Robert Thorn, a wealthy American, sits in the lobby of a Catholic hospital in Rome, Italy, on 6 Jun at 6:00 a.m. after his newborn son dies at birth. Fearing that his wife, Katherine Thorn, cannot handle loss of the infant, Robert allows Father Spiletto to secretly replace the deceased baby with another newborn whose mother died in childbirth. Years later, Robert is appointed ambassador to the U.K. and the family moves into an English country manor. At a large birthday party for the Thorn's five-year-old son Damien, a news photographer, Keith Jennings, snaps a photograph of Damien's nanny, Holly. Minutes later, Holly is confronted by a large black Rottweiler. Later, Damien hears Holly yelling his name. The party guests look to the roof of the house where they see the nanny with a noose around her neck. Declaring she is killing herself for Damien, Holly jumps off the roof. As Katherine and Robert console Damien, the boy waves at the black dog. A few days later, Robert walks into the U.S. Embassy followed by reporters and he knocks Jennings' camera to the ground. Robert apologizes and offers to pay for the broken camera, but Jennings declines. Father Brennan unexpectedly arrives at Robert's office, announcing that Robert must accept Jesus as his savior or the ambassador is doomed. Robert calls security, but before they arrive, Brennan explains that he was present at Damien's birth and the boy's real mother was a jackal. As Marines escort Brennan out of the embassy, Jennings snaps the priest's photograph. At home, Robert and Katherine are perplexed when Mrs. Baylock, a new nanny, arrives without solicitation, but Baylock explains an agency sent her. However, Baylock later tells Damien that she was sent to protect him. Despite Baylock's protests, the Thorns take Damien to a wedding. When the boy sees the church, he attacks Katherine. Later, Robert is shocked to see the black dog at Damien's nursery door. Mrs. Baylock declares that she thought the stray would make a good watchdog, but Robert insists she get rid of the animal. The next day, Katherine takes Damien on a drive through Animal Park, but all the animals run away from the boy except the baboons, which attack the car. That night, Katherine confesses to Robert that she is having irrational thoughts about Damien and begs her husband to find a psychologist. Days later, at a rugby match, Brennan tells Robert that Katherine is in great danger and the two men agree to meet the following day at Bishop's Park. As Brennan leaves, Jennings photographs from afar. At Bishop's Park, Brennan insists Damien is the Antichrist and must be killed. He warns that Katherine is pregnant and Damien will kill the mother and child. When Damien is Robert's sole heir, the baby will kill Robert as well. Brennan begs Robert to visit a small town called Megiddo to see an old man named Carl Bugenhagen, but Robert says he never wants to see Brennan again, and leaves. Just then, a storm begins, pelting Brennan with leaves and hail. Lightning strikes as Brennan races to a nearby church for shelter, but all the doors are barred. A bolt strikes the church's lightning rod and it falls, impaling Brennan to the ground. When Robert returns home, Katherine sobs she is pregnant and wants an abortion. At that moment, Jennings phones to tell Robert to look at the evening newspaper, which features a picture of the impaled Brennan. Later, Robert talks to Katherine's psychologist, who tells him that Katherine is fantasizing that Damien is evil and not her child. The doctor recommends the abortion, but Robert refuses to consider it. Meanwhile, on the second level landing at the Thorne house, Katherine climbs onto a small table to prune a plant while Damien rides his tricycle into the table, causing his mother to fall and lose her unborn baby. At the hospital, Katherine begs Robert not to let Damien kill her. Robert returns home to find the black dog guarding Damien's nursery. When Jennings phones, begging Robert to come to his flat, Robert sees photographs of Brennan and Holly, Damien's deceased nanny. In the image of Holly, there is a flaw that looks like a noose and the picture of Brennan also shows a spear-like flaw impaling his body. Brennan's autopsy photograph reveals a birthmark in the shape of "666," the sign of the devil from the Biblical Book of Revelations. The men investigate Brennan's apartment, which is plastered with Bible pages and crucifixes. Brennan's diary contains a five-year-old newspaper article about a comet changing shape on 6 June at 6 a.m., the exact time of Damien's birth. Jennings reveals a photograph he took of himself in a mirror that has a similar flaw running through his neck. Back in Rome, Robert and Jennings discover that the hospital where Damien was born burned in a fire five years earlier. All the records were destroyed, but a nun tells Robert that Father Spiletto, the priest who gave him Damien, now lives in a monastery nearby. The men find Spiletto, but the priest was badly maimed by the fire, and can no longer speak. When Robert demands information about Damien's biological mother, Spiletto writes the name of an ancient Etruscan cemetery. That night, Robert and Jennings break into the cemetery and find Damien's mother's grave next to the grave of a child. Exhuming the woman's grave, they find the bones of a jackal. The child's grave contains the skeleton of Robert's natural son with a smashed skull. As Robert realizes his son was murdered at birth, a pack of black Rottweilers attack. Escaping over a spiked fence, Robert slips and impales his arm, but Jennings pulls him free. Robert phones Katherine and reports that his assistant will take her to Rome. When Katherine hangs up, Baylock throws her out the window onto an ambulance ten floors below. After Robert learns of Katherine's death, Jennings informs him that the ancient city of Megiddo is in Israel and that "Megiddo" is another word for "Armageddon." Robert remembers the name of Carl Bugenhagen, the man Brennan told him to meet. In Israel, Bugenhagen sends Jennings away and gives Robert a set of knives with crucifix handles, explaining that Damien must be killed on consecrated ground. Robert asks if there is any way to prove the boy is the Antichrist and Bugenhagen describes a birthmark in the shape of "666." When Robert insists Damien does not have the mark, Bugenhagen tells him to check under the boy's hair. Disbelieving Bugenhagen, Robert declares to Jennings that he will not kill Damien, and throws the knives away, but Jennings runs to retrieve them. However, a nearby truck loses its emergency brake, rolls down the hill, hits a rock, sending glass flying through the air and decapitating Jennings. Robert flies back to England with the knives, sneaks back into his home and traps the black Rottweiler in the basement. While Damien sleeps, Robert cuts the boy's hair and sees the mark of the beast. As Robert recoils, Baylock leaps on him and tries to claw his eyes out, but he knocks her unconscious and grabs Damien. As they head downstairs, Damien grabs a wall sconce and the electrical shock sends them tumbling. Robert regains consciousness, and carries Damien into the kitchen, where Baylock attacks him with a carving fork. He stabs her in the neck, then speeds out of the driveway with Damien. Robert's car almost hits a police officer, who radios for backup and gives chase. Robert takes Damien into a church and places him on the altar. As he prepares to stab Damien, the boy begs for his life, and Robert hesitates. The police arrive and shoot Robert before he can stab Damien. Robert and Katherine are given a formal ambassador's funeral. After the ceremony, Damien is led away by the U.S. President and First Lady.

The following statement appears in the opening credits: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of man; and his number is 666," from the
Book of Revelation,
13:18 in the Bible.
The end credits contain the written statement, "Made by Twentieth Century-Fox Productions Limited at Shepperton Studio Centre, England and on Location."
A 4 Aug 1975
news brief noted the film's alternative title was
The Anti-Christ,
but also announced that the studio promised a different title. News items in the 2 Sep 1975
and 8 Oct 1975
reported the film's title as
Actor Leo McKern played the part of "Carl Bugenhagen," but his name does not appear in screen credits.
The 21 Aug 1976
article stated that the idea for
The Omen
came about when producer Harvey Bernhard had lunch with a religious friend and they talked about the Bible. Although Bernhard reportedly worked collaboratively on early versions of the screenplay with writer David Seltzer, Bernhard is not credited onscreen as a writer. In a 29 Aug 1976
article, Seltzer stated that he did not believe in nor was he interested in the devil and merely wrote the script for commercial reasons.
According to the 21 Aug 1976
article, Seltzer's script "languished" at Warner Bros. for months until Alan Ladd, Jr., from 20th Century-Fox picked up the option.
According to a news item in the 4 Aug 1975
actor Roy Scheider was considered for the role of "Robert Thorn."
A 14 Sep 1975
news item announced that Gregory Peck had been cast in the role of Robert Thorn. However, the producers and 20th Century-Fox had concerns that film audiences may not accept Peck, a good guy, as a child killer, as was reported in the 21 Aug 1976
A news brief in the 20 Oct 1975
stated that
began shooting on 6 Oct 1975. As reported in the 8 Oct 1975
an eleven-week principal photography schedule was underway at the Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England. Additional locations were set to include Southern England, Rome, Italy and Jerusalem, Israel. According to an article in the 21 Jun 1976
the estate depicted in the film that the Thorns rent is actually the 1000 acre mansion called Pyrford Court in Surrey, England. The budget for the film was $2.8 million, as noted in the 24 Jun 1976
As stated in the
article, Bernhard tried to duplicate the successful pre-hype advertising campaigns of
The Exorcist
(1973, see entry,) and
(1975, see entry) to create word of mouth publicity. The filmmakers forfeited $2,348,892 in box office sales by holding two sneak previews in 547 theaters on 6 Jun 1976 and 10 Jun 1976. Between $1,270, 000 and $2,800,000 was spent on movie trailers.
The Exorcist,
The Omen
was not adapted from a bestselling novel, so Seltzer novelized his script and had the book released weeks before the film's opening. Bernhard told
that the sneak previews generated interest in the novelization, which sold out copies in big city bookstores in the first three hours of its publication. According to an Aug 1976 edition of
The Cinema-phile
article, the novel sold 875,000 copies in three weeks, and became a number one bestseller. The article also stated that the film earned over $4 million in three days and over $16.5 million in seventeen days.
The Omen
received mixed reviews, with most of the negative critiques citing its exploitation of a religious subject for entertainment. A 7 Jul 1976
news item announced that the Roman Catholic Church gave the film the rating of "B," just short of a complete condemnation. In an 8 Jul 1976
article, church officials complained that the film erroneously implied that its prophesy of an Antichrist was in the
Book of Revelation,
and claimed the film's prophesy sounded more like verses by mystic Nostradamus.
Other religious groups praised the film. A 14 Jun 1976
article reported that the California Graduate School of Theology in Glendale, CA, presented a special award to the filmmakers during its 9 Jun 1976 commencement ceremonies for "daringly taking a step into a new type of dramatization of a biblical doctrine." A 9 Feb 1977
news item noted that the Publications Approval Board, a censor board in South Africa, changed the film's ending to depict Thorn preparing to stab "Damien," giving the impression that good has triumphed over evil.
Composer Jerry Goldsmith won the Academy award for Best Original Score for
The Omen.
The Omen
was the first in a trilogy of films. It was followed by
Damien--Omen II
(1978, see entry) and
The Final Conflict
(1981, see entry). A fourth movie
The Omen IV: The Awakening
was made for television and aired 22 May 1991.
In 2006,
The Omen
was remade using the same title (see entry).

Go-Go song revival a hit with fans
Go-Go song revival a hit with fans
But it's not the first time this season that Sox fans have been feeling like it's 1959 again.
The resurgence of the catchy tune "Let's Go, Go-Go White Sox" at U.S. Cellular Field may also have something to do with it. The song, which was first recorded for the '59 team, has been a key rallying cry for Sox fans again this season after it was brought back during a Turn Back the Clock game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 18.
Jeff Szynal, the scoreboard operator for the Sox, dug into his old archives before the throwback game and found the old Captain Stubby and Buccaneers 45 that he had bought when he was 10 years old. Szynal knew the record would fit perfectly for the park promotion.
Along with some help from his video editors, Szynal put together a montage of clips from the '59 team along with the current Sox in black-and-white with some karaoke words to give it a nostalgic feel.
Knowing that the song was a natural rallying tune, Szynal waited for the right moment in the game to play the song, and it came in the ninth inning as the Sox were mounting a comeback against the Dodgers. The song worked its magic, as A.J. Pierzynski hit a walk-off homer in to lift Chicago to a victory.
An instant classic was born.
"Everyone was clapping and singing along to the song," Szynal said. "The reaction was so positive that we used it at other opportune times throughout the season."
The song was written by Chicago natives Walter "Lil Wally" Jagiello and the late Al Trace in 1959 as a tribute to their favorite team.
A record was created of the tune at the time, but sales were sluggish at best. The resurgence of this year's team along with the catchy video being played during this year's Sox games has generated a whole new crop of fans for the song.
|"Let's Go, Go-Go White Sox" was written by Chicago natives Walter "Lil Wally" Jagiello and the late Al Trace in 1959 as a tribute to their favorite team.
|Let's go, Go-Go White Sox
We're with you all the way
You're always in there fighting and you do your best
We're glad to have you out here in the middle west
|We're gonna root root root root White Sox
And cheer you on to victory
When we're in the stands we'll make those rafters ring
All through the season you will hear us sing
|Let's go, Go-Go White Sox
Chicago is proud of you
|White Sox
White Sox
Go, go White Sox
|Root root root for the White Sox
We'll cheer you on to victory
When we're in the stands we'll make those rafters ring
All through the season you will hear us sing
|Let's go, Go-Go White Sox
Chicago is proud of you
|White Sox
White Sox
Go, go White Sox
|Let's go, Go-Go White Sox
Chicago is proud of you
Jack Dreznes, owner of Beverly Records on South Western which sells old vinyls, found a copy of the song back in the 1970s and contacted Jagiello to purchase as many copies as he could.
With a stock of around 200-300 copies of the song, Dreznes said that he would sell about 10 or 12 a year -- that is until this season when the song became a phenomenon again. The 50 copies that were left were gone by the middle of August and as calls kept coming, Dreznes made a deal with Jagiello to buy the song rights and burn copies of the catchy tune on CD for fans to purchase.
"It's been nothing but the White Sox every day, every hour around here," Dreznes said. "The response has been beyond my wildest expectations."
Sox fans can purchase the single online at beverlyrecords.com for $10, with one dollar from each purchase going to White Sox charities.
Though the song itself has qualities that have made fans fall in love with it, the real magic has been the use of the song to spark the team to victories. The fact that the song was brought back the same year that the Sox finally returned to the World Series isn't something that has escaped Szynal.
"It is ironic," Szynal said. "I was just happy that I could help bring some of the past back to Sox games, and now for the team to do the same thing is really special."
Most Sox fans hope that the magic doesn't stop now that the team has made it back to the Fall Classic, but Dreznes believes that won't be the case.
"It's brought back memories for me and all the other fans that lived through that '59 season," Dreznes said. "The song has been a good luck charm -- there's just something to it."

In the interest of keeping you interested, I'll abstain from transcribing and transmitting the quotes I got at Halas Hall on Monday.
But if you really want to know what was on the minds of Lovie Smith and the handful of players I talked to, or listened to talk, I'll summarize with a haiku:
Good to get on field
Running ball helps you win games
Bills not that crappy
Is everyone caught up? Well good, now let me just get up on my soapbox and tell a professional football team ranked in the top 32 by Forbes Magazine how to handle its business.
Sign Randy Moss. Sign him tomorrow and pay him the $3.38 million he's owed for the rest of the season. You can pay him in "straight cash homey," his preferred method of paying fines, or you can pay him in unsold Jay Cutler jerseys.
The Bears have wasted money on lesser players. Orlando Pace made almost twice as much last year as a turnstile operator. Money should not be an object for this franchise.
Just pay him and play him.
Sure, Moss is on the downswing of his epic career, and yes, he's not the friendliest of guys or the easiest to coach or the first to avoid annoying a traffic cop.
At this stage of his career, the 33-year-old Moss is no sure thing. The New England Patriots wouldn't have gotten rid of him otherwise, and the Minnesota Vikings wouldn't be putting him on waivers after he ripped the team just yesterday.
Obviously Moss' performance has gone downhill this season. According to the killjoys at ESPN Stats & Information, Moss leads the league in dropped passes this year, and with only 21 catches, that's a sure sign he's either not focused because of contract uncertainty or he's past his prime, or more likely, a combination of both.
So yes, aside from his contract, there are questions about the validity of picking up Moss.
Would he out-sulk Jay Cutler on the sidelines? Yes, of course. Moss is a Hall of Fame sulker. Cutler could learn a thing or two about pouting from Moss, much like that "Simpsons" episode where Homer tried to out-loaf some Teamsters.
Would he stiff the media? Most of the Bears don't say much when they do speak. And I could definitely foresee a total locker-room meltdown at a reporter that would live forever on YouTube. If reporters could make waiver claims, he would already be in Lake Forest.
The national media would have a field day dissecting an offense of Cutler, Moss and Mike Martz. That's a lot of personality for a unit that has been famously bland since Jimmy Mac left town.
Since he's still making No. 1-receiver money, would Moss be the best receiver on the roster?
Sadly, maybe. OK, definitely. I like Johnny Knox and all, but let's be real. This is a team full of second and third options.
The Bears receivers aren't the root cause of the offense's problems -- that would be the offensive line and the play calls -- but as a unit, there have been concerns about fighting off defensive backs and not knowing play calls or adjustments.
I'm not saying Moss would play the role of elder statesman or savior, but he would certainly give Cutler that experienced weapon he currently lacks. If Cutler isn't lobbying for Moss, I'd be surprised.
Do the Bears have a chance of getting him on the waiver wire? Yes, but it's not a slam dunk. The Bears are 17th on the list. Seattle is 16th and don't you think this is a Pete Carroll kind of move? According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Moss' agent had already heard from Seattle and Miami soon after word of his expected release became public.
But let's suspend reality and forget the questions, and assume the Bears have the option to add Moss now, after passing on him in the 1998 draft and the times he's been on the market in the ensuing 12 years.
As we go into Bills week, the Bears' offense is among the worst in football. Feckless at the goal line and in the red zone, an embarrassing 18 percent third-down percentage that is easily the worst in the league, 29th in yards, 27th in points per game, 27th in time of possession, 26th in You get the picture.
Oh, you want more?
Football Outsiders ranks the passing game 30th and Troy Aikman's efficiency ratings pegs it at 31st. If Jeff George had a rating system, Cutler would get five mullets, which is very high.
It's now or never for the current regime at Halas Hall. Well, we can only hope there's some kind of deadline on the mediocrity Bears fans have been subjected to week in and week out.
Coach Lovie Smith said it himself, the Bears are the definition of 4-3, a good team that "needs to tighten some things up."
Well, they need more than that.
I think we're all done waiting for Martz's offense to click with this unit. The poor line play has stymied its evolution. Cutler is a mess, the running backs have lost faith and Mike Tice might stab someone with that ever-present pencil if his linemen don't get a chance to run block more than 12 times a game.
The Bills might be the team that is 0-7, but the Bears are the desperate animal this week. Are they desperate enough to add Randy Moss?
They should be.

Centrica to table bid for energy company Viridian
Centrica, the UK's biggest energy supplier, is preparing a bid for the parent company of Power NI, according to reports. Bloomberg claimed Centrica was eyeing up Northern Ireland-based Viridian Group Ltd, a part of private equity firm Arcapita, which has been taking advice on a sale of its energy arm.
An initial bid could come as early as tonight, with Australian financial services firm AMP also expected to table an offer.
It is understood Arcapita is seeking around £1bn,
Centrica, which also owns British Gas, said it would not be commenting. No one at Power NI could be reached for comment.
Power NI supplies electricity to about 610,000 homes and businesses in the province.
In the Republic, Viridian owns Energia, which supplies electricity to the domestic and commercial market. Energia also supplies business customers in Northern Ireland.
According to Viridian's latest annual report, Energia had 61,300 commercial customers at the end of March, most of them for electricity. It had 56,000 domestic customers, with 26,000 of those buying both electricity and gas from the company.
Energia's revenue fell to £893.5m during the last financial year from £1.01bn, while pre-exceptional earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation slipped to £65.1m from £70.8m.
On a group basis, Viridian, which also owns two power plants in north Dublin, generated revenue of £1.46bn in its last financial year, compared to £1.6bn a year earlier. Group pro-forma operating profit was unchanged at £77.1m.
Last year, Arcapita, which bought then publicly-listed Viridian in 2006 for £1.6bn, had talks with JP Morgan about a possible stock market flotation of the energy business.
In 2010, Viridian sold its Northern Ireland electricity transmission and distribution business to the Electricity Supply Board for £1.2bn.
The province's electricity supply market has seen a deluge of new entrants in recent months. Electric Ireland, Click Energy and Open Electric all joined the market last year. But in reverse order, the top three suppliers are Budget Energy, SSE Airtricity and Power NI.

Winnie Gaynor, a 69-year-old widow, lives alone in Studewood Heights northwest of downtown. It's a low-income, mostly African-American neighborhood where older homeowners coexist unwillingly with drug dealers and other perpetrators of street crime. Residents do not open their doors willingly to unexpected strangers, particularly those approaching after nightfall.
On a Thursday evening early this month, Gaynor heard a knock at her front door. A young Anglo man asked to come inside and discuss "fraud" involving a Democratic primary petition for Grant U. Hardeway, a candidate for the 182nd District criminal judgeship held by Republican Jeannine Barr.
Gaynor has been a notary public for some 40 years. She notarized approximately 1,500 petition signatures, collected mostly by Hardeway's wife, Pandy Hardeway, and her daughter at neighborhood churches.
The notary wasn't the only Hardeway supporter coming under pressure. The law firm of Schneider & McKinney mailed a form letter to hundreds of petition signers, asking whether their signatures were legitimate and posing more questions designed to invalidate the petitions. The letter bore the name of law partner Troy McKinney but was unsigned. It invited the recipients to call a hot line, where a recorded voice asked the same questions as the letter. Other elderly voters reported home visits from men who flashed badgelike credentials and demanded to talk to them about the petitions. Some of the men falsely claimed to be from the Hardeway campaign.
Donetta Jackson signed Hardeway's petition and received the letter. "I couldn't understand why they would write and ask me questions like that," says the registered Democrat. "They were telling me I wouldn't be eligible to vote in the Republican primary, which I already knew."
Complaints about the tactics have prompted an investigation by a task force that includes officials of the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP and the Mexican American Bar Association. A news conference was scheduled in downtown Houston this week to protest the alleged voter harassment. Gaynor's account was one of many under examination by ACLU pro bono attorney David George.
"There's nothing wrong with investigating petitions," explains George. "But if it's done in a way that's racially motivated, or is done to intimidate people, then that's a problem."
Gaynor has no doubt the visitor to her house meant to bully her. As she peered cautiously through a peephole in her locked door, he insisted on talking to her, saying, "we are investigating some fraudulent activities concerning the voting."
When Gaynor replied she did not feel comfortable with the conversation, the stranger said that it was important to talk to him because of "all this fraudulent activity that went on with our president in Florida, we don't want this to happen in Houston." When Gaynor refused to let him in, the man left a card identifying himself as Kevin Templeton of Gradoni and Associates Private Investigators.
"I was really fearful," recounts Gaynor. "There are maybe two men on this street, and all the rest are widows. I'm nobody's fool, and I can read and I can write, and I felt intimidated by him wanting to intrude upon me here in my home while I was alone."
The man returned the next day when Gaynor's son was on hand, and presented petition sheets notarized by her. He asked whether she knew Pandy Hardeway and then questioned some signatures gathered by the candidate's wife. Gaynor told him she was no handwriting expert but that Mrs. Hardeway and her daughter, who has the same name, had collected the signatures and presented them to her to be notarized.
The man then left. Investigator Templeton did not return an Insider phone inquiry about who hired him.
Candidate Hardeway claims the visits and letters are an orchestrated attempt to disrupt his campaign for Barr's bench. He says that shortly after he visited the judge to inform her that he would be running against her, he got a telephone message from Stanley Schneider, a defense attorney and a partner in the firm that later sent the letters to petition signers. Both Hardeway and Schneider frequently defend clients in Barr's court.
The following day Hardeway encountered Schneider at the courthouse, and Schneider told him he'd heard that Hardeway was going to be a candidate against Barr. Hardeway recalls the lawyer saying, "Really wish you wouldn't, really wish you'd think about some other court, because she has done the following things for me " Hardeway says Schneider ticked off some cases where he felt Barr had given him favorable rulings. According to Hardeway, he told the attorney he would still run because "it really isn't anything personal, it's just a difference in philosophies."
Contacted at his firm, Schneider refused to discuss the particulars of the letters to petition signers, but confirmed he had asked the candidate not to oppose Barr.
"I said something to the effect that she was a good judge," recounts Schneider. "I talked to him as a friend would. I like both of them, and she's a good judge."
Schneider referred all questions about the firm's letter to colleague McKinney, who traded calls with The Insider by was ultimately unavailable.
Hardeway suspects there's a bit more than friendship behind the attempt to disqualify him from the race. He notes that two years ago he barely mounted a campaign, but garnered 47 percent of the vote against District Judge Don Stricklin, a Republican.
Hardeway says McKinney urged him to drop out of the race. According to the candidate, McKinney identified Judge Barr as the firm's client. She did not return an Insider call about who is paying for the investigation.
Hardeway says a Republican district judge later stopped him in the courthouse hall to commiserate and said, "I understand they're all over you."
Hardeway says McKinney had gone to Democratic Party headquarters to get copies of the petition shortly before the letters and visits to his supporters began.
"Obviously they think there's something either wrong with my religious persuasion, the pigmentation of my skin, or my quest for a bench that's open to the public," says the candidate.
His wife adds: "Or the fact you may be well qualified and they may need to discount you before you get to the ballot."

The Insider recently reported on the creation of a new energy trading company in Houston with plenty of political wattage -- it received a fat chunk of a city contract with Reliant under the municipal affirmative action program. Now it appears the administration of Mayor Lee Brown is hitting the off switch on PowerSol, which includes figures associated with both the Orlando Sanchez mayoral campaign and City Councilman Gabe Vasquez.
Affirmative Action and Contract Compliance director John DeLeon reports that he has sent the firm a letter "tentatively denying certification" as a qualified minority or disadvantaged business enterprise. DeLeon refused to give further details, saying such information is confidential under state law. Another administration source says PowerSol is out primarily because it has no business track record, violating affirmative action regulations.
Both PowerSol partner Frank McCune and firm attorney Jay Aiyer deny that the city is slamming the door on the company, and insist they'll get approval eventually.
The Insider is willing to bet it won't happen as long as Brown remains mayor.

Alternative Names
New Zealand Maori, Tangata Whenua o Aotearoa.
Location and Linguistic Affiliation
Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Of Polynesian descent, the first voyagers arrived in New Zealand around 1000ad in a series of planned migrations from Eastern Polynesia (probably Tahiti), by way of Rarotonga. Although there are minor tribal dialectal differences, there is a single Maori language that has similarities with other Polynesian languages especially Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Rarotongan.
Overview of the Culture
Maori society was essentially tribal. There were forty or fifty major tribes (iwi) and many more smaller tribal groups (hapu) who occupied specific territories and had distinctive customs and dialects, though subscribing to a single common language. While tribes were largely autonomous, complicated social networks were formed to gain political and strategic advantages and so leading to a dy ...

Rumours that the headteacher of Alnwick's high school has been put on gardening leave have been refuted by the school's chairman of governors.
The rumours started spreading on Facebook following the issue of an apology by Maurice Hall, head of the Duchess's Community High School, after he received a complaint for circulating a 'political' flyer about the petition against the post-16 transport cuts via the school email system.
Yesterday afternoon, chairman of governors Lalage Bosanquet told the Gazette it was not true, but would not comment further.
A county council spokesman said: "It would be inappropriate to comment on this matter at this stage."

Largest Single Project in Boston's History Approved
Designed by architects KPF and backed by a developer team led by Boston Global Investors, the 6.3 million square foot project will include retail, office, hotel, civic and cultural spaces, with nearly 40 percent of the site reserved for green space. The city hopes the $3 billion development will draw high-tech and creative companies and provide affordable housing.
However, some city official are concerned about handing over such a large site to a single developer, notes Ted Smalley Brown:
'While the plan's approval is encouraging, city officials are wary of getting left with acres of vacant sites should the development stall out. Indeed, Boston Global Investors CEO John Hynes III played a lead role in a condo and office tower on the site of the former Filene's department store in nearby Downtown Crossing-a project that notoriously stalled after demolition and excavation in 2008.'

VANCOUVER -- Asked what the difference was in the game, Adrian Aucoin didn't hesitate even a fraction of a second.
"Powerplay," he said, awaiting the next question.
Once again, special teams contributed to a loss for the Calgary Flames -- this time a 4-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks at GM Place last night.
Dead last in the league on the road with a ghastly 9.1% success rating with the man advantage, the Flames squandered two straight 5-on-3 opportunities in the opening minutes of the second period when the score was still knotted 1-1.
"We're forcing the issue a little bit," said an always honest Alex Tanguay. "That's been the case since the start of the year. When you have 5-on-3s, you have to make sure you get good shots. It seems we're all a little anxious. We shoot it when it's not the right time, and we don't shoot it when it's time to shoot it."
Like Aucoin, there was no doubt in Tanguay's mind a powerplay goal would have changed the complexion of the game.
"I think it was a momentum changer," he said. "They came back and scored on their powerplay. I think that was the difference right there.
"We score a couple of goals there and we're up 3-1."
Just seven seconds into the middle period, Alex Edler went off for delay of game after sending the puck over the glass. A minute-and-a-half later, Lukas Krajicek joined him for tripping.
A static Kristian Huselius stickhandling with his feet planted in the circle drew a cry of frustration from the coach's box upstairs -- pretty much summing up what is wrong with the unit these days.
A second opportunity came almost immediately when former Flame Byron Ritchie joined Krajicek for cross-checking Eric Nystrom -- arguably the best Flame on the ice last night.
Again, the Flames failed to gather momentum. And when the Canucks struck for the go-ahead goal a few minutes later, the game was changed.
"Simplify it," said Aucoin, when asked how to fix it. "Just simplify it.
"We have so much skill out there that sometimes we think too much."

Less than a month ago, Apple announced a bunch of new products and pending updates to existing ones, including the Apple TV. The Apple TV one is a highly anticipated update, since it will show whether or not Apple got the whole TV and Internet / computer convergence right this time around, since its previous attempt at Apple TV was laughable, at best. If you're interested, the update started pushing to current Apple TV users today.
I'm actually still debating about picking up an Apple TV. I use a MacBook as a primary and have all of my music and photos on it. The ability to easily stream those to my TV and navigate with an intuitive interface is what I find compelling. My concern at this stage, though, is that I like the price point on the 40 GB Apple TV, but I think that 40 GB might be a bit too little for what could be coming down the pipe in future versions of Apple TV. I'll continue to debate this one, but feel free to guide me, too, in the comments below.

I've just completed the tops, sandwiched and basted (ala Sharon Shambers way) a pair of Twister quilts for my niece-in-law's upcoming twins.
I've bounced around both QB and images.google.com looking to see how people have quilted their Twister quilts, with very few results-- most of the images I've seen are only finished tops.
It appears there are three primary methods:
1. free-motion swirlies all over the quilt, which provides soft curves to an otherwise sharply-cornered geometric pattern;
2. stitch-in-the-ditch, which I kinda like but can't fathom exactly how to work my way across and through the quilt.
3. stitch 1/4" off the "ditch" which looks nice, and would probably be great if hand-quilting, but would be a pain in the neck for machine quilting. I don't have time to hand quilt this pair.
What have you Twister-makers done? And how'd you do it?
Many thanks!

With petrol prices skyrocketing beyond the common mans budget, alternate fuels are sure to make their presence felt sooner than we expected. Mahindra has already thought ahead and will be the first manufacturer to jump onto the electric bandwagon. Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles Pvt. Ltd., a part of the US $15.4 billion Mahindra Group, formally inaugurated its manufacturing facility, which is the first platinum rated automobile facility in India.
EV's are being seen as a serious alternative to fossil fuel driven cars and Mahindra is all set to take a lead in developing the EV segment and the surrounding ecosystem. The new manufacturing plant is, in a way the first tangible proof point of the Future of Mobility – this is the first purpose-built, ground-up EV plant in India, the first manufacturing plant to get IGBC platinum rating, the first plant where cars get their first fill using solar power. In fact, this plant will consume the least amount of energy per car build, with 1/3rd of this energy coming from solar power.
Mahindra Reva also unveiled a host of technologies. The technologies showcased include 'Quick2Charge', by which the car can be charged in 15 minutes to run 25 km, thereby providing customers with increased convenience. In order to tap and use the abundant solar energy for mobility, Mahindra Reva has designed a personal charging unit called 'Sun2Car' which will provide free and clean energy for the lifetime of the car, making it a very cost-effective solution. The technology, 'Car 2 Home' makes it possible to use energy from the car to power a house.
While it cannot be said that only Electrics will rule the future, it is certain that alternate fuels make a strong case for themselves and will be here sooner than you think. And when they do, Mahindra will be ready.

Beyonce Songs Tell Story of 'Cinderella' [VIDEO]
'Cinderella' is one of those fairy tales that has been revamped over and over again. Even the late Whitney Houston and Brandy acted in a made-for-TV musical version of the story. Now YouTube star and 'American Idol' finalist Todrick Hall gives 'Cinderella' the Beyonce twist.
"Cinderonce' takes us into the world of the original fairy tale, but replaces all of the dialogue with Beyonce's big hits. 'Halo,' 'Diva' and 'Freakum Dress' are just some of the tracks that are featured in the video.
While Sasha Fierce isn't actually featured, her spirit is all over this visual. There's even a fairy godmother dressed as Mrs. Carter in a silver, glittering one-shoulder mini and complete with the 'fro-ed out curls.
Like all fairy tales, Cinderonce and her Prince Charming show their love for each other, only here they do it with a rousing performance of 'Love on Top' as they live happily ever after — of course.

Artisan bicycle racks unveiled in Hermosa Beach
Leadership Hermosa Beach will formally unveil new artisan bicycle racks 11 a.m. Saturday, June 11 at 14th Street and the Strand, celebrating a project to place decorative racks with shapes suggesting waves or surfboards at six locations around town.
The racks are the fruits of the 2011 "class project" by the nonprofit group, which was formed to identify civic leaders in the community and to provide service to Hermosa.
Thanks to the group, it will be possible to lash 33 bikes or more to racks along the Strand at 14th, 22nd and Second streets, and at Hermosa Valley Park, the Community Center, Clark Field, and on one concrete pad on private property, at E.T. Surf on Aviation Boulevard.
The "Crown Jewel" of the racks, in the shape of waves lapping an upturned surfboard, sits at the Strand and 14th. The other bike racks suggest waves without the board, and each bear the city seal. They were all designed and crafted by Hermosa artist Daniel Baranbo.
The selection of bike racks for the class project was inspired by a similar one in Long Beach, which was carried out by the city, instead of by volunteers.
Leadership Hermosa's counterparts in neighboring Manhattan Beach also chose bike racks as a service project; the Hermosans say they made the selection first, and the Manhattanites followed their lead(ership), said Hayley Larkin, group leader for the rack project, who is also a real estate broker with a property management business.
The class of 2011 worked to select a community service project, then formed subgroups to strategize fund raising, public relations and various logistical aspects.
Jani Lange of Leadership Hermosa Beach, a sales rep in the surfing industry who is also in event management, said the 20-person class, the largest ever for the group, worked as a team to get the project done.
"We've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this," he said.
He said the diversity of the class, which included longtime Hermosans and relative newcomers, helped keep a broad perspective on the project by bringing a wide variety of viewpoints.
The class established a $6,000 budget and spent about $4,600 on creation of the racks, with the rest going to items such as a publicity campaign including fundraising T-shirts that read "I bike Hermosa," with the word bike represented by a drawing of a bike.
The lion's share of the money for the project, $3,300, came from an event at the Comedy & Magic Club that was headlined by Ralph Harris and featured a surprise appearance by Garry Shandling. The Beach Cities Health District contributed $1,500, and an event at Watermans raised $500.
The group chose Baranbo to craft the racks, and he began by working up designs based on concepts that the Leadership program wanted to convey.
"They wanted something that would represent Hermosa Beach culture and ties to the surf community and its influence on surf culture," Baranbo said. "What better to represent surfing than waves and surfboards, right?"
Baranbo hand-fabricated the racks from round and square mild steel tubing, cutting with a high-powered water jet, bending the steel "using lots of leverage and manpower," and welding everything together. The racks were galvanized and powder coated to prevent rust and add a pleasing finish. Baranbo had to slightly alter the city-seal logos "to keep them structurally sound" within the racks.
"Working with the Hermosa Beach Leadership group was a great experience," Baranbo said. "Everyone in the group was dedicated to getting great things done within their community. I'm happy I was given the opportunity to work on such a cool project within my own community and so close to home. Hermosa Beach has done a lot for me and it's great to be able to give a little something back."
Leadership members said they got help and guidance from City Manager Steve Burrell, Councilman Michael DiVirgilio, Police Chief Greg Savelli, Public Works Commissioner Julian Katz, and the city's Publics Works Department, which took up the task of installing the racks.
New artisan bicycle racks will be unveiled 11 a.m. Saturday, June 11 at 14th Street and the Strand. Those in attendance can win a bicycle donated by Hermosa Cyclery if they ride a bike to the unveiling.

It's not every day that somebody takes up a serious cause on their own, but when they do they can often accomplish great things. One such hero is Janice Serilla, a designer who sells her patterns on Etsy and, it turns out, also has incredible passion for disabled pets. Her blog Gimpy Pets chronicles her experiences, and proceeds from her shop go to local animal shelters and rescues.
With a certain love for dogs of the Papillon breed (but not afraid to extend love to pets of any size), Janice has adopted a number of Papillons in need. From the late Detective Tinkerton (the Papillon that started it all) to Oonagh, Candy, Eagan, and a three-legged cat named Harper, Serilla has made it her mission to help pets who would have a tough time finding a home otherwise.
Meet the Serilla gang:
Rescued from an illegal breeder, Oonagh was found crammed into a tiny cage and pregnant. While, sadly, her puppies did not make it, Oonagh was lucky enough to be taken out of those awful conditions.
She is a Papillon with one eye, but tons of spunk! Recently adopted, Oonagh is no longer living with Serilla, but will always be a part of the family.
Found tick ridden and with a nasty ear infection, walking the streets of Sacramento, Candy was taken in a couple years ago. A seven year old Papillon with leg problems, Candy continues to brighten the Serilla home with her chipper disposition.
Formerly a street dog, this elderly Papillon was barely able to walk when he was picked up due to a serious case of patellar luxation. Thankfully, after a few months of living in a loving home, he was able to put on some much needed weight and can now "hop like a little bunny rabbit around the house."
This cat lost one of his rear legs to vaccine-related sarcoma (or VAS) type cancer. Despite the fact that he is a tripod, Harper shows no signs of slowing down, shooting around the house and playing with his canine siblings all day.
You can follow the lives of these adorable pets on GimpyPets.com.

The original version of this image (featuring duct tape) has been floating around for a bit, I just updated for the 21st century.

Political Wisdom: Better or Worse Off?
Political Wisdom's morning edition rounds up the most important reads from the Journal and other publications, plus runs down early headlines. Follow our coverage on Twitter @wsjwashington and follow Daniel Lippman @dlippman
Top Lines: The Bank of England cut its forecasts for growth and inflation in the U.K. economy. …A Florida estate has been sold for an astounding $47 million, in a sign that the ultra high-end real estate market may be recovering. … Kansas shifted further to the right in Tuesday's primary as several centrist Republicans in the state legislature lost.
Key Reads:
The question of whether you are better off economically than four years ago will likely be a key factor in this year's election, report Jon Hilsenrath and Damian Paletta in the WSJ, in an article that looks at the U.S. economy through the prism of Allentown, Pa.
"Barack Obama took office in January 2009—as credit markets stalled, stocks plunged and unemployment shot higher. Nearly four years later, many Americans have escaped the worst effects of the crisis. But they have made little progress beyond that, according to several measures of the U.S. economy. The November vote is likely to turn on whether more Americans credit President Obama for averting financial catastrophe—a main assertion of his campaign—or blame him for a disappointingly weak recovery, the central message of Republican rival Mitt Romney."
Gu Kailai, the wife of deposed Chinese politician Bo Xilai, goes on trial for murder charges on Thursday in one of the most significant trials in recent Chinese history, writes Jeremy Page in the WSJ.
President Obama is a eager reader of the news, blogs and magazines, but is also a critic of the news media for the failures he sees, writes Amy Chozick in the Times.
As the supply of houses on the market declines, home prices in the second quarter jumped by their largest percentage in at least seven years, reports Nick Timiraos in the WSJ.
Top Republicans are split about whether GOP Rep. Paul Ryan, a rising star in the party, should be chosen as Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick, reports Politico. In the Journal, Naftali Bendavid looks at the pros and cons of Mr. Ryan on the ticket.
Top Op-Eds:
Maureen Dowd writes in her New York Times column that Barack Obama is an "ungrateful president" who doesn't play by the normal rules of politics and thank his big campaign donors.
Dana Milbank writes in his Washington Post column that Mitt Romney and Bain Capital didn't play by ethical rules in its business dealings, especially in the case of an Italian company in the 1990s.
Last Word:
In a segment for the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert pokes fun at the breathless media coverage of who Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick will be.

Do I need a permit to add onto my house? If so, whom do I call?
All general remodeling, structural remodeling, construction additions to existing structures, or detached accessory structures require a building permit. Permits for electrical, plumbing and mechanical work may also be required, depending on the scope of work. A licensed contractor or the homeowner may obtain permits. The following are examples of work that would not require permits:
Who do I call about stop signs or traffic signals?
To report issues concerning street signs or signals (including stolen, damaged, non-reflective, or misspelled signs or to request new signs or signals), please call 3-1-1 Call Center, (225) 389-3090 or submit online at the Citizens Request for Service page. 3-1-1 Call Center will route the complaint to the Traffic Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works that is responsible for all traffic control devices.
Please note:
When new signs or traffic signals are requested, the Traffic Engineering Division will conduct a feasibility study that is usually concluded in 45-60 days.
Who do I call to report potholes?Please call 3-1-1 to report the problem to the 3-1-1 Call Center, (225) 389-3090 or submit online at the Citizens Request for Service page. They will forward the concern to DPW's Street Maintenance Division that repairs potholes on local roadways. This division also repairs low shoulders and concrete panels.
Who should I call for sewer related concerns? The Department of Public Works Wastewater Division (Wastewater Collection Systems and Wastewater Treatment) is responsible for all sewer activities including sewer cave-ins, stoppages and backups. Sewer stoppages are handled immediately.
The Department of Public Works' staff or a private contractor repairs all sewer cave-ins. Based on the investigation of the complaint, prepares a report and then schedules the job for repair by either in-house staff or a private contractor. They may be reached at (225) 389-4858.
Citizens with sewer related issues can contact the Public Works Wastewater Collection Office at (225) 389-4858 Monday through Friday (8 a.m.–3 p.m.) or submit a request online 24 hours a day at the Citizens Request for Service.

The working hours for the Public Works Dispatcher are 3 p.m.–11 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m.–11 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
Who do I call about a parade permit or a street closure?
The Department of Public Works Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for parades, block parties and street closures. Appropriate forms for such requests are available at the Traffic Engineering Division. Each request is reviewed to minimize the impact to the motoring public who may be inconvenienced due to the request. Approval is also needed from Police, Fire and EMS for safety reasons. On some occasions approval is required from the Metropolitan Council, if alcohol is sold on the street right-of-ways. You should contact the Traffic Engineering Division for these types of requests at (225) 389-3246.
Who is responsible for enforcing building codes and how do I report a house that is below code?
The Building Inspection Division is responsible for enforcing building and zoning codes. This is generally done through the permit process, either during the plan review stage or the field inspection phases.
If you would like to report a house that is below code, please call the 3-1-1 Call Center, (225) 389-3090 or submit online a Citizens Request for Service. They will report the concern to the Complaint Section which handles complaints regarding potential building and zoning violations. This section investigates each complaint to determine its validity. If there is a legitimate code violation, the property owner is notified to have the violation resolved. If the violation still exists, action is taken through the Parish Attorney's Office and the individual is brought to court to allow a judge to determine a means of resolution.
Who do I call about a sinkhole or cave-in?
To report sinkholes or cave-ins, please call the 3-1-1 Call Center, (225) 389-3090 or submit online a Citizens Request for Service. They will forward the concern to DPW's Bridge and Canal Division that handles the cleaning of roadside ditches, drainage canals in public servitudes and rights of way.

The sewer pump station near my residence is causing an odor. Who do I call?
Complaints dealing with sewer odors and pump station sites are the responsibility of the Wastewater Treatment Division and that telephone number is (225) 389-2070 during normal working hours.

Saturday, 4 August 2012
US President Barack Obama has signed a covert, secret order authorising the CIA and other US state agencies to support the Syrian counter-revolutionaries, the Salafists, Jihadists and Al-Qaeda fighters. They are from everywhere except Syria, and are seeking to do the same job that they did for NATO in Libya: murder the countrys leader and effect regime change.
The secret Obama order was signed earlier this year and goes hand in hand with the appearance of missiles and heavier weapons in the hands of the pro-NATO forces, at the same time as the Turkish military is being mobilised to join the war, and is already planning it from a secret headquarters just inside the Turkish border in Adana.
The CIAs experience of this type of warfare goes back to Afghanistan, where they organised Osama Bin Laden, dug out his redoubts, and handed over the ground-to-air missiles that were used to shoot down Russian planes. Working with Al-Qaeda holds no fears for the CIA, they have a long working experience with these types of forces.
The object is to carry on from the murder of Gadaffi to overthrow the Syrian Baathist regime, that is secular as well as anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist, as part of their support for the pro-imperialist Gulf feudal regimes who are already fighting the masses in their own countries.
The US has a common interest with the feudalists in wiping out Arab nationalism: all the better to retain control of the oil wealth and advance to a war with Iran.
However, where the US tiger treads, his British hyena follows close behind, seeking to get a small portion of the spoils of victory.
On cue, Cameron has issued a call for regime change in Syria, while his foreign secretary Hague has said that the UK is to increase the assistance it is giving to the Syrian counter-revolutionaries.
The UK would be offering a great deal of practical help to forces opposed to the regime of Bashar al- Assad, he said yesterday.
Todays resolution, to be voted on at the General Assembly of the UN, condemns the Security Council for not carrying the US/UK-backed motion that would have OKd military intervention into Syria, beginning no doubt with a no-fly zone.
With the US no doubt threatening all and sundry with terrible consequences, a majority will be forcibly mustered to carry the motion, which will then be hailed as a vindication of the stand of the US and a condemnation of Russia and Chinas use of the veto.
The motion of the democratic General Assembly will then be used to launch an open imperialist attack on Syria.
The time has come when the working people of the world, particularly the workers of the EU and the US who are being made to pay for the world crisis of the bankers and the bosses, must take a stand alongside the oppressed nations against imperialism.
The enemy of the UK and US workers is at home, it is not in Syria or anywhere else.
The victory of the Syrian people will be our victory, whereas a defeat for them will be used all the more to crush us at home.
The experience of the Iraq War showed that even multi- million demonstrations, on their own, cannot stop an imperialist war.
What is required are massive demonstrations and a general strike to bring down the coalition. The trade union leaders must be made to tell the coalition that they will respond to a US-UK attack on Syria with a general strike to bring down the government and bring in a workers government and socialism.
Our policy must be to march arm-in-arm with the Syrian people to smash capitalism and imperialism.

Not much should be taken from NBA preseason games. Coaches mess around with rotations, players aren't always giving it full effort and games sometimes start at 10 in the morning. But, for the sanity of Milwaukee Bucks fans everywhere, the Bucks (2-4) need to win today's game against the Charlotte Bobcats (1-5).
Last year, the Bobcats were arguably the worst team in NBA history. They set records for least wins (7) and lowest winning percentage (.106), and they finished the season on a 23-game losing streak. Since March 17, the Bobcats are 1-28.
Obviously, this isn't the same Bobcats team as last year. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Ramon Sessions and Jeff Taylor are nice, new, young pieces. Kemba Walker, Bismack Biyombo and Byron Mullens have all improved and they're all really funny to watch. Ben Gordon and Brendon Haywood are sort of competent.
But, unfortunately for Charlotte, none of these players will be able to resurrect the Bobcats. And neither will first year head coach Mike Dunlap. The Bobcats are certain to be bottom dwellers.
So, even with it being preseason, this is a game that the Bucks need to win for the sake of the fans. A loss to the Bobcats, as well as five-straight losses overall, would be extremely unsettling, albeit meaningless.
Doron Lamb Alert:
Matchup of the Game:
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist vs. Tobias Harris
This will be a good test for Tobias Harris. Gilchrist, the 2nd overall pick in the 2012 draft, is one of the few defensive SFs in this league that will be able to match both the strength and quickness of Harris, who has struggled offensively in his past two games. Against Washington and Toronto, Harris was a combined 2-14 from the field with 5 rebounds and 7 fouls in 37 minutes. These numbers will need to quickly improve if Harris hopes to hold claim on the starting job.
Larry Sanders All-Star Watch:
Hey. Guess what? Ian isn't writing this preview. I am. And I love Larry Sanders and you all should too. Allow me to quickly explain.
Larry is just an 'ol fashioned fella that likes to block shots and pick up fouls. He tries hard and he likes to talk about pace. Granted, he may take too many jumpers, he may have frying pans for hands and he may not be able to control his limbs. But those are all just fun quirks that allow us to love him even more. Embrace the Sanders and he will embrace you.
Thank you.
Prediction: The Bucks will win. They'll play with a lot more tenacity than they have in their last two games. The game will finish before lunchtime.
