and if you read the above story, you'll learn it made more than $300 million. As for the story of Noah being "bogus folklore"- you might not appreciate it, but the Bible has been respected as literature for hundreds of years, treated as Holy for longer than that, and the Old Testament even longer than that. So your "bogus folklore" story has inspired and entertained and educated (faith, courage, etc) more people in more corners of the world than you can imagine. If it helps you grasp who might want to see it, call it a prequel to The Passion–or The Ten Commandments–that might get it a summer launch (though I think they should shoot for a November release).
I'm curious, David; why do you think a November release would be best? JD
This has "box office disaster" written all over it. Noah's ark is a ridiculous fable, and completely unbelievable today. And everyone knows the reason why Black Swan made $300m was because of the lesbian scene. Otherwise a movie anout ballerinas…pffft.
A 'ridiculous fable' as opposed to the realistic depiction of lions and mice in "The Lion and the Mouse" which is more believable today than when it was written.
Besides your ridiculous statement about why Black Swan made 300 million who uses "pffft"? Did you just give a low five to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?
Not to red states.
John Huston told the story of Noah in a fairly serious manner in his movie, THE BIBLE.
BTW, what is an "edgy" retelling of Noah? Soap Opera about his bickering family? Incest? (Hmmmm, that would be too European). No – I've got it! Aronofsky will aim to be "visually dazzling" and it will be "in the vein of STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!"
I'm going to reserve my seat through MovieFone right now!!
Actually, the incest bit would be straight out of the Torah scrolls.
What would be an edgy retelling? Oh, I don't know. Maybe depicting Noah ignoring the cries of drowning mothers and children who are begging to be brought aboard. Telling the story literally might be considered edgy. Because, you know, back then even the two year olds were wicked pervs.
Yeah, because Lord of the Rings was such a waste of time…nobody wants to see "folklore"…non-fiction only please.
This sounds like "The Fountain 2" to me.
The only thing worse than a bad comedy about Noah's Ark would be a movie that treated this fairy tale as a serious subject. At least you're supposed to laugh at the former…
What about the Noah's Ark story (or the Bible in general) upsets you so much? If you don't believe in it, then fine. Treat this movie and its subject matter like the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. Why would it be so bad to make a serious movie about this "fairy tale" in the vein of other fictional movies like the ones mentioned?
Wow I hope they can pull it off. If they follow the scripture it should truly be and epic film!
I stopped believing in fairy tales a long time ago.
I you are going to do an edgy retelling of the story, why not use the original source material that was already edgy? The Epic of Gilgamesh was way edgier and predated the Noah's Ark fairy tale. It also had a radically different reason for both the flood and the moral of the story at the end.
Gligamesh would actually be worth making as a film.
Wow, all the atheists are really getting up in arms about this. You can make a movie about robots, or super-heroes, or pirates, or aliens, or whatever, but don't you DARE make a movie about a Bible story, because that's just silly. It cracks me up how threatened you all seem to be by this.
Maybe because movies about pirates or robots are not propaganda. Nobody forces you to believe Transformers are actually really on Earth. Religious zealots on the other hand will force you to believe the most insane stories.
People don't base their lives and belief systems on fairy tales like robots, superheroes, pirates, or aliens.
BIG difference.
Nobody is threatened. It's just sad that people literally believe a man put two of every animal on the entire planet on a single boat and they all co-existed for forty days. Or, is that just another work of God? I guess I'm ignorant, huh?
In this 'edgy' retelling, the Ark will encounter a huge tsunami wave like Poseidon, be attacked by Bluebeard and the Kracken, and finally sink to the depths of the ocean like Titanic.
Also, Noah will have serious marital problems when he has an affair with a goat.
Considering more of the world is non-christian than is, no, it's not seen as anything but a myth by most people on the planet.
True there are more people that say they aren't christians than people that say they are but that doesn't account for near the number of people that believe this story. Noah is a literal character in Genesis which is also a part of the christian bible and the quran. These all directly reference Noah and follow the same story. The number of people that align themselves as either christians, jew, or muslims are abut 5 of the nearly 7 billion people on earth.
I don't think there needs to be a majority to make a film about it. As with some of the other commenters I wonder why so many people feel defensive or angry about this movie.
The story of Noah is NOT a Christian story. Noah and his story is in the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur'an. Since the vast majority of people on the planet are either Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, most people accept the story as true.
Actually this story even predates the Torah. The original story of Noah, the ark, and the great flood first appears in the Babylonian "Epic of Gilgamesh." There are some differences in the story, but many of the details are there. I don't think that there was a worldwide flood, and I don't think someone loaded two of every animal, but I do think that there was a catastrophic flood in the Mediterranean/Middle East several thousand years ago. There are too many legends/myths about a great flood from this area to discount the possibility entirely.

The secret gift my MS is giving me for Christmas
It's (expletive) dark in this (further expletive) town!!!
That's the standard greeting I give each morning in Seattle from the return of Standard Time to the Winter Solstice. Something about that sudden hour shift coupled with the steady drain of sunlight from my every day seems to bring on the darker facet of Trevis' humor.
This Friday morning, as I finally see some daylight, I have to say I'm feeling a bit of a mood shift.
I've raised the roman blinds in front of my desk and am looking out on a cold, gray morning – a morning that could easily depress – but I'm feeling pretty good about it.
My feet are bare, but toasty, as I wiggle my toes near the baseboard heater under my desk. That I can feel the warmth and that I can move those little guys is something I no longer take for granted.
I've found the 24/7 holiday music station on the radio and lighted the fairy lights in the garland around the room. I've a French press of coffee with me, and Sadie is breaking half dozen-odd rules sleeping in the family tartan throw on the Italian leather sofa.
The first gray light of dawn gives way to a dry, heather-colored light that is at once cool yet warming.
I'm feeling the cosign curve of my energy slide rapidly now; each day Novantrone drains my energy a little more for 10-12 days post treatment. At least I can plan for this kind of fatigue. I'm expecting to return to my old piss-and-vinegar self by next Tuesday.
Today, I'll finish this post and my cup of joe, I'll put on some thick socks to keep this artificial ardency in…I might even join Sadie for a little nap.
Funny, how MS takes so much from us and gives us things we don't want. For me, the largess of multiple sclerosis includes time; unwanted, excess and sometimes demoralizing time. It's time I wish I could be working or doing or giving…or even awake.
Being as I have little verve to do much else with that time today, I'm going to use it to simply be – to be in the moment, to be present, to be aware of all the wonders I can take in at once.
I'd rather not have this kind of time; I'd rather be an uber-productive member of the great big, spinning world. But, today MS won't let me do what I want. I guess it's my job today to make sure MS doesn't stop me from being who I want to be.
So, in this season of gift giving, Trevis is going to accept this down time as a (very) backhanded gift and I'm going to use it to do what I need to, not what I want to – rest.
Have you ever seen even the slightest glint of silver on the lining of your MS cloud?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Archinect - News 2017-08-23T04:29:36-04:00 https://archinect.com/news/article/62274079/op-ed-architect-magazine-finally-found-its-voice Op-Ed: Architect Magazine Finally Found its Voice Keith Zawistowski 2012-11-28T03:04:00-05:00 >2012-12-03T19:04:29-05:00
 I recently received my November Issue of Architect and for the first time since the blogs caused us all to begin devouring images at warp speed and sent print media into a battle for survival, I actually "read" an architecture magazine. It was truly satisfying.

 From its inception, the idea behind Architect was clear; its title was the proof. Architectural Record had lost touch. It had become a glossy product placement catalog, serving its advertisers but increasingly bereft of intellectual rigor. Architect promised to peel back the facade of idealized pre-occupancy images and to share the stories of the people who make architecture: to deliver us process and ideas. The bar was high and so were many of our expectations. Perhaps that is why I have been so underwhelmed as Architect has struggled for nearly 7 years to find a voice. The magazine has taken us on a journey from in-depth interviews of firms producing irrelevant projects, to garnish cartoony graphics that distracted from...

Gotta weigh in again. The reason I look at a merge seriously is because I see the Bills experiment in T.O. as a slippery slope and don't like what could come of it if narrow minded people blindly support the process it's starting.
If the NFL relocated/expanded into Toronto I think it sounds the death knell for the Argonauts. Unless it's in a Leaf's jersey or waves the stars and stripes, Torontonians won't support it. The exception has always been the Argos, but I don't think there are enough football fans there to support two teams in two leagues. Period.
Kill the Argos and you either kill or maim the CFL and I don't like either scenario. If the NFL comes to Canada it needs to work with the CFL to keep good quality pro football in the whole of the country or stay the hell out altogether. Despite what a bunch of pigheaded arrogant blowhards seem to think, the talent level is actually pretty good, albeit different.
If I had my way, the CFL would expand into the maritimes, Quebec City and Kitchener/Waterloo and re-establish a franchise in Ottawa. Get some more revenue from the new cities and see if corporate Canada can't start waving the flag.
Me and my buddies figured the NFL is probably inevitable so we looked at a way to merge the two in a way that would actually improve both versions by eliminating the garbage rules. Yeah, it would take years to work out the bugs, and yes it would hit the pocketbooks of a bunch of overpaid players and team owners, but you gotta know the NFLPA would drool at the prospect of adding 400 new players to its membership. I`m betting they`d be onside if nothing else.
Packers 27, Roughriders 18
Patriots 84, Tigercats 3
Stampeders 21, Eagles 21 (had to throw that one in)

Victoria Beckham was in the stands with her four kids, Harper, Romeo, Cruz, and Brooklyn, Saturday to watch David Beckham take the field in Paris. Along with his new squad Paris Saint-Germain, David took on the visiting team from Nancy and won two to one. David didn't start this time around, but he was a substitute toward the end. The show belonged to his teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored both goals.
Victoria and the children went to Paris for the weekend after spending much of last week at their home in London. They'll likely have returned already in order to get ready for school today, but first, some celebrating was in store — yesterday was Mother's Day in the UK!

Previous spotlight: Class of 1957
Class of 1957 rocks on
Three members of the class of 1957, joined by one inanimate representative, were honored at the annual alumni reunion in September. Ann (Maxwell) Tremarello of Fairbanks, B.L. "Nick" Hackenberger of Oregon and Delores (Kolshus) Nerland of Arizona were treated to a surprise visit from the Tradition Stone.
"It was really special to be part of the same celebration honoring Bill Stroecker and the other award winners," said Ann Tremarello. Tremarello was part of the Tradition Stone funeral in 1957; she likes to tell people that she is in the famous 1957 Tradition Stone photo, just out of the picture to the left.
The reunion included tours of several campus hot spots and was highlighted by the annual awards luncheon. Lifelong Fairbanksan and local philanthropist Bill Stroecker was presented with the 2007 Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Born in Fairbanks in 1920, Stroecker graduated from the New Mexico Military Institute in 1940 and earned a business degree from UAF in 1942. He served in the military during World War II and for the past 60 years has held numerous positions at Key Bank and its predecessor, First National Bank. Though retired, Stroecker still serves as an advisor and keeps an office at the bank.
"[Stroecker] is an exceptional human being. He gives of himself freely and is a wonderful role model," said Jo Heckman, '79, '85, who nominated Stroecker for the award.
Along with a half-century of professional accomplishments, Stroecker is well known for his volunteer and philanthropic efforts in the Fairbanks community and beyond. He has served on the board of directors for the Alaska Goldpanners for more than four decades, and is a longtime board member of the Greater Fairbanks Community Hospital Foundation and the Friends of the UA Museum. He serves as co-trustee for the Marion Stroecker Weeks Foundation, and has received numerous community awards in recent years.
"When I first heard about this, I thought, 'but I haven't done anything!'" Stroecker said. He regaled the crowd with anecdotes about his time at the university and said how thankful he is to have lived all these years in Fairbanks. When he graduated from UAF in 1942, the population of Fairbanks equaled the current population of the university, " … but there is still no class distinction here, and that's the way it should be."
The Distinguished Alumnus Award was first given in 1962 and recognizes service to UAF, business or professional accomplishment, and distinguished human service.
The 2007 Alumni Achievement Awards for Business and Professional Excellence went to Kelly Drew, '81, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UAF; and Thaddeus Dumas, '67, '72, a longtime K-12 educator and assistant dean for diversity at the University of Louisville.
The Alumni Achievement Award for University Support was awarded to Sue McHenry, '70, '76. McHenry is an advisor with UAF's Rural Student Services. Recently retired Alaska Chamber Chorale director and UAF instructor Marvilla Davis, '87, received the Alumni Achievement Award for Community Support.
Nevada Bovee, '96, vice president of marketing at Spirit of Alaska Federal Credit Union, was presented with the William R. Cashen Service Award, recognizing outstanding service to the alumni association.
The association also made its first presentation of a new award, the Lenhart J.H. Grothe Resources Award. The award -- which posthumously honors an alumnus who made significant contributions to the fields of resource, mining or agriculture -- was given to tin miner Lenhart Grothe, '59. Grothe's son and grandson traveled from Soldotna, Alaska, to accept the award on his behalf.

Despite the best intentions of doing something memorable to start the new year, I'll probably be awakened by the sounds of other people greeting 2013.
For me and millions of other non-participants, the stroke of 12 Monday night will be an anti climax, but I'm glad there are people who find it necessary to mark the arrival of a new year.
New Year's Eve is for the young or resilient. Drinking's not the thing, anymore. Staying up until midnight is what I find hard.
My generation, people born as World War II was ending, like to party but, if memory serves, we didn't wait until 9 p.m. to start. If you don't start New Year's Eve until 9 or 10, midnight's easily attainable.
Much of the generation that followed what television journalist Tom Brokaw called "The Greatest Generation" will be going to bed when the fireworks start going off Monday night.
New Year's Eve 19 years ago, a photographer and I accompanied Martin Schreiber on the 73-year-old retired electrical engineer's walk through the streets of Zeeland Place off Perkins Road.
For years, Schreiber had walked the streets of his neighborhood on New Year's Eve playing the bagpipes.
The piper's following grew to a couple of hundred people who greeted him from their front yards or followed him down the street.
"That last year, we probably should have had a parade permit," he said in a telephone conversation the other night.
Listening to Schreiber had become such a tradition by the time I met him that some couples made it a point of being in bed to listen as Schreiber marched past, pipes blaring.
Other neighbors stepped away from parties to line the streets, saluting the midnight piper. Schreiber didn't drink, but one New Year's Eve he accepted a neighbor's invitation to step inside to hear the man's dog sing.
When Schreiber began marching to his own music in the mid-1970s, he liked playing at Halloween, too.
"See, he's playing the bagpipes," Schreiber heard a father tell a little girl one Halloween.
"She insisted it was the ice cream man," Schreiber said.
Schreiber made his last Baton Rouge New Year's Eve march three years ago at age 89. He turns 92 today in Silver City, N.M., where he lives with his daughter, Ramona, and son-in-law, Steve.
I asked Schreiber if he still plays the pipes.
"I've got them with me," he said, "but we're at 6,000 feet altitude here. I was running out of wind at 50 feet."
Here's to the people who make the holidays memorable and to the people who struggle at this time of year. Maybe, we make too much of Christmas and New Year's, but I think not.
We shouldn't have to set aside a time to celebrate living with one another in harmony, but we celebrate other things far less important.
Happy New Year. May you welcome the first day of the new year with hope and joy.

WESTLAND, Mich. - A Westland father, who pleaded guilty to the beating death of his infant son, was sentenced in a Wayne County Court on Tuesday.
Judge Edward Ewell ordered Josh Wilson to spend 27 to 60 years in prison for his crime.
Wilson and his girlfriend Kelli Worth-McBride were both charged after 3-month-old Joshua Jr. died in December.
Police say the infant had been severely beaten. He was bruised from head to toe with several broken bones. Investigators say Joshua died from blunt force trauma to his chest.
Wilson had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on April 23.
~3-month-old Joshua~
Family members say both parents suffer from mental issues and that Child Protective Services had been working with the family since Joshua's birth.
Worth-McBride was referred for a competency exam.

A photograph of a war veteran who rode a tricycle despite having no hands has sparked memories and has led to his identification.
No date or name remained with the photograph from the Wharfedale Observer archives which appeared in last week's paper.
But the veteran has now been identified as Brian Wade, from Hawksworth, who wrote poetry under the the pen name 'The Hawk.'
Aireborough Historical Society archivist Carlo Harrison said: "I think that this chap was a first world war veteran who lost his hands as a result of war injuries and was well known over quite an area for his charity work."
A picture caption which appeared in the Wharfedale Observer after his death read: "Mr Brian Wade of Hawksworth, better known locally under his pen name "The Hawk" riding his specially adapted tricycle on which he met his death in a road accident at Lancaster last week-end."
The photograph was taken by Gilbert Scott, of Guiseley.
Mr Wade was a familiar sight to people living in Otley and Aireborough as he rode around the area.
A 92-year-old Otley woman Mrs Nora Hollings remembers regularly seeing him riding around the town in the years following the Second World War.
Her daughter Diane Whiteside said: "My mum is 92 and she remembers seeing him riding his bike. She recognised him right away and she believes he was nicknamed The Hawk. "
Eighty-year-old Alec Jackson, from Menston, also remembers seeing The Hawk, who he believes was still riding around in the 1950s.
"I remember very well seeing him when I was a little boy," he said. "He had a hook on his arm and was a bit of a frightening character to a young lad."
"He used to write poems for the Wharfedale and Airedale Observer under the name The Hawk.
"He was a wonderful poet."
Mr Jackson, who believes Mr Wade lived in the old forge, in Hawksworth, added: "It was lovely to see the photograph. It brought back a lot of memories."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/3/2013 (1618 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I don't have much experience coaching, but I have spent a lot of time being coached. If there is one thing I learned while playing for eight different head coaches, it is the idea of keeping a 'consistent coaching environment' is a complete fallacy.
While at a speaking event Friday in Brandon, I was asked, of all the head coaches I worked for, who was my favourite and why? I immediately knew the answer would be Dave Ritchie, but it took me longer to figure out the reasons.
The easy explanation is that Ritchie was the coach that I won the most games with, so I naturally had the most positive experiences with him. Yet the underlying reason was I respected the way and style he coached.
Most coaches I've worked with feel that an even-keeled workplace, one that never got too loose after a win, or never got too morbid after a loss, was the way to go, and I could not disagree more.
While I understand the thought process of a stable and uniform schedule and learning forum, I never liked the message it sent. Whether you win by 50 or lose by 50, your schedule, your practice, your meetings with your coaches -- for the most part -- are exactly the same from one week to another.
Under Ritchie, team performance dictated the environment. When we won, we could exhale a bit. We could joke a little more with him, have a little more fun at practice, or at least until he started getting uptight and fretting whether we were taking our next opponent seriously enough.
Yet as jovial as the weeks could be when we were in the middle of a four-, five-, or 12-game winning streak, when we did lose, and especially when we lost big, our world was turned upside down and inside out. It was as abrupt as being doused from behind by a Gatorade shower.
It would start in the locker-room immediately after the game. He would threaten that he better not see anybody laughing, or with a smile on their face, or hear about us going out drinking until the wee hours, during the days after a loss.
His mood was so sullied by defeat, that on a bus ride back to Winnipeg after a Labour Day loss -- which thankfully, back then, didn't happen too often -- the players would almost riot trying to get on the bus he wasn't on. Or in the airport, we would speak in hushed whispers, careful not to be overheard, wincing about what lay in store when we got back to Winnipeg.
He could be so irate after a loss, we would head straight to practice once the plane touched down, union rules, fatigue and injuries be damned. The practice script would change: Every mistake would result in a run around the goal posts, and for whatever reason he decided had cost us the game, the remedy would be drilled into us like a dentist with an itchy trigger finger.
These days, bye-week schedules are handed out to players months in advance. With Ritchie, you would be lucky to get it the week before, because he didn't want you thinking about it. And, if you were losing going into the bye week, he would schedule practice in the middle of it, because, "you need to get better."
Losing was unpleasant, it was inconvenient, and it could be exceedingly harsh. But all you had to do to make it stop was win.
In the Ritchie world of pro football, you were the author of your environment. We were conditioned to hate losing not only for the obvious consequences in pro sports, but because we didn't know or want to know what hell would be in store for us that week.
The only time he ever granted us a reprieve for losing, and I remember this vividly, was when we lost in Toronto by two points, after we had won 12 consecutive. He stood in front of us at our team meeting, and told us how proud he was of what we had accomplished. The funny thing was, until he said that, we all expected to be punished even though we had tied an all-time, now 100-year-old, CFL record. His leniency on this singular occasion blew us away.
Losing a game would ruin your football experience under Dave Ritchie's command. It wasn't fun to go through it, but it drove the point home, and it would be the one lesson I would want to leave with a head coach entering his second season of command.

A cough is a sudden expulsion of air from the lungs. Its purpose is usually to clear secretions and inhaled foreign substances from the lungs and respiratory tract.
There are different types of cough:
An acute cough is usually caused by an infection, such as a
or the
flu. In some cases, an acute cough can be the sign of other conditions, such as:
Subacute cough is often a cough that follows a respiratory infection. It can also be caused by exposure to irritants or to anything that can cause chronic cough.
A chronic cough has many causes. Common examples include:
Factors that may increase your risk of developing a cough include:
is a major risk factor for serious conditions linked to chronic cough, including
lung cancer
A cough can be a symptom of an underlying condition.
Coughs can be productive or dry. You may find that your cough is worse when waking up and during the night while lying down.
Call your doctor if you have:
Call for medical help or go to the emergency room right away if you have cough with:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Acute cough is usually diagnosed by its accompanying symptoms.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your lung function and capacity may be tested. This can be done with pulmonary function tests.
The best treatment for a cough is to treat the underlying condition.
There are many over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold products available. These include decongestants, expectorants, antihistamines, and antitussives.
Cough and cold medications should not be used in children under 2 years old, and they are not recommended in children under 4 years old. The US Food and Drug Administration has not completed its review regarding the safety of over-the-counter cough and cold medications in children ages 2-11 years. Rare, but serious side effects have been reported.
Consider putting a steam vaporizer or cool-mist humidifier in your room. This type of moisture therapy may help to make secretions looser and easier to cough up.

A MURDER manhunt was last night continuing following the killing of a guest-house landlady in East Yorkshire.
Humberside Police and other forces are searching for John Heald, who they described as dangerous and a suspect in the murder of Bei Carter.
Yesterday, the senior investigating officer appealed directly to Heald to hand himself in to police, as the search enters its fourth day.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Baldwin, said: "I want to take this opportunity to appeal directly to John Heald.
"John, I know you were staying at the Morayland Guest House in Bridlington last Friday, the night Bei Carter was killed. I need to talk to you about that. I know you left Bridlington soon after the murder and have been back to South Yorkshire.
It is now time for you to hand yourself in and speak to me about what happened. You need to know that you will be treated professionally and fairly by me and given the opportunity to speak to a legal advisor. This situation is not going to go away, I am asking you John to do the right thing and hand yourself in."
Mrs Carter, 49, was landlady of the Morayland Hotel, in Marshall Avenue, Bridlington, which she ran with her husband Terry.
Sightings of Heald have been reported in South Yorkshire, including Rotherham and Mexborough, and residents have been urged not to approach him, but to contact police immediately.
Anyone with information should phone the Major Incident Room on 01377 208989 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, and sightings of Heald can be reported on 999.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Were the U. S. any other country, its bonds would have long ago been downgraded to junk.The national debt is careening out of control and the underlying economy appears unable to support the taxes necessary to stabilize the amount owed. The political class has sunk into tragic dysfunction, incapable of civil discourse or creative thinking to address these problems. In 2007, the last full year before the financial crisis, the federal deficit was only $161 billion but since, spending on health care, Social Security and other entitlements have exploded -- the annual budget gap has exceeded $1 trillion for five years. Raising everyone's taxes by 25% would not slice the budget gap in half and prove self-defeating. As in Greece and Spain, recession and unemployment would follow, significantly shrinking the economy and new revenue raised. Policies to improve access to health care, reduce energy dependence and environmental emissions, and protect Americans from reckless oil rigs, bankers and the like, though noble in the eyes of President Obama, have taken a heavy toll on growth. In the wake of a terrible recession, the economy should be rebounding at a 4% or 5% annual pace, but instead, slogs along at about half that rate. Unemployment remains painfully high and that's the root cause of the nation's budget woes -- too few Americans working and paying taxes to support their government. Faced with these realities, President Obama pretends they don't exist. In budget talks with Speaker Boehner he declared the country does not have a spending problem -- as if the federal government could indefinitely spend 50% more than it collects in taxes. When industry leaders complain about burdensome regulations impeding investment and growth, his lieutenants exclaim those are necessary and can be managed. American businesses do cope -- by shipping jobs to China. Now, the president wants to raise the debt ceiling without negotiating a plan with Congressional Republicans to bring federal deficits under control. Past GOP efforts to curb spending by shutting down the government have ended badly, and the president will likely get his way. Then Fitch and Moody's will join Standard and Poor's in stripping U.S. bonds of their triple-A rating, but don't expect any more than an indignant response from President Obama.

If so, you may wanna shampoo ya carpet and if she's got her homegurl with her, hide your condoms. A triplett is one of the greatest friends you'll probably come across in your lifetime.

Kanye West crashed the stage of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen yesterday when he lost Best Video to Justice and Simian's "We Are Your Friends." He started going off on a rant about why he should've won for his video "Touch The Sky," saying: "It cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons. If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you, but hell, man." And in a post-show press conference he also admitted:
"I haven't seen [the Justice vs. Simian video]. Possibly it could have been quite good, but no way better than 'Touch the Sky'. That is complete bullshit. I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV. It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a helicopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award."
Personally, I think my music video should've won that award. Sure, all I did was digitally edit together three minutes of Jessica Alba making out with Alessandra Ambrosio while I sang 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' in the background, but if you saw it you'd agree I should've won. You'd also agree that I'm the greatest director of our generation and should be given an honorary Nobel Prize for being awesome.

Gang Prevention Summit
On Friday, Feb. 25, 2006, community groups, elected officials and county government employees came together to discuss gang prevention, intervention and suppression. Sponsored by the Fairfax County Council on Gang Prevention, the summit focused on coordinating existing gang prevention and intervention efforts between county government, schools and community groups.

More than 300 individuals registered for the Gang Prevention Summit.
Previous Acting Gang Prevention Coordinator Captain
Amy Lubas and her husband, Lt. Colonel David Lubas, Sheriff's Office.
Gary McCollum (r) of Cox Communications presented a
check for $3 million to Chairman Gerald Connolly as members

for gang prevention efforts in the county and to
expand the Boys & Girls Club.
One of the five workshops which included Opportunities
Provision, Suppression, Organizational Change and
Development, Community Mobilization and Social Intervention.
