Nats liken Harper's injury to Brown's
Nats liken Harper's injury to Brown's
Brown hurt his ankle on March 1 and did not play in another Grapefruit League game before being sent to Minor League camp Thursday.
Rizzo did not know if Harper would be ready for Opening Day with Class A Hagerstown. Harper sprained his left ankle during a Minor League intrasquad game at the Washington Nationals Training Complex on Monday morning.
According to an eyewitness, William Yoder, Harper hit a ground ball to short and didn't appear hurt until his foot hit the first-base bag.
Harper was carted off the field and immediately examined by the Nationals' training staff. He is currently listed as day-to-day.
"It's not a mild sprain. It's called a medium sprain, but everything checked out fine," Rizzo said. "It's similar to what Brown went through."

This is actually pretty cool (even if it's ultimately an ad for a company that is currently exploiting workers across the Pacific Rim).
And nice job to Bradley for his pwnage of Adu, but if there is one thing that Americans probably don't need to practice it's hitting the post. Seems we've got that one mastered already.

A rich English gentleman thinks he has found the perfect caretaker for an isolated cottage near the sea: a veteran sailor with a taste for solitude. But when he returns to the cottage months later, the gentleman can find no trace of the caretaker. Then he is savagely attacked by a seagull, normally the most pacifistic of creatures. Next, he encounters a gruesome sight: the corpses of seagulls heaped in a pile on the floor of his apparently abandoned dwelling. Finally, protruding from under the gull's bodies he spies... a human bone! Only in the pages of a confession left behind by the caretaker will he learn the ghastly secret behind all these events.
This is the first-ever audio dramatization of this classic horror tale, with a short introduction about the author Edith Olivier ("The Love Child", "The Night Nurse's Story", "Dead Men's Bones"). Produced in the style of a radio-play with evocative music, exciting special effects and an emotionally stunning climax, it's not to be missed! Adapted for audio and performed by Bill Mills.

Everyone who has The Spirit of God that is;Those that don't will curse God and His Word, We seen that here in this Forum and many others in the net.
But Yet it is been preached.
The Beginning of Sorrows
The destruction of Hurricane Katrina and the sorrows and pains we are all feeling is a wake-up call to America. This universe is on a dead end street to God's judgment. We are only increasing our sorrows to ignore this fact. Every act of sin committed by every living soul is feeding the frenzy of blasphemy against God. There is no sin that does not have consequences. Your little sins may take longer to come to fruition, but they are piling up. The blasphemy against the Bible, the Son of God that sacrifices His blood, and the blasphemy against the very sacredness of human morality and beauty is creating a storm of coming reckoning. Nothing of sin and wickedness can escape the All-Seeing, All-Knowing Creator, our God of the Holy Bible.
Look at the wickedness of this week. In Charlotte there were twenty plus reports of fights and disturbances at gas stations and it is not even bad yet. The sheer chaos in New Orleans is but a small picture of coming sorrows. We have watched a brief picture on a very little scale of the coming Seven Years of the Great Tribulation. Can you imagine living in a world where two to three billion men, women, and children have died, been murdered, or brutally destroyed in the short period of a few years? If you can multiply the sorrow in New Orleans by a few million, then you will begin to understand. Millions of corpses will lie in the open and be devoured by the starving animal kingdom. Much of human population will blaspheme God for the judgment just like the multitudes in New Orleans have attacked the very expression of human compassion that has tried to help them. Human nature is on the verge of descending into such vileness that animals of destruction will seem tame in comparison.<o:p></o:p>
The prophecy of Holy Scripture has set before us a clear and precise picture. Most of the church world has accepted the lie that they are going to set up a kingdom of righteousness. This false idea has many names: Post-Millennialism, Kingdom Dominion, A-Millennialism, etc. It is all a lie, and we are going to see very quickly what falsehood it really represents.<o:p></o:p>
The beginning of the end is very evident and clear to see. Read Revelation chapter six, verses fifteen to seventeen. "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?) (Revelation 6:15-17) The "beginning of sorrows) has begun!

no offense alex ,but come on all this religion stuff is crazy.leave it alone. i know you can find something better to write about than this.
As soon as your respond you egg him on.
He's a fake anyway...
I think the only one's feeling it are those that are a little touched eh?
Cecil you did that very thing a couple of days ago. You ripped him for one of his sermons and then you came back awhile later with the "Alla Akbar" post. Then after that it was the "Charter boat post". That's hardly ignoring him! I liked this site sooo much better when you quit posting, but I KNEW that it wouldn't last.
All I have to say is according to Alex a blessed christian that's on his way to heaven should make jokes using pictures of dead children. That sets the bar for being a man and decent human so high that none of us can touch it Alex. Way to go, you're a shinny example of a Christian man. I'm sure your church family and God would be proud!
Only satan gets upset at the gospel , so I must be doing something right.
I think I found the problem with the some people here who ripp off others, they are ungodly.
...called most of these people. Have you noticed how they respond? If "they" will not humble themselves before GOD and believe in the ransom sacrifice of his only begotton son JESUS CHRIST, these same people will only pay LIP SERVICE and repeat what they have heard instead of what is in their heart. This is the way of many people and the Lord will say he NEVER KNEW THEM.
Take care Alex. I am sure the anti GOD people and the HOLY ROLLERS ON THIS FORUM WILL TWIST AND SHOUT a lot to belittle you.
Little do they truly understand and little will they receive. "So it has been said, so it shall be."--KIM
I am sure The one and only God, three persons in one Godhead, please read the VERY first commandment; THE ONE GOD! is a whole lot bigger than anyone of can even imagine and miles by zillions plus bigger than minds esp. like Kims; who now seems to beleive he is the almighty judge and gatekeeper of all truth. News for ya Kim: You are not and never will be, neither is anyone of us.
Bite my holy butt! How's that?
I may raise hell on here but I don't wear my religion on the sleeve of one arm while punching my fellow man with the other one.
Now you want me to fight a little? Ok. If that is what you want, I will help you out. LOL.
Jimbo, you are far, far out of your league. Go back to your paper manikins and Elmer's glue. You have a chip that needs satisfaction from your own inner self. Stop trying to beatup on other people. Unless that is the spirit you have inside, is it Jimmy?
Don't venture where you have no knowledge or desire to go. Your heart condition is known to many that SEE you for what you are. Ask around at your place of worship. Do you really think they are going to tell you how petty, egotistical and self-righteous you really are? Are you really mad yet Jimbo? LMAO
You really need to kneel before GOD in private and ask for his forgiveness. You see Jim, young man; GOD forgives in a large way. Humans don't. Does that ring a bell? Are you hearing voices Jim?
Please don't include me in your TYPICAL HUMAN hypocrisy. It really shows in your little cliché of wannabes. It is great to see how you misinterpret things and twist whatever is said so you can get a woody about it. LMAO You are funny. I wish you no harm or ill will. But please take your little wooden toys and go away. LOL
Now Jim, did you like what I posted? I did not. But I did so to help you see how far off the path you have gone. You have rage that is going to get you in trouble if it hasen't already. Perhaps we should look up your record and view what you REALLY are involved in, hey Jim?
Best wishes and please, if a post is not directed specifically at you, mind your own business.
Best of luck---KIM (LMAO)
Everyone bow down to our new god Dr. Kim! He is but one of many that he believes in. Go look up narcissism Kim. It fits you perfectly in more ways than one. Keep it up its fun to watch you self distruct in your self importance and almighty knowledge of everything known and unknown to man and beast alike.
You are welcome to bash and bad mouth. You might want to check your phone lines though. Big brother is listening! LOL.Still got those voices telling you what to do? LOL
Continue on and reveal your wispers. It is funny.
Take care Jimmy! LMAO
ME !...talking to you right now! LMAOROF!
What a drama queen you are Jim!
Thanks for the laugh! WE are laughing!
You are not the beast, he will be much smarter and I am sure he is not hiding at his computer like you, behind on his taxidermy work and trying to look good for fellow taxidermists with all his brilance and fine wit. You sure throw it out deep but then can never take it. Go lick yourself.
Again, I wish you well. Keep the faith and have fun. Just be nice to all of US lesser peoples. Show that mercy and forgiveness that is so often preached but never really given by those that preach it.
Love and kisses ! LMAO
Your lines are my lines, but as usual you forgot or choose NOT to when applied to anybody and everybody but yourself. Are you a homosexual? For me I would never hug or kiss you, you do enough of that to yourself for all of us. Again, n-a-r-c-i-s-s-i-s-m. alias Kim, the witty boy of many gods who knows all about all. Tell us more about all your degrees almighty smart one.
So, If I told you to kiss my buttox, you would take that seriously? GEE! You are a sick puppy! LOL
Jim, I am going to have to bill you for this therapy. Since I don't live off of the welfare of others I have no choice but to charge you. But then you don't understand do you? (After all, it does take a while to write comedy) LMAO Please pay your bill promptly and I won't have to involve the credit bureaus. I'll bet you KNOW what I am talking about? Shall I reveal more detailed information? Oh, don't fret, your secret is safe! LOL
Poor Jim. You are something! You really have some demons to work out, huh? You profess to know the Lord Jesus Christ and his ways, yet you do not want to set the example. It would seem that you are a hypocrite. The sad thing is you don't know it.
You are shrewd doing your best to cause strife and problems and foster arguments. Your gay blade desire is starting to surface? It would seem that you bring on the death sentence yourself from GOD. Stay away from us good folk! You are a marked person and I don't think it is for the good things in life. Know what I mean Jim?
Well, Jimbo, I will not waste all day playing games with you. I have a real business and important matters to attend to. I feel sorry that you have little hope and little to look forward to each day. Perhaps that is why you desire to bicker and argue so much. Young Jimmy boy, try to be a better person; things are not that bad. Try keeping away from the computer and get some work done. You part time glory boys are all the same...
BTW, the charge this time is only $150. Does that amount sound familiar? LOL
Jesus forgives, why have you forsaken him? Pray Jim, your very soul is at stake.—notice the choice of words. LOL
This has been fun and a total waste of time. Be looking for my bill in the mail.LOL
a waste of time! But its so fun. You sure like to see your own print don't you? I love wasting your time because its so "wasteable", kind of like your so called multi god religion and knowledge of things. Ha ha ha ha
I see things are getting back to normal on here-where's george?

Additional Information
ImpoliteSociety is ELEE & Westley J. Parker, two pretty dope artists from Chicago making regular-ass, unhyphenated, Hip-Hop. The origins of ImpoliteSociety can be traced back to the Fall of 2007, the start of the duo's senior year of high school when they met. Dudes clicked and started making music thereafter. Since then ELEE & Westley have been putting it down across Chicagoland, hosting shows and opening for cats including Big Sean, Rhymefest and many other Chicago honorables, performing at festivals like the Wicker Park Fest and such, too. Their debut mixtape "Can't Dance, Nor Do I Care to Learn," is in progress (12/25/11) and the EPish project "Ask Me About My Mixtape" (8/14/11) is en route.
Fess Grandiose, born and raised in South Side Chicago, began as a DJ at the age of 17. He quickly gained admiration for all that Hip-Hop music is and humbly embraced the art of MCing and beat making. Now at the age of 24, Fess can be deemed as a triple threat- MC/DJ/Producer. Where new school Hip-Hop meets vintage vibes, Fess brings something new to the industry- versatility. DJing his own set while performing is just part of his skills that sets him apart. Booking Fess in not just another rap performance, it's a grandiose event. Fess holds complete control of his music; from the lyrics, to production, down to the scratching. He prides himself on passionately staying true to Hip-Hop, while soulfully adding his own personal inspiration to his music. He is inspired by the old school likes of Jimi Hendrix, Parliament Funkadelic, Herby Hancock, and Led Zeppelin. Combined with the new school influences of Madlib, J Dilla, The Roots, and MF Doom, you'll be wondering what is to come next.
From the arson stroked streets of Flint, Michigan, Cadillac Duke paints a picture of a deteriorated past with his mix of urban street flavor over an eclectic mix of organically, raw and digestible beats. Lyrically the content is harshly literal except for a few, subtle metaphorical phrases sprung in between emotionally thick lyrics that not only provoke emotion, but also give insight into his vivid imagination.
At 21 this young Mc is new to the Chicago hip-hop scene, usually found clad in a throw -back basketball jersey and a snap-back, Cadillac Duke is sure break the mold and re-enter with a characteristically unique style of hip-hop.

Fall Brawl 2016 Real Time Rankings
Last Updated - 10/15/2017 06:07:26 PM
Page 57 of 260
One of the many valued sponsors is Sea Tow of Ocean Isle Beach. The FIRST thing you should buy for your boat is SEA TOW coverage!
Please don't forget Bell and Bell GMC, Buick in Little River and all the other sponsors!
OK, entries are winding down, still taking a few last minutes on-line. But as of 9pm we have 190 boat entries !!!! That is outstanding. Thanks so much to all participants for joining in the 2011 Fall Brawl. Good luck to all fishing tomorrow. See you at the weigh in.
The wind blew hard West today but is supposed to lay tonight. We have offshore trips scheduled for both boats tomorrow, so we will have a report tomorrow evening. The weather report is actually looking pretty good. Things may just come together for this one, possibly a repeat of last year? Stay tuned --
The title came from Bob Newell's report of a trip he, Johnathan Olgesby, Andrew Sanderson and Matt Moore took on Bob's Black Dog.
They were all geared up for wahoo, but put one TLD 25 with a circle hook on board. They caught a nice wahoo and some slinger mahi at the Steeples in the morning along a weed line in 78 degree water. They decided to move at lunch and found nice 80 degree blue water at the 100/400. They set out wahoo gear and worked the ledges. Having no luck, they decided to leave at 3. But as they were getting ready to take up the sail fish began showing up in the teaser and hitting planer rods, wire, you name it! But they were skunked, going 0-4, missing strong hook ups with j hooks. One of the crew, Johnathan started prospecting and sure enough fish on!! with a perfect drop back.
As Bob reiterated, don't give up on the stream!
Thanks for the report Bob!
As Rickey reported, we ran a couple of full day charters yesterday. We fished in 90 feet of water and caught a couple of Grouper, but the current was bad which made bottom fishing tough. We decided to focus on topwater slow trolling and did quite well with a few surprises. We saw plenty of the "auxillary" species (Jacks and Cudas) but spiced things up with Kings, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna and Dolphin -- in October in 90 feet of water- pretty cool. The conditions were pretty sloppy, but we ended up with a good catch and a good mixed bag.
For all you Fall Brawlers out there, there are Kings in the 80-100 foot depths, but as far as I've seen thus far, they are all in the 12-20 pound range. Where are the big fish?? The deal this weekend is one of the gambles-- you can either wait at Lighthouse Rocks for the bite to turn on, and if it does, you are golden. Or, you can bank on it NOT turning on and head offshore a bit to try to find action and hope to find a nice size fish. It is a hard one to call. Pogys have been tough for a week now. We caught them yesterday on Jaybird shoal offshore of the lighthouse. One thing, if you do head offshore, there are lots of Cigar Minnows at artificial reefs and wrecks. If you stay inshore, the Bluefish have been around the inlet mouths- and, don't underestimate a Spot.
Tim Blanton of Integrity Air Monitoring of Huntersville, N.C. made a return visit to the OIFC chartering both Cat Boats Captaining the Cats were Capt. Brant, Capt. Chris Dew and Capt. Steele Park. Joining them were Jim Lewis, Tim Agner, Gary Yoder, Athena Strickland, Dave Mundy and Larry McCaskill.
The boats stopped on their way out and got pogies in 8 ft. of water and jigged up some monster cigar minnows. They started working in 100 foot deep water in the area of the Horseshoe. The water was in the low 70 degree mark.
Jim caught a wahoo, Tim landed a king, Gary a blackfin and an amberjack and Dave boated a mahi and a grouper.
The happy crew made it to the docks just before the rain set in. The rain couldn't dampen their spirits.
After a full day of work for both parents our bun in the oven dinged! Thats right! Just shortly after getting in the bed my wife is hollering at me. My water broke! As Capt. Brant would say, "Oh Crap!!!", my words exactly too. The chaos was somehow handled in organized fashion. I thought the baby was going to come a lot faster, but it turned out to be a slow drawn out process. What started at 12:30a.m. Saturday morning did not come to an end until 1:59p.m. Saturday afternoon. Jasper Carlton Frick arrived at 1:59pm shortly after halftime of the South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Mississippi State game. Jasper weighed in a 8lbs. 8ozs and measured 20 inches. Healthy baby boy! You couldn't have asked for a better day than that! A successful delivery of a healthy baby boy and the Gamecocks won. Two miracles on the same day. LOL! See ya on the water!
In the picture below: Capt. Jacob, (wife) Mandy, (son) Jake, and (son) Jasper
Why in the world had the bait on the beach been so thick you could walk on it, then decide to hide out yesterday. Team "Do Work/OIFC" looked for bait all morning. The crew, aboard OIFC's It Works looked for bait from the Shallotte inlet all the way to Snow's Cut and back. Finally at 12:10 there were a couple of flips near the Ocean Isle pier. Captain Jeff Beck threw his Capt. Brant's custom heavy net blind and floated the net. "Do Work/OIFC" wasn't the only team experiencing the same problem.
When the scales closed at 5PM, "In Too Deep" won the gold and Keith Berciunas, Christa Lee, Samantha Thompson and Hunter Berciunas of the "EZ Now" got the sliver a mere 12 oz. behind the 1st place "In Too Deep". Samantha was the angler of the 2nd place king, she also won the Lady Angler Award. This was also her 1st king! Christa is the lady holding the king on the boat. Samantha and Hunter are pictured at the weigh in. I do believe they are hooked on tournament fishing. Which is a good thing.
The OIFC's teams suffered, with Capts. Brant, Barrett, Amy and 1st mate Caroline weighing in a 20 Lb king. We're licking our wounds but will be cocked and locked for this week's Fall Brawl.
Congratulations to all the teams weighing in fish, especially "In Too" Deep" who also won the Rumble last year!
The annual Fall Brawl King Classic is this coming weekend. The capt meeting will be on Friday and fishing will be allowed 1 out of 2 days- Saturday OR Sunday. You can enter-online thru Friday PM or stop by the OIFC any time this week. For information and entry form on the Fall Brawl- CLICK HERE
The weather usually plays a big role in deciding whether or not to fish. Keep an eye out as at this point, the timing is looking pretty good for a front to pass midweek which may mean good conditions for the weekend. Be ready!
This past weekend the Rumble in the Jungle tournament was held from Little River. The bite was pretty slow all around as the weather was very unstable, with winds shifting through most of the tournament. There were fish caught at Lighthouse Rocks and Myrtle Beach Rocks, both historically good places this time of year. I'd look for them to produce again this coming weekend.
Hope to see you at the Fall Brawl ----
Also in other news, the Wahoo bite was good at the Black Jack on Sunday. Conditions were a bit sloppy, but boats that made it all reported multiple bites and catches. This fishery is typically exceptional thru Christmas. Gag Grouper still in the 70-90 foot depth range.

From colleagues:
"Jon is a veteran entrepreneur who knows what he's talking about.
Savvy, street-smart advice." John Mullins, Associate Professor, Chair – Entrepreneurship, London
Business School
'Jon has been invaluable in his role coaching business teams in my course Tech Venture Formation at Stanford School of Engineering. Over the past several years he has coached numerous teams in building businesses from the ground up while avoiding many of the usual failure modes in startup companies. His depth of experience makes him immediately credible in this role and is one of the characteristics that distinguishes the quality of the Stanford offering.' Mike Lyons, Stanford University
'Jon Gillespie-Brown is an entrepreneur who knows what it takes to be an entrepreneur. He has shared his used-wisdom as a mentor in my course, Technology Venture Formation, at Stanford University where he has been an inspiration to the student teams who have benefitted from his guidance. I'm pleased to see that Jon has captured his insights in a book which can influence aspiring entrepreneurs everywhere.' Audrey MacLean, Stanford University
"Jon and I worked together when he was an Entrepreneur in residence at the London Business School and we had a fun time together helping the students and developing the course. Jon not only engaged with the MBAs but also added value to the course with ideas and insights. The students rated Jon's performance as 4.8/5 so that says a lot about his dedication to helping others develop their entrepreneurial dreams" Anne Miller, Director, A Miller & Associates (lead for FEM program, London Business School)
"Jon puts full energy behind the projects he gets into. I first met Jon through mutual friends at London Business School (LBS) where he has mentored and championed many projects. He works hard, connects with people and promotes entrepreneurship like a champion. I suggest reading his latest book and grab a coffee with him in Silicon Valley while he does his latest startup!" David Gardner, CEO at Infogrames
"Jon is one of my mentors and is a true entrepreneur. Jon helped me in my journey towards becoming an entrepreneur by giving up his time and advice whilst I was on the Entrepreneurship Summer School Program at London Business School. Jon was one of the Entrepreneurs in Residence and provided me with a great deal of support and guidance, along with inspiration, which ultimately led to me setting up my own venture with two other co-founders called WAYN (Where Are You Now?). I thoroughly recommend Jon and his new book, which is filled with useful anecotes and exercises designed to inspire and encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs and ultimetly help you to decide whether entrepeneurship is for you? I've already given a copy of the book to my cousin who has said that having read it – she really wants to set up her own business and that the boke helped her to believe more in herself and what potential she has in the future. I have read the book and found it to be a useful reminder on the key lessons to follow and will continue to recommend this book to others." Peter Ward, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, WAYN.com
"Jon is an enthusiastic and energetic entrepreneur with a thorough understanding of the needs of the IT industry, but in addition he is much more broadly based. He also has a strong interest in education and mentoring in the field of entrepreneurship. I have worked with him at the London Business School Entrepreneurship Club, and found him an interesting and inspiring colleague and friend." Derek Barr, Chairman, InterResolve Holdings Ltd
"Jon's success as a serial entrepreneur has been an inspiration to many of us who have had the chance to know and work with him. His work with business students at Stanford University and The London Business School have been an inspiration to a number of young entrpreneurs on both sides of the Atlantic. Over the past decade Jon has provided me with very insightful help in both my personal and professional life – and in particular – with insights into starting and managing high growth, entrprenuerial software companies. His ideas and objective advice are of value to anyone working in similar environments." Michael Cottle, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, deCarta
"I have known John for over 15 years and have greatly enjoyed my time with him. He has a true flair for business and is an ideas person with unlimited energy and a strong personality.He has been a pleasure to work with." Howard Shaw, Managing Director, Timeplex
"Ever since first meeting Jon over 8 years ago, we have 'sounded' each other out many times on Entrepreneurial discussions and possible business ideas. His unwavering contribution to other like-minded individuals to help them nurture and develop their own business is nothing short of phenomenal.If there was ever anyone who embodies the 'contribution theory' then this depicts him brilliantly. He has selflessly given over the years with many many hours of advice, which frankly, has proved invaluable.
Jon has a superb brain forged from a well rounded career, sharpened by mentoring aspiring individuals in the London Business School, polished by surrounding himself with his own dream-team of self made business builders and the end product is a vault of information which if you ever have the chance to sit down with and unlock you'd be wise to draw from." Lucien Butler, Managing Director, Healthworks Ltd
"Jon is an entrepreneur extraordinaire. I have known him for a few years now and have come to realize how much he understands the true nature of entrepreneurship and what it takes to bring a business to life. His dedication to the business world and commitment to enable entrepreneurs (and other individuals for that matter) to succeed is refreshing in a world consumed with personal interest and narcissism. There are no conversation with Jon in which you wouldn't gain some insights. I highly recommend him to whomever has a chance to come in contact with him." Philippe Lavie, President, KeyRoad Enterprises, LLC
"As an entrepreneur myself, I have asked Jon for his opinion on many occasions and on a wide variety of subjects. He has consistently provided excellent advice and shown a very solid understanding of the mechanics and the machinations involved in founding, running and growing a business. This understanding has helped me in my endeavours on more than one occasion and I am sure I will be the beneficiary of Jon's wisdom in the future." Freddy
May, CEO, Quask
"Jon, is in my view a classic entrepreneur with a very good track record of building businesses and selling them at the right time. I am an investor in Nalpeiron, because I felt that Jon has the creative, sales and leadership skills necessary to build a business with substantial value." Adrian Carey, Executive Chairman, Melorio plc
"Jon is a keen listener, an insightful businessman, and a refreshingly humble guy for someone with his experience and history of success. If he's got something to say about the art of entrepreneurship, I'm going to make sure I'm on line to hear it." Bob
Corrigan, Vice President, Product Management, Emmi Solutions,LLC
"Jon Gillespie-Brown is a brilliant entrepreneur who can really communicate the value behind his vision and strategy. I have had the opportunity to know Jon for about 5 years and he is one of the most driven and passionate individuals I have ever met. He has an uncanny ability to recognize the value of combined experience to bring people and ideas together to ultimately create opportunity. I think overall his honesty and warmth is what makes him very unique in the business community." Paul
Goldman, Managing Partner, Maxwell Taylor LLC
"Jon has shown himself to be a man of openess, honesty, action and determination. Despite the hurdles we have faced in trying to find a relationship between our respective businesses over a long period of time, Jon shows continual respect, and a drive to deliver exceptional value to both sides of a deal." David Wright, Worldwide Director, Licensing Technology, Symantec
"I knew Jon as a young man, starting out in his career, but even then he had a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit and always carried out his job with great panache. He joined an Australian start-up as their first salesman in the UK and enjoyed considerable success getting them established in a very mature market. He's been successful in everything he set out to do since and I wish him well." Adrian Foster-Fletcher, Owner, Focus Executive Ltd

November 18, 2008 Yingjie (Roger) Zheng, Student, Stanford University

I used to think raising money through banks and investment would be all I needed to make a business work Jon has taught me that money only has a real value once you are able to add value to it and make more from it. He is bright, knowledgeable, quick thinking, very straight and direct. You can trust in what he tells you is the best he can offer and when he is not sure he will tell you, that sort of trust goes a long way when you are on your own trying to make important life changing decisions."

Save Money, Improve Safety, and Achieve Compliance with Sage's IR Camera Services
and Courses
Have a facility audit or inspection coming up? Sage can provide a trained thermographer to perform a quick facility survey that will identify any significant emission sources in time for you to correct them and avoid a costly citation. Sage is an industry leader in the application of infrared (IR) camera technology to find costly and dangerous leaks in hydrocarbon lines, natural gas lines, and processing equipment such as valves, flanges, connectors, gauges, pumps, and compressors, scrubbers, fin fans, tanks, and heat exchangers to name a few.
Prior to equipment start-up, Sage engineers are often called upon to perform an IR survey for leaks that could present a significant safety concern, including on off-shore platforms. Whatever the scenario, if it involves IR-detectable emissions, Sage thermographers can find them, and, if you wish, easily video them for your records.
The IR camera—A powerful tool
IR cameras are important allies in your quest for product recovery, safety, cost savings, and compliance because they:
- Can detect more than 20 different gases (including benzene, ethanol, ethylbenzene, heptane, hexane, isoprene, methanol, MEK, MIBK, octane, pentane, 1-Pentene, toluene, xylene, butane, ethane, methane, propane, ethylene, and propylene)
- Enable you to visualize gas leaks in real time
- Reduce inspection time
- Scan large areas and hundreds of components quickly and efficiently to prevent unexpected service outages and lost revenues
- Reduce repair down time and provide verification of the process
- Enhance safety, allowing potentially dangerous leaks to be monitored from several meters away
- Improve your environmental and regulatory compliance significantly
- Protect the environment
Why call Sage for IR camera leak detection?
Not only does Sage Environmental Consulting have a number of nationally recognized LDAR experts on staff; we also have extensive experience with IR cameras in the petrochemical and refining industries.
Plus, we teach an introductory course in how to use IR cameras and a Level I thermography certification course (see orange call-out box).
No job is too big or small—we've done everything including one-day IR camera scans at refining facilities, week-long surveys of gas compressor stations, complete surveys of refinery process units and an eight-month-long project in which we visited close to 400 natural gas facilities with the IR camera, identifying over 1,300 hydrocarbon emission points .
Using high-flow samplers with IR cameras
While IR cameras are effective in determining where fugitive emissions are, they can't tell you how much gas or what type of pollutant is being emitted from a particular leak.
Using the IR camera together with high-flow samplers and evacuated Summa canisters, Sage can not only tell you where your leaks are, but exactly what is leaking and by how much in pounds per hour or tons per year. Having Sage quantify your emissions can have significant benefits. Knowing how much vapor is being emitted from a particular component, for instance, allows you to put a dollar figure on lost product and thereby plan a cost effective maintenance strategy.
Do You Know
Learn how to use IR cameras—at your own facility!
Sage teaches two IR camera courses on-site at our clients' facilities. Both courses feature the FLIR GasFindIR™ camera and the newer FLIR GF320 camera.
- Our one-day introductory course is a practical, hands-on session that teaches you how to use IR cameras to detect leaks effectively.
- In our 2 and 1/2-day Level 1 Thermography Training Course, you'll learn how to use the cameras, be introduced to the theory behind the technology, and receive Level 1 Thermography certification in IR camera operation from Sage Environmental Consulting.
Our instructors will travel to your facility and conduct either class at a fixed price. Please contact us for details.

N Natori Response: Hi LW, The N Natori Sensuous Curves bra runs slightly shallow in the cup. If you are full-busted, I advise going up a cup size. You may want to try the new Link text for a fuller cup. Thanks for trying N Natori.
LW from NJ
Natori Response: Karen, it is possible a snugger band will help if the straps need to work so hard. The support for the bra should be coming from the band and not the straps. For a beautiful lace silhouette with larger straps, Sheer Luxe Cut and Sew Bra 1336104 may be the perfect solution.
Karen from ohio
N by Natori Response: If you are full busted, you should definitely size up a cup in this style for optimum shape and support.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the The Graveyard Shift, which is hosted by Kotaku's reader-run blog, TAY. This is a place to talk about life, video games, or anything else you want, so feel free to hop in and join in the topic discussion, or anything else you want. Then, when you're done, feel free to dive into other articles on TAY and TAYCLASSIC. Is this your first time on TAY? Then check out this handy TAYtorial!
So, now that I'm working my way out of my slump, I've been spending a little bit more time playing with some fellow TAYers, whenever I have the opportunity. And it's definitely great fun ^^ In fact, as much as I love GTA:O, and can kill countless hours effortlessly on there, I gotta say that last Saturday (Hint: Game Night) was probably the most fun I've had with the game ever since launch day. For a good while, my sides just hurt nonstop. We spent a good time racing, doing missions, and even went skydiving together! See? I got pics to prove it! . . . Ish~
And I was thinking . . . You guys ever realize how much a game changes when playing with other people? Part of the reason I love GTA so much, is because I totally have a blast pretending I'm some professional transporter/hitman just going around taking on clandestine missions, and doing everything methodically. But as soon as I have friends on the same lobby, that all goes out the window, and it's C4 being tossed carelessly at choppers, lighting boats on fire, and blowing up enemy cars within blast distance of yourself, because you're going too fast and too stupid to care. Now, I don't mind that at all. It's great, stupid, raw fun. But there's definitely people who are more strict and "efficient" about things . . . *COUGH COUGH SNAK COUGH Y U NO JOIN US COUGH COUGH* . . So yea ^^ Ever think there's games that are more fun with other people, whereas some are definitely meant to be enjoyed by your own rules?

Q: I receive many calls from elderly customers who are uncomfortable trying to figure out our products on their own. Should I avoid these time-consuming customers so that I can help more people throughout the day?
A: The population of the United States is aging -- and that means your customer base is aging too.
Don't let your impatience ruin what could be a wonderful relationship, stresses Jennifer Buerk, a customer service rep for Fidelity Communications. Here's how she turned a potentially irritating experience into a boon for her company:
Listen carefully. You may want to interrupt the customer's explanation so that you can rush him off the phone. However, by really listening to your customer, you can better gauge his level of experience and what he needs from you.
Provide a personal service. Now that you know what the customer needs, you can go above and beyond the call of duty. For instance, Buerk's customer wasn't sure how to operate a leased DVR, so Buerk mailed him the complete manual -- even though he received one with his equipment.
Be available for follow-up calls. Despite receiving the manual, Buerk's customer still had questions. When he called, Buerk took the time to address each of his concerns and made sure he understood his device.
Lesson Learned:Buerk's customer was so impressed with her service that he not only became a loyal customer, he also sent her a Christmas card thanking her for being so kind to him!

Sir Bob Geldof makes first Irish appearance since Peaches' death with impromptu Dublin pub performance
A familiar face in the world of rock n' roll took to the stage for an impromptu performance in a Dublin bar this weekend.
World-famous singer and political activist Sir Bob Geldof surprised the crowd as he joined Cavan band The Strypes on the stage in the capital.
It was the grieving father's first public appearance in Ireland since the death of his daughter Peaches Geldof (25) three months ago.
Mum-of-two Peaches was found dead at her home in Kent as a result of a suspected heroin overdose.
Sir Bob shocked fans when he walked through the doors of Dame Street pub Sweeney's which was hosting a night of music in celebration of its fifth birthday.
A spokewoman for Sweeney's told independent.ie Geldof has visited the pub before but was not expected to treat fans to a performance.
"Sir Bob has been here a few times and there had been whispers that he'd come to support The Strypes, but we didn't expect him to get on stage," she said.
"They're all young lads and he is good friends with them and wants them to do well," she said.
Geldof joined the Irish four-piece rock band for a couple of songs and left the stage as they completed their set. He stayed at the pub for the remainder of the party with the young singers.
The father, who had three daughters with his late wife Paula Yates and adopted her child with second husband Michael Hutchence, recently spoke of the 'intolerable' pain he continues to feel after the death of Peaches.
Saying his emotion was still 'very raw', Geldof described how he sometimes 'buckles' when he thinks of his loss out of the blue.
"I'm walking down the road and suddenly out of the blue there's an awareness of her - and you know, I buckle.
"And I've got to be very careful because walking down the Kings Road there are paparazzi everywhere so I have to duck off into a lane or something, and blub for a while and then get on with it and that's it, so I'd imagine that will be there for a long time, I mean what else?," he told ITV's Lorraine show.
The Boomtown Rats frontman has also recently announced a national tour with his reconvened band.

Evidently UTA did close at 3pm, and Johnson spoke at 6pm as scheduled.
Let the record show: on the single snowiest day in the history of Dallas/Ft Worth, the University of Texas at Arlington was open for business as usual.
UTA usually closes at the hint of a flake in the wind, so faculty and staff were perplexed at finding themselves on campus yesterday. It was tough to drive, tougher to walk in from your car, and once you'd walked in, Thursday provided a ghost-town experience, classes and meetings mostly unattended by people who'd had the sense to stay home.
Among those who soldiered in, the questions bubbled up: why are we here? Why isn't UTA closed? In the universal human struggle to make meaning, people asked themselves: why is this day not like other days? Since it apparently wasn't Passover, people started scanning the UTA Events Calendar for something out of the ordinary.
Come to find that Earvin "Magic" Johnson was fixing to talk Thursday evening at Texas Hall. His topic was "32 Ways to Be a Champion in Business." (As one wag put it, the first of the 32 is "Be a basketball Hall of Famer.")
Critical thinking in the English Department quickly centered on a connection between Magic and the fact that we were tramping through a foot of slush to get to our depopulated classes. Or rather, a connection between somebody and the slush. Certain faculty opined that Michael Jordan was to blame. Others suspected Michael Irvin. But whoever they thought was speaking, suspicions ran high: they're not closing UTA because they don't want to cancel the sports guy.
F2F in offices and classrooms, on Facebook and Twitter among those who'd stayed toastily at home, we saw the birth of a meme: yeah, they'll close this place at the first flurry, but if there's any schmoozing with the stars scheduled for that evening, they'll make us all drive in from Waxahachie.
Memes are fascinating things: in moments, they morph from snarky remark to common wisdom, with minimal pause for reflection in between. Because really, the "can't close, Magic's here" meme makes no logical sense whatsoever. Classes started at 8am; Magic was going to talk at 6pm. If it was important for Magic to speak at all costs, why not cancel daytime classes and announce that the University would open at 6pm? For that matter, why not announce that everything but Magic would be cancelled?
Worst case, the lecture itself would have to be cancelled. But reflect. Magic's in town already. His speaker's fee is a sunk cost. Instead of putting everybody through the ordeal of "32 Ways to Be a Champion in Business," the great man could have proceeded directly to whatever upmarket watering hole the suits had picked out for his face time with the high rollers, sparing all concerned an hour of their lives and actually increasing the benefit to UTA.
No, I gotta call nonsense on the Magic meme. And I don't have any very good theory to offer in its place. To invoke Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time." When I got up at 6am on Thursday, there was snow on the lawn, but the paths and streets were clear. By 630, I remarked to my plus-one, "Could that be new snow on the walk?" By 8am, the new snow was ankle-deep, and we were splashing doggedly through it on our way to deliver quality instructional minutes.
No, I probably wouldn't have closed UTA either. After all, when Magic Johnson and I (and 55,000 other people) were students at Michigan State in the 1970s, eleven inches of wet snow would have been just another school day. It wouldn't have been one of my brightest decisions, but I'd have kept UTA open, and (as in the actual event) no real harm would have resulted.
But people crave order instead of randomness, key determining factors instead of "whatever," and sinister motives instead of inertial forces. And always, everywhere, memes represent a collective distrust of authority that is salutary for a community.
UTA – like nearly every school, government, and corporation in the world – is in the business of producing hot air. Our leaders insist on branding us "Mavericks," when we seem to be indistinguishable from any other large state university in the country. They loudly proclaim that we are moving toward "Tier One" status, when many faculty in the humanities are staggeringly overworked, and paid at near-poverty levels ($12,500 a semester to teach five classes is common). Neighbors of UTA get cheery mailings suggesting that UTA and Arlington are working together to make our city a real "college town," although, in a city with a downtown so empty that every day seems like a snow day, a city famous for razing neighborhoods to put up stadiums with vast parking lots, UTA's biggest new community initiative is . . . putting up a stadium with a vast parking lot.
Every institution in the world, I repeat, engages in such hollow rhetoric continuously. UTA is no worse than others, and is a pretty good place to work in lots of ways. But whenever there's a high volume of white noise from officialdom, people stop listening pretty quickly. As a coping mechanism, they construct memes that cynically find hypocrisy at the heart of random, or even well-intentioned, behavior.
—Tim Morris
Evidently UTA did close at 3pm, and Johnson spoke at 6pm as scheduled.
Well said! I'll have to tell you about my meeting with a city official today. 🙂
Thanks for pointing out my first in-the-process birth of a meme. Doing so will allow me to think about earlier bith-of-memes & those I will encounter in the future.

I'm going to give you some history on chairs. Chairs? Yes, that's right I said chairs. Now I know this might sound odd but there are some really interesting facts I'd love to share with you. They have been around for a very long time.
Chairs date back all the way to 2 B.C. There are so many different types of chairs and I'm sure most of us use them every day. I'm sitting in a chair right now as I write-up this post. I'm actually sitting in a hard chair that's suppose to be used at a card table. I know I should have a nice computer chair while I sit down at the computer, but I don't. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to get one of those nice cushioned computer chairs that spin around. Charles Darwin was the inventor of the office chairs. He actually put wheels on his chair so that he could get his specimens quicker while in his study. Weird, right?
How about the chairs with cushions on them…Where did those come from? In the medieval times cushions were used to ease the hardness of the wooden stool or chair. They came in many different types of colors and patterns. They were also used in both the poor and wealthy homes.
How about the chair of torture..I wouldn't want to have to be stuck in one of those. That just looks painful. These chairs have spikes all around them. They can range anywhere from 500-1,500 spikes. I honestly don't think I would have survived very long in one of these. That's just pure torture.
Speaking of chairs, Serrano's Furniture has some on sale right now. Check out some of their dining area chairs for some great deals.
Have you really put much thought in to chairs? I bet you haven't. I will say that I surely haven't until now. It's very interesting to see some of the chairs back in the old times and then look at them now. Everything has really changed now.

LONDON, April 27 (Reuters) - European shares were steady on Wednesday, with markets supported by gains at sportswear group Adidas and British bank Barclays, although some tech stocks fell after lower sales at Apple.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was flat, while the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index advanced 0.1 percent.
Germany's DAX rose 0.1 percent while Spain's IBEX progressed 0.6 percent, with Spain set for new elections in June.
Shares in German sporting goods group Adidas surged 6 percent after the company hiked its guidance for 2016 as it reported a 35 percent jump in first-quarter operating profit, citing strong brand momentum.
Barclays also rose 4.2 percent. Even though Barclays reported a slump in profits, some traders pointed to a relatively strong performance at the bank's UK division as helping to boost the shares.
However, technology stocks such as AMS, Dialog Semiconductor and ARM lost ground after Apple posted its first-ever decline in iPhone sales and its first revenue drop in 13 years. (Reporting by Sudip Kar-Gupta; Editing by Atul Prakash)

In the fall of 1975, not long after the release of "Born to Run," I got a call from a publicist at Columbia Records asking if I'd like to interview Bruce Springsteen. It seemed Springsteen had read my rave review of the album in the Washington Star, the paper I worked for at the time, and a couple of my reviews of his live shows. He had put me on the short-list of writers he'd like to talk to.
Of course, at the time, everyone wanted to talk to Springsteen. "Born to Run" had taken off like a rocket, and Springsteen had been on the covers of both Time and Newsweek — in the same week. My editors told me to drop everything else and get to New York for the interview.
I met Springsteen, who had just turned 26 at the time, in an office in Manhattan. It was late on Friday, and the offices were emptying so that, not long into the interview, he and I were all but alone. It was supposed to last a half-hour or so, but instead went on for a couple of hours with the two of us talking about everything from the impact of those Time and Newsweek covers to the music of Roy Orbison and the guitar work of Duane Eddy.
I would interview Springsteen once more (briefly) and would run into him backstage at a couple of concerts. But within a few years, I switched from writing about music to the news and so simply became a fan of the Boss.
But those few hours in New York have stuck with me. Not that Springsteen had said anything that profound — although he was as articulate and engaging an interviewee then as now — but just how downbeat much of the conversation had been. It wasn't so much what he said but the tone with which he said it. When I started to press him on something, he would retreat, not so much becoming elusive as simply not opening up. Even with very good interviewers like Ted Koppel, he seems pretty much the same today.
All of which must have made Peter Ames Carlin's new Springsteen biography, "Bruce," a tough one to pull off. Springsteen cooperated with Carlin, although the author stresses the Boss had no editorial control over it. Much of the best stuff in "Bruce" comes not from Springsteen himself, but from those around him: Steve Van Zandt, Clarence Clemons, former girlfriends, friends from the early days in Jersey. While hardly the artful dodger and revisionist of his own history that Bob Dylan has become, Springsteen doesn't really open up — a serious disadvantage for a biographer.
But Carlin makes the most out of what he had to work with. For the most part, it is an entertaining work, with some solid insights into what makes the Boss tick. It is filled with the kind of little details and juicy nuggets that you want in a biography. (In the interests of full disclosure, I know Carlin a bit from the days when we both covered television. I admired his writing then and also enjoyed "Catch a Wave," his previous biography on another rock genius, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.)
Carlin nails down the early backstory of Springsteen, from his upbringing in Freehold, N.J., to his first guitar (right after Elvis appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show") to his work in a string of Jersey bar bands, notably Steel Mill. This portion is strewn with good stories that might be tall tales (one involving a dramatic appearance by Clemons at a bar is a beaut) and those nuggets (Janis Joplin had the hots for young Bruce). He does a good job of sketching Springsteen's influences, including the Allman Brothers and James Brown.
Carlin also does a good job of sorting out some of the rougher patches of Springsteen's professional and personal life. He is, for example, far kinder to former Springsteen manager Mike Appel than most accounts. The Appel-Springsteen battle was so epic that it took teams of lawyers to sort it out, a process that kept the E Street Band off the road and out of the studio for months (delaying the recording of "Darkness on the Edge of Town," the follow-up to "Born to Run").
The author's portrait of Springsteen isn't saintly, either. The Boss didn't treat women particularly well through the years. Nor did he treat the original E Street Band members well. He came close to firing Max Weinberg during "The River" and broke off from them for a long period before getting the group back together for "The Rising."
But as cleverly written and insightful as "Bruce" can be, it lacks the real depth one finds in truly great biographies. Precious little is included about Springsteen's current personal life, and Carlin doesn't quite find the essence of Springsteen's work over the years. In fact, at times the author seems to keep his distance from his subject, which is not so good for emotional impact.
Still, "Bruce" is better than earlier Springsteen biographies (notably Marc Dolan's florid "Bruce Springsteen and the Promise of Rock 'n' Roll," released earlier this year). But the truly defining work, one that captures the true nature of a great American artist, remains to be written.

Striking Port Metro Vancouver truckers threaten legal action
Striking truck drivers rally at Port Metro Vancouver off the McGill Street entrance on Thursday. (CARMINE MARINELLI/ 24 HOURS)

Striking unionized truckers are vowing legal action if Port Metro Vancouver refuses to reinstate drivers' permits that expire at the end of March and April.
Unifor area director Gavin McGarrigle said a court injunction would be sought if PMV follows through with its changes proposed on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, he said, truckers remain defiant despite Victoria's decision to legislate them back-to-work on Monday, with a 90 day cooling off period.
"I don't know how they think anyone will cool off after being legislated back to work," McGarrigle said.
"The whole point is the reason they're legislating is because they know what we're doing is legal, so they have to bring in a new law to make it illegal."
Government's position is that the truckers' strike and protest negatively affects the economy. According to striking truckers, only a "trickle" of big rigs have been proceeding through to the port, which remains in operation.
The back-to-work legislation, according to the province, is expected to affect about 250 unionized truckers. The vast majority of protesters is non-unionized, members of the United Truckers' Association of B.C.
B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker showed up at PMV's McGill entrance on Thursday in solidarity.
"What we need to do is stand together in support of a freely negotiated collective agreement," he said.

If this doomsday prediction had materialized, the state of global financial markets would look vastly different now.
An inconclusive Greek election in May, which saw radical anti-bailout parties make big gains, led to strong speculation that days of its membership in the euro zone were numbered. The widely cited forecast of the indebted nation's exit was even assigned a nickname: 'Grexit' (a term coined by two Citi analysts). Prominent figures in the investment community, including the world's largest bond fund Pimco's CEO Mohammed El-Erian, were among the many naysayers. In May, El-Erian was quoted in the media saying a Greek exit was "inevitable," adding that investors should start preparing for it.
The government of Greece, which has debt levels projected to reach 190 percent of GDP in 2013, has struggled to implement the spending cuts and tax hikes required to lower its debt burden and secure its next round of bailout funds from euro zone countries and the International Monetary Fund, due to public opposition over the new policies.
However, the outcome of Greece's second election on June 17 – in which the pro-bailout
After the recent deal the International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde said Greece's debt is now heading back toward a "sustainable path." The "Grexit" debate, which was raging hot earlier this year, has since cooled off.

In Canada, a "drive by" involves stopping and helping a disabled person, then posting a video of it to the internet encouraging others to do the same.
If you've always wanted to hear the opening theme from 'Breaking Bad' played on equipment you could find in a meth lab, this is the video for you.
The triumphant (and final) return of 'Breaking Bad' this Sunday, August 11, has gotten people all jazzed up and doing strange things. Some of our friends are throwing parties. Others refuse to let anyone into their homes. People without cable have sworn off Facebook from Sunday until they get a chance to watch the show. It's insanity. Here's how people are preparing themselves.
As a special treat in honor of the DVD release of the final season of 'The Office,' this little gem has been made available to us. It's a highlight reel of auditions for the show, with some pretty notable faces. Bob Odenkirk, Adam Scott and Seth Rogen all tried out for the show and didn't make it.
These are the pictures Adolf Hitler didn't want you to see.
You might watch this whole video wondering out loud if it is, in fact, real, or if the internet is playing a joke on you. That is how ridiculous this "what to do if you encounter a bear" news segment is.
You've watched it a million times, but have you ever actually imagined what would be happening on the Earth depicted in the Universal Studios logo if the word "Universal" actually scrolled around the planet in giant letters the way it does before each of the company's movies? We'd say this video is a pretty good guess.
If you've seen an opening pitch better than this, please let us know. At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, rhythmic gymnast* Shin Soo-ji threw this opening pitch.
Sure, baby squirrels are a little weird looking, but so's our cousin Jon, and we don't go around pepper spraying him anytime he approaches a bunch of middle schoolers. (Wait, that sounds weird. You get what we mean....)

Two million fish washed ashore. One thousand blackbirds dropped from the sky. On July 4, 2009 a deadly menace swept through the quaint seaside town of Claridge, Maryland, but the harrowing story of what happened that Independence Day has never been told - until now.
Film Review
Ever since
The Blair Witch Project
, it's been getting harder and harder to fool viewers into believing the whole found-footage gimmick. Even though audiences aren't buying into it, they're still buying it; the
Paranormal Activity
series is one of the most successful horror franchises in recent history. It's no surprise that
The Bay
, the new film from
Paranormal Activity
producers Jason Blum and Steven Schneider, is a faux-documentary. What is surprising is how effective it is.
On the Fourth of July in 2009, the town of Chesapeake Bay, Maryland was the site of a series of unexplained events.
The Bay
purports to be a collection of news reports and amateur footage put together by a reporter named Donna Thompson (Kether Donohue from
Pitch Perfect
) documenting the phenomena. The film shows the townspeople becoming overrun with what appears to be some kind of bacterial infection. As people become more and more sick and begin to die, authorities start to realize that they are up against more than just a simple virus. Before it kills its victims, the infection takes control of their minds, making them act erratically and insanely. The film separately follows the adventures of Thompson while she reports the story, a tourist couple named Stephanie (Kristen Connolly from
Cabin in the Woods
) and Sam (
's Christopher Denham) who has sailed home to Chesapeake Bay to see their family, and authorities like Dr. Jack Abrams (Stephen Kunken from
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
) and Sheriff Lee Roberts (
The Mist
's Andy Stahl) as they try to contain and stop the infection. The cause of the trouble ends up being a much bigger problem than anyone was expecting.
The Bay
is directed by big-time Hollywood director Barry Levinson (
Rain Man
) from a script by first time screenwriter Michael Wallach. Although the docu-fiction genre has become commonplace and it's difficult to fool audiences anymore,
The Bay
is a film that is more effective if the viewer knows as little as possible about it going in. Found footage films work well within the horror genre, and
The Bay
is no exception. The authenticity that is added by Donna Thompson's newscasts combined with the amateur footage that is collected and displayed makes the film scary in a that-could-really-happen kind of way. The narrative works well, too; instead of just throwing the footage on screen a la
The Blair Witch Project
Paranormal Activity
, Thompson narrates the film through a video chat with an unknown interviewer. This approach makes the movie look more like a produced documentary along the lines of
Megan is Missing
Lake Mungo
, which helps the viewer in keeping up with the science behind the attacks. The use of hospital and police footage interspersed between the newscasts and amateur video gives the audience a well rounded view of the incident. Because of all of the thought and planning that was put into the varied points of view,
The Bay
is one of the better faux-documentary films that have been produced, and one that is as entertaining as it is frightening.
The Bay
is more than a movie. As far-fetched and reaching as the threat in the film is (and, without spoiling anything, the implied threat changes a couple of times over the course of the narrative),
The Bay
still carries an anti-pollution environmental message. While it may not be completely realistic, it should be convincing enough to frighten people into opening their eyes to the subject of toxicity in the ecosystem.
Scary Factor
The Bay
is scary on several levels. Of course, it has plenty of the jumpy shock scares, but it's also got some frightening makeup and bloody gore stuff. There are also a handful of don't-go-in-the-water suspenseful attack scenes that rival
in their effectiveness. And, finally, there is the understated, overlying fear that surrounds the whole film - the environmental impact danger that reminds the viewer of films like
The Happening
The Bay
is a fun ride that is good for creep out, gross out and freak out scares, all in moderation, and still leaves the viewer thinking about tomorrow.

MURRIETA — Murrieta Valley High's football team gave its neighborhood bully all it could handle Friday night, while Vista Murrieta didn't handle its business all that well.
All of this added up to a rather awkward game that didn't live up to what was probably the most meaningful meeting ever between the intradistrict rivals.
Broncos junior quarterback Nick Stevens ran for 88 yards and touchdown while throwing for 167 yards and a score as host Vista Murrieta clinched at least a share of the Southwestern League title by holding off Murrieta Valley, 23-14, to retain the Unity Cup.
Vista Murrieta, ranked No. 2 in the county and No. 5 in the state by calhisports.com, led 20-7 at halftime and held off the Nighthawks when they closed to within six points in the third quarter. Senior kicker Tyler Rausa booted a 34-yard field goal with 2:29 left in the third to establish a two-possession margin that the Nighthawks, ranked fifth in the county, couldn't make up.
While giving Murrieta Valley credit for a gritty performance, Vista Murrieta coach Coley Candaele also thought his team underachieved — a carryover, he said, from what he described as a bad week of practice.
"It wasn't real surprising to me that we didn't finish drives and that we didn't stop (Murrieta Valley)," Candaele said, "because that's what we did at practice this week, and what you do at practice is what you do on Friday nights."
Vista Murrieta fumbled four times (losing one) and was penalized 12 times for 106 yards. The Broncos converted just five of 13 third downs.
After a several-year stretch in which Vista Murrieta vs. Chaparral had been the most important Southwestern League game of the year, this season it was the Broncos (4-5, 4-0 league) — whose five losses were all the result of forfeits — and the Nighthawks (7-2, 3-1) who essentially played for a league title.
"We were fighting for this game out there tonight," said Stevens, who completed 12 of 18 passes. "It wasn't like we rolled over. But we didn't play like it was a big game."
Murrieta Valley sure did, even while playing without starting defensive linemen Jordan Silva and Michael Payne, as a result of an automatic suspension for ejections from last week's victory over Murrieta Mesa.
Despite facing constant pressure, junior quarterback Andrew Blake led the Nighthawks on two scoring drives, the second capped by his 9-yard touchdown pass to junior receiver Brandon Iacobellis that allowed the Nighthawks to close within 20-14 with 6:24 left in the third quarter.
Vista Murrieta answered with Rausa's field goal, and Murrieta Valley had a chance to get closer at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Nighthawks reached the Broncos' 9-yard line before a fourth-and-1 blitz caught Blake for a 7-yard sack and ended the threat. Murrieta coach Greg Ireland chose to go for it instead of kicking a field goal to cut the deficit to one possession.
"If you can't get a 4th-and-1, you don't deserve to win a championship," Ireland said. "You've got to get that. Championship teams get those."
Blake spent much of the game on the run, doing well to complete 14 of 31 passes for 161 yards. He was sacked five times.
"Hits on a quarterback over four quarters are kind of our philosophy," Candaele said. "It's about how many times can you can get to him during the course of a game."

In 11 years, Apple has gone from operating two Apple Stores to having nearly 400 retail locations across the globe. MacStories has taken data such as store opening dates, visitor numbers and sales figures and used it to created some great charts, including a particularly nice time-lapse world map tracking the opening of every Apple Store to date.
On it, you can see things like the average income per store and visitors per store climbing as time goes on, with a marked increase coming after the iPhone launch in 2007, of course. Other charts include a graph of store openings per year which shows that Apple has never cut the ribbon on fewer than 22 retail locations in a 12-month period. The largest number of store openings occurred in 2008 with 47.
Another set of data shows that last year's Christmas quarter was far and away the most profitable for Apple on a per-store basis, with each location taking in an average of $5.11 million. We're interested to see how this holiday stacks up, what with this year's availability of the iPhone 5, fourth-generation iPad and the iPad mini.
