Dammit. I stopped here looking for something to take to the hotel for a nightcap. I was not expecting a lot based on reviews, but the store itself is very Whole Foods like, and the beer selection at WF is generally decent. I finally found the tiny little area devoted to beers (almost all in coolers), and wow was I disappointed. Mainly just "shelf craft" six packs and a few ultra common bombers lying around. Weird use of fridge space too with a bunch of dark beers in the fridge and Sculpin sitting out on the one tiny part that was not refrigerated. They also had 5 taps of common local craft in the food service part of the store. Meh and double Meh.

This is a very pricy grocery store with a very decent selection of (mostly) local brews - Dogfish Head, Flying Dog and DC Brau. Of course, this being Montgomery County, the beer price includes plenty o' Martin O'Malley taxes. Still ... nice to know about it and a great place if you seek out fresh bread and cheese to accompany your beers.

As good as it gets in Montgomery County. They don't stock American lagers, or other similar imports. The beer guy Todd is very knowledgeable and is doing a good job with their selection. Prices also can't be beat in Montgomery County.l


text: Skeewiff & Dick Walter - Scarper by Skeewiff published on 2013-04-01T08:18:31Z & we start the ball rolling with a re-wiff of Dick Walter's "Greyhound Runaround" You may remember Dick Walter from such theme tunes as "The Two Ronnies" & "Morecambe & Wise". This is one of his funkier numbers from the "Metropolis" album. Not entirely sure where this track got used.. but we reckon it would have been at home in an imaginary 70s cop show starring dudes with moustaches? Enjoy!

text: Home Gallery Video Ambev - Skol Respect Is On Beer Brand Needs No Words to Deliver a Stirring Pride Message Poetic Music-Video Like Film Supports LGBT Pride Day in Brazil By Ann-Christine Diaz. Published on Jun 29, 2016 Editor's Pick Bud Light isn't the only beer brand to stand up for LGBT rights. Last year in Brazil, Skol stepped up to become the first brand to support the community's largest celebration in the country during its 20th Pride Parade. Today, it's back to celebrate again on LGBT Pride Day with this stirring, poetic film. The visually-driven film opens on a striking, androgynous man, who stands alone in the middle of a dark street as sirens blare. He walks forward, looking around at those he passes with, at first, some trepidation, and then a bit more confidently as others, who appear to come from all walks of life, join him. Together, they lock hands and move forward together in a frontline of strength, hands in the air. "Respect is on," the tag reads, followed simply by the Skol logo. "Although it is not an easy path, every day you have more and more people setting aside their biases and hoping for a more egalitarian world, which respects everyone for their individuality," said Theo Rocha, creative director at F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi, in a statement. "This is the idea we intend to convey." "On this very important day, we at Skol want to show that we can walk together, support choices and promote a life without prejudice," added Fabio Baracho, marketing director at Skol. "Joining in respect can transform humanity, regardless of its truths." Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

Conviction Against Gerry Davis Thrown AwayJan 9, 2006 | www.wdef.com
A judge throws out the attempted rape conviction against former Chattanooga Police officer Gerry Davis.
A Nashville jury convicted Davis of attempted rape in December.
A woman had accused Davis of raping her eight years ago after he drove her home from a bar.
Although the jury did not convict Davis of rape, they did convict him of the lesser charge.
But today Davis's attorney appealed that conviction because attempted rape has just a four year statute of limitations.
The judge says law dictates the jury had to hear all charges against Davis.
>But another law says the conviction must now be thrown out.
Attorneys from both sides say state lawmakers may need to revise the rules.
ADA Neal Pinkston, Hamilton County:
"There's no case, law, no case like this has been appealed before."
Lee Davis, Gerry Davis Defense Attorney:
"You're talking about a case where, the prosecutors waited 7 years to bring the charges, so it's not surprising to me that people didn't think about lesser-included charges and their statute of limitations, given how unusual the circumstances are."
Davis continues serving the remainder of his federal prison term for extortion.
But he no longer faces prison time for the attempted rape charge.
Davis's parents tell News 12 their son has been the victim in this trial.
Lewis Davis, Gerry Davis's Father: "They really don't know our son. We know him, and he was charged a lot of allegations and things from the first trial, on up to now, that he wasn't responsible for!"
The state Attorney General's office may decide to appeal today's ruling.


text: Got my shirts from yoo, thanks mate! I didn't remember the oxfords were this heavy, we're talking a really sturdy fabric like those 1950s grey suited men would have loved. Uniqlo has some pretty impressive fabrics for the price (I also liked the Tasmanian wool). If you're like me and you throw away your white shirts after a year this is a more than decent option Stitching is not incredible but looks solid and the cheap buttons won't fall off on you. I've had bespoke shirts in the $250-350 range (that was a few years ago so I'm assuming they're $350-$500 now) that I didn't really care for more, make no mistake they were obviously better built and the fabric was more elaborate but nothing I really give a fuck about.

See what's next. Watch anywhere. Cancel anytime.
Created by Netflix, Inc.
You can get unlimited streaming for $8.99 a month, and getting traditional DVD deliveries is another $3. So it's not a bad price. You might be able to see some of the shows offered by Netflix on Hulu for free, but Netflix is the only place you can stream so many movies (legally :P).
However, it's also important to note that even though Netflix offers thousands of movies for instant watching, streaming still makes up a VERY SMALL part of their massive movie library. Most movies still need to travel by the mailman. And you need a least a 5 Mbps (megabit per second) internet connection to stream in HD. Test your internet speed at http://speedtest.net

A couple of weeks ago I hopped on a plane to Rwanda. Nairobi and the chaos and the people and the aggressive life in that city, coupled with my intense loneliness was just too much to bear. I needed to go home. When had Rwanda become home? Wasn't I homeless in a sense? I do not own a "house" in Las Vegas anymore since I short sold it almost a year ago, another victim of the Vegas housing collapse. I rent month to month in Kenya. I have stuff scattered across three countries. Home is where you feel loved. I needed to know Rwanda was still home. It had been almost four months since I had seen Zulu, Kongo, the riders, my friends almost two months since I had seen Jock and Max. Was it still home?
I flew in on a Wednesday morning as the wheels touched down I knew this was where I needed to be at this moment. Rwanda, always so beautiful from the plane. It still fills my heart with a sense of hope, a purpose to my life, the reason I live in Africa when I hear the landing gear come down and we approach the tarmac. A long drawn out breath escaped my lungs. I do not have this sense when I land in Kenya or any where else in the world. Only Rwanda. My love/frustration relationship continues.
I walked off the plane, no baggage checked, it's Africa, I travel light, a backpack my only luggage. I jump on the back of Jock's motorcycle and it's as if life never skipped a beat. We run around Kigali on errands and within a couple of hours we are heading up the hill out of Kigali to Musanze. God, I missed this. I missed being on the back of this motorcycle, weaving up the mountain road, dodging people, goats, buses. It is so beautiful.
I was worried Zulu, our puppy wouldn't remember me. It had been since the first week in July. As I got off the bike all 125+ pounds of him tackled me like it was just a couple of hours since we had last seen each other. Mama was home. I missed that little bowling ball noggin head boy. We would be inseparable for the next four days. I had a lot of loving to give and he had a lot of girl coddling to catch up on.
I was so happy to see and hug Max. We had had so much fun riding in California and just hanging out. Rwanda is not an easy place for Max, but I completely admire his commitment to Jock and the Team. Most young men easily would have bailed by now and Max always says to me, I will not leave Jock.
The riders were all out on a training ride. I was glad I came a day early so I could see them at camp. I met Jennifer Nydam, Scott's wife and the replacement "girl" factor in the boy's lives at camp. She is a godsend! Jennifer and her talented husband gave up three months of their lives to live in Rwanda, train the boys and for Jennifer, do stinky laundry every day of camp. She is energetic, dynamic, talented and has a huge heart.
The second I heard the motorcycles beep their horns and Joseph open the gate I went out onto the porch. We hadn't told the boys I was coming just in case something fell through. I just stood on the porch and waited. As each of them came in and we saw each other, bikes were dropped and boys and I were yelling and hugging. I couldn't have imagined a better homecoming. The missing factor was equal on both sides. I just wanted to hug them and never let go, each and every one of them. Their smiles so beautiful. I have never felt to loved.
I spent that first day getting to know Clark, Scott and Jen and loving on Zulu, Kongo and the boys. Clark is another giving human being, also donating his incredible coaching talent to helping the riders prepare for the Continental Championships and the Tour of Rwanda. A former National Cyclocross Champion in the 90's Team Rwanda has the best of the best teaching them how to be the best riders in Africa.
I also just hugged on the riders....a lot. Actually I needed it more than they did on this day.
Thursday morning I made breakfast. That is really all I wanted to do. I wanted to cook for the boys. Of course, I tend to never do anything quietly, it quickly became a full on Moki force of nature as I realized we were not prepared, no eggs, no oatmeal nothing ready for the morning. What? No bananas? I ran to the market, got back, made breakfast for 20 riders and by 9:30am was on my bike training the four girls who were there for training for the Continental Championships. I was teaching them how to pace line. Didn't matter to me, I was on a bike, riding with the Team in Rwanda. All was perfectly right in my world.
So...for the next couple of days, I rode, I loved on my animals, my boys and just breathed....the stress evaporated. I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I was home.
In four days I loved, laughed, spent time with friends, met the dynamic Peb Jackson (formerly of Saddleback Church) and Isaac Slade, lead singer of The Fray, had a close call death defying motorcycle accident and lived....lived the life I love.
I was talking to my ex husband the other night. I was telling him about the documentary movie they are finishing at the Continental Championships this week Rising From the Ashes.
As I was telling him about the movie I became so emotional, talking about Adrien's shot at the Olympics and everything happening in the next month. He simply said, "I know where your heart is."
He is right....Rwanda is not only where my heart is, my very unconventional "family" in Rwanda is my home.

When I was 21 and finally came to grips with the reality I would never be a professional basketball player – nothing drove the harsh truth home more than riding a community-college bench in my last year of eligibility — I took a newswriting class at American River College, a two-year school outside of Sacramento.
That's when I met Bruce Patt — teacher, campus newspaper adviser and, though I've never told him, the reason I became a sports columnist.
Bruce asked hard ethical journalism questions of us in class, such as: Is publishing a photo of a Tibetan monk setting himself on fire to protest his government tasteless, or just showing the unvarnished truth? He made us write obituaries about people who were still alive. (Most non-journalists don't know this, but most of the major news organizations already have obits written for every prominent person over 65 – from Muhammad Ali to Dan Rather. Just in case.)
Bruce even taught me how to compose my stories on the earliest Mac computers. It sounds ridiculous now (and probably an indictment on my early education), but I used to write my stories long-hand and type them into the computer afterward. For some weird reason, I couldn't think when I typed the way I could when I put pen to paper. Bruce fixed that phobia (though my editors might occasionally doubt it).
Bruce invited head of journalism departments from four-year colleges to make their pitch to us – including from Fresno State, where I finished school. It took me six years, three schools and student loans up the wazoo, but I graduated. Without Bruce pushing, it would not have happened.
The best thing Bruce did was introduce me to Jim Murray, the late great Pulitzer prize-winning sports columnist at the Los Angeles Times — well, not personally, but he copied a Writer's Digest article on Jim Murray from 1985, which included some of his best work.
I was instantly hooked.
Murray didn't write about sports. He wrote about the people who played and coached them. He used metaphors. He incorporated humor. Great running backs weren't just strong or hard to tackle. To Jim Murray, they were "as elusive as a collar button, as indestructible as a bride's first set of biscuits."
Of the city of Cincinnati he once wrote, ""They still haven't finished the freeway . . . it's Kentucky's turn to use the cement mixer."
He was incredibly vulnerable, too. He wrote about losing his eye to glaucoma, his wife to cancer. Whether he made you laugh, cry or vent, Jim Murray always made you feel. Still coming to grips with my athletic dreams dying, I decided after reading that article, working at the campus paper and learning about journalism and life from Bruce that I wanted to be a sportswriter.
When I had the privilege to meet Jim Murray at the 1989 World Series in San Francisco, I told him he was one of the main reasons I went into the business. Moving closer, having a look at my lanyard credential around my neck with his one good eye, he replied, "Mike? Mike Wise? Is that your name? Don't ever blame me for that."
I don't even know if I ever told Bruce Patt that Jim Murray used a one-liner on me. But after I saw Jason Reid's moving homage to Isiah Thomas's influence on his decision to go into sportswriting, after Steinberg was smart and thoughtful enough to ask J. Reid to write an item for him, I thought hard about who really inspired me down this path.
Jim Murray was right; it wasn't his fault for getting me into this business. It was Bruce's. It was always Bruce, whom I really need to reconnect with now to let him know.
When Alonzo Mourning began talking about John Thompson's influence on his career and life after his Hall of Fame election last week, it made me think how we all have a person like that in our lives — someone who didn't open up our classroom or our gym (or our campus newspaper) as much as they opened our world.
Bruce opened mine. I'm going to go look for his e-mail and publish it on my Twitter account. It's about time he took some grief for foisting me on Washington and, in general, society.
[Ed. note – So when Jason Reid started explaining on Twitter last how Isiah Thomas's NBA Finals performance led him to get into this sportswriting, I thought it could make for a cool Bog item. Then that post inspired Mike Wise to write this about his early inspriations. So maybe my idea for a series, "How Washington Post sportswriters decided to enter this crazy profession," isn't so crazy. This is the second one. Three makes a series, right?]

A bright ruby red, this wine has charming aromas of ripe red fruit and spices like black pepper with maybe even a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied with elegant tannins, there is no mistaking that this is a juicy red. Chocolate and red berries define the palate with a subtle of coffee in the finish. Brilliant.
Val Di Botte Toscana Rosso I.G.T. (x2)
Up front flavors of raspberry and strawberry with hints of roasted pepper and fresh herbs like thyme. The finish is light to medium with a smooth tannin structure. We recommend you open and let it breathe before consuming. Enjoy with margherita pizza with fennel sausage or a pasta dish like Spaghetti Bolognese.
Vista De Noche Malbec (x2)
Drinks profoundly, with dark fruits such as blackberry with herbaceous notes, and that a nice smoky overlay, destined to be best friends with many grilled meats. It's full bodied, has a personality, and has a finish that can please the wine drinker in all of us.
Carma Carménère (x2)
The wine is a violet red color and the aroma is of fresh red fruit—raspberries and cherries—along with notes of herbs and toasted coffee beans. The aromas follow through on the palate with red fruits, spices and bittersweet chocolate. It is an elegant wine with juicy concentration and persistence.
Radford Dale Shiraz-Merlot (x2)
The 2010 vintage of the highly acclaimed Shiraz-Merlot blend from Radford Dale is better than the last. With a 54% Shiraz 46% Merlot blend from grapes grown sustainability into Stellenbosch, South Africa, this wine shows that good things are still to come from the region. Forward cherries and red fruit come together with spicy aspects from the Shiraz, with ripe but firm tannins. The wine is a grilled meats best friend.
Wood Handled Corkscrew
Wood-handle hinged waiter's corkscrew with foil cutter, an easy-opening curved boot lever and a bottle opener, all in a compact, ergonomic design.

Press Releases
Currently showing only: Republican Outrages
July 17, 2017
For President Trump to declare this to be 'Made in America' week is the epitome of hypocrisy and seeks to distract from his Administration's lack of an agenda.
June 1, 2017
OMB Director Mulvaney's comments challenging the integrity and expertise of analysts at the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are irresponsible and unacceptable.
May 24, 2017
I am very disappointed that Republicans' willful sabotage of our nation's health care system has led Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City to stop offering insurance plans across parts of Kansas and Missouri.
May 17, 2017
House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released a video today pushing back on Republicans' misinformation on TrumpCare.
May 16, 2017
House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released a video today highlighting Americans who are speaking out against TrumpCare in Republican districts across the country.
May 15, 2017
Each time I think the President cannot jeopardize American security any further or take his reckless ineptitude to new heights, I am quickly proven wrong.
May 4, 2017
I've read the bill, but also very importantly, I've read the CBO report -- that is the independent congressional advisor on fiscal matters -- and they say premiums are going up 25 to 29% for the average policyholder.
May 4, 2017
Mr. Speaker, Republicans now control all of our government. Whatever happens to our health care system will be their responsibility.
May 3, 2017
Republicans now control all the levers of our government. They will be held responsible for whatever happens to our health care system, including the actions that have already destabilized our health insurance markets since January.
May 2, 2017
I am appalled that President Trump tweeted this morning that he wants the government to shut down. Funding our government is not a game, where one side wins and the other side loses.
May 1, 2017
I strongly urge President Trump to withdraw Mark Green as his nominee for Army Secretary. The civilian leaders the President selects to oversee our military set the tone for the men and women of our Armed Forces and how they are expected to behave.
April 27, 2017
If Republicans announce their intention to bring their harmful TrumpCare bill to the House Floor tomorrow or Saturday, I will oppose a one-week Continuing Resolution and will advise House Democrats to oppose it as well.
April 26, 2017
Now that their party controls the levers of government, Republicans will be held responsible for any changes to our health care system that take place on their watch.
April 26, 2017
Once again, House Republicans are floating text of a new TrumpCare bill that is no better than any of the previous versions before.
April 13, 2017
President Trump was right when he declared that 'the longer I'm behind this desk and you have Obamacare, the more I would own it.'
April 11, 2017
Sean Spicer's comments today are indicative of the extraordinary lack of knowledge, perspective, and sensitivity that the Trump Administration has brought to Washington.
April 6, 2017
I continue to be deeply disturbed by the baseless and irresponsible accusations leveled against former National Security Advisor Susan Rice by President Trump.
April 6, 2017
It is entirely appropriate that Chairman Nunes should step aside from the House Intelligence Committee's investigation, something he should have done days ago.
Hoyer Statement on Speaker Ryan's Statements that Republicans Should Not Work with Democrats on Health Care
March 30, 2017
Americans are sick and tired of the blatant partisanship that too often puts party ahead of commonsense governing.
March 29, 2017
[President Trump] looked at the American people in the eye, when he talked to the Joint Session of Congress, and said I want to assure you that I'm going to cover everybody with insurance.
March 29, 2017
Today, House Judiciary Committee Republicans blocked resolutions of inquiry from coming to the Floor that would have shed light on connections between President Trump, his advisors, and Russia's efforts to undermine our election.

Hoyer Statement on Chairman Nunes' Decision to Cancel a Public Hearing on Russian Interference in the 2016 Election
March 24, 2017
Clearly, Chairman Nunes and the Trump White House are scared of what the public might learn, and by canceling a public hearing on Russian involvement in the election they are denying the American people the full scope of information that might come forward.
Hoyer Discusses Postponed TrumpCare Vote and House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes' Actions with Wolf Blitzer on CNN
March 23, 2017
Well, the bill keeps getting worse and worse and, of course, the deficit reduction the Republicans were claiming has now been halved by the changes they made.
March 23, 2017
If Republican leaders were hoping that the Congressional Budget Office's cost and impact estimate for their amended health care bill would make any Member more likely to support it, I suspect they are now sorely disappointed.

|How do lucene IDs work with MultiReader and MultiSearcher?
|Tue, 21 Jun 2005 13:19:52 GMT
Hi I've been scanning the JavaDocs, but I can't see anything on this. Let's say I have two indexes. Both have just been optimised, so each have lucene IDs 1-10 in them. Now, I build a MultiSearcher over these two indexes. I search, get back a Hits object, and from that a lucene ID >From my testing, it seems that the MultiSearcher has handily offset all the lucene IDs from the second index, so they don't clash with the first. It also seems that if I pass that ID to a MultiReader built on the same set of indexes, I get the right document back. (i.e. my hits object gives me a lucene ID of 5 for my first hit, and if I ask the multireader for document with lucene ID 5, I get the same document) Is this always going to be the case? Do I simply have to ensure that I open the MultiReader and MultiSearcher with the indexes in the right order to ensure the lucene IDs will be identically munged, or is it trickier than that? Thanks Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

In Search Of Seekers
- Are you seeking happiness?
- Do you feel like there is more in store for you but its just out of your reach?
- Is physical pain or disease keeping you from reaching your full potential, your life's purpose?
If you are a Seeker, then welcome. I, too, am a Seeker. I believe that there is unconditional happiness available for all human beings and have spent decades working toward my own. Through homeopathy and other spiritual work, I have been able to clear my physical body and cleanse my mental and emotional self of negative thought patterns that were limiting my relationships, my potential and my personal growth.
We limit ourselves more than any boss, educational system or financial situation every could. It is our own thinking that creates the reality around us. We draw toward ourselves those things that we focus on. If we constantly worry about money, we will always be in a position of having financial worries. If we are desperate to find love but don't feel lovable, we won't love ourselves and won't let anyone else love us either. If physical pain or disease are at the forefront of your mind, then you can't put your heart and soul into manifesting your desires and your life's purpose.
Homeopathic medicine is the key to unlocking your heart's desire and a light to help you see your way forward - toward unconditional happiness and fulfillment. I welcome you to begin your journey toward physical, mental and emotional health and happiness now. Life is too short and precious to continue your own self-limiting thoughts and your physical suffering.
To all Seekers, welcome.

Endgames is a Scottish Dance-pop band, who had some success in the 1980s with singles such as "First-Last-For Everything", "Waiting For Another Chance", and "Ecstasy". Not being among the power players in their day, they are still a charming reminder of the New Wave heyday.
Origins and early years
Endgames were formed in Glasgow by David Rudden, former bass player in the Scottish "Futurist" band Berlin Blondes. They were signed to EMI Records and moved to London, but Rudden left in Summer 1980 after the recording of their debut album has been completed. He went back to Scotland and formed his own band, becoming its vocalist and bassist. He was joined by his school friends, noted local musicians: Paul Wishart (Saxophone, Flute), who earlier that year, by Rudden's suggestion, accompanied Simple Minds on their "Empires and Dance" tour; and David Murdoch (Keyboards). David Wilde (Drums) completed this line-upЧитать далее в Википедии...

As government hiked petrol prices by Rs7.50 per litre, trading volumes of three oil...
The Prime Minister's Office recently asked the coal ministry to fast-track the process of taking back captive blocks from the companies which have not developed them within the stipulated time, and giving them to Coal India
New Delhi: The coal ministry has given three de-allocated mines, including two of NTPC, to Coal India (CIL) and asked it to appoint mine developers to begin the production from these blocks at the earliest, reports PTI.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) recently asked the coal ministry to fast-track the process of taking back captive blocks from the companies which have not developed them within the stipulated time, and giving them to Coal India (CIL).
Recently, show-cause notices were also issued to 58 allocates, including Reliance Power, Tata Power and JSW for delaying the production from the blocks.
The country is facing acute coal shortage, hitting hard the power sector and moves are afoot to ensure that the production is enhanced.
"The coal ministry has given three deallocated mines a couple of days ago to CIL. It has also asked the PSU to appoint mine developer, operator (MDO) to expedite the development of these blocks," a top official in the ministry told PTI.
The three mines given to CIL are NTPC's Brahmini and Chichro Patsimal coal blocks in Jharkhand and West Bengal Power Development Corporation's (WBPDCL) East of Damagoria (Kalyaneshwari) coal mine, the official said.
In May last year, the coal ministry had deallocated Brahmini and Chichro Patsimal coal blocks. Both the blocks were allocated in January 2006 to be jointly operated through a 50:50 joint venture between NTPC and CIL.
The coal ministry in the letter last year had stated that it is "of the view that the allocatee company (NTPC) is not serious about development of coal blocks and (the government) has therefore, decided to deallocate Brahmini and Chichro Patsimal coal blocks allocated to NTPC."
The Damogoria block was allocated to WBPDCL for its proposed expansion of power plants and setting up of a new 1,000MW thermal power plant in West Bengal.
WBPDCL had surrendered this mine to the coal ministry citing difficulty in developing it.
Coal India's shares were trading at Rs347.70 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange at 3:10pm, while the Sensex was at 17,030.

The Last of Us is coming to a theater near you… eventually! The popular game focuses on a couple of humans, Joel and Ellie, trudging across a wrecked world filled with Clickers, Bloaters, and all manner of nasty creatures. We don't know how it will adapted for the big screen, but the creative director for the game, Neil Druckmann, is penning it. That's promising. Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures is set to produce, and Screen Gems will distribute.
We've seen plenty of post-apocalyptic worlds portrayed in films, but that's also true for video games. It stands to reason that if The Last of Us can make waves in gaming, they can bring a fresh approach to the movies too. Just imagine how awesomely terrifying the Clickers will look! Someone will have to tell me because I'm too much of a wimp to check it out.

Adrian Adams, who spent more than two decades as a law clerk for two Jefferson Parish judges, avoided a runoff Tuesday in the three-way race for the Division G seat on the 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna.
In the race for the Division O seat, Danyelle Taylor and Thomas Anzelmo will meet in a Dec. 6 runoff, while incumbent Division F Judge Michael Mentz handily defeated his challenger, Juan Labadie, 78 percent to 22 percent.
Adams will replace Judge Robert Pitre, while Taylor and Anzelmo will vie to replace Judge Ross LaDart, both of whom have reached the mandatory retirement age.
In Division O, with all 82 precincts reporting, Taylor, a family lawyer, won 32 percent of the vote while Anzelmo, Harahan Magistrate Judge, won 28 percent.
West Bank trial attorney Frank Buck received 22 percent of the vote and former prosecutor and public defender John Sudderth got 17 percent.
In Division G, with all 29 precincts reporting, Adams got 53 percent of the vote, followed by former Jefferson Parish assistant district attorney Angel Varnado with 33 percent and former Ouachita Parish law clerk Theresa Miles with 14 percent.
Adams, 49, spent six years as law clerk for Judge Lee Faulkner and 16 years under former Judge Melvin Zeno.
In Division F, with all 160 precincts have reporting, Mentz held onto his seat after drawing an unlikely challenge from Labadie, a Gretna lawyer who qualified to run after Mentz found him in contempt in a child-custody case.
Labadie accuses Mentz being unfair toward him during his case and altering a transcript, an accusation Mentz denies.

Sustainability: On-Campus Housing
With over 20 different buildings dedicated to residential living, Housing operations that reduce energy and water consumption, and reduce waste, are essential to minimize the impacts of nearly 11,000 students living on the residential Hill.
Click here for tips on living green!
Highlight: UCLA's Sustainable Living Community
UCLA's Sustainable Living Community is one of 13 UC winners of the 2015 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Best Practice Awards. Up to 85 students live in this community and have been awarded for multiple actions including:
– Piloting the use of low-flow showerheads, which are now being installed in all of UCLA's residence halls;
– Joining forces with the student environmental group E3: Ecology, Economy, Equity to work together on projects such as the DigUCLA community garden;
– Helping to create a reusable dishware program that eliminated the use of disposable utensils at events involving food at residence halls.
Did you know?
The residential Hill boasts five LEED Gold building complexes (including a LEED Gold-equivalent) and one LEED Platinum-equivalent building. Off-campus H&HS has one LEED Gold complex two LEED Silver buildings.
In February 2016, more than 119,011 kilowatt-hours of electricity were saved and over 2,500 residents pledged to reduce their buildings' electricity use in the annual Do It in the Dark energy conservation competition within the residence halls.
Dykstra, Rieber, Sproul, Hedrick, Cove, Landing, Holly, and Gardenia all have solar water heating systems on their roof tops to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat water.
LEED Buildings and Building Density
Increasing building density and the number of LEED certified buildings helps reduce our environmental impacts. Learn more.
Annual Energy Conservation Competitions:
Each year, residents participate in a building-on-building energy competition and pledge to reduce their energy use. In 2014, over 2,500 residents pledged to reduce 119,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Find out how you can participate in the coming year!
Solar Water Heating
Nearly all residential high-rise buildings have solar-assisted domestic hot water heating panels to reduce the amount of natural gas needed to heat hot water. Combined, the high-rise systems are able to heat and store more than 15,000 gallons of solar-heated water.
Lighting and HVAC Retrofits
Lighting throughout the Hill and Guest House is undergoing a retrofit to LED bulbs. Based on current installations, more than 6,000 light bulbs have been replaced, saving an estimated 1.4 million kWh of electricity annually—enough to power nearly 150 homes for a year (EPA Equivalencies Calculator). In addition old heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units are being replaced by more efficient, new units.
H2O-to-Go Filling Stations:
Drinking fountains are being retrofitted with water bottle filling stations to promote the use of reusable water bottles and reduce plastic water bottle waste.
Low Flow Fixtures:
Showers and faucets continue to be retrofitted with low flow shower heads and aerators. Ultra-low flow fixtures continue to be piloted across the Hill.
Weather Controlled Irrigation and Drip Irrigation Systems:
On-Campus Housing Maintannce has installed a centralized irrigation control system that adjusted watering schedules based on weather data and landscape type to prevent overwatering. Currently 24 smart controllers are installed with the ability to add more.
More than 30% of the irrigation system on the Hill has been replaced with high-efficiency drip irrigation systems. Drip irrigation works by emitting water to a targeted area, allowing water to sink below the surface to plant root systems. This is in contract to typical sprinklers, which result in water loss through evaporation. The drip systems are complemented by a 4–6″ layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and prevent seedlings from sprouting.
Clothes Out End-of-Year Donation Program:
Each year, the Office of Residential Life sponsors a clothing and goods drive during finals week in June to help students lighten their loads when moving out. Southern California-based charities benefit from the donations while Housing & Hospitality Services diverts waste from the landfill.

I do however, want to also say thanks to ALL the staff who were lovely and helpful at all times.
So, so clean and comfortable. My niece and I were just happy to be there relaxing. We didn't even use the pool or amenities too much, but it was such a positive energy in the place that we were just happy and peaceful. We felt so at home and safe. Will definitely return.

Jonny Wilkinson kicked England into their second successive World Cup final as they stunned host nation France in an intense contest tonight. Wilkinson, whose drop goal won the 2003 final against Australia in Sydney, struck five minutes from time after France's replacement hooker Dimitri Szarzewski high-tackled Jason Robinson. He then followed his penalty with a trademark nerveless drop goal - and France were sunk.
Full-back Jason Robinson, earning his 50th cap, was thrilled with the result. "Everybody thought today we wouldn't have enough but we pulled together and we are in the final," he said. "It was another massive game; it was not a pretty game but we dug in deep right until the last second and we came up with a great win."
The victory continues England's remarkable transformation from a team that looked down and out only four weeks ago. The mental strength that underpinned victories over Samoa, Tonga and Australia once again surfaced. Wing Josh Lewsey scored an early try, and Wilkinson kicked a penalty; yet England trailed for much of the game through three penalties from France fly-half Lionel Beauxis.
England nonetheless prevailed and march on to the final in which they will face South Africa or Argentina at Stade de France next Saturday. Pre-match statistics were stacked against England, given Les Bleus won five of the last six Tests against them, and they had recorded just a solitary victory on seven previous visits to Stade de France. Quarter-final results last weekend, though - notably England's win over Australia and France defeating pre-tournament favourites New Zealand - meant the World Cup form book had been turned upside down.
England, smashed 36-0 by South Africa at the same ground a month ago, returned to French rugby's 80,000-capacity home quietly confident they could send the host nation packing. But France also had huge incentive, not least proving they could avoid a repeat of chronic opening-night nerves when World Cup surprise package Argentina toppled them in this tournament's first game.
England made a spectacular start, taking the lead after just 80 seconds - courtesy of glaring complacency in defence. Scrum-half Andy Gomarsall launched a speculative kick into the French 22, but full-back Damien Traille chose to invite a chasing Lewsey instead of clearing possession - and the result was costly. Lewsey pounced on Traille's indecision, touching down wide out - but Wilkinson missed the touchline conversion, before Beauxis kicked an eighth-minute penalty.
France soon established themselves in the game, monopolising possession as they edged ahead when Beauxis landed a 48-metre penalty - after powerhouse England scrummager Andrew Sheridan was punished for incorrect binding. England kept themselves in contention despite the French onslaught, and France suffered a 25th-minute injury blow when lock Fabien Pelous hobbled off.
Pelous, who came off second-best in a collision with Wilkinson, was replaced by France's consistently damaging impact substitute Sebastien Chabal. He was immediately in the wars, taking a heavy blow in a tackle - which illustrated England had no intention of playing second fiddle. But England suffered an injury blow on the stroke of half-time, losing Lewsey with what appeared to be a hamstring problem.
Leicester centre Dan Hipkiss replaced him, meaning a switch to the wing for outside centre Mathew Tait; yet England remained firmly in contention at 6-5 adrift. The second quarter proved a hugely disappointing affair, after such an intense opening - and with neither side's kicking game operating at maximum efficiency, errors abounded.
France coach Bernard Laporte could have been excused replacing Beauxis at the break - but he decided against it, holding back the irrepressible Frederic Michalak. Beauxis duly completed his penalty hat-trick on 44 minutes, but it was a harsh decision awarded against England by South African referee Jonathan Kaplan for an illegal ruck entry.
England stormed back up field, and Wilkinson rifled over an angled penalty - narrowing the gap to 9-8 when France failed to clear following a bungled Yannick Jauzion kick. Laporte could wait no longer, sending Michalak on after 51 minutes - but he also sprung a surprise, replacing captain Raphael Ibanez with Szarzewski.
England almost regained the lead after 59 minutes. But Wilkinson's drop-goal attempt hit the post, before full-back Robinson produced a dazzling run which highlighted an encouraging Red Rose spell of pressure. France, despite enjoying the lion's share of possession and territory, could not break clear on the scoreboard - which meant England were still in contention. When substitute flanker Joe Worsley produced a stunning try-saving tackle on Les Bleus wing Vincent Clerc, it underlined England's never-say-die spirit.
Wilkinson then administered the killer blows, destroying France's World Cup dream.

Plug Earnings Q3 2015 Miss: Why You Should Still Keep It On Your Radar
- Plug Power shares have been badly hammered after the company posted mixed Q3 2015 results.
- Plug Power reported healthy revenue growth but a worse-than-expected loss.
- The cost of replacing older unreliable GenDrive units is responsible for the loss.
- Plug Power, however, is likely to finally become profitable as its newer more reliable GenDrive units become mainstream. This makes the company's shares a good long-term bet for bold contrarian investors.
Plug Earnings Disappoint
Hydrogen fuel cell manufacturer Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) has posted mixed Q3 2015 results that easily topped revenue expectations but missed on the bottom line, sending the shares diving 19.45%. Plug Power reported revenue of $31.43 million, up a healthy 58.1% Y/Y and handily beating its own guidance of $30 million and topping consensus analysts' estimates of $30.7 million. This marked the first time Plug Power topped revenue estimates. The healthy revenue growth was facilitated by a huge rise in service revenue which nearly doubled to $13.4 million compared to the prior year period.
The company's bottom line, however, was a different story altogether. Plug Power reported net loss of $10.2 million, or GAAP EPS of -$0.06, which was $0.01 worse than estimates. Ironically enough, cost of service revenue of $16.2 million was primarily to blame for the worse-than-expected loss.
Plug Power reported that it realized revenue from 1,200 GenDrive units during the quarter, and finished the quarter with a total installed base of 9,000 units.
Under different circumstances, the investing world would have been cheering Plug Power's latest results due to its healthy revenue beat. The company's chief executive Marsh has in the past been accused of over-promising and under-delivering after the company posted a series of revenue misses. But expectations had been raised to fever pitch after Wall Street Forensics analyst Matt Maragolis pumped up the company's recovery in this Seeking Alpha article. Plug Power shares had at one point rallied as much as 20% after Matt's report, and it was only natural that investors felt disappointed that the company was still unable to turn a profit.
Service Gross Margins in Focus
Negative service gross margins is what is really eating up Plug Power's bottom line. The company posted $18 million in product revenue, and $15.1 million in cost of product revenue, implying that the product segment is solidly profitable. The service revenue segment, however, continues to be impacted by replacement costs of sub-standard fuel stacks for the company's older GenDrive products.
Plug Power decided to bring fuel-stack production in-house after Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ:BLDP), the company it used to outsource fuel-stack production to, persistent stack failures. Plug Power now focuses on building GenDrive products with low power stacks and longer product cycles. New units feature diagnostic kits that gather information from the fuel stacks and relays it to the command center thus allowing potential failure points to be fixed. The improvement in service gross margins, therefore, is likely to become a gradual process as Plug Power phases out older unreliable units.
Why You Shouldn't Write Off Plug
All of that said, the fact that Plug Power reported healthy revenue growth is reason enough to become optimistic about the company. The product revenue segment is solidly profitable, and with the company's newer products gaining more acceptance due to better reliability, this could accelerate growth even further. Investors should therefore keep an eye on the service revenue segment for signs of contracting losses. If Plug Power is able to progressively lower its service revenue losses over the next 2-3 quarters while revenue keeps growing at a healthy clip, then consider it for your portfolio.
But as things stand right now, there is just too much pessimism hanging around the company and its ability to move from the red to the black. Short interest in the company's shares remains high and is unlikely to change significantly until the company can demonstrate a clear path towards profitability. For bold, contrarian long-term investors looking to hold the shares for at least 2-3 years and who can overlook their volatility, consider buying the battered shares.

We complain, every so often, about our parish. The architecture is nothing to write home about (unless you wrote: "What is this?") and the music of the ordinary just got switched out to some rather rambling and uninspiring modern, OCP-ish stuff.
But stuff also happens that makes us remember why we like it. For instance, this is the third year running that the Corpus Christi homily has actually been about the real presence. Which never happened to us at any of our other parishes. (On the down side, it turned into one of those rambling three-for-the-price-of-one sermons that went on for nearly 30 minutes and inspired a gread deal of comment in the baby -- who had to be taken out to finish her oration in the vestibule.)

Finance theory does not provide a comprehensive framework for explaining risk management within the imperfect financial environment in which firms operate. Corporate managers, however, rank risk management as one of their most important objectives. Therefore, it is not surprising that papers on the question why firms hedge are mushrooming. This paper critically reviews this literature and analyses the implications for risk management practice. It is distinguished between two competing approaches to corporate hedging: equity value maximising strategies and strategies determined by managerial risk aversion. The first category suggests that managers act in the best interest of shareholders. They hedge to reduce real costs like taxes, costs of financial distress and costs of external finance or to replace home-made hedging by shareholders. The second category considers that managers maximise their personal utility rather than the market value of equity. Their hedging strategy, therefore, is determined by their compensation plan and reputational concerns. There is ambiguous empirical evidence on the dominant hedging motive. It depends on the environment in which firms operate (e.g. tax schedule) and on firm characteristics (e.g. capital intensity). In general, one can observe that (i) hedging taxable income is of minor importance, (ii) firms with a high probability of financial distress hedge more, (iii) companies with greater growth opportunities hedge more, (iv) managers with common stockholdings hedge more than managers with option holdings and (v) high ability managers hedge more than low ability managers. The total benefits of hedging are not the sum across the various motives. Therefore, a manager has to concentrate on a primary motive to implement an effective risk management programme: If his primary motive is to minimise corporate taxes, he will hedge taxable income. If his primary concern is to reduce the costs of financial distress and if he can faithfully communicate the firm?s true probability of default, his hedging strategy will focus on the market value of debt and equity. If hedging is prompted to reduce the demand for costly external finance, he will hedge cash flows. If the manager is concerned with his reputation, he will focus on accounting earnings. Once he has focused on a certain exposure, the manager has to decide whether he wants to minimise the volatility of this exposure or simply avoid large losses.
Abstract (Translated):
Der Artikel gibt einen Literaturüberblick zur Fragestellung, warum Unternehmen Risikomanagement betreiben und analysiert die Umsetzung in der Unternehmenspraxis. Ausgehend von den Irrelevanzthesen von Modigliani/Miller wird gezeigt, daß die starke Betonung des Risikomanagements in Unternehmen auf zweierlei Arten erklärbar ist: Zum einen erhöht Hedging den Shareholder Value, da es Steuern, Bankrottkosten, die Kosten von externem Kapital und den Absicherungsbedarf von schlecht diversifizierten Aktionären verringern kann. Zum anderen kann Hedging den Nutzen von Managern erhöhen, soweit es einen Einfluß auf deren Vermögen oder Ruf hat. Was die Umsetzung der Hedging-Ziele in die Unternehmenspraxis anbetrifft, haben die Modelle unterschiedliche Konsequenzen bezüglich der Art und des Ausmaßes des abzusichernden Risikos.

For over 30 years, this popular wide sealed pathway has been a favourite for Whitby residents. The walkway travels through parkland settings, areas of native bush and exotic deciduous trees, alongside a stream, past a playground, and around the rear of properties and Discovery School.
Stretching from Postgate Park to Samuel Marsden Collegiate School near the former Duck Creek Golf Course, it's an easy walk with underpasses for crossing all major roads, making it safe for all users. This is a great one for wheelchairs/mobility scooters, prams, bikes and buggies and children on trikes, as well as for walkers and joggers. Take a picnic and enjoy the children's playground at the Discovery Drive end, or head up to the Whitby Lake and Shopping Centre and feed the ducks. There are many alternative paths leading onto or off the walkway, so you can vary your route as you wish.
The 1.6 kilometre walk should take about half an hour, one way. There are no public toilets along the pathway but toilets are available during opening hours at the Public Library, near the Whitby shops or at the shops.

I found the P1 traverse to be quite fun yet engaging despite the 7 or so bolts; the only gear I placed was a small purple BD nut roughly in the middle of the pitch. Keep a tight belay at the middle because there is a ledge about 12 feet down you could potentially hit if you peel off in the wrong spot.
P3 was quite hard and the rock is very friable. I broke a few footholds off and there are 2 or 3 crucial patina faceholds that seemed quite solid but if they break this will become much harder. The placements for the crux are generally small, shallow, and flared. Small nuts, offset nuts, TCUS, C3s, and even offset cams could be useful. I was able to get the lower boulder problem after a few tries and it's probably 12b/c. There is a sidepull jug rest after the boulder problem but the pitch is definitely not over yet. I'd bring whatever small stuff you have and then singles of .5-1. A nut tool is also very helpful for scraping out the sand for gear placements.
The route is more North/Northeast facing than East facing. The upper part of P2 was a little damp and mossy when we did it.

Young should have been elevated to the ranks of great actors like William Holden and Marlon Brando. He even won an Oscar in 1969, but it did not seem to be enough. Young's lifelong demons got the best of him, and the alcohol and depression he suffered contributed to his sad and shocking death.
Born Byron Elsworth Barr in St. Cloud, Minnesota in 1913, his parents John and Emma Barr raised him and his older siblings in Washington D.C. He developed a passion for the theatre while appearing in high school plays, and after some amateur experience he applied for and received a scholarship to the acclaimed Pasadena Community Playhouse. While acting in Pancho, a south-of-the-border play by Lowell Barrington, he and the leading actor in the play, George Reeves, were spotted by a Warner Brothers talent scout. Both actors were signed to supporting player contracts with the studio. His early work was uncredited or as Byron Barr (not to be confused with another actor with the same name, Byron Barr), but after appearing in the 1942 film The Gay Sisters as a character named "Gig Young", the studio decided he should adopt this name professionally.
Young appeared in supporting roles in numerous films during the 1940s, and came to be regarded as a popular and likable second lead, playing the brothers or friends of the principal characters. Young took a hiatus from his movie career and enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in 1941 where he served as a pharmacist's mate in the US Coast Guard until the end of World War II. After Young's return from the war, Warner Bros. dropped his option. He then began freelancing at various studios, eventually obtaining a contract with Columbia Pictures before returning to freelancing. During those years, Young began to play the type of role that he would become best known for, a sardonic but engaging and affable drunk. His dramatic work as an alcoholic in the 1951 film Come Fill the Cup and his comedic role as a tipsy but ultimately charming intellectual in Teacher's Pet earned him nominations for Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Gig Young won the Academy Award for his role as Rocky, the dance marathon emcee and promoter in the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don't They? According to his fourth wife, Elaine Williams, "What he was aching for, as he walked up to collect his Oscar, was a role in his own movie—one that they could finally call 'a Gig Young movie.' For Young, the Oscar was literally the kiss of death, the end of the line". Young himself had said to Louella Parsons, after failing to win in 1951, "so many people who have been nominated for an Oscar have had bad luck afterwards."
Young was married to actress Elizabeth Montgomery from 1956-63, a marriage that strained Elizabeth's relationship with her father, Robert Montgomery, who opposed the union. Young's alcoholism continued to spiral out of control, and hastened the end of this already-abusive marriage. Young married five times and fathered a daughter in 1964, though he denied paternity until a five-year court case proved otherwise. Remember, no DNA testing then.
Alcoholism plagued his later years, causing him to lose acting roles. He was fired on the first day of shooting the comedy film Blazing Saddles after collapsing on the set due to withdrawals from alcohol.Young was an invisible presence in a terrible movie, The Hindenburg, also released in 1975, and then he hit rock bottom in 1978 when he was cast in a patchwork reworking of an unreleased kung-fu movie called Game of Death — incomplete footage of which was shot prior to star Bruce Lee's death in 1973.
On October 19, 1978, three weeks after his marriage to Schmidt, the couple was found dead at home in their Manhattan apartment. Police theorized that Young first shot his wife and then turned the gun on himself in a murder-suicide. After an investigation, police stated Young had acted on the spur of the moment and his actions were not planned. His motive remains unclear. It was later revealed that Young had been receiving psychiatric treatment from the controversial psychologist Dr. Eugene Landy, who was later professionally decertified for his treatment of Beach Boy Brian Wilson.
Young's will, which covered a $200,000 estate, left his Academy Award to his agent, Martin Baum and Baum's wife. Young left his daughter, Jennifer, $10. Gig Young never did get his "own movie", but unfortunately he did get his "own headlines". Now instead of being known as a great actor, he is known as a sad, troubled, and confused murderer. Another sad story in Hollywood, that should have ended much differently...

Such a sad story about a talented actor. You've written a thoughtful post and, honestly, it's made me a little "verklempt"!ReplyDeleteReplies
Mr young is still a big movie legend,no matter what his personal life actions.He is still a movie star what are we....Delete
Umm...we are people who don't kill someone else, hopefully? If he had molested a child or killed someone while driving drunk, would you still defend him and lecture us as to how he was a "legend?" Quit the celebrity bootlicking. It's not appealing.Delete
The leaving the daughter $10 really sticks in my craw. That's just not a sign of a good guy, troubled by alcoholism or not.ReplyDeleteReplies
There could well be more to the story that could alter your opinion. Without DNA technology it's very possible Young may have never acknowledged the girl's paternity despite the ruling of the court. It's also possible that like many divorced women the child was used as a weapon against the man. He had his troubles but no one I know is completely bad or good. I don't doubt that he behaved like a beast to one or all his wives, yet we have no idea what his underlying issues may have been. If he hadn't recognized his legal daughter in the will she may have fought the will in probate. It's not all that odd for a will to leave a $1 to family members while the assets go to a university or cause like the Heart Association. My wife's grandfather did this while donating millions to build a building named for him at a university. She got a $1 as did her mother, it wasn't taken as a slap in the face, the entire family backed the project.Delete
Gig Young was trying to put this nicely a bozo, when he was married to Elizabeth Montgomery he was very abusive to her. Liz's father actor Robert Montgomery at one time got fed up and threatened him. He was an abusive psycho alcoholic.ReplyDelete

You might ask the same question of smoking. Why are such a high percentage of actors in recent films smoking as part of their roles? The sheer numbers of dead, before their time, stars who died of smoking related causes is sobering. The studios in the not too distant past agreed with groups lobbying to stop the romanticizing of drug and tobacco use in movies, to clean up their act. That apparently is no longer in effect, the "beautiful people" starring in recent films are smoking at a rate many times greater than the population at large. The numbers of young people who are starting to smoke is rising again, I point to celebrities who smoke as being a major reason why.Delete
He deserved the Oscar for Rocky from "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" But it's hard to find compassion for an alcoholic that was abusive to his wives, denied paternity of his only child, then leave her $10 when he kills himself (great dad!), shows up to acting jobs having seizures from alcohol withdrawal, and the ultimate asshole act, putting a bullet in the head of his young bride of 3 weeks who had no business in the first place marrying him. If he would have put down the bottle instead of feeling sorry for himself, perhaps he would have earned the respect of movie makers and they would have cast him in the leading roles he so desired.ReplyDeleteReplies
You need to re-read your writing because you go full circle trashing the guy for having withdrawal seizures then a few words later you trash him for being unable to put down the bottle. You do understand that putting down the bottle so he could be sober while acting in the film was the reason he was having the seizures don't you? He had a disease that was bigger than he was,mthats all we know, I can't judge him on the very sketchy information provided.Delete

Gig had three failures near the end of his life: a failed play, a failed marriage and a failed night as a volunteer emcee, in which he spoke to long introducing a singer and was heckled and booed. The police also said they had never seen so many prescription pill bottles in one bathroom. He was a lonely, addicted man who was addicted to marriage also, for in those days, so was everyone else - constantly getting married, when it's yourself you should try to make happy first. For some though, that only comes with having someone else in your life.ReplyDelete
He looked pretty good in the Twilight Zone episode. Usually hard drinkers show it after a few years. Too bad. He played many suave, light hearted male roles -- too bad he died in such tawdry circumstances. RIP.ReplyDelete
