I think Kanye is going to perform. If so I might just die :D
you really meant you were tired of my shit and have moved on but don't know how to exactly say that without hurting my feelings.
Well then if I am right thank you for caring about my feelings.
Don't matter because I am still hurt.
I feel like throwing up "/
and how the last episode of Hannah made me cry too. You know when she revealed herself.
It's like Hannah and me are the same age and she's all grown up now.
And its crazy how the ending of a show can be the ending of a childhood.
I have always secretly loved Miley btw
but there's a little part of me thats still in love with you.

I met a boy.
And he's really nice.
But there's a problem.
He's a boy, and yeah that.

If you have to thank me for your sanity I must thank you for mine. Because I don't know what I'd be doing right now. Probably sitting out in the rain and wallow like I want to. If I wasn't talking to you right now I would've done some stupid shit.
She is the best person on tumblr. Just putting out there, she doesn't know it but she's going to be blessed 10 fold. Because she is so caring. I love her and I barely know her.
You are honestly amazing.
Because even with the troubles you're facing, you still offering help to others.
And just for that you are a real friend, because while all my other friends turned away you stood up.
Tell me who you are. I won't post it
Because I need a friend.
A real friend.
But will do shit a best friend just doesn't do.
She crosses the line way too much and I'm tired of it.
That's why I don't care about transferring anymore.
I'm good with no friends.
I have a massive migraine and I feel so sick. And I want to cry I can't even focus on anything.
I'm going to take my Nyquil and knock the fuck out.
And I don't think I'm coming back Tumblr, at least not for a long time.
Goodbye Tumblr.
Before I snap this laptop in Half.
I hate math :(
I am transferring back to the city next year.

No matter how much this hurts.
And no matter how hard I'm trying to forget.

1D fans deny breakup rumors
One Direction fans are extreme, when it comes to loyalty and pure support. Even though several major news sources on Tuesday have reported that Liam Payne broke up with his longtime girlfriend Danielle Peazer, the fans are sure it is not true. Of course why should they believe unnamed sources and people speaking up without the courage to attach their name?
The Daily Mail published their report with some great photos, but none of the photos convinced fans of a breakup. Sadly, The Daily Mail report did not contain any official statements to back up the unnamed source's claims.
One of our favorite fans posted sentiments that resonated with our thoughts upon reading the news: Haley_Styles "I'll believe it when Liam or Dani tweets it k?"
I, honestly, don't even know what to believe. I think, all we can do is wait and see <3

Customer services (Photo credit: gordon2208)
New research from American Express demonstrates the growing importance of social media to customer service. The US survey found that companies that resolve queries and complaints through Facebook and Twitter saw 21% more sales than those that just relied on the phone or via email. 17% of consumers are now using social media for customer service, with 20% of them turning to social media first before contacting the company through other channels.
What's interesting is that there are varied reasons given by consumers for contacting companies through social media:
So the stereotype of consumers simply using social media as a channel for complaints doesn't hold water – it is much more varied than this. Customers want to be listened to and have their queries addressed quickly and comprehensively. In many cases simply receiving a response and acknowledgement is the critical factor – consumers want to feel valued by the companies they deal with. Do it right and they will spend more money with you – it really is that simple.
The American Express research also found that, despite increased company focus on customer service, 93% of consumers aren't happy with the level of service they receive. This is leading them to vote with their wallets – over half (55%) have walked away from a transaction due to dissatisfaction over service. Nearly one in three (32%) currently believe businesses are paying less attention to delivering good customer service, up from 26% in 2011. In a recession this equates to slamming the door in the face of people that want to buy from you.
Companies need to take on board the findings of this research and ensure they've got a strategy (and technology) in place to listen to their customers' views and deliver joined up service – whatever channel consumers want to use to contact them.

When the San Francisco Giants won the World Series in 2010, the team's bullpen was constructed in a way that most successful bullpens are: cheaply. Aside from Jeremy Affeldt, none of the Giants relievers on that 2010 team were signed to a multi-year contracts as free agents. Only Afefldt and Brian Wilson (through arbitration raises) were making seven figures per season. That Giants pen also featured cheap, scrap heap pickups like Santiago Casilla, Javier Lopez, and Guillermo Mota, along with a blossoming pre-arbitration stud named Sergio Romo. The Giants won the World Series again in 2012, and the bullpen was primarily the same, just a lot more expensive. Affeldt, Casilla, Romo, Lopez, and Mota were all still on the team, making a lot more money than they did two years ago. Wilson was also making more money, and was nontendered after the season due to another impending arbitration raise and a lost 2012 thanks to Tommy John surgery. But instead of learning from his 2010 bullp...

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) – Crews have started tearing down five houses destroyed by three massive overnight fires Friday in south Toledo.
First, firefighters were called to a blaze that broke out at 725 Western Ave., near the Anthony Wayne Trail, at 1:43 a.m.
Shortly after, crews responded to a fire at 242 Langdon at 2:28 a.m.
Also, another fire was reported at 354 Langdon at 4:12 a.m.
The fires destroyed five homes and has left neighbors shaken.
Abigail Torrez, who lives in the neighborhood, says she believes the fires were intentionally set.
"It's been happening a lot around here. It scares me. I got abandoned houses -- three around me," said Torrez.
"Actually, it's giving the whole South End a black eye," said one resident. "People don't want to move [here] now."
A $25,000 reward, increased from $10,000 Friday, is being offered for anyone who can help investigators catch whoever is setting the fires. [City of Toledo increases reward for fire information]
Investigators say they are looking for a family, gang or group that is setting fires in mainly vacant homes.
Anyone with information that could help investigators should call CrimeStopper at 419-255-1111.

"Evil will prevail if good people do nothing"
Re blog and Retweet and help bring more awareness to the suffering of Syrian people.
Long live free Syria
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I am not a writer by nature, so there is nothing poetic about this post of mine. My aim is to bring attention to the plight of freedom seeking Syrians against overwhelming odds and to convince people around the world to raise money to aid those that are the worst affected in Syria.
As I've…
Россия, ты совершил тяжкий грех против нашей крови
Russia, you've committed a grave sin against our blood
روسيا، لقد اقترفتِ خطيئةً كبرى بحقِّ دمائنا

(via raghdan)
The bloodshed and the brutality directed against protesters in Syria make it impossible to accept any promises of reform from the country's regime, Syrians living abroad say.
"It is far too late to accept reforms, especially after the fall of 3,000 martyrs," said Maram, a 35-year-old Syrian Canadian who lives in Windsor, Ontario.
Maram, who posts many videos online of the violent crackdown against protestors, said the majority of Syrians are eager to end the rule of Basher al-Assad.
As promised in my earlier post, here are a couple of video clips of today's massive protest in Aleppo (حلب). As Im from Aleppo, i take great pride in seeing the people of this great city rise. As i stated earlier, it's been almost impossible to assemble a group of more than a dozen or so…

The ongoing summer season, coupled with drought conditions, is having an adverse impact on the district with many of the tanks getting dried up. Many of them are small tanks meeting the drinking water and irrigation requirements locally, thereby preventing the dependency on others.
According to sources, more than 10 tanks in Patancheru mandal alone had dried up in the past few days. These tanks include Sultanpur, Kishtareddypet, Chitkul, Rudraram and Aminpur. The tank located at Aminpur, said to be one of the biggest in area spread over about 100 acres has also almost dried up. A part of the tank has been reportedly encroached upon .
Kothacheruvu located at Sadaviapet mandal has also dried up and the bottom of the tank can be seen . More than 100 acres used to get cultivated under the ayacut of this tank. The water levels at Meligi project in the same mandal have also dwindled to the minimum level where around 1,500 acres of land used to get cultivated with the irrigation supplied from this tank. For the past few years these tanks are not being filled in the rainy season as the rainfall is insufficient.
There are about 582 tanks which irrigate more than 100 acres ayacut followed by 5,175 tanks supplying irrigation to ayacut in less than 100 acres. The total ayacut that comes under minor irrigation is about 2.26 lakh acres followed by 27,000 acres under minor irrigation.
Of these, about 4,000 tanks are dried up or water is below spill level in about 1,000 tanks. The prevailing situation was attributed to deficit rainfall and lack of run off water during rainy season as the ground water levels were depleted at many places. No irrigation was supplied to second crop during current year whereas irrigation was supplied to 15,000 acres for second crop during last year.
" The rainwater gets dried up even before it reaches the tanks. Even the rainfall is not up to the required level,'' said Yadagiri a farmer.
"The water levels are slightly better at tanks located in Medak revenue division whereas many tanks located at Siddipet area were completely dried up. More than 90 per cent of tanks are dried up and though some tanks water have some water, it can be neither lifted nor transported from there,'' said a senior irrigation official.

It was not at all meant as a critique but just a funny note to show you that you're hardly the slowest player ever. 45-60 min for 4 turns seems on par with me with the first few turns taking the longest. Probably I could play more but I really don't have a game room per se so I can't really leave it set up permanently ( I kind of use a large old wooden dining room table on our enclosed patio) and tbh it may prevent me from buying more than a piece of two of your crafts.
What is Tibs' Contributors page? I've noted he does a lot of good things on this page and BGG--hope he never loses interest.

Leave a detailed message describing the problem and within a twenty-four-hour workday period, a lawyer from the Office of Professional Conduct will give you ethical help about small everyday matters and larger complex issues.
More information about the Bar's Ethics Hotline may be found at www.utahbar.org/opc/opc_ethics_hotline.html. Information about the formal Ethics Advisory Opinion process can be found at www.utahbar.org/rules_ops_pols/index_of_opinions.html.
On June 28, 2012, the Chair of the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Utah Supreme Court entered an Order of Discipline: Admonition against an attorney for violation of Rules 1.2(a) (Scope of Representation and Allocation of Authority Between Client and Lawyer), 1.4(a) (Communication), and 8.4(a) (Misconduct) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
In summary:
The attorney acted negligently in stipulating to the Memorandum of Understanding and causing the dismissal of the client's case after the attorney's office received the client's faxed letter stating that the client had reconsidered the settlement and did not want the Memorandum of Understanding submitted to the Court. The attorney's conduct caused potential injury because the client's decision on this matter should have been honored and the client should have been allowed an opportunity to challenge the enforcement of the Memorandum of Understanding. The attorney did subsequently file a motion to set aside the divorce decree; however, that motion was denied. The attorney negligently failed to reasonably communicate with the client prior to stipulating to the divorce decree.
On August 8, 2012, the Chair of the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Utah Supreme Court entered an Order of Discipline: Admonition against an attorney for violation of Rules 1.3 (Diligence), 1.4(a) (Communication), 8.1(b) (Bar Admission and Disciplinary Matters), and 8.4(a) (Misconduct) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
In summary:
An attorney was hired to have a juvenile's criminal record expunged. The attorney failed to reasonably communicate with his clients. The attorney failed to timely respond to the OPC's request for information. The attorney was negligent and his misconduct inflicted little or no injury.
Aggravating factors:
Prior discipline history and substantial experience in the practice.
Mitigating factors:
Remorse and recent personal issues.
On August 27, 2012, the Chair of the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Utah Supreme Court entered an Order of Discipline: Public Reprimand against Kimberly J. Trupiano, for violation of Rules 3.3(a) (Candor Toward the Tribunal), 8.4(c) (Misconduct), 8.4(d) (Misconduct), and 8.4(a) (Misconduct) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
In summary:
A pro se individual pleaded guilty to criminal charges; was placed on probation; fined and ordered to complete further evaluation. Almost two years after the conviction, the judge was notified that the individual had not paid the fines nor completed the evaluation. The individual failed to appear and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Four years after the warrant was issued, Ms. Trupiano made a motion to recall the warrant on the individual on the basis that he had been deported shortly after his plea and sentencing so he could not complete the criminal matter. The documents filed by Ms. Trupiano implied that the individual had remained outside the country since his deportation. At the same time that Ms. Trupiano filed her motion to recall the warrant, Ms. Trupiano was representing the individual in a child custody matter in Utah that was scheduled to be heard approximately nine days after she had filed the motion to recall the warrant. Among the documents that Ms. Trupiano filed as part of the motion to recall and subsequent hearing on behalf of the individual was a non-notarized affidavit giving Ms. Trupiano permission to represent the individual. A notarized affidavit would have revealed that the individual was presently living in Kansas. In response to questions from the judge about Ms. Trupiano's client's sentencing, Ms. Trupiano never clarified that her client had returned to the United States after deportation. Ms. Trupiano phrased her responses to avoid disclosing her client's location and trips to Utah. Ms. Trupiano's statements were misleading and in fact misled the prosecution and the Court and she did nothing to correct the misrepresentation. The level of injury is injury to the legal system.
Mitigating factors:
No prior discipline; inexperience in the law; value of her services to the community; the judge's belief that Ms. Trupiano is a good lawyer.
On August 20, 2012, the Honorable L. A. Dever, Third Judicial District Court, entered an Order of Sanction suspending D. Scott Berrett from the practice of law for three years and placing him on probation for three years for violation of Rules 1.1 (Competence), 1.2(a) (Scope of Representation), 1.3 (Diligence), 1.4(a) (Communication), 1.4(b) (Communication), 1.5(a) (Fees), 1.5(c) (Fees), 1.15(a) (Safekeeping Property), 1.15(c) (Safekeeping Property), 1.16(d) (Declining or Terminating Representation), 8.1(b) (Bar Admission and Disciplinary Matters), 8.4(c) (Misconduct), 8.4(d) (Misconduct) and 8.4(a) (Misconduct) of the Rules of Professional Conduct.
In summary there are eight matters:
In the first matter, a client hired Mr. Berrett to assist the client in collecting funds from the client's client. In the second matter, a client provided Mr. Berrett with customer files in order to collect debts owed to a financial group. In the third matter, a client hired Mr. Berrett to represent the client in matters relating to the custody and visitation of a child. In the fourth matter, Mr. Berrett represented a client on a personal injury when he was associated with a law firm. In the fifth matter, the client retained Mr. Berrett to represent the client regarding three personal injury matters. In the sixth matter, a client paid Mr. Berrett to represent the client in a divorce case. In the seventh matter, a client hired Mr. Berrett to pursue a civil suit. In the eighth matter, a client hired Mr. Berrett via telephone, after receiving an advertising mailer from Mr. Berrett that referred to charges pending against the client.
In one matter Mr. Berrett lacked sufficient experience to properly complete the work he was hired to perform. In six matters Mr. Berret failed to abide by his client's objectives with regard to their matters. In all matters Mr. Berrett failed to pursue the cases in a timely manner or failed to complete any meaningful work on the cases. In all matters Mr. Berrett failed to communicate with his clients by failing to return calls, emails, and text messages and failing to respond to faxes or mailed correspondence. In four of the matters Mr. Berrett failed to reasonably explain matters to his clients so they could make informed decisions about their cases. In four matters Mr. Berrett charged an unreasonable fee when he failed to perform any meaningful work on the matters. In three of the matters Mr. Berrett failed to have a written fee agreement with his clients. In one matter Mr. Berrett did not keep funds the clients paid separate from his own property. In one matter Mr. Berrett withdrew fees that were unearned. In seven matters Mr. Berrett failed to return the clients' files and/or return any unearned fees when requested. In all matters Mr. Berrett failed to appear at the Screening Panel hearing. In five of the matters Mr. Berrett misrepresented the status of the case to his clients. In four of the matters Mr. Berrett failed to pursue the matters, thereby engaging in conduct that was prejudicial to the administration of justice.
Aggravating factors:
Prior record of discipline; dishonest or selfish motive; pattern of misconduct; multiple offenses; and substantial experience in the practice of law.

Well…WOW! What more can you say. Clemson is always tough, but this series is getting to be a bit ridiculous!
The day started off pretty well for me. I got some real work done Thursday morning and then met up with a good GT buddy around Noon.
We made the trip down GA400 and went directly to the Varsity where I chowed down on a pair of chili dogs and a stack of onion rings. We noticed a few Clemson folks who'd come down early, mixed in with the rest of the early GT arrivals. (I like the Clemson fans…they're always classy, in my experience.)
Stuffed full of chili, onions, and grease we wobbled over towards our west campus tailgate spot. Things were already set up and in full swing. If you've read Jennifer Brett's recent article "Tailgaters pay homage to football gods" then you've read about our tailgate. Vu, Trey, and I first met back around 2001 (or was it 2002?) and the tailgate has grown yearly ever since. The grassy area next to the Instructional Center really is one of the best spots on campus. I'm not sure how Jennifer found Vu…I had nothing to do with it…honest!
By the time game time rolled around, I'd added a fair number of hot wings and an Abita Purple Haze (thanks Sam!) to the Varsity meal from earlier in the day. The weather was perfect, spirits were high, and it was time for Toe Meets Leather in front of a nation ESPN Thursday Night audience.
Walking into the stadium, I was very impressed with the number of people who were wearing white. I'd estimate the participation rate upwards of 90% amongst GT fans who were in attendence. As good as it looked on TV, it looked ever better in person. There's actually a great Youtube video that was shot from the front seat of the Wreck as it came back out to start the second half. Check the link here.
The game itself was a strange combination of ups and downs, highs and lows, exhilaration and frustration…all emphasized by the fact that I found myself sitting directly next to three Clemson fans. They were great guys, shaking hands and socializing with everyone before the game started. In short, they were everything I've experience and expected from Clemson fans over the years…classy folks who love their football.
The first half was a laugher…jumping up 21-0 on the strength of an 82 yard option pitch, an 85 yard quick kick return, and 34 yard fake field goal. When we weren't alternately laughing and cheering we were consoling our new Clemson friends and reminding them that there was plenty of football left to be played. (And wow…how prescient did those assurances turn out to be…) Even after the big play of 63 yards to Spiller, we were still leading 24-7 and knew we'd get the first possession of the second half.
And we all expected Spiller to make some big plays…right? We knew we wouldn't get out of that game without giving up at least a few yards to a Tiger offense that boasted Spiller and Jacoby Ford…
The second half turned out to be about as aggravating and disheartening as the first half was amusing and entertaining. The third quarter alone may have been the worst I've seen Tech play in person…ever. The offense managed somewhere around 50 yards on three possessions while the defense gave up 17 points on three Clemson possessions. I was having flashbacks to the horrid loss to the Hokies years ago when the Jackets blew a 17 point lead late in the second half.
The fourth quarter started for the Jackets at the Tech 20 and Nesbitt promptly threw to the Tiger's 35. Unfortunately, it was caught by a defender wearing purple, not a receiver wearing white or gold.
But at this point in the game, the defense seemed to rise up and recover from the blunders of the third quarter. Stopping the Tigers at the Tech 35 yardline, it seemed like the Jackets had forced Clemson into four down territory and a 4th and 8 situation. Clemson responded with a 53 yard field goal that looked like it would have been good from 60 yards. When your opponent drills a 53 yard field goal…well…there's not much you can do but appreciate it.
The Jackets responded with a 12 play, 69 yard drive that ate up almost six minutes off the clock. As bad as Nesbitt had been in the third quarter, he was just as good on this drive…running for 44 yards and throwing for 24 yards to set up a 34 yard field goal attempt to tie, which Blair nailed.
The defense came back out to a tie game and Clemson with the ball on their 33. The result was a five play drive that gained one yard after a holding penalty erased a 38 yard completion that might have put Clemson into scoring position.
Tech took over on their 35 for what everyone knew would be the defining possession of the game for the Jackets. The result was a 47 yard, seven play drive that ended at the Clemson 18 yard line. The Jackets had fought their way into field goal position despite a holding "make up" call on an Allen 13 yard run and by way of a crucial 39 yard third down completion to Thomas.
Scott Blair nailed a 36 yard field goal, Jerrard Terrant heroically deflected a deep ball on third down as the Tigers threw down field in desperation, and a weary Josh Nesbitt took a knee to seal a miraculous 30-27 win…at which point, close to 50 thousand Tech fans breathed a sigh of relief and the Clemson faithful groaned at opportunity lost after a great, gutsy comeback.
As I walked back to the post-game tailgate (to wait out traffic) I reflected on the game and gained a huge amount of respect to Dabo Swinney and the Clemson players and coaching staff. They got punched in the mouth horrendously in the first quarter of play and could have given up. But they didn't…they came back out scratching and clawing in the third quarter and made adjustments that completely confounded the Jackets. It was only sheer heart and lack of quit on the Jackets part that allowed them to recover and execute the fourth quarter drives that allowed Scott Blair to be the hero…kicking us to a win.
Go Jackets!
Coming up in the next week…Is Miami's swagger truly back or is it just more hot air? You decide…

Tech need to work on tackling all week in pratice. we looked soft against clemson and they broke way to many tackles and it hurt us. miami has better atheletes than clemson and they can make BIG plays pass deffense and tackling will be key

I hate to say it.. but Clemson was a much better team.. I think we lucked out in the first quarter with that punt return and trick play..Clemson's defense dominated in the 2nd half.. If we make it to the ACCCG.. and Clemson is there.. I don't think we can beat them again.. advantage always goes to losers..and Clemson may be the best team in the Atlantic after what I saw from FSU

Although we beat Clemson I can't help but feel nervous about our prospects this year. Aside from two special team touchdowns and a good drive in the waning minutes to secure victory, Clemson ate our lunch. Where did they find that quarterback? He looks like he should be starting for Unversity of Southern California…the guy lit us up all night. This Clemson team looks like the real deal.
I can only hope we improve our defenisve strategy, not to mention giving Nesbit some throwing lessons. How the hell are we going to beat Miami if we can't throw the ball? I hate to say this, Clemson was a much better team then we were on Thursday.

Clemson's QB is Kyle Parker.. He was recruited with that #2 recruiting class a couple years ago..he would of been rated the #1 QB if he was a little taller ESPN said..he probably has one of the best arms in college football..Came to Clemson because he could play Football and Baseball..Clemson's 3 QB's are all Elite 11 QB's..
Miami is good, but still to be determined after how FSU played
Clemson's season will depend on how they respond to a tough loss..but I like their coach Dabo Swinney and think they will be fine
and to Nesbitt's defense..He was picked off by two great plays from Clemson's strong safety..I've read that he is probably the best SS in the ACC even though he had to play linebacker last year..reminded me of Brian Dawkins who used to play for Clemson
September 13th, 2009
1:20 am
and gtstud..I don't think Miami has any players the caliber of Spiller or Jacoby Ford.. especially not their speed.. But Miami is filled with 4 or 5 star recruits who never seem to live up to expectations

@ Knopperz and everyone else bitching.
It's amazing how simply minded some people views of the world is that they can't see anything outside of their very limited sphere of interaction.
So you think because you and your "hardcore" friends aren't enjoying WoW and are bored with the game that that can be the *only* reason for the evening out of subscriptions? Are you kidding me?
1) Many people seem to forget that back in Vanilla WoW, there was one point where we went nearly a year without any new content. And people were whining and bitching about a lack of things to do back even more than they are now.
The subscriptions didn't drop.
Here's a suggestion; if you don't like the game anymore, stop playing, or just cancel your account until something new content *does* come out.
Many of you sound like drug addicts who are desperate for a hit but realise that the drugs don't give that same hit they did the first few times you took them, yet you keep taking them hoping that it will.
2) We're in the middle of an worldwide economic recession, the worst the world has seen in almost 80 / 90 years. The fact that the game has even managed to keep subscriptions steady is a miracle, as well as a testament to the game's appeal.
@ First
3) I would argue the exact opposite is likely. China still hasn't gotten Wrath of the Lich King, which means that most Chinese players have gone almost a year without substantial new content.
So it's a lot more likely that Chinese subscriptions are down, not US and EU ones.
Funny thing is, while all the fanboys in the west are bitching about a lack of things to do in game, the east actually *has* had to deal with a lack of content for ages now because of a stupid legal censorship board.
Remember that next time you're running through Ulduar, or gearing up for the Icecrown Citadel raid against Arthas a year down the line.

It was only in death that i lived a moment.
Death is the leveling agent-
You should never be too far from where you could be at.
Tomorrow Never Waits-
-the beach looks so much more beautiful, before you know what it means.
the greatest mistake you can make is thinking you can't make one-
The answer is longer than the question.
Before one can be close, we must learn to be close afar.
Everybody wants to like and not admit they dislike.
Don't be afraid to be late.

Read, learn, and absorb: Stanley Kubrick and Jim Thompson's screenplay for Paths of Glory [pdf]. (NOTE: For educational purposes only)
In 1956, a 26-year-old Stanley Kubrick asked Thompson to adapt Lionel White's "Clean Break." Retitled The Killing for the screen, it became Kubrick's breakthrough movie. Thompson's multi-narrative, tightly-wound script about a racetrack heist going wrong would resound down the years in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Jim also collaborated on Kubrick's next venture, the World War I drama Paths of Glory.
In 1956, when Kubrick and producing partner James B. Harris secured the film rights to Lionel White's caper novel Clean Break, it was Kubrick's idea to recruit Thompson as his co-writer. "Are you familiar with a guy named Jim Thompson," he asked Harris. "He's a terrific writer who's written some stuff I love." Living in Sunnyside, Queens at the time, soft-spoken Jim Thompson was soon working with the budding maverick director.
In 1957, when Harris-Kubrick moved to California, the Thompson family relocated to Hollywood Hills to be close to Stanley. Riding into the sun-drenched city on the train, they were met at the station by the director. "The writing of Paths of Glory was essentially a very well-paid part time job for Thompson," reported biographer Michael McCauley in his 1991 book Sleep With the Devil. "With a burst of spirit and a bust of creativity, he wrote and sold two novels (The Kill-Off and Wild Town) that same year."
In actuality, Kubrick hired Thompson to rewrite the original draft penned by Calder Willingham. However, when their star Kirk Douglass read Thompson's rewrite, he was appalled and reportedly threw the script across the room. Demanding that the Willingham's version be reinstated, the final shooting script was credited to the two writers and director Kubrick. According to biographer Robert Polito, only seven scenes of Thompson's made the final cut.
Although Paths of Glory won the Directors Guild of America Award for best screenplay, with the exception of a few television shows and a failed attempt to adapt his novel The Getaway (star Steve McQueen didn't like the script), Thompson's screenwriting career stalled. —Cold Blood: On Jim Thompson and Stanley Kubrick

This the Best Aftermarket Retailer That You Can Buy
By Harsh Chauhan - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, ORLY
While vehicle sales in the U.S. continue to remain strong, driven by a robust housing sector and low interest rates, it's surprising to see that the average of vehicles on U.S. roads has continued to increase. According to market research firm Polk (via CNN Money), the average age of vehicles hit an all-time high of 11.4 years.

An Auto Parts Retailer for Your Portfolio
By ANUP SINGH - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, ORLY
In 1957, the O'Reilly family opened its first store in Springfield, MO. Since then, O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY), the aftermarket retailer, has been growing gradually. From a modest beginning in 1957, it has grown to more than 4,000 stores operating in 42 states. The company sells its products to both DIY (do-it-yourself) customers and DIFM (do-it-for-me), or professional installers.

By Damon Churchwell - August 13, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, ORLY, PBY
One sector I recommend for those seeking companies that are likely to thrive going forward, and also -- somewhat surprisingly -- have plenty of room for expansion is the auto-parts retail industry. Because of the various catalysts for growth that may impact these companies, they can potentially fare well under a range of environmental conditions, be it related to automobile sales or gasoline prices.

Three Stocks to Buy on Evolving Business Models
By Zain Abbas - August 1, 2013 | Tickers: GNC, LL, ORLY
Last week's earnings results were fun to watch, as three of the names blew away expectations, and each redefined their upside potential. What was most intriguing was that two of the three names, O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) and Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL), trade at relatively high multiples, implying that the market accepts that they are no slouches. The third name, GNC (NYSE: GNC), which actually provided the biggest more »

In the United States, an increasing number of consumers are keeping their cars on the road longer. It's not entirely difficult to understand why.

Should You Get in the Zone (the Auto One)?
By Ryan Palmer - July 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, ORLY, PBY
America has a long-running love affair with the automobile. Contrary to popular belief, Henry Ford was not the inventor of the automobile. French inventor, Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, is credited with that honor. In 1769, his bulky steam-powered contraption toured the streets of Paris at a maximum speed of 2.5 miles per hour.
The first automobile powered by an internal combustion engine was patented in Germany in 1885 by Karl Benz more »
Does Genuine Parts Have Any Genuine Upside Left?
By Manish Babla - July 9, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, GPC, LKQ, ORLY
Shares of Atlanta-based Genuine Parts (NYSE: GPC) have been star performers lately. They are up 37% year-to-date, and are trading at all-time highs. This is stronger than both the 15% rise in the S&P 500 during the same period, as well as the average 20% rise for its peer group, as represented by the First Trust NASDAQ Global Auto Index ETF.

The Best Company to Maintain Your Portfolio
By harsha lohia - June 21, 2013 | Tickers: AAP, AZO, ORLY
With the average age of vehicles being more than 10 years, car parts and car maintenance will become more and more necessary. Even winter is expected to be comparably colder this year, which makes servicing your car all the more essential. And that's good news for car part retailers.
Thus, it's no surprise that stocks of auto parts companies have enjoyed solid gains. But the question is, which more »

For years, the brothers Manny, Moe, and Jack have toiled away as a hybrid failure in the auto sector.

Auto Parts Retailers Are Revving it Up

Solid results from the likes of O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY), a retailer, as well as several wholesale auto parts suppliers, jumpstarted the stocks of previously floundering do-it-yourself stores. O'Reilly's earnings per share rose to $1.38 from $1.14 in the prior-year period. Share repurchases supported the upturn.

A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: Daniel Baldwin is the third eldest child of six, four of whom are star actors (all the boys of the family, oddly enough). He attended Ball State University for about a year, planning to study psychology. He left school and began to work as a stand-up comedian before starting acting in 1988. Baldwin has had some problems with the law in the past, the most serious being a drug possession offense. ~ Rovi

I'm still a novice and have been making beer from the kits. I was wondering what the difference is between the dry malt extract and liquid? The kits I buy will use both. Does one make the acohol % higher then the other and does it change the taste if they are interchanged? Just curious as I want to venture out and start making my recipes.
nope...no real difference in terms of alcohol %. Roughly 1lb grain = .75lb liquid = .6lb dry. people have their preferences, but its all the same in the end. When I used extract I used both, as well as mixing both in recipes. You still would look at the gravity points contribution with whatever extract you choose to build recipes.
Great question.
Wondering the same thing as it regards ordering DME in bulk. Could save $$ that way, but most recipes call for DME and LME. If I correct for OG, should DME be interchangeable for LME?
8 letters
You may want to account for color as well when interchanging, but you'll be fine swapping the two out if you correct for OG
There are differences between DME and LME. Taste, color, and something what I call a malt extract specific "character," a bit of a certain undertone, that you won't get from 100% AG.
Because of stale canned LME warnings all over the brew boards I've been avoiding cans of LME. Who knows how old they are and how they were stored? Instead I've been using Briess or Muntons DME exclusively with steeping grains. The results were very good. Maybe not as good as AG in skilled hands can be, but very appetizing. Like 90-95% of the way there.
When we moved our new local HBS pours fresh LME from 33 or 50 gallon vats. It looks and tastes very fresh and they sell a lot of it, so it remains fresh. I made a couple batches with their LME.
I think there's a particular flavor note ("character") that comes with LME. A sweetish twang. The DME also has some twang, but is a drier and perhaps somewhat lighter one.
The twang I taste is similar to, but much less pronounced than, the difference between powdered instant coffee (compare DME) and liquid coffee concentrates (compare LME). The malt flavor of both extracts is different from what you get with AG brewing (compare freshly ground coffee beans), which if done right can give you the cleanest, freshest tasting wort, with none of that underlying extract twang "character."
Now for the beginning brewer in general I would encourage to brew with extracts first. Once you get a handle on the whole process, and know what to expect from a home brew, and feel you want to make your brew life more complicated, you can decide to step up to AG. The start of a new adventure. I love mashing grains, it is almost more rewarding than the boil itself.
Just to put a perspective on this, I was using extract up to now and have just made the switch to AG brewing.
Some of the recipes in Sam Calagione's book call for both LME and DME. Most of the time, it is purely practical. If your LHBS doesn't sell LME from a bulk container by the pound, you are buying it in 3.3 pound containers. So a recipe will call for 6.6 LBS of LME and 1 LB of DME, just so you don't have to buy a third can and end up with a bunch of leftover LME. I am pretty sure that Northern Brewer does it the same way- they get you as close as possible with their standard size containers of LME, and then get you the rest of the way with DME. See if the recipes you are using are formulated like that- if so, you probably know that the author is just trying to make the recipe convenient, rather than trying to get something specific out of the mix of DME and LME.
