In my lifetime, the Democratic party has gone from Left Center, to Liberal, and is now moving in on full blown Leftist status, and, as their vile tactics of demonizing their opponnents after the Newtown shooting show, they are going all in the destroy our gun rights
Code Pink protesters — including the group's Marxist founder, Medea Benjamin — disrupted today's press conference by National Rifle Association chairman Wayne LaPierre. Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit has video. Meanwhile, as Alex Pappas of Daily Caller reports, influential members of the nation's elite press corps were openly mocking LaPierre:
Open mic caught members of the media openly praising Code Pink, and mocking the NRA head, whither journalism? The Left, I believe, will go balls out to use this atrocity to paint gun owners as dangerous subversives, and to cripple the NRA and the gun industry as much as they can. Remember, the Left does not seem coexistence, no matter what their bumper sticker says. The Left seeks no less than the total eradication of all Conservative dissent, and if they can do serious damage to the right to own guns at the same time, they will gladly do so.
Twitchy has more on the evil Tweets the "peaceful" Left is writing
It's times like these that you wish some gun wielding, never owned a TV or games psychopath would shoot up the .@NRA offices. #FuckTheNRA
Many more like that. The level of rage, not outrage, but rage at gun owners is frightening. Sure most of these miscreants are just mouthing off, but, it makes you wonder how long until some Leftist nut tries to take "revenge" on someone with an NRA bumper sticker. I wonder when the president will call for civility? Yes, I am being sarcastic. The Twitchy link above does make me wonder if Liberals really are against gun violence, since so many of these Tweets demand that the NRA be shot. Odd, I thought the Left was ANTI-violence and tolerant? I also wonder when the media will pick up on this unhinged hate. Yes, I know, they will, five minute after Stalin is ice skating in Hell.

Europe is really looking at a worsening situation this fall the most part in many countries in particular in Southern Europe ... northern Europe holding up a little bit better ... if you think about the Americans left in America still has a strong outlook ... but a little bit weaker than last year's notably Brazil is a country that has strong employment growth ... would weaken them last year ... if you think about Asia Pacific ... bowls India and China still have very strong outlook for employment but slightly less of the lesser pace of last year ... last but not least in North America the U S ... has a robot sure we say stable employment market ... rental growth ... most of us were more receptive ... to feel we've seen some improvement in the unemployment rate ... we've seen a few months where some significant numbers of new jobs in the region ... is there a sense ... from your perspective that the US has turned up one or one point ... well clearly ... the U S employment market has come back significantly from the depths of the recession ... ended and that what has been known to bulldoze over the last couple of years ... of progress has been slow ... but steady ... so in that respect there's no reason to believe that we're faced with a sudden reversal all the progress ... but on the same old same old there's no reason to believe that forcibly don't expect a an acceleration of the job market so ... as we look ahead ... we think we can look forward to continued gradual slow improvement or the US lead ... and as a situation we've been into the frustration of many who for several years now ... there's ... been talk obviously over the last few years ... in the U S but in other places well about ... despite high employment rates ... the notion in some places of the skills mismatch ... that ... in certain kinds of fields to certain kinds of skills ... desired to greet them and perhaps global shortages of ... workers ... you notice that the from human our perspective ... and if so what sorts of skills are and most of them ... that said it's a very interesting phenomena and Andrea dichotomy between ... at the same time ... high unemployment ... and ... companies and employers say they can find the talent that they need ... to fulfill and meet their business strategies ... and an edgy look at the unemployment rate the reason behind this is the good work force ... is strata five parts of the workforce ... with Laura skills and all skills that have been very tough time in very hot unemployment rate ... other parts of the workforce ... engineers Icee professionals but also trade skills ... plumbers electricians people with specific skills knowledge acquired over a long time talking to get hit with the demographic changes ... are leaving the workforce ... that are creaking a shortage ... and Ambac shortage is real in the U S but not only in the US interesting Lee as we serve reclaims globally we find the same phenomenon ... in many different parts of the world ... interesting in in one final question ... has also been a lot of open ocean about reassuring or Renaissance if you will go to the Renaissance ... in manufacturing in the United States ... was that ...

Back in 1999 (31 years after its 1968 debut), a restored version of this animated Beatles film was shown in theaters and issued on DVD, with a stereo remix and the "Hey, Bulldog!" scene (deleted in the original American version) reinstated.
Outside of the musical numbers and a brief appearance at the end, the four jolly lads themselves didn't have much to do with the film, which was designed to fulfill their contractual obligation to United Artists for a third film; their speaking voices are provided by John Clive, Geoffrey Hughes, Peter Batten, and Paul Angelis.
The script, credited to Lee Minoff, Al Brodax, Erich Segal (in his pre-"Love Story" days) and Jack Mendelsohn, has a good number of wonderful groaner puns in the Lennon style. The wide-ranging, "Mod"-ish animation invokes illustrator Peter Max, Tex Avery's "Porky in Wackyland" and Richard Lester's earlier Beatle films; its influence was quickly felt in the work of Ralph Bakshi and Terry Gilliam.
Now there is a new DVD and Blu-ray release, transferred from a more thorough restoration, and unlike the earlier DVD, anamorphically enhanced (i.e., maximized for widescreen TVs). The case includes photos and other physical gewgaws, plus a booklet with an essay by John Lasseter. All the extras on the disc itself are ported directly from the 1999 DVD. These include "Mod Odyssey" (7:40), a "making of" short from 1968; the theatrical trailer (3:45); three very crude storyboard sequences (21:13), the first of which runs in tandem with the finished scene; behind-the-scenes photos (2:45) from November 1967, during a Beatles' visit to the animation studio; original pencil drawings (8:33); and six brief interviews with voice actors and key crew members.
The feature is accompanied by an audio commentary from producer John Coates that is, at best, moderately interesting; unfortunately it is at a level several decibels quieter than the regular soundtracks, which makes switching back and forth difficult.

Guess what we just had for dinner: Ximena's sausages in a balsamic glaze
Some real-time foodblogging here: we have literally just finished eating those sticky, glossy, fat wild boar sausages for dinner. They were lip-smackingly good. Very, very, very highly recommended..
Sausages (pork, wild boar, turkey, beef - it's your call) and balsamic vinegar - that's all there is to it. You'll find Ximena's auntie Begoña's recipe here.

What kind of sausages did you use? I don't eat pork, but there are lots of full-flavored chicken sausages on the market here in the US.

Pille, I had marked Ximena's recipe as well, but haven't eaten sausages yet since then. Next time I do though, they will definitely get the Lobstersquad treatment.

I let out an involuntary sigh when I saw these! What a gorgeous meal! I have friends with a back yard (rare here) who grill sausages on their bbq every time I go for dinner. They know that nothing will make me happier.

Oh oh oh! Gotta have some of those! Over here I love our local sausages that are both sweet and spicy so I can definitely see myself loving this! I'll give this a go next time! Thanks for the timely post :)

Tanna - or as a filling for breakfast sausages next morning (that's how K ate them:)
Katie - 'one can never eat too many sausages' - I like that wisdom :)
Kalyn - hey, thanks!
Mae - we don't have sausages for dinner very often, but I imagine they'll be appearing somewhat more frequently now.
K&S - doesn't it? :-)
Lydia - I used wild boar sausages on the first day, and plain pork sausages on the second. I guess any sausage would work, so do try with chicken or beef!
Inne - these sausages are a must-try! We made them day after again..
Dinha - you're too sweet :) I'd read your blog, but sadly I don't speak any Portuguese..
Figs Olives Wine - I imagine that reduced balsamic vinegar would also work as a sticky glaze on a BBQ..
Veron- will you let me (and Ximena) know how you liked them, please?
Jeanne - you're a true sausage girl then:) I still crave your South African pepper, halloumi & sausage sticks!
Wendy - thank you!
Joey - I'm sure you'll like them, especially if you like sweet & spicy & sour!
- 3:27 pm, July 24, 2007

Ok Pille, But I will be very happy for its visit in mine blog!
- 5:54 pm, July 24, 2007
- veron said...
I just made this for dinner tonight...it was delicious indeed. Simple but full of flavor.

I had to read my first speech off note cards and still could barely do it, but by the end of my year, I gave an entire five-minute speech without any notes.

NHHS Experience: My most memorable high school experience was the six to eight hours I spent with SOS volunteers distributing free backpacks filled with school supplies to nearly 1,000 young students. Often, when adults came in for food or goods their gratitude was tempered with a sometimes embarrassed, self-conscious attitude, but on this distribution day, there was no mistaking the pleasure and excitement on the faces of the children and their parents, thrilled with shiny new backpacks, pens, pencils, rulers, etc. Little girls ran around, smiling and laughing, wearing backpacks three-times their size. Of course they were excited with their brand-new, "grown-up" gear and perhaps more importantly I think we were able to plant the seeds of a positive attitude toward education.

Wind Walkers – Exclusive Interview Clip: Actor Castille Landon
- Published on Tuesday, 29 September 2015 22:34
- 0 Comments
Once again Courtney Solomon showcases yet another heart lurching horror under his company After Dark Films. Wind Walkers, a spine-chilling Native American tale set in the wilds of Florida, will be the 8th and final film in the '8 Films to Die For' horror festival, in theaters October 16, 2015.
Written and Directed by talented filmmaker Russell Friedenberg, and Produced by Iron Circle Pictures and Sweet Tomato Films, Wind Walkers will bring the first ever film with a Native American flair to the brand. The Dark Side Magazine has referred to the film as "Unremitting and furious, Wind Walkers breathes fresh air into the genre."
"We've saved the most unique for last," says Stephanie Caleb, EVP of Creative Affairs & Acquisitions at After Dark Films, "Wind Walkers digs deep into Native American history and the Psyche of our shared yet tortured pasts. It explores the nature of what it means to be cursed as an individual and as a community. The gradual withering away of the collective soul and all that makes us human is on display in this horrifying tale of the violent rebalancing of natures scales."
The film stars Phil Burke (Hell on Wheels), Russell Friedenburg (Among Ravens), Kiowa Gordon (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), Zane Holtz (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Christopher Kriesa (Cast Away), Castille Landon (Sex Ed), and Glen Powell Jr. (The Expendables 3; The Dark Knight Rises).
"Wind Walkers was a blast to make and we think taking it into the world with After Dark will be equally fun," says producers Heather Rae and Dori Sperko, "Russell's vision plays on many levels and the genre audience is in for a wild ride!"
'8 Films to Die For' will be released in theaters on October 16, 2015, with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment handling all ancillary forms of media, including Digital HD™, DVD and VOD.
A U.S. solider returns home from captivity to find that his best friend and fellow former POW has gone AWOL. While out on an annual hunting trip with his friend's father and some extended family, their group comes under attack by an ancient Native American curse that has mysterious connections to his best friend's heritage and the prison in which they were once held captive.

SunSpot needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 446 designs submitted by 97 freelance designers.
Sun Spot
After years of electrical utility work, I'm going into business selling mini donuts, coffee, tea and hot chocolate at farmer's markets, fairs and festivals.
After 30 years moving through the electrical trades and into management at the local electric utility, I became a consultant in asset management. I set up a company, Sun Smith Inc., and had a logo created (attached), which I like.
Now I'm moving on to different things. It will be a family affair, with my husband and I to start. We'll be selling across the United States, giving us a chance to travel. Our menu will be mini donuts and beverages, but may expand to other items.
We are going to make the donuts be as healthy as fried food can be, no trans fat and low saturated fat. We also will use a part of our net profits to sponsor a child (or more).
The mini donuts are made using the Lil' Orbits machine, you can see the machine and pictures of donuts at "http://www.lilorbits.net". The initial choices will be plain, cinnamon sugar or powder sugar toppings. The mini donuts are the main attraction - the beverages are just to enhance the donut experience.
Impulse food buyers, that will be coming back for more. At farmer's markets - we expect repeat business, people who recognize our logo and know the donuts taste great. At festivals and fairs - we want to catch the eye of the person walking down the fairway.
Additionally, food booth selectors. To get into fairs, festivals, markets and sporting events I will need to send proposal submittals to these decision makers. I need them to be impressed with my professionalism, follow through, and ability to attract customers (they often take a percentage of sales for their space fee).
A logo that will be used on the booth/concession trailer, business cards, and stationary. Playing on the sun, or the outline of the sun from the existing logo is fine, but not required. Also, identify the font that should be used with the logo.
The company name should be part of the overall logo, while the words "mini donuts" or "donuts" should NOT. Mini Donuts will be part of the bigger signage for the booth/concession trailer and any advertising. Often the logo will be much smaller than the surrounding print.
I like uncomplicated designs. If it can be in colors that trigger folks to be hungry, great (I haven't a clue what they might be).
Hinting at or having frosted, sprinkle covered, and chocolate donuts, along with cinnamon rolls (spirals) are not likely to be among the finalists, since those aren't among the initial products we'll be selling.
I'm open to your ideas. Questions, let me know.

Find Pauldo! Has he jumped bail? Is he on the lamb? Is he saving lambs now?
Rumor has been proven false by German conservationists working behind the scenes.
Paul Watson most certainly did NOT jump bail.
Reading is such fun...rumors fly...the challenge to confirm or deny gives some of us something to do.
Some highly detailed speculation in Costa Rica here by people who could be uncovering the actual criminal finner links instead.
If I had a chance to bet on the case, I'd say the case will fade away by Costa Rican finners' inaction in about 17 days.
Take a vacation! Watch Moby! There is no news!
ERROR CORRECTION: We were wrong. Capt. Paul Watson found it necessary to leave Germany and forfeit his bail money. His current whereabouts are unknown. We wish him happiness, and the best of luck. We will carry on your work!

'American Horror Story: Coven' Voodoo Teaser Gives Us "Pins & Needles"
When 'American Horror Story: Coven' debuted its freakish first teaser yesterday, we knew it could mean only one thing: endlessly maddening daily snippets to discuss from now until the October premiere! The latest look at FX's third cycle for the Ryan Murphy horror thriller puts its voodoo theme on full display, and quite literally sticks it to us with its graphic visuals.
Appropriately dubbed "Pins & Needles," the second spot for 'American Horror Story: Coven' features no series stars as per tradition, instead showing us a human voodoo doll who comes to life and, you guessed it, makes a freaky mad scramble for the camera. To say the least, it's a bit more disturbing than the first teaser, for all its detention-trapped children leisurely hanging out on (or in) the walls.
Elsewhere, we know that the third season will divide between both present and 1830s New Orleans, and highlight a clash between witches and voodoo. 'American Horror Story: Coven' will also welcome newcomers Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, Patti LuPone and Gabourey Sidibe, along with returning franchise regulars Jessica Lange, Denis O'Hare, Alexandra Breckinridge, Lily Rabe, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters.
Gird your stomach first, and check out the latest 'American Horror Story: Coven' teaser in the video above! Do you think round three will prove the scariest yet when the FX drama premieres this October?

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew allegedly hit a security guard in the face at the Conch House bar and restaurant in St. Augustine, Fla. on Sunday, according to a police report.
His agent, however, said no charges have been filed and Jones-Drew didn't hit anybody.
"We have confirmed with the St. Augustine Police Department that no charges have been filed against Maurice and that the matter is under investigation," agent Adisa Bakari told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. "While Maurice was present when the events in question began, he quickly departed the premises immediately thereafter. Maurice was not involved in any physical altercation, whatsoever."
St. Augustine police later issued a statement explaining the situation.
"The St. Augustine Police Department has taken a notarized statement of Misdemeanor Battery against Jacksonville Jaguar player Maurice Jones-Drew that stemmed from an altercation at the Conch House on Sunday, May 26, 2013," the statement read. "Jones-Drew has not been charged with any crime and maintains his innocence. He is cooperating fully with our investigation.
"This matter is an on-going investigation at this time. As soon as we complete our investigation, we will send out a release with our findings or conclusion."
According to the police report, a friend of Jones-Drew's put his hands on a security guard after being warned to stop touching a young woman. An alleged scuffle ensued wherein the security guard -- who goes by the nickname "Hillbilly" in the police report -- put the friend in a headlock. At that point, Jones-Drew allegedly knocked out the security guard with a closed fist to the cheek.
Doctors found contusions and a bone bruise but no broken bones in Hillbilly's swollen jaw.
"We are aware of the situation regarding Maurice Jones-Drew and are in the process of gathering more information," the Jaguars said in a statement to Rapoport. "Due to this being a legal matter, we'll have no further comment at this time."
Although Jones-Drew, a three-time Pro Bowl pick, has been a model citizen since entering the NFL, he was accused of assaulting a Denny's patron just before the 2006 NFL Draft. Charges ultimately were dropped.
Jones-Drew will be investigated under the league's personal-conduct policy. The NFL Commissioner's office typically allows the legal process to play out in incidents such as this one before making any decisions.

Scrapbook-worthy memories from first exhibition game
Scottsdale, Ariz. --
The clock jumped forward within minutes, all the way to summer. Exhibition baseball became the very essence of the big leagues on a warm, sunny Wednesday in Arizona, and the Bay Area flavor was overwhelming.
It's been said that the Giants don't have any players in that "don't leave your seat when he's hitting" category, but that's not true. Putting aside Pablo Sandoval, Hunter Pence and Buster Posey, each of whom could stake a claim, Michael Morse definitely fits the bill.
Morse's off-field power is part of his approach, and it is formidable. He has a smooth and natural off-field stroke, and he's not about to make adjustments in deference to AT&T Park's imposing right-field barrier.
Meanwhile, out in right field for the A's, there was Josh Reddick, a man eager for redemption after playing only 114 games last season because of wrist injuries.
He looks more than ready.
In the second inning, taking his first swings in anger for the Giants, Morse lofted a towering, majestic drive, looking every bit like a home run toward the "Salty Senorita" behind the right-field fence. Reddick leaped off the warning track, got his glove over the top of the 10-foot fence and brought the ball back - about as fine a catch as you'll see in any season.
Morse got a kick out of it, waving in tribute to Reddick as he veered off the first-base line, while some two dozen A's lined up in the dugout to greet their teammate.
It was wild. It was crazy. And then it happened again.
Fourth inning, same off-field swing, to the same spot, and another sweet bit of thievery by Reddick.
"No way!" shouted the fans sitting near me behind home plate, while a man from Chico named Larry Strand figured, "Reddick's going out there with a ball in his pocket!"
Morse's response wasn't quite as good-natured this time, but he offered a funny, engaging interview in the clubhouse a few moments later.
"He has the whole Spider-Man thing going," Morse said. "He's known for doing that. I'm happy to help him work on it in spring training.
"I'm thinking there's no way he could do that again," Morse said. "I was like, 'I thought we were friends.' But he takes his defense seriously; he's one of the best right fielders in the game.
"Hey, first game of spring," Morse cracked. "Who wants two home runs already?"
Know this about Morse: He'll be just fine when the Giants start playing in China Basin. Many of those off-field shots will carom off the arcade, if they don't leave the park altogether. There's also the inviting Triples Alley, where even the relatively slow-footed Morse can cash in, and it's significant to know that he didn't make full contact with either of Wednesday's drives. They were long fly balls that just kept carrying, and carrying ... right into the glove of an exceptional athlete.
By the late innings, Reddick had sent out a deadpan tweet: "Well, that was a fun day. Guys came out swinging it. Pitching staff threw well. Nothing too exciting."
Within seven minutes, Morse had become a follower.
Other thoughts on the exhibition opener:
-- It always seems these Bay Bridge exhibitions mean a little bit more to the A's. They were downright ruthless in the Sandy Alderson-Tony La Russa years (I remember Dennis Eckersley coming in to get the final outs of a tight game, really ticking off the Giants), and at the very least on Wednesday, the A's were ready to rake: 15 hits through the first six innings.
-- Good stuff from Brandon Belt: Nailing the first pitch for a solid single, then working the count to 2-2 for another hard-hit single - both to the opposite field. He also started a double play with a difficult stab of a lively short-hop, and every fan should thank Brian Sabean for completely ruling out Belt as an outfielder. He's a gem at first base, and should be there permanently.
-- Pay close attention to the spring performances of Ehire Adrianza (who hit a three-run homer Wednesday) and Tony Abreu. Marco Scutaro's ongoing back problem is a legitimate concern, perhaps forcing one of these guys into a starting role at times during the season. Both are out of options, as opposed to the longshot candidate, Nick Noonan.
-- Visual treats from the heart of the order: Sandoval arrives at the plate with his elaborate routine featuring taps of the bat and markings in the dirt, in honor of various family members. Just before Pence steps in, he unleashes the bizarre practice swing of a man trying to strain an oblique. Morse takes ferocious cuts in the on-deck circle, but when he steps in the box, he settles for a gentle, slow-motion half-swing, as if he just woke up. Long live this game of style.

For centuries the Galaxy has been ruled by the Galactic Senate. The Galactic Senate is made up of a group of senators from every race, and is headed by the Chancellor, and its headquarters is on the Citadel. The Senate is entirely diplomatic, making all its decisions through votes. However, many are beginning to speak out against the Chancellor, and there may be Galactic War. You are the leader of your race, you control everything that happens inside your nation, lead your people through these difficult times.
1.No godmoding.
2.No steamrolling other races.
3. No overpowered unions like the Covenent from Halo (you will have to choose one of the factions within the Covenent), but Unions like the CIS from Star Wars will be allowed as they are hopelessly weak separated. (I will tell you if your choice is overpowered)
4. No mega-destroyers like the Reapers from Mass Effect.
5. Your race may only start with 1 star system, if you want an empire you will have to make it.
6. Your nation may only have 1 Superweapon, post what it is and I will evaluate (I have the Ark (from Halo), but we have no idea how to operate it and that will take time, I use it as a colony "world")
7. You may only find 2 ancient installations, constructs etc. (Mine are Requiem and the Ark, these installations could be from, Forerunner, Prothean, etc)
8. I will control the Senate until Black Marshes returns, I wont control what they do, but I will be incharge of the Senate meetings etc.
9. No one liners(I'll make an exception for conversations) and you must use proper puncuation and grammar (Or to your best ability)
10. Your military and fleet size, should reflect on when you join, newer players would have a smaller fleet the old ones etc.
11. Players are allowed to keep what they got from the previous RP, but are welcome to start fresh.
12. Make your ideas original.
13. 13. I shall be adding random events, do not argue with me like a child and accept what happens, there will be good and bad events for everyone.

Brothers, a left-hander from Chapel Hill, Tenn., starred on the mound for three seasons for the Lipscomb Bisons. He was drafted 34th in the first round of the First Year Major League Player Draft in June and decided to forgo his final season of college eligibility.
With stops with the Tri-City Dust Devils in the rookie level Northwest League and the Asheville Tourists of the Class A South Atlantic League. He has discovered that life in the low minors isn't as horrible as many stories might indicate.
"Getting back to the East Coast has been good," said Brothers who started his pro career in Pasco, Wash., with the Dust Devils. "What a lot of people don't know about the Tri-Cities area is that it is a desert. They only get about seven inches of rain each year.
"The bus rides haven't been that bad. I think 4 ½ or five hours is the longest trip I have made. You can eat fast food or go to restaurant. And if you want fruit or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich it is usually on the spread in the clubhouse. Some people need more, but that is all I need. It has all been good."
The Rockies have turned Brothers into a reliever, a role he worked on in two summers in the Cape Cod League. He has worked in seven games for the Tourists. In nine innings he has struck out seven batters, scattered five hits and allowed three runs, all earned.
He pitched Tuesday night against the Lexington Legends, giving up one run in a 3-1 loss for Asheville.
"We are giving him clean innings so he is not coming in with men on base to start with," said Asheville pitching coach Dave Schuler. "We are trying to give him a taste of what it is like. He has a lot of innings under his belt already so we are trying to protect him a little bit.
"His stuff is so good that he has been over-matching most of the hitters he has faced here. When you look at the total package he has stuff, he has command on both sides of the plate and he has deception. He is having a good time of it. The sky is the limit."
Schuler is working on two areas of the game with Brothers _ a change-up and his pick-off move to first base.
"He will probably go up quite rapidly," said Schuler. "His stuff will be able to handle the next level. He just has to work on his pick-off move and his change-up.
"As a left-handed pitcher he is going to face six or seven right-handed batters most of the time. This league is an exception because it is loaded with lefties. The change-up will be a big pitch for him. He has picked it up quickly and is using it in games. It is coming in at about 85 or 84 miles per hour which is perfect for him."
Schuler likes the mindset that he has seen in Brothers as he goes about his work. He credits the coaches that Brothers has worked with in the past for giving him a special mental edge.
Even if he doesn't pitch he still spends much of each day working on his pitching with workouts ranging from the field to the gym.
"He is smart," said Schuler. "He is a quick learner. He is a pleasure to coach.
"He has what we call the knack which is the ability to not only grasp what you are being taught, but to be able to be one step ahead in his thinking. His ability to process things is very good. He is always thinking about other areas related to what I am teaching him, like the pick move to first base. He is really ahead of the game."
Brothers is confident that he can get batters out on a consistent basis. He likes the progress he has made with his changeup.
"I'm enjoying going out there as a reliever and trying to put my best stuff on the line at the moment instead of trying to preserve it for late in the game," said Brothers. "The strike zone is what I am worrying about. Working clean innings has been the plan since I started out at Tri-City. I want to get in there and get in some messes to give me the experience that I need."
Brothers has been forced to quickly adjust to new teammates on two different teams. Two of his teammates with the Tourists, pitcher Stephen Dodson and infielder Ryan Peisel, were on the Georgia team the Bisons beat in the first game of the NCAA Tournament in 2008.
"The jumping around is part of minor league baseball," said Brothers. "It is neat to play with guys that you played against in the past. There are a lot of good guys. It isn't as bad as you would think."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Female senators and the Democratic National Committee Chair, Tom Perez, are calling on fellow Democratic Sen. Al Franken to resign.
Perez said that Franken should step down, and that "everyone must share the responsibility of building a culture of trust and respect for women."
In Facebook posts and Tweets, the women said the two-term senator should step aside after a fresh allegation that he forcibly tried to kiss a woman in 2006.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wrote on Facebook that while Franken is entitled to have the Ethics Committee conclude its review, "I believe it would be better for our country if he sent a clear message that any kind of mistreatment of women in our society isn't acceptable by stepping aside to let someone else serve."
Sens. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Patty Murray of Washington state and Claire McCaskill of Missouri joined Gillibrand in pressing for Franken to quit.
The senator is facing other allegations that he groped women.
Sen. Al Franken on Wednesday denied a new sexual misconduct accusation that came from a former Democratic congressional aide that he tried to forcibly kiss her after a taping of his radio show in 2006.
The Minnesota Democrat said in a statement that the allegation, reported by Politico, was "categorically not true."
The woman, who was not identified by name, said Franken pursued her after her boss had left and she was collecting her belongings. She said she ducked to avoid his lips, and that Franken told her: "It's my right as an entertainer."
Franken, in his statement, said the idea he would claim such conduct as a right as an entertainer was "preposterous."
The senator is facing a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into previous claims by several other women that he groped them or sought to forcibly kiss them.
"This allegation is categorically not true and the idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous," Franken said. "I look forward to fully cooperating with the ongoing ethics committee investigation."
The allegations against Franken began in mid-November when Los Angeles radio anchor Leeann Tweeden accused him of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour.
Several other allegations have followed, including a woman who says that Franken put his hand on her buttocks during a picture pose at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010. Two women, who asked to remain anonymous, have told the Huffington Post that Franken squeezed their buttocks at political events during his first campaign for the Senate in 2008. A fourth woman, an Army veteran, alleged Franken cupped her breast during a photo op on a USO tour in 2003.
Franken has apologized for his behavior but he has disputed some of the allegations.

Jason Crockett: Ray Milland! He is some billionaire who pollutes the local swampland around him (I wonder what Captain Planet would say to him?), because he doesnt like the wildlife. He is an idiot who doesnt know when to call it quits. He dies from a heart attack caused by fear from the frogs I guess.
Pickett Smith: Sam Elliot! Hes some freelance photographer snooping around Jasons island. He is a bit of an environmentalist. All snakes, beware of his power with a canoe paddle!
Karen Crockett: Joan Van Ark! She is Jasons granddaughter and Clints sister. She seems to be in love Pickett. At least she has some good taste in men, unlike her sister-in-law.
Clint Crockett: I dont want this guy driving a speedboat in the same area I would be canoeing in. He is killed by a snake? He got pretty bloodied up for getting bitten by a snake.
Jenny Crockett: Clints wife. She is pretty and so could do much better than Clint! Im not sure about this one, was she killed by a snapping turtle?
Bella Garrington: She's married to Kenneth Martindale. I have no clue if she was killed or just chased out of the area by seagulls when she left.
Charles: He is the butler for the mansion. He does the logical thing and decides to leave when people start dying. Im not sure if he was killed or just chased out of the area by seagulls.
Michael Martindale: He doesnt like Clint. Who can blame him? I dont get how he died. Did the spiders constrict him to death with their webs, did he die from a heart attack, or spider bites?
Kenneth Martindale: He likes taking pictures of his wife, Bella. He dies from suffocation when the lizards close the door to greenhouse and knock over some jars that release some toxic fumes.
Stuart Martindale: Hes married to Iris. A couple of alligators decide to eat him.
Iris Martindale: Shes a butterfly collector. She ends up chasing a butterfly and it ends up leading to her death. How ironic.
Frogs: I really hate frogs after this movie. They seem like the leaders of the animal rebellions going on and seem to edge every animal in the area to attack the humans. There are two things that I hate a lot about these frogs! Number one, they only kill one person and that is scene is very lame at best. Number two, a good chuck of the frogs that we see in this film are, in reality, just toads.
Spiders, Snakes, Alligators, Snapping Turtles, Sea Gulls and Large Lizards: Interestingly enough, I find that most of these animals aren't even native to this area where the film is going. They pretty much kill almost everyone in the film in some of the most crazy death scenes that I have ever seen. Even a snapping turtle is able to kill someone. Yeah, you don't even need to see the death to know it is stupid.
+ Frogs can lead rebellions against people.
+ Frogs can break through glass windows.
+ People can still breathe after they die.
+ Snakes can crawl up walls and ceilings
+ Two spiders can seemingly wrap an entire body up in webs in a matter of seconds.
+ People turn pale in a matter of seconds after dying.
+ Blood looks like paint.
+ Frogs have psychic powers.
+ Snapping turtles can kill a full grown human.
+ Frogs can cause people to have heart attacks.
+ Spider webbing looks strangely like moss.
1 min Is that lizard even native to this area?
5 min Wait a minute. How does he not hear that speed boat?
9 min Random footage of frogs. Its like Gods sending another plague of frogs.
16 min More frog footage. Make them kill someone or dont show me anymore frogs!
17 min What? That other kid is a girl? It looks like a boy in a skirt.
22 min Despite being dead, he is still breathing apparently.
23 min Again, random footage of frogs.
27 min How did that snake get in the house?
33 min Its dark again, despite being daylight in the last scene.
42 min There is no way that rattlesnake is native to this area!
47 min I really hate frogs.
55 min There goes a perfectly good cake. I care more about the cake than I do the actors at this point.
64 min You either kill someone or get lost!
74 min Darn it! If a snapping turtle can kill someone, why wont you?!!
79 min I really hate all of this frog footage.
85 min RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A WINDOW!
88 min AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! WILL YOU FROGS SHUT UP??!!!
Closing Credits What? No director? I want to know the name of the man who caused me to go insane because of frogs!!
Pickett Smith: [Looking at Kenneth, dead on the ground in the greenhouse] Is there a place where we can put him?
Charles: Yes sir, I'll show you.
Karen Crockett: You make us sound like the ugly rich.
Jason Crockett: We are the ugly rich.
Pickett Smith: I know it sounds strange as hell, but what if nature is trying to get back at us.
Karen Crockett: (After hearing some fireworks go off) Something tells me its the Fourth of July is here.
Clint Crockett: Or the Martians have landed.
No, you are not mistaken. This is a, I use this term loosely, horror movie. I couldnt believe that this film was put into DVD form. This type of film you would assume would have been lost forever in the endless sea of animal horror movies. However, this is not the case since I have this DVD in my possession. So, let me talk about my personal pain as I watched this film.
The film opens up with Pickett Smith canoeing through a swamp taking some wild life photos and a couple of shots of the pollution the area; it also doubles as our opening credits. It is exciting as it sounds. Anyhow, these two morons, Karen and Clint Crockett, show up in a speedboat and capsize our photographer. Trying to act nice, the two pick up Pickett and take them over to Jason Crocketts house that they are currently staying at.
Also, at this point, I like to say that I am 10 minutes in and I am already sick of seeing frogs and hearing them croak. Its like Jungle Hell, but with frogs.
So, Pickett meets the family and Jason interrogates him to find out what he is doing around these parts. Karen pulls him away and brings him into the house so he can change his wet clothes. There, Pickett calls his editor to tell him what is going on, and wouldnt you know it, the phone lines are dead! Did frogs cut the line? I dont know and I really dont care. Karen introduces Pickett to the rest of the family and we get some boring dialogue scenes as well. Exciting! When will these frogs kill someone already and make this plot interesting?
Moving along, everyone is outside having a picnic and Jason interrogates Pickett some more. Jason reveals that frogs have been overpopulating the area (No kidding) and Jason is trying to get rid of them using pollution. Why is he telling this to an environmentalist? He then asks Pickett to look for his friend Grover, who is missing in action. Pickett agrees and heads out. So he walks around the local area and finds a can of pesticide spray lying around with tons of deal animals as well. He keeps searching around and finds Grover dead lying face first in the ground with snakes and frogs crawling all over him. I find it interesting that the guys skin is decaying rather quickly, despite dying in I suppose less than 24 hours.
Pickett drives back to house during the daylight hours, even though in the last scene it was clearly night time! The scene changes again back to night and the family is hanging around in the living room talking about how annoying the frogs are. Pickett shows up and reports his discovery to Jason, who tells him to keep it quiet since he and his family are celebrating a couple of their birthdays and the Fourth of July tomorrow. Meanwhile, the maid discovers a snake of some sort hanging from the chandelier. I dont know how a snake can end up in that chandelier personally, since it would need to first get inside the house, crawl into the dinning room, crawl up the wall, slither cross the ceiling, and climb down the chain which the chandelier was hanging from. So, Jason comes in, shoots the snake, and has Charles remove it. Yeah, Im still bored, but I must continue forward.
Pickett believes nature is attacking them on purpose and tries to persuade Jason that he and his family maybe in trouble. Of course, he doesnt believe it and blows him off. The next day is Jason Crocketts birthday and the Fourth of July, so everyone begins setting up for the celebration. During the day, Michael goes out hunting I assume and ends up shooting himself in the leg at one point. Thats what he gets for not holding his shotgun the right way while running. Then these spiders, that are certainly not native to this area, somehow quickly wrap him up in a large web and he for some reason dies. The reason is not very clear how he died and your guess is as good as mine if you have seen the scene.
Next, Iris Martindale chases after a butterfly and ends up being attacked from all around by snakes, and dies of a snake bite. The snake is clearly not from the area as well. Kenneth gets killed as well. He is inside this greenhouse and a bunch of komodo dragons(?), geckos, and big lizards knock over this toxic liquid that for some reason turns into gas that suffocates him to death. Then Stuart gets killed by some alligators while looking from Iris. Just to stop for a second, the title says Frogs and shows on the cover of the DVD a hand inside of a frogs mouth. Well, no one has been eaten by a frog yet, much less killed. Are you angry yet like me?
Despite doing the logical thing, Jason wants to go through with birthday despite everyone getting killed all around. Maybelle, Charles, and Bella decide to leave the island for good with Clint driving them back to the mainland with his speedboat. Im not sure if they survive or not, but I just assume that they were chased out of the area by seagulls and they dropped their suitcases along the way. Somehow, when Clint had tied up the speedboat to the dock, the boat drifted away from the dock. He goes swimming for it and ends up dying because of a snake bite? There was a lot of blood to suggest otherwise, but I assume that since I saw a bunch of snakes slithering towards him in the water. Then when his wife, Karen, goes to help him, she gets killed by a snapping turtle. This is really really stupid. Yet again, the frogs havent killed anyone. ARGH!
This is where the survivors draw the line. Pickett, Karen, and Clint & Jennys kids decide to leave the island on Picketts canoe, with the idiot Jason staying behind. As they leave, the animals decide to attack them. I dont know why they care; the people are leaving the area and are never planning on coming back, so there is no point in killing them. Then a car comes along and picks them up, taking them away from the area. Back at the house later that night, the frogs break into it through a window (Those things are pretty strong) and start an insane amount of croaking. I think then Jason ends up dying from a heart attack during this scene. So, at the very least, the heart attack could have been brought on by the frogs, so in some sense they could have killed someone.
This movie I cannot believe it is far worse than Jaws: The Revenge. At least that movie had somewhat of an interesting plot. This one bored me to death, drove me insane by all the frogs, had the worst soundtrack I ever heard, and had some of the dumbest and worst death scenes I have ever seen. If you want to see a movie about killer frogs that only kill one person while other animals kills everyone else, have fun this! If you dont, I wouldnt blame you. One last thing, most of those so-called frogs are really just toads in the movie. I repeat, ARGH!

Nice review, IG.
The person you have to blame for this film is one George McCowan.
88 min AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! WILL YOU FROGS SHUT UP??!!!
But, be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.

Yeah, I mention that at the very end of the review. It is just another thing to add to the list of stuff I hate about this movie.
On a different note for everyone, I just reread the review and fixed some errors I saw in the review. That should make it better.

Thank-you for the review. It brings back old memories. I always thought Charles and Bella, if that is the name of the Afro-American woman in the film, were killed, but off screen. Which raises an interesting point about race in American horror films of the early '70's. At least, in this one, you can kill white character, while they are on the screen, but any black character in the film, has to be killed off-screen.

Kristen Bearfield
Kristen Bearfield • Kristen Bearfield is a natural light photographer based in Hickory, North Carolina, and a songwriter and musical artist who sings, plays guitar, mandolin & banjo with The Hurleys, a North Carolina bluegrass gospel group. Raised in the mountains of East Tennessee, Kristen grew up with the sounds of bluegrass, gospel and country music all around her. KB Photography exists to capture priceless moments through pictures that you will cherish forever; Natural light music, lifestyle, and wedding photography.
Photography • It all started just taking pictures of family and friends at special events such as birthdays, reunions, Christmas, and proms. I got my first SLR camera and I was hooked. I couldn't put the camera down! Ask anybody around me! As a musician, I believe God has given me this new passion for photography to express the creativity He has given me in another avenue.
As time has passed, more people have asked me to do pictures for them. I still get excited anytime someone asks because its all still a new adventure to me! I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I believe God has given me this passion for a reason. My goal with my photography, is to capture life as it happens. To see the little details in life that will always remind you of that specific place in time. To capture your wedding day, prom, senior year, or your child as he or she grows so much each and every day. Contact me at email@example.com or 828.312.1628 if you are interested in a session! I would be honored to share your life with you for a day, creating memories that you will cherish forever!
Music • Raised in the mountains of East Tennessee, Kristen grew up with the sounds of bluegrass, gospel and country music all around her. At an early age, a passion and love for this music resonated deep within her soul. Her upbringing in these mountains gave her a love for the heritage of bluegrass and country music she has today. Early proponents of her music included her great Uncle Clarence "Tater" Tate, who played bass and fiddle for the great Bill Monroe for many years. Her diverse love for music was also nurtured by her Grandmother who would sit on her back porch overlooking the hills of Tennessee listening to the Grand Ole Opry coming over the radio, her Mother who encouraged and taught her songs about faith, love and family, and her Aunt as she played the piano in their little country church teaching Kristen the hymns of the faith.
Now at just 22 years of age, Kristen draws off her rich musical heritage while also embracing innovation every time she performs. From early on in her life, whenever she sang people took notice. Her voice, believability, and passion have pierced the hearts of those who have had the chance to hear her. Her strong faith in the Lord and desire to serve Him drive her to have excellence in all she does, and give her the ability to present music with a depth and passion beyond her years.
Genre, age, nor limitations have held her back. She beautifully blends the traditional ancient tones with modern licks, chords and melodic combinations to create something so fresh and innovative. Playing, Guitar, Mandolin, and Banjo along with her versatile songwriting abilities make her a well-versed instrumentalist and musician. Overcoming hardships in her life, including a traumatic car accident in 2008, Kristen has defeated many odds to rise above stronger than ever. Kristen has been a part of The Hurleys, a bluegrass gospel group based out of North Carolina since 2006. You may visit www.hurleysbluegrass.com for more information.

In 1840, with the advent of the pioneer migration westward, John Russell began the manufacture of hunting and skinning knives along the banks of the Green River in Deerfield, (later annexed to Greenfield), Massachusetts. The knives had a nine inch steel blade and a wooden handle and were shipped dull so their owners could sharpen them as they wished. The knives' reputation grew rapidly as the demand for them increased with the western migration and trade with Native groups. Between 1840 and 1860, Russell's Green River Works produced 720,000 knives for the American west. Disputes were often settled with a Green River knife, the personal weapon of nearly every scout, hunter, miner, and trapper. To "give it to 'em up to the Green River" meant to bury a knife in your opponent's belly up to the trade mark stamped on the blade.

I suppose if it was Microsoft doing it instead of an unknown, it might be considered something to turn over to PR and spin it as MS serving the user and improving the web experience.
If it were the Government, every byte of information on the Internet belongs to the many elected and appointed individuals anyway, there wouldn't even be a problem. Except the Government can get the information by asking in a way that is hard to refuse, so no need for hacking.
I know you are talking about a crime, but with the examples the individuals in government and big business set for us, what makes it crime? Because paupers are the ones doing it?
By the time President Clinton was done, the very existence of sex in America was in question, depending on how you define it maybe.
As if there isn't enough actual crime in America, the FBI is interested salacious email like this make up:
Subject: Your Talk At Harvard
Dear General Petraeus,
Hearing you speak at Harvard was a real eye-opening experience. I'd like to thank you for giving your time, and sharing your wisdom. I wanted to ask if there was any way I could talk to you further about my research work. Your help would be invaluable.
Best Regards, Paula Broadwell
Hello Ms. Broadwell,
It was my pleasure to speak to you and the rest of those gathered. I would be glad to talk with you further. Perhaps we can set up a time to meet in person, and you can explain to me in more specific terms what you're looking for. Do you like waffles?
Sincerely, Gen. David Petraeus
P.S. And please, call me David.
Hi David,
I do very much like waffles, and please call me Paula. I am very happy you're willing to hear what I have in my mind. I will let your schedule dictate our rendezvous. Just say the word and I'll be there.
Many thanks! Best, Paula.
I know a 21 year-old girl. Her mother spends more time in prison than at home. Her father never seemed to notice or take interest in her or bother with parenting.
Her family has always been whatever gang of kids she hangs out with. How do we expect to turn out?
California Governor Jerry Brown is pardoning people at a slightly slower rate than the People convict them.
One man pardoned tried to use his attorney power and position to get sex off a minor in trouble. He would give her freedom if she would give him sex.
A grandmother convicted of killing her grandson, even after the Supreme Court decisions saying she should be in prison was pardoned by him.
One hundred and forty-nine in two years.
What am I actually wanting to say?
Maybe when corruption is at the top in so many levels, it seems natural to me for their abuse of power and disregard for people filter back down through the ranks.
These days it seems even the Secret Service expects the privilege of stealing services from prostitutes with impunity. Well, maybe not so much as before.
I want to go down on record with this statement:
None of this looks like Walton's Mountain to me

Post subject: Yahoo Accounts Hijacked via XSS-Type Attack
Subject description: Advice
This theft of account data from email servers is becoming more common and I was hit yesterday. There is little you can do to prevent it but you can take steps to alert yourself to it and to minimise the effects.
1. Use a client to access your hotmail account such as Outlook/Thunderbird and restrict the contacts list on the server to only a couple of names. (Ideally only people you know to be tech savvy and likely to recognise spam)
2. Make sure that you include your own email address on the contacts list held on the server. If your account is compromised spam will be sent to everyone on your list and you will immediately be alerted when you appear to send yourself an email.
If you do suffer an attack swiftly change your password and security questions/ answers. Also alert the users on your web based contact list - which will only be a couple of people if you follow this advice.

Yahoo mail has been having security problems since the 1990s, nothing new.
Also, nothing new that some accounts have gotten malware that takes all the people from their friend lists and gives it to sketchy accounts, scammers I suppose, in the messenger.

There is nothing new on any of that, just a clever phising campaign using a XSS attack against people who click spammy links from unknown senders.
I see no reason to be worried, the e-mail protocol and any decent mail server is quite segure if you don't aloud mime files to be loaded (which should happen by default) and don't click spam links.

Wesley Wright is on the Braves' wish list
The Braves want a left-handed reliever. The Astros have Wesley Wright. The Braves are interested in Wesley Wright, apparently, but are more interested in the Cubs' James Russell or the Brewers' (and former Brave) Mike Gonzalez.
