In these tough economic times, people are cutting back left and right, looking for areas to scrimp and save. Fortunately, our own state produces a number of good, value-driven beers. And even if the "champagne of beers" is no Dom Perignon, it'll get the job done at a tasty price.

Steve Merfeld admits to a pang or two of apprehension when Creighton coach Greg McDermott approached him about a month ago with a job proposal.
With Creighton moving to the new Big East next season, McDermott was looking to possibly add an assistant with eastern recruiting ties. At the same time, he didn't want to lose any of his current assistants — Merfeld, Steve Lutz and Darian DeVries.

Sierra Club's Waste Diversion Expert, Rob Muir, continues to emphasize the necessity of waste diversion to combat climate change. Local government has an important role in making it happen, however, the key is developing sustainable consumer behaviour. We need to be more conscious of how resources are used, the products we consume, and how we deal with our waste.
Watch Rob's video on Ottawa's Green Bin Program here.
Visit Sierra Club Ontario Waste Diversion to learn about this critical step towards creating a sustainable future, and mitigating climate change.
Rob Muir's Profile.
Dr John Cherry, a hydrogeologist with the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), says fracking wells in Canada aren't built for the long haul; they tend to spring leaks.
"In my view, well integrity is likely the most important shale gas issue," said Dr Cherry in Toronto, Thursday, May 29. Dr Cherry chaired the CCA's expert panel on understanding the environmental impacts of shale gas extraction (fracking). This panel released its report in early May.
Halifax, NS -- Peaceful protesters against fracking in New Brunswick are being supported by the Atlantic Canada Chapter of Sierra Club Canada.
The Long-Term Energy Plan review now underway in Ontario demands our attention despite its sleep-inducing name. The choices the Wynne government makes will affect your pocket book, our economic competitiveness and the health of our environment.
Nova Scoti
Halifax, NS – Sierra Club Atlantic welcomes the ban of the import of dangerous fracking waste announced today in Nova Scotia. Last spring, Sierra Club launched a petition calling for the ban, and the NS Liberal Party promised to ban the import of fracking waste in the lead up to the provincial election last September.
"This is a relief for Nova Scotians and Nova Scotian municipalities who feared that we were going to be tasked with dealing with toxic fracking waste in the region," according to Gretchen Fitzgerald, Director of Sierra Club Atlantic, "I am thrilled to see the leadership in this province demonstrate they are taking the threat represented by toxic fracking waste seriously."

Saturday Nov. 16 a group of volunteers in Peel brought a strong message to local MP's in Brampton. We participated in a "Bike for the Climate" event, riding the Etobicoke Creek Trail from MP Parm Gill's office to MP Kyle Seeback's office. We carried signs with the message that we don't want dirty tar sands or leaky pipelines running through our communities. We invited both MPs to participate but they didn't respond to our invitation.
Our group was one of 130 groups across Canada that formed a united wall of opposition to dangerous pipelines and reckless expansion of the tar sands. We want our government to Defend our Climate, and Defend our Communities. Click here to see photos of the action across the country.
Sierra Club Canada's Ontario Chapter was instrumental in the decision by our provincial government to shut down all coal plants. The day has come! Toronto environmental lawyer Dianne Saxe has a nice piece on her website about it:

January 8 marked the last day of operation of the Nanticoke Generating Station, the last operating coal-fired electrical generating facility in southern Ontario. This latest shut down will help mark 2014 as the year Ontario will become a coal-free jurisdiction.

European Communism Union regulation for auto switching off speakers - can you buy one without them in European Union? (self.audio)
submitted 7 months ago by rafalfreeman
My new speakers, automatically turn off when there is no sound, or too quiet sound, for some time.
It seems that this is result of regulation passed by the European Union.
Is that something that all speakers have/will have?
Do your new speakers also turn-off when there is no sound, and therefore wait some times (over half-second for example) before playing sound when it is again something to play?
[–]solomute 1 point2 points3 points 7 months ago (1 child)
I ran into this with a conference room installed system. Tried to watch a movie and the audio cut out whenever it got quiet. Very annoying.
[–]rafalfreeman[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 months ago (0 children)
Thank you. I wonder how they fixed the issue?
And will such bullshit regulation be mandatory - that all new speakers will have this problem? Is this already?
Do you remember what brand it was?

Well I've messed this all up-my new page is http://eleanornesbitphotography.tumblr.com/
Well I've messed this all up-my new page is http://eleanornesbitphotography.tumblr.com/
A year ago I set myself a goal:
14 14ers before 2014.
A bit arbitrary-but aren't most goals? For those who don't know, a 14er is a mountain that exceeds 14,000 ft above sea level. Colorado is home to 54 of them, by far the most of any state (there are 15 in California and then Mt.Rainier in Washington-though there are disagreements based on how measurements are done).
Peak bagging is popular out here, and I often run across people on my trips who are close to completing all of the Colorado ones-extremely impressive, though its a bit disheartening to think back and realize that every single one of these aforementioned hikers were older white guys…not sure what that says about the sport.
Anyway, when I set myself this goal, I had climbed a grand total of…4. But I figured I had 2 years before I graduated so it was entirely feasible. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I found myself back in Colorado after a semester in Denmark (i.e. sea level) this May with…4 peaks under my belt.
I decided it was time to quit messing around and just go for it. I told a bunch of people (we all know the only way to meet your goals is to fear public failure!) and got started. As I mentioned, I had just spent 6 months at sea level and well…was completely out of shape. Not a great start, so I decided to tackle some of Colorado's easiest 14ers-Grays Peak and Torreys Peak.
The two peaks are extremely popular due to their close proximity to Denver and good trails, so we decided to camp out on a Tuesday night, summit early Wednesday, and beat the crowds.
Our gigantic tent (thank you Lands End circa 1990) with the peaks in the background.
We started early, around 6:30am by the time we packed up camp and ate breakfast, but the crowds had already began. The four peaks I had climbed before had been much more remote and I had never climbed in the summer (the most popular time) so I was astonished to see so many people.
The summit was flooded with people. Some were drinking beers and eating Chipotle at the top which was just an entirely different scene then I was used to. It wasn't quite the remote nature experience I was going for, but I don't think it was a bad thing (some people really like to complain about the crowds). It was fun to be up there with so many people, and you always meet interesting people on trail.
Even though the two peaks are some of the easiest 14ers, the bottom line is that you are doing physical exercise at 14,000 ft, so I wouldn't say any 14 is really "easy", and my unadjusted lungs were definitely feeling it. But the experience was a great motivation to get in shape and get more under my belt (and bagging 2 in one day was a great feeling). Somehow knowing that I only had 8 peaks left felt a lot more manageable than 10.
One down, one to go!
Had to rock my Blackhawks shirt since they had just won the cup. Got a lot of complements and congratulations (I contributed a whole lot for the team) on the way up!
Our class of 2014 class shirts- "Damn those 14ers are high". Not sure how that one slipped past the school, but they make for pretty awesome climbing shirts.
That view, that is why I climb these things. I have seen a lot of beautiful things in my short life, but Colorado from 14,000 is the top of my list.

im sorry i told everyone "fuck you" in that last post. i didnt even realize i was typing that. sometimes i get really mad for no reason.
and she responded with…
"Yea, but I dont like that phrase so I say petting to doggies with one hand."
Im gonna turn this one over to the studio audience (aka you reblog with your feelings/jokes cause this was just too good)
"Yeah, but since I'm referring to exterminating life, you should probably say strangling two doggies. Oh, that imaginary and completely unrelated to animals in any way phrase still offends you? Hmmm.
You know, you should ask yourself why you have two doggies that can be petted with one hand. Are these doggies those really tiny annoying doggies or some type of veil doggie. Mmmmm, veil.
Also, I don't need to point this out, but you do realize that by saying "doggies" you sound like a 5 year old. Just wanted to let you know you invalidated your entire argument a long time ago."

1937 Pontiac De Luxe Six Sport Coupe
via NY Public Library Collection
And here's the sport coupe version of the 1937 Pontiac De Luxe. Again, see more pics here here.
Caption reads:
1937 PONTIAC DE LUXE SIX SPORTS COUPE… longer wheelbase, room for five passengers inside… no rumble seat… large space under rear deck… more powerful… more economical.

After months of tests and hearings the Augusta County Board of Zoning and appeals finally gave the thumbs up to an Extreme Sports Park in Fishersville. Opposition has fought the park saying the motocross track would lower the values of their home and be too noisy.
The park passed narrowly with a vote of 3 to 2. Supporters were overjoyed.
"A dream come true for thousands and thousands of people that have been supporting me and have been looking forward to it," says Park organizer Terry Argenbright.
He adds, "Everything that has been asked of us by the board of zoning and appeals, we have accomplished and resulted in positive outcomes every time we turn around."
The board asked that some changes be made. The park will have to be moved further back into Expoland. Organizers will also have to plant pine trees and reduce the amount of race nights.
Lynn Uzzell, who opposes the park, says that's not good enough. She also says she's not done fighting the park.
"The expo board has to approve it. That would be our next step there might be an appeal process, and God forbid, there could be a court case," says Uzzell.
She and other homeowners say they're in the right. She says the park will make too much noise and lower the value of the homes.
"Of all the alarming things I've heard about living near a motocross race track, I've heard one comfortable thing, that when the community bands together, we win," says Uzzell.
Park organizers say they are still willing to work with residents saying that in the long run they hope to turn them into supporters.

KLEFAN APPRECIATION WEEK : DAY 2 - Favourite Klefan quote(s)
We were Friends - We ARE Friends.
At this very instant it's not just the fandom that ship them, they ship themselves together. When Stefan remembers that moment of his life everything makes sense for him. Klaus never forgot of course, but now he can share that memory again with Stefan. All the flashbacks of the episode are pure perfection, their relationship is magical. I would go on but i would spoil day 3 of this SKAW.
This quote is probably the most known for that ship, but it is because at this very moment, she ship is officially canon again, cause it obviously was before, but now BOTH remember.
KLEFAN APPRECIATION WEEK : DAY 1 - Why do you ship them ?
Why do i ship Klefan ? Do i even need to explain ?
First i have to mention Tanya, cause she made me ship them. All of her post, i can't even remember clearly now when it happened, cause she made it look so obvious that they had chemestry that i feel like i've been shipping them since the start !
So as i just said, they have that spark, that makes it obvious ! They are made for each other ! I can't even put words on how perfect they are ! The moment they breath the same air all the sexual tension in the room is unbarrable. More importantly they accept each-other. Stefan understand Klaus cause he's been a ripper himself, and when he is a ripper as well their connection is even stronger. Klaus needs Stefan and Stefan needs Klaus ! They are SOULMATES.
If you don't see it, i don't know what you see really !
Klefan, a ship that sail itself since the 20s !
Icon Set #14 (Celebrate Xmas with TVD)
So we are 25th November, which is 1 month before Xmas, so i guess it's the right day to post that lol !

Feed back is really appreciated. I might make some more.

Post reblogged from That Bearded Atheist with 12 notes
"the fact that drugs exist make me even more atheist.
religion is grounded in the one true reality.
distorted ones are practically different realities.
the fact that we know how to fuck around with the chemicals in our brains and alter our perception so drastically is just a testament to our own power
we are our own gods."

Then this happened.
Him-I simply don't understand how people don't enjoy working out and eating healthy.
Me-How do you know that? You simply cannot state that a fat person does not eat heathly or work out. There are so many things that factor into obesity. I hate to break it to you but it is possible to be healthy at EVERY size, I'm sorry the media tells you different. People should not be shamed into being thin
Him-It's cheaper to eat well, and you get more done with your time when you're healthy.
Me-BODY FAT DOES NOT EQUAL UNHEALTHY. Where is your health campaign for the anorexics, or smokers, or drinkers, or drug abusers?
Him-What the fuck is wrong with Drinking of Smoking?
Me- Well since your argument is why wouldn't fat people want to be healthy, This is whats wrong with smoking or drinking- smoking causes lung cancer and drinking causes liver disease. If you're gonna attack one group for their health, you might as well attack them all.
Him- Yeah, but the fact is people who smoke and drink and do drugs are still attractive
Me- Okay, so smokers and drinkers, and drug users can ruin their health because you cant see it, but fat people must change their ways because you just can't turn your head the other way and ignore them?
Him-Eating healthy and not eating aren't the same. Vegetables are great.
French fries with nacho cheese, are not a vegetable. It's science.
Shame should come from within, not being active and in shape is morally reprehensible if you're young.
I don't understand why the make sizes greater than XL… clothing should not be able to serve as a makeshift tent.
Me-OH my, the ignorance that you keep spewing is UNREAL.
Him-If they're fat enough you have to turn really far because they take up so much of the frame, and I don't think that's acceptable. Also, if you're in a public place they take up more room because they're bigger… it's hard to avoid.
I don't find wildly sizeist bullshit attractive, does that mean you're not allowed to talk again?
Like ever.

Scanning the Savanna is a daily feature that brings fresh Detroit Lions and NFL related content to your fingertips each morning. Grab a cup of coffee and let's scan the savanna together.
And Spielman has always been about action.
Detroit Lions tackle Jeff Backus will be earning a combined $6.45 million in base salary and bonus. That seems like an awful lot of money to be paying somebody who has never been to the Pro Bowl in his previous 10 seasons.
Even so, members of the Apostolopoulos family, who bought Michigan's Pontiac Silverdome in 2009, say they are serious about saving the Igloo, the former home of the Penguins hockey team.

Edward Kelsey Moore,
Author and Musician
Edward Kelsey Moore was born in the U.S.A., in the state of Indiana.
He currently lives in Chicago, IL.
The Musician
Mr. Moore received a Bachelor of Music degree from Indiana University, and a
Master of Music degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook;
his teachers included renowned cellists Janos Starker and Bernard
Greenhouse. For more than two decades, Edward Kelsey Moore has been a
professional musician performing with a number of midwestern orchestras,
including the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Chicago Philharmonic, and the Joffrey
Ballet Orchestra. He is also principal cellist of the New Black Music
Repertory Ensemble. Edward Kelsey Moore has played on many
recordings, and toured nationally and internationally. In addition to
performing, Mr. Moore has been a popular professor of music, training and
nurturing a new generation of cello players.
The Author
During his high school years, and onward into college, Edward Kelsey Moore
experimented with writing short stories. As he finished his education
he set writing aside and focused on building a career
in music. Many years later, as a member of a string quartet, Edward was
hired to perform at a reception for the winners of a local writing
contest. As he played background music Edward considered: "I
could have sent in a story..." It was an inspiring event and
within a few weeks Edward Kelsey Moore began writing again.
Mr. Moore's short fiction has been published in many literary magazines
including: Indiana Review, African American Review, and Inkwell. His
short story Grandma and the Elusive Fifth Crucifix was
selected as an audience favorite on National Public Radio's Stories on Stage
series. The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is Edward
Kelsey Moore's debut novel. He is currently writing his second book.
Meet Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean. . .
Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is home away from home for this inseparable Plainview, Indiana, trio. Dubbed "the Supremes" by high school pals in the tumultuous 1960s, they weather life's storms together for the next four decades. Now, during their most challenging year yet, dutiful, proud, and talented Clarice must struggle to keep up appearances as she deals with her husband's humiliating infidelities. Beautiful, fragile Barbara Jean is rocked by the tragic reverberations of a youthful love affair. And fearless Odette engages in the most terrifying battle of her life while contending with the idea that she has inherited more than her broad frame from her notorious pot-smoking mother, Dora.
Through marriage, children, happiness, and the blues, these strong, funny women gather each Sundayat the same table at Earl's diner for delicious food, juicy gossip, occasional tears, and uproarious banter.
With wit and love, style and sublime talent, Edward Kelsey Moore brings together four intertwined love stories, three devoted allies, and two sprightly earthbound spirits in a big-hearted debut novel that embraces the lives of people you will never forget.
"The author uses warmhearted humor and salty language to bring to life a tight-knit African-American community. . . . With salt-of-the-earth characters like fearless Odette, motherless Barbara Jean, and sharp-tongued Clarice, along with an event-filled plot that readers will laugh and cry over, this is a good bet to become a best seller." —Library Journal
Throughout the Supremes' intertwined stories is one constant—meeting and eating at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat, a place where relationships are forged, scandals are aired and copious amounts of chicken are consumed. . . . A novel of strong women, evocative memories and deep friendship." —Kirkus
Edward Kelsey Moore's The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat had me nodding in recognition and laughing out loud when I wasn't crying. His delightful voice really rings true, bringing the unforgettable Odette, Clarice and Barbara Jean to vivid life on every page.—Connie Briscoe, author of Money Can't Buy Me Love
"The Supremes at Earl's-All-You-Can-Eat is a scrumptious delight! I can't wait for my old friends to get to know my new friends: Odette, Barbara Jean, and Clarice (not to mention Odette's pot-smoking mama and her friend Mrs. Roosevelt!)." – Carleen Brice, author of Orange Mint and Honey and Children of the Waters
"I am always a little suspicious of a male writer speaking for female characters, but Moore inhabits and enlarges the experience he creates so delightfully. A real triumph for a brilliant new novelist." —Suzanne Levine, author of How We Love Now: Women Talk About Intimacy after Fifty
"Edward Kelsey Moore has written a novel jam-packed with warmth, honesty, wit, travail, and just enough madcap humor to keep us giddily off-balance. It teems with memorable characters, chief among them Odette, as unlikely and irresistible protagonist as we are likely to meet. The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat is that rare and happy find: a book that delivers not only good story, but good company." —Leah Hager Cohen, author of The Grief of Others
"What a delight and a privilege it is to be among the earliest readers of this breathtaking debut. The supremely gifted, supremely entertaining, and supremely big-hearted Edward Kelsey Moore has conjured up the story of an entire community and, at its sparkling center, a trio of memorable heroines. How I long to have Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean on speed-dial! At least I'll be able to brag that I knew them before they hit the big time . . . as I can promise you they will." —Julia Glass, author of Three Junes and The Widower's Tale
Nicola's Books
Westgate Shopping Center
2513 Jackson Avenue
Ann Arbor, MI 48103
The books listed on our website are not necessarily on our shelves. If you see that the book is listed as available in 1 - 5 days, we may have it on our shelves, or we will order it for you. If you have a rush order, please call the store, and we can confirm availability immediately. Our number is 734-662-0600.
I have been quietly looking for a new owner for some time, knowing that it would be prudent to have long term plans to keep the store in good hands. I have family in England
and during the past 16 months or so, I have been away from the store for several extended periods of time, some planned, others hastily arranged. As I look to the future, it is likely that unplanned trips to England are likely to re-occur. In the meantime I will remain in place, running the store, until I have found the route that will take
Nicola's Books into its next phase. I hope that I will have a clearer view of the future by May. My goal is to keep the store vibrant and viable for the future. The store IS
NOT closing, the store IS NOT moving, I am not moving out of
Michigan and gift certificates are still all valid.
I am happy to be able
to say officially that I have found new owners for the store. Bill and Cecile Fehsenfeld, owners of Schuler
Books are adding Nicola's books to their family of bookstores. They currently have stores in Grand Rapids,
Lansing and Okemos, and they opened their first store in 1982, so they are long term book people. They are familiar
with Ann Arbor, having met here, and their first child was born here. They are excited to be reconnecting to Ann
Arbor. Nicola's Books and the Schuler organization have worked together on various topics over many years, but I had
not met Bill & Cecile until this February. We have had many meetings, phone conversations and emails since then,
and I have been delighted to discover how similar we are in our respective images of what makes for a good independent bookstore. Schuler's has developed an impressive behind
the scenes management system, which will complement the in store bookselling skills of Nicola's staff.
Do not expect to see major changes to the character of Nicola's Books. The familiar faces of most of the staff will remain, and I will be in the store at least until the end of the year, helping with the transition. Bill Cusumano,
our book buyer for adult books moved to Mississippi in mid-June, having been defeated by the Michigan winter! He had been hoping to be able to move south for a while, so this has dovetailed serendipitously with the sale to Schuler's.
The links and partnerships that Nicola's books has developed with the Michigan Theater, area schools, libraries, Universities and local non-profit organizations will remain. Our author events and other in-store
activities such as book clubs will continue.
We will be happy to answer any questions, and we expect the change in ownership to happen in mid-August. You may see some new faces in the store between now and then, as we receive training from Schuler's and as they become
familiar with how things work at Nicola's. I am confident that this change give Nicola's Books a renewed vitality,
which I expect will carry forward for many years to come.

Forget Ice Chips: Have a Protein Shake During LaborWomen in labor can enjoy a chocolate or vanilla protein shake during labor rather than being relegated to the tedium of ice chips, according to a study presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2013, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Mothers who drank a protein drink during childbirth reported higher satisfaction rates, although nausea and vomiting rates were the same as for mothers who were only given ice chips.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2013/10/forget-ice-chips-have-protein-shake-during-labor

Option: C.A.R. Ballot Position Options:
1. FOR: This ballot measure is consistent with C.A.R. policy and its passage could be beneficial to the real estate industry.2. AGAINST: This ballot measure conflicts with C.A.R. policy and its passage could have a harmful effect on the real estate industry.3. NEUTRAL: This ballot measure may be real estate related, but C.A.R. has chosen not to take a position.4. NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED: This ballot measure may be significant, but is deemed to not be related to property or real estate transactions
June 5, 2012, Primary Election Ballot
PROPOSITION 28: Legislative Term Limits Reform Act of 2012. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary: Current term limit laws allow legislators to serve up to fourteen years in the Legislature by serving a combination of two 4-year terms in the Senate and three 2-year terms in the Assembly. This measure would reduce the total number of years that a legislator can serve from fourteen to twelve. This proposition would allow legislators to serve their entire twelve years in the Assembly, Senate or a combination of the two. The measure will not apply to any legislator who was elected to office prior to its effective date.
Pro: Proponents argue that term limits need to be reformed to reduce partisanship, and put an end to the constant campaign cycle. Furthermore, proponents argue that it is critical to permit legislators to remain in a single house of the Legislature for a longer period of time in order to acquire the knowledge and expertise necessary to address public policy issues facing California.Con: Opponents argue that this proposition's sole goal is to weaken term limits for future legislators.NOTE: C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its October 2007 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 93 of 2008, known as the Limits on Legislators' terms in Office, which was rejected by the voters. This proposition would have reduced the total amount of time a person may serve in the state legislature from 14 years to 12 years; however, the initiative would have allowed a person to serve a total of 12 years either in the Assembly, the Senate, or a combination of both. Current members of the Legislature would have been permitted to serve a total of 12 consecutive years in their current house, minus those years already served concurrently.C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its Fall 2010 meetings, adopted a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on this proposition.Position: ___ FOR ___AGAINST ___NEUTRAL _X_NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED
PROPOSITION 29: HOPE 2010: California Cancer Research Act. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary: This measure would impose a distribution tax of fifty cents for every cigarette distributed on every cigarette distributor, and a floor stock tax on every dealer and wholesaler of fifty cents for every cigarette in their possession. These taxes will be instituted ninety days after the effective date of this measure. Revenue from these taxes will be deposited into the California Cancer Research Life Sciences Innovation Trust Fund to be distributed among the main fund and the Hope 2010 sub-funds, Hope 2010 Research Fund, Facilities Fund, Smoking Cessation Fund, Law Enforcement Fund and Committee Account. Revenues will be used to provide grants and loans for cancer research and facilities, tobacco and cigarette education and prevention programs, and law enforcement programs to regulate the movement of tobacco products. A small portion will go to the administration of the funds as well. The proposition would also create the HOPE 2010 Cancer Research Citizens Oversight Committee to oversee the distribution of funds, grants and loans, and to regulate the administrative processes of the California Cancer Research Life Sciences Innovation Trust Fund and to report to the general public about the activities, grants and any progress made.
Pro: Support for the measure has yet to register with the Secretary of State.
Con: Opposition to the measure has yet to register with the Secretary of State.
NOTE: C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its October 2006 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTSTE RELATED" position on Proposition 86 of 2006, known as the Tax on Cigarettes Initiative, which was rejected by the voters. Proposition 86 would have imposed an additional 13 cent tax on each cigarette distributed ($2.60 per pack), and would have also indirectly increased taxes on other tobacco products in order to provide funding to qualified hospitals for services, education and research of various disorders. C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its Fall 2010 meetings, adopted a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on this proposition.
Position: ___ FOR ___AGAINST ___NEUTRAL _X_NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED
November 6, 2012, General Election BallotPROPOSITION NUMBER PENDING: Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2012. Bond Measure.Summary: Placed on the ballot in late 2009 by SB 2VXX (Cogdill) and amended by AB 1265 (Caballero), this measure proposes to enact the Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2012 which would authorize $11.14 billion of general obligation bonds to fund water infrastructure. The allocation of the bond funds would be as follows: $3 billion for water storage projects, $2.25 billion for delta sustainability, $1.785 for ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration projects, $1.4 billion for regional water supply reliability, $1.25 billion for water recycling and treatment technologies, $1billion for groundwater protection and water quality, and $455 million for drought relief.
Pro: Proponents argue that there is an urgent need for comprehensive water reform, and this bond puts California on the path toward restoring the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, expanding water supplies and promoting conservation efforts that will ensure a clean, reliable water supply for the state.
Con: Opponents argue the state can't afford another massive bond, especially one that contains so many pet projects unrelated to solving the states water crisis. Opponents further argue that those bond funds that would be used to improve the states water supply may end up financing projects that have been previously discredited. Furthermore, this bond opens the door to the privatization of California's most precious resource by permitting private companies to own, operate and profit from reservoirs and other water-storage projects built with billions of taxpayer dollars and is tantamount to a giveaway to corporate farmers, and other special interests who will benefit from the water projects. NOTE: C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its Winter 2010 meetings, adopted a "NEUTRAL" position on this proposition.
Position: ___ FOR ___AGAINST _X_NEUTRAL ___NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED
PROPOSITION NUMBER PENDING: Prohibits Political Contributions by Payroll Deduction. Prohibitions on Contributions to Candidates. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary: If passed, this measure would prohibit corporations and labor unions from collecting political funds from their employees and members through payroll deductions. The prohibitions in this measure do not prohibit employees from contributing, but rather, requires employers and labor unions to obtain written consent, annually, before political contributions can be collected. This measure would also prohibit corporations and labor unions from making political contributions to candidates and would prohibit government contactors from contributing to government officials who have the power to award or have awarded them a contract.Pro: Proponents argue that special interests have too much power over government. They argue that corporate employers and union leaders make automatic deductions from their employee's paychecks and these funds are used to make campaign contributions which yield programs that benefit private unions, corporations and government contactors over the general public. The proponents feel that public employee union members should be required to "opt in" and give permission before their hard earned dollars are taken for political purposes that they may not agree with and that the elimination of these "automatic" funds from union and corporate coffers and the limitations of political contributions will curb actual and perceived corruption in the political process.Con: No opposition registered yet.
NOTE: C.A.R.'s board of Directors, at its 1998 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 226 of 1998, known as the Political Contributions Initiative, which was rejected by the voters. Proposition 225 would have required public and private employers and labor organizations to obtain permission annually from employees and members before withholding pay or using union dues or fees for political contributions. It would have also prohibited contributions to candidates by residents, governments or foreign entities.C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its 2005 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 75 of 2005, known as the Public Employee Union Dues Initiative, which was rejected by the voters. Under proposition 75, public employee labor organizations would have been prohibited from using dues or fees for political contributions, unless the employee provides prior consent each year on a specified written form. The measure would have required labor organizations to maintain and submit to the Fair Political Practices Commission a record containing information on individual employees' and organizations' making political contributions, although those records would not be subject to public disclosure.C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its Winter 2012 meetings, adopted a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on this proposition.
Position: ___ FOR ___AGAINST ___NEUTRAL _X_NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED
PROPOSITION NUMBER PENDING: Changes Law to Allow Auto insurance Companies to Set Prices Based on Driver's History of Insurance Coverage. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary: Under current law the Department of Insurance regulates auto insurance rates and determines eligibility for driver discounts. This measure would permit auto insurance providers to give discounts to drivers who can demonstrate that they have maintained some form of uninterrupted auto insurance and provides exemptions for lapses in coverage. These exemptions include lapses due to: active military service, unemployment (Up to 18 months), or any lapse under 90-days. If an auto insurance consumer cannot demonstrate continuous coverage, an insurer providing continuous coverage discounts shall give a reduced discount based on the number of years out of the immediately preceding five years that the consumer has been insured.Pro: Proponents argue that the measure not only rewards responsible behavior but that it is in the state's best interest to reward insurance consumers with discounts if they have continuously followed the state's mandatory insurance laws. It will also provide an incentive for consumers to purchase and maintain automobile insurance and encourage more competitive prices.Con: Opponents argue that this proposition will either serve to increase insurance rates, or force denial of coverage altogether when an insurance applicant has a gap in coverage. NOTE: C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its October 1988 meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE REALTED POSITION" on Proposition 103 of 1988, which was approved by the voters. Proposition 103, among other things, requires a driver's insurance rates to be determined using a driver's safety record, number of miles driven annually, and number of years of driving experience. The measure also permits a "good driver" discount and a persistency discount, which may only be given to those drivers who maintain continuous auto coverage with the same insurer.The C.A.R. Board of Directors, at its June 2010 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 17, which was rejected by the voters. As a follow up to Proposition 103, Proposition 17 would have permitted auto insurance companies to offer the persistency discount to new applicants (drivers) who have continuously maintained their auto insurance coverage. The measure would not have changed current law which requires insurers to base their rates primarily on a driver's safety record, miles driven annually and driving experience.
Position: ___ FOR ___AGAINST ___NEUTRAL ___NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED
PROPOSITION NUMBER PENDING: Redistricting. State Senate Districts. Referendum.
Summary: The Citizens Redistricting Commission recently completed their work and approved new district maps for the Assembly, Senate, BOE and Congress. According to the Secretary of State's Office, if this proposition is approved by the voters, it will disapprove the commissions Senate district maps and return these to the Supreme Court for readjustment. The certified Senate district maps can be viewed at the Secretary of States website at http://ag.ca.gov/cms_attachments/initiatives/pdfs/i968_resistricting_maps.pdf Pro: The Senate district maps have been challenged by some minority groups and republicans who argue they are underrepresented and that the process was not transparent enough. Proponents argue that the commission failed to allow a second round of public comment on the proposed districts which resulted in the commission approving maps that have an unfair bias toward the Democratic Party, and fail to consider appropriate opportunities for minority representation.Con: No opposition yet registered.
NOTE: The C.A.R. Board of Directors, at its October 2008 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 11, which was approved by the voters. Proposition 11, starting with the 2010 census, requires the Senate, Assembly and BOE redistricting plans to be developed by a 14 member Citizens Redistricting Commission. The legislative and BOE districts created by the commission are required to keep neighborhoods and communities of interest within one district, to be geographically compact, and forbids districts that favor or discriminate against political incumbents, candidates, or parties. Redistricting plan certification would require a unanimous vote of the commissioners or at least nine commission member votes in conjunction with voter approval. Should the commission not approve a final map or the electorate rejects the plan, California's Supreme Court would adjust the redistricting plan to adhere to the district boundary requirements held within this proposition and the maps would then be deemed as certified. The C.A.R. Board of Directors, at its November 2010 Meetings, voted to take a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 20, which was approved by the voters. A follow-up to Proposition 11 (above), Proposition 20 transferred the authority to develop Congressional districts to the Citizens Redistricting Commission.

November, 4 2014, General Election Ballot
PROPOSITION NUMBER PENDING: State Budget. Changes California Budget Process. Limits State Spending. Increases "Rainy Day" Budget Stabilization Fund. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
Committee: Taxation and Government Finance Committee
Summary: Currently 3% of General Fund revenues are required to be transferred from the General Fund into the Budget Stabilization Fund (the state's reserve account) until the total amount in the reserve Fund reaches 5% of state revenues. Under this proposition, in addition to the 3% transfer, any "unanticipated" revenues (i.e., revenues that exceeded the amount expected based on revenues received by the state over the past twenty years) not used to satisfy education funding obligations, are to be transferred into the Budget Stabilization Fund. These transfers will be required until the Budget Stabilization Fund has reached 10% of the General Fund revenues. Once the fund has reached the 10% threshold, "unanticipated" revenues will then be directed toward debt repayment and other one-time expenditures. This measure also limits the spending of the Budget Stabilization Fund to periods when state revenues are insufficient to support the previous year's expenditures or when there is a state emergency (i.e., earthquake, flood, etc.) Finally, this measure creates the Supplemental Budget Stabilization Account, which will receive half of the mandatory 3% transfer from the General Fund and which can only be used to pay for one-time infrastructure projects or debt service obligations.
Pro: Proponents argue that this proposition could limit further deficits by increasing the size of the state "rainy day" fund and by requiring unexpected or above-average revenues to be deposited into the fund. They argue that this will provide readily available funds for use during economic downturns and for other purposes.
NOTE: C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its 1979 Meetings, voted to take a "FOR" position on Proposition 4 of 1979, known as the Gann Spending Limit, which was approved by the voters. The Gann Spending Limit amended the state constitution, and limited the amount of tax revenues the state can spend each year. In a series of changes occasioned by initiatives over the years, the spending limit has been modified and adjusted to the point where it no longer works to effectively limit or "cap" spending.C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its January 2004 Meetings, voted to take a "FOR" position on Proposition 58 of 2004, known as the California Balanced Budget Act, which was approved by the voters. This proposition requires that the state enact a budget that is balanced and provides for a "mid-year adjustment," where the Governor may declare a fiscal emergency if he or she determines that the state is experiencing a revenue shortfall. The Legislature must send corrective legislation to the Governor within 45 days or it will be barred from acting on any other non-budget related measure or adjourning in joint-recess until the legislation is passed. This initiative also creates a Budget Stabilization Account (BSA). A portion of General Fund revenues would be transferred in this account until it reaches $8 billion. Funds from this account can be transferred to the General Fund through a majority vote of the Legislature and Governor's approval to be used for various purposes or to cover budget shortfalls. However, once the money is transferred into the General Fund, it will require an additional vote to be spent.C.A.R. adopted a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on Proposition 1A of 2009 part of the Governor's budget package, which was rejected by the voters. Under this proposition, "unanticipated" revenues would have been directed to meet the funding obligations under the state constitution for K-14 education, fill the existing budget reserve to its target (which would have been increased from 5% to 12.5% of state revenues) and to pay off any budgetary borrowing. Only after these payments were made, could "unanticipated" revenues have been used for other purposes. Proposition 1A also proposed the extension of numerous temporary taxes such as the Vehicle License Fee and the Personal Income Tax increases.C.A.R.'s Board of Directors, at its Fall 2011 meetings, adopted a "NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED" position on this proposition.

Town of Tonawanda, NY (WKBW)- The United States District Attorney and the Drug Enforcement Administration announced the seizure of 16 pounds of Cocaine, $170,000 in cash, and 100 pounds of Marijuana from a home on Saint Amelia Court in the Town of Tonawanda Thursday. Officers say 40-year-old Richard Himbury distributed the narcotics out of his home where he apparently lived with his mother and 3 children. Himbury was taken into Custody on Tuesday and charged with possession of narcotics with intent to distribute. He faces 10 years to life in federal prison for his charges. Following a 6 month investigation, the DEA says Himbury's drug trafficking operation stretched throughout Western New York and reaching as far as Olean and Salamanca.
"Fortunately with the arrests and seizure of all these many pounds of narcotics, he is no longer available to pollute the streets and harm the citizens of Western New York," said William Hochul, United States Attorney for the Western District of New York.
This is the 3rd major seizure by local agencies in just over a week. 10-days ago the DEA seized twice as much cocaine and arrested 3 men. Wednesday, the Erie County Sheriff's Narcotics Unit arrested two men after raiding a home on Ruspin Avenue in the Queen City. Drugs, guns, and thousands of dollars in cash were confiscated in the raid. Officials do not believe the cases are related.

Vt. to receive $9 million for rail upgradesThe Associated Press | September 05,2013BURLINGTON - The U.S. Department of Transportation is going to spend nearly $9 million to help upgrade the railroad network in western Vermont.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Joe Szabo are planning to discuss the issue Thursday afternoon in Burlington.
The Vermont grant is one of 52 projects in 37 states that were announced Thursday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Vermont rail officials have worked for years to upgrade the railroad network from Bennington to Burlington to improve the connection with rail lines in New York.
Earlier this year the New England Central Railroad, most of which is in eastern Vermont, completed a series of track upgrades with help of a $50 million federal stimulus grant. Rail beds, bridges and tracks were upgraded for passenger and freight trains.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Chester woman pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for allegedly...

How To Wash Leather Gloves
To ensure the quality of leather gloves, you will need to know how to properly care for them and how to wash leather gloves. Cleaning the gloves will keep them in excellent condition. By washing leather, you are preventing dirt and oil from becoming embedded in the leather. Be sure to only wash gloves that are labeled "washable".
In order to wash leather gloves, you will need:
- Lukewarm water
- cotton cloth or towel
- Moisturizing soap if leather is finished
- Saddlesoap if leather is unfinished
- Leather conditioner or Mink oil
- Place gloves on your hands. It is easiest to wash gloves when they are on. This will fill the gloves and allow you to get into the crevices.
- To begin cleaning your leather gloves, use the cloth or towel to dust off the leather.
- If the leather is finished, you can lightly dampen part of the cloth. Apply a small amount of the moisturizing soap. Rub cloth to form a lather. When selecting a moisturizing soap, try a natural brand for best results. If the leather is unfinished, apply saddlesoap to the cloth, instead.
- Gently blot the soap into the leather. Avoid rubbing. You can use a soft brush to buff away stubborn spots.
- Once gloves appear clean, you can remove them.
- Next, wet the remaining part of the towel. Wipe off all soaps suds.
- Allow gloves to air dry.
- Once gloves have thoroughly dried, you can apply a leather conditioner to the finished leather, or mink oil to the unfinished leather. Avoid a thick, greasy leather conditioner. A top-rated brand is Leather Honey.
After you have cleaned your leather gloves, you are going to want to keep them looking great. Remember to store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid any exposure to moisture. When storing gloves, lay them flat with tissue paper or leather between them. Avoid placing anything on top of the leather gloves, in order to prevent creasing.

Same Game, Different Approaches
2014 American Pantry Study
Download the 2014 APS brochure | Learn about the survey respondents.
After four years of managing this study, we are seeing the long term impacts of the recession and how it is driving consumer behavior and brand choices. Brand loyalty is low; consumers remain focused on saving money in the aisles, and they are becoming more resourceful as to how and where they play the shopping game. This report takes an in depth look at how to win in this fundamentally changed marketplace and offers a growth playbook for success for packaged goods companies.
The new normal
A shift has now occurred. In 2014, consumers are living more economical and cautious lifestyles as a result of the new economy. The unusually prolonged recession has left a lasting impression on consumers. According to Deloitte's 2014 American Pantry Study, 79 percent of consumers surveyed said the economy is currently in a recession and 80 percent said the American economy has fundamentally changed, revealing a sense of enduring resourcefulness among respondents. Many consumers now refuse to change their shopping habits and behave as if the recession is not over. This behavior, along with consistently low brand loyalty and the competition from rival and store brands, pose potential threats to national brands' positions. Consumers are focusing on tactics and channels that work for them.
Playbook — Recommendations for brand success
Based on our four years of data and learnings, in this study we present a growth playbook for packaged goods companies.
In our research we review the implications of this study and highlights of our findings.

Remember Ordos, the "Dubai from China"?We're once again talking about a ghost town, but this time it's Tianducheng, a luxury real estate development and Paris look-alike that's located in Hangzhou, China, about 160km from Shanghai.
The comparison stops here since Tianducheng lacks much of what Paris has to offer though. It's just one more archetype of China's architectural copycat culture.
The short video below by German filmmaker Caspar Stracke accounts for an average day in this faux-Parisian development that very few people call home.
Be ready to some weird feeling while watching the Bassin de Latone, an imitation of the famous fountain in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, and the Eiffel Tower looming above.

I've just read the following on some tumblr and it made me sad to have missed it, but damn proud to be French.
Happy Bastille Day! Joyeux 14 Juillet!
Tonight fireworks on the Eiffel Tower were soooooo fucking epic in sooo many ways!!! This year's theme was our national saying "Liberté Egalité Fraternité" (Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood). It started by our anthem, and the WHOLE fucking Champ de Mars was singing it! Patriotism is so rare in France that I was almost chocked by how wonderful it was! Everybody singing at the same time, so much patriotism it hurts.
Then the fireworks started with celebrities' voices telling why our motto is crucial in our nation. They mixed those speeches with musics that meant either something for us or freedom/revolution themed musics. It was fabulous. Everybody were singing, and dancing, it felt like so much more than simple fireworks! It was already magical, even before the Magic happened : The rainbow flag lighted up on the Eiffel Tower. […] This rainbow flag all over the emblem of France was such a big, kickass, majestic "FUCK YOU" to all who keep discrimating people different than them.
Today was a fucking historic 14th of July. I'm so damn proud of being French right now :')

Suffice to say, Koepke has tales to tell about her life and times as the director of Energee! She'll be sharing some of her better ones, not to mention some of her juicier ones, in a forthcoming book titled: "Lady of the Court: Behind the Scenes of NBA Entertainment." "I started working on this book about two years ago," Koepke said. "People have always asked me about what was going on behind the scenes, what were our rules. I've been asked a whole bunch of questions and I talk about them and answer them in the book. I think this is an informative book; I think it's an honest book. If you're an NBA fan, you would be interested in reading this book. Even if you're an average fan, in any sport, and don't know the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, you'd be interested in this book." Racine Journal-Times
Koepke's book touches on an array of subjects, from how dancers are selected to her strict stance on prohibiting dancers from dating NBA players — and the repercussions if they did — to delicate business and entertainment matters. Working for a high-profile business like the NBA has its share of peaks, like meeting with the industry's stars, and valleys, like having confrontational clashes over organizational decisions. Koepke is quick to note much of her time working in conjunction with the Bucks and the NBA was memorable and favorable. But she also candidly concedes there were times that weren't so pleasant. She brings those encounters to light in the book as well. "Ninety-five percent of the people (in the Bucks organization) were awesome to work with," Koepke said. "I never had any issues with the majority of people there. Most of the issues that came up were handled fairly. "At the same time, there were two big events that happened, two events that changed the court of my career and I had to write about them." Racine Journal-Times
"There are only 30 of us (dance directors in the NBA); it's a small community," Koepke said. "But there's never been a book written about it. Obviously, this is from my perspective. It's about passion, about dreams that come true and it's about disappointment. I will say this: I don't know if the Bucks organization will be happy with it or not. But I'm OK with that. What I wrote is truthful." Racine Journal-Times

What happens when "Portlandia" meets the Portland Trail Blazers? As Thursday's Season 4 episode demonstrated, there was plenty of opportunity for humor as Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein's feminist bookstore owner characters decided to raise the consciousness of the NBA team's Blazer Dancers. Blazer players LaMarcus Aldridge, Thomas Robinson, Robin Lopez and Damian Lillard also turned up. Blazers owner Paul Allen even made an appearance, though in a different sketch. Oregonian
Maybe the best way to sum it up was hit and miss. Having the humorless, self-righteous, but goofily likable feminist bookstore duo Toni (Brownstein) and Candace (Armisen, in a long, frumpy wig) attending a Blazers game is a great idea. As you'd expect, these two sections of Portland don't seem to exist in the same universe. The self-consciously politically correct feminists are aghast at the Blazer Dancers, who take the court in revealing outfits and jump around in perky, sexy style. "Why are they barely wearing anything?" Toni and Candace wonder. "Let them speak!" Oregonian
The Portland Trail Blazers and owner Paul Allen are going to be featured in the new April 10 episode of IFC's "Portlandia". Back in October there were trailers and a film crew shooting at the Blazers practice facility in Tualatin. The Columbian
Finally giving us an answer to the age-old question "What if NBA stars Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan got together with everyone from Danielle Fishel to the cast of The League to Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Recreation, and the whole lot of them sat down at long, mismatched, fold-out tables to do a live-read of the script for the 1996 cinematic classic, Space Jam?," Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan got together last night with everyone from Danielle Fishel to the cast of The League to Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Recreation, and the whole lot of them sat down at long, mismatched, fold-out tables to do a live-read of the script for the 1996 cinematic classic, Space Jam. And it turns out the answer is: I will like it. Uproxx
Griffin's carved out a niche for himself in pop culture because of his sense of humor. Using a mix of sarcasm, self-deprecation and sophistication, Griffin has become the go-to NBA player whether it's a funny commercial, an internet sketch or even a movie cameo. Neal Brennan, co-creator of "Chappelle's Show" on Comedy Central, is a stand-up comedian, writer and director. He's also a friend of Griffin's. "I would never, I mean ... I don't (say) people are funny who aren't funny. It means too much to me," Brennan said. "And he's funny." Orange County Register
"Whenever I tell people Blake Griffin is funny, they're like, 'Oh, whatever. That's nice,'" Brennan said. "But he could be a professional comedy writer." Griffin said he'd like to write or direct sketches or movies, and he's always dreamed about "Saturday Night Live." So far, most of his comedy work, though, has been in front of the camera. After making a comedy video with comedian Ben Glieb, Griffin was cast in a commercial for the video game "Rage." Orange County Register
Shaquille O'Neal stands alone as the only NBA player to actually turn a profit in the hip-hop game with his debut album "Shaq Diesel," a 12-track compilation that went platinum in 1994. The seven-footer can also toot his horn when it comes to longevity in the field, having produced five albums in total. That's the sort of impact Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is looking to make when he eventually and officially, takes the music industry by storm. "If my profile continues to increase, I think I can go platinum with my music," Lillard told CSNNW.com. "Not to knock anybody else who has done it, but I can actually rap. I have a story to tell. It's not going to just be about basketball. I have more content than that. With the way I know I can get down, and the producers that I'll align myself with, there's no reason not to think I couldn't go platinum. Shaq proved it's possible." CSNNW.com
The All-Star point guard says he anticipates releasing a mixtape sometime this year consisting of 10 tracks to spawn up some buzz before he drops his first album. Just as smooth and effortless is his shooting stroke; he says freestyling and putting verses together "comes more naturally" to him. "It's something that comes easy to me," Lillard said. "It's another talent that I have." CSNNW.com
It doesn't end there for the venturous second year guard out of Weber State. Lillard is interested in starring in movies, too. "I'm not an actor but I think it's something that I can grow into if given time," he acknowledged. "I would like to play a part like how Ray Allen played Jesus Shuttlesworth. That's something I'm interested in among some other things." CSNNW.com
Shaq is looking for help making his video game dream come true. The retired center-turned-TNT analyst is teaming up a video production company and IndieGogo to raise money to bring back Shaq Fu, the entirely bizarre video game that he starred in when he was 22. "I don't think it was the worst," O'Neal told the Associated Press. "When you talk about the worst, you've got to talk about sales. I actually sold a lot of games, but when I did the first 'Shaq-Fu,' that was at the end of analog right before digital came out. It wasn't a bad game. It wasn't a good game, but it wasn't awful." For The Win
Some day, Davis hopes to have a more personal rooting interest in the awards show. He already is more involved in the film industry than any of his contemporaries in the NBA. Since 2002, he's been working on film projects, and he's currently writing his first script for a potential Christmas completion, a basketball title that he says is like "Boyz n the Hood meets He Got Game." "Maybe it'll be Oscar-worthy," he said, laughing, "but hopefully it'll be something that will give me the respect that I'm just looking for." Bleacher Report

Japan's Misaki Matsutomo-Ayaka Takahashi (pic) lie in wait for Malaysian pair Vivian Hoo-Woon Khe Wei in the second round of the All-England badminton championships starting on Tuesday. - Filepic
BIRMINGHAM: Last year, top Malaysian women's doubles pair Vivian Hoo-Woon Khe Wei made an impressive run to the quarter-finals of the All-England.
But despite winning the SEA Games gold medal last year, Vivian-Khe Wei have yet to make a successful breakthrough.
A string on unimpressive results means the pair are only ranked 16th in the world.
However, that has not dampen Khe Wei's spirit as she seeks to emulate their quarter-final appearance.
It will certainly be tough as Vivian-Khe Wei are down to meet England's Heather Oliver-Kata Robertshaw in the first round. If they win, they are drawn to face Japan's Misaki Matsutomo-Ayaka Takahashi in the second round.
Matsutomo-Takahashi, the world No. 4, are riding high following their German Open success on Sunday. The Japanese were simply too strong for Vivian-Khe Wei when both pairs met in the quarter-finals in Mulheim.
Khe Wei, however, refuses to admit defeat just yet and is looking forward to turning the tables this time around.
"I thought Vivian and I played fairly well in Germany and the results weren't too bad," said Khe Wei.
"It was just during the quarter-finals that our Japanese opponents just blew us away as they were too strong. We definitely didn't play well in that match.
"But I don't think it's impossible to beat them ... especially since we just faced them and the memory of playing them is still fresh.
"The target is definitely to make the quarter-finals once again. But with such a tough draw, we definitely need to give our best and go for an upset," added Khe Wei.
The Ng sisters - Hui Lin-Hui Ern – are the other Malaysian pair in the fray. They will meet Matsutomo-Takahashi in the first round.
In mixed doubles, Malaysia's sole representatives – Chan Peng Soon-Lai Pei Jing – look to be heading for an early exit as they are down to meet world champions Tontowi Ahmad-Liliyana Natsir of Indonesian in the first round.
