This is fairly difficult. There are countless athletes I would've liked to have seen compete and narrowing down the list to three has been hard to say the least. Regardless, it's done and for my first pick I'm going to go with Gale Sayers of the Chicago Bears.
Sayers is relatively young enough to probably have been seen by many FN'ers, but I'm 31 and Sayers' NFL career was long over by the time I was born. Sayers played from 1965-1971 but his prime is generally considered to be 1965-1967, or his first three years in the NFL. Sayers injured his knee in 1968 and apparently was never the same player thereafter, sadly diminishing what was once a very promising career.
But I would've loved to have seen those first three years of Sayers' career.
As a rookie Sayers scored a then-record 22 TDs. He also set an at-the-time record with 2,272 all-purpose yards.
His second year brought less TDs (12) but more all-purpose yards, a new record of 2,440.
Sayers' third year was more of a time-share (no clue why) and Sayers finished with lesser stats, but was still an electric player.
But Sayers' reputation as the "best gridiron dancer ever" is why I would've liked seeing him.

Alright, MF, good choice and good luck!
Unlike yourself, I had no difficulty at all in coming up with my first choice. The other two might be tougher, but I have always dreamed what it would have been like to have seen the great Mickey Mantle play in his heyday.
I mean, this guy had it all. Hit for average, had power from both sides of the plate, phenomenal fielder, and knew how to play through pain, as he needed to for his entire career.
For the second half of the 50's decade, and the first few years of the 60's, there was no better player in baseball. Mantle, the year before I was born, won the Triple Crown, leading not just the AL, but both leagues in all three categories.
Mantle still holds numerous World Series records, most notably with 18 home runs over his 12 World Series'.
I like to fantasize that I'm seeing the next coming, in the person of one Mike Trout, who displays many of Mantle's traits.
Mantle was one of the greatest players ever, and one can only wonder what could have been, just as in the case of Sayers, had injuries not played such a prominent part of his career.

Ok, for pick number two I'm turning to America's pastime. Baseball. Sweet, sweet baseball. And this is where I flip flopped the most about who to use in this TD. Because I've always yearned to see Willie Mays, and I really wanted to pick him. But I can't. There's one baseball player I can't justify picking ANYBODY over, and that's
Babe Ruth.
George Herman Ruth, Jr. The Babe. The Bambino. The Sultan of Swat. Jack Dunn's Baby.
Call him whatever you will, Babe Ruth is the one athlete I would've loved to see the most. There is never going to be another player like him. everyone knows about Ruth's accomplishments at the plate, but he was also a great pitcher, finishing his career with a record of 94-46 and a dazzling 2.28 ERA. Ruth also finished his career with a WHIP of just 1.159. He wasn't much of a strikeout pitcher but he sure was an effective one.
And at the plate... oh my. One of the best ever, if not the best. MLB's TRUE homerun king. Amazing hitter. Just phenomenal.
And the best part is he looked more like you or I than like any of today's athletes. Ruth was an average Joe's hero, and I'm sad I missed him.
Good luck, Nerby!
TnerB57 said 09/19, 10:57 PM
Ok, MF, this next choice was a bit harder, admittedly, but I kept going back to my original thought for my pick.
And that is Wilt Chamberlain.
Chamberlain was an athletic beast! Did you know he won the Big 8 high jump three straight years?
Now, on to basketball. I did get to see Wilt play his last 3-4 years (I was even at the Fabulous Forum when the Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks for their 21st of 33 wins in a row), but I would really have liked to see his first 6 years in the league, particularly that monster 1962 season. I mean, look at this stat line: 48.5 mpg, 25.7 rpg, 50.4 ppg! And I really would have liked to be on hand when he scored 100 pts in a single game.
Wilt pulled down over 27 rebounds a game his first two seasons. Heck, these days top players are lucky to get 27 points a game. Only Bill Russell came close to Chamberlain here. 22+ rpg for his career!
Chamberlain and Jordan are the only two players to retire with a 30 ppg average for their career.
And Chamberlain could pass, too, even leading the league in total assists in 1968.
Mrlns Fn said 09/20, 02:35 AM
For my third selection I too am borrowing from the game of basketball. I thought about this one for a long time because there are many old school players I would've enjoyed seeing, but in the end there was really only one choice. The third athlete I wish I could've seen is Pete Maravich.
When I was a kid I read Pistol Pete's book. Between the different stories I read in the book concerning Pete's prowess with the ball and other stories passed on through the years by former teammates/coaches/opponents etc, there is no shortage of accolades. Maravich was known as "the best ball-handler of all time", according to John Havlicek. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame called Maravich "perhaps the greatest creative offensive talent in history" upon his induction.
Besides Maravich's peerless ball handling skills and supreme vision on the court, he was also a prolific scorer. Pete played three years in college, leading the NCAA in scoring each year and finishing with a cumulative 44.2 PPG scoring average, before the introduction of the 3-point line, where many shots originated.
I would've loved watching Pete during the prime of his collegiate career.
GL, Nerby!

You know, this has actually been a pretty fun TD. Re-reading up on some historical athletes has been and extreme pleasure. That said, no sport re-read quite as well as baseball, in my book, so the final athlete I would have liked to see in their prime is [b]Ted Williams[/i].
The Splendid Splinter was one of the greatest hitters to ever play the game. 521 homers, .344 ba, 2654 hits, 1838 rbi. The numbers, while phenomenal, would have been even more extraordinary, had he not given up 3 very prime years, and the great majority of two others, to serve his country as a bomber pilot in WWII and the Korean conflict. Ted would have very likely been at or withing top 3 in every major category if not for this.
Ted Williams was the last man to hit over .400, won not one but two Triple Crowns, hit a home run in his very last at bat, and was a two-time MVP.
In fact, everyone missed seeing Williams in his prime, as his years in WWII, were ages 25-27, supreme prime for any athlete. Hell, if not for war, Barroid Bonds might have been chasing Williams records rather than Ruth.
Great idea, MF, and good luck!
Arnold Schwarzenegger. End TD.

wolfy dog | Thank you all! |
Chris Wild |
Size and birth order don't correlate. The largest may be born first, last or in the middle. Same with the smallest. As for nursing, yes the larger, stronger pups will tend to get the best nipples (which are the ones at the back). But that doesn't mean that the smaller pups are missing out on anything. Birth size also doesn't correlate to adult size. I've seen the "runt" grow up to be the biggest dog in the litter, and the largest at birth grow up to be in the middle in terms of size. Then I've also seen the smallest stay the smallest, and the largest stay the largest. There really is no way to tell how things will turn out based on birth size or birth order. Again, same for personality. There is no correlation to personality and birth order. There can be *some* affects on personality, from an environmental standpoint, to size. The "runt" may be more spunky, and even prone to a bit of a Napoleon complex, due to having to fight more than others to get what it wants (starting with nursing) and also due to often being the one most picked upon in the litter. Likewise, the largest can be a bit more laid back, due to everything coming easily and never having to really work for anything due to size. But those don't always hold true, and when they do exist they are pretty minor. IMO birth order and size should have absolutely no impact on evaluating and selecting a pup from a litter. |

I am not a breeder but I can answer one of your questions. Yes the runt can be born first. I am close to my breeder and on their last litter the largest biggest pup was the last one born. They thought she was done and all went to bed. Work up in the morning and the big boy was added to the group. I believe the smallest was first or second. Either way the first 2 were the smallest 2. And the biggest 2 were last Sent from Petguide.com Free App |
wolfy dog |
What about the order of birth? Question to the breeders; what can you say about the vigor and personality of the first born pup? Are the "runts" (the smallest, weaker pups) ever born first? Very curious to know. Does the strongest pup always have the best teats if you let him/her? |

Hey all,
I'm helping a production finish a show that was shot on a red cam. They edited using M proxies in Final Cut Pro and I am now pulling VFX shots to be sent to the VFX artist. He has requested Linear OpenEXR sequences. This is my first time working with EXR and am still trying to wrap my mind around them let alone figure out how to convert into them from the raw R3D. From searching the forums it is my understanding that I can export from the R3D files in REDCINE X to OpenEXR but I can't for the life of me figure out how. Under the export options I only see DPX, TIFF, Quicktime and Avid. Is it possible to export into openEXR using redcine? If not is there another program (something free or inexpensive, we can't afford smoke or nuke or anything like that)
Assuming that I can figure it out I'm going to do the rest of it as follow.
- Assemble all of the VFX shots in a FCP sequence
- Export a XML
- Import XML into Clip finder to add handles and reconnect to R3D
- Export out of Clipfinder and into REDCINE
- Export to openEXR
Does this make sense? Am I missing something?

some quotes from the website of jerry sandusky's football camp.......
"In the past we set our sights on teen-age boys," said Coach Sandusky, 67. "Kids that age, however, can be slippery, especially if they're going through a rebellious stage. We need to get our hands on kids when they're younger in order to have the greatest impact on them.""We encourage kids to sleep over in order to derive the full benefit of the camping experience," said Coach Sandusky. "We don't want Jerry's Kids to be the kind who run and tell Mommy or Daddy when the least little thing happens.""I've seen Coach Sandusky interacting with young men," said Coach McQueary. "He's a hands-on guy who knows how to drive his message home. I'm looking forward to working with him because I wouldn't be a coach at Penn State if it wasn't for Coach Sandusky."
Boy, you can sure read between those lines.
^nvm. those are fake. oops
please tell me you all read the moof post there.. that **** was all fake
According to the grand jury, then, here is how McQueary's eyewitness account became watered down at each stage:
McQueary: anal rape.
Paterno: something of a sexual nature.
Curley: inappropriate conduct or horsing around
Spanier: conduct that made someone uncomfortable.
Raykovitz: a ban on bringing kids to the locker room.
These dates spanning 13 years share two common threads that run through the entire grand jury presentment. At each stage, boys voiced concern or pain or alarm at the conduct of Jerry Sandusky — or adults witnessed behavior they found troubling or alarming.
And at each stage, other adults dismissed, minimized or failed to act upon those concerns.
It remains to be seen whether any of these actions, or the statements behind them, are a matter for the courts. For now, only two things are certain:
Many of the accounts in this tragic and tangled history conflict with one another.
And everyone cannot be telling the truth.

"Resort Review: Miraval Arizona -A Desert Retreat" by Katherine Bond
Resort Review: Some destination spas can pamper or pep guests up, but only the best shift souls. Miraval a desert retreat near Tuscon, Arizona, is such a spa that has nurtured, soothed and delighted patrons for nearly a decade. As Miraval claims, "You won't find you anywhere else." Here are my favorite moments at Miraval during a four-day stay:
Rainbow Dining: It was monsoon season during my stay at Miraval, which means a 100-degree day was cooled to a balmy 80 with a downpour of stunning rain. One evening, my girlfriend and I noshed on light appetizers in the outdoor dining area while the rain dipped dry from cacti and dessert trees immaculately maintained on Miraval's 400 acre property. As we finished a double chocolate sponge cake, we watched a double rainbow arch over jagged distance mountains. Miraval's menus are inventive and satisfying, hardly the "spa cuisine" lot which leaves you wondering where the rest of your calories are coming from for the day. What's more, guests are free to order as desired without worry of extra charges or tips. I liked midday treats-veggie packed smoothies and thick lattes from the Palm Court.
Tension and Tent
With more than 100 "Chill Out" spa services, Miraval makes it mark to ensure there's an untried spa service even for the most sated of spa goers. Guests have their daily pick (a spa treatment a day is included amenity during your stay) of Miraval's exotic and spiritual offerings, such as the Cranio-sacral, an Asian inspired headache relief treatment, and a Japanese Reiki, a hand energy practice. My daily picks always included an "Outdoor Essential," a treatment hosted in a private, climate controlled tent which allowed the desert's sounds to surround around me. What a difference the outdoors make! One afternoon, I drifted away to the sound of light thunder in the distance and the smell of fresh rain.
"Miraval Resort: Executive Chef Chad Leuthje" by Alia Akkam
Growing up, Chad Leuthje regularly ate "food the other kids didn't have." Miso soup, sprouts, seaweed. "I thought bringing a rice cake with peanut butter and honey for lunch was a tragedy compared to a turkey sandwich," he recalls. It turns out his parents' predilection for nourishing cuisine was fate. The sun-kissed Luethje–light hair, light eyes, bright smile—looks right at home at Miraval, Tucson's legendary feel-good resort, where he's held court as Executive Chef at the Cactus Flower Restaurant for over two years, since his arrival from Red Mountain Spa in Utah. "I used to think spa food was bland, that it had no salt and no color. I was shocked by what healthy, good food could taste like," Luethje reveals. At Miraval, the chef's fresh, elegantly prepared dishes, savored each day on the coveted tranquil patio, may include chilled mint peach soup, Sonoran spice-rubbed fish with fire-roasted pineapple salsa, or blueberry torte. When guests learn how few calories are in each of Luethje's recipes, they are shocked, yet his cooking only complements the resort's balanced approach to wellness—discovering self-awareness in the Equine Experience, guided meditation, birds chirping as bodies are slicked with Arctic berry cream in one of the spa's outdoor treatment rooms. Leuthje says Miraval's magical setting offers constant inspiration in the kitchen: "We grow amazing peaches in the middle of the desert, and when you taste the agave nectar here, you instantly know its roots. Surrounded by cacti and mesquite makes it that much easier to create."
"We Want to Live Here" by Travel Girl
When I found out my friend/J Public Relations teammate, Molly Leibowitz, was visiting Miraval, the ultimate destination spa in Tucson, Arizona, I was excited for her, and insanely jealous at the same time. I visited Miraval over five years ago, and, to this day, it is still one of the most profound trips of my life. One of Oprah's favorite places, Miraval is a serene oasis, where a combination of sensational spa treatments and positive mindfulness can truly change your life. I could use a trip right about now.
XOXO Travel Girl
Miraval, or as I like to call it Miracle, is tucked away down a dirt road in the heart of Oro Valley, Tucson, Arizona. Miraval is an amazing all-inclusive retreat, with a an award-winning spa and stunning views of the Santa Catalina Mountains. The minute I drove through the gates and got out of my car, I started to breathe smoothly. My normal, short, quick, New York breathes, as I like to call them, became deep and slow.
On my walk to the spa, I passed no less than four streams and saw a little cotton-tailed bunny. The feeling that had come over me was one of calmness. If I had my father's blood pressure machine handy, I'm sure it would have proven that my blood pressure had dropped a few notches. I received the nurture treatment, Miraval's new and most complete body renewal ritual. The treatment is a six-part ritual featuring all organic products from Red Flower. The best way I can describe the treatment is as a facial for the body. My therapist informed me that the treatment is great for the lymphatic system and enhances skin elasticity and reduces toxins. The first part of the treatment is an exfoliation process, then you are escorted to your own private shower to rinse off. The shower might be my favorite part of the treatment, for the shear fact that you are in an outside shower made of wood. During the whole treatment, you are in your own little casita, so you feel extremely secluded in nature.
"Spring Forward" by Janet Thomas
Tell me again why I might want to 'defy my comfort zone' by climbing to the top of a 25-foot pole and jumping off," I said to the encouraging staff member when I visited Miraval Arizona a few years ago. Whatever she said didn't convince me, because I defied my comfort zone in other, more-sane-to-me ways, like trail running, hiking, and mountain biking, followed, no doubt, by a deep-tissue massage.
Part heart-pumping, take-it-to-the-next-level fitness and part intense pampering and relaxation, today's multiday destination spas are a compelling way to kick off a new year and put some spring, well, in your spring. Resorts like Miraval in Tucson, Arizona; Rancho La Puerto in Baja California, Mexico; and Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin, Texas, are all prime examples. I think the growing trend of health- and fitness-focused vacations and the infusion of more fitness options at spas and hotels in general is an excellent direction for the industry. Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa in Miami Beach, for example, has a 70,000-square-foot spa and wellness facility with 54 treatment rooms and services that integrate nutrition, fitness, and preventative care.
"Kudos: Resort Supports Clients and Travel Agents" by Janis Hough
Many posts on Consumer Traveler are about problems or airlines, hotels and car rental companies treating consumers and/or travel agents badly. But, this week I had a resort, Miraval Resort and Spa, make an exception that benefited both my clients and the agency. So figured I would share a good story for a change. The client in question is a very occasional traveler, but a relative of one of my best clients. She had emailed to ask about flights and a four-night spa vacation in Tuscon. I spoke to Miraval Resort, and found out that not only did they have rates that fit my client's budget, they were offering a fifth night free.
In addition, as part of a consortium program our agency belongs too, the hotel was including a free gift and an upgrade if available on check-in. I did not mention the last two things to the client, figuring it would be a nice surprise. The client was very appreciative for the help, but emailed me to say, "Thank you so much, I called them and booked this morning." (She didn't want to put me to any extra trouble.)
But most hotels, the Miraval Resort included, pay travel agents. Besides the fact that with her direct booking she wouldn't be eligible for the upgrade and the gift. So, not expecting much, I contacted the hotel and explained what had happened. And they immediately replied that if she called and approved it they would let our agency take over the booking. Which when I in turn explained the situation to the client, she was happy to do.

Winchester council to step in between residents and students
10:00am Thursday 12th September 2013 in News By Wesley Rock
ROWDY students beware.
Winchester City councillors will soon be pounding the streets in an effort to reduce conflicts between residents and students.
Between September 16 and 27, councillors and officers will be joined by representatives from the University of Winchester Student Union, as they visit student digs across Stanmore, Winnall and Weeke.
Piloted in 2011, the project aims to address to reduce the number of "student-related issues" the council and university have to deal with.
Cllr Jan Warwick, portfolio holder for neighbourhoods and environment, said: "The Neighbourhood Services team, along with other members of the Community Safety Partnership, are keen to make sure that those students living away from university accommodation for the first time quickly feel part of the community that they live in.
"At the same time we want them to know that we will be taking a robust approach to any anti-social behaviour reported especially if that behaviour impacts on neighbours."
During the visits, members of the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) will distribute a Welcome to the Neighbourhood booklet, produced by the city council in conjunction with the universities of Winchester and Southampton, and their respective student unions. The pamphlet provides information for students such as their bin collection day, hints and tips for getting on with neighbours, and advice on council tax and parking.
At the end of September, the Neighbourhood Services Team will be out in force, knocking on the doors of houses where there have been complaints, or if there is noise coming from them, dishing out warnings.

2010 Graduate Dies on Cruise Ship in Australia
Jackie Kastrinelis, 24, a 2010 University of Hartford graduate who majored in music theatre at The Hartt School, has died in Australia while working as a singer aboard a cruise ship.
According to news reports, Kastrinelis was found dead Sunday (Feb. 3) in her cabin aboard the cruise ship on which she was performing, the Seven Seas Voyager. The ship was moored in the harbor in Darwin, on Australia's northern coast.
Kastrinelis, a native of Groveland, Mass., had been employed by Regent Seven Seas Cruises since 2011.
As news of her passing spread on Monday, Kastrinelis was remembered as a talented, energetic, and bubbly presence on campus. In addition to performing in many Hartt School productions, she also worked as an RA and was an on-air personality with STN2, the University's Student Television Network.
Ben Wilcox '13, general manager of STN2, said Kastrinelis had a "larger than life personality," and was extremely friendly and outgoing. If there were technical glitches while Kastrinelis was delivering her live, weekly weather forecast on STN, she remained calm and unflappable, Wilcox said. "She was such a professional," he said.

Most people who voted for Obama haven't got a clue about what's going on in the economy and our country. And, on top of that, they would rather vote in a Democrat just so they can have a President of their own party regardless of the job he is doing. They are putting their party above this country because there is just no way to spin Obama's time as president being a successful administration. Like somebody said, Obama needs to be working on the economy instead of all these side issues. If you are a hard working patriotic american there is no way you could agree with Obama. If you have kids/grand kids and care about them then there is no way you can be happy about what Obama is doing. The economy took several hits the last week or two with Unemployment going up as one of the biggest. I thought we were in a recovery but the numbers don't say that. And, a lot of folks who are unemployed are not even being counted so the actual numbers are even higher. Harry Reid just said that any spending cuts will have to be tied with revenue increases(taxes). That's just what this country needs is to give them more money to waste.

Vettel wins the inaugural Indian GP
Sebastian Vettel has won the inaugural Indian GP. The youngest champ flew off at the start dodging his team mate Mark Webber who lost 2 places to finish a disappointing 4th.
Jenson Button came home 2nd followed by a very nicely framed race by Fernando Alonso in 3rd.
As the five lights went off, the first corner caused a stir amongst the backmarkers which Narain Karthekeyan used for his advantage and stuck all along to finish a very impressive 17th.… Read more

1. How far in advance do I have to book?
Typically, we find that the prime months of May/June and September/October book about a year in advance, although you should always check your specific date and preferred location.
2. Am I allowed to hold a site and what does that entail?
We are happy to hold a site for you at no charge while you tie up loose ends. You will need to fill out an informational form provided by the Special Events office. We will hold your date for seven days.
3. What other services, in additional to venue rental, will be charged on my bill from Cheekwood?
Cheekwood's standard services include the following. Additional services are available, please discuss with your sales person.
1) Catering services from our Pineapple Room restaurant
2) Bar & beverage services *Cheekwood is the exclusive licensed
provider of alcoholic beverages on site, and guests may not
provide their own liquor.
3) Event staff; including Banquet Captains, Event Supervisors,
Servers, and Bartenders.
4) Rented event equipment. In general our venues require rental
of all equipment from our preferred provider, including but not
limited to; tables, chairs, china, glassware, flatware, linens,
and service items.
5) Rental of Tenting, Decorative Lighting, and Valet services, if
required for your event
Please view this SAMPLE ESTIMATE for further details
4. What is the payment structure?
A. 100% of the site combinations (ex. Special Events Lawn: $700 with Frist Learning Center: $3900= $4600 due) within one week upon receipt of the contract.
B. If Cheekwood catering is being used, a $15pp non-refundable catering retainer due with signed catering agreement within 30 days upon receipt of the contract.
C. 100% of estimated invoice, including damage deposit and liquor charge based on $24 estimated consumption is due ten days before the event.
D. Full balance on any remaining expenses incurred due within 14 days of invoice issue date
E. If no damage has occurred and all bills have been paid, the client will receive the full refundable damage deposit after the event. We are able to apply your deposit to any balance due to Cheekwood for catering or other services on your final invoice.
5. What if I cancel the date after I have signed a contract and paid? If you cancel 60 days or more in advance of your event, we retain 50% of the site fee and the full catering retainer. If you cancel less than 60 days before the event, we retain the entire site fee and the full catering fee.
6. Do you have package deals?
In order to allow the client as much customization as possible, we do not have package events. In your preferred combination, you are able to select a garden, reception space, and menu details in order to create a special day that meets your vision and budget. Since there are many different location combinations and we allow so much customization, costs vary considerably and can be discussed in person.
7. If I want to have a wedding at Cheekwood, must I book a reception space as well?
Several of our gardens are available for ceremony-only. Those that must be booked with a reception space are indicated in the information packet. Reception spaces can be booked independent of ceremony spaces.
8. What is included in the fee for the garden?
• Free entry to Cheekwood for your guests
• No charge for guest parking
• A certificate good for a one-year family membership to Cheekwood. (Applies to new or returning clients only)
• A rehearsal
• A dressing area for the bride and bridesmaids
• A portrait sitting in advance of the wedding (photographer to be provided by the client)
• Cheekwood Security
• Basic White Folding Chairs
9. What additional expenses are associated with a wedding at Cheekwood?
Items not covered by your rental fee include, but are not limited to:
• Decorations/Flowers
• Officiant
• Wedding Director
• Tent Fees (if applicable)
• Valet (if needed)
10. What if it rains on my wedding day?
In the event of inclement weather, we will do our best to relocate your event to another venue; however, we cannot guarantee that an alternate location will be available (the Museum of Art is not available as an alternate site). Most of our gardens do not allow tenting (the exception being the Wills Perennial Garden);
For the Wills Perennial Garden, Frist Learning Center (reception), and MoA terrace (reception), our rain plan is to reserve tents. Thursday evening, before your Saturday reception, we make the decision with you to either retain or cancel the tent based on the weather report. If it is cancelled, there is a cancellation fee; however, if it is retained, you will incur the cost of the tent. Actual costs vary based on the site, and we can discuss those in more detail in person.
Depending on your guest count, your reception space may be utilized for the ceremony. This is always the plan for a garden wedding/Pineapple Room combination.
The Japanese Garden does have covering and typically the client chooses to hold the ceremony there regardless. Either way, golf umbrellas work very well for walking to and from!!!
11. Is a room provided for the bridal party to change?
We do provide a room for the bride and bridesmaids to change in. The room varies based on if/ where an on-site reception is booked and availability. It is assigned a week before the wedding. Groomsmen should come dressed and ready. A pre-ceremony space for the groomsmen to wait in is subject to availability.
12. Do you allow receptions to be held in the gardens?
In order to protect Cheekwood gardens, we only allow receptions in the designated spaces: The Pineapple Room, Massey Display Hall, Learning Center, and Museum of Art.
13. What time of day can I have my event?
We only accommodate weddings and receptions after 5:00pm in order to ensure greater privacy for your event.
14. When can we get in our space to set-up?
Event set-up at garden sites can begin at 3:00 pm. Set-up in The Pineapple Room may begin at 3:30 pm. For daytime events, set-up in Massey Hall may begin at 7:00 am (extra security charges and rental fees may apply). For evening events, set-up in Massey Hall may begin at 3:00 pm, while set-up in the foyer may begin after 4:30 pm. Set-up in the Learning Center may begin at 3:30 pm. Museum exterior set-up may begin at 3:00 pm, while interior set-up may begin at 4:30 pm
15. What is included in the fee for the reception space?
• Free entry to Cheekwood for your guests
• No charge for guest parking
• A one-year membership to Cheekwood for the bride and groom
• A portrait sitting in advance of the wedding (photographer to be provided by the client)
• Cheekwood security until 1:00 am
16. What additional expenses are associated with a reception?
Items not covered by your rental fee include, but are not limited to:
• Set-up items (ex. tables, chairs, glassware, china, flatware, linens, etc.)
• Food plus tax
• Alcohol plus 20% service charge
• Wait staff/Bartenders
• Valet (if needed)
• Tent Fees (if applicable)
• Event Supervisor
• Proof of Liability Insurance
17. Am I allowed to bring an outside caterer?
Cheekwood is the required caterer for the Pineapple Room. All other venues can be used with any of our Preferred Catering Vendors or with Cheekwood Catering. No other vendors may cater at Cheekwood (excluding wedding cakes) and no buy-outs are available. In some instances outside food and beverage may be brought in directly by a client with Management approval. For complete details please review our catering guidelines packet or speak with an Event Coordinator.
18. What if I just want to have a bridal or engagement portrait taken?
There is no charge for a bridal portrait sitting in the gardens to brides renting a Cheekwood facility. If no site has been retained, a basic sitting fee is $225 (this includes a 1 year family membership to Cheekwood for the bride and groom). Please keep in mind that sittings must be scheduled through the Rentals office, and sittings are in outside venues only. We will provide a changing space. For more information, please visit "Bridal and Family Portraits" under the "Private Events" link on our web site.
19. What is your policy for portraits taken the day of my wedding?
For photographs on the day of your wedding, your photographer must make advance plans by contacting this office by phone or email to check site availability. If an event is booked in a space, next to a space, or within audible distance of the area where you would like to take pictures, we ask that you refrain from doing so. For example, if the Museum of Art is booked for a function, the Wisteria Arbor is not available for wedding party photographs.
Of course, you are welcome to take pictures at the site you have secured during the hours of your event. All other locations that are available are used on a first come, first serve basis the day of your function and cannot be reserved in advance. Please feel free to inquire about available sites with the Cheekwood Rentals and Catering Department the week of your wedding.

thoughts on the newsroom: 5/1
Posted: August 7, 2012 Filed under: HBO, Recaps, The Newsroom, TV | Tags: 5/1, deepthroat, don and maggie, hbo, jim and lisa, late for dinner, medical marijuana, Osama Bin Laden death, recap, stuck on plane, The newsroom Leave a comment »Previously on The Newsroom: Bullies
- Charlie is contacted by an anonymous source that wishes to show his credibility by leaving an ominous message.
- The Newsroom staff is celebrating their one year (and one month) anniversary at Will's apartment.
- Will explains to Neal and his girlfriend, Kaylee, why he needs medical marijuana and why his tolerance is above average. They tell him to be careful because the marijuana cookies are potent…Will doesn't listen.
- Charlie's anonymous tip turns out to be a one of national security. He alerts the party and everyone heads to the newsroom to get to work.
- Elliot, Sloan, and Don are stuck on airport runway with a flight attendant that won't let them off because of regulations.
- Maggie finds out that Lisa told Jim that she loves him; Jim says he loved her too to be polite but he tells Maggie those aren't his genuine feelings.
- Will, under the influence of marijuana and prescription drugs, leaves the car with Lonny to get to the newsroom by foot due to construction.
- The consensus around the newsroom is that Osama bin Laden has been killed but they can't run the story until they have two legitimate confirmation sources.
- Maggie tells Jim he has to break up with Lisa but Lisa beats him to the punch because she thinks Maggie still has feelings for Jim.
- Charlie tells Mac and Will that the President should be the one to deliver the news…until they tell Will to check his email. Joe Biden told Will about the news directly. Charlie changes his mind.
"Call me 'Late for Dinner'" Doesn't have the same ring to it as "Deep Throat" but it'll have to suffice until now. Clearly this man wants to be more involved with the newsroom–or maybe just Charlie personally–because he says this is just the beginning for them. I'm hoping it has something to do with helping Charlie deal with the higher-ups at the network. He seemed to have validated himself as a credible source–at least for now–Charlie should still thread lightly though. He and his doesn't need anymore unwanted attention from Leona.
Contrary to Popular Demand: When the newsroom found out that the bin Laden was confirmed, there was jubilation, disbelief, and a collective (metaphorical) sigh of a burden being lifted. All except Kaylee. Her father was killed during the attacks on September 11th and she thought that she would get the same feeling as everyone else but to no avail. I think the majority of the nation and those affected by terrorism worldwide were just as elated as the members of the newsroom but killing bin Laden doesn't bring back the losses that some of us lost. Kaylee's reaction was a stark contrast to what I was use to seeing when hearing about his death but that made me appreciate it that much more.
Relationship Re-Do: After Jim is mercy dumped by Lisa he asks if they can try again. He admits that the first time around he was pressured by Maggie and that wasn't the correct way he should went about it. I'm not sure if Jim really wants to try again with Lisa or if he just wants to continue being the "white knight" but I expect the end result to be explosive in any case. Poor Maggie/Lisa/Jim…if only this were Utah…

thoughts on the newsroom: bullies
Posted: August 1, 2012 Filed under: HBO, quotes, Recaps, The Newsroom, TV | Tags: Bullies, David Krumholtz, Old Spice, Recaps, Sandra Bernhard, Sarah Bernhardt, Sloan goes rogue, Terry Crews, The newsroom, Will in therapy, Will's therapist 1 Comment »Previously on The Newsroom: Amen
- Will starts going to his therapist again–or at least his former therapist's son Jack (David Krumholtz)–after four years because he has been having trouble sleeping.
- The network's insurance company assigns Will a bodyguard, Lonny (Terry Crews), after he is threatened on an online message board.
- Sloan accurately misreports (It makes sense) a nuclear disaster in Japan while filling in for Elliot during the 10pm newscast.
- Will shows Mac the engagement ring he bought her during their relationship.
- Don asks Sloan if he is losing Margaret to Jim. Sloan is…emotionally challenged(?) so she can't answer honestly. But she tells him that he isn't by default.
- Charlie suspends Sloan for her actions on-air. He later figures out a loophole to get the network out of the negative light…and to get Sloan back to work.
- Will's therapist realizes that Will has been having problems because of his feelings for Mac and his recent on-air behavior.
Will's Got Issues: Well we've known that since the onset of the show but now we know it's certifiable. His feelings for Mac have been evident. His on-air blow-ups have been increasing steadily. And now he has formed some type of relationship with Sloan, so much so that he feels sorry for the advice he gave her about being relentless during interviews–which, subsequently, led to her suspension. Do I think Will is going to continue treatment? No. Do I think he is going to immediately pursue a relationship with Mac? No. Do I pray that he and Sloan engage in coitus? Yes! (Sorry, Mac). A forbidden fruit must be tasted before the season ends and I don't see it happening with Maggie and Jim unfortunately so that Sloan and Will would be the next best thing.
Sloan Goes Rogue: Maybe Sloan wasn't the best person for Will to give advice to. She isn't the most pragmatic person on the staff–actually she's probably the least–and she definitely overstepped her bounds during her short stint as an anchor. I doubt she gets that chance again though. I'm starting to enjoy Sloan's character much more as she is beginning to matriculate through different storylines and interact with other staffers.
Cat and Mouse: I believe they are interchangeable at the moment but Mac and Will are doing this dance every week and I'm starting to get tired of it. Not literally. Or figuratively either. I just need someone to make a bold move…or for Sloan to share her bare breasts–and I say that because I adore alliteration…and I kinda mean it, too.
Top Flight Security: Former collegiate football star? Check. Former NFL draftee? Check. Former Army MP? Check. Awesome Old Spice Ads? You decide. I think Will is in good hands.
"Who else's body have you guarded?" -Will
"We don't talk about that." -Lonny
"Okay." -Will
"Kanye. It was awesome." -Lonny
"Sarah Bernhardt was a turn of the century stage and film actress from France! Sandra Bernhard is a…I don't know what the hell!" -Charlie
"The wife of a board member died and Will asked me to send flowers. I wrote on the card 'I'm so sorry for your loss. LOL." -Maggie
"Lol?!" -Jim
"I thought it meant lots of love." -Maggie
"How do you still work here?" – Jim

In Brief
- In recent years researchers have turned to the study of gossip—our predilection for talking about people who are not present. Why is news about others so irresistible?
- As it turns out, gossip serves a useful social function in bonding group members together. In the distant past, when humans lived in small bands and meeting strangers was a rare occurrence, gossip helped us survive and thrive.
- Our modern-day infatuation with celebrities reveals the ancient evolutionary psychology of gossip in sharp relief: anyone whom we see that often and know that well becomes socially important to us.
In the past few years I have heard more people than ever before puzzling over the 24/7 coverage of people such as Paris Hilton who are "celebrities" for no apparent reason other than we know who they are. And yet we can't look away. The press about these individuals' lives continues because people are obviously tuning in. Although many social critics have bemoaned this explosion of popular culture as if it reflects some kind of collective character flaw, it is in fact nothing more than the inevitable outcome of the collision between 21st-century media and Stone Age minds.
When you cut away its many layers, our fixation on popular culture reflects an intense interest in the doings of other people; this preoccupation with the lives of others is a by-product of the psychology that evolved in prehistoric times to make our ancestors socially successful. Thus, it appears that we are hardwired to be fascinated by gossip.

Lee took issue with the media casting his department as apathetic or lackadaisical in the case.
"A lot of the information that was given out as fact was misinformation," he said. "It was reported in some media that we didn't conduct an investigation for two weeks, but yet in that same media they would show a photograph of a crime scene with crime scene tape, with patrol cars and blue lights and investigators on the scene."
Lee shrugged off the notion that he was hired to clean up racism and other problems in the department. His goal upon becoming chief was to improve professionalism and trust, and he set several goals, all of which were met during his 10-month tenure, he said.
One of his greatest regrets, he said, is that the Zimmerman investigation ultimately shattered his childhood dream to be police chief of the community where he was raised.
"It's a dream of a vision that is going to be unrealized," he said. "I'm at peace with it on most days. I'm a man of faith. But it stings."

Zack recently answered some questions on his website for his latest book, When Life Hands You Lemons… Throw Them At People!. "By the end of the book you're either going to love me or hate me. And I hope that it's love me, but essentially, you're getting to know me; the real me," Zack states in the interview.
"It's a very funny book. At least funny to those of us with a twisted sense of humor," Zack assures.

European design doesn't always incorporate wall cabinets, which allows the wall tile to be the focal point in the room.
David Portales, Spanish Tile Association: Cabinets and countertops used to be the main focal point or star of the kitchen. More and more designers are limiting the use of upper cabinets. Instead one entire wall of the kitchen is dedicated to a floor to ceiling cabinet similar to a wall unit. This full height unit easily replaces the lost storage and often houses one or two wall ovens. The remaining three walls have either no upper cabinets or have completely open shelving units. The open wall surface from the countertop to the ceiling becomes a blank canvas and can provide a new major focal point in kitchen design and ceramic tile is at the top of the list of preferred finish material. Therefore, it makes sense to design that space as a wide focal point rather than a supporting design element.
Verdict: If you want a backsplash to be the main attraction in your kitchen, try limiting the amount of wall cabinets in your room.
You can use reclaimed wood for something like a countertop, as seen in the kitchen above. But using reclaimed wood for a backsplash can be a difficult proposition.

Kaytie has not received any gifts yet
Hey there guys and gals. Welcome to the world of Kadence Persephone, complete with all the random, crazy, fun, sweet, wonderful aspects that go along with it. There are probably a couple things you want to know about me, right? Well here are the most important.
Number one, no you do not have to call me my full name *laughs*. Actually I have many nicknames from many different people- Kaddy is the most popular but some others include Kad, Sugar, Winky, Twinky, Tostada, Sunshine, Italian, Kandy, Kan Kan, and K.
Number two, I am currently 18 years old. My birthday is January 29th and if you ask me what my favorite holiday is....that is my answer. Every time. Birthdays are the best.
Number three, I am currently a homeschooled high school graduate, attending career school to become a massage therapist. I'm at the top of my class and have an insane passion for what I'm learning.
That's one of the things you'll get to know about me.... when I get passionate about something I go all out and put 110% into it and as a result I do well in it. Same goes for people...whether friends or relationships. I get very supportive and protective and enthusiastic about my friends, if that makes sense...if not then just wait and you'll understand fairly quickly.
Number four kind of goes along with that second part of number three. That would be some of my friends! These people are extremely special, unique, and very close to my heart.
Number five, I am currently single.
Number six, I am a hopeless romantic, an extremely loyal and supportive friend, an insanely random person, and I love to make memories and have a good discussion. I have lots of favorite things so I won't even begin to start listing them now. *laughs*.
Anything else...i'm a very open person so just ask!
Thanks for spending time in my little universe...I hope you enjoyed.
Don't worry it happens -chuckles- I know I'm messing
-chuckles- well that's what it is right, you rub people :P
Oh cool -chuckles- my attention zoomed in on message therapy

"Let us now relate the power of the day's holiness, for it is awesome and frightening. On it Your Kingship will be exalted; Your throne will be firmed with kindness and You will sit upon it in truth. It is true that You alone are the One Who judges, proves, knows, and bears witness; Who writes and seals; Who remembers all that was forgotten. You will open the Book of Chronicles-it will read itself, and everyone's signature is in it. The great
shofar will be sounded, and a still, thin sound will be heard. Angels will
hasten, a trembling and terror will seize them-and they will say, 'Behold, it is the Day of Judgment…All mankind will pass before You like members of the flock…and You shall apportion the fixed needs of all Your creatures and inscribe their verdict." (From the Rosh Hashanah liturgy; Artscroll Machzor.)
Rosh Hashanah is serious business.
A quick glance at the famous passage quoted above, or at just about any given page of the special Rosh Hashanah prayer book, will quickly dispel any doubts on that score. So will the harsh and awe-inspiring blast of the shofar, a sound that can arouse depths of feeling in even the most unflappable synagogue shmoozer.
Other nations may celebrate their New Year reveling in Times Square (or its equivalent); we spend ours standing in court, pleading for mercy from on high. "Remember us for life, O King Who desires life, and inscribe us in the Book of Life-for Your sake, O Living G-d." We come before G-d, our Father and King, to ask for Life: both in the physical sense (a year of health, happiness and prosperity…with record-breaking gains on the Nasdaq), and in the spiritual (a year of heightened sensitivity and connection to the greatness of G-d and the Torah).
When you look beyond the apples dipped in honey (beautiful, important and sacred custom though it is) to really think of what's at stake on Rosh Hashanah…it could get you pretty worried.
Which is why I think some of the best advice I can offer you is what singer Bobby McFerrrin tunefully (some would say vapidly) urged us way back when I was in high school: "DON'T WORRY; BE HAPPY."
You think I'm kidding you. I'm serious, my friend. DON'T WORRY; BE HAPPY.
In fact, I can quote two individuals of even greater stature and more unimpeachable integrity than the talented McFerrin: Nechemya (Nehemiah) and Ezra, towering leaders of the Jewish people at the time of the return of the exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. They reinvigorated a demoralized Jewish population in the Holy Land, who had strayed from Torah observance in the years of the Babylonian exile following the destruction of the First Temple.
The Book of Nehemiah records a scene that took place "on the first day of the seventh month"Rosh Hashanah. Ezra read from the Torah on Rosh Hashanah to the assembled masses in Jerusalem: though they enthusiastically pledged to commit themselves once again to G-d's Law, they were brokenhearted at their past misdeeds. Worried (like us) about how Hashem would judge them on the awesome day of Judgment. But Ezra and Nehemiah told the people, in so many words, "DON'T WORRY; BE HAPPY."
"Then Nehemiah…as well as Ezra the Kohen, the scholar, and the Levites who were helping the people understand, said to all the people, 'Today is sacred to Hashem, your G-d; do not mourn and do not weep.' For all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the Torah. He said to them, 'Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet beverages, and send portions to those who have nothing prepared, for today is sacred to our Lord. Do not be sad; the enjoyment of Hashem is your strength!'" (Nehemiah: 8, 9-10; Artscroll Tanach)
Nehemiah was not telling the people to have a wild party; he was not counseling, "Eat, drink and be merry," in the commonly understood and profane sense. Rather, he was reminding them that Rosh Hashanah is, after all, a Yom Tov, a Jewish holiday with its requisite obligation to rejoice and eat beautiful meals and wear special clothes; his message was, "Eat, drink…and rejoice in Hashem!" What is our true strength-as individuals and as a nation? Our joy in serving G-d, in the special closeness to the Holy One, Blessed be He, that is our portion and our inheritance as the Jewish people.
Though it's true that on Rosh Hashanah the prayers emphasize G-d's Kingship (and the role of Supreme Judge that accompanies that) still we should not lose sight of the fact that Rosh Hashanah begins a period that culminates in the Divine compassion of Yom Kippur; and even on Rosh Hashanah itself, we recite the famous prayer of Avinu Malkeinu-"our Father, our King"-which should remind us that even as He judges us, He is still (and ever) our loving Father. That is a constant source of joy for us.
But I'll go further. There is joy in the very fact that G-d is King, the absolute ruler Who governs all aspects of Creation and lays claim to our complete allegiance as His servants. There is joy in the clear and lofty vision of ultimate meaning and purpose to our lives, and to existence as a whole, that lies at the center of the Rosh Hashanah service. (The mere fact that we are judged is a sign of our-and life's-importance!)
King David expresses this sentiment exactly in the second chapter of Psalms, in a verse whose second half, I think, captures the tone of Rosh Hashanah exactly: "Serve the Lord with awe, and rejoice greatly with trembling." (2, 11) Rejoice with trembling? Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch explains:
"It is only in serene joyousness that man as a whole blossoms forth and that those energies are liberated which man needs in order to discharge his task. But this unclouded joy is only found "biradah" ["with trembling"], in the complete disappearance of any opposition to the will of G-d, in the awareness of the fact that, without G-d, we are nothing and that our being and striving begin to have some meaning only if we permit them to be completely absorbed in G-d and His will. If we attach ourselves to the great sovereign purpose of G-d with our every achievement, great or small, then no contribution of ours, however small, shall be lost, and we may rejoice in it…" (Commentary on the Psalms, p. 13)
True rejoicing can be found (only) in the awe and "trembling" that accompany the awareness of G-d's absolute sovereignty…and the commitment to live one's life according to that awareness.
Is that not the essence of what Rosh Hashanah communicates to us?
Perhaps I would modify McFerrin slightly in light of all that we have said. WORRY…BUT BE HAPPY! (It won't sell as many records.) Reflect on your life, and its direction, this Rosh Hashanah-a line of thought that might well lead you to worry (or weep). But above all, REJOICE. The only way we can strengthen our resolve for the future-and remember, it is the first day of the New Year, a year during which we all are resolving to live better lives-is to rejoice while you tremble.
Do not be sad; the enjoyment of Hashem is your strength.
MAY WE ALL USE THE GREAT GIFT OF ROSH HASHANAH TO REFLECT AND REJOICE…AND MAY HASHEM INSCRIBE, AND SEAL, US IN THE BOOK OF LIFE…for a sweet, happy and healthy year. For us, and all of K'lal Yisrael.

Joining me now Gary Brown Detroit City Council president pro town.
Welcome to show it is great to have you here.
We played this very controversy -- sound from the City Council woman who says should be a quid pro quo for Detroit.
Detroit went 75%.
For president Barack Obama they should get a bail out do you agree.
Now I do not agree and I don't think that's the consensus of the majority of counsel I can look out my window right across the street at General Motors.
And -- would happen with their structured bankruptcy when the federal government got involved.
When the federal government got involved there of the CFO lost his job the board of directors lost -- job than there were restrictions to the money coming in.
And so I don't want the federal government in the city county building and I don't want to state in the city county -- and the city of -- -- leadership in the city of Detroit knows what the problems are we know what the solutions are scary question is do we have the political wearing to make the difficult decision.
And the right I wanna -- next you know I think the federal government the state -- yeah.
When -- here and -- our problems the track record here is not good and we have years of overspending.
And really frankly.
Incredibly embarrassing stories about -- is just out today the previous -- using.
That an airplane that at his own leisure and -- new personal travel.
We've got to sit a terrible financial track record.
Look at it per capita income in the -- 25000 below the US average in Detroit unemployment is 18% almost 19%.
This is City Council -- as a city management have it under control are at have you guys just lost control.
Now we -- we certainly have it under control.
We have -- issues but the city of Detroit is not falling off into the Detroit River.
The Philanthropic community is doing well that the business community the corporate community in the city Detroit.
We don't we don't have any.
Vacancies for new young people that are trying to move into the downtown area and to midtown into court town.
Certainly and -- government.
Is broken we have to become.
A better partner with our business community.
To fix some of the -- of the trite but we know what the solutions are.
We know the problems are -- we have as political leaders in the city Detroit the political will to make the tough decisions.
To right size the financial ship and become a better partner to help -- corporate business community.
I'll grow Detroit.
What if you're doing such a good job -- -- in the last 25% of your population.
Over the past decade now just repeat that -- you're having some technical issues there with your IFB.
But we couldn't help but you -- in researching this story.
That the city is the last 25% of its population -- -- they're not that long ago.
Lots of people leaving.
-- -- just can't seem to get the economy going lots of efforts to -- Citi.
And it's -- help frankly from the state of Michigan.
Why can't you get this back on track.
Well like every urban area in the country where we're suffering.
From the foreclosure that -- it just about every major city.
In the country.
We live and die by property taxes by sales taxes in my income tax and they're all coming -- shorter than anticipated basically.
Because of the property values in the city of Detroit.
But -- you know is starting to pick up around the country certainly Michigan is starting to pick up.
We just need a little more time in order to get our financial house in order.
In order to grow our economy so that I -- vibrant city of Detroit.
I've heard that before that's what they say in Washington we need more time to get our fiscal house in order I don't know how much time you want.
What do you make more sense -- look I know that you are probably playing.
All kinds a different groups are kinda different political groups who want to have their voice.
Wouldn't make more sense just to let the state come in and run this thing that's what they suggested have a financial officer come and say.
Here's what's happening we're gonna fix it this way and get it done instead of for years dangling over your own fiscal clip.
Yet -- unfortunately the way the state law as written any emergency manager can't go into union contracts and unilaterally.
Change down.
And so -- eight financial -- emergency manager coming into the city of Detroit.
Brand new it's gonna probably set us back a year.
We just need them you know -- have the political will to -- to make these decisions and get it done we know what needs to be done do we have the political will to get it done.
And I I don't want to sound like a broken record but it is really as simple as that an emergency manager can't do anymore.
Then what we're doing right now with the tools that would be available to them.
What was the first set.
That you think you need to take that that you haven't been able to.
Our -- I want you to -- -- -- what is the step that you -- what's the most important single most important thing you would do.
To fix the situation if you could.
Buy it's it's addressed public safety people are not moving into the city and -- in the -- -- because it's not perceived to be safe that's number one number two.
We have to -- educating our kids although we have L I have a lot of new young people moving into the city try to won't be young forever they will get -- -- have families they must have a way to educate kids.
And then thirdly we have to be -- it to deliver.
-- adequate level of services for taxpayer taxes paid and so again the business the corporate community.
They're rolling along their booming city government -- to fix itself so that we can become a partner to create an environment.
For businesses to.
Create the jobs and not I hear a lot of -- a lot of -- -- long term talk talk about.
Long term goals -- all sound great but your face an eight point four million deficit.
At the end of fiscal year 2012 long way -- -- What should come back and maybe we'll have that conversation Leary when you aren't having IFB troubles really appreciate your coming on the show thank you so much.
Thanks for having me.

Draft started?
I got a PM from VIN saying it is my pick but I don't who has been taken already.
RT has until 6:00 to make his pick (may as well go with the rules posted above). if at 6:01, he has not picked, gurrry can jump up and make his pick and then i can and so on. RT will be able to jump back in at any point and make a pick (but he'll obviously have to take someone who hasn't already been taken).
Not to complain, but maybe this isn't the best weekend to fire this up. I've been outside all day and don't really plan to spend Easter weekend glued to the computer. But if I get skipped, I get skipped I suppose.
now it's time for gurrry to pick lebron.
i am about to go run some errands so i'll go ahead and put my pick in now:
assuming gurrry takes lebron, give me dwight howard.
if gurrry takes anyone other than lebron, give me lebron.
How are we drafting round 2. (i.e same order, or person number 12 picks first in the second round and we go 12 to 1)
damn, i'm back and gurrry is still on the clock? do we need to pm him as well?
i can steal his pick??
if so, i want lebron.
BigO drafts LeBron. Gurrry/vin are on the clock.
idea: after you make a pick, you pm the guy who picks after you letting him know he's on the clock.
pm sent to vin2basketball.
You guys have to get more organized. Doesn't appear all involved are aware. Derka can you change thread title to inform who is on the clock?
what, you think 2 made picks and 1 missed pick in 5 hours is a bad pace or something?
I'll take Dwight Howard
rex on the clock. dare we get another pick in before midnight?
oh $#@!, we are scorching now.
Just to clarify: The team we are putting together will be judged for their ability right now - this season only? Ex: The fact that Tim Duncan may only have 2-3 years left in him should not be a factor? We aren't putting in a team to contend for the next 5 years, correct?
That means Lazy is on the clock, followed by MousRat and Mountaineer.
Taking a healthy Derrick Rose
PM sent to Mountaineer
i'm just waiting for gurrry to jump in front of someone and make a pick.
the suspense is killing me.
You know I was wondering where D Wade might go, and he might ne a steal at 10. He's certainly one of the 10 best players he's the world, he's one of the top 3 or 4 pure scorers in the league, and he's got a ring. Nice pick.
Lol, Gurrry has the no.1 pick and might completely miss the first round.
wow, that has to be a $#@!ing card. Song's knee looked like it even hyperextended a bit.
If Mitch hasnt made a pick by 4pm then i will make my next pick. Ive pm'd BigO with who I want if Im not here.
I'm out til later tonight. Looks like we may be taking a bit of a holiday break though...
Pau Gasol at pick whatever is a steal, especially considering his brother was drafted first. I was gonna take Gasol if Bynum wasnt there for me. Can't believe he fell that far.
I can't believe all the point guards are gone...

A light twin engined amphibious plane. Two planes of this type served in the IAF during the War of Independence. 176 Widgeons had been manufactured in WW2, for hunting down German U-boats. After the war, production was transferred to France, and the plane's definition was changed to 'marine transport'.
In the IAF, the planes served for transport over land between the different Heyl Ha'avir bases. One of the Widgeons crashed into the Sea of Galilee on December 2nd, 1948, killing three Mahal overseas volunteers who had been aboard. The second plane was retired in 1949.

Look back at some of the films that got a boost in Park City, then shook up audiences and the industry, from ''Stranger Than Paradise'' to ''Precious'' and ''Beasts of the Southern Wild''
The 2012 Grand Jury Prize winner was made with a shoestring budget and a flood of passion from its novice director. Lisa Schwarzbaum said of Beasts, ''The wonder is, the whole movie resists categorization. A feat of homemade, collaborative filmmaking, it was directed by the (29-year-old) Wesleyan-educated first-timer Benh Zeitlin from a script he co-wrote with Lucy Alibar based on her own play.... The movie is small, local, and idiosyncratic.'' Though the Bathtub-set indie got into some hot water with the unions for its casting policies, and its enigmatic concept seemed like box office poison, Beasts did steady business throughout the latter half of 2012. The film ultimately scored four Oscar nods including a historic one for 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, who was just 6 during filming. It seems summer moviegoers found a new kind of superhero in Beasts' heroine Hushpuppy. Lanford Beard

I wanted to let people know that I've read a Microsoft Press release that they're going to launch the final version of Internet Explorer 8 at noon EDT today, which I think is 17:00 UK time.
It's not clear at the moment if this is a download or an automatic update, but I would expect download only at first, so not such a large proportion of audience will be using it in the short term.
This doesn't seem to be very widely advertised at the moment, so could sneak up and bite those people who have not prepared their sites for IE8 compatibility.
Hope this message helps a few people be prepared.
Good luck!

MLB opener ratings up, but there's bad news
Ratings for the MLB Opening Night game on ESPN were up 4% from last year, as the Cardinals beat the Marlins in the opening of Marlins Park. Last year's game also featured the defending World Champions, as the Giants lost 2-1 to the Dodgers. This year's game drew 2.4 million viewers, and drew a 1.56 rating in men 18-49, which was up slightly (5%) from last season.
However, just like last year, MLB wasn't the sports king of the evening. The NBA once again trumped them.
Last year, ESPN ran a tripleheader of games that culminated with the Giants-Dodgers matchup in primetime. That game was the highest rated of the three games that aired that day for ESPN, yet it fell short of the ratings posted by the NBA on TNT doubleheader that night. The Celtics and Spurs drew a 1.70 in men 18-49 and 2.8 millon viewers, and the late game of the Mavericks and Lakers drew a 2.11 rating among males 18-49 and 3 million viewers. Both of those numbers slaughtered the baseball game.
This year, it was more of the same. Despite being up from last year in both demographics, MLB fell short once again. An NBA game on ESPN3 between the Thunder and Heat drew a 2.42 among males 18-49 and 3 million viewers, while following the Marlins-Cardinals game, a game between the Lakers and Clippers on ESPN had a 2.43 rating among males 18-49 and 2.4 million viewers.
