Small Philothea church blessed with big changes
PHILOTHEA - The glass eyes embedded in the life-size St. Therese statue reflected the images of busy workers inside the small, country church.
On Monday night a half dozen male parishioners hoisted the reconditioned 68-year-old figure back onto a side altar where it's been displayed for decades next to Sts. Joseph and Gasper de Buffalo.
"Awesome" and "breathtaking" were the words Linda Brackman used to describe the many recent upgrades to St. Mary Catholic Church in Philothea. She and fellow parishioner Angie Kaiser spent countless hours the last three months painting and repairing cracks and other signs of deterioration on nearly a dozen church statues.
"It was a labor of love," she explained.
The church, closed since the day after Christmas, will reopen for Palm Sunday Mass this weekend.
The makeover began Dec. 26 - the day a severe snowstorm struck the area. But Mother Nature couldn't stop the determined crew.
"The guys showed up anyway and took the pews out," committee member Donna Hemmelgarn said.
No one knows for sure how much time parishioners and others put into the project. Finding help was never a problem, committee member Susie Sanning said.
"You'd ask for volunteers, and they just came," she said.
Members of the parish's 120 families offered their personal skills such as electrical and woodworking.
"There's a lot of talent in this area," committee member Viki Dues said.
The committee - which includes Rick Uhlenhake - spent much of the past week putting finishing touches on the project.
The work was extensive. New carpet was laid, wooden pews were sanded and re-varnished, old lighting was restored and the entire interior was painted. A previous shade of dull pink trim was replaced with a rich-looking maroon hue.
Denny Rubles of Rubles Painting Service in Greenville quickly became a fixture in the church. His long hours on the job brought him face to face with the congregation's top-notch work ethic, he said.
"We've painted a lot of churches, but these people were the best we've ever worked with," he said.
Hemmelgarn said much of the manpower and supplies were donated for the project. The Rev. Rick Walling did not reveal the overall cost of the project but said expenses are being paid through a capital fund drive and generous donations.
The last extensive renovation at the church was in 1980.
Walling recently walked through the nearly finished building and was amazed at the transition.
"I'm going to steal a comment from another parishioner ... I got goosebumps looking at it," he said.
He spoke about the church's history, including the day in 1851 when Archbishop John Baptist Purcell gave permission to establish the parish. It was Purcell who reportedly dubbed the local settlement "Philothea," which means "God-loving." The translation is noted on a new banner near the ceiling in front of the altar.
Walling believes the name remains as fitting now as it was 162 years ago.
"The parish is still that way today," he said.

Disney's "Lilo & Stitch 2" is an unremarkable but inoffensive trifle that likely will play best with undemanding tykes who want to spend more time with engaging animated characters. Conspicuously tamer and schmaltzier than more rambunctious 2002 predecessor, vidpic should nonetheless post brisk sales and rental numbers.
Typical of routine made-for-vid sequels to hit Mouse Factory toons, Disney's "Lilo & Stitch 2" is an unremarkable but inoffensive trifle that likely will play best with undemanding tykes who want to spend more time with engaging animated characters. Conspicuously tamer and schmaltzier than more rambunctious (and, occasionally, more anarchic) 2002 predecessor, vidpic should nonetheless post brisk sales and rental numbers. Prospects for ongoing franchise appear rosy.
Working from lightweight scenario they co-wrote with Alexa Junge and Eddie Guzelian, co-helmers Tony Leondis and Michael LaBash dutifully continue the saga of Stitch — aka Experiment 626 — a diminutive bright-blue extraterrestrial who appears to be the love child of a koala bear and a hyperactive Smurf. Having settled into semi-domestication on the Garden Isle of Kauai, Stitch (voiced by Chris Sander, repeating from original pic) is equal parts pet and playmate for Lilo (Dakota Fanning), a spunky Hawaiian girl who has resided with her older sister Nani (Tia Carrere) since the death of their parents. Newly expanded household also includes two other transplanted aliens intro'd in the previous pic: Jumba (David Ogden Stiers), a rotund, Russian-accented scientist who invented Stitch back on their home planet, and Pleakley (Kevin McDonald), a one-eyed, three-footed associate who's rather too fond of donning female attire every chance he gets. Wispy plot finds Lilo hoping to enter a hula competition that, years earlier, bestowed first-place honors on her late, lovely mother. Unfortunately, she's so wrapped up in rehearsals that she fails to fully recognize the tell-tale signs that the ever-frenetic Stitch is even more manic than usual. Poor little critter is afflicted with a "glitch" that brings out his dark side. Jumba struggles to find a cure, but he's hampered by limitations of Earthly technology. Ultimately, it's human love, not alien science, that saves the day. Shamelessly sentimental climax doubtless will remind grownup viewers of a similar twist in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." But never mind: "Lilo & Stitch 2" is aimed at small children, not their more sophisticated parents. And chances are good that tykes who view (and repeatedly re-view) this vidpic won't know or care how derivative it really is. Relatively slack pacing will be problematical only with the most attention-deficient small fry. Sequel faithfully replicates original's visual scheme — there's a lovely watercolor look to the backgrounds — and reprises the gimmick of using amusingly appropriate Elvis Presley standards on the soundtrack. (JXL remix of "A Little Less Conversation" is especially effective in this context.) Except for Fanning, who replaces Daveigh Chase as the voice of Lilo, major vocal talents are welcome returnees from 2002 pic. For the record: "Lilo & Stitch 2" actually is second made-for-vid sequel to "Lilo & Stitch," following 2003's "Stitch! The Movie." And even though new opus is being promoted in ads and vid packaging as "Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch," the shorter title is what actually appears onscreen at start of vidpic.Lilo & Stitch 2

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Constructed from the parts of dead bodies by Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the Monster was an eight-foot human with a hideous face, that was given life via chemical injections and electrical energy. The tale of the monster was so fascinating that popular culture has turned it into a cliché, appearing in all forms of media from radio, recordings, films, and television.
Perhaps the most remembered depiction of the Frankenstein monster appeared in the Universal motion pictures Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) starring Boris Karloff as the Monster.
In the following years, Frankenstein's monster appeared in:
Over the years, television has created a few monsters of their own. The most popular TV Frankenstein monster appeared on THE MUNSTERS/CBS/1964-66 and its sequel THE MUNSTERS TODAY/SYN/1988-91. In both, the star was Herman Munster who lived with his ghoulish relatives at 1313 Mockingbird Lane in the town of Mockingbird Heights. His family included Lili (Yvonne DeCarlo), his vampire wife, her Grandpa, Vladimir Dracula (Al Lewis), their "wolfboy," Eddie (Butch Patrick), and Marilyn (Beverly Owen/Pat Priest), the "black sheep of the family" because she was blonde, beautiful and completely normal. Herman (played by Fred Gwynne) was seven-feet, three-inches tall; had a body temperature of 62.8 degrees; a pulse of 15; blood pressure of minus three; no heartbeat; size 26C shoes; and was a total of 150 years old.
In the sequel THE MUNSTERS TODAY/SYN/1988-91, Herman Munster (played by John Shuck), now supposedly over 300-years-old, was made of many parts including the nose of Gregory Fabrock, the town idiot, and the right arm of pickpocket, Igor Johnson. Herman in both series worked as a gravedigger at the funeral parlor of Gateman, Goodbury and Graves.
The Munsters also starred in the motion picture Munster, Go Home (1966) where the family traveled to Munster Hall in England to claim an inheritance; and the made-for-TV Movie The Munster's Revenge (1981) that featured the evil Dr. Diablo (Sid Caesar) who created a robot army to commit crimes...crimes for which Herman and Grandpa were arrested because they looked like the criminal robots.
Both Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis were so popular that they recreated their MUNSTERS roles in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in 1964 where they rode atop a coffin in a hearse. A similarly bizarre family on the sitcom THE ADDAMS FAMILY/ABC/1964-66 featured a towering, Frankenstein-like servant/butler named Lurch (Ted Cassidy) whose catchphrase when summoned by a large gong was "You Rang?"
The puppet series SHRIMPENSTEIN produced in Los Angeles at KHJ-TV in 1966, starred Gene Moss as Dr. Rudolph von Shtick whose experiment to create a Frankenstein monster was ruined when jelly beans fell into the electrical machinery and resulted in a shrimpy but friendly little monster called Shrimpenstein.
The horror comedy THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN/SYN/1974 starred a vampire named Count Frightenstein (Billy Van) who was exiled from Transylvania because he could not bring the Frankenstein Monster to life. With the assistance of Igor he kept trying to accomplish the deed that lead to his disgrace. The show was hosted by Vincent Price.
The live-action Saturday morning kids' show THE MONSTER SQUAD/NBC/1976-77, told the tale of wax museum models of the Frankenstein Monster (Mike Lane), the Wolf Man (Nick Kartalion) and Dracula (Henry Polic II) that came to life at night to combat crime.
The short-lived half-hour situation comedy STRUCK BY LIGHTNING/CBS/1979 starred Jack Elam as Frank, a 229-year-old "original" Frankenstein monster who was the caretaker for a creaky old Victorian mansion (The Brightwater Inn) on Old Boston Post Road in Maine that was newly inherited by Ted Stein (Jeffrey Kramer), a young science teacher who discovered he was the great, great grandson of Dr. Gustav Frankenstein, the monster's creator. Together, Frank and Ted experimented on immortality and attempted to build a female for Frank.
The serial HIGHCLIFF MANOR/NBC/1979 featured a scientist named Frances (Eugenie Ross-Fleming) who created Bram (Christian Marlowe), her own Frankenstein-like lover who wanted to visit the world instead of being isolated at Highcliff Manor.
Animated cartoon series to feature Frankenstein's Monster included:
The General Mills Company resurrected the frightful classics movie characters of Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man for a series of TV commercials (created by Dancer, Fitzgerald and Sample Ad agency) that advertised its new line of children's cereal. Their mascots included Franken Berry, a pink monster, and Chocula, a Bela Lugosi sound-a-like who always argued over who had the tastiest cereals.

Franchitti was well liked by his competitors and was a natural for his sponsors.
"We have been proud to watch Dario emerge as one of the most exciting drivers in IndyCar, winning three series championships and becoming a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner during his time with Target Chip Ganassi Racing," said Target CEO Greg Steinhafel. "Not only has he had a storied career, but his popularity with Target's guests, his tremendous contributions to racing and his engagement in our community giving efforts have made him an integral part of Team Target. While we'll miss seeing him drive behind the Bullseye, Dario will always be a member of the Target racing family, and we look forward to seeing him excel in the next phase of his career."
Dixon considered him much more than just a teammate.
"Dario is a true legend in the sport. More importantly, I can call him a best friend," Dixon said. "There are very few people that have achieved as much in auto racing and knowing Dario, he won't go far as IndyCar racing is in his blood and I am sure he will stay involved somehow. "
Franchitti joined Target Chip Ganassi Racing in 2008, and in just five seasons delivered two Indianapolis 500 wins (2010 and 2012), the first-ever run of three-consecutive IndyCar Series titles by a Target driver (2009-2011), 13 Indy car wins, 16 pole positions and a win in the 2008 Rolex 24 At Daytona. He finished the 2013 IndyCar Series season with four podiums, seven top-five and 11 top-10 finishes, and his four pole positions were more than any other driver this season.
Overall, Franchitti made 265 career Indy car starts. His four championships are second only to A.J. Foyt on the all-time list, and he is only the third driver in Indy car history to win at least three consecutive titles.
Franchitti became one of only five drivers to win the Indianapolis 500 and the series title in the same season more than once. His 92 podiums place him fifth, his 119 top-five finishes place him tied for sixth and his 29 second-place finishes rank him 10th on the all-time lists.
In 2007, Franchitti became first professional race car driver to ever capture the 12 Hours of Sebring, the Indianapolis 500, an open wheel title and the Rolex 24 At Daytona consecutively, accomplishing the feat in less than one year. Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt are the only others to win the four titles, but neither did so in succession.
By winning the 2012 Indianapolis 500, Franchitti became just the 10th driver in history to win the race three times, and ends his driving career as the winningest driver in U.S. open-wheel history from Great Britain.
Franchitti was a thrilling driver to watch and had the daring that made him a star. But he also endured the loss of two of his closest friends in racing — Greg Moore, who was killed in a crash in a race at Fontana, Calif., Oct. 31, 1999; and Dan Wheldon, who was killed in a crash in a race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Oct. 16, 2011.
Franchitti realizes he has been fortunate to achieve tremendous success and has a chance to overcome the injuries that have brought an abrupt end to his racing career.
"I'll forever look back on my time racing in CART and the IndyCar Series with fond memories and the relationships I've forged in the sport will last a lifetime," Franchitti said. "Hopefully in time, I'll be able to continue in some off-track capacity with the IndyCar Series. I love open-wheel racing and I want to see it succeed. I'll be working with Chip to see how I can stay involved with the team, and with all the amazing friends I've made over the years at Target.
"As my buddy Greg Moore would say, 'See you up front.'"

Huge Water-Gun Fight Trashes Balboa Park Ponds
Monday, August 13, 2012
San Diego police are investigating a huge water-gun fight that left landmark lily ponds at Balboa Park trashed, bashed and partly drained, causing an estimated $10,000 in damage.
U-T San Diego says at least 1,500 people took part in the pre-dawn fight on Sunday that was organized on social media, including Facebook.
Organizers specifically urged participants to avoid the century-old lily ponds but authorities say some trampled new landscaping, destroyed ornate floating Victorian lilies, broke a drain pipe and collapsed some planters.
No arrests have been made. U-T San Diego says organizers of the event are asking people to donate money to cover the damages.

Timothy Felder, Stanley Etoty and company modeling in a very sultry and most creative photoshoot we have seen for a LGBT event in such a long time. We think you would agree.

Looking for a preview of tonight's game between the Celtics and the Magic that goes deeper into the numbers? We've got you covered right here . . .
It'll be a while before fans forget about Jeff Green's buzzer-beating 3-pointer at Miami, but the fourth quarter of games has not been Green's finest moments this season. In fact, the fourth quarter has been his worst in terms of shooting percentage (26.1) and that's in part due to him launching more threes in the fourth (39.1) than in any other quarter of play.
Known for his Energizer bunny-like effort, Wallace is channeling that into being a more efficient scorer. He's shooting better than 51 percent from the field which isn't all that surprising for a guy who has made a living off slashing to the basket for lay-ups. But this season, his shooting numbers have been aided by him connecting on a career high-tying 38.5 percent of his threes.
Talk about saving your best for last. Bradley takes the bulk of his three-point shots (31 percent) in the fourth quarter which is also his best quarter in terms of shooting the ball (58.8 percent). That includes him nailing 40 percent on threes, his highest shooting percentage on threes in any quarter.
Among the areas Orlando has improved upon from last year is fast-break points. A year ago, they were among the NBA's worst with a 9.9 points per game average while shooting just 60.1 percent on fast breaks. This year, they are up to 11.4 points via fast breaks while shooting 66 percent on fast-break attempts.
Look for the Magic to try and get Nicholson more mid-range shot opportunities, especially if he's on the floor in the fourth quarter. He shoots 50 percent from mid-range this season but gets few looks in the fourth which is evident by just 25 percent of his shots in the fourth quarter being mid-range attempts.
Posterized by Jeff Green on Friday, Maxiell is used to being the one with lay-ups and dunks and not getting dunked on. Lay-ups and dunks made up a big part of his game in Detroit. Now with Orlando, Maxiell has seen dunks and lay-ups account for a smaller percentage of his shot attempts (21 percent now compared to 31.5 last season).

Coinstar: Counting More Than Coins
Like the loose change that is Coinstar's (CSTR) bread-and-butter, the coin-counting company's after-hours earnings announcement Feb. 7 was almost an afterthought. Announcing a deal with Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) will have that effect.
Under the terms of the agreement, Wal-Mart will increase the number of Redbox DVD rental units from 800 to more than 3,000 over the next 12 to 18 months. Wal-Mart will also install 2,000 coin-counting machines in the superstores, to go along with the current 400. Elated investors, who had seen the stock fall 16% since Oct. 31, pushed the shares up 10%, to close at 31.97 on Feb. 8.
Still, Coinstar did release earnings. The Bellvue (Wash.) company, which also operates Redbox DVD machines and gift card dispensers, lost $22.3 million, or 80¢ a share, in 2007, against a gain of $18.6 million, or 66¢ a share in 2006. Revenues came in at $546.3 million, compared with $534.4 million in 2006, an increase of 2.2%.
The loss came on a $65.2 million write-off in its entertainment business, which includes rides and games placed in the entrances of supermarkets. Over the next 12 months, Coinstar will be pulling the machines out of Wal-Mart stores, to be replaced with the DVD and change counting units, hence the massive markdown.
"It's been a bit of a disappointment money-wise," analyst Eric Wold of Merriman Curhan Ford (which is a market maker in Coinstar securities) said. "But they're replacing a lot of the space those [ride and game] machines took up at Wal-Mart and replacing them with higher margin and higher revenue Redbox and coin-counting machines."
However, the losses might just be the cost of doing business with the Bentonville (Ark.)-based retail giant. Coinstar bought its entertainment division three-and-a-half years ago as a way to get its coin-counting machines into Wal-Mart's superstores. "At the time they bought it, Wal-Mart was 50% of that company's revenues," Wold said. "Frankly, if they hadn't bought [the entertainment business], we wouldn't be discussing Wal-Mart at all."
Still, not everyone has been so enthusiastic. Coinstar said it expects revenues of $125 million from the deal by mid-2009, but that makes 2008 another transitional year, as it was in 2007. "The company's not going to see a substantial return on this for 12 to 18 months," B. Riley analyst Ali Mogharabi said.
Yet the phasing out of the games, leaving the coins and DVDs businesses, may make Coinstar a bit more recession proof. During a recession, consumers might think twice about paying $15 a month for Netflix or $5 for a movie rental from a store front, but they'll likely pony up $1 for a Redbox rental.
And while shoppers might refrain from dropping their coins into a crane game for a chance to win a stuffed animal, they'll be predisposed to depositing those coins into the Coinstar kiosk's gaping maw, especially now that consumers can avoid the 9% fee by loading money onto a prepaid gift cards. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned.

As someone who enjoys bad movies — or perhaps "enjoys" is the wrong word and "derives an unnatural masochistic pleasure from" are the right ones — I know exactly where Tim Grierson is coming from in his article on Deadspin entitled "The Razzies are the Worst," even though his headline isn't quite right for his premise. In fact, The Razzies (a.k.a. The Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. the one internationally recognized awards show dedicated to [dis]honoring bad movies) aren't the worst, and therein lies the problem. Rather than shaming the truly bad, they take potshots at the most notorious flops and actors. Rather than scraping the bottom of the barrel, they just shoot fish in a barrel. Does that make sense? There are barrels involved somehow.
Here is part of Grierson's conclusion:
"The Razzies make fun of only the fattest of targets, and in doing so they commit the same crime as the Oscars—they judge movies as a function of fame and publicity. They aren't, as many people suppose, the bad-movie equivalent of the Oscars; they're more like the upside-down People's Choice Awards. Both are voted on by the general public and both give awards to the biggest, most obvious stuff in the culture."
Grierson's argument might sound a little crazy, because he's essentially arguing for more purity in the way we select the worst movies of the year, but he's absolutely correct. All movie awards, even ones about badness, are subjective, but the Razzies get things "wrong" quite a bit, and their mistakes do tend to favor public whipping boys (or girls). For example, you can be pretty sure if Madonna makes a movie in a given year she'll be Razzie nominated, whether she deserves it (as in the case of "Swept Away," 2002's Razzie Worst Picture winner) or not (as in the case of "Four Rooms," 1995's Worst Supporting Actress winner despite the fact that Madonna is barely in the film). Like the Oscars, the Razzies are all about the meta-narrative around the film rather than the film itself. Was the budget bloated and wasteful? Were there public rumors of on-set strife between director and star? Did a musician try to act and fail? If your movie answered yes to any of these questions, odds are you're Razzie bound, whether you truly deserve to be or not.
This year's soft target is Adam Sandler, who snagged a Razzie-record eleven nominations this year, most for his film "Jack & Jill." As someone who's seen four of the five Worst Picture nominees, I can tell you that "Jack & Jill," while crummy, was not even close to the worst of the worst of 2011. it wasn't as soul-crushingly bad as fellow nominees like "Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star" or "New Year's Eve," nor was it as bad as a bunch of movies that got snubbed (or mercifully ignored, I guess) like "Colombiana," "Arthur," "The Rum Diary," or "Johnny English Reborn." Yet the press release that accompanies the nominees on the Razzies' website lobbies so hard for "Jack & Jill" to win Worst Picture — it claims it has the "inside track" for the prize — it looks like it was typed with crossed fingers.
Hell, I'll admit it: I laughed a few times at "Jack & Jill," mostly at the antics of Al Pacino, playing himself as a modern day riff on the lovesick billionaire character from "Some Like It Hot." Falling over himself with lust for the hideous female version of Sandler, Pacino was lively and invested; way more lively and way more invested, weirdly, than he has been in any "serious" movie he's made in the last ten years. He looked like he was having fun and, at least in his scenes, that sense of fun was infectious. You could fault "Jack & Jill" for a lot of things, but not Pacino's performance. So why the hell was he nominated for Worst Supporting Actor? Did the people voting for "Jack & Jill" even watch it? Actually, Grierson notes in his piece that Razzie voters are under no obligation to watch all — or even any — of the nominees.
Maybe the Razzies' flaws make them the perfect venue to award bad movies. Maybe a system where 657 people who care enough about bad movies to pay a membership fee for the right to vote on them are the perfect judges for films that couldn't bother to approach even the base level of competence of a Lifetime Movie Network movie about a man plotting to kill his own daughter so he can marry her best friend and then harvest her eggs to sell them on the black market (rather than name the plot of a single Lifetime Movie Network movie, I cobbled together the plot of every Lifetime Movie Network movie I've casually observed in the company of my wife, who will be really upset with me when she finds out I just revealed her love of the Lifetime Movie Network). Maybe the Razzies' mistakes are emblematic of the movies' mistakes in an elegant way.
Or maybe the Razzies should strive to be better than the movies they're destroying. The awards' biggest problem is there's really no delineation between a truly unwatchable piece of garbage and a movie that transcends its own limitations to become something more than the sum of its mistakes. Not all bad movies are created equal, nor watched with equal amounts of pain. Was "Showgirls" really the "worst" movie of 1995? It was certainly the most infamous movie of 1995, but history has proven the film has a perverse sort of watchability. I've seen it dozens of times, own it on Blu-ray (because a DVD copy is not nearly hi-res enough to admire the, uh, intricacies of the cinematography), and never get sick of it. Meanwhile one viewing of one of 1995's Worst Picture runner-ups, "It's Pat: The Movie," very nearly killed me. I'd rather watch "Showgirls" 500 times, "Clockwork Orange"-style, than watch "It's Pat" just once more. I would argue there should be two top awards at the Razzies: one for Worst Picture ("It's Pat," we salute you!) and one for Best Worst Picture (thank you, Paul Verhoeven and Joe Eszterhas!).
The Razzies are like the Oscars in another way: as the established behemoth in their field, they have very little competition and no real reason to change. I doubt Grierson's complaints or my suggestions will be heard, much less heeded. Which is too bad. As strange as it sounds, bad movies deserve better.

It was a Kapoor night recently on the sets of the popular dance reality show
Ranbir Kapoor along with his parents Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh visited the sets of dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 to promote their upcoming film Besharam. And as always the Kapoor lad didn't shy away from taking the centre stage and showing off his moves. There was one more Kapoor actor whose presence lit up the sets of the show. Yes, we are talking about the dashing Anil Kapoor. The Slumdog Millionaire star was on the show to promote his much-awaited action-drama series 24. While Ranboo matched a few steps with Lauren Gottleib, this time it was the Beta actor who got lucky and danced with ever graceful Mads. We still remember the oh-so hot number dhak dhak in which their chemistry was nothing less than crackling!
Anil and Madhuri, who rued the silver screen once-upon-a-time, set the stage on fire with their chemistry. Now we can hardly wait to see these two grooving hand-in-hand once again. What about you?
FYI, wethinks Anil-Madhuri's chemistry hasn't changed a bit over the years. Don't believe us? Then check out the pictures!

Maybe you are right. I'd love to have Bacarri Rambo. As I said in my initial post I will do another one after the combine and after free agency that is more directed on what I think the Steelers will do. But this one is what I would do right now not knowing what lies ahead.
Steelers 2015 Draft???....Go Freak! As in....
1-Bernardrick McKinney MLB Mississippi State 6 ft 5 250 4.5 40 yard dash
Me too. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked to see us get a TE in #1 or #2. A TE can provide both protection for the QB as well as a receiving threat. We don't know how healthy Heath will be to start the season. Even when Heath is healthy it still can't hurt to have two top notch guys who can work in this Offense.
I also see why many want to go Defense. Despite the investment that has been made there, the D is on the older side of things and will need to have replacements sooner rather than later.
Looks decent. I'm not sure we'll pick a QB that high, but who knows? I'm still not sold on Teo being that much better than Larry Foote. As high as we're drafting, I want a game changing NT or OLB. I kinda think we need an ILB like we need an OG. I'll take either if it's the best player available.
I'm thinking the Steelers will draft a Safety and TE in the draft, but what rounds is anyones guess.
Super early to put out a mock draft- too many variables between now & draft time, but from the early looks of it- there's not too much wrong with that.
Is it just Chadman, or are people more 'narcky' this off-season than normal? Can't remember the last time Hawaiiansteel had a shot at someone.... and with Crash back stirring drinks left, right & center... could be an interesting few months on our hands...
Schiavone's Race Career:
Starts- 10
Wins- 2
2nd- 4
3rd- 0
Other- 4
Prizemoney- $60,050.00
Yes, it's sad to see "peers" like the Ravens and the Cheats* (i.e. perennial powerhouses from the 2000's) battling it out again... while we sit home early again.
As for the draft, I don't think we take a QB this year. I'm not into coddling, but I think the relations with Ben aren't so strong right now (i.e. taking his beloved Arians from him, replacing with abrasive new OC). I think they should try and cool it a bit for all our sakes.
Dee I have seen every game of Landry Jones's career. While I think he has all the physical tools and is a great character kid. I don't think he will ever learn to handle the pressure that he will face in the NFL. He melts under pass rush and big game pressure.
Trade next years 1st and 3/41 for a top 2nd round this year
1) Pat Mahommes-QB-TT
2) Carl Lawson-OLB-Auburn
2) Jarrad Davis-ILB-Florida
3) Cam Sutton-CB-Tenn
4) Samaje Perine-RB-OU
5) Ryan Switzer-WR-UNC
6) Brendan Langley-CB-Lamar
7) Billy Brown-TE-Shepherd

ok,so say i ordered a bone stock Cosmic Ears Ba2,how much will the whole deal cost,including impressions? how long does it take to complete the process of impressions,build and shipping? shipping cost to Toronto Canada? i've emailed him,but no response to this particular question,must have missed it :$
Oh these are great for EDM, i was talking just in general. For EDM they were awesome.... But for general use the MA2 are better, and also very good for EDM!
which one of the univerals have all of those attributes and are good with piano/synths? here's a link to the type of music i listen to https://soundcloud.com/archefluxx/redline emphasis of kick,clap/snare,synth and a ton of soundstage/seperation


text: My name is Shalay Cano. I am working on raising money for a victim of a crime. On December 15, 2012, My neighbor and friend, Vicky, was shot 4 times by her husband. The result of this accident has left her, not only mentally and physically drained, but she now has one less income coming into her household. As a result, she will have extreme stress on her finances. She is left to pick up the pieces of this horrible crime on her own. She is home from the hospital after undergoing surgery. She was not able to stay there, because she needed to take care of her son. She is a fighter, and an extremely strong woman. But, during this time of year, she could really use a helping hand. We are raising money to give to her as a Christmas/Holiday miracle. Any and all help would be appreciated. To hear more about the story, check out the links below. We hope you can find it in your hearts to donate to this honorable cause. We have put the goal as $10,000, but the more we can raise, the better it will be for the family. Thank you so much and have a wonderful holiday season.

For a few different reasons, Hewlett-Packard has been in the news over the past few days. In their 3rd quarter 2011 report, they stealthily announced two major changes that would transform the face of HP. And they seem to have taken most people by surprise: (1) WebOS and devices running it are over and done. That means not only the just recently launched TouchPad, but the HP Pre phone as well, which will never see the light of day in the United States. (2) They're getting out of the PC market by spinning off their Personal Systems Group (PSG for short). The focus has really been on the TouchPad with its rapid fall from grace, but yesterday shifted from HP to an unlikely target of both press coverage and customer ire – Barnes and Noble.
Really this all started when HP dropped the price of their TouchPad units to $99. As mentioned above, HP killed the TouchPad after discouragingly low sales since its launch in July, slashing the price to clear inventory. Over this past weekend, even retailers like Best Buy decided to get rid of inventory in a massive fire sale instead of sending the unsold remainder of their inventory back to HP (having only sold about 25,000 out of the original 270,000 they had). From the original $499 down to $399, the final price they sold their mountain of TouchPads at dropped to the same staggeringly low $99 for the 16GB version. Unfortunately, I was not quick enough on the draw to secure one, as they completely sold out. A 75% price cut and financial losses aren't exactly the way most companies (I would imagine anyway) want to say they sold out a product but hey, they're working with what they got.
The web went into a frenzy as a handful of other retailers began to follow suit. One of those retailers was Barnes and Noble. To be honest I wouldn't even think of looking for a TouchPad at B&N if I wanted one, given the fact they are not only primarily a bookstore, but have their own B&N Nook that they push pretty hard against devices like Amazon's Kindle and other budget tablet PC's. But lo and behold, the $99 16GB TouchPad was listed on their website. I almost ordered one from them. Almost. But my suspicions of whether or not I would actually receive one got the best of me and I decided against it. And according to a number of miffed customers, I was right in doing so.
Of all of the eager customers that placed TouchPad orders with Barnes and Noble, I've yet to read anything online about anyone who's gotten one. Instead of a tablet, the majority of customers seemed to have gotten an email indicating that their order was cancelled. Outraged customers took to the web and flocked to twitter to air their gripes for all to see. Just search for "barnes and noble" on twitter or the #barnesandnoble hashtag to see what I mean. For lack of a stronger and much more powerful phrase, B&N just straight oversold it.
Now I understand why these fine folks are upset. By overselling, Barnes and Noble customers were allowed to place an order on an item that B&N probably sold out of in an hour, if not less. And the belief that they would soon have a cheap shiny tablet came crashing down with a cancellation email in lieu of their new toy. By being allowed to place an order, B&N told customers "yes, we have this" and encouraged them to buy. I've seen a lot of sites pull items immediately after they're sold out, and have even seen some retailers give shoppers warnings as to how many units are still available before stockout. With as much business as B&N does online, it seems kind of strange that they don't have a better inventory tracking or order fulfillment system that can tell when orders placed are equal to or greater than the number of units on hand. Especially when it's something everyone is going to jump for.
if (units_ordered <current_units) {
else {
alert("They gone yo");
OK, so that's a REALLY loose statement that probably wouldn't work, but I'm just sayin'. I think you get the idea.

Almost Home!
We needed calories because we have a long hike ahead of us today! It is still so strange to us how much water we drink when we are hiking. Some of us think we will try to drink a lot more water when we get home.
Food-o-meter: 6/10
Health rating: 7/10
Mouthfuls: about 30
Course: Trail lunch
Price: about $2.32
Pieces of hair and nature: 0 hair and 1 ant
View: 2/10 (there wasn't much to see except how much further we had to hike!)
Today's view is the trail between Dardanelles and the Big Meadow trailhead, which is the end of our trip!
There isn't a lot to see and we are sort of sad the trip is almost over and sort of happy because we are a little tired. We all agree that we could go a couple more days, though!
Today's song is On My Honor, which is a US Girl Scout song. It makes us a little sad to sing it because we sing it on the last night of camp every year and it always makes everyone cry, especially our leaders. We wish camp wouldn't end but we know we'll stay friends even when we're not at camp. We all want to come back next year to be Rovers, who go out on a 4-day backpacking trip! Some of us want to be Superpackers already, but they go out for 12 days and that seems like it would be really hard, but we are having so much fun that maybe it wouldn't be so bad!
Today we want to challenge all Girl Scouts to donate to Mary's Meals! This is the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts in the US, and we should all be grateful for the opportunities Girl Scouting and especially Girl Scout camp has given us. We are writing to the Girl Guides in Malawi and we hope they get to have as much fun as we do here!
Camp director FIREFLY here...on behalf of Two Sentinels Camp, all our volunteers, and the Girl Scouts of Northern California, we all want to thank VEG and her NeverSeconds blog for the terrific opportunity for our girls to take part in this global conversation. Thinking about the food they eat and the kids, especially the girls, helped by Mary's Meals has been a life-changing experience for our WANDERERS...thank you, so very much.
7 comments:
I've very much enjoyed this week's lunches! I went to this same camp when I was younger, about twenty years ago now!
ReplyDeleteRepliesNo way!! I'm sure we have staff at camp who were there with you as a child! PLEASE email me so we may add you to our alumnae list. We marked our 75th anniversary last year amid much hooplah and celebrating with past campers and staff, and we plan to continue celebrating milestones with our beloved alumnae... email@example.com.
I am moved to tears by the love shown on this blog an example of which is the thanks written on behalf of the Girl Scouts of Northern California. Through the discussion of food VEG has created something special that invites the whole world to speak. To see girls connecting with each other like this can only lead to consequences that are good.
ReplyDeleteCamp Director Firefly's husband here... There is nothing so gratifying as being a dad at camp, except perhaps when the girls happen upon an especially brilliant (to borrow the particularly apt British usage) opportunity to go global with their passion. I echo Firefly's gratitude for this opportunity from Veg and her dad, and encourage everyone to join us in support of Mary's Meals kitchen in Malawi!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I regret about moving to the city is how much I miss just walking into the woods and communing with nature whenever I wanted. This week really made me remember some awesome hikes and my time spent at my 4H camp. I'm so glad you all had an amazing trip (and it looks like you had excellent weather for it)!

MINNEAPOLIS — Former Minnesota punter Chris Kluwe says the team's special teams coordinator made anti-gay comments while Kluwe was with the Vikings.
Kluwe wrote a scathing article on the website Deadspin on Thursday. In it, he alleges that coach Mike Priefer made several anti-gay comments in objection to Kluwe's outspoken support of a gay marriage amendment in Minnesota.
Kluwe also said coach Leslie Frazier and general manager Rick Spielman encouraged him to tone down his public rhetoric on gay marriage and several other issues. Kluwe signed with the Raiders but was cut this summer and did not play in the NFL this season.
The Vikings issued a statement saying they take the allegations seriously. They also say he was released because of his football performance, not something else.

Comments about Postpartum Abdominal Binder:
The second I stood up after giving birth to my daughter, I felt incredibly unstable in my midsection. It really bothered me. I had my mom run out an buy something to support my abdominals and this is what she brought home. I wore it for 2 weeks and it was exactly what I needed to be able to walk and move around feeling supported. Sure it was bulky and rode up a bit, but I didn't care. I wore it outside of my clothes so it was easy to adjust. I don't really get the complaints of it not looking good - that was the last thing on my mind those first few weeks of motherhood! For the price, it's an excellent thing to have on hand incase you feel you need it after birth.

Comments about Postpartum Abdominal Binder:
I thought this would be a good idea and if it was not such a piece of junk I think it would be. It rides up and bunches up when you sit. The sizing chart is wrong. I ordered a medium which should have barely fit but it is too big. Don't waste your money.

OLYMPIA, Wash. - The privatization of liquor sales in Washington this year is having an unintended side effect: increasing theft of booze. In Olympia Friday, lawmakers quizzed top managers of the state Liquor Control Board.The agency's deputy director, Rick Garza, says there are now five times as many liquor outlets in the state than before privatization."We've been hearing it — like all of you — in news reports and anecdotally that there are organized crime rings that are going into large grocery stores and coming out with carts of hard liquor."Garza says the association of sheriffs and police chiefs has asked the state to require liquor retailers to track and report all of their thefts and losses.Garza says the state liquor control board supports that idea as an initial step to get a handle on the problem. First though, he says retailers and the public will have a chance to comment on this proposed data reporting rule.On the Web:Washington State Liquor Laws and Rules (Washington State Liquor Control Board)

Every week, I focus on the list of consistent dividend raisers, which announce dividend hikes. I define consistent dividend raisers as companies which have managed to reward shareholders with higher dividends for at least five years in a row. Below, I have listed each company which boosted distributions, grouped them by some common denominator, and then provided my take on the company.
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP) operates as a pipeline transportation and energy storage company in North America. This master limited partnership raised quarterly distributions to $1.23/unit. Kinder Morgan is a dividend achiever, which has consistently boosted distributions for 16 years in a row. Yield: 5.80% (analysis)
Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) owns and operates energy transportation and storage assets in the United States and Canada. The company operates in six segments: Products Pipelines-KMP, Natural Gas Pipelines KMP, CO2—KMP, Terminals KMP, Kinder Morgan Canada KMP, and NGPL PipeCo LLC. The company raised its quarterly distributions to 35 cents/share. The general partner of Kinder Morgan Partners has raised distributions consistently since going public in 2011. I like the above average yield coupled with the above average dividend growth rate. Yield: 4% (analysis)
Long-time readers know that I own i-share units of Kinder Morgan Management LLC (KMR), which distribute stock instead of cash distributions. That way I do not have to worry about K-1 forms on my investment in the partnership. Once I retire and need the cash flow however, I would probably end up selling KMR and purchasing KMP instead. Currently, if one is in the accumulation stage, it makes sense to purchase KMR, since it is trading at a steep discount to KMP. The partnership expects long-term distribution growth of 5%/year for limited partners. The partnership does expect low double digit long term distribution growth for the general partner interest, which is what Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI) offers. KMI owns the incentive distribution rights to Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP), which entitle it to 50% of distributions above a certain threshold. As a result, KMI offers a lower yield, but much faster dividends growth, which should translate into higher total returns than KMP. Over the past year, I have been a steady acquirer of Kinder Morgan (KMI) stock on dips, while for KMR I have simply reinvested distributions.
National Retail Properties, Inc. (NNN) is a publicly owned equity real estate investment trust. The company raised its quarterly distributions by 2.60% to 39.50 cents/share. This dividend achiever has boosted distributions for 23 years in a row. Yield: 5.30%
Overall I find National Retail Properties' dividend to be at risk. The company had Funds from Operations of $1.57/share, and the annual dividend is slightly over that at the new rate. As a result, this stock is a hold at best.
The following two companies have managed to boost distributions for over ten years in a row, and seem attractively priced at the moment. I would be analyzing each in detail, before deciding if they have what it takes to keep rewarding shareholders with higher distributions over time:
The J. M. Smucker Company (SJM) engages in manufacturing and marketing branded food products primarily in the United States, Canada, and internationally. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 8.30% to 52 cents/share. This dividend achiever has raised distributions for 13 years in a row. Yield: 2.70%
Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (SWK) provides power and hand tools, mechanical access solutions, and electronic security and monitoring systems primarily in the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Canada. The company raised its quarterly dividend by 19.50% to 49 cents/share. This dividend champion has raised distributions for 45 years in a row. Yield: 3%
Other companies raising distributions include:
Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP), through its subsidiaries, engages in the transportation of natural gas through interstate pipeline systems, and the storage of natural gas in underground facilities in the United States. This master limited partnership raised quarterly distributions to 48.50 cents/unit. Spectra Energy Partners has boosted distributions for 6 years in a row. Yield: 6.10%
TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (TLP) operates as a terminaling and transportation company. This master limited partnership raised quarterly distributions to 64 cents/unit. TransMontaigne Partners has boosted distributions for 8 years in a row. Yield: 7.40%
The Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB) operates as an energy infrastructure company in the United States. The company raised its quarterly dividend to 31.25 cents/share. Williams Companies has raised distributions for 9 years in a row. Yield: 4%
Since Spectra Energy, TransMontaigne Partners and Williams Companies have not boosted distributions for over ten years in a row, I would just add them to my list for further research.

text: Crews removing massive rocks from W.Va. 3 By The Associated Press December 30, 2013 SUNDIAL, W.Va. -- A section of W.Va. 3 in Raleigh County is expected to remain closed for at least 10 days while crews remove three large boulders that fell onto the road from a hillside, a Department of Transportation spokeswoman said Monday.The road near Sundial has been closed since the boulders and debris fell on Friday. Crews began blasting the boulders with explosives on Sunday."This process is quite difficult due to the location of the road, which is sandwiched between a hillside and the Coal River. Measures must be taken to limit the amount of debris that enters the water," DOT spokeswoman Carrie Bly said in a news release.The Division of Highways has hired Beckley-based Vecellio & Grogran to oversee the project. Beckley Drilling and Blasting was subcontracted to coordinate the blasting work. "We're going to blast it and haul it out of here," Alan Reed, a Division of Highways assistant district engineer, told The Register-Herald. "That's the first step."Work to stabilize the hillside will begin after the road is cleared, Bly said.Jimmy Wriston, senior engineering adviser for state Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox, said he and Reed will consult with DOH geotechnical engineers to determine how to stabilize the hillside. "We're looking at what we're going to do about preventing this from occurring again," Wriston told the newspaper.Donna Hayes, who lives near the site of the rockslide, said she heard a boom on Friday while watching television."I had family and friends that had just driven underneath [the rock] before the fall," Hayes told the newspaper. "It's very scary."She said she and her sister-in-law had raised concerns to the DOH after a previous slide."We told them two years ago to fix that [rock], and they didn't," Hayes told the newspaper.Johnny Boggess, of Naoma, said Friday's rockslide is the worst he has seen on the road."I've watched those rocks for years and wondered what kept them up there," Boggess said. "Especially that one. That was a monster. I wasn't surprised at all it came down."

wikiHow to Make a Bar Graph in Excel
Five Parts:Sample Bar GraphsAdding DataHighlighting the DataChoose a GraphModifying the Bar GraphCommunity Q&A
Creating charts, graphs and other visual representations of data is one of Microsoft Excel functions. This data can be transferred to Word, PowerPoint or other programs. Read this wikiHow to learn how to make a bar graph in Excel.
10 Second Summary
1. Open a new document. More ↓
2. Create a data series with a single independent variable. ↓
3. Highlight the series you have entered, including column titles. ↓
4. Click on the "Charts" tab of the user interface. ↓
5. Click on the arrow next to the type of chart you would like to make. ↓
6. Select the type of bar graph you want from the choices available. ↓
Sample Bar Graphs
Part 1
Adding Data
1Open your Microsoft Excel program.
2Choose an existing spreadsheet by clicking "Open" in the "File" menu. Create a new spreadsheet by clicking "New" in the document wizard or File menu.
3Create a data series with a single independent variable. Bar graphs are horizontal charts that show numbers or data from 1 variable.
- Add the labels for the variable and the data at the top of the columns. For example, if you want to graph the number of tickets sold for each of the top 10 summer movie releases, you would write "Movie Title" on the top of the first column and "Tickets Sold" on top of the second column.
4Consider adding a sub-data series in the third column. With the bar graph function, you can use a clustered or stacked bar graph that shows a second number that is identified with the variable.
- Make sure that the sub-data series is labeled at the top of the third column. Also, ensure that the data is given using the same format, such as dollars or numbers.
Part 2
Highlighting the Data
1Highlight the entire series you have entered, including column titles. Microsoft Excel will use your columns to separate the X and Y axis.
2Click on the "Charts" tab of the horizontal user interface. If you do not see the "Charts" tab, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Charts" from the drop down menu.
- If you are using an older version of Microsoft Excel, you will need to go directly to the Insert menu and select "Charts" to access the chart wizard.
Part 3
Choose a Graph
1Click on the arrow next to the type of chart you would like to make. If you want a traditional bar graph, you will choose "Bar." If you want a vertical graph, click the arrow next to "Column."
2Select the type of bar graph you want from the choices available in the Bar menu. You can choose 2-D, 3-D, Cylinder, Cone or Pyramid shaped bar graphs.
- You can also choose to cluster or stack your bar graph to highlight a second type of data in your data series.
3Wait for the image of your graph to appear in the middle of your Excel sheet.
Part 4
Modifying the Bar Graph
1Double click on the interior of your bar graph.
2Click through the options for fill, line, shadow, 3-D format and glow & soft edges to format your bar graph. Click "Ok" when you are done formatting.
3Double click the area near the exterior of your bar graph. Choose a different font or formatting for the outside area of the graph. Click "Ok" after you make your changes.
- Click on "Alt Text" to name your graph and add a description. Click on "Properties" to choose the object positioning.
4Save your Excel sheet with your new bar graph.
5Click on the bar graph. When there are circles in all 4 corners, click "Copy." Paste the image into other programs to use it in reports or presentations.
Community Q&A
How can I copy and paste a graph?wikiHow ContributorIf you want to copy from excel and paste to word, for instance, then right click on the graph and select 'copy' from the drop-down menu, and paste it into your word document.
How do I adjust the bar graph width in Excel?wikiHow ContributorClick on the element you want to adjust. For example, if you want to adjust the width of the bars, you would click on the bars. If that doesn't bring up options, try right clicking. Decreasing the gap width will make the bars appear to widen. If you have more than one set of data (i.e. the cost of two or more items over a given time span), you can also adjust the series overlap. If you're not satisfied with the automatic layout of the axes, you can adjust these at your own peril.
How do I draw a bar graph when the variables are education, age, and income?
How can the bars display large to small in Excel?
How do I reduce the distance between the bars?
How do I move an Excel bar graph to a Word document?

It's like trying to phone somebody who doesn't have a telephone. Now praying is another thing altogether. It works! "Seek and ye shall find … ask and ye shall receive…" That, indeed, is another thing.
In my time spent as a lay chaplain in a hospital, I learned the truth of that. No amount of wishing could have helped to save the legs of the bitter woman who was brought in to have both of hers amputated. She went home with them still intact.
I also wonder why people waste time consulting horoscopes. In fact, many years ago — and I cringe at the very memory! — I was actually paid to write the ones that, together with a "lucky stone," were included in cans of coffee as a sales promotion.
Rather than "lucky," I prefer to say "blessed." In my vocabulary there are no such words as 'luck' or 'coincidence'. I have lived long enough now not to believe in either. Nor do I believe in 'ships passing in the night', either. I think that makes God too small. I believe that God is larger than mere chance and I believe that we meet, and things happen, by Divine Intervention. I agree that sometimes people one meets only briefly, inexplicably come along again some day, and become part of our lives. But what about brief encounters?
Each one of us, as we come into contact with one another, has a responsibility towards the other, whether we know it or not. Have you ever held a butterfly and noticed how some of its colour comes off in your hands? I'm sure you have. But you don't even have to hold it; if it were just to fly too close to you, only brush your sleeve in passing, some of its 'butterfly dust' would have been left behind on you. In the same way, something of you would already have rubbed off on me, and you'll go away carrying with you something of me. It may be a minuscule part, so small that you won't know that it is there, but it will be. We may possibly forget that we ever met, but none of us will ever be quite the same again.
