I was so excited to Tweet! And now I haven't tweeted in months. It is a time issue - would love to hear how others make it all work when you're pressed for time.
xoxo michele
ha ha. this post reminded me that i have a twitter account that i re-explored a couple of weeks ago after tweeting once in all of 2011! i keep meaning to tweet my blog posts at least....i'm kind of lost there. but facebook? love it for a daily scroll to keep up with a little news and see my brother's fabulous photos!
The enemies of God and of everything that is true, pure, lovely, and of good report have no qualms about using social media to advance their agenda. I figure that if God is in the business of making all things new, that includes technology. I say, use it for His kingdom and to thwart the purposes of evildoers.
And, welcome to Twitter. I'm going to go follow you around there now.
I'm on Google+, too. But I rarely go there.
I'm lost in twitter and google + land, although I'm signed up for both...I'll look to you to figure them out of me :)
I use twitter all the time. I mostly follow my pastors and some friends and just some random twitter accounts that I like. :) Google + I created twice and deleted it both times. No one is on there, and it doesn't seem to be catching on. Which sucks since I waited more than 3 months on their list to get on that site.
um, yeah. twitter. i found you. i followed you. i even left you a reply to your first tweet. . . somehow thinking that reply would show up on your wally thing? (what IS it called on twitter???)
anyway, yeah, that reply is on MY page, not yours. . . so how in the world do you even KNOW i replied to you???
ya see, these are the mysteries of twitter that make me feel old. incredibly, horribly old. i should just stick to tweeting my blog posts and leave it at that.
but then again, there's something in me that wants to conquer the thing. . . :-)
My blog posts are automatically tweeted to my feed, but I have to make myself engage on twitter. It's hard and I don't really like it. I read others' tweets, but rarely tweet myself. BUT, we do live in a social media world and although I don't like it, it is another way to stay connected and informed, as well as to put myself out there a little more (Also hard!)
maybe because of my age...I am a bit of a dinosaur...I don't have facebook...but I do know how to stalk...I don't tweet...I just started this thing called the blog world not too long ago...I will never say never...but this old dog may just be too old to tweet:)
Blessings as you tweet and sing:)
I rarely go to Google+ and I have not jumped on Twitter. If I do, I'll totally follow you. Maybe I'll get on Twitter when you get on FB? Deal?
I'm on Facebook and go in phases. Sometimes I'll go weeks without checking anything, then I'll be on there every hour for 2 days straight. I'm on Google+, but not many of my friends are active on there, so it's pretty dead. I'm not on Twitter. I just know it would be another time sucker and distractor, and I don't need that. Honestly, I don't know what I'd Tweet and to whom I would Tweet it. LOL! I added Pinterest to my list, and that can be a big time sucker as well. What did our moms do all day? Knit socks? LOL!
Join facebook. I need another friend.
Meh. I'm mostly indifferent. Facebook is annoying mostly, but some of my family is only on there. Gosh, if I didn't connect with them through facebook, I'd have to... I don't know, call them or something. Twitter, well, I'm getting used to... sort of. And Google +, well, I'm ignoring that for now. Good luck!
On Twitter, I just tweet my blog posts (other than the message I just sent you :)
Great post Amy. I totally get you about the Google+ thing. I can't figure it out. I have a twitter account, but I don't have a smartphone. Who in their right mind would have a twitter acct. without the proper type of phone? Yours truly. :) But I use all the social media thinga-majigy's for the advancement of His Kingdom! I love how all the women here have been connected by our Father's hand thru social media! The Gospel is being preached to the four corners of the earth as we all gather together and write what He has put on our hearts. He'll part our Red 'technical' Sea! Glad to get connected to you!
~jolene engle at The Alabaster Jar (I'd put in my link if I knew how!)
I've been thinking a lot about twitter but not for blogging. My hang up is what cool name should I use?!! If my handle is words of wisdom, then twitter is great, but if all I'm doing is reading, reading, reading them, why bother. Oh the conundrum! If I finally take the plunge, I will gladly come find you. Good luck and when you figure it out please put a blog up and give lessons for the rest of us.
I have been on twitter for ever and LOVE it (I am @multitaskingme) but Google + baffles me. The double edged sword of social media ;)
I have a Twitter account and even though I've never Tweeted a single peep I have followers - how does that happen? I don't really get Twitter.
I love FB and keep my privacy settings high so I can post 'hilarious things my children say/do' without my 14-year old knowing (we're not FB friends - the mortification would be too much) :)
Personally, I prefer Facebook - by far - to Twitter. That could just be me! I like the messaging system, for private conversations and I just prefer the look and feel of it (even though they do keep changing it up on us!) I've had a twitter account for about a year and basically just use it to tweet my blog posts. Occasionally I'll get in a brief conversation with someone, but I find it WAY too time consuming. I'm following you now, though. :>)
You, and this post, are just too darn cute!
OOOO! Anderson did his entire show on this today! (Liz watches him b/c she thinks he's hawt!)
I guess now I am the only twit left who doesn't Tweet, FB, Text!
Great rule of thumb: NEVER put on the WWW anything you'd be ashamed for your Mom or child to read. (this means you are safe dear friend!) Love!!
I'm worse! I don't tweet and I don't even know what google+ means. Will you tell me?
I'm still learning how to post links into my blog. . .I'm REALLY slow with all of this!
I'm with Kristin. I don't tweet and I don't know what Google+ is. I can barely keep up with Facebook!
My husband is hilarious on twitter, so are my girls. Me ... I am still holding out.
Nice to meet you, social media hold out :) I've been holding out longer, though.. b/c I still don't tweet or FB... my husband says the same thing many of your readers have- God can use social media for good. I'm thinking about that- may need to take the jump. Love your post- sounds like someone took my own internal struggle and copied it on your blog page :) Happy tweeting! If I ever join the blue bird wagon, I'll look you up!
I love it -- so many bloggers that are social media hold-outs like me!! Good to know. But sorry...can't help much.
I'm so excited to see you on Twitter, see the reason is that you have all these great connections for charity work and just seeing a tweet about bras reminds me I DO have some I thought about donating but thought it might be tacky :( so glad you posted this so I know what to do with them! See you're doing it right! Put out those opportunities and let God put eyeballs in front of them.
Hi Amy,
Just last year, I was not a fan of social media. Now I think I get it. I'm still not a fan of FB. I'm on, but don't use it much. I really like Twitter, though. Probably because with limited characters, it has to be to the point (which I like). I haven't done anything with Google+.
This probably isn't all that helpful, but just my opinions. Btw, I just followed you on Twitter. :)
Twitter: @LauraJRath
I don't have a clue about Google +, so can't help you at all there, but am on Twitter. But I've often thought the same thing you have, as in there are so many people out there with blogs and agendas and contests through all kinds of social media... where does my voice fit in? Should I try? So... will look for you on twitter. :)
Look at you all grown up and learning such BIG things...and joining twitter to boot! Now I've seen everything;}
I am constantly amazed at the scandalous grace He gives washing over my BIG and little mishaps...we'll never get enough and He'll never get tired of giving it as we learn the deepest lessons slowly...
Ah, all this tech talk. You guys crack me up and btw, I'm starting to love Twitter. I know. I know. Don't throw things.

FLINT TOWNSHIP -- Firefighters were dispatched to Westwood Village Mobile Home Park this morning to fight a fire in a home there.
It happened on the 2400 block of Northwood Drive in Flint Township.
The kitchen and the living room were consumed by the fire according to fire officials.
Firefighters tell NBC25 that they were able to put the fire out within 10 minutes of their arrival.
The residents of the home were able to make it out without injury.
The director of Westwood Village is collecting donations for the residents of the burned home at the park's main office, located at 3365 W Pasadena Ave, Flint Township.

Health analytics company looking to grow Ann Arbor headquarters
Dan Brenner | AnnArbor.com
The company, whose name is a combination of the words "truth" and "proven," helps organizations including employers, hospitals and the government analyze health care data and look for opportunities for performance improvement.
Courtesy Truven Health Analytics
"So we're right in the bullseye there."
Truven was created when New York-based private equity firm Veritas Capital acquired the former Thompson Reuters Healthcare Business housed in the 777 Building on Eisenhower Parkway. Before Thompson Reuters, the health analysts at the location had worked for a local company known as MedStat.
At the time of the sale, Thompson Reuters' CEO Thomas Glocer said the division was "growing and profitable" but "lack[ed] the integration with and global scale of our other untis." Veritas purchased the division for $1.25 billion.
After the sales and name changes, Newpol said the core functionality of the company has remained the same.
"We were very much a self-reliant unit," he said.
"We relied on Thompson Reuters for corporate infrastructure, their data center, and management information systems tools, but the people and all of the work we do with our customers was already in the unit. Separating out I don't want to say was real easy, but generally was not too hard."
Newpol said that since June the company has grown from about 715 employees to the current 730, but that the small increase belies the amount of change that has been occurring.
"We actually did a significant amount of local hiring in 2012," he said.
"There's a lot of work that we do that is project based. Some of that was coming to an end so it's natural for staff changeover to happen when you get into that Our more recently hiring has been more long-term than project based."
The health analytics firm headquartered in Ann Arbor employs about 2,000 people internationally with major offices in Chicago, Denver, and Durham, North Carolina. Newpol said hiring decisions are often made regardless of geography.
"I can't say exactly how many we will hire here in Ann Arbor because location is not our top concern," he said.
"We have a significant number of positions open though and this is a big important location for us and it gets fair preference organizationally if we can bring people here."
Newpol said the company is looking to hire new employees with a range of expertise, including data management, software engineering and health care analytics.
Truven's website lists 41 job openings in Ann Arbor that range from administrative assistant to vice president of clinical analytics.
"The things we're capitalizing on now is that there is more of a long-term change in the system," he said.
"The benefits exchanges as well as other systematic changes are coming, and we're evolving to meet those customer needs."

On the day after the festivities at the American Museum of Natural History, the star of the show—a 47-million-year-old primate fossil named Ida—is intact, but science is still recuperating from the massive media hangover. Jørn Hurum, the University of Oslo paleontologist who orchestrated the hubbub about the monkey–lemur intermediary, wasn't coy about his intentions. "Any pop band is doing the same thing, " he told The New York Times.
But the newspaper of record also coined the phrase the "Mediacene age," and the response from the science blogosphere was harsher than the entertainment press' response to Britney Spears' last attempt at a comeback. Called by its publicists a "missing link" in human evolution, the Darwinius masillae fossil was displayed for the first time in advance of a television documentary called "The Link" and a book, also called the "The Link." (Please click on this hyperlink to read the actual paper published in PLoS One)
The Great Beyond provided a roundup of the less-than-impressed responses from outside scientists who have reviewed the research. (But as you probably guessed, scientists have an ambivalent relationship with the media, particularly when it happens to shine brighter on one's competitors than one's colleagues).
So, what next? Will there be a backlash to the backlash, when the naysayers quiet down and realize that the fossil is still pretty neat? Will the pomp and circumstance get people thinking about evolution and visiting a museum that has lost a quarter of its $170 million endowment and $3.1 million in this year's city budget?
And while it is a popular misconception to call Darwinius a "missing link," the term is certainly more apropos than Fox News' choice of metaphors: the Holy Grail.

Previous: Mockingbirds quickly recognize repeat human intruders
The "chain" of evolution has many gaps - and they can be filled with many "missing links."
Perhaps the term was not wisely used as it was perceived as THE missing link, which has a very specific perception to the public and media.
Jesus did it.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thismaybe its just that some people have a difficult time understanding that pretty much all of science is hypothesis and theory... carbon dating or any other form of dating is a man created test using man created theories and therefore is wont to have fallacies. That being just a small example, one can expand it to pretty much anything, like attempting to piece together the evolution of a single celled organism into homo sapiens sapiens. From the Asexual single celled organism that was the basis of all life on Earth, if that is the case, to homo sapiens sapiens is a near infinite amount of missing links.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisOh my Papa,
to me you are so wonderful.
Oh my Papa,
to me you are the truth.
Science junkie: "maybe its just that some people have a difficult time understanding that pretty much all of science is hypothesis and theory"
And all of religion is faith. Considering that this is a science website, it would almost be a welcome surprise if such articles actually attracted comments that dealt with the issues which they pose. In the case of this article that would be the issue, not so much of the fossil itself, which still has to be scientifically evaluated, but whether the media circus which surrounded this fossil's public presentation is counterproductive to the science.
I certainly agree that 'missing link' is a ghastly term, and detrimental to a true understanding of what such fossils represent. But this article also points out that the museum in question has had both its endowments and its budget slashed, and I'm not going to be the one to hastily judge an enterprising little publicity hooplah on the part of that museum. Although it's still pretty sad that what is actually our collective human heritage is forced to engage in such tactics for its own benefit.
So, does this fossil represent a member of a species that underwent an evolutionary split from primitive lemurs into the direction of primitive monkeys?

More Moon and Venus
- ‹ Previous program
- 366 of 2172
- Next program ›
The evening sky bids farewell to the old year tonight with a beautiful display -- a close pairing of the crescent Moon and the planet Venus. And to perk things up a bit, two more planets line up below them, standing side by side as the last rays of twilight fade from view.
The Moon itself is beautiful all on its own. The Sun illuminates a tiny sliver of the lunar hemisphere that faces our way, creating the bright crescent. As the Moon descends the southwestern sky, it'll shine through an ever-thicker layer of air, coloring the crescent in shades of gold and orange.
And as twilight begins to drain away, the dark part of the Moon will shine, too -- lit up by sunlight reflecting off of Earth. This "earthshine" gives the Moon a ghostly appearance.
Venus is the brilliant "evening star" a little below or to the lower left of the Moon as they pop into view.
The two other planets hunker far below Venus and the Moon, quite low in the southwest, and drop from view not long after it gets dark. The brighter one is Jupiter, with Mercury to its left. Jupiter is the brightest object in the night sky after Venus and the Moon, so you shouldn't have any trouble spotting it.
So enjoy the beautiful sky on what we hope will be a festive but safe New Year's Eve.

Hi guys,
I am experiencing problems viewing the videos from the gallery on my Nokia N8-00. Turns out I have 24 recorded videos, but these do not appear in the gallery of images, only in the menu "Videos". Before I could see them in the gallery, but do not know what happened.
I've tried to copy the videos to the computer and then pass them back to the phone, but only appear in Videos menu, no at gallery.
Thank you,

Thanks for answering.
If I make a recording if it appears, but not old recorded videos. I want Nokia support me for a solution to the old videos can again be seen from the gallery.
I've tried several ways and the problem persists.
2012-03-05 10:14
2012-03-07 2:55
My videos are in the DCIM folder, so it should appear in the gallery.
2012-03-07 8:49
After updating my Nokia N8-00 to Symbian Belle I discovered that all the pictures shot with the phone after the update and all the videos shot with the phone after the update were saved under DCIM\100Nokia Folder and not the images or videos Folder as opposed to Symbian Anna.
The old Videos that were in the phone can be viewed from the Video Application and make sure that they are under the Videos Folder at the mass Memory because that is where my old videos are and i am able to view them via Video Application.
If you want to view them at the Gallery Application I suggest Moving the old videos to the DCIM\100Nokia Folder and give it a try and inform us of the results after the move.
2012-03-07 21:43
Unfortunately, moving the videos to DCIM\100Nokia seems not to be enough.
I also had to manipulate file times on the video file and move it forward to after belle update to get the video to show up in gallery. This is of course no good, since file time will be incorrect and video will not sort properly in gallery.
2012-03-08 16:41
Nokia always with errors of all kinds. :/
2012-03-13 23:00
I finally got this working by connecting to computer in mass-storage mode, moved the video files to DCIM/100Nokia folder and then deleted thumbnail cache in /Private/10281e17/[102830AB]thumbnail_v4.db on the same storage as my media files. Disconnected from computer and launched Gallery to update media.
2012-03-15 2:34
OK, I try...
2012-03-21 17:47
Sorry for the delay. I have done the same as you and has not worked. Probably the dates of the videos have been changed ... no? but it is very rare, the videos were not edited or anything.

Whew!! The 2010 election cycle is finally over!
There is a lot of noise this morning from both sides of the political debate. Republicans claiming a sweeping victory while Democrats trying to tell us this was not about the liberal agenda put for by the President.
It's all noise to distract us from the truth. The truth is that no politician, no political party, no one law (or the repeal of one) will make America what it has been.
America will regain its exceptionalism when Americans stop looking for people to blame and start looking for exceptional things to do!
If we, as a people take the reigns of exceptional thought again, and work together again for exceptional purposes, and only vote for politicians who are exceptional people again, and build, grow, and invent exceptional businesses, products and services again we will bring about real change!
As long as we settle for mediocre and expect nothing more we will fulfill the destiny of those who believe that government is the only answer and that people are not smart enough to think or be exceptional any more.
Rise up America, it is a new day! This is indeed the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida -- The woman wanted by police for harassing and riding on a manatee at Fort De Soto Park has turned herself in.
Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez, 52, called the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office shortly after 4 p.m. to turn herself in.
Deputies say she admitted to riding on the manatee. Gutierrez told deputies she's new to the area and didn't realize it was against the law to touch or harass the creature.
The sheriff's office says charges will be forwarded to the State Attorney's Office for prosecution.
Here in Florida we've heard it all, from teachers sexting students to horrible cases of animal abuse.
But this is a new one: a woman caught on camera over the weekend "MOLESTING" a manatee.
"Oh my God, the poor manatee," said a giggling Fort De Soto visitor Hannah Moore.
But Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gaultieri isn't laughing.
"If we could, we'd lock her up," said Sheriff Gaultieri.
The state of Florida has strict laws protecting the endangered manatee and harassing one can land the offender behind bars.
"The punishment is up to 60 days in the county jail and a fine, and that would be up to a judge," said the Sheriff who noted the woman could not be physically arrested unless the crime was witnessed by a deputy.
In this case, a woman was spotted riding on a manatee's back this past Sunday around 1:30 at Fort De Soto Park. Concerned citizens called police and one man even snapped several photos.
"This is probably one of the most egregious cases that we've seen of just an absolute disrespect for wildlife," said Gaultieri. "When you just hop on its back and want to go for a ride, I mean go ride a jet ski- don't use the animals."
The Sheriff's Office is now trying to locate the wanted woman who could face a misdemeanor charge. The Sheriff's hopes her bad example will educate others that messing with manatees is against the law.
Anyone with information on the case is asked by the Sheriff's Office to contact the Environmental Lands and Marine Enforcement Unit at 727-582-6200.

Stats from IMRG and Experian Hitwise released today show the ten most popular mobile retail sites in the UK. They are, as you may expect, almost the same as the top desktop sites, with the exception of Apple.
So, since these retailers have the most popular sites, (and they must be aware of this from their own analytics) you would expect that they have optimised for mobile users.
I've been taking a closer look at the sites..

This time last year I looked at the mobile sites for the UK's top 20 retailers to see which offered the best checkout process.
I found that there were a number of common flaws, such as forced registration, but in general the standard was quite high.
However I was also surprised to see that eight of the retailers were still relying on desktop sites.
As 12 months has now passed I thought it would be interesting to see whether the situation had changed at all and find out which retailers have made an effort to upgrade their sites.

Only 13% of consumers would be happy to store their credit card details on their smartphone, according to a new survey from The Logic Group.
The report again highlights the consumer mistrust of mobile technology, as only 30% of consumers trust major retailers to keep their personal information safe.
This is potentially a huge problem for online retailers as offering to store card details is seen as a way of improving the mobile checkout process and encouraging repeat purchases.
Furthermore, only a third of consumers said that they would be happy for their mobile to house their loyalty cards.

There is no exact template for designing mobile product pages as the small screen size means its up to each retailer to work out which features are most important for their customers.
On an ecommerce site you can afford to squeeze in almost any feature you want but on a smartphone you need to be more selective.
Even so there are a number of tools and functions that nearly all mobile sites should include, mainly because users expect to see them so leaving them out will damage the UX.
So with this in mind, here are eight examples of great mobile commerce product pages. All of them have flaws but also have features that are worth considering for your own mobile site.

Navigation is central to the mobile user experience as visitors want to be able to find what they're looking for or browse your wares with little fuss.
If they have to struggle with confusing menu options and numerous barriers then they'll become frustrated and jump ship to one of your competitors.
A new report investigating consumer opinions of mobile commerce has found that there is still a perception that the mobile web offers a poor user experience.
More than a third (37%) of respondents in the EPiServer survey agreed that many mobile websites are difficult to navigate, an increase from 32% in 2011.
With this in mind, here are 11 tips for improving mobile web navigation...

Local search has the potential to be an important customer acquisition tool for brick-and-mortar businesses, as a recent study found that 43% of all Google searches have local intent.
Furthermore, Google's Mobile Movement Study shows that 61% of mobile users call after a local business search.
So it's really important that shops, restaurants and hotels are optimising mobile landing pages correctly or the chances are they're missing out on potential sales and bookings.
This obviously starts with creating a mobile site in the first place, but the finer details include a noticeable click-to-call button that makes it easy for customers to get in touch.

Responsive design has proven to be one of the key digital trends of 2013 and is certainly one of the most popular topics on the Econsultancy blog.
The potential benefits of going responsive are obvious and we've previously highlighted several examples of ecommerce brands that have seen immediate rewards from adopting the technology.
However it does also need to be noted that building a responsive design requires a great deal of investment and isn't necessarily the perfect solution for all site owners, particularly when you take into account the problems it causes with advertisers.
Nonetheless, there has been a steady trickle of brands launching new responsive sits in the past few months so I thought it would be useful to compile a list of 10 notable examples.

Much has been said about mobile over the years. Every marketer, brand manager or head of multichannel knows that it's key to capturing customers on the move.
Over the years, retailers in particular have been developing and re-developing their mobile channels in an attempt to provide as quick and seamless an experience as possible.
But what is it that shoppers actually want from a mobile experience?
Once every six months we ask a group of shoppers to assess a selection of the top rated retail apps and mobile sites on the market, telling us what they like and what they don't like throughout the mobile shopping customer journey.

New mobile sites are normally a big deal for ecommerce retailers, but ASOS recently updated its m-commerce store without the need for any fanfare.
I can't find any official announcements about the redesign other than a tweet from director James Hart.
ASOS has been one of the major success stories in ecommerce and we frequently highlight its services and innovations as examples of industry best practice.
And as we previously reviewed the company's first mobile site back in 2010 it seems a good time to revisit the site and see how it's changed, so I took it for a test run using my Samsung Galaxy S2...

Publisher's Description
Satan is the master deceiver and his lies are endless. And the lies Christian women believe are at the root of most of their struggles.
"Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation," says Nancy Leigh DeMoss. "Many are in bondage to their past. Others are gripped by fear of rejection and a longing for approval. Still others are emotional prisoners."
In best selling Lies Women Believe, Nancy exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women -- lies about God, sin, priorities, marriage and family, emotions, and more. She then sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God's grace, forgiveness, and abundant life.
Nancy offers the most effective weapon to ounter and overcome Satan's deceptions -- God's truth!

SALAD DAYS is a comedic love triangle told through three interconnected stories. Caitlin (Emily Yoshida) is in the midst of a quarter-life crisis. She has created "Condor Hero," a profile to communicate with a secret Internet crush. Now she must decide whether or not they should meet in person. A devastating car wreck forces Alex (Dave Horwitz) to reexamine his lifestyle and salvage his past relationships, including reconciling with a lost love: his ex-girlfriend Caitlin. Anthony (Anthony Kuan), a misunderstood computer nerd, has the chance to meet the girl of his dreams–a geeky-cute video artist who he pines after on a social networking site. But finding an internet connection in order to contact her proves more difficult than he ever imagined. SALAD DAYS offers a funny and unique perspective on the identities people create to protect themselves from the frustration and heartbreak of relationships in the real
"At its heart SALAD DAYS is a film about love, but—like a well-curated Twitter feed–it touches upon several themes, including the uncertainty of youth, the intrinsically voyeuristic nature of social media, and (of course) the complexity of human relationships." -Joseph Albert, CAAM

Directed by Justin Kurzel
Starring Daniel Henshall, Lucas Pittaway and Craig Coyne
120 min, blu-ray
Based on horrifying crimes discovered in Snowtown, Australia in 1999, THE SNOWTOWN MURDERS is Justin Kurzel's directorial debut, a stark journey into a brutal subculture of suspicion, addiction and violence. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Cannes' Critics Week, the film follows Elizabeth Harvey (Louise Harris), a mother raising her three boys in a poor suburb. After her latest boyfriend displays pedophilic tendencies, she takes up with a new man, hoping for security but instead welcoming an even more vicious predator into her home. John Bunting (Daniel Henshall) is the moral compass of a self-appointed neighborhood watch who, fueled by cigarettes and beer, cast judgments on those living around them. Bunting enlists his crew in acts of sadistic vigilantism on those he considers deviants, and in the process takes Elizabeth's son Jamie (Lucas Pittaway) under his wing. THE SNOWTOWN MURDERS is an uncompromising film focused on the relationship between vulnerable teenager and a father figure who is revealed to be the worst kind of bully.

There's more than one reason that Touchback might draw Ohioans to cinemas — particularly those who, at another time of year, would be spending part of their weekend in stadium seating of a different kind.
Set in a small town in Mercer County, the football-centered fantasy-drama was written and directed by Ohio State University alumnus Don Handfield — and features the first location scene ever shot in a packed Ohio Stadium during a Buckeye game.
Not that Handfield's work should be given a pass out of regional pride or a passion for the gridiron: Touchback is shallowly sentimental and openly derivative, thieving some of its ideas from Peggy Sue Got Married and It's a Wonderful Life.
Brian Presley plays Scott Murphy, a former high-school football star in the rural farming community of Coldwater whose dream of attending OSU on a scholarship dies after a tackle during a 1991 state championship game leaves him with one leg in a brace.
Scott's adulthood consists of eking out a living as a farmer with his supportive wife, Macy (Melanie Lynskey), and their two daughters.
Bitter and deeply in debt, Scott attempts suicide. Instead of passing away, he comes to in 1991, in the days immediately before his life-changing injury.
Handfield posits the question of whether hindsight will alter Scott's fate, but the answer is clear early on. With so little intrigue surrounding the conclusion, one is left to focus on other elements of the film. Beyond the strong work from Lynskey and Christine Lahti as Scott's mother, those elements don't stand up well to scrutiny.
The themes of small-town nobility and the power of positive thinking are propelled with linebacker-like subtlety.
Playing Scott's coach, Kurt Russell handles much of the messaging and gamely tries to sell it, but Handfield's script doesn't give the actor much in the way of rousing rhetoric.
The most notable problem is Handfield's choice to use the same actors for both time periods, resulting in a high-school football team with visible crow's-feet. For those scenes, an engineering degree might be helpful to pull off the required suspension of disbelief.

He played 20 youth team matches in 2009/10 and was used as a sub in the FA Youth Cup campaign that season which ended with the trophy captured.
In 2010/11 he was the fourth highest appearance maker in the youth team and his improvement was rewarded with 10 reserve appearances, seven from the bench. He was in the starting 11 for the play-off final against Blackburn that Chelsea won to be crowned national reserve league champions.
A tall, competitive left-footer who reads the game very well and is good in possession, George played left-back as a schoolboy but can now fill in at centre-back. His older brother Jack is a former Chelsea youth team defender.
George signed a new three-and-a-half year contract in January 2012, committing himself to Chelsea until 2015.
The youngster made 17 appearances for the reserves during the 2011/12 season, and was part of a select group of younger players chosen to train with the first team towards the end of the season.
He was also a member of the squad which Dermot Drummy took to represent the club in the Hong Kong Sevens tournament at the end of the season, and went on the tour of the US with Roberto Di Matteo and the first team squad.
In the newly restructured Under-21s' league, George secured our Under-21s a point in the game against Crystal Palace when he scored both goals in a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park.
At the end of February 2013, it was announced that Saville would join Millwall on loan until 4 May. He made two starts and one sub appearance for the Championship side.
He begins the 2013/14 season on-loan at Brentford in League One where he will play until 5 January.

"Since we decided to call our son by his middle name, I was looking for a layout that allowed space for the full name, but also a place to feature his common name/nickname. This was one of the few layout across companies that allowed for this space in a layout I liked."
"This card is so beautiful! I didn't realize, at first, how the shading at te top was part of the card and not the photo that was imported, it made my picture evening amazing :) I recorded sooooo many compliments on it."
"This birth announcement was a huge hit with family and friends. The print was beautiful and turned out exactly as it looked on the computer. The pictures also look incredible. I have to admit that we did use "professional" photos in ours.... a hospital-based photographer visited us while we were still in the hospital to snap our photos. This made choosing the pictures very easy. We chose an up-close, color photo for the main picture at the top, and we chose two black and white photos for the bottom (one of our son's little feet and the other of his head being held in my husband's hands). I'm so glad I went with this card."
"This was a really nice announcement. It was supper easy to personalize, I tried many variations before deciding. I even put an extra picture on the back. Ordering was a snap. The shipping was really quick, in fact I was surprised how fast they came. The paper was a nice quality, and the printing was perfect. Everyone who received one commented on how cute they were (of course a cute baby will do that!). I feel like these announcements were a good value. I will definitely order from TinyPrints again."
"This announcement turned out great. I relcieved a lot of compliments on how nice it looked. The pearl white finish and round corners were worth the extra money. I would highly recommend this product."

Ask Lola
The Love Counselor
Last week, my girlfriend Hortonia and I were at some friends house for dinner. Everyone was having a great time when Hortonia, an artist who cannot leave her work at home, whipped out her instant camera and demanded that our hosts pose for her. This would have been just mildly inappropriate, in my view. But wheelbarrow position with our host acting as wheelbarrow while wearing a Groucho nose and holding a banana in his mouth, and our hostess balancing a snorkeling flipper on her head that struck me as over the top. I let Hortonia know, and were both still steaming. Whos right?
Riled in Rutland
Dear Riled,
You are. A pineapple or a boxing glove would have been perfectly fine. In this culture, however, forcing ones hostess to pose for a photograph while balancing a snorkeling flipper on her head strays over the line of common politeness. To be fair, however, perhaps Hortonia simply forgot where she was. In Rhode Island, as Im sure you know, a snorkeling flipper on the head signals appreciation for a delicious meal.

Sean Andros is tired—tired of hustling, tired of trying to make the rent, tired of running from his past.
But the past can chase you down in a heartbeat. Suddenly Sean's living a nightmare again and casualties are stacking up around him. The only person he can trust is Harry, a man twice his age and the closest thing to a friend Sean has ever known. Harry Connors has loved Sean since their first night together, and now, with danger hard at their heels, Harry will do anything to protect the tough, strangely vulnerable young man who begs him for help.
Harry had better be serious about offering protection, though, because the demons threatening Sean's life are no joke. Only a hard winter rain will wash away the evil that drove Sean Andros to the streets, and Sean and Harry are going to have to be strong if they plan on sticking around for the sun.
THE man was young, still in his twenties. His skin was pale and his hair so blond as to look almost white in a certain light. His eyes were the palest blue. And cold. As cold and unforgiving as this winter night he was driving through. But for those expressionless blue eyes and the cruel way they looked out at the world, he would have been handsome.
His body was tall and lean but well-muscled, and many women had noticed the way he filled out a pair of jeans. Men, too, if the truth were known. But the pale man ignored them all. His body, his seed, had never been shared, except by one. And even then, only once. And that had happened almost a decade ago.
He drove down a rutted gravel road with graded snow piled high on either side. The snow looked dirty and stained as it reflected off the headlights of his car. The night was bitter cold, and he had the car heater cranked up as high as it would go. The hot air blowing through the heater vents made the blood on his hands feel sticky against the steering wheel.
Minutes before, he had left the farmhouse that sat at the end of this road. The farmhouse he had known all his life. The man he had grown to become was a direct result of events that had occurred inside that farmhouse. The memories that had flooded over him when he stepped back inside that house tonight after years of absence had shamed him and made him angry. And excited him. His cock was hard even now. It had been an exhilarating night. At long last, after only a few minutes of work, he had severed all links to that house. All links but one. And that final link would be severed soon enough.
After several miles, the gravel road came to an end, and the man pulled onto a highway that would eventually lead him to his home. But it would not be his home much longer. Tonight he would sever that link as well, and his mission would truly begin. The mission God had set for him. The mission that would reconcile him with the weakness of his past and give him absolution for his sin. His one sin. The one flaw in a perfectly lived life. A life he had devoted to God even in his childhood. Upon completion of this mission, his one sin would be, at long last, forgiven.
He would know redemption.
But he had to be smart. And he had to be strong. The mission was not an easy one. God did not set easy tasks. And the man was not ready to be welcomed into heaven just yet. He had enjoyed the things he did inside that farmhouse tonight. It had been a new experience for him, but it did not seem new. It seemed like something he had been waiting for his entire life. It had unleashed a power inside him that he had always known was there but had never dared to express. Not until God told him to let that power go, to set it free, did he understand. It was like a light going on in a shuttered room. Suddenly, he could see everything.
He had known, long before entering that farmhouse tonight and beginning his mission to set things right with God, that he was indeed flawed. He was human, with human frailties and human desires. And he had come to know that it was those desires that flawed him. They made him less than perfect in God's eyes, and he would not settle for less than perfect. His faith was too precious to him to be brought down by sins of the flesh. Even now, he longed for a release from the torment of those desires. They lived in him at this very moment, even after all he had accomplished this night. The farmhouse, and the memories it stirred inside him, had brought those longings rushing back to him, angering him, feeding the hatred that gave him the strength to do what he had just done.
Tonight was only the beginning of the cleansing process. There was much more for him to do. More blood would be shed for his salvation. It had to be that way. Especially the blood of one. The one who had brought him down in the beginning, the one whose death would resurrect him from this imperfect life he found himself mired in.
His one desire. The desire that never left his body, like an ache that could not be healed.
His one sin.
He spotted the hitchhiker two miles from his home. The boy looked to be no more than seventeen. What he was doing here on this empty highway on such a bitterly cold night was anybody's guess. Perhaps his car had broken down somewhere, or perhaps he was just wandering.
If it was a future the boy sought, the pale man knew he would soon find it. With him. This night would be the only future the boy would ever know.
The boy was tall and lanky and built very much like him. When the man realized this, he knew that God had sent the boy to him. To find this young man here, on this icy, wind-swept highway, was nothing short of a miracle. A gift.
As he pulled the car over to the side of the highway and watched the young man jog toward him in his rearview mirror, he thought, Thank you, my Savior.
With a smile that felt alien upon his face, he pushed open the passenger door, patted the seat beside him with a bloodied hand, and beckoned the boy to his death.
Chapter One
OUTSIDE the west terminal of Lindbergh Field, a man stood clutching a new Samsonite travel bag. The bulky trench coat draped across his other arm told the skycap on duty that this man was an arrival and not a departure; therefore, his services would not be required.
The skycap, a black man named Charles Warren MacCauley, or Mac to his friends, studied the arrival with the eye of one who had seen a lot of humanity come and go over the years as he stood at his station outside the airport's main entrance. Consequently, he considered himself a pretty fair judge of human character. Since he had nothing better to do at the moment, Mac studied the arrival more closely. This was a ritual of his—a hobby, almost—which he had developed over the years to help him pass the slow times, what few slow times there were in this business.
Mac figured the man with the trench coat was on his first visit to San Diego because he looked kind of lost. Well, not lost exactly. Just… indecisive. And unhurried. The man was eyeing the sky and the palm trees that skirted the parking lot across the street like he had seen neither sky nor palm tree before in his life. And Mac also guessed the man was an infrequent traveler. The pristine Samsonite suitcase told him that much. Very few luggage items, Samsonite or otherwise, survived many trips on the airways unscathed. Mac knew that for a truism if he knew nothing else.
Luggage got chewed up around here on a regular basis.
Mac also came to the conclusion that the man was traveling for pleasure, not business. He was too unhurried for business. Business travelers didn't just stand around looking at palm trees; they whistled for cabs and checked itineraries and griped about the service. This guy didn't look as if he had ever griped about anything in his life. A very mellow fellow, Mac thought, chuckling inwardly at his own poetic phrasing.
He figured the man to be about thirty years old, if that. Clean profile. Light colored hair, so blond as to be almost white, thinning on top. By the time the guy hit forty Mac figured the ladies would be calling him Baldy behind his back. And the guy had a baby's complexion. Smooth skin. Not just smooth, but smooth. Unlined. Fragile looking. A real baby face, as if a safety razor would just peel the skin right off with the whiskers. December was a good month for this man to be visiting San Diego, Mac decided, because a summer California sun would not be kind to that pale skin.
Despite the baby-soft skin, Mac had to admit the guy looked like he could take care of himself. Solidly built, broad shoulders. Well over six feet tall. And big hands. Curled into fists, they would probably look like hams. But there was nothing menacing about the man. Or so he thought at first.
Mac thought he might have been staring a bit too long because suddenly the man turned. They made eye contact.
Mac responded with his standard noncommittal humble-nigger smile, the one that usually sat so well with most nonblack travelers. But this time his smile was not returned. The man's pale blue eyes, almost as pale as the skin around them, gave Mac nothing back in return, as if Mac were just another palm tree the guy had spotted.
Embarrassed, Mac flipped through a stack of luggage labels, trying to look busy. Trying, in fact, to look as if he had not been staring at this guy with the ice-blue eyes. For to tell the truth, the cold eyes that were now aimed in his direction made him more than embarrassed. More than uncomfortable, even. What they did, really, was scare the crap out of him.
How could he have ever thought this guy was mellow?
Those ice-blue eyes continued to burrow into Mac until Mac couldn't take it any longer. He made a pretense of checking his watch, as if it were time for his break or something, and then he got the hell out of there. He hurried into the terminal while trying not to look like he was hurrying. And for one second, as he waited for the automatic doors to whisk open, he turned to see if the pale traveler was still staring at him.
What he saw sent a shiver of fear shooting up his spine.
The man was grinning. And with the finger and thumb of his right hand, he formed the semblance of a gun, aiming the imaginary barrel straight at Mac's startled face.
Softly, but loudly enough for Mac to hear, the man said, "Bang."
THE man with the pale blue eyes blew invisible smoke from the barrel of his imaginary gun and turned away from the retreating skycap. The smile died from his lips, but inside his mind, deep inside, he still laughed at the comic figure of that frightened black man. They were such animals, really, he thought. So primitive. Perhaps he would seek a remedy for that particular abomination on his next crusade. But for now, he had more important fish to fry.
He retrieved his suitcase from the curb, stepped into the crosswalk, and headed for a string of Yellow Cabs parked along the opposite side of the street.
The man tossed his suitcase into the backseat of the first cab in line and climbed in after it.
"Downtown," he said to the back of the driver's head.
The driver checked him out in the rearview mirror.
"Downtown where, please?"
The man bristled at the cabbie's accent. Iranian bastard. Should be out in the desert somewhere watering his camel instead of trying to communicate with an honest-to-God American. But he held his tongue. No sense getting worked up. Things tended to get complicated and messy when he did.
"Just downtown," he repeated. "Drive around. Show me the sights. When I see a hotel I like, I'll let you know."
"Yes, sir," the cabbie said, squeezing out into traffic, happy to have lucked into a better than average fare. "I show you everything."
The pale man settled back and relaxed. He could afford to waste some time. It would be good to get a general picture of the city in his mind. And though such things rarely affected him, he had to admit that San Diego appeared to be an uncommonly attractive place. Ignoring the cabbie's broken-English tourist spiel, he looked over at the bay. Far across the water, an aircraft carrier was berthed; on this side, sailboats gently swayed at their moorings. The air smelled of fish and salt water. Towering palm trees lined the roadway. Joggers were a rare commodity in the middle of December where this man came from, but here they were everywhere, futilely trying to outrun their own mortality. The man in the backseat of the cab had seen people trying to outrun death before and knew it to be a hopeless undertaking. People were such amusing fools.
Harbor Drive, clogged with traffic at this evening hour, followed the graceful curve of the bay. Soon, the man saw before him the San Diego skyline. Not as grandiose as some, perhaps, but commanding, the lines of it clean and precise in the smog-free air. Farther south, the Coronado Bridge, a graceful blue ribbon of concrete and steel, arched its tall back across the water, connecting the city to Coronado Island. A Navy destroyer with the number "13" stamped across its bow passed slowly beneath the bridge. Sailors in winter blues flanked the rail of the ship, they, too, watching the city skyline as they made their way out to sea.
A dark band of clouds on the horizon promised them a stormy reception. As yet, the rain had not drifted inland, but the smell of it threatened the air. It would arrive before morning if it did not veer south toward the Mexican coast.
The cabbie turned left, leaving the bay behind to cruise up Broadway. This was the heart of San Diego. Bustling. Crowded. It was rush hour and cars were everywhere. Roaring city buses cleaved their way through traffic. A red trolley clanged a warning to pedestrians standing too close to the tracks. Fountains sparkled pink in the setting sun. As he watched, someone somewhere in the bowels of the city flipped a switch and yellow streetlights came on. Their poles were decorated for Christmas, angels and stars on stiff red banners that did not move in the wind whipping inland from the ocean.
And people. People everywhere. Most well dressed, many lugging their Christmas shopping in colorful bags from Nordstrom's, F.A.O. Schwartz, and smaller specialty shops. A young man awkwardly pushed a new bicycle with training wheels along the sidewalk. A bag lady with scabby legs reached for a handout with one hand while the other clutched a shopping bag from Neiman-Marcus filled to overflowing with what looked to be rags. San Diego, the man knew, was a haven for the homeless. Here the rats and vermin clustered. It wasn't only tourists who came for the balmy weather. Here the homeless could sleep, unmolested, on street corners and under freeway overpasses, without fear of freezing to death even in the midst of winter. This city cared for them. Fed them. Clothed them. Tolerated them. Treated the scum of the earth like royalty. This was another crusade the man might launch one day. Even now, his fingers tingled with the anticipation of it.
But first things first.
He tapped the cabbie on the shoulder, interrupting the man's endless prattle, and handed him a slip of paper.
"Find this address for me," he said. "Just drive by it. Don't stop. After that, you can bring me back to that hotel there." He pointed to an imposing gray structure straight ahead, one with flags flying from its front edifice and a top-hatted doorman looking ridiculously out of place on the sidewalk outside. Across the street from the hotel a gazebo-shaped fountain spewed water under a blue light. Holiday music could be heard coming from speakers hidden somewhere at the base of it.
The driver nodded. "U.S. Grant. Very fine hotel."
"Good," the man said. "Now find that address for me before it gets dark."
The cabbie nodded again. "Yes, sir. It's not far. Just up the hill."
Five minutes later, the cabbie slowed in front of an aging apartment building on Walnut Street. Untrimmed palms stood like fat sentinels in the yard outside. With a coat of paint and a half hour of labor with chainsaw and axe to get rid of those ugly trees, the place wouldn't look so bad, the man thought. Still, it would be nothing more than he had expected. A hovel. A fitting home for the person he had come these many miles to administer his particular brand of justice to.
The sky was almost fully dark now. A light switched on in one of the upstairs apartments. The man's heart quickened as he leaned closer to the taxi window, peering out. He wondered if his quarry was there, puttering around the kitchen, perhaps, or feeding his fucking cat, if he had one.
The pale man's fingers commenced to tingle again. He felt a tightness in the crotch of his slacks as his cock stirred. God's work was beginning.
He could hardly wait.
Fat raindrops began to pepper the cabbie's windshield. And just like that, the man thought, the storm begins. A cleansing was about to take place in this city. He wondered just how many souls would be swept away in the rain of God's wrath.
And his own.
