Charming Prague
Prague has so much to discover, all year round. Take a city break and explore everything it has from urban beaches to Christmas markets.
Überspringen und weiter zum Hauptinhalt
Not many European cities can be described as year-round destinations; however Prague is certainly one that is not restricted by seasonality. City breaks in Prague are as much about soaking up the sun, along urban beaches, as they are about absorbing the festive atmosphere when the Christmas markets set up their stalls.
A timeless city, with layers of history and charm - Prague has thoroughly earned its UNESCO World Heritage status.Bursting at the seams with a magnificent display of stunning architecture – which ranges from gothic to neoclassical – this compact city is best explored, and admired, by foot. After a day of sightseeing, embrace the traditional café culture at Café Imperial and admire its splendid Art Nouveau décor. Or sample the nightlife and Prague's famous beer around Mala Strana and Nove Mesto, as the city transforms into a buzzing metropolis after dark. With regular flights, carefully selected hotels in central locations and fascinating things to do, Prague has it all.
Prague is transformed into a winter wonderland at Christmas. A picturesque city that is already famous for its fairy-tale squares – the beauty of Prague is exaggerated by the magic of its Christmas festivities. Book a stay at the Cosmopolitan for boutique style, then discover the main markets in the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. Soak up the festive atmosphere, pick up hearty food and mulled wine (known locally as svařené víno) and savour every moment. You'll have plenty of opportunity for Christmas shopping, with traditional wooden toys, Bohemian crystal, and beautiful puppets and dolls making great gifts.

YORK GLORY has a penalty for his victory in a similar grade at Lingfield last week but is still nicely treated on his best form on Turf and can notch a quick double. Last Sovereign was beaten in a claimer over an extra furlong here last time but did beat Whozthecat at Newmarket in August and can confirm his superiority over that rival. Tango Sky needs to bounce back from a poor run at Nottingham last month but Profile Star could be interesting if fully wound-up as he's proven over C&D and was taking on decent opposition when last seen at York. David Barron's charge makes more appeal than Six Wives and recent winners Alaskan Bullet and Rylee Mooch while Moorhouse Lad doesn't look the force of old.
York Glory (USA) 7-2fav (9-4) Made virtually all, driven inside final 2f, ridden and edged right under pressure inside final furlong, kept on, won at Lingfield 6f hcp 0-95 (3) pol beating Swiss Cross (9-3) by 1/2l, 11 ran.

Moorhouse Lad 14-1 (9-1) Led, ridden and headed inside final furlong, kept on same pace, no extra and dropped to 4th towards finish, 4th of 12, 2l behind Ubetterbegood (9-6) at Kempton 5f hcp 0-95 (3) pol.
Whozthecat (IRE) 16-1 (8-11) Chased leaders, driven and outpaced 2f out, no impression from over 1f out, 8th of 12, 5l behind Ubetterbegood (9-6) at Kempton 5f hcp 0-95 (3) pol.
Tango Sky (IRE) 15-2 (9-7) Towards rear, ridden over 1f out, never dangerous, 8th of 12, 9l behind Demora (8-4) at Nottingham 5f 3yo hcp 0-85 (4) sft in Oct.

Alaskan Bullet (IRE) 4-6fav (9-3) Steadied start, held up in mid-diviison and always travelling well, smooth headway on outside halfway, chased clear leader over 1f out, closed inside final furlong, soon led and clear, won at Wolverhampton 5f sell stks (6) pol beating Powerful Wind (9-9) by 5l, 12 ran.

This is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlites upcoming new releases that we're highly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Touch of Power, by Maria V. SnyderLaying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.
Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life....

She unbuckled my belt and started to reach inside my pants but stopped, smiling at me. She towered above me, straddling my hips in her tight, rust colored dress. Her tits hung heavy, shoved over the edge of her dress and bra. She was grinding her pussy against me and playing with her nipples. Every time I reached for her, I was swatted away. She kept me bound to the bed without any ties. I found myself grabbing fistfuls of the sheet and straining as if I was tightly tethered.
Slowly, giving me a dirty look, she bent over me and grabbed my belt buckle. She gently held it up to her tits and rubbed the worn brass against her nipples, one and then the other. I opened my mouth wide and gasped. My tongue reached for her. My jaw ached. She shook her head at me, "No." I watched. I felt the sweat that comes when I'm worked up like this, between my breasts, under my arms, my low back, high on my neck just under my hairline, my upper lip. I lifted my hips into her with more and more force.
I wore white briefs, her favorite. She pulled the waist band high and smoothed the pocket I had no use for with her fingers, rubbing just above and on either side of my clit. Her sweet little hand moved softly above my cunt. I knew how wet I was. I felt her fingers drag on the damp cotton. I could smell my own pussy. Aroused. So fucking ready for her to suck me off. Feeling myself strain, every muscle coiled.
"Fuck," I whispered long and low and lifted my shoulders off the mattress. I bent my knees so that my thighs lifted her ass, tilting her towards me. She sat back against my legs and jerked my belt all the way off my jeans, bringing the leather strap just under her tits. She pulled it taut and ran it back and forth, her tits hanging heavily over the brown leather. She pulled the belt tight around her ribs for a moment and then teasingly, slowly, edged it up the swell of her tits. The rough side of the leather pulled against her nipples. I watched it drag back and forth across her skin. Now and then it would slip and I could see her nipples, raw and red, nearly purple from the rough hide abrading her skin. Her eyes were closed. Her mouth hung open, heavy. My tongue pushed against my teeth. I felt my eyes grow wet, one small tear rolled down my left temple and into my hair. I don't know why. I don't know why I cried for her. But I did.
She worked her nipples with that belt longer and harder than I would have had patience for. I nodded my head, the tears stinging my eyes, "Yes," I said again and again, "Yes, this is what I want." Useless words. She knew what I wanted before I could understand myself. It's what she does. She reaches deep down and finds me and grabs my hand. We take off running like children in a fallow field and don't look back. "My baby," I say, "My girl." I repeat all the words that have been said so many times by so many people they're faded and gray and nearly wrung out. It doesn't matter. It's the sound of my voice. It's the way my belly pushes out round and tight as I arch my back, as the muscles in my arms ball up with the tension of needing to be fucked, as my veins bulge to keep up. I want her fingers, her tongue, her breath, anything on my swollen, aching clit. I don't know what I do in these moments. I don't know what she sees.
When she's done with my belt, she tosses it down to the mattress and I wrap my fingers around it. She pulls her panties down low on her hips and lets me see the thickening hair beneath. She pulls the lips of her pussy wide for me to see how wet and flushed she's become. She sticks two fingers in my mouth and teases me by hovering, then rubbing my spit on her sore nipples. My head strains towards her pussy. I inhale deeply but can't catch the scent of her. My hands get slapped away again as I break the rules and reach for her thighs. It's the last time I forget. I want to be tortured. I want to be still.
"Yes," I say, staring at her pussy, "Please." She smiles at me. It's a pitying look. She nods. Her lower lip hangs open and I see how wet her mouth is. My tongue strains. I feel the sharp, ridged edges of my teeth. "Yes, baby," she nods her head quickly at me. Her hair hangs loose around her face. I stare into her eyes, admiring her face. Her high cheekbones and solid jaw. My eyes wander slowly down her neck, muscled, red from the sun, her rounded shoulders, her heavy tits, her belly. I watch her hand travel to her clit, her lips still spread to help me watch.
When she touches herself, I'm on fire. I'm yelling as if I'm about to come. We sound the same. "Come for me, sugar," I hear myself say, "Let me watch you." She rubs herself with one finger crooked, the others raised, mimicking quick, circling movements in the air. I can see her clit swell. I imagine I see it clutch and throb as she comes. I know I feel it. I do. I have a shadow orgasm there beneath her. I pant as hard as she does. She bends over me and I grab her tight. She brushes her open mouth against my lips.
By the time her mouth is on my clit, I'm so turned on that my body lies motionless for several minutes, stunned. She knows. She feels it in how wet my pussy is. So fucking wet and dripping. Her tongue is soft, barely there. I writhe beneath her on the mattress. Her lips close around me and I feel the suction as her tongue cups my clit and pulses. "Oh god," I say. Everything I say sounds hollow, used up. I have no new words for this and yet it is entirely new. "Oh god," and "Fuck," and "Yes, baby. Yes." I want a new language just for this, but instead I shut up and let my body do what it needs. I pulse my hips against her. I hold my thighs open for her. I crook one arm and hold my neck, pulling myself up to watch her. She's staring back at me. Sucking on me so sweetly. Getting me off in an ancient way. Her tongue. My clit. Flickering. Sucking. Pulling me deeper and deeper into her mouth. The noises I make are wordless. Known. I come in waves so deep and long that she can leave her tongue against me, pressing hard, still sucking on my clit. I come so hard for her. My body twitches. I suck the air into my lungs. I lick my lips. She lays her head on my thigh. I feel her breath on my wetness. I shiver.
This is my lover. My girl. This is me. Hers. This is how we fuck. How we fucked once. One day. That is all that this is. This is all that it was. And tonight or tomorrow it will be something different. This is me. This is her. Today.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder - 5/21/14
Oklahoma City Thunder (59-23) at San Antonio Spurs (62-20)
NBA Basketball: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 9:00 pm (AT&T Center)
The Line: San Antonio Spurs -6 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The San Antonio Spurs square off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals on Wednesday night.
Head to head, the Thunder are 10-2-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings while the home team is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the favorite is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Spurs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Thunder on the other hand are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss, 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Conference Finals games.
If Game 1 is anything to go by, then this is going to be a long series for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Missing their best big man in Serge Ibaka for the rest of the playoffs, the Thunder were exposed down low during their 122-105 Game 1 loss on Monday night, getting outscored in the paint 66-32. While Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter combined to score 45 points on 14-23 shooting from the field, their counterparts in Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison tallied just five points on 2-6 shooting. This my folks is why the San Antonio Spurs will advance to the NBA finals and likely take out the NBA Championship in my opinion.
With Ibaka out, the Thunder only really have to guys you can rely on to score the ball in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who just happen to be the two best players in this series. In most cases, if you had the two best players in a playoff series, you would usually advance to the next round. The only problem here is that the other team (San Antonio) has the next best seven players on the floor with a hall of fame coach calling the shots. Sure your going to get a big game from Reggie Jackson or Caron Butler here and there, but if KD and Russ aren't putting up 30+ points apeice, I don't see how they beat this well oiled machine we call the Spurs.
Speaking of San Antonio, since their Game 6 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Round 1, they have gone on to win six of seven by an average of 19.6 points per contest. This team is just unstoppable on the offensive end of the floor, topping 109 points or greater in seven of their last nine contests overall.
I really don't know what to expect in Game 2, and that's the honest truth. Do the Thunder bounce back and make a game of things or do the Spurs continue their red hot form and cruise to another comfortable win, scoring 120 points in the process? While I was going to take the points, I just can't do it. The whole Ibaka thing is huge for the Thunder because it pretty much forces them to play 2 on 5 when you really think about it. Plus, I just trust the Spurs at home....

Hey hon, gosh what wonderful pictures. I am glad you guys decided to do that, I think it helped you all to get away and do something fun. Yes, Duluth is pretty awesome (just not in the winter LOL), glad you guys had fun and Wyatt loved all that cool stuff! How cool about Jesse's unit too!!!ReplyDelete
Thinking of you guys and keeping you close to my heart and in my prayers. Much love and bug hugs.
~Shannon, Dennis and Izzie Mae~
Oh! The next time you come to Duluth let me know and I can find you some fun stuff to do- I'm just in Superior. :) We had Jackson's bday party at the Children's Museum and it was such a great time! If you come up in warmer weather you should take the kids either on the Pizza Train or the harbor boat cruise- both are fun and both are things my kids look forward to every summer!ReplyDelete
Jess, as I read through your post I found myself smiling at your strength. It is so amazing to see how strong you are even though I know some days, you just aren't sure. People from the outside always say "How do you do it?" and I'm sure you say the same thing I do....It's not something you have to think about, you just do it. That IS your life. I honestly think you are one of the strongest people I know. I am amazed and inspired by you!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad to see that you threw caution to the wind and took the kiddos out. You all look like you had a great time.
I'm sorry to hear that Grayson's hair is falling out but I know he's going to be as cute as a button with or without hair!!!
I'm always thinking about you and love you guys so much! Hang in there and I hope that his chemo treatment is nicer to him this week than last!
All our love from the Gibson house to yours,
Krystal and family.

text: I have a 2007 Autocruise Jolliet ( very similar to the Starfire). During a habitation service last year, damp was discovered coming from underneath the van on one side. This was allegedly fixed under the Lowdhams warranty. However this year the same thing happened again but in new places. Again we are covered under the last year of the warranty but nevertheless we are not very happy. We are not sure whether this is a design fault or just poor workmanship on our particular van. We are also not convinced that last year's remedial work was well done. The engineer who came from the warranty company was very scathing about coach built vans in general and Autocruise in particular. Has anyone else had similar problems with Autocruise vans or coach built vans generally? Now that the warranty has expired we don't feel happy keeping this van although in every other respect it is great. We are thinking of buying a van conversion rather than a coach built. Are we right to be so concerned or have we just been unlucky?

Never ever ever! she said firmly, hands on hips. I am never going to go to this school again ever!
I just got back from taking the twins to their older brother's school where they will attend next year.
Boring, it was sooooo boring! her twin sister chimed in.
As they repeated this again outside, a kindly dad said to me. "One good thing is ever is not very long when you've just turned 5."
Geeze I hope he's right!
perhaps they will have a different perspective when they attend
I think they'll love it. It's a great school that has a wonderful reputation for academic achievements and a homosexual headmaster which is another nice sign of being a modern place of learning.
It is a baccalaureate school and multicultural.
I know one thing for certain about five year olds - you never argue with them - they are always right - thank heavens they grow out of that too - at least they do until they turn 15!
Spot on! I never ever argue with the twins. They form a mob of two!
Being Five
When I was five I had no idea
That I would be able to remember
Being five
Anyone over 12 was a giant
Mostly friendly ones
Anyone as old as my mother
Was two hundred and fifty at least
Cars were noisy
And fast
And scary
But great to sit in
Girls were silly
But I listened to them
I was a small boat
Teachers lived in ships
When I was five I did not know
That I couldn't fly
Which is why
I broke my left leg
Sky diving down the stairs
I blame the comic I had read
An hour before
I did not shed tears
There was no pain
But I did cry
Because I couldn't stand up
The hospital had a strange smell
And people I didn't know
Were painting my bad leg
Shiny shiny white
With a big plaster
That came from Paris
Just for me
That's what the doctor said
I learnt to hop quite fast
Around the playground
Making other five year olds laugh
Until I couldn't scratch
The itchy part
So I climbed the school gates unnoticed
And hopped all the way home
Where my mother was waiting
To take me back to school
But not before putting a knitting needle
Down my leg to calm the itch
Good one Ernie..
Sounds like it can only get easier for you as they grow up.
Thats what my little one said after his first day at school. Last week he was running a temperature and we asked him to stay home he said 'NOT ON A SCHOOL DAY'
We couldn't hold him back!!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I have a couple of older ones, and although they are beautiful kids, they sure do lose it for a while in their teenage years.
"Never ever ever! she said firmly, hands on hips. I am never going to go to this school again ever!"
OMG that's what I said every day when I got home from school, but my mom kept making me go back again the next day.
My granddaughter attended kindergarten last year. After her first full day of school she asked her Mom how long do I have to do this. Her Mom laughed and said years my dear. My granddaughter just sighed and said I don't want to, I don't like it.
She will be going into first grade this year. Just the other day she told me I want to quit.
Kids they sure can make you laugh.
You have a smart one there!
They come out with the most amazing things don't they?
Such lovely replies! I had a fun day despite the dreaded gang up from the twins. There older brother superspiderman who is 6 got into trouble at school again. His teacher says he is smart and naughty.
I talked to him about it, but it is still a mystery to him as to why he is like that almost every day!
He is such a beautiful little guy, loves and protects his sisters, is very capable even getting food for them when they behave like hungry sparrows.
I hope he discovers where his naughty bone is soon, the teacher is exhausted.
You are all a bunch of softies like me, Little ones are so funny!
LOL that has become like a mantra to my neighbor kids this year. They are 11 and 12 though.
I am with you there! I have a 13 year old as well, and she did not want to go to high school last year.
Loves it now though!
Try looking at it from the wee ones' point of view. Roger McGough wrote a great poem called 'First Day at School'.
My 13 year old can't wait for high school despite having hated every day of primary. And my 14 year old now hates school despite having loved nearly every day since she started. The only thing you can guarantee with kids is that you will always be wrong but that one day they will grow up and not be the experts in everything
I do not know the poem Cally, but it sounds interesting from the title. I will Google.
I have grown up kids, and 6 grandchildren and agree with you completely. The older they get, the smarter I get.

I'm just curious if anyone has ever fallen head over heels in love with someone after only knowing them for a short time. I was camping at a gay campground over the past week, and I met a very handsome man, who I felt...

The weirdest insult I can remember getting was in a Denny's cafe. My friends and I were hanging out drinking coffee and putting off going home as late as we could. We had one of those big booths that sit a good sized...

"Engrossing . . . [Rivoli] goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner . . . full of memorable characters and vivid scenes."
"An engaging and illuminating saga. . . Rivoli follows her T-shirt along its route, but that is like saying that Melville follows his whale. . . Her nuanced and fair-minded approach is all the more powerful for eschewing the pretense of ideological absolutism, and her telescopic look through a single industry has all the makings of an economics classic."
—The New York Times
"Rarely is a business book so well written that one would gladly stay up all night to finish it. Rivoli's The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is just such a page-turner."
—CIO magazine
"Succeeds admirably. . . T-shirts may not have changed the world, but their story is a useful account of how free trade and protectionism certainly have."
—Financial Times
"A readable and evenhanded treatment of the complexities of world trade. . . As Rivoli repeatedly makes clear, there is absolutely nothing free about free trade except the slogan."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"A fascinating exploration of the history, economics, and politics of world trade. . . The Travels of a T-Shirts in the Global Economy is a thought-provoking yarn that exhibits the ugly, the bad, and the good of globalization, and points to the unintended positive consequences of the clash between proponents and opponents of free trade."
—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
The protagonist of this highly informative and entertaining book is a $6 T-shirt purchased in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Georgetown economist Rivoli uses her T-shirt as a vehicle for telling an analytic story about its life from the cotton fields of Texas to either its proud purchase by a Tanzanian villager or its sale as mattress filler, depending on its condition when discarded by its American owner. Along the way, she explores the history of cotton production and the cotton textile industry and evaluates the misguided and often absurd U.S. textile policy over the past half century, up to the end of 2004, when the multilateral Multifiber Arrangement (which inadvertently created many more jobs in not-quite-competitive developing countries than it preserved in the United States) expired. Rivoli draws heavily on her own interviews and on anthropological as well as economic literature, which gives her tale a human touch. She shows how despite the awful working conditions in apparel factories, in both historical America and contemporary poor countries the jobs they offered were often liberating to young women, who preferred the sweatshops to the stifling life they otherwise would have had to endure on the farm.

Quoted: Eric Shipton
It is impossible of course to provide an entirely satisfactory explanation for any recreation. The predominant motive in any human activity varies according to the temperament of the individual. Mountaineering provides good exercise in pleasant surroundings, a sense of satsfaction in overcoming difficulties, the joy, akin to dancing, of controlled rhythmic movement, a stimulating contact with danger, a wealth of beautiful scenery and a release from the tiresome restrictions of modern life. The expert likes to practice or display his skill. Some confess to having been drawn to climbing by a physical inferiority complex engendered by their failure at school to hit a ball straight and far. These motives are probably sufficient in themselves, and they certainly form the basis of many other sports. But in the deep devotion to any form of active endeavor there is generally something else we seek. In the case of mountaineering it is a kind of personal identification with the hills themselves, which comes of intimate understanding and strenuous contest and which brings with it a wealth of philosophical content. Above all, in my view, the attraction lies in the memory of those rare moments of intellectual ecstasy which occur perhaps on a mountain summit, perhaps on a glacier at dawn or in a lovely moonlit bivouac, and which appear to be the result of a happy coincidence in the rhythm of mind and scene.
From Upon That Mountain.
Pretty much sums it up.

Coming soon. I could use a good dose of climbing-related media right now, along with some actual climbing maybe.
Genesis: 40 Years of Hyalite Ice Climbing
First Morning in Town
There still are rushing rivers in my dreams;
There still are grinding boulders in the streams;
There still is mountain madness,
Thund'ring down in reckless gladness
—Tho I'm safely in my bed in town, it seems.
There is still a shining world of ice and snow;
There still are steps to slog and miles to go;
There still are fragile bridges,
And windy fearsome ridges,
—Tho the city sounds about me all say "No…"
There is still a threat'ning avalanche to round;
There still are blinding fog banks, summit bound;
I can find no safe belay
Yet the suns ays "Do not stay"…
—Then I wake to find I'm home on level ground.
I'll be toiling up sublime eternal heights,
I'll be threading huge seracs by candle lights,
I will pause where none may pass
By some bottomless crevasse…
—I'll be dreaming that I'm climbing… many nights.

The Tumpline
To put it simply, tumplines have been around for a long, long time. Do they work? Probably. Chouinard likes 'em, and actually sells them online. Might be worthwhile to experiment a bit with one and see if it can't straighten out my posture a bit.

An inspiring and entertaining bit of expedition climbing that managed to pull in a well-deserved 2011 Piolet d'Or. These guys seem like a lot of fun. Climbers Nico Favresse, Olivier Favresse, Seán Villanueva and Ben Ditto head out with 75 year-old Captain Bob Shepton on his 33-foot sailboat in search of unclimbed big walls rising out of Greenland's fjords. Catch the whole 5-part video series over at Patagonia.
WATCH: The Love Letter
Fitz Cahall is slaying it. It's been a real trip watching his list of projects grow, from simply noticing his articles in climbing rags, to the last few years of The Dirtbag Diaries, to The Season, Tracing the Edge, and Fringe Elements. Just last week or so he and his wife Becca released a more personal, emotive project called The Love Letter, which follows the pair in an epic trip across the Sierras and ponders on the importance of wilderness in one's everyday life. It works well – and definitely a different approach as far as these little outdoor adventure narrative pieces go. Fitz is a darn good storyteller, and I'm already looking forward to his next project.
P.S. – If you have a love letter to share with a person or place, you can do so on their Facebook page…

One big investor is milking income from Cameron International, which has been trying to rebound from an October selloff.
optionMONSTER's tracking programs show the purchase of 2,059 January 47 calls for $11.80 and the sale of an equal number of August 52.50 calls for $9.50. Volume was below open interest in the January contracts, so it appears that an existing short position was adjusted.
The trader probably owns shares in the provider of energy-field services and previously sold the Januarys as part of a covered-call strategy . Today they rolled the position out in time and up in price, raising their exit price in the stock by $5. Making the adjustment cost $2.30 and obligates the inveator to remain in the position for an additional seven months. (See our Education section)
CAM is up 0.15 percent to $58.80 in morning trading. It fell hard two months ago after results missed expectations and management issued weak guidance, but the shares have been working their way higher since. The name also saw bullish call buying last week .
Total option volume is almost twice the daily average in the name so far today.

LJWorld.com weblogs First Bell
And now begins the campaign ...
Having agreed unanimously Monday night to seek voter approval for a $92.5 million bond issue, Lawrence school officials are now about to launch a public relations campaign to sell the idea.
To get things going, the district announced Tuesday that it's soliciting questions from the public so it can publish a Q&A fact sheet about the proposal.
According to the district's email newsletter that went out Tuesday afternoon, one example of a question might be about how many "portable" buildings will be eliminated and replaced with permanent structures if the bond issue is approved.
Answer: "The bond issue will fund the construction of permanent classroom space to replace seven elementary portables: three at Hillcrest, one at New York, one at Sunflower and two at Sunset Hill. While intended as a temporary solution to provide additional classroom space, some of these portable units are 20-30+ years old."
However, based on emails and online comments we've already seen here at the Journal-World, district officials might want to brace themselves for some more complex questions than that.
Much of the online discussion early Tuesday seemed to focus on the question of a "No Tax Increase" bond issue and just exactly how that's going to be defined.
These kinds of issues always raise the semantic question: If a tax is scheduled to decrease or expire, but elected officials take action to leave the tax in place or hold it steady, does that action qualify as a tax increase? I can't count the number of hours I've listened to people debate that question, with people on both sides passionately insisting there is only one answer to it.
Based on the discussion Monday night, it appears that school board members intend the term to mean that the district's bond and interest mill levy will not go up as a result of the bond issue. That's because the district is retiring some old bonds this year, plus the fact that the new bonds will probably have a much lower interest rate.
That, however, may leave room for the possibility that the mill levy could go up for other reasons, like a general decline in the district's assessed valuation, which is exactly what Douglas County officials are bracing for in their own budget planning. It's a complicated situation stemming mainly from the fact that the property values will have to be adjusted in 2013 to account for the fact that real estate had been generally over-appraised in the past.
This may turn out to be more than just an academic question, something akin to counting angels dancing on a pin. According to a survey commissioned by the district, there is fairly broad support for the bond proposal generally (55 percent), but that number jumps to 75 percent when potential voters are told it will not result in a tax increase.
A 5-percent margin is enough to win an election. But a 25-percent margin provides a lot of cushion, especially if it turns out to be a low-turnout election.
We here at the Journal-World would like to know your questions, too. And that's not just because we're nosy, or we can't come up with our own story ideas. That same survey that measured voter attitudes about the bond issue also took a snapshot of where Lawrence voters get their information about the school district.
According to that survey, 69 percent of the respondents said they get much of their information from the Journal-World print edition. That was second only to conversations with friends and family.
We take your trust seriously and want to do everything we can to make sure you have the information you need to cast an informed vote in April.
You can email your questions to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Benjamin Roberts 4 years, 11 months ago
The last big bond issue was not used for the purpose for which it was approved. In fact, much of it was used to build the equity stadium at LHS. That fact accounts for a lot of deferred maintenance at the middle schools, and many of the millions of dollars of the proposed bond.
Can, or will, the school board include language in the bond or proposal that will limit the spending to the actual intent of the bond? Can the bond mandate exactly where the funds must be spent? Can the bond prevent current or future boards, from changing the allocations of the bond money?
The public, for good cause, has lost trust in USD497's leadership and board. Previous boards deceived the public on these types of bonds. Why should the public trust the new board and the old leadership? What guarantees will be given? What mechanism will ensure proper (proposed) spending of the bond money?
Fool me once shame on you ... fool me twice - NO, you don't get that chance.
buffalo63 4 years, 11 months ago
Very good questions! My concern is how the money is actually spent. I recall at least three times the Board "spent" the $2 million "saved" from the bond to rebuild South Middle school. How will we know that we are getting quality building, equipment, etc. that will actually last and not the cheap stuff to "save" money?
buffalo63 4 years, 11 months ago
There are well documented examples of construction around town that have major items inserted or eliminated from the plans that are approved by the City. While I understand problems can arise that necessitate minor changes, but to build something different and then say "Oops, Sorry" isn't going to cut it.

Almost one-quarter of the RNC's black delegates are from Georgia
CLEVELAND – Nearly one-quarter of the African-American delegates at the Republican National Convention are from Georgia. That's out of an estimated 18 black delegates at the party's bash in Cleveland, where 2,472 delegates gathered this week to nominate Donald Trump.
It's likely the lowest number of black delegations nationwide at a Republican convention in generations, but for Georgia it's a recent high.
The state's contingent in Cleveland includes four black delegates – Ashley Bell, Michael McNeely, Eric Johnson and Bruce LeVell – and six black alternates. Compare that to 2012, when Georgia sent five black delegates and alternates.
The Georgia GOP's outreach effort is helmed by Leo Smith, who gained national attention when he predicted Trump can "easily get 20 percent of black voters." Democrats have dismissed such projections, and the party's minority engagement program, as a "masquerade of progress."
"It's maddening to think that after all the progress we've made under President Obama, the GOP believes that this is the time for a xenophobic president and a homophobic vice-president – but here we are," said Democratic Party of Georgia spokesman Michael Smith.
Members of Georgia's delegation to Cleveland said they're confident a growing number of minorities will switch to the GOP, giving the party a hedge as changing demographics pose a long-term threat to Republican rule in the state.
"Our party is not as scary as the media makes it sound," said Vivian Childs, a member of Georgia's GOP contingent. "Once they find out what we're really about, then it's easier for them to accept being a part of this organization – or not be so afraid."
Our AJC colleague Erica Hernandez talked to Emory University professor Andra Gillespie, who is here in Cleveland, and several of the delegates about the party's challenges. Check out her video above.

Proud of these people.
Just shows that these delegates know how to think for themselves and not follow the Democratic Sheeple. Hook, line, and sinker!
I would love to know the total RNC Black delegates so that I would know how to calculate one-quarter. Where do I get that figure?
Blown away by those that see Hillary as leading them to the truth.. Hello
Did you know that 100% of dnc delegates are bought and paid for by the clintoon campaign?
Does it need bother anyone that the FBI is " investigating email that involves Clinton?
The brothers and sisters get it.............
Not surprised. Georgia is famously full of self righteous people, both races.
Nope, You to ok my place, thank You!
Kool Aid drinkers & total ignorance runs high in Georgia ...
THAT'S so stupid and unbelievable. .
Please see Hillary's America!!! Especially Democrats Please !!!
Not sure why they are republicans. Goes against their best interest.
Interesting conclusion, how did you come by it?
Interesting that you don't understand how someone can come up with the conclusion.
Dems, let's divide everything by race and talk about race incessantly
Thanks Tracy, for proving my point
Let talk about how Trump treats people who aren't white.
Talking about race - the correct way- is what MOST people can't. Ignorance, America's biggest pet-peeve.
Smart people are for Trump
I disagree with you.
Bless them. Take note CNN
They are better educated than the writers for this AJC.
That's awesome if true!
Stupidity has no limits!
Obama's own brother is gonna vote for TRUMP 2016 !
Barack got the looks n the brains
These people had some interesting things to say and I think the Republican Party needs to open up their ears and listen!
They are the smart Dems.
This is overreacting. The number of people being referred to is miniscule to say the least.
Yes I have already
If you make 250K plus a year, you should vote republican. It makes sense. No matter your race. If you vote republican and don't make 250k a year, then that's a vote directly against your own interests.
18 out of?!?!?
Why? For what? This party is on life support. Did you catch a glimpse of the delegates last week? There were white PpL that were being forced to hold up "Latinos for Trump" signs. This party is finding it extremely hard to appeal to anyone with a skin pigmentation that is different than their base and because of this the party is dying on the vine.
Why would they support the lynching party?
as Lucille said I am in shock that anybody can earn $7242 in one month on the computer . why not try here -------->> internet-careers50.comᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵ
Slave mentality is still a thing here in GA folks. I deal with it every day. This article is nothing new.
It will take everyone to to do the right thing this year. This is probably the most important Presidential race in our history as an American people.
NOT probably, IS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who did Clinton select for her running partner? Just asking'
The malignancy is spreading.
Ohio first time in history 0% Africa Americans are voting for Trump according to CNN.
Ralph, and you believe in CNN? Cheers.
Hispanic are signing up to vote the highest number in history you know why? My Latino American Brothers and Sisters are turning 18 everyday at a rate 20,000 and who do you think they are going to vote for Bozo the clown Trump. He says it just like it is lol.
Ralph Johnson I'm Latino and I've two new voters at home; like myself there are many more that came to this country looking for the American Dream where the law is above all. We won't vote ever for a criminal
William Rodriguez if went to school in Georgia I know for fact Civics Social Studies was not taught very well.

Manohar blasts N Srinivasan, vows to oppose Modi's re-entry
New Delhi: Former BCCI president Shashank Manohar on Saturday accused his successor N Srinivasan of taking advantage of the amendment of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) constitution for seeking a third term in office and vowed to oppose Lalit Modi's re-entry.
Shashank Manohar
Manohar also ruled out contesting the impending elections against Srinivasan adding that BCCI's constitution was amended in 2012 to remove the cap on the number of terms in office of key office-bearers.
All for Jaitley
He said that all big guns supported it in the hope that they too could stage a comeback or someone like senior BJP politician and Union Minister Arun Jaitley, a former BCCI vice-president and ex-Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) chief, need not wait for his turn for over a decade.
Manohar, 56, also rubbished rumours that he has joined hands with suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Modi in the campaign against Srinivasan and would also oppose his re-entry into BCCI.

TORONTO - On the first day of spring, the Air Canada Centre had a definite playoff feel to it.
And the home side Maple Leafs just might be there for the real thing in three weeks after a 4-2 win over Boston to close within a point of the Bruins. It was the second straight intense tight-checking game against a team ahead of them in the schedule and this time Toronto was on the winning end.
Tyler Bozak put them ahead with a couple of minutes remaining with a power play goal and William Nylander and Nazem Kadri added empty netters. Dominic Moore, in the box when Bozak scored, added a late goal. Aiming high in the standings, to catch the Bruins instead of just protecting their tenuous wildcard spot, the Leafs cleared 80 points for the first time in three years. The Leafs have 11 games remaining to solidify a position and hold off pursuers led by the Lightning and Islanders, both idle on Monday night.
Frederik Andersen was once more heavily involved, with his fourth straight win against Boston this season to complete the first Toronto sweep of the Bs since the teams were reunited in the same division in 1998. He stopped 31 shots as Toronto improved to 5-1-1 in the Danes last seven games.
Toronto survived the Bruins best efforts at forechecking, transition and another 11 wins by Patrice Bergeron in the circle in the first 13 draws he took over 40 minutes. Tuukka Rask, 15-4-2 against the Leafs coming in, was also equal to the task when the Leafs made things happen with their own cycle, speed, shot blocks and active sticks. For the second straight game, Toronto was tied 1-1 entering the third.
The Leafs constant vow to start on time and not have to rely so much on Andersen faced an immediate challenge when the clock refused to run at the opening face-off and was stuck at 20:00 and acted up throughout the period.
After a somewhat tentative start by both teams, old Leaf-Bruin nastiness began to build. Brad Marchand showed why hes fighting for the Art Ross Trophy, getting his 80th point with a nice spin move in the Leaf zone to create space. That allowed David Backes a short side goal past two screening defencemen.
Torey Krug had all kinds of room to move in after getting free of the Leaf defence and fired it high and wide, leading to Toronto pressure and its first goal during 4-on-4 play. Nikita Soshnikov took a run at Bergeron that resulted in retaliation and off-setting minors. Though Rask made some nice saves after Leaf pressure, no Bruin picked up Morgan Rielly lurking in from the blue line. Mitch Marner found him and though Rielly seemed to lose the puck in mid deke, it still squirted through Rask for his sixth goal.
For Marner it was his 39th assist, one behind Gus Bodnars rookie record from 1943-44, while James van Riemsdyk matched his career high with helper No. 31. The first period also saw a player on each team take a hard puck to the head from friendly fire, Matt Beleskey and Leaf Leo Komarov, while Boston killed a long 5-on-3, coming about when Bergeron's clearing attempt scaled both benches.
After staying out of the box throughout Saturdays 2-1 overtime loss to Chicago, it was Torontos turn to circle the wagons in the middle period. Nikita Zaitsev fell into the Marchand shift disturber trap after a couple of exchanges with the super-pest, flattening him after a whistle. Even Komarov, who specializes in such skullduggery for the Leafs, was antagonized by Marchand at times. Soshnikov was trying to do the same, though the littlest Leaf was squashed a couple of times by the 6-foot-9 Zdeno Chara.
Toronto has a day off before back to back games against the Columbus Blue Jackets and home to the New Jersey Devils.

- I have always interpreted "As I have loved you, love one another" or its other variants to mean, "I've loved you; you should therefore love others", rather than the slightly different meaning, "Love others in the same way I've loved you." This latter interpretation, though, makes more sense.
- The reminder not to contend is an awfully important one. It reminds me of a time I listened to a friend talk about the Church in a way I felt was negative and dishonest, and it made me angry. I didn't act on the anger; rather I revisited the experience later on to see why I'd been angry. I reviewed my friend's statements and determined that in fact, they were all true (his tone when making the statements may perhaps have been inappropriate; I don't remember his tone well, and it's not my place to judge anyway). It taught me a great deal about paying attention to the actual wording of scripture, and the fallibility of my first impressions.
- I'll insert at this point, in case anyone ever reads this, that my current beliefs differ somewhat from those of my childhood, and those of much of my family. I hope I don't resort to contention to promote or defend those beliefs, and would welcome others to point it out if they feel I'm being contentious. I don't intend even to share my more contrary positions beyond those I'm commanded to teach, unless asked about them specifically, and I don't want to contend at all.
- I will share my beliefs in detail when prompted to do so, or when people ask specific questions.
- I wish "in dedicated spaces like ... houses of worship" we actually could "teach the truth and the commandments plainly and thoroughly as we understand them". Unfortunately at least in our ward, the instruction is always to keep things positive and simple. In the Church generally, the correlation program has reduced the allowed topics to a list. There are something like 72 specific subjects about which lessons and curricula may be produced, and anything outside those topics is off limits. See Daymon Smith's Ph.D thesis here for specifics. This list doesn't include much of Joseph Smith's most pressing concerns, such as having one's "calling and election" made sure, or receiving the Second Comforter. This strikes me as organizationally enforced rejection of "the greater portion of the word", which Alma 12:10-11 tells us leads to damnation.
- I appreciate his wording, that "Less grievous behaviors, even though unacceptable to some believers, may simply need to be endured if legalized by what a Book of Mormon prophet called 'the voice of the people'".
- "Surely we can teach our children values and standards of behavior without having them distance themselves or show disrespect to any who are different." This is important. I've seen a few too many instances where one LDS family refuses to allow their children to become close to non-LDS children, simply because of religious differences. One neighboring LDS family has a daughter who is (or was) close friends with a non-LDS girl across the street. Hearsay (and, to be clear, I have no evidence of this beyond the report of a potentially biased friend) has it that the LDS father felt his own salvation was at risk unless the non-LDS girl was baptized, or the two girls distanced themselves from each other. This is, of course, completely contrary to scripture and to LDS teaching.
- I may have to keep his comments on maintaining civil political discourse on hand, because municipal elections are coming up and I live in a politically rancorous area.
- A study I read (and I realize one can find a study to back up whatever position one chooses to take, more or less) said Utahns in general and Utah Mormons in particular tend to avoid confrontation at the expense of their own interests, and at the same time to feel dismissive of the validity of others' interests. I imagine the study's authors had some ideas about what caused this attitude, but I don't remember what they were and don't claim to have any specific idea myself. If there's something to the study's claims, perhaps anymore it's just cultural inertia. In any case, Elder Oaks' advice is important: there are some things we can't compromise, at least when it comes to our own behavior.

British rocker Freddie Cowan has built a signature model guitar.
The Vaccines musician, who spent a year helping to design the instrument, will join iconic guitarists including Eddie Van Halen, Santana and Kurt Cobain in the elite group of musicians with custom axes baring their name.
He contacted manufacturers Farida while searching for a guitar with the right sound during his band's Australian tour with fellow British group Two Door Cinema Club, and the company promptly offered to build him a custom instrument.
Cowan tells NME magazine, "I couldn't find a guitar that sounded how I wanted. I found out Sam (Halliday, from Two Door Cinema Club) had just had a guitar built by Farida so I spoke to them and they emailed and offered me a signature model. It was perfect. I never thought it would be on the cards. But of course, I jumped at the opportunity."

The New Time Chap 2
"Lugia?" I whispered. Then my eyes lit up,"Lugia!" I rushed out of the bushes and grabbed him, real tight,"Oh Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, and Zaptoes! I found you! Yay!" Lugia seemed to be very squished.
"Mew? Is that you?" asked Zaptoes, the yellow guy.
"Of course it's me! How can anyone ask that?"
"Anyone who's trying to get out!" said the blue girl Articuno. "Can we go now?"
"Yeah, I'm tired of hearing Articuno scream." said Moltres. I slowly lead them out of the area towards the pond. With Moltres and Articuno still fighting.
Mewtwo's POV
I think I was searching my heads off. No one was to be found in the area! I searched to the left, then to the right.
"Hey, is anyone out there?" I shouted. Please let there be someone out there. I finally sighed. All of a sudden, to pairs of hands came out of nowhere and clung to my neck.
"AAAAHH!" I screamed, I tried to get it off me, but it wouldn't come off.
"Ow, that hurts!" said a voice.
"I know it does!" I shouted back, still trying to yank the thing off.
"That's not nice to treat a Pokémon that way!"
"Then what kind of Pokémon, ARE YOU?"
"Well, a Jirach-iiooooowwww!" I finally yanked the thing off, and there in my arms was a small boy, tall as a 6-year-old. He had blonde hair, a blue and yellow sweat shirt, and some baggy pants. And on his hand was a white cloud sign.
"Who are you kid?" I asked sternly. Well, he did try to suffocate me!
"I don't think I should tell you."
"Well you just said half of your name."
"But what?" I was very impatient.
The kid finally nodded, "Okay, I'm Jirachi!" Jirachi? I finally realized who I scolded. I put him down and said, "Nice to meet you, again."
"Again?" asked the small boy.
I nodded, "Well, you see, it's me, Mewtwo."
All of a sudden, the boy clung on to me again, but was hugging me,"MEWTWO IT'S SOO SCARY OUT HERE, I WANT TO GO HOME TO FERINA!"
The kid must've been so loud that my eardrums would've broke, "Okay, okay! I'll take you back there as soon as we find the others, okay?"
Jirachi nodded. We both then went out of the bushes.
Suicune's POV
Finally we all reached the pond at morning. We all started talking about what happened and why we were here. It never made sense anyway.
"But how are we gonna get home?" whined Celebi.
"Well, we need to find shelter or something." Said Zaptos.
"But there's no place we know anyways." Said Mewtwo.
"Why don't we just go anywhere and eventually we'll get somewhere." I suggested.
Everyone was thinking really hard and arguing till we all heard a crack!
"Yikes!" shouted Jirachi and he held on tight to Mewtwo's leg.
"What was that?" asked Mew.
"Something not worth thinking about." Said Articuno.
We all listened carefully, then heard a bush rustle and turned around. There standing very calmly was a girl in long wavy black hair, a tan vest, white dress a bit higher that the knees, and had a gleam in her eyes. And, there was a golden star on her hand.
"Have you had a nice time in the woods?" asked the girl.
"No of course not! And who are you?" exclaimed Celibi.
The girl tilted her head and smiled seriously, "I'm the one who brought you here, and suppose I'm the one that might get you out."
"Arceus?" asked Moltres.
"So it's you," said Lugia. "Why are we here? I don't really want to be a human, we could still protect ourselves.
"Yeah, we still can," said Articuno. "So turn us back now!"
"I'm afraid I will and still won't do that." Said Arceus, twirling a strand of her hair, but still looking calm.
"Hey Arceus, what do you have in store for us huh?" I asked.
Arceus's eyes lit up, as if she was waiting for that question, "I'm saying, that we shall stay as humans as long as I like till we get things resolved. I will with the most concern, say that we Pokémon will change our Identity to try and make a difference. Don't you understand, no one will recognize us and we will be in total secrecy. I will arrange our plans tomorrow."
"Wait though, what about the other legends?" stated Mew.
Arceus just signaled us to come to her, "That I will deal with later. For now come."
Me and the other Pokémon just looked at each other, this is not going to go well, I thought.
One by one, we left and followed Arceus back into the woods. It was now full morning so we could see where we were going, finally.
"So, where do you think we're going to stay?" asked Celibi.
"I'm not psychic." I said.
"Maybe in some remote island, where there are no civilization." Suggested Mewtwo.
I wanted to bob him for that, then Jirachi butted in, "No, I think we might live in a place surrounded by humans!"
"That's crazy! Or, it might be nice so no one might know who we are." Said Mew.
I glared at them, "Nice? The only nice thing is that we're still in secrecy! What if we slip a word in a town, and that'll give them the hint that there are Pokémon humans out here! And also, a strange group of people entering a city and they don't know how to act human? Think about it!"
That silenced the group, then Articuno said, "Whatever! We just go with the flow and copy real humans."
"But each human is different!" I reasoned.
Moltres popped in, "So, copy one like us! Ha!"
"I still don't think this is right!" I snapped.
"None of us do Suicune, that's why we're listening to Arceus, just trust her." Said Zaptoes.
I sagged and kept quiet. Then Mew got everyone's attention, "But hey you know, the signs on our hands. I wonder what they're for."
Everyone looked like they hadn't noticed it yet and nodded.
"Legends, you'll know about that later," said Arceus. "But for now, here we are."
Author: That was awesome! Please review so I might continue!

Cry Exchange How To...
How to grant Send As permission
(to allow sending email as someone else)
"Send As" allows one user to send an email as though it came from another user. The recipient will not be given any indication that the email was composed by someone other than the stated sender.
"Send As" can only be granted by a system administrator. "Send on Behalf of" may be more appropriate in many situations, it allows the recipient to be notified both who the author was and on who's behalf the email was sent. (See How to grant Send On Behalf Of permission.)
The following procedure will allow system managers to grant users the ability to send as another:
- Log onto the server running Exchange.
- Run Active Directory Users and Computers.
- Under the "View" menu ensure that "Advanced Features" is ticked.
- Find the user's account that you want to be able to send as, and open up the account properties.
- Select the "Security" tab.
- Click [Add ...] (under "Group or user names") and add the user (users or group) that is to be granted permission to send-as this account.
- For each account added, highlight the account under "Group or user names" and in the "Permissions for ..." window grant the account "Send As" permission.
- Click [OK] to close the account properties dialog.
- The above sequence can also be used to send as a contact rather than as a user. To achieve this at step 4 (above) find and open the contact in Active Directory instead of the user.
- If there is an account for which a number of people need to be able to send as (such as an account used as a single point of contact for a distribution lists) then administratively it may be simpler to add a group of users who should have that permission and grant the permission to the group and not to the accounts individually.
- The process of sending an email as coming from another account is the same as sending on behalf-of. See How to Send a Message on Behalf of Another for guidance notes.
- Be aware that Outlook reads a lot of security information from its address book and not directly from Exchange. So if after you have followed this procedure you find that Outlook does not let you send as another then see "How to force the address book to update", and try again.
- The account you are sending on behalf of must not be hidden from the Exchange address lists. This isn't just so that its visible to select from when sending, it simply will not work unless its visible in the address list - undeliverable - You do not have permission to send to this recipient. It will be visible unless someone has checked "Hide from Exchange address lists", which is found on the "Exchange Advanced" tab for the account in Active Directory Users and Computers.
- If you still find that Outlook does not let you then I am told (my thanks to Jonathan for passing this tip on) that restarting the exchange information store service will help. If you decide not to try that then provided you have followed the above steps it should work for you come the following day.
These notes have been tested with Exchange Server 2003, with Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003. It is believed that they also apply to Exchange Server 2000.

We will be staying in Cambridge on Saturday (I'm from Toronto) and need a place for dinner. We're looking for something casual and recession-friendly, with great cocktails and comfort-ing food.
I had decided on Green Street, but got anxious after reading a recent thread indicating that there have been service issues lately. We've been to Central Kitchen and loved it (although it's been a while), but not to either of the others. Which would you pick? Or is there another spot we're overlooking?

American rock music icon Tommy Lee made media headlines on two counts: as the drummer of the hair metal/heavy metal ensemble Mötley Crüe from 1981 through 1999, and for his offstage role as the onetime husband of controversial actress, Playboy playmate, and media darling Pamela Anderson. Born Thomas Lee Bass in Athens, Greece, as the son of a U.S. Army serviceman and a Greek beauty pageant queen, Lee received a drum set at the age of four, but reportedly didn't begin arduous practice until his teenage years, coincident with his discovery of the heavy metal acts Deep Purple, KISS, and Led Zeppelin. He formed the heavy metal ensemble Suite 19 in his late teens and began securing gigs at Los Angeles-area clubs, but fate lent a helping hand by introducing him to Nikki Sixx, a bassist initially interested in forming a rock band guided by a sense of theatricality. When combined with the involvement of rockers Vince Neil and Mick Mars (and, years later, John Corabi, brought in to replace Neil), the young men formed Mötley Crüe, which sold millions of records and became one of the defining rock acts of the 1980s, a status capped by the issue of such albums as Theater of Pain (1985), Girls, Girls, Girls (1987), and Dr. Feelgood (1989).
Lee remained with Crüe through 1999; in the meantime he became involved with -- and wed -- two high-profile women: actress Heather Locklear (Melrose Place) and Anderson, with whom he weathered a particularly stormy relationship that included a sex tape scandal, an incident where Lee got incarcerated for allegedly hitting Anderson in front of their children, and all sorts of other mayhem including multiple separations.
In 1999, Lee left Crüe to pursue a series of unrelated musical projects, including the formation of the rap metal act Methods of Mayhem, guest appearances on albums by artists including Rob Zombie and Nine Inch Nails, and various recordings that foregrounded Lee and his musical stylings.
Lee enjoyed a second act in his career -- in a much different venue -- with the rise of reality television during the mid- to late 2000s. He produced and starred in two major reality series: NBC's 2005 effort Tommy Lee Goes to College, which witnessed him enrolling in university courses, as well as joining a marching band, and the 2006 Rock Star: Supernova, a competition-themed reality program in which Lee and other rockers auditioned musicians to play as a new member of their band. The rocker also participated in the 2004 celebrity video Playboy: Hot Shots (which found Lee and others photographing Playboy magazine pictorials) and the 2005 Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson, opposite Anderson, Jimmy Kimmel, Andy Dick, and others. In 2008, Lee signed on as executive producer of The Dirt, a biopic of Crüe set to star Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer, and directed by Borat and Seinfeld alum Larry Charles.
