Lucky Number Slevin director Paul McGuigan takes the helm for this action thriller concerning a group of telekinetic American ex-patriots who band together in an attempt to take down the clandestine government agency that's genetically transforming normal citizens into powerful psychic warriors. The Division is a shadowy government operation devoted to making humankind the ultimate weapon. Those who accept this transformation have the power to move objects with the mind, see the future before it happens, create new realities, and dispense of their enemies without so much as a single touch; those who are unwilling to participate are immediately terminated. Nick Gant (Chris Evans) is a "mover," a second-generation telekinetic who went into hiding after the Division killed his father more than a decade earlier. He lives a life of anonymity in Hong Kong, a densely populated place where fugitive psychics such as himself are safe as long as they can keep their unique gift secret. Suddenly into Nick's life comes 13-year-old "watcher" Cassie Holmes (Dakota Fanning), a clairvoyant who needs his help in tracking down escaped "pusher" Kira, who may hold the key to bringing down the Division once and for all. A "pusher" is the most powerful kind of psychic due to his or her ability to influence the actions of others by planting thoughts in their minds. Now, as Nick emerges from hiding in order to help Cassie find Kira, the Division's human bloodhounds are hot on their trail. In order to elude the authorities, they'll need to disappear into the seedy underbelly of the city while relying on a team of rogue psychics to help cover their tracks. But Division Agent Henry Carver (Djimon Hounsou) is a powerful pusher who has made it his mission to stop them at all costs, regardless of the collateral damages that may occur in the process. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An outsider teen acclimating to a new school finds a home in a reclusive teenaged fight club in this drama from Cry_Wolf director Jeff Wadlow. Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) has just moved with his family to Orlando, FL. While Jake isn't exactly comfortable being the new kid in town, his younger brother, Charlie (Wyatt Smith), is an aspiring professional tennis star who might just have what it takes to break big. But Charlie isn't the only talented athlete in the family, because Jake used to be something of a hotshot on the gridiron -- at least back home. Here in Orlando, Jake is considered something of a hothead thanks to his penchant for brawling. In an attempt to better fit in with his new classmates, Jake accepts flirtatious classmate Baja's (Amber Heard) invitation to a raucous party. There, the short-fused newcomer is lured into a fight and badly beaten by local bully Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet). But a beam of hope shines through the humiliation when a classmate who sees potential in the defeated fighter informs Jake of a local MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) program run by Jean Roqua (Djimon Hounsou). Despite Jake's preconceived notions regarding MMA, he quickly discovers that it's not just another form of street fighting but a rich new art form that he longs to master. As Roqua takes Jake under his tutelage, it soon becomes apparent that in order to become a true MMA champion, Jake will have to learn patience, discipline, willingness, and reason. This isn't just a quest for revenge, but an opportunity for Jake to finally find out what kind of man he truly is. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An ordinary man with an extraordinary gift must save the planet from evil in this action-packed fantasy. Unknown to most people, the world is crowded with spirits both good and evil who walk among us in human guise. One of the few who can see these spirits is John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), but the responsibility of his vision is more than he can stand, and he tries to kill himself. Saved from death, Constantine must now atone for his actions by acting as a guardian in the middle ground between Paradise and Hell. Constantine also makes the acquaintance of Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), a police detective who becomes aware of his unusual gift while looking into the death of her sister; he leads her into the unknown world of the spirits and soon circumstances demand that they join forces in a desperate bid to save humanity from evil. Constantine also features Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, and Gavin Rossdale, the latter best known as the lead singer of the rock group Bush.

Blockbuster action director Michael Bay delivers a striking look at a strange world of the future in this sci-fi action drama. Midway through the 21st century, Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) lives in a confined indoor community after ongoing abuse of the Earth has rendered most of the planet uninhabitable. One of the only places in the outside world still capable of sustaining life is an idyllic island where citizens are chosen to live through a lottery. Or at least that's what Lincoln and his fellow citizens are taught to believe; the truth is that Lincoln, like everyone he knows, is actually a clone who is kept under wraps to provide needed organs when the person who supplied his or her DNA falls ill. When he becomes aware that his existence is a fraud, Lincoln escapes to the outside world with a fellow clone, Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), though the powers that be are determined to see that no one gets away alive. The Island also stars Steve Buscemi, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Sean Bean. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Unfortunately, once she secures the legendary artifact, it is promptly stolen by the villainous leader of a Chinese crime syndicate. It is then up to Lara to get the box back before an evil mastermind gets hold of it and uses it to construct a weapon of catastrophic capabilities.

A.E.W. Mason's perennially popular tale of honor and adventure is brought to the screen yet again in this lavish period action-drama. In 1884, Harry Feversham (Heath Ledger) is a young officer-in-training in the British Army who is soon to graduate and is expected to be shipped of to the Sudan, where the King's military are battling Muslim insurgents who are attempting to overturn English colonial rule. Feversham, however, has developed serious ethical reservations about going along, and on the eve of his departure, he resigns his commission. Feversham's best friend and fellow officer Jack Durrance (Wes Bentley) in response presents him with a white feather (a symbol of cowardice), and two of his classmates follow suit. Ethne Eustace (Kate Hudson), Feversham's fiancée, presents him with a fourth white feather shortly before breaking off their engagement. Sufficiently humbled, Feversham attempts to win back his honor and the respect of his family and friends by secretly becoming an undercover operative in the Sudan. His initial attempts to pose as an Arab are not especially convincing, but he makes friends with Abou Fatma (Djimon Hounsou), a local sympathetic with the British cause who proves to be a valuable source of insider information and advice on how to blend with the rebels. Meanwhile, Durrance is briefly ordered back to England to help recruit new soldiers for the colonial forces, and he takes the opportunity to begin wooing Eustace, the former flame of his former friend. This adaptation is the fifth film version of The Four Feathers, following two silent screen adaptations (released in 1915 and 1928), Zoltan Korda's memorable 1939 version, and a 1977 made-for-TV movie. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After chronicling various chapters of Irish history in such films as In the Name of the Father and The Field, writer/director Jim Sheridan turns his lens upon his own family's experiences immigrating to the United States in the aptly titled In America. The loosely autobiographical script centers on Johnny (Paddy Considine), a young actor sneaking his wife, Sarah (Samantha Morton), and daughters, Christy and Ariel (real-life sisters Sarah and Emma Bolger, respectively), over the Canadian border in the hopes of jump-starting his career in New York City. They soon find that America is not the land of boundless opportunity, however, as they move into a dank, dilapidated apartment building populated by drug dealers, transients, and thugs. Johnny doesn't snag auditions as easily as he may have hoped, and he and Sarah are forced to take meager jobs after spending their savings on food, rent, and utilities. Still in grief over the untimely death of their toddler son back in Ireland, the couple find their relationship further strained by the pressures of life in the city. Little by little, however, things begin to look up for the fiercely protective family unit, especially when they befriend an eccentric artist neighbor named Mateo (Djimon Hounsou). In America saw its world premiere at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival and played to enthusiastic crowds at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival before its theatrical release in the fall of that year. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

A man robbed of his name and his dignity strives to win them back, and gain the freedom of his people, in this epic historical drama from director Ridley Scott. In the year 180, the death of emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) throws the Roman Empire into chaos. Maximus (Russell Crowe) is one of the Roman army's most capable and trusted generals and a key advisor to the emperor. As Marcus' devious son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) ascends to the throne, Maximus is set to be executed. He escapes, but is captured by slave traders. Renamed Spaniard and forced to become a gladiator, Maximus must battle to the death with other men for the amusement of paying audiences. His battle skills serve him well, and he becomes one of the most famous and admired men to fight in the Colosseum. Determined to avenge himself against the man who took away his freedom and laid waste to his family, Maximus believes that he can use his fame and skill in the ring to avenge the loss of his family and former glory. As the gladiator begins to challenge his rule, Commodus decides to put his own fighting mettle to the test by squaring off with Maximus in a battle to the death. Gladiator also features Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou, and Oliver Reed, who died of a heart attack midway through production. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Think Twice Before You Use Company Vehicles to Voice Your Political Views
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Monday July 23, 2012I was driving down the road the other day and saw an equipment trailer decorated with four political bumper stickers. My curiosity got the best of me so I sped up a little to see if the truck towing the trailer belonged to a contractor or a DIYer. I was surprised to see the truck did belong to a contracting firm, with the company name and contact information on the driver's side door. We live in a free country, and freedom of speech is a First Amendment right for everyone. However, there are some instances when I think people need to think twice before they exercise that right. With a country so politically divided between the two parties, contractors who openly support political candidates over others by putting bumper stickers on... -
Keep Your Employees Safe with a Texting Ban
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Monday July 2, 2012A few weeks ago I attended a small safety event in conjunction with my community farmer's market. There were informational tables from the Red Cross, the local fire department and the like. Of course any construction-related information drew my attention, including a safety brochure from the American Automobile Association (AAA) entitled "Texting While Driving: A Dangerous Combination." While this brochure was created to help parents curtail teen texting and driving, the statistics referenced were enough to scare any adult, let alone any business owner who owns and insures a fleet of vehicles. Here are some of the statistics from the brochure: Although 92% of U.S. drivers consider texting while driving unacceptable, 24% of those... -
Nominations Are Open for the Second Annual Independent Business of the Year Award

If so, I encourage you to nominate that store for the 2012 independent business of the year award, "The Indie." The award is sponsored by Independent We Stand, a movement/website that educates consumers on the benefits of buying goods and services from independent, local businesses. The Independent We Stand website references several statistics that demonstrate benefits of buying local: When you spend $100 at an independent business, $68 returns to the local community.

5 Things I Learned at World of Concrete 2012
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Monday January 30, 2012The 2012 World of Concrete was my sixth visit to the concrete industry's largest gathering of contractors, equipment and product manufacturers, and industry experts and educators.

Due to several factors, however, DOTs are not taking advantage of this cost savings. The concrete industry... -
ACI-WI Group Hears Talk on Electrically Conductive Concrete
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Monday November 21, 2011Imagine a world where you could drive cross country in an electric car, never stopping to recharge your battery but instead taking advantage of induction charging through electrically conductive concrete roadways. This glimpse of the future isn't as far off as you might think. True, electric car technologies have a long way to go before this type of future can be realized, but the concrete end of it has been making advancements over the last several years. At a recent meeting of the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), Art Covi, P.E., Principal Engineer, Coal-Combustion Products Team Leader for WE Energies in Milwaukee, Wis., gave a presentation entitled, "Electrically Conductive Concrete Using High Carbon Fly... -
Concrete Spring House Still Standing
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Thursday October 20, 2011While hiking around Wisconsin's Governor Dodge State Park a few weekends ago, I took in the fall color change and visited three spring houses, or "pioneer refrigerators," nestled in the woods throughout the park. The spring houses were all constructed with some form of concrete, stone and mortar by the homesteaders who farmed the land. Concrete's thermal mass properties made the spring houses functional, and concrete's resilience through time has allowed them to remain standing 100+ years. Each of these spring houses was built on top of a natural spring, which provided fresh water to the homesteaders who owned and farmed the surrounding land. The stone and concrete buildings stayed cool year round thanks to the cold spring water... -

Joking around about safety
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Monday February 7, 2011Safety is no joke, but sometimes humor can be a great way to deliver a serious message. I recently ran across the Safety Stuffers campaign by Nehlsen Communications. Safety Stuffers is a series of informative safety messages presented through fictional movie posters, goofy quizzes, crime scene investigation spoofs and other less-than-serious formats. The campaign fliers are sized to fit into an envelope with a pay check stub. Standard designs are available, along with customizable campaigns.

He's not an Israeli. He doesn't have family in Israel. He's not even a Jew. He was in fact, a "ringer" from the Dominican Republic, brought in with several countrymen to bolster the roster of a fledgling hardball operation. But after his Triple A debut last night as catcher for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, Eladio Rodriguez is the Pride of The Israel Baseball League.
Playing against the Buffalo Bisons in Buffalo, E-Rod hit a double and walked twice in the Yankees' 10-2 win. The Bisons scored one run in the eighth off a passed ball to Eladio, but he was not charged with an error.
The hopes pinned on Eladio by both the Yankees and IBL is the most unlikely twist yet in the saga of baseball in Israel. After a knockabout journeyman career that had him on the mound and behind the plate, playing under various aliases and getting-- and losing a shot-- at The Big Show with the Boston Red Sox more than a decade ago, he went on to become IBL batting champ and co-MVP, only to have his minor league contract with the New York Yankees mocked as a publicity stunt to generate investment in the IBL. When he didn't even show up for spring training in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the laughter intensifed.
But after a chain of mishaps starting with Yankee pitcher Jorge Posada's injured throwing shoulder, Israel's E-Rod is behind the plate in Scranton and looking for a possible move up to The Big Show after all.
Even more unlikely, this Spanish-speaking béisboler who's batting .333 has united all sides in the post-season Israel baseball conflict as friend and foe alike cheer him toward Yankee Stadium.

E-Rod doubles, walks twice in AAA Yanks debut
Eladio Rodriguez,
israel baseball,
New York Yankees
2 comments:
Why is Eladio described as a "ringer" w/r/t his season in Israel? Because he's not a Jew or Israeli? As far as I know the IBL did not intend to have 100% Jewish/Israeli rosters but instead intended to be made up of international players to include Jews and Israelis. Why is there always some sort of negative connotation in these reports about the IBL? I'm glad to see this "publicity stunt" was able to settle his visa issues and by all reports play a fine game at the AAA level.

Good luck Eladio!!

We are already dreaming of what we would love to change about the bathroom and the list is never-ending. Frost the window and get rid of those cheap, old, dirty blinds. Replace the floors. Replace the vanity with something less big. Frame the mirror. Change out the door. Install some shelving. Paint over all the stenciling. Get rid of the bath tub. ....yeah, we're pretty sure.
Getting rid of the huge bathtub that seemed so dreamy at first is definitely a topic of discussion over here. I wouldn't call myself a bath person. I did try to take a bath once since we moved in and the water ended up not being hot enough and I didn't want to waste more water by filling it up again, so I sat in luke warm water for 10 minutes and then took a steamy shower. A hot shower is something that is definitely on my favorite-things list...so why not amp up our shower??
The tub also takes up a lot of visual space and this bathroom isn't huge. I think getting rid of the tub and installing glass doors for the shower would make this room visually larger. The only reason we're hesitating is for resale purposes--because we probably won't live here forever. Do people look for a big tub in the master bathroom or would they be equally as happy with a nice shower like these I pinned and can't stop thinking about?:
So, what say ye?
"Keep the tub for resale purposes."
"I would much rather have a big shower with all the upgrades."
...or maybe something completely different. We'd love to hear.

I'm inspired to write this, after realising there was some truth in a post on Gamefaqs Bioshock messageboard.
Tiptop3 said:I've got to say that final bit made me laugh. Even I wasn't expecting to just stab myself when I clicked on the strange glowing item that was my first plasmid.Anyone else think the way he got down into Rapture is INCREDIBLY stupid?
I mean, you get into a plane crash, it would be ok if you just sit on the steps and wait for rescue, but venturing deeper AND DEEPER into this unfamilier building then take a submarine into this massive city. And don't get me started on the plasmids "LOL LETS STAB MYSELF WITH THE FIRST NEEDLZ I FIND LOLOLOL"
Although there haven't been any other incidents like this in the demo, I can't stop thinking about how strange the initial plasmid use is now. Why would anyone wander into a strange underwater city, right after a plane crash and proceed to stab themselves with an odd looking needle?
For the record I love the demo, can't wait for the game and I actually thought everything else about the opening sequence was extremely cinematic and original, I loved it, but man that's a weird thing to do...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has proposed a $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal 2014 that aims to slash the deficit by a net $600 billion over 10 years, raise taxes and trim popular benefit programs, including Social Security and Medicare. The White House claims deficit reductions of $1.8 trillion, but Obama's proposal would negate more than $1 trillion in automatic spending cuts that started in March. Those cuts average 5 percent for domestic agencies and 8 percent for the Defense Department this year.
The agency-by-agency breakdown:
Agency: Agriculture
Total Spending: $145.8 billion
Percentage Change from 2013: 5.9 percent decrease
Discretionary Spending: $21.5 billion
Mandatory Spending: $124.4 billion
Highlights: Similar to years past, Obama's budget proposes savings by cutting farm subsidies. The proposal envisions a $37.8 billion reduction in the deficit by eliminating some subsidies that are paid directly to farmers, reducing government help for crop insurance and streamlining agricultural land conservation programs.
The Obama administration says many of these subsidies can no longer be justified with the value of both crop and livestock production at all-time highs. Farm income is expected to increase 13.6 percent to $128.2 billion in 2013, the highest inflation-adjusted amount in 40 years.
Obama and his Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, have proposed similar cuts every year and Congress has largely ignored them. There is congressional momentum for eliminating some subsidies paid directly to farmers this year, though, as farm-state lawmakers search for ways to cut agricultural spending and pass a five-year farm bill. There is less appetite among lawmakers to cut crop insurance.
The budget also would overhaul the way American food aid is sent abroad, a move largely anticipated by farm and food aid groups. The United States now donates much of its food aid by shipping food overseas, a process many groups say is inefficient. The budget would transfer the money used to ship the food to cash accounts at the United States Agency for International Development. The administration says that would help two million more people annually and save an estimated $500 million over 10 years. Farm and shipping groups are strongly opposed to the idea.
The bulk of the USDA budget is dollars for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, which are expected to cost around $80 billion in the 2014 budget year. Costs for the program have more than doubled during Obama's presidency, driven by an ailing economy and an expansion of the benefit in 2009. Conservatives have called for cutting or overhauling food stamps, but the budget says the Obama administration strongly supports the current program "at a time of continued need."
Agency: Commerce
Total Spending: $11.7 billion
Percentage Change from 2013: 34.3 percent increase
Discretionary Spending: $8.6 billion
Mandatory Spending: $3.1billion
Highlights: Obama wants to boost investments in research and development and export promotion in hopes of spurring economic growth.
The president is asking for $1 billion to set up a nationwide network of manufacturing innovation institutes to develop cutting-edge technologies to make U.S. manufacturing firms more competitive.
Obama's budget request also calls for $754 million for the National Institute of Standards and Technologies laboratories aimed at making American manufacturers more competitive in the global marketplace. The money is for promoting advances in areas such as cyber security, manufacturing, communications and disaster resilience.

Huddleston Parents,
Our school is requesting your help to complete 2 required
on-line surveys beginning November 4th-November 15th.
The first survey is the "Georgia Parent Survey" sponsored by the Georgia Department of Education, and data will be used as part of Huddleston's yearly school accountability score called the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI).
The Georgia Parent Survey has 20 questions and it should take no more than 5 - 10 minutes to complete it. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. Data results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to the public and will not be posted online.
The link to the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below. After you click on the link, a drop-down menu will appear and the parent will use the drop-down menu to select their school district and their school.
Click here to access the Georgia Parent Survey The second survey is the "AdvancEd Parent Survey" which is part of our school district's accreditation process. All Fayette County schools are currently completing the 5-year accreditation process, and the data will be used to complete the requirements for this process. Huddleston is required to get a minimum of 20% participation rate on this survey, and the higher the percentage the more our school can benefit from the input. It should take no more than 10 minutes to take this survey.
Several of the questions refer to our school's PURPOSE and DIRECTION. These are our school's mission, vision, and beliefs which describe how our school embodies its purpose through its program offerings and expectations for students. If you would like to review these before you take the survey, checkout our school's webpage at: http://huddlestonelementary.org/mission.htm

Thank you for taking your time to participate in both of these surveys.
Canned Food Drive
During this season of Thanksgiving, one way we can live out our thanks is by giving to our neighbors who are facing times of struggle.
Will you join us November 18 - 22 to help restock the Food Pantry at the Real Life Center?
Items can be dropped off to the containers in the front lobby.

We often hear about "BUY LOCAL", and for good reason. Buying local strengthens local economies. Chamber for Good is about "DONATE LOCAL". So many wonderful, small organizations remain hidden in the shadows of our own neighborhoods fueled not by large marketing budgets but by the zeal and dedication of a few individuals who see a local need and do their best to fill it. Chamber for Good also seeks to support those larger charitable organizations that truly do have a local presence and take their role of community partner seriously. The key to Chamber for Good is that it leverages the strength and character of your local chamber of commerce to serve as the conduit connecting local donors to local charities serving local needs.

Looks like an All American friend. Sorry for the loss.
Sad day Dave. Give the family a big hug
this office addon for whs seems like a risky deal, I seem to remember some licensing text that home server is not for general pc use like 'running office'.. will be interesting to see if ms reacts. having said that, it seems really great vs buying / maintaining multiple office instances!
So Sorry Dave! They are like family members.
What a beautiful dog! Looks like an Australian Cattle Dog.
One of my favorite breeds. -
Sorry for your loss Dave.
So sorry for your loss Dave. I'm a huge dog lover and completely understand the attachment and pain at losing a loved pet.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) became a recognised clinical condition in 1934 when Norwegian physician Ivar Asbjørn Følling identified a link between mental retardation and elevated levels of phenylalanine (hyperphenylalaninemia). The elevated levels of phenylalanine (Phe) was a recognised consequence of a deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH).

Pneumocystis jirovecii cysts are thick-walled, rounded and approximately 5-8 µm in size, although thin-walled cysts exist also. Cysts contain up to eight intracystic bodies. Precysts have also been described for this organism. Precysts are spherical, 4-7 µm in diameter and do not contain intracystic bodies (but may contain one or more nuclei). Cysts are found in the lungs and many other extrapulmonary specimens, especially in immunocompromised patients.
A, B: Cysts of P. jirovecii in lung tissue, stained with methenamine silver and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). The walls of the cysts are stained black; the intracystic bodies are not visible with this stain.

(Petit déjeuner @ Dominique Saibron in Paris)
Last year the boyfriend and I went on a fantastic road trip through Germany, France and Italy - I drank at a brauhaus, drove on the Nurburgring, pretended to be a gladiator at the Coliseum and saw a lot of skeletons. Out of all the things we saw and did the one thing I remember the most is waking up in Paris and going for our daily petit déjeuner at Dominique Saibron's boulangerie. I always ordered a cappuccino and pain au chocolat while Dima would order a chocolat chaud and cycle through the pastry selection. My cappuccino was always strong and covered with a thick layer of cinnamon while my pain au chocolat had a buttery crispness to the exterior and a soft, chocolately inside. We would enjoy our pastries sitting, facing the streets of Paris watching the citizens start their day and contemplating how we would start ours. Back in Ottawa I continued my love of cappuccinos and pain au chocolat but struggled finding something that resembeled the pain au chocolat I so loved in Paris.

olovely you said it perfectly. This is definitely the path to a united Ireland. While I do not agree with Sinn Fein's politics, (they are a far left socialist party) I am happy that nationalists are in the majority and hopefully next year, calling the shots. I'm all for 32 counties. The economy has to sustain itself before this happens though. there is no way the country can sustain two major cities like Dublin and Belfast with the economy the way it is now.
peterrocco, i'm sure i'm not the first to tell you, you're smoking crack. whilst you live in a world of untainted and perfect ideology the rest of us down here in reality recognize a MAJOR political development in Sinn Fein's path to a united Ireland. they have become the largest party in the north without firing a shot. if you can't accept or understand why that's significant you're too far up your own perfectionist fundament.
Step by step we are getting there! Peterrocco, I know it has been slow,but better spend time than spilled blood. Serving the cause does not have to mean sacrificing your or others lives. There was a time when there was no other choice ,but thank God not now.
The Provos are Britain's rulers in the North and Her Majesty's Regional authority subject always to Her ultimate authority. The Provos have indeed come a long way from fighting for principles to accepting handouts from the enemy. Their surrender is complete. Congratulations to the British Provisionals on your achievements in the British world of politics. Joiun the ranks of all those who have sold their souls for money and power.
Let's see if democracy will prevail. This will be a real test for the British government. What happens if the Unionist refuse to accept the math?
As an American, it is not for me to voice my opinion except to say I am delighted for them. The smiles on their faces tell the story.

This is Greg Abbott's video.
He's our current Attorney General who is eying the restored Texas governor's mansion.
He talks about Obama a lot. Seems like he's running against him. Instead of his real opponent Tom Pauken.
Maybe Abbott is scared of Pauken. So scared he can't even acknowledge him. Or debate him.
It could be interpreted as arrogance. Greg Abbott's, that is.
He expects to be crowned the next 'Imperial Governor' of Texas. That he already has the keys to the restored governor's mansion. It burned down during Rick Perry's tenure.
This is Greg Abbott's video. He talks about how bad Obama care will be.
He wants the citizens to submit videos telling him how wrong Obamacare is for Texas.
28.8 percent of Texans were uninsured last year. That was for the fifth straight year, the highest in the United States.
Greg Abbott has no solution, no ideas on how to get more of these Texans insured. He just demonized those who tried.
The citizens of Texas should submit videos to Gregg Abbott asking what he is going to do get more Texans insured.

The Irish American owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Frank McCourt has apologized to fans over the mess the team is in because of his bitter divorce.
I'd like to apologize to fans to say, `I'm sorry,'" McCourt said .
"I'm sorry that my personal mess has affected their lives and their enjoyment of supporting the Dodgers. I'm sorry that I've been a source of embarrassment for them."
Alice Ward, the mother of fighter Irish Mickey Ward has died in a Boston-area hospital.

She was 79 and had suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken off life support.
Irish American announcer Tom Durkan, recognized as one of the greatest race callers of all time, has decided to step down from covering the Kentucky Derby on NBC and other Triple Crown races but will continue to call New York races.
"It's always been stressful," Durkin, told Daily Racing Form adding he had seen a psychiatrist to help handle the stress.
"It's just the stress got to be too much," Durkin told DRF . "When you're walking around with a pit in your stomach for three months a year, just a general bad feeling and nervousness. You look up stress in the dictionary or online, and I'm a classic case of it. Sometimes you have to look out for your professional life; more importantly, you have to look out for your personal life. This is a bad professional decision and a good personal one."
Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor was the hero as he stopped an 82nd minute penalty kick in their vital game against Celtic.
The 0-0 draw left Celtic one point behind with five games to play with a game in hand and are favorites to win yet another Scottish title.
The draw will suit Celtic then, but they will surely regret Gerogios Samaras's miss from the penalty spot which would have made them hot favorites for the title.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon is more determined than ever to stay at the helm at Parkhead despite receiving a bomb package in the mail.
Lennon said: "Anyone in any walk of life shouldn't have to deal with something like this.
"It is uncomfortable, you see your face every hour on the news and after a while you start thinking 'is that me they are talking about?' And I had to deal with that on the day of a very important game [against Kilmarnock].
Frank McCourt should have the right to screw up his own business if he wants to.
He bought and paid for the Los Angeles Dodgers and it is ridiculous to see Major League Baseball try and take it off him.
I'm glad to see he is fighting back and will fight to keep his team.
Masterful Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien,(pic), looks certain to have a runner in this year's Kentucky Derby.
Master of Hounds, second in the Dubai Derby will represent the stable providing he works well the next two weeks according to reports.
It was deja vu all over again for Rory McIlroy when a bad shot ended his chance of a major win in a golf tournament.
This week McIlroy stood on the 18th at the Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur needing a birdie on the par 5 to get into a playoff.
However, history repeated itself as he drove his second shot too far to the right and was unable to beat par.
Skylar Diggins, the stunning Notre Dame sophomore guard who shot to national prominence this year when the Fighting Irish defeated U Conn in the final four has strongly denied that a nude photo circulating on the internet is of her.

Bill O'Reilly will be favorite to win the Kentucky Derby this year.
Well not exactly --- but a horse named after him 'The Factor' is currently the favorite and will be even more so if he wins the Arkansas Derby today.
The Factor is called after the Irish Fox News mega star because his owner, Charles Bolton is huge fan of the show and watches it every night.
Brian Kelly is throwing a big surprise for the first televised Blue-Gold game at Notre Dame on Saturday.
The two main quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Tommy Rees will be nowhere to be seen in the biggest game before the opener in September.

Rory McIlroy whacked a drive over 400 yards at the Malayasian Open and announced he had put his US Masters woes behind him
"There was more people upset about that round than I was," he said. "I'm fine. It's one bad round. I'll live and I'm getting on with it."
Padraig Harrington has no concerns about Rory McIlroy handling his collapse in the US Masters-- but he believes Tiger Woods may well deeply regret his back nine finish.
Harrington said that once he saw McIlroy after his bad round handle the media queries with class and style his fears disappeared.
"Rory did incredibly well afterwards," Harrington told the Irish Independent. "In a week's time, he'll have had time to reflect, but his attitude so soon after walking off the 18th green on Sunday was fantastic and augurs well for his future.
Rory McIlroy will overcome his traumatic experience at Augusta in due time.
He's just a kid, albeit one with a very special talent, but if you look at golfers like Padraig Harrington and Nickk Faldo, they struggled for many years before making the Majors breakthrough.
Indeed, Faldo was derisively known as 'Foldo' in the British tabloid press before he got it together.
Rory McIlroy lost his four shot lead after just ten holes of the final round of the Masters. He eventually ended up collapsing and hitting a round of 80.
McIlroy, clearly feeling the pressure was one over at the turn but drove his tenth tee shot almost out of bounds and took a seven to go four over par for his round. He later three-putted the 12th to fall completely out of contention.
His final round was reminiscent of the collapse at the British Open last year when he shot a second round 80

It is hard to believe some times that Rory McIlroy is just 21 years old.
He is playing with such maturity and passion at the US Masters that the phrase 'old head on young shoulders' comes to mind.

Randy Travis left a Texas jail this morning in a brand new suit ... a paper suit ... after cops found the country singer NAKED at the scene of a DWI car wreck.
TMZ broke the story ... officials say Travis had no clothes on when they arrived to the scene of his car accident late last night. They also say Travis was drunk off his ass ... and arrested him for DWI.
After transporting a naked Travis to a nearby jail, officials forced Travis to put on the paper suit ... which he was allowed to wear home.
It's possible Travis wasn't entirely naked during the arrest -- since he was wearing a U of Texas hat on the way out of jail, it's possible he was also sporting the headwear at the crash scene.
If you're only gonna wear one article of clothing during a naked arrest, might as well make it something that says "Longhorn."
Keep it coming Randy, Us red necks got your back (not obozos) like the brothers. I would have requested News Paper, instead of those "Scrubs" style togs. drop me a email where next party is. a Fan Forever. a mouth can say anything so don't listen to the gossip.
Blahahahahahahhaaha...Randy.... where were your cloths man ?!?!?!? Hahahahahhaa I can't stop laughing...that is funny **** right there...
Driving naked! Whut was he thinking? Well, he was actually naked, he had a hat on. I thought you could legally drive drunk in Texas anyway.
A dog and a pickup truck and this would make a good country song! Live it like you write it, Randy! Yee-Hawwwwww!
This is just sad. i worked at a record store back in the mid eighties and we could not stock enough of this guys albums. None of us could believe how popular a country singer had become with mainstream music fans. He'll never be as big as he once was but I hope he can at least regain his dignity and find sobriety.
I want to be Randys sponser. So if anyone knows him send him my name jaden roberts firstname.lastname@example.com

I just took a dump and some of my crap was black. I forgot what this means. Maybe I ate some bad chicken or something. I don't know. I was wondering if anyone can chime in on this. Thanks. Oh I have been using Ephedrine for quite a while now.
black could also mean you might have some bleeding somewhere in the GI tract, like an ulcer..
Black and tarry generally means bleeding somewhere in the upper-middle GI tract. Seeing red blood in stools is generally the result of hemorrhaging in the lower GI tract/rectum area-
OR a samurai sword being lodged in your lower abdomen can do this as well.
Interesting. I feel alright so I'm not too worried. Would a possible ulcer cause me some pain?Originally Posted by Matthew D
Luckily I didn't see any tar or red blood. I'll keep an eye on things.Originally Posted by bioman
lol I don't think it was the samurai sword... :P
If it's a one time thing, it's probably something you ate or drank. If this occurs consistently, you need to get a lab stool done to rule in/out blood from gi bleed.
If you took pepto that will make your stool dark.

Beautiful. Fantastic couple. Fantastic time at the wedding that day.
There was a whole lot of "real" stuff happening at Jacky & Eric's wedding, which made my job super easy and super fun! I didn't have to do a lot of posing with these two; we mostly just let the day take them by storm. There was a lot of love flying around between these two, their families and their friends. Everyone was so happy for them, and they glowed the entire day. Their ceremony and reception took place at the Rivercrest Golf Club in Phoenixville, which meant that we are now two-for-two with First Looks this year! Theirs was pretty special, and one of my favorite photos from the day is the one below of Jackie squeezing Eric tight with a huge smile on her face. They were definitely glad to see each other! The rest of the day was smooooth sailing. From watergun fights to the milkshake bar, everyone had a great time at the reception. Back2Life kept the crowd moving with their awesome talent, and the staff at Rivercrest did an amazing job.
I also have to give props to Jacky and her mom for planning this wedding in 5 MONTHS! Yup, you heard that right…they pulled off an AMAZING wedding day in 5 months…great job, ladies!
Thanks for letting Laura and I share your day with you, guys! Congratulations!
Beautiful. Fantastic couple. Fantastic time at the wedding that day.
