JOPLIN, Mo. —
Gov. Jay Nixon at a news conference Thursday afternoon announced state funding of up to $1.5 million for the Joplin School District to offset a projected drop in property tax revenue as a result of the damage wreaked by the May 22 tornado.
The announcement was prompted by preliminary assessed valuation figures given to the school district by the Jasper County and Newton County assessors.
District officials have estimated a revenue shortfall of $750,000 to $1.5 million because of the tornado, which destroyed or damaged thousands of homes and businesses in Joplin and Duquesne.
Without the state funding, state and local officials said, the district would have had to contemplate raising the local operating and debt-service levies to meet financial needs for fiscal year 2012. The current total levy is $3.31 per $100 of assessed valuation. That levy rate, for purposes of example, costs the owner of a home with a $100,000 market value almost $630 per year in school taxes.
"Raising taxes on Joplin residents and businesses at this critical time would hurt the recovery and simply isn't an option," Nixon said.
Nearly 60 percent of the district's revenue comes from property taxes, according to Superintendent C.J. Huff.
"In addition to the devastating impact the storm had on families and businesses, it also dealt a terrible blow to the property tax base of this community," Nixon said. "Property taxes fund critical services, like roads, health care and local schools. The impact of this damage to the property tax base this year is very, very real. In residential property taxes in Jasper County alone, the loss will be nearly $790,000."
The governor said the full extent of the loss from commercial property taxes and from taxes in Newton County is still unknown. He said money for future fiscal years would be decided later since the district will need time for planning and budgeting for permanent buildings.
Huff said officials hope that the district will be able to rebuild and be operating in permanent school buildings within three years.
Nixon reserved $150 million in the budget for the current fiscal year to aid in disaster recovery in Missouri.
After the news conference, the governor toured Joplin High School's 11th- and 12th-grade center in the former Shopko store at Northpark Mall.
THE JOPLIN SCHOOL DISTRICT is anticipating that 92 percent of its 7,747 students will return for the term that begins Wednesday, according to Superintendent C.J. Huff.

John Vanbiesbrouck's verbal gaffe
Longtime NHL goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck won almost every honour possible during his career between the pipes. After retiring, he became head coach, general manager and part-owner of the OHL's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, where he ran into trouble for using a racial slur to describe a black player, defenseman Trevor Daley. The Toronto-born Daley briefly left the team while Vanbiesbrouck apologized and resigned his posts, but held on to his ownership stake.
Daley later rejoined the Greyhounds, and now plays for the Dallas Stars.

IMF chief issues stark warning on economic crisis
Submitted by Jefferson2 on Tue, 12/16/2008 - 19:47IMF chief issues stark warning on economic crisis
The head of the International Monetary Fund urged governments to step up action to stem the global economic crisis or risk delaying a recovery and sparking violent unrest on the streets.
Using a speech last night in Madrid to issue his stark warning, Dominique Strauss-Kahn argued that government efforts to tackle the economic downturn so far have been uncertain and largely insufficient, which could lead to severe consequences. He singled out the eurozone nations as he attacked the inadequate global response.
His hard-hitting coments came as fears of a prolonged slumped intensified after China showed signs that its economy could be in more trouble than initially expected next year. Factory output in the rapidly growing economy registered the weakest growth in almost a decade last month.
The IMF's managing director said such news signalled that a world recovery may not take place until late next year or into 2010 unless swift action is taken.
"A lot remains to be done, and if this work is not done it will be difficult to avoid a long-lasting crisis that everyone wants to avoid," he said.
Governments in leading economies have been called upon by the IMF to commit a combined 2% of global GDP, equivalent to £1.075bn, to try combat the dangers of a global recession. But the IMF chief blamed governments, saying they were unwilling or unable to use more public funds to jump-start economic activity.
"If we are not able to do that, then social unrest may happen in many countries - including advanced economies," Strauss-Kahn said.
He added that violent protests could break out in countries worldwide if the financial system was not restructured to benefit everyone rather than a small elite.
Revealing his concerns of a deeper economic slowdown, he said that the IMF would probably cut world growth next year from its current forecast of 2.2%. He also predicted that China's once red-hot economy will rapidly run out of steam.
"We started with China at 11% growth ... China will probably grow at 5 or 6% [next year]," he said. "The possibility of a global recession is real. We realise something must be done."
Strauss-Kahn's comments were in sharp contrast to Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank, who yesterday told European leaders they should stick to EU's controversial Stability and Growth Pact, which limits government borrowing and total debt. But Strauss-Kahn said that existing rules should be scrapped to allow governments to deliver essential economic stimulus packages.
"We are facing an unprecedented decline in output and we have evidence of substantial uncertainty limiting the effectiveness of some fiscal policy measures," he said, "What was decided by Brussels ... 1.5% of GDP in the form of stimulus, is a bit below what we need."
His views reflect the continued clashes between European governments on how they should react to the crisis.
Germany has been uncertain about injecting large amounts of public money into economies to encourage growth and resisted pressures to join in with a more coordinated EU effort.
With the IMF's track record whatever they say DO THE OPPOSITE!
"The use of 'conspiracy theory' as a derogatory -- as an epithet almost -- is something the propagandists have perfected over the decades, and it's a useful tool for eliminating articulate dissent and other points of view, and information that might be in
"The use of 'Conspiracy Theorist' or 'Truther' as a derogatory -- as an epithet almost -- is something the propagandists have perfected over the decades, and it's a useful tool for eliminating articulate dissent."

I for one agree with Wes McAdams....a bar is not the place to have church.
The group will be meeting in a BAR...not a meeting room in a restaurant with a bar, but a bar. What about those people with children? How many of you would take a young child to a bar? Do you think that AISD or WISD would have a meeting in a bar, just because that is where you can find some parents? I think not.
Southern Hills is the one who made their intentions public in the ARN, so why should Wes McAdams be criticized for making his views public...
Wes McAdams is a good preacher and I challenge each and everyone of you who have posted on here to go hear him on Sunday...unless you are too chicken to stand up for what you have just said and you just want to stand behind a username....
See ya Sunday!!
Why should McCadams be criticized? I am glad you asked. Here are a couple of reasons that come to mind:
1. His letter reinforces the commonly held belief that members of the Churches of Christ are among the most onery, contentious folks on the face of the earth. Not only do we not play well with Baptists and Methodists, we spend a lot of time fussin and feudin with each other. No wonder the Church of Christ is shriveling on the vine as membership declines.
2. His public letter is just plain contrary to what the Bible teaches. That is to handle disputes in private, one to one, and in a spirit of humility. See Matt. 18, for example.
I am a member of the Church of Christ , but when I read letters like this I am loathe to admit it.

Hey, I'm looking for earphones for under under $25. I'm gonna be using these for running outside, so I'm looking for decent sound isolation or noise reduction (whichever works better for outdoors). I'm not looking for anything special in the sound quality margin, but I prefer clear sound with some decent bass. Thanks.

For $20, try to find an FYE near you. They sell Senn CX150s for $70 online but $20 in some stores. Best buy I've found in IEMs yet, worlds above anything else in the price range.

Soundmagic E10/E30. You can buy them from mp4nation.net , I would also suggest SHE3580, they are ideal for running as they are really tiny and you won't notice them in your ear & sound really good too.

Philips SHE3580?
If you're using them on a phone I could suggest the mic'd version the SHH3580 too. It's actually better to my ears but a bit fiddly with some standard stereo-only sockets.

MANILA: The Philippine Navy on Friday denied allegations that its forces had shot dead a crewman of a Taiwan fishing vessel, saying none of its ships were in the area at the time of the apparent incident.
"The Philippine Navy denies any involvement in... an incident where a Taiwanese fisherman was reportedly shot and the wound led to his death," the statement said.
The naval commander in the area said his ships were in port or very close to the Philippine coast at the time, the statement added.
A spokesman for the Philippine coast guard, which is a separate service from the Philippine Navy, could not be contacted for comment.
Asked about the report, Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said: "We cannot confirm it. We will check that".
Taiwan's foreign ministry said that a Taiwanese fishing vessel carrying three Taiwanese and one Indonesian crewman was fired upon early Thursday by a "Philippine government boat".
The incident, some 164 nautical miles off the southernmost tip of Taiwan, left one of the Taiwan crewmen dead.
The ministry did not specify what type of government boat allegedly fired upon the vessel, while Taiwan's coast guard said it was trying to verify reports that it was a Philippine Navy vessel.
The Philippines and Taiwan, along with Brunei, China and Malaysia, have conflicting claims to parts of the South China Sea.
China and Taiwan have been ruled separately since the end of a civil war in 1949, although Beijing claims the island. The Philippines has no diplomatic ties with Taiwan but maintains economic and cultural links. -- AFP

More About Gods and Beasts by Denise MinaOverviewIt's the week before Christmas when a lone robber bursts into a busy Glasgow post office carrying an AK-47. An elderly man suddenly hands his young grandson to a stranger and wordlessly helps the gunman fill bags with cash, then carries them to the door. He opens the door and bows his head; the robber fires off the AK-47, tearing the grandfather in two.
DS Alex Morrow arrives on the scene and finds that the alarm system had been disabled before the robbery. Yet upon investigation, none of the employees can be linked to the gunman. And the grandfather-a life-long campaigner for social justice-is above reproach. As Morrow searches for the killer, she discovers a hidden, sinister political network. Soon it is chillingly clear: no corner of the city is safe, and her involvement will go deeper than she could ever have imagined.

At the start of Scottish author Mina's excellent third crime novel featuring Det. Sgt. Alex Morrow (after 2011's The End of the Wasp Season), a lone gunman enters a Glasgow post office, where he orders the patrons to lie on the floor. An elderly gentleman hands his young grandson to a stranger and gets up to assist the robber by filling bags with cash. The gunman then cuts the old man down with a hail of bullets from his AK-47 pistol. Meanwhile, looming budget cuts and police layoffs lure two of Morrow's subordinates into stealing a pile of dirty drug money. Finally, a former labor hero turned politician is caught up in a sex scandal with a 17-year-old female staffer. While Mina keeps Alex's life outside of work mostly on the back burner, she ups the stakes by taking us into the dark, beating heart of modern Glasgow, where the real deals are struck and the spoils divided. (Feb.)

Rivera blows 3rd save in row, Gardner saves Yanks
Rivera blows 3rd save in row, Gardner saves Yanks
NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera stood on the mound, looking down at his cleats. Somehow, he'd let yet another lead slip away.
Never before had baseball's all-time saves leader blown three straight chances.
Silenced by a pair of Detroit home runs, the fans at Yankee Stadium soon perked up. Brett Gardner homered with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the New York Yankees over the Tigers 5-4 Sunday for their first series win in more than a month.

A bill that would permit slot machines at racetracks in Illinois passed out of executive committee in the Illinois House of Representatives on Wednesday and could come to a vote in the full House as soon as Friday. Senate Bill 737 already has been passed by the state senate but must be returned to that body for approval of amendments, if it passes the House. Even then, the bill still would have to be signed by Gov. Pat Quinn, who has expressed skepticism about the proposed law.
The bill calls for a large expansion of gaming in the state and goes far beyond merely bringing slots to tracks. Legislators – operating in a lame-duck session before a new legislature is sworn later this month – are seeking means to close massive gaps in the state budget, and gaming expansion would soon bring millions of dollars of revenue into state coffers. Illinois casinos, however, have seen recent declines in business, and the state's 10th casino – in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont – is expected to open sometime in 2011, further saturating the local gaming market.
Illinois tracks have lobbied in favor of slot machines for years but have annually been rebuffed by the legislature.

After racing a bit greenly in her sprint debut at Saratoga, U. S. S. O'BRIEN returned closing day at Belmont to run a close third behind Penwith and Got Lucky, who ran big to finish in the money in last week's Demoiselle; a reprise of that performance looks sufficient against several turf-to-dirt types. Among those is MOBILIZE, whose trainer sent out maiden winner Secret Bid ($8.60) last week off the same surface switch; dam won 10 of 23 on dirt, so she seems eligible to better her debut at five furlongs in July. TIZ SO SWEET was part of three-way battle up front in Nov.

Olomouc (local Haná dialect "Olomóc" or "Holomóc", German "Olmütz", Polish "Ołomuniec", Latin "Eburum" or "Olomucium") is a city in Moravia, in the east of the Czech Republic. The city is located on the Morava river and is the ecclesiastical metropolis of Moravia. Architecture of Olomouc: Olomouc contains several large squares, the chief of which is adorned with Holy Trinity Column, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The column is 115 ft. high and was built in 1716–1754. The most prominent church is the Saint Wenceslas cathedral. In the end of the 19th century it was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style, but it kept many parts from the original church, which had also been rebuilt many times (Romanesque crypt, Gothic cloister, Baroque chapels). The highest of its three spires is 328 ft. The church neighbours with the Romanesque Bishop's Palace (often incorrectly called the Přemyslid Palace), a 12th century Romanesque building.

Reek Sunday
Reek Sunday (Irish: Domhnach na Cruaiche) or Garland Sunday is an annual day of pilgrimage in Ireland. On the last Sunday in July, pilgrims climb Ireland's "holiest mountain", Croagh Patrick (764 metres) in County Mayo, some in their bare feet. The pilgrimage has been held yearly for about 1,500 years. It is held in honour of Saint Patrick who, according to tradition, spent 40 days fasting on the mountain in the year 441. In reality, the modern pilgrimage is a long-Christianised variation of a ritual that dates back to pre-Christian, pagan Celtic Ireland, celebrating the festival of Lughnasadh.[1][2]
Between 15,000 and 30,000 pilgrims participate, compared to an annual climbing total of more than 100,000. The Archbishop of Tuam leads the climb each year. Up to 300 personnel from eleven mountain rescue teams from across Ireland, including the local Mayo Mountain Rescue Team, for whom it is the busiest day of the year, as well as the Order of Malta, Civil Defence Ireland and members of An Garda Síochána are involved in the climb. Injuries ranging from cuts and broken bones to hypothermia and cardiac arrest occur each year.[3][4] The climb takes two hours, on average, and one and a half hours to descend.[5]
Annual climbs[edit]
In 1999, 25,000 pilgrims took part in the climb in ideal conditions. Archbishop Michael Neary of Tuam spoke on the mountain of the improving quality of life which Ireland was experiencing in the late 1990s.[6]
Michael Neary spoke of the fear created by banking and commerce as well as by the Church and state at a meeting with pilgrims in Westport prior to the 2002 climb. Pilgrims came from Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Rain created difficult climbing conditions on the day.[7]
Around 20,000 people took part in 2006 during particularly bad weather of wind and rain. Archbishops Seán Brady and Michael Neary said Mass on top, with Neary appealing for kindness and goodwill to be shown to immigrant families. Twenty-three people were airlifted or stretchered off the mountain with illnesses and injuries; two of these were hospitalised. The first analytic survey was conducted when 11,000 pilgrims were interviewed. Two-thirds of them were men, one third were women, five percent came from outside Ireland, and two percent climbed in their bare feet.[8][9]
Over 30,000 pilgrims climbed Croagh Patrick on Reek Sunday in 2007. There were some minor foot injuries, whilst one man had a suspected cardiac arrest on the mountain.[8]
Over 25,000 pilgrims took part in 2008. The Mass on the summit, celebrated by Michael Neary, was broadcast live worldwide for the first time ever by RTÉ. He spoke of consumer values that he felt were seducing society. Over 20 priests were involved in the event. Injuries were very few.[10]
Only 18,000 pilgrims climbed the mountain in 2009. Weather conditions were particularly bad with many choosing to climb the mountain the previous day. Between five and six children contracted hypothermia. Some participants sustained minor cuts, others complained of coronary problems, whilst one woman was airlifted off the mountain after breaking her ankle the day before, and a man was airlifted to hospital after having a suspected cardiac arrest on the mountain. Prior to the climb, Mayo Mountain Rescue Team advised pilgrims to carry some sort of footwear but not flip-flops, sandals, stiletto heels or wellingtons; it was the first time they had ever issued such advice. Pilgrims were also told to use a stick for walking, wear multiple layers of clothing and to scale the mountain at a slow pace. Archbishop Michael Neary said before the 2009 climb that people were "searching desperately" for hope in the "menacing desert" of the recession. In his homily on the mountain, Neary talked of the effects the recession had on family life.[3][4][11]
The climb on 28 July 2013 took place in sunny weather and was undertaken by between 15,000 and 20,000 people. Ash and blackthorn sticks were for sale at €3 each, or for rent at €1.50. Drought conditions during July made it unusually dry underfoot on the day of the climb. Nearly 300 volunteers with Mayo Mountain Rescue, the Irish Cave Rescue Organisation, the Order of Malta, Civil Defence Ireland, and an Air Corps helicopter were in attendance and on standby. There were 17 reported injuries including two which required airlifts. A woman suffered a head injury and a 67-year-old tourist had a suspected cardiac arrest.[12]

Nobody likes to vacuum. But have you ever thought about how many miles you've vacuumed in your life?
Consumer Reports has!
Its testers vacuumed 16 miles of carpets and floors to assess 73 vacuums, costing from $80 to more than $1,000.
The most important test — how well a vacuum cleans carpets. Consumer Reports puts a hard-to-clean mix of sand and powder onto a carpet. Then testers use a weighted roller to press the dirt in to mimic what happens when you walk on it.
Some vacuums make big claims, such as the Eureka SuctionSeal Pet, which says it beats the Dyson DC41 on the carpets at half the price. The Eureka does only cost $160 compared with the $600 Dyson. But in Consumer Reports' tests, both turned out to be mediocre at cleaning carpets, and neither made the recommended list.
Testers also measure how much force you need to push and pull a vacuum. And Consumer Reports evaluates how difficult the models are to carry and empty.
For bagged uprights, Consumer Reports says consider the Kenmore Progressive 31069, a Best Buy at $170. And for a bagless upright, try the Eureka AirSpeed AS1000A, costing $120, also a Best Buy.
Consumer Reports says canister vacuums are easier to use on stairs and for cleaning under furniture, and named the $300 Kenmore Progressive canister 21614 a Best Buy. Kenmore vacuums are sold at Sears.

ONE SHOT Lee Child Read by Dick Hill Six hours after a sniper killed five passersby coming out of an office building in the Indiana heartland, the police had James Barr in custody. It was a slam dunk, an open-and-shut case. But Jack Reacher doesn't think so. It was too neat. Reacher has reasons for wanting to see Barr in prison or worse, so why does Barr ask for Reacher's help? Before Reacher can get any answers, Barr is beaten and left in a coma. Dick Hill's reading is tight and crisp, giving characters fully fleshed personalities and believable accents. As the case evolves into a full-fledged conspiracy, Hill puts tension into his reading to make this audiobook the ultimate disc-turner. S.E.S.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Charges have been filed against a middle school teacher who allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old boy.
We first told you on Wednesday night about the investigation into the alleged relationship between language arts teacher Kathryn Camille Murray and a teenage student. Police filed charges after talking with the teen's younger brother.
Spring Branch ISD police say Murray, 28, was arrested Thursday afternoon. According to court documents the Memorial Middle School eighth grade teacher had sex with a 15-year-old boy. She been charged with sexual assault of a child.
The allegation is that Murray went to the student's home one night around midnight earlier this month while his parents were out. Court records indicate the 15-year-old's younger brother saw the teen on his bed, in his bedroom with a tan bra on the floor. He also apparently heard a woman's voice.
The 15-year-old later reportedly admitted to his mother that he had sex with Murray while in his bedroom. Investigators write additionally that the teen later told those interviewing him at the Children's Assessment Center that he was in love with Murray and had kissed her while at school.
The school district calls this a complete breach of trust that students and their parents place in educators. Spring Branch ISD has fired Murray. They tell us she had taught three years at the middle school.

Marquis Teague to the D-League [though on hold] makes little sense
Bulls aim to become undisputed preseason championships
It will likely have the fan fare of the BCS and a media vote, but clearly the only undefeated team wins the title right? I expect the Bulls will hand out preseason championship belts simultaneously while the Heat get their championship rings from last season, or maybe we'll save the honor for the first home game in New York...
The Bulls are underdogs, who knew?
I'm not sure how many GMs actually respond to the media survey, and how many teams simply have an intern do it. Nor am I too certain that those who respond do so with a whole lot of honesty...
Bulls focused on defensive improvement, but offense will decide their fate
When asked if the Bulls can keep improving, Derrick Rose replied in the affirmative, and you can tell who his coach is by the reply...
Will Luol Deng and Jimmy Butler knock down the three?
The Bulls might just be on the cusp of greatness, they'll need a few things for that to happen, but they aren't unreasonable things. They'll need Derrick Rose to prove he's still a top five player in the NBA, they'll need overall health of the roster, and they'll need Jimmy Butler and Luol Deng to knock down open shots...
Planned rest two days after Rose planned to not miss a practice
There's plenty of reason to hope this season, Derrick Rose carries himself with the attitude of a Michael Jordan who was just eliminated from the playoffs in 1995 with something to prove coming back. That said, there's just as much reason for fear, it's possible Rose may never come back from this injury and become the same caliber of player he was...
Bulls season is officially here, thoughts from media day
The Chicago Bulls kick off every season with media day. It's the day where they take all the photos, do the first interviews, and feed all of the nations reporters to inspire good will...
Derrick Rose is certainly confident
While the off-season is full of fluff pieces, every player is in the best shape of their life, has thrown up a million shots this summer, and has his team primed for significant improvement, it feels good to read a few about Derrick Rose...
Do minutes matter? How can the Bulls stay healthy this season
"if healthy" seems to be a phrase I use a lot when describing the Bulls chances. It's odd and not so odd at the same time. Odd, because the phrase really describes any team. What are the Heat's championship odds if one of their key pieces tears an ACL this year? Not so good, but I never think to add the phrase "if healthy" for them...

The was sun slowly falling, upon the misty glen, when out of the darkness came a figure that the devil would surely only send. A red coat slung across his shoulder, a musket upon his side, with a troop he came marching, as if he were one of many boulders upon this sickening tide.

No, you've not lost your mind, the first one is not yet in theaters
While Levy is set for the sequel, the film is not yet officially greenlit - a decision that will come after the first film opens and its box office results can be analyzed. But with a positive, crowd-pleasing buzz already leaking out about the film, I suspect that Levy's belief that he and the studio will need to wait a month or so before officially announcing the sequel is playing it more than safe. But even if and when the sequel is officially set, Levy will need to work around Jackman's schedule, with the actor signed on for both "Les Miserables" and his Wolverine sequel most likely filming after that. Levy's schedule is also busy enough already, with the director expecting to make one of his next big, sure-to-be blockbusters sometime this spring. Those films? A new take on "Frankenstein" and a 3D "Fantastic Voyage." Levy seems to feel positively about both, but it's not yet determined which film will be lensed first.
Are you going to go see "Real Steel" when it opens?
Sundance hit from Joshua Leonard spins off T.C. Boyle's story
Will she get her man?
Sundance documentary follows the journey of the man who pulls the strings
Chatting with the director of the Sundance hit and Norway's entry for the Best Foreign Film Oscar
Norway and Sweden are neighbors but Norway gets the short end of the stick when it comes to having its films recognized by the international community. Take the Oscars for Best Foreign Film. Both Scandinavian countries have had official entries in the category every year since the late 1950s. But Norway has only had four films accepted by Academy officials and has never won. Sweden, on the other hand, has had 14 films in the competition and has won three Oscars.
Much has been written about the friction between the two countries, with many saying that Norway feels the brunt of the "sibling rivalry." But Norway's second-class status at the Academy Awards may change this year.
A Norwegian film called "Happy, Happy" won the World Cinema Jury Prize at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and is now enjoying a release in many American cities. Norway has submitted the film as its official entry for the upcoming Oscar competition. I think this funny, poignant film about an eternal optimist whose life changes when "the perfect couple" moves in next door has a good chance of not only snagging a nomination, but also the top prize. The five foreign film nominees will be announced on January 24, 2012.
I loved the film, which is being distributed in this country by Magnolia Pictures, and I recently had the chance to talk to first-time director Anne Sewitsky about her experience making the film and her hopes for its success far beyond the fjords of home.
Your main character, Kaia, reminded me of Sally Hawkins' Poppy in Mike Leigh's 2008 film, "Happy-Go-Lucky." Both have overtly cheerful personalities that border on annoying but which seem to mask some great pain underneath.
Sewitsky: Exactly. I think everyone has met someone who exudes that kind of Mary Poppins enthusiasm to the point of being disgustingly "merry." But we all know that behind many of those facades are sadder fates, masked with a veneer of cheerfulness. I see Kaia as a particular breed of Norwegian who feels the need to keep up appearances not only for the people on the outside looking in, but for her own mental stability. But the cracks are there, and it doesn't take long for her mask to fall.
Tom Six's sequel to the first gross-out film really brings the depravity
The Oscar-nominated actress loves hopscotching across genres and playing smaller character roles
Getting Sigourney Weaver to appear in your film is like winning the lottery. Regardless of the size of her role, Weaver's skill and instincts make every scene she's in that much more interesting and intelligent. Let's face it, it would be hard to think of another veteran actress who could provide Sigourney Weaver's level of brains, beauty, and—yes—brawn!
Weaver's brilliant career includes Broadway hits such as "Hurlyburly," her collaborations with playwright Christopher Durang, acclaimed TV movies, and a dazzling film career that spans every genre. What other actress has starred in three of the most successful sci-fi series of all time, "Avatar," "Aliens," and "Ghostbusters," received Oscar nominations for beloved films such as "Gorillas in the Mist" and "Working Girl," and given searing dramatic performances in films such as "The Ice Storm," "A Map of the World," "Imaginary Heroes," and "Snow Cake."
I had the great pleasure recently to sit down with Weaver to discuss her role as Dr. Geraldine Bennett, therapist-slash-CIA operative, in the new John Singleton thriller, "Abduction," starring Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, and Alfred Molina. We talked about how much she enjoys playing smaller roles in films where her characters' actions help set the plot in motion:
Weaver: I always loved those actors like James Mason who would come in and get something going in a certain direction. He may not always have had that much screen time, but he was so memorable in those films. That was my inspiration for this part, I kept thinking, "What would James Mason do?" What appealed to me about this character was that in a very short period of time I have to set something up in a very pivotal way. Also, I guess I've been in therapy for so many years, I was tickled about the idea of playing a therapist here! When John (Singleton) talked to me about the part, I loved the challenge of how Geri fits into the story.
How did you like playing a CIA agent?
Weaver: It's funny, I actually play another CIA person in a movie coming out in the spring! I thought it was quite bizarre that in the same year I'd play two, but these women are at opposite ends of the spectrum, with opposite views of their job. It's a tough life, believe me. I thought Alfred played it perfectly, he was so exasperated by the constant adrenaline demanded by the job. I love that our characters had lots of shades of gray.
No, this is not remake news (phew!)
Releasing non-movie events in movie theaters is nothing new (most moviegoers should at least be well-familiar with the screenings put on by Fathom Events, which seem to advertise before every AMC theater screening), but the expansion into such publicized Broadway fare is a fresh move. While the idea of seeing a play or a musical or a philharmonic performance on a movie screen (and removed from the live buzz one gets from a staged performance) may seem a bit silly, these types of events are wonderful ways for audiences to check out events they otherwise could not.
Case in point – Fathom often puts on National Theatre Live events that feature some of the very best of contemporary British theater, which is how they recently released special showings of Danny Boyle's "Frankenstein." Though the play earned accolades due to its wonderful alternating performances by Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller (who would switch off on roles as Frankenstein and the monster throughout the play's run), Boyle's production also had an absolutely captivating stage design. How did that all translate on screen? Quite wonderfully for what it was – I saw it in a small theater in downtown Los Angeles and managed to forget I was seeing a staged play on a movie screen.
Have you ever seen a non-film performance in a movie theater? Would you want to? Would you want to see any of these four musicals in a movie theater near you?

I love sushi, soooooo much, and although I don't have the skill and training to create perfect slices of sashimi and delicate little maki, there are plenty of other Japanese dishes I can make. I love Ramen, and bento, so this weekend I set myself a project to make onigiri. For those not familiar with Japanese cooking, think of it as a Japanese sandwich.
Close up of salmon wasabi mayo onigiri with green nori sprinkle, onigiri consists of a filling inside a ball of rice that is shaped by hand. The dark green seaweed paper on the outside is edible, and is used to hold the onigiri as the rice is sticky. The green nori sprinkle on the top corner is another type of seaweed with a slightly sweeter taste.
Once I got the hang of it I made a batch, you can see a few crispy salmon skin mini handrolls I made on the right hand side.
Close up of mini-handrolls, made with the left overs, filled with tuna wasabi mayonaise and crispy salmon.
FYI, they were delicious! Mum and sis took some for lunch the next day too. They were pretty easy to make once I got the hang of moulding the rice. Only problem now is that I've run out of sushi rice, and I need to decide what fillings to make for the next batch … yum!
I love my local charity shops, they are how charity shops are supposed to be. Not like the trendy Oxfam and Barnardo's, who price their books and vinyl according to the highest ebay bids. No, my local charity shops do not know the value of things. So to easy my guilt I always donate what ever change I have too.
Picked up this complete 6 piece tea set with a sandwich plate and side-plates for £3, and got a cute egg cup set at the same time for £2.
See how pretty they are?
I've used the set already, but have yet to have afternoon tea with them. I'm thinking cucumber sandwiches, earl grey tea, madeira cake with jam, jaffa cakes and mini croque monsieur's? Sounds like a plan for Easer Sunday. xXx
Some of you may be aware of the genius blog that is It's Nice That, if not check it out. Well they're currently doing a project with Picador Publishing to promote the new book by Helen Oyeyemi, and were asking for people to read a proof.
Never one to turn down a free book I signed up. Then this arrived on friday:
Black jiffy bags rock^
Proof copy of the book, two bookmarks, and letter^
It really is a proof!^
All I have to do now is read it, and write my review of the book on one of the bookmarks. They even sent me an S.A.E. to post it back in! Now, time to get stuck in …
Woo Hoo! Mashenka Fashion has kindly put the spotlight on me for the weekend. Check out her awesome article on the things I make here:

Tour through Turkmenistan
Replies: 9 - Last Post: Aug 27, 2012 4:25 AM Last Post By: iker_vit
jump to
Tour through Turkmenistan
I will be booking a tour as below for September/October 2012. However itis very expensive as a lone traveller. Is anybody interested in below itinerary
for all or part of it? They must be interested in desert archaeological sites
of which there are many in Turkmenistan.
There will probably be camping & some very islolated spots. I'm bringing all my gear
including tent in backpack. It will be getting cold at night.
Of course I will be doing the usual tourist spots.
There will be either a double entry visa or two entry visas. Entering from Uzbek,
exiting to Iran & return through Turkmenistan after three weeks in Iran.
Could I save myself the cost & do all this with a Transit Visa? Would you get hassled
in border areas by yourself?
Entry 1: Days:
1: Hojeyli - Konya Urgench – 17th September
2: Konya Urgench - Derweze
3: Derweze - Ashgabat
4 & 5: Ashgabat - Dehistan - (visiting sites) - Gudurolum Border Pass. Cross into Iran – 21st September.
Entry 2: Days
1: Saraghs – Merv – 12th October
2 & 3: Merv & Surrounding areas including Afghan border
4: Merv – Turkmenabat – Farab – 15th October.
Remember Gonur Tepe when visiting Merv.Consider doing at least 1 of the tours on a transit visa unless you want a guide. The Mary/Merv and Gonur Tepe is a huge area and the archaeology stretches over millenia. A good guide can tell you a lot about the places. I had an extremely good guide, Oleg, from stantours when visiting that area. He knew about everything about the history.
Hello brtk,maybe you are interested in joining me for a tour thru Turkmenistan on September also, probably around your date.
I will be starting this tour on September 9th from Ashgabat.
Please let me know, it would be great and the price would be lower for both.
Kind regards,
Hi,I am just sitting down truying to sort out a tour now. Have you got an itinary sorted out yet. Desperately trying to get aiming sorted ASAP, and am hanging back in Tblisi until I do. Have spoke to Stantours, and they think it is too late to get in until mid sept now. Have already got my Iranian visa sorted.
Give me a shout ASAP.
A couple things I did want do we're over night at Daravaza gas crater, lake koh-ata, weekend in ashgabat. And maybe Yangykala canyons as well as mere. Open to suggestions, what did you have in mind?
Hi damienminter, I will be starting this tour on September 9th from Ashgabat with Owadan. Itinerary is as follows:Day 1 09.09 Ashgabat
Day 2 10.09 Ashgabat – Nohur
Day 3 11.09 Nohur - Ashgabat - (flight to) Dashoguz
Day 4 12.09– Dashoguz- Kunyaurgench -Darwaza
Day 5 13.09 Darwaza-Ashgabat-(flight to) Mary
Day 6 14.09 Mary – Turkmenabat
Day 7 15.09 Turkmenabat - Farap
About Yangykala conyons, I also asked for that in the beginning, but in the end I decided to cut that, too far and not so many days, more interesting things included, XD...also thought about Dehistan, but same case, and is better Nohur to visit.
Tour ends in Farap because then I am crossing to Uzbekistan.
Please let me know asap also if you are interested and I can send you the complete details and consult with my contact in Owadan how much would be the price for both of us.
Guys, I just got my Iranian visa finally. As I'm leaving in 40hrs you can imagine the horror. 58 days since I started applying...I could join you for the Kunyaurgench - Darwaza - Ashgabat leg. I just need to apply for Turkmen visa in Tashkent. Are you on some pre-arranged tour or anything?
I still have to make up my mind whether to go back from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan and then through Turkmenistan to Iran or to get directly from Afghanistan to Iran. Opting for Turkmenistan leaves me with seeing probably only Mazar in Afghanistan...

FRESNO, California (KFSN) -- Fresno's Iron Bird Cafe has once again closed for business -- a closure that's reignited conversations about the future of Downtown Fresno.
Employee Elisa Miranda learned of the closure after arriving at work Thursday and finding the doors locked and a sign posted. Miranda missed a staff meeting Wednesday. "I didn't know they were going to be closing. I thought they were doing pretty good, business wise," said Miranda.
Iron Bird Cafe opened last February under new ownership after a cafe with the same name also closed its doors in 2011. On Facebook, owners of the cafe said rising food, coffee, and business costs led to the cafe's closure. They also said they continue believe in the potential of the cafe and Downtown Fresno.
The cafe is part of the Iron Bird Lofts -- one of Granville's several mixed use developments in Downtown Fresno. The closure comes as work continues on another project. Though the residential developments have done well, Fresno's Downtown and Community Revitalization Director Craig Scharton says that's just a part of a healthy downtown. "We'll probably never be able to build enough units to support a vibrant downtown. They're an important part of the mix, but really it's doing things that are going to do bring in throughout the region. It doesn't matter if its San Francisco or New York, those economies survive because people are consistently coming in and supporting them," said Scharton.
Scharton says revitalizing other neighborhoods near downtown is also important. Though the café's closure is considered a setback by some, the owner of Beautiology, a salon just a few doors down, continues to believe in revitalization. "'It's our version of San Francisco but it's in our backyard. And I feel like downtown, the revitalization, has a lot of potential. I'm going to stay here and see if it will grow. And I'm sure it will," said Julie Darasaeng.

It was finished shortly before his untimely death in December of 2009. Like the previous two recordings, this set explores prewar American music, from blues and folk styles to rags and early bluegrass. Rose uses the Pickers -- Glenn Jones, Harmonica Dan, and Hans Chew -- on most of this set, and performs solo as well. Rose was in an unusually creative period (even for him) recording this, learning and introducing new techniques into his playing, and it's all readily apparent here. The title refers to code used for procurement in the red-light district in old St. Louis; it's a humorous reference he grabbed from a record's liner notes. The opening track, "Blues for Percy Danforth," is named for the famous hardwood bones player. It begins in classical Indian raga style, with an unusual tuning and plenty of drone notes before Rose kicks it into gear a bit with his newer fingerpicking style that is fluid and spacious, but also direct, finding its way toward the middle strings as the point of a return path. He's accompanied skeletally by a jaw harp and harmonica. The title track is a meld of rag, droning blues, and a breakdown. "Lick Mountain Ramble" is full-on Eastern-sounding bluegrass with fiddles, mouth harp, and percussion replacing banjos and mandolins. Rose rides through modes flipping the rhythms with his strumming and quick fingerpicking runs. There are three covers on the set as well: a languid, late-night barrelhouse version of W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues"; a sprightly reading of Blind Blake's rag "West Coast Blues," with beautiful interaction between guitar and banjo; and the moving, jumping country gospel blues "Everybody Ought to Pray Sometimes" by Dennis Crumpton and Robert Summers. This set was a fine step forward for Rose, but after the record ends, the listener is left with the painful awareness of what his loss means to music fans in general and folk music fans in particular.
