Triple S meeting adds
2 new commissioners
The Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission will have its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday a 6:30 p.m. at the Stratton Center, when it will welcome two new members – George Best as appointed by Shelbyville City Council and John Wills as appointed by Shelby County Fiscal Court.
They replace Ed Rudolph and Gil Tucker, respectively.
The commission will elect a new chair and vice chair and take up two items of new business.
The long discussed hospital merger finally went through on Friday, although not exactly as planned.
After Gov. Steve Beshear last week had vetoed a merger between Jewish Hospital & St. Mary's HealthCare, Saint Joseph Health System and University Hospital in Louisville because of complications between public and private institutions and separation of church and state, but on Friday JHSMH and St. Joseph's, which is owned by Denver-based Catholic Health Initiatives, announced their merger.
On July 8 the Shelby County Board of Education invited representatives from all the principal companies that built the Collins High School multipurpose athletic to come to the school and peel back the turf for a first look at why this year-old surface had developed soft spots that left it unusable.
Much to the surprise of many, the Shelbyville City Council did not discuss or have the second reading of the ordinance to annex property at the southwest corner of Harrington Mill and Freedom's Way.
The second reading of the annexation of the 70-plus acre Ruble property and the railroad track land that is contiguous to it was removed from the agenda sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.
New Shelbyville City Attorney Steve Gregory said the agenda change was a precaution to make sure everything is as it should be.
With a new year comes a new budget.
The Shelby County Board of Education will get its first look at the 2012-13 draft budget at Thursday's meeting at the district offices at 1155 Main Street.
A new board chair and vice chair will lead the meeting into always dicey budget discussions.
The current 2011-12 working budget shows the district having to cover more than $625,000 in Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) funding from the state. However, that number will not be fully known until the end of the school year.
A crowd of about 75 people turned out Thursday night at Stratton Center to listen to U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie during one of his 21 county "listening sessions."
"We've been busy today; we're already been to Hart, Bullitt and Spencer counties," said Guthrie (R-Bowling Green), who said he still had stops Friday in Edmonson, Grayson and Breckinridge counties.
He was there to listen to the constituents of the district, and they were there to listen to him.
Three people were arrested Thursday at the second bust related to methamphetamine in Shelby County within three days.
Pamela F. Perry, 52, Earle C. Perry Jr., 31, and David L. Seaton, 47, all of 2282 Vigo Road, were arrested Thursday afternoon and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine.
A week after a Shelby County Grand Jury ruled that a Shelbyville Police officer was justified in shooting and killing a teen in his grandmother's home, the investigation remains open.
Kentucky State Police Det. Ben Wolcott said last Tuesday after the hearing that he expected to wrap up the investigation into the shooting of 19-year-old Trey Williams by Shelbyville Police officer Suzanna Marcum by the end of the week, but he said yesterday that had not been done.
New pre-trial dates have been set for two men charged with sex-related crimes against children.
Mark Hawks of Lawrenceburg is facing more than 100 child pornography charges in Shelby and Anderson counties.
In Shelby Circuit Court on Monday, Circuit Judge Charles Hickman set Jan. 20 as the next scheduled court date for Hawks, 55, of 402 Secretariat Dr.
Henry Telles, 25, of Shelby County, is charged with multiple counts of child molestation.
A Pleasureville resident was found dead in a hotel room in Shelbyville early Saturday morning.
Connie Joelene Landers, 32, died at the Best Western Motel from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Shelby County Coroner Jeff Iver, who worked the scene, said Shelby County EMS was called to the scene in the early morning hours and discovered Landers' body. He released no further details.
Family members said that Landers had been distraught over long-term chronic pain.

Jim Nicholson emerged from a childhood marked by hardship.
He was accepted to West Point and went on to earn a Bronze Star as an Army Ranger paratrooper in Vietnam. Later, he became a lawyer and real estate developer and, after switching party affiliation, rose through the ranks to become chairman of the Republican National Committee. Last September, Nicholson took up his appointment as U.S. ambassador to the Holy See. He recently spoke from Rome with Register features correspondent Tim Drake.
You're from Iowa originally, aren't you?
I grew up in Struble, a small town in Northwest Iowa. It had a population of 99 when I grew up there. Today it has a population of 67. My father suffered from the disease of alcoholism and was quite itinerant. He ended up being a feed and fertilizer salesman. My mother stayed at home until the children had grown. She later taught. She was a real stickler for education. We had some tough times during my teen-age years, but she saw education as being the key to getting ahead in America, so all seven of us children went onto college.
I understand that times were hard and you often had to rely on the kindness of neighbors?
Yes, we lived in a tenant house out in the country without electricity, plumbing or transportation. Sometimes we literally did not have food in the house. We went to a one-room school and sometimes the schoolteacher would send us food or get others to drop food off at our home. I remember one Christmas Day morning walking two miles with my father in knee-deep snow to buy some eggs at a nearby farmhouse. When we returned home mom used the eggs and some dried bread to make French toast. That was our Christmas dinner.
You were once a Democrat. What led you to switch parties?
My family grew up as Democrats. They liked Roosevelt. I went on to the Military Academy and went into the Army so I didn't have the opportunity to participate directly in politics.
I went on to law school in Denver and later became general counsel to the Colorado Home Builders Association. It was at this time that I realized that I wasn't a Democrat. As counsel I worked with small-business men and women trying to build homes and to provide shelter, and the Democrats were fighting them at every turn. They didn't want any growth in Colorado. That caused me to first change parties, and later I began helping Republicans to get elected.
You demonstrate that one can be both faithful and active in politics. How does one successfully bridge faith and politics?
They are certainly not mutually exclusive. My faith, and my belief in the power of prayer have always been important to me. I am a very grateful American – grateful to have grown up in a country that is so free and that provides such opportunities for people like me that come from such a humble background. It makes me very appreciative. This is also a country that provides for a great deal of religious freedom and the opportunity to practice one's faith. I believe that the two-party system we have in the U.S. has served us well and helped us to preserve that republic.
There is no jeopardy to one's faith in serving either party. I've met a lot of people very active in both parties that have a very active and important faith and prayer life.
You've been ambassador now for five months. What kinds of things have you been doing?
As the American ambassador I represent the President and the U.S. to the Holy See. It is my job to explain our country's positions in a way that is clear and understood so that the Vatican will appreciate our positions and agree with them more often than not.
One of the first things that you do after you are confirmed by the U.S. Senate is to present your credentials to the Head of the State, His Holiness John Paul II. That was scheduled far in advance for Sept. 13, 2001. When we met, at Castel Gandolfo, Pope John Paul II and I had a very long and personal conversation. The main topic of conversation, as you can imagine, was terrorism. The Holy Father said, "It's not just your country that has been attacked, but all of humanity." He implored that in spite of the heinous act that the U.S. would maintain our tradition of preserving our system of justice in retaliation. I assured him that we would do that. They do not like bombs and bullets. They are into spirituality and ethics and morality and truth.
That meeting has set off a string of bilateral encounters where we have discussed our actions in Afghanistan and the just-war theory to try to get their support, and we have been trying to do that.
As former chairman of the Republican National Committee you successfully promoted unity within the Republican party. How did you go about this?
Essentially when I took over the party in January of 1997 it was a very dispirited and disjointed party. We had just lost a major national election and had lost confidence that we could win a national election. We were deeply in debt and very demoralized.
I put a plan together and began traveling the country to urge people to examine why we are Republicans. As Republicans we believe in freedom, and the sanctity of life, less government, and lower taxes. I stressed that if you believe in those things you are a legitimate Republican.
While we may not always agree on every issue, we are together on those core issues. We started raising some money and developed our values system, particularly on the issue of education. Day in, day out, in one city and state after another, I would meet with party leaders to share this message. In November of 1997 we won 19 of 19 races and showed that we could win. It wasn't space science, it was just common sense, hard work and adhering to our values.
Given that Catholics have historically aligned themselves with the Democratic Party do you think that Catholics will ever be comfortable in the Republican Party?
Yes, Catholics can be comfortable in either of the parties. If they examine the party's values and make an informed decision, I believe they can be comfortable. Since I am currently in a diplomatic position, I'd rather not let myself be taken down the road in a partisan discussion.
In terms of your work with the Vatican, are there any issues in particular, which the president has asked you to work on with the Holy See?
I met with the president right before coming here. At that time, terrorism was not on the screen the way it is now. The Middle East remains a major area of concern for the U.S. and the Holy See. Human rights and religious freedom are also major issues for both of us. We are also concerned with the use of biotechnology to help feed more of the Third World and the ethical issues surrounding that. We are also very involved in the issue of human trafficking.
Can you put the problem of human trafficking into terms for those unfamiliar with it? What efforts are being taken to address this issue?
Well, 21st century slavery is going on in large numbers. The State Department reported to the Congress that over 700,000 people were trafficked in the year 2000. These are people that were impressed against their will into some kind of servitude — women forced into prostitution and young children impressed into forced labor. It is happening on every continent and most countries around the world. It is a horrific epidemic and a major human rights tragedy that needs to be addressed in a strategic manner.
We need to have a heightened awareness of the scope and gravity of the problem. We are setting out to try to expand that awareness. On May 15-16, we will be hosting a major conference to explore human trafficking and its potential solutions at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. We are enjoying the active, enthusiastic support of the Holy See and will bring together experts to share information with each other and the world.
How is the Holy Father doing?
He is doing well. He suffers from a neurological condition and it causes him a great deal of frustration, but his mind is like a steel trap. There are so many things that he wants to do and so many places that he wants to go.
His condition forces him to move much more slowly. Nevertheless, he does an amazing amount. I spent a day with him in Assisi last Thursday. I see what he does on a daily basis and it's really incredible the schedule that he keeps.

In reply to:
Re: LAURENT DUCHARME b:1723 Montreal Quebec...
Paul Marquardt 5/25/07
Bonjour Paul,
thanks for your comments. As I said before, I am not an expert on that family. My research are limited to what happened to its members while they lived in Québec. For the rest, what I know comes from persons like you, who descend from Fiacre Ducharme.
Now your are right in saying that the same names are often repeated in the same family. It's a problem, of course, but also a clue that someone may belong to a family and not an other. For instance, there were no Laurent, Dominique or Jean-Marie in the first generations of Charron-Ducharme family, while they were numerous among the descendents of Fiacre Ducharme and Marie Pacreau.
Have a fine day. Always a pleasure to hear from you.

The Protagonist/Chief Delinquent: Marabel Jenkins
There are a few things you should know about our protagonist, Marabel Jenkins.
Thing #1: She has a habit of rolling her eyes before answering anyone over the age of twenty-five.
Thing #2: She likes pizza.
Thing #3: Her hands have a mind of their own. They tap and they tinker. It's annoying to everyone — most of all, her.
Thing #4: She's somewhat lacking on the friend front, thanks to Thing #3, which means she doesn't quite fit in.
Thing #5: Her hair is pretty much all frizz at this point. If there was someone in her life to love and guide her, they would tell her she's actually far more beautiful than she thinks, but good luck convincing her otherwise.
Thing #6: Despite all appearances, she's really trying her best, and everyone should just cut her some slack already.
Thing #7: She's really easy to get to know, if only you'd read all about her!
The Book: The School for the Intolerably Strange
You'd think that a place with the name The School for the Intolerably Strange would be just that: a school for the strange. Unfortunately, if you thought that, you'd be wrong. At the School for the Intolerably Strange, the rules are so strict, they're printed out and molded into desks and chairs, so students can't claim to have forgotten them. Mean robotic creatures called Insult-O-Bots roam the halls, waiting to point out any flaws in the students they pass (like that pimple, or those lopsided glasses, ew!). All with the hope that any student unfortunate enough to be deemed "strange" will reform and transform — into something acceptable, something common, something boring.
If you read up on Marabel Jenkins in the column to the left, you can probably guess that she wouldn't do well in a place like this. And you can probably guess, too, that this is exactly where she's been sent, along with every other strange kid who can't sit still and looks a little lopsided and is UNREASONABLY LOUD and paints on walls and is just, well, not boring.
How will Marabel Jenkins and her strange friends fight back? Sign up for the mailing list and we'll let you know when the book is coming out!

An upside-down season in the Big 12 South has led to one of the most unexpectedly important games in the conference's 15-year history.
When No. 22 Baylor visits No. 19 Oklahoma State on Saturday, the two teams picked to finish at the bottom of the standings will play for first place in the division. It's the first time the teams have ever played with both in the Top 25 and it's a complete reversal in a game that's decided last place in the division four times before.
"Crazy things can happen in college football," Cowboys quarterback Brandon Weeden said. "We knew we were better than fifth in the Big 12 South. That was a no-brainer, and Baylor's doing the same thing. They're having a great year. They've come a long ways."
Oklahoma State's rise has been a steady one. Under Mike Gundy, the Cowboys (7-1, 3-1 Big 12) have increased their conference win total each of the past four seasons. The momentum was expected to stop with the departure of quarterback Zac Robinson, first-round draft picks Russell Okung and Dez Bryant, and nearly all of last year's starters on the offensive line and defense.
Instead, Oklahoma State can do no worse than a share of first place with No. 11 Oklahoma (7-1, 3-1) if it can beat Baylor for a 14th time in 15 meetings as conference rivals.
"The Big 12 South is ever-changing," OSU receiver Isaiah Anderson said. "At any point in time, anybody can be on top. We're just happy that we have the opportunity to take first and be ahead of everybody in our division."
Right now, it's the surprising Bears (7-2, 4-2) in that position after they went on the road to beat Texas last week for their first three-game winning streak in Big 12 play.
Baylor had believed better times were ahead after a strong debut by quarterback Robert Griffin III two seasons ago, but that optimism was cut short last year when he suffered a season-ending knee injury before conference play began. The Bears finished alone in last place for the 11th time in 14 years of Big 12 play.
Either Baylor or Oklahoma State has finished last, or tied for last, in the South every year since the league was formed in 1996.
"Confidence is fragile and needs reassuring and reality. What we're finally getting to deal with is production and reality," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "You can talk about painting a picture, but until you fill the canvas you're not really sure it's ever there. We're signing the picture now."
Griffin ranks third in the nation with 332.6 yards of total offense per game, two spots ahead of Weeden, but he's hardly gotten the Bears to this point by himself. Running back Jay Finley smashed the school's rushing record two weeks ago, and the win over Texas came with safety Byron Landor and punter Derek Epperson being named Big 12 players of the week.
"Right now, we are on top of the Big 12 South and we are planning to stay there," Griffin said. "It is our job to make things happen."
Justin Blackmon, a big part of Oklahoma State's unexpected success while leading the nation in receiving yards and TDs, will be back after serving a one-game suspension for his arrest on an accusation of driving under the influence. The Cowboys, who are tied for third in the nation in scoring average (45.3 ppg), had their lowest point total of the season without him in a 24-14 win at Kansas State last week that helped set up this week's first-of-its-kind showdown.
"I guarantee if you asked them, they would have said that they expected to be here, and we expected to be here as well," Weeden said. "It's going to be a fun game for the fans. I expect the atmosphere here in Stillwater to be pretty electric."

Barnsley's run without a win stretched to nine games as free-scoring Watford made it four wins in five games to rise into the play-off places
Visiting manager Keith Hill, commenting on his side's defeat, said: "There was nothing even about it.
"We rode our luck with respect to the first half. We made some horrendous decisions in and out of possession.
"The best team won and I've got to congratulate Gianfranco (Zola, Watford's manager) because I think he's got an excellent side.
"We were very susceptible. We looked weak against the opposition so I don't think we were ever in the game.
"Individually and collectively, we weren't cohesive, with and without the ball."
An early header from Troy Deeney set Zola's men on their way but they needed a fine double save from Manuel Almunia and a terrific goal-line clearance from Tommie Hoban to preserve their lead at the break.
But once Mark Yeates had doubled his side's tally in the second half the home side took command as Deeney netted his second and Matej Vydra converted a penalty.
Marcus Tudgay did pull one back late on for the visitors, but when asked if he thought Watford could return to the Premier League this season, Hill replied: "There's a possibility. That's the best performance I've seen from an opposition team against us. I thought they were excellent in every department."
Unlike his counterpart, Zola felt the margin of victory was harsh on the Tykes although he was delighted to get another three points.
"It's been a little bit of rock and roll for us, but in the end the final (outcome) was perfect," he said.
"I'm delighted with the result, very pleased for the players but it's been hard. I don't think the result is too fair towards Barnsley because they played a good game. Yes, probably we deserved to win but not in that way."
Watford: Almunia, Hall, Hoban, Ekstrand, Cassetti, Yeates, Hogg, Chalobah (Battocchio 71), Pudil, Deeney (Geijo 81), Forestieri (Vydra 66). Unused substitutes: Bonham, Dickinson, Murray, Mujangi Bia.
Barnsley: Steele, Cranie, Foster, McNulty, Golbourne, Mellis (Dawson 32), Greening (O'Brien 81), Buzsaky, Davies, Sinclair (Noble-Lazarus 70), Tudgay. Unused substitutes: Alnwick, Wiseman, Cywka, Stones.
Referee: F Graham (Essex).
Man of the match: Troy Deeney.

Two out of three savers suffer ISA bonus regrets
More than two out of three cash ISA savers admit to suffering bonus regrets despite planning to switch accounts when the special deal ends, new research from Virgin Money shows.
Even though only 14% of Cash ISA customers said they would not shop around when their ISA bonus deal runs out, over two-thirds (69%) admitted that they don't actually get round to it. This means that, despite their best intentions, these customers end up receiving a lower rate of interest than they originally expected.
Industry research shows more than half of the 58 instant access cash ISAs launched last year came with bonuses, while a third of the 128 instant access taxed accounts launched in 2011 had bonuses which can be as high as 2.6% and can end with accounts paying as little as 0.1%.
HMRC statistics show the average amount invested in Cash ISAs last tax year was £3,190. An account paying 0.1% a year would earn a saver just £3.19 in interest compared with £90.92 in an account paying 2.85%.
The research from Virgin Money suggests that whilst many savers are aware of short-term bonuses, only 1 in 4 customers said that competitive rates in the short-term were the most important thing to them.
Anthony Mooney, Mortgage and Savings Director at Virgin Money, said: "While most of us like to think that we will remember to switch accounts when a bonus ends, the reality is that too often we don't have the time or we simply forget to shop around.
"That can leave your savings stuck in an account paying an uncompetitive rate, which erodes the benefit from the up-front bonus. Virgin Money is focused on offering attractive, bonus-free rates to customers, whether they are investing online, in branches, on the phone or via the post."
Virgin Money urges all savers to make the most of their ISA allowance – whether they choose a Cash ISA or a Stocks and Shares ISA, or a mixture of the two. Any savings or investments must be made by 5 April to qualify as part of the 2011/12 allowance, and any allowances not used this year are lost for good.
Virgin Money's Easy Access Saver and Easy Access Cash ISA both pay 2.85% with the same rate offered to customers investing online, by post or telephone or in branches. The account accepts transfers in from existing ISAs.

Day 3: Rashida Jones, Elijah Wood & Emily Blunt stop by Sundance Channel HQ
We're dealing with blizzard conditions here in Park City. And no, that isn't a coastal overreaction to mountain weather. We almost lost a busload of filmmakers on the way back from Robert Redford's brunch this morning and they're shutting down roads left and right! But, have no fear, plenty of stars managed to snowshoe on over to Sundance Channel HQ. Perhaps it's because we've got plenty of hot drinks and love to snuggle. Rashida Jones charmed everyone and Emily Blunt is still one of our favorite indie darlings, so check out the full roster of smiling faces and pretty pictures:

TORONTO - In a small way, for Trevor Harris, Thursday nights turn as quarterback of the Toronto Argonauts was an audition.
The Argonauts are, after all, a team that soon will have to declare an heir to the No. 1 job now held by Ricky Ray.
In an even smaller way, it was a reward for being a diligent football soldier, working in the background as a third-stringer who knew the only time hed likely bark any meaningful signals this summer would be through a Wendys takeout window.
Harris played a bit more than a quarter, threw 14 passes, completed seven for 77 yards, including the one to Chad Owens that precipitated a game-stopping celebration as the Argonauts receiver set the league record for combined yards in a season.
But for Harris, this was about more than one moment. One game. One audition. One thrill. This was about one more lesson in a lifelong study of Football 101. While hed like nothing better than to emerge as the No. 1 quarterback in Toronto someday, the 26-year-old out of Edinborough University in Pennsylvania, is looking further down lifes highway. Someday I want to be a coach. I went to college to learn to teach math. I love to teach. And thats what coaching is, glorified teaching, said Harris, who once set a Division II record with 630 passing yards in a playoff game against West Liberty.
I really like the college game. The kids are at an age where theyre just hungry to play and Id really love to end up coaching there. Nothing against the pros ... but kids are so passionate. I just love how hungry they are.
Thursdays 43-40 win was pretty heady stuff for Torontos scrubs, knocking off a Hamilton team that needed a win to make the playoffs. That intensity is what made it special for Harris, who had thrown just five passes all season. The cool thing was it wasnt a meaningless game for (Hamilton). Theyre scratching and clawing. So they were firing their bullets. Its encouraging to know you can got out there and make the correct decisions.
If the Ticats had their backs against the wall in a win-or-go-home scenario, it was just as big a deal for Argonauts such as Harris and fellow rookie quarterback Zach Collaros, who piloted the winning drive.
They were very poised, head coach Scott Milanovich, said afterward. It was impressive to see that the moment wasnt bigger than them.
Not everyone can quarterback the Packers. Not everyone can throw like Darian Durant or have Ricky Rays touch. But it is possible to become a football technician; to perhaps pass on a football knowledge that will someday make someone else a starting quarterback in a Rose Bowl, a Vanier Cup or Grey Cup. And, like those college kids, he someday hopes to coach, there is a hunger for football that burns inside Harris.
Every morning when I call my mom and say, I gotta go to work now, she kind of chuckles and says, youre not going to work. Youre going to a locker room, going in to watch film and play football.
Or, in Harris case ever since leaving college in 2010, learning football.
Until Thursday he had completed one regular-season CFL pass.
He has been a paper quarterback with Jacksonville and Buffalo in the NFL, took a sideroad through Hartford of the United Football League, and into dead end streets in the Arena League with Orlando and Arizona.
Then, he showed up at the Argos rookie camp in Bradenton, Fla. I remember that first night I called my mom and my agent and said, I like this brand of football. I think it suits me. I like the offence. Its fun.
In the Argonauts final pre-season game, Harris threw 13 completions in 15 attempts, for 160 yards and two touchdowns. That earned him a roster spot. Since then he has been studying playbooks, schemes, new protection techniques. New league. New game. New ideas.
So, what did he learn from Thursdays appearance? Its a different animal (than pre-season), he said, laughing. You study film all week, you prepare, but by the time you get out there on game day its just reaction. I felt my eyes were in the right spot. Obviously, I probably played much better in the pre-season but I felt I made good decisions ... and theyd get better; but that takes reps.
Now come the playoffs. Back to breaking down film, back to studying, back to watching Ricky Ray, back to hoping, learning, listening, back to getting a football education. Meantime, the other dream lives, too. If youre a backup and dont wish you were playing you probably shouldnt be here.

Written on: 20/08/2013
I was immediately concerned about my orders after reading the reviews (which was mostly negative) as I've placed an order without thinking twice and reading the store's reviews first.
Turns out, my order arrived earlier than expected and I was able to track my item on DHL's website in real time! I am definitely pleased of course.
Apart from the extremely sloppy state of the packaging, the items seems to be in a good condition. Not too bad, I would say.
Read a review where the user stated that item which you did not select was added into your cart unknowingly when you're shopping online. In my case, a 0.99 pence mug was added into my cart and I promptly removed it before checking out. My advice is, just be careful and re-read your list of items before checking out.

The Far Left Must Not Hijack Israel's Social Protest
Time after time, people elected by Israeli center to represent the center have betrayed its trust; key and essential moves for change have been hijacked by a far-out group with a dogmatic agenda.
One of the ugly phenomena in Israeli politics is the hijack.
In 1977, the majority of traditional Mizrahis (Jews with origins in the Muslim countries ) wanted a nationalist-social change but the right hijacked the elected government and made Prime Minister Menachem Begin's regime the government of the settlers. In 1992 the moderate majority in Israel wanted a cautious diplomatic change but the left hijacked the elected government and made Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's regime into the Oslo government. In 1999, the enlightened majority in Israel wanted a civil-secular change but then Prime Minister Ehud Barak abandoned the old woman in the hospital corridor and made his government the Camp David government.
Time after time, the people elected by the Israeli center to represent the center have betrayed its trust. Time after time, key and essential moves for change have been hijacked by a far-out group with a dogmatic agenda. The Israeli majority has not managed to realize itself because its representatives have betrayed it.
The danger of a hijack is hovering over the protest movement. Three different forces are trying to hijack the airplane of social change and to land it in foreign destinations. One of these hijacking forces is old and familiar: Anyone but Bibi. Loathing of Benjamin Netanyahu is a profound and known phenomenon. Netanyahu is doing everything in his power to justify and fan this loathing. There is scope for direct and transparent action against his government. However, the social protest is too important for it to be boiled down to another putsch against Netanyahu. There already was one such putsch in 1999, by Barak's billionaires, media outlets and nonprofits. If all that happens as a result of the revolution of the summer of 2011 is that the free marketer Netanyahu is replaced by the tycoons' party Kadima, it would all have been a waste of time. And a waste of energy. A waste of a moment of Israeli grace that will be destroyed.
The second hijacking force is new but strong: Crucify the rich. Some of the very wealthy in Israel have too much power, too many loans and too many vassals. The Israeli pyramid of centralization must be dismantled. There must be an end to the culture of the golden calf. But the terrible guillotine on the boulevard was a warning sign. It warned that dark forces and dark impulses are liable to take over the justified protest and derail it. Hatred is always a disgusting phenomenon. Hatred of the wealthy for being wealthy is liable to have destructive effects. If all the protest does is to chase the wealth out of the country, it is a waste of time. And a waste of energy. A waste of a moment of Israeli grace that will be destroyed. The third hijacking force is the radical left. The Rothschild Boulevard protest was supposed to have represented first and foremost the middle class. It was supposed to have given a voice to the engineer from Shoham, the doctor from Tel Hashomer and the reserve officer from Kfar Sava, who are carrying the burden of making it through the month. These sane Israelis do not want red socialism. These industrious and patriotic Israelis are not subversives. Therefore, the leaders of the protest are betraying their trust when they surround themselves with post-Zionists from the Van Leer Institute and radicals of Sheikh Jarrah.
The movement that is demanding transparency and representativeness is not operating transparently and representatively. It is not known who is doing the funding, who is doing the organizing, who is pulling the strings. There is room in Israel for a strong Hadash party but Hadash is not the Israeli majority. If the protest is hijacked by the far left, it is a waste of time. And a waste of energy. A waste of a moment of Israeli grace that will be destroyed.
The moment really is a moment of grace. The opportunity is a once in a generation opportunity. But what is needed now is not Marxism and not populism and not hatred. What is needed now is practical action to transform the Israeli market into a free market and the Israeli state into a state of social justice. Therefore, it is necessary to let Emanuel Trajtenberg do his job. And not to get caught up in daydreams. The 2011 protest has succeeded because it has been nearly everyone's protest. The 2011 protest will continue to succeed only if it remains nearly everyone's protest. Friends, do not hijack it. Do not betray the Israeli majority and the Israeli center yet again. The obligation to be faithful to the people is also incumbent on the leaders of the protest.

Julio harnesses control on Tuesday
Julio harnesses control on Tuesday
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers reliever Jorge Julio had just notched his first win with the club on Tuesday night, but he was incredulous when a reporter approached him to talk about it. "Now you want to talk to me?" Julio protested. "You never wanted to talk to me before." Before Tuesday, there weren't many positives to talk about. Julio has been the least-used member of the Brewers' bullpen, and before he worked a perfect sixth inning against the Pirates, he had surrendered at least one run in three of his four appearances and had issued a walk in all four.
Credit Julio for going to work with pitching coach Bill Castro, who spent 17 years before this one as Milwaukee's bullpen coach. Relievers typically don't throw pregame bullpen sessions because they have to stay fresh, but Julio did, and he made some adjustments to improve his command. One key difference is that Julio is now throwing all of his pitches from the stretch. Before, he was working from the windup with no runners on base. "I've been working every day with him on location," Julio said. "It's not how hard you throw; it's location. I was throwing a lot of walks." Julio certainly does throw hard, reaching 96-97 mph with his fastball. But with that power has come a propensity to issue walks; 218 of them in 449 2/3 career innings entering this season. Even last September when he was excelling with the Braves -- Julio went 3-0 with a 0.73 ERA in 12 late-season appearances -- he issued eight walks in 12 1/3 innings. But with the Brewers, the walks had become very costly. Julio walked seven batters in five innings prior to Tuesday, including a free pass with the bases loaded on April 12 and three walks in the span of five batters on April 21 at Philadelphia. One of the walks in the latter outing went to Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer, and manager Ken Macha had not used Julio since. If he can string successful appearances together, Julio, who signed a one-year, $950,000 contract over the winter, could become a key member of a Brewers bullpen that has fallen into order with the return of closer Trevor Hoffman. Julio and Carlos Villanueva could provide a nice hard/soft tandem for Macha ahead of setup man Todd Coffey and Hoffman. "You have to give Billy Castro some credit here," Macha said. "He had a heart to heart with [Julio] in the lunchroom [on Tuesday]. ... I'm rooting for him to do well. I'm glad he came in and threw the ball very well. Not just having a clean inning -- that's one thing -- but he was right around the plate, and that's been his problem his whole career, walking people. Maybe it's all the work that he and Bill put in here. We need everybody in that bullpen."

Actually, we probably want to prune the non-d-i-supported xkb layouts to save room. Apart from these, is the patch roughly OK?

Release Date: 2008 |
Not too bad Dave. I liked the balance of information with the music & lyrics on this album.
However, the entire 1st paragraph is disjointed and actually requires a double-take to understand.
Album Rating: 4.0Valid point. I dunno, I wanted to start my review away from how I usually do, and I felt discussing how Browne and Frey's success varied after the release of Take It Easy was a way to do this.
Nah, that's not what I mean. I really like the idea. I meant the wording is disjointed. For example; Using the word "together" twice in the first sentence. That can be fixed. The bit after it comparing the 2 singers is also not quite right, but I am unsure if you can get around it.
Album Rating: 4.0I'll probably go over it again in the next couple of days.
I'm onto a review of the new Queen album...wish me luck!
Oh yeah, good luck... And I will be interested to see what you have to say on it. The first 3 or 4 reviews I saw were pretty negative and when I finally did see a positive review for the album, it seemed over the top (8 or 9 out of 10 from memory).
Album Rating: 4.0Won't say anything yet, but it'll be here in the next couple of days. We've just had a bombardment of Queen reviews, so I'll give ample breathing space.

Next year's Best Kept Village and Market Town competition will be different after one of its main organisers announced it was pulling out of the event.
Community Lincs, which has run the competition for 50 years with Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), blamed "current restraints" for its decision to withdraw.
Past winners from South Holland have included Holbeach, Kirton, Long Sutton and Crowland which lifted the Past Winners' prize last year.
In a letter to parish and town councils, competition co-ordinator Teresa Palmer said Community Lincs had re-assessed its activities to "ensure its own continued sustainability."
CPRE is expected to continue with the competition and the letter did confirm that Community Lincs would work to ensure a "smooth transition of organisation" for the event.
It said: "At this time of constraint on resources, Community Lincs has been re-assessing all of its activities and commitments to ensure its own continued sustainability.
"As part of this process, we have been reviewing our support to CPRE for the delivery of the Best Kept Village and Market Town competition.
"We have, with much regret, concluded that with current restraints we are unable to continue to deliver this competition."

Facebook And A Timely Investment Reminder
The IPO of Facebook is the flavor of the month, and analysts are buzzing all over the place with questions such as "Who is getting rich?" and "How high will it go?".
Charles Rotblut of the American Association of Individual Investors notes that investors always need to be mindful of the difference between an investment and a speculation, especially during frothy market cycles. Money quote:
This brings us back to the key difference between an investment and a speculative trade. An investment is a commitment to holding reasonably priced securities as long as their underlying fundamentals and business models remain attractive. A speculative trade is a short-term position designed to take advantage of expected price movements. A planned long-term investment can turn into a short-term trade if the price unexpectedly jumps, but a short-term trade should never turn into a long-term investment.

The changing of the leaves and the beauty of the colors is what I love most about fall. This inspired me to make these pretty folded paper leaves.
I love paper crafts. I also love the look of paper medallions. I noticed a half a paper medallion could be made into a leaf shape.
My first try at making a folded paper leaf looked more like a sea shell. After several trial and error attempts, it now looks like a leaf.
The materials I used to make Folded Paper Fall Leaves were paper with fall colors, leaf template, scissors and glue.
NOTE: The papers I used were 12×12 in size. You could use 8.5×11 at the minimum.
I first cut out my leaf template.
Download our Folded Paper Leaf Template HERE.
I folded a piece of scrapbook paper in half. The paper I used was a 12×12. You could use a 8.5×11 at the minimum.
I placed the leaf template on the folded paper. The dotted lines of the leaf template go on the fold.
I traced the leaf template onto the paper.
I cut out the leaf pattern. I unfolded the paper. See the pattern.
I started to accordion fold my leaf pattern. I started at the widest part. The folds are about 1/2 inch.
I then folded it together in the middle with the widest part up. It should line up and create a leaf.
I glued the two ends together.
I cut a strip of paper and glued it onto each leaf as the stem. I bent part of the strip of paper and glued it to the bottom of leaf. See photo below.
Aren't the leaves pretty lying on the white background?
The Folded Paper Fall Leaves look beautiful displayed as a garland.
Have you made any fall projects with leaves?
Happy Crafting!

Bangladesh vote unlikely to stem violence
DHAKA, Bangladesh — The run-up to today's general election in Bangladesh has been marked by bloody street clashes and caustic political vendettas, and the vote threatens to plunge this South Asian country even deeper into crisis.
The opposition and its allies are boycotting the vote, a move that undermines the legitimacy of the election and makes it unlikely the polls will stem a wave of political violence that killed at least 275 people in 2013.
Much of the capital, Dhaka, has been cut off from the rest of the country in recent weeks, as the opposition pressed its demands through general strikes and transportation blockades. Civilians have been caught up in the bloodshed, with activists torching vehicles belonging to motorists who defy the strikes, leading to a growing sense of desperation about the political impasse. Up to 50 schools and other facilities to be used as polling stations were burned down since Friday, TV reports said.
"I want to go to vote, but I am afraid of violence," said Hazera Begum, a teacher in Dhaka. "If the situation is normal and my neighbors go, I may go."
The chaos could exacerbate economic woes in this deeply impoverished country of 160 million and lead to radicalization in a strategic pocket of South Asia, analysts said.
The opposition demands Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina step down and appoint a neutral caretaker administration to oversee the election. But Hasina refused, which means the election will mainly be a contest between candidates from the ruling Awami League and its allies. Awami League candidates are running unchallenged in more than half of the country's 300 parliamentary constituencies.
Bangladesh has a grim history of political violence, including the assassinations of two presidents and 19 failed coup attempts since its independence from Pakistan in 1971.
"I am fearful that deadly violence could return, people would continue to suffer, political forces with extreme views could emerge in the face of government crackdown and repressive measures," said Asif Nazrul, a law teacher and analyst. "This election will just pollute our very new democracy by shrinking the space for opposite views."
The squabbling between Hasina and opposition leader Khaleda Zia — known as the "Battling Begums" — has become a bitter sideshow as both women vie to lead the country. "Begum" is an honorific for Muslim women of rank.
The bickering between the two longtime rivals caused an uproar in October, when the women spoke for the first time in years in an acrimonious telephone call.
"I called you around noon. You didn't pick up," Hasina said, according to a transcript published in the Dhaka Tribune, an English-language newspaper.
Zia, leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, said the prime minister was wrong.
"You have to listen to me first," Zia snapped.
Last weekend, after authorities barred Zia from leaving her home to join a rally, she told police she would change the name of Gopalganj, Hasina's home district, if she came to power.
Her outburst was broadcast live on TV while roads around her home were heavily guarded and sand-laden trucks were parked to obstruct her movement.

Playground legends offers a unique raiding experience not not found in most heroic progression guilds. We are able to make significant progression each tier, with the ultimate goal of finishing the tier while it is current (pre-nerf). We do this with less than half of the time commitment typically required of a heroic raiding guild. Because efficiency is important on such a limited schedule, we expect our raiders to show up prepared, focused, and ready to perform at an exceptional level each and every raid night. To help ensure that our raiders are able to focus on performance, consumables are provided by the guild bank.
Playground Legends distributes loot via loot council. Loot decisions are made based on what will benefit the guild the most, with attention to individual performance and dedication. We use loot to kill bosses, we don't kill bosses because we like getting loot. If you value your individual character progression over the progression of the guild, Playground Legends is not for you.

Vietnam Breaks Up Anti-China Protests
« Back to Article
3 Responses to Vietnam Breaks Up Anti-China Protests
The Vietnamese authorities deployed more security force in order to intimidate the demonstrators, who were holding peaceful rallies with chanting, music, and singing like a carnival except for the political and patriotic characters.
Even the well-respected revolutionary figures were harassed and denied of their rights of participation to these rallies.
For instance, Ms. Lê Hiền Đức, 80 year-old, nationally and worldwide famous figure for her revolutionary past serving as spy for President Ho Chi Minh and relentless leader of anti-corruption campaign, had been detained at her home by the police officers. She was up all night and anxious about the possibility of leaving her house this morning in order to join the rally with her friends and patriots.
She threatened that there would be blood shed before 9 am if she was not allowed to leave her house because her life would be worthless living in a oppressive regime, a regime that she had dedicated her life to fight for and now she is not even allowed to exercise her simple rights of a citizen. An ambulance was on standby at her house ready for any tragic eventuality.
Vietnamese authorities, being puppets of China, crack down on anti-China demonstrations. Time for National Unity!
Ms. Chan: for balanced reporting, why quoted propaganda from Global Times without another source from Vietnam? Furthermore, if China really thinks there's no anger among Vietnamese they are seriously mistaken and they may have succeeded in pressuring the Vietnamese government to suppress the demonstration, but they can't touch the Vietnamese spirit.
it is the time for the patriotic vietnamese to demonstrate that we cannot tolerate such provocative and invasive actions from china, 90 million vietnamese will all rise up to defend our country, stop your invasion now china or history will repeat itself!

Website: Jesus of the Week is a wonderful page that celebrates Jesus art with all its blemishes. Each week a new depiction of Jesus is posted. Most of these items were once well-meaning products that have so closely resembled satire that they have actually become satire themselves. My favourite photos include Jesus holding a baby dinosaur, and a miraculous appearance of the image of Christ on a bucket of pizza sauce in Pennsylvania.
Bible Translation: The Brick Testament is not a translation per se. It's a Bible made up completely of depictions of biblical events. As the self-proclaimed, "World's largest and most comprehensive illustrated Bible" this "bible" has been featured in People magazine and Rolling Stone among others. And did I mention… each picture is completely and solely comprised of Lego bricks.
Video: Drive-through church is an excellent YouTube clip. Just like anyone else, I too can sometimes self-identify with a consumerism attitude towards church. And any church leader knows it's hard to balance between people's needs and people's wants. Search YouTube.com for "drive-through church"
Music: The CD, Journey of the Soul is a Christian freelance project by local Edmonton artist Joel Shepherd. What makes this worth a mention? It's contemporary Christian music that your church can use for free simply by asking! In the artist's own words, he wanted to "bless God" and "to bless others and encourage them." I greatly appreciate the song Suffering Soul and it's certainly worth a listen. CDs are available online and through iTunes. joelshepherd.ca
Funny Bible Verse: In 2 Chronicles 21:14-15, God punishes people by giving them horrible diarrhea.
Kitsch: Although it's hard to tell sometimes, I'm 100 per cent sure this is a joke. Still it's worth a look if you like ridiculous Christian kitsch as much as I do. The ad claims to sell a Jesus statue and phone alert Jesus that informs purchasers when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security raises the threat. Hey, it made me laugh and rest assured, now that the idea is out there somebody will probably try to make one for real.

min: 64000
max: 12000000
Videos shot with these settings are usually 6-10mbps bitrate. I have changed these values to:
min: 35000000
max: 60000000
And my videos are now between 20mbps and 50mbps (huge leap!). The file sizes are bigger but I'm assuming this has to mean the videos will be somewhat better quality (my guess is mostly in low light when the ISO is cranked higher). I don't understand very well how these values are all used in here, but adjusting the bitrate ones does make a difference. Although framerate for 1080p says 30 here, they always come off camera at 24fps so I'm not sure if framerate (or any other changes) will work here.
Any value higher than 60000000 for the max will cause the camera app to crash, so I think this is a good max for now. This mod has been done on countless other devices, so I'm in no way discovering anything new, I just decided to poke around and see what changes work
Here's some more details for what to modify (to apply this mod to 720p and 1080p):
Starting at line 127:
<EncoderProfile quality="720p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30"> <Video codec="h264" bitRate="60000000" width="1280" height="720" frameRate="30" /> <Audio codec="aac" bitRate="96000" sampleRate="48000" channels="1" /> </EncoderProfile> <EncoderProfile quality="1080p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30"> <Video codec="h264" bitRate="60000000" width="1920" height="1080" frameRate="30" /> <Audio codec="aac" bitRate="96000" sampleRate="48000" channels="1" /> </EncoderProfile>
<VideoEncoderCap name="h264" enabled="true" minBitRate="35000000" maxBitRate="60000000" minFrameWidth="176" maxFrameWidth="1920" minFrameHeight="144" maxFrameHeight="1080" minFrameRate="15" maxFrameRate="30" />
Additional mod:
People have claimed on other devices changing this setting produces higher quality images from the camera, starting at line 216:
<ImageEncoding quality="100" /> <ImageEncoding quality="80" /> <ImageEncoding quality="70" /> <ImageDecoding memCap="20000000" />
Steps to apply the mod:
1) have ADB setup and working (not explaining that here, plenty of other threads for this)
2) cd to some directory to work in (I just use the desktop), ensure ADB is in your path (google that part)
adb pull /etc/media_profiles.xml .
4) Make your modifications, save the file (maybe keep a backup of the original file if you want).
--- workaround because adb remount doesn't work] ---
adb push media_profiles.xml /sdcard/download
7) Reboot phone, all set!
- or just use Root Explorer (available in the market) to do the changes, reboot the phone and you're done!

Hope somebody else finds this as useful as me!

Guinness trial 'breached human rights'
The trial of three businessmen convicted of colluding in an illegal share-fixing operation alongside former Guinness chairman Ernest Saunders breached their human rights, European judges have ruled.
The prosecution's reliance on Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) interviews with Gerald Ronson, Sir Jack Lyons and Anthony Parnes during the Guinness fraud inquiry obliged the three men to incriminate themselves, said the Human Rights Court in Strasbourg.
But they rejected other claims by the three men that there had been "improper collusion" between police and the DTI, and that the trial had been unfair in any other way.
No damages were awarded but the judges gave the three men two months to submit claims for costs and expenses.
The Strasbourg judges reached a similar verdict in the case of Mr Saunders more than four years ago, dealing a major blow to efforts to tackle city corruption.
The British Government conceded after the Saunders verdict that the use of the DTI evidence violated the European Convention on Human Rights, to which Britain is a signatory.
The court said on Tuesday that there was no reason to reach a different conclusion in the case of Mr Saunders's co-defendants.
Prison threat
In November 1986, the then Trade and Industry Secretary appointed inspectors to investigate allegations of an illegal share support operation that aimed to guarantee the success of Guinness's acquisition of the Distillers company.
Mr Ronson, Mr Lyons and Mr Parnes were interviewed separately by the inspectors on various occasions.
They faced the threat of hefty fines or up to two years in prison for contempt of court if they refused to answer the questions put to them.
Transcripts of the interviews were passed to the Crown Prosecution Service and then to the police when the Director of Public Prosecutions requested a criminal investigation.
On Tuesday the judges in the European Court of Human Rights ruled the DTI evidence was used "in a manner intended to incriminate" and was therefore an infringement of the defendants' right not to incriminate themselves.
Crown Court trial
Mr Saunders was charged in May 1987 with false accounting, theft and the destruction of documents.
Charges against the three businessmen came in October 1987.
Mr Lyons, then a management consultant, was charged with nine offences relating to invoices submitted for advice given during Guinness's acquisition of the Distillers company.
Mr Ronson, chairman of Heron International was charged with eight offences relating to invoices which two Heron subsidiary companies submitted for losses incurred on the sale of Guinness shares and for the "success fee" paid after the successful outcome of the Guinness bid.
All three maintained that the share operations were common practice and could not be classified as a crime, and they pleaded not guilty to all charges at the Crown Court trial.
In August 1990 Saunders was convicted and jailed for five years and the three businessmen were also convicted on counts of conspiracy, false accounting and theft.
Appeals were rejected in May 1991.
A second appeal in 1994 on the basis of new evidence relating to City of London takeover practices, was also rejected.

Nora Ephron was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a pre-leukemic condition, a few years back. She told almost no one. Instead, she forged ahead, socialized, worked on projects and remained relentlessly upbeat. The question is why. Why, when she could have seen the outpouring of support with her own eyes that came following her death yesterday, did she keep it such a closely guarded secret? A case could be made that she didn't want our sympathy or our pity or our frowns at her expense, but I choose to believe it was for a different reason. I choose to believe, rather than wasting her final years answering questions about death, she wanted to spend them actually living.
Nora Ephron's legacy will undoubtedly start with her brilliant romantic comedies, but during her career, those gems were far from the only thing she accomplished. In fact, she got up to more crazy shit than almost anyone I've ever read about. She wrote, blogged, interned, managed, directed, befriended, married, gave birth, quipped and fussed over her wardrobe like a woman possessed. She half-assed nothing and by the end, accomplished everything.
When you remember Nora Ephron, think about her romantic comedies. Think about all the moments of joy her witty, careful dialogue offered, but when you're done doing that, try to remember the woman in her totality. Ponder the other brilliant elements of her character, her career and her outlook. She was a true and determined original, and she will be missed. In her honor, here are the ten coolest things she got up to during her life…
She Knew Deep Throat's Identity
For the last seven years of Ephron's life, this juicy tidbit was decidedly less cool because Mark W. Felt outed himself in 2005, but prior to that, only a select group of people knew Deep Throat's identity, and as journalist Carl Bernstein's wife for a four year chunk in the late 70s, the director was one of them. A case could be made that for the three plus decades between Nixon's resignation and the official unmasking, there was no more speculated about secret than this gem, and by going through her husband's notes and doing a little research, Ephron pieced the entire thing together. The marriage eventually crumbled thanks to his cheating, but there was no unlearning of the secret in the divorce settlement.
She Wrote and Directed You've Got Mail
You've Got Mail is one of the most watchable movies I've ever seen. It's like vanilla ice cream or a showerhead with good flow. With a few smiles, a few laughs and a decidedly happy ending, it's the perfect film to accompany chores. That might sound like an insult, but it actually isn't. How many movies do you own that you'd gladly watch during almost any occasion? If you say more than ten and you don't have a DVD/Blu-Ray collection of over two hundred movies, you're not accurately thinking about this question. It takes a certain pace and a certain tone to be eternally pleasing, and Ephron's gem exists entirely in that sweet spot. I've probably watched You've Got Mail thirty times in my life, and apart from the grating AOL noise, not a single moment has ever left me disappointed or wanting more.
She Worked In JFK's White House
During the summer of 1961, Ephron landed a summer internship at the White House during her break from Wellesley. While there, she reportedly helped free the Speaker of the House from a bathroom he got locked inside and somehow avoided being hit on by President Kennedy. It's unclear which of those feats she was more proud of, but each has a certain charm and brag-ability about it. Besides, even if nothing had happened the entire summer, it's not like the rest of us can claim to have shared the same space as JFK. In an alternate universe, she probably could have become a hell of a speechwriter, but all things considered, I think she probably made the right call avoiding politics.
She Married The Guy Who Wrote Goodfellas
I'm not sure whether marrying the guy who broke Watergate or the guy who wrote Goodfellas is a bigger brag post, but considering her marriage with Bernstein was a failure and her marriage to Nicholas Pileggi was a rousing success, I think it's probably best to touch on the latter. The two walked down the aisle and said their I-dos in 1987, and by all accounts, lived happily ever after. As a noted screenwriter and author, he had a unique insight into her profession, and as a fellow Academy Award-nominee, she certainly respected his professional accomplishments. Relationships are about balance. They require give-and-take, and with both having a wide range of interests, the two found plenty of time to bond outside of Hollywood. Like her beloved characters, Ephron found the man she was meant to be with, and she never let go.
She Never Stopped Loving New York City
Nora Ephron grew up in Beverly Hills, but she spent the warm nights dreaming about moving to New York. She was born in the fast-paced city, but her parents, who both worked in the industry, moved her out to California when she was five. When she was able to chart her own course and plan her own living arrangements, she returned to the city and found a job working for the New York Post. For the rest of her life, she celebrated New York every chance she could through movies, essays and plays. Many of her most iconic scenes were filmed on location in the Big Apple, and she lived out the last few years of her life on the Upper East Side, insisting there was no better place on Earth.
She Made Sleepless In Seattle
People often remember Ephron's career as a meteoric rise to stardom, but she actually had more than a few rough patches. Her first attempt at screenwriting, an adaptation of All The President's Men, was rejected by the studio, and her first directing credit, This Is My Life, made less than three million dollars at the box office. After the latter's failure in 1992, it was a real question as to whether she'd ever succeed as a director. Luckily for her and her legion of fans, Sleepless In Seattle crushed with moviegoers. To this day, the film remains a beloved romantic comedy and surely the greatest extended commercial for the Empire State Building ever filmed. It's not remembered as the funniest thing Ephron ever wrote, but look at the scene of Tom Hanks and Victor Garber crying over The Dirty Dozen and try and say the woman can't write a funny scene.
She Was Nominated For 3 Oscars
How Nora Ephron never won an Academy Award is one of the great mysteries of our time, but her three nominations are a good indication of how much she was respected by her peers. Plus, considering she only wrote thirteen movies during her life, being nominated three times is actually an incredible success rate. We all know audiences loved Nora Ephron, but her influence within the industry was also legendary. When she talked, people listened, soaking up her advice and little tidbits of information with the gusto most reserve for only those they admire the most. In 2003, she was honored by the Writer's Guild with the Ian McLellan Hunter Award for her outstanding body of work. I would be shocked if more posthumous awards don't quickly follow.
She Had 2 Sons
All the accolades in the world mean nothing if you don't have a loving family to celebrate them with. Ephron understood that, and throughout her life, she worked hard to spend time with those she cared about most. In addition to her husband, her universe revolved around her two lovely sons Jacob and Max Bernstein. The first followed in his mother's footsteps and became a journalist. He frequently writes in the Style section of The New York Times. The second veered away from the family business and became a working rock musician. Their lives are reflections of their mother's openness and willingness to push for excellence and originality, and all they accomplish will have at least a hint of her influence.
She Was A Bestselling Author
Most writers who make a name for themselves do so in one medium. Ephron never stopped reinventing herself and looking for new challenges. She started her career writing parodies and quickly transitioned from there into journalism. By the end of her life, she'd written movies, miniseries, plays, blogs, essays and memoirs, all with incredible success. Her most recent works I Feel Bad About My Neck and I Remember Nothing both became immediate bestsellers and further endeared her to scores of readers who loved reading her observations and thoughts about both the grandiose and the mundane. Had she decided to write fortune cookies, I'm sure she would have been great at that too.
She Wrote When Harry Met Sally...
The knock on When Harry Met Sally… after it first came out was that the banter and the writing was a little too clever for its own good. There were too many brilliant one-liners and too many hilarious moments to feel like real life. Maybe that's true. In fact, it is kind of true. When Harry Met Sally… isn't real life, but that cleverness and that hilarity are what make fans continually return to it. The film wasn't the best-reviewed of 1989 or even the most attended, though it did well on both fronts, but over the years, it has turned into one of those movies everyone can use as a frame of reference. Harry and Sally have become the only acceptable way to describe two friends who inexplicably don't get together, and "I'll have what she's having" has become one of the most quoted lines of dialogue in the history of film. Nora Ephron accomplished a ton of wonderful, brilliant, intoxicating things during her lifetime, but nothing approaches the coolness and warmth of When Harry Met Sally…. People will be talking about this movie one hundred years from now, and that, in and of itself, is a sign of a life well lived.
We'll miss you, Nora—for all the reasons outlined above and dozens more.

The Santa Barbara County Range Improvement Association (RIA) prescribed burn scheduled for Tuesday has been delayed after the Air Resources Board declared a no-burn status for the area.
The Santa Barbara County Fire Department has issued a burn permit to the RIA to conduct a prescribed burn of approximately 90 acres.
The burn was scheduled to begin about 9 a.m. Tuesday. The project is located on the Bar-M Ranch, approximately 2 miles south of Los Alamos. Members of the RIA will be conducting the burn.
The Santa Barbara County Fire Department has coordinated and assisted the Range Improvement Association for many years with these types of projects. These burns offer many training opportunities to Fire Department personnel and help develop positive working relationships with members of our communities.
Weather conditions are expected to change later in the week to afford a more favorable weather pattern to conduct the burn.
— Capt. David Sadecki is a public information officer for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.

TORONTO - The Vancouver Whitecaps have made it clear: "It's important to us," head coach Martin Rennie said of Wednesday's first leg of the Canadian Cup final.
So important the first-year manager rested a number of starters in a 4-1 loss at New England on the weekend as the Caps get set to welcome Toronto FC to Vancouver's BC Place in a repeat of last year's Cup final.
"We see it as a way to get into the CONCACAF Champions League and a chance to win a trophy. Some of what we did (Saturday) was based on that," Rennie concluded.
The Scotsman rested starting centre back Martin Bonjour at Gillette Stadium and didn't bother travelling captain Jay DeMerit, John Thorrington or creative attacker Camilo ahead Toronto's midweek visit.
Rennie's decision to put an emphasis on Wednesday's opening leg could backfire if his side fails to come away with a positive result ahead of the all-important return leg in Toronto next week.
And after watching his side get scorched for four by a mediocre Eastern Conference club, failure to capture Vancouver's first Voyageurs Cup could have massive ramifications after admittedly tossing aside league points.
It has to irk Rennie that the same player he pink-slipped right before the season came back to bag a brace and add an assist in the above mentioned rout.
Speaking with the Sun before pre-season camp at BC Place, Lee Nguyen said he was focused on settling into his new digs in the Pacific Northwest after the Whitecaps won his rights in a weighted lottery.
"I'm looking to earn a spot in Vancouver and hopefully have a long career there," he said last December.
"I've talked to Martin Rennie "¦ and they're excited to see me."
The same can't be said for Saturday after Nguyen opened the scoring for New England and added sure bet goal-of-the-year candidate late in the match -- a half-volley from distance that froze Joe Cannon to his goal line.
"My goal is to win a starting spot with Vancouver and help them win games," he said back then.
"I think my playing will do the talking."
And it did just that against Vancouver on the weekend.
Head coach Aron Winter has guided Toronto to just six league wins from 42 MLS matches and has collected points in just 26% of his league fixtures since the start of 2011 -- the second worst winning percentage among MLS coaches that have been in charge for at least a season.
That said, Winter's winning percentage in Cup games is an astronomical 65%.
Since beginning last year's Canadian Cup with a pair of wins against FC Edmonton, the Dutchman has accumulated a 10-3-5 record away from MLS with massive away results in Panama, Nicaragua, L.A., Mexico City and Dallas.
The Montreal Impact set a record for soccer attendance for a club match in Canada Saturday. It wasn't difficult with the star-studded L.A. Galaxy in town to pack 60,860 into Olympic Stadium while the club's Saputo Stadium is under construction. Oh yeah, they also earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw to go 12 points up on TFC "¦ Vancouver's BC Place held the previous record between two clubs when 60,342 showed up to watch the Caps battle the Seattle Sounders in the first game at the stadium in 1983 "¦ And it was an emotional weekend in Houston as the Dynamo opened its new 22,000-seat downtown stadium with a 1-0 win over D.C. United. While Toronto FC fans will remember Santos Laguna's lime green seats as being fairly menacing, Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium features bright orange chairs that are semi-blinding to the untrained eye "¦ Did anyone else see New York's Rafa Marquez tell Philly's Freddy Adu "that's bad, man" after being sent off for simulation yesterday? I seem to remember a certain Mexican being suspended to start the season for a similar matter stemming from last year's MLS Cup final "¦ It's like the NHL and MLS have teamed to issue more match bans than ever this season. We've seen an extraordinary number of MLS suspensions this year and there's no reason to believe Kansas City's Roger Espinoza shouldn't face the same following a flying elbow in Chicago Saturday. After successfully winning a tackle, the Honduran international flew in with his elbow raised and purposely struck the Fire's Sebastian Grazzini across the jaw. A three-game ban is a must, but you have to wonder if the league will take the dirty midfielder's priors into account.
The TFC league catastrophe takes a back seat to the first leg of Canadian Cup final in Vancouver Wednesday, but has Toronto taken full advantage?
Gifted a weekend off while their counterparts laboured to a 4-1 thumping in Boston, the Reds were given four days off over the weekend.
While there's something to be said for rest, there's also something to be said for intelligent preparation on the training pitch, especially following an 0-8-0 league start.
After looking sharp last week against the Impact, a lack of training time could come back to haunt Winter, who may have over-issued his players time away from the game.
