With the world premiere of Sam Taylor Wood's anticipated exploration of John Lennon's childhood, "Nowhere Boy," the Times-BFI 53rd London Film Festival will come to a close tomorrow night after two weeks of screenings totaling 191 features and 113 shorts. It caps off what's been an important year for the still evolving fest. Additional funding from the UK Film Council allowed the materialization of what festival Artistic Director Sandra Hebron called "a whole series of aspirations that we've had for years." Among them, the introduction of new awards for best film and best British newcomer, which will be announced tonight (get the full list of winners here ), increasing the international profile of the fest through bringing international press, investing more in their nightly galas in London's Leicester Square, and including more world and European premieres (which stood at 15 and 23 this year, respectively).
Hebron sat down with indieWIRE in the midst of the madness to chat about the festival, which she has led for six years now. A former academic and short filmmaker, Hebron's excitement for the festival's potential profile growth as a result of this year's initiatives was quickly evident.
"For years, London was known as a festival of festivals," she said. "And that is important because it's a sort of great way of bringing films to London that might not get here otherwise. But I think in any festival you need to have some element of discovery too. It can't be a kind of greatest hits festival. I think particularly, when the timing works out, it's great if there's new British films we can give world premieres to. But at the same time, the festival is an international festival."
The festival opened with the premiere of Wes Anderson's "The Fantastic Mr. Fox", marking the second consecutive impressive opening night grab, after last year's "Frost/Nixon." Along with Los Angeles's AFI Fest (which opened with John Patrick Shanley's "Doubt" last year, and less impressively will close with Kirk Jones' "Everybody's Fine" this year), London has been showing signs of its potential as an alternative premiere platform for major fall releases that either want to avoid the risk of getting lost in the Toronto-Telluride-Venice sea, or simply aren't ready in time for those end-of-summer fests.
Hebron feels this kind of thing is really important for the long term health of the London Film Festival.
"As you know, one of the things we're trying to do this year is raise the international profile a little," she explained. "And that's just not about wanting to do that for the sake of it. I mean, why do we want to raise the international profile? Why do we want to improve the services that we provide for our industry delegates? Because actually, that's how you get a good festival for the public. The more that filmmakers and film companies want to put their films in London, the better the program will be for the audiences. So I see all those things as very clearly linked."
Despite scoring the premieres of the quite well-received "Mr. Fox" and likely to be well-received "Nowhere Boy" (early reviews have been glowing, and it just got six British Independent Film Award nominations), and premiering 13 other films that have found varied responses (Malcom Venville's "44 Inch Chest," Sarah Turner's "Perestroika," Penny Woolcock's "1 Day" and Chris Atkin's "Starsuckers" among them), London is still predominately a showcase for the best cinema screened in fests like Cannes and Toronto. It's interesting to attend the festival directly after the New York Film Festival. Arguably the cultural capital cities of the two most populated English-speaking nations in the world, New York and London take on their fall film showcases in very different manners.
"London is not New York," Hebron said. "We are a much bigger festival. We have a very broad range, which is to show the best of world cinema. And that really is delightfully broad. What that means is that the program ranges from, at one end of the spectrum, artist film and video, experimental work, restorations, right through to the pre-release premieres of films that will have significant distribution in the UK. What we don't do is the big, purely commercial studio pictures. We will show studio pictures if they kind of fit with the festival... So if they're intelligent, original or smart, not if they're just purely going after a commercial audience."
Though Hebron got quite defensive of the smaller, much more curated NYFF - which was heavily criticized this year for being too elitist and bleak.
"I love the New York Film Festival," she said. "It's almost like the perfect film festival for me in that it's small and focused. I think that Richard [Pena] is a really great festival director. I think he has good taste, and I think he's very collegiate. We've swapped information back and forth between us many a time. So I found all that criticism really dispiriting, and kind of mean-minded in a way. However, that's another story..."
Another contrast between London and New York is that while NYFF underwent some considerable changes this year, at least in part due to economic restraints from the recession (including a downsizing of the lavish opening night party), the 2009 LFF seemed almost recession-proof. On one hand due to government funding from aforementioned institutions like the UK Film Council, and on another - due to surprising strength from commercial sponsors.
"The festival relies very heavily on commercial sponsorship," Hebron explained. "It's at least a third of our income... And what has been incredibly gratifying this year is that actually we have exceeded our targets on that front. Now, whether that's going to continue next year is another thing. We were worried for this year. But I think part of what's been helpful for us is that we have a number of sponsors who have stayed with us through several years. So I think it's always easier to retain sponsors than it is to find new ones. But we can't be complacent about next year. The recession is not going to disappear over night."
A major issue next year should find itself in the fact that 2009 was London's final year with UK newspaper The Times as their headline sponsor, so Hebron admits that they have a "large gap to fill."
Either way, the fact that the festival hit its box office target seven days ahead of schedule certainly bodes well in one regard. Even the plentiful weekday afternoon screenings were often packed, and the festival managed to fill London's famed Trafalgar Square with over 4,500 people on a cold October night for a screening of... archival shorts about public transit.
"I mean it's archive shorts," Hebron squealed with excitement. "And its London in October! Not exactly noted for its great weather."
The London Film Festival continues through tomorrow night.

Ce logement confortable est trés bien situé; au coeur de la ville, il permet des déplacements faciles et à proximité des différents commerces.
Charming small apartment, tastefully decorated with a pretty little building very well located (on the 3rd floor without elevator, beware too heavy suitcases!) Everything is within walking distance. Few minor gripes environment very sound (fortunately it is not every day Halloween!) And a tiny shower cubicle / WC. The home owners is correct, a tip: do not forget to ask Eurico where the key to open the door window in case ...
Petit appartement charmant, décoré avec goût d'un joli petit immeuble très bien situé (au 3è étage sans ascenseur, gare aux valises trop lourdes!)
Tout est très accessible à pieds.
Quelques petits points négatifs un environnement très sonore, (heureusement ce n'est pas tous les jours Halloween !!!) et un minuscule cabinet de douche/WC.
L'accueil des propriétaires est correct, un conseil :
n'oubliez pas de demander à Eurico où se trouve la clef pour ouvrir la porte fenêtre au cas où...
Super nice, tastefully decorated apartment. The bed is 140 cm wide, the hard mattress and easily. Everything is very clean and of high quality. In the bathroom is marble on the walls in the shower. Disadvantage: The bathroom is very very small, great people here might have a problem. For us, two girls, but it was totally awesome.

80MPH. I can easly cruise 70MPH all day long.
Sorry for the delay. They do use the stock O2 sensor and EFI systems.
I will go double check today, but I think the rev-limiter kicks in at 5K on a stock 2010 C5 and its only pulling 77 MPH on a dyno
I'm pretty sure the Enfield speedos only measure how fast it FEELS like you are going. Nifty tech.
(I have since fabbed up a 750cc+ intake tube between the filter & TB, after reading Ace's comments on intake plenums in another thread.)
I check my speedo against my GPS whenever I have a chance. At lower speeds (under 50), it's off by a solid 5 mph, but at higher speeds (over 60) it's only off by 2-3 mph dependably. I cruise at 80 on the eway all the time and can exceed that speed without coming anywhere near the rev limiter. The highest indicated that I've ever hit was 90 mph, and I believe it was within that 2-3 mph diff. My bikes a slightly modified 2011 C5 (complete Hitchcock exhaust, K&N cone, 19T, and at least a 50# diet of missing steel).(I have since fabbed up a 750cc+ intake tube between the filter & TB, after reading Ace's comments on intake plenums in another thread.)
Do you have a pic of the TB tube?
It's rather like trying to take a deep breath from a hose connected to a 50 gallon oil drum vs trying to take the same breath from a similar hose connected to a 2 liter Coke bottle with a small hole in the bottom.

It took some time -shame, shame, shame on me- to get Eau de Guerlain onto my shelves of cologne and perfume, but it's definitely here to stay.
Up to now my perfume reviews have concerned those heavy, smelly, powerful, overwhelming families I affection so much: leathers and woody, oriental ambers. But this extreme needs to be balanced out!
Let me now share with you my pyjama family -yes, a personal nomenclature, for those colognes I generously splash on after my end-of-workday / beginning of evening shower and softened, when appropriate, with a bit of talc while I wait for my Tamaryokucha to steep. All this makes for the start-off of a marvellous evening. My pyjama party includes but is not limited to 4711, Eau d'Orange Verte -Hermès, Eau de cologne des princes -L.T. Piver, Lavanda -Ach. Brita, Jean-Marie Farina -Roger&Gallet, Étiquette bleue -d'Orsay and now Eau de Guerlain.
The beginning of Eau de Guerlain is a flustering explosion of lime flying here, orange shooting there and lemon darting about -N.B.: my description doesn't fit with the pyramid description often provided.
I've now forgotten the day's frustrations.
Frankly I'm happy to say that the limes and lemons do hang around for some time! Progressively the citrus fireworks slides into a sophisticated and well-rounded orange-blossom that holds on for some time with discreet woody underlying notes that I think keep the orang-blossom under control.
Though it can be attached to the eaux fraîches familly of fleeting scents, Eau de Guerlain is an eau de toilette, not an eau de cologne, and stays true, though quiet-spoken, throughout the day.

My daughter is 18 mo. old and she is violent, I don't know what to do??
My daughter is 18 mo. old and she is really violent when she is mad. If I tell her no or take something away she will smack me, pull my hair, scratch my face, and kick me. I don't understand where she got this from! Her step brother is a few years diff. from her so he doesn't do these things and I just don't understand where she gets it from. I have tried EVERYTHING! I have tried time out, swatting on the butt, just sternly saying "No," ignoring her, everything! She is extremely smart (even though she doesn't talk that much, she fully comprehends entire sentences) and will close her eyes or cover her face when she knows she is in trouble and act like im not there! When I tell her no she will look right at me and do it again! I don't know what to do anymore and I don't understand why she is so mean! I love her dearly and she can be such an angel, but she is also very much the reverse!

What you are going through is enough to break any mothers heart! I'm 33 weeks along with my 4th and had this problem with my daughter. My opinion is that you probably have a very intelligent and frustrated little girl there. Because she is so young she still battles to verbalize her wants and needs and is therefore acting out (even aggresively). Intellect needs to be stimulated! In my case I saw a massive improvement when I concentrated on stimulating my baby, with education toys, DVDs etc. Another thing that worked well is always looking at her in her eyes when saying no, so she can see how serious my expression is. The worst thing you can do (and I know this is very difficult) is shout and scream. Another relaxing thing for toddlers, children and teens is fish. Having a fish tank or fish bowl is amazing, kids watch them swim and are immediately calm it's astonishing really. Hope this helps, good luck! :-)posted 05/27/2010 by lynettef1
GIVE ATTENTION TO YOUR CHILDREN, NOT CONGRADULATING THEM ON MISS BEHAVING, BUT SAYS " THATS NOT NICE" NOT "NO" FOR MANY "NO" IS THIER CHILDS FIRST BUNDLE OF WORDS. TRY GIVING ATTENTION BY PLAY WITH YOUR LITTLE ONE, READING A BOOK. (SHORT STORY) COLORING, BAKING, ECT. THAT KIND IF ATTENTION.posted 07/09/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
If your baby is crying out of frustration from lack of communication, you might try filling in the blanks for him/her and guessing what he/she wants, i.e. Do you want the ball? Do you want to eat? Would you like some milk? If she understands you well, it's the best chance in my opinion to get her to calm down. This would be particularly effective if you could show her the item at the same time or do some basic sign language. In terms of discipline, with my kid, I always say, "Ow! We don't hit people, that hurts." (We- because you can't argue with house rules as opposed to mommy says--- plus then it becomes a team front and a basic reason why). I don't do spankings for discipline either. My little one goes directly into her crib until she calms down. When she's calm, I let her out and explain again why she was in trouble, and that hitting means she gets time-outs and that we don't like time outs. I finish by asking her with a smile if she's going to be a good girl. One can hope,right?posted 06/25/2012 by Ilieawakedreaming
carmencreativejuice, does your mother regularly take care of your son, or spend a lot of time with you guys? Our son occasionally acts out with us (DH and I) when the other person IS around. DS will hit my husband, or jerk his glasses off, while watching to see my reaction. He'll do the reverse if I'm holding him. Luckily, at 23 months, this has almost abated.posted 07/15/2012 by ADTWF
@ADTWF. Yes. mother sold her house and is now living with us. Also, she has a creche and he used to go there everyday. so he did see and still sees my mother quite a lot. I think since taking him out of her creche and now having him at home (with my husbands mother looking after him at home) his violence towards my mother and to me when my mother is around, I think it's because he is scared she is going to take him away to the creche. But yeah, I think also part of it is as you say. He is doing these things also just to see the other person's reaction or to get a reaction. But I must say, his violence towards me is becoming gradually less and less.posted 07/23/2012 by carmencreativejuice
Stop getting mad her. She's 18 months old and she's seeing what works. Spanking her is only going to fuel the hitting. She's too young to understand time outs. Why does she get so mad at everything? Is she feeling like she needs more attention? Is she feeling like she has to fight for what she wants? She is reacting the way she is for a reason. Usually 18 month olds aren't inherently evil. If she hits or whatever, I would get eye level and tell her NO hit, you hurt mommy and now mommy's sad. Then look sad. If she hits again, walk away if she is someplace safe. If she is responsive, tell her say sorry mommy. Give hugs. She may not be able to SAY sorry, but giving the hug works. The main things it to NOT react though.posted 07/08/2012 by Lisa_IndArbonneRep
It's important to discuss behavioral problems with your child's pediatrician. There can be many reasons for your daughters outbursts. You should talk with your partner then discuss it with the doctor. But do not have a wait and see attitude or you could end up with an even bigger problem on your hands. I used to babysit a little boy who would have horrific tantrums when he didn't get his way and I encouraged his mother to talk to her husband then the doctor. Sadly he got worse and worse to the point where he was constantly hurting people around him. His mom and dad finally talked to the doctor and found out his particular troubles and he is a COMPLETELY different kid. He plays better with others, he listens to his parents better, he is more affectionate and we all found out that he LOVES to color. Talk to your child's doctor.posted 06/23/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
If your kiddo is having trouble expressing herself,see if you can find out if she has a speech problem and also teach her sign language! A lot of kids can use signing more than spoken language and that can help the frustration more than anything. Not being able to express yourself often leadsto tempertantrums in kids. Good luck!posted 06/21/2012 by Amavala
I have been having this same problem with my now 19month old son. It is still a problem to a degree, but what I see is starting to help is (to my surprise) Tellytubbies. But this only really works in the evenings. He dances and sings with and claps hands, and loves it when there are things that comes up that he can recognize and say, like ball and blue and flower and baba etc. Anyway, I still have a problem with his violent behavior when it comes to my mother. He hits me as soon as we go near her (though not always, but often enough) and especially when she kisses him. He scratches and hits me as if his life depends on it. Also when he doesn't get his way. I understand that he just gets frustrated when he can't get his way, but don't know why he resorts to violence and am struggling a bit to get it under control.posted 06/21/2012 by carmencreativejuice

On health care reform
March 7th, 2010 | Published in History of Bowling
Health care reform is an old issue in the bowling world.
In 1935, Indianapolis proprietor Jess Pritchett proposed a plan "whereby the sick and disabled bowler can be taken care of by hospitalization."
Smoking controversies also are nothing new to bowling.
In a 1939 column, Mort Luby Sr. suggested the ABC Tournament's smoking policy should be altered — to allow smoking on the lanes.

Clearly expressing his views about three Muslim sects, a sheikh from Al-Azhar is accused of speaking irreverently of them. Angry reactions from the followers of these sects range from calling for apologies to the taking his life 'as the only decent reply to his disrespect of their beliefs.
At a time when every possible effort is being exerted to end inter-Arab doctrinal, ideological and political differences, an Azharite sheikh sparked a crisis by speaking irreverently of three Muslim sects. Instead of trying to strengthen solidarity and understanding among them, he seemed to undermine any chance of possible rapprochement. People in the sheikh's position should be discreet enough to look before they leap and to weigh their words well before speaking.
Untimely and unjustifiable
A prominent Azharite sheikh stirred emotions recently when he publicly discredited the validity of three Muslim sects, which are considered the backbone of socio-political structures in many Arab countries, especially Syria and Lebanon. Sheikh Ahmed Taha Rayan's fatwa elicited very angry strictures from the Druze, Isma'lia and Alawi sects, whose followers insisted that killing the sheikh is the only decent reply to his disrespect of their beliefs. Approximately two months ago, Sheikh Rayan, a professor of comparative fiqh [Islamic jurisprudence] in Al-Azhar University, appeared in [sic - on] an Arab satellite channel and fiercely criticized the principles of the three sects which he described as inconsistent with the teachings of Islam. The Alawi sect demanded a formal apology for Al-Azhar and the Egyptian Foreign Ministry notified the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Sheikh Tantawi of the political tension created by Rayan's fatwa. Tantawi refused to offer an apology and referred the issue to the rector of Al-Azhar University, who referred the issue in turn to the Legal Affairs Department to look into it. Meanwhile, the satellite channel steered clear of this quagmire by apologizing to the Alawi sect. It passed the buck to the sheikh, affirming that his views do not reflect the beliefs or the policy of the channel. The Alawi sect attached this apology to its complaint and demanded a similar apology from Al-Azhar, arguing that its members should be aware of the responsibility of belonging to this prestigious religious institution.
Lapse of judgment
During his interview Sheikh Rayan sent shockwaves among the audience when he bluntly stated that the three sects couldn't be classified as Muslim sects. He claimed that its followers don't observe all the fundamental ordinances which Muslims observe. It is very difficult to account for this pathetic lapse of judgment, especially from a man known for his discretion and tolerance of religious differences. It was also very unreasonable for one person to install himself as the paramount judge of other people's consciences and religious beliefs. The flood of phone-ins to the live show partook [sic] of fury and bitterness, as Alawis from different parts of the world phoned in to contest the sheikh's unsparing fatwa. Realizing that he unconsciously stepped into [sic - on] a landmine, the sheikh tried to mitigate the severity of his words, arguing that it was not possible to generalize, but it was too late. He already aroused emotion by his glib generalities. One caller said: "Had the speaker been an average person, this ill-informed opinion could have been tolerated. But an Azharite sheikh cannot be forgiven for this folly."
Like wildfire
Expatriate Alawi sect followers in Australia, who felt gravely insulted by the sheikh, organized a huge conference where they called for wreaking vengeance on Sheikh Rayan for his irreverence. Another group of Alawi expatriates issued a statement refuting the argument of the sheikh by explaining that they observe all the rites ordained [sic - enjoined] on Muslims. In an effort to politicize the issue, they highlighted that Syrian President Hafez Al-Assad was a follower of the Alawi sect, thereby threatening to stir an acute political crisis. The Foreign Ministry was aware of the tension this issue might spark, especially at the time when the Syrian people voted for Al-Assad to maintain [sic] a new term in of office. Obviously, Sheikh Rayan's discretion failed to serve him right this time. Over centuries, Al-Azhar maintained a neutral stand regarding the doctrinal differences among Muslim sects in order to avoid the possibility of sectarian seditions. On the contrary, it tried to highlight the common ground they share to prove that they have more similarities than dissimilarities. The reaction of the Alawis may be drastic, but the followers of any sect would have reacted similarly if they had seen their beliefs publicly discredited the such a disrespectful way.

If you really want tom mics, various people here have recommended the bargain-basement "Yoga" ones as being good enough for the price, until you want to spend proper money on proper mics. Never used them myself - I've got some nice Audix tom mics (which really don't get much use, TBH).

Today was my first organized ride, thanks to those of you who suggested the 39 mile distance in one of my other threads, It was a good choice.
Woke up at 4:30 AM, got my stuff together and got in the car. The ride to Owego, NY from state college was a decent 3 hour drive, with a lot of back country roads. I arrived at around 8:00 and signed in, received my cue sheet, tee shirt, and promotional material about tourism in the area. It was about 50 degrees, and to be honest I was cold. After changing into my bike shorts and tee shirt (no jersey till I break 200 pounds) and ate some of the free breakfast included with my registration. Today was day two of the event, most people there today had rode yesterday. The Sunday Metric left the Village of Owego at around 8:30, while I got the bike off the car and started getting ready for the ride. Of the 14 people riding the 39 mile loop, only 2 had checked in at the official start time. The other cyclist was Ben, who introduced himself to me when he overheard we were riding the same route. After a little more waiting for no-one, we grabbed some water bottles, bananas, chewy bars, and crackers and took off.
Ben, who appeared to be around 60 years old, warned me from the beginning that he didn't set any land speed records, and that he had ridden the 42 mile loop yesterday, and had to walk some of the hills. He was riding a trek 7.3 FX, decked out with fenders, rack, bell, and all, with all terrain tires instead of road. When I told him that I didn't spend money or gas to ride by myself, and that I'd rather take 4 hours to do the ride then to finish by myself in 2, he smiled and told me he wouldn't mind a fellow cyclist either. We began our trip out of town, with light traffic thanks to it being Sunday. The initial roads were state routes with plenty of broken glass and potholes.
Soon we took our first detour off the busy highway, climbing up a nice healthy hill. Ben was spinning away in low gear, with myself in tow. Eventually we worked out a system where the hills were every man for himself, regroup at the top. Every time we got to the top of a hill, he was smiling and yelling at me for being a young wipper snapper, but away we went. I actually ENJOYED the 15 mph pace. After the first 2 mile climb, the next road was moderate rollers for two miles, and then back on the highway. Those off highway roads had some of the nicest road surface for farm country I have ever ridden. And it was nice and flat, something I haven't had all summer. Right before the first big left in the square shape of the route, someone finally caught us. Some little guy on a carbon specialized zipped past. Ben told me that if I wanted to catch up to him, I could, but I could tell he was enjoying having the safety and conversation I provided, and I enjoyed his pace, so I stuck with him. The new rider had stopped at the next turn in the road at a gas station for supplies, so we passed him and rode the next section, a gradual uphill, for a while until he finally passed us again. At this point were about halfway.
After being passed by Speed Racer the second time, we turned onto the next road, the longest stretch on a single road our entire trip, and got some food from our stores. Ben and I shared conversation about who we were, how long we'd been riding, etc. When we took off again, it was another decent uphill, then the best stretch of the entire trek. Fun downhills, followed by uphills that your momentum got you over with minimal effort, beautiful farm country, views of the valley below, and wildlife galore (including a doe and fawn who ran across the road only a few yards ahead of the two of us.) At the bottom of this stretch we reached a minor state route that road back into town. Ben said he was going to take a break again, but that I should go ahead for the last 4 miles, as long as I promised to wait for him at the finish. I took off for the last 4 miles, getting a workout in, pushing myself to make up for the easy pace I had taken. Averaging over 20 mph over these last 4 miles of rolling hills, I rolled in to the start/end point and dismounted.
We all reported back in after our rides, and then got a lunch of subs and plenty of drinks and snacks. I changed my shirt and sat down and socialized, and met the Speed Racer off the bike. About 15 minutes later, maybe a little more Ben rolled in, put his bike on his car and sat and talked some more. It turns out he's 80, and still loves riding. Four years ago he completed TOSRV, a 210 mile two day bike tour in Ohio. The man is an animal. After a bit more conversation I packed up the car and rode a much simpler drive back, thanks to some helpful people.
All in all it was a great day. For 15 bucks I got 2 meals, a tee shirt, a water bottle, snacks for on the road, and an organized ride, even if it was only the two of us. I even got interviewed by the local news, and made it on tv! Heres the news story for the event: http://www.wbng.com/news/local/A-Sce...100227559.html . I'm the one with the blue shirt from troy. I can't wait for my half century on the 21st in Bennington Vermont, and then I'm planning on doing the Metric Century Great River Ride in Western Mass in October. I love cycling.

Republican Plurality of Over 4,500, Double That of 1892.
Every Town Republican—All Republican Members of the Legislature—Biennials
Favored by a Good Majority.
Franklin county arose to the occasion and more than doubled her strongest Republican
plurality. She left nothing to be taken for granted, but contributed grandly
to the safe and sound national and State cause. To what extent? McKinley carried
every town and every voting precinct in the county. His vote was nearly six
to one for Bryan. The exact plurality, 4594. McKinley, 5679, Bryan, 1085.
On the Governor vote the plurality fell a little below 4000. Gov. Wolcott fell
behind McKinley 672 votes and Geo. Fred Williams actually ran ahead of Bryan,
although but 54 votes. This showed that the Franklin voters were moved by the
principle involved in the great national contest and not, by the personal choice
between Wolcott and Williams, although that choice was expressed by double the
ordinary Republicans plurality. The combined vote for Republican congressional
candidates in the towns belonging to the first and second districts was 4920;
Democratic, 1198; a Republican margin of 3722.
Greenfield gave a Republican plurality of 590, casting more votes for McKinley
than any other town in the county. Orange gave McKinley 935 votes, a plurality
of 822. In Montague the Democratic vote dwindles to 260, and 607 votes were
given McKinley, a margin of 447. Monroe gave only one vote for Bryan, 51 for
McKinley. Heath struck the 16 to 1 ration, her vote being 84 to 5.
There was a total absence of local contests. Some scattering votes for Seymour
Rockwell, who was not on the ballot, were the only dissent from Joseph B. Farley's
almost unanimous election to the senate. The representatives elected are all
survivals of last year. Packard of Conway had no opponent and won by 1355 votes.
Parsons of Greenfield had a plurality of 610 over his Democratic opponent. Mayo
of Montague failed to carry Whately and the South Deerfield precinct, but had
a margin of 310, in the district. Harding of Orange carried all his towns and
had 1002 plurality.
There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This article from the Greenfield, Massachusetts, "Gazette and Courier" reports favorably on the Republican victory in the 1896 election. Franklin County voted nearly six to one for McKinley over Bryan and voted in the Republican candidates for governor and congress as well. The writer of the article is pleased that the county voted overwelmingly Republican. William McKinley won the 1896 election by a very large margin over William Jennings Bryant.

In an era when most movie cameras seem to be moving more, jerking and jumping around, obscuring what they're supposed to be capturing, Tsai Ming-liang's camera grows ever more still, gazing boldly and steadily at a scene for so long that we get to know its every corner. In his 2004 masterpiece Goodbye Dragon Inn, I detected one, maybe two, moving shots. But in his latest film, I Don't Want to Sleep Alone, it doesn't even budge that much.
Tsai has never been one for telling linear, easily explained stories, but at least some of his earlier films had recognizable elements. In The River (1994), Hsiao-kang (Lee Kang-sheng) takes a job in a movie playing a corpse floating in the polluted Tanshui River and develops a mysterious and apparently incurable pain in his neck. In The Hole (1998), a virus has turned most of the population into human cockroaches, and a remaining human couple bonds when a hole opens up between their apartments. In What Time Is It There? (2001), a watch salesman dreams about a girl he has only barely met as she travels to Paris (he watches The 400 Blows on video and she meets the real life Jean-Pierre Leaud). And in Goodbye Dragon Inn, several lonely people pass a rainy night in a dilapidated movie theater on the last night of its existence.
p class="MsoNormal">Tsai's last movie The Wayward Cloud was more disparate and difficult to explain, and the same goes for I Don't Want to Sleep Alone. To start, Tsai's regular leading man Lee Kang-sheng appears in two roles, although it's not clear how or why. The film opens with a man laying in a hospital bed, either sleeping or unconscious, while opera trills on a nearby radio. Next up, we see the same man, or perhaps a different man, getting himself into hot water with a con man on the streets. (Let's assume that it's Hsiao-kang, since Lee Kang-sheng plays roughly the same character with the same name in all of Tsai's films.) We can infer from the dialogue that Hsiao-kang is now in Malaysia instead of Taiwan, and is unaware of the language or the customs. (Though currently based in Taiwan, Tsai was born in Malaysia.)
Next up, a group of young men dig a mattress out of a dumpster and carry it halfway across town. They come across the badly beaten Hsiao-kang and carry him home. A man, Rawang (Norman Atun), cleans the mattress and sets up a bed for Hsiao-kang, washing him, caring for him, bringing him food and even sleeping beside him under a mosquito netting. Meanwhile, a waitress Chyi (Chen Shiang-Chyi), at a nearby cafe looks after the paralyzed Hsiao-kang doppelganger. Apparently this is part of her job duties, which also includes "pleasuring" the patient. The recuperating Hsiao-kang runs into Chyi, and they begin one of those trademark Tsai relationships, based more on sex and loneliness than actual romantic devotion.
Most of the film takes place in a large, mostly-abandoned concrete-and-steel building, which is partially flooded. Hsiao-kang and others often sit by the indoor lake, either fishing or listening to a generator (perhaps a pump?). All of Tsai's films use water as a motif, both for its life-giving properties and for its destructive properties. Water is usually beating away at man-made structures, or it sits, gathering disease and pollution. The Wayward Cloud took place during a drought. But all that water does little good as this time Tsai focuses on its opposite, fire, filling the city with a rolling, choking smoke that causes most of the inhabitants to don cotton masks. When Hsiao-kang and Chyi try to make love, they wind up coughing and wheezing before they can even make it to second base.
As with The Wayward Cloud, Tsai imparts most of the movie's core information through news broadcasts and radio announcements. But even so, I Don't Want to Sleep Alone is highly arbitrary, and most of the above plot and character description is merely guesswork. Most movies over-explain their plot and characters, but Tsai deliberately under-explains, preferring to leave some things a mystery. It's not even clear whether he's still following his previously established arc, in which Hsiao-kang went from being a watch salesman (What Time Is It There?) to a porn star (the short film The Skywalk Is Gone and The Wayward Cloud). Perhaps the paralyzed Hsiao-kang belongs to the larger story arc and the injured one is a new character? There's no telling.

Better tighten that chinstrap, Juan Garcia. Casey Bulyca and Ryan Tolar, you might want to tie down those shoulder pads extra tight. You're about to spend...
LOS ANGELES — Better tighten that chinstrap, Juan Garcia. Casey Bulyca and Ryan Tolar, you might want to tie down those shoulder pads extra tight.
You're about to spend three hours Saturday night with a 305-pound medicine ball in cardinal and gold named Sedrick Ellis. Whatever you're getting in that monthly scholarship check, it's not enough.
Sedrick Ellis? The name doesn't carry the familiarity of USC players like John David Booty, or linebackers like Keith Rivers and Rey Maualuga, but there are knowledgeable people around USC football that swear Ellis is the best player on the roster.
Not that recognition will be a problem, but the University of Washington center and guards will be able to pick him out by the tattoo on his leg: "Beast." It's a pretty apt description for how the 6-foot-2 Ellis goes about his work.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Your vote counts so little in today's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
- Seattle fifth-graders will get their camp trip, but teachers refuse to go
Most Read Stories
"Great job, sweetheart!" exclaimed USC athletic director and ex-Heisman winner Mike Garrett, addressing the USC nose tackle the other night after the Trojans' 47-14 victory over Washington State. "So much penetration, it was unbelievable."
"Thank you," Ellis said appreciatively. "I'm going to have to mention it to the coach."
Maybe if the Huskies mime Garrett's approach, calling Ellis sweetheart, he'll be in a more jocular mood at 5 p.m. Saturday.
The Trojans' defense has been labeled one for the ages. Truth be told, it hasn't fully looked the part, but don't blame Ellis.
It all starts with him. He routinely demands a double-team from the center and guard. Try to block him one-on-one, and you're either as cocky as Terrell Owens or not spending enough time watching video.
The math is easy; if Ellis is occupying two of your linemen — and sometimes besting them — there are a lot of seething Trojans like Rivers and Maualuga running free to chase Jake Locker.
"Yeah, it gets frustrating at times, that the [other] guys get single blocks," Ellis said. "But as a nose tackle, that's your job description. We can't really complain. You've got to bite down your mouthpiece and try to get as much pressure up the middle as possible."
In the dominating victory at Nebraska, he had five tackles — one a sack — and a couple of passes deflected at a position where stats don't make the man.
For offenses eyeballing video, it's déjà vu. A few years ago on USC national-title teams, Mike Patterson was the stumpy disrupter in the middle of the defense. Ellis learned under Patterson, who is now starting for the Philadelphia Eagles.
"A couple of years ago, I thought nobody could replace Mike," said Pete Carroll, the USC coach. "Sedrick is playing every bit as good as Mike did. From what I'm hearing from the NFL, he's one of the best prospects in the country at his position."
"Best D-lineman I've ever seen," said Trojans offensive tackle Sam Baker, himself a prospective first-round draft choice, talking about Ellis. "I wouldn't know how to prepare for him."
Ellis came out of Chino, just east of Los Angeles. His three recruiting visits were a glimpse into college football royalty, both then and now.
He took trips to USC, LSU and Oklahoma the year before the Tigers and Sooners played in the 2004 BCS title game while USC, as No. 1 in The Associated Press vote, won a piece of the national championship. And those three are squarely in the hunt for another trophy in 2007.
"That was kind of a big, confused time for me," Ellis said, "but I definitely made the right choice. SC is a great place to be, right here in the city, and I love playing for coach Carroll. He's awesome."
Ellis' prepossessing trait is his strength. He has pushed up a team-best 510 in the bench press, and on USC's pro day last spring, hoisted 225 a ridiculous 42 times.
There was a brief period last January when USC's defensive rock — a 2007 preseason first-team All-American — weighed an early leap to the NFL. Then he felt the collegiate tug of a friendship with linemate Lawrence Jackson and decided the league could wait.
"We were roommates together freshman and sophomore year," Ellis said. "We're such good friends outside of football. He came to me and said, 'If you stay, I'll stay,' and vice versa.
"We just wanted to be together our last season and have fun."
For Ellis, fun is jamming offenses near their control booth. It's guys like him who allow the USC defense to be free of gimmickry, the philosophy being that superior athletes don't need to be taking a lot of risks.
"He changes the whole offense," says Trojans safety Taylor Mays. "He beats people, he intimidates."
Here's the best way to soften up Ellis: Ask him about a Rottweiler named Junior, whom he acquired to replace one of the same breed who died not long ago.
"That was my friend, my buddy," said Ellis. "I had to get another one. I never would have thought I'd get that attached to a dog."
Junior, of course, stays behind on football trips. And Ellis goes off to do his thing, one sweetheart of a nose tackle.

As Bing Crosby's "Silent Night" slowly fills the chilly, wintry nights, the smell of freshly baked pudding wafts in the air, the entire world gears up to usher in the festive season. While many prefer the warmth and love of home for Christmas, for the rest, the tolling bells bring about the travel times. Whether you are the stay-at-home or the traveling kind, it will pay to give some of these unheard of locales a visit this time around. Christmas Markets owe their origin to Germany, Austria, North Italy and South Tyrol although they have long stretched their geographical boundaries and spread all over Europe. However, with popularity, business was swapped for authenticity. What used to be an alternative to shopping at stores before has become predictable now. Things that are sold as "locally handcrafted" are actually made in Asian countries. The snacks are all too sugary while Christmas carols are being replaced by techno hits. However, there are still quaint rural markets you might have never heard of, small village fairs that never make it to the "Top Ten" lists and are largely frequented by only the locals. Here are some of those hidden gems:
Southern Germany
Esslingen am Neckar: Germany being the origin of Christkindlmarkts, my first pick is from the southern part of the country. Drive 9 miles southeast of Stuttgart or take the S-Bahn to reach this fairy tale land beside the river Neckar with narrow lanes snaking around the town dotted with half-timbered houses. The Town Hall Square is nothing short of a portal to the Middle ages. 180 odd stalls look as though they have been brought right out of the sixteenth century. Local merchants, artisans and craftsmen bring out their very best – you will find unique Medieval handicrafts and even some food cooked to the theme from that era. The local craftsmen done rustic dresses and speak in antiquated language as they sell leather goods, silver jewelry and dyed products. At every other corner, there is a musician playing unearthly tunes using instruments you might not even know existed. The true showmen are the street performers though – magic, sorcery, fire-eating, all of it. If you believe in them (and I suggest you do). There happens a torchlight procession to Esslingen Castle when the road to the castle transforms into a sea of light.
Don't Miss:
- Welcoming Winter Solstice by playing medieval music in the castle courtyard.
- The historical merry go round for the kids
- The performances by the fire eaters
If you go:
Dates: 10. December 2013, 11:00 – 20:30 o'clock until 22. December 2013, 11:00 – 20:30 o'clock Location: Esslingen am Neckar, Esslingen am Neckar
The rural market of Prien Am Chiemsee
Prien Am Chiemsee: For that perfectly cozy and romantic white Christmas feeling, head to Munich. But we are not here to visit the Christmas market. Munich makes for the most convenient stop towards Salzburg, Austria. In between you will come across the charming town of Prien on the banks of the very scenic Chiemsee – a popular tourist attraction in Bavaria with an above-average visitor count. In the winters however, even the last straggling tourists are long gone. The Christmas market is a favorite and well guarded secret of the locals. It would be an absolute crime not to taste the Glühwein here – a kind of German mulled wine. Or, try the watered down version – Kinderglühwein. A short boat trip from Prien to Frauenchiemsee is a small island surrounded by the lake just opposite Herrenchiemsee island that is home to the castle of the same name. On this elvish land live several artists, craftsmen, and fishermen. It is not difficult to imagine how amazing the Christmas market here turns out to be (by zale)! The market features only about 60 stalls. But these are loaded with local goodies.

The Alpine Christmas
Sarentino Alpine Christmas Market: Up in the snowy Alpine peaks, it is a small affair. This rural market with 20 odd stalls is hidden under a rock. A 30 minute drive from Bolzano will take you to the quiet village of Sarentino or Sarner in South Tyrol. Local
handicrafts and carefully crafted food delicacies steal the show here. South Tyrol shares its border with Austria and Switzerland and most inhabitants speak German giving the Christmas markets a distinctive German flavor but often well seasoned with Italian charms.

Sentience Of Time – Chapter XIII
The following story is a work of fiction and is 100 percent original work. I will be publishing a chapter per week on Saturdays, which can be viewed right here on redOrbit Blogs / Sci-Fi Saturday. I have always been interested in writing science fiction and this is a step toward realizing my dreams. I hope you enjoy this serial novel a chapter at a time!
Chapter XIII: Double Trouble
(June 9, 2020)
Cobi pulled his cruiser over near a small dirt road about a mile from the mart. He reached under the passenger side seat of the cruiser and pulled out a small black briefcase and threw it onto the seat. He fingered the combination buttons on the front of the case and after a few moments he heard a popping sound and the briefcase flung open.
Inside was a companion piece that Cobi had not used in years. He pulled out the small black box and pushed a button on the underside. He watched and waited as the defunct communicator came to life. He knew that by using the instrument too long it might gain the attention of the council in the future. He had to take his chances though.
Using the box, Cobi scanned the area waiting for a unique signature to pop up on the display. As a pro jumper, Cobi had become one of the few individuals to retain control of a master communicator that not only showed signs of nearby life, but signs of individuals that are of future origin. So, it should easily detect Jazz once she comes within distance of the box.
Cobi knew she would most likely use the old dirt road to keep away from the prying eyes of the law. He knew this not because he was a now-seasoned officer, but because jumpers knew how best to avoid being seen.
He waited for the sign.
(June 7, 2020)
Jazz followed Jack out of the woods to his car that had been parked in a parking lot adjacent to the mart. At first she was cautious, not knowing if this would be the smartest idea; but then thought that it would be much safer than relying on the woods to keep her safe.
Jack opened the passenger door of the small compact car and waited for Jazz, who was still unsure. She looked intently at Jack and softly moved toward the car, not averting her stare. As she seated herself in the car, Jack closed the door and raced to the other side. Jazz looked at the timer on her small box: 14:50:25.
Jack stepped into the car and turned the key to the ignition. He leaned back in the seat and turned his attention to Jazz. "I live not far from here; about nine miles." Jack placed his hands on the steering wheel and returned his attention forward.
He slid the automatic shift into reverse and began backing out of the parking space. He stopped, slid the car into drive and commenced to the end of the parking lot.
Jazz hoped that this was the smartest thing to do. As a time jumper, there are many things that can go wrong. Being genetically splattered across the universe is the least of one's worries. Since Jack made the unintentional move to touch Jazz when she was arriving from her jump, he became a unique part of the time-space continuum. She now knew that since Jack was sent to an alternate future, then sent back to this present time (Jazz's past), anything that occurred within the time frame that he was gone is still ongoing.
As Jack continued to drive, Jazz went over the scenario in her head. Depending on how long Jack was gone from this time, would also depend on how long she would have to wait to get back home. She realized that there was a different her – in reality still the same her – now existing sometime in the future, albeit still the past.
As much as this didn't really make sense to Jazz, she knew that she needed an answer from Jack.
"Umm," she cleared her throat. "How long were you gone for?" She eyed Jack, who seemed shyer now than before.
"Uh, what do you mean?" Jack scratched his eyebrow and then looked at Jazz.
"When you got sucked into space… how long was you gone?"
"I don't know, maybe 36 hours or so. Why?" Jack looked nervously at Jazz.
Jazz shook her head. "Great, this is not going to work out how I had planned." She through her arms together and sunk her head down toward her chest.
"What won't work?" Jack asked nervously.
Jazz began to cry, but then stopped almost immediately and wiped a tear away from her eye. She looked up at Jack. "You won't believe me if I tell you."
Jack laughed out loud, trying to hide his extreme nervousness. "Umm, hello, I don't believe much of anything that has already happened, but it has happened. I am sure what you have to say won't be any stranger than what has already occurred." Jack's face grew reddened with anger. He moved from a nervous frame of mind to rage.
Jazz slumped in the seat. "I am sorry." She returned her head to her chest and wailed out in her sadness.
Jack slowed the car to a stop and pulled off to the side of the road. "Damn it, I am sorry. I didn't mean to get angry. I just don't know what to think." He reached over and put his hand on Jazz's shoulder and rubbed it. "Please don't cry. I want to hear what you have to say. I need to hear it. Please tell me."
Jazz quieted down and rubbed her eyes. She sniffled a few times and brought her head back up and looked at Jack. She tried to smile.
"There are now two of me in the past; two of me here in this time. I am here now with you, but another me is a few days in the future. However long you were gone for, allowed me to move forward into the future. But when you were sent back, I was here, today. The future me is now waiting for me to catch up so I can go home." Jazz opened up her box and showed it to Jack.
"This communicator tells me how long I have before the council in 2077 can send for me." She showed Jack the timer. "But because a future of me is more than 16 hours into the future, I have to catch up to that time before I can go home. Otherwise, my genetics will interfere with my future self during the time jump and I will basically become soup. And there is no cure for soup!"
Jack was horrified by the story. "I am so sorry." He looked ahead down the road. "I mean, it is my fault for touching you. This would never have happened if I wasn't trying to be helpful. But, how was I to know?"
"It's okay Jack, you didn't know. This is the fault of the council. They don't have time travel down to a science yet and there are still mistakes. But Asterim and his money and power made it happen, and now we have to pay for his shortcomings."
Jazz sighed as she slid the box into her lap. "The bad part is I don't know where my future self is. I do need to find myself in order to fix this. We have some time to think it over. Thanks for helping me, Jack."
(June 9, 2020)
Jazz stopped along the old dirt path and pulled out her communicator. She checked the distance. She still had about 2 miles to go to the flashpoint. However, she noticed a small blip on the screen about a mile ahead of her position. She waited to see if it would go away. After several seconds it did begin moving, but in her general direction. However, she had no choice but to move on and keep an eye on the road ahead.
Jazz moved into the trees and followed the dirt road along the edge of the woods. Keeping her on eye the box, she noticed the blip was now right on top of her. She stopped and ducked down in some bushes.
Cobi stopped along the roadside and checked the communicator. The box showed Jazz was right on top of his location. He also knew that if she was any kind of professional, she would know that someone was there as well. So he knew she was hiding.
"Jazz it's me, Cobi. Come out!"
Jazz stepped out from behind a bush and exposed herself to Cobi. "Cobi… How did you find me?"
Stay tune next week for Chapter XIV

Three labour unions at Air Canada Inc said Monday the preservation of pension funds ranks as one of the top priorities in their negotiations with the country's biggest airline.
In a joint statement, the Canadian Auto Workers union (CAW), the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said they wanted workers' defined benefit pension plans to remain unchanged.
"We will make the maintenance of the plan, including employer contributions that are the necessary consequence of past funding deferrals, a central priority during our coming collective bargaining with Air Canada," the groups said.
Defined benefit plans guarantee payments for retirees. The plans have become unpopular with employers, who have run into trouble trying to fund them and increasingly shifted to defined contribution plans that offer no payout guarantees.
The unions said Air Canada wants to cut pension benefits for existing employees and eliminate defined benefit plans for new employees.
Air Canada is currently in negotiation with five unions after their contracts expired earlier this year.
The CAW represents 3,800 customer service and sales agents across Canada at Air Canada. IAMAW's 12,300 members at the airline include mechanics, baggage handlers, cargo agents, clerical jobs, while CUPE represents more than 6,800 flight attendants.

A beautiful date from bassist Josh Abrams – a player who's lent his soulful talents to so many great Chicago sessions over the past decade or two – really coming into his own as a leader! Josh has this deeply spiritual approach to his instrument – a style that, back when he first started making waves in Chicago in the 90s, nobody else was really handling that well – a mode that goes back to older players like Malachi Favors, Larry Ridley, or even Bill Lee – all of whose 70s work would be a good comparison for Abrams' energy. Here, he really shows his rich vision, and unfolds some excellent original compositions – tunes that have an airy spirituality, and which are played beautifully with like-minded Chicagoans – a quartet with David Boykin on tenor, Jason Adasiewicz on vibes, and Frank Rosaly on drums. The vibes and bass are especially wonderful together – and titles include "Bottom Goes The Moon", "Unknown Known", "Settle Down", "Look Through It", and "Leavening". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Sabers handle Lakeland
Times-Shamrock Writer
Austin White took what the defense gave him.
Susquehanna's junior quarterback rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns and also threw for a score to lead the Sabers to a 28-7 win over Lakeland in a Division II-III crossover game Saturday at William Emminger Memorial Field.
"We did some things differently that we thought might work against this team with the defense they ran," Susquehanna coach Kyle Cook said. "Austin played really well. He read the ball and when he did keep it, he hung on to the ball and got to the outside and made plays."
The Sabers (2-3) received the opening kickoff and drove 73 yards in 12 plays, taking nearly six minutes off the clock. White capped the drive with a 1-yard sneak to give Susquehanna a 6-0 lead.
Lakeland (3-2) put together a long drive on its first possession, driving 75 yards in 10 plays. But the Chiefs fumbled at the goal line and Susquehanna recovered in the endzone.
"That was huge," Cook said. "Because in the past, we've given up a touchdown and the heads went down and I already saw it happening and then out of nowhere I see it's our ball and it just pumped up everything. It set the tone and got something going from the get-go."
The Sabers took possession on the 20 after the touchback and put together another long drive covering 10 plays. Brett Hepler scored on a 24-yard run to give Susquehanna a 14-0 lead after the 2-point conversion.
White then hit James Murnock for a 40-yard touchdown pass late in the first half to give the Sabers a 20-0 halftime lead.
"We practiced really focusing on the free safety," White said. "With their defense, it makes it hard to throw slants and anything over the middle but we looked to expose the free safety and make him decide what he was doing and it made my job easier when we saw what he was going to do."
Lakeland cut the lead to 20-7 in the third quarter on a 28-yard touchdown pass from Chet Anuszewski to Josh Natale. The Chiefs forced Susquehanna to punt on its next possession but the Sabers' defense responded and stopped Lakeland on fourth down. Four plays later, White scored on a 5-yard run.
"Their defense was open in the middle with the two linebackers and we felt like our guys could get a push up the middle and open holes for us and they did exactly that," White said.
Susquehanna's defense held for the remainder of the game, stopping Lakeland twice more on fourth down in the fourth quarter.
"We had a good plan coming in," Cook said. "We were around the ball, we attacked the ball. They had a couple of plays on us but nothing huge like we've been giving up. It kept our focus and we were excited. If you give up big plays the kids get down on themselves but we didn't have that and it really helped."

In 2013, share valuation was one of the more unique and controversial issues emerging from the eighth cycle of transfer pricing (TP) audits in India. Revenue authorities have alleged instances of grossly undervalued share investments made by multinational enterprises in their Indian associated enterprises (AEs) and have sought to make adjustments on such alleged under-valuations and have also imputed notional interest in the hands of the Indian AEs by re-characterising the deficit as loans purportedly advanced by the Indian AEs to their overseas parent companies.
There have been relatively high profile cases on the above where writ petitions have been filed before the Bombay High Court challenging the jurisdiction of the transfer pricing officer (TPO) to make TP adjustment on issue of shares. In addition, some aggrieved taxpayers have simultaneously filed their objections against the draft order with the dispute resolution panel (DRP) with regard to valuation/quantification issue. We have highlighted below the following points of contentions put forth by both parties.
l Whether TP provisions are applicable to capital transactions. Taxpayer had contended that the issue of shares as well as premium on shares, if any, are capital transactions and in the nature of capital receipts as per the provisions of Indian Income-tax Act, 1961, and TP provisions should not be applied to capital receipts, which are not taxable under the Act. The revenue authorities rejected this argument stating that the transaction of issue of shares to an AE would amount to an international transaction, relying on retrospective amendment to Section 92B of the Act, which includes, inter alia, capital financing transactions. Further, the revenue authorities, while quoting the meaning of the term international transaction under Section 92B which states that transactions having a bearing on the profits, income, losses or assets, argued that transaction of issue of shares has a bearing on the assets and, hence, is within TPOs jurisdiction to examine the arms length price (ALP).
l Basis of valuation. Taxpayer had contended that the valuation was in accordance with the exchange control norms (as they existed in 2009), which mandate that the issue price of shares should not be below the price determined under CCI guidelines. The revenue authorities had rejected this premise of valuation and stated that as per TP provisions, ALP must be determined using the most appropriate method under Section 92C(1).
l Re-characterisation of transactions. The revenue authorities have treated such undervaluation of the shares as loan

Chasing Rainbow, Am I?knowing that i have a weird online relationship or friendship or whatever it is, some friends try to tell me
to stop chasing rainbow..
since i am like hoping that
there's prince charming at the other side of the rainbow
of course, there were times when i think
they are right,
on my worst days, i start to think that only leprechaun
can find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
but i convince myself
... that all is well. All is going according to plan. Trust that there is a bigger picture. Trust that life is unfolding as it should.
that helps me think
there will always be happy endings
it's just about how i see the ending
that matters
Happy endings don't find themselves. Rainbows must be chased to know what is on the other side. If the result is not satisfactory, find a new rainbow.
our dreams are what motivate us. they give us direction and give us goals. trusting in the bigger picture and the external "masterplan" can be comforting and can give us the strength to endure while we wait for our dreams to come true.

but if you focus to much on the ending the journey, making the dream a reality can slip away. leprechauns don't find pots of gold ... they are the keepers of it. rather than trying to find the end of the rainbow to find the gold, try instead to catch a leprechaun!

keep your vision of prince charming on the other side of the rainbow. focus on him as a goal and work towards him. listen to yourself and your friends and make finding your prince a reality.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AT&T) - AT&T continues its mission to educate the public about texting while driving. As part of the "It Can Wait" movement, AT&T is taking the texting while driving simulator across the state to safely re-create the eyes-off-the-road and hands-off-the-wheel experience of texting while driving.
Closing out the year, AT&T's simulator made stops at two high schools in Springdale earlier this week and will be in Little Rock and Pine Bluff this Thursday and Friday.
The "It Can Wait" movement has one simple message: No text is worth dying for...It Can Wait. Since the beginning of the campaign, more than one million pledges have been logged, but it doesn't stop there. AT&T continues to reiterate its message and encourages the public to do the same and spread the message to friends and family.
On Thursday, AT&T and City Year representatives will be on-site to manage the simulator experience and capture pledges from J.A. Fair students.
And weather permitting Friday, Rogers resident Merry Dye, who is featured in AT&T's The Last Text documentary, will be present to share her story with Pine Bluff students, conveying first-hand the deadly effects of texting while driving.
