Eric Ward is the principal at West Mecklenburg High School. He says when he started his job, he thought students were getting cheated.
"We're always trying to build schools for students," Ward said. "But it's always the adults coming up with the ideas for the students."
So Ward wanted to hear from students and connect to them. His solution was to set up a West Mecklenburg HS Facebook group page. He did it and so far it has worked.
Here's how. At the beginning of the year, students could not use earplugs to hear their music. It started to become a distraction, so Ward went to the school's group page to ask for suggestions from students.
He got plenty of ideas. Here is the solution. Students can only use their earplugs while going from class to class and during lunch period. The principal says for the most part that problem disappeared.
"There is some struggle with some students," Ward said. "But the vast majority appreciate that, and the students will come up to you and say yeah I like the idea you're talking to us, you asking us what we want."
Another example is students have not been allowed to eat outside for a long time. Students made their request known through Facebook and now students can have lunch outside.
"The kids are seeing all the freedom that they can have," West Meck HS Senior Ashley Cuomo said. "So they are appreciating it and they don't want to go back to the restrictive movements we had last year."
Not all comments have been positive. One student commented that West Meck "sucks."
"I started to delete it," the principal said. "And saw the comments that came behind so I said let's let that ride."
Students wrote they loved West Meck and it appears the problem took care of itself.
Students say they love this new way of communication and think it's cool their voice is being heard.
"For many years," West Meck HS Senior Jen Dunggor said, "we felt like no one was listening to what we wanted, and finally here comes a principal who cares about our opinion and what we think."
The principal says he knows social media can be tricky - that's why he keeps a close eye on the page and has the authority to delete anything that shouldn't be there.
Ward says this experience has taught him listening to students can go a long way. He claims this site is helping the school both academically and in keeping the peace.
"They feel more pride and spirit for the school," Ward said. "And if other students are not doing what is acceptable by the masses, they will in turn check each other."

Dr. C. Kenneth Waters joins the Department of Philosophy effective June 1, 2014 as Professor and Tier I Canada Research Chair in Logic & Philosophy of Science. Waters comes from the University of Minnesota where he has also been the Director of the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science. Founded in 1953 by Herbert Feigl of the "Vienna Circle", MCPS has become an international centre of research, bringing together scholars from around the world for discussion and collaboration, the major results of which are published in Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of Science. Waters' arrival adds to an already strong philosophy of science component in our department and promises great things to come for philosophy of science at Calgary.
Dr. David Liebesman joins the Department July 1, 2014 as Assistant Professor of Philosophy & Linguistics. Since receiving his PhD in 2009 from Cornell University, Liebesman has been an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Boston University. His main interests are in philosophy of language and metaphysics. Liebesman is establishing a strong publishing record and has articles forthcoming in Analytic Philosophy, Mind, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, The Oxford Handbook of Reasons and Normativity (ed. Dan Star), and Quantifiers, Quantifiers, and Quantifiers (ed. Alessandro Torzo). His appointment here brings additional strength to already strong areas of research in our department.
Dr. Adrian Currie arrived in Calgary in July after receiving his doctorate from Australian National University to take up an appointment in our Department as one of the University of Calgary's Eyes High Postdoctoral Scholars. His research focuses on 'paleoepistemology': how historical scientists (palaeontologists, geologists, archaeologists, and so on) generate knowledge about the deep past, although he also dabbles in environmental philosophy, the philosophy of biology and issues of philosophical methodology. According to Adrian, he is keener to discuss metaphysics than you would expect.
The Calgary Summit of Philosophers of Science will be held at the University of Calgary September 26-27, 2014. The topic of The Summit will be future approaches for philosophy of biology. Six extensive discussions will start with talks by John Dupré, Philip Kitcher, Helen E. Longino, Elliott Sober, C. Kenneth Waters, and William Wimsatt and comments by John Beatty, Marc Ereshefsky, Carla Fehr, Lisa Gannett, Mohan Matthen, and Robert Wilson. The Summit will include a poster forum where Canadian students and postdoctoral fellows can present their research. All students, scholars, and scientists are welcome to attend. For more information about The Summit, and for those students and postdoctoral fellows interested in presenting their research at The Summit, please visit here.

How Do I Create And Publish My First Ruby Gem?
What's a Ruby Gem?
To solve various problems with Ruby, you might develop your own libraries. Also, you might want to open-source your libraries to get help from the Ruby community and have many developers working on the same.
A gem is a packaged Ruby application or library. RubyGems is the standard way to distribute Ruby applications and libraries and is available to you after you have downloaded and installed Ruby.
Let us create a simple Ruby library
Let's first create a simple, trivial gem which I shall call
Please refer to the note on "How to Name Gems"1. Observe that at the end of the gem name, I have added
smt which are my initials. We would want to name the Ruby gem this way, so that it is unique on RubyGems.org.
Our library will extend the
String class and we shall store this in a file called
my_string_extend_smt.rb in the folder
my_string_extend_smt/lib. The lib folder will contain the Ruby code related to the library, namely:
# my_string_extend_smt.rb class String def writesize self.size end end
The library opens up the
String class and adds a method
writesize (which returns the size of the string).
For open-source applications, the gem server to use for your applications is the one provided at https://rubygems.org/. This is where users will look, and is where gem will also look by default when you issue a
gem install command. Please make sure that the name of your gem isn't in use already. Type:
$ gem list -r my_string_extend_smt *** REMOTE GEMS ***
Observe that no gem of the name
my_string_extend_smt exists. We are safe! Now let us now turn our library into a gem, so that one can use it anywhere.
Steps for publishing our gem
1. Update to the latest RubyGem – In the folder
my_string_extend_smt open a command window and type:
$ gem update --system
2. Create an account on RubyGems.org – http://rubygems.org/sign_up and confirm your email. Later on, you'll need to provide your login credentials the first time you push a gem to the server.
3. Create a Gem Specification – In the folder
my_string_extend_smt copy the following file
my_string_extend_smt.gemspec and edit it as per your needs:
Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.name = "my_string_extend_smt" s.version = "0.0.1" s.summary = "String Extend" s.date = "2013-02-18" s.description = "The library opens up the String class and adds a method writesize, which returns the size of the string." s.authors = ["Satish Talim"] s.email = ["email@example.com"] s.homepage = "http://rubylearning.org/" s.files = ["lib/my_string_extend_smt.rb"] end
The gemspec defines what's in the gem, who made it, and the version of the gem. The gemspec is a chunk of Ruby code that the gem command will read and execute to understand our app, such as its name, files, and dependencies. It's also our interface to RubyGems.org, all the information you see on a gem page comes from the gemspec.
A gemspec consists of several attributes. Some of these are required; most of them are optional. The required attributes are: name, version, summary, require_paths (default = ["lib"]) and rubygems_version (do not set this; it is set automatically when the gem is packaged).
The details of the attributes used in our gemspec, is available here.
4. Once we have our gemspec, we have to build a gem from it. In the folder
my_string_extend_smt type:
$ gem build my_string_extend_smt.gemspec Successfully built RubyGem Name: my_string_extend_smt Version: 0.0.1 File: my_string_extend_smt-0.0.1.gem
We can then install it locally to test it out:
$ gem install my_string_extend_smt-0.0.1.gem Successfully installed my_string_extend_smt-0.0.1 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for my_string_extend_smt-0.0.1... Installing RDoc documentation for my_string_extend_smt-0.0.1...
Lets require our gem and use it:
$ irb --simple-prompt >> require 'my_string_extend_smt' => true >> puts "Hello".writesize 5 => nil >> quit
5. Now publish our gem out to RubyGems.org. In the folder
my_string_extend_smt type:
$ gem push my_string_extend_smt-0.0.1.gem Enter your RubyGems.org credentials. Don't have an account yet? Create one at http://rubygems.org/sign_up Email: email@example.com Password: Pushing gem to https://rubygems.org... Signed in. Pushing gem to https://rubygems.org... Successfully registered gem: my_string_extend_smt (0.0.1)
In just a few moments (usually a minute), your gem will be available for installation by anyone:
$ gem list -r my_string_extend_smt *** REMOTE GEMS *** my_string_extend_smt (0.0.1)
Here's our Ruby gem on the RubyGems.org site
Deleting your gem at Rubygems.org
Since our gem is for demonstration purposes only, I would like to delete my gem from RubyGems.org's index. To remove your gem please use the following reference. I removed an old gem of mine
my_string_extend of version 0.0.1 as follows:
I installed
gemcutter only once by typing:
$ gem install gemcutter
I then removed my old gem by typing:
$ gem yank my_string_extend -v 0.0.1 Yanking gem from RubyGems.org... Pushing gem to https://rubygems.org... Successfully yanked gem: my_string_extend (0.0.1)
However, the gem is still available for download for two main reasons:
- Other gems may have been pushed that depend on your gem.
- A mass deletion of important community based gems can be easily prevented.
That's it.

Good write-up. I'd like to point out that if you want to auto-generate, essentially, the same skeleton as constructed by hand above, don't forget that the Bundler gem gives this to you by simply typing:
bundle gem (name of your gem)
Even better, Bundler then gives you the following Rake tasks for managing your gem:
rake build # Build -.gem into the pkg directory
rake install # Build and install -.gem into system gems
rake release # Create tag v0.1.1 and build and push -.gem to Rubygems
Lastly, if you want to capitalize on Bundler and build more complex gems (using the Bundler philosophy), my Gemsmith gem builder might be of interest (https://github.com/bkuhlmann/gemsmith).
Anyway, food for thought.
- October 27, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Nicely written article
I second what Brooke said, Bundler is really nice for generating a nice clean layout for a gem.
- October 28, 2011 at 8:43 am
Bundler does a good job, as well as Jeweller and Gemcutter.
It is good to know how to do so without the crutches though, so that if something does go wrong you can understand it. And also notice and appreciate the time saved and convenience of Bundler, or Jeweller or Gemcutter (or any other tool).
- October 28, 2011 at 10:25 am
Very useful article.
It gives me a clear idea on how to create gems, where to submit and hot to make it use of
Thanks for this nicely written one.
- October 31, 2011 at 5:53 am
This is a great post. Bookmarking for future reference. I had no idea it was quite so easy to share my libraries!
- February 3, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Hi Satish Talim,
This is great post and i usually read your blog that all nice. after read this post i created one normal "hello world"gem but now i want to expand the functionality of my gem like i want to add application it's having controller model and view. so please help me satish how can i do.
thnaks in advance.

I am able to unpack the gem 'herubyracer-0.10.1.gem' using this command
gem unpack therubyracer-0.10.1.gem
I am getting therubyracer-0.10.1 folder
The folder inside (Changelog.md Gemfile README.md Rakefile bin/ ext/ lib/ spec/ specmem/ specthread/ therubyracer.gemspec) file is there.
and I have copied the v8.so file to /lib to lib/v8/ directory
next I have build the gem using
gem build therubyracer.gemspec
The gem is build, getting (therubyracer-0.10.1.gem)
I have unpack the gem (therubyracer-0.10.1.gem) only ext and lib folder are there, there is no bin and other folders.
Please let me know, how can i make the gem included (I have copied the v8.so file to /lib other directory) change.
Thanks for advance.
- January 28, 2014 at 8:24 pm
Hi Satish,
It was a great post! I was wondering, do we have to create the root folder which wraps the /lib folder and other folders inside it?
I am little bit confused about it.
- May 13, 2014 at 12:35 pm
Its a great idea and you have written up well learn easily. I'm publishing my first gem soon.
- June 20, 2014 at 4:47 pm
The more gems, the merrier! This one is also a useful step-by-step tutorial https://netguru.co/blog/posts/creating-a-gem-a-step-by-step-tutorial (with the little help from bundler magic)

14 U.S. Code § 190 - Retirement of permanent commissioned teaching staff
Professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and instructors in the Coast Guard shall be subject to retirement or discharge from active service for any cause on the same basis as other commissioned officers of the Coast Guard, except that they shall not be required to retire from active service under the provisions of section 288 of this title, nor shall they be subject to the provisions of section 289 of this title, nor shall they be required to retire at age sixty-two but may be permitted to serve until age sixty-four at which time unless earlier retired or separated they shall be retired. The Secretary may retire any member of the permanent commissioned teaching staff who has completed thirty years' active service. Service as a civilian member of the teaching staff at the Academy in addition to creditable service authorized by any other law in any of the military services rendered prior to an appointment as a professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor shall be credited in computing length of service for retirement purposes. The provisions of law relating to retirement for disability in line of duty shall not apply in the case of a professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor serving under a temporary appointment.
Source(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 509; Pub. L. 86–474, § 1(13),May 14, 1960, 74 Stat. 145; Pub. L. 88–130, § 1(8),Sept. 24, 1963, 77 Stat. 175; Pub. L. 89–444, § 1(10),June 9, 1966, 80 Stat. 196; Pub. L. 91–278, § 1(5),June 12, 1970, 84 Stat. 304.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 15f (Apr. 16, 1937, ch. 107, § 5,50 Stat. 67).
The provision prohibiting the retirement of a professor because of physical disability with less than 15 years' service is changed to have application only during the temporary appointment of a professor.
This section provides for the retirement of associate professors, assistant professors, and commissioned instructors in addition to professors. It is believed that the provision of existing law requiring 15 years' service before becoming eligible for retirement, discriminated against this group of officers as no other group was discriminated against, and should be eliminated. It was changed so that these officers would be ineligible for retirement during their probationary term only.
Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.
1970—Pub. L. 91–278permitted permanent teachers to retire at sixty-four rather than at sixty-two unless earlier retired or separated.
1966—Pub. L. 89–444authorized the Secretary to retire any member of the permanent commissioned teaching staff who has completed thirty years' active service.
1963—Pub. L. 88–130inserted "or discharge", excepted staff members from retirement from active service under section 288 of this title, and from the provisions of section 289 of this title, and struck out "permanent" before "commissioned officers".
1960—Pub. L. 86–474substituted "civilian member of the teaching staff" for "civilian instructor or civilian librarian", and struck out "commissioned" in three places before "instructors" and "instructor", respectively.
The table below lists the classification updates, since Jan. 3, 2012, for this section. Updates to a broader range of sections may be found at the update page for containing chapter, title, etc.
The most recent Classification Table update that we have noticed was Tuesday, August 13, 2013
An empty table indicates that we see no relevant changes listed in the classification tables. If you suspect that our system may be missing something, please double-check with the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran's new president says his country is ready to negotiate over its disputed nuclear activities and has "nothing to hide."
President Hasan Rouhani spoke Wednesday to editors in New York, a day before Iran and six world powers are to discuss the nuclear program at a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
But Rouhani said Iran must be careful in starting a new relationship with the U.S. after three decades of frozen ties.
Still, he said he has no problem shaking hands with President Barack Obama. There had been some speculation the two leaders might meet briefly at the U.N. on Tuesday and even shake hands, but it did not happen.

MANDERLEY ON FIRE: The annals of New York theatre history have plenty of chapters devoted to outrageous backstage chicanery. But it would be hard to beat the incredible, surreal yarn that brought down the Broadway-hopeful Rebecca. It was a tale of fraud, death and mystery investors. A hard-luck project from the very day it was announced as a Broadway prospect a few years ago, Rebecca's future was never assured. It was on, it was off; the money was there, the money wasn't; the marquee was up, the marquee came down; it was due for this season, it was coming next season. Finally, on Sept. 30, producer Ben Sprecher announced the show would not open this fall as scheduled; the capitalization had failed to materialize. In early August, the press was told that one Paul Abrams — a South African businessman and a major investor who, with three other colleagues, was supposed to cough up $4.5 million of the show's $12 budget — had suddenly died. In London. From malaria. (Ahem.) Soon enough, the bloodhounds of Broadway began looking into this Abrams, but they could find no trace of him, no death notice, nothing. Sprecher admitted he had never met the man, but had been connected to him by a middle party. The press found this middleman. He was Mark C. Hotton, a Long Island businessman who been previously sued for fraud in federal court in New York and Florida, and been accused of running a Ponzi scheme. Now the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI were interested, and charged Hotton with defrauding the producers. Hotton was arrested Oct. 15. Producers of Rebecca said they are planning to file a $100 million lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court against Hotton, charging he took tens of thousands of dollars in advances on commissions for bringing in non-existent backers. It may be the only way that Sprecher & Co. will ever make money off the show. (At last word, Sprecher was still seeking a future commercial production for the pop musical based on the 1938 Daphne du Maurier novel. And why not? Much of the set is built.)

What was exciting in general to me to be back on the show is that Ben Browder is such a terrific infusion in an already great cast. He`s very cool. They let me watch a rough cut of their season opener. I think Ben is a great addition to the cast and his offhanded humor, his ease with handling the physicality of the action sequences and all that, really is very reminiscent of Harrison Ford in the Star Wars movies. He`s really, I think, going to be a boost to a show that is already a success.
On how the success of "Stargate SG-1" (1997) has surpassed that of "Star Trek" in recent years: "I am always amazed when I travel abroad that Stargate has become huge. It`s huge in Britain. It`s far eclipsed Star Trek. It`s now huge in Germany. I understand they`re making big inroads in other countries."
Prosthetic make-up is very constricting to wear. The actors who are most successful in it are willing to be very expressive to make the make-up look real and move real. Working in make-up is more emotional acting than regular acting, like you`re singing an aria; you let it invade your whole body.
His thoughts on Star Trek: "I came to the Star Trek franchise a little late. I got into it, I married a woman who`s a big Star Trek fan, so, even though I was not into it when I was a kid, in order to court my wife I had to go to Star Trek movies. You know, I think she had a thing for Captain Kirk, right when she was hitting puberty -- which is really when they get you! And, uh, I really grew to understand and appreciate the quality of Star Trek storytelling. And then, when I joined the Voyager franchise, and really became knowledgeable about Star Trek -- and watched more and more of the other shows, that preceded us -- I think that I became a Star Trek fan in my own right, as well as a Star Trek actor." (5-4-2006)
If Picard can baldly go, why not Picardo?
I`m an outsider who hasn`t seen the show from the beginning but watches it sporadically -- although not only when I`m on it. When I was up there (in Vancouver, B.C., where the show is filmed) I was so enthusiastic that I think I watched about seven or eight new shows . I watched two or three from the last season and the two part opener, uncut. I`m very optimistic for their new season and new cast members.
I am always amazed when I travel abroad that Stargate has become huge. (It`s) huge in Britain. It`s far eclipsed Star Trek . It`s now huge in Germany. I understand they`re making big inroads in other countries.

TransCanada: Politics, pipelines and profits
The company is on track for growth -- with or without approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.
TransCanada Corp. (TRP) has underperformed every other North American pipeline company since early November 2011.
That's when the Obama administration officially put the company's Keystone XL project on hold. Despite this move, we view the stock as a core holding in our model growth portfolio.
The $7.6 billion extension to the existing Keystone Pipeline System would be an expressway for Canada's immense tar sands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.
It enjoys strong support from Republicans, as well as labor unions, but it's bitterly opposed by the environmental lobby. The president has avoided choosing between these key constituencies until after the Nov. 6 elections.
Ironically, TransCanada is on track for strong growth with or without Keystone XL. Fourth-quarter earnings surged 35.9% on a 15% boost in sales, fueled by roughly $10 billion in energy midstream assets placed into service since mid-2010.
Management anticipates bringing another $12 billion worth of assets into service by early 2015, including the restart of the Bruce Power nuclear plant in Ontario, extensions/expansions of its Alberta pipeline system and massive wind and solar projects that will sell power under lucrative contracts.
Building Keystone XL would be a major upside catalyst for TransCanada's earnings, dividends and share price. But even without it, the company will have no problem matching its recent 5% dividend increase.
The Bruce Plant, for example, is on budget and will generate up to 25% of Ontario's electricity under a long-term contract, starting in the second half of 2012.
During the company's fourth-quarter conference call CEO Russell Girling cited more than $50 billion in potential future energy infrastructure projects.
This is nearly twice the company's current market capitalization and will fire up low-risk growth to the end of the decade and beyond. Buy and lock this one away up to $45.

I feel like I'm living in A Tale of Two Cities. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I live on the Upper West Side and was not affected at all by Hurricane Sandy. Yet, there are so many areas nearby that were devastated. It's so eerie to be in a city where a few miles means the difference between keeping the status quo or the complete loss of electricity and possessions. James, Juli and I are taking a cue from Jen Cody and Hunter Foster who have been going out to Staten Island and helping out every day. We're going to haul ourselves over there on Election Day since Juli's off from school and it will be a welcome distraction from the stress of the election.
There are so many ways to help if you want! For instance, some great people from In the Heights started their own relief group for specific folks they know that were hit hard by the storm. You can donate here.
Just on a side note, please don't be impressed that I quoted A Tale of Two Cities. It's one of the three assigned reading books I actually read in high school. I love reading so much, and I read constantly, but all the books assigned in school were always snoozefests. However, I lo-o-o-o-oved A Tale of Two Cities. Such a great plot and amazing ending! All of the other assigned books I "read" by using the Cliff Notes (officially called "Cliffs Notes," my editor admonishes, but no one ever used the plural). If you don't know, they were small booklets that give you a synopsis of the plot plus lots of info to talk about in class. As a matter of fact, Cliff Notes helped solidify my hate-filled relationship with my AP English teacher: When I went in for my private meeting with her to discuss my first term paper (on The Three Sisters by Chekhov), every plot point she brought up was met with a blank face by me (I had just bought the Cliff Notes but hadn't gotten around to reading them yet). On the way out of the meeting, my Cliff Notes literally fell out of my notebook and landed at her feet. Suffice it to say, from then on our relationship consisted of moments such as her wagging her finger at me and intoning, "They warned me not to put you in this class!," and me responding, casually, "Well, now you've learned your lesson." Hence my college major: Piano performance. (By the way, Cliffs Notes are now online! Easy access to academic cheating! Visit cliffsnotes.com.)
This week I did an Election Day special edition of "Seth Speaks" on SiriusXM with Lizz Winstead who co-created "The Daily Show." First the name. I busted her on the idiotic spelling and she told me it was because of her sorority in college. There were five Lizzes (!) so each one had to be different. Since there was already a Liz W she became Lizz with two Z's. (The sequel to Liza with a Z?) Lizz started out as a stand-up but didn't get political 'til the early '90s. She actually remembers the exact moment when it happened. Lizz told me that she was on a blind date with guy, and she immediately knew that he was a moron because when she suggested they see a movie at the Film Forum he asked, sounding devastated, "Isn't that in black and white?" Despite her misgivings, they saw the film but she passively/aggressively got back at him by eating popcorn and then, with her greasy fingers, touching the sleeve of his satin Yankees jacket. Because she felt guilty about that, she agreed to go with him to a bar after the film. When they walked in, the TV was tuned to the news. The Gulf War had just begun and she remembers that the screen was full of graphics, green lights and people standing on roofs reporting on the war. She felt the war wasn't being reported, it was being sold. Her date stared at the footage and said, "This is awesome!" She thought, "If he's watching and thinking that, how many other people are?" She then decided she wanted to focus on how the media gets news to us and it became part of her act. She worked for a little on Jon Stewart's talk show, and after it was cancelled, she was brought into Comedy Central to help think of a new one for him. The idea of a show about the news came up and she told them that it should be like an actual news show: theme music, graphics, fake correspondents, field reporters, etc. Comedy Central agreed, and Lizz said they were able to hire people who had worked for years on actual TV news show so they knew exactly how to do it to make it look real — how to light it, what kind of music to play. It was so interesting for me to hear about the formation of the show because when I see a finished product that's great (like a brilliant Broadway musical), a part of me thinks that's the only way it could have been. I forget about the years of workshopping and non-stop making changes during previews, etc.

Game Six [Red]
The immortal words of Jack Buck still ring throughout the enclosed stadium nearly two decades after the fact, echoing the phrase "And we'll see you...tomorrow night!" Twenty years ago, the most iconic baseball figure in the Upper Midwest redirected a Charlie Leibrandt pitch into the madness that was the awaiting arms of fans in the Metrodome, sending the fan base into sheer ecstasy, and pushing the 1991 series into a deciding Game Seven. To commemorate the perhaps one of the greatest World Series moments in Minnesota history, DiamondCentric proudly presents the "Game Six".

Everyone better take a little time to cool off...
This episode is not currently available for download or purchase. Please contact us to request that this episode be posted.
What a strange, confusing, and occasionally wonderful movie this was...
"This script is terrible and only the guy who co-wrote 'Predators' can fix it". Something I never thought would be said but apparently someone at Paramount uttered those fateful words because Michael Finch has been picked up to re-write the script for "Hellified", a new film about a group of criminals sent to Hell to stop the end of the world. He's kind of like a superman for movie scripts you aren't going to like.
John C. Reilly can do no wrong in my eyes. Alright I'll admit I never saw that movie where he plays a vampire who runs a carnival, or something like that, but everything I've seen him in has been pure gold. So I'm excited for "Life After Beth", a new zombie comedy flick he's going to star in along with Aubrey Plaza, the depressing girl from "Parks and Recreation". The film is based off of a UK short and will be 100 times better because Reilly is American and we don't drink tea.
According to James Franco himself he probably won't have a role in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" after some shifts at Fox's big boy table. Nothings confirmed but Franco had apparently had a small role in the sequel but is now fairly sure the part has been cut. He then went on to say nobody calls him anymore and he's so lonely. He then sobbed uncontrollably for 45 minutes.
I don't know where the hell this came from but "The American Scream" is now available on DVD and it sounds pretty awesome. The documentary follows 3 different families as they transform their homes into spooky time attractions for the Halloween season. Sounds like a dandy Christmas gift for that special someone on your list. Wait, next week is Christmas? Where the hell have I been!?
And Edward Furlong's 6 year old son has tested positive for cocaine and been taken out of his custody. And at the last second for the father of the year awards.
Chicago! My new home. Land of the deep dish pizza and giant hot dog. Also land of this woman who ran over her boyfriend with her car and then lit his testicles on fire. I've made a terrible mistake.
Prepare to add the phrase "Brian Cox's Monkey Jail" to your vocabulary...
James Franco and Winona Ryder have signed on to star in "The Stare". In the flick Ryder will take on the role of a playwright who decide if the world is out to get her or if she's just cracking under the pressure of completing her next project. Franco will of course play a lovable stoner. Alright I don't know if that second part is true but come on, you have to assume that's what he'll be doing even if that really isn't his role.
I do believe I just found the topic for our next open week in the Podcast schedule. Rob Zombie has wrapped on a shoot in Vancouver for a commercial titled "The Torturer" for the laundry detergent brand Woolite. Weird to see a horror director taking on a commercial yes but throw in the fact that Zombie looks like a homeless man and the fact that it's for laundry detergent is enough to make blood run out of your nose. I'm sorry for doing that to you.
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" finally has a director my friends and it's none other than Craig Gillespie who is currently working on the "Fright Night" remake. He also directed "Mr. Woodcock" which wasn't a very good movie but it made me giggle every time I heard the name Woodcock so that's got to count for something. Teehee... Woodcock.
"Let Me In" director Matt Reeves has decided to return to the vampire genre by signing on to direct "The Passage". Based on a book by Justin Cronin the story focuses on a group of terminally ill patients who find they can be saved by being bitten by a rare bat. But wait! There's some nasty side effects. Here's a hint, they kill people.
If you're a 48 year old man from Florida being accused of child abuse there's not many excuses you can use to get out of the charges. Of course you could always try the excuse that the kids are just jealous of your roller skating abilities and making the whole thing up. That won't work either but man it's pretty funny.
Wait this is illegal? Two Texas High School students are facing charges after decapitating baby chickens in the hopes of breaking their baseball teams losing streak. I originally wrote that they decapitated a bunch of chick's heads but that sounds a lot worse if you read it wrong. Or a lot better if you have trouble getting dates. I don't judge.
This isn't a trailer for the "Mother's Day" remake but it is some sort of international sales promo that's found it's way online. Truth be told I've read the synopsis and watched the video and I'm still not 100% sure what the movie is about but it still looks pretty dandy. I assume it takes place on mothers day, right? Someone? I'm so confused and frightened.
"Gut" is a indie movie about two guys who end up watching some sort of awful movie based on one of the guy's suggestions and things get weird. They don't tell you what the movie is but my guess is it's some sort of snuff, autopsy or French film. Feel free to make your own guesses.
James Franco is set to direct and star in a new film about the real life slasher Richard Ramirez, better know as "The Night Stalker". Here's the fun part, Soundgarden front man Chris Cornell is also set to produce the film. Just tossing this out there, but what about getting that guy from Crazytown to compose the score?
If you had to put together the greatest cast of all time who would you pick? Don't bother thinking about it because the makers of "The Bleeding" have already done it. The answer? Vinnie Jones, Michael Matthias, Michael Madsen, DMX, Armand Assante and Kat Von D. Take a few minutes to compose yourself before checking out the clip because you might vomit from excitement.
This is why the Druids invented cell phones with video cameras. The Boston Blazer's which are some sort of local team that play some sport are in trouble after their halftime show features three women dressed in next to nothing gave their mascot lap dances. The only disappointing part? The team apologized for the good time after the show. Boo Boston!
When a mother and daughter take out time to do things together it's a wonderful thing. That is of course unless that mother and daughter are torturing animals and keeping the corpses in their house like this duo on Long Island. Just to confirm that isn't a wonderful thing at all, unless you're some kind of sicko, then it's probably right up your alley.
John Lithgow will be monkeying around soon as he joins the cast of "Rise of the Apes", Fox's prequel to their "Planet of the Apes" franchise starring James Franco.
Moonstone Entertainment has finally released plot details for their planned reboot "The Howling Reborn". The real question remains; will Moonstone ever get this movie off the ground?

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) -- Cape Verde reached the African Cup of Nations quarterfinals in its first appearance at a major tournament, rallying to defeat Angola 2-1 Sunday night on Heldon Ramos' goal in second-half injury time.
Angola went ahead in the 33rd minute on an own goal by Cape Verde captain Fernando Neves, but Fernando Varela tied the score with a header in the 82nd.
Host South Africa advanced when it came from behind twice to tie Morocco 2-2 at Durban.
Morocco went ahead on goals by Issam Adoua in the 10th and Abdelilah Elhafid in the 82nd, but Bafana Bafana got goals from May Mahlangu in the 71st and Tukelo Rangies in the 86th.
South Africa (1-0-2) won Group A with five points on goal difference over Cape Verde (1-0-2). Morocco (0-0-3), which would have advanced if Ramos had not scored, finished third, followed by Angola (0-2-1).

This beyond-cutie from Zanesville, OH turned 19 today and sent me an e-mail just this morning claiming she's a new face. I must agree! She caught my attention immediately and within minutes I was demanding more images. She brings a lot to the table: she spent time at the Air Force Academy, is going after a degree in psychology and astronautical engineering and, of course, wants to model full time. I'd say her chances are sky high. Celebrate her 19th anniversary on earth by sampling the photos below. Happy birthday, Brit!

It would be huge for Tempe. Tempe could be the potential sight of a 10 and a half acre, $350 million dollar development. The jewel in all this -- the USA Basketball Headquarters -- that's the group associated with the Olympic Games.
The USA Basketball's Board of Directors approved this parking lot on the southeast corner of Mill Avenue and University to be its new home for its headquarters and training center.
"I think it's another great entertainment sports venue that we are known for down her," says Nancy Hormann, downtown Tempe resident.
It seems like a slam dunk, considering the chairman for USA Basketball is Jerry Colangelo, a man pretty familiar with the valley and its potential.
Considering he's responsible for the success of the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center, he was also instrumental in making the Arizona Diamondbacks a reality.
If Colangelo can work his magic again, and both the city and ASU's Board of Regents approves, he could do for Tempe what he did for Phoenix because the complex would be so much more than just a sports facility.
"It's a conference hotel as long as well as USA place, and that conference hotel is a huge shot in the arm for downtown Tempe because we need larger ballroom space and more places for conferences."
Picture this parking lot filled with a 4,500 seat arena, 330 room omni-hotel, luxury apartments, along with office space and retail space.
"I think it's great I think a lot of things in Tempe are up and coming, I think more jobs are coming here," says student Bill Schaffer.
But not everyone sees a gold mine in this empty parking lot.
"As far as like for the success of the city maybe, I don't know. As for students, because there's not that much parking. It just seems like a lot of money which might not reap the same rewards that they're intending," says student Sarah Stradling.
If approved, construction would start later this year and be completed in 2015.

Etnies x Ryan Sheckler 'Marana' Sneaker
We've certainly seen our fair share of skateboarder-turned-shoe designer projects over the years, but we haven't been nearly as excited about any of them as we are about the latest partnership between Etnies and California skate sensation Ryan Scheckler. Giving the rider free reign over its new 'Marana' silhouette, Sheckler has outfitted the sneaker with a bold, all-over red colorway and Pro 1 footbed stamped with his very own "RS" logo. Watch the video below to hear Sheckler talk about the sneaker and click here to buy it.

Dinner Dress c. 1883
Designer: Charles- Frederick Worth
Brand: Worth
Material: Wine-red silk satin cut velvet with stripes and leaf pattern; figured additional cut velvet layer on leaf pattern; set of bodice and skirt with bustle; tulle and silk satin bows at cuffs; apron-shaped overskirt draped toward back.
This dress of silk satin and cut velvet stripes is scattered with a roseleaf motif of cut and uncut velvet, causing shading of the motif. These beautiful materials, with a woven thickness created using complex techniques, show the high quality of Lyon silk textile. The overskirt, draped and gathered into an apron style, and the train greatly contribute to the dignified production of this bustle style dress. Charles-Frederick Worth (1825–1895) employed Lyon silks abundantly. These silk textiles, used without a hint of frugality in the voluminous dresses in that time, were spread through the whole world as brand-new fashion. Lyon outstripped other production areas in terms of technology and craftsmanship, became firmly established as the source of the fabric used in the Paris Haute Couture. KCI

If you take the direct route from Mexico City to Veracruz – the excellent Hwy-150 – you'll bypass every major town en route; if you're driving yourself, note that the tolls along this stretch of road are extremely high (over M$450). For those pressed for time, the fast highway is a blessing – Veracruz and the coast are very much the outstanding attractions – but the cities in the mountains merit a stop if you have the time. Regardless of how fast you go or what form of transport you take, the journey over the Sierra Madre Oriental is one of the most beautiful in Mexico: as Ixtaccíhuatl gradually disappears behind you, the snow on the Pico de Orizaba comes into view, and the plains of corn and maguey in the west are supplanted on the eastern slopes by woods of pine and cypress, and by green fields dotted with contented cows out to pasture.
It's worth noting, however, that this is the rainiest area of the country, and while the damp brings bounties in terms of great coffee and a luxuriance of flowers, downpours can become a problem. Particularly irritating – especially in October and November – is what the locals call chipichipi, a persistent fine drizzle caused by warm airstreams from the Gulf hitting cooler air as they reach the eastern face of the sierra. Drivers should also watch out for the fog that frequently cloaks the higher sections of this road.Read More
Midway between Puebla and Veracruz, ORIZABA is an industrial city and a major brewing centre: the giant Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma produces some of the best beer in the republic, including globally famous brands Sol and Dos Equis – ask at the tourist office for details of tours. Despite the industry, the historic centre remains compact and attractive; because the old city was built up against a hill, development has spread in one direction only, so the centro histórico is right on the edge of town, with more modern development sprawling to the east and south. The Parque Castillo, with the imposing Catedral de San Miguel at Colón and Madero, marks the centre of the old town. There's not a great deal to see, but Orizaba makes an enjoyable short break or overnight stop.
CÓRDOBA is a busy modern city at the centre of the area's coffee trade, built around an attractive colonial centre. Founded in 1618 by thirty Spanish families – and so also known as the "City of the Thirty Knights" – its main claim to fame is that in 1821 the last Spanish viceroy, Juan O'Donoju, signed the Treaty of Córdoba with General Iturbide here, formally giving Mexico independence.
Plaza 21 de Mayo
There's not a great deal specifically to seek out in Córdoba, where the animated zócalo, surrounded by arcaded portales, is the main focus. The signing of the Treaty of Córdoba took place in the Palacio de los Condes de Zevallos, now known as the Portal de Zevallos, on the Plaza 21 de Mayo; these days it's given over to handicraft shops and cafés, where you can sit and sample Córdoban coffee or julep, a rum and mint cocktail. The twin-towered Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción, facing the Palacio Municipal across the plaza, is one of the most richly adorned religious buildings in the state – started in 1621, it contains a revered image of the Virgin Mary to the right of the altar.
Museo de la Ciudad
The exhibits in the Museo de la Ciudad (labelled in Spanish only) encompass some thirty centuries of local history, from Olmec and Totonac ceramics and sculpture, through Independence, to mementos of the Mexico '68 Olympics. They occupy a beautiful colonial building with gorgeous mountain views from its upper storey.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These are great little place cards - perfect size and the designer was great. I'm looking forward to adding everyone's names!"
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"
"This is such a beautiful design! The paper is very sturdy and stands up well on its own, and both the color of the paper itself and the color of the leaves in the design are rich and very pretty. I requested for the designer to slightly change the format of the placecard (we are writing names instead of table numbers on them) and they did exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!"
"These place cards are PERFECT and 100% what I was looking for! They look amazing in person and I was able to pick three colors of the star fish for our three different dinner options. The best part was the customer service that I received when ordering. The process was easy and stress-free. THANK YOU!"
"I love that the theme is so well represented on all the pieces of the suites. The tree tale is gorgeous. It is even more beautiful in person."

Keeping the Faith
The Gospel according to Nick's
Ronnie McBrayer is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

Post a comment
Just down the road from my house is a restaurant and gathering place called Nick's. Nick's is a legendary seafood joint frequented by tourists and locals alike, by fishermen, national figures, and the occasional celebrity.
Aesthetically, and I say this with affection, Nick's is not much to look at. The building is constructed from whitewashed, concrete blocks, now decades old. The parking lot is often flooded with rainwater, and chickens roam about in the yard. The ceiling is too low for my liking, and the view of the surrounding bayou is obscured by windows a touch too dark.
So if you were driving by, uninformed and uninitiated, regarding this establishment, you might think Nick's to be some notorious hole-in-the-wall dive, and keep driving. That would be your incalculable loss.
For three generations, the Nick family has been serving glorious local seafood, shucking the best Gulf Coast oysters, and slinging the coldest brew around. Trey and Jennifer Nick, the restaurateurs who now operate this roadside oasis, keep the parking lot flooded all right, flooded with cars. People just can't stay away.
This has a lot to do with the food, of course, but that's not the main draw. The Nicks know how to make you feel welcome. They make you feel at home. And what the atmosphere lacks visually, it more than makes up for with sincere friendship.
Now, this doesn't mean I like everything on the menu, the low ceiling, or all of the Auburn University apparatus hanging on the walls. But I love being there, and judging by the time it takes to get a table, I'm not the only one.
The church could learn a few things from the Nick family. Their success is not the result of clever marketing, pumping thousands of dollars into publicity campaigns, or arguing that their food is better than some competitor down the street.
No, the Gospel according to Nick's is quite simple: welcome people as friends, surround them with love, and then send them home satisfied, with joy in their heart and a good word to share on their lips.
In this day when "image is everything," it's easy for the church to cave in to prevailing corporate wisdom -- "We need focus groups, brand management, facilities designed by customer relation firms, state of the art technology, and flawless delivery of religious goods to our clients."
I have no argument against some of these things. I like technology, beautifully built buildings, the smell of new paint, and parking lots that don't flood.
But like many folks, I would rather wade across a river in hip-boots to be with people who care about me -- to be in that place "where everybody knows your name," than to be treated like just another consumer through the turnstiles.
David Di Sabatino, former editor of Worship Leader Magazine, said this, "Silence every radio and television preacher, stop every evangelical book or tract from being published, take down every evangelical website from the Net. We would be better off."
David, a committed Christian, was not denying the need or benefit of some (but certainly not all) of this promotional paraphernalia. His intention, and his bold words, were meant to be a counterweight -- a necessary counterweight, to so many faith communities obsessed with the mega-merchandising of their image.
Di Sabatino's solution is modest, but powerful: "Simply ask Christians to show one tangible expression of Jesus' love to another person every day." Let's face it, elegant buildings, comfortable parking lots, expertly executed marketing plans, Disney-ready children's programs, and stage-practiced Sunday services will draw a crowd. But for all their ingenuity, these things may not build relationships, foster discipleship in the way of Christ, or sustain community.
The only way people are going to care about anything we have to say will be when they know we care about them as unique, distinct individuals, and not as a means to padding our pews and our coffers. The Nicks are right. Treat people like family. Feed them well. And send them on their way with joy.
