To grow into normal human beings, we need reference groups during childhood. Whether it's a church, a family or a circle of school friends, these points give one the ability to develop a solid, consistent identity. In the absence of such a social education, one turns inward for behavioral cues, creating a cracked-mirror personality that operates only within its own context of acceptability.
"The Brothers Bloom" is about people who grew up with no anchors to the world, and so they invented their own symmetrical, though warped, patterns of personal myth and identity. Unfortunately, when one establishes a world within the world, the construct is always rickety, and collapse is imminent.
The titular brothers are Stephen (Mark Ruffalo, "Blindness") and Bloom (Adrian Brody, "Cadillac Records"), a pair of orphans who, as children, carried their outsider mentality from foster home to foster home. Over time, the brothers developed a rather inverted strategy for dealing with whatever local populace they happen to be among: Elder Stephen writes out a confidence scam in a series of squares, creating an identity for the painfully shy Bloom in the process.
This has the twofold effect of freeing Bloom from his own self-doubt and eventually alienating the pair from their victims. This meets the siblings' short-term need for interaction and their long-term need to remain outside of society (that's where they wanna be).
Fast-forward 25 years. Stephen and Bloom have continued the same pattern of bait, switch and move into their 30s. They crossed out of the Unites States long ago, attending con man grad school in St. Petersburg with a Fagin-type figure named Diamond Dog (Maximilian Schell, "Deep Impact"). For their thesis, Stephen took out one of Diamond Dog's eyes.
While Stephen is highly pleased with his career and reputation, Bloom grows increasingly depressed. As the contact man in their cons, Bloom feels he has been playing parts written by Stephen his whole life, which has prevented him from developing a core personality and a strong sense of what's "real." Bloom hides from Stephen in Montenegro, but Stephen, with the help of his "personal secretary and private masseuse," Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi, "Babel"), Stephen tracks him down and talks him into one more job.
The mark is another orphan, Penelope Stamp (Rachel Weisz, "Definitely, Maybe"). When her parents died, she inherited a massive estate in New Jersey and an undisclosed personal fortune. Left on her own, Penelope has become socially awkward, spending all her time "collecting hobbies." Stephen comes up with a plan and throws " literally " Bloom into contact with her.
The plan involves Penelope coming with the group to Europe, where they meet a mysterious Belgian called The Curator (Robbie Coltrane, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"). The con involves smuggling an ancient prayer book out of Prague to shady Argentineans in Mexico, with many stops along the way. Penelope is fleeced out of a million dollars, and Bloom breaks the No. 1 rule in the con game: Don't fall for the mark.
It's difficult to understand, much less map, all the twists and turns taken by the plot, but it goes on well after the initial story arc has resolved itself. The point seems to be that trying to impose symmetry on a decidedly asymmetrical world is a noble goal, but it rarely works out the way you want it to.
The players have all adopted as their couture of exclusion the trappings of Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp, sporting dark suits, striped ties and bowler hats. This peculiar stylization, along with the rampant personality quirks, lends a wacky Wes Anderson-esque hipster vibe, which is expanded by the larger-than-life Continental personalities of The Curator and Diamond Dog.
Thematically, "The Brothers Bloom" is less hip, seeming to borrow equally from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" and "Slumdog Millionaire" in the way it addresses the nature of con artists and brotherly love.
Overall, the story is a bit messy, and the form reflects a bit too closely the theme of confusion and uncertainty about what's really going on and who's really doing what. On the other hand, Brody, Ruffalo, Weisz and Kikuchi create an entertaining chemistry, and there are plenty of funny parts.
But when things get serious at the end, the intended impact just isn't there. Everyone spent so much time doing card tricks and making offbeat observations during the rest of the movie that when reality comes crashing down, it seems more like the characters deserve it than like a tragedy.

National Briefing | New England: Massachusetts: $5.1 Million Death Settlement
By Pam Belluck (NYT)
Published: May 3, 2005
The City of Boston paid $5.1 million to the family of a 21-year-old college student who was killed last October when she was struck in the eye with a pepper-spray pellet. The pellet was fired by police officers trying to control a chaotic crowd celebrating the American League pennant victory of the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees. The payment, to the parents of Victoria Snelgrove, a student at Emerson College, is apparently the largest wrongful death settlement ever made by the city. Police Commissioner Kathleen O'Toole said the police investigation had found that Ms. Snelgrove ''was not the target of any police action nor was she engaged in any activity that would have led police to think that she was behaving unlawfully.'' She also announced that Deputy Police Superintendent Robert E. O'Toole, who was in charge of operations in the area the night of the riot and fired one of the pellet guns, would retire from the police force after 37 years of service. The commissioner and the deputy superintendent are not related. Pam Belluck (NYT)

4. Batman Returns
Released: 1994
Box office gross: $162.8 million
Tim Burton was behind this one, which gives you a sense of where this dark Christmastime tale is heading.
It starts with Paul Reubens and Diane Salinger marking their Christmas newborn's birth by throwing their baby boy into the sewer, descends into a tree-lighting ceremony that ends in an all-out attack on Gotham City and turns penguins into rocket-launching instruments of destruction. Jesse Hassenger of The Onion's A.V. Club goes into greater detail about the film's foray into holiday loneliness, but the only thing that depresses fan is that this film ended the Tim Burton era and was the last time the series would eschew all-out marketeering for filmmaking until Christopher Nolan took control of the franchise.
It was also the first time the series began its habit of shoehorning way too many villains into the mix. Danny DeVito makes a surprisingly apt and incredibly dark Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer still seems more comfortable in the Catwoman role than either Anne Hathaway or Halle Berry, but Christopher Walken's department store tycoon Max Shreck feels like an unnecessary middleman.
Still, this is about as close to a work of art as the Batman series came and seems like an unlikely criticism of crass commercialism given the film-to-store formula of the movies that followed. Meanwhile, look at The Nightmare Before Christmas that Burton made immediately thereafter to get some sense of how the millionaire bat put him in the holiday spirit.

I'm feeling somewhat lethargic about typing out the 5Ws related to this one so allow the press release to be the guide.
"Entrepreneur and musician, Dom Kennedy will release his seventh studio album Get Home Safely on October 15th via his own imprint The Other People's Money Company with a digital pre-order set for October 1st. The completely independent album will feature the recently released lead video, "South Central Love."
"The 16-track opus is largely produced by the Los Angeles based production duo, The Futuristiks, who have collaborated with Kennedy on past releases, and DJ and frequent collaborator DrewByrd as well as additional production from 1500 or Nothin' and the legendary DJ Khalil. In addition to featured verses from Nipsey Hussle, Krondon and Los Angeles emcee Skeme, Get Home Safely also features vocals from TeeFlii. Get Home Safely follows last year's free online release, The Yellow Album, which spawned the radio single "My Type Of Party." This release, however, will be sold at digital retailers beginning with a pre-order on October 1st and is also Kennedy's first album to be sold at the major retailer, Best Buy."
The reason I saved my energy was to tie in LA Weekly's recent coverage of Dom where they discuss his ability to wear two hats: one as artist, the other as businessman. The situation isn't uncommon by any means, as many artists have to take on dual (and really more) roles to support their careers as independents.
What impressed me the most was the reminder that Dom's only had one album go to retail — 2011's From the Westside, With Love II — and the only reason he charged for it was to help put cash in his pocket since he had a seed on the way. The other five projects he's released in the past four years? All free mostly because Dom just wanted to rhyme. As he puts it, "I never wanted nothing from rap up until now. That's how naive but how pure my vision and my heart was for what I'm doing." In order to do that, he admits to making sacrifices along the lines of living with family, resorting to pushing a bike to the studio because his license was suspended and dining on the best dollar menu values he could find.
Get Home Safely will be available at Best Buy, which sounds commonplace, until we're again reminded that Dom's indie and Best Buy is about as corporate as company can get. The fact that Dom and his manager and OPM parter Archie Davis were able to get the album on the retail behemoth's store shelves is nothing short of admirable, a testament to their ability to wear those different caps and do so successfully. They're not the first to do it, but they're definitely one of the select few we've been able to follow closely so there's a lot of "Get a load of this guy. Go, Dom, go!" as we watch their story continue to develop.
With those things said, GHS goes to stores on October 15th. Check the tracklist below.

I have been hearing this a lot lately: "People don't like change."
I get it but here is my question. If we know that there is a better way of doing something, and we have to change our past practice to make it better, is it that people do not like change or the work that change encompasses?
Change for change sake is not good enough. Change to make something better is the goal. If what we are doing now is the best way of doing things, then there is no reason to change. But, if we know something is better and serving our students in a way that is needed, is change the true barrier?
Is it that people really don't like change or is it truly that people do not like the process that change incurs?
What are your thoughts? I hope this can spark some discussion and I can learn from others.

How to avoid the coming patent translation bottleneck
Many view the AIA Treaty as negative to patent law, and rushed to file as many patents as possible before the new treaty took effect
The state of patent trolls in 2015
When it comes to smothering inventions, no one does it better than patent trolls, also known as "patent assertion entities," "non-practicing entities," or "non-manufacturing entities." Whatever the name, these parasites feed off the work of legitimate manufacturing companies that strive to create products and American jobs.
Kaye Scholer team achieves PTAB victory for Olympus
Kaye Scholer IP partner Deborah Fishman and counsel Katie Scott were part of the team that recently secured a victory for Olympus America Inc. before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
Leading Brands intros the filing of patent applications in the US and Canada for its new Waterbox
With 85 percent less plastic than conventional bottled water, the WaterBox improves the way consumers can integrate water into their everyday lives
Clean tech construction, part one: Building intellectual property walls
Clean tech, or green construction, is generally defined as construction that reduces or minimizes the environmental impact in building construction, operation and use. Although those in the construction industry often think of copyrights to protect build-out drawings, floor plans and the like, other types of intellectual property are often overlooked....
Eli Lilly wins European patent case
This ruling reverses a decision made by the English High Court last year and will likely protect Eli Lilly's monopoly on the sales of Alimta until 2021.
Kimble v. Marvel ruling does not bring about many changes on licenses
"Today's ruling simply means business as usual, although it may encourage parties to be even more creative in negotiating patent licenses going forward, especially with breakthrough technology," attorney Jeanne Gills said.
Patent trolls may find it harder to hire competent attorneys
"Special interests, including Google, Cisco, Apple, Intel and Microsoft, have created such prejudice against the individual inventor and the small companies they create (calling them 'patent trolls' and worse) that they simply can no longer be successfully represented," attorney Raymond P. Niro said.
BlackBerry, Cisco ink patent licensing deal
As part of its efforts to turn things around, BlackBerry has announced a new cross-licensing deal with Cisco.

The NY Times has a color piece of Scrabulous below the fold on the front page of their physical paper today. I admit, I like to read my Sunday NY Times in physical format – call me a luddite!
The Aggarwallas have really done a great job of building a true social game, but it is not looking like they will be able to reap all the benefits of their work due to their IP infringement.
Harold Zeitz, senior vice president for games at RealNetworks, said Friday that he was working closely with the Agarwalla brothers to bring the official Scrabble game to Facebook users.
Hasbro, meanwhile, said in a statement that Electronic Arts was planning to release an online version of Scrabble this spring. And Mattel, which signed a deal with RealNetworks last July, says that settling with the Agarwallas would set a bad precedent.
Last year Andrew Bridges did a guest post on the Lightspeed blog about how big companies use litigation as a strategy against startups that is highly relevant to the Scrabulous situation.

SxSW Keynote Nate Silver: Opinions from the Obama-win Predicting Mastermind
We skipped lunch on Sunday to watch number crunching phenom Nate Silver share his perspective about the accuracy of measuring just about anything, and more specifically, his opinions on polling tactics post 2008 election. Having foregone morning coffee in order to hit the ground running (here's the reason why), we popped into the Circus Mashimus lounge to grab some (free!) coffee and chocolate chip cookies and to chat with developer Oren Michaels, who set up the lounge so developers could come and connect.
For those of you who are unaware (because someone at the talk actually asked), Nate Silver is the Obama-win predicting mastermind behind fivethirtyeight.com, which takes it's name from the number of electoral votes available (it'll become 539 when DC gets a vote - 539.com has already been registered by someone in Taiwan, that's the kind of enterprising age we're in).
Interviewed by Business Week's Stephen Baker, Silver covered everything from sports to politics to the Oscars, to teen texting habits ("The average 15-year-old girl today sends about 2300 text messages per month") to the economy to last year's election - his greatest success thus far. He spent the bulk of his time covering polling (the room was filled people wanting to learn how to predict things) and expressed his frustration with mainstream news sites' lack of accountability and emphasis on subjectivity: "A poorly executed objective analysis is often far worse than a perfectly executed subjective analysis." My favorite Silver swipe at the already established order of ordering was, "If you know you're going to be wrong, keep working on your [redacted] model." Which is interesting considering he mispredicted the Oscars.
One of the most amazing things about the Nate Silver talk was that Marilyn Martin and Sunni Brown were making graphic interpretations of his talk because there weren't already enough documentations of the happenings at SXSW already. The fact that pencils and paper were added to the coterie of documentation tools at the most high tech convergence in the country was heartwarming, giving new meaning to the term "intellectual illumination."

The other view on MINI
In about 16600 seconds the next MINIvideo will be played on www.theotherview.co.uk (counting from now, September 28th at 11.20 am CET). The exclusive, weird and, let me say, brave teaser campaign launched by Profero to promote the Clubman model to be launched next November, consists of a series of 15 second videos that look at things from a different perspective.
The catch is, they will be releasing one video per week for 6 weeks, and the video will be so exclusive, it will only be available for 1 minute a week. The time is judged by the clock on your computer so for the launch, when the users clock turns 3pm GMT (tomorrow's time for example) the video will automatically start playing. If a user comes in 3 seconds into the sequence then they will see the video 3 seconds in. There is a counter on the site that counts back in seconds to when the doors will open.
The whole thing looks quite crazy, and I must say that expecting visitors to check back a site on such a precise timing is quite too brave for my careful marketing attitude… let's wait and see who's right!

NFL Mock Draft 2014: Smart Strategies for Every NFL TeamApril 22, 2014
The NFL has tortured fans with a longer wait to this year's NFL draft. Instead of rewarding college football stars cushy new jobs in April, the speculation period drags on until May.
A longer lull until draft day means one thing for football fanatics twiddling their thumbs until May 8: more mock drafts.
For the scouting junkies out there, that just gives them more time to party. For those worn out by pre-draft coverage (you've sought out a mock draft, so that must not be you), it's time to start the show.
This draft should prove well worth the wait. Several prospects are making a case for No. 1 selection, and several teams picking early are threatening to eschew the quarterback slot until after Round 1. One of 2014's top signal-callers could be sitting around for a while.
But don't go overboard anticipating one of the premier passers slipping past the first round altogether. In this latest mock draft, the top three remain top-10 picks, although one falls further than he deserves.
1. Houston Texans: Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
Is talent more important than need? The Texans have a hole at quarterback, but they won't be able to resist Jadeveon Clowney's game-changing talent on the defensive line. Is defensive end a huge need for Houston? Not really. Is Clowney the best fit in its 3-4 scheme? Probably not.
Yet he's a freakish specimen who will cause the Texans to take him anyway.
2. St. Louis Rams (via Washington): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
Sammy Watkins is one of the hardest premier players to peg a landing spot for, as he could go to any team picking from Nos. 2-5. If he somehow falls past those four squads, which is unlikely, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will certainly stop the bleeding at No. 7.
The Rams could also take an offensive lineman or trade down from the No. 2 slot, but their uninspiring offense can use Watkins' jolt of speed to wake them up.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Khalil Mack, LB, Buffalo
Months ago, Khalil Mack was vying for top-10 consideration. Now he's a top-five probable with a good chance of going No. 3, perhaps even No. 1. Monday Morning Quarterback's Peter King heard through the grapevine that Texans general manager Rick Smith prefers the Buffalo linebacker to Clowney.
"Houston, at No. 1, isn't set on Jadeveon Clowney," King wrote on Tuesday. "In fact, one FORS (Friend of Rick Smith) told me the Texans general manager likes Khalil Mack over Clowney."
First of all, why did King bother writing "FORS" when he'd of course have to elaborate that acronym's meaning? More on topic, this could be a bit of misdirection, and there's no guarantee everyone else in Houston's front office shares that opinion, which is why Clowney remains my No. 1.
But don't feel sorry for Mack, as Jacksonville is in prime position to grab whichever one falls to No. 3.
4. Cleveland Browns: Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Cleveland could continue to give quarterbacks the cold shoulder and instead hire protection for whomever they eventually secure to take snaps under center. But the Browns haven't had much luck at quarterback since Bernie Kosar, so they'll solicit a remedy in the ever-polarizing playmaker, Johnny Manziel.
5. Oakland Raiders: Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida
While the Raiders could hold down the fort with Matt Schaub, they'll roll the dice on Blake Bortles living up to his powerful arm and athleticism after a strong junior season at UCF. He's certainly not the safest option around, but since when do the Raiders ever play it safe?
6. Atlanta Falcons: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
The Falcons have their choice of Jake Matthews or Greg Robinson to protect Matt Ryan for the next decade. While many teams would turn to Robinson's untapped potential, Matthews offers a more stable product for a squad that came a few plays away from making the Super Bowl two seasons ago.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
Vincent Jackson's name gets thrown around a lot, often as an Evans comparison (including the video above), but the wideout has his sights set even higher. According to Times Online's Ron Musselman (subscription required), via Sports Illustrated's Josh Sanchez, he models himself after one of the game's fiercest pass-catchers.
"I get a lot of Vincent Jackson comparisons, and that's a great comparison," Evans said. "But I think Brandon Marshall. He's vicious after the catch. A big, physical guy, can go up and get it, blocks real well. So I've modeled my game after him since high school."
Well this is awkward. Evans is going to line up alongside Jackson in Tampa Bay to give the Buccaneers two immense receivers.
8. Minnesota Vikings: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
The big loser of the prolonged draft period, bashing Teddy Bridgewater became the fun thing to do to fill the news cycle for a day of two. He, undeservingly, falls outside the top five, but his loss is Minnesota's gain.
The Vikings should have learned from Christian Ponder not to reach for any quarterback, but Bridgewater is the real deal and someone who can immediately improve their organization.
9. Buffalo Bills: Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn
Buffalo has built its backbone on running the ball, so taking Robinson here is a no-brainer. Not only is the powerful tackle the best player on the board, he also addresses a critical area of need for the Bills.
10. Detroit Lions: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
One of the most popular thoughts of the draft has been "Wouldn't it be so much fun if Detroit traded up to draft Watkins or Evans?" Sure, that would look great on paper, but the Lions should be much more concerned about stopping opposing teams' wideouts.
Already the No. 3 passing offense without a legitimate No. 2 receiver, the Lions can bolster their No. 23 passing defense with Justin Gilbert.
11. Tennessee Titans: Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
The Vikings were a possible landing spot for Anthony Barr until Bridgewater fell in their laps. Now the Titans can enjoy the runaway pass-rushing freight train outside the top 10, giving their defense a vicious attacker off the edge.
12. New York Giants: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
Quite a few teams would relish the chance to utilize Eric Ebron's unique skills at tight end.
He might not make it to the Giants, but he does here, giving Eli Manning a big-bodied receiver to complement the elusive Victor Cruz. Since Ebron cannot follow in Tony Gonzalez's and Jimmy Graham's footsteps and dunk through the goal post, perhaps the big man can salsa dance instead.
13. St. Louis Rams: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
St. Louis will again shift the passing game in its favor by selecting Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to roam its secondary. Securing Watkins and Clinton-Dix secures two of its biggest needs as the Rams attempt to gain ground on their NFC West cohorts.
14. Chicago Bears: Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State
Hey, remember that time the Bears yielded 289 rushing yards to the Philadelphia Eagles with a playoff berth on the line? Those frightening memories will sway them toward a no-nonsense nose tackle in Florida State's Timmy Jernigan.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
If the Steelers are smart, they'll add some youth to their secondary before the veteran-laden unit bottoms out. Darqueze Dennard, who excels in press coverage, is the perfect cornerback to usher Pittsburgh's defense into a new era.
16. Dallas Cowboys: Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh
Much quicker on his feet than the standard tackle, Aaron Donald is an intriguing prospect who has endeared himself to many scouts during the pre-draft stage. Owning the league's worst defense that just lost DeMarcus Ware, the Cowboys will gamble on the Pittsburgh product in hopes of scoring a steal.
17. Baltimore Ravens: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
Last year, Joe Flacco was not afforded the same protection he received during his Super Bowl season. Although Michael Oher receives more credit than he deserves due to The Blind Side, the Ravens still need to replace him in the trenches.
18. New York Jets: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
Darqueze Dennard would fit perfectly with Gang Green, but he unfortunately caught Pittsburgh's eye as well three picks earlier. Although the Jets won't locate the bruising cornerback Rex Ryan adores so much, they'll get the next best thing in Calvin Pryor, a vicious safety who will force all ball-carriers to sleep with one eye open.
19. Miami Dolphins: Zack Martin, OT/OG, Notre Dame
Why would the Dolphins not pick a sturdy, reliable and versatile offensive lineman after leading the league in sacks surrendered and becoming the brunt of a bullying scandal? Zack Martin started every game in each of his four years at Notre Dame, which gives Miami a guy to slot anywhere across the line without any worries.
20. Arizona Cardinals: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
He can play physically and employ great closing speed to keep up with wideouts, but Jason Verrett can't magically raise his height by five inches. The Cardinals look past his size and see him for the stout corner he is.
If smaller, stud slot receivers can receive proper recognition, why can't a defensive back, who at the very least can shut those guys down?
21. Green Bay Packers: C.J. Mosley, LB, Alabama
Safety is Green Bay's real area of need, but the Packers missed out on both Clinton-Dix and Pryor, forcing them to instead identify a value in Alabama's C.J. Mosley. After allowing 4.6 yards per carry last year, fans should welcome Mosley's stout tackling ability across the field.
22. Philadelphia Eagles: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
Philadelphia's brief search for a DeSean Jackson replacement ends with Brandin Cooks, who can fill Jackson's role in Chip Kelly's uptempo offense. With LeSean McCoy, Darren Sproles, Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin all warranting attention, Cooks will churn out plenty of huge plays for the Eagles.
23. Kansas City Chiefs: Marqise Lee, WR, USC
If Marqise Lee switched his 2012 and 2013 performances, he'd instead be tabbed the class' third-best receiver and a top-15 pick candidate. But teams care more about recent play than the full picture, so his 118 catches from 2012 will take a back seat to his 57-reception letdown to conclude his USC tenure.
In need of another playmaker for Alex Smith, the Chiefs take the plunge on Lee solidifying last season as the fluke and becoming a regular in Kansas City.
24. Cincinnati Bengals: Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri
Cincinnati slides all its chips to the center with Kony Ealy, an explosive rusher who could become a 15-sack monster or a cautionary tale. Opinions are split bout the Missouri youngster, but don't expect him to slip past Round 1.
25. San Diego Chargers: Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
CBS Sports' Pete Prisco doesn't think anyone should sleep on Bradley Roby, who has gotten lost in the overflowing sea of talent jousting for first-round consideration.
Roby to the Chargers at No. 25 isn't the lofty pick Prisco predicted, but San Diego will love to see him there to bolster a deflated secondary that often spurred shootouts in 2013.
26. Cleveland Browns (via Indianapolis): Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
Keeping the cornerback run going, the Browns grab Kyle Fuller at No. 26. Already a top-10 passing defense, the Browns develop a scary secondary by pairing the Virginia Tech standout with Joe Haden.
27. New Orleans Saints: Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota
The Saints are frequently linked to pass-rushing defensive ends or linebackers such as Ealy, Dee Ford and Ryan Shazier, but a run-stopper could help Rob Ryan's unit vault into elite territory. Ra'Shede Hageman is far from a polished prospect, but his ceiling justifies the gamble at No. 27.
28. Carolina Panthers: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU
B/R's Matt Miller would not approve of Odell Beckham Jr. falling behind Lee in these proceedings.
Carolina needs someone to catch the ball and maybe even gain some yards with said football if the team is feeling really greedy. Beckham has enough speed, strength and verticality to become a top target for Cam Newton.
29. New England Patriots: Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech
A perfect blend of team and player personnel, the Patriots would make a monster tight end out of Jace Amaro regardless of whether Rob Gronkowski also graces them with his presence throughout the 2014 season. Amaro is strong and speedy enough to become a matchup nightmare
30. San Francisco 49ers: Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
Recent developments around Aldon Smith cause San Francisco to go off script and obtain a Plan B in Ryan Shazier, another dangerous pass-rusher with blazing speed off the edge. This late in the first round, the 49ers can take a risk even if they don't need him to immediately deliver.
31. Denver Broncos: Xavier Su'a-Filo, OG, UCLA
Needing a guard to replace the departed Zane Beadles, Denver claims Xavier Su'a-Filo with the penultimate first-round pick. Not the headline-grabbing choice to match their mega free-agency splurge, but shielding their 38-year-old quarterback should be the Broncos' top concern.
32. Seattle Seahawks: Dee Ford, DE/OLB, Auburn
There's no clear choice here for Seattle, who could have used Su'a-Filo or taken a chance on Hageman to conclude Round 1. They'll turn to Dee Ford, who can rush the quarterback but doesn't offer much in between. Considering his promise to wreak havoc on the line, the Super Bowl champs give him a shot.

Urban: Unimpressive.
Urban: Unimpressive.
"...each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." - Mitch Albom, one helluva writer.
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one that yelps!
I liked Tim tonight, too! At least he has a strong voice, regardless of what Ellen is saying.
Oh no, I LOVE this song. I'm just sick. He's just not good. I gave him a break last week because I felt sorry for him and thought maybe it was just nerves, but he's really not good enough for this competition.
I liked Tim. Sang it well from my living room And he is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute!!!!!!!!!!
I feel old because I just checked to make sure Tim Urban is legal so I wouldn't feel creepy.
.. Also, count me in on the "That wasn't so bad" train.
You've been Philiminated.
what the heck is Toddrick wearing? He should take a few notes from Ne-Yo or something...
Tim wasn't too bad considering. He is cute too ;-) I think he'll be safe....
So far Big Mike and Alex... lets see what Lee can do. My friend's nieces went to HS with him so I must cheer!
"To err is human, to arr is a pirate"
lol! He is kind of cute!!! Not sexy, just "hello there" cute!Originally Posted by HurriKaty;3845893;
"To err is human, to arr is a pirate"
Say what you will about Tim Urban. He is stealing teenage girls' hearts all over the place! I have a group of teenage girls over here and they became downright giddy when he flashed that smile. Fingers are poised and ready to text! Unbelievable.
I agree with Ellen's critique--Toddrick's song choice was too outdated.

NVIDIA HAS BEEN mightily cheesed off with some of the coverage of Nforce 2 that has appeared on the INQ before. Now there're another couple of problems that have surfaced. These aren't Nvidia's problems directly; they're problems with Abit and Asus. Nvidia is a very sharp company and doesn't like its partners reflecting badly on it either. It seems that both Abit and Asus have problems with their Silicon Image SATA RAID controller. More than that, Asus is proving less than capable at getting 400MHz FSB Athlons to work on its Nforce 2 motherboards despite Abit having managed the feat with a simple BIOS upgrade.
The RAID problem was brought to our attention by some readers who had found that trying to use a SATA RAID 0 set up is a real no go. Both the Asus and Abit implementations cause severe data corruption according to several readers. It's that nasty that they have complained that even Windows stops booting after just 5 or 6 boots.

Report: Reduce payment in boot camp death
The parents of Martin Lee Anderson should get $2.3-million from the state, not $5-million, the special masters who reviewed the case have recommended. Their report was just released.
Lawyers who reviewed the case for the House and Senate determined that actions of the Bay County boot camp guards and nurse "preclude a finding of state liability," but that the Department of Juvenile Justice had a general duty of care and should have known the camp was unsafe based on incident reports and that a DJJ worker "should have seen inappropriate ammonia use." Thus DJJ should have known that "deputies were inappropriately using force against juveniles."
Guards forced ammonia capsules in the 14-year-old boy's face and used other force that obstructed his breathing, experts say. Anderson died last January. Gov. Charlie Crist has urged the Legislature to pay a $5-million claims bill.

Hey, this is a complete copy of the other version of 'Im Good Now' on
this site, except it is so, so much simpler to understand. Props though
to that author for the chords n lyrics. Just play the chord line given
for the paragraph below it. The intro chords given are to substitute
for the riff in the other tab version, I can't play the riff and sing it.
Em G5 A5 (X2)
Em G5 A5 (X8)
there was this time in west virginia
when the cops showed up, when the shop blowed up
where we didn't know what was gonna happen
they messed the whole place up and tried to kill my dad
took all the money i had and what was really bad
was i couldnt do nothing to stop em
C ~ ~ D7 ~ ~ Em ~ ~ C ~ ~
had to move to mexico to get away
you reap the seeds you sow or so they say
i spent most my nights hanging out at a place called the rainbow bar
G - D - C - G - Em - C - D - - (X2)
drink cervezas all night long, singing mexican love songs
getting all the words all wrong and not giving a damn
hoping that my luck might change, feeling crazy, acting strange
never worrying about the danger i was in
Em - C - G - D - (X4) C ~ ~ ~ ~
well ive had a might bad run of luck since you left this town
sometimes you hit the brakes but you cant slow down
i know what i want on my damn tombstone when they put me in the ground
tell them to write it big and tall or not at all
G - D - Em - C (X3) G - D - G - -
just put im good now,
im good now,
im good now,
oh im good now.
Em G5 A5 (X4)
Em G5 A5 (X8)
well as the story goes things only got worse
fell in love with a nurse she smuggled drugs in her purse
she worked for doctor gonzales
well it turns out the doctor was a mighty mean man
who couldnt understand how things could get out of hand
i guess he's gonna find out though
C ~ ~ D7 ~ ~ Em ~ ~ C ~ ~
he tried to stop her one night well she pulled out a knife
there was a struggle and then he fell there in the end
as she ran home he lay on the floor dying
G - D - C - G - Em - C - D - - (X2)
wondering about the things he'd done thinking about his life and the fun he'd had
choices that he made and roads he had taken
and he thought about his kids and all the crazy things he did
and he wondered if anything at all really matters
Em - C - G - D - (X4) C ~ ~ ~ ~
when your life is almost over and theres no hope to be found
when your dying and the blood is spilling out over the ground
and the last words he said, though he hardly made a sound
and he spoke each word in spanish cause he couldnt speak no english
G - D - Em - C (X3) G - D - G
he said im good now,
im good now,
im good now,
oh im good now.
When I submitted this the damn UG site cut some things off... the the sections that have the chords listed:
G – D – C – G – Em – C –
It should be:
G - D - C - G - Em - C - D - - (x2)
Also, for the "I'm good now" part, the chords should read:
G – D – Em – C (X3) G – D - G ~
G – D – Em – C (X3) G – D –
And stupid ****ing UG's programming is turning dashes (hyphens) into boxes for some reason

By AWR Hawkins
Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- During a December 4th 2013 press conference Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) referred to pro-gun Senators as "gun control Darwinists" who "totally [misread] the NRA's power."
He said he plans to spend the next two weeks trying to "shame [them] into taking another look at [the] issue."
According to The Daily Beast, Murphy said Republicans who resisted more gun control "really believe that the best way to get guns out of the hands of criminals is to put guns into the hands of both good guys and bad guys." He said this is the "ethic" that underlies "Stand Your Ground" laws and opposes expanded background checks.
Murphy said the majority of Americans in both parties want more gun control, but are hindered by a misunderstanding of the NRA's power. He said the NRA is comprised of "paper tigers."
Last week, CNN reported that there has been a 23 percent increase in opposition to gun control since January and that a majority of Americans no longer support gun control.
On August 5th I reported that Murphy said, "The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God-given right." He said it is a right that comes with conditions.

T.C. Maslin: One suspect on trial for beating Capitol Hill man
A man accused of beating a Capitol Hill man at Eastern Market went on trial this week.
The savage Aug. 18 attack left young father T.C. Maslin with severe brain injuries.
On trial is Tommy Branch. Sunny Kutti and Michael Moore are also accused in connection with the incident.
Maslin was struck with a BB gun, punched to the ground and robbed of his credit card and cell phone, according to court papers. The three suspects are also accused of robbing two other men in a separate neighborhood hours after attacking Maslin, who was assaulted while on his way home from a bar after attending a Washington Nationals game with friends.
While the man charged with inflicting those wounds sat nonchalantly listening, the neurosurgeon who treated Maslin described the damage: A lacerated brain, shattered skull and deep coma. These are the type of injuries which will likely leave Maslin permanently disabled.
Prosecutors maintain of the three men charged with robbing and beating Maslin, as he headed home on foot, Branch is the one who inflicted the devastating injuries.
Branch's defense rests on two points: Investigators never found the baseball bat which they believe Branch used and raising doubts about the witness who implicated Branch in the attack.
Meanwhile, it has yet to be seen if Maslin, who had difficulty speaking after the attack, will be called to testify about the assault.

front brake arguments
Posted 08 September 2003 - 01:58 PM
and i got into a argument with front calipers
cause of the stupid gotta turn the piston in
do they actually make a tool to fit those notches?
if not anyone got a sketch of something i can make to do the job ?
or do i just beat it against my forehead and hope they go in?
Posted 08 September 2003 - 02:00 PM
if its an old crusty caliper, you can use a channel lock plier to get the first or second turn, as it will free up as you turn it
make sure the parking brake is off when you bleed the caliper
if its rear disc, then you dint need to turn the piston, just push it in, because there is no parking brake mechanism on the rear
the parking brake mechanism on the front is why the pistons turn in rather than push in

around here you go to the parts counter and tell them you need parts for an 84 4x4 subaru, they are like
"it's not listed, what kind of truck was that?"
hell, you have to order away for intake gaskets!
its not worth the hassle for me in my opinion, they wouldnt have it in stock
but that's here in redneck central
"one of those foreign jobbers"
Posted 08 September 2003 - 02:35 PM
is there a specific name for the turn in tool?
or is it just a brake piston turner doohicky?
and well i don't smoke
i just drink
and a bottle of ever clear lasts me about 2 weeks at about a shot a day for breakfast before bed

They must be turned in.
The 4 buck 6-way cube is the way to go.
Keep in mind that returning the piston to the bottom of the cylinder will force fluid back to the master. If you've been topping it off, be ready for a mess.
Posted 09 September 2003 - 10:09 PM
i've tried pliers, and they work fine, but using the special tool made the job many times easier and faster.
sometimes, special tools = lots of $$, but also remember, special tools = less kicking the car.

The battle still rages on for the win in this seemingly endless competition between Apple and Google, AT&T and Verizon, and the iPhone and Android. Yet this is a great time for application developers and mobile advertisers to take advantage of the growing and dynamic mobile OS environments.
The debate over which major features are superior for each phone is a hot topic today.
PC World stated, "If you want a mobile device that takes full advantage of Web connectivity, applications, and personal media that you can also use for business connectivity such as e-mail and calendaring, get the iPhone, even with the inferiority of AT&T's 3G network."
However, many believe that the Droid Eris has a much better UI design, including a weather and time widget on the home screen, integrated platform to access messages, and a mail-preview widget. It also comes with high-quality programs that are becoming more and more superior to those of the iPhone. This smartphone also is much more communication-oriented by allowing users to manager their contacts across multiple communication channels, including messages and e-mails.
In terms of usability, the iPhone seems to be superior, with ease-of-use features including a quick-delete function, capabilities to add Web pages to the home screen, and a copy and cut feature. However, the iPhone falls short in terms of being able to run multiple apps at the same time, reducing its multi-tasking abilities that the Android has.
The application market for both of these phones is quite intense. Whereas Apple is more lenient with approving applications to go into the market, Google tends to be more reserved.
A report by Computer World stated, "Google seems to be more flexible with what kinds of applications they allow… Apple has too much stuff that shouldn't be in the store and unevenness regarding what is allowed."
There are about 185,000 iPhone applications currently, and more iPhone users are willing to buy these applications than Android consumers (50% and 21% respectively). A report by GigaOM stated that Apple's iPhone has $200 million in revenue from applications every month, whereas the Android market has about $5 million per month. Top apps for the iPhone include Tweetie 2, Yelp, Slacker, Mint, and Sling Player Mobile, as reported by Time
"Two billion downloads and counting — that pretty much says it all about the wealth of available iPhone apps. No device comes anywhere close to the iPhone regarding the variety of third-party apps, and Apple keeps enhancing what apps can do…", reported a Computer World article.
On the other hand, there are approximately 60,000 Android phones sold each day and the Android app market is growing extensively with 30,000 applications currently, 60% of them being free, reported Android Tapp . The top applications for the Android market since March 2010, as reported by Gizmodo are Touiteur, Opera Mini, TMZ, Google Earth, Google Gesture Search, Thick Buttons, Google Shopper, and AIM for Android.
When considering which smart phone market developers and advertisers want to enter, brand loyalty is a major player. Surprisingly, a Crowd Science study found that the brand loyalty between both platforms are about equal. 90% of users of both phones stated that they would be willing to buy from that same company for their next phone.
Another major consideration that comes into play is the advantages from a carrier's perspective, Verizon and AT&T in this case.
A news story on att.com quoted the company's President and CEO, "Combine our high-performance 3G broadband wireless network, the new iPhone's business-class capabilities and a starting price of $199, and I expect that we will continue to increase revenue per user and attract customers who spend the most on wireless." This new agreement and revenue-sharing model is very attractive for both parties, and the monthly revenues from the iPhone users will double their average revenue base from regular phones.
In terms of Verizon and Google, it seems like a perfect pair for the nation's best wireless provider to partner with such a powerful company like Google.
Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google said, "The Android platform allows Verizon Wireless customers to experience faster and easier access to the web from any location. Through this partnership, we hope to deliver greater innovation in the mobile space to consumers across the U.S." The two companies also agreed to devote a great amount of resources towards developing cutting-edge technologies to market and deliver innovative services to new and existing customers.
So who will win in the end? Seems like it is up to the users to decide where their loyalty lies depending on applications, costs, usability, and connectivity.

Since I can't seem to give this group away LOL I guess the next best thing is to try and get it active again right?

However I do now have an awesome new house ( new to us that is) , all my stuff is unpacked, AND I now have my own studio. This hasn't happened since I was in college ( a long time ago..hmm I just gave my age away didn't I ? LOL)
So to get things rolling again I am going to be posting some tutorials and then challenges.. so please satay tuned.
PS>>>>> Anyone want to do a swap? I have a ton of stuff I would like to get rid of..paper...embellies..etc..so if you want to do a swap please let me know and I can co-ordinate that for us.
YEA!!!!! I'm so glad you are back! Sorry about the double move...but it sounds like the end results are fantastic! Congrats on your new home!!!

Java exploits are on the rise, and sharply so, exceeding PDF attacks by a factor of 60 to 1, according to Microsoft. Is it time to cut off Java in your workplace?There's an unavoidable, I think, progression in the growth of attacks against Java.
That progression, as pointed out in a recent Microsoft security blog, has steepened dramatically over the past couple of years, with the quarter just ended showing -- according to Microsoft -- more than 6 million attacks aimed at Java, compared to around 100,000 targeting PDF vulnerabilities.
The reason for the growth? Java -- and its vulnerabilities -- may not be as obvious even to security-savvy businesses as browsers, applications and other common attack targets. This is a dilemma with anything that runs in the background, but Java's popularity makes Java a bigger dilemma.
As a result -- along with other factors including the number of Java versions out there -- the number of unpatched Java holes remains higher than the number (still too high) of unpatched or not-upgraded higher profile programs.
Which begs the question, in some ways.
While you should take an inventory of your business's Java deployments, and take steps to ensure that every version in your system is the latest version, you should also ask yourself:
Just how much Java does the business really need?
What business purposes are served by providing employees Java-enabled platforms?
If you can't come up with a good answer to that one, your Java audit should also include a Java-disabled audit.
Of course, if you're running a Mac-based business, Java and its vulnerability issues is increasingly irrelavent.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Related companies are a common comparison. Look at Mastercard (MA) and Visa (V), Nike (NKE) and Under Armour (UA), or in this case, Ford (F) and General Motors (GM).
While it would be easy to compare the companies' earnings per share growth or revenue models all night, it wouldn't be very helpful. Investors can do that on their own and it takes all of five minutes to figure out.
In this case, there's one glaring obstacle that makes comparing the two companies all the more difficult: General Motors' recent bankruptcy.
GM's 2009 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing marked the low point for the U.S. auto industry. Unlike GM and Chrysler, Ford was able to stave off bankruptcy under CEO Alan Mulally's effective leadership -- but only barely, as the stock price traded down to roughly $1 per share.
Shares of Ford have been incredibly strong this year, and admittedly, I've been quite bullish. But what about its Detroit brethren?
When you consider that General Motors sold 9.29 million vehicles in 2012, second only to Toyota Motors' (TM) 9.75 million, it seems odd that Ford is generally heralded over GM. For what it's worth, GM took home the crown for top seller in the year prior, in 2011.
Part of what likely helped GM gain so many auto sales in the past -- it was the reigning top auto seller for eight decades until 2008 -- was the amount of brands it used to own, like SAAB, Hummer, and Pontiac (the list goes on for a while).
Presently, it's been pulling home a large piece of the U.S. domestic sales pie. Year-to-date, General Motors holds 18% of U.S. auto sales, besting Ford by 2%. Its 2.34 million auto sales also trump Ford's 2.08 million units.
Brand to Brand
For the record, though, as far as individual brands go (rather than by company), Ford is the top-selling name in the states for 2013, as well as in 2012. It also boasts the top-selling vehicle, the F-Series truck. Of course, it only makes sense that the Chevy Silverado is in second.
There's another important consideration when it comes to brand: Luxury.
Each company has its own luxury line. General Motors has Cadillac and Ford has Lincoln. To be frank, the latter is getting its ass kicked by the former, plain and simple.
Year-to-date, Cadillac has sold 148,200 units, more than double Lincoln's 66,980. Mulally is making a point to fix Lincoln's luxury image, but so far, the sentiment hasn't shifted much.
Although Lincoln's sales for the month of October increased 38% year-over-year, the brand is still lagging its total sales in 2012 of 82,150 vehicles. Even if it does best those numbers by year-end, annual sales growth will only be flat, or near flat, for 2013.
Compare this to Cadillac, which grew October sales 9.5% from last year, and is within 1,000 units of matching 2012's total figures (after only 10 months this year). Buick, another General Motors brand, has also done fairly well, selling just north of 175,000 units this year.
Cadillac is flat out owning Lincoln, and that's hard to argue with.

Kristen Kizer">
There is only one word to describe me this week.."EXHAUSTED"! As we tumbled through the weekend, which consisted of play dates, a visit with their father, and pool time; I found that none of the weekly house cleaning chores were getting accomplished. For every uneventful moment that I had, I decided to spend it sitting on the sofa or relaxing on my deck. Before I knew it, Monday was upon us and the house was a mess!
So here it was Monday night and I am sitting on the sofa (again) and scanning the room just to see "toys", "socks", "shoes", and....the dreadful "dust bunnies". How is a single mom to handle all of this? I felt completely "exhausted" just looking at the tornado affect! Then I came up with a plan….
Why not make a list of "chores" for the kids to do. After all, they are home for the weekend AND they are old enough to take on the task. Why not remove the video games, computers, and couch potato activities..and get them cracking at CLEANING!
First, I sat down with my daughter… What can she do to help around the house? Make her bed… Wash dishes… Sweep the floor…. Dust…. Feed the animals… Before I knew it, her list was on the refrigerator and she was off and "cleaning".
Second, the more challenging of the two…my son! He looked at me and said "Really?". We struggled through his list…Gather laundry… Make the beds… Mop the floor… Vacuum the first floor.. Grudgingly, his list was up and ready for action!
Now, here is the funny part. I get up in the morning to find that my daughter is already fast at work on her list. I look and the "check marks" are going fast and furious. Her goal…She wants an iPad (that is gonna take awhile). My son on the other hand is sitting on the sofa watching television while playing his DSi. I look at his list and see that he has successfully completed his tasks for the day.
I do my walk around to confirm and all looks good! I take a moment to look back at him and wonder why he doesn't look as exhausted as my daughter. I then begin the "interrogation" (as my son would call it) I am quickly reminded that my son is always "one step ahead of me". YUP, he off loaded his duties to his little sister!
As I began to question him as to why, he quickly answered "She really wants an iPad and I really don't want to do chores". So there you have it…. And my lesson learned? My son values his "time" and my daughter values her "money".
So in Keeping it REAL, make your children part of the "family"! Yes, I am pushing the idea of "making a list with REWARDS". It is important that ALL children understand the responsibilities of having a home and pets… It is important that they participate and stay involved in the activities of daily life. And as a single mother, I might soon find myself sitting on my sofa and looking around…. Looking around at a clean house completed by the adorable and loving hands of my favorite little people!

Killeen Daily Herald
FORT HOOD – There was a sweeping change of commanders in the 4th Infantry Division's 4th Brigade here Thursday, when all six battalion commanders as well as the brigade commanders and their command sergeants major underwent the time-honored tradition of reading the orders and the passing of the guidons, or unit flags, to their successors.
The newest brigade of the 4th Infantry Division, the 4th Brigade, returned in December after a year in Iraq and earned its first combat streamer. The combat streamer is earned for each campaign a unit serves in and is attached to its guidon.
Friends, family members, distinguished guests and civic leaders turned out for the traditional ceremony and parade at Cameron Field on Thursday morning.
The brigade, which is nicknamed the "Cobra Brigade," trained and deployed more than 4,000 soldiers to Iraq in less than one year, a remarkable achievement, said Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond, the 4th Infantry Division's commanding general.
"When Col. Michael Beech took over this command, it was nothing more than an idea," Hammond said. He had to train and deploy an entire brigade to the hardest parts of Baghdad in less than a year."
Taking over for Beech at the 4th Brigade is Col. Philip Battaglia, who is coming to the division from III Corps as the rear deputy commander.
"I am proud and deeply honored to join your team," Battaglia said. "I look forward to soldiering with you."
The two command sergeants major also passed the torch to each other. Outgoing Command Sgt. Maj. John Moody passed the guidon to Command Sgt. Maj. Edwin Rodriguez.
The following six battalions that make up the brigade changed commanders:
1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment: outgoing, Lt. Col. Robert Estey; incoming, Col. Edward Bohnemann
3rd Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment: outgoing, Lt. Col. Mark Bertolini; incoming, Lt. Col. Scott Kendrick
8th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment; outgoing, Lt. Col. Gian Gentile; incoming, Lt. Col. Daryle Hernandez
2nd Battalion, 77th Field Artillery Regiment: outgoing, Lt. Col. Kirk Sessin; incoming, Lt. Col. Timothy Daugherty
704th Support Battalion: outgoing, Lt. Col. Victor Harmon; incoming, Lt. Col. Mark Simerly
4th Special Troops Battalion: outgoing, Lt. Col. Joseph Gandara; incoming, Lt. Col. Tim Norton
Making his final address as commander to his troops, Beech urged the new commanders to "strive and lead them to further heights and victories."
All of the new commanders have at least one Iraq tour under their belt, many with several.
"The brigade is in good hands," Hammond said.

"You don't need to spend a lot of money to look like you did" is Lora Jones' philosophy.
Jones has opened a new store, Roxie's Consignment, and will celebrate with a grand opening Saturday.
As the name implies, Roxie's is a secondhand consignment store.
But there's more.
Jones describes her shop as three stores in one, and has names for each part - Roxie's Consignment, Roxie's Plus and Loaned Luxuries.
Roxie's Consignment offers nicer fashionable women's clothing and accessories in sizes 0-14. Some items available are designer brands such as Coach, Guess and Chico's.
Roxie's Plus allows plus-sized women to consign clothes from their own closets, and buy or rent new ones in sizes 14-32.
Being a plus-sized woman herself, Jones said she was forced to spend a lot on clothes, which meant having fewer outfits, because nice plus-sized clothing is so expensive at retail stores.
"There is no real place to go for plus-sized trading," she said.
As business picks up, Jones also plans to offer new plus-sized clothing lines.
As an added feature, Jones offers free one-hour consulting sessions for her plus-sized customers. "A lot of times people don't know how to dress for their bodies," Jones said. "We have so many different shapes."
While her passion is in the plus-sized area, her fashion advice is not reserved for those shoppers.
She will give ideas to anyone who asks. "I like to get people thinking along different lines than 'I wear blue, gray and black,' " she said. One simple recommendation is to add a "pop of color," like a chunky bracelet or big earrings.
The third part of Roxie's is its Loaned Luxuries, which offers customers the opportunity to rent luxury, designer and formalwear. Wedding, cocktail and prom dresses of all styles and sizes are available to rent.
"I just think that in this economy, people should consider renting," Jones said. "Men rent their tuxes. Why can't women rent a dress?"
Jones says she can't fathom why people would buy a dress they are going to wear only once when they can rent one for a fraction of the cost. "I have adorable stuff," she said. "Nobody needs to know it's rented."
The cost to rent formalwear varies depending on the items, but Jones said it would be about a third of what one might pay retail.
"You can rent the dress, the shoes, the jewelry … the whole look," she said.
When customers bring items in to consign with Jones, they have the option of making money by renting the items as well.
If the consignor chooses this option, the items' price tag will have two separate prices - one for rental, and one for purchase.
Jones splits the money from the sale or rental 50-50, and does not charge a per-item or tagging fee.
Roxie's is also looking to consign local art, jewelry and clothing design.
If You Go
Roxie's Consignment is at 2741 N. Campbell Ave. Hours are 5:30 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Contact: 351-2425 or www.roxiesconsignment.com
There will be a grand-opening celebration from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Refreshments will be served and special discounts will be offered.

i like gel
Me, too! Ever seen ants in blue gel? I had some for a while. Thanks for the review :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
:) Soothing.
Liking the sounds used. Definetly goes with the song name. Downloaded this a while ago..
Thank you! I'm surprised this song goes with the title, to be honest. I just happened to have real live ants in real blue gel at the time and the title just popped out to me. Naming songs is still a mysterious process to me.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
calm game worthy even
this is good I would download it in an instant (if i could get music to download form here) it seems like it would make a good song for a slower game mabye a turned based if you would make one.
Thanks! Hope you can get the downloads to work soon. This song has been used in a lot of REALLY good stuff including "Pandemic" the NG game, and a movie called The Effects of Purgatory. Even though it's purely ambient, it has a certain drive to it, and I'm glad people connected with that.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Calm...Peaceful...Need I say more?
Its very calming helps me focus...10/10
Glad to be of service :) Thanks for the review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Well, I can honestly see why this submission is a "gold" track. I enjoy this piece the most out of all your work(if I had to choose :] ), and I can listen to it repetitively. There is no hesistance to download this one.
Glad you enjoyed! My next project is starting to sound pretty similar to this actually (minimal ambient), so you might want to keep an eye on this page in the next month or so!

Golden Creek Mill – Easley, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Pickens County Photos | Golden Creek Mill
Edit This Page | Leave A Comment
The Golden Creek Mill is located in the small upstate town of Easley, just east of Greenville. Today's Golden Creek Mill, which is one of the prettiest stops along the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, is actually a replica of the original mill built in the early 1800s.
The original mill was built in 1815 by William O'Dell and served as a testament to the ingenuity of that century. The mill produced cornmeal, grits, flour, cotton, and even ice cream – all without the aid of electricity! For over 110 years, the mill was powered solely by the water in Golden Creek. Golden Creek Mill was originally designed as a grist mill, but in 1835 a cotton gin and press were added. Later, in the 1900s, an ice plant was introduced. Several elders in the area still fondly remember the ice cream made with that ice!
The twentieth century brought industrialization, and the mill eventually fell into disrepair. In 1985, Joyce and Leroy Stewart bought the land across the creek and built a replica of the abandoned mill. They brought in antique equipment from all over the country and even imported an old grindstone from Denmark! The Stewarts have stayed true to their model, as today's Golden Creek Mill is one of the only mills in the country still using hemp ropes instead of gears. However, the mill sits on private property and is open to the public by appointment only.
Many thanks to Jeff Sanders of Greenville for contributing this historical information.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the website and phone number of Golden Creek Mills are disconnected! I tried to call but it was disconnected and I tried to find the website under SC Mills but it is no longer available.

I want to know if it is still on private property or now is accessible. I checked the comments and they were 2 1/2 years ago. I would love to visit this but I would respect it if it is still on private property.

This is beautiful. However, it was privately purchased and is no longer accessible. I went there this past weekend with hopes to take my daughters senior pics there, but the gate is locked and there are signs posted everywhere for trespassing.
