Randomness...I finally finished the backdrops for my son's production of "The Jungle Book". All seemed to be running along smoothly until it was time for transport. My smallish SUV wasn't big enough so I had to recruit a neighbor with a mammoth Expedition.
I weasled my way into an Etsy treasury this week called "We Are Family". That was cool.
I recently saw this T-Mobile commercial and for some reason it caused a lump in my throat. Many songs and displays of fellowship bring out that reaction in me. I discovered that it is something Waterstone and I have in common - hymns, Christmas songs, and patriotic songs make us cry. Now, a Christmas song IN church??? The National Anthem at a football game??? Forget about it, let the waterworks begin!
Speaking of sing-alongs, yesterday was Mother's Day Tea at Kindergarten, and I got to be Queen for the Day - complete with a crown! The kids entertained us with several songs
Then served us a lovely snack of cookies, crackers and cheese
Then gave us lots of handmade gifts, including my crown, along with hugs and kisses. It was a pretty good day.
I have a fun idea for Mother's Day. If you can't be with your mom on that day, you could plan ahead and hide a gift for her in her house during an earlier visit. Make sure it's someplace she'd never look. Then you could hide clues around, starting under the computer printer. She could follow the clues to her gift. Yeah.
No, seriously, Mom...go check under the printer!
This caused me nightmares all night:

La tierra en manos del artesanado. Las posesiones agrarias de las familias artesanas valencianas (1370-1450)
Artisans in the late Middle Ages often owned an important amount of land in some European regions, despite it was not their main activity. There are constant references about it in the relatively abundant Valencian data. Nevertheless, this subject has aroused only a few detailed studies. In this article we have asked ourselves about the importance of those agrarian plots in the little workshops' domestic economies and in the social strategies of these families. To explain all those matters, we have studied some examples along the country: from the professionals of the little towns, to urban centres and also the artisans of the city of Valencia at the end of the 14th and during the 15th century.

To help parents and teens navigate the journey of pursuing a graduated driver's license (GDL), AAA Southern New England and the New Canaan Police Department are offering free, monthly community workshops at the department's headquarters at 174 South Ave. This month, the workshop, conducted by two New Canaan police officers, will be held Saturday, Feb. 9, from 10 to 11:30.
"Dare to Prepare," a 90-minute workshop aimed at 15- and 16-year-olds and their parents, covers the state's graduated driver's license (GDL) requirements, and what teens and parents must do to obtain a driver's permit and later, a driver's license. It reviews distracted driving laws, focuses on the dangers of cell phone use, texting and drinking while driving, and provides interactive exercises to emphasize certain safety points.
Future workshops will be conducted on the second Saturday of the month.

A TINY dog hailed a hero after scaring off a mugger and protecting his owner has won a national award.
Piccolo, who stands at just ten inches tall, warded off an attacker as his owner Charlie Preston and 18-month-old daughter Lilly waited in a parked car in Eastleigh.
Now the brave dog has won a national competition to find the ultimate tale of unconditional love.
The spotlight was put firmly back on the chihuahua, who has won the national 'I Woof You' gong run by BorrowMyDoggy, who connect dog owners with local borrowers.
As reported, fearless Piccolo leapt on to Charlie's lap and started to bark loudly as the mugger tried to force open the door of the Vauxhall Corsa, parked in Magpie Lane, demanding that Ms Preston get out.
They were waiting for her partner Rob Smart as he picked up an item bought online for their home.
At the time Ms Preston, of Charles Close in Winchester, called Piccolo a "little hero".
She said: "God knows what could have happened if it wasn't for my dog, my daughter and I could have been in real trouble. If he had got me out of the car he could have hurt or abducted my baby girl."
The competition judges said they were inspired by the bravery of Piccolo last September after he caused the would-be attacker to run off.
BorrowMyDoggy have donated £500 to the Dogs Trust on behalf of Piccolo's owners, and he has also won doggie prizes and a photo shoot.

I'm always apprehensive when anyone other than a comedian or actor signs on to host Saturday Night Live, so word that Lady Gaga will be pulling double duty as host and musical guest next month has me raising an eyebrow. On one hand, she's a pretty fearless performer and fearless is a good thing when it comes to comedy and live television. On the other hand, well, you never know what you're going to get with Gaga, so at the very least, it's probably a safe bet to expect unpredictability. In other hosting news, SNL viewers also have The Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson to look forward to later next month.
NBC announced today that Lady Gaga will make her hosting debut on the long-running sketch comedy series in November, and she'll take her third turn as the musical guest for the episode. She served as the musical guest for an episode in 2009 and again in 2011.
Gaga also made a cameo during her second episode to appear in Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg's "3-Way" music video:
Lady Gaga's episode airs November 16, just days after her highly anticipated new album ARTPOP releases (November 11).
And then on November 23, The Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson will make his SNL hosting debut. Hutcherson's episode airs the day after the hugely anticipated sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, arrives in theaters (November 22). The first film, in which Hutcherson starred as Peeta Mellark, has been spoofed on Saturday Night Live before, but Hutcherson's episode seems like the perfect time to revisit the concept in some darkly humorous way. Catch the latest news and trailers for Catching Fire here.
The musical guest for Josh Hutcherson's episode will be HAIM.
Edward Norton was the last to host Saturday Night Live this season. You can watch the highlights from his episode here. Coming up next, we have Scandal star Kerry Washington to look forward to. She's set to host this Saturday night's episode. You can watch the promo for that here.
Saturday Night Live airs Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

Dine Out Vancouver preview whets people's appetites
Prepare to feast. The big Dine Out Vancouver Festival is approaching fast and we are spoiled for choices this year. From Jan. 17 to Feb. 2, more than 200 restaurants will be offering three-course (or more) fixed-price specials for $18, $28 or $38 per person. To create buzz and get people salivating about this 17-day culinary extravaganza, Tourism Vancouver hosted its annual preview party. Foodies of all shapes and sizes convened at Tourism Vancouver's Visitor Centre for a lively wine reception. The fun didn't stop there. Partygoers were divided into eight uniquely themed groups, loaded into vans and chauffeured around to various restaurants to sample some of the festival's food and wine offerings. The "Posh Nosh" group, for instance, sampled Oru, West and PiDGiN, while the "It's a Date" tour stopped at the Shangri-La, La Pentola and Raw Canvas. If the purpose was to whet our appetites for the upcoming foodie fiesta, mission accomplished. Bon appetite, fellow Vancouverites! For more event information, visit dineoutvancouver.com.
Concert with a cause
Some of this country's premier indie acts came together last Thursday for the annual #SingItFwd benefit concert at the Vogue Theatre. Hosted by the Peak's Tamara Stanners and Cory Ashworth, the evening played out like a beautiful showcase of our city's thriving music scene – think Mother Mother, Said the Whale and local rapper Shad, who was also this year's highly secretive "surprise" guest. Proceeds from the event go to Saint James Music Academy, which offers free music lessons to children living in low-income urban areas. For more info, visit sjma.ca.

In the rough-and-tumble New York real estate world, the commercial and nonprofit theatre communities have each had their share of turbulence. Some tales can be downright shocking: At a recent Columbia University conference on the future of the New York theatre, Julia C. Levy, the Roundabout Theatre Company's executive director for external affairs, talked about facing eviction seven times and surviving. The jaw-dropped crowd was amused and appalled.
Whether due to the recession or other factors, the last few weeks have revealed unusual activity in terms of theatres and real estate. One midtown building, known for its tapestry of theatres and rehearsal spaces, is refusing to renew leases for two nonprofits--and not because the owner wants to up the rent. Elsewhere in midtown, a hotel owner with no previous experience running a theatre is about to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a state-of-the-art performance complex.
Making Mint Move
When artistic director Jonathan Bank assumed the leadership of the Mint Theatre Company, the small nonprofit had fallen on fallow times, owing over $50,000 in back rent on its space at 311 W. 43rd St., a 1913 building once housing presses for Charles Scribner & Sons. The building's present owner, Juniper Associates--more specifically, Dick Berry, one of the partners--took a likening to Bank and did the unthinkable: He lowered the rent and cleared away the debt.
But the offer, of course, was not without preconditions.
"Dick had begun negotiations with Manhattan Theatre Club," Bank says, "and they needed two contiguous floors. So one day he called me into his office and asked if we could move to another space in the building. He added, 'I'll wipe out your back debt.' Who would even think about what to say? He believed that I was honest, he gave us a fresh start, and he gave us a chance to succeed."
Then the plot thickened.
"Three months later," Bank recalls, "I got another call from Dick, and he said he changed his mind. I think he had made some deal with MTC, and this time, we didn't have to move at all--and he kept the terms of the deal as they were. He's a really good guy."
The Mint has succeeded dramatically ever since. Specializing in "worthy, but neglected" plays, their revival of "The House of Mirth" by Edith Wharton and Clyde Fitch captured a great deal of critical attention, followed by raves for such productions as A.A. Milne's "Mr. Pim Passes By," and just last season, Harley Granville-Barker's "The Voysey Inheritance." Season to season, the Mint has grown financially and artistically--and had Berry booted Bank, it likely never would have happened.
This summer, Bank called Berry to discuss renewing the Mint's lease, up in August 2003.
"He said 'you have no future here, and it's not about the money'," Bank says. According to Berry, it's about the "proper use" of the building."When we bought this building," Berry says, "we wanted to give it a funky, downtown quality-architects, video, theatres. We did not want it modernized into this glossy, characterless building. We tried to keep the rents as low as we could, and attract the type of people who would be attracted to this type of building."
What happened, however, was not unlike what happens when bees sense honey. As the number of theatres in the building grew, the number of performances and productions grew as well. Tenants, naturally looking to defray expenses, began subleasing space in accordance with the terms of their lease.
All the resulting traffic, says Berry, added up to big headaches and mounting worries. "At first," he says, "if there was a show in the building on a Saturday or Sunday, it sort of blended in with what we were having in the building. Then there were a lot of people in the building, and we didn't know who they were. It began to scare the hell out of me. If something happened, we didn't have a crew there. People would go into the bathrooms and put paper towels down the toilet and there would be leaks." While Berry asks companies like the Mint to provide an on-premises staff member for sub-leasees--and while he acknowledges their compliance with that request--"[these companies] can't afford to take care of people causing leaks and smoking in the halls and stairwells.
Plus, just to deal with my paranoia, we brought guys in, security, on Friday night, on Saturday night. At least with MTC, they have a staff--when something is going on, somebody's there. If they have a show in rehearsal, we know whose coming, and it's their actors, not 70 audience members. As the owner of a building, I'm scared when a building is operating on a sort of free basis. I can't realistically check IDs or anything, and after 9/11, you have an additional liability, to let people in or not. I just can't feel comfortable with 90 or 180 people coming in at 7:30 pm."
Berry concedes that there's at least a little bit of economics to his decision, especially as Hell's Kitchen emerges as one of Manhattan's hottest redevelopment areas. "If all the rent was paid, all we did was break even," he says.
In addition to the Mint, The Directors Company's lease is up next summer, and they are already looking for a new home. The Melting Pot Theatre Company, which was subleasing space, has already moved uptown to the McGinn Cazale Theatre.
Despite his decision not to renew these leases, Berry considers himself a friend of the arts and a fair man. "I've always taken the position that we're not landlords, we're owners," he says. "We have a sense of stewardship. We like to be able to look our tenants in the eye and meet them as friends."
But does Bank still think of Berry as a friend? On the one hand, yes: He's indebted to him for helping out when the Mint's monies were low, and he extended an extraordinary set of breaks in the middle of boom times. Yet once the Mint and The Directors Company are gone, the only theatrical company left in the building will be MTC's mixture of offices and rehearsal rooms. In an ironic example of the endless, timeless New York battle between haves and have-nots, MTC may well be gearing up to take over the Biltmore Theatre, located just a few blocks to the north, at precisely the moment the Mint becomes homeless.
As he scours for space, Bank is determined to stay in midtown. "We have a strong core audience that might follow us somewhere inconvenient, but we really want to stay in the theatre district," he says. Bank and his board have also begun improving their efforts at getting grants--currently comprising about a third of their budget--as the search begins.
"The truth is, I'd rather not think about real estate and I'd rather not solve the real estate problem," he says. "But what can I do? It's his building."
Trumping Trump
It's possible, though by no means certain, that when Mint moves in mid-2003, a new nonprofit theatre complex on the East Side may be opening.
The project was simultaneously announced with the sale of the Hotel Delmonico, on Park Avenue and 59th Street, to Donald Trump for $115 million. Managing partner Elysabeth Kleinhans plans to take her share of the proceeds and build three theatres on the adjacent property, which she continues to control.
Kleinhans' mother, Sarah Korein, was a legendary New York real estate mogul. During the Depression, Kleinhans says, Korein acquired mortgage notes for defaulted properties at ten cents on the dollar, figuring the land would someday be worth far more than the purchase price. With the land under Lever House and One Penn Plaza just a few of her portfolio items, she was right.
Kleinhans, meanwhile, has already had several careers, having earned degrees in law and psychology, dabbled in interior design, and risen high in the world of library science. "I wanted to know a little about everything," Kleinhans says, "and I wanted to know a lot about a lot."
In the early '90s, Kleinhans was asked by her mother to manage the hotel, and she agreed. Soon after, she developed a keen interest in theatre, and though older than your average, new-to-New York thespian, took classes at HB Studio, started directing, and formed a nonprofit company, Animated Theatreworks, to focus her creative energies.
Ever since, she says, her dream has been to own a theatre. Having decided to put the hotel on the market, she then created a foundation, which will own the two-story, double-height property as well as the theatrical complex soon to be built inside it.
"We're shoehorning three theatres," Kleinhans says. "There's a 50-seat flexible black box for workshops, a 99-seat house for showcases, and a 199-seater for Off-Broadway work." Kleinhans is working with a team that includes architect Leo Modrcin on the complex.
"My feeling is, somebody wonderful is going to come into here and they're going to do a workshop production and it's going to be so great that they're going to move it to the 99 and there, I hope, it's going to be such a hit that they're going to move it downstairs. That's my dream," she says.
As for the notion that starting a nonprofit in a recession is nothing but an uphill climb, Kleinhans is philosophical. "You know, it's not such a great time to be in a profit-making enterprise either. Just try being in the hotel business after Sept. 11th."
To be sure, Kleinhans doesn't need to worry about funding-the proceeds from the hotel sale will largely fund the building costs, and perhaps some production costs as well. And while Animated Theatreworks has already done some professional work thus far--they mounted a recent showcase at the American Theatre of Actors last spring--Kleinhans plans to rent out the space to companies, especially those wishing to do new work.
"Plenty of companies are looking for space, and this will be the kind of space that's hard to come by," she says. "I'd rather rent to someone for a wonderful new play than something done all the time. What I'd also like to have is enough mainstream-ish stuff to attract people, and then they would come in and see that there's something else going on in this theatre over here or there, something that they wouldn't necessarily have known about, for only $15."
"I'm a very practical person," Kleinhans says. "I don't say I know everything, but I'll learn. I have all these really practical questions...like, how do I get cleaning services?"

Chicago Bears Fans Are Sooooo Angry They Drafted Mitch Trubisky
Please excuse Chicago Bears fans for thinking the sky is falling.
The Bears made some noise in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night when they surrendered four picks to the 49ers in exchange to move up one spot, which they used to select North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
To move up one spot?! pic.twitter.com/WioL2RcEcC
— Chris Wesseling (@ChrisWesseling) April 28, 2017
Yes, Chicago, which has failed to make the postseason since 2010, may have given up a lot to get Trubisky. Skeptics were left scratching their heads and the move could come back to haunt the Bears for years if Trubisky turns out to be a dud. Then again, it could turn out to be landmark moment in Da Bears return to glory.
You can say many things about Chicago fans, but one thing you can't say is they're restrained in voicing their displeasure over drafting Trubisky. Check out the rage below (note the NSFW language, which you get the sense will be repeated all over again the first time Trubisky throws a pick-six).

Pro Bowl players loose in final walkthrough
HONOLULU -- Adrian Peterson signed and tossed miniature footballs into the Aloha Stadium stands, then chatted up Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Marcus Allen. Arian Foster played Peyton Manning's bodyguard for stadium cameras and told fans he recently walked on hot lava.
The Pro Bowl players practiced a little, too, on a sunny Saturday in Honolulu one day before an all-star game that will likely be used to determine its own future.
But the game's main purpose is fun, said several players including Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph and Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles.
"I feel like there's no responsibility, it's just all about fun," Charles said. "You work hard during the year -- it's not like a competitive game."
Competition -- or at least the appearance of it -- is exactly what the NFL is looking for from its stars on Sunday as it uses the game as a measurement of whether it's worth putting on in future years. Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the game will stop if play doesn't improve, drawing mixed reactions from top players all over the league.
Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman says he doesn't want this year's Pro Bowl players to be known as the group who led to the game's cancellation, taking away an honor and privilege for future players.
"I don't want this to happen on my watch," he said.
Rudolph said the players' natural competitiveness will help make the game entertaining.
"It's a game we want to win, so it'll be fun," Rudolph said.
The game should see plenty of scoring, thanks to limits on blitzing and defensive schemes. Bookmakers in Las Vegas expect a combined 81½ points scored, with the AFC squad slightly favored. The NFC and AFC have won five Pro Bowls each in the last 10 meetings.
Houston tight end Owen Daniels says fans won't see many big hits.
"You're not going to see people play dirty or giving it up like a playoff game, but that's just the way it is," Daniels said. "I think you've got to accept that and . know that we love being out here and I think you've got to know that the people here love having us out here."
Daniels said he's been motivated to return to the Pro Bowl after making his first all-star team in 2009. He said he sees the Pro Bowl as a good consolation for players who would rather be in the Super Bowl.
Peterson said moments like his chat with two NFL greats are what make the trip worthwhile for him.
"It's the best part," he said. "It's a bonus, man."
Charles said he's enjoyed watching the leadership of other Pro Bowl players as he's been taking on a bigger leadership role with the Chiefs.
"I'm just trying to keep grinding and working hard," he said. "Trying to be where I'm at right now -- trying to get back here next year."

After retiring from pro football in 1992, former Dallas Cowboy Eugene Lockhart has tried his hand at running a swimming pool installation business and a one-hour photo shop. A more recent foray into home mortgages and real estate--in which Lockhart partnered with former Cowboy Kevin Smith and a man named William Tisdale--may generate a bit more attention for the former All-Pro linebacker, at least for the company he's been keeping.
His partner Tisdale was indicted this summer on federal fraud and conspiracy charges and is accused of leading a ring that stole millions using the stolen identities of the recently deceased. (See "Grave Robbers," by Thomas Korosec, November 6.)
One of his former key employees, a Dallas mortgage broker named Kurt Davis, is being sued by a Houston lender for allegedly carrying out "quick flip" real estate transactions designed to rip off lenders.
Those matters are not tied directly to Lockhart, but the Houston lender is curious about a flip sale of an East Dallas house in which Lockhart, Tisdale and Smith profited directly and in which Davis was involved with the mortgage.
The story of Lockhart's new venture begins last fall, when he formed two partnerships with Tisdale and Smith. One, KLT Properties, is involved in buying and selling houses. The other, America's Team Mortgage, was formed to broker mortgages. A mortgage broker typically lines up a homebuyer with a lender and can handle matters such as hiring appraisers and inspectors.
Davis, the mortgage broker, says he wanted to become the fourth owner/partner in America's Team, but when that didn't happen, he signed on as a contract employee working on commission.
"The idea was to capitalize on their names and get a mortgage business going," says Davis of his former employers, who set up shop on Preston Road in North Dallas.
But in an October 2002 memo to Lockhart, Smith and Tisdale that is included in a court filing, Davis complained that several lenders suspected America's Team Mortgage was a "flip shop" and that the loans it generated contained "fraudulent information or are merely loans to facilitate flip profits instead of arm's length transactions." In a flip sale, someone buys a property and immediately sells it at an inflated price.
Davis' relationship with Lockhart's company quickly soured, and they parted company earlier this year. They are currently suing each other over money owed.
Despite the tone of his memo, Davis was no stranger to flipping properties. Separate from his work with the ex-Cowboys, he engaged in a number of transactions in which he was both the flip seller and the mortgage broker, according to a civil suit filed in July by Home Loan Corp., a Houston home-lending company that did a lot of business with him.
In some cases, the lawsuit alleges, the homebuyers in Davis' deals were "straw buyers" who for a fee were paid to buy houses, took out large mortgages in their own names using false information and in short order defaulted on their loans.
"These are people who are about to go into bankruptcy, or they have some credit that they're willing to use and ruin," says Cecil Miskin, a Fort Worth lawyer representing Home Loan Corp.
In most cases, the buyers swore--as is required for the loan to be federally insured--that they would use the home as their residence, the suit alleges.
Davis, who talked to the Dallas Observer twice and referred further inquiries to his lawyer, denies the lawsuit's claims.
In general, without talking about specific cases, Miskin says this scheme can be employed to make quick profits at a lender's expense because "it's done in conjunction with a bogus appraisal."
"The person selling the house is the one who makes all the money," he says. It's made at the closing table the second the lender hands the seller the check.
"At some point, of course, this game of musical chairs has to stop," Miskin explains. That comes when the buyer defaults on the note. The lender takes a loss because the true market value of the home is far less than the amount of the loan.
Miskin says his client, which sells its loans to even larger lenders, has been forced to take back a number of loans brokered by Davis. The houses listed in the suit are all over the area, in Dallas, The Colony, Richardson, Rowlett and Plano.
One mortgage loan that has not foreclosed but is likely to soon because the homebuyer declared bankruptcy two weeks ago involves a homely wood-sided house at 5917 Reiger Ave. in the Junius Heights section of East Dallas. Its empty hulking presence has been a curiosity to neighbors for more than a year.
"Something strange has been going on over there, but we haven't known what," says next-door neighbor Robert Ackerman, echoing the sentiments of several other neighbors. "It's been empty now for a year and a half."
The house, which had been owned by a wealthy Southern California man who bought it for his daughter's use while she attended SMU, went up for sale after she graduated in May 2002. The asking price started at $220,000, then dropped to the low $200s. On December 23, 2002, the ex-Cowboys' KLT Properties bought it for $185,000, according to real estate industry records.
Eight days later, on New Year's Eve, they sold it to Benjamin Osifo, who paid KLT at least $270,000 for the property. That's how much he took out in a mortgage brokered by Kurt Davis and funded by Miskin's client, Home Loan Corp, deed records show. In eight days, the Cowboys' KLT made at least $85,000 on the house.
For some reason, the title company that closed the transaction didn't file the deed and mortgage records in Dallas County until late January. In the meantime, Osifo bought a second house with a pile of borrowed funds, and that transaction made the Cowboys' flip look foot-slow.
It was flipped in a single day.
On January 27, a man named Brent Brasher bought a brand-new brick house in a McKinney subdivision for $201,000. The same day, deed records show, Brasher sold the house to Osifo for at least $279,900, which is the amount of the mortgage Osifo signed and took out in a loan. The flip had to have been set up weeks in advance because Osifo signed the mortgage note on the same day Brasher purchased the house.
The Observer could not determine who brokered that loan, if anyone, or whether Brasher has any relationship with the people involved with KLT.
So who was this buyer who in less than a month bought two flipped houses and was able to secure more than half a million dollars in mortgages?
Osifo did not respond to several messages left at houses in McKinney and Garland, and another left last weekend at his store Benji's, a clothing shop that just had its "grand opening" in The Shops at Willow Bend mall. Benji's sells clothes with labels by Italian designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Versace.
Public records show Osifo filed for Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy on October 31.
In addition to the $550,000 he owes on the two mortgages, Osifo ran up $66,190 on a stack of credit cards before he pulled the bankruptcy trigger. He listed his total monthly income as "$0.00," so for everyone who lent him money, they are likely facing a total loss. The lender on the hook for the McKinney house--which is worth about $201,000, not $279,900--began foreclosing on that loan last month.
Lockhart, whose mortgage company is defending itself in two lawsuits alleging bad business practices and fraud, declined to return several phone calls over the past month. On Friday, a woman who answered his phone at the company said he is no longer working there. William Tisdale, who she said was presently in charge, said he would "check the file" when asked about KLT's involvement with the Reiger house. He declined to return further calls.
What's interesting about the quick-flip scheme outlined by Miskin is the way it parallels a house sale federal authorities suggest was engineered by Tisdale two years ago.
On February 1, 2001, a company owned by Tisdale and his brother, insurance agent Michael Tisdale, bought a stone bungalow in the 6100 block of Anita Street for $172,000. The same day, deed records show, they sold it for at least $265,000.
The buyer was someone using the stolen identity of a California computer software consultant, who took out two mortgages for $265,000 using the man's credit and a fake drivers license.

The flip netted the Tisdales $93,000.
Evidence listed for use in the Tisdales' upcoming ID-theft trial suggests the fake buyer was either the Tisdales or someone working with them. Authorities found the deed to the Anita Street house in the brothers' possession. Michael Tisdale sold the fake-ID buyer a homeowners insurance policy, taken out in the California victim's name.
The holder of those mortgages, Countrywide Home Loans, took its loss and moved on without filing any civil or criminal complaints, records show.
That is not uncommon, Miskin says. "The mortgage market is so huge, a lot of these very large companies don't see fit to waste time on smaller frauds." Unless the figures start adding up to millions, he says, it is difficult to get investigators with the Department of Housing and Urban Development interested, either. "My client is one of the few who are aggressively going after mortgage fraud," he says.

WASHINGTON -- Hurricane Katrina has knocked the economy for a loop, and whether it revives or slips into recession depends on whether nervous consumers are willing to spend more.
New figures yesterday showed the storm caused incomes to fall in August, reflecting $100 billion in losses by people who didn't have adequate insurance to cover damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles. The Commerce report showed that spending was on the skids even before Katrina struck. Soaring gasoline prices caused consumers to reduce spending by the largest amount since the September 2001 terrorist attacks.
The 1 percent drop, after adjusting for inflation, reflected not only the pain at the gas pump but a cutback in spending on new cars after two big sales months due to attractive incentives from automakers.
The impact of $3-per-gallon gasoline is taking a toll on consumer confidence. The University of Michigan reported yesterday that its confidence survey for September fell to 76.9, the lowest level in 12 years. The August and September declines are the biggest back-to-back drops on record.
Analysts said they expect the economy to rebound from the hurricane and energy-related blows but cautioned statistics over the next two months would look grim.
On Wall Street, crude oil prices eased with a price of a barrel of light crude dropping 55 cents to $66.24 in New York trading.

Found out today that NoCheat+ isn't blocking the Nodus forcefield and you can easily hit people out of range with it. It stops SOME of it, to the point where the victim can still get some hits on you, but assuming they have the fastest trigger finger in the world they'll still only hit you about 75% as many times as you hit them (at best ... in reality it's more like 50%). So the forcefielder is basically guaranteed to win every fight against people with similar gear.

text: [[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/020509poster1.jpg]] Music/BarbraStreisand directed, co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in this 1983 musical drama film, adapted from a 1975 play of the same name (based in turn off the short story "Yentl the Yeshiva Boy" by Isaac Bashevis Singer), about a Jewish girl in Poland who becomes a WholesomeCrossdresser so she can receive an education. The movie is set in the early 20th Century and was partially filmed in Prague. As the lead character, Streisand got to belt out several memorable songs.Yentl secretly is instructed in Talmudic Law by her father, a path that is disallowed to women of the time. When her father dies, Yentl makes the decision to cut her hair, take the name of her dead brother Anshel and disguise herself as a boy so she can enter a yeshiva (Jewish religious school). There she becomes friends with her roommate Avigdor, who is engaged to marry a sweet, gentle, and beautiful woman named Hadass.Complications arise: One day while many of the men are gone swimming, Yentl realizes she is falling hard for Avigdor and can't act on it without blowing her cover. Then suddenly, Hadass's family breaks off Avigdor's engagement. Avigdor had lied about his brother dying of consumption where in truth his brother had gone insane and committed suicide, and the family feared the sickness might run in the family. Distraught, Avigdor comes up with what he thinks is an excellent idea - as his best friend, Anshel should take his place as the groom, and as a result he won't be cut off from Hadass completely. Yentl balks, but she doesn't want to lose Avigdor (who almost leaves the town in disgrace) and Hadass is a nice enough woman. In the ensuing scenes filled with her terror and a few close calls, she ultimately goes through with the marriage.Since Hadass is nervous about the arrangement, still attached to Avigdor and and in no more hurry to consummate the marriage than Yentl is, things settle down for a bit. However, when the three of them are together, Yentl watches Avigdor staring longingly at Hadass and starts to realize that he's too deeply attached to her to ever reciprocate what Yentl feels for him. Meanwhile, inspired by Yentl's wit and brains, the innocent Hadass starts to express an interest in academic study, which Yentl, recognizing the thirst, is all too glad to indulge. What she didn't intend was for Hadass to start to love her because of it, and when Hadass starts to come on to her, Yentl realizes she can't keep up the charade. She reveals the truth to Avigdor, who is initially furious, then accepting, and even admits he was hiding some feelings for her too. Avigdor and Hadass get back together and Yentl leaves for America where she might have a chance at perusing her opportunities more openly.The script was based on a 1968 play written by Leah Napolin which was itself based on a short story from the early 1960s by Isaac Bashevis Singer. Singer ultimately panned the movie production, but it became a box office hit. The movie won an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for Best Original Score; the movie won a Best Picture Golden Globe in the musical/comedy category and Barbra Streisand became the first woman to win a Best Director Golden Globe Award for the film. Amy Irving, who played Hadass, has the rare distinction of being nominated for both the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as well as the UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward for Worst Supporting Actress. (The Razzies also nominated Barbra for Worst ''Actor'' and the movie for Worst Score, which is either a sign that they're meant to be tongue in cheek or a sign that [[LoveItOrHateIt some people are deeply divided about its merits]].)----!!This film contains examples of:* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Both Yentil for Avigdor and Avigdor for Hadass (though she loves him, they're prevented from consumating it).* AsTheGoodBookSays: Part of how Yentl gets out of consummating her marriage: it's apparently [[BlatantLies very clear in the Talmud]] that a woman can't consummate a marriage while she's thinking of another.* CharacterTitle* ChickFlick: of the drama variety* ConsummationCounterfeit: Yentl gets trapped into an arranged marriage with a woman who doesn't particularly want to marry "him" either. On their wedding night they play around non-seuxally in their bedroom and Yentl "accidentally" spills some red wine on the bed, which is taken by the others at the wedding night party as proof of consummation.* DifferentForGirls* IAmBecomingSong: "No Matter What Happens", "A Piece of Sky"* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Avigdor for Hadass when his engagement to her is broken off by her parents and proposes that Yentl marry her. Yentl for Avigdor when she decides to reveal herself and leave Hadass to him while she leaves for America.* IWantSong: "Where is it Written?"* IncrediblyLongNote: Music/BarbraStreisand's final number ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt_jjHAQoJU Papa Can You Hear Me/A Piece of Sky]]); her last note clocks in at over 20 seconds. Babs in general is famous for these.* TheIngenue: Hadass* IronicEcho: There are two: "Nothing's impossible!", first uttered to the [[SweetPollyOliver titular character]] by her study partner Avigdor after he asks her/him to marry his ex-fiancee, later uttered by her when Avigdor almost leaves town after she refuses the favor. The other is "God will understand. I'm not so sure about the neighbors," first said by Yentl's father when asked why he is closing the windows if God will understand that his teaching her Talmudic law, which was forbidden to women at the time, is not with ill intent. It is said again by her to Avigdor's ex-fiancee (now her legal wife) in the same context. * LoveTriangle: A slightly unconventional one. As Yentl puts it: -->He loves her, she loves him, he likes me, I like her, and I've reason to think she likes me.-->She keeps him, he keeps her, I keep things as they were, it's a perfect arrangement for three!** It gets more complicated later when Hadass starts to fall in love with Yentl/Anshel.* SweetOnPollyOliver: After the [[SweetPollyOliver heroine]] reveals her, ahem, "self" to her love interest, he [[WhatTheHellHero bitches her out for a while,]] and then reveals the following to her:-->"I didn't want to touch you. I didn't know why. I thought there was something [[HoYay wrong]] with me. I loved you... "** Justified. Yentl's disguise is pretty crappy (much worse than the equivalent in Tootsie or Mrs. Doubtfire for example.) The miracle is that anyone thought she was a man, not that a straight man was attracted to her. It more makes you wonder about Avigdor's fiancee.* SuppressedMammaries: Yentl binds herself down in order to pass as a man.* SweetPollyOliver: The main character became a man in order to attend a school in Jewish Talmudic Law, which was forbidden for women at the time. It made for some really weird love triangles.* TwelfthNightAdventure: The film was set during a time when women were not to become educated.----

'Twilight': 'Breaking' boredom
"The Twilight Series: Breaking Dawn, Part 1" is an entertaining movie that should please fans of the movie and not disappoint fans of the fictional book series by Stephenie Meyer.
One presumes they are one and the same.
As for the vampires and werewolves, we're not so sure.
The vampires don't come off as half-bad for being half-dead.
The werewolves, well, they are often in the dark. And, as they zoom through the woods faster than a Predator drone, you can barely pick them out.
The big three are what's important here, anyway.
Kristen Stewart is back as Bella Swan, Robert Pattison as Edward Cullen and Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.
As fans of the books and movies know, "Breaking Dawn" is about Bella's big day as she walks down the aisle -- well, a moss-strewn forest glade, really, outside the Cullens' mansion. And it's also about the birth of a -- well, you'll just have to see for yourself.
The wedding should please the most, shall we say, die-hard celebrity wedding fans.
For inquiring minds who want to know: Bella's white gown has a plain front of geometric panels, V-neck bodice, lace-detailed open back with two patterns in the shape of abstract crosses.
Edward wears a white vest and black tux with tails. Edward also seems to wear more makeup than Bella. When it comes to whiteface, Edward gives Marcel Marceau a run for the money.
The "Twilight" series is a combination of a "creature feature" (horror film) and Harlequin romance. This is especially true of "Breaking Dawn," which seeks to pad the thin storyline so as to stretch it out into two parts. "Twilight" fans must wait until next November for Part 2.
So, we get lots of soaring symphony music (by Carter Burwell) and growling wolves for action sequence fights between the werewolves and the vampires.
There is tinkling piano music and strings for the wedding scene. No Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" here.
And throughout there are montages with pop and rock songs on the soundtrack to emphasize one or another of the character's moods.
The pacing is lugubrious. There are lots static shots depicting brooding over the brood.
"Breaking Dawn," Part 1? It should have been called "Breaking Boredom."
Director Bill Condon ("Dreamgirls," "Kinsey," "Chicago"), who also directs Part 2, does his level best to keep the movie interesting, but some of the dialogue is unintentionally -- or perhaps intentionally -- laughable.
"I've been waiting a century to marry you," Edward, the immortal, tells his beloved Bella.
"Breaking Dawn" is like a Hallmark television channel movie of the week, except with blood and fangs, yellow and red contact lens and that white makeup.
That said, "Breaking Dawn" should please fans -- and even strike an emotional chord with non-fans, as well. It did with me, anyway.

My mom is 9 1/2 years removed from a masectomy and last year was diagnosed with APL leukemia, she requires frequent transufions and she just recently got a transfusion for the first time in the arm where she had lymph nodes removed for her masectomy, which is her laeft arm; they could not find a usable vein in her right arm. i know about the restriction with blood pressure, blood draws, etc with this but i am looking for information on a blood transfusion. please assist, thanks Lisa
Aug 25, 2012 - 9:43 pm
many of us lateral, or bilateral ladies are instructed 'NO' blood pressure, or
I would think it would be the same for blood transfusions .. However, I am not
The issue is not the mastectomy itself, but the lymph node dissection. When lymph nodes are removed, there exists the potential of decreasing the body's ability to drain fluid from the arm, armpit and chest. For the vast majority of people, the remaining lymph nodes and veins can handle the removal of fluid without difficulty. However, for some, the lymphatic system can become overloaded, resulting in swelling.
Lymphedema (swelling caused by back-up of lymph fluid) can occur anytime after lymph node dissection (LND). Therefore, anyone receiving a LND should understand and follow lymphedema precautions, which include avoiding any trauma to the arm. Trauma can include blood pressures, IV's, sunburn or cuts.
Best of luck,
Vicki Sam
Aug 26, 2012 - 2:46 pm
I was told no needles unless it is a life or death situation. I would assume a blood transfusion would take priority over the possibility of lymphedema. Although after onset there is no cure for LE, and it has to be managed daily. The severity of LE can wax and wane from day to day and week to week.
Since your Mom needs many transfusions, has she considered a port? That might be worth talking to the doctor about as well. Or can they do the transfusion using a vein in her leg or foot?
Please come back and let us know how she's doing.
Aug 30, 2012 - 6:21 pm
I have also been told no needles, no blood pressure taken, nothing in my arm. I am wondering the same thing about her having a port or using a vein elsewhere. Praying she will be ok.
Aug 26, 2012 - 8:06 pm
I was told by the nurse at my Dr office that you can draw blood. What you can't do is any kind of restriction on the arm. Blood pressure or tourniquets to draw blood. I don't know if this is true but I see my Dr tomorrow I'll ask. My prayers are with you.
Aug 31, 2012 - 10:34 am
I was told only in an emergency! Pre surgeries I am stabbed so many times-can't find vein for IV...they keep trying until finally get one. I tell everyone right arm only (slim pickings yet they say can we use other arm?????????) I said NO...
but if absolutly MUST do for transferssion what else can they do. MY MOM had PICC line (spell ?) surgericall put in for most blood draws and I THOUGHT tranfussions (but could be wrong) she had them all the time for platlet issues..
I hope you get info needed

NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says he is close to adding former Georgia defensive coordinator Willie Martinez to his coaching staff.
"Willie is an outstanding coach and someone with a tremendous background in our profession," Stoops said. "His experience is very impressive and he will contribute a lot of very good things to our program. And not only is he fine secondary coach, he's a good recruiter with ties in Florida and a number of other places."
Stoops said Wednesday that Martinez will be joining the Sooners as a defensive backs coach and Bobby Jack Wright will move from that position to oversee the team's defensive ends. The opening on the staff was created when defensive ends coach Chris Wilson left to take a job at Mississippi State.
"Bob has won so many games and so many championships there that I am just very humbled to be part of that staff," Martinez said. "I was there in 1985 with Miami, so I've experienced it myself. I love history and tradition and I go back to my childhood and that Oklahoma name was just always the tops. And it still is thanks to what Bob and his staff have done.
"I've known Bob back to his K-State days and I've known all of those guys on the defensive side of the ball. It's an outstanding group of men and that's what makes this such an attractive job."
Stoops says the Sooners have compared notes with Georgia's coaching staff during the offseason in recent years and found that the teams use similar concepts on defense.

(Opening Night Film)
From its early image of a chaste teddy-bear shaped cloud adrift in a bright blue sky, Amélie serves up as expert a dose of Gallic whimsy as we've ever witnessed. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen), this tale of a daydreaming waitress (Audrey Tautou) and the menagerie of eccentrics who inhabit her Montmartre neighbourhood has already proved a mammoth hit in its native France where it has been single-handedly credited with lifting the homegrown film industry out of the doldrums. As with all runaway successes, though, the film has attracted some criticism too, with some sceptics complaining that it peddles a suspiciously deodorised view of modern-day Paris. But even in its most sugary moments, Amélie casts a heady spell. Its genial, old-fashioned line in sentiment comes buttressed by a wealth of state-of-the-art visual effects.

Based on Margaret Edson's Pulitzer prize-winning play, Wit showcases a career-best performance by Emma Thompson as Vivian Bearing, a high-minded poetry professor facing the last stages of ovarian cancer. Set-up complete, the stage is set for a supple, affecting meditation on mortality and humanity, underscored all the way by the writings of John Donne (Bearing's specialist subject). Meantime Mike Nichol's direction leans hard on probing close-ups, making the most of Thompson's intense central performance.

The Believer
Danny Balint (Ryan Gosling) is a self-confessed "Jewish Nazi", the fiercely bright, self-loathing anti-hero at the heart of Henry Bean's confrontational tale of modern American prejudice. Rebelling against his family and his teachers, Balint campaigns for "Germany all over again". He hooks up with a far-right matriarch (Theresa Russell) and her libidinous daughter (Summer Phoenix) and takes to storming the streets with a gang of skinhead pals. Powered by an electrifying performance by Gosling (who's clearly an actor to watch), The Believer makes for undeniably edgy, uncomfortable viewing. Fortunately, Bean handles his material with an admirable restraint, cutting away from its more violent episodes and weaving an icy intellect throughout its high-charged surrounds. The ending, as Balint grows increasingly torn between his Jewish past and his bovver-boy present, will send you out of the cinema reeling.

Ghost World
Having rustled up a peerless documentary study of cartoonist Robert Crumb back in 1994, director Terry Zwigoff turns to Daniel Clowes's cult graphic novel for this tart, witty tale of adolescence under siege. Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson play the oddball teens adrift in an off-kilter LA suburb, while Steve Buscemi co-stars as the fortysomething lonely-heart who Birch takes a shine to. Like the best comic-books, Ghost World's exaggerated stylings spotlight fundamental human truths. Nowhere is this more evident than in the central figure of Birch's flawed, idealistic rebel. With her severe black bob, green lipstick and geek-chic specs, the girl looks like a grunge doodle made flesh.

First things first. Todd Solondz's follow up to the brilliant Happiness arrives fuelled by the same misanthropic zeal, the same deft writing, the same terrible bravery. Trouble is that it's a fatally top-heavy creature: marvellous in the first half, fumbled in the second. Storytelling arrives broken into two halves.The first, Fiction, revolves around a love triangle of an ambitious college student (Selma Blair), her disabled boyfriend (Leo Fitzpatrick) and their take-no prisoners creative writing teacher (Robert Wisdom). The second, Non-Fiction, follows the misadventures of a wannabe documentary film-maker (Paul Giamatti) from a gated suburban community in New Jersey. But where part one is a wickedly funny, beautifully observed tragicomedy, part two catches Solondz navel-gazing, musing on his art as his acid dynamism goes astray.

Battle Royale
Battle Royale's plot is as straightforward as a bullet. In a near-future Japan, a class of 42 teenagers are landed on a deserted island patrolled by soldiers and instructed to kill each-other off. First prize is simple survival - only one of them can leave the island alive. Out of this fiendish little conceit, veteran director Kinji Fukasaku and star Takeshi Kitano (who plays the class's implacable teacher) have crafted a sly, bloody satire on reality TV and arcade-game ultra-violence. But is Battle Royale a shade too close in spirit to the phenomenon it's sending up? Survive the film, then draw your own conclusions.

Viewers fortunate enough to catch Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's last two pictures (Maborosi and After Life) will be beating a path to catch his latest, Distance, a tale of the fall-out caused by a massacre instigated by a religious cult. A haunting examination of how the past can corrupt the present, the tale plays out on the anniversary of the tragedy and focuses on the interactions of four bereaved families and one surviving cult member. Shot with a chill formal precision, Distance keeps the viewer at arm's length but teases with information, keeps them hungering for more.

Hirokazu Kore-eda's official website
Once upon a time (1998 to be precise), Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and Tom Herman had a neat idea for a website that would let its users pay parking fines and file tax returns over the internet. By 2000 the completed site (govWorks.com) had raised some $60m in venture capital and was employing a staff of 233. By last January it was dead in the water; the victim of faulty software and the dot.com crash. All that remains, in fact, is this telling, engrossing documentary from Jehane Noujaim and Chris Hegedus; a deft microcosmic portrait of the industry. In fact, Startup.com is so up-to-the-minute that it previewed at this year's Sundance Film Festival a mere three weeks after filming finished. The picture arrives at Edinburgh still warm from the editing suite.

The Pledge
As an actor, Sean Penn is one of the vital performers of his generation. As a director he seems haunted by the ghosts of some illustrious ancestors. The Pledge is a film largely out of step with modern cinema and more akin to the stripped-down, meditative sagas of the 70s American scene. Jack Nicholson stars as a retired Nevada cop who swears "by my soul's salvation" to track down the mysterious killer of a local child. As the film progresses, however, the more apparent it becomes that Penn's real investigation is into the anguished, shattered psyche of his lead character. While teeming with arresting images (a haunting stroll through a turkey farm) and raw supporting turns (Benicio Del Toro as a retarded Native American), The Pledge is, at heart, a haunting showcase for Nicholson's skills. Skulking at the film's centre, Nicholson comes up with his best performance in years.

Dogtown and the Z-Boys
Stacy Peralta's award-winning documentary tells the tale of the Z-Boys - a gang of punk-rock surf-and-skateboarding teens who gatecrashed the beach bum surfer community of the late 1970s. Swinging between the ruined lots of "Dogtown" (a coastal hinterland between Venice and Santa Monica) and the empty swimming-pools of Beverly Hills, Peralta's pic is an exuberant look back at a forgotten youth culture. A vibrant Sean Penn voice-over sets the freewheeling tone. At one stage the actor flubs his lines and simply keeps on going, like a skater wiping out in the middle of a dazzling trick.

The Man Who Wasn't There
After the giddy exuberance of the Coen brothers' last two pictures (The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou), The Man Who Wasn't There strikes a more sombre note with its lustrous black-and-white photography and stealthy, slow-burning atmospheric. A bewigged Billy Bob Thornton headlines as a barber in 1940s Sacramento who hatches a blackmail scheme when he discovers his wife (Frances McDormand) is having an affair. Coloured by the crime novels of James M Cain, The Man Who Wasn't There offers a perfectly tailored, though startlingly spartan rendition of the classic dimestore noir plotline. Thornton's subtle, restrained tour-de-force is already being spoken of as a future Oscar contender, plus there's some immaculate support from James Gandolfini (of Sopranos fame) and (in her second festival movie) rising star Scarlett Johansson.

In Reply to: Hyperthyroid question posted by Mary on October 06, 2000 at 18:56:33:
: I wanted to kknow if thyroid diseases stunt your growth?
Hi Mary,
I know that it can affect growth in children and I think they check all newborns for thyroid problems. But I think this is more related to HypoT not HyperT. There is a link between thyroid homone and growth homone that I don't quite understand yet though, hope someone can fill us in more about it. A funny thing happen to me last weekend concerning this. My daughter was over for a visit and while we were standing facing each other she suddenly asked it I was still 5'4". We both took off our shoes and found that my 5'2" daughter is taller than me! I'm only 56, don't think I should be shrinking quite yet! My mother (also hypoT) has lost about 4" in height, but then she's 82. We didn't get out the measuring tape but I'm going to later today. The last time I was measured was only three years ago (when I was hyperT) and I was still 5'4" and I know that just two years ago my growth hormones were highly active, Doc had said they were like those of a child. So I don't understand how this could be happening. Are you hyperT? Have you lost any height? Tina

Album Rating: 4.5yeah this is definitely better than blood mountain
Album Rating: 3.0Unfortunately, this album becomes dull after a few listens..........unlike Blood Mountain :P
Mastodon pwn Baroness ...this is a good listen initially but becomes a bit boring over time.
Both Blood Mountain and Leviathan are better albums.
Album Rating: 4.5So, this becomes a tad tedious upon repeat exposure, huh? Gladly, I'm not there yet. Unlike 'Blood Mountain', I kinda see this one as an all or nothin proposition. As soon as I put on 'Rays on Pinion', I feel obligated to listen all the way through....You? Same thing with this Giant Squid that I'm talking up. Once you start it, one feels compelled to listen onward to the end. Neither are somethin you want to listen to on 'random' either. Both have that kinda concept album feel to 'em. Gnome sane?
i absolutely LOVE Mastodon, especially blood mountain, so in that case, i'm assuming you'd recommend this to me moltenlava?
Granted this album is fantastic ...but listen to it too much and you will find it becomes tedious and that is why IMO this will only ever be a good album and not excellent or superb.
Album Rating: 4.5
i absolutely LOVE Mastodon, especially blood mountain, so in that case, i'm assuming you'd recommend this to me moltenlava?
Album Rating: 4.0Giant Squid is good, but not really like either band.
Baroness's EPs are even better.
I'm gonna check Giant Squid out soon
Album Rating: 4.5I do like the material on the two Baroness EPs, BUT, we've already heard that very same stuff out of dozens of bands prior. It's good, but not vital. And, not very different from what came before it. 'The Red Album' on the other hand is a tremendous jump in growth. In fact, most people wouldn't be able to even tell it's the same group.
Album Rating: 4.0Have you heard the unperson's split? It's my favorite release by them.
Album Rating: 4.5No. I'm only familiar with ONE and TWO. You're kidding. There is no Unperson's Slit.
Album Rating: 4.0http://rateyourmusic.com/release/ep/baroness___unpersons/a_grey_sigh_in_a_flower_husk/
Album Rating: 4.5Oh, snap! How did that little phucka elude me all this time? I thought that there was only 'One' and 'Two' before 'Red'. Cool, now I have more great music to explore. I'm gunna ask you if this 'Unpersons' came before the two EPs I just mentioned, BUT, I know, it would actually make more sense if it came after because of the wide GULF in direction between the two EPs and 'Red'. So, which is it?
Album Rating: 4.0I think it came out right before Red Album.
Album Rating: 4.5Oh, now that I look, this recording is an actual SPLIT/ with another band's music. There's only two Baroness tracks on the dang thing. That's rather weak.
This Message Edited On 07.01.08
Album Rating: 4.5well that's usually what a split is
I knew Weezer had to have ripped off that album title.
Album Rating: 4.5The SPLIT/ has sev/ ered any hope of me enj/ oying it.
Album Rating: 4.0This is way better than Mastodon.

Good item
fit ok
Everyting fit well. No problems with instalation
Perfect fit!
better than the stock set from the MoCo
The type of gasket (from paper to metal) did not impress me. However, so far no issues because I have not ran the engine long enough to determine how long it will last. I still wish I would have went with the James Gasket set.
Way superior gaskets as compared to stock!
Quality gaskets, multi layer steel, Recommend.
To me this is the best gaskets. Fitment perfect and great seals.

It feels like a fall day around here. I will have a perma-smile all day long! Last weekend the boys and I sat down and made our fall bucket list and decided our home needed a chalkboard wall to write it on. So I painted and waited and chalked and today it was ready to write on. So here's our new addition to our kitchen. It's imperfect, quirky, and full of fun. It fits right in!
Dave really likes the black against the white so I have convinced him that I want a black and white hallway. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! My little plan is coming along swimmingly. I knew if he saw it, he would be on board.
These kids are awesome at telling all the things they want to do. The "buy slippers" one cracks me up. I will totally buy slippers. Bryce is very practical and also suggested getting more wool socks because it gets cold at night. He is the one I will not have to worry about when he starts driving. He will drive like a senior citizen on Sunday and that will be fine by me. Sam on the other…hand, well not so much!
Pretty awesome list, if I do say so myself! Aren't chalkboard walls homey? I totally love them.
I may have to pull out some fall clothes today. I like that idea!

Ecclestone moves to end German lawsuit early
29 July 2014 – Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has offered to pay BayernLB £20 million if it drops the bribery case against him, his defence lawyers have said.
According to reports by Bloomberg, Ecclestone is finding the lawsuit "highly burdensome" and wants to bring the matter to a close as swiftly as possible. It is not due to finish until October.
The deal has still to be discussed, although as it is a criminal case it will be up to the judge to decide if the charges are dismissed.
Ecclestone has been on trial in Munich since April.
The case concerns a payment made by the 83-year-old to an employee of German bank BayernLB in the lead up to the sale of Formula 1 to current owners CVC Capital Partners back in 2006.
The employee involved in the alleged $44 million dollar bribe was Gerhard Gribkowsky, who is currently serving an eight and a half year prison sentence after being charged with bribery, breach of trust and tax evasion.
Ecclestone has always protested his innocence and insists he was "shaken down" by Gribkowsky, who had accused him of tax evasion.


text: Hi, I have to do a new debian installation next days and downloaded one of the netinstall iso-images (beta3) from the debian website. My problem is, that I need a wlan-module which is not yet packaged for debian, the rt2570-wlan-module. Now I thought if it's possible, to build this module on another machine with same kernel an gcc as on the netinst-image and to load it manually during the installation-process. I think, it's not possible to install a basic system with such an netinst-image and compile the module afterwards, because the kernel-headers are not on this disk, am I right? Is there any way to handle this? Or do I have to get a complete-debian-installation image first? Thanks for your help, sigi.

HAYWARD — The sleepy campaign for Hayward City Council seats will shift into high gear this Saturday when all nine candidates will engage in two debates in one day.
The first candidate forum happens Saturday morning in the Linekin Building, one of the historic houses that make the Prospect Hill neighborhood unique. The debate ends at noon, leaving candidates just an hour to gather their thoughts and zoom about six miles southwest to the opposite end of town.
The second debate happens at the Georgian Manor Mobile Home Community, a 55-plus senior park known for its high voter turnout at election time.
Both events are expected to reflect some of the political concerns of the local constituencies.
"We've got a couple really important issues up on the hill," said Frank Goulart, host and moderator of the Prospect Hill forum. "The miniloop is a really, really big concern."
Along with the controversial "loop" — part of a council-approved road plan that would create one-way streets downtown — the Prospect Hill debate is expected to touch on a number of other downtown topics.
Goulart said another "lightning rod" issue in Prospect Hill is the proposal by owners of the Palace Card Club to relocate and expand their poker club from Mission Boulevard to the Kumbala Club building on Foothill Boulevard.
Meanwhile, candidates visiting Georgian Manor are likely to field questions from Hayward mobile-home owners worried about park owners trying to convert their properties into residential ownership.
Bob Billmire, one of the event organizers, said a residents committee will withdraw from the hall after the debate, vote by secret ballot for their recommended candidates and later deliver their recommendations to the more than 2,000 who live in Hayward's nine mobile-home parks.
All nine candidates have indicated they will attend both events. Both events are open to the public. The election is June 3.
For a map of where the nine candidates live and a list of questions they may face Saturday, visit The Daily Review's blog, The HayWord, at http://www.ibabuzz.com/hayword.

The leading rebel has called for a radical overhaul of the direction of the party to make it more inclusive of the country's minority groups.
Mosiuoa Lekota, a former chairman of the party and defence minister, told supporters: "We are going to go and set up a party." The move comes in the wake of the sacking of Thabo Mbeki as the country's president by the party, under the new leadership of Jacob Zuma, a populist Zulu.
It is the greatest division the ANC has suffered since the end of apartheid in 1994, and analysts say that while it may not threaten the ANC's hold on overall power, it brings forward the prospect of truly competitive multi-party politics in Africa's most important economy.
Mr Lekota, an Mbeki supporter who was on the losing side in party elections at its conference last year, accuses the Zuma camp of riding roughshod over the ANC's internal democracy and abandoning the principles of the Freedom Charter which guided the struggle.
With Nelson Mandela's 'Rainbow Nation' beginning to tarnish under the strain of repeated ANC corruption scandals and the government's black economic empowerment policies, which some feel are leaving whites marginalised, Mr Lekota stressed that the country and the new party should be open to all.
"It's important that all South Africans feel wanted here," he told a Sunday newspaper. "It's their home, too.
"It's vital that whites, coloureds and Indians all feel that they can participate effectively and be elected to leadership positions." But the ANC hierarchy, which has suspended him pending disciplinary action, alleges he is motivated by personal ambition and says he is refusing to accept the defeat he suffered at the ballot box.
With both sides trading insults, amid allegations of dirty tricks and claims of physical threats, the movement is undergoing one of its most tumultuous periods since it was formed 96 years ago.
Many of Mr Zuma's allies are vocal Left-wingers, and his ascendancy has led to fears of a radical policy lurch, even though Mr Mbeki was replaced as president by Kgalema Motlanthe, a relatively moderate intellectual.
The dissidents insist that they are defending South Africa's democracy, and will gather in Bloemfontein next month – where the ANC itself was launched – for their founding convention.
"At the convention people must decide what they want to do with themselves," said Mr Lekota. "There has to be debate, what will you call it.
"Obviously there will be lots of names and so on. We say to the people 'you go back to your constituency and see which names, which colours, which emblems."
Several possible names have already been mentioned in reports, among them South African National Congress or ANC-Democratic Front.
The key question remains how many senior figures will join the new party. Reports at the weekend suggested as many as 50 of the ANC 290 current MPs could do so, which would amount to a major blow, and the rebels have a rich field to plough for defectors - around 40 per cent of party delegates backed Mr Mbeki in his attempt to retain the party leadership last year.
But with the ANC still commanding widespread loyalty from its role fighting apartheid, those who join the new party will be gambling their entire political futures to do so.
Mr Zuma warned them: "It's cold out there if you are out of the ANC, very cold."
