Should Souray Be Suspended?
Jonathan Willis
February 13 2009 12:37PM
By now, we've likely all heard about the suspension to Canadiens forward Tomas Plekanec for slewfooting Denis Grebeshkov on Wednesday night. As Jason Gregor reported yesterday, Grebeshkov is going to be out for a minimum of two weeks, and likely longer with a high ankle sprain. Plekanec will be ineligible to play for two games, in accordance with the Colin Campbell Wheel of Justice.
With both Grebeshkov and Visnovsky injured, the blueline corps has been transformed from a strength to a weakness; Jason Strudwick and the recently recalled Theo Peckham are simply not of the same calibre as those two players.
Things could be worse, though. Yesterday, the Minnesota Wild sent a new video of Sheldon Souray's fight with Craig Weller to the NHL, based on a close-up angle from FSN's coverage of the game. According to the Wild, it's conclusive evidence:
The replay shows Souray throwing four "punches." Each time, Souray, instead of leading with his fist, turned his left wrist and forearmed Weller in the face. Weller sustained a serious concussion and hasn't played since.
Souray already met with Colin Campbell, who warned him that fighting while wearing the wrist guard is illegal. This video is hardly conclusive (Note: this isn't the close-up the Wild sent in), but it certainly seems possible that Souray was hitting Weller with his wrist guard. The Michael Russo of the Star-Tribune, who reported this story, says it's "hard to imagine" Souray being disciplined, given that the incident occurred a month ago. Souray
Maybe it's just me, but if the video is conclusive in showing that Souray intentionally hit Weller with his wrist guard, I'd like to see a suspension. Russo's likely right that the league will chose to do nothing, especially given their rather lax disciplinary policy (exceptions: if you insult your ex-girlfriend on TV) and the length of time that has passed. Even so, it's impossible to justify Souray using his wrist guard as a weapon, and if that is what indeed took place here, he deserves punishment.

Its pricks like Phanuf, Burrows, Tootoo who are the ones always looking to injure opposing players.
If anything comes of the Souray KO of Weller,then we need to CLOSELY REVIEW the hit put on Hemmer by Tootoo. That hit was clearly a charge...not because he came from the other side of the ice but because he jumped up so he would hit his head PERIOD. It sucks cause it was Hemsky and you can't deny the intent. Souray's already had a visit with Campell and it would have been fun to be a fly on the wall...in my mind the conversation would have went something like this. Campbell-"Holy crap you totally kicked the shit out of Weller...that was awesome"...but maybe next time don't use your wrist protector" Souray-"O.K"..."waitress another round here please"
@ Jason: How could it ever be obvious that Souray did that? Its a wrist guard!! not knuckle dusters.. And if during the fight the guard connected so be it! there is no rule saying no wrist guards.So Should they investigate Dion's hit that he laid the other night cause he definitly lead with his elbow.. Cheap head shot by Phanuf..Peiceof equipment to the head..And you see that he even had to adjust the elbow pad after he laid him out..

In fights: shit happens. If Campbell deemed it safe, it doesn't matter if he used it or not, deliberately or otherwise, because the safety of it is not an issue to anyone but Souray himself.
Deliberately: he would be stupid to do this because he's putting himself at risk more than Craig Weller, for example. Accidentally: well, accidents happen.
Deliberation only matters if it hurts the other player or puts them at risk. Tripping, eye-gouging, headbutitng, biting, etc. these are things that are suspendable, in my opinion. When you're in a fight in hockey anything below the shoulder goes except the elbows, IMO.
February 14 2009, 12:35AM
Robin, don't waste your time on these teenage shmucks.
Souray pushing Moreau out of the way and laying a beat down on Weller is probably the coolest thing I have seen all season. It is the one thing I will remember about this year, so far. If what he did was wrong............I don't want to be right.

In all fairness, i can see how this should have been considered an infraction and punished appropriatly, but looking back at that game i remember Weller was being a big pest, and, in this sport if you talk the talk you have to be prepared to face the consequences. He had it coming. You can't expect men to fight on skates and never get injured. Its part of the game and part of the sacrifice one makes to be an NHL'er.
As Per Above
We all talk about how this team definitely needs some sandpaper. While Stortini has shown improvements in his game, and the Oilers have added a true heavyweight in Macintyre, the Oilers still don't have that jacka-- that drive teams crazy and can put us over the edge ala Steve Ott, Ruttu, Vandermeer, or anyone drafted by the Vancouver Canucks (Kesler, Cooke, Burrows, Ruttu again, Hordichuk (though not drafted a Canuck)). My question is (although this would never happen) would the Oilers benefit from picking up Sean Avery? I know most people will answer that while we need a player like Avery, Avery himself is not the answer because "insert answer here". However, truth is there are not many players (if any) of his skillset that are available. If the Oilers were to pick up his salary at half the price due to ren-entry waivers, would you do it?
February 14 2009, 01:07PM
@ TonyT: Avery has a lot of on-ice qualities that can help a lot of teams, so there's no question that, from a skillset point of view, he's intriguing -- especially at a discount rate.
That said, and the only caveat being there is a chance he's changed his ways after his latest scrape -- I don't buy it that he's a new man in a couple months -- he is such a divisive and polarizing force it's not worth it.
I've talked to Avery's teammates and he is the epitome of cancer in the dressing room. I had players who normally wouldn't say sh*t if there mouth was full of it tell me he's absolutely the biggest waste of skin as far as a human being they have ever met. Take that for what it's worth.
February 14 2009, 02:40PM
I love being able to rewind and watch that fight over and over again. Gags got one good shot in. Not bad.
February 14 2009, 02:42PM
You suck storts. Big Mac woulda destroyed that guy.
@ Robin B
Thanks for the comments Robin. I think we can agree that Avery presents the Oilers with a specific skillset, one that I believe the Oilers have been missing for quite sometime, especially given the importance the Oilers put on leadership qualities on draft day making these types of "unsavoury" characters absent in the organization. My question then becomes (with the lack players like Avery) available to the Oilers, would it be more beneficial to the Oilers to stand pat in terms of organizational template or to add Avery in light of the risks (Dallas Stars) and possible rewards (NY Rangers)? Also, if the Oilers were to do this my understanding is that if they were to pickup Avery on re-entry waivers that they would only be responsible for half his salary (1) what happens to the other half? and (2) if the Oilers then sent him down and called him up and he was again picked up on re-entry waivers by another team what would happen to his salary?

Would you have sent a tape Gregor, if it was Brent Burns wearing the wrist gaurd?
I wouldn't since I don't work for the Oilers...haha.
I never said sending a tape was bad, I reported the FACTS. Souray had a meeting with Campbell because Campbell wanted to see the guard. He saw and made a decison that it wasn't a weapon in this case. Will Souray be monitored more closely now because of it, yes.
It has nothing to do with which team sent the tape from my opinion. I've stated many times that due to my job I am not a FAN of the Oilers. I want them to win because it benefits the city, but really whether they win or lose doesn't change my job. That's why I love being a Dolphins fan. It allows me to still cheer for a team, and since I don't cover them, my cheering for them doesn't influence how I do my job.
February 15 2009, 09:06AM
BooHoo already,get over it Wild.Plain and simple Weller is a wimp and he messed with the wrong guy and Souray kicked his ass.

If his take on this doesn't hold up, it's because he didn't have all the information — which he's already acknowledged. It's a legit topic, given the follow-up from Russo. Dennis wrote: This WIll be a major story if the new video makes the Weller thrashing a suspendable offense At least you snuck in 17 words on the actual topic before treating us to, surprise, more of your insight on how the MSM won't tell the real story and is putting the "spin" on Smid.
If the bloggers can express an opinion on this site, the people who read these blogs can definitely express their opinions in the comment fields. I believe that's what they're for(!) Have a little bit of respect for the people who come on here out of boredom to read your truly exclusive insights. Just a thought, maybe you should listen to input from YOUR readers instead of immediately dismissing us. Maybe you just don't care if anybody reads your blog, I don't know. I know if I were you I would care because a blog that nobody reads is hardly worth writing.
That goes for both of you, by the way. I know this is not your blog, Robin B, but you seem very offended that OilFan had the nerve to express his dissenting opinion.
I'm getting pretty disgusted by the misplaced sense of 'righteousness' and 'self-importance' that you 'writers' seem to have. I'm a 'writer' too. Honestly, your opinion is just an opinion. It is not more worthy than any other opinion than anybody might express. Sure, you might know hockey better than alot of people. But you need to have some respect. Just because you express your opinions on some website does not make it more or less valid.

Grow up. Dissenting opinion? Like I already said, argue the merits of what's written until you're blue in the face, but don't chastise Willis or anybody else for choosing to write about a given topic. "BOOO, hometown reporting only?" That's deep. What does that add to debate?
And you'd best step back into the real world. Everybody has the right to an opinion, but if you think all opinions are created equal, well, keep thinking it if you must.
By the way, three straight posts qualifies as just wanting to hear yourself talk. Here's a thought, as you put it: the vast majority of people who comment here offer insights that are worth debate, even if they run contrary to what the "writers" think. Some do not.
And before you offer your "opinion" based on citing my response to Dennis, you'd best do your homework on the history behind that one.
Thanks for putting me in my place! I'm sorry for suggesting that people had the right to say what they think, regardless of if it's on topic or not!
Maybe I just want to tell you what I think?
'debate'. Right, this is all pure intellectual conversation right here. There's alot to debate about, hockey is so complex. I can hardly wrap my mind around this entire discussion. Should he be suspended, or not?? God, that's a ring-dinger.
Sure, some people write stupid comments. I'm sure you know the internet isn't limited to people looking for an intelligent debate. If you have a problem with that, maybe you shouldn't be blogging.
February 16 2009, 02:39PM
@ Jaime: If you have a problem with grasping the concept that there's a difference in debating the issue and taking shots at the person who raised the issue, then maybe you need to bugger off and find a place where it's really dumbed down.
Oilers rule! Flames suck! No they don't. Yes they do. No they don't. Yes they do. No they don't. You suck. No I don't. Yes you do . . .
Interesting you don't like my take that the person commenting should debate the issue and not take shots at the writer for raising it -- that's some sort of censorship and denying the basic right to say whatever the hell you want -- but you're apparently OK with the poster telling Willis what to write with his "BOOO hometown news only" comment. Hmm. Do tell.

Artist: Violet TEAGUE
Birth/Death: 1872–1951
Title: The boy with the palette
Credit Line: Gift of U.S. Teague 1976. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
Violet Teague took pride in this portrait. It was her most highly priced work, although it never sold and was eventually presented to the National Gallery by her family in 1976. There is an air of commanding self-confidence in Teague's portrayal of her 12-year-old subject. The colours of his palette echo those in the painting and suggest a direct connection between the boy and the execution of the portrait - that is, the invention of his own destiny.

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
6th Monday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 13:10-23,43
At that time, the disciples of Jesus came to him and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: 'You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive. For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.' But blessed are your eyes, for they see and your ears, for they hear. Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
"Hear then the parable of the sower. When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

He is a very hard worker who believes in getting his work completed and done in a timely fashion. He is friendly and easy to get to know. If he has questions, he's never afraid to ask so that he can do his job even better than before. He cares not only about what he does, but the people that he works with. If asked, I would say that he is a great person to have as an employee. He is a team player and brings others into the team.

Sorry about that one- we always try to close on a Sunday night to give you the weekend to post! Use the unexpected time to make your project especially awesome.
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first man-made satellite, Sputnik. The United States answered with the Vanguard TV3, which rose four feet before exploding on the lauchpad. The perceived technology gap ushered in the space race, an era of unprecedented excitement and support for science and engineering. Engineering colleges were flooded with new students, while grade schools quickly scaled up their science curriculum.
Since then the world has become complacent, and the great powers are mostly at peace. Without a clear external foe, scientific motivation has withered. It's time to prepare the next generation of physicists, chemists, biologists, and engineers for the next great threat- from SPACE!
While our governments fritter away time and money on dubious space stations and malfunctioning probes, our species remains confined to a single planet. Manned spaceflight capabilities have dwindled, and funding cuts threaten scientific education and research. We're hardly ready to deal with a rogue comet or deadly space-borne spores, much less a full-blown alien invasion!
Thus, Instructables and Amazon.com's Industrial and Scientific store have taken a look back to the 1950s, and resurrected the best thing to come of the decade's spirit of intellectual competition: the Science Fair!
To enter the Science Fair, demonstrate and explain a physical principle in the Instructables format, and incorporate this lesson into a fun project. It can be your version of a classic project with better explanation or a neat twist, a home translation of a lab experiment, or something totally novel. Just take great pictures, explain the scientific principles clearly and thoroughly, build a great project, and get us excited about science!
Grand Prize
The grand prize winner for will receive a USD $1,500 Amazon.com gift certificate1, a custom laser-etched Leatherman Juice S2 multi-tool, and an Instructables Robot t-shirt.
First Prize
Four (4) first prize winners will each receive a USD $250 Amazon.com gift certificate, a custom laser-etched Leatherman Juice S2 multi-tool, and an Instructables Robot t-shirt.
Runner Up
Twenty (20) runners-up will each receive a USD $25 Amazon.com gift certificate, an Instructables patch, and stickers.
Family Collaboration
Two collaborating families will receive a matched set of Instructables Robot t-shirts and an acrylic Robot plaque laser-engraved with their names!
How to measure the speed of sound with two lumps of wood is a fine example of a simple project with a good, clear explanation. Since it's a simple experiment, variations in different media would be great.
DIY Kitty Crack: ultra-potent catnip extract does a great job explaining the physical principle of steam distillation, then applies it to an awesome home project. This is a nearly perfect example.
Mechanical Wave Driver for a Chladni Plate is a good-looking project, but would need a thorough discussion of the principles involved.
Photography in the Ultraviolet spectrum is a nice simple project that would need a thorough discussion of UV light to be a great Science Fair entry.
Levitate Objects in Mid-Air would need a good discussion of Bernoulli's principle instead of a link off-site. An explanation of the different effects from changing blower and object size would be even better. It would be fantastic when combined with a fun twist like Bernoulli's Slalom.
Diamagnetic Levitation Experiment does a good job explaining a neat project; with a bit more discussion it could be a truly great entry.
Blue Flaming Pinecones, with a good description of the chemistry involved in color change, would be most excellent if the flames were then analyzed using Naff Movie into 'DVD Spectra'.
1. Publish your Instructable and add it to the Science Fair! group from July 12th until 11:59pm PDT Sunday, September 2nd, 2007. Only projects published within these dates are eligible.
2. We want to see a great explanation, demonstration, and instruction on your chosen scientific principle. All branches of science are eligible- this is a broadly-defined contest! Be clear and thorough- readers should be able to understand the concept and replicate your experiment given access to appropriate tools. Remember, you're helping educate the next generation of rocket scientists!
3. Include a link to something used in your Instructable's research, development, or construction that could be bought on Amazon.com. This includes parts like a magnet or some sheet metal, gear such as safety glasses, tools such as a drill, and references such as a magazine or a book.
4. Were your parents sad they couldn't help out with your school Science Fair project? Well, not only are we OK with it, we ENCOURAGE parent-kid collaborations! In fact, we're giving a special prize to the best family collaborations!

Skip to comments.Documents say Texas brothel used immigrants [TX & OK sex slavers]
Posted on 08/02/2006 2:33:58 PM PDT by SwinneySwitch
AUSTIN (AP) - Brothels in the Austin area and Oklahoma City that used immigrant women and catered mostly to undocumented workers were part of a multistate prostitution ring federal agents have partially broken up, court documents say.
Women from Mexico and Central and South American countries worked in the prostitution houses and in some cases reported being held against their will, documents show.
The brothel near Austin was the second in that area run by the same man, officials allege. Juan Balderas-Orosco, 34, escaped capture when authorities raided the first one four years ago, but he was arrested June 29 after a yearlong surveillance operation and charged with transporting women to engage in prostitution.
Four others face similar charges.
Balderas has been ordered held without bail pending a hearing. His court-appointed lawyer declined to comment, saying he was not yet familiar with the case.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said she did not know details of the case.
In 2002, immigration agents and Austin police raided a house, which they later said was a brothel run by Balderas. They arrested two Mexican men and two women -- one from Colombia and the other from the Dominican Republic.
The women told agents they were moved among locations in several states and forced to perform sex acts for money, court documents said.
"The organization recruits females ... and arranges for them to be smuggled into the United States. The aliens are held in indentured servitude and forced into prostitution," an arrest affidavit said.
The men accused of working for Balderas pleaded guilty in federal court to transporting and harboring illegal aliens, served 15 months in prison and were deported.
About a year after the first house was raided, Balderas opened another brothel about a mile away, just outside the city limits, court documents said.
A federal affidavit said that in June 2005 agents placed a covert pole camera to allow continued surveillance of the house. A year later agents raided the house. On the same day, June 29, a brothel in Dallas was raided, and Balderas was arrested after leaving an Oklahoma City brothel, the affidavit said.
Two other men, Francisco Castillo-Celaya and David Mendoza, were also arrested and charged in Oklahoma City. Two others, including Balderas' wife, have been charged but not arrested, court documents said. ___
Information from Austin American Statesman
Just doin the humpin that Americans wont do?
Sex Tourism and Human Trafficking Bump List
It was obvious, but I got there first.
As much as I carp about illegal immigrants, it really angers me when I see them abused. It isn't lost on me that they are abused in many if not most instances more by their own people than they are by U.S. citizens. Any person that would take another against their will and force them to take part in this should be locked up for decades.
I wager they are using falsified I.D. Can't they add to their sentence if they can prove this? It ought to be added punishment when people who are apprehended are sporting fake I.D.
"A federal affidavit said that in June 2005 agents placed a covert pole camera to allow ..."
Where was the editor on that one?
Don't guess Marvin got this scoop like he did back when the (chicken ranch)was a happenin. For some of you folks not familiar with Marvin, you DO NOT want to see him coming in his white suit, if you own a food service (restaurant, etc) in the Houston area, so that he can report on his weekly "Rat and Roach Report", or his report on SLIIIIMMMMMEEE in the ice machine. What a character. Every big city needs a MZ.
I don't know about you, but these are the sort of jobs I definitely won't do.
When we moved to Dallas area 12 years ago, the brothels were all over the place. We thought they were roadside bars!!
This is what happens when laws are not enforced.
Oh, that was Dolly Parton!
Some little bitty pissant country places need him, too!
Maaaarrrrrvin Zindler, Eyewitness News.
Aaah, Dame Edna, then. I only know the stories from some of my former high school classmate guys. Guess we both dated ourselves there.
Yeh, but in those days, Miss Mona knew him as Melvin P. Thorpe, and, of course, played by Dom Delouise in the movie. I am back on the east coast now, but I'm hopin Marvin is still doin well on Ch. 13, with Dave, Shara, and the gang.
Well, I don't watch Ch. 13 in the evenings, only in the early AM, so I don't see those same people.
Marvin is still going strong. I know that because Don Nelson on the 6AM News did a little special segment on him the other day, pertaining to his wigs. It might have been another birthday, but I'm not sure. I think it would be about number 84 or 85.
Marvin's wife died a few years ago - they had been married over 50 years, I believe. The funeral procession passed by my house to and from his church is why I recall it so well, lol. He has since remarried fairly recently.
He has had 5 face-lifts and multi-numbers of other plastic surgeries, 10 or 15, I think, which he talks about all the time. Has hundreds of wigs and hairpieces, wears dark glasses all the time now, for some eye condition, but I don't know what it is. He has had a lifetime contract with Ch. 13 since some time in the 80s.
Shara is gone from Ch. 13. She had colon cancer several years ago, but beat it. Then 2-3 years ago, she stopped being an anchor, but still did some special reports and I saw some PSA's she did, which still run. They said something last month about her leaving the station for good at that time, but I don't know the reason. She was the longest-time female anchor in the Houston market when she left.
Dave is still around, but I don't know much about him (he's not one of my favorite people).
Aren't you thinking of Nuevo Laredo, hmmm?
No fruits to pick there.
Or Piedras Negras???
The second house started up a year after the first raid.
(I imagine there are a lot of nervous former clients over the pole camera videos.)
The second house was located outside of the Austin City Limits.
All the arrests were made in OK City.
Or the Boys Town that isn't in Nebraska and which has never been seen by Father Flanagan. Es en La Zona Rosa.

Harry Kane: 'I'm in the best form of my career'
Tottenham's Harry Kane believes he is in the best form of his career to date – and he is happy to embrace the status of being, in his manager's words, "one of the top strikers in the world". Kane hit a first-half hat-trick in Sunday's 4-0 home win over Stoke City, netting his third treble in nine games and passing the 20-goal mark for the third successive year. The 23-year-old has scored 13 goals in his last 12 games and, even though he missed 10 matches between September and November due to an ankle injury, he lies joint top of the Premier League's goalscoring chart as he attempts to win the golden boot for the second time in a row.

Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno says he's re-commissioning a special paramilitary strike force, which he says will patrol the city's more violent neighborhoods.
This follows a string of four murders over the last few weeks, which brought Springfield's homicide total to 16 for the year. That's already higher than last year.
Sarno says the special unit will have what he calls a "measured response for…hot spot areas."
"They will be out there aggressively – respectfully – and aggressively," Sarno says. "And that's what the good people of those neighborhoods and those streets – no matter what creed, color or background – want, when I've spoken to them. They want piece, but when you have these types of [crime] spikes, you need to hit back and hit back with a show of force."
A spokesperson for the police department, John Delaney, says the unit was formed in 2004 to combat gangs and street crime. But he says it was disbanded a year ago due to "budget and manpower issues."
This story was written and reported by David Chang and Sam Hudzik.

NIce boots runs too narrow at the top

Nice warm boot
"I just received these and because it's not snowing yet, wore them around the house to make sure they fit. They seem comfortable and very warm! I like the clean look and the fact that the shaft is narrow so that pants will fit down over the tops comfortably. I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't worn them enough to test warmth in cold weather and how waterproof they are."

Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum and Gardens
Tinker Swiss Cottage is a historic house museum located in the heart of Rockford, Illinois. The museum complex contains the historic house museum, barn, and carriage house from the Tinker family. In addition, the property is the home of the founding site of Rockford and contains a Pre-Columbian Native American conical mound. Robert surrounded his Swiss Cottage with over 27 acres of trees, vines, winding pathways, flowerbeds, and gardens. A three-story Swiss inspired barn was added to the property which housed cows, chickens, and horses. On the side of the Cottage, Robert constructed a suspension bridge crossing the Kent Creek. At the end of Robert's suspension bridge, he planted elaborate gardens deemed the Railroad Gardens where passengers could stroll as they waited for the train.
The mission of the museum is to demonstrate the vital role railroads have played in the growth of the Chicago area as well as the United States through the preservation and operation of railroad and mass transit rolling stock and the display of related artifacts in a realistic setting. These exhibits provide an interactive, educational experience for visitors of all ages. We welcome all to our Museum and encourage you to join in our education, restoration and preservation efforts.

Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.
More than 70 historic autos including presidential limousines, Al Capone's car and movie cars such as the Batmobile, PLUS hundreds of "pieces of history" and constantly changing exhibits make this museum a step above the standard auto museum.

Not what I expected.
"This sandal is cute, but the material on the straps was much thinner and flimsier than I expected. There also isn't much velcro on the straps, and I was worried that the straps might fly open while walking, especially since the straps barely closed on my wide foot. The quality of these shoes does not meet the price whatsoever ($59.95 at the time of purchase). Definitely disappointed."

"These overall seem like great sandals, very comfy. The only issue is the strap nearest the ankle is a little short and leaves some of the lower velco exposed when hooked. Another half an inch would have eliminated that issue."

OK. We promised more interviews with the cast of the Eclipse movie (rated PG-13) and here you have it: Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner answer questions about the movie, talk about the infamous tent scene, and just generally keep me rolling on the floor laughing with their hilarious real-life personalities.
Q: What did you learn for Eclipse?
Rob: I guess I had to learn how to run properly. In the last two I've always run in a limp slash skip and I had to sort of look like I could run more solidly this time. So I spent a lot of time on a giant treadmill, like one of those wheels mice run around and got filmed doing it to improve my form. I guess that was one thing.
Q: Can you talk about what you think halfway through playing Edward? Has he changed?
Rob: I think he's coming out of his shell a little bit in Eclipse, so hopefully by the end of Breaking Dawn I'm hoping he'll be a normal 17-year-old guy, just a little bit pale.
Q: Do you believe in a soul like Edward?
Rob: Yeah I mean, I think definitely. I can't remember who said it, but a soul and a heaven must exist because good people aren't rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense.
Q: Taylor had a great line when he gets to say he's hotter. How was it filming that scene and were you upset you didn't get a comeback as Edward?
Rob: There's nothing you can say. "Yeah, you are! At least I'm not hotter than you." I don't know. Yeah it was quite fun. There are quite a few lines in there. Jacob has quite a few catch phrase type of lines, with me especially. It's quite funny. For some reason I find it quite funny when I'm doing stuff with Taylor. There are a couple scenes where we have sort of confrontational scenes, and I sort of push him around a little bit and I was supposed to grab his shoulder. It wasn't even in the script, but I thought I'd really scare him and grab him and it would freak him out and turn the whole scene upside down! Then I grabbed his shoulder and it was too big to actually get a grip on. So I just dropped my hand, so that was kind of embarrassing. I got him badly though — he kept having to dress up in a little grey spandex wolf suit all the time and try and be intimidating in that with Kristen patting him on the head and stuff. That was quite fun!
Q: Edward and Victoria have this really cool fight scene. How much training did you and Bryce have to go through and what was it like having to fight a girl?
Rob: Weirdly one of the producers told me "Wow you look so enthusiastic in that fight scene, much more so than any one in the series." No, I did a bit of practice with Bryce. It's really hard to do stuff with her because she's the gentlest person and she's always laughing when you do anything so we did a little bit and kind of half-heartedly and then she'd be afraid of hurting me even though she'd only be hitting [does light tap]. Most of the vicious stuff I did was with a stunt double who was really really tough.
Q: What's the one part of your costume that always transforms you into character?
Rob: Probably the contact lenses. It makes me miserable as soon as I put them in. That's what creates sort of the pouting and brooding character. You're just like "ugh."
Q: How are you going to go about getting your long hair back for Breaking Dawn?
Rob: I'm thinking maybe Edward got a haircut – it might be easier. But yeah I didn't even think about that when I got it cut. That is a bit silly. Vampires can cut their hair though, so I like the idea of Edward having a shaved head in the last one. That's pretty cool.
Q: What was it like filming tent scene?
Rob: The tent scene, for some reason on that day – we re shot it as well, but the first time we did it, I was really freaking out I don't know why. I think it had to do with claustrophobia or something. We were actually shooting in a tent, and I just couldn't get it together! I kept forgetting my lines and was so nervous. I just wanted to punch anyone who was near me! We did about three takes and Kristen is supposed to be asleep on the floor and she saw that I was freaking out. Halfway through the take she suddenly opened her eyes and was just staring at me and kept trying to make me laugh through the entire take, and it's like the most serious scene in the whole movie! I just wanted to strangle her for the first two seconds, but then I could not stop laughing the entire time. We got literally one take where it went kind of right and it was because of that, when I was trying to hold back. I guess it made me more alive or something. They did re-shoot the scene in the end, so maybe I'm a little bit mistaken.
Q: Can you talk about working more closely with Robert in this film?
Taylor: Yeah, that's right. I had a scene or two in New Moon where I was able to work with Rob and I was really excited to work with him for Eclipse quite a bit. The hardest thing I found about working with Rob is that usually I have to hate him in the scenes and it's difficult. He's such a funny nice guy. Literally doing a scene where we're yelling and screaming at each other and he's slapping my shoulder and I'm shoving him off me and we're screaming and spitting in each other's faces and then as soon as they call cut we bust out laughing. It is really hard to be mean to Rob definitely.
Q: Is there a scene in particular that was tough?
Taylor: The tent scene. The tent scene is really good because it has that intensity, but it's also humorous at the same time.
Q: The line where Rob says "Doesn't he have a shirt," referring to you being half-naked throughout the entire film, was that in the script?
Taylor: I believe it was actually in the book, but it was definitely in the script. When I read that for the first time I couldn't wait for Rob to deliver that. It was funny. It was quite obvious when they pull up in the middle of the street –even in the position I'm in. I'm leaning back up against the car with my hands behind me. It looks like I'm waiting flexing for her to come up. Those are the awkward scenes. When everybody is fully clothed, it's raining and I'm just the only person there waiting kind of posing for them.
Q: You have maybe the line of the movie when you get to say "I'm hotter." How did you get through that with a straight face?
Taylor: It's true — keeping the straight face was the tough thing. That was another line when I read it and I loved the line, but I was like this is going to be so hard to deliver and especially with a straight face. I was looking Rob in the eyes and he's starring at me with that Edward look.
Q: Do you have any guilty pleasures?
Taylor: American Idol definitely. So You Think You Can Dance as well, but American Idol would definitely be number one for me. I haven't missed an episode in what is it eight or nine years. Can't believe I just said that.
Q: Can you sing?
Taylor: No, I can't sing and that's the funny thing. Maybe that's why I like watching it so much is because I know there's no way I can do that.
Q: How do you remained so balanced and a normal guy in all of the craziness of Twilight?
Taylor: That's a good question. It definitely is surrounding yourself with family and the friends that you've known forever. I live—all of us do in two completely different worlds and they are complete opposites. This is our job. We go to work, we live in this business world and then we go back to our regular world. We do the same we did before. We're not that exciting. We sit home and watch American Idol every Tuesday and Wednesday and spend time with our family and friends. I think maintaining that world is extremely important.
And now you know what Taylor Lautner does on Tuesday and Wednesday nights! When you're watching the next season of American Idol, you can imagine Taylor watching it too, and it will almost be like you're watching it together! Sort of.
