Hot Harry on a Horse quivered all the loins in New York this weekend at his charity polo match and managed not to f-ck up.He was however, as you'd expect, kept on a very tight leash.
Hot Harry did find time though to chat with Matt Lauer for The Today Show. The interview aired this morning and right off the top, Harry acknowledged the "accommodatingness" of the American people. He's royal! He's allowed to make up his own words!
Harry also discussed visiting Ground Zero and his time in Afghanistan while enjoying the perks of being a Prince. And when he's not using it to make racial slurs, he has a great, deep, sexy voice.

Adventures in the Outdoors
Over 600 kilometers of West Virginia's train tracks have been converted into trails for walking, hiking, biking and horseback riding. The rail trails (30 in all), with their gentle or level grades and wide rights of way, are easily accessible and among the USA's most stunning. The same rivers that carve West Virginia's gorges also provide outstanding water recreation. Its year-round fishing season includes an open season for trout. Plus, more than 32,000 kilometers of streams and more than 100 public fishing lakes mean anglers have lots of options. The Ohio and Kanawha rivers are popular for owners of pleasure boats, fishing boats and personal watercraft. Several other of the state's waterways provide ideal boating opportunities, whether you're after a gentle journey or prefer a whitewater rapids ride.
Plenty of Leisure Pastimes
West Virginia is also a wonderful place to relax. Soak away your stress in a hot mineral spring at a top-notch spa. Rather swing a club than cast a line? The Mountain State has the distinction of having the first golf club established in the USA. Today, there are more than 100 courses here. Find your needs met and more at world-class resorts like The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs. West Virginia's hospitality is legendary: After one night here, you'll understand completely, whether you're steeped in luxury at a resort or sleeping under the stars along a swift-moving stream. Wake up to a gourmet breakfast in a charming B&B or rent a cozy cabin nestled deep within our towering forests.
A Stellar Place to Play
The outdoor recreation capital of the east offers plenty for city slickers, too. Sample Appalachian cuisine flavored with the state's signature wild leek, the "ramp." Enjoy dining on international fare from acclaimed chefs, or settle in at one of the state's many established eateries for soul food or farm-to-table goodness. Explore the small-city nightlife found throughout West Virginia, informed by regional character and authentic local personalities. Catch live bluegrass and rock shows, or head down the Mountain Music Trail to get a sense of the state's musical roots. The lively arts and culture scene offers everything from major productions to small-town acts that remain true to age-old mountain traditions.

Yonex Tennis Racquets
Yonex tennis racquets came on the scene in 1957. Along with producing world-class tennis racquets Yonex now offers string, bags, apparel and shoes.
Yonex tennis racquets sport a unique blend of features such as the ISOMETRIC head shape, I.P.S., 3D Vector Shaft and O.P.S. technologies.
The ISOMETRIC head shape of Yonex tennis racquets, created in 1980, is a unique and evolutionary breakthrough technology in racquet design. In conventional racquets, the sweet spot is located where main strings and cross strings meet. The Yonex tennis racquet ISOMETRIC head shape allows us to increase the number of main and cross strings that meet in the center of the racquet to produce a sweet spot which gives a 7% more effective hitting area for you to make match winning shots.
The Integrated Power Weight System (I.P.S.) technology places weight at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions of the Yonex tennis racquet frame to give the face a greater moment of inertia.
The deeper grooves in the 3D Vector Shaft improve racquet stiffness and reduce twisting of the frame for 20% more face stability than a conventional racquet, delivering precise control at impact and greater bite for the most efficient transfer of power.
The Oval Pressed Shaft (O.P.S.) manufacturing technology builds the ideal amount of shaft flex at impact into the racquet, extending dwell time for enhanced ball spin and directional control.
E-Zone Xi
The E-Zone Xi series of Yonex tennis racquets are the first Yonex frames to offer Extra Isometric technology for an even bigger sweet spot, reduced vibration and more power! Additionally, the Quad Power System provides excellent stiffness and vibration dampening by incorporating Neo Fade material in the four corners of this frame's head. This frame even has a new handle technology called SD Grid (Shock Dampening Grid). The grid is inserted inside the shaft between the two tubes of the grip in order to absorb vibrations for a much more comfortable and powerful experience.
V Core
The V Core series of Yonex tennis racquets includes the V Core Tour 97, the Yonex tennis racquet of choice by touring pro Stanislas Wawrinka. From heavy weight power hitters to players who prefer a lightweight frame for a more effortless swing, there is a V Core style of racquet to fit every style of play.

Nerd Out: Living the Life of a Reader
In our current Common-Core-standards-frenzied-insane-accountability times, it is very easy for us to lose our way and over-emphasize the teaching of skills, skills and more skills.
Let me tell you a ridiculous story from the days of old which may help to illustrate my point.
Picture it. My classroom. First thing in the school day. Twenty lovely little heads are bent, deeply engaged in their reading. The stars had aligned, the mood was right, the moon was only so high in the sky and all my friends had found a book they loved and were deep into loving it. At the same time. Yes, it was a thing of beauty.
In walks Ms. Cocktails Before Noon. (Remember her?)
Ms. CBN: What are your students doing?
Me: Reading.
Ms. CBN: What is their Do Now task? I see that you haven't posted it. (She turns and indicates my blank white board upon which I am supposed to dutifully scribe an activity for students to complete each and every time they transition back into the classroom from another activity.)
Me: Uh, their Do Now task is to read.
Ms. CBN: What skill are they working on?
Me: I'm sure they're all working on a number of skills depending on which book they are reading.
Ms. CBN: So no higher order thinking skill in particular?
Me: Well, if they're all engaged...
Ms. CBN: (interrupting): How are they supposed to know what to do if there is no Do Now task?
Me: We always read first thing in the morning, so they don't need me to write it down, it's our routine.
Ms. CBN: And what's the point of this routine?
Me: To enjoy reading. To practice their reading skills. To...
Ms. CBN: (interrupting again) How can I hold anyone accountable when there is no clearly laid out task that I can check up on?
Me: So is the Do Now for me, for them or for you?
I might add that I began writing "Enjoy a book" on our Do Now board each morning just to appease the Administrative Powers That Be to leave me the hell alone. I was told that "enjoying a book" is not a task supported by the standards.
And I shall pause as you pick your jaws up off the floor.
I know.
I know.
So, yes, I loved the idea of reading the clothes of a reader that Donalynn Miller puts forth in chapter 3 of The Book Whisperer. And I appreciate her acknowledgement that living the life of a reader involves a variety of behaviors and attitudes that must be explicitly taught and modeled by teachers. For example, how to use a library, how to behave in a library, how to carry a book with you, how to find places to read in your life, reading is a priority, reading is a pleasure and reading is something that is cool to do in public.
One of these key behaviors is stealing time to read taking a new, more positive spin on constant classroom interruptions and organizational nightmares, such as Picture Day. (You know how I feel about Picture Day. If you don't, take a deep breath and click here, here or here.) "Replacing warm-ups with reading time and stealing as many stray moments as possible, I calculate, gains twenty to thirty minutes of reading per day." Say wha? That's amazing. I think a fun experiment would be to chart how much time your kids spend actually engaged in a book each day for a week. What did you find? Can you squeeze in more time? Steal any more moments or create/teach any new habits?
Another general comment that I think is important for us to reflect on is Ms. Miller's unfailing positive view of her students and their abilities. Granted, girlfriend is writing a book and I'm sure has blown a fuse in the moment every once in awhile like the rest of us. Regardless, it is clear that she respects, loves and maintains a positive attitude toward each of her students. She writes, "Students rise to the level of their teacher's expectations..." And again later, she states, "Building a trusting relationship with students is easier when you expect them to do the right thing instead of assuming that they are not."
I couldn't agree more. Some may write this off as utopian bullshit, but I think she's right on the money.
Interested to hear what you all thought about chapter 3...please post your comments here or on our book club FB page (whether you read the chapter or not). Also, I think we're going to pick up the pace a little. It might be a bit embarrassing and somewhat hypocritical if we only read one book a year!
Until the next chapter, stay nerdy, my friends.

I love your description at the beginning... I was holding my breath, hoping your "visitor" would not interrupt that tranquil productivity! Didn't sound like it reached the kids... Whew! That was a close one -- good save!! :D

Now that I think about it... I remember having Sustained Silent Reading time as a kid, where all we had to do was "enjoy a book." Even the teacher would read a book at her desk. Where I work now, when the kids do get to read a book of their choice, they are supposed to be working on improving their "stamina," improving their reading comprehension, seeing how fast they can read, etc. I just think that we shouldn't teach children that reading is hard work. Unless we never want them to look at a book unless someone is forcing them to do it!

"Students rise to the level of their teacher's expectations..."
I hear this so often, and it just seems so very shallow, like the beautiful shimmery colors that drift atop a puddle of oily sludge. But I find that simply EXPECTING students to do things like listen to and or read directions leads to a lot of disappointment and frustration.
Maybe the age of the students has something to do with it? I don't know. What I DO know is that I'm tired of smiling and nodding along when someone says that, pretending I agree because if I dare to speak honestly then obvz I hate children and shouldn't be a teacher.

How do you right a best seller? That was Land Rover's problem when it came to creating the second generation version of its runaway success story, the Range Rover Evoque, a car that now accounts for a third of the brand's total sales. It's a fashionable, yet capable proposition that has fundamentally changed the premium mid-sized SUV market and rivals now have to contend with an evolved version that features a more efficient range of diesel and petrol engines, including electrified and mild hybrid technology. Plus there's smarter styling, more interior space, extra off road ability and sharper handling thanks to an all-new 'PTA' platform. As a result, if you want an SUV of this kind, this is still the one to beat.Read Full Review
Range Rover's Evoque has demolished all sales records for SUVs in this class. Jonathan Crouch reports on how the latest MK2 model aims to stay in the top spot.
It's getting on for half a century since all-wheel driving was revolutionised by the Range Rover, a car now a class apart in the luxury 4x4 sector. But what would that model look like re-invented in smaller form for very different Millennial times, an age in which fashion and frugality are as important as toughness and traction? Something like this we think, the Range Rover Evoque, here rejuvenated in second generation form. As before, it sets out to meet a daunting set of challenges, aiming to provide luxurious room for four in a shape shorter than a Ford Focus. Along with handling as satisfying as a sports coupe. And economy that might allow green-minded versions to rival the returns of a citycar. All to be delivered with class-leading off road expertise. In a car right for its times. Quite a build-up. Quite a car? Let's find out.
Driving Experience
The Evoque range is primarily focused on Ingenium four-cylinder units. All automatic versions of this model, regardless of whether they're diesel or petrol, will have a 48-volt mild hybrid system equipped with an 8Ah lithium-ion battery. The petrol derivatives produce 197bhp, 247bhp and 296bhp, while the diesels develop 148bhp, 178bhp and 237bhp. Your dealer can offer you a manual gearbox available on the entry-level front-driven diesel, but the remainder of the models in the range will come with the brand's latest nine-speed automatic. A less powerful three-cylinder 1.5-litre turbo petrol powerplant features in the alternative P300e PHEV petrol model mated to an eight-speed auto gearbox. This plug-in hybrid variant's engine puts out 197bhp, its efforts further aided by a 107bhp electric motor mounted on the rear axle which delivers AWD capability and creates a total system output of 296bhp, with 540Nm of torque. The electric motor is powered by a 15kWh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack. As before, all but the most basic Evoques will come with 4WD but their transmission features a 'driveline disconnect' feature which will see the car default to a front-driven configuration unless a loss of traction dictates otherwise. An 'Active Driveline' system will be optionally available, which uses a rear-mounted double-clutch which offers torque vectoring on the rear axle to aid corner turn-in. Off-road ability is enhanced with the fitment of 'Terrain Response 2' tech from the larger range Rover that analyses the road surface and adjusts the transmission to suit. Wading depth is up 100mm to 600mm too.
Design and Build
Land Rover needed to keep the Evoque looking contemporary without diluting its inherent appeal. This time round, the range is focused on the five-door body style that the majority of buyers of the earlier MK1 model chose. The Evoque's highly desirable design is a hallmark of this luxurious mid-sized SUV. For that reason, certain key elements, like the way that the clamshell bonnet is interrupted by bulging front wheel arches, and the ultra-slim rear glass area, have been retained. From the side though, there's a much cleaner look, with flush door handles borrowed from the Velar and smoother surfacing on the doors. Of course, what's more important is the stuff you can't see: Land Rover says that 90% of the body components are new, partly because this second generation Evoque is the first Jaguar land Rover group model to be based upon the company's completely new 'Premium Transverse Architecture'. Inside, the cabin has been influenced by the brand's larger Velar, hence the introduction of a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and, on plusher versions, the option of a pair of centre-dash 10-inch 'Touch Pro Duo' screens. The new 'PTA' platform has extended the Evoque's wheelbase, so though the new model is actually a few millimetres shorter than its predecessor, it has better cabin packaging. You should notice this on the rear seat. Plus in the boot, where capacity has risen 10% to 591-litres - enough, Land Rover reckons, for a full set of golf clubs or a folded pram. With the second row folded down, there's 1,383-litres on offer.
Market and Model
Pricing isn't much different, starting from around £32,000. There are four main trim levels - standard Evoque, 'S', 'SE' and 'HSE', all with sportier 'R-Dynamic' sub-derivatives available for an extra £1,500. It all means that it's now possible to pay up to £50,000 for an Evoque. You can specify a Head-up display. Plus Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring at last make an appearance. All variants get LED auto headlights, rain-sensing wipers, 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels, ambient cabin lighting, dual-zone climate control, and a heated windscreen. Upgrade yourself from standard 'Evoque' trim to 'S'-spec and you get perforated leather, electrically adjustable front seats, an improved infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto dimming on the side mirrors and rear-view mirror, and traffic sign recognition with an adaptive speed limiter. If you can move further up the range, 'SE'-spec gives you high-beam assist headlights and 'sweeping' LED indicators, plus 20in alloys, extra power adjustment and heating for the front seats, an interactive driver display, an electrically powered tailgate and a parking pack that includes a rear traffic monitor. Finally, 'HSE' trim upgrades the leather upholstery and brings a 380W Meridian sound system, the ClearSight rear-view mirror camera, gesture control for the powered tailgate, adaptive cruise control and a different finish of 20-inch alloys.
Cost of Ownership
This MK2 Evoque's new 'Premium Transverse Architecture' platform allows Jaguar land Rover's smaller models to become more technologically sophisticated, particularly in terms of powertrain electrification. We'll see the fruit of that when the plug-in three-cylinder turbo petrol powerplant is introduced to the range. For the time being, Land Rover reckons that a front-driven 150PS diesel manual model will put out 143g/km of CO2 and that the cleanest mild-hybrid auto diesel will put out 149g/km and deliver 50.4mpg on the combined cycle. All these figures are compiled from the WLTP cycle. The P300e PHEV petrol plug-in model can offer an electric driving range of up to 41 miles, with CO2 emissions of just 32g/km and up to 201.8mpg on the combined cycle. Charging from a 7kW garage AC wallbox can be done from 0-80% in 1 hour and 24 minutes. A three-year, unlimited mileage warranty comes with this model, with further extensions available if you want them. There's also an 'InControl Protect' service that allows you to monitor vital stats on your car from your smartphone and will guide the breakdown services to your Evoque should it ever have a problem. Also included is European cover and a promise to get you on your way as soon as possible in your own car or in a loan vehicle if the required repair will take longer than four hours.
Land Rover has spent its money wisely with this second generation Evoque. This car's just become significantly more economical and capable, both on road and off. Just about the only thing that can really sink this model is for it to go horribly out of fashion. That doesn't look like happening any time soon, but just in case, Land Rover has concentrated on substance over style with this MK2 model. In doing so, the brand has future-proofed its biggest money-spinner. In summary then, the Evoque is now even easier to recommend than it was before. It's the only car in the premium compact SUV segment with a conceivable appeal to lifestyle buyers not necessarily searching for a premium mid-sized SUV - and that says a lot. If you are in the market for something of this kind, can stretch to the asking price and can afford not to place too much of a premium on practicality, then you won't be disappointed. This is, quite simply, the class of the field.Hide Full Review

Hope remains for Halos, South Siders
ANAHEIM -- It wasn't supposed to be like this for the Angels and the White Sox, an intensive search for silver linings in mid-May.
Two of the sport's heaviest disappointments through the first quarter of the season are sharing Angel Stadium through Sunday -- with the White Sox edging the Angels, 5-4, in Thursday's series opener -- and about the best they can say for themselves is that there are three-quarters left to turn it around.
Chicago is last in the American League Central -- an intriguing division with more subplots than anyone imagined -- and Los Angeles has only avoided the cellar in the AL West only because Houston joined the division this season.
As bleak as it appears from the outside, on the inside one hears expressions of optimism in both quarters.
The Angels believe the impending reinsertion of ace Jered Weaver at the top of the rotation and additions of Ryan Madson, Sean Burnett and Kevin Jepsen in the bullpen could transform the pitching staff. It certainly can't hurt. Only the Astros, at 5.79, have a higher team ERA than the Angels' 4.77.
"The biggest thing about having a guy like Weaver back in the rotation," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, "is you can create some momentum. You can go three, four times around the rotation with a chance to win every night. No doubt this team has big winning streaks in it that we're going to need.
"A guy like Weaver and the insertion of some back end bullpen helps a great deal."
The White Sox, meanwhile, have no complaints about their arms. They're waiting for their offense to wake up and smell the triple-shot latte.
"Ideally, yeah, that's what you'd like to see," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said when a media correspondent wondered if his club is capable of taking flight once the offense finds its mojo and supports the fine pitching. "But it doesn't always work out that way. When you've got good pitching, you don't hit. When you hit, you don't get the pitching."
Ventura, a wonderful player in his time, clearly is all too familiar with the maddeningly unpredictable nature of the game.
With All-Star level starters Jake Peavy (5-1, 2.96 ERA) and Chris Sale (4-2, 2.88) headlining a quality rotation and Addison Reed (12 saves) shutting out the lights, Chicago came into the four-game series tied for sixth in the Majors in team ERA at 3.48.
But Ventura's offense has been more miss than hit, scoring 12 fewer runs than the fine pitching staff has yielded.
Alex Rios, who hit his ninth home run on Thursday night, is having a solid season. But Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko, the other credentialed big boppers, have been slow to get that sluggin' feeling.
Dunn went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the opener, perhaps a hopeful indication to the skipper that the bats might be warming with the weather.
"Offensively," Ventura said, "guys are starting to pick up. It's a positive sign in the right direction. We're starting to see better at-bats, squaring balls up."
The Angels are squaring balls up, and launching some. Albert Pujols put the Angels on the board with his seventh home run of the season in the fourth inning.
With Pujols, it was only a matter of time before he began to punish some baseballs. The same holds true of Josh Hamilton, who has been getting better swings lately.
In spite of the sluggish starts of the two superstars, the Angels came into the series eighth in the Majors in home runs but only 16th, middle of the pack, in runs driven in.
What's strange about this Scioscia team is that it does not bear his familiar stamp of all-out aggression on the bases. There has been little aggression at all. Whatever happened to that Angels' fast break?
Only three teams have a worse success rate than the Angels' 57.7 percent with just 15 steals. Sitting around waiting for missiles to be lifted never has been Scioscia's style.
What's strange about the Angels' uninspired baserunning is that they have the potential to be lethal, to test the resolve and nerves of opponents.
There is not a swifter trio of players on one Major League team than the Angels' Peter Bourjos, Erick Aybar and Mike Trout. When Bourjos is ready to explode off his hamstring and reclaim the leadoff role with his .370 on-base percentage, it would be fascinating to see Scioscia align them atop the order, in front of bashers Pujols, Mark Trumbo, Hamilton and Howie Kendrick.
Turning all that speed loose would create energy on the field, in the dugout and in the stands, where the faith of the faithful has been tested.
"Energy?" Scioscia said. "We need runs."
He did not disagree when it was pointed out that energy often is what produces runs.
"If it makes sense for the guys who are going to drive the ball," Scioscia said, "it's a lineup you'd consider. The injection of team speed is something we need to have reappear."
Trout has adapted nicely moving from No. 1 to No. 2 in the order, and there's every reason to believe he'd be just fine moving down one more spot. He is the dream No. 3 hitter, with a power-speed combination matched by few, if any, contemporaries.
It might be a slight mental adjustment for Pujols to hit cleanup. But if it's best for the team, of course he'd be happy to do it.

Police say a 70-year-old nurse at Brooklyn's Brookdale Hospital was beaten to the point of unconsciousness Friday when she tried to prepare a patient for discharge.
According to officials, hospital staff saw the naked 40-year-old suspect beating the nurse at around 4:30 p.m. The nurse suffered fractures to the face, hemorrhaging and chest contusions as a result of the beating, police said.
Hospital staff told investigators the man became angry when the nurse went into his room to try to prepare him to be discharged.
"He hit her with an IV pole," said a nurse who saw the vicious beating but did not want her name used. "He stomped on her, there was so much blood."
The beating stopped when other nurses intervened and then the suspect went into a bathroom, where hospital security kept him until police arrived.
The patient was arrested and charged with attempted murder and assault.

Thats what she said!
There are a lot of bloggers out there that post a weekly recap of their weekend. It usually involves going to a lot of cool places with their friends. I am not one of them. Mostly because you know I like to make shit up.
That and I don't really go out partying it up on the town. We do a lot of stuff. We like to celebrate the things to do in Cleveland and there are a ton of things. There are slow days for us and then there are times where we go to a play, dinner, a concert and a movie in one day. If need be we just cram it all in.
That's what she said.
This weekend was one of those times. Friday there was what the kids are calling these days a "tweetup". It was called the east-side tweetup and was held at the Willoughby Brewing Company. We were invited and you know went and stuff.
Oh was that not good enough? See I'm bad at this. The Three Shillelaghs headed over to Willoughby Brewing Company. Hilarity sort of ensued. I was still sort of limping. The pain in my heel had mostly subsided by then. We parked and then started walking toward the restaurant. We didn't even get across the street when the wifey's (kat clearly) flip flop broke. The back part just fell right off. Just as she walked it fell off and as she marveled about it and tried to walk on the rest of the shoe died. We walked on discovered it was further than we thought went back and got the car. Drove to it found there was absolutely nowhere to park and ended up parking right by where we originally did. She had to basically walk with the shoe in her hand the whole way and then fake like it was on to get inside.
The night was cool and met some new peeps which always a good thing. I wasn't that impressed with the menu (though did not have anything) and the apps were expensive. The jack and ginger was tall and that good. The waitress was pretty awesome even if she got sort of busy and there were a few times I sat there like this:
'more jack daniels please"
But you know more desperate sounding. All in all a good time was had. After we left we stopped and got us some Chick-fil-A. Yum.
Saturday was such a full day that the wifey made an itinerary. I never actually saw it but I've heard it did exsist. The Three Shillelaghs packed the car and headed on down to Akron for the:
National Hamburger Festival
It was so hot.
(how hot was it)
It was so hot that on the way there a minivan caught on fire. Okay so that probably isn't true. A minivan was on fire on the opposite way as we drove to Akron though. It was hot as all get out while at the festival that consisted of a bunch of places to get hamburgers for a 2 block radius. I was sort of disappointed by it. I mean it was cool and all but it lacked stuff. The only merch were shirts and Jughead comic books. A vast majority of the events seemed to be taking place at night and we'd have to be gone way before then to keep our schedule. I was going to attempt to be in the bobbing for burgers contest but oh well.
There was this:
That's right there was a Barney Fife look alike walking around the festival. How awesome is that? Also as we approached he yelled out:
"I'm Barney Fife bitches! What mofo wanna take a picture with me?"
Ok not really but I almost asked him if he would. Later he threatened to arrest us if we tried to sneak back in. The burgers were tasty and the one we got was from Steel Trolley Diner. Their banner said get your burger branded. I ordered the Marley Burger: A ½ pound burger topped with Jamaican jerk sauce and Orange chipotle mayo. It was tasty and they indeed did "brand" your burger. Unfortunate (or hilarious) they have std as their initials.
Yes my burger said STD on it and I still ate it.
We left there and went home to nap for a little bit. Then we hit up the Cleveland Cinematheque for Animal Crackers. After some Marx Brothers brilliance we ate some Aladdin's and then hit up Parnell's Pub for some x-mas in July. It was for Thirsty Dog's 12 dogs of Christmas Ale. Tasty! Then I had one tall Jack and Ginger. From there we headed over to the Capitol Theatre to see the late shift showing of Memento. It had been a while since I'd seen it and I really looked forward to it. On the way there the wife tried to destroy the happiness that is the Marx Bros. by saying they were probably very unhappy. This discussion went up until the movie started and included several other people getting involved. Then I won tickets to see the late shift showing of Pulp Fiction.
Sunday was a more relaxed. The wifey headed over to her mom's house to do laundry and thesis work. I stayed home wrote some and watched soccer for a bit. Then I watched George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead. It was decent. I was preparing for Monday's viewing of Survival of the Dead. Later that night we went to a new Indian Restaurant called Indian Flame. It was delish. A review with pictures will be written soon as we go a second time.
Monday we went to breakfast and then picked up Lindsay. We headed over to the zoo to enjoy free day. It was pretty sweet even if it was packed and my heel was hurting again.
The wife and I on the Australian adventure train:
It was fun but got weird when the driver said:
'Oh my mate lookit the kangaroo ova there. Ain't she a beaut? Why I'd like to stick me little dingaroo in her pouch. Boomerang bitches"
All that but you know with an Australian accent or you know probably not at all.
We encountered a lady wearing leggings that looked like jeans as jeans. It was not pretty and I wasn't fast enough to snap a picture. Later on the wife and Lindsay marveled at the Rhino's dong.
After that we went home for some resting and lunch. I almost set the apartment on fire. I forgot the package my Sammy was in had metal like shit inside and yeah it started to burn in the microwave. After a nap that did nothing for us we headed out to see Survival of the Dead which was pretty good.
Damn I'm tired.

Movie Producer DeVon Franklin: Hollywood Paying Attention to Faith-Based Audience
Movie Producer DeVon Franklin: Hollywood Paying Attention to Faith-Based Audience
STUDIO CITY, Calif. – The Hollywood entertainment industry has become increasingly aware of the growing market for faith-based films and entertainment, said movie producer DeVon Franklin at the Biola Media Conference at CBS Studios on Saturday.
Franklin, most recently noted for his role as producer of Whitney Houston's last movie, "Sparkle," was given the Biola Media Award at the 17th annual event based on his recent career success. Beginning as an intern 15 years ago, he currently serves as the Vice President of Production for Columbia Pictures, a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
"I've seen that there has been a lot more acceptance of faith," said Franklin during a press conference after the event. "There's been more openness to it in terms of understanding the need to serve an underserved audience out there, specifically the faith-based audience.
"Hollywood has been more willing to develop film projects to tap into that market," he told reporters.
Franklin, who authored the book Produced by Faith – Enjoy Real Success Without Losing Your True Self, said he does not have a cynical point of view about how the Hollywood culture views faith.
"I don't have the experience of expressing what I believe and talking about Jesus and then being labeled a pariah. Sometimes when we live in faith we can be perceived as judgmental," he explained. "Our call as Christians is to be accepting and to love and not to judge. So for me it's about being honest about my faith, but also being loving enough to accept others' points of view the same way that I want them to accept mine."
During his keynote address to an audience of about 600 entertainment media professionals and students, Franklin said he was asked to speak about how stories that "touch the world" can be created.
"I like to think about your life and my life as a movie. So, in order to touch people's lives you have to analyze your own story. You are the main character in your movie," he said. "I've been a Christian my whole life, but people told me that there is no way that you can go into entertainment and still be a Christian or hold onto your faith.
"The moment you tell someone you want to make films or you want to do television or be a part of media, the first thing they say is 'that's the devil's playground' [or] 'that's Sodom and Gomorrah.'"
He said it is important to not become discouraged in spite of the naysayers.
"You have to be very protective of who you share your dream with and how because somebody who you think has your back will tell you, 'well that's never possible.' But I'm here to tell you, let God be the only person to tell you what is and isn't possible in your life," he encouraged.
When asked by The Christian Post what is most challenging in Hollywood, considering many Christians are weary of the entertainment culture present today, Franklin said he was not bothered by outside pressures.
"At the end of the day, I have to view Hollywood not as the place I want to get into [as a final destination]. I have to put the goal as God's will. God is in control of this so I am not going to get frustrated about any industry. If you have the path clear, then you have the path clear," he insisted.
"The thing that I struggle most with is my own ambition. When you are pursuing a dream sometimes your ambition gets the best of you. So, I need to consistently remember that the things that God wants in my life may take more time than I want. So I have to be patient. There are times when my ambition will get me out of my purpose and I have to go, wait a minute, I got to relax, and I have to wait. That is when I have to draw a line and say, 'Am I going to do it my way or God's way?'
"At times, when I have done it my way, things have not worked out so well. I try to check my ambition. Not lose it because my ambition and drive is who I am, but the management of it I have to devote to Him so that I am not getting ahead of myself and doing things that will actually hurt me," he added.
Franklin helped to oversee such hits as "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "Hancock," both of which starred Will Smith and saw enormous worldwide success. He also worked on "21," starring Kevin Spacey, which earned $150 million worldwide, and several other major films including "Pink Panther," and "The Ugly Truth" with Katherine Heigl. He earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a minor in Cinema-Television from the University of Southern California.
Honorees of Biola's award can range from cinema to new media, highlighting directors, producers and innovators who have made a significant impact on culture and their creative community through their Christ-like character and dedication to craft, according to a posting on the university's Website. Last year's recipient was CBS Studio Center President Michael Klausman.

About 200 people attended an open house focused on recycled PET and high density polyethylene for packaging at Starlinger viscotec in St. Martin, Austria, Sept. 12-13.
Starlinger highlighted machinery at its new 215,000-square-foot plant and technical center.
The open house marked the world premier of the vicsoSheet, which was producing sheet from 100 percent recycled PET for food contact, after the material had been dried in the deCON module. After the decontamination step, the warm and dry flakes run through a color sorter, where flakes with changed color, such as multilayer or PVC, can easily be sorted out, before the flakes go into the gravimetric feeding system of the sheet line.
Starlinger technicians analyzed the sheet in the laboratory, using gas chromatography according to the Fraunhofer method.
On the second day of the event, employees increased the intrinsic viscosity of virgin pellets by using the vicsoStar reactor. The pellets were fed directly into the sheet line.
Speakers at the event included Santiago Garcia-Gonzalez, a chemical engineer at the National University of Mexico; Allan Griff, an independent chemical engineer; Edward Kosior, managing director of Nextek Ltd.; Sion Stanfield, a veteran of the retail sector.

Lady Monarch Rowers Competing Locally In Head Of The Lafayette
By ODU Athletics
Oct. 24, 2008
Norfolk, Va. - After a solid debut last weekend in Boston, the Old Dominion University women's rowing team will participate in its first local regatta this Sunday when the Lady Monarchs compete in the annual Head of the Lafayette at the Robertson Rowing Center at Lakewood Park in Norfolk.
The regatta begins at 9 a.m. with the final race scheduled to launch at Noon. ODU will have two boats in the 9:50 a.m. Women's 4+ and one boat in the 11 a.m. Women's 8. One of the boats in the Women's 4+ is comprised of Jenna Marconko (Coxswain), Liz Hess (Stroke), Callie Roadcap (2), Marie Gately (3) and Nicole Meyer (Bow), a group of Lady Monarch freshmen who have shown early promise since the start of fall practice. ODU's F8 entry features a boat mixed with experienced freshmen and walk-ons.
With the exception of three rowers who helped guide ODU to a 30th place finish at the Head of the Charles, Sunday will be the first race for many of the Lady Monarchs. Head coach Heather Weisel understands that with this being the team's second race as a varsity program, it's important to be patient as the program develops.
"Our team expectations are to row to our current potential in all of the events we've entered," says Weisel. "I won't be surprised if we find ourselves a bit over stroked because we've focused so hard this fall on developing proper technique. It's been very important to us to teach and reinforce the need to row well from the start and not to force things to happen too quickly. We're establishing our identity for the future now, but we're determined not to force it. This is our home course so that always helps a bit. We're just going to take it one stroke at a time."

What is an automatic watch winder?
A watch winder is a device with an electrical motor which will automatically wind your watch when you are not wearing it. Automatic watches have a limited power reserve, so if you stop wearing them and winding them up, they will run down in two or three days. The reserve depends on the watch brand and on movement (caliber) used.
When your timepiece stops, you must reset time and wind up your watch. If it has additional functions (like date, moon-phase display, perpetual calendar), resetting them may take a lot of time and require certain skills. With an automatic watch winder, you can keep your timepiece wound and ready to go!
Please note: If your watch doesn't wind itself from wrist motion, it cannot be wound by an automatic watch winder. Watch winders are not compatible with Seiko Kinetic Watches because their watch mechanism is different from the traditional one.
The watches shown in the pictures are not included.
Please note: Watch winding mode (winding direction and TPD setting) depends on your watch model. Please, check your owner's manual or contact your watch brand's customer service for detailed information.
You can also refer to our watch winding parameters table.
LCD Display with Touch Control
Watch Winder Programming
Each rotor can be programmed independently.
1. Press [ROTOR SELECTION] several times to select the setting target. (By default, the left and top rotor is selected with the flashing number "1" on the display. To select another rotor, press [ROTOR SELECTION] again and the number "2" will start flashing, etc.)
2. Having selected the rotor to program, select the number of Turns-Per-Day (TPD) by pressing the [TURNS-PER-DAY SELECTION] button.
3. Select the winding direction for your watch by pressing the [WINDING DIRECTION] button. There are three settings available: clockwise, counterclockwise and the bi-directional (mixed) mode. In mixed mode, the rotor rotates clockwise and counterclockwise alternately.
4. Press [START/STOP]. The display will show (ON) inscription near the selected rotor number and the rotor will start moving.
Motor-Stop Option
To prevent a winding mechanism breakdown, it is recommended to put a watch into a rotor or take it out only when
the rotor is stopped. If the Motor-Stop option is enabled, all the rotors will stop once you open the door.
To enable this option, flip the small black switch on the back panel to the ON position.
The rotors will not rotate if the Motor-Stop option is enabled and the door is open. Please keep the door of the watch winder closed for its proper operation.
Please note: Some watch winders do not have this option.
New Watch Mode
This mode is intended for winding a new watch or the watch which has stopped. To activate this mode, please proceed as following:
1. Choose the rotor with the new watch mounted by pressing the [ROTOR SELECTION] button.
2. Set the required TPD and rotation direction by pressing [TURNS-PER-DAY SELECTION] and [WINDING DIRECTION]. Then press [START/STOP] to activate the program (the display must show (ON) inscription for the selected rotor).
3. Press the [NEW] button.
After you press [NEW], the Turns-Per-Day display will show [ – – – – ] and the [NEW] button backlight will turn on. The selected rotor will rotate the watch clockwise for 30 minutes, counterclockwise for another 30 minutes, then it will rest for 15 minutes. This cycle will repeat 6 times and then the rotor will return to the programmed winding mode.
Interior Light
Press [LIGHT ON/OFF] to turn the interior lights ON or OFF. In winders with 12 or 16 rotors, the light is controlled
by the left control panel only. The light can also be controlled by the red switch on the rear panel.
Please note: Some watch winders do not have this option.
Watch Holders
There are three ways to put a watch on the watch pillow depending on your wrist size:
The pillows are made of soft polyurethane and will not scratch your watch.
