Stamford launches Scofieldtown landfill closure process
Scofieldtown Park: Work to begin on former landfill site, now closed
Published 1:03 am, Monday, February 6, 2012
STAMFORD -- Three years after an Environmental Protection Agency investigation prompted the closure of North Stamford's Scofieldtown Park, city officials are poised to launch an extensive remediation project that will install a permanent cap on the 80-year-old landfill.
The cap is intended to trap the accumulated remnants of 34 years of household and city dumping -- and related environmental contamination -- underneath a synthetic tarp, which will stretch across all 17 acres of the landfill site. The city will then sprinkle about 50,000 cubic yards of clean soil over the cap and top the whole project off with a state-of-the-art recycling center and public park. The massive undertaking, estimated to cost taxpayers roughly $6 million, is tentatively scheduled for completion in November 2014.
Mayor Michael Pavia said he ultimately would like to see the park, which has been closed to the public since May 2009, reopened as a multi-use recreational area featuring playing fields, walking trails and habitat restoration for birds or wildlife.
"The process will be deliberate," Pavia said of the remediation. "There are certain steps that have to take place; one right after the other is concluded. What will result certainly is the final closure of that landfill, No. 1. And No. 2, some productive reuse of the park."
But before any baseball diamonds or other fields can be built, the city's environmental consultant and engineering department must seal off acres of soil, sediment and groundwater that have been exposed to pollution since the landfill opened as a household dumping site in 1934. The clean-up has been a long time coming, both in terms of recent remediation efforts and within the larger context of Scofieldtown landfill's decades-long history.
Former Director of Operations Ben Barnes first learned in January or February of 2009 that the EPA had found contamination in soil, sediment and water at or near Scofieldtown Park that exceeded recommended health levels. Barnes waited until mid-May to tell city representatives, who then demanded the park's immediate closure. More than a year later, in September 2010, Stamford entered into a consent order with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to officially close the landfill in accordance with state environmental standards. Stamford hired the environmental consultant TRC Companies, Inc. to complete the project.
On May 9, 2011 -- two years after Stamford padlocked Scofieldtown Park -- TRC submitted to the DEEP a nearly 300-page action plan for testing, remediating and sealing off the former dump. The proposed schedule predicted environmental testing would begin in the summer of 2011 and the landfill's cap construction would conclude in fall 2013. After a public hearing and comment session, the DEEP spent four months reviewing the proposed closure plan and offered conditional approval to the city on Dec. 15, 2011.
Stamford officials then gave the DEEP several finalized design drawings and project details and received the final go-ahead to begin field work at Scofieldtown landfill. The city's schedule has now been pushed back significantly, with environmental monitoring scheduled to begin in March.
"I would love for it to be moving along a lot faster," Board of Representatives President Randy Skigen said. "I think everybody needs to try to move faster to bring this to final resolution. This issue has been out there for more than a couple of years now."
The past three years of scrutiny is only the most recent resurgence of environmental investigations by local, state and federal environmental officials at the site of former Scofieldtown Park. TRC's proposed closure plan details several EPA investigations conducted over the last several decades to determine if the landfill should be placed on the country's list of hazardous waste -- also known as Superfund -- sites.
"Information from the city indicates that the landfill may have been in poor condition from 1968 through 1970 as multiple complaints had been filed by residents complaining of vermin, uncontained refuse and a dump fire," TRC wrote in its closure plan. "After the landfill was permanently closed in the early 1970s, the landfill area was graded and reportedly covered with clean fill."
Scofieldtown Park is still not a Superfund site -- it is currently listed on the EPA's website as "awaiting decision" on whether it will be added to the registry. But environmental officials began documenting pollution at the landfill as early as 1987, including drums filed with resin, heavy metal and sludge. Between 1994 and 2004 federal and state officials tested soil, sediment and drum samples, which revealed contamination by volatile organic compounds, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides and metals. Connecticut environmental officials also collected one drinking water sample from a home on Hannahs Road in 1997, which found pesticide contamination above recommended state levels.
Five years later, the EPA report of contamination at Scofieldtown Park sparked concerns from nearby residents about drinking water pollution. Tests revealed elevated levels of the pesticides dieldrin and chlordane in private wells on Hannahs and Very Merry roads. Chlordane and dieldrin were once widely used in the United States for insect control for crops, and ant and termite extermination in private homes, but were banned in the 1970s and 1980s out of concerns over their probable carcinogenicity.
Officials believed pollution at Scofieldtown Park was the source of the drinking water contamination and spent $3.4 million to install water lines to nine streets in North Stamford in late 2009. A subsequent limited inspection by TRC found the water contamination was not due to pollution from the former dump, but not all city officials and residents were convinced by the conclusion.
Officials and residents hope the Scofieldtown landfill closure will shed more light on the severity and scope of environmental pollution in North Stamford. The project's first phase calls for the installation of 45 environmental testing wells; steel pipes measuring about six inches in diameter that will be drilled into the ground to depths ranging from 15 and 60 feet, City Engineer Lou Casolo said. Environmental officials will monitor the new wells, in addition to 11 existing wells, on a quarterly basis. Soil, sediment, surface and groundwater will all be tested over the course of a year at locations on and near the former landfill.
For the neighborhood group North Stamford Concerned Citizens for the Environment, answers can't come soon enough.
"It's so exciting," President Karen DeFalco said late last month. "It's taken so long to get to this point. It's what every town in America thinks about and has played and toyed with and never gets a chance usually to get to this point -- fixing landfills and dealing with contaminants that have been in our environment for so long. It's exciting that we're finding answers, we're pushing the system, we're making things happen."
The environmental monitoring at Scofieldtown will determine the city's approach for sealing off the landfill. If testing reveals widespread, significant pollution at the site, remediation might take more time and resources than predicted. But for now, officials are expecting to install a synthetic tarp and then cover the capped landfill with one to two feet of clean soil. Casolo told city representatives they should begin soliciting public input now for the future use of Scofieldtown Park.
"It is very important to understand what the end use is in terms of how we are going to be designing this," he told the Board of Representatives North Stamford Water Supply Committee last month. "It will save rework, it may save cost. I recommend we start doing that as soon as possible."
The entire project is listed in Stamford's capital budget as totaling $6 million, but Casolo said the cost won't be finalized until spring 2013. Significant savings are possible if the city is able to use soil from an upcoming Connecticut Department of Transportation project on the I-95 corridor to cover the landfill cap, he said. So far, the engineering department has secured $620,000 for work scheduled to last through the end of June, and is requesting another $650,000 for fiscal year 2012-13.
NSCCE spokesman Jay Crutcher said the 17-acre triangular slice of North Stamford on Scofieldtown Road represents a unique chance for residents to reinvent a part of their neighborhood.
"The engineered closure of the landfill is a great opportunity for Stamford to develop additional recreational land, whether it's soccer fields or tennis courts or softball diamonds, and it's something the community should think through very carefully," he said. "How often does a city get to create almost 18 acres from a blank canvas? What would be the most valuable use of the site?"

Document / Publication
Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations - Headquarters (FAO)
This volume explores the linkages between resiliency to climate disasters and farm biodiversity - practices that enhance biodiversity allow farms to mimic natural ecological processes, enabling them to better respond to change and reduce risk. It demonstrates the possibility of harmonizing agricultural production with the well-being of the biosphere – and that this can be achieved in Africa, our biosphere's least developed continent, and the continent which is likely to suffer most from climate change.
The work presented in this volume stems from a Conference on Ecological Agriculture held in Ethiopia in 2008. The different chapters capitalize on assessments and experiences such as: lessons learned from Asia's Green Revolution on agricultural communities; trends in African agricultural knowledge, science and technology; trade policy impacts on food production; conditions for success of water interventions for the African rural poor; and climate change implications for agriculture and food systems. Case studies share the practical experiences, lessons and successes from across Africa, demonstrating that it is possible to produce food sufficiently and at the same time, care for the biosphere.

If you are at all familiar with the story of how Eat It and Like It came to be, then the first 3 minutes of this story you've heard before. Feel free to refill your cup of coffee and jump back in a few lines down when the new parts pop in. Reality is, I am asked all of time. All of the time and then some about how a Television News Anchor came to be Savannah/Hilton Head Island's food guy.
In the summer of 2010, after seeing a demo I had made where I was cooking in a kitchen on Tybee Island, my now business partner Senea Crystal suggested the idea that I start a blog. A blog about food not only in Savannah, but a blog about food in the South. Too many times people think that Southern cuisine is limited to fried chicken, collards or brunswick stew. Those of us that have chosen to call this area home know better. There is a lot of diversity in the foods we eat in the South. We didn't call it "Sumptous Savannah" or anything cheesy like that because the plan was always to be about more than food in Savannah. Thus was born "Eat It and Like It"
When it was decided to make this a business (read: solicit advertising dollars from sponsors), we needed to come up with a name for the corporation, an LLC. It was discussed at length, but ultimately I wanted something that shared something about me, my motivations, my passions, my visions, my dreams. The copyright screen you saw at the end of our show for years reflected that. Two00One Odyssey Productions was a tip of my hat to the film "Saturday Night Fever." The John Travolta character in that film (Tony Manero) made a name for himself on that now iconic dance floor. I thought it clever, if not a little silly, to give myself a similar dance floor to explore my new side gig. It's very important to understand that when all of this started, I was a successful TV News Anchor on FOX 28 News at 10:00pm. Eat It and Like It was nothing but a hobby. The fact that no one could spell it, pronounce it, or knew what Two00One Oddysey meant was immaterial to me, frankly. It was all an inside joke. Throw some hard work and lucky breaks into a blender and you arrive at 2017.
Somewhere along the way, the vision began to change. I gave up my career in TV news for good in order to make Eat It and Like It what we know it can and will be going forward in this region. In December 2014 I came up with the idea to launch Savannah's first full-scale magazine dedicated exclusively to its food scene. Eat It! Magazine is in development stages. The hope is to print our first issue in the Fall.
The transformation from hobby to legitimate business doesn't happen over a weekend. At least not how we wanted to do it. We want to build lasting brands that would be identifiable long term. Frankly, naming the magazine "Eat It!" was a perfect transition following in the footsteps of our very popular television show.
Similarly, if we were going to get serious about all of it, "Two00One Odyssey" had to go as well. If you want something to last, it needs to be identifiable and representative of my work. The decision was made to officially change the name of our parent company to "Jesse Blanco Productions." Everything we do going forward will fall under that umbrella. If you noticed our new copyright closing of the show, I'm keeping the disco floor for now as a continued homage. Two00One Odyssey is gone.
After some delays because of the storm last Fall, we got back on track with branding our new and improved vision, with the assistance of our Creative Brand Manager Melody Johnson. We've played with some mock covers of the magazine, we've made a few logos. We've had some fun trying to put all of the pieces together. So here we are.
I officially made the announcement of the plans for the magazine last November. We haven't really broadcast it much, but that doesn't mean that there hasn't been a TON of work going on behind the scenes. Once plans for Eat It! Savannah Magazine are locked down, it is our plan to begin production of "Drink It and Like It" a TV show about anything you can drink in the South. Alcoholic, non-alcoholic and anything else in between.
That's my line and I am sticking to it. That's the whole story in a nutshell. Eat It and Like It has become something more than we ever imagined back in the sweltering Summer of 2010. Frankly, we all have a chuckle and wonder where it would be today if it had been a full-time job since day one and not a side gig between newscasts. The future is bright around here and we plan to continue to solidify our hold as the voice of food in our region.
Meanwhile, we are here because of you. So thank you for your continued support on this journey.
If you have any questions about any of it, questions about advertising or perhaps joining our team as an investor, please feel free to drop us a line at email@example.com.
See you on TV,

dreamhost is very slow...my everage page load time is about 10 to 20sec...with minimum module enabled.
sighs.. although the service is cheap and with multiple domains, but what you pay is what you get. :(
I've noticed that too in the past couple weeks
I checked the server load -- that's fine. Static pages load fine.
So my conclusion is that the database server is overloaded. Anyone know a way to check that?
I almost emailed support about it, but it got better right before I sent it. But it's bad right this moment.
-- Ben
We've had problems with Dreamhost and MySQL
However, I've been with them for about 10 years now and they are great for affordable webserver stuff. Today we use them to serve up large media files on the html level, and would not hesitate to host a static html site with them. It's just that their database configuration (on a separate machine, with a narrow pipeline, afaict) leaves very much to be desired.
On the other hand, when it comes to compex websites that are more than your typical blog or BBS software, it seems that most of the shared hosting plans will leave you vulnerable. We've pulled almost all of our client sites off of a shared host that, until the past few months, rated at the top for service and reliability, because we were facing repeated and persistent shut-downs and slow-downs. It's just not worth it.
Today we won't do any hosting on anything less than a robust VPS environment (if not a dedicated server), and advise our clients on shared systems caveat emptor. All it takes is Joe Blow sending a zillion spam messages to bump way up the server load, and your database-driven site is suddenly craaawwwwwwwwwlllllliiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.
Thumbs up for VPS
I agree with Laura, the VPS is a way to go. In no way am I being critical of Dreamhost's shared hosting plans...this is just the nature of shared hosting plans. After bouncing around a number of shared hosting plans, there is not one that really met my needs when it came to Drupal. I use a VPS for several low traffic Drupal sites...and not a single complaint by me or my clients.
One thing Laura doesn't mention is that if you're not confortable with managing your own server, a VPS or dedicated server may not be right for you. Though, there are companies and services out there that will manage the server for you.
My Drupal Site:
a VPS is also shared.
Yes, a VPS technically
Yes, a VPS technically shares a dediicated server with other VPS...that's why they call it virtual. I know you probably know this, but since others might not understand the difference between shared hosting and Virtual Private Servers (also called Virtual Dedicated Servers)...here goes...
With virtualization...barring any hardware malfunctions or kernel problems...you can be assured resources given (specifically CPU and memory) are yours and yours alone. One of the issues with shared hosting is that if one or two sites are sucking CPU and/or memory resources it will limit the resources for others that are sharing the same host. With a VPS...you should have consistent performance which you don't always have with shared hosting. Many shared hosting plans try to attract customers by drive space and bandwidth, but really it's the CPU and memory that is the key to a well performing site.
The following is an excerpt from a FAQ on VPS with a hosting company I'm associated with, Dakota Hosting. Before the excerpt though, I'd like to put one disclaimer about VPS and Dedicated Servers though. If you don't have system administrative skills, you need to make sure you have someone available to manage your server. Unless of course, you're a natural geek and willing to learn (about half the Drupal community I believe). It took me about two months to get my VPS to a level of performance that I was happy with. In other words, just like Drupal...a VPS or dedicated server isn't for everyone.
What is a virtual dedicated server?
Last Updated: October 31, 2005 3:59 PM
Occupying the space between the shared and dedicated hosting formats, a virtual dedicated server offers many of the capabilities and features of dedicated servers, including admin (root) access and dedicated IP addresses, but at a much lower price. Users share a server, but because each virtual dedicated server is effectively isolated from other accounts, the user has full control over the server space.
Also, virtual dedicated server plans feature very high performance and available disk space and bandwidth.
We partition our servers in such a way that each virtual dedicated server operates almost entirely independently of the other accounts that share the server space. This means that with a virtual dedicated server, you will enjoy consistent, high performance, even when usage peaks on the main server.
Virtual dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals that run higher-traffic Web sites or complex applications and thus need the bandwidth, consistent performance, and flexibility of a virtual dedicated server.
My Drupal Site:
I love my Linode.
Just don't try to do a stage1 Gentoo install on one. :)
may not be dreamhost
it may not be dreamhost. In Feb. drupal.org took about 20 seconds to load on my computer, but not for someone else I talked to.

Metro police arrested Jerome Stone, 20, Friday morning for allegedly killing 17-year-old Demarcus Jordan-Ellis Wednesday afternoon.
Members of the Metro Nashville Police Department SWAT team took Stone into custody just after 10 a.m. Friday at his 333 Rio Vista Drive apartment.
The arrest came after detectives located the gold Chevrolet Impala that witnesses reported seeing in front of the victim's home at the time of the homicide. The car owner told police that he drove Stone to Vanderhorst Drive in North Nashville so that Stone could buy marijuana from Jordan-Ellis.
According to police, the car owner said he saw Stone pull a gun on Jordan-Ellis inside the house, prompting the car owner to run outside. The car owner said he then heard shots coming from inside the house, and at one point Stone walked out of the home before allegedly reentering and firing more shots.
A warrant charging Stone with criminal homicide has been issued, according to police.

Azerbaijan's rapid arms build-up is cause for concern in the region, with some defence analysts warning that it heightens the risk of renewed conflict.
President Ilham Aliyev frequently boasts of the amount of money his oil-rich state can afford to spend on weaponry. Appearing at a military parade in Baku on June 26. he took the opportunity to remind everyone that at 3.7 billion US dollars, annual defence expenditure is nearly twice the size of neighbouring Armenia's entire government budget. A decade ago, Azerbaijan's defence budget stood at 160 million dollars.
"In recent years we have purchased the most sophisticated hardware," Aliyev said in his address at the parade. "We have purchased about 100 combat and transport helicopters, dozens of combat aircraft, and the most advanced anti-aircraft systems. [Our] armoured vehicles, modern tanks and artillery pieces are capable of destroying any enemy target."
The armoured vehicles rolling past included new tanks bought from Russia. Overhead, 100 military aircraft flew by as 40 naval vessels floated offshore in the Caspian Sea.
Aliyev noted that all this hardware was not just for show; it was needed because of the unresolved conflict with Armenia over Nagorny Karabakh.
Yashar Jafarli, a defence expert who heads the Baku-based Association of Reserve and Retired Officers, said the arms acquisitions came from traditional suppliers Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, and increasingly also from Israel, Turkey, South Africa and Pakistan.
In mid-June, the Moscow paper Vedomosti reported that Russia was supplying armoured vehicles and artillery worth up to one billion US dollars to Azerbaijan.
The news was of particular concern to Armenian officials, since Moscow is both a close ally and part of the three-member OSCE group mediating in the Karabakh conflict, but appears happy to profit from Azerbaijan's spending spree.
On a visit to Armenia, Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of Russia's Security Council, tried to portray the sales as no more than normal business, and argued that it would not change the military balance in the region.
Patrushev's counterpart Artur Baghdasaryan, secretary of Armenia's National Security Council, also downplayed the significance of the deal.
"We must not fall into a panic because Azerbaijan has acquired military equipment from Russia. Azerbaijan buys weapons from other countries as well. Russia has its own relationship with Azerbaijan, and it bases that relationship on its own interests," Baghdasaryan said.
Richard Giragosian, director of the Centre for Regional Studies in Yerevan, said reports of massive arms shipments from Russia had revived fears that the delicate balance of power in the South Caucasus was tipping in Azerbaijan's favour. It might also indicate an intention to re-take Karabakh by force.
The Nagorny Karabakh region was part of Soviet-era Azerbaijan but has been controlled by a local Armenian administration since the early 1990s war that ended in a truce but no peace deal.
"Although international reactions to Azerbaijan's latest procurement of offensive weapons have been largely muted, there is a clear imperative for greater concern over the now shifting balance of power between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which is an inherent threat to the fragile ceasefire," he said.
"In the past two years, there's been a marked upsurge in clashes along the so-called 'line of contact' that separates Karabakh forces from Azerbaijani troops. And the approximately 1,000 kilometre-long border [between Azerbaijan and Armenia itself] has also seen a spike in sniper fire and sporadic cross-border attacks. This further demonstrates the fragility of the security situation and the shifting balance of power, while at the same time confirming the risk that a localised conflict could rapidly escalate and expand, and possibly swiftly draw in external interested powers, including Russia, Turkey and perhaps even Iran."
"What makes this current situation much more serious is the danger that Azerbaijan's stronger threats will now be matched by an increasing readiness to use offensive military action to vent its frustration," Giragosian added.
The OSCE Minsk group - consisting of Russia, the United States and France issued a joint statement on June 18 urging the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia to renew their commitment to neither use nor threaten force.
"We also appeal to them to refrain from any actions or rhetoric that could raise tension in the region and lead to escalation of the conflict," the statement said. "The leaders should prepare their people for peace, not war."
Those sentiments were not reflected in President Aliyev's remarks at the parade eight days later. He made it clear the Karabakh conflict was not yet over.
"Our army must be prepared to restore the territorial integrity of our country at any time and in any way," he said.
Nevertheless, Jafarli argues that such bellicose rhetoric is not necessarily cause for alarm. He said the Azerbaijani defence establishment's enthusiasm for buying large quantities of expensive foreign weapons had a lot more to do with the kickbacks earned on the deals than with any real enthusiasm for going to war.
"It's all about corruption and the illegal commissions that we call 'shapka' in the post-Soviet world. Armament is a very expensive business and needs the injection of a huge sum of money. The more you allocate, the more opportunities there are for corruption, for 'shapka'," he said.
Elkhan Mehdiyev, a political and defence affairs analyst at the Azerbaijan Atlantic Association, agreed that corruption was a major factor in the size of the contracts being signed.
"No report is ever delivered, even to parliament, on what the government has acquired and how much money was spent on it," he said.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which publishes an annual report called "Trends in International Arms Transfers", in 2011-12 Azerbaijan bought surface-to-air and anti-ship missiles from Israel, 60 armoured personnel carriers from South Africa, 39 helicopters including gunships from Russia, 30 heavy multiple rocket-launchers from Turkey. It also acquired 16 drone planes from Israel and another ten from Austria.
Those numbers do not include deliveries under the Russian contract revealed by Vedomosti, which includes a selection of conventional and rocket artillery units, armoured personnel carriers, and up to 94 T-90 tanks, a recent model that Armenia does not have.
Armenian officials are concerned about the implications of a rapid arms build-up in Azerbaijan, but point to the enduring security relationship with Russia, which maintains a large army base at Gyumri.
Defence minister Seyran Ohanyan said his country was not going to take place in an arms race, but was keeping a vigilant eye on developments.
"Azerbaijan's weaponry can hardly not concern us," he told reporters last month. "But we must bear in mind that our cooperation with our strategic partner Russia is at such a high level that we can maintain the regional balance of power not just quantitatively, but qualitatively."
Sergei Markedonov, a political analyst and Caucasus expert at the Institute for Political and Military Analysis in Moscow, expressed a similar view, saying Russia's bonds with Armenia were fundamentally different to its trade with Azerbaijan.
"Moscow sees its relationship with Azerbaijan as a strategic partnership, and its relationship with Armenia as a strategic alliance. That means it sells weapons to Azerbaijan for cash, but sells them to Armenia at a discount within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation," he said. "You have to understand that the relationship between Russia and Azerbaijan is based on market forces, while that with Armenia is founded an alliance."
Hrachya Petrosyants, a defence expert with close links to Armenia's defence ministry, said his own country was acquiring more arms.
"Although the weapons bought from Russia don't upset the regional military balance, we must be attentive all the same. Armenia, too, is buying weapons and strengthening its arsenal, specifically with rocket artillery systems," he said. "In addition, we are upgrading our T-72 tanks as part of a programme of cooperation with Poland. They are better in their class than the T-90 tanks bought by Azerbaijan."
Petrosyants said more investment was needed in training Armenia's armed forces to make the most of the weapons they had.

In Memory of
Eli Barnett
November 14, 1924 - February 24, 2013
Eli Barnett, age 88 of Marblehead on Feb. 24th 2013. Born in Boston on November 14, 1924, Eli was the son of the late Samuel & Gittel Barnett.
Eli grew up in Mattapan; attended Boston Latin and graduated from Boston English High School. He briefly attended Northeastern University before enlisting in the Army Air Corps during WWII. Eli served in the European Campaign as a turret gunner/flight engineer with the 8th Air Force, 423rd Bomb Group. He flew 35 missions before being honorably discharged with the rank of Technical Sergeant.
Mr. Barnett went on to complete his education at Western State University in CO and graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Who's the first celebrity that we interviewed at a convention? Survey says…Lew Temple! We were so lucky that he said yes and talked to us. He also encouraged us to talk to the other Rob Zombie's Halloween cast and tell them he sent us. We did and ended up interviewing him as well. We've continued interviews to this day. Lew Temple will be at Fandom Fest in Louisville, KY this year from July 26-28. So first….the interview that started it all!
Lew Temple was born in Alaska and raised in Texas. As Streebo said in the interview, he is a Renaissance man. One thing I talked with Mr. Temple about was music. He's plays banjo and loves music. It was also mentioned that he played baseball. He was the baseball MVP at Rollins College in 1982. He went on to play minor league ball for the Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros. He was a scout for the New York Mets in 1986. He moved up the ranks to be the Assistant Director of Minor League Operations and Scouting for the Astros until 1993. Since then he has earned 82 credits on IMDB. IMDB says that he is often compared to a chameleon because he can take any character and make it his own, which is a sign of a great actor. We won't be able to discuss every film he's been in, because that would take forever, but we'll highlight a few!
He played Adam Banjo in The Devil's Rejects by Rob Zombie and was also in his Halloween. He was Cal in Waitress in 2007. He is in Mark Young's The Killing Jar with Michael Madsen, Amber Benson, Danny Trejo, Harold Perrineau and Jake Busey. Lew was also in Unstoppable, Rango, Lawless, Saving Lincoln and he plays Axel on a little show called The Walking Dead. We saw Mr. Temple right here in Stanly County filming The Unlikely's with William Forsythe. He also plays Hollis in the upcoming film The Lone Ranger.
Time to see some work and interviews:
Apparently the Adam Banjo scene has a content warning…so not Devi's Rejects. Booo!
Now to finish with my Lew Temple with a metal expression.

text: Yeah! They were selling these in a booth at Fanime (I think). I wasn't there, but a friend of mine who is a furry picked up a pair. They're a lot of fun! My experiences with them: -- Watching them on other people, they are really expressive and look like they're signalling emotions. They did a good job on compelling animatronics and poses. -- Wearing them, it mostly felt like they were moving all the time, usually randomly. -- I could, with some effort, make them do things by concentrating really hard on something that would make me feel very calm or very angry. -- They're surprisingly sturdy. I mean, I wouldn't play rugby in them, but they seemed to do just fine while wearing around in semi-active social situations. -- The servos were a little noisy while you were wearing them. -- Most people were excited about them because they were animated rabbit ears. I was excited about them because they were brain sensors.

Information about Macomb Community College basketball stats, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches want to see you play. A lot of the time college coaches may have only one chance to see potential recruits play, so be ready to shine if you are visiting the campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Macomb Community College Basketball information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Macomb Community College.
You don't have to quarterback the university football team to a state championship to earn an athletic scholarship. Most major sports that field a team in intercollegiate competition have sports scholarships available. From women's gymnastics to men's track and field, coaches are seeking players to build a team around. Further, that leadership role often is accompanied by a full-scholarship.
The best time to begin searching for scholarships is before your senior year, in order to meet deadlines. Schools confirm that it is important to file financial aid forms such as the CSS Profile early in the school year. There are many sports scholarships that focus on less tangible qualities, such as the ability to lead a team, motivate others, and learn new skills rapidly. Take stock of your athletic abilities as you mature through high school. SUNY Plattsburgh soccer tournament may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Macomb Community College basketball stats, you may think about Rider University retaking a course for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

I'm having a problem that I've heard a few fellow Arch users are getting. I'm using gnome 2.8 (with nautilus as the file manager), and whenever I try to open a file (either by double clicking it, or right click / open with..) it pops up and asks which application should be associated with the file type. All is fine up to this point.. I select the application (full path name of course.. yes it exists), and when I click ok I get the follow error message:
"Can not add application to application database"
Then it just dumps me back to the input box to enter an application. The end result is I cannot open anything from within nautilus. I raised the question in the IRC channel, and a couple other users were reporting the same problem. Anyone else encountering this? Anyone have a solution?
I know some people were having problems with this as well, so I figured out the problem. The application database is stored in .local in your home directory. If you are experiencing problems with this, verify the permissions of your .local directory. In my case, some of the files were owned by root and I wasn't able to view the directory. I changed the ownership, and I was all set. For a quick fix, just wipe out the ~/.local directory. (you may lose some settings though).

Publisher's Description▼▲
When people describe my lifestyle or family as weird, I find comfort, writes author Craig Groeschel. Who then shares a Christ-centered philosophy, on everything from money to scheduling to purity, to help you break out of the normal rut and live according to the rhythms of Gods grace and truth of his word. Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. In our oversexed world, lust, premarital sex, guilt, and shame are far more common than purity, virginity, and a healthy married sex life. And when it comes to God, the majority believe in him, but the teachings of scripture rarely make it into their everyday lives. Simply put, normal isnt working. Groeschels WEIRD views will help you break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life.

Cbdcustomer5 Stars Out Of 5Catchy Title Lives up to ExpectationsOctober 2, 2012CbdcustomerQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I purchased the audio book to research for potential small group curriculum. I found the book to be very practical in applying the concepts that are relevant in today's culture. I purchased the DVD study and participant's guides for a small group study. The DVD is very well done. The messages are powerful and impactful. The group was engaged with each session and fruit was taking seed during the study.
I would highly recommend the book for personal growth and encouragement along with the group study for small groups.

Rumors for January 4, 2008
Public Knowledge
- The Daily Dirge [.doc]: Sempre Crackdowns Encounter Difficulties; Child Rapist Arrested; Bhutto Assassinated; Storm Slams City
- Super Amazingly Truthful Awesome News [.jpg]: Alien Takeover, Vontaug Execs Resurrected to Create Zombie Army; Killer Blood-Drinking Bees Attack New York!, Manhattan Overrun With Insects
Sect and Clan
- n/a
- n/a
- Bureaucracy x1: Someone's been pushing the paperwork for a new club in town. Seems like it's going to take a while.
- Bureaucracy x2: The new nightclub, apparently, is called Helen's.
- Bureaucracy x3: Helen's isn't actually a new club. Apparently it's just an old club being renovated.
- Bureaucracy x4: The name of the old nightclub was named Daemon's. The owner of the old club had fallen into quite some trouble before selling it.
There has been some reshuffling in the unofficial power chains in the city bureaucracies. Basically continuing the shakeup that started two weeks ago. [?]
- Bureaucracy x5: Someone's been showing an awful lot of interest in maps for underground utilities, abandoned subway tunnels, sewers and the like... [?]
- Church x1: There continues to be a big push from the pulpit about the dangers posed by 'radical Islamic fundamentalists,' who are blamed for the 11-9 terrorist attacks. Church-goers are warned, however, not to confuse the acts and views of a few radicals with those of the large, peaceful majority of Muslims.
People are encouraged to work with the police in solving these and other terrorism cases, be patient and accept a few temporary and regrettable infringements on traditionally respected privileges so that the police may more efficiently track down the killers and terrorists. After all, people have a civil right to life that must, at times, override the other rights.
- Church x2: In fact, there are a suspiciously large number of very similar sermons/talks given across a range of religious denominations.
- Finance x1: The price of oil keeps rising... Will it keep going up? Will it drop? Who knows? Whoever guesses right will be rich, that's for sure.
The DOW Jones Industrial Average is down nearly 500 points in 5 days. Good time to sell, because it's only going to continue to slide.
- Finance x3: Vontaug CEO Bromme Friedrich is alive and has taken an active role in leading the company through this crisis, although this has not yet been publicly announced. Bromme doesn't want to make the announcement until he has everything lined up - the new managers, new directors, etc.
- Finance x4: Bromme feels the terrorist attacks were targeted on him, personally. His paranoia has reach new highs.
- Finance x5: Bromme's planning to move out of New York for good, and will take some of the company's new management with him.
There's strange shit going down involving a company called MuirCorp.
- Finance x6: Muircorp was involved in sempreverde research.
- Health x2: Although still stressed, it looks like the blood supply will be okay this season. Not great, but okay.
- Health x3: A new charity called "A Pinprick of Hope" has been building strength in Manhattan.
- Health x4: A Pinprick of Hope' definitely has a Christian slant.
- Health x5: 'POH' isn't just Christian; it's Catholic. They've been doing some work to help improve ER conditions in Manhattan.
Some of the doctors have been very tense... I think someone's been blackmailing a few of them about something.
There has been a big effort to get more volunteers for research studies being done at area research institutes.
- Health x6: This push has been mainly focused on some rather scruffy sorts...
High Society
- High Society x1: Christmas and New Years' rolled around, and as a result, so did the parties.
- High Society x3: There's a nightclub in town that's apparently being renovated.
- High Society x4: The name of the new nightclub is Helen's - apparently, it used to be a leather bar of some sort called Daemon's.
Someone's been throwing money around to help with some opera that's starting up.
- High Society x5: The owner of Daemon's was forced to sell the bar a few months ago, after some rough times and bad business...
What was that would-be opera patron's name... Luke Givery, maybe?
Did you see the tabloid story about the snow-monster that ate Manhattan?
- High Society x6: Ghiberti. His name was Luciano Ghiberti.
- Industry x1: Ford drops from 2nd place in US auto sales!
There's talk of a new round of regulations on polluters in New York. It could be bad for what little manufacturing remains in the area...
- Industry x4: Vontaug is apparently internally unfazed by the attacks. CEO Bromme Freidrich is alive, and is taking an active role in the company's recovery.
- Legal x2: Some law firm prepared and is advocating a bill to stop some improper practices at New York City morgues and funeral homes.
- Legal x3: The bill deals with blood disposal at area funeral parlors/morgues.
- Legal x4: It's not clear who the client is that wants this bill. Industry reps have grumbled in displeasure at it - it would certainly make it more expensive to operate in the city. The firm is Ghiberti, Kirkpatrick, and Hastings.
- Legal x5: Actually, there is no client. The firm itself originated the bill, for reasons unknown.
- Media x1: There was apparently some kind of spat within the editorial board of the New York Times.
- Media x2: Apparently, it had something to do with Guiliani's candidacy for president.
There are rumors that a fire in Brooklyn that killed a fire lieutenant may have been caused by below-code wiring that had been signed off on by city inspectors...
- Media x3: Someone has been aggressively trying to network in local media circles.
- Media x4: They have also have some political connections.
- Media x5: They not only have political ties, but they also have some friends in Washington D.C.. A few of them came up for New Years.
Strange as it sounds, there might be some truth to the whole 'blood-sucking bees' thing.
Did you see the tabloid story about the snow-monster that ate Manhattan?
- Occult x1: Someone was in the market for a bunch of pennyroyal. They said it was for salads, but you don't need that much pennyroyal for a salad...
- Occult x2: On several occasions, masked figures in black cloaks have congregated at intersections carrying signs that say 'Remember Lucasta' before scattering, discarding the cloaks and slipping away. None of the main Lucasta groups have claimed responsibility.
- Occult x3: Someone is trying to sell the body of a genuine demon. No word as to whether or not its actually real or just a hoax.
- Occult x5: Someone's been making overtures to some people in the New York occult scene. Seems they're spreading some work around, helping people cover old bills and generally being friendly...
There's a new babysitter for some of the women in the Women's Jewish mysticism study group. Apparently she's quite nice.
- Police x1: Police are celebrating after the arrest of a sex offender wanted since 1998. The criminal's one of those sick freaks that likes to touch little boys... thankfully he's off the streets now.
- Police x2: Some club is pushing real hard to improve its security. We're not sure why, though.
The name of the arrested sex offender is Rufus "Rumplestiltskin" Sampson. Apparently he's also wanted in Connecticut for the kidnapping of a child in 1998.
Fire Lieutenant John Martinson of engine company 249 in Booklyn died in a fire at a high rise.
- Police x3: That club with the security work? It's called the Sebau. All sorts of private security and bodyguard companies are being contracted to work on it.
There's a missing child/potential victim involved in the "Rumplestiltskin" case. Police are looking for him right now, but they only have a general idea.
Someone's been making an effort to help some guys on the force deal with the many bureaucratic snags that come with a job on the NYPD.
- Police x4: The search of "Rumplestiltskin's" apartment was fucking disturbing. Apparently the guy had some kind of torture kit lying around...
Someone's been helping out the cops in Staten Island...
They've helped a couple guys get noticed for promotions. They helped Vinnie shift onto the day shift, so he'll finally be able to spend some time with his kids.
- Police x5: "Rumplestiltskin" is a wacko - with a nickname like that, something's gotta be wrong upstairs...
The Staten Island guy has been working with the cops for a while now. They suspect he has/had some kind of ties to one or more of the area gangs.
The cops are really, really, really, ecstatically happy that the feds took over the blood-sucking bees case. They're tired of dealing with that shit.
I heard that there were some problems with this guy before. Not sure what with, though.
- Politics x1: It's campaign donation season again! And kind of has been for a while. Fundraiser parties left and right!
- Politics x2: Hillary Clinton did not win in Iowa. She is making her displeasure known.
There is very strong political support for an increased crackdown against 'bad apples' in society. Criminals, the homeless, Muslims, etc. Its for the children's protection.
- Politics x3: Some special interest group has been waving around a bill around to crack down on morgues.
- Politics x4: That morgue/funeral parlor bill doesn't have enough push behind it to get anywhere with it. It's supposed to close loopholes allowing improper blood disposal.
There was some guy from a biotech lobby shooting his mouth off about Clinton at the Giuliani party last night.
- Politics x5: The morgue bill was written by the legal firm Ghiberti, Kirkpatrick and Hastings. Not clear who's paying them to do it.
- Street x1: The onset of winter has calmed the normal tide of street prophets. It seems even Lucasta fanatics aren't immune to the cold.
- Street x2: There have, however, been a few remarkable incidents where groups dressed have converged at intersections carrying signs saying 'Remember Lucasta' before slipping away.
- Street x3: All kinds of churches are running some kind of joint shelter program. Let everyone know that if they see a green star in the window of a church, there's a shelter there.
Lots of guys on Staten are still scared about narcs. Supposedly some jackass named McClin is responsible for most of the continuing police busts, but no one knows how he got his info.
- Street x4: Lots of guys think that McClin is just a front for somebody else who's in with the gangs on Staten, but nobody can pin down one person who'd have all the info.
Have you heard? Apparently, if you do some of these 'trials' at the hospitals, they'll house you and feed you a few days. Just be careful what you sign up for...
- Street x5: There was one guy, Gary the Dog, who never once snitched, never talked shit to anybody, was real careful, all the works about his sempre dealings. He almost got busted on Staten, and he swears that he never talked to anybody named McClin.
If some were to happen to McClin, say, an accident perhaps, Dog would be extremely happy. Presents might be given...
Lots of injections at those trials... Heard something about some guys who tried out this trial thing and its a good thing they did - turns out they had particularly rare blood types. Hadn't known it beforehand.
- Street x6: Heard one of those rare blood type guys found out the hard way...
- Transportation x1: There was some weird shit at the New York National Boat Show this year... including a transvestite man-sized gecko.
- Transportation x2: Bloomberg is cutting the number of parking passes issued to city employees. The bastard. You know what - I bet the only ones who get the passes will be the ones who are buddy-buddy with his cronies.
- Transportation x4: There's been a proposal to increase the amount of surveillance in subway stations, London style.
- Transportation x5: Subway management is still getting occasional complaints about a few crazy night-riders. Apparently the guy with the bow-tie was causing distress to patrons again through overload music. He was also asked a few times to quiet his pet chihuahua.
There have been some inquiries into moving large animals into the city. Maybe someone's trying to put on a surprise circus, or bizarre public protest bit. They're trying to bring in a horse, or all things. Don't know why. They're big on keeping it low-key.
- Underworld x2: There's work out there for experienced snoops and hitmen.
- Underworld x3: The Staten situation is still pretty bad. In October and November there were a ton of tips, and it's not so bad now, but we don't know how that info got out. The only possibility is a snitch.
- Underworld x4: The snoops are wanted to looking into the source of the new, high-quality sempre supply.
- Underworld x5: There is a reward of $500,000 on Harry McClin's head (work for hitmen). They still can't find shit about him. The only thing they've got is that he apparently runs around and helps beat cops catch perps, but that's not an address for a special kinda package, know what I mean?
- University x1: Well, the number of people obviously cheating on final papers is up this year. Unfortunately, there has not been any noticeable increase in the quality of the plagiarism efforts.
- University x2: You know, if you can get a key, it can be a lot of fun to explore college buildings during the breaks, when no one's around to stop you. Just have to be careful not to make too much noise and alert security.
- University x3: I hear that if you mix three drops of sempre with a hit of X, then take a hit on a gravity bong, you fucking die. Just, straight up heart-exploded dead.
- University x4: Someone's been making the rounds at area schools, playing the networking game with faculty and a few students.
Someone's organized a fundraiser for Amnesty International. Aren't they just amazing!? Its so good of them to stand up for all of our rights!
- University x5: The fundraiser itself wasn't that successful, due to the timing, but what matters is that an effort was made.

VIKTOR Poster
- WRITER: Philippe Martinez
- DIRECTOR: Philippe Martinez
- PRODUCER: Arnaud Frilley
- CO-PRODUCTION COMPANY: Kapara Pictures and Babushka Films
- EDITOR: Thomas Fernandez
- DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Jean Francois Hensgens
- BUDGET: 7 Million Euros
- STARRING: Gerard Depardieu, Elizabeth Hurley, Eli Danker, Paulina Kuzminskaya, Marcello Mazarella, Denis Karasov, Evgeniya "Jenya" Akhremenko
VIKTOR Synopsis
After seven years of imprisonment in his native France for an infamous art heist, VIKTOR LAMBERT (Gerard Depardieu) returns to Moscow determined to uncover the circumstances behind his son JEREMY's brutal murder three months earlier. Immediately upon his arrival at the Hotel Metropol, he is met in Red Square by INSPECTOR PLUTOVA, a young, fierce detective in Moscow's technologically sophisticated police force. Plutova informs Lambert that he is under surveillance and encourages him not to go back to his old habits. He quickly loses her officers in the streets of Moscow and seeks refuge with his lifelong best friend, renowned Chechen ballet choreographer, SOULIMAN.
Souliman warmly welcomes Viktor home, and explains that Jeremy, who had lived with him during Viktor's incarceration, had taken a wrong turn over the last few years and become distant, getting involved with drugs. When Jeremy got together with his girlfriend, beautiful young photographer KATERINA, Souliman had hoped, fruitlessly, that Jeremy was on a better path.
Knowing Viktor's heart and his determination to discover the truth for himself, Souliman brings Lambert the cash he'd been entrusted with years before and Jeremy's watch that he'd received from Katerina at Jeremy's funeral. That he would stand by his brother through the upcoming battle is inherently understood. Viktor goes to Katerina, desperate to understand his son's life. Katerina coldly tells Viktor that she left Jeremy in the days just before his murder, as she knew that he was involved with something illegal and she wanted no part of it, or of Viktor's inquiry. When pressed, she reluctantly tells Viktor a name: VASSILY: the petty dealer who got Jeremy involved with the underworld. This one piece of information sends Viktor off onto a ruthless manhunt, pitting him in a vicious, pitiless game of cat and mouse against sadistic millionaire diamond smuggler and nightclub owner, ANTON BELLINSKI and his Italian attorney CLAUDIO MARTELLI.
Assisted by his long time love and partner-in-crime, glamorous club owner ALEXANDRA IVANOV (Elizabeth Hurley) and Souliman, Viktor stops at nothing to ensure that Katerina, who reveals that she is carrying Jeremy's child, is safe and that everyone who was involved with bringing down his son gets their due. It becomes a race against time when Plutova arrests Alexandra in order to put a stop to the madness being caused in the streets. In a series of fierce, action filled scenes that tear through Moscow and Grozny, Viktor brutally hunts down his prey until he finally comes face to face with the man responsible for his son's death.
VIKTOR is a film of revenge and redemption set against a backdrop of a gorgeous, modern day Russian Federation that finds its inspiration in the tradition of action films like Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino" and Sam Mendes' "Road to Perdition." Told in a powerful, visually stunning cinematic style, VIKTOR highlights Moscow's thriving art scene, seductive nightlife, and stunning architecture while Chechnya's beautiful natural landscape and extraordinary redevelopment is seen through Viktor's eyes. In VIKTOR, a father's sins are redeemed as he avenges his son's death, and a bitter, burned man finds his heart.

ART: That Van Gogh self-portrait? Not actually Van Gogh
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam now believes that a self portrait of Van Gogh from 1887 (pictured above on the left) is actually portrait of his brother Theo. If true, it would be the only known painting of Van Gogh's close confidant and supporter. Researchers also decided the painting named "Wheatfield with a Lark," is actually portraying a partridge.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani claims the club have no plans to revamp their attacking options in the summer.
There are suggestions that the Rossoneri will make some alterations after almost selling Alexandre Pato to Paris SG and then failing to sign Man City's Carlos Tevez in January.
"We're not thinking about changing our attack," he told Sky Sport Italia on Thursday. "We'll stay as we are.
"There will be time from May 14 until August 31 to think about the transfer market. Our thoughts for now are just on ending the season well."
Milan are just one point behind leaders Juventus after the Old Lady conceded a late equaliser against Lecce last night.
"I was just walking around in the changing rooms and I didn't believe it," he added. "I thought it was a joke that Lecce had equalised, but it was true.
"It's three or four games now that I decide to stop watching Milan matches with about 10 minutes left.
"I can't predict the future, all I will say is that we are having a great season. We have 77 points with two games left.
"Let's just look ahead and we did well to not give up on the Scudetto when everything seemed lost."
Milan face Inter on Sunday before finishing against Novara, while Juve will play Cagliari and Atalanta.

02 October | The Alchemist Prince, The Red Lily Crown | Elizabeth Loupas
The Latest News from the UK
The Alchemist Prince (which is still The Alchemist Prince for the moment, but watch this space) is now scheduled for release in May 2015 in the UK. I know, I'm sorrybut the mass-market paperback of The Second Duchess will be released in the UK in 2014, so Chiara and Ruan and Francesco and Giovanna and Bianca and Isabella will have to wait a bit. Francesco is off in one of his dark sulks about it, and Bianca is outraged. Heh.
The Red Lily Crown is firmly on track to be released April 1, 2014 here in the US.
After the first of the year, when I have books, I'll host some giveaways here, including special international giveaways. Another reason to watch this space…
