THE USA Rice Federation has named Ben Noble, who has been serving as senior government relations representative with the National Cotton Council, as its vice president for legislative affairs.
Noble previously served as a congressional staff member in the offices of Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., and former Sen. Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., before becoming a lobbyist for the cotton industry.
"The rice industry is faced with a number of formidable legislative and regulatory challenges now and in the near future. Ben Noble is imminently qualified to help lead the rice industry in successfully addressing these challenges," said Stuart Proctor, USA Rice president and CEO.
"His experience as a congressional staff person for members of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Senate Finance Committee and Senate Appropriations Committee, as well as his experience as a lobbyist with the National Cotton Council, will help the USA Rice Federation accomplish its objectives on Capitol Hill and at USDA."
On Noble's appointment, USA Rice Chairman Gary Sebree said, "Ben grew up on a rice farm in Arkansas, so he knows the rice industry from the ground up. He fully understands federal programs pertaining to rice and will be a tremendous asset to the USA Rice Federation in our policy formulation process."
Noble has a bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas, where he also did graduate work and served as a research assistant.

Generally speaking, launching riders are given right of way, however site-specific conditions at times require the opposite.
For instance, Berkeley which has a very small beach surrounded by rocks and adjacent high-traffic roads. In this case, it would seem that the public and all kiters would be best served by incoming kites being landed and out of the way, thus putting the incoming kiters out of harm's way and clearing up space for the outgoing kiter to launch and make his way out into the water to send it. This is a small, hazardous launch adjacent to I-80, the frontage road, freeway onramp and pedestrian heavy Bay Trail. Should incoming kiters have to hang out on the beach with kites overhead waiting to land so others can launch? Space is at a premium and 2 kites up and it's crowded. I think safety and the public come first.
What do you think? Cast your vote and maybe we can establish what is the safest option for the public, and kiters.

After a frustrating home-stand, the Revs hit the road looking to turn it around against the unbeaten Crew
Live updates: MLSsoccer.com MatchCenter >>
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The New England Revolution returns to the road this weekend for a Saturday night meeting with the Columbus Crew, and after earning just one point from a possible nine in the recent three-game home-stand, perhaps a change of scenery will provide the spark for which the club is searching.
Two weeks ago, the Revs (2-4-1, 7 pts.) had high hopes as they entered a stretch of three consecutive games at Gillette Stadium – their longest home-stand of the 2010 regular season – looking to keep pace with the leaders in the Eastern Conference. A series of injuries, three ejections and continued difficulty maintaining possession put a damper on the proceedings, however, as losses to the Colorado Rapids and Chivas USA were sandwiched around a draw with FC Dallas.
The trio of results dropped the Revolution's home record to 1-2-1 on the season, with an impressive 4-1 win over Toronto FC in the home opener representing the only victory. The Revs have a similar 1-2-0 record on the road, but they'll be looking to improve upon that this weekend in Columbus.
Of course, Crew Stadium is not the easiest of venues for visiting teams to acquire points, and the Crew is not the easiest of teams to try to acquire those points against. Columbus (2-0-2, 8 pts.) enters this weekend as one of only two remaining unbeaten teams in Major League Soccer, having conceded just three goals, the second-lowest total in the league. The Crew lost just two games at home in the entire 2009 regular season, and the club has continued that form early in 2010, winning its first two home games without allowing a single goal.
"They're a good team," said midfielder Khano Smith, who earned his first start in his second stint with the Revolution on Wednesday night against Chivas USA. "(They were) champions a couple of years ago (in 2008), so it's going to be hard. We just have to be at our best. We have to play better, because they're going to be good, so it's not going to be easy."
While the statistics stack up heavily against the Revs, they do have history on their side. The last time the Revolution visited Crew Stadium, it was in the final game of the 2009 regular season. Needing at least a draw in that match to secure of a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Revs earned a 1-0 win courtesy of a Jeff Larentowicz free kick.
Such memories could help the Revs mentally prepare for another match in which they'll have to overcome injuries and suspension. In addition to long-term injury victims Matt Reis (L shoulder/L knee surgery), Taylor Twellman (concussion) and Emmanuel Osei (R leg infection), Mike Videira (L ankle Os Trigonum) will remain sidelined for the second straight game. Joining him will be Kevin Alston (R hamstring strain) and Edgaras Jankauskas (R hamstring strain), both of whom picked up knocks in the midweek match against Chivas USA and did not travel to Columbus. Meanwhile, Shalrie Joseph remains away from the club while attending to personal matters.
The Revs will also have to cope without Marko Perovic, who has been the main thrust in the attack since making his debut in the third game of the season against Toronto. The Serbian midfielder will serve a one-game suspension after he was ejected from Wednesday's loss to Chivas USA.
"We've got to work through it," said head coach Steve Nicol when asked how the team would adjust without Perovic. "We've just got to make up for it – simple as that. We've got to find a way. Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't, but you've got to keep striving to find that answer."
On the flip side, the Revs will be happy to welcome forward Kheli Dube and midfielder Joseph Niouky back into the fold. Both were suspended for the Chivas USA match after being ejected from last weekend's draw with FC Dallas, but will be eligible to return against the Crew.
While there are still questions as to how Nicol will fill the newly-created gaps left by Alston and Perovic, Niouky's return provides a natural central midfielder, while Dube is another option up top with Twellman and Jankauskas injured.
No matter who he chooses to put on the field, Nicol believes that it's down to each individual player to improve their focus after untimely mistakes led to a pair of Chivas USA goals on Wednesday night.
"At the end of the day, you can't win games when you're letting goals in," he said. "I'm not sure whether I'd rather we were getting cut apart and losing goals, or whether we'd prefer to be making stupid mistakes like we have done and losing goals. There's probably not a right way, but I guess if you make stupid mistakes, then that's a lot easier to rectify than having your backline totally torn apart. I don't think we're being torn apart – certainly not when we've been 11-v-11 – but we've certainly made individual errors that have cost us."
Smith – who could find himself in the starting lineup for the second straight game with Perovic suspended – agreed that it would be fatal for the Revs to continue to let mistakes cost them goals.
"We gave up soft goals (against Chivas USA)," he said. "I mean, they took the chances, but we gave them soft goals. We can't give up soft goals like that. We need to play the way the coaching staff wants us to play."
The way Nicol would like his players to play is simple. An inability to maintain possession has been the main sticking point in recent weeks, and he believes that a return to the basics is necessary for improvement to take hold.
"We really need to do the basics better," he said. "Again, the game's all about doing the basics well. If you do the basics well, then you've got a chance."
In order to focus on the basics, the Revs will have to push the recent loss to Chivas USA out of their minds and give 100 percent of their attention to the Crew.
"We need to get back to where we were a couple of weeks ago," said Dube. "Try to pass the ball more and try to forget about this past game (against Chivas USA). Games like that, they happen a lot. We play a professional sport – you lose some, you win some. That one, we lost, and it's gone now and we focus on Columbus."

We live in an old farmhouse. I am accustomed to seeing the occasional mouse in the basement. To hearing the occasional mouse in the ceiling. To finding occasional mousey evidence in the form of chewed-through birdseed bags in the entryway.
I am not accustomed to mice running full speed across the living room floor directly at my feet. Or to seeing them skitter across the counter behind the kitchen sink. Or to hearing them have an all-out clan war in my bedroom in the middle of the night.
Something has happened in the mousey kingdom between last night and the night before and I wish it would end.
We had not seen or heard a mouse for several months. In fact, aside from when they attempted to move into the house last fall before the impending winter, there has not been a problem. Of course, last fall we trapped two a day for a week, so perhaps that properly reduced the population. Still, for months, there was nothing.
And then, last night. I do not know if there were many or just a couple that were crazed, but a mouse was running back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, working up the courage to … DASH … directly at our feet. We both yelped. Then we heard it (or another?) in the entry way. Then we went to bed. Then we heard things clinking in the kitchen. Then we heard them fighting behind our dresser. And running across the bedroom floor. And squeaking under the bed. I didn't get much sleep last night.
The first thing I did this morning was check to see if there had been a full moon last night. No dice. Can't blame it on the moon. Then I did a quick Google search to see if there was such a thing as catnip for mice. No results. My theory of a mouse Saturnalia or Bacchanalia was groundless.
In fact, the only thing that changed between last night and the night before was that my husband did a little work on the chimney. In the process, some debris fell down the wall. Did we crush their home? Do we have a mischief of mice looking for new lodging? More urgently, are they preparing revenge?

This outfit was one of the many ones that I tried out that day. I emptied out my closet in a search for the perfect outfit for the current weather condition (not hot nor cold). After going thru so many outfit I ended up with this one. I mixed up textures by adding a faux leather corset under the woven shirt. Mixing textures and stepping out of my box is my new thing. New things are always scary but once done you can see there was nothing to it.

The Alexa Top Sites web service provides ranked lists of the top sites on the Internet.
Alexa's site popularity traffic rankings are based on the anonymous usage patterns of one of the largest and most global samples of internet users available in the world. This web service enables developers to add high-quality web traffic intelligence directly into their web sites and applications. This data can be used internally to make business decisions such as where to most effectively advertise, or externally, when prioritizing aggregated information on a web site. Whether seeking the top 100,000 web sites in the world, or the top 1,000 in the U.S., the Alexa Top Sites web service allows developers to programmatically receive rankings for web sites in over 70 countries.
A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and page views computed over a trailing 3 month period. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Page views are the total number of Alexa user page requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same page (URL) on the same day by the same user are counted as a single page view. The site with the highest combination of users and page views is ranked #1.
Traffic rankings list entities at their top level domains only (e.g. domain.com). Subpages within a domain (e.g. www.domain.com/subpage.html) or subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) are not ranked separately unless they are identified as personal home pages or blogs.

"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is
above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father." Philippians 2:9-11
Suggested Further Reading: John 17:1-5
Look at him! Can your imagination picture him? Behold his transcendent glory!
The majesty of kings is swallowed up; the pomp of empires dissolves like the
white mist of the morning before the sun; the brightness of assembled armies
is eclipsed. He in himself is brighter than the sun, more terrible than armies
with banners. See him! See him! Oh! Hide your heads, you monarchs; put away
your gaudy pageantry, you lords of this poor narrow earth! His kingdom knows
no bounds; without a limit his vast empire stretches out itself. Above him all
is his; beneath him many a step are angels, and they are his; and they cast
their crowns before his feet. With them stand his elect and ransomed, and
their crowns too are his. And here upon this lower earth stand his saints, and
they are his, and they adore him; and under the earth, among the infernals,
where devils growl their malice, even there is trembling and adoration; and
where lost spirits, with wailing and gnashing of teeth for ever lament their
being, even there, there is the acknowledgement of his Godhead, even though
the confession helps to make the fire of their torments. In heaven, in earth,
in hell, all knees bend before him, and every tongue confesses that he is God.
If not now, yet in the time that is to come this shall be carried out, that
every creature of God's making shall acknowledge his Son to be "God over all,
blessed for ever. Amen." Oh! My soul anticipates that blessed day, when this
whole earth shall bend its knee before its God willingly! I do believe there
is a happy era coming, when there shall not be one knee unbent before my Lord
and Master.
For meditation: FOR MEDITATION: Those who refuse to acknowledge the Lord Jesus
Christ in this life (2 John 7) will be forced to acknowledge him in the
next—but it will be too late to do them any good. Those who trust in him now
will enjoy praising him for ever.
Sermon no. 101 / 2 November (1856) – Charles Spurgeon

North Chicago police and the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force are investigating the deaths of two young children from the same family within four months, police announced.
Six-month-old Desire Thompson died on Dec. 28 last year and her half-brother, 3-year-old Tyquan Thompson, died on May 6. "Undetermined cause" was listed in both deaths, Lake County Coroner Artis Yancey said.
The deaths are "still under investigation" and authorities are "looking into all leads," North Chicago Interim Police Chief James Jackson said.
No suspects have been named in the investigation, Jackson said.
"There is a lot of evidence that was sent to the Northeastern Illinois Crime Lab," he said. "The Lake County Major Crimes Task Force became the lead investigators in May 2012 as a result of their expertise."
George Filenko, commander of the task force and police chief in Round Lake Park, declined to comment.

From Moonlighting to Moonrise Kingdom, Bruce Willis has made a career of confounding audiences. Here's a guy who can shoot 'em up with the best of the Arnolds and the Slys—yippee-ki-yayyyy!—and then twee it up, all sensitive and vulnerable, for Wes Anderson. The result? One of the weirdest bodies of work (in a good way) of any A-list actor in Hollywood. Michael Hainey sits down with Willis in London and finds a man who's old enough to have some thoughts on where he's been—and young enough to care a lot more about where he's going
He comes into the room with that smile on his face. The smile that is the smile of that dude you knew in high school who nobody thought would amount to much but somehow stumbled his way into becoming a kajillionaire by investing in some chain of party bars like Señor Frog's and now saunters over to shake your hand as you sit on a sofa in his McMansion. The smile that says, "Dude, I know—can you friggin' believe this? Me, neither. But hey, someone's gotta live the life. Brewski?"
The McMansion is not in South Jersey, where Willis grew up, nor is it in Beverly Hills. This one is tucked away in a quiet corner of Mayfair, London, where Willis is shooting Red 2 (what? you never saw Red?), which will be his seventy-third movie in a film career that started in 1987 opposite Kim Basinger in Blind Date and has now yielded everything from Pulp Fiction to The Sixth Sense to 12 Monkeys to The Bonfire of the Vanities to Moonrise Kingdom. And of course, there's that ur-franchise that was born twenty-five years ago, Die Hard, the fifth installment of which crashed into theaters on Valentine's Day. Willis is 57 now, remarried to a British model and with a new baby, but still dresses like the off-duty bartender he once was—back when he was mixing drinks on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, before he got his break on Moonlighting: black jeans and a gray long-sleeve T-shirt, over which he's pulled a short-sleeve black T-shirt. Black socks. No shoes. He wiggles his toes a lot.
"Yeah," Willis says, looking around the house, "when it comes time to go on location, they show you pictures of houses on a computer and you pick one, blind." He puts a palm to his hairless head, half-cracks his neck, scans the surroundings with a slight scowl, and says, "Never sure about that."
We're in some anteroom that's supposed to pass for a library. But there's just a handful of books placed here and there on the shelves. Mostly expensive-looking art books. There's a fireplace—gas—and Willis considers it for a moment.
"How do you think you turn this on?" he asks.
He feels around on the side of the chimney, finally finds a button. A dull flame sputters awake, artificial warmth. There are two couches, face-to-face. Willis plops down, stretches out, looks at the flame. He stares at it for what seems like minutes. Finally, speaking to the fire, he says, "So, what's up? What do you think of London? I'm still trying to figure it out. But I love the history here. Meanwhile, those kids William and Kate are going to have a baby. That's nice."
GQ: Think about that mother-son dynamic between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles...
**Bruce Willis: ** The idea of my mom being in charge of the country for the last sixty years would be [laughs]...shocking.
GQ: Is there a period in history you wish you could have lived in?
Bruce Willis: I would go a little forward. I'd like to see that. I'd also like to see what the pilgrimage from the East Coast to California was like. Fly over it. I think it would be very drastic. You've got to go catch whatever you're going to put on the table that night. You've got to go find some water. You've got to be warm. _[Pauses. Looks into the fire for a few moments.] _I can't even figure my job out. I can't figure out the proper metaphor to try to explain what it is I do, even to my kids. I can't get it into a nice, cozy box—"This is what I do, and this is why." I still like it—you can't beat the dough. But I'm sure there will be some kind of penance. The Catholic side of me—not that I am Catholic, but—just assumes that there's going to be a bill to pay. I don't know, maybe I should be doing something else, but I don't know what it would be.
GQ: Are there different moves you would have made in your career? Like, for instance, you started in the theater.
Bruce Willis: I'd like to go and do theater. It seems like a more reasonable job, more manageable.
**You should do Beckett. Beckett is the thinking man's Three Stooges. You have a love for that kind of withering, destruction-based comedy, and Beckett has that kind of futility, but it's beautiful. **
Bruce Willis: Stooges and pageantry. I love the Stooges. I love 'em all, but Larry is my favorite. He had his own physical things that he was very good at, but he always teed it up. Are you a Stooges fan? How can you not be?
**GQ: I have formative memories of watching them with my brother. The Stooges teach you about life. They socialize you for manhood. **
Bruce Willis: Any guy who wants to have a well-rounded man life is not complete until he accepts the mechanics and zaniness of the Stooges. I no longer try to explain it to women.
GQ: What are your favorite Stooges lines?
Bruce Willis: Any version of [affecting the voice of Larry] "Say, what are you gonna do with that?" because it's about to happen. The math of that line is about to happen to Larry. [Pauses. Tries to stretch out on the couch for a moment; decides he can't get comfortable. Sits back up, that smile still on his face.] Well, you've got me smiling now. It's kind of funny and kind of violent.
GQ: You learn it when you're 5 years old: Comedy is someone else in pain. You know a perfect example of violence as comedy? _Pulp Fiction. _When I saw it for the first time, I didn't know the Gimp scene was being played for laughs.
Bruce Willis: Dark laughs. That was great writing married to frightening violence. Just death everywhere. The timing of what gets said and what happens in the "This has been a very weird day" joke, which goes on and on. There's romance in that for me. Drugs, violence, great writing. [Pauses. Tries again to lie down/stretch out. Gives up again.]** **I still laugh about those things now. Me seeing Ving Rhames on the street, and then what happens is way past the normal.
GQ: You guys have ball gags on. That's putting yourself in a very vulnerable state, re your career. If that scene doesn't work... Did you ever think of that?
Bruce Willis: No... Those were a couple of dark days of shooting. Grim. There's a little scene of me gagging with that ball in my mouth, and Quentin said, "Do you want to stop for a minute?" And I said, _[makes a sound as _though he has a ball gag in his mouth].
GQ: That scene where Ving is paying you to take a dive—it's incredible, because for maybe two solid minutes, the camera looks only at you. It is a scene that is all about your stillness. When people think of your work, it's easy to think it is all big, loud movies. Yet I see a lot of stillness.
Bruce Willis: It's in the toolbox now, stillness. When you're still—that's when actors start giving away dialogue. It seems like you are being gracious, giving someone else your lines, but it's an old trick. If others are speaking, the camera wants to see you act—and react. Steve McQueen used to try to give everyone his dialogue. In that scene with Ving, I was determined to just be listening, thinking about the crime and what we were doing in real time. Being present.
GQ: When was the first time you performed?
Bruce Willis: Some Cub Scout show. I did little skits you would probably find in the Cub Scout handbook. Little tricks. Like a vaudeville gag where you pretend to show the audience that you're mixing up something, and then at the last minute it's like you're going to throw it on the audience, but it's just the oatmeal, not the oatmeal and the paint and all that. It got a big laugh, and I thought, "This is it." The Cub Scout years, I had a terrible stutter. But then I did some theater somewhere, probably in high school. And when I memorized words, I didn't stutter, which was just miraculous. That was the beginning of the gradual dispelling of my stutter. I thought I was handicapped. I couldn't talk at all. I still stutter around some people now.
GQ: But then you were also the student-body president in high school.
Bruce Willis: To be elected class president was an honor. [laughs]
GQ: You had to give speeches, right?
Bruce Willis: Yeah, I said a few things. It was probably just something to make people laugh. In the previous years, everyone was really taking it seriously. By the time we got to be seniors, we just wanted to smoke weed and not go to meetings.
GQ: Are you sober these days?
Bruce Willis: I had been sober [for a while]. But once I realized that I wasn't gonna run myself off the pier of life with alcohol, drinking vodka out of the bottle every day... I have wine now, mostly when I eat.
GQ: I'm curious about how Moonrise Kingdom happened. It seems like another unconventional Willis choice. And yet to me, you're the heart of that film. And, again, there's a quietness and a stillness and a soulfulness there.
Bruce Willis: How it happened was, it was a year where there were a lot of directors I knew I wanted to work with. That year I worked with Stephen Frears, Wes Anderson, Rian Johnson, all on little, different kinds of films. How [Anderson] shoots is a very different editorial process. He aims the camera at a big thing, and the actors walk in and walk out, or something happens in the center of the frame until the frame changes. So much of that story was dictated by the fact that it was set in the '60s—it was a period piece. And the wardrobe was already chosen for us. They just said, "You're going to wear this. Here's the shirt and the socks, here are the glasses." I said, "Well, all right. And is it okay if I wear this wig, to kind of age up a little bit?" And he said, "Yeah, okay. That works." His original template for the look of my character was McGeorge Bundy.
GQ: Well, you had his glasses.
Bruce Willis: Yeah. I said, "If I can wear these glasses, I know what to do." They gave me a way to look at the world. The glasses were key. I've been reading a lot of—I read a lot anyway, but—I've been reading a lot, in Europe. What's that book by that TV Fox guy?
GQ: Bill O'Reilly?
Bruce Willis: Yeah. He wrote about the assassination of Lincoln and the assassination of JFK. I learned more things from him and his story of JFK than I ever knew. Bill O'Reilly is a great researcher. Whatever you think about his character that he plays in the news, he's a great researcher.
GQ: How old were you when Kennedy was shot?
Bruce Willis: Eight or 9? My sister and two brothers and I walked around the house, reenacting the funeral procession. We had a wagon and some blankets. What else are you supposed to do? I didn't really know what had happened, just that the grown-ups were crying.
**GQ: Speaking of parents, that's one more thing from Pulp Fiction. The father's watch. What are those talismans in your life? **
_Before Willis can answer, his wife, Emma __Heming-Willis, enters, carrying a mug of coffee __and their 8-month-old daughter, Mabel, who is wearing cashmere head to toe. Willis stands up and cradles his daughter in his arms, nuzzles his bald head against her head. Two chrome domes, across generations. Willis kisses his daughter __and then smiles at Emma, who points at __the fireplace and expresses surprise that __he figured it out. After a moment, Willis reluctantly returns Mabel to her mother, __and Emma hands Willis the mug. Then __she turns and walks toward the kitchen. _
All right. Thanks for the coffee. I love you. [pauses] My father had a tradition that I picked up. He had this little plastic version of a trunk, and he kept his cuff links in it, little stuff like that. And the first time I saw it, when I was a kid, I just thought that was great. Upstairs somewhere there's a little box with all my junk—the first earring I wore, like that. I'm not going to throw that away, because I'm sure someone will find that amazing later. But maybe not. I may just be doing it for myself.
GQ: What advice would you give to someone who asked?
Bruce Willis: I recently heard one of my fellow actors say it in three words: "Just shut up." Just go silent. Maybe it's being older; maybe that's just a tiny tag of wisdom, that you've got to think about something before you say something. I once thought that somehow, with this job, also comes the inherent right to say whatever the fuck I want regardless of whether I'm right or wrong or think that anybody needs to hear it or should hear it.
Another thing that I heard whispered by another actor is "You've got to do the hard stuff first." Do the big scene first, and then you can do the small scenes and have fun. It's great advice for life. I say it to my kids: Do the hard stuff first. Then you can go and do whatever you want to do.
GQ: Do you have any goals left?
Bruce Willis: To keep it looking lifelike.** **In the past few months, I've read a lot about Old Hollywood—Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy, Audrey Hepburn, William Holden. Every story is that everyone was struggling. Everyone was flailing wildly. And it's kind of reassuring, because if you only see the performance, it's easy to associate that person with their work. Cary Grant was referring to himself as "Cary Grant the actor. That's not me." He would make a big difference between those two things.
GQ: What's that line he has—"Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant."
Bruce Willis: ** **"And someday I might." Yeah. [pauses] What's the last really funny movie you saw?
GQ: Maybe Superbad?
Bruce Willis: I liked Superbad... It would take me a long time to think what the last funny movie I saw was. Moonlighting was kind of screwball comedy. Talk real fast. Be funny. Cary Grant sent us a note.
GQ: He sent you a note?
Bruce Willis: Because he watched Moonlighting. It was awesome...yeah. I remember, back then, in my hubris, thinking everyone wants to see me. I called Barbara Stanwyck at the L'Ermitage hotel, where she was spending the later years of her life. She says, "Who is this?" Very cranky. [affecting a meek voice] "It's Bruce Willis. I was just calling to say that I'm such a huge fan—" "Oh. Okay. Thank you." My hubris exceeded my understanding of not bothering people. I don't make those calls so much anymore.
GQ: Is that a tattoo on your finger? It looks very 12 Monkeys-like. Like some kind of ID.
Bruce Willis: It's a tattoo of the month and date that I got married to my wife, the mother of my child. It just seemed like a little thing I wanted to have there.
GQ: Complete this sentence: If I live long enough, I...
Bruce Willis: ...should approach a bigger task than I approach now.
GQ: What does that mean?
Bruce Willis: The work that I do. If you know you only have a certain amount of time left, what would be the best thing you could possibly do with that time? That's a good question. I don't know. I do question the whimsicalness of this profession.** **It's a great job to have the task of trying to entertain people. But if you've read any of the Marlon Brando stuff, you know it's no job for a grown man.
GQ: Would you ever do a Cary Grant and retire? It seems like actors don't retire anymore.
Bruce Willis: Well, I have to stop doing it at some point, and I would like to do it with the same grace that he did. Who's another actor who continued to work? Eastwood is still doing it. And he's still doing great, telling stories. Telling stories is a way to make money.
GQ: Is there a part of you that feels like you're in conflict with this thing, your career?
Bruce Willis: I'd like to think that I have some control over it and that I could choose. I'm sanguine about it.
**GQ: There is the image of "Bruce Willis," but what will resonate with people who read this interview is that you're not John McClane. It's more like "Hey, guess what, kids? I'm a 57-year-old guy, and it doesn't matter if you're making movies or working in an office, you wonder about your life. Your purpose." That's the eternal unifier here. **
Bruce Willis: Yes. And nobody wants to hear this bad news, but we're all dying on some level. I'm going to try to keep the machine moving forward as much as possible and not have to think about the eventuality of becoming more frail and less able to do the work. I know that I'm not going into politics. That's not an option. I was asked, and I said, "Did you hear any of the stuff about me when I was a kid?"
GQ: Would you really do something like that?
Bruce Willis: Maybe on a smaller level?
**GQ: Mayor of Carmel? **
Bruce Willis: Something where you can make the town a little better. That idea of trying to help someone and not fuck it up.
GQ: Maybe you're going to punch me in the face for saying this, but I've noticed some pretty interesting parallels here, between you and Clint Eastwood and the arcs of your careers: You both started on TV shows; then, while on hiatus from the shows, you both shot movies that made your careers.
Bruce Willis: I did not know that.
**GQ: But check this: You are now 57, making your fifth Die Hard. Eastwood made his fifth and final Dirty Harry when he was 57. **
Bruce Willis: I like that.
**GQ: One could say, like Eastwood, you make it look too easy. People take it for granted how hard it is to play these characters, Dirty Harry and John McClane. **
Bruce Willis: Mel Gibson also fits that mold, of having an awareness that everybody thinks we're just fucking around. But it does require a method to your good fortune.
GQ: You've said that you think your best work is ahead of you. Maybe it is. For most of his career, Eastwood was seen as just a journeyman actor. He wasn't nominated for an Oscar until he was 62.
Bruce Willis: It's like fire, right? You take fire for granted. Fire runs the house, keeps the house warm. Have a little fireplace right here. But if we were never given the gift of fire, nobody would go, "Ah, wish I had some fire." Cary Grant? No Oscar, except for the one that they created to give to him. [pauses] I don't think about it too much. It just always has seemed whimsical to me, to think about it. You don't get an Oscar for comedy, and you don't get it for shooting people. You get it for novelty, for being fascinating to watch in some character role. But the Die Hard stuff and Dirty Harry are all fraught with the same thing that every story is fraught with.
The middle years to now makes me start to think that there should come a time when I should not work so much. I don't question other actors in their age and what they do; I just think, "Wow, they're still fucking great." They're still doing it. There are movies where if I know Anthony Hopkins is in it, I'll go see it. I'm still a fan of films, I still go to movies. I just saw Argo. It's fantastic.
These five [Die Hard] films are all fine films. You can see me and what was on my mind, how I said it, in 1988. That year that I got to do Die Hard because of Cybill Shepherd's impending pregnancy, I caught that little window. I had been told by my then girlfriend, "You can't do this! This is too violent!" By then I'd also considered _Lethal Weapon. _I had a shot at that, too. She told me, "It's too violent! This isn't what you should be doing!" So in the same year, I ended up doing a couples comedy _[Blind Date] _and violence.
GQ: And now we're back to the Three Stooges.
Bruce Willis: Good bad guys you can't do without.
GQ: What's your favorite book?
Bruce Willis: Maybe The Hobbit. That guy has created his own little religion, his own little world. And I think it was great escapism. I just went back and read it again. I always said that it would make a great film. But no film can live up to the images you have in your head when you're 16 or 17 years old and caught up in the noble actions of the characters.
GQ: Was that book a comfort to you?
Bruce Willis: It was something I could do by myself.
**GQ: What's your epitaph going to be? **
Bruce Willis: Hmm. Fatherhood's not a bad gig. Epic stuff... I'm not sure. Did you mean, like, a film that's epic...?
**GQ: No, I'm sorry. I mumbled. I said, What will your _epitaph _be? **
Bruce Willis: I think that's something that's better for someone else to come up with.
**GQ: You're an actor—you're used to someone else writing the lines. **
Bruce Willis: Yeah. I'm not sure that I have that information.
GQ: Do you have a motto?
Bruce Willis: "Live and let live" is the closest I have. It works for pretty much everything. It has comic aspects to it and it has the real-deal aspects to it. It fits the Stooges.
Michael Hainey_ is GQ's deputy editor and the author of the new memoir _After Visiting Friends: A Son's Story.

I found an article this morning describing a different approach to syntax highlighting. The idea looks great but I wonder, how would you go about implementing this in ST? Is it even possible via a plugin?
Here's the article: medium.com/p/3a6db2743a1e/
Semantic highlighting would make me gladly pay for sublime text 3
To change the colors, you have to recreate the syntax file. If you wanted to do that, say, once/second, it might just work.
Thanks! This is what I was wondering. I didn't think the API had anything to control colors of specific blocks of text so any plugin would have to do this syntax file rewriting/reloading. Good to know.
Appears to be a thing? github.com/mazurov/sublime-levels
go get my plugin or in package control as Colorcoder AAAAALSO what does one need to do to get his password reseted in this place?
You need to threaten Jon to implement an email server so that the server can send out password reset mails, I guess.
Colorcoder is good !
While this thread seems to be about how to achieve this in Sublime, I would like hear opinions on if this is a great idea or not. Spontaneously it seems interesting and logical idea. But...
when I try to read the code in the rainbow coloured samples I find them slightly hurtful to my eyes. IMHO you do not always look for every identifier in the code, you look for one. So you select it and every instance of that gets highlighted. Much more readable (to me) and we already have it in our editor. : )
I think the biggest benefit would be to spot certain typos more readily without having to select something first. I also think this type of highlighting would work well on top of a more neutral color scheme for the regular syntax stuff we're already used to. I've thought about experimenting with that but for now I'm going to see how semantic highlighting feels for a few days.
true when the colors are too bright and interfere with other theme colors, i for one disabled any keyword highlighting and dimmed the colors a bit. one could also reduce the saturation to be just a tint apart from normal text color.
biggest benefit i see is one develops a feel for the data flow, kinda hard to explain but you start to watch for color patterns which is easier than looking for words
For me, the best is to have syntax highlighting in general (for the whole file). Than having the possibility of selecting part of the code, for example one function, and change it to semantic highlighting for that part. In that case it is even possible to change the whole file to semantic highlighting by selecting the whole file. This would give us all in one!
i could do this, placing it onto roadmap for somewhen
Colorcoder is very impressive.I found on my system I had to adjust the shading number to 0.6 0.44, but now it's nice.
Is there a way to use Colorcoder with GoSublime?I've set the default for .go files to go (Colorcoder),** is there a GoSublime (Colorcoder**) ?
Nope but you can add the support yourself and send a pull request. I got somewhat little time atm to add colorcoder support to most languages, also i am not that good in tmLanguage magic
Installation of ColorCoder just rendered my ST3 unresponsive. Had to kill it. But after restart it seems to work (I'm Pythonista)
Nope. Just had this popping up:
so I guess it's not ready yet for production.

RRG Consulting needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
RRG Consulting - Auctions & Marketing http://www.RobinReedGroup.com
Hello Designers,
We are excited you're here and hope you'll consider our project! This is our first time at 99Designs.com so take it easy on us as we hope to return with other businesses and bring you folks more work.
We are a Texas-based real estate auction company that is free to homeowners. Our strategy and value is simple: We take a VACANT home that is for sale, completely stage it with items such as hand-made rugs, beautiful furniture, decorations, paintings, bronzes and sometimes even an antique car. We then market a live auction at the house for the weekend, therefore drawing 100-200 people to and through the house. It's an excellent marketing strategy because we're 100% FREE to use and we handle all the expenses for the event.
SELLERS - Owners of property that are trying to sell. We need testimonials and to communicate that we are a legitimate option to sell the home FREE of charge and we maintain the home.
BUYERS - People that are either looking for bargain property or want to bid on the movable property such as rugs, paintings, furniture or decorations and need scheduling information.
REALTORS - We want Realtors to feel good about presenting us to their clients as a marketing option in selling the listing quickly and cheaply. I mainly need to communicate that we are 100% legit. We handle all clean up, we're safe, legal and will make them look good.
I also like the idea of changing the names of these 3 audiences to something more modern or chic.
Instead of "Buyer", use "Acquire" or "Attend".
Instead of "Realtor", use "Transact".
Instead of "Seller", use "Homeowner"
I may need a little help with this idea and I don't want to LOSE my audience in this effort but if you hip designers can think of something, bring it on.
One of the most important topics to convey is our auctions are NOT a distressed scenario. Nobody got foreclosed on, bankrupt or died but rather we're a fun way to sell a home and/or get a bargain piece of furniture on a weekend afternoon.
This is bargain property because we have motivated sellers. This is bargain goods because we acquire our items straight from manufacturers with no retail store expense.
I need something very clean, professional and crisp that conveys authority and builds confidence but I don't want "traditional" or "old world" design.
Sections: (In addition to what is currently there)
Schedule of upcoming events
Contact section to the right where someone can enter their info or make comments.
The square logo is our Facebook logo and needs to be removed. This needs to be changed to a simple title that says, "Real Estate Auctions".
The home page must first convey our NEXT auction. The main (probably top) navigation will include our 3 target audiences of Sellers, Buyers and Realtors. You can keep all the other tabs on top and bottom and maybe even group them together in a drop down.
http://www.RobinReedGroup.com - initially designed to be a site for a residential real estate agency but our business model changed.
The site was never completed in functionality and needs to be re-designed for auction event marketing since this is our main business.
I like the overall look and feel, colors, fonts, etc and it matches our stationery package.
This is how we're currently scheduling our auctions:
And a Facebook Fan page: (Austin Real Estate)
http://www.realestateauctions.com/ - I like how this site uses the entire screen. I also like the rotating pictures of homes in auction. We like the idea of having our NEXT upcoming auction with date and details as the first thing a visitor sees. I also like all the shadowing and "depth" of site. This is probably the closest site that represents what I want.
I like the broker registration page at - http://www.realestateauctions.com/i…=agent_reg
http://www.grandestatesauction.com/ - Great property auction site that is more fitting to what we do. We would like to duplicate this in functionality only with our colors and theme. I also like the 2 boxes that ask the questions, "Thinking about Selling?" and "How Does Auctions Work?" and maybe adding an additional one that engages Realtors such as "Are You A Realtor?".
http://www.traiman.com/ - I like the "Join Our Email List" (to be notified of upcoming auctions. (although we believe this needs to have a "benefit" or "hook" to engage the visitor to complete the form) We'll be using our CRM of Infusionsoft.com to control the action sequence and maintain the relationship.
http://www.conciergeauctions.com/ - Very crisp and professional.

- United States Grand Prix
Start could throw up surprises
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Lewis Hamilton
- |
- Nico Hülkenberg
- |
- Pastor Maldonado
- |
- Kimi Räikkönen
F1 drivers are facing several unknowns at the start of the United States Grand Prix with a slot on the dirty side of the grid likely to cost a position or two due to a lack of grip and the tight apex of the first corner holding the potential for a big accident.
On Saturday Felipe Massa said his practice start on the dirty side of the grid was worse than a start in the wet, while the wide but blind first corner will present several options as drivers take different lines.
Asked about his practice start on the dirty side of the grid, Lewis Hamilton, who will start from second on the dirty side, said: "It was really poor and I barely went anywhere. They need to clean the inside because it's just as slippery as when we started driving yesterday [Friday]. The rest of the track is bedding in now and it's getting much better, but that part of the track is untouched and it's like the pit lane where there is no grip at all. We don't know what they can do but they can at least clean it."
Pastor Maldonado said the getaway from the grid will then dictate whether a driver stays tight in turn one or goes for the wider line.
"We need to see how the start comes and then make a decision in the first corner. Everyone is waiting for a big accident there but I think it's quite clear. It's very wide, even if the corner is quite tight there is a lot of space. For sure it will be hard. That corner is very slow and for sure it is better to be on the inside and in the middle of the corner, but if you have all the drivers in the inside slowing down you will gain some positions on the outside. But it's not easy because the lack of grip is so poor."
In a couple of the support races this weekend the inside of the corner has become congested and contact has been made, but Kimi Raikkonen believes there is no reason for an accident if everybody behaves sensibly.
"Every circuit has a difficult first corner and this is not the most difficult one. There are a lot more circuits that have more tricky corners, but it only needs somebody who is a bit too excited or optimistic and the accident will happen. But it can happen anywhere and I don't see this being a problem."
Nico Hulkenberg agreed: "It's the first time we all go through there but if we're sensible there should be no problems. Monza is way tighter off the straight, so it's nothing new to us but it is the first time we do it here. But we don't expect any particular problems."
