In his first role for di Bonaventura, as the apprentice to a chainsmoking Keanu Reeves in "Constantine," Shia LaBeouf impressed the producer enough for him to topline all three "Transformers" pics. LaBeouf will play troubled law student Kyle McAvoy in di Bonaventura's screen adaptation of John Grisham's "The Associate." * * * Mark Wahlberg made his debut in a di Bonaventura pic with a starring role in 2005's "Four Brothers." Wahlberg went on to appear in di Bonaventura's "Shooters" two years later, as well as the upcoming "Four Brothers" sequel, "Five Brothers," slated for next year. * * * Longtime amigo Akiva Goldsman worked with di Bonaventura in his post-WB career on 2005's "Constantine." * * * David Elliot and Paul Lovett worked on "Four Brothers," "Five Brothers" and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" while Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman teamed up for the first two "Transformers" films. * * * Fresh off "Red," which is being released this week, Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber are the writers behind upcoming "Man on a Ledge." * * * After smashing the B.O. with the first "Transformers" pic, it was no surprise when di Bonaventura paired with Michael Bay on the next two films in the franchise. * * * Antoine Fuqua, who first teamed up with di Bonaventura on "Shooter" in 2007, signed up to direct "Consent to Kill" this year. The lenser also added the role of producer for long-awaited drama "SIS." * * * Among producers in di Bonaventura's circle are Bob and Harvey Weinstein (on "1408" and "Derailed"), while Ed Solomon scripted and produced with him on 2009's "Imagine That." * * * Di Bonaventura's teamed up with multiple line producers for several films. Top picks include Ric Kidney ("Shooter, "Four Brothers," "Salt," "Moscow"), Jake Myers ("1408," "Red," "Man on a Ledge"), David Womark ("Stardust," "G.I. Joe") and Ian Bryce (all three "Transformers"). * * * Three casting directors have found themselves recurring, so to speak, on di Bonaventura pics. Avy Kaufman ("Salt," "Derailed"), Deborah Aquila ("Red," "Man on a Ledge") and Ronna Kress ("G.I. Joe," "Moscow") have all doubled up for the producer. * * * Di Bonaventura has also admired the eye of Andrew Laws and Scott Chambliss, the production designers behind "1408" and "Salt," respectively.

Question & Answers
Controling the horse while taking pictures?
I've noticed that if you click the screen while trying to take pictures, the horse will walk, stop, buck and rear. the problem is I haven't quite figured out how to make it do these things, I just click randomly and hope that it does something XD aha! does anyone have this figured out?
Answer from: ILOVEHORSES<3
I haven't, what would happen if the person is riding the horse and you tap the screen?
Answer from: Applejack
I think it's because when you click the horse, it's either whipping it in front or at back which makes it buck and rear
Answer from: Horses4ever
I low this game. But I'm not sure how to control the horse, I to just click randomly! Lol!!! :p
Answer from: Hippy hoop
In camera mode, If you tap on the horse it will either buck or rear. This mostly only happens when the horse stops and stands still.
Answer from: Love the piggys
To get your horse to rear you must click camera mode when your horse is standing still, then take a photo of it still, then it will rear.To get it to jump, you must not use the camera mode, you must do a screen shot. Let your horse gallop around, then it will jump by itself. I am on level 91 and I have never seen or heard of the fact that they can buck.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) The number of businesses without paid employees in the U.S. reached 22.7 million, which marks the third straight annual increase, according to statistics released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
"It indicates a fall in quality full-time jobs," said Margie Baldock, author of the book The Mother Lode Manifesto (Star Fire Books 2013). "More new job opportunities are part-time or lowly paid jobs. As a result, professionals are being forced to become self-reliant financially just to make ends meet."
Non-employer businesses are those with no paid employees and annual business receipts of at least $1,000 that are subject to federal income taxes.
Also See: Starting Small Is the Secret to Smart Entrepreneurship
"It's never been easier to start a business," said Paul Schwada, director with Locomotive Solutions. "The tools that are now in place eliminate many barriers to entry and when a business stays non-employee it avoids added hassles."
Those hassles include taxes being levied on businesses who do employ full time workers.
Tools that make it easier to operate a staff-less business include the internet, social media and accounting software.
"Often the first step in becoming financially self-reliant is becoming a one-person small business and then growing from that base," Baldock said.
While California still has the largest number of non-employer businesses at 2.9 million, Florida had the largest increase in with 57,978 added.
"If California has a greater number of non employer businesses, it may be because the state has more oppressive legislation for business owners to follow when it comes to employment," said Baldock.

Japan's first network of leading scientists, policy makers and patients interested in gaining greater understanding, treating and changing attitudes towards mood disorders has been set-up following a visit by University experts.
Modelled on the successful Bipolar Disorder Research Network (BDRN) led by Professor Nick Craddock, School of Medicine – the network will help bring together researchers investigating the underlying causes of mood disorders.
Professor Craddock said, "Much of the world's attention has focused – quite rightly - on the recent Tsunami in Japan and the devastating impact this has had on their country.
"The implications of this tragic event brings into focus the need for extra support for those people in the country who suffer or may suffer with mood disorders in the future.
"Japan already has a series of significant challenges – most notably, the high number of suicides amongst the male population. By establishing a network of experts – from academia, government and sufferers themselves this will add an additional focus and impetus to tackling these problems."
The setting-up of the group followed a visit by Cardiff experts to Japan, organised by the British Embassy. The trip saw Cardiff University's Professor Craddock, Professsor Michael O'Donovan and Dr Ian Jones, School of Medicine, visit Tokyo to take part in the Japan Mood Disorder Workshop.
The Workshops brought together experts in mood disorders including scientists, media and senior government advisers. The three delivered lectures and talks on their research into mood disorders and the importance of creating a network to help effect change.
Professor Craddock added: "It's satisfying to know that the work we've done here at Cardiff is helping to influence decision makers in Japan.
"Our recent visit was an ideal opportunity to share our knowledge and experience, which we hope will help influence decisions over the way mood disorders are seen and treated in future."

Despite Oscar notice, black actors still hit limits in film
There are no sure things when it comes to the Academy Awards, but front-runners always emerge.
This year Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, nominated for best actress and best supporting actress for their roles in The Help, could well win their categories when Oscars are handed out on Sunday.
Both actresses are black.
Thus it may seem that this is another key moment for actors of color, and in some ways it is. If Davis and Spencer were to walk away with fully half of the Oscars given out for acting in a single year, it would be a notable achievement, one worth praising. And with their nominations following wins by Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker, Jennifer Hudson, Morgan Freeman and Mo'Nique in the 10 years since Denzel Washington and Halle Berry took home best-acting trophies, it might seem as if the playing field at last has been leveled for people of color in Hollywood.
But although their portrayals are powerful and, especially in the case of Davis, richly nuanced, it's also true that they're playing maids — servants of white employers who mistreat them with a casual racism that's galling. And their salvation, such as it is, comes at the hands of a white author who helps them tell their stories. Davis and Spencer may be heroic in their portrayals, but it is the white character who is set up to be the actual hero.
"While we must applaud the outstanding performances by Ms. Davis and Ms. Spencer, we cannot ignore the fact that once again African Americans are being recognized in Hollywood for playing limited and/or demeaning roles in Hollywood," says James Braxton Peterson, the director of Africana studies at Lehigh University, in Bethlehem, Penn.
David Oyelowo, who plays Joe "Lightning" Little in Red Tails, agrees - to a point.
"Does it stick in my throat that it would seem time after time African Americans are being acknowledged or are winning for roles that are not what you would want to celebrate about the African American story? Absolutely," he says.
But in this case, he adds, "Those were great roles. The reason they're being nominated is not for token reasons. They gave great performances, and they would have given great performances if they were playing a different kind of character, empowered characters."
A narrow range
Black actors have won 13 Academy Awards over the years, in fact, by 12 people (Washington has won two). But that's out of a possible 332 given out since 1929, a paltry 4 percent.
Not all of the roles were demeaning, not all of the characters subservient, and even with those that would seem to give some critics pause, the acting clearly elevated the role. Washington won best actor for playing a crooked cop in Training Day; Berry for playing the troubled, victimized wife of a death-row convict in Monster's Ball; both portrayals that in 2002 were as controversial as they were fascinating. Consider also Whitaker's evil Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland and Mo'Nique's monstrous mother in Precious.
But people of color too often find only narrow aspects of their lives and history represented in mainstream film, if represented at all. Awards season merely reinforces this.
In 1940, in the first-ever win for an African American, Hattie McDaniel won best supporting actress for playing a sassy maid in Gone with the Wind— the type of character from which Spencer's sassy maid in The Help is a clear descendant.
"This, unfortunately, underscores the state of Hollywood for African-Americans," Peterson says. "While some progress has been made, Hollywood has a long way to go in order to present the full range of women of color on the big screen and for African-Americans in general.
"In order to get better, we have to move away from the limited depictions of black life (sometimes produced by black executives) and professionally nurture more women, African Americans and other people of color as writers, producers, and executives. Only then will Hollywood realize its fullest potential to provide substantive entertainment for the 21st century world."
Candice Frederick, a blogger and critic and host of "Cinema in Noir," says she believes Hollywood and the Oscars turn their backs "on multidimensional characters who are domestic workers … like those in Roots, Mama Flora's Family and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Many of those stories stay on the small screen, and can rarely be embraced on the big screen. The ones that make it to the big screen are oftentimes caricatures, watered down or only triggered (though loosely) by the main character, a non-minority. …
"I think we are getting more roles that are highlighted in mainstream media (as evidenced by the success of Tyler Perry films), but I think Hollywood seems fixated on a certain type of African American film, one that is more one-dimensional, and about one type of character or facet of black culture."
Equality essential
Perry is a lightning rod. He makes movies with predominately black casts that are typically savaged by critics, black and white alike, for playing up the worst kinds of stereotypes while demeaning women characters — Madea, the popular character he plays himself, sometimes manages both things. Yet his movies do enormously well at the box office. Spike Lee, without a doubt the black filmmaker held in the highest regard by white critics and audiences, has blasted Perry's work as "coonery and buffoonery"; for his part, Perry has retorted that "Spike needs to shut the hell up."
But Perry, for all the critical slings and arrows, has built an empire based largely on the variety of images of black life he presents. While Hollywood, like any large institution, makes the occasional goodwill gesture toward inclusion, movies are, in the end, about the bottom line. Perry's projects prove that there is an audience out there; Lee's criticisms, and that of others, prove that success comes at a price, at least at this point.
So what could make things better? How best to create roles for people of color that more accurately portray the whole of their lives, and not just whatever bits and pieces filmmakers believe will be palatable to a mainstream — that is, a largely white — audience?
"This is a difficult question to answer," Peterson says. "Consider the challenges that George Lucas — George Lucas! — had in trying to fund Red Tails. And this is not an issue of consumer ticket sales. Black folks disproportionately spend their disposable income at the movies. Like so many of our institutions, Hollywood is dominated by white males. In these kinds of environments we need radical efforts to bring gender and racial equality to the Hollywood production structure."
"I think it's glaringly obvious that we need more African American stories to be told, so that every time one is … it doesn't become this poster boy - and whipping boy, simultaneously - for everyone," says Oyelowo. "Hollywood has got to acknowledge, and has got to change, this tendency that it wants to only tell black stories through a white prism."
Job one is to change the perception that, with Davis and Spencer walking the Oscar red carpet this year, things are fine.
"Black actors remain underrepresented in front and behind the camera," says Charles Gallagher, chairman of the sociology department at La Salle University in Philadelphia. "However, that is not how most of white America sees it. Flip through your stations and you will see advertisements where middle- and upper-middle-class blacks play, work and (have) leisure with whites of the same socio-economic standing. The image that equality in Hollywood or schools or the White House has been achieved is now the central tenet of how most whites now see U.S. race relations.
"This is why a majority of whites now believe that blacks have the same educational and social opportunities as whites, when every quality-of-life measure and even the simplest drive around a city and suburb tell the story of racial inequality."
Course correction
Correcting black underrepresentation in Hollywood requires starting early, according to Louis Giannetti, professor emeritus of film at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, and the author of Understanding Movies.
"I think schools, public and private, could do a better job of showing black kids that they have stories to tell," Giannetti says. "And with today's cheaper technology, they can get digital video cameras and begin telling their stories — the way little Stevie Spielberg did when he was a young kid in Arizona."
That's just the beginning.
"Foundational funds need to be raised and set aside for women and people of color to attend film school and film industry school; Spike Lee should be granted 'green-light' ability for the remainder of his career," Peterson says.
"Documentary film makers, especially folk like Byron Hurt, Nzingha Stewart and Tanji Gilliam, should be supported by equality-based Hollywood initiatives" as documentary film is one of the most efficient ways to offset the overabundance of stereotypical imagery in Hollywood films, he says.
Oscar night wins by Spencer and Davis obviously would be another step in the right direction, but the journey is longer than many people realize. As Oyelowo puts it, "We have to have hope."

- Publisher: EA Games
- Release Date: Mar 21, 2005
- Summary: In TimeSplitters Future Perfect, victory is in the hands of the player's past, present, and future self in a battle that stretches throughout time where humanity is on the brink of destruction from the malevolent TimeSplitters. Cortez--the tough-as-nails hero from previous installments--finds himself in a frantic race against time in a desperate bid to trace the origin of the TimeSplitters and save mankind. This third installment of the best-selling franchise will feature hundreds of hours of gameplay and an improved Story mode that ties all the missions together, immersing gamers in an epic adventure between the years of 1914 and 2401. Innovative "meet yourself" time travel gameplay lets players be their own ally by teaming up with past and future versions of themselves. The game also will allow two players to fight through the Story in Co-op mode, and features extensive Challenge and Arcade modes, and a Multiplayer mode that allows gamers to battle in 16-player death match online on the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system. In addition, gamers will experience an improved Map Maker feature allowing them to easily create and play their own maps and share them online. TimeSplitters Future Perfect promises to be one of the deepest arcade shooters on the console with hundreds of unlockables, more realistic environments, spectacular special effects, high quality animated cut scenes, an improved physics engine, smarter enemy AI, and much more.

So say what you will about TimeSplitters being too arcadey or too cartoony or not serious enough—I'll just be over here having a hell of a time. Last I checked, that's what games were for.
An intensive 3D shooter with a twist or two. The plot does not make much sense, but it is entertaining. [Mar. 05]
Shooter with enough guns to satisfy the most trigger-happy soul. [Jan 2007, p.106]
Free Radical still offers up a fantastic experience that will make you laugh, cry, laugh some more, and feel like a kooky bad ass from the future.
As forgettable as the story mode is, this is a game that should be judged by the pleasure it can bring to a room full of gamers eager for furious arena combat and a splendid variety of team games. And judged by those criteria, it has few peers. [Apr 2005, p.94]
The main, single player story mode may be the biggest disappointment in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect but it makes a decent training mode for the variety of other fun offline and online modes.
Lacks some of the technological prowess of other shooters, but its personality and extras keep its head above water.

GregA.Apr 5, 2005This game is the best FPS I have ever played. Great graphics, awesome controls, and this time each level in the story mode has a place, unlike the TS2, where you could've taken out any levels save the first and last and no one would notice. The only thing I have trouble with is the challenges, some of them seem a bit ridiculous, like some of the hard mode levels in TS2. Other than that, this game is spectacular and I don't think anyone who likes FPSs should turn this down. I can't wait to take it online.… Expand
AlexD.Jun 18, 2005This is one of the best first person shooters i have ever played on the PS2! It is mostly a run and gun like serious sam for the pc but has a great Co-Op system which makes it even more incredible! The best part is the muitiplayer. Sure the arcade is fun, but only to an extent. There is nothing like a 4 player shooting experience with over 150 characters and TONS of different guns and different muti player options such as deathmatch and vampire. This is a must own for First Person Shooter fans and it will be VERY fun with your friends!… Expand
Nov 21, 2010This game is fighting againts TimeSplitters 2 from the best video game ever made title. Sure this game has flaws like bad AI, it's easy and maps doesn't have any kinds of details. But when you start playing the game, you will forgive any flaws and you will have great time. Story mode is fun to play and you will return to play it gladly. Multiplayer is great, mapmaker is better than ever (Though you can play only with maximum of 8 players, because of a bug). If you find this game on any store, buy it!… Expand
Sep 20, 2013I think that this is the best FPS ever made. I love everything about this game; The story, the multiplayer, the challenges, the league matches, the characters, the weapons, the maps, the power ups, the settings. It's perfect. If you have a Ps2, Xbox or Gamecube, get this game NOW! I mean it! Go on Ebay right now and get yourself a copy, don't waste another second being on Metacritic, when you don't own this game! DO IT!!!… Expand
NickTDec 27, 2008This game is one of the best games I've ever played. It's a great FPS that has endless possibilities. The amount of scenario play you can put into this game is astounding. You want open warfare? Pit yourself against a bunch of marines in an arcade mach with a couple of soldiers on your side as well. You want to battle zombies? Make a level with AI zombies and give yourself a shotgun. The possibilities are nearly endless. IN other words, Go. Go now and buy this game. It's worth the 10 bucks or so you'll need to pay. It's so, so worth it.… Expand
MarkJ.Mar 30, 2005Looks nice. but it breaks some of the good stuff from TS1 and TS2. continuous checkpoints mean that you can't get back very far, which seems bad if you are nearly dead at checkpoint. but since the game is so much more shallow than previous games, actually it doesnt matter. lots of locked door and other contrived things keep the game strictly on rails.(is this a memory limitation on the PS2?) of course, the game engine rocks, so the multiplayer deathmatch etc are great. shame about the game, though. feels more like an arcade game.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday villa in Tivat - Eva's House
2 Bedroom, Two Bathroom Villa With Private Pool And Sun Terrace
The beautiful and tranquil Lustica peninsula is the setting for this hillside villa that accommodates four people and offers easy access to some of Montenegro's very best beaches. You'll no doubt want to see as much of the surrounding coastline as possible during your stay at Eva's House, although we especially recommend the nearby beaches at Zanjice, Miriste, Arza and Dobrec.
Eva's House is special because despite being in a popular location, the pool is completely private from the neighbours.
Lustica is one of the most unspoilt parts of Montenegro and this makes it one of the country's most relaxing villa holiday destinations. It's a place to stroll along the seafront, take gentle hikes in the hills and try succulent seafood and locally made rakija at homely restaurants in fishing villages like Krasici, which is just a short walk from Eva's House. In Krasici you'll find a handful of shops as well as waterfront restaurants, although both Kotor and Tivat are only 15 minutes drive if you decide to venture a little further afield. On the way, you'll pass small Lustica farmsteads set amid olive groves and orchards that produce their own cheese, prosciutto, wine and olive oil.
From Krasici, a narrow country lane leads uphill to the comfortable Eva's House. Inside, there's an open plan living and dining room with a modern kitchen, terracotta tiled floors, sofa and a flat screen TV. This room leads directly out onto a spacious sun terrace, where you'll likely want to spend as much time as possible sunbathing and then cooling off in the private outdoor swimming pool. There's also a covered terrace, accessed via the villa's two bedrooms, and this is another great spot from which to take in the fabulous surrounding sea views.
About Alex
I moved to Montenegro with my family when I was a small child as my father is Bosnian. I spend the summer months as a Travel Representative and get to travel all around the coast on a weekly basis to the different properties and get to meet our visitors. My favourite properties are the ones with great pool areas and comfortable sun beds, perfect for topping up your tan!
Alex purchased this villa in 2012
Why Alex chose Tivat
It has a good pool and a good location with great views and a balcony.
What makes this villa unique
It has a very private pool and sun-deck area and is perfect for a family.

Return to story
THE THOROUGH crime reporting of Keith Epps--I envision him, pen and pad in hand, right behind the G-men as they kick in the door of Mad Dog Coll's hideout--suggests a pronounced tendency of young males in this area toward drunken fisticuffs. In the lingo of the hills, they are "bad to fight."
Few moons pass without headlines announcing a fracas at some joint in Central Park, downtown Fredericksburg, or those parts of Stafford where a necktie is a thing your lawyer wears. One of the out-of-town proprietors of F.W. Sullivan's, the subject of recent police attention, told me in exasperation, "We never have this kind of thing in Richmond."
As a former resident of the Holy City, I can confirm the owner's declaration. People of all ages drink there without bodies being thrown through plate-glass windows, bouncers dancing on the heads of downed drunks, or patrons engaging in mass mêlees reminiscent of Day 13 at the Alamo.
When I lived in the Fan, I often walked to Joe's Inn for dinner or drinks. I never saw a punch thrown or heard a voice raised in anger. Between the long mahogany bar and the wall shelves of bottled booze in gay circus colors, no barkeeper had to call down an unruly customer.
So what's wrong with us?
I place the local tendency of single males to cap nights out with a busted head and a visit to the cooler under my Unifying Theory of Too Big Too Fast. This describes the growth rate of Greater Fredericksburg during the last few decades, when swarms of Northern Virginians and other aliens (ich bin ein come-here), drawn by cheap digs, descended on a small city and its adjacent rural counties and upended traditional living habits.
Outsiders move to Richmond, too, of course, but at a pace at which they can be assimilated. Around here, immigration was diluvial. Hordes of newcomers put down stakes far from their extended families and with no community ties. So we became a collection of strangers with few shared interests, thrown together almost by chance. Think of our region as a vast military base, without the discipline.
The dustups at local watering holes illustrate the absence of restraint that comes with a weak sense of community. When an indigenous culture is overwhelmed by a motley flood of humanity, all that survives by default is the popular culture--the one, laden with violence, rudeness, and imbecility, that comes to us via our TVs, iPods, and other drek dispensers.
Thus we live in a place that lacks broad refinement and an instinctual preference for peaceableness. It is like what Wellington said while looking over his troops before Waterloo: "I don't know if they scare Napoleon, but by God they scare me."
This is not to say that all my experiences in clubs, dives, and joints elsewhere have been totally irenic. Two stories.
(1) One afternoon in an ill-lit hole in Spring Hill, W.Va., I took a seat at the bar and ordered a beer. I glanced down the bar. On the end stool sat a wrinkled old woman with stringy hair and the kind of concave mouth that means no teeth. I was 190 pounds and just out of the Marines. She wouldn't have weighed 90 pounds carrying a sack of bowling balls. She looked at me, scowled, squinted, and said in a slow, deliberate voice, "You say one word to me and I'll knock you off that stool."
(2) My introduction to this area came during training at Fort A.P. Hill. One evening a few of us drove down Route 2 to a Caroline pool hall. We were tolerated by the locals but nothing more.
At the next table sat a family--two or three grown sons, a daughter-in-law or two, and a large, ruddy older woman who looked like she could take a bronze in the hammer toss. All at once, the old lady slammed her beer glass on the table and glared at one of the young men. She began to shake, then, rising from her chair, hollered, "I'll kill him! I'll kill the [most obscene word in the English language]!"
Hands were on her shoulders. "Now, Ma. Sit down, Ma."
We drove to the safety of the Enlisted Men's Club.

I made this skirt as a birthday gift for my best friend. It has an apron or pinafore style inspired by the creations of the member FancyClothing. The skirt features a zip up the back and straps that will be fastened by buttons on the back once I decide which ones to use. The pattern for this skirt was fun to make, the sewing part was enjoyable as always, and I'm looking forward to wrapping it up for my friend. I hope she likes it!

FOXBOROUGH -- Someone's hearing footsteps.
Veteran tight end Benjamin Watson was back on the practice field Monday morning, his first appearance in training camp since the fourth practice session, back on July 31st. In between his last appearance and Monday, Watson missed 15 practices, a whopping total for anyone not on the physically unable to perform list.
Since Watson's last appearance, Dave Thomas has shown flashes of versatility and newcomers Alex Smith and Chris Baker have shown improved chemistry with quarterback Tom Brady. Even Tyson DeVree has had his moments of glory.
So where does that leave Watson?
The 28-year-old has been a bit of a mixed bag since arriving in Foxborough. A first-round pick out of Georgia in 2004, he split duties with Daniel Graham his first three years in the league until Graham left in free agency following the 2006 season. Watson had his best season in 2006 when he had 49 catches for 643 yards and three touchdowns. But over the years, he's also struggled mightily with injury -- he's never played a full, 16-game regular-season -- as well as some ill-timed drops that have left fans fuming.
Last season, he had 22 catches for 209 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Late in the year, Watson celebrated the birth of his daughter with a touchdown celebration move in a Dec. 7 win over the Seahawks in Seattle, which drew a bad penalty. Coincidence or not, he didn't catch a pass the rest of the season.
With two new veterans in the system joining Watson, Thomas and DeVree, the field is crowded. (Keeping in mind that Bill Belichick has been known to collect tight ends the way some people collect stamps, it's hardly a surprise.) But Monday's 90-plus temperatures notwithstanding, it's easy to see why some people believe the heat is on Watson this preseason.
"It's been very frustrating, but it's part of the deal," said Watson, who was missing from the Monday afternoon session. "It's part of playing football. [I'm] just working to get back."
Given the nature of the competition at the position, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Watson said it was hard not to rush back quicker than he did this camp. But at the same time, he acknowledges that he has to take the bigger picture into account.
"Definitely. As an athlete, any time you're not able to participate for whatever reason it is, your goal is always to get back, and you tend to rush," Watson said. "That's why they have guys like Coach (Bill) Belichick and guys like (Patriots Head Trainer) Jim Whelan, who manage that and make those decisions for you."
"[Watson has] got a lot of strengths. He's fast. He's athletic. He's a real smart guy," Belichick said. "He's versatile athletically and he's versatile mentally, so he can do a lot of things. He can play on the line. He can play off the line. He can play detached. He can play in close. He has a good skill set."
In Watson's absence, both Baker and Smith have worked primarily with the No. 1 offense. Baker has displayed an impressive willingness to work with Brady -- the quarterback and tight end were seen earlier in camp trying to get a timing route down after practice. Smith has also shown an ability to work within the New England system. Thomas has been put in several spots on the field, and has appeared to respond well. And DeVree -- an afterthought at the start of training camp -- has shown a knack for catching everything that's been thrown in his direction.
They've all been on the field for most of camp. Watson, more often than not, hasn't.
"I'd like to see every player on the field," Belichick said. "We'd like to see them all out there.
"I don't think it really matters what any of us did last year or any other year. We're into a new season and that goes for everybody: coaches, players, veteran players, rookie players, guys that were on this team last year, guys that were on another team last year. We're starting a new process. We all need to get ourselves ready. That encompasses the whole team. There's nobody that's exempt from that."
"Any time you're not out there, it's tough," Watson said. "The important thing is to realize it's only been 'x' amount of days. But in camp, everything feels so long. Just trying to do the best I can in the training room and get back out there. That's my main goal."

Shaw Communications announces $1 million donation to first official charity partner of Shaw Charity Classic
June 18, 2013
CALGARY, AB– Shaw Communications Inc. announced today a $1 million commitment to support Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta, the first Official Charity Partner of the Shaw Charity Classic.

years, and we're honoured to have the opportunity to lend our support to such a worthwhile organization. We know that this donation will go a long way towards improving the lives of some very special children."
Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta helps families face childhood cancer by providing programs and funding in four areas: camp; research; hospital programs; and scholarships. Since its inception in 1991, Kids Cancer Care has sent thousands of children affected by cancer to camp thanks to the generous support of the community.
"This is a remarkable contribution, it allows us to complete our improvements at Camp Kindle to enhance the camp experience for children living with cancer," said Christine McIver, Founder and CEO of the Kids Cancer Care Foundation. "On behalf of these amazing kids and their families, I give my heartfelt thanks to Shaw Communications for this generous donation."
"We are grateful to Shaw Communications for making this donation on behalf of the Shaw Charity Classic," stated Clay Riddell, Tournament Chairman. "We look forward to seeing the benefits of this generous contribution to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation. This is the first of many charity announcements that will be coming out of this great community event."
The donation by Shaw Communications is the first to be announced as part of the Shaw Charity Classic, the new Champions Tour event being held at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in Calgary from August 26-September 1, 2013.More information regarding the Shaw Charity Classic can be found at www.shawcharityclassic.com.
