DOVER, Del.- Michael Justice is a convicted sex offender and according to Dover City Police, he is living among 253 others in the area. Justice lives within 500 feet of a day care center, but he has been fighting a year-long battle with city leaders so they will not force him out of his home. The ACLU of Delaware filed a lawsuit on his behalf, calling the ordinance unconstitutional. Now, leaders are considering changing it."I don't believe just because one person decided to sue Delaware, the law should change to benefit him," said Deborah Hughes of Dover."We feel very comfortable and that the ordinance is written to grandfather two people who were specifically affected by it," said David Bonar, Dover city council president. Bonar said leaders are proposing an amendment to an ordinance that would protect Justice and one other man from current ordinance. "The original ordinance is dangerous because it gives the community a false sense of community," said Kathleen MacRae, executive director of the ACLU of Delaware. "In reality, it drives people who are registered as sex offenders underground. It separates them from their family, their support system, their work, counselors. It makes the community less safe as a result of the ordinance."Not everyone is happy about the proposed changes to the ordinance."I'm terrified because of my grandchildren, and our neighbors kids and nobody feels safe anymore," said Julie Foster of Dover. "They would do better if they send them all to one place and keep them there.""I feel as though as long as you are not an active sexual predator, then basically as long as you served your time in jail and paid your debt to society, that it shouldn't be held against you," said Jo Fretz of Dover.Dover City Police Chief James Hosfelt said up until 2005, officers did not make notifications on sex offenders because they didn't know their whereabouts, but that has changed. "The positive out of this is we were aware of that," he said. "The court makes those notifications. We in turn make those notifications to the public. They're aware of where these people live, where they go to school and where they work. I think that's a plus and we're fortunate with that." Fortunate, Hosfelt says, because officers can help keep the public safe.

More tips:
Since I started watercolouring again for my daily sketches, I've gotten a lot of asks/dA notes on if I could give a tutorial on watercolouring and also more specific questions that overlapped each other, so I decided to do a semi guide/tips/answering thing.
I actually started watercolouring before I went into digital medium, so I have a bit of personal experience, but I am essentially self-taught when it comes to watercolouring since there weren't a lot of watercolour tutorials online back then to begin with, so I cannot promise that these are the absolute correct way of doing things.
Hope it helps anyways :)

zwane, is there a source for installer to download your theme.. I dont know how to download to PC and install it to computer, It looks amazing, did you make it?
No I did not make it. You can use ibrickr V0.91 to upload to your phone. Let me see if I can find a guide.
Here is a guide. http://www.mediafire.com/?1dmdsr0zhet
After having seen the new integrated settings for MobileScrobbler, I really REALLY hope the next version of SummerBoard does the same thing. I'd love to see one less app icon on the springboard:
(click for details)
If anyone agrees, please post here and send an email to the good folks at Nullriver to politely make your feature request. I sent a note this morning.
When I'm trying to install the smb fix, i get an error saying "Main Script execution failed". What should I do?
i'm getting the package download failed error.. anyone has the same problem? anyway to manually install summerboard?
reset your phone and then open installer again. I could not open this yesterday, I kept getting the same error on several programs. A phone reboot had me up and running in no time.
Also, When you try to install an app and its fails, it stays in the qeue which is a new installer feature. Clear qeue then try to reinstall, because it will keep giving you that message on the app that is stuck in the qeue.
I have to shut off the iPhone. then restart installer. then I can successfully do one installment of a software. the 2nd one always returns with "Package downlaod failed!"
Scratching my head.... any help?
Ste is having some issues with his repo at the moment. I believe he is working to get these issues fixed.

Total Woman Academy 02bybhuff©
Mid-afternoon, Ned waited in the front hall for his mystery transport assignment. He turned towards the clicking of heels behind him. Mrs. Jones was striding toward him and she was followed by an angel. The angel had mid-back length brown hair, gull wing eyebrows and almond shaped brown eyes. Her full puffy lips were glossed bright red. The fashion magazines called that type bee-stung lips. The rest of her makeup was subtle. She silently announced her presence with a faint flowery perfume. She pulled along a wheeled overnight bag containing the clothes the pledge contributor thought necessary for her scheduled fete.
Ned knew her as Brooke. He had transported her to this facility last year after her sophomore year. She had bloomed considerably since then. That trip was unforgettable and his pulse beat a little stronger at the remembrances. She had been curious about his desires and eager to please. Now Brooke was near the end of her junior year during which she had been taught oral skills. Ned would spend the next two days and nights solely with Brooke. He looked forward to making her bee-stung lips into more aptly named cum-stung lips.
Ned ushered Brooke to the car while Mrs. Jones gave Brooke some last minute details. A few special dresses were packed in the luggage. She should try them on and model them for Ned to get his opinion. Her pledge contributor host had been equivocal about the nature of the fund raiser but said Brooke should be prepared to adjust her wardrobe to suit the phase of the occasion.
Ned drove several hours until late afternoon and checked into the first night's hotel. Ned wanted some quick exercise in the hotel gym to release the road cramps in his tense body. After changing into looser clothing, Ned led Brooke to the gym room. Brooke had exercised this morning under Ned's daydreaming gaze. For her, this time was not about the rigors of the exercise but her display while doing it. She mounted a stepper which faced the treadmill. Her body's bobbing during the routine set her unfettered breasts shaking beneath her tee shirt.
Ned could hardly walk on the treadmill as his swollen organ strained his jockstrap. The exer-cycle proved she was equally bouncy when she bent forward holding the handle bars. Ned could spy swaying cleavage nonstop and an occasional nipple flash down the stretched out neck of the tee-shirt. A half hour was enough exercise for this evening.
Ned pulled Brooke back to their room. He stepped out of his clothes and stood with his back to the bed directly in front of Brooke. She doffed her clothes. Ned's cock twitched at the sight and he felt his temperature rise. Brooke's exercises were working. Her stomach was flat. Her hips were perceptibly narrower than they were last year. The butt muscles were tighter and higher. Her breasts had filled out more and the increased contrast with her narrowed waist and hips gave her an even more pronounced hourglass shape.
Brooke stepped forward placing her hand on Ned's chest and pushed. Ned sat down on the edge of the bed. Brooke knelt and said, "Want to see how much I've learned?" Ned nodded, too choked for words. Brooke reached out to Ned's cock already standing at attention.
Brooke licked Ned's cock. She sucked it. She took it deep. Her tongue fluttered on the tip. Her stiffened tongue tried to pierce the end slit. Her hands caressed his balls. She stroked the skin behind his balls. Brooke performed every activity she had been taught. But she never settled into one rhythm long enough to lift Ned's ardor to the release he desired. Ned would feel the heat rising then lose it when Brooke shifted focus. The effect was more irritating than stimulating.
Ned finally took control. He would feed her his cock the way he wanted. He held her head by handfuls of her hair gripped like handles. He slowed her movements to a moderate pace of long deep strokes with his cock in her mouth. He instructed her to paint the area beneath his crown with the rolled back underside of her tongue. Ned felt his toe tingling start and told Brooke to hum in her throat. The humming vibration capped it and Ned came in Brooke's mouth. He released her hair and fell back on the bed. Brooke crawled up beside him.
Lazing in bed, Brooke asked Ned about her techniques and why he took control. Ned explained the advantages of performing one or two types of stimulations throughout a single love session and using a few others during the next one. Brooke asked about the muscles of the cunt and how they differed from the oral muscles. Ned gave her a puzzled look. Brooke explained that she had been practicing clenching her vaginal muscles during sex. But the junior facility only had dildos. Some dildos had embedded pressure sensors and she had practiced electronic biofeedback with them. But did they accurately mimic a man's cock? Would Ned let her practice on him and tell her how she was doing in that category?
To start, Ned agreed to let Brooke arouse him in bed with her mouth. Then he sat on a stool in front of the full length mirror. Brooke sat on Ned's lap facing him. He admired her tight butt in the reflection. She put her arms around his shoulders but they decided the additional contact on his skin might distract Ned from focusing totally on Brooke's manipulations of the nerve sensors in his cock. She hung her arms at her sides and Ned embraced her outside her locked-in arms and body. His hands gripped the opposite wrist. Brooke's breasts were squished against Ned's chest, her hardened points nudging into his skin.
Brooke lifted her butt and moved it around until the head of his cock was at the entrance of her cunt. She smoothly sheathed him deep and began her contractions while she held her ass still. Ned felt the pressure build and release. Brooke tried to control it so that the pressure rippled up her vagina and created a milking effect. Ned was impressed with her attempts but the method fell short as a solitary stimulation. Brooke was breaking out beads of sweat on her forehead from the exertions. She hadn't broken a sweat during any of the earlier gym exercises today.
Ned adored the feel of Brooke's compressed boobs against his chest but reluctantly released her. He spun her around and put her back on his lap so they both faced the mirror. Tilting her torso forward, he told her to reinsert his cock. Brooke used her hand to place him and slid down. Now she rested her hands on her legs while Ned directed the pace through his hands kneading her breasts. Brooke combined the stroke motion with the clenching motions and Ned felt the difference.
Ned's knob strummed her G-spot. Ned watched Brooke in the mirror. Her hair hung over her face but she could see him watching her. She wiggled her shoulders to set her breasts bounding. Ned smiled. The pointed tips spun in grand circles across her front. They gradually reached a crescendo, each crying out through its orgasmic power. Brooke had her answer and resolved to combine cunt clenches with her other techniques from now on.
The next day Ned drove Brooke on the next leg of their trip. Checking into a hotel, they spent the evening in the room playing freshman level touching games. Ned reminded Brooke of the obligatory dress modeling before her delivery tomorrow. Brooke unpacked the dresses and hung them in the bathroom. Modesty was unnecessary but Brooke wanted Ned to experience her entrance just as others would at the fete. The first dress was a red floor length gown with long sleeves formed from panels and held together with multiple Velcro tabs. When fully closed, the only skin shown was Brooke's face and hands. Removing some panels exposed skin in various parts. The fully closed dress would do for a high school prom but with panels removed, would look chic at an elegant fund raiser. The second was medium blue, sleeveless and shear with slits up the outer legs and built in pushups to show off lots of her cleavage. It looked great on Brooke and Ned thought it ought to be the winner. Brooke went to don the final dress and seemed to linger in the bathroom. Ned's growing impatience was interrupted by his cellphone.
Mrs. Jones called to inform Ned that the pledge contributor had confirmed some details of Brooke's mission. It was to be a breast cancer awareness fund raiser. The first phase of the evening would be a public donor gathering followed by a private forum for the rest of the evening. It was intended that both type of donors be faced with what they would miss if breast cancer was not defeated. Mrs. Jones chuckled as she told Ned to explore the black dress. The pledge contributor wanted Brooke to wear it throughout the evening. The festivities would run late. Brooke would stay with the pledge contributor overnight and be returned to the Academy by the following noon.
Ned hung up. Brooke emerged in the black dress and heels. She had taken time to apply makeup. Dark smoky eyelids and bright red lipstick were prominent. She stood with her hands lightly clasped in front. Ned motioned a slow pirouette and then walked over to Brooke. The skirt was draped to mid-thigh and was made with multiple gossamer layers. It mimicked a ballet tutu but longer and draped her legs, not puffy. The top was backless and the separating waist band rode low on her hips. Two lined billowing triangular panels of the same gossamer loosely covered the front and clasped behind the neck. No bra was possible and the breasts were not supported by the dress. Ned asked Brooke to stride slowly about the room in her heels and watched Brooke's breasts move about seductively unconstrained beneath the panels. The dress's design should give the public breast cancer awareness donors a good idea of what they would miss should breast cancer not be defeated.
Ned stood behind Brooke and explored the dress as Mrs. Jones had encouraged. He reached under her loose hair and felt for the neck clasp. He unhooked the Velcro tab and let the panels fall down Brooke's front. She turned and he smiled. She certainly had studied the dress in the bathroom. Brooke had anticipated his deed and had applied nipple makeup. The area of the areoles was enlarged by rouge and the effect was to make her breasts appear even larger.
Ned guided Brooke by the shoulders to stand before the full length mirror. The loose dress panels hung down from her waist and obscured her toned legs. Ned's explorations revealed more Velcro tabs. He removed the panels from the waistband. Brooke stood stoic with her arms down and clasped her hands together, pressing her arms lightly against the outsides of her breasts. This pose framed her breasts between chin, arms and waist, offering the tipped globes for tactile inspection.
Ned looked over her shoulder as he reached around her body. Ned cupped the orbs with his palms, providing support like a pushup bra. He lazily circled her nipples with his thumbs. He rolled the nubs with his fingers. He watched Brooke in the mirror as her eyes dilated at his touch. Ned suspected from the dress design that the pledge contributor wanted Brooke to expect receiving this type of attention during the private donor phase of the event.
Explorations complete, Ned helped Brooke strip off the remains of the elegant dress and reassembled it for packing. She left her makeup on and crawled onto the bed and into Ned's arms. Ned wanted to provide Brooke some final coaching regarding her overnight time with the pledge contributor. They spent the next few hours testing Brooke's sensual skills. Brooke demonstrated over and over her knowledge of oral sex, breast play, vaginal sex and her new understanding of timing and combining fewer types of strokes within any one session. Morning arrived far too soon and Ned finished Brooke's transport to the Academy's freshman facility.

The veteran comedy actor Vic Sotto and his co-host on the long-time running noontime variety show, Eat Bulaga, is reportedly dating. The report came from Philippine Star from the columnist Ricky Lo. According to Lo, the two is already an official item.
The two worked together on Eat Bulaga ever since Luna joined the show in 2005. They have been friends since then, but no one thought that two will be together someday (and that someday would be TODAY). The two have a very wide age gap, with Sotto at 57 while is 27. The love birds is the living proof of the saying "age doesn't matter".
Before the new broke out, the two were reportedly noticed to be having a subtle sweetness in their set in Eat Bulaga. But the reports were neither denied nor confirmed by their co-hosts in the noontime show.
In Eat Bulaga, the two works together with Sotto's ex-girlfriend, Pia Guanio. Sotto broke up with Guanio last year but the two remained as co-hosts in the show. Guanio recently married the businessman Steve Mago.

Utah Governor Signs Law Nullifying Real ID
6 April 2010 by Brian Duffy
Utah Governor Signs Law Nullifying Real ID; The Tenth Amendment Center
In 2005, the Republican-controlled Congress passed the "Real-ID Act" – which created national standards for driver's license and identification cards. Opponents across the political spectrum have been resisting it for various reasons – it's a privacy risk, is yet another unfunded mandate, and most importantly, the exercise of such federal power is not authorized by the constitution.
Starting in early 2007, states began passing both non-binding resolutions opposing the law, and binding legislation which nullified the act within the state borders. The latest to join resistance? Utah, and the current tally is 25.
Comment: Still no movement from Ohio's legislators concerning any effort to do the same.
We need to get word to them that we do not want this move toward centralization to cross our border.

- Tradition/Lore: Thanksgiving Day USA - This fourth Thursday in November is American Thanksgiving Day which conceptually originated from a mix of old and elementally pre-Christian European and Native traditions. Typically in Europe, festivals were held before and after the harvest cycles to give thanks for a good harvest, and to rejoice together after much hard work with the rest of the community. At the time, Native Americans had also celebrated the end of a harvest season. When Europeans first arrived to the Americas, they brought with them their own harvest festival traditions from Europe, celebrating their safe voyage, peace and good harvest. In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. There is also evidence for an earlier celebration on the continent by Spanish explorers in Texas at San Elizario in 1598, as well as thanksgiving feasts in the Virginia Colony. The initial thanksgiving observance at Virginia in 1619 was prompted by the colonists' leaders on the anniversary of the settlement. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. In later years, the tradition was continued by civil leaders such as Governor Bradford who planned a thanksgiving celebration and fast in 1623. While initially, the Plymouth colony did not have enough food to feed half of the 102 colonists, the Wampanoag Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by providing seeds and teaching them to fish. It is a point of conjecture as to whether the Native people ever sat down with the Europeans or were included in these fests as has historically been portrayed. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s. The dates of Thanksgiving in the era of the Founding Fathers until the time of Lincoln had been decided by each state on various dates. The first Thanksgiving celebrated on the same date by all states was in 1863 by presidential proclamation. The final Thursday in November had become the customary date of Thanksgiving in most U.S. states by the beginning of the 19th century. And so, in an effort by President Abraham Lincoln (influenced by the campaigning of author Sarah Josepha Hale who wrote letters to politicans for around 40 years trying to make it an official holiday), to foster a sense of American unity between the Northern and Southern states, proclaimed the date to be the final Thursday in November. It is noted as a day that the fowl - The Turkey - is employed as a part of the feasting traditions.
- Japanese: Tori-No-Ichi - the annual festival takes place on or around this date. Traditionally, special bamboo rakes decorated with symbols of good fortune are carried through the streets in order to attract benevolent spirits as a beginning of the New Year's celebrations. Tori no Ichi Fair (open-air market) is a famous annual event on the day of the Tori (Rooster). The origin of Tori no Ichi Fair was a fair of Hanamatamura located in a suburb of Edo. Its original form was a harvest festival by peasants who thank to Hanamata Washidaimyojin. The ritual of Tori no Ichi is held at the Temple of Tori in Asakusa, Tokyo and many people come there to pray for health, good fortune and successful business. In the Edo period, Tori no Ichi was the fist fair for welcoming the New Year. The day of the Tori (Rooster) comes every 12 days in November and generally, the first day of the Tori is most important. The day of the festival, Ujiko(people under protection of the local deity) dedicate a rooster to Hanamata Washidaimyojin and after the festival they release all the collected roosters in front of the temple. The ornaments of the celebration in clude the decorated rakes and festivities are enjoyed by all.
- Astronomical/Astrological: Dark Moon conjunct Sun in Sagittarius - traditionally considered one of the happiest and most harmonious Dark Moons of the year. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, lord of wealth and hearty pleasures, so the first half of December has been throughout the Northern hemisphere the time for enterprises of all kinds to celebrate the profits and achievements of the year, and gather the clans for feasts of love and friendship. Uranus in Aries is in a 120° trine to the Moon-Sun conjunction, making this moment even more advantageous than it normally is for new inspiration and proactive intention. Chiron is at a 90° "square" as well, so that changes in perception and action are likely to be triggered by intense circumstances that prove to be blessings in disguise. The Sagittarius New Moon that follows this Dark Moon has been interpreted as the annual waning of female energy as the male energy waxes now toward the birth of the solar hero child in late December. One mythic expression of this theme is the Greek tale of the annual descent of Persephone into the underworld until spring. In fact, however, at this point the female does not actually weaken or decay. If anything, she reaches fruition with the gathering in of the harvest, creating the moment at which her cycle is productive and complete.
- Celtic/Druidic/Wiccan: Snow Moon - this New Moon is called the Snow Moon in some calendars.
- Celtic/Druidic/Faery/Pagan/Wiccan: In the Beth-Luis-Nion Celtic tree calendar, this twelfth New Moon following the last Winter Solstice ends the Celtic Tree Month of Reed/Ngetal(October 28th - November 24th). The Reed symbolizes pliancy and adapatability, and the willingness to find one's true place in the turning of the wheel.
- Egyptian: Day of Offerings to Sekhmet - on the 9th day of Tybi, followers made cakes and repeated the offerings to Sekhmet so that the Deities would be pleased.
- Egyptian: Feast of Burning Lamps - in ancient Egypt, the sacred deities of light and birth as in Aset (Isis) and Asar (Osiris) were honoured and invoked annually on or around this day with prayers, libations and the ritual burning of special lamps. The Romans extended this holy day to include Minerva.
- Zoroastrian: Day of Adar Jashan/Adar Kansha - a festival in honour of the Sacred Fire. Each day and month of the Zoroastrian calendar is presided over by a spiritual being. When the spiritual being of the day and the month are the same, such as today (Adar), the day is particularly sacred. In the Fasli (seasonal) calendar, this is the sacred day of Adar.

The Avs D needs to get tougher
J Scott Moore | Dec 11, 2009 | Comments 0
The Colorado Avalanche have starting goalie, Craig Anderson back in net tonight after missing four games due to an injury inflicted by goalie killer, Keith Ballard. If players continue to run Craig Anderson then I think it's time a message was sent to the league. And I don't mean the front office.
The Avs take on the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight and if any one of them so much as looks at him cross-eyed, he needs to be pummeled by the Avalanche. Now part of the challenge here for the Avs is their lack of fighting toughness on the backline. Not that a forward can't take on this roll, but I would like to see at least one Avalanche defenseman take on the role of being Andy's personal bodyguard.
Adam Foote has dropped the gloves in the past, he's getting a bit long in the tooth to keep doing that and he really hasn't dropped 'em much in the last few years. Footer has only three fights since the lockout and no fights in nearly two years. But if you think he isn't up to the job, take a look at his last fight with Jordin Tootoo.
I like the captain showing the team what needs to be done, but I would also like to see one of the other guys take on this responsibility. So who else might take on this role? Well here is the last fight (only NHL fight) John-Michael Liles was in.
So I don't think he is our guy. Way to protect the face pretty-boy.
How about Hannan, Clark, or Quincey? Combined, they average less than a fight per year since the lockout.
That leaves Ryan Wilson, who has shown a real penchant for putting the hurt on guys with his checks. Let's watch this recent video of Wilson leveling Ethan Moreau and fighting Zach Stortini.
Now Wilson didn't fare so well in that fight but looking at his 100+ PIMs in his last couple years in the OHL, it's obvious that Wilson has done a little fighting. He could be the man for this job.
If the league isn't going to protect our goalie, then things need to be handled by the Avs, on the ice. I don't care if that pint-size Martin St. Louis is the one that commits the infraction, someone needs to address it. Craig Anderson is clearly a key component to the winning ways of this new and improved Colorado Avalanche. Last I checked the league doesn't have a skirt-rule for goalies and I'm not calling for one either. I'm calling for the Avs to stand up for one of the guys that have made this team a winner again.

About the Author: I'm an irascible rec-hockey player, your typical 'lunch pail' player. A Colorado native, I was raised on Broncos football, with occasional minor league and Colorado (hockey) Rockies games thrown in. With the arrival of the Colorado Avalanche and my crazy idea to learn to ice skate (and eventually play hockey) at the age of 33, I fell in love with hockey, finally.

From flying trapeze artists to world-class music: V&E slapped on the face paint and joined the circus that was Standon Calling
Photos: PG Brunelli, Dean Jode and Tom O'Meara
Having 'dog-faced boy' chanted at you by a clown, while you muster the courage to drink a concoction of Jägermeister and tequila isn't the norm on a recuperative Sunday afternoon. In The Forest of
Freaks at Standon Calling, however, it would have been rude not to.
Having started out as a handful of friends and a pool in 2001, the Hertfordshire three-dayer now draws in around 5,000 revellers. This year, it sold out for the first time in its 12-year history.
We arrived to a crowd excited, loud and hungry for fun. People wore not much around the pool, others, dressed all circusy, gathered for the dog show and those in need of a sit down tried their hand
at life drawing in the forest.
The line-up this year was typically eclectic. On The Lordship stage – the place to check out emerging talent – we loved Indi Forde, who sounded just like Michael Jackson. On the main stage,
all-female Lips Choir belted out everything from Fleetwood Mac to Destiny's Child. Hip hop legends De La Soul brought the weekend to a close in typical party-starting style. Taps on backs all
Despite still being a relatively small festival, Standon Calling's VIP offering is impressive. In the boutique camping area – metres from the main stage – you'll find tipis and yurts, available for
groups of up to 20. They come complete with beds, linen and cushions, as well as separate loos and showers. A chill-out lounge offers some sanctuary from the madness outside.
Best bit: the 'Running Away from the Circus' theme, although not ideal for the coulrophobic among us – there were clowns everywhere. Oh, and trapeze school Gorilla Circus had festival-goers
flying through the air, slap-bang in the middle of the site.
Room for improvement: the food. With other festivals upping their game in the catering
department, the standard festival fare wasn't really cutting it.

Weber State football: Wildcats tackle leadership issues prior to camp
By Martin Renzhofer
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Aug 05 2013 03:57PM
Ogden • There were a lot of issues during Weber State's 2-9 football season in 2012, but trust, or the lack of it, may have been the biggest problem of all.
The players, following a series of pinball-type changes in the head coach's office, didn't necessarily buy into what first-year coach Jody Sears was selling last year.
"They don't really care," linebacker Anthony Morales remembered thinking about the WSU staff. "For us, it was hard to trust coach Sears."
Often in 2012, the Wildcats fizzled late when the pressure was on. "I think it's just a Weber State thing, not to finish," Morales added.
Since then, though, Sears has taken the offensive to fix the problems and regain that trust before the Wildcats opened their first preseason practice Tuesday to get ready for the 2013 season.
Sears took a select number of players to a two-day ropes — or challenge — course, at nearby Eden. It is an activity, often using utility poles and ropes as a team, that asks those involved to trust each other, to confront fears.
They also opened up to each other emotionally in a way they hadn't before.
Maybe the player who benefited most from the two-day challenge course was senior quarterback Jordan Adamczyk, a backup during his tenure at WSU. He's played in only nine games, starting one.
"I found out the higher-ups on the team truly believed in me," he said. "It was definitely confidence booster."
In the end, even the most hardened skeptics were won over.
"I thought it was ridiculous," said Morales, a second-team All-Big Sky performer in 2012. "I was like, 'We're about to start camp and we're going to Eden and hike a mountain.' It sounded like a terrible idea. But that's the kind of stuff that was keeping this program down, me not trusting coach Sears."
In retrospect, he said, "It was honestly one of the most life-changing deals I've ever done."
Now the job, as Morales says, is for the 11 players who participated to pass on what they've experienced.
For Sears, it was a large piece into rebuilding after the damage following the retirement of Ron McBride and the subsequent hiring and resignation of John L. Smith — who left for Arkansas after spring ball. Then, a week after being hired as offensive coordinator, Timm Rosenbach left for UNLV.
Sears was elevated to interim head coach and the season followed a downward spiral. Weber State didn't win one home game.
Sears wanted to build a player-led team, not a coach-driven squad.
"I'm guilty even as a player," said Sears, who played for Washington State when Dennis Erickson resigned as the head coach there. "We had our heels dug in a little bit. … Players feel like they're a commodity, and an expendable one, too."

As of Friday, January 20, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
Business owners, and other parties interested in downtown McDonough, will have an opportunity to weigh in on redevelopment prospects for The Square, and its surrounding areas.
The city's Community Development Department will host small-group meetings, Tuesday and Wednesday, seeking input from owners of businesses and buildings, as well as others, regarding the city's Livable Centers Initiative.
The sessions will continue a process which began in the summer of last year, to assemble plans for investment and redevelopment in the downtown area.
"The most recent efforts include the June 2011 visioning workshops, which were held in the Harry Norman building on The Square," said McDonough Media Relations Specialist Casey Case. "These were followed by the December 2011 public meeting held at the First Baptist Church of McDonough, with a very successful number in attendance, representing a wide segment of this city.
"The next series of meetings with be ... a series of smaller group meetings with specific discussions taking place during each segment on very specific questions," she continued. "The agenda for each will be to identify existing and perceived barriers toward investment and redevelopment, and to identify new opportunities and strategies for remedying those issues. Each meeting will be an exploration of ideas, depending on the group, where we will float a number of thoughts for their critical consideration."
The North Carolina-based Lawrence Group, architectural design consultants hired by the city, will facilitate both meetings.
In 2011, the ARC awarded McDonough $1.3 million to implement recommendations for redevelopment. Case said the scheduled sessions are vital to ensuring a positive outcome, for projects in McDonough.
The city, in December, hosted a similar event to obtain opinions from the public. Community Development Director John Cheek said one reason for that meeting was to encourage more participation from young adults in determining the city's future development prospects.
"We had as many folks from [age] 25 to 35, or at least under 40, at this meeting, as we had in total attendance at the other visioning workshops," said Cheek, in December. "So, I think that went well, and I think we were able to refresh the community on what we're up to."
Representatives from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) conducted an LCI workshop over a four-day period in June. In December, an ARC representative provided findings gleaned from interaction with workshop participants.
Results from an image-preference survey revealed that residents favor more brick and stone buildings, and fully developed streetscapes in the city. Plans for McDonough's downtown area –– as part of the project funded by the ARC –– include lighting and landscape enhancements, as well as new traffic signals.

Most brides-to-be worry about growing out their hair before walking down the aisle. But Emma Roberts is following her own bridal beauty rules. The newly engaged star just got a blunt bob! Read More

So you just got engaged. Do you A) Text a photo of the ring to a few close friends and family. B) Upload the photo of the ring to Facebook to allow your closest 738 acquaintances to ooh and aah over it. Or C) Casually unveil it on the red carpet at one of the biggest awards shows of the year? If you answered C, well, can we hang out with you more? And are you Emma Roberts? Because that's just what she did at Sunday's Golden Globes.
The American Horror Story: Coven actress, who got engaged to her love, actor Evan Peters over the holidays, has been keeping her new pink gold-and-diamond ring mostly under wraps — we've had our eyes out, and have only gotten a few blurry glimpses of something vaguely shiny on her left hand. But we can't say we blame her for wanting to let the ring have a major debut: It's huge, sparkly and stunning and kinda deserves a big coming-out party set against a gorgeous Lanvin dress and turquoise Neil Lane chandeliers (check her out on our Best Dressed list here!).

This year's American Music Awards brought the heat on the red carpet, as stars from Miley Cyrus (wearing pants) to Nicole Richie (wearing major cutouts) dazzled from all angles. And some of our favorite stars (Katy Perry! Emma Roberts! Zoë Saldana!) took the opportunity to prove it, stepping onto our rotating 360° red carpet platform so we could bring you Vines to show off every angle. We rounded up our 10 favorite, but you can see them all on PEOPLE's Twitter. Check it out below — then see the rest of the can't-miss dresses here and tell us your favorite in the comments!
We've all got a makeup routine that we swear by, but some days, you just want to put a little more effort in than swiping on mascara and lipstick and running for the door. Should you need some inspiration for those days, we've got three great looks, courtesy of three lovely stars, for you to pin. And yes, we've got all the exact products too. See them after the jump!

Words that we typically apply to our night-out bags: Sexy. Glittery. Bright. Fun. Festive. Words that we rarely, if ever, apply to our night-out bags: Businesslike. But that may change soon, if these stars are any indication.
RELATED PHOTOS: Vote on more star style in "Last Night's Look!"
Within the last week, Jessica Biel, Emma Roberts and Salma Hayek have all opted for briefcase-inspired designs to complement their red carpet attire. Biel's Mark Cross was the most literal interpretation of the look — it truly looked like she could covertly drop off a few stacks of hundreds with her borrowed-from-the-boys style. (And for what it's worth, most of you voted this look a "hot mess.")
Roberts's B Brian Atwood had the same boxy shape and top handle, but the gold accents feminized it a bit — not to mention the satin-and-lace dress and red heels with which she paired it. And Hayek's fit in well with her graphic black-and-white ensemble at Paris Fashion Week — it gave a little '50s punch along with the glasses and the Pollock-inspired print.
With menswear still one of the hottest trends out there, we have a feeling this may catch on pretty quickly. Would you give this staid look a shot? And if so, whose look would you most likely imitate: Biel's literal look, Robert's über-girlie outfit or Hayek's mod styling?

I took cutie for a ride in my deathcab(and so on.)
She tipped me with a kiss I dropped her off at the meth lab
Before she left she made a dashboard confessional
And spilled her guts in cursive but whats worse is
I could still see her bright eyes like sunny day real estate . . .
I think Elliott Smith's Miss Misery references "Cathy's Clown" but I don't know who did Cathy's Clown.Don't know where "Cathy's Clown" originates from either, but the reference Elliott Smith makes comes from "Waltz #2" (XO album) - not Miss Misery.
Don't know where 'Cathy's Clown' originates from either
I fought the law and I won
'Please Mister Please,' which reacts specifically to 'B-17.' A nickel to anyone who can identify what song that was.
In the corner of the bar there stands a jukeboxposted by kirkaracha at 3:46 PM on October 25, 2007
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when your's are through
I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song
And here I am just missing you again
Please, Mister, please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it's over
Please, Mister, please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again.

Give Me Liberty!: An American Historyby Eric Foner
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
is the leading textbook in the market because it works in the classroom. A single-author book, offers students a consistent approach, a single narrative voice, and a coherent perspective throughout the text. Threaded through the chronological narrative is the theme of freedom in American history and the significant conflicts over its changing meanings, its limits, and its accessibility to various social and economic groups throughout American history. With the Seagull Edition, students get the full text in a value-edition format: two-color, a selection of the illustrations and maps in the regular edition, and a basic version of the pedagogy. The price is half that of the regular edition, and less than the Brief Edition.
The leading United States History survey text is now available in a value edition.

My Plans
I tried to set this up so that everyone can get their needs met,
I have three levels of tiny house plans available and a helpful ebook:
- General Information
- Material List
- Floor/Ceiling Plans
- Roof/Undercarriage Plans
- Framing Plans
- Exterior Elevations
- Plumbing Plan
- Electrical Plan
- Interior Elevations
- Sections
- Millwork Information
- Construction Details
- Sketchup Model
Basic Plans
Full Plans
The 'Basic-Plans' package
I know some people just want the floor plans and framing plans and they will take it from there. The 'Basic-Plans' package is just this. It is a 13 page set of drawings with general information (including links to products that may be less familiar and my exact fixtures), a material list for basic costing purposes, some floor and ceiling plans, elevations and framing plans, that's it. Simple easy general info without the bells and whistles. There are no details of specific wall assemblies included in this package.
The 'Full-Plans' package
For those that want it all detailed out down to the millwork the 'Full-Plans' set has just that. It's a 33 page set of drawings that includes everything in the Basic Plan package as well as the electrical plan, plumbing plan, millwork and all the details of assemblies I used in my actual house. This, I imaging would be the package that I would purchase if I as starting it over again from scratch, in fact I WISH I had had this prior to going at it.
The 'Everything' package
The third package is Everything, the full plans plus the Sketchup model which is fully editable. I really didn't want to let go of my Sketchup Model but I presume there are those people who want to build something similar to my house but maybe with a few tweaks. This would be the package for them, they can start with the base sketchup model and tweak things from there. I am only offering the Sketchup Model with the purchase of the full set of plans, not independently.
There are just a few differences between the plans and my actual house, I made all of the changes for the better, they are as follows:
- The kitchen window is shorter to allow for a sill above counter height
- The stairs are relocated for ease of use
- Tile floor are not suggested and radiant floors are not required (would require a heavy duty trailer)
- Cabinets don't require welding, they are more typical construction
- Walls are 24″ on center
- Electrical panels may vary
- Trailer will vary (there are general connection details)
I wish you all the very best and I hope to follow along with your journey to minimize! Please do not hesitate to contact me, if I can help you get there I certainly will!

So you say you moved the stairs for ease of access… What did you exactly mean by that? I am concerned that it will no longer fit a king sized bed in the loft. The way you have it in your home it wouldn't interfere with that. Just curious what you meant. Again THANKS FOR THE PLANS
Hi, Mary!
I love the house! But I'm wondering…you built it yourself, as you're an architect, right? And it cost you $11,000. Well, I don't know nothin' 'bout buildin' no houses :D, so how much, do you think, it would cost me to have someone else build one for me? Thanks!
I really like your home. I like the way your kitchen is , it looks really nice☺
Is there a way to make a 2-3 loft area?
If you wanted to move your house around, would you be able to? It looks like it would be pretty heavy.
Hi, I have been looking for option to build a mortgage free house for a single person. This is the best option I have seen so far in moth of searching. $ 11,000 is very affordable for me. I'll will have to build it all by myself and I have a basic to none knowledge of construction, but I'm good with my hands. Would it be realistic, in my situation, to get in something like this?. Also,what did you use for the out side siding?. Do your plans include full construction and details ( from inside and outside), and all I have to do is get furniture in once I'm done?. Well, thanks so much. I really like your place
God bless
Thanks Macy, appreciate it.
[…] Buy Plans […]
I think this is a very nice home. A couple questions though :
Washer and dryer?
Where are you parking your home? What to do if the situation changes?
I'm wondering where you found the bathroom sink and what kind of toilet is that?
How are you coping with adding a baby, a boyfriend and a Great Dane to your tiny space? Are you planning on building something bigger now?
can you make 2 bedroom? one for me and one for my son?
[…] My Plans […]
I love your blog! My husband and I living in central Ohio (although I'm a California girl, born and raised) lately we have been considering building a tiny house in a year or so. However we have issues to consider, one being that we have a 3 month old son and the other being our 185 lbs Great Dane Sir Walter. I came across your blog g and discovered that it is duable. I love it! How did you make room for a toddler and a dane?
Nicely done TH. I am a single man now looking into this lifestyle. I wanted to ask why you used so much space for a porch? I see many designs incorporate this feature even if on 18-24″ deep. Moving into a TH I envision it making me go outside more and doing things there like cooking etc when the weather is suitable. As such I think a pull out awning and a outside tent top area would be ideal. I realize it is all in your personal preference. Was there anything about the dovetail trailer that made it more difficult to build over that section?
Great house. I've been pricing materials and it seems the trailer is a high priced item. You mentioned the toilet being 2k, just curious as to what the trailer costs?

I have just uploaded a 1000px 200k version of my previous 500px 60k pic.
I feel that when viewed at 500px (normal view) the 1000px upload looks inferior to the 500px upload. Even though viewing the larger version by clicking the link allows it to be seen as intended, first impressions may cause viewers to ignore the shot.
So, Pete et al, how are the uploads resized? I assume that it is down to the page code and nothing else. Would it be possible to upload two files one at the 500px by 60k limit and another at 1000px by 200k?
This is not an attempt to generate clicks but I would like to hear the views of others.
I'd click the link for every image that will allow me to do that, even if just to see if the focus is better (assuming I didn't like the smaller version).
On another note - there's a downside. In the past you could "blame" the resizing for the unfocused shot, now it's harder (for the e2 members of course)
I'm just joking, of course. We should be improving our skills rather than hiding behind the thechnology.....
Ilia Kagan
1000px photos will show up bad photos easier than 500pixels.
We've all seen bad examples of photos posted here with 500 pixels which are OOF but when borders are applied narrowing them down further they look OK.
I've said a number of times on the forum and in comments that 500pixels hides a multitude.
1000 wont.
Thanks for the feedback guys, I for one am all in favour of the new upload limits and more than happy to pay for the privilege. The point of this topic was intended to investigate further as to the possibility of uploading two files rather than have a larger file downsized for normal display.
I agree, digiart - the two versions are completely different. But unless the compression techniques are completely and utterly different, I don't think they are the exact same shot, so it's tricky doing a proper comparison. E.g. look at the rock at the back of the photo.
I would say that 500p "auto-reduction" of the 1000p picture is a better copy of the 1000p picture than your original 500p image. (Does that sentence make sense at all?!) To my eyes, your original is a touch too sharpened compared with the new one.
Going with that, I actually prefer the epz version of the 500p image! (Oh, and I love the picture as well!)
Hi Mark, that one rock is the only difference forgot to clone out the wheel trim that was there so had to do it in both copies indipendantly.
Ah, that'll explain that one, then.
But still, there are large differences - e.g. the patch of white in the water just at the bottom centre of the pic. To me the epz version copies it better than your original (i.e. there are three distinct patches of lightness, whereas in your original 500p image there are only 2).
Maybe it was a slightly different exposure as well? e.g. You took the photo from the same spot twice in succession?
But I certainly get your point that the epz auto-reduction will be different to if you did it yourself. The tricky bit is knowing which is better...
Going off track slightly my main concern with the new 1000pixel size is that anyone could download it and with a company like Photobox, get a half desent A4 print done. Not much use if like me you are trying to sell your images as prints.
Pete is there anyway to stop this as I would love to upload at the new size?
Thanks for the quick reply Pete. I'll give it a few days to see how it goes. For me that isn't the main reason for wanting E2 anyway.
1 very happy customer
They don't so much as get around copyright, they just don't acknowledge it and feel that because it is on the net then anyone can have it!
Maybe you should restrict 1000px image viewing to only people with an account on EPZ?
Steffi, anyone can set up an account on hotmail etc.. and then set one up on here.
There is an option to hide your 1000px images from non e2 members. Thus only people who have paid and potentially have used their own details to pay have access to the images.

Venue Review: Savor
The Charlotte Observer
1404 W. Morehead St.
The word seeped out about Savor gradually. Fans felt a little possessive about this cozy lunch place, and wanted newcomers to love it, too. It has bloomed into a dinner destination as well now, complete with beer and wine, but there's still that whiff of surprise about it: A place with bright colors and a progressive menu in a funky renovated setting - on West Morehead? Across from the Open Kitchen? With a view of downtown?
Lisa Burris and Lori Pearson own Savor and ran catering businesses in Charlotte before going in together on this. As it happens, Pearson's husband, Shane, was one of Burris' teachers at Johnson & Wales in Charleston.
They opened Savor in mid-June serving lunch only, and got busy quickly, says Burris: "We just opened the door and people came." Dinner has been slower, but their aim is the same for that meal, as they say on their Facebook page: to offer ingredients (local when possible) prepared "with integrity, flavor and soul."
We felt that Southern-tinged depth in a hefty, moist piece of salmon over asparagus with a bit of char, plus green beans, brussels sprouts and carrots. We saw it in a daily special of crabcakes - fat, crusty, crab-centric, and the best I've had in a while. These came over "succotash": a term here stretched to include bits of potato and asparagus, but resulting in a rich, not kitchen-sink-ish, dish.
A plethora of other dishes show commitment to simple flavors, too: an interestingly smooth pimento cheese dip, hummus with warm pita pieces, a reductive salad with punchy vinaigrette, and perhaps my favorite: plump Carolina shrimp and andouille sausage-dotted gravy over substantial (but not too rich) yellow grits.
Area seafood reliably appears on the weekend specials list, as well. Savor considers the shrimp and grits a signature, along with a pan-fried, panko-crusted chicken breast at dinner, plus the salmon BLT and grilled meatloaf at lunch.
Desserts are Pearson's domain, with Bettie Lou's Coca-Cola Cake a stalwart in the lineup (rich, moist and comfortingly old-fashioned) and the enormous bread pudding, sans raisins, is worth a look. You can get cookies and bars to go, as well.
Walls of rough brick help Mandy Johnson's food art - done in vibrant lime and teal and red and orange, and helpfully labeled! - leap out cheerfully. Servers boast an equally warm, if not quite so bold, approach, chatting knowledgeably about each dish, making recommendations and steering capably.
The pace is a mite leisurely at dinner, appropriately for the place's name. So lean back a little in your gray chair, take in the view and do as you're told.
On West Morehead Street, a cozy lunch place has bloomed into a dinner spot with funky ambience and flavorful menu.(Full review)
I had lunch here and was amazed that the salad was made with FRESH ingredients..way to go! Chicken and Dumplings were even better with just the right amount of flavor. I will be back and will be telling all my foodie friends!!
This is a jewel of a restaurant for the west side of town. I go to this restaurant at least once a week for dinner. Its a cozy little spot to have some delicious food for a fair price. It has fabulous wait staff and awesome chefs. The owners are super friendly. The peanut butter pie is sooooo good!! The salads are amazing! The bleu cheese dip and pimmento cheese dip with home made chips are out of this world! They make everything that they serve, so everything is super fresh. There is a gorgeous view of uptown from the entire restaurant. I would suggest this restaurant to anyone, period.
I have eaten at this restaurant several times and love the salads, the peanut butter pie is to die for and make sure you try the blue cheese dip as an app. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The view of the city is great from their location as well!!
Tony, Charlotte NC

drrisk, if you think that it's okay to drop a trillion dollars and kill 4,000 U.S. troops on a whim to try to fix one nation in the middle east, you are nuts. Iraq was a fiasco. All we did was install a pro-Iran Shia gov't.

How can we get the facts on what really makes humans tick?
The Venus project, Zeitgeist Movement, living in a cave all have one thing in common; they made the assumption that humans can change their minds through re-education, pain and suffering (from a crashing existing system). But can they? Seriously, is it biologically possible for the majority of the human race (average Joes) to embrace logic and reason over their baser instincts and emotions?
Genetic research (especially behavioural genetics and epigenetic) is in its infancy, we dont have enough facts to confirm or reject the hypothesis that humans act-react the way they do because of how genes structured their psyche. Human psyche development and research, due to nature and-or nurture, is the key to solving ALL of our problems.
I propose we go further than the human genome project, further than general anthropology, I propose we really look deep into the biological variables of our mind and body and confirm or reject once and for all this nature and/or nurture circus show and find out what we really want, need, desire as homo sapiens.
Once we do, we can proceed with the second phase of human development, change the way we think (through science and/or re-education) OR shape our future society around how we naturally are. There is no right or wrong, only facts and science to help us move along and cease the pseudo-science guessing game of what we want and what we should do for the future.
How can we plan for the future if we dont even know what we are-arent?

Hugh Bonneville (left) stars as Lord Grantham and Jim Carter as Mr. Carson, the formidable butler ofDownton Abbey.
With the third season of the sumptuously upholstered period drama Downton Abbey coming to PBS Masterpiece Classic on Jan. 6, Morning Edition's David Greene sat down with a half-dozen members of the cast to talk about what's in store.
For those who don't know the show, Downton Abbey is a grand English country house, a world choreographed by ritual and rank — where every person knows his place and everything is just so. It's home to an aristocratic British family headed by the Earl of Grantham, Robert Crawley, and his American-born wife, Cora.
But now, in the years after World War I, change is in the wind — rising and falling fortunes, social changes, characters adjusting to new roles both upstairs and down. Actors Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern, who play the Granthams, joined cast mates Joanne Froggatt, Sophie McShera, Jim Carter and Rob James-Collier, who all play members of the house's sprawling staff, to talk class, character — and, of course, clothing.
Part 2 of this interview will be broadcast on Morning Edition on Jan. 4.
Interview Highlights
Elizabeth McGovern on the psychology of a rigid class system
"In today's world, we all live with the burden of feeling that anything is possible if we're only clever enough, smart enough, work hard enough. … There is a … disappointment if for whatever reason you haven't managed to earn a fortune or succeed in some huge way that you thought you would as a young person. And there's something, of course, marvelous about that — personally I wouldn't change that for anything; I wouldn't go back to the old way. But I think there was a comfort for people to a certain extent in knowing this is their role, this is their place. There's no pressure about it; you do the most wonderful job you can."
Hugh Bonneville, on losing the family fortune
"This was a world before financial advisers; if you had money, it made money — it was as simple as that, in that post-Industrial Revolution era. So this is the big crisis point for Robert and for the estate. But at the same time, he wants things to go back to — to the certainties that there were before the war."
Jim Carter, on Carson the butler's resistance to change
"He's like the fabric of Downton Abbey itself, really. He's unchanging. He thinks happiness is two footmen in the dining room, and women [servants] kept out of the dining room. So like Robert, they see themselves as the guardian of the traditions of the house and the honor of the house. He resists the forces of change. … I think change is coming, but he can't cope with it very well. … As Elizabeth was saying earlier, for some people, a static situation is a secure situation. That is his security. … People like this are fairly institutionalized — as institutionalized as a long-term prisoner. Our lives are dictated by gongs and bells, and the rhythm of the day, [which] is dictated to us by the people upstairs. We live to serve them, and to make their world perfect, and Carson takes immense pride in that. … And quite a bit of status goes with it, as well, so for a man of presumably fairly low birth, he's attained considerable status. And he'll protect that — and protect the family at the same time."
On the evolving character of Thomas, the malicious footman
Rob James-Collier: "The more I play Thomas, I've started to think about why he is how he is. And I think it's definitely rooted in his sexuality. We must remember this was a time when being [gay] was illegal, and it was also 'against God.' And it was a more Godly time back then. So you have society condemning anything to do with homosexuality, describing it as foul and twisted — and if society's being negative and aggressive toward you, I think it's only human nature to maybe react to that, as a defense mechanism, and be aggressive back toward society."
Joanne Froggatt: "He really explores Thomas' journey … and you do really feel for him in Season 3. I think it's more explained why he is the way he is."
Carter on the details of life at Downton
"The art department and the props department do a fantastic job. … Everything we use is genuine — the food is genuine. The menu is printed out in French, on the table in front of people for a formal dinner. And that's what they eat: mousseline of whatever-it-is."
Carter on Highclere Castle, which stands in for the fictional Downton Abbey
"We've put in the odd chair of our own, where theirs are too delicate. … But everything is as you see it there. The big painting of a man on a horse at the end of the dining-room table is a genuine Van Dyck. It's the real thing."
On whether the costumes are uncomfortable
Joanne Froggatt: "Very. For the ladies, in Seasons 1 and 2, the corsets were very, very restrictive, very tight. So after 12 hours in one, you were really desperate to get it off and go home and put your jeans on. And I don't know how, as the housemaids, these girls did manual labor in these things. Because you can't bend in them. It's difficult to tie your shoelaces in one."
Carter: "The costumes, whilst they're uncomfortable to wear, they do dictate how you stand, how you behave. You can't slouch; you can't be relaxed in those costumes. And we have to remember at all times it was a very formal era; chair-backs were not for your back to rest on, they were for servants to pull out. You never slumped; you're always at attention."
On whether life is more fun upstairs or downstairs
Unanimously: "Downstairs!"
Bonneville: "No, we have plenty of fun upstairs — Elizabeth, what are you talking about? We get to shoot in a beautiful house, we get to play silly parlor games in between takes, waiting for the cameras to set up. But no, I'm sure there's a lot more banter and bread-roll-throwing in the kitchen."
McGovern: "This is just a rumor I hear."
Carter: "There's a formality to the scenes upstairs, which bleeds into the behavior [between takes]. You're spaced around a dinner table three feet apart, and being obedient English actors, we sit in our places waiting to work. There's not so much hurly-burly upstairs."

The situation has improved, he said, with a decrease of about 50 percent of anti-Semitic acts; yet concerns remain. He credited the decline to the government's efforts to take strong action against anti-Semitism, and the decline of violence in the Middle East, which had stoked anti-Jewish attitudes in France. The majority of anti-Semitic acts in France are committed by Muslims who come from poor suburbs and suffer from non-integration into French society, Mr. Cukierman said.Which also contradicts the statement made in the article that Chirac was ambivalent about the growing anti-semitism. It looks like within the last couple of years they've made strides to rid the anti-semitism coming from these Muslim immigrants, by reading the National Post article you'd think the exact opposite.
