General News, Videos Comments Off on Hugh Appears on "MTV After Hours"
Back on December 3rd, Hugh Jackman met with Josh Horowitz for "MTV After Hours," but the "interview" was only posted yesterday. I'm not sure if there will be more to this, as it's just a parody of Hugh joking he'll be making a movie based on Josh's life, but it's pretty funny regardless. It's a miracle Hugh managed to deliver some of these lines – especially the song at the end – without bursting into laughter. Check out pictures from the interview below, or the short video below.

Apparently This Day Can Get Sexier
You know what I admire most about the creators of Jersey Shore? They dared to look at Snooki and say, "What if we had two drunk, slutty Ewoks?" And yet no Emmy nom. God, I hate this country.

Ewoks eat pizza?
That's the jeans fraying. Apparently, you have never cut the legs off of a pair of jeans to use as shorts.
don't forget the her missed belt-loop.
Has anyone ever noticed if you were to put a wig, some fake, ugly tits and a skirt on that Ronnie guy from Jersey Shore he would practically look identical to deanna? Seriously, she looks like dude. Someone should look into it, maybe she had a sex change op. I'm pretty sure she used to be a dude.
Come to mamma. That's it, eat the taint.
I'm uttering it right now. I think I don't recognize her without the huge sunglasses. Is that really her/it?
I thought that was her.
yup. I did. haha. That first pic had me convinced it was her.
TOTALLY. AGREE. She didn't even need the lipo. Moron.
In every picture . . . guy named Paco serving fried food . . . wishing he called in sick today.
Those yard gnomes sure are ugly.
Emmy nom?
Chewbacca and Kathy Bates procreated this bastard child?
Call me a pig, but I think J-wow looks hot. The sluttier the outfit, the better.
If I want to jerk off to Ms. Susie Homemaker, I'll drive to the grocery store and watch some miserable housewife decide which jar of pickles to buy while her rugrat wails like a siren in the shopping cart.
DJ, I hate to say it but I have to reluctantly agree.
I say j-woww is not hot. Her tits were purchased on discount and her face looks like she fell out of her trailer and subsequently got run over by it, again and again. Bitch can't even afford a decent grade wig/weave or whatever the hell is attached to her ugly head. The only pretty one is that Sammi character, who evidently paid premium for her rack.
No one has ever said J-Woww does not look hot.
It is the two little trolls there that are the problem.
J-Woww is highly fuckable.
The rest of the cast can get hit by a Mack truck and I could care less.
well if i call you a pig then i have to call myself a pig as well. i would so wreck her it is not funny.
= 0
I really thought that was Snooki from behind. That is crazy.
JWow looks nice but trashy as always.
lol thought that was snookie too from the boots.. yeah the one in pink looks ok with oversized shades covering her rapidly aging face
It ages fast because she lives pretty hard.
please i partied twice as hard. dust, acid, that's not what ages you it's the sun
My anaconda still don't want none
Where's Dexter when you need him!
i believe this is soprano's turf..

It looks to me like the film had adhesive tape stuck to it that was later peeled off. Pulling away sticky tape gives off light - http://ksj.mit.edu/tracker/2008/10/b...etc-scotch-tap
It looks like the tape was applied to the base side of the film and the 'texture' of the image is due to the tape coming away in little jerks resulting in flashes of light.
This may be the reason that the image 'curls' around the sprocket holes.
I'd say, unless the OP had applied tape at some time, is that this is a factory problem. Possibly from the tape used to hold a bulk roll before the film was spooled into individual cassettes?

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
ESPN The Magazine predicts four losses by the Packers, two to the Bears
ESPN The Magazine, using data from Advanced Football Analytics, projects the Packers to win the NFC North Division with a record of 12-4.
The prediction is contained in the current edition of the magazine, which previews the NFL season.
The four games it has Green Bay losing are to Seattle, New Orleans and twice to the Bears.
The Packers' chances of making the playoffs are pegged at 58.2%. In the playoffs, the magazine has Green Bay beating Chicago, 34-24, before losing to Seattle, 31-17, in the next round.
The metrics call for a Broncos vs. Saints Super Bowl, with the Broncos winning, 35-30.
The Packers will win 12 games if "Eddie Lacy is one of the NFL's best RBs and (Julius) Peppers and (Clay) Matthews solidify the rush," the magazine says.
GB will win nine games "if the O-line opens up Aaron Rodgers to injury; he's been sacked 2.7 times per game since '11, second most in the NFL."
In a poll the magazine conducted of 82 NFL players, one of the questions was: "Which QBs are the most and least deserving of making $15 million-plus in 2014?"
On the most deserving side, Denver's Peyton Manning got the most votes with 65%, followed by Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers at 24% and New Orleans' Drew Brees at 11%.
On the least deserving ledger, Chicago's Jay Cutler led at 33%, followed by Detroit's Matthew Stafford (29%), New York's Eli Manning (13%) and Atlanta's Matt Ryan (13%).
Rodgers is to receive $40 million this year - $35 million signing bonus, $4.5 million base salary and $500,000 workout bonus.

Views Around Hyde (3)
These are the two photos I took in Gower Hey Woods only days apart - on 26th and 30th November - last year.
Thanks to Dave for these pictures from last November... as we are now approaching the same date I'm wondering if we are in for a similar sight soon... it as certainly been cold enough at night... yet the seasons still seem to be mixed up with flowers showing and both dead leaves and buds on the same trees. I've noticed that the Holly trees are very full of berries, and the birds are visiting the garden in greater numbers. Grit salt is being advertised, and snow shovels are for sale on the market.
If you have pictures to share off the views you come across this winter please send them in and we can show of the beauty of Hyde in winter.

Paris vs. Reality
The French government proposes austerity for everyone except the state.
Last week the French government downgraded projected GDP growth for this year and next and reported that its jobless ranks had risen to an 11-year high. Market jitters over French exposure to the euro-zone debt crisis have sent bank shares on a roller-coaster ride for weeks. Oh, and Paris's own public debt has reached 85% of GDP. The French government has not managed a budget surplus in nearly 40 years.
Faced with this unfolding economic crisis, you might think the responsible thing for a government to do would be slash public spending while quickly finding ways to unleash private economic growth. Pity then that French Prime Minister François Fillon last week presented a fiscal package that would do just the opposite.
To begin with, the so-called "austerity" plan is austere only for French citizens and businesses—not for the French government itself: Of the €12 billion in proposed "budgetary economies" through this year and next, only €1 billion entails anything close to spending cuts (by way of frozen grants). The rest of the government's supposed savings are comprised of outright increases in taxes and other fees. Some of these come with the usual paternalistic rhetoric of protecting the French from themselves, such as higher consumption-tax rates on soft drinks, cigarettes and liquors. Others amount to a nod to "social justice," as they are designed to make France's wealthier citizens contribute even more to the state.
The government's pending balanced-budget rule has proved distinctly unhelpful in France's fiscal debates. Though it has not yet cleared France's constitutional-amendment procedure, the so-called "golden rule" has allowed Paris to focus on balancing the budget at any cost rather than actually making the economy healthier—namely, through reduced public spending and more robust private growth. The indebted government's general expenditures (including social security) are now worth more than 55% of GDP. Meanwhile, according to the government's own figures, the economy is forecast to grow only 1.75% this year and next (and even these projections seem optimistic).
Last week's plan attacked tax loopholes, which is probably a good thing. But it should first have attacked so-called "administration loopholes" by reining in local public spending. Throughout France's 30-year decentralization, local governments have enjoyed increased power with no added accountability, and their rising expenditures for favored political causes have gone all but unchecked.
More importantly, Paris's beeline last week for taxes on high incomes and capital gains will be noxious to the country's already weak entrepreneurial and investment climate. Pandering to Frenchmen's anti-rich resentments will only enforce the mentality that it is better to remain poor and quietly accept welfare than to be productive and prosper. The tax and fee hikes also increase investors' uncertainty about what the regime will do next. Consider, for instance, Mr. Fillon's proposal to cancel a tax deduction on capital gains for the sale of second homes. Mr. Fillon proposed to scrap the deduction on Wednesday Aug. 24—one day before it would have expired.
Even if Paris could heap all these new burdens on its productive citizens without hurting growth, the size of the plan is laughable: €12 billion in "savings" versus a 2011 budget deficit of €95.7 billion. France can not tax its way out of debt, and the growth it needs will require completely overhauling the role of the state. With presidential elections coming up next year, now is apparently not the time for such serious reforms.
The cost of servicing the government's debt will soon become the largest item on the national budget and two-thirds of that debt is held by foreign institutions. Paris clearly thinks it can afford to keep delaying reality a bit longer; in the current climate, markets may not agree for very long. It's time to start worrying about France.

Who would have ever imagined? The revitalization of Santa Clara College Preparatory High School....
Who would have ever imagined? Five years ago, Santa Clara College Preparatory High School was being evaluated for closure. Five years ago, the sports programs were less than notable, having winless programs. Five years ago, classrooms were run down, grimy and uninviting. Five years ago, its enrollment was at its lowest in history.
Who would have ever imagined that a new administration would turn this failing school around to be the county's top-performing educational institution, with academics and athletic programs striving beyond words?
Who imagined such, Mrs. O'Reilly-Hill and the exceptional faculty and staff of Santa Clara College Preparatory High School.
Working collectively with the community and parents respectively, Santa Clara College Preparatory High School has climbed its way to the top yet again. Daily, the administration is working on creating memories that once strived in the late 80's, today.
The campus is filled with well-rounded, academically sound students and a feeling of pure excellence. With students headed to Norte Dame, UCLA, USC, the Air Force Academy, and Columbia, academics at Santa Clara College Preparatory High School has once again taken the lead, providing a first-rate education. But it's not just the academics that are strong; the family community, teaching of compassion and respect, its athletic programs, performing arts, state of the art technology and willingness to make a difference are evident amongst its student body.
Who would have ever imagined five years ago, that today, a student would travel as far south as the Conejo Valley and as north as Ojai to attend. Who would have ever imagined that the undefeated, Frontier League Girl's Tennis Champion would be part of our student body? Who would have imagined that our Cross Country Teams would be headed to CIF? Who would have ever imagined that one of our very own "Saints" would be the CASC Region 7 President? Who would have ever imagined our football, basketball, baseball, soccer, girls' softball, golf, girls' volleyball and swim teams would have the notoriety they have today? It's all those who love Santa Clara College Preparatory High School and their constant commitment to Catholic education.
If you would like for your child to be a part of the Santa Clara College Preparatory High School family, please join us on Sunday, November 16, 2008 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
All are welcomed to come and experience our classroom procedures and curriculum subject matter. Tour our beautiful campus and meet our amazing faculty and staff.
This is a free event, opened to new and transfer students. Parents are encouraged to attend with their children.
It is a chance to talk with our administration and as a family, discuss the incredible opportunities that Santa Clara College Preparatory High School has to offer. This is especially important for those already attending honors and college prep courses as 8th graders.
Families interested in private education, but concerned about the financial obligation are encouraged to learn about our financial assistance opportunities, as well as, academic, performing arts and athletic scholarship programs.
Should you have any questions or are unable to attend, but would like to receive information regarding Santa Clara College Preparatory High School are encourgaged to contact Lorraine Yoro, Director of Admissions at (805) 483-9502 Ext. *8, 179 or by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Piece of Normal: A Novelby Sandi Kahn Shelton
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Dear Lily . . .
At age thirty-four, Lily Brown has her life just the way she likes it. And what's not to like? She's got a great job as an advice columnist for the local newspaper, an adorable four-year-old son, and an ex-husband, Teddy, who still thinks she's wonderful. She even lives in the same beach house where she grew up, with a great view of Long Island Sound and plenty of beach roses to smell.
So what if she won't let herself date anyone until she finds a new girlfriend for Teddy, who happens to still be hung up on her? So what if she hasn't changed a thing in her parents' house, even twelve years after their tragic deaths? So what if it's been ten years since she's heard from her younger sister, Dana, who stormed out of the house in a rage when she was a teenager? Lily is fine.
But it's funny how life has a way of upsetting even the most perfectly laid-out plans, and when one night Lily finds herself painting ghastly orange highlights into her lovely auburn hair, even she suspects that she's been in something of a rut. And then, when her long-lost little sister shows up, bringing with her the fun and drama and hell-raising spontaneity Lily has missed, her life suddenly takes a turn for the unexpected.
To Lily's chagrin, Dana's energy seems to enthrall everyone, especially Teddy. As the tension between the sisters escalates, Dana reveals decades-old family secrets that she's been burdened with all these years, and Dear Lily must heed her own advice about accepting life's messiness and chaos.
With her trademark blend of sparkling wit and characters you can't forget, Sandi Kahn Shelton tells a compelling and universal story of two sisters who learn what they need to let go of, and what they have to hold on to as tightly as they can.
From the Hardcover edition.
After years of estrangement, advice columnist Lily Brown's long-lost sister Dana returns to their childhood home, a decade after their parents' deaths, bringing vital energy and excitement and forcing Lily to confront a long-buried family secret that could change her sense of self and family forever. By the author of What Comes After Crazy. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
Praise for sandi kahn shelton's What Comes After Crazy
Funny, funny, funny, from page one. You can't help but root for the lovable Maz Lombard, who's surrounded by an eccentric mother, a headstrong daughter, a deadbeat husband, and way too much whole-wheat flour. Sandi Kahn Shelton's writing sparkles with humor and insight. -Lolly Winston, author of Good Grief
A zany, affecting first novel. . . . Plenty of laughs here. -People
A skillfully constructed, economically written novel that is funny, sad, and almost painfully accurate about human failings. -Boston Globe
A delightful beach book. . . . Funny/sad and frantic/romantic, but with serious undertones. . . . A great read. -Hartford Courant
I loved What Comes After Crazy. Smart, warm, and hilarious —Jennifer Crusie, author of Bet Me and Faking It

Dangerous intersections: Readers chose which ones they think are the worst
NAPLES - Earlier this year, the Daily News invited readers to tell us which intersections they think are most dangerous. Here are some of the responses.
■ U.S. 41 at Fifth Avenue South
■ Immokalee Road at U.S. 41 North
■ Golden Gate Parkway at U.S. 41 North
■ Golden Gate Parkway at Airport-Pulling Road
■ Pine Ridge Road at U.S. 41 North
■ Davis Boulevard at Collier Boulevard
■ U.S. 41 North at Anchor Rode Drive
■ Exit to Pine Ridge Road from Quail Run
■ Barefoot Williams Road at U.S. 41 East
■ Exit to U.S. 41 North from the Granada shopping complex
■ Pine Ridge Road into the Forest Glen Apartments
■ Oil Well Road at Immokalee Road
■ Randall Boulevard at Everglades Boulevard
■ Everglades Boulevard at Golden Gate Boulevard
■ Everglades Boulevard at Immokalee Road
■ Immokalee Road at Wilson Boulevard
■ Collier Boulevard at U.S. 41 East
■ Exit to Oil Well Road from Palmetto Ridge High School
■ Golden Gate Parkway at Santa Barbara Boulevard
(Monday, it will be your chance at naplesnews.com to Sound Off about traffic. Return to our website on Monday and take several polls about traffic in our area.)
Thursday: Collier's most dangerous intersections
Friday: South Lee's most dangerous intersections
Weekend: Dangerous intersections, by community
Monday: Readers' choices and several polls for you to Sound Off about Southwest Florida traffic
(Pick up copies of the Daily News this Sunday and Monday for newspaper versions of this series and a full-page map showing the most dangerous intersections)
Some identified major, heavily traveled intersections. Others pointed out smaller intersections close to home.
Either way, more than 100 Southwest Floridians — including all of the driver's education students at Palmetto Ridge High School this past fall — weighed in when the Daily News asked readers: What is the worst intersection in Collier County and south Lee County?
Together, the intersection of Airport-Pulling Road at Pine Ridge Road and the Interstate 75 interchange at Immokalee Road constituted a majority of the responses. But a few other intersections stood out as well.
■Dangerous intersections: Your chance to sound off about traffic POLLS
Interstate 75 interchange at Immokalee Road
The Immokalee Road interchange at Interstate 75 was mentioned by nearly half of the students from Palmetto Ridge High School who responded to the Daily News request.
However, it didn't fall into the Daily News analysis because of the differences in reporting crashes and traffic patterns at interchanges and intersections.
"The construction backs up traffic going both directions on Immokalee and people coming off the interstate," Zack Wolf, 16, said in his essay, written before the road work there was completed. "The traffic is also bad coming out of the stores near there, like Super Target and Walmart. I remember it taking me half an hour to get out of the Walmart parking lot because traffic was so bad."
Airport-Pulling Road at Pine Ridge Road
Collier County's busiest intersection not surprisingly had more crashes — 274 from 2006 through 2008 — than any other intersection included in the Daily News analysis of more than 40 of the county's biggest intersections during that period.
That fact wasn't lost on more than a dozen readers who identified Airport-Pulling at Pine Ridge as the worst intersection in Collier and south Lee counties. It has shopping at all four corners and a high school up the road.
Steve Weichelt, 66, of North Naples, said that before the installation of the red-light cameras in April 2009, he regularly saw vehicles running almost all of the red lights at Airport-Pulling at Pine Ridge.
"People would run the lights with impunity," Weichelt wrote. "You could be the first car stopped at the light with a sheriff's deputy sitting next to you and you'd watch in amazement as the red-light runners ran the red lights and the sheriff's deputy would do nothing. Nothing!"
U.S. 41 East at Southwest Boulevard
It's not a big intersection. In fact, many Collier County residents may not even know where it is.
But a few identified this intersection along U.S. 41 East as the worst in the county.
The Whistler's Cove Apartments are to the north, and single-family homes and a convenience store are on the south side. There is no traffic light, only stop signs for traffic trying to turn onto or cross U.S. 41 East.
Traffic heading west around the bend can be difficult to see. Bicyclists and pedestrians cross the highway when the traffic thins out.
"You count your blessings every time you cross without being hurt," wrote Huguette Peltier, 66, who lives nearby. "There are accidents every week on that corner and nobody cares because it is an area of mainly poor people. We have been asking for a traffic light for years and nothing has been done yet."
Golden Gate Parkway at Goodlette-Frank Road
Among the new teen drivers who responded to the Daily News request, several identified Golden Gate Parkway at Goodlette-Frank Road as the county's worst intersection.
They wrote that the intersection is often crowded with vehicles, pedestrians and Naples High School students and staff.
"It is dangerous and it doesn't help that they are lowering the yellow light time to only 3 seconds!" Taylor White, 16, wrote. "We already speed up so we can make it through. This intersection is one of the most popular, because it is where all the cool stores are (Coastland Center mall)."
Everglades Boulevard at Oil Well Road
Several Palmetto Ridge High School driver's education students responded that the worst intersection is Oil Well Road and Everglades Boulevard.
Perhaps this intersection was popular because it's near their school.
Students said the intersection is overcrowded with motorists speeding at times, stopping improperly at the four-way stop and confusion caused by the construction.
"To make matters worse, there is no traffic light to control traffic flow, but a stop sign," wrote Nico Touchet, 16. "If the inexperience of drivers, the construction and the four-way stop is factored in, this intersection could be deadly."
U.S. 41 at Bonita Beach Road
When Tereza Marks heads home to Bonita Springs from Naples, she has a terrible time turning left on Bonita Beach Road off of U.S. 41.
"I often have to wait for three or four turns of the light in order to finally make the turn," she said.
Marks said that intersection is the worst in south Lee County.
"In addition, for some reason, U-turns are still allowed at this intersection," Marks continued. "This creates problems for those making a right onto U.S. 41 as well as those in the far left-turn lane, as even fewer cars are able to get through the light."

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
I love, love, love Antonio's!! Frank and his staff are amazing to work with! The food is always spectacular and the facility is beautiful!
Everyone at Antonios exceeded my expectations! My wedding was 3 years ago and when we see my husbands friends from out of town they still talk about it and say it was the best wedding they have ever been to! From the venue to the food to all the other details, everything was perfect and I wouldn't have changed a thing! Frank and staff were sure to attend to every detail and ensured my husband and I were happy and satisfied the entire night! I have to give the "late night finger foods" two thumbs up and so did our guests, everyone said they were so full from the delicious dinner but somehow found room for the late night foods and raved about them, also they are helpful with keeping your guests not overly intoxicated :) I would definitely recommend Antonios for your wedding venue!
Frank was always wonderful every time I called or stopped in. Accommodating my wedding party to get ready beforehand, providing centerpieces, extra tables, etc. he even moved the floor plan around because he knew I did not like the way the tables were set up. The food we chose was amazing and all our guests were raving that it was the best "wedding food" they had ever had and it was overall the best/most fun/beautiful wedding they had been to. Frank even stopped in during the ceremony to check on me to make sure all was going well and if there was anything else I needed. The waiters were polite and always came up to the head table to get my approval before they made their next move. I'm extremely happy with everything overall from Antonio's and would absolutely do it all over again!
Frank & Tony are wonderful to work with! They're family oriented and bent over backwards for us, making us feel stress free. It's been 3 years and our guests are still talking about the amazing food. We had a very large wedding and the venue is large enough for people to not feel crowded. Choosing this venue will be the best choice of your wedding planning!
I could not have asked for a better place to have my wedding reception! From the beginning of the planning process to the end of our wedding night, Frank and Tony were always there for us. Our individual needs were always put first, and our wedding night was unforgettable. The staff was courteous and responsive to any need we may have had. My husband's family and friends are from out of town, and we still hear rave reviews on the entire night...especially the amazing food! We loved the fact that Antonio's has the Quality Inn Hotel right on the premises. This made it very convenient for guests to simply walk to their rooms at the end of the night. We loved our experience here so much that we continue to have family banquets here, including our daughter's baptism. We highly recommend Antonio's Banquet and Conference Center. You will not be disappointed!
Antonio's was my first choice for a venue because of it's proximity to the Quality Inn. I liked that guests could go just upstairs and have accommodations for the evening. Dealing with Frank, was difficult at times especially since he was difficult to get in contact with (which I was advised by another bride he'd dealt with too...) We played phone tag for weeks at a time at one point but as we approached our wedding day it seemed as though I took priority and he seemed much more receptive to my inquiries.
The venue itself is lovely and the waiters, bartenders, etc. were all wonderful. The only issue we had was when my step mother arrived at the venue for the reception, she said there were dirty linens and other set-up materials still in the hall. She asked someone to remove them and 20 minutes later they were still there. After asking again, this time slightly more assertively, someone finally cleaned up the mess. Luckily I was not there at the time as we did not arrive until after cocktail hour. I would have been extremely upset to find that set-up was not complete and the location was not immaculate by the time my guests were arriving so I'm glad I did not find this out until after the fact.
Regardless, the reception was great, the food was amazing and I have received many compliments on the location. Many of our guests booked rooms the night of the wedding and so many expressed appreciation that they did not have to drive home after the reception. Our room was complimentary and was large and decently decorated.
All and all, I'd recommend them. Just be assertive. It seems like that's the best way to do business with this venue.
Frank is so helpful. Even though we aren't getting married until June 2016, we cant wait! Antonio's is perfect for out of town guests which we have a lot of! We love it at Antonio's!
I loved Antonios from the moment i saw it! i loved how guests could just go right up to the hotel after! although... when my planner had gotten there.. the dishes they set the tables with were dirty and it was difficult getting in contact with the owner Tony! Now Frank he was AWESOME! helped us with everything! the bartenders were awesome and i couldn't thank them enough!
The place was a mess when I came at the time they told me I could come to set up for my wedding. We had to wait two hours before we could set up. I was late for almost everything else I had to do that day (I was the bride). They also broke my cake topper when they tried to move my cake, they still have not repaid me anything. They were rude to me and the DJ who I brought (the DJ was wonderful). In all I only liked the food. But In all truth to me (not my husband who said things were ok) I would not tell anyone to have their wedding there.

Protestant Mystics and Catholic Mystics
I've begun work on a lesson plan for a course on "the Protestant Mystics" that I will be offering at the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Atlanta this spring (details as to date and time, etc. still have to be worked out, but as soon as I know the particulars I'll post them here). For my research, I'm using an old, out of print anthology edited by Anne Fremantle, The Protestant Mystics. The book features a wonderful introduction by W. H. Auden, which I've quoted from on this blog … [Read more...]

I recently bought a nice 645 camera and it has replaced all small and medium format gear.
Here's the thing...before I slimmed down, I had too many choices...and it was often more than a little paralyzing.
It may seem counter intuitive but, having fewer gear choices really is liberating.
That's the beauty of the Rollei, to me... the only choice is to take it or not. Everything else is simplicity and it forces you to concentrate on taking the photo, not fiddling with formats or lenses. I feel like it has clarified a lot of my photography for me and made me a better photographer because it makes me think about each image. Don't get me wrong there is definitely a place for having choices. But I feel like now if I were told I had to give up all my cameras but one, I could be happier with that decision now.

Communities, networks and governance

moreNeighbourhood planning offers a critical analysis of community-based planning activity in England, framed within a broader view of collaborative rationality and its limits. From the recent experience of drawing up parish plans, and attempts to connect these to formal policy frameworks, it identifies lessons for future planning at the neighbourhood scale. It is not a manual on community planning practice, nor does it provide a formula for producing parish or neighbourhood plans. But in the context of the latest 'localism' agenda in England it, first, examines the potential contribution of neighbourhood planning to building a 'collaborative democracy' and, second, asks how much movement towards genuine local partnership, and consensus around development decisions, can be achieved through the rescaling of 'statutory' planning as opposed to expending greater effort locally on building stronger relationships, and generating trust, between 'people and planning' less

Apparently, the idea is to cap tuition for Title IV-eligible programs (vocational programs) at a set multiple of the starting salaries of recent grads. It's a horrible idea -- hiring and salaries have far more to do with the economy than with any given program -- but for a fun thought experiment, imagine applying something like it to graduate programs in evergreen disciplines.

Enhanced reimbursement is provided to Medicaid-enrolled primary care providers and emergency medicine providers for selected services when one or both of the following apply:
Primary care providers and emergency medicine providers include the following:
Standard enhanced reimbursement for HPSA-eligible primary care procedures is an additional 20 percent of the physician maximum allowable fee. The enhanced reimbursement for HPSA-eligible obstetrical procedures is an additional 50 percent of the physician maximum allowable fee.
Providers may use HPSA modifier AQ (Physician providing a service in a HPSA) with the following categories of procedure codes (while the AQ modifier is defined for physicians only, any Medicaid HPSA-eligible provider may use the modifier when appropriate):
To obtain the HPSA-enhanced reimbursement, providers are required to indicate modifier AQ along with the appropriate procedure code on the claim. (Refer to the Pediatric Services Performed in a Health Professional Shortage Area section of this topic for information regarding use of modifier AQ for pediatric services.)
Medicare HPSA policy differs from Wisconsin Medicaid's HPSA policy in many ways. Medicaid covers more services than Medicare, allows a broader range of providers to receive the incentive payment, pays a higher bonus, and defines HPSA differently than Medicare. Most importantly, Wisconsin Medicaid pays the enhanced reimbursement to physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurse midwives while Medicare pays the HPSA incentive payment only to physicians.
For these reasons, Medicare crossover claims that are eligible for the Medicaid HPSA incentive payment may not automatically be forwarded to ForwardHealth from Medicare. Providers may have to submit these claims directly to ForwardHealth.
If a provider renders three or fewer antepartum care visits, the provider is required to bill the appropriate E&M service code with modifier TH (Obstetrical treatment/services, prenatal or postpartum) listed first and the HPSA modifier AQ listed second.
Pediatric services include office and other outpatient services and emergency department services for members 18 years of age and younger.
Reimbursement for eligible procedure codes with HPSA modifier AQ automatically includes the pediatric incentive payment, when applicable, since the incentive payment is based on the age of the member. Providers should not submit claims with modifier TJ in addition to HPSA modifier AQ for the same procedure code. Providers should only include the HPSA modifier in situations where both of these modifiers apply. Wisconsin Medicaid will determine the member's age and determine the proper HPSA reimbursement for these procedure codes.
Modifier TJ may be used when submitting claims for eligible services in situations that do not qualify for HPSA-enhanced reimbursement.
Procedure codes 99381-99385 and 99391-99395 are not eligible for HPSA incentive payments, regardless of the billing or rendering provider's or member's location, since reimbursement for these procedure codes includes enhanced reimbursement for HealthCheck services.
Providers who submit claims for the HPSA-enhanced reimbursement inappropriately are reimbursed the lesser of the provider's usual and customary fee or the maximum allowable fee, assuming that all other ForwardHealth policies are followed. The enhanced reimbursement amount is not paid when the HPSA modifier is submitted but the provider or member is not eligible for HPSA designation.

A new study finds that many women with early stage breast cancer don't benefit from chemotherapy.
Alberto Salazar set a world record in the 1981 New York Marathon. He won that race three times and added a win in Boston in 1982. He also qualified for the 1984 Olympic Marathon, where he finished 15th.
Today, Salazar coaches Olympic runners at his base in Oregon.
Salazar told Here and Now's Alex Ashlock that he's skeptical about just how much faster the 26.2 mile race can be run. "I don't believe in our lifetime, the human body as it is right now… I don't see the marathon going under 2 hours," he said.

The best time to hear AC/DC besides during the obvious coked-out, high-speed cop chase is at a party. At least this is my personal fave: during a party I'm throwing and controlling the music being played.
I love the part of the night when it is appropriate to put on the first AC/DC song, really loud. It has to be pretty late when the strangers start filing in, cigarettes are being smoked everywhere, and the rules have been tossed out. Read more »
Although he has never made it commercially, John Prine has been considered one of the premier songwriters in Americana and folk since his first album, John Prine (Atlantic), came out in 1971. "Sam Stone," the story of a Vietnam vet turned junkie, "Hello in There," made a hit by Joan Baez, and the monumental "Angel from Montgomery" were instantly and forever pasted on the American psyche, even if Prine has never reached household-name status.
Prine released records steadily through the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, without a drop-off in quality. Read more »
Made Man
(Aspyr; PlayStation2, Windows)
A couple of weeks ago I was facing a stretch without the possibility of any money besides what I had in my pocket. I have experienced this before, and the way I have learned to deal with it is to stay in my apartment, sleep a lot, and eat very little, counting the days. At my age and with my diet of cigarettes and coffee, Internet porn will only go so far. So I have found that the best way to kill the hours when I am conscious has been to play video games. With my meager budget, I set aside what I needed to buy some games and hit the mall. Read more »

According to the New York Times, Oklahomans have voted to forbid the use of international Shariah law in state courts.
Voters were asked to vote on Question 755:
This measure amends the State Constitution. It changes a section that deals with the courts of this state. It would amend Article 7, Section 1. It makes courts rely on federal and state law when deciding cases. It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts from considering or using Sharia Law.
International law is also known as the law of nations. It deals with the conduct of international organizations and independent nations, such as countries, states and tribes. It deals with their relationship with each other. It also deals with some of their relationships with persons.
The law of nations is formed by the general assent of civilized nations. Sources of international law also include international agreements, as well as treaties.
Sharia Law is Islamic law. It is based on two principal sources, the Koran and the teaching of Mohammed.
Via Fox News:
"Has any judge ever tried to use Shariah in Oklahoma?" a reporter asked [Oklahoma State Representative Rex Duncan] as he walked in front of the County Courthouse in Tulsa this week. "No," said Duncan, "and we want to make sure they never will."
Muslims groups have called foul, claiming voting to ban Shariah law where it doesn't and couldn't exist is Islamaphobia:
"There's no threat of Shariah law coming to Oklahoma and America, period," said Saad Mohammed of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City. "It's just a scare tactic."
With 5% of precints reporting, 69.8% voted in favor of the ban, while 30.2% voted against.

By Peaco Todd
excellent comment , monica, religious laws OF ANY RELIGION have always been used as a tool of persecution...let us learn from the lessons of history...
For added insight into what it's like to live with shari'a, please see the post on care 2 about Sakineh Ashtiani
All I can say is, I agree with Oklahoma. Article VI of the Constitution says it is the supreme law of the land, so no other law, including shari'a, should get so much as a toe in the door of our legal system. Also, I don't think the death penalty is appropriate for ANY crime, but most definitely not for adultery, being gay, changing religions (penalty for leaving Islam is death), drawing anyone (such as Mohammed), or "dishonoring" your family.
Shari'a HAS come into play in American courts, maybe not in Oklahoma, but in places with higher Muslim populations. In many cases, it is used to justify or defend things most of us don't support, such as beatings of wife and kids, honor killing, child marriage, or "cutting vacations" to send girls overseas for FGM.
I support separation of church and state. All religions have laws, but if a Catholic eats meat on Friday during lent, are they tried in any court? If a Lutheran skips church a few Sundays are they jailed? For that matter, I left the RC church, and I got no death threats at all. Using a religious-based law within one branch of our government (judicial) sets a scary precedent. How do we close that door, or keep religion out of other branches of the government, once we have let it into one?
Well said, Walter G.!
Eastern laws no more belong in our justice system than ours do in theirs. What works in one culture, will fail in another, just like trying to fit the wrong part into a machine. If people want to set up permanent residence in an eastern country, or any other country for that matter, they must be prepared to abide by the laws they encounter in that place. I live in an Asian country where the laws many times seem illogical to casual visitors. The laws were evolved by the culture into which you have inserted yourself. If you don't like the laws where you are, leave as soon as possible and go home. That also applies to foreigners living in the US. If you can't abide by our legal process and our laws, remember these laws were evolved for our welfare and yours, so long as you are willing to abide by them. Don't try to get the tail to wag the dog, forget trying to convert our laws to yours, or trying to carve out a privileged legal class in our society. If you can't or are unwilling to learn to adapt to our culture and our laws, return to your own culture and laws, and happy 16th century lifestyle to you, you can't have the milk without the cow.
The Hamas-linked Islamic supremacists of CAIR here implicitly acknowledge that Islam and Sharia are essentially inseparable -- otherwise they wouldn't be able to call Oklahoma's ballot measure an "anti-Islam" amendment. They will mount this challenge on the claim that it outlaws things like halal meat and personal Muslim prayer, but that is unlikely to succeed, since those things don't actually constitute the use of a law other than American law to legislate for Americans.
In any case, the Hamas-linked thugs of CAIR have overreached yet again, because this suit, if it goes ahead, will provide ample opportunity to prove to the general public that stonings, amputations, the oppression of women, the death penalty for apostates, and other oppressive measures are intrinsic to Sharia. But CAIR is in a hard place with this one: if they don't challenge Oklahoma's measure, the whole stealth jihad agenda could be thwarted. If they do, it could be exposed. They must be counting on their stooges and useful idiots in the government and mainstream media to do a lot of heavy lifting for them on this one.
"CAIR to Announce Suit Challenging Oklahoma Anti-Islam Amendment. The measure amends the state constitution to forbid judges from considering Islamic law or international law when making a ruling.
I cannot understand why the courts were forbidden to use international law.
Jeffrey M.,
I do have Muslim friends, two of whom are daughters of someone in one of the Arab embassies. I promised them I would not give any identifying information. They are here temporarily and are very much enjoying their freedom relative to their home country. They love their culture and people, but they recognize that there are many shortcomings, including fundamentalist elements. They would both like to be able to get permanent residence here.
Children and even many adults definitely do not have the sophistication to see the Koran and associated writings as literature. I would posit that the majority of the worlds adult population doesnt see it in that light. You have more of an elitist outlook, whereas the majority of people see it for its messages. There are hundreds of thousands of white Europeans converting to Islam each year. Some percentage of these will go on to become radicalized and become part of the active threat. Even if they are only attracted to moderate Islam, which some plausibly say does not exist, they become part of a growing critical mass that brings with it a synergistic effect.
You know, MAYBE if children are introduced to Christianity, Judaism or atheism, it will be enough to protect them against Islam. But far too many who are not so sophisticated, grounded (not just introduced) in C, J and A and who lack a spiritual direction in their lives will fall prey to Islam. And in some way, dear Jeffrey, so
Court documents filed last week reveal Islamic extremists have obtained personal contact information on members of the defiant Facebook group "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day." Zachary Chesser, who provided the information, pled guilty to "communicating threats" and renounced jihad, but the damage was done. Prosecutors say he "seriously endangered the lives of innocent people who will remain at risk for many years to come."
This lasting effect makes it all the more frustrating that authorities did not charge him sooner. He had made similar threats against the producers of South Park weeks before. The case highlights the urgent need for better legal tools to protect free speech from extremist intimidation.
On April 15, Chesser, acting through the website RevolutionMuslim.com, "warned" the creators of South Park that they would "likely" be executed for producing an episode lampooning Muslim outrage over depictions of Mohammed. Chesser's post provided their photos and work address and included audio of radical cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki calling for the assassination of anyone who has "defamed" Mohammed. As was widely reported, Comedy Central, which carries the show, succumbed to the threat and heavily censored the episode. Nevertheless, Chesser was not charged. NYPD Commissioner Kelly called Chesser's posting a threat but said authorities did not believe it "rises to a crime right now."

To Geynell Eskite....I'm neither a moron, stupid nor a FOX viewer. I AM a person who has traveled widely in Islamic countries and Europe and seen what happens when cultures clash. Europeans have a monumental problem because they foolishly allowed the introduction of religious-based laws (Sharia.) Oklahomans have every right to enact this legislation.
Thanks for your non-judgmental opinion.
Well let's see what Omar Ahmad, co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has to say about all this:
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." -- Omar Ahmad, CAIR
He now denies saying it, but he's not the only one to state such goals. Even in Egypt, some 70% favor strictly enforced shari'a and a global caliphate (the whole world to be Muslim).
Here's another interesting quote, this from CAIR spokesman Hooper, who stands by this statement:
"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future, but I'm not going to do anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through education."
According to DawaNet.com (Muslim website), public schools are "fertile grounds where the seeds of Islam can be sowed inside the hearts of non-Muslim students."
To read more about this, here is a link with strategies for promoting Islam in PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
