Seattle Seahawks HEADLINES
The stakes will be a tad lower, but the opponent the same. The Seattle Seahawks will open the 2014 preseason by traveling to Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium for a rematch of Super Bowl XLVIII with the Denver Broncos in Week 1 of the NFL preseason.
The NFL released all the preseason schedules today. Heres the Seahawks schedule:
That's a throw Russell Wilson has to make.
Friday's gathering at Seahawks headquarters wasn't as much about a new contract as it was a renewal of vows.

The Bears announced this morning that they signed DE Jared Allen to a four-year deal.
Scratch another off the Seattle Seahawks' free-agent list.
As 350 or so athletes spent Saturday at the Seahawks' training facility – chasing their dreams in sprints and leaps – it was probably more about aspiration than perspiration.
Seattle Sounders FC shed its training wheels Thursday, announcing that its business operations will become independent of the Seattle Seahawks starting April 30.
Thursday, free-agent defensive end Jared Allen made his second visit to Seattle Seahawks headquarters in less than a week, yet he left without a deal.
Two of the best moments in Adam Nortons life happened the week the Seattle Seahawks made history. For a lifelong fan, nothing could top Super Bowl XLVIII.

The News Tribune has confirmed the Seahawks have re-signed Steven Hauschka to a three-year deal.

Until the end of his only season with the Seattle Seahawks, I had a difficult time with O'Brien Schofield.

My favorite memory of an extra-point kick attempt might be my only memory of an extra-point kick attempt.
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner says he's been reinstated by the NFL.
Horseshoed once again by television cameras, the light bounced off Kam Chancellor's earring and he smiled.
The Super Bowl XLVIII champion Seattle Seahawks have parted ways with two members of their title-winning team, releasing oft-injured wide receiver Sidney Rice and defensive lineman Red Bryant on Friday.
Red Bryants gigantic shoulders would rise and fall when he turned loose a laugh that started in his equally robust belly. As defensive captain the last two seasons, he was the Seahawks old soul, delivering pre- and postgame speeches in his Jasper, Texas baritone.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Texas Rangers have no plans to put Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson at the plate.
As an NFL prospect, Russell Wilson attracted scouts' attention with his disproportionately large hands.
Next to getting great news about your team, the best thing a fan can hear is bad news about a rival.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll explained the value of all the stop-watch squinting and player interrogations at the annual NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
The Seattle Seahawks have a historically daunting issue in front of them: repeating.
INDIANAPOLIS — The sun was out and nonsense in full swing Friday morning at the NFL combine.
Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Thursday that re-signing unrestricted free agent defensive lineman Michael Bennett is a priority.
INDIANAPOLIS — Looking down from the podium, Austin Seferian-Jenkins was finally here. He was surrounded by the NFL logo at the NFL combine. The place he had always worked to be at since he was a kid in Gig Harbor.
Player arrivals began Wednesday and continue through Saturday. Workouts start Saturday and go until Tuesday. They will be aired on the NFL Network.
Thumbs have been tested, batteries charged. The clicks of a stopwatch will become benefits or boulders over the next several days in Indianapolis.
The Seahawks have signed wide receiver Chris Matthews to a 2014 future contract, the team announced today.
When Malcolm Smith walks into his Seattle digs, two footballs sit on a table near the door: the one he intercepted to seal the NFC title game and the one he returned 69 yards for a pick-six in the Super Bowl.
Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Champs Richard Sherman and MVP Malcolm Smith will appear Tuesday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The show airs at 11:35 p.m. on ABC (KOMO channel 4 in Puget Sound.)
Jake and Kim Greger from Puyallup knew getting into downtown Seattle on Wednesday would be a nightmare.
The 7:20 a.m. boat came and went Wednesday with no room to spare. Hundreds of undaunted Seattle Seahawk fans were left at the Bremerton Ferry Terminal just before sunrise, layered against the chill with 12th Man spirit on their sleeves and on their lips.
Peter Anspach and about 700,000 other people werent going to miss the biggest party in Seattle history.
Give or take a million people, this was a typical Seattle Seahawks event: It included an overwhelming expression of emotion and an unprecedented connection between the team and their fan base along with whatever slice of Theater of the Absurd that running back Marshawn Lynch can contribute.
Parade over, stadium celebration over, players out. The offseason has begun.
Did the Seattle Seahawks victory parade inspire kids and teachers to play hooky Wednesday?
The Seahawks and their faithful celebrated a Super Bowl championship with an hours-long parade which wound its way through the streets of Washington's biggest city on Wednesday.
It was harder for Seahawks fans to get to the victory parade in downtown Seattle this morning than it was for the Denver Broncos to get into the end zone during the big game. Seattle police estimated 700,000 people showed up along the 2-mile route that will end at CenturyLink Field.
Just days after the organization's first Super Bowl win, eyes are already turning to next season. The world champion Seattle Seahawks will parade through the heart of Seattle on Wednesday afternoon. A handful of the revelers might not be back for next season, during which Seattle is already the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl in 2015.
Hundreds of thousands are expected to flood downtown Seattle Wednesday for the much-anticipated Seahawks victory parade.
Snowfall started early Monday and continued throughout the day, causing traffic jams and flight cancellations for Seahawks fans trying to get home after the teams big win.
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Sunday's Super Bowl matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos was watched by an average audience of 111.5 million people, more than any television program in U.S. history.
Pete Carroll finished the week undefeated and untied in press conferences. As he has been all week, the Seahawks coach was again a media all-star Monday. This time, he was standing next to the shiny Super Bowl trophy carrying the name Vince Lombardi.
We've all heard the idiom "sly as a fox" - a nod to just how smart and clever those animals can be.
The Seahawks released information regarding a parade on Wednesday.
There were several:
Two years and five days after throwing his last collegiate pass, Russell Wilson has as many Super Bowl titles as Peyton Manning.
The postgame news conference of Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith was interrupted Sunday by a man who called for an investigation into the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Healthy after August hip surgery – and finally cleared to play after suffering a concussion in the divisional playoffs – Percy Harvin showed in Super Bowl XLVIII what all the fuss was about.
The first snap of the game was errant, leading to the quickest score in Super Bowl history. From there, things continued to be historic, hectic and down-right strange in the opening 15 minutes.
Richard Sherman praised Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos' record-setting offense in the days leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII, but he did have one critique of Manning.
Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse had big nights during the season's biggest game, helping them shed the title of overlooked or underrated.
The Seahawks saw this coming. The sign, literally, was on the wall.
Malcolm Smith didn't mind the notoriety that eluded him after his end-zone interception in the NFC championship assured the Seattle Seahawks of a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII.
Defense wins championships.
Share with us your elation and your thoughts on the game. Here are a few questions for you to answer.
The Seattle Seahawks rode the NFL's best defense to the franchise's first Super Bowl title.
Seahawks 43, Broncos 8. The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl XLVIII champions, delivering the downtrodden sports region its first title in 35 years and the organization its first since its inception in 1976 in its second Super Bowl appearance.
The News Tribune asked many celebrities in New York City who they thought would prevail in the Super Bowl matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.
At some point in the future, President Russell Wilson will look back at the Seahawks' 34-24 win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII as the moment when he realized he had a future in the national spotlight.
Once the singing stops and the ball is rested on a tee for the kickoff of Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium, the first title game in league history between the team that led the NFL in points and yards against the team that allowed the fewest points and yards will be a kick from beginning.
'Pot Roast' is on the Seahawks' radar. Terrance 'Pot Roast' Knighton has excelled in the playoffs and made the signature play of the Broncos' AFC Championship Game win over the New England Patriots when he chucked Tom Brady to the ground.
Byron Maxwell will start in the Super Bowl on Sunday, a scenario the third-year player out of Clemson could not fathom when the season began.
I had Seattle at 13-3 after the regular season. I had Seattle winning two playoff games at home. I precisely anticipated, five months ago, Seattle competing in the Super Bowl for the second time. The only thing I missed was the opponent.
Statistics say Super Bowl XLVIII will pair Denver's top-ranked offense against Seattle's top-ranked defense.
Denver is pretty tough to hate. But it's hardly impossible to hate Denver.
Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones on Saturday was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first year of eligibility after a 13-season career in which he was voted to nine Pro Bowls and earned seven All-Pro honors.
Walter Junior Jones simply made the best pass rushers in the NFL disappear. He did it with a surprising grace that belied his power, and with an ease that almost unfairly diminished a generation of the games best pass rushers.
Football fan or not, Seahawks Bingo is a game everyone can play.
Sgt. 1st Class Troy Christy is getting a lot of mileage out of the 12th Man flag he brought on his overseas deployment with the Washington National Guard.
Like prizefighters posing one last time before a big fight, Pete Carroll and John Fox shared a microphone Friday with the Lombardi Trophy sitting between them.
Because of geography and the relative newness of the franchise the Hawks never will be as popular as, say, the Cowboys, Giants, Steelers or Bears. But the team's brand is expanding.
This is not a revamped Pete Carroll, who changed his ways and is back in New Jersey for redemption.
With a video camera strapped to his chest so he could record the spectacle that was Tuesday's Super Bowl media day, Walter Thurmond explained he wanted to forget the past, enjoy the present and focus only on the near future.
Doug Baldwin was another of those prospects who proved to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll that even the most thorough scouting and exhaustive player evaluations suffer from a major shortcoming. Nobody can see inside the player.
Pete Carroll and John Fox met the media one last time on Friday and both coaches seemed at ease just a few days before Sunday's Super Bowl showdown.
For an 11-month-old baby, Lucas Vukelic gets a lot of high-fives in public. Thats because a Tacoma business has been turning infant medical helmets such as Lucas into coveted Seattle Seahawks attire.
A pending felony for an alleged drunken 100 mile per hour police chase through downtown Olympia in a Ferrari is not going to stop Shaun Goodman from going to the Super Bowl.
For Seahawks linebackers coach Ken Norton, Jr., the New Kids versus Old School matchup on Sunday kindles comparisons to Super Bowl XXVII game between his 1992 Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills, then a perennial AFC powerhouse competing in its third of four consecutive Super Bowls.
Hordes of media descended upon Midtown Manhattan and North Jersey this week hoping for a little Richard Sherman trash talk.
This week, Denver Broncos players have repeatedly stressed that their ability to walk away as winners Sunday is directly tied to their ability to contain the Seahawks' running game.
Collecting checks from an NFL team makes a man a professional. But it takes more to be considered a "pro."
As is the case with most other Seattle Seahawks games, one man will step up and offer the final inspirational words immediately before the team takes the field to play in Super Bowl XLVIII.
There is no bigger issue for the Seahawks at Super Bowl XLVIII than trying to knock Peyton Manning to the MetLife Stadium turf. Short of that, they have to move, disrupt or at least come close to him to snap the tempo of the Broncos' passing game.
Legacy, the Lombardi Trophy and the weather.
Here it is from Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post:
The football neophyte, who will remain nameless and shameless, had a quick question for her colleague, a former sportswriter.
Whether you're a fair-weather Seahawks fan or lifelong true believer, there are certain things that everyone must know about the team. Consider this Seahawks 101.
The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos both had their first full practices of Super Bowl week on Wednesday.
The Seattle Seahawks worked fast during their first practice of Super Bowl week while running back Marshawn Lynch had a scheduled day of rest.
Sometimes Dan Quinn puts on mitts like a boxing trainer, and encourages his Seahawk defenders to punch him.
It doesn't bother Malcolm Smith that his Seattle Seahawks' legacy could be the answer to a trivia question.
For the first time since the Seahawks landed in New Jersey, questions about prior suspensions for substance-abuse and performance-enhancing drugs came up.
Maybe the SeaPope should have blessed the double-decker bus before it left San Francisco.
The differences between Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson are expansive. Height, experience, style, upbringing.
A few of the quick thoughts from Pete Carroll:
Beast Mode turned into least mode on Tuesday when Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch begrudgingly spent less than seven minutes with Ines Sainz and the extras for "World War Z The Sequel" at Super Bowl Media Day.
Perhaps it's apropos that the cast of "Jersey Boys," the Broadway musical smash, will be hopping the Hudson to perform at the NFL's Super Bowl XLVIII Tailgate Party this weekend.
About 45 minutes into a Super Bowl media day session fit for a Times Square billboard – "Richard Sherman: The One and Only" – the best cornerback in football was reminded that he had yet to boast about how he is the best cornerback in football.
Situated at podium 17, the last of the official designations, Percy Harvin talked Tuesday. A lot.
Four faces were projected on massive screens above Super Bowl media day floor in the Prudential Center on Tuesday. None were Chris Clemons.
First there was Beast Quake. And on Tuesday came Beast Quote. No, it wasn't anything earth-shaking, but Marshawn Lynch talked to the media. For six minutes and 21 seconds.
A sampling of questions asked at Tuesday's Super Bowl media day.
Doug Baldwin gave a succinct explanation of what everyone seems to agree has become a unique spectacle in the ramp-up to the Super Bowl.
It's Media Day at Super Bowl XLVIII. Here's what you can expect from our News Tribune team covering the game -- and the hubbub before it.
Forget David versus Goliath, Super Bowl XLVIII is shaping up a battle between two giants -- Denver's top-ranked offense against the "The Legion of Boom" and Seattle's No. 1 defensive unit.
Super Bowl week is really just a big party celebrating America's favorite distraction, professional football.
Though he wasn't present, Marshawn Lynch was a topic Monday.
Michael Robinson walked slowly off the turf at CenturyLink Field following the Seahawks' NFC title game win against the San Francisco 49ers. He wasn't hurt. He hadn't been defeated. Quite the opposite.
Brad Mayne trusts the next football game played in a stadium under his purview, Super Bowl XLVIII, begins with fewer hitches than the first one did.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck passed through radio row on Monday and had nothing but love if not a prediction for the Super Bowl for his former team.
Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor hoped to change Seahawks football. They might end up changing the game.
Think you're a big-time Seattle Seahawks fan? Prove it with The News Tribune's "Test Your Bird Brain" Seahawks quiz.
Police and their cars lined the streets awaiting the arrival of the NFC champions. Packed into buses, the Seahawks pulled up to the Westin hotel in Jersey City just as they did for the Dec. 15 game against the New York Giants.
Jermaine Kearse went from overshadowed by a heralded teammate at Lakes High School to the University of Washington, where he was criticized for dropping passes. He then went undrafted in the NFL and was a longshot to make the Seattle Seahawks roster.
I'll admit it, I've always wanted to do a maritime dateline.
Thousands of fans showed up to line South 188th Street in SeaTac on Sunday to see off the Seahawks as the team headed to the airport. Fans lined the street for miles to show their support and excitement, decked out in 12th-man gear.
Mike Holmgren used to kid news photographers that the only pictures they chose were of his occasional emotional detonations, often screaming at an official, veins popping with rage.
Ronnie Lott tried to act normal when walking into the Silverdome in Pontiac, Mich., in 1982 for Super Bowl XVI.
To those Seahawks fans still upset over the officiating in Super Bowl XL, the message from the players on that team is that, VIII years later, it's time to move on.
On Jan. 1, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings played an outdoor hockey game during a blizzard at Michigan Stadium.

Should I use a property management company?
Even if you're a professional landlord, devoting 100 percent of your time to overseeing your rental properties, there comes a point when, if you want to expand your business any further, you'll need outside help. Many investors with growing portfolios of rental properties eventually decide to hire property management companies, especially once they start to add multifamily dwellings to their holdings.
Hiring a property management company to help you manage your multifamily rentals can allow you to take a step back from the day-to-day operations of your business and focus on more strategic decisions, such as which new investment opportunities make sense, whether you want to build a recognizable brand for your business, and how to upgrade and price your rentals to compete in tight markets.
Professional property managers bring a deep knowledge of the local rental market, as well as efficient systems for dealing with every aspect of maintaining a rental property, to the table. The right property management company can give you the tools you need to expand your business while increasing tenant satisfaction, and boosting your ROI.
What should I look for in a multifamily property manager?
Managing a single family home and managing an apartment building are similar in in terms of the ongoing tasks that need to be accomplished; the main difference is the scale of the project. While your average handyman with a good working knowledge of basic housing laws and any easy way with tenants may do just fine when it comes to managing a handful of single family homes, managing larger apartment buildings requires a higher level of organization in the form of many fine-tuned systems for handling common tasks.
With this in mind, here are some things you should look for in a property management company capable of managing an apartment complex:
- An on-staff crew of maintenance professionals
- The ability to place on-site managers as needed
- Computerized accounting and maintenance tracking systems
- Detailed seasonal maintenance plan
- Proven methods for keeping vacancies low
- Track record of profitably managing multifamily rentals
In addition, it's useful for multifamily property managers to understand current trends in home design, and to have the ability to manage renovations, as necessary, to keep your rental units looking fresh.
How can I find a property management company for my multifamily property?
At All Property Management, we make it easy to find the right property management company for your rental property, whether you're looking for someone to manage a single family home, multifamily complex, commercial propertyor a portfolio that includes all three. Just select the property type and fill in your rental's zip code to generate an instant list of property managers in your area. For best results, we recommend interviewing at least two or three companies.

I don't sew tunics often, because the length feels awkward to me. It seemed a good idea to try again; maybe I will like a tunic if I give it another try. Here is my version of the Style Arc Pleated Pia Top:
|I raised the neckline to make it peek-proof.
|I might make it even longer next time. After I've worn this
for a while, I'll know whether there are more tunics in my future.
|Guess I could add a center back seam
so I can do a sway back adjustment (to reduce
the folds at waistline). On the other hand,
maybe good enough is good enough.
As I altered the pattern, I did not take a lot of photos because I had a mild cold & lacked the energy for a full-blown alteration tutorial. I'll do it on another top soon. The fabric is a rayon knit jersey. I bought this piece at Mood Fabrics in NYC. It tested my patience (I find the slippery flimsiness a challenge) but it is a joy to wear.
Today is my favorite type of vacation day. I accrue enough vacation days that I can take the occasional off for errands and chores. It is a luxury to play housewife for the day.
Hope your day has a touch of luxury, too.

"Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve is not only a fantastic place to see wildlife, but a monument to the history and ingenuity of Neolithic man preserved through the amazing Sweet Track. It's a unique window to the past and a place everyone should try to visit."
Simon Clarke, Senior Reserve Manager
Where: Somerset
Main habitat: Peatland and reed beds
Why visit: Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve is a superb place to watch wildlife. This magnificent wetland reserve is managed by Natural England and covers over 500 ha at the heart of the Somerset Levels and Moors. It's an area that's steeped in history, and an atmospheric landscape of great skies and endless horizons.
Habitats include lush green wildflower meadows; still, dark ditches; damp, secretive fens, shady, wet fern woods; and open water, fringed with rustling reedbeds.
Marvel at the huge flocks of starlings coming into to roost in winter and the spring migration of hobbies arriving from tropical Africa. Shapwick Heath is also the location of the Neolithic Sweet Track, the oldest man-made routeway in Britain.
Star species: Otters, bitterns, marsh harriers
Access: There are eight trails across the reserve. The old railway track from Shapwick Road to Ashcott Corner is suitable for wheelchairs and great for cycling.
Other nearby attractions: The National Nature Reserves of Ham Wall (RSPB), Westhay Moor (Somerset Wildlife Trust) and Shapwick Moor (Hawk and Owl Trust) are all within two miles of Shapwick.
For enquiries and further information contact 01458 860120 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Record breaking summer for Somerset's wetland birds
(5 September 2013) Celebrations as one of the West Country's premiere wetlands produces a bumper crop of rare birds.
"Thank you" to all the Shapwick Heath volunteers for over 2,000 hours of great white egret work
(10 October 2012) Over 40 volunteers recently joined Natural England Board Member Doug Hulyer at a barbecue to say thank you for their work on the great white egret project.

|| Norman Bates || Seventeen || Human || Bradley || Taken [ Me ]
Norman Bates is a smart, quietly funny, handsome and sometimes shy seventeen-year-old boy with an intensely close bond to his mother. Norman is resistant to starting over in a new town, but begins to change his mind as he begins to spread his wings. Prior to moving to Forks, Washington, Norman lived with his parents in Arizona. Norman was the one who found his father's dead body in their garage. He calls his mother in a panic and mourns his death.
|| Emma Decody || Seventeen || Human || Norman || Taken [ Roraღ™ ]
Emma Decody is a quirky, pretty, intelligent seventeen-year-old girl who has cystic fibrosis and an "old soul". She gets an almost immediate crush on Norman and is always showing up on his doorstep. She lives with her dad above an antique shop that he runs. They migrated from Manchester, U.K. after her father quit his job as a professor to focus on taking care of her with her illness. Emma's life expectancy is 27 years, but she is currently on a waiting list for a lung transplant.
|| Dylan Massett || Twenty -One || Human || -- || Open
Dylan Massett is Norma's son by her first marriage and half-brother to Norman, Dylan is an edgy outsider in the Norma/Norman tea party. He's a lost soul and a drifter who finds himself by necessity, drifting back into the troubled lives of his mother and brother after failing to live independently. Dylan never had a good relationship with his mother, as apparently the last words he had told Norma was "Drop dead." Growing up he saw Norma had replace his father, John Massett, with Norman's father, Sam Bates, and has since been holding some bitter feelings towards his mother for driving his father away.
|| Bradley Martin || Seventeen || Human || Norman || Taken [ Tayla Preston ]
Bradley Martin is a beautiful, popular, affluent, seventeen-year-old girl who befriends Norman out of kindness, but is ultimately surprised to find herself drawn to him in other, deeper ways. She recently lost her father, and feels like Norman is the only one who understands her and how she is feeling through the tragedy, which causes her to feel more drawn to Norman.
[ Two Gifs ]
|| Full Name || Age || Species || Crush || Played By;
Short Bio [ Include Role, Personality, & Fears ]
|| DJ "Daniella Jeannette" Manson || Seventeen || Human || Dylan || Played By; Me
DJ Manson moved to Forks with her father a few weeks before Norman and his mother had came around, and instantly had a sort of vibe to stay away from Norman, so she is considered as Norman enemy. She had her suspicions about the town as well. DJ had moved for a fresh start, mostly because she was different. She saw things, things that were going to happen, and she also heard things, things that other people were saying in their heads, but other than that, she was kind, friendly, someone to feel comfortable with and have fun around. DJ was raised to be a strong girl, but she fears of death, tragedy, it's her weakness, especially since she's seen so much, and now she fears Norman, but she is somehow always involved with him.
|| Aaron Flix || Eighteen || Human || Crush || Played By; *Rora
Aaron Flix has lived in Forks all his life, and it's been a bit Chaotic. He is ready to move out and never look back. He met Norman at school and thought he was an okay guy. He befriended Norman, figuring the town had yet to taint him, plus, he thought it was cool he owned a motel. Aaron is afraid of being stuck in Forks for the rest of his life, that he will be forced to deal with all of this crap to no end. A lot of the time he comes off as cruel and rude, but that is just a shield.
|| Declan Oswald || Seventeen || Human || TBA || Played By; Tayla Preston
Declan Oswald is a loud and outgoing guy once you get to know him but he starts off quite shy who has lived in forks for a few years. He doesn't have many friends and his dad is one of the builders working on the Motel. Declan assists him and is also told to make Norman feel welcome, he is the first of his friends in tell. Declan has a fear of strangers as well as a fear of spiders so working in the run down Motel freaks him out a bit.

Yes you can. Thanks :]
Thanks, that's perfect!! :]
Please Join!
Yes, please! :DD
Yes of course, thanks so much! Do you mind playing Bradley as well?
Great, that's perfect. And sure, that would be great, nut only if you can handle four characters. :]
Lol! Oh Bradley is a girl to let you know :]
Okay, thanks again! :]
Lol, me too! We can kinda start now, if you don't mind being Dylan. If not, I'll take him :]
Alright cool! We can start now, if you'd like.
Awesome! We're gonna start where Norman first moves into town.
Norman looked over to his mother, smiling as he watched her tap her hand on the steering wheel to the music that blared from the radio. It was the first time he ever saw his mother with a smile on her face, or even glowing. He supposed the move was going to help them get through the past, and seeing her happy, made him happy. On the way to the mysterious place they were moving into (his mother hadn't told him where or what it even looked like, that it was a 'surprise'), they talked about what school he was going to, and that his mother expected him to get outstanding grades there. Norman complied, laughing, as he had always did well in school.

Bitter River
Bell Elkins Novels
Julia Keller
St. Martin's Press
Chapter One
Three people stood on the south bank of the Bitter River. Two of them, a petite woman and a stocky man, had stationed themselves near the water but the third, an older and even bigger man in a long black overcoat and a brown flat-brimmed sheriff's hat, was positioned halfway up the steep slope, a spot that granted him a more generous perspective. All three looked anxious, uncomfortable, as if they weren't quite certain what to do or how to be. Motion was their preferred state, action was how they defined themselves, and this interval—this standing and waiting—was unusual. It made them feel clumsy, pointless. Their arms flared out slightly from the sides of their bodies, hands retracted into fists that they held next to their thighs. Each wore a pair of dusty black boots. Their feet were spread a little wider apart than normal, to help them keep their balance on the riverbank.
It was a cold, dry Thursday morning in early March. The occasional cloud sliding by was difficult to distinguish from the sky surrounding it; both were flat and gray and featureless. Here on the ground, though, there was a sharp-edged clarity to things, as if the shapes had been carefully traced and then cut out with a new pair of scissors and arranged for maximum dramatic effect.
The call had come in just after sunrise, when a passerby spotted what would prove to be the roof of a car in the river. As she moved closer, the caller said, she had noticed the rhyming ruts leading to the water's edge. It wasn't unusual to glimpse junk dumped in the river—tires, old washing machines, and beer cans led all categories—but when the object was big, as big, possibly, as a car, people liked to have the law check it out. The investigation had been delayed until Leroy Perkins could get here with his rig.
Right now, Leroy was up to his biceps in the greenish-black water, cursing in a low continuous mutter—his mutter seemed to mimic the river's steady rustle—as he tried to attach the big rusty hook under any part of the car. The hook bounced and joggled at the end of a greasy black cable. The cable stretched its way to a winch on Leroy's truck, which he had backed down the riverbank as far as he could safely go. The truck was pale blue and on the driver's-side door, in flaking white letters, were painted the words LP TOWING HAULING & SALVAGE, and on the next line ACKER'S GAP WV.
The river wasn't forbiddingly deep here. The current was more of a frisky scallop than the thunderous wallop that would come later, after the water had twisted around the mountain and picked up speed on its way to the mighty Ohio. There was no real danger. But retrieving the vehicle was proving to be a tedious and cumbersome task, and Leroy was ticked off.
"Damnation," he sputtered. He was a big-nosed, medium-sized man, compact and balding, with a horseshoe of curly gray hair that looked as if it had been perched on his ears like a commemorative wreath. His denim coveralls were permanently stained with grease and muck, and his thigh-high rubber wading boots—not currently visible, submerged as they were beneath the viscous liquid constituting the Bitter River—were dark green, with a thin line of yellow piping around the tops.
"Damnation," he repeated, grabbing at the hook, having missed the back bumper yet again. He had meaty, callused hands that clearly had done this sort of thing many times before. "I'm tellin' you, Nick," he complained, "this ain't as easy as it looks."
Sheriff Nick Fogelsong, the big man in the long black coat standing higher on the riverbank, nodded. "I hear you, Leroy," he said.
Greg Greenough, one of the two deputies, turned and looked up at the sheriff. His expression spoke for itself:
Maybe give him a hand?
Fogelsong shook his head.
Leroy was the professional. The sheriff didn't want his personnel interfering. One slip of that winch, one errant swing of that big hook, and Deputy Greenough's head would open up like a melon dropped on a sidewalk. The sheriff had seen it happen before. Twenty years ago, as a young deputy loaned out temporarily to another county, Fogelsong had investigated a felonious assault allegedly perpetrated on a coal barge, and while he was ambling around the deck, kicking at coils of rope and kneeling down to run a thumb across motley stains on the pitted wood, he watched a six-year-old kid—the son of the barge owner—get his scalp ripped off when he blundered into the path of a swinging hook. Everybody was sorry, everybody felt terrible about it, but those torrents of emotion and regret couldn't bring back Chauncey Simms, who had bled out in minutes, his small body twitching on the deck like a caught fish.
That was the kid's name. The sheriff hadn't realized until now that he still remembered the name, all these years later. Seeing the big hook had jarred it loose from his memory.
Chauncey Simms
He wondered what the boy's father had done with his grief and his guilt—and his love for his boy. Where had he put them? Had he carted them around with him, all these years, like extra cargo on the barge? Or had he been able to unload them somewhere along the way?
"Hold up, hold up," Leroy called out. Groping under the water, he'd come to the open window on the driver's side, and that was when his probing fingers had encountered something. Something that didn't feel like part of a car.
Fogelsong shoved his memories aside and bucked forward, almost toppling on the sharp-angled bank; he'd momentarily forgotten where he was. He righted himself and kept going. Greenough and the other deputy, Pam Harrison, let him pass and enter the water first, then followed right behind.
"Just a sec," Leroy said. "Lemme get this out of the way," he added, meaning the big hook. He backpedaled, securing the hook between his hands for safekeeping, and gave the sheriff a clear lane to that side of the car.
"Shoulda brought your hip waders," Leroy lectured amiably, watching the water fill in around Fogelsong's churning knees and then his hips and his waist and his chest as the sheriff moved forward, his big black coat spreading out around him like a water lily.
Fogelsong didn't answer. He was reaching under the river's surface, feeling for whatever had caught Leroy's attention. He couldn't see his own hands—the water was alarmingly cold and dark, the start of the massive spring runoff from the mountains—and he was aware of the spongy river bottom below, sucking at his boots.
He located the window frame. Let his fingers inch hurriedly around the curve, like a blind man trying to read a face. He reached in.
And then he found it. He waited a second or so, to let the human being part of him register the shock before the sheriff part of him—the professional part—kicked in.
Instantly, he knew what it was.
A body.
And he wished like hell that he had access to something more profound in his inventory of verbal responses. A poem, maybe. Or a line from a hymn. Something dignified. Something commensurate with the enormity of what he'd now be forced to reckon with.
As it was, he said the first word that came to mind.

I received this in an email and thought it was quite amazing how your brain gets the hang of it so quickly....that is except my partner's brain, he tried but wouldn't get all of the words!
Hehe I've seen this floating around for a couple of years now, i think it's rare when someone cant read it :)
LOVE it ... was able to read it straight away! it took hubby a little longer though :)
Love it, was able to read it straight away....hubby struggled though :)
:) awesome
Wow that was amazing!
Oooh I'm so clever!
you'd likely only have trouble if you're still learning to read - our minds see the rough shapes of letters and automatically substitute :-)
That's why we can generally read even the sloppiest of handwriting without too much effort!
Instantly!! Got stuck on one word on the first line but nothing after that! Amazing!!
I can read it... but that's probably because that's the way I type my nicknames on most sites etc... I.e.
Did you know that your brain can also read scrambled words as long as the first and last letter are correctly in place?
Exiintg inst it? :) barins are wodnreufl tgihns :)

It's one part Food Network, one part Mr. Science, two big handfuls of DIY, and probably going to be a whole lot of fun.
Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science is a free online course, from the online university edX, promising to teach you and thousands of your closest friends about emulsions, elasticity, and the molecular gastronomy movement's poster child, spherification. (That's turning a liquid into a sphere, for those of you still puzzling over that term.) There are no prerequisites, exams are optional, and you get to do all the tasty lab experiments right in your own kitchen.
But this isn't just some fly-by-night online class. It's Harvard, baby.
"The hope is that by combining these two different perspectives [science and cooking], you will gain a unique insight into how recipes work. Not just the fancy recipes — but the recipes you make in your own kitchen," says Michael Brenner, course founder and applied mathematician at Harvard University, in a promotional video (see above.)
Not wanting to sit out the uber-trendy Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) movement, Harvard and MIT created edX so students around the world could access high quality science, engineering, law and business classes online.
This is the first time edX is offering Science and Cooking, although the class concept was born over four years ago, when Brenner and colleagues noticed an overflow crowd trying to squeeze into a lecture hall where chef Ferran Adrià, considered the preeminent practitioner of modernist cuisine, was speaking.
The professors approached Adrià, who liked the idea of teaching science through cooking. He tapped into his chef network for help, and the class — a favorite among Harvard undergraduates — was born. But after three years, including a popular lecture on gelatin by Adrià protégé chef José Andres last year, it was clear there was still more demand than supply.
"We had to turn some students away because we were limited in space," class prefector Pia Sörensen recalls. Going the MOOC route was "a way to reach more people," she says. Some 45,000 people and counting have already signed up for the class, which begins Oct. 8.
In addition to Spanish heavy hitters Adrià and Andres, Modernist Cuisine's Nathan Myhrvold, David Chang of the Momofuku restaurants, and On Food and Cooking's Harold McGee will appear — just to name a few.
Class "meets" twice a week for an hour. Students watch the chefs create some of their signature dishes, interspersed with clips of instructors "digging into the science" behind the kitchen magic, Sörensen says. "Almost all chefs talk a little about the science, but some more than others," she says. Look for a particularly impressive lesson on entropy and latent heat from New York City chef Dave Arnold, from the bar Booker and Dax.
Students will be able to ask questions and interact with one another online, then go into their kitchens and conduct experiments, like making molten lava cake or ice cream to understand key science concepts.
While there's an inevitable blurring of lines between education and entertainment with a class like this, Sorensen promises there will be lots of actual learning, too.
"You can discover even complicated scientific themes with basic experiments with something as simple as food," she says.
Because the class is designed for a global audience, immersion blenders and sous vide ovens won't be required. In fact, the class is still being fine tuned, because a large percentage of the students signed up are in India, where ovens aren't common.
So are the students more interested in the food or the science?
"Cooking is pretty cool even without science. It's hard to argue with that. But [the class is] probably helping to make science a little bit cooler," Sörensen says.
McGee agrees. "I've heard from many people something along the lines of 'I hated science classes in school, but I love learning about the science of cooking — why didn't they teach us that?' So food and cooking have made science cool, educators are taking note, and science classes all over the country are getting tastier."

….keeps the doctor away. No I am not talking about Apples of the delicious Cox's Pippen, Granny Smith or Cornish Gilliflower variety. The ones rich in rich in Vitamin C, Flavonoids and phenols, which can help your immune system, prevent heart disease and reduce bad cholesterol.
No, I am talking about Apple, the American multi-national corporation that designs and markets consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. Apple have created such a wealth of electronic goodies that you now have no need to leave your house. You can now lie around your house in a pool of your own filth organising your world from the luxury of your touch screen. There is no need to ever go to the doctor again! And if you do get sick I am sure there is an iApp for it.
And speaking of iApps, Apple have seen fit to select Hector : Badge of Carnage as one of the 'Best Games You've Never Played!' Quite an honour! The App Store now features nearly 250,000 Apps so to have our game selected by Apple themselves is proof that we were right in continuously banging on about how great the Hector game was going to be!
Here is what the good people of Apple had to say about it:
"HECTOR: Badge of Carnage Ep1 – This point and click adventure game really pushes the boundaries of the App Store approval process. Filled with dirty humor and raunchy references, Hector won't take you more than a few hours to beat… But those few hours will be amazing."
And if you don't believe us, then you have trust issues, but the good people over at TouchMyApps and TouchArcade also noticed that Hector had earned a place on Apple's illustrious list, so maybe you will trust them. I won't take it personally.
So all that is left for you to do is to go to iTunes and download Hector for yourself and find out what all of the fuss is about. Click here to go to iTunes or go to www.thehectorfiles.tv to find out more about Hector : Fat Arse of the Law.

amg review
L.A.-based rock singer Beth Hart released Screamin' for My Supper in 1999, three years after her debut, Immortal. Producing herself, with help from longtime collaborator Tal Herzberg, and playing piano, keyboards, and arranging string sections, Screamin' for My Supper is a mature, fully realized sounding record. She kicks things off with "Just a Little Hole," a mid-tempo, smoldering cut with organ that gives it a blues/gospel feel. Hart's slightly raspy vocals compliment things with a twinge of heartache and regret. "Delicious Surprise" is a punchy, roots-inflected rocker co-written with Glen Burtnik. "L.A. Song," the lead single, explores the darker side of sunny Southern California with gentle piano backing and hushed, understated vocals that make the song thought-provoking and compelling. Other noteworthy cuts include the slinky melody of "Is That Too Much to Ask," with an infectious chorus and smoking harmonica, and the poignant "By Her," which adds strings and accordion to the mix. Screamin' for My Supper is a confidant effort that is a bit more rough-hewn than Sheryl Crow but fits comfortably into the same arena. ~ Tom Demalon, Rovi

How far can you really go to test out the limits of your supercar? The Japanese owner of this Ferrari F40 went on a highway and decided that he wanted to at least appreciate the investment he made after buying the F40 by going over 186 mph.
Full-on pedal to the metal, folks. You can just imagine what a car crash would do to that car, let alone to the insane driver behind its wheel. The funny part to this story, despite it happening years ago, is that this video of him driving the F40 at break neck speeds became such a cult video that he was able to sell over 10,000 copies of it on the black market. Yep, that's what people did before You Tube even came into existence.
Unfortunately for the enterprising Japanese, one of the people he sold the video to was an undercover cop who, after seeing him exhaust every last bit of juice of the F40 on the highway, promptly charged him with reckless driving.
Bet he wishes he kept the video to himself, huh?

Flickr Finds: Rich People Roof Tops
We're very envious of anyone in New York City with access to a roof top retreat. This group of Flickr photos from Jwilly features sixteen super-fancy roof top escapes...

The first one looks like a little farm
OMG! I want one!
Beautiful photos. I can see many of these rooftops from my office building in SoHo and gaze at them longingly.
I can tell you that some of the topless and sometimes naked sunbathers on these roofs cause quite the stir in the office, too!
LOL, I LOVE the title!
i saw this a few days ago and was pretty impressed...but altogether pissy because really, it's just not fair!! ;)
Apparently there are a lot of rooftop and terrace gardens in Manhattan. I met someone once whose business was to maintain rooftop gardens and terraces. He wasn't rich, but he made a good living from it.
nice one!
Those photos are so vibratized they look like drawings.
I saw one years ago where a whole house (with porch, etc.) was built on the roof. Anyone know where that was? I can't remember what neighborhood we were in. Perhaps many rich people have done that anyway ;-)
ridge van winkle...there is one on the northwest corner of 1st Street and 1st Avenue and one on top of the Kiehl's building at 13th Street and 3rd Avenue....both links are to posts on curbed where they have even more examples...
Aaron, thanks! It's the 3rd Avenue one I saw. I almost said somewhere east of gramercy or union square, but I wasn't sure.
Rooftop garden in the city is #1 on my list of dream home items.
In my experience, such well landscaped, well used, and well done rooftops are the rare exception rather than the rule.
I live on a 25th floor on the Upper West Side, and look down on a good number of private rooftops and terraces. Only one, perhaps two, have aesthetically pleasing landscaping. All the other private spaces are wasted, with only furniture that's never used, scraggly plants in mismatched and misplaced pots, or nothing at all. The common rooftops of the large co-op buildings I see do better with landscaping.
In a certain sense the people who have the private spaces really don't deserve them if they're not going to spend the money to do their outdoor spaces right...

Austin Peay (8-8) got on the board first with catcher P.J. Torres' first collegiate home run – a solo blast in the third inning. However, he was one of just four Govs baserunners through the first six innings.
