George R. R. Martin may have been talking about the violent yet loveable gang from Game of Thrones here, but isn't this observation true of most characters? Regardless of whether these 'villains' are hanging out in Westeros, a zombie apocalypse or the far reaches of space, the majority of bad guys are often more misunderstood than we give them credit for.
Marvel movies aside, the generic, moustache-twirling stereotypes from yesteryear are mostly long gone. In their place stand widely drawn characters who fully believe that what they're doing is right and just. The likes of Negan, Darth Vader and even The Joker don't see themselves as evil necessarily, and perhaps, neither should we. (Although they certainly don't do themselves any favors when they bash the skulls of beloved characters into paste.)
Whether you think these iconic characters are tragic heroes or are truly just evil to their core, let's take a walk in their shoes for once and see if there's any humanity left in these seemingly wicked villains.
Negan (The Walking Dead)
Why They're Bad:
- Tortured Daryl with catchy ditties.
- Played baseball with Glenn's skull.
- Didn't kill Carl when he had the chance.
Why They're Misunderstood:
Before the dead rose from their graves, gym teacher #Negan cheated on his wife after discovering she had cancer. Ok, yes, this isn't model hero behaviour either, but Negan only had the affair after struggling to deal with his wife's diagnosis and the pair soon put this behind them as he re-dedicated his life to her. I'm not sure how he managed to gain the affection of two women while wearing gym shorts to work, but I digress.
Just as the apocalypse hit and walkers began to overtake the hospital, Negan's wife died beside him, rising as a zombie just moments later. Shock twist; Her name was Lucille. That's right. Negan carries a constant reminder of his dead wife around with him everywhere he goes, inflicting the pain he feels on others. Sure, he may seem like a barbaric monster, but in reality, Negan is a sad, broken gym teacher who genuinely works hard to keep his Saviors safe in their Sanctuary.
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
Negan could finally live up to that title of Savior, doing us all a favor by finally giving Carl a haircut before choking him on his goddamned chocolate pudding. It wasn't fair to tease us with that arm trick in the Season 7 premiere, Negan. Finish the job already.

Darth Vader (Star Wars Franchise)
Why They're Bad:
- Killed all of the Younglings.
- Killed his son's mentor, Obi Wan Kenobi.
- Just super annoying to work with.
Why They're Misunderstood:
While Darth Vader is clearly a hero for two-thirds of the prequel trilogy, it's better for everyone involved that we simply ignore the existence of these films. Instead, let's turn our attention to the classic run that began with #StarWars: A New Hope.
Despite being perceived as a seemingly bad character for the majority of his adult life, Anakin Skywalker eventually redeemed himself in his final moments by hurling Emperor Palpatine to his death, saving the galaxy in the process. What does Luke Skywalker do in comparison? That's right. The supposed hero swans off for a hipster retreat in the middle of some remote backwater planet while the galaxy turns to shit.
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
Instead of force choking the crap out of everyone he meets, Darth Vader needs to calm the hell down and invest in some quality skin products. Like a green Jedi midget once said; "Feel as good as you look you do," or something along those lines.
Xenomorph Queen (Aliens)
Why They're Bad:
- Gave birth to a murderous race of alien predators.
- Tried to kill Ellen Ripley, the most bad ass of all bitches.
- Tried to kill Newt, the... actually, we're ok with that one.
Why They're Misunderstood:
Picture this: the alien Xenomorph Queen's one role in life is to give birth to children and ensure the survival of her species. Sure, these children are monstrous creatures that freak us out with their genital faces, but the Queen is a mother and therefore obliged to love her offspiring, regardless of whether they look like deformed reproductive organs or not.
Don't blame the Xenomorph Queen for trying to protect her young. Blame the Weyland Corporation for throwing this iconic maternal figure into conflict with Ripley in the first place. All she really wants is to be left alone with her genocidal batch of sticky eggs. What more could an alien Queen ask for?
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
Sure, the Xenomorph Queen is a living nightmare in the looks department, but she should really consider sitting Ripley down in order to have a proper heart to heart, woman to woman. After all, motherhood is a tough burden to bear, regardless of which species you're from, and lord knows the Xenomorph's baby daddy is long gone by now.

Gaston (Beauty & The Beast)
Why They're Bad:
- Tried to kill the Beast.
- Misogynist AF.
- Ate the town's entire supply of eggs.
Why They're Misunderstood:
There's no two ways about it: Gaston is cocky, and he doesn't treat women with the respect that they deserve. But does this really make him a villain?
Unsurprisingly, when a savage and yet oddly attractive beast kidnaps the love of his life, Gaston decides to take action and enlists his fellow townspeople for help. Imagine how the musclebound 'villain' must have felt when Belle turned round and defended her captor, exhibiting literally every possible symptom of Stockholm Syndrome in the process.
Saving Belle should have been Gaston's crowning moment, the pinnacle of everything that his life had built towards. Instead, the poor man plunged to his death while candles and cupboards secretly serenaded his final moments.
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
While it would be somewhat out of character, Gaston should probably have considered taking a more subtle approach to rescuing Belle, approaching the Beast's castle without his pitchfork-wielding entourage in tow. After shooting the monster's head off while it slept, Gaston and a close team of friends could have then systematically dismantled each and every one of the castle's freaky inanimate objects before subjecting Belle to the years of psychological therapy that she so sorely needs.

The Joker (Batman Franchise)
Why They're Bad:
- Paralyzed and sexually assaulted Barbara Gordon.
- Bludgeoned the second Robin with a crowbar before killing him in an explosion.
- Jared Leto.
Why They're Misunderstood:
While there have been many versions of the Joker in Hollywood over the years, Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Clown Prince in The Dark Knight is arguably the most disturbing, assuming of course that you ignore Jared Leto's... Jared Leto.
What most people fail to realize, though, is that the Joker does far more to eliminate crime and corruption in Gotham City than Batman ever does. By robbing the bank in the beginning of the film, the Clown Prince of Crime makes a huge dent in the savings of the mob and even turns key members against one another. Following that, the Joker then declared war on Gotham's law institutions, rooting out the city's corruption by creating dramatic examples, much like Batman himself does too.
On top of all that, the Joker also excels at magic tricks, making him a delight to have around at children's birthday parties.
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
Batman may not be particularly popular with Gotham's citizens in the Nolanverse, but his approval rates still out shine the Joker's, so we'd suggest that the Clown Prince of Crime could follow Christian Bale's lead and freak out with a loud shouty voice, both in front of and behind the camera.
Sid (Toy Story)
Why They're Bad:
- Performed a double-bypass brain transplant on a toy Pterodactyl and a Janie Doll, even though no surgery was required.
- Tried to lobotomize Woody.
- That haircut.
Why They're Misunderstood:
In the first #ToyStory film, Sid is portrayed as an evil monster who mercilessly tortures toys with sadistic glee. That's all true. Who hasn't met sick little f**ks like Sid who take joy in the pain of others? However, it's worth bearing in mind that Sid had no idea that the toys he was performing amateur surgery on were actually alive.
Sure, Sid's still a little bitch, but haven't we all thought about blowing up our little sister's toys with fireworks before? Just me? Ok, but it's worth bearing in mind how traumatized Sid must have been after all of his toys came to life. A cameo in Toy Story 3 revealed that Sid had become a garbage collector, still wearing the same skull shirt and listening to the same heavy metal music that he enjoyed as a child. Text book case of traumatic regression.
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
The only way that Sid can win back the hearts of audiences now is to open up a toy hospital where he walks around and tells shit jokes, Patch Adams style.
Bruce (Jaws)
Why They're Bad:
- Ate people.
- Made the beach a scary place to visit.
- Killed a skinny-dipping hottie before she could get her goodies out.
Why They're Misunderstood:
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, Bruce the shark messed everything up by snacking on the residents of Amity Island with gluttonous abandon, all without taking a single moment to consider how this would affect the town's dependency on tourism.
In truth though, who's really to blame here? Bruce was just doing what sharks were born to do, whereas the townsfolk living at Amity Island should have considered other ways to keep their economy afloat, investing money in shark cages or sneakers.
What They Can Do To Restore Their Reputation:
Shark Week usually exploits our non-legged friends with dramatic reenactments of crazed shark attacks, but what if Bruce could arrange a candid interview with the team behind the Discovery Channel, humanizing his insatiable lust for food?
Bruce isn't so bad, right guys?:

Congress seeks Shivaji Park ground for function
This was stated by Mukesh Vashi, counsel for Congress, before a bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and Gautam Patel.
Vashi assured that Congress would lay down a carpet on the ground to protect the cricket pitch. The court observed that Shiv Sena, which too was granted permission to hold Dussehra rally at Shivaji Park grounds, had flouted the noise pollution norms and also damaged the cricket pitch, despite giving a assurance that it would not do so.
"What is the use of giving an undertaking that laws would be obeyed when in fact they were being violated?", the Judges asked.
However, Congress assured that they would give an undertaking that noise pollution laws would be complied with and cricket pitch protected.
The Judges asked the Congress why it was so keen on holding its function at the Shivaji Park ground which had been declared as a "silence zone" earlier by the high court?.
"Why the party was not considering to celebrate the event at some other ground such as MMRDA in Bandra?," the bench asked.
The judges also quipped, "Are you (Congress) ready to pay security deposit in nine figures"?. To this, the Congress' counsel said in a lighter vein, "We are a poor party, Sir".
The court also wondered what was the urgency for the Congress to seek permission for the ground now as the function date was far away. However, the party said it had to invite dignitaries and hence needed time to make preparations.
WeCom Trust, on whose plea the high court had earlier passed orders declaring Shivaji Park ground as a silence zone, said loud speakers or public address system were not allowed at any functions held at this place.
It pointed out that a committee appointed by the high court to monitor noise pollution in this place had stated in its report that Shiv Sena flouted the noise pollution laws.
The matter would be heard on November 12.

1.1.3 Some Mathematical Functions
Mathematica includes a very large collection of mathematical functions. Section 3.2 gives the complete list. Here are a few of the common ones.
Some common mathematical functions.
Two important points about functions in Mathematica.
It is important to remember that all function arguments in Mathematica are enclosed in square brackets, not parentheses. Parentheses in Mathematica are used only to indicate the grouping of terms, and never to give function arguments.
This gives . Notice the capital letter for Log, and the square brackets for the argument.
In[1]:= Log[8.4]
Just as with arithmetic operations, Mathematica tries to give exact values for mathematical functions when you give it exact input.
This gives as an exact integer.
In[2]:= Sqrt[16]
This gives an approximate numerical result for .
In[3]:= Sqrt[2] //N
The presence of an explicit decimal point tells Mathematica to give an approximate numerical result.
In[4]:= Sqrt[2.]
Since you are not asking for an approximate numerical result, Mathematica leaves the number here in an exact symbolic form.
In[5]:= Sqrt[2]
Here is the exact integer result for . Computing factorials like this can give you very large numbers. You should be able to calculate up to at least 2000! in a short time.
In[6]:= 30!
This gives the approximate numerical value of the factorial.
In[7]:= 30! //N
Some common mathematical constants.
Notice that the names of these built-in constants all begin with capital letters.
This gives the numerical value of .
In[8]:= Pi ^ 2 //N
This gives the exact result for . Notice that the arguments to trigonometric functions are always in radians.
In[9]:= Sin[Pi/2]
This gives the numerical value of . Multiplying by the constant Degree converts the argument to radians.
In[10]:= Sin[20 Degree] //N
Log[x] gives logarithms to base .
In[11]:= Log[E ^ 5]
You can get logarithms in any base b using Log[b, x]. As in standard mathematical notation, the b is optional.
In[12]:= Log[2, 256]

Kunchacko Boban, Manju Warrier and Indrajith Sukumaran-starrer "Vettah" is one of the much-awaited projects in Malayalam, as it is the directorial venture of hit-maker Rajesh Pillai.
"Vettah is going to be one of the most thrilling suspense movies in South Indian films. It is a mind game that revolves around three people. Arunlal has scripted the movie for which Anishlal has cranked the camera," says Kunchacko Boban in a video posted on Manju's Facebook page.
Read Vettah live audience review
Kunchacko, who had earlier worked with Rajesh in the hit movie "Traffic", says Rajesh as a director always tries to given an emotional angle to his thriller movies: "'Traffic' still remains in the mind of the audience as Rajesh gave an emotional angle to it rather than making it a fast-paced movie. I believe he has given importance to feelings and emotions in the psychological thriller 'Vettah' as well."
"I still remember the non-stop applause of the audience when Rajesh's name was seen on the screen after the movie 'Traffic'. Years later, I have got a chance to work with him again in 'Vettah' along with talented artistes Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Shaan Rahman, and others," he adds.
"Vettah" also has Vijayaraghavan, Sandhya, Deepak Parambol, Prem Prakash, Dr Rony, Kottayam Nazeer and Santhosh Keezhattoor in pivotal roles. While Manju will be seen as police commissioner Sribala, Kunchacko plays a mysterious character named Melvin in the psychological thriller. The movie marks their comeback after Rosshan Andrews' blockbuster movie "How Old Are You" (2014).
Produced by Haneef Mohammad under the banner Red Rose Creations in association with Rajesh Pillai Films, "Vettah" is scheduled to hit the theatres Feb. 26.

WEST VALLEY CITY — Mayor Mike Winder announced Wednesday he will not seek re-election this fall.
Winder, who has been West Valley's mayor since 2009, said in a prepared statement that his decision, "was a financial one, based on his need to provide for his family with full-time employment."
"Public service is always a sacrifice for a family, and in our city's council-manager form of government it is especially difficult to serve as mayor," Winder said. "Although the pay is part-time, the duties of the job of mayor have daily demands that make other employment very difficult."
Winder, 37, noted in his press release and in tweets that he earned $35,000 per year as mayor, significantly less than the mayors of Provo, Sandy and Salt Lake City. West Valley is Utah's second biggest city after Salt Lake.
His term in office has been eventful, particularly with the city's police department. Since 2009, the city's police department has been under scrutiny as it investigated Susan Powell's disappearance, the fatal officer-involved shooting of 21-year-old Danielle Willard, and problems within its Neighborhood Narcotics Unit.6 comments on this story
Winder made headlines of his own in 2011 when he admitted that wrote news stories about West Valley City for the Oquirrh Times and the Deseret News under the name Richard Burwash. Fallout from the incident included Winder resigning his position as director of public affairs for The Summit Group, and he was reprimanded by his City Council colleagues.
Winder ran for Salt Lake County mayor in 2012, losing in the primary election.
He also was mayor during a major overhaul of the Valley Fair Mall, including 300,000 new square feet of retail space. A TRAX line also made its way to West Valley during his administration.
Prior to being mayor, Winder served one term on the city council and four years as the city's business development manager. He and his wife, Karyn, have four children.

Cave City, KY to Cumberland Gap National Park, VA
Cumberland Gap Travel Blog› entry 18 of 62 › view all entries
Cave City, KY to Cumberland Gap National Park, VA
Had a good nights rest at Cave City even though the trains were serenading us throughout the night (we love trains …others might not). :-}
Had breakfast at the local Cracker Barrel. It was so busy due to being Memorial Day I'm sure, but well worth the wait..very good food. We did get a late start today however. We headed out to Cumberland Falls, KY and of course picked a slow going curvy road. The falls are billed as the "Niagara Falls of the South", talk about being on a roll here (remember the falls at ID). We also saw the "Frozen Niagara Falls" at Mammoth Cave. We are beginning to wonder just how many we have missed if any that is?! Saw the real Niagara Falls last year. We drove on to the Cumberland Gap, but alas, no gap that we could see. In 1996 they built a wonderful tunnel through the mountains. This in hopes to keep further destruction of the gap from happening. We were in three states in less than a minute. KY thru the tunnel, TN over the road upon leaving the tunnel, then VA on the other side. Found The Cumberland Gap National Park Campground for the night.

Travis: 'When we were massive, I was miserable, it was too much work'
Now in the 'second half of their career', Travis have a new album out later this month. Fran Healy and Dougie Payne talk to Andy Welch about catchy tunes and being rock star dads
Travis, by their own admission, have entered into the second half of their career. With their upcoming eighth album, Everything At Once, they are some way to completing the dozen albums they predicted they would way back in 1997, when they released their debut, Good Feeling.
"I think we'll get to 12 and be upset we have to finish, so we'll do 16," says frontman Fran Healy. "If we pace it right, we can do it. Set yourself a sensible goal: 12 albums is a decent career."
"That's a good brick of CDs on the shelf," adds bass player Dougie Payne. "But it's all about the songs and it will continue to be, I'd imagine. I can't see album 11 being discordant musical landscapes. You can spend your whole life working with chords and melodies, it's infinite."
It's hard to imagine old friends Healy, Payne, guitarist Andy Dunlop and drummer Neil Primrose doing anything other than being in Travis, really. As Payne points out, it's been "20 years now, and 25 or so as mates".
The new album comes just under three years after 2013's Where You Stand, which marked the band's return after six years away.
Even in conversation, Healy is a poetic soul. When talk turns to what it was like making Everything At Once, he describes how creating their previous record was like getting an old car out of storage in the garage, taking off the tarpaulin, tentatively making sure everything still works, before starting the engine and giving the paint a good polish.
"This time, it was like starting off with the engine running and all of us sitting in the car already," he says.
Payne chips in that it was also reminiscent of the The Man Who, their second album - and the record that catapulted Travis into the stratosphere, with sales of around three million in the UK alone, after its release in 1999.
"Back then, we'd write a bit, then record some, then go away and write some more, then go into the studio again, rather than doing it in a big block, and that's what we did this time," he explains. "I think there's a similar roll to some of the songs, too."
If Everything At Once shares anything with The Man Who, it is incredible brevity, clocking in at around 34 minutes (The Man Who, not counting a long stretch of silence between the final track and bonus snippet, is a shade under 40).
In fact, the songs on Everything At Once are so short that their radio promoter asked to have some extra material added to single 3 Miles High.
"It's probably the only incident of a radio edit of a song being longer than the version on the album," says Payne.
"That was actually the hardest part last time around, making radio edits, cutting bits out of songs we thought were perfect as they were. So this time, we did that earlier in the process, as they were being cooked."
Being on the radio is a big deal for Travis, Healy in particular, who still believes it's the best way to discover new music.
"Despite all the things that we have, Spotify and YouTube and whatever, radio is key," he says. "All the new things are good and have their place, but radio broadcasts all the time, and it's curated by humans, in the large part.
"I have radio on all the time at home in Berlin, and it's sometimes different music in Germany, but things will catch my ear and I turn it up to find out what it is. We all love that, and music still has that lovely invisible quality, where you don't need to see what it looks like, just what it sounds like." Similarly, Healy says he always has an ear on what will make a good single, not necessarily just so he can get on the radio, but because that's the music he enjoys; short, memorable melodies that anyone can whistle.
It's clearly something he's very good at. The Man Who, and third album The Invisible Band, were laden with the kinds of singles you only needed to hear once to have the hook embedded in your head.
The band were sometimes derided for writing crowd-pleasing anthems, or for the ubiquity of songs such as Driftwood, Writing To Reach You, Sing, and of course, Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, but countless songwriters would give albums' worth of more adventurous music, for just one song that connected with the public as those did.
"I like to write songs that get stuck in my head," says Healy. "I start with a 10-second-long thing that I roll out into a whole song. One minute, two minutes, whatever. Three-minute songs are fine, but when someone's walking down the street, they're only singing eight seconds of it. I'm not trying to write 'radio songs' as such, but that's the way I work."
It was that strategy which propelled the band to the position of one of the UK's biggest bands during the late-Nineties and early-Noughties, and while they might not be quite at that level any more - something they're more than happy about - they do still have a strong, huge fan base.
More important to them, however, is their own wellbeing.
"When we were massive, I was miserable," says Stafford-born Healy (42). "It was too much work. But we've never felt as in-shape as we are now, in terms of the music and the state of the band.
"What you deem success changes as you go. We've won the Brit awards, sold millions of records and been, you know, up there, had everyone calling our name and all that. But you get that, and then think, 'I don't feel successful; I never have a minute to myself'.
"To us, balance is success. Balancing it all, allowing the craziness, but also other things. I am a father - all four of us now have kids - so we have to allow time for that."
Both he and Payne talk about wanting to show their sons - now they're of an age to notice what dad does for a living - what their day job is all about, and Healy tells a touching story about plotting the route of a recent tour with 10-year-old son Clay, and telling him that, in his absence, he has to be man of the house.
Payne, meanwhile, recounts a gig last year that saw his two worlds collide.
"My son Freddie was at the side of the stage with my parents, and he kept taking off his ear defenders, so I was trying to look good, playing the bass while mouthing for him to put his ear defenders back on. Rock star dads for you."
"We've realised the important thing in all this is us," concludes Healy. "The four of us, not everything that goes with it. If ever anything happened where we got that big again, we'd know what to do.
"We have the band to look after, but we also have real-life kids to look after. The most important thing."

First came spring rains that filled Thurmond Lake to the brim. Then came hot weather that on many days has filled campgrounds, beaches and boat ramps to capacity.
Ideal conditions for boating, fishing and swimming at Thurmond Lake have kept park rangers on their toes, especially on weekends. In May, user fees at Army Corps of Engineers' campgrounds, day-use areas and the visitor center at Thurmond Dam were up 25 percent compared with 2014, said recreation chief manager Chrissy Alford. April fees were up 12 percent.
Randy Prickett knows the thrill of cruising through four miles of green lights along Washington Road without having to stop between the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Evans and Bobby Jones Expressway in Martinez.
The traffic engineer has ridden it, seen it happen on video and, through the help of two analysts, he hopes to make it an everyday occurrence in Columbia County.
By the time anyone reads this, the news will out, Ben Harbin is leaving the state legislature.
Since this column is just about the last thing to get done each issue, It was the only place I have left to include something on Harbin's sudden and surprising departure.
It was a surprise to me, which might not be any surprise to you. Others surely were aware, but I think most of Harbin's constituents in District 122 were not expecting this solid, 20-year veteran of state House politics to jump ship mid-stream, so to speak.

Jennifer Mendez and Cecilia Perez weren't planning on making history Friday, but they couldn't let the historic day go by without trying.
"For seven years we've been acting like we've been married, just without the court documents and the privileges," the 29-year-old Perez said Monday, recalling how she and Mendez became the first same-sex couple to obtain a marriage license in Columbia County after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalized those unions in every state Friday morning.
The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Breaker tripped in Evans home
An Evans man told deputies late Saturday that someone was in his home and tripped a breaker.
The man said he returned home with his wife at about 10:45 p.m. and smelled smoke. The power was off. The man flipped the breaker and the power came back on. He then noticed some broken glass on the floor in the living room and some upstairs on a balcony.
Dennis Trudeau plans to don his "I ♥ Grovetown" hat and sling some barbecue at the city's annual July 4 Celebration.
The barbecue is a gift to the community that the city councilman and former mayor started 28 years ago.
The free event is from noon to 3 p.m., or until the barbecue runs out, at Liberty park Community Center on Newmantown Road. The meal is free, but take-out plates cost $5.
"We have a good time," Trudeau said.
Though as many as 3,000 people celebrate at the event, Trudeau said it came out of a trying time in the city.
July 4 celebrations will likely be a little more festive this year because the sale and use of fireworks in Georgia is legal.
Gov. Nathan Deal signed a bill on May 5 that allows for the sale and regulation of consumer fireworks statewide.
The new law went into effect today. Buyers must be at least 18.
Columbia County will be celebrating the July 4 holiday with fun and fireworks.
The 21st annual Fourth of July Celebration will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday at Evans Towne Center Park. The evening will end with a patriotic fireworks display.
"We have an incredible fireworks show," said county Community Events Specialist Virginia Atkins. "It starts right at dark."
An afternoon of family activities and entertainment leads up to the fireworks.
Jane Cashin can't remember how long she has been a Casa volunteer. CASA is the arm of child enrichment that works in the field to evaluate cases of child neglect and abuse for the court.
Cashin stands out for her longevity in a field in which volunteers typically last only two or three years. She volunteered with the agency in Illinois before she moved here 18 years ago.
Casa Program Director Dawn Charleston-Green said, "Miss Jane is a different breed (of volunteer) altogether. If the child moves and she has built up a relationship, she will go to where the child is."

According to Aaron Curry, the Cleveland Browns are giving away company secrets.
After the Seahawks shipped Curry to the Raiders, the linebacker's first blood with Oakland came in a 24-17 win over the Browns. He played well, and he knows why. Curry said the Browns' offensive line telegraphed, well, EVERYTHING.
"One of the O-linemen from Cleveland, they gave it up every play -- most of the time, I'd say about 70 percent of the time -- whether it was run or pass," Curry told reporters after the game. "They had no clue they were doing it, but I figured it out from just watching the film."
Cleveland's 23rd-ranked offense has played at times as if they're doing just as Curry reported, but Pro Bowl offensive tackle Joe Thomas laughed it off.
"He must be a wizard because after being (in Oakland) one day, he figured it out?" Thomas told The Plain Dealer. "He must be really smart. ... I'm sure if a guy was leaning really far back or really far forward, maybe (he could see it). But for one day? That is very impressive."
Thomas said he and the team rigorously self-scout their line and would have nabbed any showy tendencies: "If I would have noticed something, we would have taken care of it."
Something the Browns haven't taken care of? The mere 97 points they've scored in six games, tied for fourth-worst in the league with the Seahawks. Consider that the Saints have scattered 239 points on the enemy during the same stretch. Hard to pin all those problems on an O-lineman's stance.

What our members say about Business Alliance
What Business Alliance members say about being part of the Thames Valley business community.
Jeanette Harris, HR Business Partner, Zurich, has discovered many benefits from the Chamber's Business Alliance membership. "These include the opportunity to connect and network with other companies across the Thames Valley; access to events such as Bank of England briefings; business events with speakers on various topics – these have been particularly relevant as leadership development opportunities for a number of our senior talent. In addition, we hosted the HR Forum in Swindon last autumn; it was there that I met Alison Heath who subsequently hosted our valuable visit to Cisco".
Stephen Bates, MD, UK & Ireland, Canon UK: "Thames Valley is a very well organised, well run Chamber! A voice that represents industry is important as it enables us all to understand business better. Members act as a catalyst to share knowledge, experience and learn from each other. The right environment to meet different companies is often difficult but the Chamber provides this, particularly with Windsor Debates and other events".
Stuart Dorn, Executive Director, Royal Windsor Racecourse: "The team structure and level of businesses involved sets the Chamber apart. It is a fantastic organisation and great at making introductions. This helps us with our objective to outreach into the business community. I attended the last Windsor Debates about Artificial Intelligence – this was fascinating – particularly as this will be used in betting".
Ian Hopkins, Managing Partner, B P Collins: "I am totally committed to the business community and to what the Chamber delivers. I attended Windsor Debates last year which was fantastic. I met new people, it was good for networking and the content took me out of my comfort zone! It is something special to spend a day and night at Windsor Castle".

William "Bill" Cummings (1928 - September 7, 2002) was an English stuntman and actor. He played the thug Quist in the 1965 film, Thunderball.
Cummings was born in 1928 in England.
He did stunts from 1962-1967, for a total of 5 years.
In 1965, 37-year-old Bill Cummings was called over to Elstree Studios, to play Quist.
The stuntman was paid $450 to jump into the shark pool. Due to the dangers on the set, Cummings demanded an extra fee £250 to double for Largo's sidekick Quist as he was dropped into the pool of sharks.
William Cummings died at the age of 74 on September 7, 2002.

"The writing's on the wall," is a cliché that simply refers to an inevitable conclusion, or an obvious ending. For those who live on the edge in the aerosol-covered inner city areas of urban sprawl, life often reflects a much more tragic inevitability; leaving behind a trail of lost souls
immortalized through candlelit curbside memorials and tribute t-shirts. One wayward child of the ghetto destined to follow this unfortunate path was Los Angeles artist Big Sleeps.
Luckily for him, the inevitable fate he was headed towards became quite different and anything but tragic. Unbeknownst to the aspiring artist at the time, he was to transcend and translate these urban writing styles of his childhood neighborhoods to the rest of the world, becoming an ambassador for the many fallen concrete calligraphers who never survived the rough canvases of Los Angeles they painted on.
Big Sleeps is truly a survivor in every sense of the word, and the streets that nearly swallowed him whole remain bound by intricate, spray-painted letter styles which act as a code of survival called "the placa,"− a localized from of graffiti writing found on neighborhood walls, park benches, bus stops, and fences. It is self expression in the most territorial sense, and while it serves many purposes to those who live amongst these writings, it served more as a silent mentor and inspiration for Sleeps, who absorbed the intoxicating perfection found in the carefully stylized scripts.
"My influences came from the stuff I saw growing up," he says. I think my whole life was an influence in a way. Seeing everything around me on walls, fences, and buildings just walking to school, it just motivated me to try to make my art; I find beauty in different shit." Stints behind bars couldn't even deter the young artist's obsession as even without a can or a pen, Sleeps would find himself perfecting these styles with his finger in the air; obsessing over the creation and perfection of new lettering styles − even if he was without the resources to properly do so.
Fast forward to today and the second chapter of life is in full swing for Big Sleeps, having finally shed the troublesome trials and tribulations of his neighborhood upbringing. After receiving his introduction to the world of tattooing in the late '80's, Sleeps has since come into his own as one of the culture's most well respected artists; earning him stints with Lowrider Tattoo, Will Rise Tattoo, and Modern Ink, to name a few.
He's collaborated with a slew of well-respected artists and companies including Sullen, OG Abel, Boog, Norm, Slick and Dissizit in a variety of critically acclaimed and commercially successful mediums.
His third book, "Neighborhood Offerings," a joint documentation of placa street styles Sleeps put together with his mentor and street legend, Prime, has even been picked up at the Getty Research Institute, where it sits alongside hieroglyphics and ancient parchment scrolls in a further exploration of mankind's intrinsic need to express itself.
Big Sleeps also garnered a 10-page spread in Bound By Ink Magazine, where he opened up about his career, upbringing, influences, and how he coped with the loss of his mother.
In September of 2012, his hand-painted skate decks were displayed alongside mentor and fellow K2S crew member, Jose "Prime" Reza, at the Plaza De La Raza's Boathouse Gallery for a show sponsored by the Baurmann Gallery.
These days it would seem as though the time he once had too much of behind bars has now become a scarce commodity, as Big Sleeps' appointment calendar remains full with projects, appointments, and collaborations, all furthering his career as an artist. While Sleeps is working hard to earn his artistic stripes, his passport is collecting stamps as travels to tattoo in places like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, spreading the gospel of the placa worldwide.
Rather than speak about his own exploits, the accomplished artist is quick to salute those who came before him and those that inspire him to succeed; artists like Prime, Defer, and Cricket, as well as his musically- inclined peers Sick Jacken and Big Duke of the Psycho Realm, whom he credits for schooling him in business etiquette while giving him his first break in artistic design.
Despite his newfound worldwide perspective, Sleeps maintains a humble, community-based mindset, speaking to local Los Angeles at-risk youth and working with Second Chance, a company which works with Homeboy Industries to give rehabilitated former prisoners employment opportunities.
Though he lost his mother to cancer before she could see him blossom into the artist he is today, Sleeps is steadied by his girl and his family, respected by his peers, adored by his customers, and poised to continue his upward flight into the clouds of creativity and the annals of contemporary art.
His is a tale of redemption, and it is certainly poetic justice that the man who once saw the alleys of his neighborhood as his only artistic refuge now sees the entire world as his canvas.

Rebeca Eigen
Life Path Number 7
Rebeca Eigen is a female celebrity.
She was born on Friday September 26th 1952, in Laredo, TX, USA,.
Rebeca Eigen is the searcher and the seeker of the truth. She has a clear and compelling sense of herself as a spiritual being. As a result, Rebeca's life path is devoted to investigations into the unknown, and finding the answers to the mysteries of life.
Eigen is well-equipped to handle her task. She possesses a fine mind, and is an analytical thinker, capable of great concentration and theoretical insight. Rebeca Eigen enjoys research, and putting the pieces of an intellectual puzzle together. Once she has enough pieces in place, Rebeca is capable of highly creative insight and practical solutions to problems.
Rebeca Eigen enjoys her solitude and prefers to work alone. She needs time to contemplate her ideas without the intrusion of other people's thoughts. Rebeca is a lone wolf, a person who lives by his own ideas and methods. As a result, close associations are difficult for her to form and keep, especially marriage. Eigen needs her space and privacy, which, when violated, can cause her great frustration and irritation.
When her life is balanced, however, Rebeca Eigen is both charming and attractive. She can be the life of a party, and enjoy performing before an audience. Rebeca enjoys displaying her wit and knowledge, which makes her attractive to others, especially the opposite sex.
But Eigen has distinct limits. While she is generous in social situations, sharing her attention and energy freely, she is keenly aware of the need to "come off stage" and return to the solitude of her lair. Rebeca Eigen associates peace with the unobtrusive privacy of her world. Therefore, intimacy is difficult for Rebeca, because she guards her inner world like a mother lion does her cubs.
All this privacy and aloneness can cause isolation and loneliness, however. Rebeca Eigen can be aware of an emptiness in her life, a part of her that yearns for company and close companionship that may be unsatisfied.
If isolation is brought to the extreme, Rebeca can become cynical and suspicious. She might develop hidden, selfish motives, which people may sense and may cause them discomfort around her. Eigen must guard against becoming too withdrawn and independent, thus shutting out the love of others and keeping her from experiencing the true joy of friendship and close companionship.
Rebeca Eigen must especially watch out for selfishness and egocentricity, thinking of herself as the center of the universe, the only person who really matters. Social contact gives Rebeca perspective on herself and on life, while too much isolation can make her too narrow and even shut off from the rest of the world.
Secretly, Eigen may feel jealous of the easy relationships formed by others; she may perceive others as less inhibited than her, or more free to express themselves. She may harshly criticize herself for not being more gregarious, powerful, or capable of greater leadership.

Gidi culture festival, being a beach front gathering of free-spirited people, whose sole purpose is to have fun on a sunny day through a host of activities and performances will require that attendees, celebrities and performers dress as casually and as freely as they can, taking into consideration, the activities, the sandy environment and prevailing temperature in the city of Lagos.
Gidi Fest attracts people from across the continent and it is a custom for fashionable festival goers to look their best, even when casually dressed. This makes the festival a go-to place for identifying fashion trends and most importantly, there will also be sales of fashion pieces on-site.
Considering previous editions of the festival, it is clear that the following constitute some essential components of a Gidi Fest attendee outfit as well as other necessary items:
– Sunshade: To protect your eyes from sun glare.
– Knapsack/ backpack/ Fanny pack: For storing carry-about items.
– Sneakers/ Sandals/ Slippers: To navigate the sandy beach.
– Face cap/ Hat: To shield your head from heat and sunburn.
– Sunscreen: To protect your skin. This may need to be reapplied.
– Light make-up: Because of the unpredictable weather.
– Mid-size towel: To dry yourself when perspiring.
– Wristbands: To spice up your appearance.

pella storm door sweep model 3525

Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 29, 2016
I'm not sure if we carry the exact sweep you need. The 58-162 has a 1/8" top, but the head has a triangular shape and I'm not sure how the height matches yours. Furthermore, the 58-162 is not meant for Pella doors, which can be very specific in terms of what hardware can be used. Would you be able to get the 58-162 to work? Does it differ in any significant way?

Enviropest Control Services – Mole Pest Control
Having wildlife in your garden can be an enticing thought, as bird watching is a popular hobby for many. However when other wildlife become evident, issues can be caused. In the same respect, unwanted wildlife on your commercial property need to be controlled swiftly, as small issues become big problems quickly.
You may not think that Garden Moles would cause issues, but with their ability to tunnel as much as four metres an hour, and breeding 3-4 moles each year, your garden or landscape could soon be overrun with unsightly mole hills, causing health and safety issues for residents, employees and customers.
Our team at Enviropest Control Services have two decades of experience in the field and have worked in the following industries:
- Nurseries, Schools and Colleges,
- Restaurants, Pubs and people in the Food and Packaging Industry,
- Housing Associations,
- Factories and Warehouses.
When you are in need of Mole pest control, our team will carry out a full survey on your residential or commercial property in order to establish the size of the issue, before planning a control strategy that is both environmentally conscious and humane.
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we are members of numerous health and safety associations, as well as being ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) accredited; so you can rely on our swift and reliable service to carry out effective Mole control.
When Moles are a problem for your home or business, call our professional team on 0121 693 6616 or fill in our contact form for a personal business that puts your needs first.

It's Virgin Missing Adventure time at The Doctor Who Book Club, but this month's adventure wasn't really missing in the first place and, well, it doesn't really prominently feature a Doctor, either. This month we bring you Downtime, based on the independently written screenplay by Marc Platt which was filmed in the early 1990's and released a year or so before the novelization was published. From the back cover:
Across the room, in a high-backed leather chair Victoria saw the old man from the reading room. His face was curiously young for someone so long dead.
In 1966 the Doctor defeated the Great Intelligence, but he knew it wasn't a final victory. And his companion Victoria, whose mind had once hosted the evil entity, might still fall prey to its power.
Now it seems that his fears are justified. In a Tibetan monastery, the monks display unearthly powers – UNIT are investigating. A new university has opened in London with a secret agenda that may threaten the whole country. Victoria, abandoned in an age very different from her own, and haunted by visions of a father she refuses to believe is dead, is slipping into despair and madness. But are the visions which plague her really hallucinations? Or has the Great Intelligence once again made Earth its target for invasion?
If you enjoy irony, it's worth noting that Platt intended Downtime to be the last installment in a trilogy (after "The Abominable Snowmen" and "The Web of Fear") and to resolve the conflict of the Great Intelligence. One wonders if he did a bit of air-punching this last Christmas day.

"Some of the nurses who after being ..."
About: Whiston Hospital Whiston Hospital Prescot L35 5DR
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
Some of the nurses who after being confronted actually made an effort to help
What could be improved
For the last 7 years my mother has continually been sent to Whiston hospital by ambulance.
My mother is an insulin independent diabetic and has keytone acidosis. This makes taking her insulin more complicated than the usual diabetic as more of a balancing act is involved.
When my mother was first diagnosed with "suspected" keytones she was moved to HDU where during a fit (which she could not control) a nurse told her family the reason she was in this state was her own doing...
Following this first day my mother has been in and out of hospital every 2 to 3 months. On several occasions she has been left in A&E without water or a drip when dehydrated to the point of exhaustion or sometimes coma.
The nurses have refused to give her insulin injections when her blood sugars are high until a doctor has seen her - sometimes an hour later where she will go into a hyper state.
On one occasion in ward C3 the nurses refused to give her insulin for an entire day because they had the wrong name above her bed and would not listen to her when she was scared and screaming for help.
Another time at ward C3 we where visiting her to find her dehydrated and starving for food. Due to uncontrollable vomiting my mother had asked for a sickness tablet so she could eat. She was told that they could only prescribe once the doctor had been round and he was currently on lunch. It was 4 hours later when I visited and complained that anything was chased up. By this time the food had already been round and she was not allowed any. Also there was a drip lying next to her bed that should have been used hours earlier. Again she was dehydrated and exhausted.
Recently she has been put into MAU. we are told that she should always go here before she is moved to a ward. This is the first time this has happened in over 6 years.
Anything else?
My mother is of sound mind but it has gotten to the point that every time she becomes ill she does not wish to go into hospital out of fear for her safety.
The general attitude of most (not all) of the nurses is to ignore my mother and continue there conversations about there nights out and love life in front of her when she is gasping for air, vomiting or even worse passed out.
I hate that my mother does not have a choice over what hospital she is omitted to and as I work 40 hours a week I find it worrying that I can not be there to hold her hand and resolve through ever issue.
I wish whiston would put more money into their staff training than their new building.

Paquera, Costa Rica (PressExposure) May 15, 2012 -- From its enviable perch on Costa Rica's scenic Gulf of Nicoya, Hotel Vista Las Islas Spa & Eco Reserve has created a uniquely luxurious, yet earthy oasis of relaxation. The elegant amenities, natural beauty, and surprisingly affordable rates make this intimate and exotic resort a preferred destination for visitors from around the world. But with their current getaway package, the charms of this Costa Rican hotel are more irresistible than ever.
Now through June 30, 2012, Hotel Vista Las Islas is offering a very special overnight stay for two in any of their standard bungalows. "Standard" is a bit of an understatement, though, considering these are private bungalows with a deck overlooking either the ocean or lush tropical greenery. Besides stunning views, the contemporary "tropical modern" style rooms feature king-size beds, oversized modern bathrooms and plenty of space to relax and unwind. The hotel's getaway package includes complimentary breakfast, free WIFI in the public areas, a snorkeling excursion off the idyllic Tortuga Island and a tour of the lush Reserva Curú wildlife reserve-all for $178, including taxes!
While some may be tempted to venture no further than the hotel's spectacular ocean-view pool, the boat trip to nearby Isla Tortuga (Turtle Island) is not to be missed. Located just 3km from the hotel, the waters surrounding this lush island are home to the best snorkeling on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Besides a rainbow of tropical fish, you can spot dolphins leaping playfully out of the water and humpback whales making their way across the ocean. The magnificent white sandy beaches of the island are lined with tall coconut palms, creating the perfect backdrop for an impromptu set of volleyball, hiking, kayaking, or just kicking back in the sun.
Not to be outdone, the nearby Curú National Wildlife Refuge offers an ideal introduction to the many fascinating species of wildlife native to Costa Rica. Despite its relatively small size, the refuge is home to an incredibly diverse array of exotic wildlife, including White-faced monkeys, Howler monkeys, over 200 species of birds and an astonishing variety of plants unique to the area. Within the refuge are five distinct ecological habitats to explore-from tropical, dry and moist forests to coastal and marine habitats. Trails here range from short, easy jaunts to long, strenuous hikes that can take several hours.
Back at the hotel, you'll probably want to take some time to relax. You're in the right place for that! Whether it's a stroll through their beautiful tropical gardens, lounging by the pristine pool with its fully equipped bar, or the soothing therapeutic massages and natural treatments of the Vista Las Islas Spa, you'll quickly develop an affinity for what Costa Rican's fondly call "Pura Vida"-which, loosely translated, means "life at its best." Afterward, savor the culinary delights of the hotel's ocean view restaurant. From Costa Rican favorites like gallo pinto and ceviche to international fare such as filet mignon in brandy sauce, all their tempting dishes are impeccably prepared, reasonably priced, and served with a friendliness and panache unique to Costa Rica.

I was just about to change the comment on this shot...

...when lo-and-behold...someone had already done it for me.
I had initially commented "Departing Terminal B"...which many of you will know is wrong as AA use terminal A at PHL and Terminal B (beyong departing 727) is used almost exclusively by US Airways.
Do any others out there have similar experience of observant others fixing up comments for them?
Just wondering...

Long Distance Touch Lamp
You won't find your fortune at the end of the rainbow - you'll find it in one of these Italian money pots!
According to 2,000 years of tradition, once you insert a coin, you're not allowed to retrieve any amount of money from it until it's full. When you can't add any more coins, a special wish for good fortune must be made before smashing it - to access your hard-earned savings. Then go spend the money on something special!
Comes with a starter "fortune coin" inside. Handmade in Italy. Each is one-of-a-kind and will vary slightly.

I'm giving this to my husband on New Year's Eve. It's good inspiration for things to come. We'll pick something to save towards, likely travel, and then we have a nice reminder of what we're working towards. I think the hardest part will be smashing the pot to get at the money!
