It would be difficult to imagine a more promising or electric series of debuts for a young American actor than those of the fresh-faced, fair-haired
Corin "Corky" Nemec
, who burst onto the scene as a teenager in the late '80s with several memorable turns that put him on the pop-culture map.
began whimsically, as Nicky Papadopolis -- the nephew of
Alex Karras
' former football player-turned-sportscaster George Papadopolis -- in the fifth and final, syndicated season of the hit sitcom
. That program wrapped by late 1988, but by that time,
had already graduated to feature-film work, with a skillful portrayal of the teenage son of auto mogul Preston Tucker (portrayed by
Jeff Bridges
), in
Francis Ford Coppola
's pet project
Tucker: The Man and His Dream
even surpassed this debut one year later, with his haunting portrayal of the sexually assaulted and brainwashed abductee Steven Stayner, in the superior telemovie
I Know My First Name Is Steven
; it remains a benchmark by which current made-for-television films continue to be judged. Ultimately, however,
gained iconic status among younger Gen X-ers as Parker Lewis, the impossibly sweet-natured but crafty and resourceful high-school student on the Fox network's sitcom Parker Lewis Can't Lose (1990-1993). The program featured bizarre camera angles, accelerated and decelerated action, and wall-to-wall surrealist gags (such as one character's penchant for whipping vanilla frozen yogurts with Gummi bears out of his trench coat). Audiences flocked to it, and kept it on the air for three seasons, while the similarly themed NBC series Ferris Bueller folded within a couple of months.
remained with Parker Lewis for the duration of its run. The program continues to retain a loyal cult following, comprised largely of its initial viewers. Over the years following this program,
alternated between occasional roles on such hit series as
NYPD Blue
Beverly Hills 90210
, and
, and bit parts in innumerable telemovies and big-screen features -- though none even came close to matching the high profile or notoriety of Lewis. Though an extremely versatile actor, equally adept at comedy and drama,
gravitated most heavily toward direct-to-video and made-for-television horror pictures in the early 2000s. He was particularly memorable in

McBride: Murder Past Midnight
This Hallmark Channel TV movie is one of a series starring John Larroquette as McBride (no first name), a hard-nosed cop turned compassionate defense lawyer, specializing in "lost causes." Serving on a jury in the trial of Claire Harriman (Paula Trickey), McBride is not persuaded that Claire attempted to poison her business-tycoon husband. Though the proceedings end in a mistrial, Claire's reputation is in tatters, and she turns to Bride in hopes of proving her innocence during the inevitable retrial. Although it turns out that practically everyone who knew Claire's late husband--especially the members of his immediately family--had ample motive and opportunity to bump him off, McBride begins to wonder if he has allowed his heart to rule his head, and that Claire may just be guilty after all. McBride: Murder Past Midnight initially aired February 4, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Filmed under the title Breeders, the made-for-cable thriller Brother's Keeper concentrated on, as the print ads so delicately described it, "A serial killer -- a fallen cop." Throughout her life, Lucinda Pond (Jeanne Tripplehorn) has looked after and protected her younger brother Ellis (Corin Nemec), whose aberrant mental state was the result of constant abuse at the hands of his father (Brian Jensen). As an adult, Lucinda worked as a criminal investigator, while Ellis pursued a criminal career. Despite this, Lucinda continued to shelter her brother, carefully covering up for his many crimes. Fired for bungling the investigation of alleged serial killer Victor Orbin, Lucinda opens up a boat and tackle store at a remote lakeside community. Local homicide detective Travis Adler (Leland Orser) invites Lucinda to participate in another murder investigation, this one apparently perpetrated by the same killer who indirectly cost Lucinda her badge. At the same time, Ellis escapes from jail and goes off on a homicidal spree of his own, eliminating those whom he feels did his sister wrong, as well as a few abusive parents along the way. Gradually, Lucinda begins to deduce a connection between Ellis' escape and her current investigation -- but will she continue to protect her kid brother despite his murderous rampage? Brother's Keeper made its USA Network bow on January 29, 2002; it was supposed to have premiered as My Brother's Keeper, but this title was changed at the last minute to avoid confusion with the like-vintage CBS TV-movie My Sister's Keeper. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

To compensate for the temporary defection of Stargate SG-1 regular Michael Shanks, the series' producers contrived to have Shanks' character Daniel Jackson lay down his life to save his SG-1 comrades, whereupon his soul passes to "another plane of existence." Thus, the series' sixth season finds Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec), emissary from the planet Kelowna, taking Jackson's place with the SG-1 team--mainly because Quinn feels responsible for Jackson's death. Team leader Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is agreeable to Quinn's decision, inasmuch as he needs all the help he can get to vanquish the evil Anubis (David Palffy), who possesses the power to potentially cause all Stargate portals in the universe to destroy one another. Also, O'Neill is a bit worried over the loyalties of Jaffan crewman Teal'c (Christopher Judge), who, brooding over the death of his wife, is wondering if it was a good idea to renounce his loyalty to the hated Goa'uld and cast his lot with the Stargate crew. This season, the SG-1 personnel come across a small alien town that, in true "Cold War" fashion, is a living laboratory for a sinister secret experiment. Also, an assassin plagues Stargate Command's Alpha Site, but no one knows whose side the killer is on; later, O'Neill himself is implicated in a plot to assassinate the pesky senator who has continually blocked funding for the Stargate project. Plus, redoubtable intergalactic con artist Maybourne (Tom McBeath) hoodwinks Jack into transporting him to a "utopian" planet that is anything but; and Teal'c is tormented by weird dreams in which the SG-1 crew have all become firefighters--but is it truly a dream? The sixth season of Stargate SG-1--which, incidentally, is the series' first season at its new cable home, the Sci-Fi Channel--finds the "deceased" Daniel Jackson back on the planet Abydos, site of the original 1995 Stargate movie, bracing himself and the locals against an assault from Anubis--a plot development that is intimately linked with Jonas' discovery of the all-powerful Eye or Ra, which will of course become all-deadly in the Wrong Hands. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It is a strange conglomeration of humanity that is trapped together during a power outage in a suburban shopping mall. Among the "prisoners" are single mom/law student Kathy Robbins (Jane Seymour), her son Eric (Corin Nemec), and her daughter Blair (Alexandra Picatto). Fifteen-year-old Blair in particular has a lot to worry about when she is stalked by an unidentified psycho, who has armed himself in an abandoned sporting-goods store. By the time the audience is apprised of the identity of the would-be murderer, it is painfully obvious that Blackout can hardly be construed as "Family Fare." Directed by star Seymour's husband James Keach, this made-for-TV film first aired over CBS on January 24, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Karl Hirsch directs this irrepressibly dumb buddy flick about pot, farts, and the CIA. Waylon (Corin Nemec) and Buzz (David Faustino) are a lifelong pals and lifelong losers; at the film's outset, they are canned from yet another job. After deciding to inaugurate their newly-unemployed status by looking for some women, they run into a couple of comely lasses (Caroline Keenan and Danielle Harris) who challenge them to do one thing right: to cross town and pick them up a particular snack-treat. A simple task, but then, they're simple guys. They end up breaking into a convenience store and get locked in. In the basement, they discover a huge pot-farming operation and proceed to smoke

Silencing Mary
The scene is Cornwell University, where college journalist Mary Stuartson (Melissa Joan Hart) shares a dorm room with Holly Sherman (Lisa Dean Ryan). Returning to the room one night in a battered state, Holly tells Mary that she has been raped by the school's star athlete, Clay Roberts (Josh Hopkins). Mary urges Holly to alert the authorities, but Holly is afraid of what the incident might do to her reputation--and besides, who'd take her word over Clay's? Galvanized into action, Mary investigates the situation and unearths several other examples of date rape that have been swept under the rug on campus. She then writes a series of articles about fictional rape victim "Molly", thereby making herself a target of persecution, recrimination and retribution by students, faculty members and "townies" alike--but Mary isn't the sort of young woman who backs down when she knows she's right! This made-for-TV drama was produced by the mother and aunt of star Melissa Joan Hart, and features Melissa's younger sister Emily Hart in a supporting role. Silencing Mary originally aired March 8, 1998 on NBC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This United States/Philippine co-production examines how the real-life closing of the U.S. naval base at Subic Bay profoundly effected both the local Filipino community and the Americans who had served there. As the base's operations slowly wind down and naval manpower begins to dwindle, Commander Hamilton (Wolfgang Bodison) relies on three Navy SEALs to help keep the base secure. William Hawk (John Haymes Newton), a longtime soldier nearing the end of a tour of duty, is involved with Lisa Velasquez (Nannette Medved), a representative of the Mayor's office in nearby Olongapo City. Lisa has to deal with the economic crisis that the base's closing will doubtlessly bring to her community, as well as her own personal problems brought on by William's imminent departure and the strained relationship of her mother Anna (Daria Ramirez) and stepfather Ed (James Brolin). Paul Bladon (Alexis Arquette), another SEAL with the Subic Bay base, is the son of a U.S. Senator (Michael York), who will be visiting Subic Bay for the base's closing ceremonies. Sen. Bladon is bringing along Paul's girlfriend Angela (Maureen Flannigan), though Paul has fallen in love with Emma (Alma Concepcion), a former prostitute who now plans to marry Paul. The third SEAL, John Stryzack (Corin Nemec), is furious over what he sees as America's betrayal of its responsibilities in the Philippines; he winds up behind bars after a violent incident, but he plans to escape to assassinate Sen. Bladon, whom he believes is responsible for the closing of the base. Rae Dawn Chong also appears as a U.S. military investigator. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This old fashioned service comedy is suitable for the whole family. It is set in Vietnam during the war and chronicles the efforts of a small band of Green Berets as they endeavor to help out a beleaguered village located next to a major supply route for the Viet Cong. The leader, Capt. Sam Cahill has been working overtime to create good relations between the American soldiers and the villagers so he can use their little town to monitor enemy activities. Unfortunately, Cahill is slated to retire and his replacement is shaping up to be the classic Ugly American. It is he who accidentally lets the North Vietnamese know that the hapless villagers have been harboring American soldiers. To punish them, the VC shoot the only elephant in the village. To help the villagers, Cahill goes against the wishes of the new leader and promises to replace the slaughtered beast in time for an important local ritual. The trouble is, the Americans have only five days in which to find and bring back an elephant; they find one, but it is 200 miles from the village. The men decide the only way to do it is to load the beast aboard a transport plane and send it to the village via parachute. Now all they have to do is figure how to engineer this feat. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Power to the Community Activists talking with an asylum seeker from Cameroon South Tel Aviv has a bad reputation. A marginalized low-income neighborhood, it has been making news for being a place of tension and intolerance. In the past few years, the neighborhood has also become the first port of call for African asylum seekers. The rapid increase in their numbers has led to conflict with the veteran residents, with unscrupulous politicians fanning the flames. The situation reached its low point in May 2012, when a group of right-wing politicians led a rally against asylum seekers in the area. Likud MK Miri Regev spoke at the rally and called the migrants "a cancer". Since then, there has been intermittent violence targeting the asylum-seeker community, including physical attacks and arson. Activists talking with an Eritrean shopkeeper Twice a week, activists from the group hit the streets of south Tel Aviv to reach out to the local community. Oscar Olivier talking with an asylum seeker Afterwards, they met an Israeli from Tel Aviv's trendy Florentine district who works in the neighborhood. The man was keen to read the leaflet outlining the group's work. Power to the Community doesn't just run joint patrols. They organize a weekly demonstration drawing attention to the lack of security for women in south Tel Aviv. They also run a hotline that residents can call if they have trouble with bureaucratic issues.

There's a moment at Christmas gatherings, usually as the first wave of escapees each has one boot on at the door, when someone's aunt wails, "Wait, I have to get a Christmas picture with everyone!" Groans, sighs and last-second teenage pleas for individuality burst like soggy confetti, while pets are disrespectfully yanked from their warm and danced-in couch depressions. Forestalling the freedom flight out into the remote-started, bucket-seat womb, the family photo exposes a lack of portrait enthusiasm; the left-on winter gear underlines it.

TUCSON - If you ever had to make a 9-1-1 call it's a stressful situation.
Now just imagine you make a call to 9-1-1 but instead of reaching help nearby, you are unknowingly talking to a dispatcher hundreds of miles away possibly delaying the help you need.
It happened to a Tucson man. So the News 4 Tucson Investigators wanted to find out how and what are authorities doing to fix the problem.
"There was a man walking to take his seat and he just missed stepped and he fell down and cracked his head." The man who made that emergency call did not want to be indentified in this story but he was willing to tell us about the experience.
The man who fell was seriously injured, bleeding from his head.
"I decided I would jump on the phone and call 911." He made that call from a cell phone with a standard provider. I(t was not an internet based VoIP system)
The Investigators obtained a recording of the 9-1-1 call but we didn't find it in Arizona. We received the recording from a 9-1-1 operations center in New Mexico.
Here's how it went down: the caller provided the address of the incident on East Broadway then confusion kicks in. Precious moments tick away as the dispatcher tries to determine the location. Then at 1:24 into the call this exchange:
Caller: It's by Park Mall on Broadway and Wilmot.
Dispatcher: In Deming right?
Caller: In Tucson.
Dispatcher: In Tucson?.
Caller: Tucson, Arizona.
Dispatcher: OK this is Deming....New Mexico.
Fortunately for the patient another person also made a 9-1-1 call and Tucson Fire responded.
So how was a 9-1-1 call routed 215 miles away?
The Investigators went to Phoenix to ask Barbara Jaeger this question. She is Arizona's 9-1-1 Administrator. Jaeger tells us she's never heard of a 9-1-1 call misrouted this far away and she says wireless technology is complicated.
"It could be within the cellular network. It could be within at the mobile switching center."
The Investigators discovered the provider AT&T was performing routine maintenance at the facility where this call was routed.
AT&T declined an on camera interview with the Investigators but they did provide this statement via email:
"This was an isolated issue caused when the call was routed incorrectly by the wireless switching center serving the area. We worked quickly to resolve it more than seven weeks ago, and we've had no reports of similar issues since that time. We apologize for the confusion it caused for this caller."
Jaeger tells us, next generation technology will help pinpoint the exact the location of where a call is made. That technology is already in the process of being implemented.

March 19th, 2009 by robin in wine making, wine making tips
This is going to be the first in a series of blog articles focusing on wine making problems. One of the best ways to ensure great wine making results is to understand the most common errors people make.
Mistake #1: Inadequate Equipment
Winemaking equipment, such as fermentation pails, carboys and spoons often seems similar to items that may be around the home. However, in many cases, proper wine making equipment and utensils are made of special materials, and this can influence your finished product.
Re-using plastic pails from other sources, like buckets that previously held food products, is always a mistake. The food odors will have sunk into the plastic, and will taint the wine. Also, plastic items not intended for food purposes, such as brand-new garbage pails must never be used for wine making. The pigments, UV protectants and plasticizers (chemicals used to keep the plastic from becoming brittle) will leach into the wine, and could affect your health.
Saving a few dollars by using suspect equipment is not worth it. It is better to invest in good equipment to help ensure the quality of your wine.
Tomorrow Wine Making Mistake #2 – Cleaning and Sanitizing….

GRANTVILLE, Ga. (AP) — When the cotton mill closed, the rural Georgia town of Grantville began a slow transformation into a ghost town.
Residents fled. Storefronts faded. Buildings decayed.
GRANTVILLE, Ga. (AP) — When the cotton mill closed, the rural Georgia town of Grantville began a slow transformation into a ghost town.
Residents fled. Storefronts faded. Buildings decayed.
Over the decades, time turned the remains of the town into something almost post-apocalyptic, the perfect modern-day set for humans and "walkers" to attack one another. That's how the hugely popular TV show "The Walking Dead" ended up coming to town and bringing new life to Grantville.
Several key scenes in one episode from the AMC series were filmed on and near a one-block stretch of antique buildings on Grantville's Main Street.
The series' fourth season premieres on Oct. 13. Crews have been filming the new episodes in Georgia, but they keep locations of future episodes closely guarded secrets until the shows air.
In Grantville, the town's ruins were featured prominently last season. Bodies of walkers slain on the show were buried in a vacant lot beneath the brick archway remaining from a cotton mill building. Gunshots were fired from a nearby rooftop.
And actor Chandler Riggs, who plays a boy on the show, entertained himself between scenes by placing pennies on the railroad tracks, the coins soon smashed into souvenirs by passing freight trains.
Now, every Saturday, visitors from around the country and the world turn off Interstate 85 and onto a two-lane highway that leads to the tiny town 49 miles southwest of Atlanta.
Since last summer, more than 3,600 visitors have taken a free tour led by Grantville Mayor Jim Sells, who explains where each scene from the "Clear" episode — during which the character Morgan makes it his mission to "clear" walkers by killing them — was filmed.
Visitors have come from as far as Australia, Singapore and Brazil, giving new life to the town through tourism, Sells said. He calls it phenomenal, but adds: "We don't understand it."
"Nobody came after they filmed 'Lawless' and 'Broken Bridges' here," he said, referring to movies shot in the town.
"But once this episode aired from 'The Walking Dead,' people started showing up from all over."
The cotton textile industry once fueled the economy of Grantville and the other towns in Coweta County, where a stretch of Interstate 85 is named the Alan Jackson Highway, for the country singer who grew up in nearby Newnan and wrote the 1993 hit song about the Chattahoochee River.
Grantville eventually became known by residents in the area as "the liquor exit" — it's the only place in Coweta County to buy bottled liquor. But Sells said that "when textiles left, this town died."
Then came the film crews.
Though Union troops destroyed train stations in many Georgia towns near the end of the Civil War, Grantville's survived. The mayor recalled how "Walking Dead" production crews took just four hours to transform the old freight depot into a restaurant where actors battled zombies. The trains a few feet away occasionally interrupted filming, Sells said, since railroads typically don't share train schedules with film crews.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - State lawmakers Thursday agreed to pay the most recent batch of legal bills stemming from the wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former Republican staffer in the aftermath of a Capitol sex scandal.
The Senate Rules Committee voted to pay an invoice of $90,226 from law firm handling the Senate's defense of an employment discrimination case brought by former Republican Senate communications director Michael Brodkorb.
Senate Majority Leader David Senjem of Rochester, who chairs the committee, said that settling the case out of court is not a valid option. He said he expected his replacement, Democrat Tom Bakk, to continue the legal battle.
"It would be precedent-setting for the Senate but also can be perceived as some sort of a cover-up," Senjem explained.
"This case needs to go forward in the openness of a court session, and be decided. I don't think we ought to simply settle because it's convenient, or that it's less costly."
Senjem was one of several Republican senators who confronted then-Majority Leader Amy Koch one year ago about an extramarital affair with Brodkorb, who was also serving as her chief of staff.
They urged Koch, a Republican from Buffalo, to step down from her leadership post. She relinquished that position but remaining in the Senate her final year.
At the time Koch didn't publicly identify which staff member was involved. But on the following day Senate Secretary Cal Ludeman told Brodkorb he no longer had his job at the State Capitol.
"I never said he was terminated," Ludeman told KARE on Thursday.
"I said he was separated. Everything that you've learned about this case comes from the plaintiff, not from me."
The thrust of Brodkorb's lawsuit is that he was treated differently from female staff at the State Capitol who've been romantically involved with married legislators or other supervisors there.
His legal team has assembled a list of other people involved in such interludes, and will seek depositions from them to support his case that he was discriminated against because of his gender.
The Senate Majority Caucus, in its response to Brodkorb's lawsuit, contends that he could be fired without any reason or justification because he was an "at-will" employee. In other words, he was a political appointee rather than someone hired through the civil service system, which features a set of due process system for those who are terminated.
Running tab
The running tab on the case has now exceeded $200,000, more than twice what it would've cost to keep Brodkorb on staff for the past year. The most expensive portion of the case, depositions and pre-trial motions, haven't started yet.
"The Legislature's not insured for this, so it's coming right out of the hide of the taxpayers at this point," David Schultz, a political analyst who teaches at the Hamline University Graduate School of Management, told KARE.
"In the private sector, the private business world, a case like this would've been settled out of court a long time ago."
One incentive for lawmakers to settle, according to Schultz, is to avoid further distracting scandals if Brodkorb's legal team goes through with depositions of people involved in past affairs.
He said another strong motivation for Republicans in particular is that Democrats, when they assume control of the Senate in January, will become the "clients" for the private law firm defending the state.
"The Democrats will suddenly have access to a lot of information that was privileged up to this point, that only the Republicans knew. If they choose to waive privilege, they can reveal a lot of details that won't be good politically for Republicans."
Setting a precedent
Ludeman said the Senate would have a hard time functioning if leaders couldn't hire people as "at-will" employees and fire them when desired.
Senjem echoed that sentiment.
"If you settle now for whatever amount of money it is, you're going to have many claims going down the road -- based on this settlement -- that you're not going to be able to defend," he said.
"And it will cost in the long-run much, much more."
Ludeman said the money has been well spent in his opinion because the private law firm -- Larkin, Hoffman Daly & Lindgren -- has done well for the Senate. He said that five of Brodkorb's original ten claims have been dropped.
Both sides are awaiting a ruling from US District Judge Susan Richards Nelson on the Senate's motion to dismiss three of the five remaining claims. Nelson issued a gag order on all parties when it comes to discussing the terms that were offered during closed-door settlement negotiations supervised by the court.
Ludeman is also a defendant in a separate cause of action in Brodkorb's lawsuit, because of a letter Ludeman released to the press last spring accusing Brodkorb of trying to extort a settlement.
Brodkorb and his lawyers did not comment about the Senate's action Thursday.

Rapha x Andrew Todd
© Todd
Andrew Todd collaborated with Rapha in designing the recently released Gentleman's Caps and also the latest paisley pattern for the Silk Scarf. I talked to him about these idiosyncratic creations and what it was like working with Rapha.
Todd, where did the initial idea for your cap designs come from?
My objective was to take something classic and push it a little further with technology and function, whilst also maintaining a subtle overview. I'd previously seen the Paul Smith x Rapha tweed-style caps, and wanted to see how I could move with a similar concept.
I like the strong theme of British tailoring coming through. Obviously with the Barbour-inspired waxed cotton cap and the hunting design, plus the dandyism of the polka style, they all hint at the heritage brands that seem to have had a resurgence recently, such as Burberry and Aquascutum. Was this something you were conscious of?
It's great that these companies are able to continue what they set out to do, though Burberry and Aquascutum have drifted into higher fashion. I'm more a fan of the smaller traditional companies such as Barbour, Gloverall, and Brady bags.
When I began designing the caps I looked at a number of classic items. Whether or not they were 'in fashion' wasn't relevant. I looked at handmade shoes and hats, handkerchiefs, ties, classic workwear and functional accessories.
I always wanted a wax cycling hat and couldn't believe their wasn't a modern version on the market. It had to resemble the classic jacket though, right down to the mesh eyelets and corduroy. I think the two other styles are pushing the cycling cap even further. Caps you could get married in!
Cycling caps almost seem like a blank canvas for designers because they are simply constructed and usually quite a basic shape.
Like the T-shirt, a cycling cap is a simple shape that can be modified with so many prints and logos. However, it's nice to go beyond that and actually change the textiles or even the shape.
That way you can create designs for every occasion. For example you could design a much more high tech cap with the latest future fabrics for hardcore rides, or you could design one made of possum fur if that's your thing!
How do you view urban cycling clothing at the moment?
When it's made by people who love cycling for like-minded people then it's great. When it's a big company wanting to jump on the next trend and have no element of functionality then it's not worth bothering with. I prefer those who concentrate everything on cycling and performance. If they can do that whilst adding a sense of style then they have my vote.
What was the design process like, how was working with the Rapha design/product team?
It really was a pleasure. On my second visit I returned with a sketchbook full of ideas. I think deciding on three caps was the hardest part.
The Rapha design and production team is very professional. They know what they want when they see it. I had a good amount of freedom and was able to source all the textiles myself to which they would match, and I also made the first sample of the wax cap by hand. They didn't restrict me in the slightest which was wonderful. It meant I could make suggestions for brass badges and mesh eyelets and trust them to source the perfect ones.
The Paisley print took a little longer than the caps. It began as a loose paisley and developed into something very decorative. I'd like to say a big thanks to Graeme (Raeburn) for pushing me with that. So when my bit was over, the production team got stuck in and I believe there were a few interesting samples.
It has to be absolutely perfect with Rapha! Materials were found to keep these caps as modern as possible. A great result. I think we've created a few timeless classics.

I'm not at all fond of these - wouldn't a real feather been better than an embroided one - it ( the feather) looks like something that might have been on Ronnie Corbet's V neck for a country weekend. 'Spose you might argue a real feather might get trashed in the rain. I think a Fedora with a ostrich feather in it would really cut a dash on Grays Inn Road.

You're right about a Fedora, but it depends which end of Grays Inn road you mean. Rapha are catering for cyclists, not pimps… However, John, your comments are always welcome and feedback is important to us.
These caps aren't to everyone's taste because they're pushing boundaries, I think. I'm a huge fan of the waxed-cotton cap, but the polka dot style is not really my cup of Earl Grey.

The official Sebastian Junger community
Sebastian wrote an article on another friend who died in Peshawar, Pakistan (he was a reporter I believe who was working for CNN during that time) a while ago for Vanity Fair. I am trying to find that article so if anyone remembers the name of the reporter it would be greatly appreciated. He died from an heroin overdose
Carlos Mavroleon
Circle of 13
The article is from Vanity Fair, 1999, entitled "Addicted to Danger". But I wasn't able to readily find a link anywhere.
YES, that's the one. Any idea how I can email Sebastian and ask for a copy from him since VF does not have it in their archives
Many thanks
Hi Farimah,
Sebastian has larger things on his mind right now, so I don't think it would be a good time to make a request.
However, lots of people are selling this issue on ebay: Vanity Fair, February 1999 ebay
It is my opinion that you should seek it out and purchase a copy, rather than asking Sebastian to send you a free one.
Thank you, I will be more than happy to pay. Do you know which month in 1999 since e-bay just shows the covers but not the content of article

BY LIZA STROUT - History buffs at the Johann Fust Community Library on Wednesday, Feb. 29 got to hear the stories of the Futch and Lowe families at the Leap Day edition of History Bytes.
Capt. Freddy Futch, an island native and descendant of both the Futch and Lowe families, recounted that his great-grandfather Futch was on the ship that delivered the timbers for the lighthouse at the south end of the island in 1890. His family had been in the Charlotte Harbor area for decades before, though.

Field Hockey: Dangerous play and ball/body contact myths
There are a number assertions for which no support in Rule or Rule Guidance is to be found but which are firmly held to be true by many participants. By umpires (because of coaching and observed 'practice') and by players (because of the way umpires apply the Rules). The latter is called 'player expectation' by umpires and is used as a justification for continuing to interpret and apply the Rule in the way they do. This process gives rise to 'urban myths'. I am going to explore here those myths connected to the various Rules which are brought to bear when one player plays the ball at or into another, or a player 'plays' the ball with their body, intentionally or otherwise.
The myths
The assertions made in these 'myths' are generally corruption, misinterpretation or even inversion of Rules or the Rules Guidance. Occasionally they are pure invention, the creation of a myth based on the acceptance of a previous evolved myth called 'practice'.
"All ball/body contacts should be penalised" (are offences).
A contradiction of the Rule Guidance
It is not always an offence if the ball hits the foot, hand or body of a field player. The player only commits an offence if they voluntarily use their hand, foot or body to play the ball or if they position themselves with the intention of stopping the ball in this way.
"Defenders have an obligation to defend their feet" (and should be penalised if they fail to do so even when contact is forced by an opponent).
Here an assumption is made that any defender positioned to intercept the ball or positioning to tackle, who is hit with the ball, intended to be so hit (without the intent there would be no offence). There are no grounds for such a sweeping assumption, each incident must be judged separately on clear evidence of intent or willingness to be hit with the ball.
The speed with which the offence of forcing such contact (specifically an offence until 1st January 2011) has been turned into an offence by the player the ball is forced into, is astonishing. Such forcing is now supposed to be dealt with by "other Rules"so it should still be considered an offence – the problem is that the "other Rules" have not been identified by the Rules Committee, but dangerous play and intimidation are both possibilities where the forcing is powerfully done.
"All ball/body contacts are of benefit or advantage to the player making the contact and disadvantage opponents".
Not only is this untrue it is irrelevant. Gaining benefit from a ball/body contact is not an offence and nor does it create an offence. The gaining of a benefit is mentioned in the Rules in relation to the playing of advantage when an offence has been committed. It is no longer used to create an offence from a breach of Rule (such as stopping the ball with the body) that was not an offence (because it was not intentional).
Advantage :
it is not necessary for every offence to be penalised when no benefit is gained by the offender ; unnecessary interruptions to the flow of the match cause undue delay and irritation".
Note this advice to umpires is written in relation to offences, not unintentional breaches of Rule.
The only other reference to gaining benefit is in relation to time-wasting.
In the absence of an offence, like deliberate time-wasting, disadvantaging opponents is part of the game, being competitive – tackling, scoring goals etc. etc.
"Defenders who are positioned behind their sticks intend to play the ball with their body if they miss it with the stick.
Without clear evidence of intent to use the body to play the ball i.e. of an offence, there is no reason a player should not be directly behind the stick when stopping the ball . Positioning the body behind the stick is a standard playing technique when it is not known to which side of the body the ball might be played and is not of itself evidence of intent to play the ball with the body – the assumption must be that if the player misses the ball with the stick when attempting to play it with the stick, such a miss is unintentional, and in such circumstances body position is not relevant (assuming the player is on her/his feet rather than lying or sitting or kneeling on the ground)
"A defender who is positioned on/in front of the goal-line when hit with the ball must be penalised with a penalty stroke"
I have heard this one trotted out at Level One umpire induction courses on several occasions but it can be true only when there has been no prior dangerous play i.e. the shot is not dangerous and the player hit has clearly and intentionally played the ball with the body rather than the stick.
Certainty that there has been a deliberate offence is required before a penalty stroke may be awarded. The withdrawal of the 'gains benefit' clause has, unfortunately, removed the only ground on which the accidental prevention of a goal with the body could have been penalised.
"A defender positioned on the goal-line causes danger".
It is an illogical inversion of fact to suggest that the positioning of the defender is the cause of dangerous play. Such positioning can cause the play of the player propelling the ball to be dangerous but does not cause the play that is dangerous. If the ball is not propelled at (the position of) another player there can be no dangerously played ball. The distinction may seem subtle even though it isn't, and language can used to bamboozle those not paying attention, but one might just as well say that the ground causes rain to make it wet, as suggest that defensive positioning prior to the ball being propelled causes dangerous play or is dangerous play.
What is true is that any player who raises the ball at another player at a velocity that could cause injury to that player has endangered that player i.e. has played the ball in a way that is dangerous to others.
"A defender who positions on the goal-line accepts any risk of so positioning" ( Is "asking for it").
FIH statement from the Preface to the Rules of Hockey.
Responsibility and Liability
Participants in hockey must be aware of the Rules of Hockey and of other information in this publication.
They are expected to perform according to the Rules.
Emphasis is placed on safety. Everyone involved in the game must act with consideration for the safety of others.
All players accept the risk of accidental injury but do not, and cannot be expected to, accept risks associated with any action by another participant that is a breach of the Rules.
For example Rule 13.3.1 (concerning second and subsequent shots at goal during a penalty corner – which is the same criteria as in open play) It is permitted to raise the ball to any height (while shooting at the goal) but this must not be dangerous.
Defenders do not accept the risk (and nor should they be asked or expected to) that a ball will be intentionally propelled at their position (at them) in a dangerous or reckless way. They do accept the risk of, for example, accidental deflections, rebounds and miss-hits. It is disingenuous for a shooter to claim s/he was shooting at the goal and not at the player who was, prior to the shot, positioned in front of the goal on the line of the shot or moving towards the ball on that line. The responsibility to play without endangering another player applies, as does the liability for doing so.
"An 'on target' shot at the goal cannot be dangerous play."
This myth is (a very dangerous) invention. It seems to be based on (the unfortunate) fact that there is now no means of penalizing a shooter for reckless or dangerous play when a first shot at the goal at a penalty corner is propelled at an opponent at below knee height. Despite there being no height limit mentioned in Conduct of Play Rules, we have an exception to the possibility of 'dangerously played ball' just for the penalty corner shot – any defender struck with a shot which is below knee height must be, – penalised with another penalty corner, this is mandatory (so much for the subjective judgement of umpires).
I consider this an aberration because a defender will be penalised even if obviously trying to play the ball with her/his stick, and irrespective of any recklessness or intimidation on the part of the shooter, this is contrary to other Rule.
"Defenders have time to move out of the way of a ball that is propelled (raised) at them from more than 5m, so such a ball cannot be dangerous play."
An invention using inverted logic. 5m is the minimum distance within which a ball raised at an opponent above knee height will be considered dangerous, not a maximum distance, beyond which dangerous play is impossible. A ball propelled at another player could be considered dangerous play at any distance on the field of play, there is no upper limit.
"Defenders voluntarily play the ball with the body if they had time to move out of the way of a shot, don't do so and are hit with the ball."
There has to be clear intent to play the ball with the body. Voluntarily means willingly. A player is not willingly hit with the ball if s/he is trying to play it with the stick or is unsighted and unaware of the path of the ball or if attempting, but not succeeding, to take evasive action. To suggest that a player who could have moved out of the path of the ball (was physically able to do so) and therefore should have done so, has committed an offence if s/he doesn't do so, is simply assuming intent whenever a player is hit with the ball. To suggest that there is a significant difference between intentionally and voluntarily in this context is 'playing with semantics' in an effort to make words mean what they are wanted to mean.
Another type of willingness to be hit with the ball might arise if a benefit was to be gained by being so hit but an umpire would have to be certain of the intent before penalising, there must be evidence not just an assumption.
'Playing' with semantics and 'bending over back-wards' to penalise a player hit with the ball just encourages reckless and dangerous play from any player propelling the ball towards/through opponents and achieves the opposite of the purpose of the Rule. Umpires should not be assisting either party to circumvent Rule or the intent of the Rule – even if that might make the game more interesting or spectacular; it is not the job of an umpire to provide entertainment.
"Whether or not a ball propelled at a player is a dangerously played ball depends on the level of play of the players, that is on the ability or skill of the players concerned."
This seems plausible until one considers what it is that makes any ball dangerous to any player (all players having approximately the same reactions times and all being of 'flesh and bone'). It is the potential of the propelled ball to injure if the player is hit with it. That potential to injure and the degree of possible injury depend on the velocity of the ball and the height at which it is propelled. A player who is able to play a high ball that has been propelled at her/him has been as much endangered by that ball as a player who cannot. It is endangerment not actual injury that makes a ball dangerous.
A ball that forces self-defence (rather than the taking of evasive action) to avoid injury, would be a better description of a dangerously played ball. The distance from the defending player the ball is propelled from is relevant only inasmuch as beyond a certain distanced, depending on ball velocity, it will be possible for the player to react to the ball (if s/he is aware of its path).
What goes to the root of the problem of the dealing with the 'dangerously played ball', is that it is a subjective judgement by the umpire. Objective criteria such as height and distance are used in only a very limited way, velocity is not mentioned at all. The plain fact is that a ball that is raised at high velocity at any player is potentially dangerous to that player, it forces her/him to respond to avoid injury, irrespective of his ability or skill to avoid or cope with the danger presented.
"An out-running defender at a penalty corner who runs towards the ball is a "suicide runner", because s/he is"running down the barrel", and should be penalised for dangerous play."
Unless such a defending player clearly intends to use the body and not the stick to play the ball there is no offence. Terms such as 'suicide runner' should never have been used in this context. The first shot at goal during a penalty corner does not have to be raised or propelled from a set position, the scenario is presented is false. It is as if an out-runner were running into the path of a projectile, compulsorily fired, on a short fuse, from a static gun position – the truth is the shooter has choices and should not choose to endanger an opponent who is closing on the ball.
"A defender who closes on the ball when it is in the possession of an attacker who is taking a shot at the goal (or is about to) is guilty of dangerous play."
Unless such a defending player is clearly intends to use the body and not the stick to play the ball, s/he has not committed an offence. A defender is entitled to defend and that includes closing on the ball and attempting to block the shot with the stick or tackle for the ball.
The relevant Rules.
9.8 Players must not play the ball dangerously or in a way which leads to dangerous play.
A ball is considered dangerous when it causes legitimate evasive action by players.
9.9 Players must not intentionally raise the ball from a hit except for a shot at goal.
Players are permitted to raise the ball with a flick or scoop provided it is not dangerous. A flick or scoop towards an opponent within 5 metres is considered dangerous.
If an opponent is clearly running into the shot or into the attacker without attempting to play the ball with their stick, they should be penalised for dangerous play.
9.11 Field players must not stop, kick, propel, pick up, throw or carry the ball with any part of their body.
It is not always an offence if the ball hits the foot, hand or body of a field player. The player only commits an offence if they voluntarily use their hand, foot or body to play the ball or if they position themselves with the intention of stopping the ball in this way.
13.3. l. For second and subsequent hits at the goal and for flicks, deflections and scoops, it is permitted to raise the ball to any height but this must not be dangerous.
A defender who is clearly running into the shot or into the taker without attempting to play the ball with their stick must be penalised for dangerous play.
Otherwise,(that is if the defender is not attempting to play at the ball with their stick) if a defender is within five metres of the first shot at goal during the taking of a penalty corner and is struck by the ball below the knee, another penalty corner must be awarded or is struck on or above the knee in a normal stance, the shot is judged to be dangerous and a free hit must be awarded to the defending team.
The definition of a dangerously played ball is that it is "a ball that causes legitimate evasive action". That statement alone should have been sufficient to prevent the creation of several myths, but it tells us only (and only in part) what a dangerously played ball is, not what other actions could constitute dangerous play, or even what 'legitimate' means (does it mean legal or genuine?) or what could possibly make any evasive action taken to avoid injury not legitimate.
These omissions have provided scope for 'interpretation' that have led to to various conclusions and this has been taken full advantage of. Why anyone would want to take such advantage to invert a previously accepted meaning of 'dangerously played' and even to remove the concept of the dangerously played ball from the game in certain circumstances, generally when what might be considered dangerous play is a shot at the goal, is outside the scope of this article.
The existence of the term 'legitimate evasive action' lends credence to the argument that evasive action can be legitimate in both meanings of the word i.e. necessary (or genuine) and also legal (or within the Rules).
Evasive action is not necessary, or indeed even a possibility, if a defending player is not positioned in the path of a ball that has been propelled by another player, such evasive action defines and is caused and is legitimized, by a dangerously played ball.
Being positioned in the defended goal or anywhere else (except the opponents' goal) must be therefore be legal i.e. legitimate play, because otherwise no evasive action could ever be be legitimate and the term would not be used. Whether or not evasive action is legitimate i.e. necessary or genuine is a matter of umpire judgement, but it is also a player judgement, depending entirely on circumstances a player finds herself/ himself in. When the ball is raised high at a player at high velocity (and we here talking of a ball propelled at anything from 60 -100 mph), from within 14m, is difficult to see how an umpire could declare evasive action as unnecessary by any player at any level. ('High', in terms of height, could usefully be defined as an objective criteria).
It is not illegal for a defender to defend the goal either by staying in the goal on the goal-line or in front of the goal-line, nor is illegal for a defender to close down on an attacker about to shoot to try to intercept the ball with the stick or tackle for the ball with the stick, the goal could not be defended if a defender was not allowed to be in or to defend in the area between a shooter and the goal.
Legitimate evasive action is not in fact a sufficient description of a dangerously played ball when the ball is propelled at another player in a way that could endanger them, because evasive action is not always successful and because defenders may also be endangered when they have not taken or even attempted to take evasive action, either because they were physically unable to do so (lack of time to react) or because they were unaware that evasive action might be necessary. Either could be the case if a defending player was unsighted at the time the ball was propelled in their direction. It is also more than possible (very likely) that an umpire would not know if a defending player was unsighted when the ball was propelled in their direction.
I know it 'sucks' but the fact that it is against the Rules to propel the ball at another player in a way that endangers them, makes it much more difficult to score a goal than it would otherwise be. And playing the ball at or into the legs or feet of an opponent is not a legitimate way to 'win' a free or a penalty corner – in fact penalties against opponents are not (or should not be) 'won' ('manufactured') intentionally at all – passing and dribbling skills have to be developed and then used in a legitimate way.

Trowbridge firefighters take strike action
12:49pm Wednesday 25th September 2013 in Latest News By Adam Care
16 firefighters took to the picket line in Trowbridge today, as stations across the county were closed in a national strike.
The six on-duty crew members at the Hilperton Road station walked out from midday to 4pm to protest over pension arrangements, and were joined by off-duty colleagues from other stations and some senior officers.
Part-time retained firefighters in Melksham and Warminster were also on strike, forcing stations in both towns to close, but Westbury, Bradford on Avon and Corsham stations remained open.
Tony Littler, brigade chair of the Wiltshire branch of the Fire Brigades Union joined the crews on the picket outside the station.
He said: "It's gone quite well. There is some good support, a lot of horns going and people waving, and an hour in I think we had just the one negative comment."
The strike was called by the national union after negotiations broke down with fire minister Brandon Lewis over plans to increase the age firefighters receive their pension, from 55 to 60, and Mr Littler refused to rule out further action in Wiltshire.
He said: "No firefighter wants to go on strike, and we're doing this very reluctantly.
"If Brandon Lewis is willing to go back into negotiations we will talk with him, but if not we will have to make a decision, and I am pretty sure we will decide to take further action."
Cover was provided during the strike by non-union members in the remaining stations, with back-up appliances on stand-by in Melksham and Warminster.
