Although genre fans mostly know him as a horror filmmaker, Stuart Gordon's "King of the Ants" is most definitely not a horror film — at least not in the traditional sense. But if you were to delve deep enough, I suppose the film's horrific interpretation of human nature gone amok (or is that liberated?) could be considered horror in its most animalistic terms. There's certainly nothing un-horrific about a grown man using the head of a fellow human being to practice his golf swing. Oh sure, the guy might claim it's all for the purpose of eliciting information, but one suspects the gratuitous torture has less to do with getting said information than it is a need to maim for the sake of maiming.
Chris McKenna stars as Sean, a young man drifting between jobs painting houses. After a chance encounter — or was it? — with Norm — er, I mean, Duke (George Wendt), Sean "lucks" into a job offer from shady construction businessman Ray (Daniel Baldwin). The job: follow a city official (Ron Livingston) around town. All goes fine, until one day Sean spots the official's pretty wife Susan (Kari Wuhrer) and falls immediately in lust. It isn't long before Ray comes to Sean with another officer: kill the official in exchange for cash. Being that he's an aimless bloke without any prospects, Sean accepts, but only after stuttering his way to a meager cash settlement of $13,000.
At this point it's next to impossible to talk about "King of the Ants" in any detail without spoiling its three acts. As a narrative, "Ants" is straightforward; if anything, writer Charlie Higson, adapting from his own novel, follows the 3-act structure almost to the "T". Sean is recruited in Act I; the bad guys turn on him in Act II; and Act III provides a faux resolution before the real resolution — i.e. Sean's retribution on his tormentors. So I don't think I'm spoiling too much by saying that after he's double-crossed by Duke and Ray, Sean is tortured for days. After escaping his captors, Sean manages to worm his way into Susan's life, but predictably, this doesn't last.
"King of the Ants" marks a departure for Stuart Gordon. The man who has given us wacky horror films like "Re-Animator" and some straight gothic-themed ones ("Dagon") has found real human nature to be scarier than made-up goblins. "Ants" looks every bit like the independent film that it is, with no Hollywood gloss to be found. Gordon has elected to shoot the film almost exclusively with handheld cameras, which at times gives the movie a cinema verit' feel. When the torture starts, the barebones look of the movie serves it well, bringing through the feel of dread and utter fear that the main character is suffering through.
If "Ants" is an "R" film, then it must be a strong "R". "King of the Ants" is not only violent, but the violence is shown in such stark, in your face detail that it may unsettle some viewers. Most definitely benefiting from its lack of a Hollywood budget, "Ants" couldn't have worked if the sets were too polished or the cameras too "steadycam'med". This movie is not for children. Or anyone with a weak stomach for that matter. The tortures are graphic and the results on Sean are not the least bit pretty. By the end of the ordeal, you'd be hardpressed to recognize the "face" of our anti-hero.
A lot of credit for what makes "King of the Ants" work goes to relative newcomer Chris McKenna, who gives an excellent performance as Sean. McKenna does brilliantly as a character that is far from sympathetic, not to mention proving to be every bit as immoral when the price is right, or when something he wants is on the line. There's very little doubt that Sean knows his own nature, even if it takes brutal torture to make him realize it. Although he was approached to perform his misdeeds, it's readily apparent Ray and Duke are just enablers, and not the cause of Sean's sociopathic urges.
Rounding out the cast is perennial B-grade players Daniel Baldwin (younger brother of Alec) and Kari Wuhrer (looking very natural these days). Of note is the villainous turn by George Wendt, who was so believable as the nasty and vile Duke that I quickly forgot his character from "Cheers". Norm is dead, my friends. Of the supporting cast, Wuhrer has less to do, appearing briefly in the beginning and then disappearing almost completely until the third act. The same goes for Baldwin and his two employees-slash-hoods. Who knew over-the-hill construction workers were so ready to commit such terrible crimes?
"King of the Ants" is not your average Stuart Gordon film. If anything, it's probably Gordon's most ambitious movie in terms of characters. While some of the movie does seem unnecessarily gratuitous — Wuhrer's sex scene and multiple full frontal nudity by McKenna comes to mind — much of the film really needs to be shot as is to be effective. It's not a pretty movie by any stretch, but then again neither is its subject matter.

Kari Wuhrer …. Susan Gatley

4.2 guide works fine, i've always been on 4.2 and no problems to date
hello everyone. I just bought a Wii and am very interested in modding it, but it's at Firmware Version 4.2u... Do I use the 4.2 guide or would it be a more intelligent choice to somehow downgrade to 4.1 or something?
i agree fully with pob3008, im on 4.2 no problems at all
A word to the wise ain't necessary ... it's the stupid ones that need the advice - Bill Cosby
Don't downgrade, just use the guide in my sig.
If you're new to Wii modding, then downgrading could be dangerous for you to attempt, notice how junkmail has a capitol D on Don't downgrade.

LastPass: Security done wrong
Altogether it looks like LastPass is a lot better at PR than they are at security. Yes, that's harsh but this is what I've seen so far. In particular, security vulnerabilities have been addressed punctually, only the exact scenario reported has been tested by the developers. This time LastPass has driven it to an extreme by fixing a critical bug in their Chrome extension and announcing the fix even though the exact same exploit was working against their Firefox extension as well. But also with the bugs I reported previously nobody seemed to have an interest in going through the code base looking for other instances of the same issue, let alone taking obvious measures to harden the code against similar attacks or reconsidering the overall approach.
Or what I call: Security through Self-Confidence.
A Good Vimrc
Some good tips here that I'll be implementing in my own .vimrc:

Ticketing, bug tracking, and version control systems provided secrets (e.g. cryptographic keys, seeds, hashes, credentials, and source code)
Cookies from weak non-production instances (e.g. staging) were valid in production as cryptographic materials were the same — bypassing 2FA
Client certificates (exposed by email, ticketing, or lifted from filesystems) were combined with known credentials to access corporate VPNs
Engineering credentials were used to commit backdoors to version control which were self-approved and later deployed into production

Gas prices increase
Gasolene prices in Jamaica will go up by 23 cents effective tomorrow.
This will see a litre of E-10 87 gasolene being sold for $99.31 while E-10 90 gasolene will be sold for $100.96 per litre.
Petrojam says the upward movement in the prices is as a result of changes in the US Gulf reference prices.
Meanwhile, the price of automotive diesel oil has been increased by 94 cents and that fuel will sell for $102.88 per litre.
A litre of kerosene oil will sell for $105.77 following a 94-cent increase.
In the meantime, propane cooking gas will move up by 15 cents and will now sell for $44.18 per litre.
Butane has been increased by 33 cents per litre and will sell for $59.15.
Retailers will add their mark-ups to the announced prices.

Space doesn't come cheap in Fairfield, Conn.: Homes sell for a median price of $395,000, but that's still lessexpensive than the real estate from other towns in this metro hub, which includes some of the wealthiest north of New York City.
Fairfield's economic development office provides technical support and financial aid to new or expanding businesses with five or fewer employees. Thriving retail and service startups serve the city's moneyed residents (whose median family income is $100,920), so it's no wonder longtime successful industries include finance, insurance, and real estate. The development of a new commuter rail station and a commercial office space just off I-95 promise to create new business opportunities when it is complete in a few years. General Electric, a major employer in the area, and the city's two universities - Fairfield and Sacred Heart - provide a crop of skilled labor.
Fairfield is 50 miles from New York City and 25 miles from New Haven, where Yale University is located. But city itself also has lots to offer, including a classic New England downtown, with parades, concerts on the green, and independent shops; five miles of coastline on Long Island Sound, dotted with five town beaches; and a golf course that is among the best in the nation. -Lisa Palmer

Some UNIX shells may require quotes around wildcard parameters and some will not. For example, the C shell tries to expand arguments containing wild cards (*, ?) as files and will fail if no match is found. These pattern matching arguments may need to be enclosed in quotes to be passed to commands like mboxutil.
For example:
mboxutil -l -p user/usr44*
will work in the Bourne shell, but will fail with tsch and the C shell. These shells would require the following:
mboxutil -l -p "user/usr44*"
If a command using a wildcard pattern doesn't work, verify whether or not you need to use quotes around wildcards for that shell.

When I first started Juggling in Heels, I started it for a number of reasons. I had just had my third child and was extremely involved in the newborn, preschool and married life. I thought perhaps a blog could be a great outlet for me that would be me…not mom or wife. Just me. I also have a thing for fashion and I felt that just because we become moms, our style doesn't have to be sacrificed. Another reason was honesty. I felt that moms were not always honest about motherhood and I wanted to create a platform to be real and let others know that they are not alone in this crazy motherhood world. Finally, I had just transitioned to part time working instead of full time and to be honest, I was a bit afraid of the "extra time". I thought about starting a blog for a bit and then the name Juggling in Heels popped in my head and I went for it.
Over the last few years, I have been able to experience things I would have never imagined. I still remember the day when the Bloomingdale's PR Manager at South Coast reached out to have me host an event with them. I was floored that Bloomingdale's wanted to work with me and I could not have been more excited. Numerous events followed with incredible designers and stores but this first one was incredibly special to me. I also remember when the January 2012 issue of Orange Coast came out and I was featured on a three page spread. Again, something I would have never ever imagined happening. Like the Bloomingdale's event, I have since been in a number of publications that I will hold on to forever but I will forever be grateful to Orange Coast for seeing something in me at the start of all this and giving me a voice in their magazine. Finally, this year, I had the opportunity to work with Aveeno Skincare and create three ads/videos for them. I still get giddy when I think about it and the opportunity.
Through each project, the most important part is that I have met some incredible people. PR Managers, Boutique Owners, Designers, other Bloggers. The list of amazing women that I have met and been able to work with while writing JIH is the most incredible gift I have been given. These women are making such an impact in our community, our country and our world and they are a blessing to me and so many others. There is no greater gift than friendship and I could not be more grateful for this.
Then finally, there is you. The most important piece of this entire puzzle. Thanks to your support through reading, commenting, and sharing, I have been able to achieve all of this. It would have never happened with out my readers. I am indebted to all of you for your love and support over the years. I have shared a lot and have never felt judged, only supported, which in this pretty crazy internet world, is amazing. YOU are the reason JIH has become what it is and I thank you for the bottom of my heart for believing in me.
Then here we are today.
Life is changing for me. JIH began when my children were 7, 4 and 1. They are now 11, 8 and 5. What was a newborn and preschool world is now an elementary and middle school world, filled with friends, sports, activities, and homework. There used to be moments when I would look for things to do while the kids napped. These days I try to find just a second when I can sit down. I am no longer working at all but am now involved in more volunteer work. I was 33 when this all started and next year I will be 38. The stages of life are changing and so I am evolving with it. This means giving up some things that have been so great for so long to provide more opportunity for other amazing things.
In anticipation of 2016, I am beginning to de-clutter my life. It just needs a good cleanse. I think I have been trying to please too many people for too long and I am finally taking the steps to fix this. I remember when volunteering left and right seemed like a good idea but then I began to realize that saying "Yes" too often is not necessarily a good thing. I remember when I couldn't wait to sit down and write a post over cleaning the house or doing laundry but now, it is getting stressful trying to manage it all. And finally, I remember when I couldn't wait to go to a blogging/media event on a weekday night or work with designers and PR Firms but now I have no interest whatsoever in attending events and committing to contracts leads to more chaos and stress. My priorities have shifted and I really want to focus on simply being in the moment with my family. For that reason, I am done with writing Juggling in Heels and this will be my final post.
I won't be getting rid of it completely. I will still post on Instagram and perhaps SnapChat here or there (they are a tad bit fun) and I hope that I can still inspire people through fashion or life's trials and tribulations, it will just be on a much smaller scale. It is time for a shift and I am going to make it.
Thank you thank you for everything you have given this blog the last few years. You will never understand what it has meant to have so much overwhelming support from so many people that I have never met. God gives us blessings in many different ways and you have all been a blessing for me to be able to do something that I love. I am forever grateful.
I hope you all have a very blessed Christmas season and 2016 gifts all of you with love, laughter, joy and hope.

Britain's aircraft carrier force is facing major difficulties in training pilots, with less than half of fliers qualified to land on the vessels, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.
Some pilots who have been flying almost non-stop combat missions in Afghanistan have not landed on a carrier in three years. Only 19 Harrier officers out of a force of 48 have passed the extremely challenging test of a night-time landing on deck.
And almost a quarter of Joint Force Harrier, made up of RAF and Royal Navy pilots, has never landed on an aircraft carrier because of the relentless pace of operations in Afghanistan.
The training lapse has been caused because the force has been fighting the Taliban for longer than any other unit in the British military, after deploying to Kandahar airfield to help special forces since 2004.
While pilots are happy to be on live operations, commanders admit that the constant combat and stress is taking its toll on both men and machines. Cdr Kev Seymour, who heads the Naval Strike Wing in charge of attacks from sea, said he expected to be on operations or exercise abroad for nine out of 13 months.
"It is something weighing on the consciousness that we are getting skill fade across the piece. But if that's what UK Plc wants to do with us then that's what we will do," he said after a sortie from HMS Illustrious, which is exercising in the Arabian Sea.
He warned that it would take "a finite time to regenerate" the skills of carrier pilots, especially in night flying, which requires pinpoint accuracy putting the hovering aircraft on to the rolling deck of the carrier in darkness.
Six pilots have been allowed just three weeks to train off Illustrious, allowing three to become night-time qualified.
Cdre Tom Cunningham, the commander of the Carrier Strike Group, warned of an approaching "cliff edge" in which the force could lose its ability to conduct carrier operations.
He said: "The danger is we can't afford to get to a point that we would lose the core skills of losing the ability to night fly. If we can keep four pilots night qualified you can regenerate from that position, but if we went to the point that no pilots were qualified then you would say now we have a problem."
The officer added that "ideally" he would have wanted half the Harrier pilots training on Illustrious but this was "unrealistic" with the commitments in Afghanistan.

Train depot is longtime Worthington landmark
WORTHINGTON -- As a gathering place during the heyday of passenger train transport and the locale for at least a few celebrity sightings, the Union Pacific Railroad depot in Worthington is rich with history.
But perhaps more remarkably, the 112-year-old building still functions today, serving as home base for train conductors and maintenance staff -- even as a destination for those who care to reminisce.
"People stop in all the time," said train conductor Ryan Hunsaid. "Older people that have ridden the passenger trains come through to see what has changed."
"Honestly, this is one of the nicest depots we have left; they tear them down and put up trailers," he continued. And although the Worthington depot has indeed outlasted many of its contemporaries, depots in remote locations did remain, even as passenger transport waned in the late 1950s.
As former Daily Globe editor Ray Crippen wrote in a recent historical column, even after the Worthington railroad roundhouse was closed in April 1956, "There still were trains stopping at Miloma. The Miloma depot is gone now. There were trains stopping at the depot at Org. Trains were stopping at the depot at Wilder. Everywhere, people were waiting to climb aboard trains. Americans loved trains."
Construction on the railroad itself was under way in 1870, as 600 men worked from May to November to lay tracks between St. James and Sioux City, Iowa. By August, the railroad went as far as Madelia. A few months later, workers were literally stopped in their tracks by a November blizzard.
By 1892, Worthington was abuzz with construction as the community was flooded with new residents. That summer, everyone kept their eyes on the depot known as UP Building 0612, which was then the original, low, woodframe depot erected in the late 1870s.
Crippen wrote: "On June 7, 1892, a gavel pounded the Republican National Convention into session at Minneapolis. When the Republican delegates from the West -- famous senators and illustrious governors among them -- set out for Minneapolis, they stopped, however briefly, at pioneer Worthington. Worthington was where steam engines got coal and water. Worthington was where delegates from Oregon and California and Nevada, from Kansas and Nebraska had opportunity to stretch their legs."
The politicians were perhaps the first in a line of notable folk passing through -- or stranded at -- the Worthington depot.
Herbert Hoover made his final 1932 campaign appearance in St. Paul and rolled through Worthington on his special train, unseen by anyone in the community and likely asleep as he passed the depot.
According to Crippen, "President Woodrow Wilson rolled through Worthington after an appearance at Sioux Falls, but he didn't stop. King Haakon of Norway was here briefly. Red Cloud, the great Lakota chief, had a layover at the Worthington depot on his return from a meeting with President Hayes at Washington."
There were also many military sightings, one the same year the depot was built.
On the afternoon of May 27, 1898, wrote Crippen in his 2009 Memorial Day column, "One thousand area residents crowded at the depot to glimpse two troops of South Dakota's 'Cowboy Cavalry' en route to Georgia in the war with Spain. Someone passed a hat, or several hats. The collection was sufficient to buy 15 boxes of cigars for the young pony soldiers en route to fight the Spaniards."
The women of the Worthington Red Cross Canteen Corps, who had logged 537 hours of service to 1,350 servicemen by mid-1944, were also kept busy with some unexpected guests at the depot.
A military snafu stranded 38 young soldiers at Worthington's depot with no rations.
As Crippen describes, "The women volunteers went into action, first making telephone calls to Canteen Corps workers and other women across the town. A menu was laid out, and there was a call for contributions."
By mealtime, the 38 soldiers were ushered to the National Guard Armory. Worthington moms had prepared a spread of scalloped potatoes and ham, vegetable salad, buttered (homemade) rolls, homemade pickles, homemade jam and a choice of fresh-baked apple pie or mince pie."
By mid-century, the railroad was bustling with activity. During the peak years --before the Chicago & North Western Railroad quit rolling passenger trains from the Twin Cities through Mankato, Worthington, Sioux City and on to Omaha, Neb. -- Worthington was serviced by 16 passenger trains every day.
In 1955, more than 50 people passed through that historic depot daily, with 20,000 people travelling to and from Worthington that year.
Cargo transport was also reportedly high in 1955, with 3,496 carloads of merchandise delivered to Worthington. The community shipped out 1,360 carloads of wares -- mainly grain, chicken and turkeys -- each year.
Switch engines in the Worthington railyards shuttled 61,262 rail cars in 1955. Currently, Hunsaid estimated about six trains (not cars) pass the station each day.
There were 60 men working out of Worthington for C&NW that year. Today, fewer than 10 are employed at the depot -- two conductors, three maintenance men, one train inspector and a signal gate keeper.
Hunsaid said coal and grain are the main transports rolling through the depot each day.
In 2004, Daily Globe features editor Beth Rickers reported that "The city of Worthington and Union Pacific Railroad have reached a tentative agreement that would result in the closure of the 16th Street railroad crossing that leads from First Avenue to Sherwood Street."
UP was to invest about $1.7 million in expansion of the switching yard, due to increased rail traffic created by agricultural production plants in Bingham Lake, Brewster and Ashton, Iowa.
It was then UP promised the depot a facelift, agreeing to paint the depot and create a flower bed in the depot area.
The measure was expected to quadruple the number of cars being switched in Worthington and add four employees to the local site.
Local attendance at the depot may have reached its former heights in late 2008 when Union Pacific Challenger No. 3985 made a tour stop in Worthington. The world's largest operating steam locomotive ran late, giving some time to recall the days when passenger trains were commonplace.
As Rickers wrote: "Walter Willey of rural Worthington had many relatives who worked on the railroad, and he recalled the days when the depot's lunch counter was a bustling place, filled with hungry disembarking passengers, and there were also non-paying passengers -- hobos who rode the rails."
Last year, the depot was further distinguished at the hands of local Boy Scout Matt Sorensen, who completed a landscaping project for the city as part of his work toward an Eagle Scout Award.
The 15-year-old worked with the city parks and recreation department and the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce to place a landscaped boulder by the train depot, engraved with the words Worthington INC. 1873. The rock is surrounded by interlocking 12-inch bullet edgers and smaller rocks, as well as about two dozen plants, including peonies, day lilies and grasses.
Most Union Pacific workers base their current operations out of the depot's large main room; the facility contains one bathroom and few offices. A vintage vending machine selling Pepsi products is located near one of the windows.
It appears as though little has changed. As Crippen wrote in a 2008 column, "That depot is an architectural jewel. ... There are new shingles on the old brick station; otherwise, UP has been somewhat neglectful of the exterior. Peek inside, however. The waiting room, the marvelous woodwork, the wainscoting, the windows all are as they were a century ago."

Subject: [ABERDEEN] Older women having babies
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 13:48:57 -0600
I think you may find that older women having babies is a little more
common than some realize. Many of these children are also referred to
"change of life" children. I know it is fairly common in my family
throughout my research with the most recent being my own mother having a
late child during the menopause years.

Saturday evening marked a celebration of lights on the opening day of Ramona Pony Baseball.
Ceremonies were held in the early evening so the baseball league could utilize the 17 new light poles set around the four baseball fields at Ramona's Wellfield Park. It was a project that had been in the works for several years.
"We've been saving for almost eight years," said Mark Pack, former Ramona Sports Association treasurer who was instrumental in moving the lighting project forward.
Pack spoke from the field to a crowd of parents and ball players around 5 p.m. as the sun was setting. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who obtained $300,000 in Neighborhood Reinvestment Funds for the project, was on hand to see the lights turn on at the event.
The lights were also funded by $150,000 in Park Land Dedication Ordinance funds and $30,000 from the Ramona Pony Baseball League.
Pack told the crowd that so many people donated time and money to the lighting project that the league was able to use some of the funds for other improvement projects for the fields.
Pack gave credit to Tim Knowd from Par Electric, who donated equipment and labor to erect the lights in about six hours.
"They did that for free, not a penny paid toward them," Pack said.
The light poles stand 70 feet tall and have a total of 84 shielded lights, he said.
Pack told the Sentinel that other companies estimated it would take two to three days to stand the poles. Par Electric's donation saved the league a lot of money, he said, which helped because the league ran into items that were not budgeted, such as tree trimming and a geotechnical study.
As Jacob stood before the microphone looking up at the lights, she said, "This is your tax dollars coming back to fund Wellfield Park."
The supervisor emphasized the importance of exercise and how it fits in with the county's "Building Better Health" program.
"To the kids out there, I love what you're doing. I played everything a girl could play in the day," Jacob said.
Being a team player teaches life skills, makes one a better person, and carries over into the classroom and academics, she said.
Ramona Pony Baseball President Tim Fidler presented two awards that night. Volunteer of the Year went to Mark Pack, and the Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Sue Lanz, who worked on the lighting project and had plans drafted in 2004.
Pack said the lights will make it easier for the kids to play ball in the early evening.
"It's kind of a safety factor," Pack said, explaining that the sun, as it starts to set, shines into the eyes of a batter, making it difficult to see the ball. Being able to start games a little later will also give parents time to coach after work, he said.
The lights are controlled through a computer and can be programmed for the whole week.
"It's working like a charm," said Pack.
About 375 players have signed up for the league this year.

: Thank you for the suggestion about brewer's yeast. Is this something I could get at GNC or a place like it? That is very interesting and certainly something I will try out. Thanks again.I have even found this at the grocery store where the vitamines and herbs are sold. All drug stores and places like K Mart, Wall Mart --department type stores that sell vitamines and supplements. You know--the thing that floored me was how very cheap it is and how good it was! Hope ya find some to try soon. Good luck Ray. PS I think GNC should have it but sometimes they are a little bit expensive.

Yes, of course: the code for the LogicT paper http://pobox.com/~oleg/ftp/packages/LogicT.tar.gz (please see SFKT.hs) and http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2005-October/016577.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2005-October/016696.html As we can see, FR stream indeed takes success and the failure continuations.

You're correct on both counts. We can emulate equi-recursive types with iso-recursive ones: e.g., plain Haskell list. Or, you may choose to use higher-ranked type (the FR stream). There is a third solution: use a small typing hole in Haskell to sneak in the real equi-recursive type. I have a feeling though you might not wish to explain the latter method to your students. This present question is actually related to your previous inquiry about expressing a predecessor in a simply-typed lambda-calculus. It cannot be expressed. We need either a recursive or higher-ranked type: predecessor is 'car'.

Friday when he picked them up he was trying to be my friend again. This time I shut him down. But those eyes. He kept looking into my eyes.
I want this limbo to go away but I do not want to be the one to make any sort of move. I still want my M. If he is so dead set on D why isn't he moving forward with anything?
Urgh. When does the desire and hope for your M go away?
I wish I had an answer myself. I was about to post about the fact that I am missing my WW today and then saw your post. I wanted to text my WW to say I missed her, but, like you, don't want to put myself out there any more than we already have.
I think Sundays are triggering me and I don't know whether it is because that is when we spent the most time together. Or whether it is because my dday was a Sunday night.
Hang in there Eye. We'll get through this.
Luckily Sunday is almost over!
Last week it took me until Monday evening to finally feel ok again.
Maybe the only time in our lives when we look forward to seeing Monday come.
Plans with friends or family who are around or do errands/shopping -keeping busy on trigger days helps. Making new memories on trigger days helps. Then, I have the memory of the present-day Sundays or trigger days to carry with me rather than the past.
This type of day is about "living in the now", as Wayne and Garth say and making new patterns or routines eventually wears on the triggers.
ETA that if it were me and X made cow eyes at me I would be very, very leery, because it could also be an act, I'm sorry to say. But if you still want your M, it seems like you're going to have to find a way to put yourself on the line-again-or determine your threshold for your deal breakers.
What I was always told was, "it's the actions". If he's just making cow eyes at you, it could be curiosity or some other thing, but please be careful of your heart.

I have also agreed to let my WW take my kids to church on my Sundays with them, because it is an important community for them. My eldest said to me last week that church is one of his two happy places. So having 2 hours taken away from my time with them on Sundays requires that I think of the rest of the day differently. But starting some regular routines may be the way to go.
For me, he is all I have ever known. We have two beautiful kids together and have had each other's backs since we were 16.
Maybe I am just scared to move on. Scared to be alone. Scared to never have the love I had with him again. Scared no one will ever love or want me.

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla's plane touched down under sunny skies in Fredericton Sunday evening for the beginning of a three-day, whirlwind visit to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
For some, the trip is seen as a way for the longest serving king-in-waiting in British history to reconnect with the Commonwealth. Others say the couple has been overshadowed by the next generation of the Royal Family: the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, whose visit to North America last summer seemed almost an extension of their honeymoon, both with each other and the wider world.
In some ways, Prince Charles, 63, will seek to follow in the footsteps of his son, by reaching out to young Canadians and projecting himself as a modern royal. He will stress the historical connection between the Royal Family and Canada, but he will also attempt to strike a note of "practicality" by seeking to demonstrate how the Royal Family is relevant to the Commonwealth today.
Some of his favourite causes – the environment, and helping underprivileged children – will figure into this visit. The couple's itinerary also includes time spent with young entrepreneurs and meetings with families of Canadian soldiers who have died in service.
Their trip is also an implicit reminder of Prince Charles's role in the succession at a time when much of the focus seems to have shifted to his eldest son and his bride.
For Prince Charles, this trip to Canada is a homecoming of sorts as he is visiting troops Monday at CFB Gagetown, where he trained briefly as a young naval officer in 1975.
The couple was most recently in Canada in 2009 and this is the fourth tour in the last four years by members of the Royal Family. The theme of this visit is about honouring service – the Queen's service to the country and individual acts of service by Canadians.
The itinerary tomorrow touches on two tenets that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been promoting as making up the Canadian fabric – the monarchy's importance to the country, and the military.
"We are pleased that Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are touring Canada to mark Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee," said Andrew MacDougall, Mr. Harper's spokesman.
"Canada's Diamond Jubilee celebrations are meant to recognize the outstanding contributions of regular Canadians in communities across Canada and the Royal Tour will help bring those contributions to light," he added.
Altogether, 60,000 Diamond Jubilee medals have been cast to award to Canadians, with about a dozen of the medals to be given out during the couple's visit. The rest will be given out throughout the Diamond Jubilee year.
After their arrival in Fredericton Sunday night, the Duchess commented on the warm weather to one of the dignitaries who greeted her. She said it was much better here than back in Britain.
As did her daughter-in-law, Catherine, last year, Camilla arrived wearing a navy blue dress. The designer is Anna Valentine.
But even though this visit is a celebration of the Diamond Jubilee, it is not expected to attract the same interest as the visit last year by William and Catherine, who made Canada their first overseas visit as a married couple.
This time around, there are 500 accredited media, nine of whom are from Britain and 11 from the international press. Last year, there were 1,400 journalists who covered William and Catherine's every move, including more than 100 from the United Kingdom.
This visit will take the couple from CFB Gagetown to Saint John and then on to Ontario and Saskatchewan.
"It's an opportunity to really showcase New Brunswick and at the same time to honour the Queen and 60 wonderful years as really head of Canada. We're really pleased they've chosen to start their tour of Canada here in New Brunswick," said David Alward, Premier of New Brunswick. He noted the Prince had not visited the province since 1996.
It was a beautiful evening as they departed the aircraft, greeted by federal Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield, who is the MP for Fredericton, and Lieutenant-Governor Graydon Nicholas.
In anticipation of the couple's arrival, some beautification had taken place outside the Fredericton airport. Striking PSAC workers, who have been off the job for the past 15 weeks, were nowhere in sight. Their portable toilet had also been removed.
Kaitlyn Tozer, 11, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2010, gave the Duchess a bouquet of flowers. Later, the little girl was too star struck to speak to journalists.
This was considered an "administrative" welcome. The official welcome to Canada takes place Monday in CFB Gagetown, the military base just outside of Fredericton, with Governor-General David Johnston, his wife, Sharon, Premier Alward and Heritage Minister James Moore.
The Prince will speak at this event, which also includes a 21-gun salute.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper will not meet up with the royal couple until Tuesday in Toronto. He is at the NATO summit in Chicago.
However, the Prime Minister and Prince Charles will sit down for a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday. The topic of their conversation is not being disclosed.
The Governor-General will also meet separately with the Prince.
With a report from The Canadian Press

Azzaro Club Azzaro - Full Story
Azzaro has unveiled Azzaro Club fragrance collection, a new duet of scents for ladies and gentlemen drawing its influence by the discos and night clubs of the 1980s.
Azzaro Club for men is an aromatic fragrance in a rich black squared bottle with a multi-faceted block cap, inspired by the mirrored surface of a disco ball. Azzaro Men Club vibrates energizing colors. The opening gives lemon sorbet and green papaya bringing out a real rush of freshness. The tempo of the heart beats rhythmically with Hemp inter-weaved with Hinoki wood inviting you to the disco party, and slowly you are hypnotized through crystalline musk in a warm and sensual world.
Azzaro Club for women is an oriental perfume in a deep black bottle with a spherical multi-faceted stopper, influenced by a disco ball. Juicy fruits present an exploding freshness of cheerful, exciting and colorful sensations. A vivid and energetic character is presented in the opening with facets of passion fruit, while essences of pomegranate emanate sweet and exotic flavors. Black cashmere wood and vanilla mix beautifully and make the scent totally irresistible. A warm sensuality evolves in the closing with crystal musk.
The new Azzaro Club fragrance collection for men and women is available in 75ml versions of Eau De Toilette concentration.

Casio's Android Wear debutant, first demoed back in January at CES, is now on sale.
Upgrade: When will my smartwatch get Android Wear 2.0
The Casio Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10, to give it its full meaty moniker, has landed on the Google Store and ShopCasio.
It's available in four colours - red, green, black and orange - and will cost $500. That's pretty expensive given there's no GPS on board but Casio will hope that the tough credentials of the WSD-F10 are enough to sway outdoorsy types.
Hands on: Casio Smart Outdoor Watch review
The Casio uses a US military standard MIL-STD0810 of dust and shock resistance and is waterproof to 50m.
It also sports a pretty unique display - at least for an Android Wear smartwatch. The 1.32-inch screen comes with a second monochrome display that can be used instead of the colour panel.
Instead of just a single day's usage from the main 320 x 3o0 LCD touchscreen, the monochrome screen boosts the battery life to a month.
Pre-installed apps include fishing, trekking and cycling, and it's compatible with the ViewRanger GPS app for trekking routes.
We'll be bringing you our full Casio smartwatch review as soon as we've had to time to fully test it, so be sure to check back for updates.

La Frutta di Venus is the result of crossing a sensational Great White Shark female from one of our own regular selections with a specimen of Cannabis sativa ruderalis. It's a first generation auto. A small, compact plant although with excellent yields of very good buds with abundant flowers.
Very quick grower ideal for summer harvests or very discreet gardens. Like all automatics, we advise germinating it in the definitive pot to prevent early flowering. In northern climes it's a very attractive option for a summer crop while in Mediterranean climes two or three harvests a season are very common.
This cross has the characteristic taste and aroma of the white and skunk family with touches of aniseed and spices. The effect is very relaxing, almost narcotic. Very suitable for medicinal use as the mental stimulation is very subtle.
Indoor Harvest Time from 45 to 55 days
Flavour Anise
Way of cropping Ind/Out
Production 400-450 g/m2 indoor. 25-60g/plant outdoor
Smell Medium
Efect Medicinal
Resistance to mold Medium
Outdoor Harvest Time Automatic (45 days)
Resistance to plagues High
Sex Feminized
Lineage Great White Shark x C. sativa ruderalis
Irrigation tolerancy Medium

Zig on Mary Kay Ash
Mary Kay was a great lady. In my autobiography I talk about my "Wall of Gratitude," which features the pictures of 26 men and women who have had a huge impact on my life. I mention the fact that six of those people were women, and one was Mary Kay Ash.
We moved to Dallas in 1968 to work with Automotive Performance as Vice President of Training. Unfortunately, because of a unique series of circumstances, many of which were beyond anyone's control, the training company went under and I was suddenly thrown into the marketplace, hoping to be a speaker but having no speaking engagements. At this point I met some Mary Kay Directors who invited me to speak to their Monday morning meeting at Corporate Headquarters. I gladly accepted and when I appeared I was greeted by a highly motivated, very enthusiastic group of Mary Kay ladies. As I was making my presentation I had no idea that Mary Kay Ash even knew I was in the building, but indeed she did and was comfortably seated around a corner where I could not see her.
After my presentation she sent for me and in the conversation that followed she said she liked what I had to say and the way I said it. She encouraged me to speak to her Directors and Beauty Consultants across the country. She opened that door for me and in the next two years I conducted 50 to 60 six-hour seminars all over the country and spoke at two of Mary Kay's National Conventions.
During this period of conducting the six-hour seminars I was able to formulate and lay out my complete philosophy of life, while gaining considerable presentation experience and realizing a much-needed income as a result. Mary Kay recorded the introduction on the set of tapes I had created for them and they were extremely well accepted by the field.
Over the years our paths crossed many times, and we became friends and periodically enjoyed extended telephone conversations. I missed those conversations after Mary Kay had her stroke and could no longer verbalize and express herself as she had done so beautifully all of her life.
My admiration for Mary Kay grew over the years as I witnessed the impact she was having not only on the hundreds of thousands of Mary Kay Directors and Beauty Consultants, but their families, communities and society in general as well. She always emphasized to them that they must put God first, family second and their Mary Kay business third. Her impact was felt around the world, and on the personal side I was privileged to watch her at the National Conventions stand by the hour, smiling broadly as her picture was taken with anyone who wanted a picture with her. Over the years hundreds of Mary Kay people have told me what that meant to them and what she had meant to them. She was truly an icon with a dream of giving women a legitimate opportunity to build a career while maintaining balance in their lives.
Since her death I have been humbled and gratified to learn that after her stroke and retirement, Mary Kay continued to listen to some of my tapes. It was inspiring to know that although she could not communicate verbally, she still felt the need for an encouraging message. I believe, knowing her as I did, that the major reason she listened was to set an example. All she could do was listen, so she was sending a message to her people that they needed to continue to grow and be encouraged so they could encourage others. She truly was a great lady and will be sorely missed.
.Mary Kay Ash died on November 22, 2001. Information about her life and her company can be found at MaryKay.com.

Sundial Film Festival Features Films by Simpson Students
Tickets are on Sale Now
For Immediate Release
REDDING, Calif. – On Saturday, March 10, the fourth annual Sundial Film Festival will feature short films from local filmmakers, including three Simpson University students and a staff member.
The festival, which will take place at the Cascade Theatre, will offer a 1 p.m. matinée highlighting student and animated films and a 7 p.m. silver screen show featuring eight short films that will compete for various awards.
Tickets can be purchased online at sundialfilmfestival.com. Ticket prices are $7.50 for the matinee, $15 for the evening showing and $20 for both. Limited seating is available.
Caleb Warren, a senior at Simpson, and Janelle Roth, a junior, will have their film, "The Book of the Beginning," which portrays the creation story from the Bible, shown during the evening program. Warren and Roth's film took Best Picture at Simpson University's annual EXPOSURE film festival in November.
"I feel honored to have this film accepted into the Sundial Film Festival," said Warren. "Janelle and I began working on the film the first week of the fall semester. It feels great to put a lot of time and energy into a project and to see people enjoy watching it. The film has opened many doors to different opportunities, and I am excited to see where it will go from here. It has been an experience that I will hold with me for the rest of my life."
Simpson student Crystal Stanfill will have her film, "Nightminds," shown during the 1 p.m. showing. The film is a story of how a college student overcomes addictions by getting back into dancing and having support from friends.
Also being shown at the 1 p.m. matinée, is the animated film "The Tiger's Gift," by Jimi Bonogofsky, creative design assistant in the Simpson University's marketing department. The film won the award for Best Animation.
"It's such an honor to know that you made something that never existed before, and that others are able to enjoy and appreciate what you've created," said Bonogofsky. "The film has been in many festivals around the world, but there's something special about showing it at home, and actually getting to attend the screening. Making the film certainly wasn't about winning prizes, but it is fun to have acknowledgment."
The mission of the Sundial Film Festival is to educate and foster film and photography production among people who hope to discover an interest in or career using these mediums. The festival is sponsored by the Active 20-30 Club of Redding Foundation and supported by other various organizations and businesses.

Literacy is essential to most aspects of school curriculum. It also presents opportunities for children to avail themselves to the knowledge and creativity of others. Hence, literacy is a critical part of the DMMS curriculum. Children learn the sounds of letters and ways that letters combine to form words. They engage in innovative activities in inventive writing. They see words in context not only in books but around the classroom as well. Children learn that reading and writing are avenues to wonderful and exciting adventures.
Math is far more than symbols and words on paper. Children learn to add and subtract by combining and taking away objects. They learn place value by seeing bead bundles that represent ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. They hold wooden spindles that can be divided into parts of a whole. Conceptual understanding of math is a natural outcome of activities that allow children to manipulate objects and see relationships. The symbolic representation on paper always follows a solid understanding of concepts derived from concrete objects.
Science is truly exciting when it is about physical properties that are learned through the experimentation of observing and testing, such as seeing the change in a stalk of celery when it is placed in a glass of red-colored water. Science allows children to label, define, and explain the processes and elements of life around them. It expands a child's vocabulary and vision of the world, indicating how the child can impact his or her environment. Children learn to articulate a question, derive theories, and then examine evidence to test their theories. The science experiments focus on impacting phenomena such as gravity, friction, motion, color and light. Experiments extend to other disciplines such as art, writing, and reading.

Dancing Moose is always looking for qualified individuals who share a similar passion and mission for early childhood education to join their team.
The spacious playground features equipment that offers a variety of activities for several children at the same time. Safety is a guiding principal on the playground--the play area is covered with a rubberized, cushioned soft fall area. The equipment gives children a variety of playground options from simple to more challenging play events, allowing children to develop skills as they play.
The playground also features tricycles for children to ride along a winding path on a designated area of the playground. Traffic signs help to create a realistic environment, and serve as a learning tool to help children become skilled at identifying and understanding the purposes of basic traffic signs.
Dancing Moose's outdoor amphitheatre provides a setting where children's imaginations soar as they choreograph plays for each other and for parent programs. The grassy, rolling hills are perfect for active play with elevations to help toddlers improve their balance and gross motor skills.
Following are pictures of our commercial grade equipment manufactured by Little Tikes Commercial.
DMMS finds great importance in children's physical development and coordination. The free-movement room allows each child to participate in activities such as karate, dance, yoga, music enrichment and instrumental percussion. DMMS does not charge extra for these activities because the founders recognize the importance of every child's participation. They are committed to the value of community membership.
Our kitchen is fully equipped according to the Utah Department of Health Regulations. It provides a hot lunch as well as three snacks for full-time students: a morning snack, afternoon snack and take-home snack. Part-time students enjoy one snack during their session.
Nutrition is of the utmost importance to DMMS. The chef is experienced in creating healthy, balanced meals from scratch. A monthly menu will be provided to parents. Special dietary needs will be accommodated at parents' request.
DMMS is proud to feature the latest technology to ensure safety throughout the school.
DMMS invites parents to watch their children through a monitoring center at the school any time they are inclined. Each classroom and playground has a video camera, so the director or parent can see what is happening at all times.
The entrance of Dancing Moose Montessori School has a keypad so only parents with a correct code can enter the building. This code also checks their child in and out. Visitors must ring the doorbell to ensure their check-in by the director.
A solid 10 foot block fence does not allow passerby's to view Dancing Moose students at any time.
Each classroom is tailored to meet children's needs. Large windows are featured in each classroom to accommodate outside views for children and adults. Classrooms are also equipped with child-sized toilets and sinks.
Windows surround the interior walls so parents can view the classroom from the hall without disturbing children.
The toddler classroom is equipped with a soft floor, child-sized sink, and a variety of Montessori materials displayed at the toddlers' eye level. Learning materials consist of high quality Montessori materials, each with a distinct purpose for the child. Rugs delineate a child's place in the classroom to execute these activities. Music, dancing and singing is also a regular part of this classroom. There is a separate age-appropriate playground for children under three, and children remain separated by age throughout the school day. Watering plants with spray bottles is one of the favorite activities during the day for toddlers. They also enjoy visiting the gym where they sing and dance and play with balls, bubbles, and parachutes.
The twos classroom is equipped with Montessori materials that are simplified to accommodate this age group. Potty training is an important part of the curriculum in this class. "Potty time" eases children into sitting on the child-sized toilet without overwhelming them. Singing and dancing is also integral to the day-to-day routine. Teachers move the children around in 10 to 15 minute increments to capture and maintain their interest. Phonemic Awareness is a primary focus for teachers. Children learn how to break apart a word by sounds before they even begin to recognize the written symbols. Once a child recognizes that sounds make up words, the child learns to associate the letters with sounds. For math, children begin to recognize numerical symbols, and they begin to associate quantities with the symbols. Practical life activities include washing hands, wiping tables, pouring water, grasping with tongs and many others.
The three to five-year-old classroom is structured with several workstations to facilitate a myriad of curricular objectives. The sink area promotes practical life activities such as washing dishes and art projects such as water color painting. Reading is promoted first through Phonemic Awareness. Letter boxes contain objects for children to isolate sounds and match them with appropriate symbols. The DMMS leveled reading program allows parents to become involved in their child's progress by continuing the learning process at home. Math is introduced in many different concrete ways. Math materials introduce multiplication and division if a child is interested and ready for these math processes. Each week, full-time students participate in dance, yoga, karate and choir. These special classes are important for the Dancing Moose emphasis on educating the whole child.

Jack- more classic, less popular, though on the rise
Samuel- I think it sounds best with your other kid's names. And i love the nn Sam
Adam- Once again, a classic. Not too popular, and works with with set

Joseph- works better with your set
Charlie- Ages well and is a classic
Isaac- I think Oliver sounds a little too close to Elliot
Thomas- suits your set better
Russell- once again, not a fan of either, Reuben just reminds me of a sandwich

Thanks mbrow222 and raquel.
I really like Oliver and he would go by Ollie some of the time, would that still be too close? And I forgot to mention we're in the UK where names like Alfie, Freddie, Frankie are used without any longer form so even though they might seem cutesy to people in another country they don't to me, they're pretty normal.
And what's Reuben got to do with a sandwich?Mum to Luke and Elliot, stepmum to Libby. Baby #4 is currently being grown.

Jack- This was so hard for me. I love both Jake and Jack equally. However, Jack's less common and that's important so that your little boy doesn't end up being Jake H. in the classroom.
Daniel- I love the nickname Sam, but Daniel's the nicer full name IMO.
Alexander- Personal reasons for this one. Every Alexander I've ever met has been intelligent and endearing, every Adam? Not so much.
Alfie- UGH. I despise both of these names, but at least Alfie doesn't remind me of Freddy Krueger.
Matthew- Honestly, Joseph's a fine name too, I guess I just prefer the nickname Matt to Joey/Joe. Though, you have much more interesting choices on this list than these two names.
Charlie- I love, love, love Charlie! Besides, Connor's awfully trendy.
Oliver- This one was easy. I love everything about Oliver and can't stand the look/sound of Isaac.
Harry- Thanks to the prince and Mr. Styles, this name is prime for use. Also, it's worlds more interesting than old, dull Thomas.
Russell- I'm indifferent to both of these names, so, honestly, you could go either way and have a perfectly nice name. I only chose Russell because I liked the nn possibility of Russ.
William- My all time favorite boy name. However, had Nathan been Nathaniel, it would have given William a run for its money. (;

Ten Things To Learn From the Royal Court Theatre Building Tour
The Royal Court Theatre is the leading national company in Britain that is dedicated to play the new works that are written by the innovative writers. Here are ten things that you can learn from the Royal Court Theatre @royalcourt building tour. Take a look at these below.
On closely observing the concrete walls, you can take a look at the wood grain from boxes that were employed as moulds for the blocks.The Royal Court Theatre was receiving a theatre and it is a producing theatre itself now.The Royal Court Theatre is the one and only theatre in the country that accepts spontaneous play scripts that are all read. In case you send your play script to any theatre such as the National Theatre, you will be asked to send your script to the Royal Court Theatre.
Royal Court Theatre as a theatre fosters the writing talent. Only the playwrights receive start billing and not of the actors do irrespective of who they are.Rehearsing for the play is done on site in a specific room that is created in the eaves of the Royal Court Theatre building. This region was earmarked for the officers originally. Now, even auditions are conducted on the site.The grilles of the Royal Court Theatre act a window decoration and this is found even in the stairwell that leads to the Jerwood Upstairs. These were originally the drains in the women's loo.
The trapdoor that we meant for the Jerwood Upstairs is accessed from the offices of the theatre that are located underneath. SActually, there is no stage at the Jerwood Downstairs. For each production, the boards are made and these give more flexibility to the theatre and a quicker turnaround between the different productions. For instance, for the Haunted Child set up, one could see cracks on the stage that revealed the large space below. This was a little bit frightening.
In the stalls at the Royal Court Theatre building, the very last row is called writer's row as that where the playwrights will be seated and watch their plays that are performed during the preview. This way, they can make an immediate exit from the hall at the end of the play.The Jerwood Upstairs was meant for the private members club to move around the laws that approved the play scripts. Therefore, the scripts are edited and censored before they could actually be performed.

New Berlin entrepreneur creates new fantasy football game: Cover5
Standing on the sidelines of a youth football practice he volunteered at back in 2001, Scott Schmidt was issued a challenge of sorts by his friends. Football season was rapidly approaching, but Schmidt's friends had grown tired of trying to organize and manage their fantasy football leagues. The countless transactions and endless stat ticker watching was making Sundays less enjoyable.
They told Schmidt, a salesman with no background in gaming, to create a game that their group of 30 or so friends could participate in.
A graduate of New Berlin Eisenhower High School and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Schmidt set out to create an alternative to the standard fantasy football options, something that was easier to manage and was more "real" in the sense that he and his friends would root for teams, rather than individuals.
"I wanted a game that really put the emphasis back on wins and losses and actual team points," Schmidt said.
The game that would later be dubbed Cover5 was born.
A combination of a standard office pool pick 'em, along with some elements of Vegas-style point spread watching (but not gambling), the concept allowed Schmidt and his friends the ability to pick teams a week to win. It was easy – the teams win, you win. It also allowed others to join in easily.
"It was never intended it to be a business," he said. "The game grew because people enjoyed it. It changed the way they enjoyed sports and watched sports."
At first, it was a game played by just Schmidt, his friends and family. At least until one family member asked him about taking it to another level. The fantasy football business was booming – why not get a piece?
Schmidt beta tested in 2008 and 2009, and expanded it slowly. Since the format is team-based, he then added in the ability to play with college teams. Locally, he brought it to Matty's Bar and Grille in New Berlin and Steve Czaban of Yahoo! Sports Radio and The Hog picked it up to share with his listeners.
Things were moving.
"It's been really cool how it's grown," Schmidt said. "It's totally different than most start-up stories in terms of how they've gotten to it. We're not there – there's still room to grow. We've got some great things going for us. We know people like the game, we do know that it tailors to a wide variety of fans, the die-hard fan and the casual fan. It's a pretty cool journey."
It came to a point in 2011 however, that Schmidt had to make a decision. If he wanted the game to reach its potential, it had to have his full attention. So, he quit his sales job to focus on the game. He partnered with a programmer who had experience at Google and Orbitz to make sure the site could handle all its current, and potential, users.
Word of mouth was spreading, and soon Dan Patrick was hooked.
Patrick, host of his self-titled nationally syndicated sports talk show which is simulcast on DirecTV, found the game to be so interesting he partnered with Schmidt to create what is now called Cover5.
"For the average guy who just wants to play a game and compete with his friends, the fantasy has become a nightmare," Patrick said in a statement. "That's why I helped create Cover5: A game to liberate sports fans from the oppressive demands of fantasy leagues."
The partnership has been a dream come true for Schmidt.
"His reputation is validating the game," he said. "The opportunity to launch a product with in my opinion, the number one sports personality in the world right now – he's currently hosting the Olympics – it's a dream come true - so there's a lot of excitement about launching this product with Dan as a partner and him seeing the value and wanting to put his name to this."
There will be a national push behind the game beginning next week as players around the world begin preparing for the fantasy season, but the company is still fundraising. According to Cover5, the group has secured over $200,000 for "improvements to game architecture" – 40-percent of their fundraising goal.
Schmidt is the company's only full-time employee at this point, but he is excited about the room for growth. The Cover5 format allows for bars and restaurants to host their own professional and college leagues, as well as players who wish to have friends locally, nationally or abroad participate.
With the game about to be launched nationally next week and the college and professional football seasons beginning in a matter of weeks, Schmidt says the game is ready for an influx of users.
"From a founder's perspective, there's a sense of nervousness that everything goes smoothly" Schmidt said. "We feel like we're in a very good place if demand exceeds what we've planned for. We feel quite confident, but it is nerve wracking. There's definitely excitement.
"There's always that in the back of your mind that 'Oh, I hope people are enjoying this as much as our beta group has' and 'I hope our site meets expectations.' I'm very concerned about that. I want to give people the best experience they can have when they come online to play our game. At the end of the day it's extremely exciting and I'm very humbled to be able to do this, I'm humbled that people invested money into me and I'm humbled that people play my game. I'm excited to see what this can do for the sports world."

The Johnson County Commissioners gave the State of the County Address on Wednesday at a luncheon at the Bozeman Trail Steakhouse in Buffalo.
Commission Chair Smokey Wildeman opened the address, giving a short description of what the commission is and its responsibilities.
He then gave a rundown of various projects the county has undertaken in recent years and how those various projects were funded.
Wildeman said valuation is still high, with mineral production still keeping county coffers relatively full. With uranium production picking back up this year, He said he expects this year's revenues to be in line with what they were last year.
He thought the state of the county to be in good shape.
Commissioner Delbert Eitel talked about roads and road projects, including upcoming upgrades to Schoonover and Trabing Roads.
He also commented that recent uranium production in southern Johnson County will help with revenue lost to dwindling methane production.
Commissioner John Gibbs discussed the new justice center and court facilities, possibly digitizing old county records, bringing fiber optic technology to Buffalo and economic development.
The commissioners said they are looking at a new community center at the Johnson County Fairgrounds as their next likely project after the criminal justice center is completed.
Attracting new business, economic development and working closely with the City of Buffalo and the Town of Kaycee were also high priorities for the commission.

WASHINGTON -- If the next snowpocalypse hit without warning and we all had to shelter in place, then the lucky 1,000-plus chowing down at The Hamilton could settle in happily for quite some time. The soon-to-open eatery, the latest from Clyde's Restaurant Group, could well be the city's largest at 37,500 square feet. It begins service Dec. 18.
Clyde's President Tom Meyer took The Huffington Post on an ambling tour through the massive property, which feels more like a small city than a restaurant. In all, there are about 400 restaurant seats spread out over five bars and six dining areas, 80 more seats in an upstairs loft area with standing room for 100, and 260 seats downstairs in a concert venue space, which also holds 100 bar stools.
The Hamilton will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week except for Christmas, a rarity in a city where public transportation closes down at midnight on weeknights. Meyer doesn't expect the place to be hopping at 4 a.m. on a Tuesday, but he's confident that The Hamilton will be a success.
"I'd be dumb if I wasn't nervous," he said. But the way Meyer sees it, he's not just creating another restaurant; he's providing a service. There's nothing in the area that caters to the late night set (Meyer envisions lawyers burning the midnight oil and restaurant and hotel workers fresh off their last shift) and no place that offers both entertainment and quality food and drinks.
But how can a place this large exist? Most recently, the property at 14th and F streets NW was a Borders bookstore, part of the chain that declared bankruptcy earlier this year. Before that, it was the flagship location of the legendary Garfinckel's department store, which ceased operations in 1990. But both companies used the lower level for storage, making The Hamilton the largest operation ever on the premises.
Even for a successful restaurant group like Clyde's, the rent at The Hamilton must be considerable. When asked how he's affording payment for such a huge place at such a desirable location, Meyer was tight-lipped, offering only, "We got a very fair rent deal, I'll say."
To help streamline service, nearly all of The Hamilton's 300 (holy cow!) employees will carry wireless electronic devices to take orders and portable printers to print bills on the fly. The kitchen will be paperless, with orders punched into an electronic system that should prevent dishes from getting lost in the mix.
As for the food, a lengthy list of offerings -- with separate menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night, brunch and downstairs in the club -- includes some eye-catching numbers distinct from the mainly American contemporary vibe. Former Zentan chef Jason Zheng will serve up Japanese-inspired fare at a 12-seat sushi bar on the main level.
Downstairs in the concert area, there are still more surprises. Meyer anticipates having shows there nearly every night, with tickets priced anywhere from $15 to $40 and acts running the gamut from comedy to blues to jazz to rock. There'll be a gospel brunch on Sundays, complete with a choir and a Southern-themed menu.
Sushi, gospel brunch, 24-hour service -- what doesn't this place have? And can it possibly succeed?
"I want to create something fun, and hopefully people respond," Meyer said. "If they don't, I'm fired."

Sharp-tailed Grouse

This morning, after a long windy, cold winter it was finally nice enough to get out and do some photography. I knew the grouse would be 'dancing' so I headed out to the lek. I was not disappointed. I arrived as the sun was rising, the grouse were dancing and the meadowlarks were singing. I sat photographing the grouse for an hour as the memories of a hard winter slowly faded away.
