The Sportsman Channel Showcase is an exclusive behind the scenes look for readers of AmmoLand Shooting Sports News where we get to know the personalities behind some of the most watched Sportsman Channel programming. This week we talk to Jana Waller, hostess of Skull Bound TV.
By Ryan Nolan
New Berlin, Wis. –-(Ammoland.com)- How did you get started in the hunting and the TV industry?
I began writing for hunting websites and magazines in 2006 in order to stay connected to the hunting community. I met fellow writer and producer , Jim Kinsey, and we began discussing what we both felt was missing in many of the current hunting shows. One idea lead to another and our show SKULL BOUND was born, tying in my skull business and passion for conservation.
What is the biggest mishap that has happened while filming an episode?
Luckily, we haven't had too many mishaps while filming for SKULL BOUND. Jim's extensive experience in filming dangerous game hunts has been a godsend and has saved us from many mistakes. The funniest 'mishap' would have to be when I forgot my bow on an Idaho black bear hunt. We were making the 1.5 hour drive over to our hunting site from our home every evening and I had forgotten that I took my bow out of it's case to clean it the night before. I didn't discover that I forgot my bow until we stepped out of the truck in Idaho. It's pretty darn hard to hunt without a weapon.
What is your most memorable hunt?
I was fortunate to get an invite to hunt antelope with the Chippewa Cree people of the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation this past September. The hunt went down beautifully but more memorable to me was the celebration following which included drummers, dancing and the opportunity to talk with some of the elders.
Can you tell us about the funniest moment of your hunting Career?
The funniest moment of my hunting career would have to be when my African PH started lighting zebra dung in our blind. I had never experience anyone lighting dried 'turds' on fire to cover or mask our human scent. I couldn't stop laughing which of course isn't exactly helpful while hunting out of a blind. Surprisingly, the smokey smell was actually enjoyable which of course made me laugh even harder!
How do you like to spend your time when you are not hunting?
When I'm not hunting you can most likely find me fishing. From fly fishing to jigging for walleye, I love to be on the water. And when I'm not hunting or fishing, I'm painting or beading skulls.
What is something most people do not know about you? (Something people are surprised to find out about you.)
People may be surprised to learn that I'm deathly afraid of heights. Despite spending the last 20 years in a treestand, it's a personal challenge every time I climb that tree.
What are you most proud of, or what is your biggest accomplishment?
I went to a month long intensive guide school this past summer in Wyoming. I'd been wanting to learn the skills of a successful backcountry guide every since I started hunting the mountains of Montana two years ago. The school was not only physically challenging but mentally as well. I graduated in a class with five men and am very proud to have completed the school.
If you could hunt any place in the world and any species where and what would it be?
I would love to go on an archery moose hunt in Canada or Alaska. I've been blessed to travel to both incredible countries but haven't been on a moose hunt.
What is something that viewers would be surprised to learn about filming an episode? Or what was surprising to you when you first started filming?
It's so much more difficult to capture a hunt on film than viewers may think. From the unpredictability of game to the challenge of hiding movement and scent of another person in the field, it can be pretty arduous to capture the hunt perfectly on film. As most hunters know, the hunt can go down very quickly and to film it all from the right angle to be steady can be tough. Viewers may also be surprised to know how many dozens of hours go into making a 30 minute episode. It's not just the challenge of filming the hunt, but also having a creative editor that can tell the story in an exciting manner.
What one tip can you give your fans to a successful hunt?
The phrase 'successful hunt' is subjective. What one hunter considers 'success' another may think it was a bust. It's simply not possible to harvest an animal on every hunt but to me it's not about the trophy. It's about the adventure and the amazing people I get to meet throughout the journey. I went to New Mexico this past Fall and hunted for ten days straight in the Gila Mountains without harvesting an elk with my bow. It was an incredible adventure that I would call a huge success. My tip would be to go into every hunt with a positive attitude and to appreciate the adventure, not the kill.
What is your favorite meal including wild game? Any good recipes?
My favorite wild game meal would have to be smoked bear. It's so simple and so delicious that I'm surprised more people haven't tried it. Simply take your bear hams to a local processor for smoking and when you pick it up it is fully cooked. All you have to do is slowly warm it in the oven at 200 degrees for three hours with some yams or pineapples and you'll have a wonderful meal for days.

Hello again, all! Time for Part Three of the Breaking Down Nemesis Series, in which we break down "Miss Marple Takes Action". For those of you just joining us, the previous two posts can be found by clicking the above posts, or these links right here: Part One and Part Two.
At the last we left off, Miss Marple had just finished reading a letter from the deceased Mr. Rafiel, who provided her with a code-word– "Nemesis"- and instructions to solve a crime. But what crime? Now, Miss Marple must take action, as the chapter title so endearingly states, and we begin to see how the lovable elderly lady whom Murder She Wrote was based upon works!
Like us, Miss Marple is startled over the amount of information she received. Or rather, the sheer lack of information. Dismissing the idea of Mr. Broadribb providing her any more information, Jane quickly decides that it was intriguing. And that, perhaps, Mr. Rafiel had meant it to be.
She then goes on to describe it as a crossword puzzle with no clues given. Considering for a moment, that he might have meant her to take a plane or boat to the West Indies or to South America, she decides that if that's what he meant, he's insane. Which, I agree. After all, he couldn't expect her to find something to solve there that had anything to do with him? No, instead, Miss Marple would have to find something from her own stores of knowledge.
Three days later, Miss Marple writes a letter to Mr. Broadribb, letting him know she's accepted the proposal (and wants that 25000. See Part Two for a visual representation of the money.) and that she really was expecting more information. She asks him questions about Mr. Rafiel's relationships and connections, and whether or not he'd had a relative that might have fallen on an unjust situation.
Again, we are treated to Mr. Broadribb and Mr. Schuster talking. They seem to have no idea what to tell her either. Now, in this section, Mr. Schuster said something that I find rather offensive.
"-I don't see the least chance that some old pussy from the country can interpret a dead man's brain and know what fantasy was plaguing him.-"
-Mr. Schuster
Now, I realize that it was true to the times, as this is exactly how a man of that day and age might talk if he were uncultured swine, and I think it was used exactly to show that this man was boorish and rude. More and more I find myself disliking this man. I hope he ends up getting kicked by a horse or something. He also brings up the idea that Mr. Rafiel might be trying to take Miss Marple down a peg, 'teach her a lesson' so to speak, by sending her on a fool's errand.
Mr. Broadribb, however, doesn't. He seems to think that something was worrying Mr. Rafiel, and that he was dead serious about all this. Since neither can fathom what Mr. Rafiel might have been thinking, they decide to wait for some development. Meanwhile, Miss Marple waited for something to turn up as well. In fact, she ends up getting yelled at by Cherry for taking walks too much.
Apparently, her doctor has said that she wasn't to exercise too much. Which honestly sounds odd to me, because exercise has good affects on the health. But well, it was back in old times, so. Cherry, done telling Miss Marple off, goes and has dinner with her husband, Chinese food, specifically, which set me off to craving Chinese too.
During after-dinner tea, she and Miss Marple talk about the house at the end of the village, which has been repainted, done up and someone called Miss Hastings moved in. If you remember from Part One, Miss Hastings is the employer of Miss Bartlett, whom Miss Marple talked about gardens with briefly. Miss Marple decides just then to write a letter. Specifically, to another friend from this previous adventure we still know nothing about, a Miss Prescott, who is sister to Canon Prescott, a clergyman. She feels much better after sending the letter, because at least she's done something.
Joan replies quickly, informing her of Mrs. Walter's location. Apparently, Mrs. Walters DID remarry, and she's now Mrs. Alderson or Anderson now. Miss Prescott provides her address, and Miss Marple sleeps on whether or not she should contact her by surprise, or write her first. And that night, she has a dream:
"I had a curious dream,…I was talking to someone, not anyone I knew very well. Just talking. Then when I looked, I saw it wasn't that person at all I was talking to. It was somebody else. Very odd."
This is the most brilliant bit of foreshadowing I've ever seen. Who does it refer to? Is Mrs. A not going to turn out to be who Miss Marple remembers? Perhaps Joan Prescott was not who she seemed? Or maybe something else entirely! I can't wait to find out. What a lovely shiver from it, it seems so important!
Decided now, Miss Marple asks Cherry to help her set up a sting operation. Cherry is to call Mrs. A, and ask if she's to be home today. If she answers or if she is going to come to the phone, she's to say that Cherry is Mr. Broadribb's secretary and ask if she can meet with him later that week. If she is to be home that day, then Cherry is to find out when she comes back.
Turns out Mrs. A is going to be in all day, and Miss Marple sets off in a cab towards her next clue!
I've noticed a trend, as I began breaking down these chapters. They're quite short, for the most part. Easy to digest in a bus ride or over a lunch break. I find it easy enough to read a chapter, but not so easy to stop. With things picking up the pace, I can definitely begin to see why some have called Miss Agatha's work addictive. I didn't go into much detail about it, but even the cab-company gets some expanding on, information that Miss Marple remembers.
The descriptions in the beginning ARE very lengthy and quite detailed, which is definitely a point towards out Agatha Christie Code theory. But what drew me in the most in this chapter is how seamlessly Miss Marple went from having no idea what to do next, to thinking through, logically, onto what she should do next, her next point of contact. It was, again, very organic. It was what I had been thinking about in chapter two, just after I read the letter. Contacting Mrs. A is her best bet, and the logic of it gives the reader a sense of accomplishment, because they thought of it too.
In the comments section, please tell me your opinion on this. Is it a good thing to allow the reader to guess what is going to happen before hand? Or does it ruin the mystery of the story? When was the last time you read something so compelling that it felt as if you were deducing it yourself before the character?

Yoga Mats
Not all yoga mats are created equally. Sometimes the only thing holding you back from personal breakthroughs is the wrong foundation. At Manduka, you can find your soul mat, the strong base for learning the centering spirit of yoga. At the dawn of a new practice, the quest for centeredness can start with Manduka. These are the products that studios and students alike have stood by since 1997. Even a well-seasoned yogi will find that a better mat makes all the difference. These yoga mats are made of quality, eco-friendly materials that revolutionize the practice.
Every detail is a conscious decision driven toward the most quality product imaginable. They have unmatched wet grip and durability while also being made of sustainable tree rubber. These features contribute to Manduka's small ecological footprint. In fact, our manufacturing process contributes zero waste and emissions into the environment. Even the mats are 100% recyclable, making them the first ever of this kind. This may be the more difficult road to travel to produce the best products, but maintaining harmony with both your practice and the Earth is of the utmost importance.

Battleship Texas closing next week for repairs
HOUSTON — The Battleship Texas, which has been stabilized since the historic vessel sprang a significant leak a week ago, will be closed to the public starting Monday until repairs can be completed.
"The closure will be for the duration of the salvage company and dive team repairs, a process we hope will take no more than a week," said Andy Smith, Battleship Texas State Historical Site superintendent.
Currently, the ship is stable with a 1- to 2-degree list to the port and an estimated water inflow rate of less than 100 gallons per minutes. Earlier this week, the rate was 850 gpm, Smith said.
Clean-up of onboard oil residue continues and is in its third phase. Meanwhile, pumping will continue to keep up with incoming flow with all preparations in place to increase capacity as needed up to about 2,500 gpm with a combination of 4-inch electric and 3-inch pneumatic pumps. These will continue on an around-the-clock basis.
TPWD has been working for some time toward the permanent dry-berthing of the ship, with details of that available at www.dryberthTEXAS.com
"If a dry-berth solution that the department can afford cannot be found," Smith said, "TPWD will shift its efforts to repairing the ship in place. No final decision on the issue has been made, but the department remains committed to preserving this historic vessel. "
Anyone wishing to make a donation toward the preservation of the 100-year-old battleship may do so at www.battleshiptexas.org

Our sin debt has been settled
The great secret that was revealed to Paul is a gift of grace, a free gift. In Gods sight our sin debt has been settled, we stand in righteousness before him right now. He sees us seated with Christ in heaven, we are right now the praise of the glory of his grace throughout eternity. It follows logically that this secret must not be read into the four Gospels or into the book of Revelation.
Pauls insistence upon the reality of our union with Christ, as having died and risen again in him. The Apostle unfolds to us, we died with Christ, our standing being complete and perfect in Christ, we cannot grow in this standing. We may grow in the knowledge, experience, and enjoyment of it, our life is the outcome of our belief.
If we are ignorant of this free gift, we are easy prey for every minister of righteousness who may rise up. Nothing more is needed to be added, their is not a ordinance on the face of the earth that can make us complete. We dont need to pass a satisfactory examination, or take another class, we stand in righteousness before God right now.
Thanks for any insight about this free gift.

Perhaps you're familiar with our recent post on gender-specific "his-and-hers" bottled water. (If not, then we recommend giving that a read before continuing with this post, as it may slightly lessen the shock-value.)
Sadly, the bottled water industry isn't stopping there. In an equally desperate attempt to salvage the hold on plastic that is quickly slipping from their not-so-firm grasp, water bottlers have now created what the title of this post suggests – bottled water for babies. Branded as "nourish," the concept is woman-owned and woman-operated, founded by two moms who were searching for a convenient way to feed their children on-the-go.
The bottle comes two ways : either as an 8 oz. portion with markings for measuring and mixing formula and a reusable nipple top, or as a 10 oz. portion with a leak-proof sippy top for toddlers. The Nourish website implies that the source is English Mountain Spring Water. The product was launched in stores on June 1, 2009 and is also available to buy online. Each bottle costs around $3.50. (Ah, the price we pay for convenience…)
To their credit, the bottles are BPA-free. But so are most reusable baby bottles. And those can just as easily be filled with filtered water and carried in mom's diaper bag. Isn't that what most moms do these days anyway?.

Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center, by Ray Monk (Doubleday: 2013), 822 pages.
"There aren't any secrets about the world of nature," Robert Oppenheimer told journalist Edward R. Murrow in 1954. It had been nine years since the bombs he'd helped develop as leader of the Manhattan Project's secret weapons laboratory at Los Alamos destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and ended the Second World War, and by now Oppenheimer was almost as well known for the fact that the US government had withdrawn his security clearance (because of suspected Communist sympathies) as for his achievements in physics. Secrecy had become a major aspect of Oppenheimer's public persona—and he had strong opinions on the subject. "The trouble with secrecy is that it doesn't give the public a sense of participation," he told Murrow. "The trouble with secrecy is that it denies to the government itself the wisdom and resources of the whole community… There are secrets about the thoughts and intentions of men. Sometimes they are secret because a man doesn't like to know what he's up to if he can avoid it." [658] That last comment reveals something profound about Robert Oppenheimer: How well did he understand himself—or want to?
Ray Monk faces this problem repeatedly in his massive and detailed new biography, Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center. Oppenheimer sought meaning in the universe not only through the practice of science, but through spiritual study, poetry, and the contemplation of nature. His Los Alamos colleague Hans Bethe believed that Oppenheimer "worked at physics mainly because he found physics the best way to do philosophy." [419] Surely he was the only scientist at Los Alamos who counted Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal as his favorite book. [676] In his early twenties, Oppenheimer confessed: "The kind of person that I admire most would be one who becomes extraordinarily good at doing a lot of things but maintains a tear-stained countenance" [113] – a pretty close description of the man Oppenheimer became.
Monk portrays Oppenheimer as an outsider who was constantly striving to reach "the center," whether in his scientific work, which explored neutron stars and black holes in which the centers of massive stars collapse and fold into themselves; as a Jew at Harvard and Berkeley (both were wary of admitting "too many" Jews); as a political leftist with (as Albert Einstein remarked) "an unrequited love for the United States" (xvi); and as a scientific researcher whose appreciation for the value of collaborative work inevitably put him at odds with the security restrictions of the United States military.
Born in 1904, great things were always expected of Julius Robert Oppenheimer (named after his father, he dropped his first name early on) and he was raised in spectacular isolation in the luxurious New York City apartment of his wealthy parents. A boyhood interest in chemistry ultimately led him to the University of Gottingen in 1926 where his advisor Max Born became a lasting and profound influence. He was an outsider in Europe, but Oppenheimer's work in quantum chemistry nevertheless managed to impress his colleagues.
After establishing UC Berkeley as a center for theoretical physics, in 1943 Oppenheimer was chosen to lead the secret weapons laboratory at Los Alamos, a job requiring all of his varied skills, a job at which he excelled. Yet as soon as the atomic weapons he'd helped develop at Los Alamos were deployed, Oppenheimer began to lobby for ways to mitigate their danger—primarily by sharing information with other countries to achieve international arms control. The Los Alamos scientists argued that the so-called "secret" to the atomic bomb would soon be unlocked by other developed countries. Yet most in the US government, "to whom the physics of fission was an utter mystery," Monk reminds us, "regarded [this argument] as a treasonous plot." [503] "Mr. President, I feel I have blood on my hands," Oppenheimer told President Truman when they met shortly after the end of the war. Truman recoiled. "I told him the blood was on my hands," Truman said later, "let me worry about that." [494] After Oppenheimer left, Truman told Dean Acheson, "I don't want to see that son-of-a-bitch ever again." [493] It was the beginning of the end for Oppenheimer's status as an American hero.
Although he continued to work on behalf of the United States in the Atomic Energy Commission, in 1949 he was accused of having Communist ties and his security clearance was revoked. The American scientific community was outraged. Drawing on many independent studies and testimonies, Monk demonstrates that Oppenheimer was never a security threat.
Oppenheimer died of cancer at the age of 62. He had been under surveillance by the FBI for the previous nine years. The diplomat George F. Kennan spoke at Oppenheimer's funeral. "The truth is that the US Government never had a servant more devoted at heart than this one," said Kennan. [694] The "secret" of Oppenheimer, Monk reveals, was not Soviet sympathy but rather, as his friend and fellow physicist Isidor Rabi observed, a "spiritual quality… He always left a feeling that there were depths of sensibility and insight not yet revealed." [694]

Baseball in the 'jeans' for Petralli's musician son
The catcher sees all. More than 20 years after his final Major League game and at the age of 54, his eyes are still fixed, staring to stage left but ready to peel off in either direction to take care of more important action. He's not wearing a mask or chest protector tonight, just a button-down shirt, dungarees and shoes that make sense. His quick tally has about 500 people crammed in here at The Live Oak in Fort Worth on this December night in 2013. They're all standing. He knows they'll still be standing for the last note.
The guitarist on the right side of the stage, Austin Jenkins, is finger-picking a fast, noodling lead riff. His guitar pick is in his mouth, to be used later in the song when the rest of the band kicks into a jazzy, syncopated, samba-inspired jam. Bassist Steve Terebecki, all spectacles on a cherubic face, is in the middle in a rifleman's stance, pumping every mite of his energy into the rhythm. Behind him, drummer Josh Block covers the kit like a bearded Buddy Rich. His sticks fly in perfect time to every tom and every cymbal while his upper body stays still.

Behind him, drummer Josh Block covers the kit like a bearded Buddy Rich. His sticks fly in perfect time to every tom and every cymbal while his upper body stays still.
Geno Petralli, veteran of 809 big league games, many of them behind the plate, sees it all. But right now, not far from the home he made for his family as a member of the Texas Rangers in the 1980s and '90s, his focus stays stage left. That's where his son James, White Denim's lead singer and guitarist, stands.
James Petralli, 31, is unassuming in an untucked white oxford shirt, jeans, glasses and three-day beard. The singer matches Jenkins' lead and fires into the first solo with his Gibson 135. He sings the words he wrote: "You see the great collecting sunsets/Driving tunnels in their cars/You see the other actors waiting/To take their cake in the dark." He eyes his bandmates through the well-practiced but still-bedeviling time-signature shifts that lead up to the slowed-down final flourish, a chord that rings out hope and makes his father smile.
His back hurts. Has for a few days, but James doesn't have time to think about it because his band's white Econoline van has just pulled in front of Neumo's, the Seattle club they're headlining. It's the night before the Super Bowl and the Emerald City is lit up in Seahawks blue and green. White Denim has just driven from Missoula, Mont., where they played last night. They were all over Australia not long before that. They'll be in Europe pretty soon.
James scoots across the street for coffee. He's wearing a gray winter hat and he's thinking about his wife, Elaine, and their daughter, June, who isn't even a year old. When his mind turns to family, thoughts of "Pops" aren't far behind. He remembers wearing his dad's No. 12 and catcher's gear in Little League and wandering around the home clubhouse at Arlington Stadium like it was no big deal, because it was just one of his childhood hangouts. He remembers the faces of the teammates who made an impression: Nolan Ryan, Jim Sundberg, Pete Incaviglia. Years later, he'd write a funky instrumental song for White Denim and give it the title, "Incaviglia," just because the name was as exotic as the tune.
James played baseball until he was 16, but by then he had discovered curveballs. He couldn't hit them and couldn't stop thinking about why he couldn't hit them. It was a whole lot easier to throw oneself into the wondrous freedom of not only the automobile but the radio inside said automobile. Cruising around town, James fell in love with Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles , and that led to his first guitar, an Epiphone Casino Natural just like John Lennon's, at 17.
Geno knew his son was disappearing to rooms with closed doors and the homes and carports of friends to play guitar. He knew James didn't have the everlasting passion for baseball of his other son, Ben, who would wind up getting drafted five times and playing a season of independent Minor League ball before hurting his arm and getting a civilian job. So it wasn't exactly expected when he and his wife, Sue, were watching the homecoming parade for Nolan Catholic in Fort Worth roll by and there was high-school senior James and some buddies, playing rock music atop a float. And sounding good.
White Denim came together in 2006 and put out its first EP, Let's Talk About It, in '07. Back then they were a three-piece, just James, Terebecki and Block, making crazy, lo-fi, garage-jam noise. They kept at it and added Jenkins in 2010. Critical acclaim and audiences grew with each release. Jeff Tweedy, the frontman for the big-time band Wilco, took a liking and added White Denim as support during a 2012 tour. Gigs at major festivals followed, and so did the late night TV circuit: Letterman, Kimmel and more. In 2012, Tweedy invited the band to their Loft studio in Chicago to work on tracks. The result was several songs on White Denim's latest album, Corsicana Lemonade.
James isn't banking on anything. There's still no tour bus, and when he's standing in front of the van on a chilly Seattle night, waiting for his mates to reappear in time for soundcheck, he likens the sacrifice and the never-enough-pay and the road meals and the occasionally malodorous traveling conditions so close to your brothers in arms to being, well, a Double-A ballplayer, "or maybe Rookie ball," he says with a smile.
But when it comes to music, these guys are no rookies. Terebecki and Block studied music from an early age. James is still playing catch-up on those mornings at home when he's out on the porch strumming an acoustic and blurting out lyrical patterns and imagining how the instrumental parts will ebb and flow around the narratives. Leadership, more or less, and he supposes it does stem from his dad behind that plate for all those years, calling pitches, communicating to teammates, being present in the biggest moments.
A few hours later, James is under the hot lights at Neumo's, turning to Terebecki during the searing middle section of the instrumental "At The Farm," lost in the groove, sweating to get every bend of every note right. White Denim is in the middle of another sold-out set, playing their blend of 1970s prog-rock chords, Western swing, Grateful Dead further-seeking, Caribbean kickback, and, as James says his bandmates call it, "crazy redneck jazz." He bends over and leans into another pedal-tinged solo, high up on the fret board. His back seems just fine.
There are so many parallels from father to son, Geno says. Today, he's driving from Fort Worth out to Amarillo, where he's overseeing a job in the construction business. It reminds him of his own road trips as an 18-year-old rookie for Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada, in 1978, fresh off his third-round selection by the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays didn't have proper documentation for some of his teammates at the time, so there would be the occasional four-hour drive to the border, the two-hour detention, then six hours of sleep on the bus rolling through hundreds of miles of quiet farmland in the dark. Best-case scenario had you waking up in a hotel parking lot.
Geno thinks back on the big leagues of his youth, where it seemed like you had to play five or six years in the Minors just to learn what your responsibilities were as a catcher and how to handle a pitching staff and be a winning player. He had a few stints in the Majors starting in 1982, but he didn't get 100 at-bats in a season until his first year with the Rangers in '85. He ended up sticking until 1993 and can fill books with the memories.
Sure, there was the first hit, a double off Indians starter Len Barker in the top of the first inning at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium on Sept. 5, 1982, but the team stuff sticks out more, like catching knuckleballer Charlie Hough and leading the league in passed balls almost every year as a result.
Or the night in 1987, when a hotshot young teammate tore out of the Arlington players parking lot in his new sports car after a game, coming a bit too close to kindergartner James for Pops' liking. The next day Geno grabbed the player by his collar, threw him up against a locker, and told him never to do it again. He didn't.
Or July 31, 1990, when Ryan, sitting on 299 career victories and having been unable to deliver No. 300 at home five days earlier, called a meeting before his start in Milwaukee and apologized to his teammates for not getting it done. He was sorry for all the hoopla and attention. It was taking away from the team, he said. Geno thinks about it now, remembering how they told Ryan, "We need to score you some runs," and then did just that, putting up 11. He remembers being behind the plate for all 146 of Ryan's pitches in 7 2/3 innings and seeing righty Brad Arnsberg through the final 1 1/3 for the win. Most of all, he remembers the satisfaction of a goal accomplished. He says he felt it every day he put on a big league uniform. He tells James about it as much as he can.
James is in a small recording studio in Austin, and he's playing piano. This is a new one for Geno, who thought it started and ended with guitar and singing and songwriting, but then again, this whole thing is new for Geno. He's never seen James behind the scenes, only on stage six or seven times. The former catcher is watching today, though, feet up on the arm of a sofa and eyes fixed straight ahead at his son, who is laying down a track for an upcoming solo project. What will amount to three minutes of album time is now in its seventh hour of 12. Geno has already heard parts of this same song over 200 times today, and they just ate lunch. He's seen James laugh and fall silent for minutes at a time in deep concentration. The song has been broken apart, separated, dissected, put back together, overdubbed, laid bare and done all over again.
This is how you perfect something, and Geno knows it. You work at it. You practice it. You repeat it. You work at it some more. You will get frustrated and contemplate giving up and drop a ball and break a string. You will hit a home run and play an encore to a standing ovation. The one thing you must remember is that it takes time. The other thing is that you have to keep trying.

How school placements work
During school placements, trainees benefit from working alongside experienced teachers. Trainees have opportunities to observe excellent teaching before experimenting with approaches to teaching and learning across the secondary age range, during which time they are supervised and supported by teachers and tutors. They begin with a light teaching timetable which is gradually increased as they become more skilled and confident.
The main focus of this training programme is classroom practice and the development of the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to ensure that pupils make excellent progress in their learning. Trainees are supported by both a school based mentor and a university tutor working in partnership to support them. They are experienced and skilled in classroom observation, giving feedback and setting targets for development. Trainees have full support in developing their behaviour management skills throughout the year. Placements will be in Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, ages 11-16, with some opportunity to experience Key Stage 5 and the primary curriculum. Trainees are based in school throughout the year, except when they have sessions at the university, usually on Wednesdays. Trainees have a seven week second placement in a contrasting school, usually another local partnership school.
Professional development is supported by an extensive programme of in-school training to enrich their experience, delivered by expert practitioners in the Partnership, in addition to the Masters level PGCE programme delivered by the University of Roehampton.
Towards the end of the year trainees are in school full time, with salaried trainees ending at the end of the school term and tuition fee funded trainees ending when their university training is complete in late June. School Direct trainees are expected to become fully involved in the life of the school to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the profession.

awww, rolled cuffs again!
Don't see much of this in US. Very common in Italy. Last time I was in Rome I saw a bunch Middle School kids on a field trip and several of the boys walked like this while talking, it was adorable. Anyway…love the colors on the taller gent. What a great way to wear a t-shirt. As for the other man, to me, his outfit says "I am a fashion writer leaving a fashion show." He's also wearing my least favorite color pants, nice haircut and facial hair grooming though.
No, no y NO! Those ankle socks with the dress shoes have to go. I like everything else though. What is happening with the pants on the right, is the waist button not fastened? Jorge from WPB
is 'unbuttoned' the next thing or were the trousers possibly a little tight ;-) ?
That's so cute.
I hope people keep wearing their trousers rolled for a long time to come.
Very nice.
Lots of European men seem to do this; more than in the UK and US, anyway. It's nice that they feel as free to express their affection physically as women do.
Incidentally, have you seen the little piece about you on Refinery29? I think you would enjoy it.
Quirky and adorable photo. Love both looks, but the rolled up cuffs and ankle socks got to go.
Is it a double button waist with the top one undone? The band looks really high. I don't actually like either look, but I like the photo.
Des bons amis!
handsome men,
& elegants !
HOORAY they are wearing SOCKS
I love them for not following the sockless crowd…yes to free thinking, each foot to its own.
It is a shame that men in America do not show more affection to one another. The immediate idea is -"gay". But there was time when it was just affection, not sexual. Even manly Scotts used to walk arm in arm. One of my favorite old Scottish professors used to take strolls with his students, locked arm in arm.
Great photo Scott.
Better with trousers done up.
I think he popped his button ;>)
I like the combination of the roll pants and ankle socks with oxfords.
The more I study his pants I think he has suspenders on. He could'nt possibly keep those pants up with out some added support. I really like the way he shows alot of character with his hairsyle, glasses, well groomed facial hair,and his shirt buttoned up. I like the other guys total look!
I agree with a lot of the comments thus far. American male behavior is too structured around some "macho norm".
We are snickering, immature schoolkids when it comes to anything that falls outside of what we think of as "normal".
And even if they are more than friends, BFD.
This style is just right in time. Like it very much…and I need the phone number from the left one….
That is adorable.
aww bless. love the bromance xx
the waistcoat on the taller gent is too short, the gap between the waistcoat and trousers is unsightly. still not digging the rolled pant leg thing. but a cute photo.
The rolled pantlegs are everywhere this summer, except of course, for here in London, Ontario. I really like the look on guys as long as the pants are narrow enough. It does look like the pants on the guy on the right don't fit well at the waist, but I love the colour.
Maybe they are leaving a cafe and he is just so full he had to undo that top button?? I dunno…love the gent on the left.
Great shot, Scott.
I love that they are comfortable enough to show this type of affection. Anyway the guy on the right looks really well put together,His pant are such a nice colour and the rolled pants are just great. I Love A Navy Blazer!!!
Any of you Sartorialist fans have a recommendation for where to purchase a nice blue blazer in the NYC area? Especially a nice, slim-fitted (ie. European) cut?
Thanks for the jacket inspiration, Sart, as we move into Fall here in the Big Apple!
Very dear.
Nice photo Scott. I like the differences between the two men. The differences in height and in style. Nice contrast.
Also reagrding Exris's comment. As a Scot I have never seen any manly Scots walking arm in arm. It's not popular in places like Glasgow or Dundee. Although it would be good if it was…
Well they have great taste in shoes anyway ………
There´s something which reminds me of Truman Capote when I see these two guys.
I photographed the man on the right also and the top button was supposed to be like that and he was keeping them up with braces which you can't see here. It's a shame also you cant see the detail of the wallet he is holding which was patent red skin of some kind, which went so well with the gold buttons of the Ralph lauren jacket.
What a shot scottxxx
The blond on the left looks SO Swedish. Love the bromance!
Thank you Thom Browne!!
I wear ankle socks everyday, they are incredibly comfortable, especially during the summer. And they look fantastic on hairy, muscular legs.
Slim pants rolled up and vests are the "bomb" this year. Deal with it:)
Vest kinda scare me though. Will they go to the back of the closet next year with the mens summer scarves?
love everything about this photo. i'm going to steal their looks, even though i'm a girl.
i miss socks, too.
I think I saw these guys in Fort Greene last night…
I've seen this look — the vest, the pomaded hair, the rolled-up pants and dress shoes — so many times in New York…
I'm the first guy to turn up my jeans to show a little ankle with a nice loafer but come on… With these guys I feel it's starting to get a little costume-y.
this headline is priceless.
Very impressed with the bespecled gentleman. Rolled up pants + ankle socks is a risky combination I think. He pulled it off quite nicely. Great photo!
So how many photographers were shooting this pair? Was it set up? Boo.
Awww…so cute.
No one wants to see ankles. Rolling your trousers is only acceptable when you have a legitimate risk of getting them wet or dirty. Buttoning the top button of a shirt without a tie is too nerdy for most nerds.
What a beautiful palette of light blue, rust, brown and navy blue. I love the playfulness of the small rolled cuff of the pants, that little bit of ankle goes a long way!
They both have AMAZING style, kinda like similar but unique at the same time. GREATNESS!
How funny! I saw & shot this guy, too! I shot him for you, because I thought, that is so a Scott shot. Was going to send it to you & a minute later that's when I met & shot you. I sent you the shots, did you receive them yet? (you might be a bit busy ; )
here's the link:
best, jill x
Don't they look like the hosts of "Mythbusters"?
I love his socks. They remind me of my mom, who always wears white "peds" with loafers. She's 85, and still stylin'
in Italy they could be straight, in NY it's "Bromance" and in Sydney it's common and they are boyfriends!
I don't think USA is alone in not having straight men walk arm in arm! It's not common in the UK at all – in fact I live here and I never see it (apart from on Saturday nights when one guy helps another to stand up after a few pints!) In Italy sure, but we're not all going to become Mediterranean overnight. And it would be so self-conscious if every country mimicked Italian ways. We are, culturally, what we are.

Writing about global warming has changed a lot in the past few years. This is not because the science itself has changed – but because political reaction to it has.
It seems that we have, at long last, moved beyond denial and inertia. The time for books that explain what global warming is and why it matters has come and gone. The need now is for answers to the one question that really mattered all along: What do we do about it?
Two current books examine the evidence and come up with a series of similar proposals. Each is coauthored by a prominent scientist and an accomplished science journalist and both make worthy additions to global-warming literature. But they go about it in very different ways.
Some environmental activists may be tempted to stop and savor for a moment the fact that the Bush administration and its climate obstructionists will soon be gone. But make it a brief moment, warn Gabrielle Walker and Sir David King, authors of The Hot Topic: What We Can Do About Global Warming. The long moment we've already taken between the first realization that burning fossil fuels would cause dangerous warming and our present state of modest concern have cost us.
Thanks to political foot-dragging and ever-increasing carbon emissions, they say, the best we can hope for now is to avert worst-case scenarios.
Sir David, a chemist at Cambridge University and chief science adviser to the British government, is famous for his 2004 statement that climate change is "the most severe problem we are facing today, more serious even than the threat of terrorism." So perhaps it's not surprising that this book conveys a sense of urgency. The authors' tone is chummy, but their focus is clearly on facts, analysis, and implications.
Strategies for change
They start with a capsule review of climate-change science. Their primary focus, however, is on technological and political strategies for controlling emissions and adapting to inevitable change. The proposed solutions are numerous and not terribly new. But they are pragmatic, well described, and convincing.
If "Hot Topic" is a concise guide to the world of climate change, then Fixing Climate: What Past Climate Changes Reveal About the Current Threat – And How to Counter It is a slow and gentle travelogue. Written by journalist Robert Kunzig and renowned Columbia University climate scientist Wallace Broecker, "Fixing Climate" is as much Broecker's scientific memoir as it is a call to action. (The biographical material isn't necessary to understanding global warming, but it's a wonderful look at a life in science nonetheless.)
The authors wend their way through a good deal of the history of climate-science research – a fair amount of it over the past five decades conducted by Broecker or his close associates – in a measured, graceful manner.
But in step with the intensification of global warming itself, the pace and urgency of "Fixing Climate" increases significantly toward the end.
In a chapter provocatively entitled "Green Is Not Enough," Broecker and Kunzig make a convincing case that all the energy efficiency and conservation in the world, all the biofuels and carbon trading and climate treaties we can come up with, are not going to be enough to avoid very serious climate-change impacts.
"If we are to avoid dangerously warming the planet," Broecker and Kunzig write, "we need to figure out how to build the equivalent of a sewage system for carbon dioxide."
Kunzig and Broecker spend their last several chapters discussing carbon sequestration – technology for removing CO2 from smokestacks, and from the atmosphere itself, and storing it out of harm's way, underground or in the deep sea.
No retreat from responsibility
However, "the most fundamental lesson to be drawn from the whole [global warming] episode, write Broecker and Kunzig, "is that we can no longer expect Mother Earth to take care of us – the planet is ours to run, and we can't retreat from our responsibility to run it wisely."
The precise mix of approaches used might differ somewhat between the two writing teams. But taken together, these two books move us from the debate as to whether we should take real action on global warming to a clear blueprint for doing so.

Politics & Government
Why criminal charges were brought against John Edwards remains unclear
More than two years of investigation and a six-week trial subjected the actions of presidential candidate John Edwards in 2007 and 2008 to unsparing scrutiny, revealing such intimate details as the likely conception date of his out-of-wedlock daughter and a hotel scene of his mistress in her nightie.
But one aspect of the case remains unexplained: Why was it brought as a long and costly criminal case rather than as a civil matter for the Federal Election Commission?
George Holding, the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina and now a Republican candidate for Congress, initiated the investigation more than three years ago. He acted after reports surfaced that Edwards had used money from two supporters to hide his pregnant mistress during his run for the 2008 Democratic nomination.
Near the end of the probe, the Edwards defense team and federal prosecutors discussed a plea deal that fell apart in the 11th hour. The government then had to choose between turning the case over to the FEC for a civil review, or proceed with a criminal prosecution. The latter was chosen.
The charges that followed in June 2011 were dramatic with the former U.S. senator and Democratic vice presidential nominee indicted on six crimes and facing possible prison time and several million dollars in fines. But the resolution of those stark charges ended in cloudy ambivalence.
A jury deliberated for nine days and could not agree on whether Edwards committed a crime. Jurors acquitted him on one count of campaign finance charges and deadlocked on the five other felony counts.
The government has yet to say whether it will retry a case that some attorneys speculate cost at least $2 million to put before a jury. But many observers, including several jurors, say the trial exposed weaknesses unlikely to be overcome a second time around.
Cindy Aquaro, a special education teacher from Winston-Salem who served on the jury, said she thought the questions might have been better weighed by federal elections officials, not 12 jurors confused by the judge's lengthy instructions. The jurors spent days in the Greensboro federal courthouse trying to determine whether any of the $900,000 from two wealthy donors could be considered a campaign donation.
There was one man on the jury who thought Edwards was guilty on every charge, Aquaro said, and others who thought he was not guilty of any charge and refused to change their opinions. Jurors said the majority favored acquittal on all counts.
Aquaro said she would not recommend retrying the case.
"Not if they're going to use the same evidence," she said.
Settling a score?
From the start there were allegations from the Edwards camp that he was a victim of political score settling. Holding, a Republican from Raleigh who announced his candidacy for a U.S. congressional seat from the 13th District just weeks after Edwards' indictment, rode herd over a case that ultimately was tried in a different district from his own.
Edwards' lawyers noted Holding's run for office in a 31-page memorandum in support of their September 2011 motion to dismiss the case. The memo also described Holding's role as a former staffer to Republican U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, his campaign contributions to the Republican senate incumbent Edwards defeated, Lauch Faircloth, and Holding's time as a law clerk to Judge Terrence Boyle, a federal district court judge in the Eastern district whose nomination to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals was blocked by Edwards.
"In this prosecution, a major figure in the Democratic Party had been brought down and, as it turns out, a Republican U.S. Attorney with political ambitions of his own has used this high-profile case to his personal benefit," the Edwards defense team said.
Holding has declined to comment on the Edwards case.
Defenders of the Edwards indictment note that it was approved by the U.S. Department of Justice during a Democratic administration. Edwards' attorneys said in court that the department had little choice but to approve what Holding initiated. They said top Obama administration officials would have been skewered as being partisan if they did not move forward with the case.
Holding's campaign did defend the cost of the prosecution in the May primary race when his GOP opponent, Wake County Commissioner Paul Coble, called Edwards' prosecution political. Holding has campaigned on his willingness to investigate alleged corruption by Edwards and another prominent North Carolina Democrat, former Gov. Mike Easley.
"I think there is no question that Holding thought those two cases would take him to Congress," Coble said.
At the time Holding's campaign strategist, Carter Wrenn issued a statement calling Coble's remarks "bizarre."
But now Holding's Democratic opponent in the 13th District is joining the debate.
"It seems like it was a stretch to convict him, as we see now," said Charles Malone. "I don't think it was the best use of taxpayer money."
'An aggressive theory'
Bruce Reinhart, a former federal prosecutor in southern Florida and a former trial attorney in the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Justice Department, said he did not think the government was necessarily wrong to seek the charges.
"That being said, I think there were a number of good reasons not to bring the case," Reinhart said.
The government used "an aggressive legal theory," he said, and "to push the envelope on something like this was a bit aggressive."
There were civil remedies available to test the case and punish the conduct just as publicly, he said.
Reinhart puts no stock in the allegations that the Edwards case was a politically motivated prosecution. He said cases of that ilk are thoroughly "scrubbed" for such abuse.
"I can tell you categorically that doesn't happen," Reinhart said.
Congressional investigations have found otherwise.
In April 2008, the House Judiciary Committee issued a report about the George W. Bush administration rewarding U.S. Attorneys willing to bring charges reflective of the administration's agenda.
The report, done by a bipartisan committee, found that some U.S. Attorneys between 2001 and 2007 were replaced because they failed to bring charges supporting a political agenda and others were retained because they did bring such charges.
Anna Mills Wagoner, the top prosecutor in the Middle District when the Edwards' investigation began, had been listed on early target lists of the Bush administration as a U.S. attorney who was insufficiently supportive of the Bush agenda, according to the memorandum filed by the Edwards defense team. The Edwards case was developed in Holding's district, then switched to the Middle District for trial.
The Obama administration allowed Holding to remain in his post three years after Obama took office at the request of Sen. Kay Hagan, a Democrat from Greensboro, and Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican from Winston-Salem. The senators used a special "blue-slip" process in 2009 urging Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. not to replace Holding while he was in the middle of investigations of two high-profile Democrats.

An injunction is a court order requiring a person to do or cease doing a specific action. Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions are temporary injunctions. They are issued early in a lawsuit to maintain the status quo by preventing a defendant from becoming insolvent or to stop the defendant from continuing his or her allegedly harmful actions. Choosing whether to grant temporary injunctive relief is a discretionary power of the court. Permanent injunctions are issued as a final judgment in a case. Failure to comply with an injunction may result in being held in contempt of court. See, e.g., Roe v. Wade 410 US 113 (1973).
injunctions: an overview
An injunction is a court order requiring an individual to do or omit doing a specific action. It is an extraordinary remedy that courts utilize in special cases where preservation of the status quo or taking some specific action is required in order to prevent possible injustice. Injunctive relief is a discretionary power of the court in which the court, upon deciding that the plaintiff's rights are being violated, balances the irreparablility of injuries and inadequacy of damages if an injunction were not granted against the damages that granting an injunction would cause.
An individual who has been given adequate notice of an injunction but fails to follow the court's orders may be punished for contempt of court.
An injunction is an equity remedy and as such is available only in cases of in-personam jurisdiction (not in in-rem proceedings). Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure explains what injuctions are and the rules regarding them. Basically, there are two types of injunctions: a preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order (TRO). The purpose of both is to maintain the status quo -- to insure a plaintiff that the defendant will not either make him or herself judgment-proof, or insolvent in some way, or to stop him or her from acting in the harmful, complained-of way until further judicial proceedings are available.
There is a balancing test that courts typically employ in determining whether to issue an injunction. The defendant's 5th Amendment due process rights are weighed (heavily) against the possibility of the defendant becoming judgment-proof, and the immediacy of the harm allegedly done to the plaintiff (i.e., how badly does the plaintiff need the injunction). When it is possible, the defendant must always be put on notice of the injunction hearing, and the duration of the injunction is typically as temporary as possible. Additionally, in many jurisdictions, plaintiffs demanding an injunction are required to post a bond.

Biddle new vice mayor; Haubert now on council
City Council member Don Biddle will serve as Dublin vice mayor for the next year.
The City Council last week selected Biddle for the position. He will preside over council meetings when Mayor Tim Sbranti is absent.
At the same Dec. 4 meeting, newly elected Councilman David Haubert was sworn into office for the first time. During the November election, Haubert won the council seat, and Kevin Hart won re-election. Sbranti had no opposition on the ballot for another term as mayor.
Last week was the last council meeting for Kasie Hildenbrand, who was termed out after serving twice.
