Greatest. Indie-est. Band. Ever.
Pavement made some of the finest, most influential slacker noise of the '90s, racking up an almost obscene amount of critical love along the way. Now, a decade after their final show, Stephen Malkmus and his old bandmates are once again about to rock. Chuck Klosterman salutes them
"I suppose you don't like sports, do you?" This is what Stephen Malkmus—the enigmatic architect of Pavement—asks me as he sits in a Thai-sandwich restaurant, waiting for his bacon. He is casually pawing at a local Portland alternative newspaper that features Trail Blazer Greg Oden on the cover; it's the day before Thanksgiving, so Oden's patella is still unexploded. Malkmus seems slightly (but unspecifically) annoyed—his wife's parents are in town for the holidays, he's just spent the last ninety minutes at a school party for his 6-year-old daughter, and now he has to waste two hours with some bozo who probably doesn't know why Greg Oden is interesting. He keeps his head down as he speaks. At this moment, Stephen Malkmus looks so much like Stephen Malkmus that it seems like sarcasm. In fact, he looks like someone playing Stephen Malkmus in an ill-conceived Cameron Crowe movie: He's unshaven, he's wearing Pony high-tops that no longer exist on the open market, and his baseball cap promotes the Silver Jews. His T-shirt features the logo of the Joggers, a Portland band whose greatest claim to fame is being mentioned in a GQ story about Stephen Malkmus eating at a Thai-sandwich shop. The restaurant is loud, so I initially mishear his question. He asks it again.
"I said, I suppose you don't like sports." I tell him that I do like sports. I tell him that—honestly—I'm probably more qualified to talk with him about sports than I am to talk with him about Pavement. Immediately, everything changes. He's no longer irritated, except when I suggest that Greg Olden might be no better than Erick Dampier. For the next forty-five minutes, we discuss our respective fantasy teams, pretty much nonstop. I cannot exaggerate the degree to which Malkmus enjoys fantasy sports; he almost seems to like them more than music. His fantasy football team was devastated by the loss of Ronnie Brown to injury, but he's stayed in the playoff hunt by picking up Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice. ("You could just immediately tell he was going to be Favre's guy.") The most productive player on his NBA team is under-publicized Pacers forward Danny Granger, but he's more satisfied about stealing the Nets' Chris Douglas-Roberts off the waiver wire. Malkmus does not watch the NHL, yet he still participates in a fantasy hockey league. He's that kind of guy. I don't even try to talk with him about rotisserie baseball.
After almost an hour has passed, I realize we need to start talking about music, partially because that's the motive for this story but mostly because Pavement is a band worth talking about. We leave the restaurant and jump in his Audi; he rolls a cigarette with a Dutch brand of tobacco called Samson. I notice that Malkmus does not wear a seat belt, nor does he tell me to wear mine. I am immediately more comfortable.
The original plan was to meet at Malkmus's home and talk about the upcoming Pavement reunion shows, four of which sold out in New York a full twelve months in advance. (The worldwide tour begins this month in New Zealand.) Malkmus meets me at the front door and says, "Okay, here's the new plan. I'm sure you can roll with the new plan. My daughter has this Thanksgiving feast at her school, right? And I'm going to go there for an hour. Do you like coffee? Actually, that doesn't matter. I will meet you at a coffeehouse in an hour." He gives me directions to the coffeehouse, and that is where I go. I get the sense that Malkmus is very accustomed to telling people what to do; he's polite, but he speaks in clear, direct sentences. When he shows up at the coffeehouse a hundred minutes later, the first thing he tells me is that—despite the aforementioned school feast—he's still hungry. "It was potluck," he says. "I don't eat potluck." We drive to the Thai place; he buys a $9 bacon-oriented sandwich.
After we talk about sports, I try to persuade him to take me back to his house. "It's kind of crazy over there right now," he says. "Maybe not today." We decide to go to a park instead. I try to talk about music on the drive over, but Malkmus wants to talk about books. He just returned from a festival in Holland and Belgium that featured both musicians and authors, and he talks about whom he saw—Nick Kent ("My wife really loved his Stones books when she was in college"), Denis Johnson ("He's got a lot to be proud of"), a slightly drunk Jay McInerney ("He looks exactly like his author photo"). Malkmus is more gossipy than one might expect—he's never cruel, but he likes to talk about how an artist's persona is both detached and irrevocably tied to how his art is consumed. He likes to talk about authors the way Pavement fans like to talk about Pavement.
There's an inherent problem with writing about Pavement: People tend to know nothing or everything about them. To most of the populace, they were a band with a funny name, one minor MTV hit (1994's "Cut Your Hair"), and a lot of abstract credibility among people who get mad at the radio. But to the kind of hyperintellectual, underemployed people who did not find it strange to buy concert tickets a year in advance—and who will buy the band's upcoming greatest-hits release even if they already have all the tracks—Pavement are the apotheosis of indie aesthetics, the "finest rockband of the '90s," according to former Village Voice critic Robert Christgau. They are remembered as the musical center of the lo-fi era, a designation that's spiritually true but technically wrong.¹ Over the span of five albums and nine EPs, Pavement became a decade-defining band, widely regarded as essential and game changing (at least among those who cared). Malkmus is completely aware of this. This being the case, I return to our discussion about Jay McInerney: Since just about everyone now concedes that McInerney's self-perception as a writer was adversely impacted by the avalanche of criticism he received in the years following Bright Lights, Big City, I ask Malkmus if he's had the opposite experience: Does being endlessly told you're a genius make you feel like one? Did having so many people insist that Slanted and Enchanted was brilliant change the way he now thinks about those songs?
"Of course it does, in a way. But no matter how much positive feedback you get, it's never enough," Malkmus says. "I'm not a particularly needy person, but it always seems like every review could be better. With a record like Slanted and Enchanted, that was so much a timing thing, along with the fact that its flaws are a big part of what makes it good. It's not like some Radiohead record, where the whole thing is good. Our records aren't good in that way. Our records are more attitude and style, sort of in a punk way. We're good in the same way the Strokes are good. I think Slanted and Enchanted probably is the best record we made, only because it's less self-conscious and has an unrepeatable energy about it."
- Lo-fi is an abbreviation of the term low fidelity, and fidelity means how faithful something sounds when compared with its original source. In truth, albums from bands like the Electric Light Orchestra and Def Leppard have a much lower fidelity than anything Pavement produced, as those recordings have no relationship to what a living, breathing band could sound like live. A better term for Pavement would actually be mid-fi, because their material falls somewhere between amateur authenticity and imaginative construction. But—as always—technical reality rarely matters when discussing pop music. Whenever a normal person says he prefers lo-fi music, it means he prefers bands like Pavement: imperfect sound forevermore.
Two years later, Pavement teetered on the edge of mainstream success with 1994's Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, but that didn't last—their following project (Wowee Zowee) drove them back into experimental semi-obscurity. Since the band's dissolution in 1999, Malkmus has recorded four solo albums with a backing band called the Jicks. He plans to record a fifth Jicks album in 2010. Much of this solo material is competitive with anything he made with Pavement. However, it's pretty clear Malkmus does not believe that. Not completely.
"I barely think about music anymore," he says, although somebody must have come up with the songs on those Jicks albums. "I have other interests now. ADD things, like fantasy sports. Things I can think about while thinking about something else, as opposed to songwriting, where you have to focus really hard on what you're doing. That's not the only reason people make inferior music when they're older, but it's probably a factor. Your ambition and confidence change. It's not right to say any music I make now is not going to be as good as music I made when I was younger, but it's probably not going to be as intense. I'm not going to yell as loud—figuratively or literally. I used to drunkenly yell on a record. I wouldn't do that again. I played some Pavement songs when I was in Holland, and when I got to the part at the end of 'Range Life' [which mocks the Smashing Pumpkins and Stone Temple Pilots], I just didn't feel like singing those words. It seems so dated now. At the time, it was an attempt to be topical, kind of like an ironic rap song and a way to make fun of the whole indie 'We're cool, you're not cool' thing. But I probably wouldn't do that now."
I like Pavement. I suppose I really like Pavement. But I don't love them, or at least not in the way every smart rock critic I've ever met seems to love them. Very often, I don't understand the band's intentions. So I tried an experiment. I asked various Pavement fanatics one question: "What is Pavement's music about?" I then posed these answers to Malkmus and asked if he agreed or disagreed with the analyses.
Theory One: Pavement is the musical equivalent of a boy trapped in a library with all his favorite books and records, and that boy decides to spend the rest of his life writing music about his interior world.
"That's nice. That makes our music seem like a curatorial ercise, and that's kind of true. But we have a relationship to the outside world that had an impact, too. That theory discounts the physicality of the music."
Theory Two: Pavement is a synthesis of everything that was compelling about '80s indie rock, only performed at a higher level. The lyrics are nonessential, and Malkmus is overrated as a lyricist—but he's underrated as a vocalist and a guitar player.
"That could be true. But I would add this: Even though we don't have classic, Bob Dylan lyrics, I think they have a tone that holds up better and is less cringeworthy than most other lyric writing. I don't think any of my lyrics are literal. The way somebody's voice sounds is much more important than how meaningful the words are."
Theory Three: Pavement is about class dynamics. Malkmus was raised in the affluent community of Stockton, California, and he could have pursued any life he wanted—yet he chose to pursue an art form that typically represents the disenfranchised underclass. Pavement's music is about reconciling that class dichotomy.
"That's not true. The fact of the matter is, when we went to New York and the band was getting some attention for the first time, the scene we were in was really—well, at the time, I called it preppy-scum rock. That scene was populated by really rich people—Ivy League millionaire kids who were in punk bands and noise bands. But we always had jobs. When you get down to it, I was middle-class. I was upper-middle-class. My dad's an insurance broker. But there are no airs in central California. I had some relatives who became kind of wealthy through real estate, but they built their house to look like Tara from Gone with the Wind. They had Clydesdales! It wasn't classist. It wasn't classy. It was more like…new. I mean, I like Clydesdales, you can have Clydesdales if you want. But people in Westchester County aren't breeding Clydesdales, you know? The source material for our music had more to do with going to the University of Virginia. That was when I got into Can and the Clean and the Velvet Underground. Before that, I just liked dumb teenage punk. I thought Social Distortion was high art."
After an hour at the park, Malkmus needs to go home. As we walk back to his car, I try to ask the principal questions I need to ask: Why is Pavement reuniting now? Why is the band reuniting at all? I mention that this could actually hurt their legacy, since there's a certain romantic cachet to never coming back. "Oh yeah, I know," he says. I also mention, on the upside, that these massive sold-out concerts will allow Pavement to earn some of the money they never made when they were musically peaking. He says, "That's a consideration." I keep waiting for him to unleash some fake enthusiasm, because that's what musicians do whenever they're promoting something. And he tries. But he just can't make himself do it.
"I think people really want to do it. I… I want to do it. I mean, I don't want to be the person who only kind of wants to do it." Malkmus laughs. He knows he is not being particularly convincing. "Our booking agent had a lot to do with it. He's been pushing for it for a while. If we're going to do it, everyone says this is a good time. I suppose what I like about this whole reunion is the openness. Will it be fun for us? Will people in the audience have fun? Who knows? It's not like I'm gagging to get out there and play those songs, but I am curious to see what it will be like, and I'm curious to see the other guys and watch them play onstage again. I'm assuming it's going to be fun."
I ask if he has much of a relationship with the other members of Pavement; he says he does, but it's tenuous. The only member he consistently communicates with is multiinstrumentalist Bob Nastanovich, but that's mostly because they're in some of the same fantasy leagues. "Stephen is a pretty difficult guy to access," Nastanovich explains via telephone, calling from a racetrack in Illinois where he's working.² "If you're not in the same town with him, you don't really hear from him. I've found that the easiest way to get in touch with him, even if it's about a Pavement-related issue, is to propose a trade in one of our fantasy leagues and attach my question in an e-mail memo." Nastanovich is pretty open about the things he does not know about Pavement. "I have no idea why we're doing this now. I only talked to Stephen for about five or ten minutes about this reunion, and the only things he clarified was that I would need to be comfortable quitting my job, that I'd have to practice, and that I had to promise not to blow the money I made on horses."
- Nastanovich has a fascinating job: He does computer charting and analysis for the horse-racing industry, compiling data on both animals and jockeys. He's like the Elias Sports Bureau for Thoroughbreds. "Not everyone in Pavement needs a job," he says. "But I do."
Malkmus likes to say that Pavement is a democracy. But Pavement is a democracy the way the Replacements were a democracy, or the way Creedence Clearwater Revival was a democracy, or the way Zimbabwe is a democracy. The rest of the group have wanted to reunite for years; nobody has ever fully explained why they broke up in the firstplace. I phone guitarist Scott Kannberg and ask him about this. He tells me how much he misses playing their old songs. Kannberg (who performed in Pavement under the moniker Spiral Stairs) cryptically says they broke up because "Malkmus got tired of it" and feared the band would become a cliché. Whenever he talks about Malkmus, it feels like he's describing someone distant—someone he thinks about yet barely knows. He never even refers to him by his first name. "Maybe Pavement is just not as important to him as it is to me," Kannberg says toward the end of our conversation. "That's probably all it is. But I've come to accept that."
As soon as the Pavement reunion concludes, Kannberg says, he's moving to Australia. I ask if he would make another Pavement album if Malkmus decided he wanted to do so. "Absolutely," he said. "But I'd still move to Australia."
Kannberg's detached diffidence is easy to understand: Malkmus is a hard person to read. We talk a little about his wife, sculptor Jessica Jackson Hutchins, whose work will appear in the prestigious Whitney Biennial; he tells me their wedding song was "What Love Can Be," by Kingdom Come. I believe him, but I'm not sure if this indicates weird sincerity or next-level mockery. Sometimes he's amazingly straightforward, like when I ask if he thinks Pavement could have been bigger if that had been what they wanted. This was always the core criticism of the Pavement posture—some may remember an especially insightful episode of Beavis Butt-head wherein Beavis watches the "Cut Your Hair" video and implores the band to "try harder, dammit!" But they never did.
"If we had signed to Gold Mountain management, or if we had signed with Geffen, maybe Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain sells 750,000 copies instead of 250,000 copies. But it was really just the difference between being Pavement or being Weezer," Malkmus says. "I never had a great deal of confidence in my ability to write hits. There's a formula to that, and I'm not a good chorus writer. I'm better at the verses. Sometimes I don't even get to the chorus."
This feels like honesty, but it might just be conversational misdirection. Malkmus sometimes comes across as cagey because he doesn't like constructing fake answers to pointed questions. It's probably impossible to totally understand how he feels about Pavement or about this reunion in general. I think the closest he comes is when he's actually talking about something else: the experience of fatherhood.
"You just do it," he says. "There's not much time for self-absorption. It's great, because it's primal and sort of feels like the reason you're on earth. It's a deep part of life. But on the other hand, it's not that deep. It just happens. It's biology. And I assumed being a parent would be pretty hard, because I'm a pretty selfish person. It's hard for me to sacrifice anything or to take care of other people's needs. Our society is meant to work—or, say, capitalism is supposed to work—when everyone takes a little bit of what they want and gives something else back. But with a kid, it's not like that. There is no give-and-take. In theory, I suppose the idea is that you want to give yourself completely to your child, and then you'll get something back from that experience." He waits a beat and stares at nothing in particular, almost as if he's preparing to say something that will blow me away forever. Instead, I get this: "But that does not seem true when you want to sleep more." Which, I suppose, is about as honest as it gets.

Adam Levine Spotted With New Girlfriend
Some dudes have all the luck, like Maroon 5 singer and 'The Voice' coach Adam Levine. The Details cover boy just split with model girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna two months ago, but he's already moved on — and with another Victoria's Secret model, to boot. From one hot model to another? Adam Levine is no slouch in the dating department.
WENN reports that Levine was spotted smooching new lady love, Namibian model Behati Prinsloo, in Hawaii of all places. He was then spotted holding hands with her at the Mustard Seed Café in Los Angeles on Thursday (May 31.)
Squiring a model in Hawaii? Guys, don't you just want to be Adam Levine?
Levine and Anne V dated for two years and split somewhat shockingly in April. Since she and Prinsloo are both Victoria's Secret models, let's hope they don't run into each other at work functions and events, especially if Levine is on site.
Perhaps the 'Payphone' singer's explanation regarding his understanding of women, which he developed growing up in a house full of females, holds water. He shared his history and his theory in the Details feature, and it seems to be working for him, since he dates an endless parade of hot women!
"One of my theories on why I'm so capable of understanding women is that after my parents split, my mom moved in with her brother's ex-wife — my aunt — who was also newly single," he revealed. "So I was living in a house with two jilted women, plus my cousin, who's more like my sister, and my brother, Michael, who we eventually find out is gay. Just the estrogen alone . . . You know when you're 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn't suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls."

The Bisons had won two games Friday night as they earned the No. 2 seed in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.
In the final game of the regular season the Bisons continued their hot hitting, but managed only seven runs on 14 hits. ETSU answered with 13 hits. The Bisons were also plagued by four errors.
Senior right-hander Charles Williams (1-7) made his first start of the season in an Atlantic Sun series. He pitched five innings and allowed five hits and eight runs, only one earned. He also walked three and struck out three. Freshman right-hander Davey Hackett pitched one inning and gave only one hit. Senior reliever Kyle Tognazzini closed out the game. In two innings he scattered seven hits and gave up six runs, all earned. He walked one and struck out three.
The Bisons jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning. Andrew Nickerson hit a double to center field to open the inning. Chandler Wicks followed with a single to center that scored Nickerson. Allen Bolden hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring Wicks home.
ETSU answered with seven runs in the third inning and one in the fourth.
The Bisons came back with four in the sixth. Wicks and Clay Lehning both walked to start the inning. Channing Brown drove in Wicks with a single to left. With one out Bolden hit a single to right field to score Lehning. Branden Cadavid singled up the middle to plate Brown. Justin Sanders singled through the right side to score Bolden.
In the eighth the Bisons added one more run when Sanders singled to right field. He brought in Bolden who had reached based on a fielding error by the second baseman.
ETSU, which had four home runs in the game, finished the game strong offensively with four runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth. Sanders led with a game-high five hits which was also a season-high for the Bisons. Cadavid and Brown added three hits each. It was the first multi-hit game of the season for Brown.
The Bisons are 23-31, 17-13 in the A-Sun. ETSU is 24-27, 10-20 in the conference.

Exclusive Excerpt: Nobel Winner Mo Yan's 'Sandalwood Death'
Chinese writer Mo Yan was named the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature this morning, beating out better-known writers who had been thought to be frontrunners such as Haruki Murakami, Alice Munro and William Trevor.
Mo Yan, who has cited magical realist Gabriel Garcia Marquez as a strong influence, is a prolific author who writes in Chinese, and whose works are translated into multiple languages. One of his books, "Sandalwood Death," (published as "Tanxiangxing" in Chinese in 2001) will be published in English by the University of Oklahoma Press in early January 2013 with a print run of 5,000 copies. "Sandalwood Death" will be the second volume in the Chinese Literature Today Series, a new 10-volume book series that focuses on contemporary Chinese literature.
"Sandalwood Death" is set in the time of the Boxer Rebellion, and centers on the relationship between a woman, Sun Meiniang, and three paternal figures in her life, including her biological father, Sun Bing. The book exhibits a range of styles, from arias and poems, and its language includes the idiom of late Imperial China as well as contemporary prose. It has been translated into English by Howard Goldblatt.
An exclusive excerpt from "Sandalwood Death" by Mo Yan, reprinted with permission from the University of Oklahoma Press:
That morning, my gongdieh, Zhao Jia, could never, even in his wildest dreams, have imagined that in seven days he would die at my hands, his death more momentous than that of a loyal old dog. And never could I have imagined that I, a mere woman, would take knife in hand and with it kill my own husband's father. Even harder to believe was that this old man, who had seemingly fallen from the sky half a year earlier, was an executioner, someone who could kill without blinking. In his red-tasseled skullcap and long robe, topped by a short jacket with buttons down the front, he paced the courtyard, counting the beads on his Buddhist rosary like a retired yuanwailang, or, better yet, I think, a laotaiye, with a houseful of sons and grandsons. But he was neither a laotaiye nor a yuanwailang—he was the preeminent executioner in the Board of Punishments, a magician with the knife, a peerless decapitator, a man capable of inflicting the cruelest punishments, including some of his own design, a true creative genius. During his four decades in the Board of Punishments, he had—to hear him say it—lopped off more heads than the yearly output of Gaomi County watermelons.
My thoughts kept me awake that night, as I tossed and turned on the brick kang, like flipping fried bread. My dieh, Sun Bing, had been arrested and locked up by County Magistrate Qian, that pitiless son of a bitch. Even if he were the worst person in the world, he would still be my dieh, and my mind was in such turmoil I could not sleep, forestalling any possibility of rest. I heard large mongrels grunting in their cages and fat pigs barking in their pens—pig noises had become dog sounds, and dog barks had turned into pig songs. Even in the short time they had left to live, they were tuning up for an opera. If a dog grunts, it is still a dog, and when a pig barks, it remains a pig. And a dieh is still a dieh, even if he does not act like one. Grunt grunt, arf arf. The noise drove me crazy. They knew they would be dead soon. So would my dieh. . .

Start: 12:04:38
alt: Hello, 3rdthawlins
3rdthawkins: hey alt apparently ancestry.com made some changes to their site
alt: that familysearch site is keeping me busy with the newer uploads
3rdthawkins: now free members can't even see previews to a tree, so I'm stuck if I have a hint from a tree I kind of like it that way, but it sucks when you're the free member
alt: yeah, Ancestry's home Page and some of the newer features take a little getting used to... and I haven't... I still use the 'old search' screen Ancestry is really beoming too commerical and non-genealogical for me, but they do have many good databases.
3rdthawkins: yes, about familysearch, now a lot to search through, and there are surprises when you don't expect a name to pop up in a different state than what you're searching for, but I'm still in the 1900s, so can't wait til they update the records for tht time period yes, that's always been the complaint of a lot of users on ancestry.com, reading the message boards
alt: all of those 'hits' are directing you to some other product of their's.. or so it seems.
vicky: hello alt and 3rd!
alt: Hi vicky
3rdthawkins: yeah it is, they are less a genealogy site and more a marketing site hello vicky
vicky: new uploads on Ancestry
3rdthawkins: I see, but it's the same as familysearch seem like....Nova Scotia records
alt: they've even gone back to the 'automatic' renewal... no warning,they just bill ya. LOL
Seventies Soulchild: Hey all! 3rd, alt, and vicky
3rdthawkins: hello Seventies
alt: Hello Seventies Soulchild
vicky: lol @ alt hello seventies
Seventies Soulchild: don't tell me that alt lol my renwal is up soon
3rdthawkins: lol that's what they did to me when I had a free trial, but they never took away that money, so I got like one month free
vicky: gotta make sure you have the dough in there Seventies
3rdthawkins: actually they did take that money, but only once
Seventies Soulchild: I do, but that's beside the point. . .
alt: If you don't want to keep it, better let them know before the renewal date.. or it's automatice
Seventies Soulchild: And who knows how quickly they are going to jack up the price.
3rdthawkins: definitely, I learned that, I had forgot to cancel, they renewed, it but they didn;'t take any money out though
vicky: they should send out a email notice or a courtesy call
Seventies Soulchild: It went from $99 to $150 in a year. . .
vicky: right
3rdthawkins: wow, I just did the $19.95 monthly
alt: I'm still having oly the census & historical files (newpspapers, etc.)
vicky: 240 if you go all 12 3rd
Seventies Soulchild: 3rd, naw never get the monthly.. always get the annual its cheaper
3rdthawkins: dang!
vicky: I dont need the world subscription
Seventies Soulchild: Me either, I just do U.S.
3rdthawkins: the reason I did it, because it was just easier, I only have a prepaid card, so it had to put more money in it, so it was easier until I can get enough money to do it any other way
Seventies Soulchild: But you still get hits from all the collections available.
3rdthawkins: they really don't care for genealogist, just their money, knowing what their after
vicky: Therre is this lady that I have known for about 40 years. She is 94 yrs old and now getting sick
Seventies Soulchild: Especially with the change of ownership of the company
alt: and they've become that since they went public Seventies Soulchild
3rdthawkins: when 98% of the information and records I found was free, and only paid for a few
vicky: last week she fell and broke her hip and went into a coma
Seventies Soulchild: oh no vicky!
3rdthawkins: oh my, vicky

Seventies Soulchild: Will this be for the Fields House and their esteemed alumi James Fields?

Seventies Soulchild: brb these folks are heating up fried chicken.... SMH
Selma: I will have company during that time so didn't want to make a commitment..but I will probably go The Fields House is in Newport News...
Seventies Soulchild: But didn't James Fields graduate from Hampton?
Ingrid_Doweary: I'm sure there are a number of historic sites in Alexandria, Khathu. I just need the opportunity to see them.
Seventies Soulchild: ok you know what, I'm really about to drown in the scent of fried chicken... I'ma step out for a few...
Selma: yes he graduated from Hampton, he was born in Hanover County, he and his family escaped to Fort Monroe and were contraband... Dru presentation will be on doing genealogical research
Ingrid_Doweary: That's going to be sweet!
3rdthawkins: such a sterotypical person Seventies lol
Selma: Khathu did you finish your transcriptions of the documents?
Khathu: The Yes I did Selman
Ingrid_Doweary: Glad to hear that, Khathu.
Khathu: They were just statements taxable property which listed my ggg grandmother and her children
Ingrid_Doweary: Well it's good you got through it. I have a file of census records to transcribe.
Khathu: the documents confirmed how the enslaved property of the estate of Anna Whiteaker was divided up amongst her sons
3rdthawkins: Ok, I have a question................if you find someone in census and they seem like they could be a family member but not sure, can you just accept that person as your family member, even though nothing really says it but it definitely looks like it could be them?
alt: in a word NOPE
Khathu: i would not recommend that...
Selma: I think transcription are important Khathu...are you going to post
Khathu: as a good researcher you would need to look at other sources
Ingrid_Doweary: I've been cross referencing the persons with other census records, marriage listings, SSDIs, Obits, etc.
3rdthawkins: I already have three people that I'm looking at, two of them looks like they could be both the ones I'm looking for
Khathu: Selma do you mean to the slave database?
Ingrid_Doweary: Other documents in other words, Khathu.
Selma: Yes, you could put there..but I mean the whole document...in its entirety
Khathu: 3rd - you can't determine that from just looking at the census
alt: there are too many cases of the // same name, same county same time frame non-connections to just make that assumption
3rdthawkins: of course not Khathu
Ingrid_Doweary: I used about city directories today to cross reference a couple census records.
Khathu: 3rd - then i am confused. what are you asking
Ingrid_Doweary: 3 city directories I forget to say.
Khathu: Selma - I can post the whole document.
3rdthawkins: I see two people in census, one could be a grgr granduncle and another could be a grgr grandaunt..............name matches age matches and place of birht matches for her and parents for the aunt
Ingrid_Doweary: It just to happened they lived in Mobile, Alabama.
Khathu: okay
3rdthawkins: just living in a different place than I would expect
alt: the old standby of multiple docs for a sinle event seem to still apply in documenting what you think may be a connection
Ingrid_Doweary: I concur with your statement, Alt.
alt: ty Ingrid_Doweary
Ingrid_Doweary: YW, Alt.
3rdthawkins: alt for the grgrgranduncle...........his name seem to be spelled the same way in census as it is in a marriage record, the record I know his him, but the census not sure though name is spelled the same
alt: put it in your database w/notations 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: ok alt
alt: you can always 'unlink' if it is not the perosn you thought they were
3rdthawkins: right, ok this is one reason why I am ordering death certificate for the Hannah Isley I see died in 1931 Hempstead Co. AR, because I;m thinking it's my grgrgr gm but not sure, can't find her in 1920 or 1930 so I want to make sure this Hannah is my Hannah no other way
alt: thing is 3rdthawkins, you know, or are least are pretty sure of the name and the connections,,, further reseach will reveal if this information is for your relative or someone with the same name
3rdthawkins: so it's alright to keep the rec. and at least put a note or something, and if it's not, you can always take it off, it's not like adding a birth/date/marriage date or anything, ok
Seventies Soulchild: I'm baaaacccckkkk lol
3rdthawkins: or a name
Selma: Chicken good?
3rdthawkins: how wa the chicken?
Ingrid_Doweary: Did you enjoy yourself, Seventies?
Seventies Soulchild: That wasn't my chicken... lol I got fish... lol
alt: I think so 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: ok thx alt
alt: it might be wrong, but I do it frequently 3rdthawkins or at least .... have done it
Seventies Soulchild: ok got a ton of work to do. Talk to you all later.
3rdthawkins: when I sent my gf's cousin a descendants report, I put that the 1880 census of her grandfather (my grgr gf) Thomas Sanders was not verified, so I guess I can do something like that......... I'm just more sure of that census than these others
alt: have you presented your grandmother her 'gift'?
3rdthawkins: for one thing people doesn't say in the same place, so definitely not sure.....when someone says in a particular place all their life, it makes it easier not yet alt, will do it when I get down there next week
alt: oh okay, it's next week
Ingrid_Doweary: Thus you now have the benefit of using timelines.
3rdthawkins: true Ingrid
alt: 3rdthawkins, that's why Selam 'preaches' know the history of the area at given points in time... it sure makes things easier when there are doubts.
Ingrid_Doweary: A couple of timeline forms are included in my genealogy forms folder.
alt: Selam=Selma sorry bout that LOL and the geography
Ingrid_Doweary: Those individual-national history timeline forms have been helpful to me.
Khathu: have a good day everyone
alt: In following Dru's work on her Bullock's her's in Vance Co., NC and minr in Edgecombe Co., NC we find them in almost adjoining counties less the 50 miles apart.
Ingrid_Doweary: It's good to be familiar with the historical timeline of the geographic area also. Amazing.
alt: so it is possible we're talking about some type of family or slave-holding connections
Selma: Thats how I met Dru..I was giving a presentation..she asked me a question ...I told her GET A MAP..for the time frame she was researching
vicky: and over time counties change as well as city prect lol @ Selma
3rdthawkins: I'm looking more between 1900-1930
Ingrid_Doweary: You're absolutely right, Vicky. I have certainly encountered that in my research experience.
Selma: Heck..states come into existence at different times...
Ingrid_Doweary: As well as does the county formations.
vicky: right
alt: and there are name changes for townships & counties... ex.. her i my area some names were changed from German to Liberty during the WW I timeframe. didn't want to emphasis their German connections
vicky: they had a 100 year flood here and a whole town was moved more than 30 miles away and the name of the town was different
alt: exactly vicky and those things need to be known when researching an area.
Ingrid_Doweary: How about that? Trying to be politically correct back in the day.
vicky: yep
Selma: I have to run folks...see you tonight..have a great day.
Ingrid_Doweary: Wow about the 100 year flood infomation, Vicky.
alt: yep Ingrid PC even then LOL
Ingrid_Doweary: I see the comparison with the 100 yr flood and the 2005 Katrina Hurrican flood impact.
vicky: The new town was called Hopeville but all the residents did not chose to go
alt: good comparison Ingrid_Doweary
vicky: Most of these people were AA's with a sprinkling of Hispanics
Ingrid_Doweary: TY
alt: time for me to skedaddle y'all... laters
vicky: so you never know what to expect as the years go by ok alt later
Ingrid_Doweary: I understand that. Vicky, where did the 100 yrs flood occur?
vicky: In Arizona there was a chain of rivers and dams that overflooded bridges washed out
Ingrid_Doweary: Oh okay. I'll put that on my research checklist. What's the proximity between the chain of rivers and dams to the Rio Grande?
vicky: we were stuck on this side of the river rio grande is south, this came from the North
Ingrid_Doweary: Which direction, N,S,E or W?
vicky: The Rio is coming from Texas
Ingrid_Doweary: So, that's possibly North of the Rio?
vicky: It is closer to Colorado, Utah etc The Rio is south east coming from Texas The rains that came here would come from the Colorado up from Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon
3rdthawkins: ok you two ce ya tonite possibly
vicky: bye better run also cya later bye

SA: Since we are looking for the sexiest outfits in video game history, we have to add the sex appeal factor too (including for men), so how will this list work?
1. The "outfit" has to be use for battle, get into action, enhance the character abilities, etc. In other words NO fanservice.
2. Only one Suit and one character per franchise - that includes all versions or suits.
3. Only original in-game suits.
Now, onto the list!
So the Gears has a better story than Uncharted is flame bait, but this isn't? And what does this have to do with gaming. N4G makes me laugh sometimes.
Its good to see the ARS Suit make the list, its one of the most badass weapons made this generation and highly stylish to boot. I think honorables should have been Dark Sector's Proto-suit Hayden and GRAM from Rengoku 2.
Kos-mos is my all timee fav, and Lenneth from Valyrie profile is my 2nd :D

1 sweet dumpling squash, peeled and cubed
1 delicata squash, peeled and cubed
30 oz canned dark red kidney beans, drained
30 oz canned fire roasted diced tomatoes
2 oz rye (optional)
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
1 cubanelle pepper, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 shallot, minced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 jarred fire roasted pepper, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke
1 teaspoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 teaspoon ground chipotle
1 teaspoon ground jalapeno
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon roasted ground cumin
Place all ingredients in 4 or 6 quart slow cooker and gently stir to evenly distribute the spices and squash. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir prior to serving.
Yield: 8 servings
Note: I like to put the spices in the (covered) slow cooker overnight, chop up the onion, shallot, garlic, peppers, squash and celery and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight. For a vegetarian/vegan chili like this one I have been known to refrigerate the wetter ingredients like jarred pepper, tomatoes, beans, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke in a separate container overnight as well. In the morning, I just have to stir everything together in the slow cooker and turn it on.

Is the Electric Car Right for You?
Steep discounts and public subsidies have more and more consumers considering electric cars. Eyes on the Road columnist Joe White Joins Lunch Break with a look at how going electric could end up putting money in drivers' pockets.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... Mark Sayers a charge of electric cars thanks in part to some pretty sweet tax credits and manufactured discounts Wall Street Journal's prize on the Road columnist ... Joe White joins us now with the de tails Dell ... Now What sixteen in diesel electric car still had not reached mass appeal ... but their ... seen a lot closer with sales doubling in the first quarter of this year compared to a year earlier ... how did that I wonder now it is pure desire and how much is just that the math is too good to pass up for some people ... some of both but that them but they do see that the increase in sales because the masses started add up I'd be that you have this on offering one ninety nine a month leases of the oddest on offer one nine on a monthly sun there ... on their five hundred e which is coming up soon ... on you even Tesla is is offering what amounts to a discounted lease on on on their vehicles ... will a more Coppock and that that ... that they're dropping the price of entry and I think it's in response to people's concerns that may be an electric car ... isn't right for me and the Cup and the companies are saying look we need to sell these things to comply with regulatory mandates ... are if you're a little worried were to make the cost of entry so low that you can say no that's that's the goal is to look sales are up in the still small relative to the total and a tax credits are pretty are pretty sweet what are people looking at ... well from him from the federal government giving it a seventy five hundred dollars tax credit ... of most some of the auto makers are busy folding that into the base price from which they calculate these were the purchase contract ... but from there ... depending on what state you live in you can get fairly good deals with Georgia for instance has a five thousand dollars tax credit ... I'd talk to one gentleman Lewis of Georgia AP figured ... that one I mean on a month for two year lease on the song leave ... of by the time I get done when I get my five thousand dollars tax credit ... and figure that the difference between a charging the car on it at fourteen or fifteen bucks a month ... I'm putting gas in him that it will be another vehicle that he had ... he figured this this electric car was essentially free to air ... and so course he's right he's commuting around is late because it makes its free low risk proposition that seems to be a place for him when you when you look at the numbers that weigh in on to the sales trend though overall electric vehicles ... but couldn't perspective compared to ... say how many pickup trucks are selling each day gap ... oh well ... the other with the leave I looked up last month in April with ... the Sasol about nineteen hundred weeks of support sold something like thirty times that many F one fifty pickup or F series pickup trucks ... including the F one fifty ... so ... that the electric car is still a niche vehicle for a small audience ... the challenge for the car makers is how we break out of the early adopters and get more people who who buy based on dollars and cents ... and if these tax credits when away Joe ... what happened in demand for these cars when you think ... all I think that would be of that would be a very difficult to it that the express what a way I think the sales of electric cars ... would would probably plummet of less so they were able to bring it ... to the range way off ... and the base price is way down ... of Sergio Marchionne on either the chairman of price if the US of what we lose ten thousand dollars a car on on these vehicles right now ... and so was out of business for them if they can't get tax breaks right now Yeh that's a numerical proposition don't have to change a bid to sustain that demand eyed Joe White more in his eyes on the Road column in the Pursell Journal section tomorrow thanks Jeff ... they suck ...

3. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Pick: Khalil Mack, LB, Buffalo
Dustin Hockensmith, PennLive.com: No Johnny Football here. The Jaguars have made improvements on both sides of the ball through free agency, but can take another big jump forward defensively. Enter Mack, who might be the "cleanest" prospect in the draft. He's a productive, versatile pass-rusher who can terrorize quarterbacks and, who knows, help turn the Jags defense into a legitimate strength. Watkins would have been the pick had he not gone No. 2.
4. Cleveland Browns
The Pick: Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
Chris Fedor, Cleveland.com: I think the Browns will give strong consideration to Greg Robinson here. But Ray Farmer was given two first round picks, one of them the No. 4 pick, to put his imprint on the Cleveland Browns. That doesn't happen with a guy who will be playing right tackle. The Browns take a franchise changer, who will make Browns fans ride a rollercoaster all season. Johnny Manziel officially becomes Johnny Cleveland and the Browns become relevant again.
5. Oakland Raiders
The Pick: Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn
Nick Underhill, MassLive.com: Raiders fans want someone who can make a difference on offense, and they get that player, it's just probably not the guy they want. Oakland needs help on the offensive line, so if the board breaks this way, Auburn OT Greg Robinson will be the pick. The Raiders can circle back and grab a quarterback in the second round.
6. Atlanta Falcons
The Pick: Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
Joel Erickson, AL.com: For a team that desperately needs help at tackle, this board almost fell perfectly for a team that has visited and worked out Greg Robinson multiple times, but in Matthews, the Falcons get a polished product.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Pick: Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
Larry Holder, NOLA.com: This is a pretty easy pick for me. Combine Evans and Vincent Jackson and Josh McCown should excel right away.
8. Minnesota Vikings
The Pick: Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida
Kyle Meinke, MLive.com: Minnesota whiffed on Christian Ponder in 2011, and already has declined his option for 2015. They have needs on defense, especially at linebacker, but Bortles provides the Vikings with a big, strong pro-style quarterback around which to build for the future. And that's too enticing to pass up here.
9. Buffalo Bills
The Pick: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
Nate Mink, Syracuse.com: Doug Marrone and Nathaniel Hackett have to be better on offense, and Ebron gives young QB EJ Manuel a weapon in the pass game.
10. Detroit Lions
The Pick: Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan
Kyle Meinke, MLive.com: The Lions return all 5 starting O-linemen from a front that was among the league's better units last year ... but they've shown before they will stick to "best player available," even when it means drafting to a position of strength (ie, Nick Fairley). Lewan is a monster at tackle, and could start right away on the right side. Or he could play on the left side, and former first-rounder Riley Reiff slides to guard. Either way, Detroit gets better.
11. Tennessee Titans
The Pick: Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA
Joel Erickson, AL.com: The Titans are transitioning to a defense heavy on the 3-4, and Barr's a perfect fit at that spot for Tennessee as a big-time pass rusher off the edge. Enormous production at UCLA, and his relative newness at the position gives him a lot of room to grow.
12. New York Giants
The Pick: Zack Martin, OL, Notre Dame
Jordan Raanan, NJ.com: It's boring, it's bland but it's the Giants. They want a clean prospect in the first round and Martin is exactly that. He's a minimize-the-risk pick for a team that can't afford to miss. He can play tackle, guard and even center. He can help Eli Manning avoid another 27 interceptions. Martin makes too much sense to go in any other direction here at No. 12.
13. St. Louis Rams
The Pick: Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
Larry Holder, NOLA.com: May have missed out on an OL, but I'll take the best CB in the draft.
14. Chicago Bears
The Pick: Aaron Donald, DT, Pitt
Kyle Meinke, MLive.com: Chicago has a need at every level of the defense, but particularly on the D-line, after ranking last in sacks last season and giving up 161.4 yards per game on the ground. That was ... last. The Bears won't pass up on a chance to add the best defensive lineman in the draft, if he falls this far.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pick: Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
Dustin Hockensmith, PennLive.com: Awfully hard to bypass Odell Beckham Jr. here. Dennard isn't the same physical specimen as Justin Gilbert, but he's more than adequate on that front and has sparkling game tape. He also fits the "Steeler Way" as a tough, physical player with leadership attributes. Dennard doesn't have the highest ceiling in the draft, but he can fill a need and push for a starting job right away.
16. Dallas Cowboys
The Pick: HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
Conor Orr, The Star-Ledger/NJ.com: This injects some youth into that secondary and gives that defense a big time playmaker back there.
17. Baltimore Ravens
The Pick: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
Dustin Hockensmith, PennLive.com: Baltimore is a prime candidate to trade down from No. 17 and take its offensive tackle of choice later in the round. The value doesn't match up at OT here, but an elite safety is a fine consolation prize. The Ravens can fill a hole in their secondary with another hard-hitting safety to pair with last year's first-round pick Matt Elam.
18. New York Jets
The Pick: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU
Darryl Slater, The Star-Ledger/NJ.com: If Dennard was available here, the Jets would have to think long and hard about taking him, considering the glaring need at cornerback. (With all due respect to Dimitri Patterson, he does not seem to be a legit No. 1 corner.) But Dennard and Gilbert are gone, so the Jets' pick here is Beckham. He is not the biggest receiver available in this draft by any means, but he has excellent burst, so he could be the downfield receiving threat the Jets are looking for. They signed the best free agent receiver available, Eric Decker, but they are still far from complete at this position. The Jets can get inside information on Beckham from their new special teams coordinator, Thomas McGaughey, who previously held that role at LSU.
19. Miami Dolphins
The Pick: C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama
Darryl Slater, The Star-Ledger/NJ.com: In case you hadn't heard, the Dolphins had some issues with their offensive line last year. And it did not just involve odious text messages. Miami gave up 58 sacks -- the most in the league. So offensive line is a glaring need. It's tempting to pick Morgan Moses out of Virginia, but Miami instead will go with C.J. Mosley, the ILB out of Alabama. He's the best player available at this spot. In reality, maybe the Dolphins trade up for another offensive lineman. But in this case, Mosley is preferable over Moses.
20. Arizona Cardinals
The Pick: Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State
Nick Underhill, MassLive.com: Arizona has a pretty big need here after losing Karlos Dansby, and his replacement, Kevin Minter, is unproven. Safety is also a need, so Pryor could be an option if he slides to this spot.
21. Green Bay Packers
The Pick: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
Kyle Meinke, MLive.com: Green Bay has more pressing needs on defense, and must be dismayed that Mosley and Shazier came off the board just ahead of them. They have needs in the secondary, and someone like a Kyle Fuller could be an option here. But if you're going best player available -- and Green Bay's track record would suggest it will -- Cooks is it. He's been overshadowed by Watkins, Evans and Beckham in this draft class, but can really burn, and offers some versatility on offense and special teams.
22. Philadelphia Eagles
The Pick: Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana
Eliot Shorr-Parks, NJ.com: Eagles head coach Chip Kelly worked Latimer out one-on-one last month, and at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, Latimer is one the strongest (1st in bench press at the combine) and fastest (4.44 40-yard dash) in the draft. He is the pick over Kelvin Benjamin of FSU because of his speed, and over Marqise Lee of USC because of his size. Chip is a confident guy, and he wants a player with tools, not the best resume. Latimer can play the outside, and the Eagles can move Jeremy Maclin to the slot, where he is better suited. The Eagles would like to go defense with their first choice, but there is no elite pass-rusher worth the pick, and they don't need to draft for depth at CB here.
23. Kansas City Chiefs
The Pick: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
Eliot Shorr-Parks, NJ.com: Chiefs head coach Andy Reid loves quarterbacks who can extend plays with their legs, as evident by his infatuation with Michael Vick during his final years in Philadelphia. Bridgewater gets a chance to sit for a year before he takes over the job from Alex Smith, who is a free agent after this season. Reid loves to develop quarterbacks, and he gets a player with all the tools in Bridgewater to work with.
24. Cincinnati Bengals
The Pick: Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
Chris Fedor, Cleveland.com: The Bengals help out the aging secondary. Leon Hall has had an Achilles injury two of the last three years. Terrence Newman is 36 this season. Dre Kirkpatrick has been a disaster. Fuller is aggressive and smart. He will bring a swagger to the Bengals' secondary.
25. San Diego Chargers
The Pick: Jason Verrett, CB, TCU
Nate Mink, Syracuse.com: Really was hoping Fuller was still on the board, and Louis Nix was strongly considered here too, but CB is maybe the No. 1 need in a division with Peyton Manning and (soon?) Teddy Bridgewater.
26. Cleveland Browns
The Pick: Xavier Su'a-Filo, OL, UCLA
Chris Fedor, Cleveland.com: With Johnny Manziel now in the fold, the Browns gave some strong thought to receiver here, especially Marqise Lee and Davante Adams. But the receiver class is extremely deep this year, allowing the Browns to wait, and likely scoop up a pass catcher at the top of the second round to come in and be the No. 3 option in the passing game.
The other way to help a young quarterback is to protect him. The Browns have questions at tackle and guard. Xavier Su'a-Filo from UCLA has experience at both. The strong and athletic offensive lineman can open holes for new running back Ben Tate and protect JF. It's not sexy, but it's important to be strong in the trenches playing in the tough and rugged AFC North. He gets the call barely over Bradley Roby, the last of the Tier One corners.
27. New Orleans Saints
The Pick: Marqise Lee, WR, USC
Larry Holder, NOLA.com: Hiss. Boo. Cheer. Whatever. I'm taking USC WR Marqise Lee. I'm not scared by the injury. He was great with a capable QB. He can return kicks. No surprise, but I'm taking Lee.
28. Carolina Panthers
The Pick: Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
Joel Erickson, AL.com: The Panthers need both offensive tackle and wide receiver, and Dave Gettleman said recently that he'd rather have the tackle in an interview. Unfortunately, the two guys available right now are Morgan Moses and Cyrus Kouandjio. Kouandjio is slow and has big-time injury concerns, and I watched too much of the South practices to buy into Moses, who got beat repeatedly by Dee Ford and others. That leaves receiver, where the Panthers are remaking the entire group. Cotchery and Avant are possession guys, and Tiquan Underwood's a burner who is relatively short at 6-1. All of that makes Benjamin a great fit as a big red-zone target for Cam Newton, and probably the top wide receiver target in Carolina's offense.
29. New England Patriots
The Pick: Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
Nick Underhill, MassLive.com: I know the Patriots like Easley, and while there is a belief he could slip to the second round, I'm not sure the Seahawks would let him drop. The big question here is health. Easley suffered two torn ACLs during his collegiate career, but when healthy he was one of the better defensive tackles in the nation. The Patriots don't have an immediate need for any rookies to come in and claim a starting role, so they could be patient with Easley. With Tommy Kelly and Vince Wilfork closer to the end than the beginning, the Patriots could have a nice stable of young defensive tackles in Sealver Siliga (if he proves to be legit), Easley, and Armond Armstead.
30. San Francisco 49ers
The Pick: Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
Nate Mink, Syracuse.com: Niners can easily choose CB here, and Bradley Roby is still on the board ... but I really like what Matthews did in the nation's best conference. He was the No. 1 receiving threat week in and week out for Vandy and consistently performed.
31. Denver Broncos
The Pick: Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame
Chris Fedor, Cleveland.com: The Broncos made it to the Super Bowl last year and were very, very aggressive in free agency. They really don't have a lot of needs. At some point talent has to win out.
Nix is athletic for a player his size and was a dominant force for the Irish when healthy in 2012. It's not exactly a need. But Elway takes him because he's really, really good, arguably the top remaining player available.
32. Seattle Seahawks
The Pick: Joel Bitonio, OL, Nevada
Conor Orr, The Star-Ledger/NJ.com: There was a strong consideration given to Austin Seferian-Jenkins, but Bitonio's ability to play two positions well earned the nod.

The New Mexico Tourism Department has a nice site up on Billy the Kid. It is called Billy the Kid Territory. It has information on the famed outlaw including history, maps, and tourist guide for the Billy the Kid National Scenic & Historic Byway. There is even a section on Billy the Kid "Fakes."
Billy the Kid lived a brief life (1860-1881) but it sure was memorable.
From the site:
His real name, Henry McCarty, was rather ordinary. But his nickname still gallops across the high plains of America's imagination. Of all of the Old West's outlaws, it outdistances all the others. He used his familiar, formal alias of William H. Bonney in correspondence. For the last eight months or so of his harrowing life he was known -- as he is remembered today -- as Billy the Kid.
Although McCarty roamed New Mexico Territory for only the last nine years of his short and turbulent life, he called New Mexico home. Today, more than 125 years after his death, scores of historic points of interest here still recall the life and legend of Billy Bonney; the five-month-long Lincoln County War; and the life and legacy of the man who tracked him down and eventually shot and killed him, Pat Garrett.
Welcome to Billy the Kid Territory. It's a travel experience unlike any other in New Mexico. Whether you're following the Kid, the Lincoln County War, or Garrett, retrace the hoofprints, and walk where they walked. Visit the many places that were familiar to them. Watch as those places shed new light on their stories and make them come alive, right before your eyes.
There are three sections here in Billy the Kid Territory. They're entitled Billy the Kid, Billy the Kid Travel Territory, and Billy the Kid Resources.
Blog of Dr. Miland Brown that features different aspects of world history. Not everything can be covered but sites dealing with any historical issue or topic are possible future posts. Also includes sites which discuss teaching history. Dr. Brown is an academic in North America.

SANTA ROSA — Santa Rosa police arrested a Santa Rosa Junior College Police Department officer Wednesday on suspicion of grand theft and embezzlement, a police sergeant said.
Jeff Holzworth, 49, a 28-year employee at the junior college, was arrested around 10 a.m. after completing his shift, Santa Rosa police Sgt. Lance Badger said.
Holzworth was booked in Sonoma County jail under $150,000 bail for grand theft and embezzlement, Badger said. He is scheduled to be arraigned Friday afternoon in Sonoma County Superior Court.
Police served search warrants at Holzworth's home, work space and personal and work vehicles and located several thousand dollars, Badger said.
Santa Rosa Junior College Police Chief Matt McCaffrey contacted Santa Rosa police on Nov. 1 with information he received about a possible ongoing embezzlement by a junior college police officer, Badger said.
McCaffrey asked Santa Rosa police to assist with the investigation, and detectives from the Santa Rosa Police Department's property crimes team conducted a three-week investigation, Badger said.
That investigation is continuing and police are not disclosing any more information, Badger said.
Holzworth was placed on administrative leave by the junior college.

And then, it blew into the ocean!
When A recent note into support from one of our customers in the UK started like this;
"I have just got a new StreetWalker to replace one which was blown over a cliff in a gale"
We had to know the rest of the story!
"The rucksack was lost on the afternoon of 3 March 2012. It was lost on the east side of the Rubha Hunish peninsula at the north end of Trotternish, Isle of Skye. The grid reference was NG413763. The rucksack had been blown like a wheel across grass then over a cliff into the sea. It happened so quickly that although I stood up and started to run towards the rucksack, I had no chance of reaching it before it went over the cliff.
I received an email on the evening of 26/3/2012 from a man who told me that he had found my rucksack when walking on the beach between Tulm Island and Tulm Bay. The grid reference he gave was NG41051 75413. The rucksack had journeyed round a rocky and stormy peninsula. It had travelled a minimum of 1 km north along the east side of the Rubha Hunish peninsula, round the northern tip of the peninsula, then more than 1.5 km south down the west side of the peninsula. Its total journey in the sea was a minimum of at least 2.5 km.
I do not know how waterlogged the bag was when it was retrieved from the beach, but it must have been saturated during its journey. It certainly took a pounding as light plastic battery cases were broken. However the rucksack was pretty unscathed apart from a little superficial tarnishing of some metal parts and staining of plastic as a consequence of corrosion of batteries and some other metal parts.
The most expensive loss was of my collection of Lee filters. Although the rucksack was closed when on the beach, it was not zipped up and the filters fell out during the voyage. In the bag were also spare batteries and chargers. They were all badly corroded. A digital padlock attached but not in use was also badly corroded. A pair of Spyder ski gloves attached to the sack with a karabiner had parted company with the sack. Fortunately I had removed my Zeiss lenses that morning and I was holding my camera when this incident occurred.
I met the man at Spean Bridge on 31/03/2012 when he returned the rucksack to me. Although he insisted that no reward was necessary, I gave him a bottle of 15 year old Dalwhinnie single malt. It was good to be reunited with the rucksack which had already travelled between the UK and Australia a couple of times, with many other trips in between."
John is from Scotland, and I've toured those coastlines – my favourite area being around John O' Groats – right up the top – and I've experience winds like no other!! (I was nearly blown off the edge) So I understood when I got hold of his email!
Here's a little run down on a couple of the images below, from John;
"It was a stormy day and I decided not to take my Zeiss lenses or tripod. The 2 shots from the day are hand-held. One shows plumes of sea spray driven by the wind and the other shows us having a break shortly before the rucksack, seen in the background, was blown like a wheel."
Sea spray coming up off the sea… (Yes, a little windy)
A Relaxing break, a flying bag in the background!
And this is what it looked like when it was finally retrieved about three weeks later.
John has a new Streetwalker now and I've toyed with sending him a set of tent pegs and some strong rope for next time he heads off along that walking path!
Thanks John!!

"Freedom from Freedom Itself"
Paternity Case Marks Progress for Defrauded Fathers
Special to TLE
On Aug. 31, a small but precedent-setting case was decided in the Superior Court of New Jersey. The plaintiff discovered he was not the biological father of his eldest 'son', now in his 30s. The court affirmed the duped dad's legal right to sue the natural father for the cost of raising the 'child' and removed some limitations imposed by a lower court.
The precedent: for the first time, New Jersey has extended a clear statutory deadline for filing on paternity cases. For the first time, a biological parent may be forced to pay child support for an offspring emancipated over 15 years ago.
The significance: family courts are beginning to reflect a growing impatience with paternity fraud; perhaps this is in reaction to a shift in societal attitudes.
Predictably, the pathbreaking New Jersey decision raises more questions. For example, if a deliberate fraud was perpetrated for 30 years by both the biological mother and father, why is only the father held liable?
The answerright or wronglies in the facts of the case, which are as follows.
In 1957, RACthe duped dadand BEC were married; in 1980, they divorced. Three children resulted, including DC born in 1969. (Court documents reveal the parties only through initials.)
The mother was "virtually sure" that PJS was DC's father but she did not disclose this to her husband. Instead, PJS became the child's godfather. Upon divorce, RAC fulfilled the obligations of both child support and educational expenses for DC, all the while maintaining a close, loving relationship with the three children.
In 1996, DCthen 27-years-oldwas about to wed. The mother revealed her paternity fraud to DC because his natural father had a pronounced family history of muscular dystrophy, a condition which could be genetically transmitted. She promised to inform RAC of the deception but waited three additional years to do so.
In September 2000, the sadly-enlightened RAC filed a complaint against PJS, which also named the mother and included a demand for DNA testing. PJS was the biological father and a judgment of paternity was entered against him in June 2002.
In February 2003, RAC was awarded $109,697 for child support reimbursement up to DC's 22nd birthday. The reimbursement excluded legal expenses and money spent on DC's education between the ages of 22 and 25.
The judge also dismissed RAC's claim for "fraudulent concealment and intentional infliction of emotional distress." This effectively barred a cross-complaint against the mother.
RAC appealed.
PJS countered with a technicality, albeit an important one. The time limit for initiating a paternity fraud suit had expired under New Jersey's Parentage Act before RAC had brought the original suit. The relevant passage states, "No action shall be brought under [the Parentage Act] more than five years after the child attains the age of majority."
Thus PJS claimed RAC's suit was invalid. RAC answered that information on paternity was concealed until the time limit had expired. In other words, PJS and the mother had "conspired" to prevent the very possibility of a legal remedy.
The Superior Court agreed with RAC...but only so far. The deadline for filing was waived. The Superior Court fell back on the intention of the Parentage Act rather than its specific wording. The Act was not intended to facilitate fraud; thus, the court extended the principle of "equitable tolling" to paternity fraud.
This principle states, "a statute of limitations will not bar a claim if despite use of due diligence the plaintiff did not or could not discover the injury until after the expiration of the limitations period."
The claim for legal fees was sent back to the lower court for reconsideration. But the claims of "fraudulent concealment" and "emotional distress" were denied, as was the filing of action against the mother.
Why was the mother exempted? The court found, "BEC owed plaintiff nothing for the support of DC" because she had also paid her fair share. Moreover, "the act of adultery...does not violate any law" and was mitigated by the joy and benefit "plaintiff enjoyed from the love and affection" of the "child he thought was his."
I am uncomfortable with this reasoning.
Adultery is not and should not be against the law; consenting adults have an absolute right to have sex together without government interference. The sexual act may be immoral or otherwise unsavory but it should not be illegal.
But making an innocent third party legally and financially responsible for the consequences of that sex act is an entirely different matter. And the mother must have perjured herself on several legal documents during the divorce and child settlement arrangements when she attested to RAC's fatherhood.
At least two questions bear on whether the mother should be liable. The first: should the law intrude into family matters? The second: if the law becomes involved, should fraud be tolerated?
My ideal society includes explicit contracts into which people voluntarily enter before becoming parents; DNA testing might be a standard provision. The law (or other third party) would become involved only as an arbiter of disputes or as a rescuer in cases of physical abuse.
That society doesn't exist. People resist parental contracts and the law inevitably becomes involved in competing claims over children.
And, when a legal proceeding occurs, intentional fraud should be punished. BECalong with the natural fathercommitted intentional fraud.
The New Jersey decision is beneficial in granting increased recognition to the plight of paternity fraud. But an obvious problem remains. Two people committed fraud. Only one of them bears any liability.

MACON, Ga. (May 9, 2013) – The ETSU baseball team returns to conference play this weekend as the Bucs take on No. 21 Mercer beginning Friday night at 6 p.m., from Claude Smith Field.
ETSU – who has won back-to-back weekend series and six of its last eight games – enter the key Atlantic Sun series at 28-20, 13-8 in conference play. Mercer and North Florida hold a share of the A-Sun lead at 15-6 and Florida Gulf Coast sits 14-7. Ironically, UNF and FGCU play a three-game series this weekend in Jacksonville.
Friday – 6 p.m. – Game No. 49
RHP Kerry Doane (10-1, 2.34) vs. RHP Brandon Barker (6-0, 2.27)
Saturday – 7 p.m. – Game No. 50
RHP Logan Rice (5-2, 2.48) vs. LHP David Randall (2-0, 5.21)
Sunday – 1 p.m. – Game No. 51
TBA vs. RHP DJ Johnson (5-2, 2.98)
- The Blue and Gold wrapped up non-conference play with a 9-3 win over UNC Asheville on Wednesday night at Thomas Stadium.
- Sophomore Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) made his first start since March 3 and picked up the win after tossing three innings of no-hit ball, while Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Dylan Tritsch (Boca Raton, Fla.), and Daniel Tucker (Hendersonville, Tenn.) finished with multi-hit games. Freeman reached base in all four plate appearances after going 3-for-3 with one triple, one walk, two runs scored and four RBI, Tritsch went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, and Tucker provided a pair of hits and drove in his first two runs in an ETSU uniform.
- Along with Nesselt, Kameron Miller (Crestview, Fla.), Will Chesney (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Freeman combined for three no-hit innings with four strikeouts to close out the game. Miller walked and struck out one hitter in the seventh, Chesney extended his scoreless innings streak to 7.1 by tossing a perfect eighth, and Freeman fanned two of the three hitters he faced in the ninth.
- With the win, the Bucs improved to 29-20 all-time against the Bulldogs, while ETSU has now won 15 of the last 17 meetings against the Big South foe.
- Mercer has won 12 of its last 15 and enters Friday's game with a record of 37-13, 15-6. The Bears are coming off a split over Belmont as Mercer defeated the Bruins 11-1 in seven innings on Tuesday, but Belmont rallied for a 6-4 10-inning victory on Wednesday afternoon at Claude Smith Field.
- The Bears are one of the top offensive teams in the country as Mercer ranks seventh in the NCAA in total home runs (51) and runs scored (377), eighth in scoring (7.5), 17th in hits (522), and 19th in slugging percentage (.451). In addition, the Bears rank second in fielding percentage (.983), fourth in walks (274), and 30th in strikeouts per nine innings pitched (7.9).
- Individually, junior first baseman Nick Backlund – who was named Louisville Slugger Preseason First Team All-American – ranks fifth nationally in RBI (62), 19th in doubles (18), and 22nd in home runs (12). Meanwhile, sophomore infielder Chesny Young – the 2012 A-Sun Freshman of the Year – ranks eighth in the NCAA in hits (81) and 30th in runs scored (49), while his .373 batting average ranks second in the A-Sun.
- Since joining the A-Sun, Mercer leads the all-time series, 17-7, but the Bucs won the season series in 2012 at Thomas Stadium.
- Kerry Doane tossed the first of his 10 career complete games against the Bears last season in the 7-2 series-clinching victory back on April 22 in Johnson City. The right-handed pitcher held Mercer to two runs (one earned) on six hits and struck out five in the complete game effort.
- Senior Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) is hitting .333 (16-48) with nine runs scored and five RBI in 11 career games versus Mercer. Green is also 8-for-12 in stolen base opportunities in the series. In addition, sophomore Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.) hit .462 (6-13) with one double, one RBI, and four runs scored against the Bears last season.

When Dick Harper (Jim Carrey) is terminated as Globodyne Corporation's VP of Communications, he assures his wife, Jane (Téa Leoni), he'll find another job in no time. Months later, their lawn is repossessed, Jane has sold her body to science, and Dick's career as a day laborer ends with his deportation to Mexico. Madder than ever and not going to take it anymore, Dick and Jane turn to the fastest-growing sector in the white-collar job market — armed robbery — as they become upscale suburban Robin Hoods, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor...namely themselves.
