Richie Sambora Goes Indie With New Solo Album
Silversun Pickups. Beady Eye. Fitz & the Tantrums. Ben Lee. Richie Sambora. Which one of these is not like the other?
Yes, Sambora may stick out like a sore thumb, but the founding member and guitarist of one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Bon Jovi, is releasing his third solo release, Aftermath of the Lowdown, Tuesday via Dangerbird Records -- the Silver Lake, Calif. indie-label that hosts some of alternative music's coolest artists.
Sambora certainly could have taken his music to his pick of major labels, but the axe-man, who once helmed his own indie in the early '80s, still has the independent spirit in his soul.
"The music business is changing so rapidly nowadays as far as the way records are being heard, marketed and sold," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "These larger companies don't have the flexibility to move along with that. The independent structure has a lot more flexibility and a lot more freedom. I think that's why I moved towards that."
He adds that band leader Jon Bon Jovi is extremely supportive of the project, and is on board with assisting Sambora's long-range goals. The singer will step aside and let Sambora feature a few tracks from the album when the group hits the road in the spring.
"I'm going to go play these songs live when the band goes out on tour, too. Jon's going to let me play a couple of songs, so I am going to continue promoting this record even when I'm out on the road with the band," he says.
When Sambora signed to Dangerbird, it was largely due to kindred spirit Jeff Castelaz, co-founder of Dangerbird, who Sambora said understood his musical vision from the very first meeting and "a bond was created immediately." Both men were introduced through a mutual friend, Phil Cassens, a former A&R head at Virgin Records who now serves as Sambora's manager.
"A good friend of mine brought him into the studio just to see what was up, and I do believe Jeff walking in the studio on day one had no idea what to expect. What we found is we were very like-minded when it came to music and record making," he says. "I think when he heard the music on this record it changed his mind. We started to talk. Two strangers became family very quickly. This man was a great man to be walking this particular path with."
As of last week, Castelaz went in a separate direction, as he departed the label in part to concentrate on his roster at Cast Management, which currently includes the Dropkick Murphys. At press time, Castelaz was unavailable for comment, but a source at Dangerbird said Sambora's record remains a priority.
"From the label perspective, everything is the same," says a source at the label.

Welcome to our next "Celebrity Chef" column. It is our pleasure to
introduce you to "Celebrity Chefs", Jean Charlton and her daughter Nicole.
Jean and Nicole created a simple but elegant dessert they named "Strawberry
Delight" when we asked them if they would like to be the next "Celebrity
Chefs". The dessert showcases fresh Ontario strawberries and tastes great.
"It's really light", states Nicole and her Mom adds, "pretty and simple to
make". The idea came from a recipe Jean tried many years ago but could not
Nicole laughed as she said, "quick and easy and hurry up and let's go".
That's the motto at their house, as like most farmers they are extremely
busy. Jean and her husband Murray milk 40 cows and cash crop. Their
daughters Jennifer and Nicole help out as much as possible.
In 2010 they became the third farm in Brant County to move to robotic
milking. Most dairy producers milk twice a day (morning and night). A
robotic milker is a voluntary milking system operated by a computer. When
the cows are ready, they move into the milking area and the robotic milker
takes over. It performs all the jobs that the Charlton's used to do
manually. According to Jean it helps to reduce the workload and gives them
more flexibility. "It works for us and is cost effective" she said, adding
that she thinks more small to medium size dairy farmers will use this
technology in the future.
Nicole is a second year student studying nursing at Western University. She
likes to cook and experiment and try new recipes. "We just experimented and
it worked" she said.
So if you are looking for a quick and easy dessert ...here it is. Enjoy! Be
sure to check out www.bountifulbrant.ca to find a listing of local farmers
who have fresh Ontario strawberries for sale and/or offer pick your own.

Remember when pay phones were cool? Okay, well maybe not cool, but at least necessary.
There was a time when people would walk miles (after their car broke down) to use a pay phone. The sight of those beauties would bring joy and hopefully a tow truck.
Now they bring a sinking, depressing feeling and a strong desire to put them out of their misery.
But no more, thanks to a new initiative in New York City. The city has converted 10 public pay phones in three boroughs into free Wi-Fi hot spots.
Okay, so it may not be exactly like the old days, but it's a start. Pay phones will bring new hope to those whose Internet is on the fritz. Those permanently attached to their laptops and tablets will have an alternative to the usual coffee shops and other assorted cafes.
And if your cellphone dies, help is just a short walk away…assuming you can remember anyones' numbers.

…just for fun:

I have visions of crowds of 20-somethings huddled around old pay-phones, struggling to connect to the internet, wondering why the hot spot is so large and so "antiquey"…
What's to happen to Dr. Who in the future? Will he also transport via the internet rather then a TARDIS?
And where is Superman to change? -
Not to worry. You are not a complete nerd. If you were, you would have pointed out that the TARDIS only looks… like a Police Box (with a phone). Things are rarely as they appear. Nice job on the "(with a phone)" bit. You should aspire to be "The Complete Nerd," as that designation gets you half off comic book purchases and comes with several nifty accoutrements.
I think we know who the complete nerd is.

Revised norms send clear signal on sex abuse: Vatican official
CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE VATICAN CITY - The Vatican has revised its procedures for handling priestly sex abuse cases, streamlining disciplinary measures, extending the statute of limitations and defining child pornography as an act of sexual abuse of a minor. Vatican officials said the changes allow the Church to deal with such abuse more rapidly and effectively, often through dismissal of the offending cleric from the priesthood. As expected, the Vatican also updated its list of the "more grave crimes" against Church law, called delicta graviora, including for the first time the "attempted sacred ordination of a woman." In such an act, it said, the cleric and the woman involved are automatically excommunicated, and the cleric can also be dismissed from the priesthood. Vatican officials emphasized that simply because women's ordination was treated in the same document as priestly sex abuse did not mean the two acts were somehow equivalent in the eyes of the Church. "There are two types of delicta graviora: those concerning the celebration of the sacraments, and those concerning morals. The two types are essentially different and their gravity is on different levels," said Msgr. Charles Scicluna, an official of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation. Sexual abuse of a minor by a priest was added to the classification of delicta graviora in 2001. At that time the Vatican established norms to govern the handling of such cases, which were reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The norms affect how Church law treats sex abuse cases; civil law deals with the crime separately. UNIVERSAL LAWThe latest revisions, approved by Pope Benedict May 21 and released July 15, for the most part codify practices implemented through special permissions granted over the last nine years and make them part of universal law. The Vatican spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, said publication of the revisions "makes a great contribution to the clarity and certainty of law in this field, a field in which the Church is today strongly committed to proceeding with rigour and transparency." The norms on sexual abuse of minors by priests now stipulate:
In 2003, two years after promulgating the Vatican's norms on priestly sex abuse, Pope John Paul II gave the doctrinal congregation a number of special faculties to streamline the handling of such cases. original provisions The new revisions incorporate those changes, which were already in practice:
The revised norms maintain the imposition of "pontifical secret" on the Church's judicial handling of priestly sex abuse and other grave crimes, which means they are dealt with in strict confidentiality. protect everyone's dignity Lombardi said the provision on the secrecy of trials was designed "to protect the dignity of everyone involved." The spokesman said while the Vatican norms do not directly address the reporting of sex abuse to civil authorities, it remains the Vatican's policy to encourage bishops to report such crimes wherever required by civil law. "These norms are part of canon law; that is, they exclusively concern the Church. For this reason they do not deal with the subject of reporting offenders to the civil authorities," he said. The new norms treat a number of other delicta graviora connected with sacramental issues. On the "attempted ordination of a woman," the norms essentially restated a 2008 decree from the doctrinal congregation that said a woman who attempts to be ordained a Catholic priest and the person attempting to ordain her are automatically excommunicated. The norms address violations against the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist. One norm explicitly extends the crime of violating the seal of Confession through use of modern technology - by recording Confessions or making any such recording public through social communication media. |

WASHINGTON — It's not just the government that might be keeping tabs on you. Many retailers are tracking you, too – or at least your merchandise returns. The companies say it's all in the name of security and fighting fraud. They want to be able to identify chronic returners or gangs of thieves trying to make off with high-end products that are returned later for store credit. [...]
Many buyers aren't aware that some returns, with and without receipts, are being monitored at stores that outsource that information to a third-party company, which creates a "return profile" that catalogs and analyzes the customer's returns at the store. [...]
"There should be no secret databases. That's a basic rule of privacy practices," says Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. "Consumers should know that information is being collected about them." [...]
"Most people think when they hand over a driver's license that it's just to confirm identity and not to be kept to be used for future transactions," says the Federal Trade Commission's Bob Schoshinski, assistant director at the agency's division of privacy and identity protection. "It shouldn't be that a third party is keeping a profile on someone without them being informed what's going to happen when they hand over their driver's license or some other information to a retailer."
In some cases, the disclosure by retailers is conspicuous. In others, not so much.

My goal for yesterday was to makeover my sad little chair that I bought last Saturday and turn it into a beautiful accent chair for my bedroom. I already had the paint, primer, and fabric, I just needed the motivation to get going.
This was a fairly easy project. I just had to rip off one layer of old fabric, which I did with a flat head and a hammer. At first, I tried with only the flat head and ended up stabbing the inside of my hand, fun stuff. But once I got going with the hammer, it was easy peasy!
After that I wrapped an extra layer of fluff to give it a little more cushion and then stapled my beautiful pink damask fabric in place.
I then painted one coat of primer and one coat of white semi-gloss paint.
I wiped the edges slightly to create a sort of antique look.
The project was a lot of fun and I just love how my chair turned out!!

Kevin Sherrington answered questions in a chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
I can't recall the last time I saw Robbie Ross see any significant action. And more than a few arms in the pen could stand a breather. Aside from Feliz, maybe Kirkman, possibly Tepesch, and considering that Round Rock is not a playoff team, do you see any other relievers from AAA possibly being promoted next week?
Kevin Sherrington: Wilmer Font will get the call at some point. Scheppers' performance last night was a huge relief, so to speak. He'd looked awful the previous couple of of outings. As for Ross, he's been ineffective against lefthanders all year. I believe they're hitting better than .400 off him. The bullpen has been the team's strength, and I think it still could be. If they get Feliz and Kirkman back, and Soria continues to show progress and the other guys hold up, I think that's plenty.
Doesn't look to me like the Rangers are missing Nellie Cruz at all. Do you think he will be back next year or is he gone?
Kevin Sherrington: I'd say it's 50-50. This team is doing a good job manufacturing runs, but every team can use power. Cruz is 34, and now he's coming off this suspension, so he might be available at a good rate. I'd give him two years with a club option for a third for, say, $8-$10 million a year. It doesn't tie him up long term, but just long enough for some of the Rangers' power bats in A-ball to grow up a little. There's nothing else on the immediate horizon.

easitNETWORK is a powerful working partnership designed to support and encourage the most influential businesses in a local area to adopt alternative and sustainable transport behaviours to reduce pollution, ease congestion and increase satisfaction within its staff base
By bringing together the major employers in an area, easitNETWORK generates a critical mass, enabling the introduction and use of far more initiatives that could not necessarily be taken up by one of the organisations alone. The benefits of this approach are in establishing a working partnership, creating a sense of community and a sizeable group that is more effective in lobbying for changes to public transport provision, generating funding for new initiatives and creating a better sense of community. Since launching in 2005, easitNETWORK has grown to represent over 100 businesses employing over 500,000 staff across the South East!
A new report* shows that those companies taking the threat of climate change seriously experience a stronger stock market performance, and have provided investors with approximately double the average total return over the last six years. While some companies fail to invest in reducing their footprint because of concerns about the payback time, the report actually shows that 59% of projects, ranging from energy efficiency to staff behaviour change, had covered their costs within three years.

This is a very fine route. The rock is the second small buttress to the left of Hitler's Sex Life, identified by a steep slab that is slightly tilted to the right, and about 100 yards up the loose trail from the road. Four well-spaced bolts lead up and right on crimpers to a chain anchor. The first bolt is a bit off the deck and is a tip-toe reach from the stance (for me at 6'1"). Descent: I ran the rope through the anchor and lowered off, but it might be best to belay from the top and walk off to avoid rope drag. Also, the route would have to be climbed twice to clean it so keep this in mind.
4 quickdraws.
It is possible to clean from the anchors, it just takes a little work. One of the jugs to the left of the first bolt creaked a little. Be careful yarding on it before you get the first clip.
This is a great winter route as it gets lots of afternoon sun. Short route but very high quality.

No Airbus A-3XX Equity Investment Planned by Lockheed Martin
BETHESDA, MD, May 10th, 1999 -- Sources cited in a Seattle Times article published May 9 are misinformed in speculating that Lockheed Martin is considering an equity investment in the Airbus A-3XX commercial airliner program. Lockheed Martin has consistently stated that it does not intend to invest shareholder equity in the Airbus A-3XX program. Lockheed Martin's senior management continues, however, to talk periodically with their counterparts from European aerospace companies about the possibilities of working together on programs of mutual interest, such as new military airlifters or as a subcontractor for components of Airbus commercial airliners.

SALISBURY BRING IN McPHEE AS PLAYER-COACH
Blue Square Bet South club Salisbury City have announced the signing of Chris McPhee from Torquay United.
The 29-year-old brings a wealth of experience, having played over 300 games in the Football League and Blue Square Bet Premier. The versatile player has also received international recognition, having represented the England Non-League team in 2008 the same year he scored the winning goal in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley for Ebbsfleet.
McPhee (pictured) will be joining the club as a player/coach and will be using his extensive experience to help the younger players in the squad.
Manager Darrell Clarke said: I am over the moon to bring someone of Chris ability and experience into the squad.
Players of his calibre do not become available too often, and we have beaten off several high-profile clubs to get his signature. Its a huge bonus that Chris will also be assisting me and Mikey on the training ground.
Id like to thank the Board for their continued support, and were all very excited about starting the season.
McPhee told the club's website: Im really looking forward to a new challenge on a few different levels.
Its been a strange summer, as I thought I would probably be going out on loan somewhere this season. After speaking to Salisbury, I believe this is the best move for my future and I am excited about working with the Gaffer and Mikey.
The season cant come soon enough and Im really keen to get started. I am delighted to be able to help push this club forward both on and off the pitch and develop the young players at the football club.

Not Rated
New Zealand
Not Rated
No taglines exist for this title.
A homeless vigilante blows away crooked cops, pedophile Santas, and other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shotgun.
Opening scene makes you think this is a movie right out of the 60s/70s as the cheesy audio rolls in with a man riding on a train after he gets off he is exposed to a town gone mad as there is rampant crime everywhere and watches at the mayor beheads a man and makes everyone watch. Rutger tries to ignore the horrific things going around him as his one true goal in life is to own a lawnmower, but the only way he can get money is by eating broken glass as a twisted camera man films it for a more brutal version of bum fights. Armed with the $50 he needed to buy a lawnmower Rutger goes to buy it when the store is robbed, after seeing one of the men point a gun at a baby Rutger is over powered by his sense of righteous justice and grabs a shot gun off of a stand, right next to the lawnmower, and blows all three men away and then pays for the gun and promptly goes on a cleaning spree taking out whoever he deems bad enough to killand its not a short list. After 10 or so kills the mayor gets fed up and then he starts to take out his lackeys, I mean sons, and they have a show down and all too quick its over, but I dont want to give anything away.

About 110 Alliant Energy workers from Iowa and Wisconsin departed Sunday. They planned to stage in Scranton, Penn., on Monday evening, out of the worst of the storm, and then proceed to Lake Katrine, N.Y., to help Central Hudson Gas and Electric customers. The crews have packed for a two-week stay.
The storm was expected to make landfall in New Jersey or Delaware on Monday evening. East Coast utilities have requested several thousand line mechanics and tree clearance crews from across the country.

Betting on Famine: Why the World Still Goes Hungry
Jean Ziegler
New Press, 2013 ($26.95)
Nearly one billion people throughout the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. This shameful statistic stems not from a failure of agriculture, technology or science but from inhumane and shortsighted politics, contends Ziegler, a former special rapporteur for the United Nations. In grim detail, he explains hunger's high human and economic costs. He also investigates hunger's modern, geopolitical causes, drawing from recent examples such as the sanctions against Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule, in which the international community withheld food and medicine on the grounds that the supplies could be used by Iraq's military. As a result, several hundred thousand Iraqi children needlessly starved to death. Preventing hunger is possible, Ziegler argues, if the world recognizes that access to food is a basic human right.

text: The University of Manitoba acquired its first and most important literary manuscript collection in the early 1960s when the papers of the famed Canadian prairie writer Frederick Philip Grove were offered by his widow Catherine Wiens Grove (Mss 2, Finding Aid). As fully documented in the D. O. Spettigue Research Collection (Mss 57, acquired in 1986 & 1995), "FPG" was born Felix Paul Greve, a minor German author & highly prolific translator who faked his own suicide in 1909 to start a new life in America. Before he appeared as Grove in Manitoba in 1912, he had abandoned his first wife Else near Sparta, Kentucky. She became well-known as Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven (FrL) in New York dada circles surrounding Man Ray & Marcel Duchamp at the same time Grove emerged as a Canadian author from Rapid City, MB, in 1922. Apart from the Spettigue Collection, Grove's papers are further supplemented by the Margaret Stobie (Mss 13) and the Divay (Mss12) research collections. An FPG (Greve/Grove) & FrL Endowment was established in 1996, and a website devoted to these collections has been in existence since then. Since the 1960s, the Libraries have obtained the papers many more authors, poets, novelists, critics and journalists including Ralph Connor (i.e., C. W. Gordon), Dorothy Livesay, Eli Mandel, Henry Kreisel, Margaret Avison and John Newlove. Archives & Special Collections also houses the business records of the following prairie literary presses: Turnstone Press of Winnipeg, Thistledown Press of Saskatoon, and NeWest Press of Edmonton. Considering the number and completeness of the collections pledged and available, the Department now ranks as a leading research centre for the study of western Canadian literature.

January 25th, 2012 by J
Why is it the end of an era? Well perhaps I should start at the beginning.
I have been thinking a lot the last week about a legacy. What it means, what it is and what resonates through time.
For me a legacy is not about what physical mark you make on the world it is about whom you are and the way you affect people through your life. Let me give you an example:
On the 31st November 1919 in a small mining village in Wales a little girl was born to a loving mother (housewife) and father (Miner), she also had a sister and a brother making up the small family. Not an easy life but a decent one.
Forward a few years and the young girl has grown and matured into a young woman in 1930s London working as a PA. A few more years forward and she is now set to be married to a man approved of by her parents and Britain is on the brink of war.
Forward again, Britain is at war, husband to be is off abroad and the woman has fallen deeply in love with another man. A scandal! Thankfully the mans parents are more liberal than most and despite the protestations of her family the woman stays with her love.
Jump forward to the 1950's, a flat in Wandsworth London, the woman and her husband have a child, a little girl of there own. Life has changed and family ties have been rebuilt. Wife and husband will spend nearly 50 years in this flat, they will see London change around them, people come and go, and life long friends are made. Their child will grow, marry and have a child of her own.
For the next 50 years the woman will be a wife, mother, grandmother and great grand mother. She will have a career spanning 30 years, she will learn and teach the piano, she and her husband will travel to France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Turkey and she will even go by herself to Belfast in the 1990s. She will never learn to drive, She will walk every where, Make her own bread, Sing with her choir, She will loose her brother, her sister and her parents.
Most of all she will live and breathe every moment.
When time starts to take its toll on her husband she will nurse him for 2 years with no complaints until he passes on.
At this point a new chapter will open in her life, while scary she embraces.
Forward to 31st November 2009, the woman is 90. She now lives in a Small Village in Cornwall; she still walks 3 miles every day with her dog. Life is simpler now but no less active.
The woman still sings with a local choir, still goes the theatre with her new friends, and still goes for Sunday lunch at a local pub.
Forward to 31st November 2010.
At 91 she has been told by doctors that due to angina she really needs to stop the daily walk, but on her 91st with her family around her she still walks herself into her Birthday lunch.
Time has taken its toll on her appearance but not her mind.
Forward to 31st November 2011.
At 92 the woman is sharp as a nail as she gives her Great-granddaughter advice on her piano playing, and talks to her Grandson about the entire goings on in the village. She is tired but a fighter.
On the 15th January 2012 her grandson will visit her in a nursing home where she has been for 3 days. They chat for an hour about all that is going on in life until she says she is tired and he leaves her to rest.
In the early hours of Tuesday 17th January 2012 Iris finally succumbed to the tiredness that had been nagging her for the last two months and rest for ever more.
Iris was my Grandmother.
I and the generations that follow me through history are her legacy.
Rest easy now we will take it from here……

When Magic Came to Boren

Aug 2011
Hartland, MI
read the headlines next morning. The photos of the interior printed on the front page made me heartsick. The rich, red draperies hung in blackened rags. Gaping black holes yawned from the walls, streaked with smoke and soot. A couple of beautiful stained-glass windows were broken from the outside to allow the firefighters to get their hoses in. I burst into tears when I saw what was left of my hostess station, standing like a charred stump after a forest fire. True, the fire didn't destroy everything--the second floor was spared, and the gift shop was closed at the time, but the entrance and part of the main room were ruined; what the fire didn't destroy, the water from the fire hoses did. The floor was warped, and stains splotched the ceiling where the water hit.
Yet Criss was undeterred. Glowing with opimism, he stated to the press that the Magic Castle would be back in business in a week, two weeks at the latest. No arsonist was going to defeat him, no sirree! What does not destroy us makes us stronger, the only real failure was giving up, and other such positive peptalk were duly recorded by the press. In the grand tradition of "the show must go on", Criss stated that since he could not perform inside the Magic Castle, he would set up a stage and give outdoor performances, weather permitting, until the grand re-opening.
As cheerful as he sounded, the reality was that the insurance policy on the building did not cover acts of arson, only the water damage from the fire hoses. Criss would be paying for most of the repairs from his own pocket, which would eat into his profit margin. To defray some of the expenses, he decided to set up a "fire sale" of the merchandise from the gift shop. I was called in to work the cash register for a few hours every morning, to which I gladly agreed.
So, there I was, sitting in a sweltering tent in the early July heat, ringing up sales of marked down CDs, DVDs, jackets, t-shirts, jewelry, books, magic kits, playing cards, and other stock from the emptied gift shop, while contractors gutted the Castle. The smell of burned drywall and musty damp hung heavily in the air for days. I bought bottled water with me to keep myself from dehydrating during my shift.
Meanwhile, the search for the arsonist went on. The police found footprints leading away from the scene, worn athletic shoes, about a size ten male (I wear a size six female, so I wasn't sure how big that really was). In any arson case, the owner of the building is almost always the first to be suspected, incase it was insurance fraud, but the footprint was too small to be Criss', so he was cleared, as I knew he would. But it also cleared the female members of the CBB, including Mrs. Shook. As I had said before, Mrs. Shook could not have done it herself, what with her bursitis and all, but maybe they hired someone to do it for them, I wondered. They had the most motive in this case, as their conflict with Criss was well known throughout the county.
The week wore on, the odor of burnt gypsum replaced by the welcome smell of sawdust as the reconstruction went on, though the screech of power saws and incessant hammering was annoying. I kept telling myself, it won't be long, it won't be long, it'll be all over before you know it and everything will be back to normal. By Friday, the remainder of the fire sale was all but gone; Criss had marked the last of the merchandise half off, and die-hard bargain hunters snatched up what little was left. There would be no new merchandise brought in until repairs were complete, he said. In the meantime, I was laid off from work, unless I wanted to help with the repairs for minimum wage. Well, I still had to pay my share of the rent, so I agreed.
I admit, I am no Bob Vila, but I know which end of a hammer to hold, and can wield a paintbrush as well as anyone. I was glad to help; I loved the Magic Castle, and wanted to restore it to its former glory. Saturday found me in my ragged jeans shorts and threadbare shirt, rolling paint onto the new drywall in the main theater, trying to get more on the wall than on of my skin.
Nights bought crowds of people to Criss' outdoor theater. The mosquitoes kept everyone slapping their arms and necks despite our best efforts to repel them with sprays and foggers, and the grass was as dry as straw from the lack of rain, but there was one advantage--Criss could perform bigger, more spectacular illusions than he could inside the Castle. He could use more pyrotechnics (with the fire department waiting in the wings, just in case) and have more room to use his motorcycle in his act, a Harley-Davidson, the kind with the long chrome front axles, the kind the Hell's Angels favor. It did nothing to improve Criss' image with the CBB; they now accused him of being in a motorcycle gang as well as being a Satanist. Criss brushed it off, as he did all the other charges they leveled against him.
Yet, while all this was going on, police still had no clue as to the person who torched the Magic Castle, or, at least, did not reveal any details to the public. Still confident that the CBB was somehow responsible, I bided my time. Crimes were not solved in half an hour as on television. Evidence had to be examined, and that took time. I wanted to be absolutely sure as much as the police who the culprit really was.
Sunday came. No shows were scheduled, no painting to be done. I heard the new furniture was coming in to the Castle, but that was for tomorrow. I slept until eleven AM, then had breakfast so late that it could have been lunch. Brunch, maybe? Whatever. I picked up the Sunday paper and scanned the news. A headline on the sidebar grabbed my attention like a pair of hands:
Teen Confesses to Magic Club Blaze.
I read the article. Sure enough, the evidence pointed out that a fifteen year old former employee of the Castle had thrown two gasoline filled bottles into the main theater and the entrance after being fired by Criss Angel for smoking marijuana on the premises. His footprints matched those found at the scene of the crime, and a furthur search of his person uncovered a few ounces of pot. Presented with such damning evidence, he readily confessed. He was being charged with arson and possession of a controlled substance, and could face at least five years in a juvenile reformatory. Trial was set for August.
I was stunned. I had been so cocksure of the CBB being behind the fire, and now it turns out that some dopey kid smoking weed had been the arsonist. At least, I didn't make my accusations public, or I'd really be in hot water. But I was too proud to apologize to Mrs. Shook about it; I was still mad at them about the picnic, the petitions, and the negative press they gave Criss. And yet, there was still part of my mind that clung to the conspiracy theories I had formulated. Did the CBB pay him to do it? Was he blackmailed into it? Had he been brainwashed? Or was he just their fall guy?
I read the article again. No blackmail, no brainwashing, nothing of any kind, just a stupid potheaded kid who wanted some payback for getting himself fired for his own drug habit. He alone was responsible for the act.
I sighed. I had to admit it--I was wrong. The CBB was not involved in the fire. They had nothing to do with it whatsoever. They were completely innocent. The evidence absolved them of any blame. And I felt like a big fool over it. Mrs. Shook was right about one thing--when you jump to conclusions, you have to swim back. And I found the current hard to swim against.
Criss had been dead-on about the reopening; after a week, everything was good to go. Wednesday was the scheduled date for the newly restored Magic Castle to make its debut. I had my hostess uniform cleaned and pressed for the occasion, just like the first time. My new hostess station was bigger than the old podium; it was a semi-circle desk with room for a PC to replace the reservation book and seating chart, and a stool to sit on, giving my feet a much-needed break. Cushier couches replaced the vinyl benches in the lobby, and new track lighting brightened the entrance, for security reasons, Criss had explained.
Though I was more experienced in hostessing than I had been at the first opening in June, I was more apprehenseve. Would there be another backlash from the CBB? Would they picket the entrance outside again? I checked the emergency call button on the phone to reassure myself. Dags and his new partner, Brom (the old partner left to work at some night club in St. Georges after the fire), patrolled the area, Bluetooth phones planted firmly in their ears. The eye in the sky tirelessly scanned the premises.
Nothing to worry about
, I thought,
nothing at all. Everyone's going to have a great time, just like before. I told myself that Wednesday was going to be fine, nothing bad was going to happen, nothing at all.
Keeper of Criss' Bling.

I am trying to take what I have read about multilevel modelling and merge it with what I know about glm
in R. I am now using the height growth data from here.
I have done some coding shown below:
oxford.df <- read.fwf("oxboys/OXBOYS.DAT",widths=c(2,7,6,1))
names(oxford.df) <- c("stu_code","age_central","height","occasion_id")
oxford.df <- oxford.df[!is.na(oxford.df[,"age_central"]),]
oxford.df[,"stu_code"] <- factor(as.character(oxford.df[,"stu_code"]))
oxford.df[,"dummy"] <- 1
chart <- ggplot(data=oxford.df,aes(x=occasion_id,y=height))
chart <- chart + geom_point(aes(colour=stu_code))
# see if lm and glm give the same estimate
glm.01 <- lm(height~age_central+occasion_id,data=oxford.df)
glm.02 <- glm(height~age_central+occasion_id,data=oxford.df,family="gaussian")
# lm and glm give the same estimation
# so glm.02 will be used from now on
# see if lmer without level2 variable give same result as glm.02
mlm.03 <- lmer(height~age_central+occasion_id+(1|dummy),data=oxford.df,REML=FALSE)
# 1-pchisq(-3.408097e-07,1)
# glm.02 and mlm.03 give the same estimation, only if REML=FALSE
gives me the following output:
> mlm.03
Linear mixed model fit by maximum likelihood
Formula: height ~ age_central + occasion_id + (1 | dummy)
Data: oxford.df
AIC BIC logLik deviance REMLdev
1650 1667 -819.9 1640 1633
Random effects:
Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.
dummy (Intercept) 0.000 0.0000
Residual 64.712 8.0444
Number of obs: 234, groups: dummy, 1
Fixed effects:
Estimate Std. Error t value
(Intercept) 142.994 21.132 6.767
age_central 1.340 17.183 0.078
occasion_id 1.299 4.303 0.302
Correlation of Fixed Effects:
(Intr) ag_cnt
age_central 0.999
occasion_id -1.000 -0.999
You can see that there is a variance for the residual in the random effect
section, which I have read from Applied Multilevel Analysis - A Practical Guide
by Jos W.R. Twisk, that this represents the amount of "unexplained variance" from the model.
I wondered if I could arrive at the same residual variance from glm.02
, so I tried the following:
> var(resid(glm.01))
[1] 64.98952
> sd(resid(glm.01))
[1] 8.061608
The results are slightly different from the mlm.03
output. Does this refer to the same "residual variance" stated in mlm.03

Sports Roundup: Soccer teams continue to struggle
The Two Harbors boys soccer team held a 2-1 lead with 11 minutes left against Superior Thursday, but just couldn't hold on losing 4-2.By: Matt Suoja and Steve Gow, Lake County News Chronicle
Two Harbors boys soccer
The Two Harbors boys soccer team held a 2-1 lead with 11 minutes left against Superior Thursday, but just couldn't hold on losing 4-2.
The teams were tied 0-0 in the first half. In the second, the offensive flood gates opened. Superior scored the first goal in the 44th minute. Six minutes later Caleb Hamp-Sill scored to tie it and then Eli Hebl scored to give Two Harbors a 2-1 lead. Superior then rattled off three straight goals to take the win.
"Superior put constant pressure on the goal," head coach David Lukkonen said. "When they scored to tie it, that really deflated us."
Sam Strom had 16 saves for the Agates
Lukkonen said Hebl, who's in ninth grade, stepped up his game and scored "a big-time goal" giving Two Harbors a brief lead.
On Saturday, the Agates lost to Hayward 3-1.
Hayward had a 1-0 lead at the half and added another in the second half to make it 2-0. Then Hamp-Sill scored with six minutes left, which was followed up by another Hayward goal.
"We were very competitive in the game," Lukkonen said. "The defense stepped up."
Lukkonen said defender Steve Frikken shutdown Hayward's star player.
Two Harbors girls soccer
The Two Harbors girls soccer team fell to Cloquet 4-1 Thursday.
Two Harbors took an early 1-0 lead in the fourth minute with a goal coming from Ivie Brooks, but that's the only offense the Agates could muster. Cloquet fought back with three goals in the first and scored one more in the second to take the win.
The Agates topped Duluth Marshall 3-2 Monday.
"We played a much better game," head coach Jeff Peterson said. "We're heading in the right direction."
Two Harbors had a solid first half scoring three goals including two from Lacey Myrdal. Hayley Horgan also hit the back of the net as the Agates shut out Duluth Marshall in the first half. The Hilltoppers came back in the second half scoring two goals in the span of three minutes, but it wasn't enough.
Lucy Bukowski had nine saves in goal.
Peterson said a tough part of the team's schedule is forthcoming beginning with a home game against Apple Valley at 5 p.m. Friday.
Two Harbors football
The Two Harbors football team fell to Esko 24-7 Friday as Two Harbors was shut out in the first three quarters of the matchup.
"It was a frustrating loss as I was not pleased with how we played," head coach Tom Nelson said. "I give Esko credit as their intensity was at a greater level than ours and that showed in the outcome. After watching the tape we made some uncharacteristic mistakes at bad times and those mistakes were huge."
Esko carried an 8-0 lead into the half after a first quarter rushing touchdown and continued run the ball well in the second half scoring two more on the ground.
The Agates only score came at 1:38 left in the final quarter as Devin Nelson scored on a 4-yard run.
"We also lost Drew Fleck (RB/LB) for the season with an ankle injury and we need other kids to step up big as Drew was a very good player for us as well as a team leader," Nelson said. Fleck, a senior, recently painted his van to show team spirit.
Senior tight end Brandon Willemarck also injured his knee and the team is awaiting results on the injury.
"We have a very difficult stretch of games coming up and we have to step our play up greatly," Nelson said.
Two Harbors is at Deer River at 7 p.m. Friday.
Silver Bay football
The Silver Bay football team fell to 0-3 on the season with a 43-6 loss at Dolan Field in Mountain Iron to a very fast Mountain Iron-Buhl Rangers team.
The Mariners turned the ball over three times compared to two for the Rangers and deterred four drives via penalty. Passes were also dropped and overthrown.
The Mariners received the opening kickoff and moved 15 yards before they had to punt. Deven Rowe, of MIB, took a hand off from quarterback Ryan Buria on the team's first play from scrimmage, cut back and raced around the end for a 75-yard touchdown. The score remained at 6-0 after Cody Larson blocked the extra point kick attempt.
After a Mariner turnover, Jake Stevens got wide open behind the Mariner secondary and Buria found him for a 33-yard score and a 12-0 Ranger lead after one quarter of play.
A 64-yard run by Buria made it 20-0 at the half. Buria ran for two more in the second half and Rowe added another. The Mariners got on the scoreboard in the final quarter via a seven-play, 58-yard drive that saw Larson running it in from 3 yards out.
Larson led the Mariners with 77 rushing yards followed by Henry Mitchell with 47, Holden Panetti with 35, and Luke Thun had 28. Larson caught four for 37 yards and Panetti had two for 38. Thun was 7-of-19 for 75 yards. Panetti and Leif Maxwell recovered fumbles for the Mariners.
Two Harbors swimming
The Two Harbors swimming team defeated Cloquet-Esko-Carlton 101-67 at its home meet Thursday.
The junior varsity also won by a score of 101-73.
On Saturday, the Agates finished in third place at the Soderlind Invitational at Morgan Park Middle School against seven area teams.
Rebecca Ronning took first place in the diving event
while Jennie Dwyer won the 100-yard and 500-yard free events. The 400-yard free relay team (Brooke Fletcher, Mara Boulanger, Dwyer, and Ronning) finished second as did Boulanger in the 100-yard backstroke.
Emily Riemer finished third in the 200-yard individual medley while Boulanger took the same position in the 50-yard free. Fletcher finished third in the 500-yard free event.
Other top finishers included the 200-yard medley relay (Heather Fynboh, Boulanger, Riemer, and Dwyer) who placed No. 4, Fynboh (fifth in the 100-yard fly), and Riemer (fifth in the 100-yard breaststroke).
Two Harbors-Cook County cross country
After a week off and lots of tough hill training, the Two Harbors-Cook County Vik-
ings cross country team headed to the Eveleth Invitational Thursday where the girls team finished third and
the boys were fourth. There were 15 teams in the meet.
"Both the boys' and girls' teams have been showing a lot of progress, the girls working to replace the loss of 6-of-9 from last years' state meet team, and the boys patiently building a strong varsity team from our youthful team," head coach Chris Hegg said.
Anna Schield, of Two Harbors, had climbed up to fifth before being nipped in an exciting sprint finish, finishing sixth while Sara Schield finished 42nd with a time of 20:12. In the team standings, the girls finished behind Pequot Lakes and International Falls. Ailee Larson, of Cook County, won the event.
"After a big win in the Viking Challenge two weeks ago, we were anticipating another win, in pretty much the same fashion," Hegg said about the boys team.
Kieran Scannell, of Cook County, won the event with a time of 17:19. Josh Ensign, of Two Harbors, was No. 14 with a time of 19:13. Drew Christensen, of Two Harbors, finished the race at 22:43. The boys team finished fourth overall.
In the junior high race Owen Cruikshank and Fletcher Kasell, both of Two Harbors, ran the event in 11:17 and 11:23 respectively.
Two Harbors volleyball
The Two Harbors volleyball team lost 3-0 to Floodwood Thursday in three sets.
Sasha Fjeran had eight set assists while Kaley Peterson had four kills.
"We have played some really tough teams the last few games, but we have played really hard and given everything we had every game," head coach Brooke Chaffee said. "One thing that we need to improve on is cutting down on hitting and serving errors. We need to be smart hitters and recognize when we are out of position so that we can adjust and make a smart attack over the net and get the ball into their defensive holes."
On Monday, the Agates lost another to Hermantown in three sets.
Fjeran had a strong game with 14 set-assists while Peterson had two blocks and six kills. Sarah Stark also had six digs.
"I think our passing is improving, but our serve-receive is still causing us some difficulties," Chaffee said. "If they are serving well, we have a tendency to get down right at the beginning of a match. … We are all itching for a win and we will continue to work hard to improve as the season moves forward."
The Agates lost to Moose Lake-Willow River in four games Tuesday. Peterson had nine kills and three blocks while Fjeran had 14 set-assists and 11 digs. Madison Olson had six kills and five ace-serves.
Silver Bay volleyball
The Silver Bay volleyball team topped Wrenshall in three games Thursday.
On Saturday the Mariners played in a Barnum tournament. The team lost to McGregor in a close match 23-25, 23-25. Against Barnum, they lost in three games 25-19, 15-25, and 5-15. The Mariners also lost to Cromwell in two sets, 17-25, 16-25.
East Central defeated Barnum in the championship game of the tournament while Cromwell was third and McGregor placed fourth.

Too much egg nog or what?Posted Tuesday, December 27, 2011, at 11:38 AM
It was quite the weekend.
I was commanded to act like Frankenstein and my only form of communication was grunts and groans. I became a member of the Lollipop Guild (not much different than the size I really am) and sang the Munchkin song to my kids. And I watched as Austin portrayed a Southern preacher, announcing, "And all the brothers and sisters said, Amen" and later salute me and his siblings, saying, "yes, ma'am" and "yes, sir" each time we spoke to him. Later in the weekend, we became advice seekers. Marissa wondered what the best advice would be be if she were to ride a camel in the desert. Jordan wondered what advice we would offer to him if he were to juggle chain saws. Curt asked our advice on what he should do if wanted to become a Sumo wrestler. Austin wanted to leanr to knit and I was in search of the Loch Ness Monster. Giving advice for these situations was very important! It sounds like our family drank too much egg nog! Not the case! As a family we greatly enjoy playing board games together and we added a few new ones to our collection this weekend. "Quelf" was the first one that has crazy rules and stunts to perform, giving random a new name. The second was "Sounds like a plan" which allows us to not only be advice seekers but advice givers. What we like about playing these games is that it brings us all together; taking each of us away from the computer or TV. Another reason is that we laugh hysterically together with each other and at each other. We also enjoy the game "Cranium" and "Apples to Apples." Each Thanksgiving, the kids, even as they come home from college now, make sure they take part in a game of Monopoly, sometimes two, sometimes three games. They have the newer version than what I played as a child. Two hundred dollars to go past go was a great deal of money to me; today's version offers $2 million to everyone passing go. This higher priced version also means the cost to buy property is much higher as is rent charged to those landing on them. (I don't care for this game any more for that fact - there are too high of numbers to work with!) If you are into board games with your family as well and have not tried out the four I mentioned, you might want to. If you are not into sitting down with your family to play games, give it a try. I think you'll like it. |

28 April 2006
As promised, this week you get the chance to meet the pigeons that perform at the start of every show. This is the newest segment in the show and we have used these very special critters to add a bit of comedy to the introduction of the show.
Basically how it works is that our presenter (which is most of the time one of the entertainment crew), walks out into the Crocoseum at the start of the show and picks a few volunteers to help out. They then give a brief description of how the volunteers should call the birds to them. This is where it all goes wrong. On releasing the pigeons they just take off out of the Crocoseum never to return, and it doesn't matter how much the presenter tries to get them back, they just keep going. The crowd really seems to enjoy it and it gives us a lighthearted start to the show. Hopefully the rest of the birds in the show don't follow their example!
I should tell you that they aren't lost forever, they just fly home to their aviary elsewhere in the Zoo. In the photo this week you can see Jason, one of our newest team members, doing his first lot of talking in the Crocoseum (which is an effort in itself) and releasing our pigeons. Leading the way is Ebony and Ivory (the two white ones), Mufussa (the white and blue bird), and Bruiser (the brown one). Still to exit and not far behind are Spots and Skidz bringing up the rear. With their fast direct flying out of the Crocoseum they really are a fantastic flock of birds to have.

Indiana Pacers have issues to address
by Mike Wells, USA TODAY Sports
The Indiana Pacers were an upbeat group for a team whose season came to an end Monday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Should the Pacers have sulked after the Miami Heat eliminated them in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals?
They could have, especially after their 23-point beatdown. But the Pacers know there's a bright future ahead of them.
As the always-overly-positive coach Frank Vogel said with a smile at the podium: "Everybody in the country knows who the Indiana Pacers are now."
The Pacers, once the joke of the NBA for their off-court problems, continue their rise in the league.
A first-round playoff exit two years ago. An Eastern Conference semifinal exit to the Heat last year. And now a seven-game battle against the Heat this season.
But the Pacers have to get better if they expect to push — and overtake — the Heat next season.
That's why, with the end of each season, changes are bound to happen.
Here's a look at five question marks surrounding the Pacers this summer:
1. Will David West return? Will Danny Granger be healthy?
West, who stayed quiet about his upcoming free agency all season, didn't hold back Monday about his desire to return to the Pacers next season.
Teams will pursue West once free agency starts July 1, but the Pacers are his first choice.
"I'm not (expletive) dumb, I don't plan on going anywhere," West said. "These are my guys."
The Pacers will be about $7 million under the salary cap with some exceptions that will allow them to exceed the cap.
Granger, who missed all but five games this season, has six to eight weeks of rehabilitation to go after surgery to remove scar tissue in his patella tendon and is confident he'll be ready for training camp and expects to return to the starting lineup.
2. Improve the bench
The Pacers tried — and failed — to improve their bench last summer. The bench was one of the worst in the league. It's a good thing the starters were so tied in together that they were able to overcome the inconsistent play of the reserves.
The bench failed to produce again in the … [For more on Indiana Pacers have issues to address, click here.]

Are Latinos a separate race?
These are the people who won´t let Anne Coulter speak.
Another taxpayer funded whackadoodle...
When in reality, balck/Latino violence is the norm.
As long as we are engaging in baseless speculation to promote a political agenda, then I warn that Latinos may attack white women, assault your white daughters, and invade white domiciles and seize their property. La Raza is a subversive organization, bent on takeover of the USA.And my statement is as (in)valid as Linda Alcoff´s.Sheesh. What a numbskull.
How helpful.
These are not the words of wisdom one expects and is entitled to hear from a professor of philosophy. What a shame. What a scholarly disgrace. But how typical of academia today. One is reminded of Julien Benda´s 1927 short book, La Trahison des Clercs(The Treason/Betrayal of the Intellectuals). Benda observed that intellectual activity had become restricted to the rationalization of political hatreds and the quest for truth and wisdom and scholarship abandoned. The Communists and the National Socialists were gearing up for what we all know came next.Our academics today, many if not most of them, are unworthy of their sinecures and the trust that the American people have unwisely and for the most part unwittingly placed in them. Unless the universities are re-taken from the enemies of America and the West, our troubles can only grow and multiply. Our universities are the biggest threats to freedom of speech, thought, liberty of conscience, freedom of religion, individualism, critical thinking and traditional American values one could possibly imagine.
I don´t see a problem between whites and Latinos. White are more complacent and blacks now see themselves as the truly privileged people in the U.S. As soon as Latinos begin getting more privileges, and the kinds of jobs that currently go to blacks because Latinos are harder workers, the blacks will be the ones going against Latinos.
Liberal White Democrats will be losing their power and influence to the Latinos as will the Blacks too (ever hear about how the Latinos treat Blacks in prison?).Latinos aren´t likely to just let those Northeast white liberals keep all the power positions in the Democrat party.
People actually pay this braindead lady to teach their children.I guess she just got an overdose of the Obama liberal kool-aid, and couldn´t help herself from saying something stupid in public.
Us knuckle-dragging white conservatives don´t have time to have race wars with Latinos.We´re still too busy with our War on Women and our War on Gays to get around to Latinos.
The only race war will be started by the takers when they realize there ´ain´t no mo money´!
Will hanoi jane and comerade kerry lead the retreat?This was rejected by sasquatch and company
Are there even enough whites left in the NYC area for a race war against Latinos?Sheesh. It´s CUNY.Enough said.
Is she a member of La Raza?
PS I mow my own lawn.
First of all, the so called "La Raza" BS declaring "latinos" a separate race has no business being repeated in the MSM! Second, if there were to be a "Race" war of "Whites" against the "everyone else" crowd, it would end dreadfully for the "everyone else" crowd.This is nothing but the lefties flexing their new found muscles and sticking their chests out. It will, as usual for Socialist revolutionary rhetoric and hate mongering, cost innocent people their lives
Prof Alcoff, please go sell crazy somewhere else. We´re all stocked up here.
