The parents of the passenger who was also killed in Ryan Dunn's fatal 2011 high speed car crash are suing the "Jackass" star's estate ... claiming Dunn was extremely drunk when he wrecked his Porsche and is responsible for killing their son.
TMZ broke the story ... Dunn had been drinking HEAVILY before he crashed his Porsche into a tree at 132 mph in Pennsylvania in June 2011 ... killing himself and his passenger Zachary Hartwell.
Now, Hartwell's parents have filed a lawsuit against Dunn's estate AND the bar where Dunn had been drinking before the crash ... claiming Barnaby's West Chester was negligent in serving Dunn after he was obviously hammered.
The Hartwells also claim Dunn was reckless and negligent by operating his vehicle while under the influence of alcohol ... and should not have been driving at extremely dangerous speeds.
Zach's parents are suing for unspecified damages ... claiming they've lost the services, guidance, and comfort of their son. And they want Dunn's estate to cover expenses associated with Zach's death ... including funeral costs.
Zach's parents are also suing on behalf of their son's estate ... claiming Dunn and the bar should pay for the "pre-impact fright, fear, pain and suffering" that Zach experienced before he died.
Zach's parents also want both parties to pay for the wages Zach would have earned during his lifetime.
First time hearing being sued for "pre impact fright " What next?
This is my first time hearing being sued for " pre impact fright" What next.?
Your son was irresponsible for getting into a car in which the driver was drunk. Your son doesn't deserve compensation for being an idiot, sorry!
Was Zach forced against his will to be Dunn's passenger? Nope. He chose to be there. Ryan Dunn's family is hurting as well. Why bring them any further grief? Any amount of money won't make the situation better. They'll be wealthier but still without their son.
I can not imagine the pain of loosing your son but no amount of money will ever bring him back or ease your pain. I understand requesting the estate pay for his funeral bills. However, he voluntarily got into that car with someone he knew was drunk. The bar, bartendar, and server should be fined for overserving their customer, but liable for him driving like a maniac and going out of control, I don't think so. The bar did not make him get into that car and drive like an idiot. You are suing for his pain and suffering in the moments before the crash? How do you know he was awake or felt anything at all. There is no proof of this, therefore baseless. And his lifetime wages? Give me a break, how is one to know how long he would have lived? and its not like he was going to be living home with mom and dad and handing over every red cent. Common sence and personal responsiblity seem to go by the wayside in these ridiculous lawsuits. The attorney that filed this should be ashamed of themselves for wasting precious court time. I'm sure the estate will pay them off to go away. It comes down to extortion
I hate s*** like this,makes me think they would rent their childs but out to sandusky for enough money
There is no one to sue. Nice try, filed, next.
WOW! The parents should realize that it was theirs son choice to get in the card with him. I bet he was drunk also. I bet the parents are broke and are just looking for a pay out. Whats has America become. No one wants to work for there own income instead they rather sue, sue and sue. There son should had been responsible and said I am not going to get in a car with someone drunk, though he was probably drunk as well.
Wait, was this guy forced to get into the car at gunpoint? Or did he make a choice to get in a car with a drunk driver? Why should someone else be responsible for the guy's choices?
I can see how they see it that way...but they were probably laughing their asses off until they missed the freeway turn off and hit a tree instead. Still, Dunn was driving and they should get some of his estate.
"claiming Dunn and the bar should pay for the "pre-impact fright, fear, pain and suffering" that Zach experienced before he died. " Uh, he, also drunk going what was it? like 130 mph i think they determined?? I don't think he felt anything. And Zach did get into the car under his own will. I feel they'r ejust trying to get money they dont even need here.
god rest ur son.........but get a friggin' grip............is $$$$$$gonna bring back ur son?.............he was not held at gunpoint to get in the car (as far as i know)..............que sera,sera...........peace to u both.......god bless the usa ,we have the 'blame game'..........
BUT, I guess their son bore NO responsibility for getting in the car w/someone who was wasted. Hope they don't get a one red cent. People like them who sue, blaming EVERYONE else, make me fu**ing sick!
Sparced, thank you for the quote....
I'm pretty sure that will be one huge thing working against them, publicly saying they wouldn't sue, the reason why, etc., now all of a sudden they're out for blood. No amount of money will bring back Ryan or Zach, so the healthiest thing they can all do is move on from this nightmare and remember the good times they had with their son.

Kibbutz Cuisine Gets Its Due
A best-selling Israeli cookbook collects the best recipes—and the best stories—from communal dining halls
According to Kfar Blum's archivist Shimon Schwartz—a New York native who has been living in the northern kibbutz for 62 years—the question of whether the food on a kibbutz was good or bad was, for many years, totally irrelevant. "The kibbutz motto was modesty, humility, and simplicity, in every aspect of life," said Schwartz. "Kibbutz food had to be filling and reasonably nutritious and not much else."
Schwartz divides kibbutz cuisine into three distinct periods: "First, there was the 'instead' period. In the early days the food was served on trolleys and everybody got the same thing. If you didn't like it you could ask for something else instead, and then you got something else, which was usually of lesser quality, and if you didn't like that either, it was your problem. There were no other options. The second period was the 'variety' period, which more or less started in the 1970s. That's when the dining hall switched to self-service, which was the only way more variety could be introduced. And the third period, which started in the 1990s and is still going on today, is the 'privatization' period. The moment you started paying for the food, it got better and more varied, and the quantity wasn't limited anymore either. Before you couldn't have more than one piece of chicken or two sausages at lunch, now you can have as much as you want, since you're paying for it. But privatization also meant that communal dining rooms started closing down, either entirely or partially. Even before the privatization process, most kibbutzim stopped serving dinner. Then they stopped serving breakfast. Now most privatized kibbutzim serve only lunch, if they're open at all."
Despite the dishes he and Haim discovered, Vardi maintains that the food was never the main event of the kibbutz dining hall: "The importance of the communal dining hall runs much deeper than the food. The kibbutz was and is a home to many, and the dining hall played an important unifying role in the culture that developed in each kibbutz."
Yet not everyone who grew up on a kibbutz remembers communal dining fondly. Yael Neeman, author of the memoir We Were the Future, about growing up in Kibbutz Yehiam, recalls a quite stressful experience: "The moment you entered the dining hall, all eyes were on you," she said. "If you wore something a little bit out of the ordinary, you would receive stares, people would check out who you were with. The dining hall was the place where everything happened, and the food was just a tiny and almost insignificant part of what went on there."
Good or bad, it seems the communal dining hall is reaching the end of its life. Today there are 274 kibbutzim in Israel, and only about a quarter of them still preserve a cooperative dining system to some degree. As communal dining declines, so do common dishes that became famous kibbutz fare. "There are still a few communal dining rooms active, but not many, and nowadays most of them are run by external catering services," Vardi said. "The objective of this book was to document these recipes and these stories before it's too late."

'Someone Slipped My Niece the Date-Rape Drug!'
I had purchased concert tickets for all of us, but when the time came, I was simply too tired to go. (I had been working 14 to 16 days on a local film project.) So I called a friend of mine to ask if he and his brother would accompany my nieces to the show. They -- two respectable, church-going young men (also actors) -- were up for the task. I knew the girls would be in good company and that I could stay home and get some much-needed rest.
Not long after, my phone rang. A frantic voice at the end was saying that I had to come downtown, because my younger niece was in the "paddy wagon." I thought it was a joke. ("D.," one of the young men my nieces were with, is quite the comedian.) But he explained quickly that it was no joke, and I could tell by the now-frightened tone in his voice that he was serious. He said that my younger niece had started freaking out on her sister, and they'd started to fight.
I rushed out of the house. I had a brief chat with the local police, offered my sincere apologies to my friend for my nieces' behavior, and in under 10 minutes we were on our way home. The girls were a crazy mess -- which was totally unlike them. The elder of the two said that they hadn't been at the club for long and had had only one drink, so it wasn't about the alcohol. She said that her sister had just started freaking out, and that her efforts to contain her had been met with hostility. The bouncers tried to calm them down, to no avail. They left the club, and their behavior attracted enough attention that they were picked up by the police.
Once in my car, they started going at one another -- one in the front seat, one in the back. My niece in the back was in a terrible state. I knew that something had gone terribly wrong. While we were stopped at a traffic light a few blocks from my home (and, thank God, the local hospital), my younger niece jumped out of the car just as I accelerated. I drove over her ankle; she was screaming horrifically.
The situation was starting to resemble a bad movie. After some effort, I got everyone back into the car and proceeded directly to the hospital. I got my niece admitted and she was put into a waiting area for the attending physician. He arrived, dressed the gaping wound in her ankle, then informed me that my niece was way too "high" to have any other medicine in her system. He told me to keep a close watch on her through the night, and that if anything should change, I should call 911 and have her admitted again.
"Too high"?! The next day when the now-calm girls and I had our inevitable "briefing," I was told that my younger niece had gone to the restroom and had left her drink unattended at the bar. Clearly, something had been slipped into her drink, because within no time she had started feeling totally out of sorts -- and then lost control. Luckily, she was in good company and got out of the club before something worse happened. But needless to say, I called my sister right away and told her she needed to come and get her girls.
Moms, what do you think? How would you have handled this situation, and how do you educate your daughters about the dangers of the date-rape drug -- and rape in general?
No just because she left her drink unattended doesn't mean someone slipped her rufies. If you ordered a tox-screen and it said she had rufies in her system then that's one thing but you didn't. Your niece probably went to get high in the bathroom and is to shameful to admit it and you're to naive to see that.
My Mom always taught my sister and I to get our own drinks, keep a hand over our drink while walking through crowds, and if we left our drink unattended for even just a minute, to get a new one.
I have to agree with Matt. I have seen the effects of the date rape drug, and her behavior sounds nothing like it.
That sounds like a terrible night! I am afraid to even think that that could have been my daughter! OMG! You ran over her ankle?!
You should have asked for a tox screen to know exactly what drug was slipped into her drink.. But other than that, I thought you handled it pretty well. It sounded like you were very calm and in control and you knew exactly what to do. Your nieces are lucky they got home fine..
Drink spiking is thwe worst crime even the UN has requestd that every member state should put postivev actions to prevent it happening. Have a look at our website www.topp-stoppa.com.
We are looking to supply in to North America. It has received the accolade as the only device which works and has tamper evidence on bottled drinks.
John R Blundell
Check out the facts about drink spiking and drug related sexual abuse at http://www.roofie.com
I'm just not sure that something was slipped into her drink. You really should of had her tested while in the ER.
I really appreciate the seriousness of this article and there are a lot of good things people can learn here.
However what you're describing doesn't sound at all like the side effects of any of the "date rape" drugs. If you ever see behavior like that again in somebody you should take them to the hospital and find out exactly what's wrong with them.
This doesn't sound like the date rape drug. I have experienced this once in a bar and you almost are like sleepwalking. You can't see anything, or anyone, and you don't have any control of your body. It is a terrible experience, thats why it's so easy to rape a person in this manner. I was with a group of people in a bar, and when i came up missing they went looking for me. I was found at the back of the club w/some guy about to rape me. He got away, and i couldn't remember a thing, only that we danced. All women should heed the advice of not accepting drinks or leaving drinks unattended.
Me and my son were drugged a few years ago over a few week period.I am finding a lot of mental and physical thing are happening even though it has been a while .I need to know what the long term effects are,or where can I get this info.
Thank you.

The group has stepped up to replace Lady Antebellum as the headliner after the "Need You Now" band pulled out of the show when learning newlywed singer Hillary Scott was pregnant.
The Dixie Chicks last hit the road together in 2010 for a tour with the Eagles, and they played a charity show in Texas last year.
The Craven Country Jamboree, which is scheduled for July, will also feature appearances from Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw.

AICN HORROR - ZOMBIES & SHARKS: Bug looks at horror on the cheap with MONSTERS and SLICES OF LIFE!!!
Greetings, all. Ambush Bug here with another AICN HORROR: ZOMBIES & SHARKS column. Why ZOMBIES & SHARKS? Well, those are the two things that I've had the most nightmares about. It's the reason I rarely swim in the ocean. It's the reason I have an escape plan from my apartment just in case of a zombie apocalypse. Now if you've ever had those fears or fears like them, inspired mainly by nights upon nights of watching films of the frightening kind, this is the place for you. Look for AICN HORROR: ZOMBIES & SHARKS every Friday for the foreseeable future, horror hounds, where we'll be covering horror in all forms; retro, indie, mainstream, old and new.
This week we take a look at two low budget thrillers worth a million bucks. But before we do that, I have a couple of horror related tidbits for you.
Though I'm not the biggest fan of the SAW films, the successful horror movie franchise is a powerhouse in the horror world. Mullholland Books website ran a pretty fascinating piece from SAW writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan on the Culture of Scary Movies and Writing the Saw series. With SAW 3-D being the number one film this last Halloween weekend, it's interesting to read what these guys' take on horror is. Follow the link here to read this piece.
Finally, I reviewed BELA LUGOSI'S TALES FROM THE GRAVE #1 in this week's AICN COMICS REVIEWS Indie Jones section and it's a comic you horror-fiends may want to check out. The book was released from Monsterverse this week. You can read my full review of this fantastic horror anthology starring everyone's favorite classic vampire written and drawn by some extremely talented folks by clicking here.
And now on with the cheaply made, but not cheaply looking horror…
Today on AICN HORROR
(Click title to go directly to the feature)
And finally… Zombina & the Skeletones: Nobody Likes You When You're Dead!
Written / Directed by Gareth Edwards
Starring Scoot McNairy & Whitney Able
Reviewed by Ambush Bug
Much of the attention given to this film has to do with the miniscule budget the maker of this film used to make it. It is an achievement that Gareth Edwards was able to make MONSTERS for the rumored 15K, but more so it's a testament to the advancement of technology available today for pretty much anyone with a camera and a story to tell. I discussed this with a friend of mine recently, though, that because of successes of low budget horror like this film, it gives inspiration to wannabe filmmakers with a few thou to spare to think their low fi schlocker is worthwhile just because it was shot on the cheap. This means there's going to be a hell of a lot of shitty new films out there for all of us to sort through, but also it means that every now and then a PARANORMAL ACTIVITY or a BLAIR WITCH or in this case a MONSTERS rises to the surface.
But enough about the budget, it was cheap to make. Groovy. Is it worth seeing?
Yes, it is. Gareth Edwards is a true talent, not only because he's frugal, but because he's crafted a beautifully shot story of a pair of twenty-sometings trying to make their way through an infected zone inhabited with creatures from outer space in order to get home. The story is simple, it's a simple quest to get home. So Edwards doesn't have to linger on trying to over-explain things. If anything, aside from a few words at the beginning talking about a fallen satellite and an alien virus, Edwards uses the threat of the creatures as a backdrop and chooses to focus on a more important story, which in this case is how two people are falling in love with one another.
I know it sounds sappy, but this is more of a romantic adventure than anything else. Two heroes, one a pampered rich girl (played by the nummy Whitney Able) and the other a gritty photographer (played by Scoot McNairy), are an unlikely couple that would have never met if not for the fact that they have to make it through a dangerous territory to get home. This couple is extremely likable, though. Able is not a snotty rich girl that you don't like. She's more of a lost soul. McNairy's photographer character is kind of an @$$Hole, but shows a more delicate side as well. In the end, because these two people are so likable, you end up hoping the monsters don't get them (which is something I can't say for 97% of most other big budget horror films these days). Take CLOVERFIELD for example. I wanted those @$$clowns to get stomped in the end and cheered when they did. Here, every time the jungle goes dark, I felt a sense of urgency because these two people I had grown to like were in danger.
Comparisons to CLOVERFIELD and DISTRICT 9 are being thrown out all over the place when talking about this film and I can see where someone would do that. There are giant monsters in the background a la CLOVERFIELD. But if I had to compare this to any film, it would be more like LOST IN TRANSLATION in that, as that film served as a travelogue of all of the sights and sounds of Tokyo, this film does the same for the beautiful landscapes and culture of Central America. Director Edwards does a fantastic job of shutting his characters the fuck up and letting the world happen around them. As a result, you feel enmeshed in this film. You're there in the jungle. Among the ruins. Floating through the rivers. Though this might not have been the intention, after watching this film, it made me want to travel to Central America to take in these beautiful sights. The more I think of it, right down to the last scene, the similarities to LOST IN TRANSLATION are pretty shocking. Edwards has made a totally different movie, but if you go into this film, I dare you not to see some of the similarities especially in the end.
If you've been paying attention to this review, you'll see that I didn't gush over the blood and guts or the alien design or anything like that. This isn't that movie. In fact, aside from the monsters being the backdrop of this film, I would hesitate to call this a horror film, despite the title. It is a superbly looking, superbly acted, superbly directed film, but those of you looking for space battles, chest bursting aliens, and over the top gore are going to be disappointed. But I would much rather see this type of film because it's a wonderful change of pace for the genre. The creature designs are impressive, though at times, I found myself straining to see some of it due to the amount of darkness, but again, the tentacled-beasties aren't the point here.
Some of the best horror films out there aren't horror films at all. Here, the monsters are just as much set-pieces as the jungle and burned out buildings. What makes MONSTERS so good is that it has characters you care about and it makes you cringe when they are put in peril. MONSTERS is definitely worth checking out in theaters, if and when they stop taking up theater-space with pap like SAW, that is.
Directed by Anthony G. Sumner
Written by Anthony G. Sumner, Eric Richter, & Alan Rowe Kelly
Starring Kaylee Williams, Jack Guasta, & Toya Turner
Reviewed by Ambush Bug
Low budget horror is tough to review. But as the above review of MONSTERS proves, just because something doesn't rack in at a jillion million dollars, that doesn't mean it's not worth viewing. Looking back at some of my favorite horror films (NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, for instance, which makes a cameo in this film), the horror came from the creativity of the filmmakers not the budget and if the talent is there, it doesn't matter what style of camera was used or what the cost clocked in as. I've seen a ton of low budget horror of varying qualities and I will be the first to admit that a lot of horror is crap. But just because it's a cheaply made film, doesn't necessarily mean it's not good. Take SLICES OF LIFE for instance.
SLICES OF LIFE is an anthology (which is a subgenre of horror I can't get enough of), and as with most anthologies, some of the short stories are better than others. I have my favorite, but honestly, all of the shorts brought to life by these filmmakers are damn good and full of scares.
The first short, called "W.O.R.M." follows a nebbish computer nerd who dreams of greatness. As with many folks at the bottom of the totem pole in the business world, our nerd has a unique perspective of the company he works for which is trying to develop new modes of interactive technology. This short has a Cronenberg-feel as a virus spreads via email turning the users into the walking dead. There's an especially creepy sequence where our nerd has computer sex with another woman online and the keyboard and mouse turn into fleshy, sexual instruments. Early Cronenberg classics such as RABID, and VIDEODROME come to mind as obvious inspiration for this first bit. I'm all for new ways for the zombie plague to get around. Using the internet to spread the virus is something fun. Although using modern technology as a means to spread a virus has been done elsewhere (Stephen King's CELL comes to mind), this short was a great way to lead off the film and lets one know that they're in for a fun and gory ride.
Up next is "Amber Alert" which opens with a really chilling sequence involving a child abduction. The scene is well shot and amps up the tension but good in this story full of themes of the fear of children and the horrors of parenthood (themes also seen in the Cronenberg classic THE BROOD). The effects in this episode are especially chilling, as a pregnant woman is terrorized by visions of a ghostly little girl. This one was probably the scariest of the bunch, even though the ending is a bit predictable.
"Pink Snapper" is the next little goodie, a gory thriller that may have a few too many coincidences for my liking, but these types of things happen in stories like this. This story of a couple on the run after killing a cop. The couple stumbles across a home of what looks to be a serial killer, but nothing is what it seems in this one. Out of all of the shorts in this film, this has the best acting, and by far, the hottest cast for that matter (Daneen Melody and Judith Lesser both give pretty fantastic and sultry performances and even look good covered in blood, ai chi wha whaaa!). But when the red stuff starts splattering in this one, it doesn't stop. Hell, after watching this little twist on ALIEN, TEETH, and another Cronenberg classic SHIVERS, I felt I had to take a shower to wash away all of that blood.
As with all of the best anthologies, this one is tied together with a story that plays out in the final moments. In SLICES OF LIFE, it's tied together with a Barker-esque BOOKS OF BLOOD style story entitled "Sketcher" about a chick that wakes up with partial amnesia and keeps finding books made of flesh and blood. These creepy mid-segments are made creepier when older actress Helene Alter-Dyche steals the show as she throat-ily moans out sad songs and sips martinis in a nightgown and curlers. The actress adds a ick-factor that is pretty amazing.
Though a fair share of the folks in this film seem like non-actors or friends of the filmmakers (apart from the "Pink Snapper" sequence, that is), this film delivers on every other level. Even when some of the performances fall short, the filmmakers know how to make up for it by inducing scares and splattering bodily fluids around by the barrel-full. SLICES OF LIFE premiered at this year's Horror Society Film Festival in Chicago at the Portage Theater and I hear the film got a standing O. Chicago being my base of operations, I was fully intending on going, but I busted my ankle up pretty good and ended up on crutches and vicodin for Halloween, so I missed it. Too bad. I would have been right there among the standing had I been there. I'm glad I had a chance to check out SLICES OF LIFE though. It's a fun and gory anthology full of things that turn the stomach and tingle the spine.
More often than not, the more zeros in the budget equals the less actual frights. I'd much rather see my horror low budget and high in the fright factor than vice versa. MONSTERS and this film, SLICES OF LIFE give new meaning to the words "cheap thrills". I hope to see more horror films like them.
And finally, snap your bony fingers to this catchy little jingle from Zombina & the Skeletones…

by SINSHINE
I'm surprised that I've read zero reviews of Monsters that equate the themes portratyed to be similar to the on-going illegal alien dispute in the U.S. (ie: the location U.S./Mexico border, the Wall, the troops that guard the U.S. side and NOT the Mexican side, the fact that they couldn't just board a ferry/plane...they HAD to take a dangerous journey on foot, etc.) I felt it presented an arguement surrounding the debate, but failed to "take a stance" on it...which, perhaps was it's intention all along. Did nobody else see this in the film? Or was I reading too much into it?
Nov. 5, 2010, 11 a.m. CST
No, I'm pretty sure the Monsters are us
by doubleh55
Sinshine, you're not wrong. I think it's pretty clear that the Monsters in the title aren't the Aliens in the first place.
Nov. 5, 2010, 11:24 a.m. CST
@ doubleh55
by SINSHINE
I just found it interesting that we have two Americans (or was she British...I forget) trying to get BACK INTO the U.S. by illegally crossing the patrolled border. Begs the questions of what is an American (melting pot or not) and what is an alien. Furthermore, the last scenes certainly ask the question of WHY aliens are termed "illegal," I think. Good movie. Doesn't deserve the backlash it's getting from those wanting an actual "monster" movie.
Nov. 5, 2010, 11:42 a.m. CST
Sure you could argue that...
by Ambush Bug
the MONSTERS refer to the humans rather than the Aliens, but really aside from one guy profiting from the transport of humans across the infected zone, the rest of the people represented in MONSTERS are actually good folks. The soldiers are doing their jobs, the townspeople are charming and more than willing to offer food, clothing, supplies to those traveling across the infected zone, even the young couple are represented as flawed sad individuals, but are far from monsters.

 I just don't think it applies here as much as say, THE WALKING DEAD where the title is definitely referring to the survivors.
Nov. 5, 2010, 11:55 a.m. CST
Are the Monsters Montster?
by SINSHINE
Trying to remember, but do the actual aliens actually HARM anything purposely? They seem more curious than anything else and the Earth's population are the monsters in terms of their mindset of attack=defense. Definitely some layers to this film and is making me question my original thoughts on it.
Nov. 5, 2010, 12:18 p.m. CST
Its funny
by Series7
Pretty much Dish and Direct TV had HD Net Movies played the week they preimiered Monsters. So if you weren't watching that you missed it.
 I caught monsters and it was ok. The worst aspect of the movie are the Monsters because there are only there to serve the purpose of the script. They aren't defined well enough to make you feel actual terror or fear for the main characters.
Nov. 5, 2010, 3:38 p.m. CST
Saw Monsters last night... I give it a 'Meh'
by Scopa
I was interested the entire time, but the end was disappointing and overall the entire movie felt like a subplot to a larger story... and I wanted to know the larger story. Not even close to District 9.

Monsters actually cost $250K, which is still actually amazing
by Andrew David
The $15K rumour is ludicrous. The air fares alone to get the four UK crew and two actors to South America and back would cost more than half that. Gareth was interviewed and this has been revealed but the media like the sensational 15K rumour. You shouldn't report it as fact -- do some checking next time please as you are representing a good site. Having said that the film is an incredible achievement. But as someone here said, it's not about monsters and it's only being marketed that way but the film company to maximise profits. It's a road movie, a love story and a great character piece. Most here will enjoy it for what it is, so go see it. This guy, like Blomkamp will be big news in future.

Wednesday was the perfect day for golf. The weather was absolutely perfect, warm weather with a light breeze. Fall has definitely begun in New Jersey. The scent of change in the seasons is a reminder that it is time to return to hockey.
Every year, prior to training camp, the Devils alumni host a charity golf tournament to benefit various charities and scholarship programs. Devils alumni, current players, management, and coaching staff participate in the event, which brings in thousands of dollars.
While many of the writers headed back to their offices before the first tee, I stayed the entire day at the Upper Montclair Country Club, running around the golf course in a golf cart, snapping photographs of the Devils, coaches and alumni.
Stopping at each of the pars, you learn a few things…like what everyone did over the summer, who is horrible at the game of golf, and what everyone is talking about.
Sheldon Souray
A topic of surprise, bright and early on a Wednesday morning, was the future of defenseman Sheldon Souray. A few of his old teammates were shocked to learn on Tuesday that he was not invited to Oilers camp.
Souray's future is in limbo. He decided to head to LA to visit his children before his future is decided. One of his former Devils teammates gave him a call on Tuesday after learning what happened and reported that Souray had no idea what was going to happen.
This past June, when I interviewed Souray, he was very vocal about being traded away from the Oilers. Throughout the summer, the Oilers tried to grant him that wish by actively seeking to trade him, but there were many issues involved in orchestrating that trade.
While the world awaited the Ilya Kovalchuk decision, other hot, younger defensemen were on the market for a much cheaper price than Souray. Teams were snatching them up as quickly as possible. Tomas Kaberle's name also surfaced as trade bait out of Toronto, but it didn't amount to anything. None of these defensmen were expected to command a cap hit of $5.4 million over the next two seasons, like Souray. Throw in the fact that Souray hasn't been in a game in nine months.
Yes, he's a hard sell for the Oilers to trade to another team right now. What are they to do?
Interestingly enough, discussion of re-entry waivers came up on the golf course yesterday. As in, the only way this will work is if he's put on re-entry waivers. Now, you should be asking why the Devils players are talking about Souray on re-entry waivers.
There is talk that three players will be moved during training camp to get the Devils under cap. Who those players are, we can only guess. No one, not even coach John MacLean, knows. But it almost seems like a trade for Souray would work for the Devils.
Souray, a former Devil, would be amongst the many players that returned to the place where it all began for their professional hockey careers. He started his career as a Devil. He could end his career as a Devil. Back in June, when we spoke about this possibility, he had many great things to say about his former club. He even mentioned that he had spoken to his old teammate, Jason Arnott, right after he was traded to New Jersey.
With this being the final years of Martin Brodeur's legacy, along with the return of Arnott, it would make sense that their old buddy should return to where it all began so that they could end their careers together. The Devils are in need of another defenseman, they need to lose three players to get under cap, and the Oilers are looking to rid themselves of their problem. Edmonton may even be in the market to remove him completely from the Western Conference.
Back in June, Souray didn't think coming back to the Devils would be such a bad idea. But back in July, and all the way through September, the Devils were focused on re-signing Kovalchuk. Another big contract like Souray's was not an option at the time. Until now.
Souray to the Devils makes a lot of sense for the Arnott crowd. His old teammates want him back. The Oilers need to get rid of him. They're getting closer to doing whatever it takes to rid themselves of this issue, even if that means re-entry waivers and taking on half of his salary.
The Looming Trade
The future of the Devils is a time of uncertainty.
While some commented on how strange it was that the Devils were in the news the entire summer for the first time ever, they were glad that it was over with. They don't blame Kovalchuk as being the guy that is the cause behind three of their friends/teammates being traded. They are happy (and relieved) that he is a member of their squad. Being involved in a trade is part of the job. It's always shocking when it happens, but it is the nature of the business.
MacLean has given a definite as far as who will be on the left wing this season: Zach Parise, Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias. Any additional information (such as complete lines), the coach won't reveal, and rightly so. He needs to see which players work well together as a unit before completely assigning a line.
This is also a great opportunity for the young guys to prove their worth. They have to prove they are worthy of a spot on the roster. With the loss of three players in the upcoming weeks, that means there are potential spots available.
Vladimir Zharkov, who did an excellent job in the minors under MacLean, will still have to win his spot this season. MacLean said that Zharkov was one of his better players, but his lack of confidence in the NHL has prohibited him from scoring more goals. If he can regain his confidence as an NHL player (not a minor leaguer), then he will be a phenomenal addition to the roster.
As for the only name to pop up as heading to the trade block, Dainius Zubrus is the only sticking point. He knows that his name is on the trade block. Only time will tell if he is actually moved.
What Happened to the Summer?
Catching up on how the summers were spent, a few Devils shared what took place this summer…
Parise usually heads somewhere tropical when he goes on vacation each year. This summer, he headed to St. John, Virgin Islands. The rest of his summer was spent back home in Minnesota. He returned to New Jersey in time to attend the US Open (one of the major highlights of his summer).
David Clarkson spent some time in Las Vegas with Brodeur, Yann Danis and a few other good friends, before he got married in July. He also did something amazing…he did a ride with Lance Armstrong for charity.
Brodeur not only spent some time in Las Vegas (for the NHL Awards), but he also spent some time up at his summer home in Lac-Sainte-Marie, Quebec.
Johan Hedberg has been in New Jersey for over a month, getting used to his new home and surroundings.
Who's the Better Golfer?
The worst Devils golfer is Parise.
"Golf is not my forté," he told me right before he putted the golf ball two yards away from the hole.
The best golfer is Arnott. His group came in first place, Colin White's group came in second, followed by Brian Rolston's group in third place (after a tiebreaker).
David Clarkson had the longest drive at 295 yards. MacLean followed with a 285-yard drive.
Training camp for the Devils veterans begins on Friday. Their first pre-season game takes place this coming Tuesday in Philadelphia, against the Flyers. Their first home pre-season game will be on Saturday, September 25 against the New York Rangers.

Kendra Wilkinson dealth with post partum depression after the birth of her son. Kendra gave birth to her first baby with husband Hank Baskett back in December. While she has opened up to several magazines about her desire to lose weight and get back into shape, she told this week's OK! that she also suffered from a pretty horrible bout of depression.
more Kendra after the hop…
Kendra says it got so bad she felt like she had nothing to life for. As OK! reports:
"After giving birth, I never brushed my hair, my teeth, or took a shower. I looked in the mirror one day and was really depressed. I thought, "Look at me!" I had this glamorous life in L.A., and now [in Indianapolis] I didn't…a couple of times, I even said, "I just have nothing to live for."
Kendra also talks about having a hard time adapting to the snow and cold in Indianapolis, and how she went through a pretty severe California-withdrawal seeing as she couldn't hike or hang at the beach anymore.

Life at Home: Ways To Enjoy a Grown-Up "Snow Day" Anytime
During the first half of my life growing up in New York, snow days meant waking up early, gripping the radio in hope that my school's name would be called out so I would get to spend the day playing in the snow with my friends.
The second half of my life has been on the West Coast where snow and winter became foreign words. Until last year that is when I moved to the Pacific Northwest and entered the world of seasons once more.
Now Seattle has seasons alright, but a snowy winter isn't really part of the picture. When it does snow it's only for a couple of days and usually not very deep, but because the city, the cars and the people are not equipped to handle it at all, the entire city turns into one long, extended snow day.
So now that I have the novelty of dealing with limited snow storms, I get to re-invent what a snow day is for me as an adult. Now after all, it is a snow day so I have kept it about fun, excitement and play, just with a grown-up twist. It's an unexpected day off, so give yourself the day and have a little fun; which is something you can do anytime - winter weather absolutely optional!
My snow day(s) to-do list is as follows:
1. Bake a batch of cookies. I only made a half a batch this time because me and an entire batch of cookies stuck in the same house would not be a good thing.
2. Sit by the fire or cuddle up in a warm blanket with a book and a nice warm drink or a bowl of piping hot soup.
3. Throw in a movie or catch up on a series you've been wanting to see (I started American Horror Story).
4. Make an easy DIY craft you haven't had the time to get to.
5. Take a hot bath with some salts or lavender oil and catch up on some of your favorite podcasts.
6. Walk to the nearest restaurant for brunch and a mimosa.
7. Invite friends over in walking distance and play a few games.
And if it really has snowed, you can fully indulge:
8. Bundle up and take a stroll in the snow with a steaming mug of tea or coffee in tow.
9. Find the nearest steep hill or closed street and go sledding. If you don't have a sled you can create an easy make-shift one. Or try cross-country skiing on city sidewalks (I saw that this winter for the first time).
10. Make fresh snow ice cream.

love these tips Alysha! thank you :)
My neighborhood in Philadelphia has the best snow day activity ever. Sledding down the Art Museum steps! The improvised cardboard sleds make it even more fun.
Snowshoeing is the BEST, but if there's not enough snow for that, just walking in all that white loveliness is excellent, too. I love snowflakes on my eyelashes and face and the quietness caused by the muffling effect of snow.
Also, I like making fresh pasta and meatballs when I have an afternoon in the kitchen on a snowy day. I always make enough to freeze a couple of meals and eat one that day. Comfort food plus, 2 easy meals in the freezer for non-snowy days.
We haven't had a real snow day in New England this winter and I miss them. (I can't believe I just said that).
Oh, to have *anything* within walking distance, let alone friends and/or restaurants. Stupid suburbia...
The perfect snow day, after already waking up at 7 am to discover the office is closed:
1. A mug of piping hot tea in bed, listening to the CBC (Canadian public broadcaster)
2. A leisurely walk through snow-covered Toronto - the only time the city is quiet mid-day, with window shopping.
3. Return home and curl up on the couch or in bed with a good book for a few hours.
4. Guilty pleasure movie!
1. Look at the snow from the window w/ a cup of tea (call in a personal/work from home day-NYC doesnt really close for weather-as I quickly learned when moving here)
2. Throw on a few layers & snow boots, and grab my camera. Brooklyn is beautiful right after a snow (and I mean RIGHT after, you cant wait too long)
3. Walk to a local restaurant for breakfast & sit in the window w/ a book and mulled cider.
4. Pick up some items to make a dinner of comfort food.
5. Invite a few walking distance friends over OR invite one special friend.
6. Make a yummy dinner & dessert
7. Watch a movie
8. Cuddle up
Take you dog to play in the snow. If you don't have a dog, borrow one. So.much.joy.
Just back to work today after two snow days in a row! I read a book, watched "Storm of the Century" (while it was snowing) and made fudge. Friends came over yesterday and we visited and snacked (on fudge) thru the afternoon. I love snow days!!!
I used to take snow days - at least once a month - but called them "Mental Health" days. So many workers today don't utilize their vacation/sick days until they burn out. Taking one day to recharge is NOT a bad thing; trust me, the world will still spin without you for a day.
Well put Ernio. I think a Holga camera is the perfect tool for a snow day.
I feel your pain, Kealoha. I'm so ready to get out of the suburbs.
Hmmm. I once knew some teachers who took "snow day/ mental health days" and were fired for being spotted ice fishing when they lied about being sick. All depends on how your benefits work, but in many jobs (especially public service), you'd better use personal days or vacation days and not SAY you are sick if you are not, if you want to keep working.
The first thing *I* do if given a very rare and real Snow Day (and believe me when I say, my library's Director HATES to close the Library) is go back to bed for at least another hour. (I usually can't find out we're closed until I'm starting to get ready to leave, so STAYING in bed isn't an option, darn it!) After that, reading, noshing, crafting, and DVDs are high on my list of amusements. (IN-doors where it's warm!)
Everyone loves a snow day!
Very well written to share our best days of life.Moments become more touching when you spend them with your loved ones....!!!!
My favorite Seattle moment was when it snowed last year for a couple days straight. I was living in Capitol Hill, with plenty of bars and eateries within a block or two, and I will never forget how people flocked to the streets that night! Strangers spontaneously gathered to help push cars up the hill, people went sledding on cardboard box pieces, and the bars filled up with regulars. My now-fiance and I got to spend two whole weekdays together (rare!) since work was canceled. We're stuck in LA now and my god, I miss Seattle weather. Rainy with a chance of snow beats the heck out of a 70 degree CA winter
How I miss snow days. I was brought up in Germany and I am living in New Zealand nowadays, first in Auckland, which is subtropical and now in a ski resort in the South Island. In many ways it's wonderful because I see snow around me on the mountains in winter but it very rarely snows in the village. How I would love to wake up to snow. What a wonderful excuse to just hunker down with comfort food.
This mild winter makes me so sad there are no snow days. Of course being an adult, snow days aren't nearly as fun since public transportation still works and offices still expect you to be there - and even when you can't be there you can still work from home thanks to the wonders of technology!
My first snow day was in Punta Arenas, Chile. The snow froze the pipes and we had no running water. We couldn't use the bathroom, shower, or wash our hands. It was a Sunday so we couldn't get anyone to come fix the pipes. We spent the day freezing our asses off and bitching.
Snow Day? As if. My office opens business as usual for anything less than 30 inches on the ground.
What is that acid green double coffee press?!?!? Gorgeous!
I definitely miss snow days. Since my city gets proper winter all season, there's pretty much no amount of snow that will close offices. Schools, of course, still get snow days. We did have a lot of freezing rain though this year, which is much more dangerous. I took one of those days off by working from home. In between emails, I finished off a few sewing projects, and popped in a favourite movie. The best part about snow days is not having to get dressed for work!
Like KD_MUSE, I live in a perpetually snowy area. In fact, in my small town Montana recorded weather history the only day of the year we've never had snow is August 17th. About 15 years ago I'm told the 4th of July fireworks was SNOWED OUT! They had to wait to the 6th before it was dry enough to lite off the fireworks.
I grew up in the Midwest where we would get a snow day every other year or so and they were the most magical days of play, building igloos & snowmen, massive neighborhood snowball fights until we were so exhausted and cold we would collapse in front of the TV all cuddled up under fluffy blankets our hands wrapped around mugs of hot cocoa. Ahh, those were the days! :)
Is a snow-day like when they let us leave high school an hour early or else swim in the pool because it was over the old 100 Farenheit? Or is it like Christmas day in the middle of summer when we still get cards with snowmen and I display my snowmen candles and soft toys? No? A few flakes of snow in the hills makes the news here. I feel so left out.
Like Lili09 I miss snow this winter! Hopefully it's just a strange Nina / AO pattern and not, you-know-what creeping in on us. We still had some very cold days though, so we enjoy acting like our cats and hunkering down for the day (along with movies and hot chocolate).
Mmmm snow ice cream. That brings me back!
Anyone know where I can get a french press like that from?

Mesothelioma Legal Process
Getting Help
Because of the power and financial resources of some of the many companies and employers responsible for asbestos exposure, it's imperative that you seek qualified legal representation immediately after receiving diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease or illness, such as mesothelioma. Our mesothelioma lawyers concentrate on such cases, and have more than enough means and ability to try your case in a courtroom, though many of our clients settle before or during the trial.
Our attorneys handle cases all across the country, and we have an excellent track record of receiving favorable verdicts on our clients' behalf. We work diligently from our Texas and California-based offices to handle your case wherever it may be.
We understand that battling mesothelioma is an expensive process, and would never expect our clients to spend their money on legal fees while medical bills are piling up. That's why we are a contingency-based law firm that will only charge you a fee if we receive a successful settlement or verdict for your case. You'll pay nothing from consultation to trial until you receive a judgment or settlement for your loss and damages. So don't let your financial circumstances keep you from holding negligent companies responsible for their actions.
Once we examine your case, our lawyers will thoroughly inspect every last detail using a team of investigators.
Upon determining the correct source or sources of your asbestos exposure, we'll file a lawsuit against each responsible source.
You can expect to wait up to a month and a half to receive a formal response from each defendant. At this time, we'll plan a deposition, which allows you to present facts about your health and losses. We'll film the deposition, and the defendants will have the option of asking questions at this time as well. Though the deposition is not a trial, a recording of the deposition can serve as your testimony in trial in the event that you are unable to attend or testify.
Once a trial date is set, we'll build-up a solid case with the full intention of trying it until we reach a verdict. In addition to your testimony, we may ask others who are close to you or who are related to your case to testify. For example, we may ask your family doctor to testify to your health prior to developing mesothelioma, and we may ask your oncologist to testify to your current health and prognosis. We'll use these testimonies along with case evidence to prove that you have suffered both financial and non-monetary losses.
Following your trial, you'll receive a case verdict. If the verdict is in your favor, you'll receive a judgment determined by the court. If the court does not rule in your favor or you feel you've received an inadequate judgment, you'll have the opportunity to appeal your case. Our firm also has an experienced appeals team that can help you move forward with this process if you so choose.
Any point in this process from start to finish may become interrupted if you receive and accept a settlement from a defending company. A settlement is typically an amount of money offered to you to avoid going to trial. Though we may advise you on settlement offers according to our expertise, whether or not you take a settlement is up to you.
