Years Surfing: A lot. Haha, I started surfing when I was 7 so around 14 years.
Years Skateboarding: About the same as surfing.
Arbor Preferred Skateboard Quiver: Oso, Pocket Rocket and the new street decks.
Other Sponsors: Filtrate Eyewear, Prolite, Sexwax, Aframesurfshop and HX surfboards.
Please describe your style of surfing: Hmm, I don't really know how I would describe my surfing. I guess you could call it radical? If you don't take the risk, you don't get the reward.
Where is your favorite place to surf? That's a hard question because there is so many good waves in the world. When I'm around in Santa Barbara, my favorite waves are Sandspit and Rincon, both perfect barreling rights what's not to love. As for abroad, I think the Mentawai Islands definitely host some of the best waves on the planet.
Do you snowboard? Yes, and it's the sickest thing ever! I don't get to go to often, maybe once or twice a year, but there's nothing like fresh powder. It's seriously just like surfing.
If you could pick four people to go surf with, who would they be and where would you go? Only 4? Haha... that's way to hard I'd want all my friends to come.
Mac or PC? MAC LIFE
Would you rather be smart and ugly or dumb and beautiful? Smart and Beautiful haha.
What is your worst habit? Biting my nails when I'm nervous. It sucks

Heat wave ends, wild weather storms through
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Strong thunderstorms across the Bay State Friday caused damage to some homes.
A bolt of lightning touched off as firefight at a home in Natick.
"It was just engulfed and really scary," said Heather Zwirblia.
A Worcester home was attacked by a fast moving fire after a lightning strike.
"I was out on my front porch and I heard this really loud crack it made me jump. Normally I'm not jumpy from lightning but that was terrible," said Zwirblia.
The homeowner and his family weren't home, but he returned just in time to see the fire dept pulling up and his house in flames.
"I can't stay here no I need to call Red Cross some place to sleep," said Jose Atta, homeowner.
To make matters worse, part of the roof came crashing down.
"There was so much water and it got wet. There's not a lot holding the wall board up. We were pulling a little bit to get up to look and it all just came down as one big -- the whole living room just dropped," said Dep. Chief Stuart Howe, Worcester Fire Department.
Even after the fire was out, lightning was still scaring everyone:
"We saw the fire," said Zwirblia.
It was similar scene in Natick. The wild weather caused some major damage to a home.
A neighbor who took video says a lightning strike started this fire. The family wasn't home.
And in Boylston, there was a close call with the lightning -- people living inside the house say a worker in the back yard was nearly hit by a bolt. They say it hit nearby. The victim only suffered some minor injuries.

Last of Their Kind
Airplanes without equal at the National Air and Space Museum.
- By Patricia Trenner
- Air & Space magazine, August 2012
Eric Long
Curtiss R3C-2
Even encumbered with floats, the Curtiss R3C-2 was a speed demon. With Jimmy Doolittle at the controls, the seaplane version of the R3C-1 land racer won the Schneider Cup Race, held in Baltimore in October 1925, with an average speed of 232.57 mph. The next day, Doolittle set a straight-course record of 245.7 mph. The R3C-1 had won the Pulitzer Trophy Race just two weeks earlier, at nearly 249 mph. Transferred from the War Department in 1927. Restored by the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force while on loan. Sole survivor.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the decision to put the Wright Flyer on the floor instead of hanging it in the main entry hall. When I saw it in October 2011, I was delighted. I could walk all around it and almost touch it! What a treasure!!

Hetherington helps HCC break CowleyThe way things were going for Hutchinson Community College sophomore forward Melissa Hetherington, she was wondering if it was possible for her to score a goal against Cowley goalkeeper Caitlyn Cosme.
A player with 54 career goals before Wednesday's game at the USD 308 Complex, Hetherington often finds a way to score against the toughest defenses and the best goalkeepers. Six minutes into the second half, Hetherington had a one-on-one breakaway against Cosme. Cosme made a save. Then about five minutes from the end of regulation and the score tied, Hetherington again was alone with Cosme. Hetherington blasted a shot, but Cosme made a tremendous save with her left leg. Showdown No. 3 came seconds later. This time, Hetherington slotted a left-footed shot past Cosme, and the top-ranked Blue Dragons survived for a 2-1 win. "Their goalkeeper was really good," Hetherington said. Yes, Cosme was magnificent. She had 12 saves, three coming on breakaways. "She played brilliant, in fairness to her," said HCC coach Sammy Lane, a former professional goalkeeper. "That was probably the best goalkeeper performance I've seen against us in a long while. She kept them in it and in it and in it, and that's how you beat a team like us. You work hard, you have a good goalkeeper and you get that one chance and finish it." Hutchinson (11-0, 10-0 Jayhawk Conference) dominated most of the game, getting 14 shots on goal to four for Cowley. The Blue Dragons could have had a three-goal lead at halftime with a little more luck and accuracy. Instead, all Hutchinson had was freshman Danielle Sheehy's 30th-minute goal, when she collected a long pass from freshman Courtney Gahagan and blistered a shot by Cosme for her 28th goal. "It's scary when you don't score a goal in the first five minutes like we usually do," sophomore defender Isa Whitley said. "When start passing right, that's when we score." Hutchinson had another dominant stretch at the start of the second half, but then the resilient Tigers (7-3-1, 6-3-1) earned a free kick in the 58th minute near midfield. Kierstyn Legg launched the ball into the Hutch penalty box, and defender Jamie Smith got her head to the ball, but the ball went past goalkeeper Eunice Figueroa and into the goal. That was just the third goal the Blue Dragons allowed this season. "We told (Smith) to keep her head up," Whitley said. "A defender's biggest fear is scoring an own goal, but it happened and we had to fight through it. "Jamie always has my back in case I missed (the ball). Jamie is a solid defender." Cowley quickly gathered all the momentum and confidence, and was the better team for the next 20 minutes. Figueroa made a stellar save in the 67th minute, tipping Morgan Steltzlen's shot over the crossbar. But Hutchinson settled down and seized control late. Sheehy rattled the crossbar for the second time in the game in the 81st minute. Five minutes later, Hetherington had a great chance to deliver the game-winner, but Cosme stopped it. Seconds later, Sheehy had the ball and began slaloming through the Cowley defense. One defender actually grabbed Sheehy, but she shook free and delivered a pass by the defense to Hetherington. Again, Hetherington had a chance to win the game. "Everything was going so fast, but it was a great ball by Danielle," Hetherington said. "She could have gone and scored by herself. I took a left-footed shot, and I was lucky it went in." The Blue Dragons' celebration was joyous with a little relief mixed in. They still have not lost a home conference game since 2008. "I was ecstatic," Hetherington said. "It was just like last year against Butler." At last, Hetherington had solved the puzzle in front of the Cowley goal. blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

I've been looking to answer the question of proper EndoAmp Max dose timing. I can not tell from the study abstracts I've seen if PS (Phosphatidylserine serine) needs to be taken just prior to training, or if it has more of a cumulative, long-term, chronic effect where timing is not so important as long as you take it each day.
So far, it seems that you need to take it before the training bout (60-90 min.?) in order to benefit from the cortisol reducing effects.
Could someone from PP--or anyone else with data--clear this up? What is the proper way to time EndoAmp Max dosing?

515 is my bib (if some care to follow along on the Leadville race site - they're supposed to have live tracking). Since the chip is in the bib (chronotrack system), we can't fold or cut the bib. I don't like this...have to have a big-ass bib number pinned to you all day.
Brandon Fuller had a nice little get together at his Leadville pad. He and his sister, Natalee, did a great job with it and it was nice to meet some of the local runner blog guys.
The mandatory briefing is in about an hour. Not big on crowded spaces and this will probably be over 1,200 people crammed into an old gym. I once sweated completely through a shirt and suit jacket at a ballet because it was so crowded, some sort of phobia I guess. I'll be near the door at today's meeting...
Will update twitter @insidetrail as warranted with words and photos.

Local publications extol Metropolis Performing Arts Centre's past performances, and Steadstyle Chicago excitedly anticipates After Dusk but Before Daylight. Four Metromixers give past shows a perfect five-star average, and five Yelpers give the venue four stars.
The Stained Glass Coffeehouse's concerts immerse audiences in the soothing euphonies of local and nationally known musicians in an intimate space. Tangleweed weaves a bluegrass twang into original songs and traditional ditties, getting feet stomping with old-timey aplomb. Guests take home a copy of the band's fourth album, Please Punch Richard for Me, keeping concert-formed memories alive or training a flock of parrots to imitate the singers' voices. Annie and Rod Capps couple the former's winsome vocals with the latter's deft instrumental accompaniment, and Kim and Reggie Harris caress ears with a songbook of folk music and African-American spirituals. Irish-American guitarist and singer Joe Jencks opens up hearts with soulful lyrics and crystalline vocals, and local artists open every concert, warming up audiences and melting heckling snowmen before headlining acts take the stage. The proceeds from each event will be donated to local and international charities.
The senses are stuffed with aural and visual excess as English tribute act Brit Floyd recreates the sonic mind expansion and visceral enlightenment of a real Pink Floyd show. The band of highly trained virtuosos and a quintet choir of chanteuses does justice to its subject like a jury of smitten rock critics, nailing every note and nuance of Pink Floyd's signature sound. Rollicking through all of The Floyd's epic oeuvre, the British band finesses a catalog of timeless hits, including "Wish You Were Here" and "Learning to Fly." The elaborate stage setup replicates The Division Bell tour, replete with metamorphic lasers and lighting, avant-garde screen projections, and a mammoth ocular stargate, giving fans the closest thing to seeing a Pink Floyd show without being miniaturized and injected into their uncle's subconscious.
Studio 3 Productions documents and enhances weddings with an arsenal of services that includes photography, videography, DJing, and lighting. A team of photographers and videographers carefully documents each wedding-day tradition, from the exchange of rings to the firing of the flower girl out of a cannon, producing keepsakes that range from simple scrapbooks to high-tech films replete with montages and other special effects. Meanwhile, the company's LED lighting can add pizzazz to receptions, with curious customers able to view a small-scale simulation in advance at the studio.
Alternatively, portrait sessions at Studio 3's studio or on location capture authentic flashes of subjects' personalities as they pose solo, with loved ones, or with pets. After shoots, the studio's framing services accent prints, equipping subjects with a high-quality wall decoration to replace their collection of unpaid parking tickets.
Helmed by Victor Muenzer, a Grammy-winning conductor and trumpeter, the Park Ridge Civic Orchestra breathes new life into classical masterworks, operatic favorites, and Broadway hits. Instead of hiring Shakespeare's ghost to run a kissing booth, the orchestra delivers two tributes to his most famous love story, Romeo & Juliet, in its "Valentine Romance" program. A cadre of soloists who have played with venerable Chicagoland and international orchestras make hearts swoon during Prokofiev's emotionally intense Romeo & Juliet, op. 64 and a star-crossed suite from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. In addition to performing a solo, local violist Dan Golden will premiere his latest composition, Eine Kleine Klezmer Musik, a danceable love song to Jewish music from Eastern Europe.

Product 319/588
I expected to find some malignant little monster waiting for me just on the other side. My hands hardened into claws. My cat's eyes shifted around in the dark. I was ready to attack, to feed if I had to.
But I found nothing like what I expected. I returned back from beast the moment I saw her, a tiny body wriggling in a pile of rags that did nothing to keep her warm. A mortal infant. Curious, I knelt over her and saw tear droplets quivering on her downy cheeks. Little auburn wisps from the top of her head shuddered in the breeze.
The child stared at me with large, glassy eyes. I looked around to see if there was anyone to claim her, perhaps from some horrible mistake they made by leaving her there. Alas, the street now was empty, and no one seemed to have remembered the lonely little being. I sighed and my gums began to throb with a familiar pain. I gazed down at her and could feel my pupils spread, engulfing my entire eye in black. She smelled so pure. Clean and completely uncontaminated, like breathing fresh air. Her blood would taste sweet, but I feverishly shook those demons from my mind.
I slid my long, cold hands underneath her and lifted her out of the crude nest of covers. The child cooed at me and looked wondrously at the world around us. Little noises continued to slip from her mouth. I watched her, rather surprised at myself. It was impossible—out of everything which existed in my horrible world of nightmarish things, this impossibly tiny human was the first thing in a hundred years that scared me. Me, the monster. I chuckled, despite my fear.
She peered up at my grave-marker face and continued to make slight, curious noises at me, naïve to our deadly differences. This innocent little mortal was so weak, vulnerable, and terrifying.
"I am not going to kill you," I convinced myself. Glancing around the square, a sign indicating the Charles Bridge caught my eye. "Charlotte." The name fit her so well. My decision had been made. Walking at a steady, human pace, all the while transfixed by her, I carried her away from the bushes, not taking my eyes off her for a second. I—we —made our way back home, into the deep woods of Bohemia.
I was to be alone no more.

The rebels have now emerged as a "quasi-professional army." He said their advances have made make it "much easier to impose a no-fly zone in the north of Syria" -- if that happens.
Yet, the Syrian military hopes to gain advantage with its superior firepower by locking down key urban centers, such as Damascus and Homs.
But Weiss notes that the government hasn't had a major military victory in the north of Syria for months, and the rebels have effectively encircled Damascus.
It also hasn't embarked on major ground offensives, like the one in Aleppo earlier this year. Such activity puts the army at risk of more defections and desertions.
Frustration, optimism
As analysts study every move by the rebels and government forces to determine Syria's endgame, the people living there -- some filled with hope, others mired in frustration -- want to know when it will end.
Echoing a common sentiment among many Syrians, a Syrian blogger in Homs, who calls himself "Big Al," says recent attempts by the international community are all too little, too late.
"Syrians are doing things on their own and no one will help them," he told CNN.
"The world watched and is still watching Syrians get slaughtered and did nothing and will continue to do nothing, so empty threats mean nothing to us," he said.
He dismissed recent reports that NATO had approved deploying Patriot missiles near the Turkey-Syrian border as an "empty threat." He also rejected the recent outcry over the threat of chemical weapons against Syrians, saying, "the only reason they're saying these threats is to pretend that they might actually do something and they won't."
"They only don't want chemical weapons to be used against Israel but I know, and everyone here knows, that if they were used against Syrians, nothing will happen and no threats will come true."
In Damascus, Leena remains optimistic about an impending rebel victory -- but she admits that the nearly two-year-long road to revolution has changed her and others risking their lives for a new Syria.
Back then, they were idealists, beginner revolutionaries.
"You want your freedom, democracy, better healthcare, work, education," she said. "We wanted dignity."
She loved her life before, but she is going to love it even more when the rebels win.
Because they will win, she insists. Soon.
"Haven't we shown that?" she asked. "Doesn't the world understand that by now?"

The All-American Girls' Professional Baseball League was founded in 1943, when most of the men of baseball-playing age were far away in Europe and Asia fighting World War II. The league flourished until after World War II, when, with the men's return, the league was consigned to oblivion. Director Penny Marshall and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel re-create the wartime era when women's baseball looked to stand a good chance of sweeping the country. The story begins as a candy-bar tycoon enlists agents to scour the country to find women who could play ball. In the backwoods of Oregon, two sisters -- Dottie (Geena Davis) and Kit (Lori Petty) -- are discovered. Dottie can hit and catch, while Kit can throw a mean fastball. The girls come to Chicago to try out for the team with other prospects that include their soon-to-be-teammates Mae Mordabito (Madonna), Doris Murphy (Rosie O'Donnell), and Marla Hooch (Megan Cavanagh). The team's owner, Walter Harvey (Gary Marshall) needs someone to coach his team and he picks one-time home-run champion Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), who is now a broken-down alcoholic. After a few weeks of training, as Dugan sobers up, the team begins to show some promise. By the end of the season, the team has improved to the point where they are competing in the World Series (which is no big deal, since there are only four teams in the league). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The last of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's three MGM features, Abbott & Costello in Hollywood is a loose remake of Buster Keaton's Free and Easy. Bud and Lou play a pair of Tinseltown barbers who dream of becoming high-priced showbiz agents. Their first clients are Frances Rafferty and Robert Stanton, whose careers may be over before they begin when A&C manage to antagonize powerful producer Donald MacBride and stuck-up film star Carleton Young. The plot serves only as a clothesline upon which to hang several sidesplitting comedy routines: Abbott teaching Costello how to give a shave, Lou vainly trying to get a good night's sleep, a "stunt man" bit involving the tremulous Costello and hulking Mike Mazurki, and a wild roller-coaster finale. MGM contractees Lucille Ball, Jackie "Butch" Jenkins, Preston S. Foster and Robert Z. Leonard make guest appearances. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Blonde from Brooklyn
The Blonde From Brooklyn is perky Susan Parker (Lynn Merrick), gainfully employed as a "jukebox singer", back in the days when jukebox patrons could request that their songs be performed live via telephone hookup. Teaming with showbiz-minded G.I. Dixon Harper (Robert Stanton), Susan passes herself off as a Southern belle in order to land a job singing radio commercials for a Dixiefied coffee company. The fun begins when Susan is mistaken for the heir to a Southern plantation, forcing her to keep up her "yew all"s and "sho' nuff"'s indefinitely. Director Del Lord (of Three Stooges fame) resurrects any number of old two-reel-comedy routines in this trivial Columbia musical. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Blondie's Lucky Day
Blondie's Lucky Day, indeed! Not only must Blondie Bumstead (Penny Singleton) put on a brave face when her husband Dagwood (Arthur Lake) is fired for the umpteenth time by Mr. Dithers (Jonathan Hale), but she must also tolerate the attentions paid to Dagwood by pretty WAC Mary Jane McDermott (Angelyn Orr). A whizz in business matters, Mary Jane sets up Dag in his own business, which replenishes the Bumstead coffers but which drives Blondie into a jealous frenzy. The film's highlight occurs early on, when Dagwood assumes Dithers' responsiblities for a single day--and makes a proper mess of things within five minutes. Blondie's Lucky Day was the 17th entry in the long-running film series based on the comic strip by Chic Young. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the tradition of This Is Spinal Tap, producer/ director/ star Tim Robbins' Bob Roberts is a satire disguised as a documentary. Robbins plays the titular Roberts, a wealthy, well-connected young man running for a senatorial seat in Pennsylvania. On the surface, Roberts is an ingratiating glad-hander, a sincere believer in the restoration of such intangibles as national pride, family values, etc. But the longer Roberts is followed about by documentary filmmaker Brian Murray, the more we become aware that the candidate is a textbook case of cynicism and contempt. Only Giancarlo Esposito, a reporter for an underground newspaper, is willing to dig beneath Roberts' veneer--a habit that leads to the film's ironic conclusion. Several well-known actors make cameo appearances as TV commentators, notably Tim Robbins' longtime partner Susan Sarandon. Bob Roberts started out as a Tim Robbins-directed short subject for the TV series Saturday Night Live, then was expanded into a $4 million feature. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Manhattan shopaholic (Isla Fisher) whose buying sprees have buried her in immense debt lands a columnist gig dishing out financial advice in this Touchstone comedy based on Sophie Kinsella's series of books. P.J. Hogan (My Best Friend's Wedding) directs, with producing duties being handled by Jerry Bruckheimer. Rebecca Bloomwood (Fisher) can't seem to break her habit for making impulsive purchases, and while she's always decked out in the latest styles, her credit card bills are as thick as a telephone book. If Rebecca could somehow manage to land her dream job at a high-profile fashion magazine, perhaps she could transform what is now a simple addiction into something that could really benefit her professionally. When Rebecca becomes an advice columnist at a financial magazine published by the same company as her favorite fashion magazine, her fresh approach strikes a chord with readers and she quickly becomes the toast of the town. Meanwhile, her bank account is still bone dry, wreaking havoc on her love life and placing her career in jeopardy. As Rebecca teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, she gradually begins to reassess her priorities in life. Joan Cusack, John Goodman, Hugh Dancy, and Krysten Ritter co-star in the Touchstone Pictures production. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

John Hughes continues the trend he began with the Home Alone series in Dennis the Menace, the Hughes-scripted film version of Hank Ketcham's long-running comic strip, cartoon show, and television comedy. The film opens as Dennis (Mason Gamble) is seen careening down a sidewalk in a beautiful and idealistic suburban town on his training-wheeled bike -- cans on string clattering behind him, baseball cards flapping in the spokes of the wheel, his red wagon filled to the brim and his dog following him. "Hey! Mister Wilson!" he screams and slams his bike to a halt in front of his much put-upon neighbor, Mr. Wilson (Walter Matthau). Half of the film concerns vignettes of small-town Hank Ketcham life as Dennis' mom Alice (Lea Thompson) starts a new job, Dennis stays over at his friend Margaret's (Amy Sakasitz) house, and Mr. Wilson and his gentle, well-meaning wife, Martha (Joan Plowright), mind Dennis during the night of a big garden party. Through all this, Dennis continually gets into Mr. Wilson's hair. But then the Home Alone plot kicks in -- with an unsubtle dose of O. Henry -- when Switchblade Sam (Christopher Lloyd) makes an appearance. Switchblade Sam is a homeless drifter who combs the neighborhood stealing purses and small home items. But when Switchblade Sam steals Mr. Wilson's collection of gold coins, Dennis comes to the rescue and inflicts Dennis the Menace-type tortures upon the thief in order to reclaim the coins for Mr. Wilson. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The second film to be made from Woody Allen's successful stage comedy (following a 1969 feature starring Jackie Gleason), Don't Drink the Water is a made-for-television adaptation directed by and starring Allen himself. The fish-out-of-water premise remains the same: Allen plays Walter Hollander, a caterer from New Jersey who takes his family on vacation to a fictional Eastern European country. The trip turns sour when, thanks to a series of misunderstandings involving some inopportune snapshots, they are accused of espionage. The family goes on the run, taking refuge in the American Embassy. There, with the help of a wily young diplomat, they try to figure out a way to return to America without sparking an international incident. Though this version is set 25 years later than the original film, the changes are mostly cosmetic: the visual style is hand-held and more frantic, and the script replaces numerous references to the Cold War with a few glancing nods to present-day politics. Another notable change, the addition of an opening montage parodying newsreels, was reportedly the result of network pressure after Allen's initial cut proved too short for the planned time slot. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Double Exposure: The Story of Margaret Bourke-White
This made-for-cable biopic originally went out under the simpler title Margaret Bourke-White. Farrah Fawcett stars as the famed photojournalist, whose work for Life magazine from 1936 onward gained her worldwide celebrity. The best scenes, showing the dauntless Bourke-White (Fawcett) at work in the most grueling and perilous of situations, are all too fleeting. The filmmakers evidently believed that the audience would be more intrigued by Bourke-White's stormy relationship with her husband, novelist Erskine Caldwell (played with a fluctuating Southern accent by Frederic Forrest). The film's chief assets are the well-focused performance of Farrah Fawcett, and the lensed-on-location sequences in Louisiana and Moscow. Margaret Bourke-White premiered over the TNT cable channel on April 24, 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Frasier: The Zoo Story
It is negotiation time again at radio station KACL, and Frasier's carnivorous agent Bebe Glazer (Harriet Sansom Harris) is prepared to pull out every underhanded trick in the book to secure a larger salary for her client -- and, of course, a bigger commission for herself. But Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) has decided to dispense with Bebe's services and put himself in the hands of a nicer and more scrupulous talent rep named Ben (Robert Stanton). Besides, the new agent has promised to arrange for a crane in the Seattle zoo to be named after Frasier! Alas, by the time this episode is over, our hero has been given "the bird" in an entirely different manner. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Can a high-attitude African-American politician who says what he thinks stand a chance in a presidential campaign? Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) is a straight-talking alderman representing a inner-city neighborhood in Washington, D.C. In the midst of a hard-fought race for the White House, the Democratic presidential and vice-presidential candidates are killed in an airline crash, and with little time to prepare a new campaign, the Republican candidate, Vice President Brian Lewis (Nick Searcy), seems all but guaranteed to win. With practically nothing to loose, party head Martin Geller (Dylan Baker) approaches Gilliam and asks him to stand as the Democrat's presidential candidate. While Gilliam is dubious at first, before long his streetwise style and willingness to face the issues head-on earns him surprising figures in the polls, especially after he persuades his short-fused older brother, Mitch Gilliam (Bernie Mac), to join the ticket as vice presidential candidate -- a big jump for a bail bondsman. Gilliam's love life also becomes more complicated as his ex-girlfriend Kim (Robin Givens) decides she wants him back now that he has a shot at the White House, even though Gilliam only has eyes for Lisa (Tamala Jones). Head of State marked the directorial debut for comic and actor Chris Rock, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Schlock producer Jerry Gross rescued this previously-unreleased 1964 clunker (originally titled Voodoo Blood Bath from utter anonymity, saddling it with a meaningless (but cute) new title for a now-legendary drive-in double bill with I Drink Your Blood. Whereas its companion film has gained a sordid reputation for being one of the first films ever to be branded with an "X" rating by the MPAA solely for graphic violence, this limp zombie nonsense bears no such mark of distinction. The story is set on a lush tropical island where a writer (William Joyce) arrives in search of material on voodoo legends for his latest novel. He eventually stumbles onto the secret laboratory of a mad scientist whose experiments with reversing the aging process have been turning his native subjects into bug-eyed, papier-mâché-faced zombies. Despite this daunting side-effect, the doc goes right on with his experiments, zombie numbers keep growing, and the natives are growing seriously restless. So restless, it turns out, that they are prepared to sacrifice the scientist's pretty daughter (Heather Hewitt) in retaliation. Not even silly enough to be amusing, this one is just plain dull. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Law & Order: Seer
The detectives are skeptical when Tim Grayson (Robert Stanton), a self-proclaimed psychic, insists that he has envisioned the murder of his attractive neighbor, who is found beaten to death outside a sex club. The fact that Grayson is the archetypal misfit loner, coupled with the discovery of his shoe print at the crime scene, is enough for the DA's office to draw up murder charges against him. But though Assistant District Attorney McCoy (Sam Waterson) is confident of a conviction, it turns out that just appearing to be guilty as hell isn't quite enough -- and that there are radically different degrees of "guilt." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The strong anti-China beliefs of actor and political activist Richard Gere were evident in this Hitchcockian thriller that sought to expose the civil and human rights abuses of that country's legal system. Gere stars as Jack Moore, counsel to a large media conglomerate seeking to open trade relations with China, thereby delivering American television shows by satellite to the largest untapped market in the world. After an evening out at a nightclub and fashion show, Jack goes home with a beautiful model (Jessey Meng), then wakes up the next morning to discover her dead body. To his horror, Jack is accused of murdering the girl, who is revealed to have been the daughter of a high-ranking general. Assigned a court-appointed lawyer, Shen Yuelin (Bai Ling), Jack discovers that the repressive Chinese court system does not grant bail, encourages quick guilty pleas and executions, and looks upon him with disfavor for his Western moral turpitude. Finally persuading Shen that he's innocent, Jack and his lawyer embark on an investigation impeded at every turn by Chinese authorities, eventually uncovering a plot to discredit Jack and his company's entry into China. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Based on Carl Hiaasen's satirical novel, Striptease tells the story of Erin (Demi Moore), who has just gotten a divorce from Darrell (Robert Patrick), the sleazy ex-con she foolishly married. However, the judge's memories of Darrell's days as a football hero win him custody of their daughter, and Erin, concerned for her child's safety, is determined to fight the decision. Erin has just lost her position as a secretary for the FBI, so, to cover her legal bills, she takes a job as an exotic dancer at a strip club called the Eager Beaver. While she has no experience taking off her clothes in front of an audience, Erin soon makes friends with the fellow dancers and finds a protector in the club's burly but good-hearted bouncer, Shad (Ving Rhames). She also makes a few fans among the regulars at the club, most notably David Dillbeck (Burt Reynolds), a drunken lout with a bottomless appetite for sleaze -- who also happens to be a conservative congressman with ties to right-wing religious groups. One of Erin's admirers snaps a photo of her with the congressman when a brawl breaks out at the club, and he suggests that it would make fine blackmail material. However, when the man with the photo turns up dead, Erin discovers that Dillbeck's people play a bit rougher than she expected. The home video version of Striptease contains two minutes of footage that was clipped from the theatrical release in order to win the film an R rating. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bashir: "Okay, let's go over this. I come back from the vending machine, I've got my can of coke in hand, I find everyone dead, the lab in ruins, and your rifle smoking suspiciously. What do you have to say to this, Miles?" O'Brien: "I might be a replicant, or experiencing trauma after 20 years in jail. Or else my wife is being held hostage by a pah-wraith and I have to do what it wants". Bashir: *sigh*. And which of those excuses are we using this time, Miles?". Sisko: "So, Rugal. You take the blue father and the story ends. You go back to Bajor and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red father and you stay in Cardassia and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes". Dukat: "It goes deep, kid, believe me". "Play dead, Major! Eddington can't see you if you don't move!" Bashir: "The cave set's in that direction, but the matte painting is back the way we came." Jake: "I knew we shouldn't have left the promenade set".

Bashir: "The temporal accelerator retrograde dimension interstitial supercompensator console appears to have overloaded." O'Brien: "Look, you're British, I'm Irish, we both saw the TV show, let's call it a Tardis console, between us two. It'll save time." Sisko: "So a Bajoran, three Cardassians, and an Irishman walk into a bar..." everyone scowls "Wow! Tough crowd." Kira os: "What did you do to Quark? You just leave him to have free run of your security office?" Odo: "I had him hypnotised to believe that he's a mime. He's been in an invisible box for the last three weeks." Eddington: "They told us in security training not to use stun setting 1 on Bajorans... I wonder why..." ZAPPPP "Oh... ohh... that's not nice. Oh god. Oh no! I'm so sorry Major!

"Public service is always a sacrifice for a family, and in our city's council-manager form of government it is especially difficult to serve as mayor," Winder said. "Although the pay is part-time, the duties of the job of mayor have daily demands that make other employment very difficult. For the need of better providing for my growing family, I announce today that I will not be seeking reelection."
West Valley City's mayor is paid $35,000 per year, about 1/3 of the wage of mayors of Provo, Sandy, Salt Lake City and other cities of similar size.
The mayor said that he will complete his term of office that expires in January 2014 and will seek full-time employment for his post-mayoral career. "There is much work to still do this year, including hiring and working with a new police chief," Winder said, "and there has been so much progress over the past four years that our city can be proud of."
He points to ten specific achievements:
1) The turnaround of Valley Fair Mall, which added 300,000 square feet of retail and today has the #1 Olive Garden in North America and the most high tech movie theater in the United States.
2) Seeing TRAX come to West Valley City and leveraging transit to launch the half-billion dollar Fairbourne Station development, which includes a new Embassy Suites Hotel that opened this year.
3) Other economic development success, such as seeing over a billion dollars in private investment come to the city last year, over 4,000 jobs created by new or expanding businesses in four years, and bringing Petzl's North American headquarters to the city.
4) Improved and cleaned up neighborhoods, with code enforcement violations down, a 46% reduction of graffiti along major city corridors, and the first CNG fleet of garbage trucks in the state.
5) Crime dropping 11% in the city since 2009, with police calls at Valley Fair Mall down 75%, and strengthening the Professional Standards Review Board that oversees complaints against the department.
6) Three new parks created, with plans for more trails, a skate park, and a Jordan River park. A revamped golf course will open this summer.
7) Expanded programs and exhibits, and a new Chinese Heritage Gate at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center.
8) The city's animal shelter is on track to be the first city in Utah with a "no kill" shelter status.
9) Naming rights for the "E-Center" finally secured after 12 years, becoming "The Maverik Center".
10) Treating people with dignity, including championing an anti-discrimination ordinance to prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing and employment; and launching an English Language Initiative that has recognized nearly 1,000 immigrants who have completed English classes.
Mayor Winder was elected by his peers to be president of the Utah League of Cities and Towns, and chair of the Salt Lake Valley Conference of Mayors. In 2011, he was named "Best of State" mayor for Utah, recognized in City Weekly's "Best of Utah", and was a nominee for the Salt Lake Tribune's "Utahn of the Year."
Utah Business magazine has listed him as one of Utah's "Forty Rising Stars Under Forty." As mayor he also published a history book of the city.
Winder, age 37, served a term on the city council and four years as the city's
business development manager before being elected mayor. He and his wife, Karyn, are the parents of four children between the ages of five and fourteen. "I love this city and it is an honor to serve as mayor," he said, "I look forward to many more years of continued community service in various capacities."

"You just sit there and wait for something awful to happen," Simmons said of his time guarding the pool at Oak Hills Country Club in Clinton. "I only had to jump in once."
The Graves County High School senior said he prefers work that allows him to work closely with people, such as his position as a reading assistant at Central Elementary School. "I feel like we really made a difference in those kids' lives. Some of them don't get attention at home, or don't get read to ... it was great to be able to work with those kids," he said.
John Preston Simmons, son of Jay and Kim Simmons, is the Mid-Continent University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MCU Teen of the Week selected from nominees who guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois submit to the Sun. Mid-Continent University will provide each Teen of the Week with a $2,500 annual scholarship to its university, which is renewable for four years. In the spring, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners. The Teen of the Year is eligible for a full four-year scholarship to Mid-Continent University or a cash award of $2,500, paid through the Paducah Sun, if the student selects another college to attend.
From helping fellow Boy Scouts complete their Eagle Scout projects to mentoring freshmen at his high school, Simmons brings a compassionate touch to everything he does. "I really like being able to interact with people, and being able to help people at the same time," he said.
This attitude will prove useful as Simmons — who has received recognition as an AP Scholar with Distinction and a Governor's Scholar — pursues his post-secondary education. He hopes to major in a scientific field and then enter medical school. His top college choices are Yale University and Vanderbilt University.
"I'm not looking to have an easy college career," Simmons said. "I think it'd be great to be surrounded by people who love learning."
Call Laurel Black, a Paducah Sun staff writer, at 270-575-8641.
Teen of the Week — Nominations are accepted only from guidance counselors. — If you are interested in the scholarship program, contact your guidance counselor. — Nominations are reviewed by The Paducah Sun. — For questions contact Kendra Mitchell at 270-575-8625 or email@example.com.

Anyone know what a hoUse like This would rent for a week to vacationers on Kiawah? | |||
I think a $20.00 gold piece or two should do it. {Proud Member of the Flapjaw Club} ~♥~ ~♥~ | ||||
at today's gold price.... $1800 and up? And how many pieces of gold do you have in that pot? | ||||
Vinnie I know a good real estate firm onKiawah that has a lot of houses, villas, and condos available for rent. The price is highly dependent on time of year. Click out her web page Www.pamharringtonexclusives.com Mickeyww | ||||
click on front door realestate and click on rental and type in island name and see what things are renting for | ||||
sorry I didnt know you meant vacation rental | ||||
Here are the island vacation rentals according to VRBO. http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-r...ps%2fAscending#a4328This message has been edited. Last edited by: Windbag, | ||||
Mickeyww, thanks! Looks like comp properties are renting between $1400.00 and $3800.00 and the few I looked into, are heavily rented. Could only find a few open dates. So it you could rent 30 weeks a year at 2200.00 average, 66,000.00 off your personal expenses...and give ya 22 weeks of enjoying your DH.This message has been edited.

Those figures look very nice Vinnie if the winner choses to use it as a vacation home. HGTV was thinking of everything this year. *****Catch the Excitement***** ******Dreams and happiness to all my MB friends****** ~ ~ ♥ ~ ~♥ ~ ~♥~~♥~~♥ a flapjaw and a Sheltie collector avatar fan Real Friends Believe in Your Dreams | ||||
I think the Stowe house (2011) would have been the perfect vacation rental. With the bunk beds the house slept at least 12. Hideaways and air mattresses could get you to 20 pretty fast. Similar properties in the area rent for $2,000 - $10,000 per week. I don't know what you do at Stowe when you're not skiing but maybe the ski and holiday season could have paid expenses and left enough for a plane ticket to Vermont a couple times a year. I think the Stowe house would have had the best chances to pay for its upkeep and taxes that I have seen. | ||||
This year is also a tourist attraction. Much like Hilton Head just south of Kiawah, is a golfers Mecca. I know several different groups of men that head down every year to Hilton Head to golf for a week in the winter time. With five golf courses, Kiawah has that attraction too. And Kiawah is a family summer vacation spot, with the prices spiking in June through Aug. (the hottest most humid time of the year). I too hope the winner can handle the costs. | ||||
I would have a really hard time renting out the DH as a vacation rental. I have a number of vacation rentals now and people are really hard on the houses, especially groups of golf guys and families. This are missing, broken and damaged constantly and there are so many nice things in the DH... ~~~~Dream On!!!!~~~~ | ||||
That would be my concern as well Silly4houses. People just do not take care of things that belong to others.Renters can be rough on a house. *****Catch the Excitement***** ******Dreams and happiness to all my MB friends****** ~ ~ ♥ ~ ~♥ ~ ~♥~~♥~~♥ a flapjaw and a Sheltie collector avatar fan Real Friends Believe in Your Dreams | ||||
Vinnie Last summer the Ocean course was home of the PGA Championship and generated a lot of publicity for the island. I get a monthly newsletter showing the real estate sales each month and there was a large rise in the over 2 million homes after the championship. I would think that the winner would be able to sell this house fairly quickly if they don't try to get too greedy. There are several famous people that own homes and last year one sold for 14 million. So to sell one for 2 million should be easy. | ||||
Good information for a winner who plans to sell. *****Catch the Excitement***** ******Dreams and happiness to all my MB friends****** ~ ~ ♥ ~ ~♥ ~ ~♥~~♥~~♥ a flapjaw and a Sheltie collector avatar fan Real Friends Believe in Your Dreams | ||||

Declaratory Relief?
2012/07/01 03:37:59
The attorney in a publicized challenge to Barack Obama's eligibility to be president told WND the Florida case took an unexpected turn in court yesterday, one he says "pulled the rug out" from Obama's lawyers and should force a quick answer from the judge.
Attorney Larry Klayman told WND he had expected an "uneventful" hearing in the ongoing case, which returned before Judge Terry Lewis yesterday, but instead found a legal tangle that he believes means Lewis will "have to make a decision, have to put it on record."

Why the assumption that this is an issue of where he was born? The question is were his parents citizens.
Flip side of the same leaf. Still clutching for straws. Apparently they have more money to throw away than I. More power to them, if it works. I'm a conservative investor, not a high roller.
No way is it a flip side of the same coin. In order to be eligible for President one is required to be a "natural born citizen". To be such requires two parents that are citizens of the US. Obama's father was never a US citizen, making Obama MERELY a citizen, not a "natural born" one.
- TheTruth1313 2012/07/01 06:55:00As much as I would love to see this come completely into light, you know that Odumba and his clowns will ultimately pay off whomever they need to to get the decision that they want. The (lack of) justice committee has pretty much already shown that they will let that traitor scum obama lap-dog stooge Holder do what ever his master Odumba wants him to do.

That may be so, but how many times have we seen a judge rule against Obama in anything and make it stick?
