A Group Of Squirrels Is Called A Scurry.I adore squirrels! Something about them makes me happy! :) I wish there were more of them where I live. The low squirrel population probably reflects the quite high stray cat population... When will people learn to spay or neuter their pets? *Sigh*.... At my old apartment there...

Yup, I Like To Feed Em TooI had a tray of mixed nuts sitting on my dresser for the longest time. I didn't want those leftovers (mainly almonds and brazil nuts...

My Most Favorite Mythos Character....We have all at least seen a squirrel before and I am sure that everyone knows the beady little buggers.

Saved One a Couple of Months Ago....The picture is a flying squirrel. That's what we saved. It had gotten trapped in our mouse trap in the attic. =[ Didn't even know they could get into it. But we got him out & he was fine. We don't use the mousetrap anymore. We've got enough cats around. Heehee...
Feeding Em NutsWhen I was 11-12 years old, me and my neighborhood friend who was 5 at the time took a bucket of peanuts, sat int he middle of my lawn, and waited for the squirrels to come. Eventually they did, and they grabbed the nuts right out of our fingers! I never knew I would get so...

We recently moved into a housewhich has oak trees in the back yard. One of the oak trees has a hole in it which houses an impressively large family of squirrels. They are fun to watch these furry neighbors of ours.

That's Just WrongI love squirrels. They are adorable. There are about a billion of them running around at the park I go to all the time. My cousin said he wanted to go squirrel hunting because he had a craving for barbecued squirrel. Why would you want to kill such a cute defenseless animal for...

Mountain Air DuctRead MoreMountain Air Duct Services improves air quality by hunting out dust and dander in all of the crannies in which it hides, from the tufts of carpet to the hard-to-reach panels of air ducts and dryer vents. Experts arrive equipped with powerful vacuums to remove malevolent dirt, debris, and allergens the home's airways, which they can bolster against future infestation with UV lamps. Specially trained and certified cleaners purge carpets and upholstery with techniques catered to each type of fabric, scouring suede with a gentle wand and drying oriental rugs with the wind of one hand clapping. Armed with infrared cameras and hygrometers, the crews ferret out mold and water damage before sanitizing, deodorizing, and disinfecting affected areas.Redeem from HomeSan Jose, CA US
USAir Duct and Carpet Cleaning San JoseRead MoreStatic electricity is generally considered a nuisance, causing hair to stand on end or clothes to cling awkwardly to the body. But for the team at USAir Duct and Carpet Cleaning, it's an effective pollutant-nabbing technique. The air-care experts outfit HVAC systems with electrostatic filters that attract airborne particles as they float past and hold them until the filter can be washed. Because the non-disposable filters just require regular cleanings, they can provide a lifetime of reuse, and their design includes an antimicrobial material that restricts the growth of mold and bacteria on the filter surface. Electrostatic filtration is just one of USAir's many natural cleaning methods. Technicians install UV-light air purifiers on blowers, which break down the molecular bonds of viruses, germs, bacteria, and mold in order to eliminate them. A rotary scrubbing brush and 360-degree vacuum de-grime tile and grout while eschewing the soaps, acid-based formulas, and lectures on hygiene that can dull the tile surface.627 Des Moines PlaceSan Jose, CA US
DunRite Heating and Air Inc.Read MoreMike Wood may be the president of the DunRite team, but he often personally travels to clients' homes to meet them and provide an estimate for their air-conditioner or furnace repairs. Wood, a former HVAC instructor who taught at two technical schools and a current contractor with 40 year's worth of experience, confidently diagnoses problems and provides a written estimate that he promises won't change half-way through the job. Then, his technicians come out to repair HVAC systems from practically all brands, including Amana, Honeywell, Maytag, and York. They can also install new systems and devices that keep different rooms at different temperatures. The team will even repair systems that are 60 years old.1758 Junction Ave Unit HSan Jose, CA US
Cyclone Air Systems San JoseRead MoreThe professionally trained IICRC-certified technicians at Cyclone Air Systems have been caring for homes for more than 13 years. They specialize in a variety of services, including air-duct cleaning, carpet and upholstery cleaning, and HVAC repairs and tune-ups. Technicians harness the power of the Rotobrush cleaning system, which uses dual vacuums to simultaneously brush and vacuum away debris, pet dander, and allergens that can pollute the air and inhibit the efficiency of the HVAC system. The technicians also specialize in cleaning for other household needs such as pet-stain removal, tile-and-grout cleaning, and fire- and water-damage restoration.1351 Old Bayshore HighwaySan Jose, CA US
Mrs.Carpet & Mr.DuctRead MoreMrs. Carpet and Mr. Duct's founder was working for another company, he realized he could give more attention, care, and dedication to his customers if he started his own business. So that's exactly what he did. Today, he and his crews travel to homes in several different states to clean and rid the supply airduct system of dangerous substances people breathe, steam-clean carpets with truck-mounted equipment, scrub tile floors clean with rotary brushes, and clear hazardous clogs out of dryer vents. Despite his fancy title and the crown and scepter that comes with it, he still likes to get his hands dirty doing the actual work of housecleaning. "I love my job," he says. "[I love] meeting people, children, [and] pets, and knowing I am helping them breathe healthier air after I complete my work." Business Basics Established: 2004 Handicap Accessible: Yes Staff Size: 25–50 Parking: Free street parking Reservations/Appointments: Required Most popular offering: clean all air ducts, inspect dryer vent Pro Tip: Every 3 to 5 years the air duct system should be cleaned to protect the health of the people1708 Noranda DriveSunnyvale, CA US
Mister Chimney Cleaning and BuildersRead MoreMister Chimney?s modern-day chimney sweeps aren?t just creating cleaner fireplaces with their arsenal of poles, brushes, and scrapers?they?re saving lives. Citing a 2006 report by the Department of Homeland Security, Mister Chimney reports that 73% of heating fires and 25% of residential blazes come from a buildup of creosote, a flammable tar formation formed from billowing smoke and smoldering resentment of the furnace. To augment its work on chimneys and wood stoves, to which its workers bring 25 years of experience, the company offers supplementary services that include repairs, construction, waterproofing, and vent cleaning.90 Glenn WaySan Carlos, CA US

Cincinnati Reds Must Walk a Fine Line Between Buying and Selling at the Trade Deadline
Four days ago, the Cincinnati Reds' approach to the upcoming trade deadline seemed a foregone conclusion. The team had won five in a row and sat in second place of the NL Central. Then a three game sweep at the hands of the 10-games below .500 San Diego Padres happened and suddenly the trade deadline doesn't seem so clear-cut in the Queen City.
At 43-41, the Reds find themselves in fourth place and seven games out of first place in the NL Central. It's a precarious position to be in with the deadline looming. An inconsistent season leads to an inconsistent approach to the deadline. For general manager Walt Jocketty, he must tread lightly in around July 31 to ensure he improves the team's present and future. But what approaches should he take?
1. Don't mortgage the future to win in 2014
One extreme for Jocketty could be to "go all in" for the season and be a big-time buyer at the trade deadline. While this may seem exciting for the season, it will be extremely detrimental to the future of the organization.
The Reds are finally rebuilding their farm system depth after depleting the majority of it in trades for players (Mat Latos, Shin-Soo Choo) and promotions to the big league club (Tony Cingrani, Billy Hamilton, Todd Frazier, Devin Mesoraco, etc.). In order to acquire players who would make a big impact on 2014, the Reds would be forced to trade some of their attractive prospects such as Jesse Winker, Robert Stephenson and Michael Lorenzen.
Looking at Jocketty's past history at the deadline, a shopping spree is hardly his tendency. The trade deadline seems to be a time when Jocketty improves a team instead of reshaping it, meaning no shopping sprees or fire-sales. So instead of expecting a complete overhaul, fans should instead be looking for an additional arm for the bullpen or decent left fielder. Giancarlo Stanton won't be in the Reds' lineup Aug. 1.
2. Don't throw in the towel completely
They aren't going to be big buyers, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Reds need to be active sellers either. To gut the roster and start over would hurt the future of the franchise as much as "going all-in" at the trade deadline. The Reds aren't great, but they aren't bad either; they are a team that is two or three players away from being consistently very good.
The trick for Jocketty becomes finding the fine line between "all-in" and "selling". The Reds are just good enough to not warrant selling away parts for the future. However, Jocketty must consider the future as well when the deadline arrives. Not only must he try to improve the Reds for 2014, but he must do so for 2015 as well. The trade for Scott Rolen in 2009 was less about the playoff race that year and more about the future of the Reds, and it directly benefited the following season.
3. Don't stand pat and do nothing
Remember the Reds' offseason before the 2014 season began? They made no move to improve the roster, and that has been indicative of their season so far. As the 2014 MLB Trade Deadline approaches, the Reds can't afford to follow the same course of action. That doesn't mean to do the total opposite and go on a trading frenzy, but it does mean making a move or two that can improve the team as a whole.
Aside from helping the team, making a move also instills confidence from the fans, as well as excitement. It shows that the front office is willing to take the initiative to improve the club, something that will be welcomed from fans who complained about the lack of offseason activity. It also shows the players that the front office has confidence in them — enough so that they are willing to make necessary moves to improve their 2014 playoff chances.
Making a move to improve the team also puts the pressure squarely on the players. Many of the complaints throughout the first half of the season have surrounded around Jocketty's inability to improve the team prior to the season. In giving the team a few pieces to help improve, the success or failure of the Reds in the second half of 2014 lies directly with the players on the field.

We can all safely say that we have struggled with sleep at one point or another in our lives. The difficulty is we all seem to have varying and individual degrees of sleep problems…. Maybe you find it difficult to sleep when you have too much on your mind, maybe you wake up and cannot get back to sleep, or maybe you drink too much coffee to get yourself through the day and it stops peaceful, deep sleep.
The point is Insomnia is not an easy term to define because we each have different variations and ways of which it may manifest. I have suffered with Insomnia in the past, never severe but it has been bad enough to make me want to do something about it. I usually wake up early in the morning and find it difficult to get back to sleep, this can be especially annoying when you are up at 4 AM with a late night scheduled that day. Saying this I have also experienced trouble falling asleep, and having fitful sleep throughout the night.
Through the years I have come up with certain things that help, but most importantly I find the key is to never look at insomnia as a battle. Once we start fighting to get to sleep the battle is already lost. Easier said that done but we need to accept sleepless nights and work with them.

IDC has released data showing an increase in smartphone shipments in Q2 2013 in Vietnam. 32.7 percent of total mobile phone shipments were smartphones, up from just 14.7 percent in Q2 2012. The good news here for Windows Phone is not only are we looking at a larger market for OEMs to take advantage of, but the platform has increased its share of the smartphone market in the region by a fair amount.
When you and three other friends decided to play Call of Duty together on the same television, the split screens were a bit small, but you still had a blast. Microsoft wants to allow even more players in get in on the Xbox One action and has revealed that the new gaming console will be able to support up to eight controls at once.
It looks like the price of the AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 keeps getting aggressively priced, as Amazon.com has reduced its price from $249 to just $199 on contract (the off-contract price is still a slightly reduced $634).
The catch? It's a one-day only sale.
Skype app for Windows Phone 8, which was bumped to version 220.127.116.11 this morning. The latest update brings along with it some substantive changes, including the previously missing Video messaging.
Video messaging was introduced by Skype earlier this summer and it quickly landed on their iOS and Android clients. Windows Phone though, despite receiving numerous updates since, was left on the side with an IOU from the Skype team. Up until today, Windows Phone 8 users were only able to view Video messages, but now they can also record and send them for free.
Microsoft has today announced the availability Xbox One, which will launch on November 22nd. The initial launch markets will see the next-gen console hit stores and be fired up with the latest software from studios. Speculation about the dates led to some interesting guesswork, but now Redmond has put minds to rest by confirming when we can expect to see the product launch.
So the news press has overheated this week with Microsoft purchasing Nokia, but what about HTC and Samsung? How would the OEM partners see the purchase? According to a report over on AllThingsD, we're going to have to wait and see.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 launched as an AT&T exclusive earlier this summer. We knew it would come other carriers around the globe, the only question was when? If you find yourself down under in the land of Kangaroos you'll be getting the Lumia 1020 in less than 2 weeks. Details after the break.
As if 2013 could not have been a more pivotal year for Microsoft and Windows Phone, news tonight coming from Bloomberg claims that Redmond is still considering buying out BlackBerry.
BlackBerry has publicly revealed that they are seeking "strategic alternatives" for the company, including a merger or selling off the entire company (or pieces of it). In and of itself, that is big news although BlackBerry did do the same in 2012 and nothing came of it. Could this round be any different? Perhaps, as their new operating system, BB10, is not exactly setting the mobile world afire.
Microsoft has always been rumored to be interested in BlackBerry, but they are perhaps waiting for the right time. That may include waiting for Waterloo to shed some of its 17,000 employees and become a leaner purchase, or for BlackBerry to become cheaper and more desperate.
With the Microsoft-Nokia deal still cooling off, we're digging through all the news to discuss the implications to the Windows Phone platform. What will happen to the Lumia name? Will Nokia employees be in sync with their Microsoft counterparts? Did Microsoft really even want to buy Nokia?
Daniel Rubino, Jay Bennett and CrackBerry's Kevin Michaluk try to answer those questions as well as take yours in today's podcast. Watch the video podcast below, stream the audio or listen through our app...your choice. Discussion points after the break.
When it comes to data plans on your mobile device, mileage varies from carrier, to region, to country. Some people might be grandfathered into unlimited data plans and now eat as much as they can on blazing fasts LTE networks. Others might be in an emerging market and are just experiencing 3G speeds for the first time. One way or the other, Nokia has an app that recently left beta to help people with tighter data budgets. Nokia Xpress is ready for the limelight.
Samsung has released a number of updates for its Samsung Windows Phones. These solutions are listed on the Samsung Zone and can be accessed only by those with a Samsung Windows Phone 8 device. So what's been bumped to a new release? ATIV Beam, Photo Editor, Live Wallpaper and MiniDiary join Additional call settings on the update list.
Ben Thompson of stratēchery joins Rene to talk about Microsoft in a post-Ballmer mobile market, the IBM analogy, whether they need to be more like Apple, and why Google and Samsung were so damn smart. Also: Nokia sale!
Note: This was originally supposed to be next week's episode of Vector, but due to Microsoft buying Nokia, we decided to fast-track. (It's especially interesting given Thompson, until recently, worked at Microsoft on the Windows 8 apps team, and previously interned at Apple on the Apple University project.)
It took Voxer a month from announcing their plans for Windows Phone to producing an app in the Windows Phone Store. A lot of you were happy when the app came out, most because it was another official app joining the platform and it has an audience. That first app however had some issues. Does the latest update that came out today fix them? Let's find out.
Whoa, better late than never! Hey everyone, join us for the previous Windows Phone Central podcast, episode 161, which we've finally managed to pull the audio from August 21st. Our apologies on that as we transition over to a new format.
Oh and if you're looking for today's Microsoft-Nokia special podcast, that too is coming up later this evening (or you can watch the replay here). Stay tuned.
Despite the weakness in Microsoft's stock price today (it's down about 5%), I think their decision to buy Nokia's hardware and services business is absolutely the right move. And it really shouldn't be much of a surprise. When Stephen Elop made the gutsy decision to kill Symbian and bet entirely on Windows Phone, most people correctly had a strong sense that this would eventually happen.
But Wall Street isn't too excited at the notion of Microsoft spending over $7 billion in cash to double down on its smartphone bet. And that's understandable. It's a lot of money for a potential failed deal. I think it probably will end up being successful for Microsoft. They've already climbed up to the #3 position in the smartphone market, having overtaken BlackBerry. If they can achieve this while having to balance the growth objectives of two separate companies, then I think it should only get easier for them as a combined entity.
Beggars can't be choosers. So even though Disney's Wreck-it Ralph came out in theatres nearly a year ago, we're happy to see the game adaptation finally appear in the Windows Phone Store. It's nearly identical to the iOS game that's been out for quite some time, so let's go check it out.
Earlier today Microsoft held a conference call for investors, analysts and the press to discuss its acquisition of Nokia's devices business. The audio only call followed a very tight structure around slides that had earlier been revealed to show some of the specifics of the deal.
If you missed that call don't panic as there wasn't a whole lot of new information, and you'll pick up everything important in the slides which you should be able to download at
this link Edit: looks like that link has been pulled by Microsoft so here's a backup on Skydrive (app users remember to swipe right and tap the "View Links" button). Said presentation was then followed by a Q&A which we've done our best to capture in writing which you'll find after the break.
The Xbox One will launch with a 500 GB internal, non-interchangeable hard drive. 500 GB would be an awfully confining storage space in the modern age of game installations, and downloadable games, movies, and music. Microsoft's solution for users who need more storage space is external hard drive support. The Xbox One will support USB 3.0 hard drives, giving users a potentially unlimited (and relatively affordable) amount of storage space.
Unfortunately though, Xbox One users will not be able to take advantage of external storage solutions at launch. Larry Hyrb (Xbox Live's Major Nelson) quietly dropped the news this weekend on his podcast. Why the delay and how much impact will it have? Read on to find out…
As the dust begins to settle around the Microsoft-Nokia announcement late last night, a deal which won't take effect until 2014 due to regulatory clearances, it has been revealed that Marko Ahtisaari will be leaving the company as well.
Ahtisaari has been a very public face of the company in terms of design, coming to signify the Lumia brand. Appearing in a few videos (see below), the soft-spoken Finn described why Nokia chose certain design aspects over others for their Lumia devices, highlighting the connection between "the digital and the physical".
Want to speak to the biggest Windows Phone community about the Microsoft / Nokia acquisition? Here's how to reach us!
Following last night's BIG Microsoft / Nokia news, we've been receiving a bunch of tweets from media sources wanting to speak with us but unsure of the best way to reach out to us for commentary or to setup an interview. So here's a friendly note on the best way to do just that.
Simply send an email to mediarequests @ mobilenations.com and put WPCentral Interview Request in the headline. We'll always do our best to comply with your requests. WPCentral's Editor in Chief, Daniel Rubino, is not too far from Manhattan, so for big media based in NYC he's available for in-studio appearances. If you want to get the pulse of the Windows Phone community, he's your source.
The dust is still settling on the huge news that Microsoft has begun proceedings to purchase Nokia's devices and services business for €5.44 billion. Whilst it's still far too early to know how this will affect consumers, developers and other OEMs in the Windows Phone space one thing we can see for sure is how the stock market is reacting.
With rumours and speculation pointing at Windows Phone GDR3 including support for 1080p HD displays, Evleaks has today added fuel to the fire with a leaked screenshot from the Nokia "bandit" device. The image is 1080x1920, a resolution Windows Phone does not currently support, but it's reported to be from the Lumia 1520 "phablet", possibly packing GDR3.
The Nokia Lumia 625 is making the rounds in multiple markets, and now the Windows Phone is confirmed to be on its way to Vodafone in Australia. The mobile operator highlights the smartphone on its official website, highlighting a handful of features including 4G connectivity. The Lumia 625 joins the Lumia 925, also listed to be coming soon.
The deal between Microsoft and Nokia hasn't simply come about in a matter of hours. According to the leaders of both companies, talks have been underway for some time, which included dozens of meetings. It's reported over on AllThingsD that Nokia's own board and committees alone had more than 50 meetings regarding the purchase.
As of this moment, Stephen Elop is no longer CEO of Nokia. He has since vacated that position and now holds the title of executive vice president of Nokia's Devices and Services division. Why did he do that? Didn't you hear? Microsoft bought Nokia for 7.1 billion dollars. We've heard that Stephen Elop is reportedly on the "short list" to replace Steve Ballmer as CEO at Microsoft. How does this deal change the landscape?

Vancouver Canucks officially confirm Manny Malhotra is cleared to play, listed as day-to-day
May 28, 2011, 4:10 PM EDT
In almost every playoff game, a player's individual toughness emerges to a startling degree. Just look at Tampa Bay Lightning star Steven Stamkos shaking off a puck to the face as an example that even the "pretty boys" fight through jarring pain.
Even with high expectations for their tolerance to pain, it's still difficult to get jaded when hockey players keep topping themselves. Rumors were already circulating that Vancouver Canucks center Manny Malhotra was pushing toward a possible playoff comeback, but the team announced that he has officially been cleared to play. Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said that Malhotra is day-to-day and would not discuss his lineup for Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals. In other words, a Game 1 return isn't guaranteed, but it remains a tantalizing possibility.
No doubt about it, Malhotra's comeback would be one of the most unlikely in recent hockey history. There were many people who thought that Malhotra's career – not just his regular season and playoffs – would end after taking a puck to the eye that required two surgeries.
Who knows how close Malhotra could be to the player he was during the 2010-11 season, but the two-way center could be a great asset for Vancouver in what should be a tight defensive series. He was actually my mid-season pick for the Frank Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward, a stance that probably left me alone among hockey writers. Still, when you look at Kent Wilson's breakdown of Malhotra's importance to the Canucks, it shows just how strong a player he really is/was.
One of the reasons Malhotra is so effective in his "defensive only" role is his incredible ability to win draws. Most of the time I consider face-off skill to be rather unimportant since most players are +/- 50% on the dot. Malhotra, though, is an extreme outlier. This season he finished with a 61.7% win rate, trailing only New Jersey's David Steckel (62.3%) by that measure. As a result, Malhotra won the second most defensive zone draws amongst centers this season with 296 and he likely only trailed the leader (Steve Ott) because he missed the final 10 games of the year. Malhotra's win rate in the defensive zone was even higher, a mind-boggling 63.5% at even strength. This is notable because as Gabriel Desjardins has noted in the past, losing a defensive zone draw can spike shots and chances against in the immediate aftermath. As Gabe says "it's as though you gave the other team a 10-15 second power-play. For several seconds, the rate of shots allowed is as high as it is on a 5-on-3."
This issue is especially pertinent in one goal games and, obviously, when killing penalties. Naturally, Malhotra also figured prominently on the Canucks penalty kill this season, averaging a team high 2:45 a game a man down. He won the second most draws on the club (136) on the PK behind only Ryan Kesler (138), again primarily because Kesler played the whole season and Malhotra didn't.
The effect of Malhotra's absence ripples across the Canucks line-up. It means guys like Ryan Kesler and Maxim Lapierre are forced into more defensively oriented positions at even strength. It means less defensive zone face-off wins in general and it lowers everyone elses zone start ratio across the board.
When you look at the success of strong puck possession teams like the Detroit Red Wings, it's no coincidence that their systems operate more smoothly when they dominate in the faceoff circle. Malhotra is the kind of player who quietly makes the Canucks' system work.
Since Rod Brind'amour retired, Malhotra and a few other players (such as Jarret Stoll) are among the truly "elite" guys when it comes to winning key draws. If Malhotra is reasonably healthy, he makes an already formidable Canucks team that much deeper down the middle. We'll keep you updated if Vigneault reveals lineup information closer to the first puck drop on Wednesday.

Not sure what I can add that hasn't already been said about this book. Fantastic and entertaining. Much more than what the film offers (not a complaint against the film, just a statement). If you enjoy the film this is well worth reading. Sorry but I'm from America and must say watch the film first then decide if you want more, in which case read the book. It's written in a phonetic Scottish and I had to read Nearly every Mark Renton chapter out loud to understand what I was reading. Towards the end I got it, but it was a slow start. Enjoyed every minute of it though.

EOW 151: Coven of the Dark Oracles
EOW 151 Coven of the Dark Oracles
Topic description:
A gathering in secret... a commune of evil monks. A place of worship with high priests, maybe where sacrificial offerings occur. A knighthood, perhaps... could be set in the early 1600's or in the future, kind of like a digital version of witch folklore. Think of the dark creatures from 300 in the skies, the Sith lords in cloaks at a sky dock in the rain. It can be gothic, olden, ancient, Pagan, or if you want to be clever you can draw the Bush Administration. (I kid, I kid)
I think I've said enough.. artists, you know what to do.
DUE: November 22nd

The Girl From Monaco
There's not much to this thin, sun-drenched concoction about a straight-arrow Paris lawyer (Fabrice Luchini) who descends on the titular Côte d'Azur resort to defend an accused murderess (Chabrol muse Stéphane Audran), only to find himself distracted by the tawdry charms of the local TV weather girl (Louise Bourgoin), who happens to be the ex of his 24/7 bodyguard (Roschdy Zem). Writer-director Anne Fontaine (who will helm the upcoming biopic Coco Before Chanel) keeps the tone hovering—often uncertainly, sometimes intriguingly—between film noir and farce, but the modest pleasure of the film issues chiefly from the performances. There's a sly, subtle tension to the byplay between the somewhat effete Luchini and the authoritatively masculine Zem (who isn't exactly jealous of his client's burgeoning romance, but doesn't approve of it either), while Bourgoin—a former Canal+ weather girl making her screen debut—proves a force of nature unto herself. Bursting onto the screen and nearly out of her gaudy, cleavage-hugging couture, slurring her lines in what can best be described as a French equivalent of Valspeak, she moves through the film in a blissfully ditzy haze, leaving every man onscreen—and many in the audience—helpless in her wake.

KU football captains react to new roles
Tuesday night, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis announced the results of a team-wide vote for this year's captains.
Under normal circumstances, Weis' teams typically have two captains — one for offense and one for defense — but with this year's offensive vote being so close between quarterback Dayne Crist and offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson, Weis chose to allow both seniors to become captains.
The timing of Weis' decision to select team captains coincides directly with a couple of recent off-the-field issues that led to suspensions or dismissals.
Following Tuesday's practice, all three captains spoke to the media. Here are a few more nuggets from those interviews that did not make today's main story:
Tanner Hawkinson on Dayne Crist:
"He's worked himself into a position to be a leader of the team. Obviously, you always look at the quarterback position as being a leader and he did a really good job with that. He came in and worked his tail off and people kind of saw that and he slowly gained the respect of the guys."
Crist on having 3 captains instead of 2:
"It's great that you can get multiple voices saying the same message. I think that just kind of helps reach out to all the guys on the team, especially with off-the-field stuff."
Hawkinson on the role of KU's captains:
"I think we need to be those guys, not only for the young guys to let them know what's expected, but also for the rest of the team to make sure they're doing things right."
Toben Opurum on being named a captain:
"It's really an honor that the guys are confident in me to lead this team, along with Dayne and Tanner."
Hawkinson on experienced players such as Daymond Patterson, Kale Pick and Bradley McDougald:
"To me, they could easily have been chosen as captains, as well. Just with the experience they've had and how they've grown over the years."
Crist on Opurum:
"He and I just very well, just naturally, even off the field. We've got a cool relationship and he's a good guy so it's nice being around guys like that. We bounce stuff off each other all the time. We bounce stuff off each other all the time and we're always picking each other's brains so it's nice to have a guy on defense as a counterpart that you can kind of go at and talk kind of some upper-level thinking."
Hawkinson on Opurum:
"Toben's been great on defense and he's going to be a great leader for the defense. He's a great player and a great competitor."
Opurum on if being a captain for Charlie Weis brings more pressure:
"A bit, but that's something that I've always done naturally. I haven't had any off-the-field issues and if something's about to happen I'm usually there to stop it, whether I'm a captain or not."
Crist on Hawkinson:
"He's a leader. He's absolutely a leader on and off the field. A guy who has been here for a while and seen a lot. He's been through multiple coaching changes and has been a team guy always and I have a ton of respect for him. Obviously, the team feels the same way."

"Fitzwilly" is a pleasant family comedy about a butler who brings Gimbel's to a halt on Christmas Eve. Since this is Christmas Day (and a Merry Christmas to all our readers) I thought you might enjoy reading how it was done.
The trick is to station bell ringing Santas, carol singing Cub Scouts and package bearing matrons at all the exits to the store. Then you deploy last-minute shoppers inside, counting on them to elbow each other into a state of near riot. You assign two or three men to circulate counter-clockwise through the crowd, poking people, and two or three other operatives to circulate clockwise, dropping things that other people will stumble over. And then you stop the escalators.
If you are like me and do your shopping on Christmas Eve this will sound like a sworn statement on the actual condition in every store in the Loop. But there are probably people who do all their Christmas shopping in November, and for them "Fitzwilly" may seem to exaggerate.
The butler is Dick Van Dyke, and he attacks Gimbel's as part of a long-term effort to keep his elderly employer (Dame Edith Evans) living in the style to which she is accustomed. The old lady's millionaire husband left her without a cent. But her loyal staff has been shoplifting and hijacking ever since to keep up appearances.
A student from Columbia University (Barbara Feldon) is hired as Dame Edith's secretary. She must have been attending the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, because she can't spell. That's OK, because Dame Edith is writing a dictionary in which all the incorrect spellings of words will be listed.
Events develop in a whimsical fashion, as Miss Feldon gradually discovers the larceny underfoot and gradually falls in love with Van Dyke. There is a retired minister (John McGiver) to add a note of wistful guilt to the undertakings, but the gang isn't really doing anything wrong, is it? After all, the loot is covered by insurance and the old lady gives all her money to charity.
One of the delights of "Fitzwilly" is the generally intelligent language in which the characters talk to each other, as if they were educated and witty. Most movie characters talk to each other as if they were refugees from "Get Smart!" (which Miss Feldon is, by the way). Van Dyke is droll as usual, Miss Feldon has some bright moments, and Dame Edith Evans even steals one scene in which she doesn't appear. Van Dyke announces Miss Feldon, and she shouts through a closed door: "Hurrah!"

"Nor-Shipping is an ideal opportunity for NYMAR to broadcast the attractiveness of New York as a business center", stated delegation leader Maitland. "We have a complete suite of superb services in our region, which are often overlooked. New York is vibrant, cost-effective, and an ideal jurisdiction for maritime business. As Frank Sinatra once sang, it's a h-ll of a town!"
The delegation intends to attend many of the functions surrounding Nor-Shipping, and looks forward to engaging maritime professionals in discussing the manifold merits of New York.
NYMAR is a member-based association of maritime companies in the greater metropolitan New York area whose goal is to promote the benefits of the region as a maritime business center in order to attract more businesses to share in the opportunities available in this robust area. NYMAR hosts an annual seminar, and participates in many area conferences and events.

My husband, the dogs and I went up Lawson Peak on the 24th of Mar. 2015. We came from Carveacre so it was 7.24 mi. for us there and back. Everything is in bloom and so bright green even though it hasn't rained in forever. It was a nice cool breezy day and supposed to be a hot santa ana on Friday so that breeze was greatly appreciated!
Unfortunately we were unable to find an easy route to the top square boulders so we didn't try them, but instead walked three quarters of the way around the base of them. Regardless, beautiful views. We could see the ocean to the west. Didn't run into a soul the whole way which was nice. No rattlers, thank god, don't know how those two dogs would deal with that. But with Verizon you get coverage up there.

This hike was right at 5 miles round trip. Similar in length to San Miguel mountain but not as steep for the most part. Although there are apparently some caves to be seen along the way, we didn't sere any the route we took to the top.
About a mile in the trails splits, with the left for going up and the right fork going around a ridge. We went left and straight up a couple mini peaks on the way to the top. We also came down the same way. Had we taken the right fork we would have seen the caves.
I recorded the route we took. It's in the uploaded tracks titled McGinty 2/14/15.
Great views of alot of other notable peaks, such as Otay, Jamul, Lyons, Tecate, El Cap, Viejas, Cowles, N Fortuna, and all the way to the Pacific. I might have given it five stars had it been a few miles longer.

Nice hike and a good workout. A couple of caves along the way--Bring a light if you want to go into them and enter slowly and check all side. We found a large rattler 15' into one of them and respected that it was her cave beyond that point and headed back out.

One for the Ages
Apart for More Than 70 Years, Ex-Sweethearts Paul Johnston and Lula Marschat Tie the Knot
The dream began in 1923 at Idaho's Albion State Normal School. "We were in love," says Paul, then 18. They both became schoolteachers, but with 150 miles between them—and no phone or car—the romance withered. In 1927 both married others. "It was," says Paul, "out of sight, out of mind."
Not quite. Flash-forward seven children (three for Lula, four for Paul) and 29 grandkids. In March, Paul, whose wife had died in 1997, was thumbing through newspaper obits—how's that for romantic?—when he stumbled across a name that sounded like Lula's husband, Laurence Marschat. Curious, he tracked her down and found that Laurence had died in 1989. Lula, whose first reaction was, "My goodness, he's still alive," invited Paul to visit. An old-fashioned gal, she insisted her suitor stay at her brother's house, a 10-minute walk away. Four days later he proposed. Family members were stunned but soon came around, and on June 10 the couple wed in Woodburn's Mormon church, with Paul moving into Lula's that night. Though Lula says they were "too tired" to honeymoon, they plan to take swimming classes, and Paul wants his bride to teach him checkers. Despite their time apart, they've already caught up. "I feel," says Lula, "like I've been married to him all my life."
