Today being the Fourth of July, we expect to see fireworks and parades. Georgia football has had its share of fireworks through the years, if we talk about individual performances and astonishing victories. With that in mind we asked the staff and DawgNation's readers:
"What is the biggest fireworks display, figuratively speaking, you have seen at a Georgia football game?"
David Ching: I'd have to say it was the 2007 Blackout game against Auburn. Because of the final score, people often forget that Georgia didn't play very well in that game until it flipped the switch midway through the third quarter. And when it did, holy cow. Touchdown after touchdown. Impromptu sideline dancing to "Soulja Boy" that got everyone on the home sideline and throughout the stadium hyped. I've never been in a stadium that was as electric as it was in Sanford that night in the fourth quarter. It was unforgettable.
Radi Nabulsi: My first response would be the Blackout, or the 1991 Georgia game against Clemson in Sanford Stadium. I was in the stands and not working. That game was special, as freshman quarterback Eric Zeier came off the bench to lead the unranked Bulldogs to an upset of the No. 6 Tigers. Clemson had the No. 1 defense in the land, and Georgia won 27-12 in a rollicking night game. As if that weren't enough, at some point during the game the stadium announcer let everyone there know that the Atlanta Braves had just won the Nation League West for the first time in 22 years. People went crazy. After that my memory gets really fuzzy.
But I would say the greatest fireworks display was the 2006 Georgia vs. Auburn game at Jordan Hare Stadium. The Bulldogs had lost a heartbreaker to Kentucky the week before, and the 9-1 Tigers were ranked No. 5 in the nation. Georgia had lost four of its last five games, giving up 19 turnovers, and Auburn was looking to move up in the BCS rankings. Will Muschamp was Auburn's defensive coordinator. The feeling going into the contest was that Auburn was going to make mincemeat of the reeling Bulldogs. And it was going to rain.
The fireworks came from both sides of the ball for Georgia. The defense picked off Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox four times. Safety Tra Battle had three of those interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. Cox would only complete four passes to his teammates. Georgia freshman Matthew Stafford on the other hand, went 14-for-20 with a touchdown. The harder it rained, the better he played. At one point he ran for 39-yard gain, winding up with 83 yards rushing for the day. Unexpected fireworks are often the best.
Kipp Adams: To me, "Fireworks" brings thoughts of a big release and the game with the most release for most Georgia fans would have be the 1997 Georgia vs. Florida game. Since Vince Dooley had left the Georgia program and Steve Spurrier had begun his tenure at Florida, the Dogs had not found a way to notch a win versus the hated Gators.
Spurrier had a blast taunting Georgia fans with his verbal jabs about their program, from players to fans, even coaches. The Gators' head coach had even gloated after a dominating performance in Sanford Stadium that he had "hung half a hundred" on the Bulldogs on their home field.
Under these conditions, the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party had become somewhat of a fait accompli in the eyes of the entire college football world, including fans of both programs and, most definitely, those that set the odds for college football in Vegas. What had once been a brutal rivalry with Georgia battling for hard-fought victories had become a one-sided affair. The talented 1997 Bulldogs -- the team would place many players in the NFL -- came in as a 20 point underdog.
The Bulldogs not only defeated the Gators that afternoon, they completely turned the tables on Florida in a 20-point victory, 37-17. With Hines Ward in what was a "Wild Dog" formation before the term was en vogue, and Robert Edwards racking up four touchdowns and 135 yards, the Bulldogs showed that they still had some bite left against one of the most talented teams of the era.
It might have been a huge sigh of relief for most of Bulldog Nation, but the performance of the entire team, and especially Robert Edwards, was explosive. It made enough of a noise that it caused the entire country to take notice of the program -- at least for a week.
Todd Miller: The beat-down of LSU in 2004. The stadium was shaking that day.
Jonathan Branch: Georgia vs. Florida in 2007. Watching that team, the whole team, rush the end zone was probably the most unexpected thing I've ever seen happen. And it was against Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin and Urban Meyer -- just an added bonus.
Dale Shedd: Hands down, the BLACKOUT vs. Auburn, when the Dawgs rushed onto the field! I get chill bumps now thinking about that!
Torrone Heard: In 2003, Sean Jones' 95-yard fumble return for a touchdown in Knoxville, Tenn., seconds before halftime.
Aimee Howell Birdsong: The 2001 "Hobnail Boot" play in Tennessee is up there, too.
robddavis79 The 2007 Cocktail Party against Florida when Georgia danced in the end zone after taking the first score of the game! It is actually the first "memorable celebration" listed on Wikipedia under the definition of touchdown celebrations. Georgia took over from that moment, and Florida never had a shot. The energy created in that moment by the players was so strong and intense. You could see it on Mark Richt's face, in the way the fans cheered, hear it in Larry Munson's voice, and even feel it through the TV. It was this mesmerizing force that made it truly great to be a Georgia Bulldog on that day.
Dustin Newton: The Blackout vs. Auburn in 2007. I saw an 80-year-old doing the "Crank That Soulja Boy" dance in the seats next to us. Greatest noise Sanford Stadium has ever produced.

First impressions--Accent SE Hatchback
By uptowndoug on
Vehicle2012 Hyundai Accent SE 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewI considered a number of sub-compacts, including the Honda Fit, Kia Soul, Toyota Yaris and Ford Fiesta before deciding on the Accent hatchback SE. Main considerations were price, fuel economy and warranty length.
It's only real competitor for me was the Kia Soul, but at only 34 mpg and about a grand more, I chose the Accent.
I paid $16,900 in Sacramento CA for a brand new one with nearly all the options available.
So far, after two weeks, here are some first impressions.
Two fill ups and about 800 miles:
only getting 30mpg so far combined city and freeway.
Smooth riding, plenty of pep.
Comfy, plenty of leg and head room.
Stereo could be more powerful. Ipod lacks volume.
Best FeaturesThe warranty is (with Kia) the best in the industry. (They still tried to sell me a $1500 upgrade which I declined.) Storage space w/seats down is substantial. A trip to San Francisco with 5 passengers showed it could go up hills in cruise mode with no problems. But the car is not made for long distances w/3 people in the back (1 child). I didn't buy it for that anyway. Has plenty of power, can hit 80 easily on freeway, cruise control very effective. Turning radius is exceptional--I drove a Ford Windstar for years, couldn't do a U turn on a landing strip without backing up once. I'm 6'2", plenty of headroom and leg room. Way better than the Honda Fit.
Worst FeaturesStereo should have more power. Ipod volume is weak. Is that because of the Ipod or the stereo? Don't know. When rear seats fold down, it could be flatter, like the Fit. Also, the magic seat of the Fit should be emulated.

In reference to your Feb. 4 article about the airport expansion, I would like to comment on the following quote made by an anonymous individual -- ''The airport is a toy for a few people who fly private planes, other than that it's a total loser as far as commercial flying is concerned.'' This is a complete and total misrepresentation of the facts.
Do you realize how many companies fly into Athens on a weekly basis? Johnson & Johnson, Cooper Tire, Georgia Crown, Georgia-Pacific, and all the major restaurant chains, just to name a few. Not to mention all the companies who fly in courting other well-established businesses, or those who come to investigate the area for possible business opportunities, which is a very good thing for all of Athens-Clarke County. Do you realize that most of the industry we have here, generating jobs and income for the entire community, got started in Athens because there was an airport here to base the company planes?
The problem is, as Mayor Eldridge explains in the article, ''we don't have the facilities'' for executives to meet at the airport. Don't you think that is a factor they take into account when deciding whether or not to invest money into our town? Corporate executives don't like inconveniences.
There are also aircraft based out of Athens that make medical flights on a daily basis to specialized facilities in Augusta and Atlanta. Are you telling the patients who fly that our airport is just a toy for a few private pilots? Do you think the FAA would give us a grant to keep the control tower open if this were actually the case?
The University of Georgia is also a big customer of Ben Epps field. How do you think basketball teams get to other schools across the nation for daily games? Oh yeah, they drive 800 miles in a couple of hours. Have you ever been out to the airport during a Georgia football home game? Everybody, including the governor, flies in to watch. Even this newspaper uses our facility for that purpose. I personally watched a good majority of the Athens Daily News/Banner- Herald's sports staff board a plane with team members for the annual Georgia- Florida match down in Jacksonville.
So you see, it's not just US Airways using this field commercially, although they make travel a lot more convenient. How long does it take to get to Hartsfield for a flight? An hour, maybe two if the traffic is bad, as it usually is. Then you have to deal with parking fees and lines at check-in and baggage claim. You don't have any of that here and there is plenty of free parking available. Yes, it is a little more expensive, but when you factor in the convenience of a five-to-10 minute drive versus hours, it is definitely worth it.
Athens is also a significant training ground for future commercial pilots. We have three flight schools here where potential pilots can start from the very beginning. In fact, in the last few months we have had six pilots get hired by commercial and corporate companies, including Delta and US Air. Four of these pilots actually started their training here at our ''toy for a few people who fly private planes.'' We also have a large number of aircraft out of the Atlanta airports that come here to practice instrument training and landings. They do this because we are so used to pilots in training due to the flight schools on the field that Atlanta-based students actually get better service here. This is not to say that we are better than our counterparts in Atlanta, just better prepared to handle student pilots.
So, to anyone who is interested in learning how large a contribution Ben Epps actually makes to our community, the airport staff and I welcome you to come out and investigate at any time. We will be more than happy to give you a tour so that you may see just how badly we need updated equipment and facilities. The fact is that the Athens/Ben Epps Airport is a major part of what helps our town continue to flourish. If we don't have the modern facilities we need to welcome visitors and potential business, how can we grow as a city and community?
Today's forum was written by Chris Northrop, an air traffic control specialist at the Athens/Ben Epps Airport.

Review Revue: YOUR SISTER'S really got SOMETHING!
Going to the movies should never, ever be stressful (unless, of course, you're planning on seeing the latest Lars von Trier flick). You want to see something new and relevant so that you can talk it up with your know-it-all friends. But you don't want to sit through the one film that everyone thought would be great, but…isn't. So here is our formula, simplifying the should-you-see-it conundrum:
5 new releases x 2 critical samplings = what you should go see.
Simple enough, right? This week we have bickering sisters, a crew of rappers, a crew of rockers, some Parisian mystery and Salma Hayek.
Synopsis: This festival darling made a splash at both Tribeca and Sundance, featuring the likable Emily Blunt, Mark Duplass (the reluctant Prince of Mumblecore) and Rosemarie DeWitt in a somewhat complicated love spat involving siblings, death and lesbians.
Most typical critique: Christy Lemire, Associated Press:
Even when things get a little crazy and maybe even too soapy, YOUR SISTER'S SISTER always feels like it's rooted in a tangible reality, a place of unpredictability and abiding humanity.
The quote not to miss: Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com:
Mumblecore standard-bearer Lynn Shelton (HUMPDAY) shows promising signs of maturing with this originally executed romantic comedy…the partially improvised dialogue rings like a bell more often than not. Emily Blunt is something of a revelation in an independent-film context where her remarkable talents shine bright.
Should you go see it?
Should be a delight! With 20 out of 21 reviews deemed 'fresh' on Rotten Tomatoes (a whopping 95%), SISTER seems like writer-director Lynn Shelton's best work yet, and HUMPDAY already wasn't half bad (in fact, it was pretty damn good too).
Synopsis: The sensitive and soft-spoken legends of hip hop music — Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West to name but a few — chime in on the state of the industry today in this performance doc (and Sundance alumnus) helmed by first-time director (and TV law enforcer) Ice T.
Most typical critique: Nathan Rabin, AV Club:
[Ice] T has wracked up such an impressive line-up that it's almost easier to name the star rappers who don't appear (50 Cent, for example, is nowhere to be seen)…comfortably inhabiting the role of hip hop elder statesman in front of such luminaries as Eminem, Kanye West, Mos Def, and Redman.
The quote not to miss: Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York:
The general takeaway, occasionally swaddled in pot clouds and boisterous laughter, is that verse-slinging requires serious thought and planning…Don't expect another filmmaker to ever have such access to the gods of hip-hop, so one can only hope for extended extras on DVD.
Should you go see it?
Yes, even if you don't often get down with this music. Ice T has fashioned an authentic documentary looking into the lives of figures whose public personas are as rough-and-tumble as their private selves are warm and lovable (Ice T among them).
Synopsis: She's just a small-town girl, livin' in a lonely world…he's just a city boy, born 'n raised in south Detroit (you get the picture). Plus, Tom Cruise as a heavy metal rock god named Stacee Jaxx).
Most typical critique: Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com:
ROCK OF AGES is an effulgent celebration of fakeness. It isn't trying to be real; it's trying to be faker than any fake thing has ever been before.
The quote not to miss: Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune:
A few days after seeing a screening, I was driving by a billboard for the movie, and I thought, well, who knows? That might be fun. Then I realized I'd already seen it. And forgotten it.
Should you go see it?
Do you like light-as-air Broadway imports? This one is about as straightforward as it gets. There are some mildly entertaining moments (mostly thanks to Alec Baldwin, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise), but the film leaves about the same impression as any of the rock anthems on the soundtrack as performed by an earnestly hopeful (but ultimately ineffectual) contestant on American Idol.
Synopsis: A smoky Parisian mystery involving an anguished American author (played by an anguished Ethan Hawke) who gets caught up in some shady dealings, as well as a shady lady in the 5th arrondissement (Kristin Scott Thomas, in a very cliché role).
Most typical critique: Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly:
[Director Pawlikowski] creates a nice sense of paranoia and multicultural bewilderment that's the welcome tonal opposite of Woody Allen's romanticized MIDNIGHT IN PARIS fripperies.
The quote not to miss: MaryAnn Johanson, The Flick Filosopher:
Oh, deliver us, please, from tiresome male fantasies….What a waste of the awesomeness of Kristin Scott Thomas, reduced to a bit of wank material.
Should you go see it?
You could. By many accounts, this is some of Hawke's best acting in ages (and KS Thomas' worst), in a dark and twisted parable that poses some dark and twisted psychological questions. Just don't expect too many answers.
Synopsis: An international fable by Mathieu Demy, son of filmmaking legends Agnès Varda and Jacques Demy, dealing with confronting the ghosts of the past. Fellow children-of-filmmakers Geraldine Chaplin and Chiara Mastroianni co-star, along with a scintillating Salma Hayek as a dancer in Tijuana.
Most typical critique: Bill Weber, Slant Magazine:
This odd hybrid of in-search-of-mother quest and lurid border-town pulp shows a humane intimacy mostly in touches borrowed from the filmmaker's estimable parents.
The quote not to miss: Peter Debruge, Variety:
[Protagonist] Martin's personal journey finds a fresh angle on a universal piece of wisdom. Every mother's son believes he's the star of his own life; AMERICANO captures that humbling moment where one realizes perhaps he has only been a bit player in his parents' story, not the star, as initially believed.
Should you go see it?
It's a mixed bag. This is a thinking man's journey film, in an interior as well as literal sense, but the director's perspective seems a little hobbled by his position as the son of filmmakers with a slightly more lasting legacy than his own.

Di Montezemolo to increase F1 involvement
16 April 2014 – Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has revealed that he is going to be more hands-on with the F1 programme from now on as the Scuderia looks to return to winning ways under new Team Principal Marco Mattiacci.
Stefano Domenicali stepped down earlier this week and while the appointment of Mattiacci - the President and CEO of the marque's North American arm – was rather a surprise, Montezemolo believes he can get the job done and has promised to do all he can to help get him up to speed.
"I will assist him," di Montezemolo told Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Sport. "I am going to do what I use to and will stay closer to F1. I will spend more time on it. I am not happy at the moment. I am putting myself on the line, but Mattiacci – our number one in the USA, is the right choice. I chose him in full agreement with [Fiat CEO] Sergio Marchionne. He will do a good job. I'm confident. We will win very soon."
"Now we must roll up our sleeves and work for a competitive return. I expect a great response from the team," he added.
Meanwhile, Montezemolo reiterated his respect for Domenicali: "Stefano had the courage to resign. He obviously pays for the lack of results - it's a rule in sports that you must succeed. But let me remind you that since 2007 we have won three world titles and we have nearly won as many more too, and a couple of them at the season's finale. It is no small achievement and that really must not be forgotten," di Montezemolo remarked.

The recent release of Blues Traveler's ''Truth Be Told'' shows the band has overcome its adversities as new tightly-gelled unit with one of their strongest releases to date.
Not all bands go through what Blues Traveler has gone through in recent years, and the ones that do seldom survive.
Formed in Princeton, N.J., in 1987, Blues Traveler's original line-up - John Popper (harmonica, vocals), Brendan Hill (drums), Chan Kinchla (guitar) and Bobby Sheehan - helped to create a grass-roots, neo-hippie movement best seen today in the jam band world.
All virtuosic players, Blues Traveler took a heavy blues influence and a knack for improvisation to new heights and audiences. Along with establishing itself as a top-notch live act, the band co-founded the HORDE Tour in the early 1990s, which helped put other bands in the same vein - Phish, Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, Col. Bruce Hampton - on the map.
Years of constant touring and five studio records gave Blues Traveler a reputation as a band just as capable of turning heads on stage as it was of catching ears on radio and MTV. The paramount of the band's mainstream success thus far came with the 1995 album ''Four,'' certified six-times platinum, with its hit single ''Run Around'' still holding the record for the longest charting single ever in the history of Billboard.
The success came at a high price, however. The tragic passing of Bobby Sheehan in 1999 and frontman John Popper's struggles with obesity all but insured the band would not see success in the new millennium.
With the help of two new bandmates in bassist Tad Kinchla (brother to guitarist Chan) and keyboardist Ben Wilson, Blues Traveler has persevered tragedy and personal heath problems (Popper dropped more than 100 pounds after gastric bypass surgery) to maintain its presence in the music world.
Blues Traveler
When: Doors open at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7
Where: Georgia Theatre, 215 N. Lumpkin St.
Cost: $20
Call: (706) 549-9918
Advance tickets: Available at Schoolkids Records, 264 E. Clayton St., (706) 353-1666 or online at www.georgiatheatre.com.
With 2001's ''Bridge,'' the group took on recording and touring in a new dynamic. The recent release of ''Truth Be Told'' shows the band has overcome its adversities as new tightly-gelled unit with one of their strongest releases to date.
''It's definitely been an adjustment for everybody,'' says new member Wilson. ''Whenever you add a member it takes time to get used to personally and musically. I think we ran into trouble on 'Bridge.' It wasn't as clean and crisp as it could've been and I think that got worked out a little bit more on 'Truth Be Told.''' He adds he thinks a lot of that had to do with playing live for a year and a half, along with starting to come together as a band.
Produced by Don Gehman, ''Truth Be Told'' shows the new band in top form. Popper's voice is as strong as ever and each track features dazzling musicianship and carries the unique, intelligent arrangements the band has become known for.
While ''Truth Be Told'' may not garner the same mainstream success as ''Four,'' the band still expertly straddles the line that separates delicious bubble gum pop and the jam credibility of tight musicianship.
Though it's impossible to please all the people all the time, few bands have the ability to attract new listeners while still pleasing their road-tested fans the way Blues Traveler can.
''We think about it a lot,'' Wilson says of the band's pop and jam appeal. ''Sometimes our hardcore fans accuse us of trying too hard to write singles and being a pop band. But when we're doing a record we're more about trying to write songs. When we're live, we're more about trying to show off the fact that we can play our instruments more. ... I don't think the band's ever set out to write hits, they wrote songs the way they heard them and that's the way we're doing it now.''
The trial period for the two new members is long over and Blues Traveler indeed has survived, maintaining its double-identity of being a polished studio band along with one of the hottest live shows around.
''Tad and I are full-on members of the band,'' Wilson says, ''we reap the benefits and feel the pain. ... There was a trial period for both of us, but once we started looking ahead it was clear that we are all in this together.''

Lawmakers fear consequences of crisis and bill's failure
Paul Ryan has been studying economics all his life, and he�s never seen a situation like the one the country faces now.
That�s what Congressman Ryan, R-Janesville, told WCLO Radio on Monday afternoon after the House of Representatives rejected a $700 billion bailout bill by 23 votes.
�I think now we�re going to sort of see the consequences of what happens, the consequences of this bill going down,� Ryan told WCLO. �What it means to our 401(k)s, our IRAs, our ability to get loans, businesses� ability to get money to make payroll and other things. This is going to be a shock to our system.�
Ryan spoke passionately in favor of the bill on the House floor Monday after Republicans and Democrats spent the weekend working on a compromise bill.
Rep. Tammy Baldwin also voted for the failed measure, putting her and Ryan in the rare position of being on the same side of an issue.
�Today's legislation was not perfect, but it was a significant improvement over the unacceptable blank check requested by President Bush a week ago,� Baldwin said.
Baldwin, D-Wis., spoke to The Janesville Gazette from an airport Monday on her way home to Madison after the House voted against a bill to bail out the nation�s financial system.
Baldwin said the collapse of the nation�s investment banks was a shocker, and now it�s conceivable that her constituents in the 2nd District could start suffering.
Ryan told the House the original bill asked for a �blank check� for the treasury department. But he said both parties worked to put taxpayer protections, cost-sharing measures and executive compensation limits in the bill.
�This bill offends my principles,� he said. �But I�m going to vote for this bill in order to preserve my principles, in order to preserve this free enterprise system.
�This is a Herbert Hoover moment. He made some big mistakes after the Great Depression, and we lived with those consequences for decades. Let�s not make that mistake.�
Ryan criticized the White House and legislators who voted against the bill in his speech on the House floor and a news release sent out Monday. He accused those voting against the bill of caring more about keeping their jobs than protecting taxpayers� jobs.
�In light of the political expediency of my colleagues and the horrendous failures of the Bush Administration, we will have to roll up our sleeves and go back to the drawing board to enact a meaningful solution to our financial crisis,� he said in the release.
Baldwin raised the specter that small businesses wouldn�t be able to get loans and meet payroll, so people wouldn�t get their paychecks.
Other possible effects before long could be an inability to get student loans and a severe loss of pension value, Baldwin said.
Baldwin said that if the financial markets, lenders and banks react negatively to Monday�s vote, she expects to be called back to Washington as early as Thursday.
On the other hand, �if we don�t see signs of distress, there is probably not a reason for Congress to reconvene to take another try at this,� Baldwin said.
Baldwin said she couldn�t understand why the vote failed. She said key members of both parties, from both House and Senate, had seats at the table as the deal was negotiated.
Also at the table were the Federal Reserve chairman, Treasury secretary, John McCain and Barack Obama, Baldwin said.
Baldwin said everyone headed for the airports right after the vote, so there was no chance for her to find out why so many members of the House voted against the bill.
Baldwin noted that the Senate was scheduled to be in session Thursday: �We�ll be watching them and watching the markets and the other financial sectors that are in financial distress right now,� she said.

Press Release: IMF Renews Standing Borrowing Arrangements and Approves Chile's Participation in the New Arrangements to Borrow
November 13, 2002
The NAB entered into effect on November 17, 1998 (see Press Release No. 98/57). This first renewal of the NAB is for a period of five years from November 17, 2003. In the context of the NAB renewal, the Executive Board also agreed to the admission of Chile as the first new participant in the NAB since its establishment. In assessing Chile's capacity to provide supplementary resources to the IMF, the Executive Board took into consideration, among other criteria, the level of Chile's international reserves and its uninterrupted participation in the IMF's Financial Transactions Plan as a creditor since the mid-1990s and concluded that Chile is well positioned to become a new participant in the NAB. Chile will be the first Latin American country to participate in the NAB and will be represented by the Banco Central de Chile.1
The GAB was established in 1962, and has been renewed every four or five years, most recently on December 26, 1998 (see Press Release No. 97/53). This ninth renewal of the GAB is for a further period of five years from December 26, 2003.The NAB and GAB are credit arrangements between the IMF and a group of members and institutions to provide supplementary resources of up to SDR 34 billion (about US$45 billion) to the IMF to forestall or cope with an impairment of international monetary system or to deal with an exception situation that poses a threat to the stability of that system (see Factsheet Borrowing Arrangements). The total amount of resources available under the NAB will remain unchanged following Chile's participation, with a credit arrangement of SDR 340 million (about US$450 million), as other participants will adjust the amount of their credit arrangements.
1 The NAB participants are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Deutsche Bundesbank, Finland, France, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sveriges Riksbank, Swiss National Bank, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States of America.

Ben Foster Reveals His 'Warcraft' Role as Medivh the Magical Mage
by Ethan Anderton
June 2, 2014
Source: IGN
Production on the Warcraft movie from Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones is already finished, and focus has moved to the extensive post-production process that will include tons of visual effects. With the exception of knowing that the cast includes Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma), Toby Kebbell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Rob Kazinsky ("True Blood"), Paula Patton (Deja Vu), Dominic Cooper (Need for Speed) and Travis Fimmel ("Vikings"), we don't really know anything about the film other than it's based on the popular MMORPG video game (plus we've seen some concept art). Thankfully, one of the film's stars just gushed details about his character, and should be pleased to here what he said. Read on!
Ben Foster recently spoke with IGN where he was asked about his character, and he said:
"The character in Warcraft that I play is named Medivh. He's a mage, which is essentially a sorcerer. He came up in a time protecting an area, and the way he protected this area was through magic. As peace returned to this land he took a break. He hung up his staff, so to speak, or let his guns get dusty. We meet him as his friends are returning asking for his help in a battle."
Foster could have stopped there, but he went on to hype Jones approach to the film saying:
"What's exciting about Duncan Jones' take on this video game is that it shows both sides of the war. It shows both sides of a conflict, which is exciting to me. It's not just a video game turned into a movie. It's asking, hopefully, an important question of, where do we limit our compassion for what we consider to be the bad guys?"
And as some bonus excitement, Foster went out of his way to praise the visual effects work that's already being done, especially the motion-capture performance of several characters that he interacts with:
"The way that they're pushing motion-capture -- I just saw some of the test footage -- it's unlike anything I've ever seen. It's performance-capture. Mine's not, but there are interactions with a lot of characters that are. There are a lot of different kinds of creatures in this picture that I interact with. It pushes it to the next level. It's going to be one helluva 3D event."
If you're one of those who doesn't have much familiarity with World of Warcraft, you're not alone. There will be plenty of mainstream audiences who will be learning about these characters and this world just like any other original fantasy or sci-fi that doesn't have established intellectual property. It'll be interesting to see how a game with such an expansive world is adapted into a feature length film. Legendary Pictures hopes this will launch a new franchise, but that's up to the audiences who may or may not turn up for the film when it hits theaters on March 11th, 2016 after smartly moving away from Star Wars: Episode VII.

Comments about Princeton Children's Brushes:
I usually add 1 or 2 brushes to every order I place. The brushes provide good coverage, wash well and are sturdy. The bristle are coarse; they do not shed!! These brushes are comfortable to hold. The chunky size makes them great for kids to grip. Also great for adults with painful hands or other issues. The price almost put them in the disposable category but they are so good you want to keep them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These brushes are perfect for small hands - and the different colors will help with our goal to use each brush in a separate color - until we start mixing colors to see what happens! :-) Now that I found "Dick Blick" online, I'll plan to order all the arts and crafts supplies for our grandchildren's visits from them. Quick! Pleasant! Good Quality! And so much more reasonable than the arts and crafts chains!

I was cleaning out a desk drawer at home. Every once in a while it makes sense to try and adopt some feng shui in your life, even if it's one desk drawer at a time. I came upon a stack of greeting cards sent to me by a radio guest a few years back.
They were "message" cards designed to offer support for friends and family during challenging times. Throughout the stack were printed affirmations such as "stay strong, expect the perfect outcome," or "even the strongest people need to lean on someone at times." But the very one on top of the deck was perfectly aimed at me and just had to be on top for me to notice it. It read, "I know you're sometimes tired physically, emotionally, spiritually. Take the time you need to recharge. Rest your body, mind and spirit. Great healing is taking place. You only need to relax and let it happen." Yes, here was another gentle reminder from the Universe that slowing down and rediscovering rest is not only a good thing, it is so necessary.
Just last week, I ended a nearly fifteen year on-air run hosting the Sunday evening talk show from 10 to midnight. As most of you know, I am also behind the microphone during the long overnight shifts on Fridays and Saturdays. It adds up to a lot of wear and tear and sleep deprivation for even the fittest of individuals (as any shift worker knows).
For most of my adult life I have worked weekends in addition to a full time weekday job running a production studio. I have patted myself on the back for years, relishing my identification as one of "hardest working guys in radio." Turns out, like so many people, I fooled myself into thinking this kind of schedule can continue forever. I credit my lasting through a 7-day week with insane hours to a strong body with healthy genes, clean living and a healthy supply, perhaps an overabundance of adrenalin. But I'm here to tell you my dear readers something you all already know. That no one cheats time and nature for too long. This finely tuned, nutritionally balanced, lean and mean body of mine finally had enough and sent me signals that it was time to slow down. For me, cutting out that one radio shift means a return to healthy, rejuvenating sleep at the end of a busy weekend, a freeing up of several hours of prep work for this one show, a chance to be with my wonderful family and friends for one full day without needing to rush back to work, a chance to breathe.
I'm still quite active and busy but have taken a closer look at priorities and have taken to doing some much needed internal feng shui work. I am no longer lunging after every single opportunity, feeling responsible for the needs of so many strangers. Instead, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that in order to thrive, I need to sort out what is not only important but that which will bring me the most meaning. A recent guest Dr. Matthew Edlund, an expert on sleep and rest, spoke of research that proves Americans are overworked, overstressed and not getting enough rest, let alone sleep. He made the cogent point that humans are often compared to machines and shouldn't be. Replace a machine's part or battery cell and you can expect it to resume peak performance. Or, despite your efforts, when the machine conks out, toss it and buy a new one. We humans don't have the option of tossing the body we have and exchanging it for a new one. We can certainly add or transplant parts, but without nurturing and self-care, we're likely to go the way of an overworked toaster-oven and burn out early.
So, no big life lesson here, just a friendly reminder from one who is lucky enough to now know something about his limitations. When you're on the ride and moving fast with the wind at your back, it's easy to forget that every fast car has to slow down sooner or later. Nothing is forever, but with rest and time to unwind, the present moment can be so much more enjoyable. Take good care of yourself. Employ self-empathy and slow down. It's so good for the soul and so vital for the body.

Valencia showing positive signs in Minors
Valencia showing positive signs in Minors
Valencia was optioned to Rochester on May 9 after struggling with the Twins, as he hit .190 with a homer, triple and five doubles in 100 at-bats.
He's been faring better in the Minors, as he entered Monday hitting .268 with two homers and three doubles in 56 at-bats. He overcame an early slump and is hitting .325 with a .341 on-base percentage and .525 slugging percentage over his past 10 games.
"He's doing fine," Gardenhire said. "He's putting some good swings on the ball. He hurt his wrist, but got back at it. So he's hanging in there pretty good. He's driving the ball. I've watched a couple games and saw him bang one off the center-field wall on an 0-2 fastball."
Gardenhire added that Valencia has continued to make progress with his defense, which wasn't his problem in 27 games with the Twins this season.
"He was fine here and was a lot better and working hard at it," Gardenhire said. "We asked him to do that and he's been doing fine down there."

text: (New throughout; adds futures, company news) LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - European shares were set to fall for a fourth straight day on Wednesday, taking their cue from falls in U.S. and Asian shares overnight, as the prospect of a tightening in U.S. monetary conditions unnerved investors at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty. At 0629 GMT, futures for the Euro STOXX 50, Britain's FTSE 100 , Germany's DAX and France's CAC were down between 0.1 percent and 0.4 percent. Asian and U.S. shares fell overnight as markets wagered the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates earlier than expected, sending U.S. bond yields higher and keeping the dollar well bid near 14-month highs against a basket of major currencies. EU countries will discuss on Wednesday whether to implement new sanctions against Russia over its role in the Ukrainian crisis. The sanctions would include restrictions on financing for Russian state-owned oil companies and banks, an expanded list of people whose assets in the EU will be frozen, and new restrictions on the sale of goods that can be used for both military and civilian purposes. Apple suppliers such as ARM Holding will be in focus after the U.S. firm unveiled a watch, two larger iPhones and a mobile payments service on Tuesday. After an early surge, Apple shares closed lower. Shares in Apple's Japanese suppliers initially fell in Tokyo before turning higher, along with the rest of the market, after the yen plumbed its weakest levels for six years against the dollar. The Euro STOXX 50 has been pulling back since hitting a two-month high on Thursday, when the European Central Bank cut its interest rates and president Mario Draghi unveiled new stimulus measures. "The U.S. and Asia are not contributing to a positive momentum and the initial Draghi reaction is wearing off," Mike Reuter, a broker at Tradition, said. "I think we'll be weakish at the open and with more EU sanctions looming later today we might as well remain there." COMPANY NEWS * TECH SECTOR: Apple Inc unveiled a watch, two larger iPhones and a mobile payments service on Tuesday as Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook seeks to revive the technology company's reputation as a wellspring of innovation. * BARRATT DEVELOPMENTS - The British housebuilder said it predicted a return to more normal seasonal trends in Britain's housing market as it posted a full-year pretax profit up over 100 percent. * KINGFISHER - Europe's largest home improvements retailer said longstanding chief executive Ian Cheshire would step down before the end of its financial year and be succeeded by Veronique Laury, the boss of French unit Castorama.

The company said passenger traffic at Frankfurt airport rose 5.4 percent in August. * BAE Systems - Nearly two years after the merger of BAE Systems with rival EADS fell apart, BAE's U.S. unit on Tuesday said it is focused more on winning orders in key product lines than through mergers and acquisitions. * BARCLAYS - Index provider Standard & Poor's and financial information services provider Markit Ltd MRKT.O have emerged as final bidders for Barclays index business, which could fetch more than $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. * BMW - An electric version of the Mini that will move the classic British car further away from its original design will have to wait at least six months for a possible green light, a BMW board member said on Tuesday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MARKET SNAPSHOT AT 0637 GMT: LAST PCT CHG NET CHG S&P 500 1,988.44 -0.65 % -13.1 NIKKEI 15788.78 0.25 % 39.63 MSCI ASIA EX-JP 505.52 -1.19 % -6.11 EUR/USD 1.2929 -0.05 % -0.0006 USD/JPY 106.44 0.24 % 0.2600 10-YR US TSY YLD 2.507 -- 0.01 10-YR BUND YLD 1.001 -- 0.00 SPOT GOLD $1,257.15 0.1 % $1.21 US CRUDE $92.79 0.04 % 0.04 > ASIA STOCKS TAKE FRIGHT ON FED ANXIETY, DOLLAR SHINES > WALL ST ENDS LOWER AS APPLE FALLS, BOND YIELDS RISE > NIKKEI FALLS ON WALL ST WEAKNESS; APPLE SUPPLIERS SLIP > SHORT-TERM YIELDS RISE ON EXPECTATIONS FOR HAWKISH FED > AUSSIE DOLLAR SLUMPS TO 5-MONTH LOW AS USD FLEXES MUSCLE > GOLD STRUGGLES NEAR 3-MONTH LOW ON FED RATE HIKE FEARS > BATTERED LME METALS STEADY AS DOLLAR RALLY COOLS > BRENT EDGES UP ABOVE $99, BUT DEMAND WORRIES LINGER (Reporting By Francesco Canepa; Editing by Atul Prakash)

Yep, those are good points. I've never sold a game. I hoard them, even if I don't like them (ok, I threw away Dungeon Lords, but that was a one time thing). However, with MS telling me that I can't do whatever I want with my $60 piece of plastic, I'm not going to be buying an XBO.
I think that MS saw how well Valve was doing without the ability to resell or lend and thought they could get away with it. The big differences are that people don't need to buy expensive Valve hardware to play their games and due to the nature of the PC, don't need to exclusively buy from Valve. If PC gamers could only buy games from Valve and could only play them on $500 Valve hardware, that would cause problems.
Once the cat dies, the toast wins.

School Pays Zero Down for Large-Scale Solar Projects
Thomas College is excited about the large solar array installed on their campus by ReVision Energy at zero upfront cost. The system is financed through a power purchase agreements (PPA), which enable schools and non-profits to acquire solar energy systems at a fraction of the normal cost. In Waterville, Thomas College is getting 700 panels installed and is the largest solar electric installation in the state of Maine.
The funding process to make this project a reality has taken years to develop, and has been helped by the dramatically declining costs of photovoltaic panels. Projects of this scale are common in California, Colorado, New York, and Massachusetts, but until now have been uncommon in Maine, where there is no effective SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Credit) market.
Non-profits are ineligible for most of the incentives available to homeowners and businesses - those include a 30% federal tax credits and rebates of up to $2,000 for homes and $4,000 for businesses.
Most residential solar electric arrays consist of anywhere from 10-30 panels. So what do you do with 700? Project Manager Brian Byrne talks about his approach to Thomas College: "It seems big at first, but when you start breaking it down to a bunch of smaller projects, it's the same thing that we do every day," Brian says, "It all goes up one panel at a time!"

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- White team defensive line coach Scott Earley is starting off the New Year in a happy mood. His D-line was dominant from start to finish of the first day of practice for the 2012 UA All-America Game.
"There's a lot of raw talent but guys across the board with a very nice skill set," Earley said. "They all have great upside. It was a very good first day."
It starts with the nation's top prospect, defensive end Mario Edwards (Denton, Texas/Billy Ryan). About 20 minutes into practice, it just seemed to click for the 6-foot-4, 270-pound FSU commit and he just took over.

With 2013 drawing to a close, UK citizens can reflect on an eventful financial year, with a revamped property market, low interest rates and historic levels of debt all being key occurrences.
The New Year is usually matched by new financial goals, re-invigorated endeavour in monetary activities and an altogether new set of aims that are hoped to be met by the end of the year.
But what courses of action should you look at doing going into 2014, and what things are worth bearing in mind when planning ahead? Below are some key tips to consider when creating your goals for next year, with a pro-active attitude with your personal debt, mortgage and savings all advisable to ensure financial stability moving forward in the future.
Tackle your debt head on
The country's current collective personal debt levels are estimated to be over £1 trillion, indicating that a lot of work needs to be done by banks, the government and people alike to ensure they are prepared for when interest rates rise.
Tackling your debt head on and looking to clear your outstanding balances should be considered essential going into the New Year, as you will have to ensure these are kept at a low before you can begin a meaningful savings program.
Even if you do not have a high level of disposable income, there are a number of small steps you can take in order to tackle your debt head on, and these would be extremely beneficial for your financial standing in the long term.
Starting up a direct debit scheme on your loan repayments would be a sure fire way of ensuring at least you allocate a small portion of your income towards it, and you can decide how much this is to make the process more flexible.
If you are currently someone who has a loan with a relatively high interest rate, then make sure you do not just pay the minimum monthly payment because your balance will still steadily rise due to interest charges being applied to your account.
As much you can, avoid taking out any further credit lines, and avoid taking money out of a cash machine because this can incur higher charges as well. If you do have to use credit, make sure you do not go higher than 20% of your total agreed limit as this will hopefully reduce reliance on credit and leave you with less debt to address in the future.
If you have high interest loans that are mounting up, using a 0% balance transfer card could ensure that you gain the time to gather money to make meaningful monthly repayments. There are many introductory offers being dished out by banks at the moment and might be well suited to you if your debt sizes are soaring each month through interest charges.
Make movements with your mortgage
Even though an interest rate rise from the Bank of England is severely unlikely in 2014, it is inevitable that it will happen in the next three years, and as such those who have acquired mortgages with low interest rates in recent times will be faced with significantly higher monthly repayments when it does eventually happen.
As such, planning your finances in advance now should be regarded as essential, and as much as you can set aside in savings is advisable because you will have a less shaky transition to higher payments in the future.
Overpaying if you have the finances to do so will mean you have less secured debt to pay interest on in the future, whilst considering a switch to a long term fixed deal might give you enough time to improve your income and financial situation for the interest rise. The base rate in the country is currently a historic low of 0.5%, so those on STV deals should capitalise on this and try and overpay whilst it is still viable to do so.
This is a view shared by David Hollingworth of London & Country, who argued: 'You should be looking to get a better deal even if you are not moving because you may not have looked at the mortgage in a while. Mortgage rates are so low you could be making a saving and preparing for when the base rate climbs.'
Set up your savings
2013 has been a torrid time for UK savers, who have suffered significantly low interest rate offerings on savings accounts due to banks enjoying alternate funding via the Bank of England's Funding for Lending Scheme. This has meant that they no longer felt the need to offer attractive saving deals because the money was no longer needed, but with bank governor Mark Carney announcing the end of mortgage funding via the scheme, saving offerings are set to bolstered going forward into the new year.
Furthermore, it was announced earlier this month that inflation had again fallen to 2.1%, meaning that the value of your savings has risen as well.
If you are apprehensive about committing to a long term fixed savings deal, then it might be worth looking at an ISA, where the allowance has doubled to £11,880 next year.
Being able to have a meaningful savings plan is dependent on not having too high levels of creditor debt, so make sure you get this down to a low before allocating your valuable funds into savings.

The Hop app aims to reimagine email as a series of conversations, similar to iMessages or chat apps we're all used to. It filters for conversations from real people and presents them as coherent timelines, rather than as individual back-and-forth messages. The app now supports multiparty emails called Hop Groups, which allow you to isolate those group conversations in your email in the same manner.
Signal to Noise
The basic premise of the Hop app is to weed out noise and let you focus on what's most important in your inbox: conversations with real people. The app groups messages and presents them in a coherent timeline, so you see a full thread of communication with each of the people or brands you care about, rather than a cluttered list of individual items in your inbox. These timelines can be used to share text-based messages, documents, and images, and are searchable so you can easily put your hands on important info.
Better Together
The new Hop Groups feature allows users to define a group, such as workout friends, family, project coworkers, or any other collection of people. Communication with that group works just like a group chat, with all participants always included. These group conversations can include extra information such as documents, links, or video/audio attachments, and the timeline arrangement makes it easy to see and search the group's communication through time. Because you pick up an existing conversation, the risk of forgetting to CC somebody in a traditional group email is eliminated.
Hops is available for free from the App Store, and can be used across multiple devices. Everything gets stored in the cloud, so your conversations are available within the Hop app as well as in your traditional email inbox. Check out the hop website for full details and to sign up.
