In his first television starring role since "Welcome Back, Kotter," award-winning actor and producer John Travolta will star as defense attorney Robert Shapiro in the FX miniseries "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson," from Executive Producers Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski, Brad Falchuk, and Dante Di Loreto.
The two-time Academy Award nominated and Golden Globe Award winning Travolta will portray Shapiro, a key member of O.J. Simpson's "Dream Team" during the sensational murder trial. He will also serve as a producer of the 10-part miniseries.
Travolta joins a cast which includes David Schwimmer as O.J. Simpson's confidant and attorney Robert Kardashian, Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J. Simpson, and Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark, who currently stars in "American Horror Story: Freak Show."
"American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" is written by Golden Globe-winning producers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Big Eyes, The People v. Larry Flynt). Emmy and Golden Globe award winning producer and Emmy Award winning Director Ryan Murphy ("American Horror Story," "The Normal Heart") will direct the first episode. "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. Production begins this spring in Los Angeles.
Based on the book "The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson" by Jeffrey Toobin, the miniseries is a look at the O.J. Simpson trial told from the perspective of the lawyers. It explores the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court, and how a combination of prosecution overconfidence, defense shrewdness, and the LAPD's history with the city's African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt.

Maple Leafs forward Clarkson eager to turn it aroundby Dan Rosen
TORONTO -- As the story of his first season with the Toronto Maple Leafs rapidly unfolded like a tragicomedy, right wing David Clarkson could have started asking a lot of questions that begin with why.
As in why did I sign to play in Toronto, one of the most demanding markets in the NHL? Or the reflective why can't it be like it was with the New Jersey Devils, where my role was defined, the results were positive, and mistakes, slumps and errors in judgment never burn a player publicly the way they do here?
Clarkson insists he didn't do that.
"Never," he said with a deadpanned look on his face at the start of training camp.
Could you have blamed him if he did? Last season was rough for Clarkson, who signed a seven-year, $36.75 million contract with the Maple Leafs on July 1, 2013.
He spent the first 10 games of the season watching because he was suspended for leaving the bench to join an altercation in a preseason game. It got worse from there.
Clarkson missed another 11 games because of injuries, was demoted to the fourth line, and finished the 2013-14 season with 11 points in 60 games.
That's one point for every $409,090.90 that he earned in actual salary ($4.5 million, according to CapGeek.com, of which all but $1 million is earned through signing bonuses). His salary-cap charge is $5.25 million.
"I think from the fans' standpoint and everybody else, obviously it was tough, but I wore that [Maple Leafs] jersey as a little boy and I didn't let anything written or said about me bother me," Clarkson said. "I didn't read it. I try not to pay attention to it. Is it tough? Yeah, because you hear about it. That's part of hockey, but I do not regret anything I did and I look forward for what's ahead for me."
That would be a fresh start without his problems from last season clouding the view of his teammates or Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis and coach Randy Carlyle. Clarkson will try to win back the trust of the fans in Toronto with the full support of his peers and bosses.
He isn't off to the greatest start.
Clarkson started training camp with a minor injury, and he's currently out because of a broken orbital bone, an injury he sustained in a fight with Buffalo Sabres forward Cody McCormick this past Friday. He is, however, expected to return to practice by the end of the week and to be ready for the season-opener against the Montreal Canadiens at Air Canada Centre on Oct. 8.
The injuries haven't changed Clarkson's mindset heading into the season.
"I was hitting that reset button and I'm still hitting it," Clarkson said Monday, according to the Toronto Sun.
Carlyle and Nonis are right behind him. Multiple times Carlyle has mentioned this season being a do-over for Clarkson.
"He's not the type of player we saw last year," Carlyle said. "Now, there are certain things that we think he can do to help himself and we're going to help him with, but he's a member of our hockey club, he's a Toronto Maple Leaf and we're going to provide him with the tools necessary to be David Clarkson, to make an impact for our hockey club."
To be fair, what else can Carlyle say about a player who is one season into a seven-year contract? Failing to support Clarkson publicly would likely create an even bigger controversy in Toronto than Clarkson did last season with his poor play.
But Carlyle and Nonis appear to be sincere in their support of Clarkson. It's unwavering, almost as if they've forgotten about his sins from last season.
They have repeatedly cited his history as a one-time 30-goal scorer (2011-12 season) and a forechecking, netfront forward with the Devils as reason enough to believe Clarkson will rebound this season.
"David Clarkson didn't turn into a bad hockey player overnight," Nonis said. "He had two very strong years prior to coming here. It looks like he's worked tremendously hard to come back and have a good year this year and he'll be given every opportunity to do that."
Carlyle has talked about trying to establish a top-nine group of forwards that can make up three viable scoring lines, something the Maple Leafs didn't have last season. Clarkson is supposed to be in the group and perhaps could start the season on the second line with Nazem Kadri and either Joffrey Lupul or James van Riemsdyk.
"I know [Clarkson], he got hurt a couple times last year and it was just a bit off in terms of getting into games, but he knows how good a hockey player he can be," Kadri said. "He can score goals. He can really contribute to this hockey team."
Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf said he could sense from the time he skated with Clarkson before training camp began that he was upbeat and ready to go.
"I think he's going to have a real good year for our team," Phaneuf said.
It certainly appears he's going to be given a long rope to redeem himself for what happened last season. It's up to Clarkson to make the questions stop, even if he's never been the one asking them.
"Last year was just something I can't explain to you," Clarkson said. "It was the toughest thing and I'm ready for what's ahead."

text: Business Globalization and liberal trade policies adopted by the nations all over the world have opened up markets for any company in any country. However, there are certain set of rules, the organizations need to abide by while expanding their realms globally. A number of formalities need to be completed to be able to set up business overseas. For common businessmen, it wont be a viable option to handle all the intricacies of the procedures on their own and this is where Immigration Services are required. Corporate Immigration Services: Obtaining visa to move to a foreign nation is perhaps a very toiling task at times; the reason being the need for extensive documentation and the overall approval process that may drag for quite a long period of time. Added to that most of the times, the visa seekers are unaware of the right channels and procedures for the procurement. Thus, the problems only get compounded. There are companies that have identified the issue and have come up with Corporate Immigration Services. Such companies offer assistance in relation to: Visa consultation and application processing Catering To Government Agencies: The matter of immigration involves a number of government agencies that need to be catered very professionally and objectively. Clearances form Ministry of Foreign Affairs, passport office, labor office and Home Ministry, etc. are not very easy to acquire. The whole process of maintaining government relations requires a very systematic approach which can only be offered by companies providing professional Immigration Services. From the details mentioned above one thing that is pretty evident is that Immigration issues can be best handled by professionals especially if corporate sector is involved. This will not only prevent wastage of time but at the same time avoid legal hassles associated with the whole process. In this regard, one can contact Business Pyramid Corporation. The company is a reputed Business Process Outsourcing Company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and offers a number of Business Outsourcing Services that include Finance and Accounting Services, Corporate immigration , Personnel Administration Services, Office Management, Travel Services, Business Support Solutions , Human Resources Relocation Services in Saudi Arabia.

Every weekday from June 12-27, we will be looking back at the "Top Shelf Moments" from the thrilling 2016-17 WCHA Women's League season. Up next on our countdown is…
Moment 9: WCHA Partners with FOX Sports North
The 2016-17 season brought unprecedented exposure for the nation's premier conference, as the WCHA partnered with FOX Sports North and FOX Sports Wisconsin on the Association's first-ever extended women's hockey television package. The region's preeminent sports network televised seven regular season contests during the campaign, plus the 2017 WCHA Final Face-Off championship game.
While each game showcased the WCHA's wonderful student-athletes, coaches and fans, the highlight perhaps came Jan. 21. On that Saturday afternoon, for the first time in the 11-year history of the event, women's college hockey and the WCHA were featured on Hockey Day Minnesota 2017. Fans tuning in on FOX Sports North were treated to a fantastic game between Minnesota State and host St. Cloud State. The Huskies jumped out to a 3-0, second-period lead on goals by Alyssa Erickson, Janna Haeg and Kayla Friesen, only to see the Mavericks launch a furious rally. Emily Antony and Sara Bustad scored in the second period to cut the deficit to one, before Emma Wittchow brought Minnesota State even with 6:34 remaining in regulation. The teams settled for a 3-3 tie through overtime, setting the stage for a thrilling five-goal, six-round shootout, eventually won by St. Cloud State on a goal from senior captain – and Shakopee, Minn. native – Lauren Hespenheide.
Also included in the package were a pair of Wisconsin home games also shown on FOX Sports Wisconsin: The Badgers' 8-2, Border Battle triumph over Minnesota on Jan. 13, along with a 2-0 victory over St. Cloud State on Jan. 14. The UW-SCSU game was the highest-attended women's hockey game ever in the United States, as 15,369 fans came to the Kohl Center in Madison for the Badgers' "Fill the Bowl" contest.
Three of the eventual top-10 finalists for the 2017 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award – Kelly Pannek, Sarah Potomak and Lara Stalder – were on the ice when Minnesota Duluth hosted Minnesota on Jan. 13, and all three scored in the third period of a thrilling 3-2 Bulldogs' triumph. A mid-February series between Bemidji State and St. Cloud State was also featured.
The 2016-17 package wrapped up with the Final Face-Off championship game between Wisconsin and Minnesota Duluth. The game, which featured potentially eight student-athletes who will compete at the 2018 Winter Olympics, was shown throughout the region on both FOX Sports North and FOX Sports Wisconsin. The Badgers' Sarah Nurse – who is on the Canadian centralized roster prior to the Olympics – took over in the third period with a goal and two assists, helping Wisconsin snap a 1-1 tie en route to the 4-1 victory.
The WCHA thanks FOX Sports North and FOX Sports Wisconsin for this partnership and we applaud them for sharing our commitment to growing women's hockey throughout the region. We look forward to continuing to shine the FSN television spotlight on our amazing student-athletes for years to come!

"Take Time"
Artist: Teresa McHugh of Dalton Gardens, Idaho
Location: Corner of 23rd Street and Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive
In February, 2009, the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission issued a Call to Artists for public art on a grassy location at the corner of 23rd Street and Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive, which is a point of entry/exit for Coeur d'Alene's downtown corridor from/to the east. No theme was suggested, allowing for open interpretation and creativity to make a lasting impression on residents and visitors.
Artist Teresa McHugh was one of 33 artists who submitted qualifications for the public art. The Selection Committee, consisting of seven (7) voting members including arts professionals, artists, citizens, and a council member, narrowed the submissions to three finalists and requested that maquettes be prepared. The maquettes were displayed for public comments at City Hall, and the Art of the Green event on July 31st through August 2nd. The recommendation of the Selection Committee was approved by the Coeur d'Alene City Council on September 21, 2009, and the artwork was dedicated on June 30, 2010.
"At the center of the sculpture stands a steel ponderosa pine approximately twenty feet in height. This lone tree represents the forests of our forefathers that blanketed the countryside and rimmed the lake. It gives a noble nod to the logging industry and to the sawmills that fed, clothed and housed our community for over a hundred years. It also stirs memories of the enduring strength of the people who have lived in this great place; laboring and persevering even during difficult times, of which there have been plenty. This portion of the sculpture is my toast to the past and Coeur d'Alene's enduring people.
The bronze portion of the sculpture symbolizes the future of Coeur d'Alene. The contemporary flowing shapes evoke many themes including: water, sailing, wind, and our citizen's hearts. The free flowing nature of these shapes inspires playfulness. In addition, for those who fondly refer to our town in the abbreviated form, it simply represents the letters 'Cd'A'. This portion of the sculpture also portrays the 'fun' of the piece and 'fun' we offer in Coeur d'Alene is what brings many visitors to our area. . . .
The entire sculpture is designed to cause the viewer to ponder and study as well as just simply enjoy . . . much like our wonderful little city." - Teresa McHugh

All of these on one day? I'll get Adam's for sure. The others? Time will tell.

I for sure want Lady GaGa and Susan Boyle. I've already grown tired of Adam Lambert. Eeeks. is that okay to admit? Or does it make me a bad gay?

@Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein, I know, especially since I love music so much there is hardly any singer or band that I don't like LOL!
@Larry Ohio, I still haven't went shopping, but I will and if I could only pick one it would be Shakira. This new one of hers is unlike her previous albums...lots of international flair in this one.
@Michael Rivers, If you already have Lady GaGa's The Fame, you might want to know that it is re-released in The Fame Monster! Or you can look for the 8 song version of The Fame Monster. I'll just get the deluxe version, since it will be more convenient than carrying both cds around.
Yes, Bad Gay! Bad Gay, since you are already tired of Adam Lambert! Support your community and embrace diversity! LOL
@Jim, I agree, and those hips don't lie! Shakira is top of my list!
@Kyle, both great choices! I hope you do a review of Susan Boyle's album, since I won't buy it right away. When I first heard her on youtube, I left a comment there saying I would buy her future cd. Now it's time to pay the piper or be a liar LOL. I'll get before Christmas and shop around for the best price!

Hey John, and welcome back! LoL :-) I liked your post and if I see you getting sucked in I'll through you a line. :-), just do the same for me. I'm becoming a big Lady Gaga fan all of a sudden she's great to workout to, her videos keep your attention and they aren't boring that's for sure. She's about the only one I would get right now.
- November 23, 2009 at 11:29 PM
- John said...
@lavonne, got you (the inside joke)! I am amazed at how many people are fans of Lady GaGa and not just young kids! She's quite the entertainer, isn't she! I can work out or dance along with her too and I do...(as long as no one is watching!) ha!

Developer Biography
Chris Newcombe is currently a Software Developer with Valve. Valve describes Chris on their web site as follows:
"Chris Newcombe is an experimental symbol-name and code-comment generation program that escaped into the wild in 1983 and has been growing more unbalanced ever since. In its early years, the program greatly expanded the volume of source code for a variety of tiny English software houses and Microprose UK, while successfully annoying its line managers. Due to a clerical error, the program was promoted to Internal Development Manager at Sega Europe where it advanced to annoying Directors and Board Members. A variety of short, violent software management jobs in the USA led to its present installation at Valve, where its current goal is to lengthen build times beyond 24 hours, so that a 'daily build' is no longer possible."

High-flying Derwent ended Melton's three-game winning streak, but the hosts felt they had done enough for a share of the spoils.
Buoyed by their good form in East Midlands Premier, Melton went into the game against second-placed Derwent in confident mood and started brightly, pushing the experienced visitors back.
But despite the early pressure, Derwent took the lead when indecision in the Melton defence led to a soft goal.
Melton could have buckled, as Derwent grew into the game, but as the title contenders looked to score from a short corner, the hosts bounced back in some style.
The ball ricocheted up into the air inside the home penalty area, and Judge volleyed the ball clear into midfield.
With Derwent caught up the pitch, Fleming switched it to Hewitt who in turn released Sibun away down the right wing.
With defenders struggling to get back, Sibun squared the ball for Kendall who fired the ball high into the net, finishing off a move which had swept from one end of the pitch to the other in a matter of seconds.
The equaliser spurred the home side on and they pressed forward again for what remained of the first half, and Derwent were fortunate to go in at half-time on level terms.
The second half saw the visitors improve and it became an attritional game, with the umpires having to resort to giving cards out to both teams.
With the match in the balance, chances were at a premium, but it was Derwent who eventually took the lead when a short-corner routine was allowed to dribble into Melton's goal.
It was harsh on Melton who had done enough to earn at least a point, and there was no way back, despite pinning the away side back for most of the final 10 minutes.
The First XI, who lie sixth, return to action with an away game against fourth-placed Ashby on Saturday (1pm start).
* It was another good weekend for Melton's Fourth XI who lifted themselves off the foot of the Central League South East Division Two with their second successive win.
Melton travelled to West Bridgford and hit their Ninth XI for six, following up their four-goal home win over Hampton-in-Arden the previous Saturday with a 6-3 win.

Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew says defensive tackle Nick Fairley, the team's 2011 first-round draft pick, has to get better.
"He could play more consistently," Mayhew told the Detroit Free Press. "I mean, he's got to mature a little bit as a professional, I think. I think that'd be a big step in him playing more consistently."
Fairley has been fine, but not great. He also suffers by comparison with the players drafted around him: Of the 16 players selected in the first half of the first round of the 2011 NFL draft, the only ones who haven't been chosen to a Pro Bowl are Fairley and quarterbacks Christian Ponder, Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbert. That was a loaded draft, and when you consider that Mayhew selected Fairley one pick before the Rams selected All-Pro defensive end Robert Quinn, you realize why Mayhew may have some buyer's remorse on Fairley.
When Fairley is on, he's a disruptive defensive tackle. What the Lions need is for Fairley to be on every play, every game.

Not a lot public. But a little.
Lots of changes, and more on the way.
Not a lot public. But a little.
Lots of changes, and more on the way.
One of the many reasons that small markets are not safe from the current roil: small papers and broadcast stations, with their low pay and heavy workload, have always been subsidized by the promise of advancing to a larger market, which (unlike the small papers) offered an upper-middle-class family wage and the time to produce high-quality work.
Now that larger markets tend to be basket cases, this subsidy will cease; fewer talented, hardworking people will be drawn to smaller markets; and the quality of small outlets will suffer observably.
In the two years I've been playing hooky from the blog — late '06 to early '09 — many outlets have launched exciting new lifeboats, most of which have been or are about to be sucked under by the Titanic that's about to submerge behind them.
The latest fad seems to be a call for papers to shun their still-unprofitable Web sites and turn to the real business at hand: harvesting ever-shrinking profit from the print product.
That's fine: if newspapers don't need us, we don't need them. Which was basically my argument in the following letter to an aspiring reporter. Among my claims:
1) Young journalists should generally not seek work at any general-audience outlet that is older than the Web browser.
2) Yes, that includes small markets.
3) The brightest up-and-comers are Web startups that cater to smaller, more highly motivated audiences.
4) For a newcomer, the likeliest path to a job at one of these startups wouldn't be demonstrated expertise in writing — it'd be demonstrated expertise in the subject matter.
Full letter follows.
Hi, Patricia-
GA-THUMP! I'm going to load you with more information than you need on a quiet Saturday morning.
First off, I'm a government reporter. I occasionally get to dabble in various sorts of artsier culture coverage, but mostly I'm interested in policy, and that's what I write about. But most of my reporting colleagues — features, sports, business — got here in more or less the same way.
Starting with the stuff about my own career: I worked four years at the main student paper where Anna and I went to college, including one summer internship at a free alt-weekly paper in my hometown. When I graduated with an English degree in 1999, this wasn't enough to get me in the door at a small-town daily paper, so my first job out of college was at a twice-weekly in rural Iowa. Then I took out $35,000 in loans to do grad school at Northwestern, whose j-school has a pretty good name. My best classes there were the semester I spent in D.C., covering Congress for the Tuscaloosa News (sort of a pseudo-internship) and a semester I spent writing the business plan for a prototype weekly paper for young adults in suburban Chicago.
This got me a job running the Web site at the Longview Daily News, a small-town paper in Washington, and after a year there I moved to a suburban daily outside Portland. I've been at the Columbian for two years now. I'm 27. I make $15.97 per hour, 40 hours a week, $33,500 a year; I rent a one-bedroom apartment in a nice neighborhood for $595; I shop at Safeway, own a '99 Toyota, rarely fly, save 10 percent for retirement and cook for myself five or six nights a week. I'm comfortable.
I love the freedom and independence of my job, which requires a good mix of artistry and technical knowhow. I like being able to play with different forms and I like learning something new almost every day. I like being responsible more to my readers and my community than to my company. I like having the respect of important people.
I file about four stories a week, 600 to 800 words each. I do four or five major projects (1,500-2,000 words) per year.
Like many newspapers, mine is dancing back and forth from the edge of bankruptcy and the bosses have no long-term plan to save it.
For the last 30 years, this was a fairly typical trajectory for daily newspaper journalists, both feature writers and news reporters: spend a few years in the boonies, working overtime until you collected a portfolio of good clips. Using these, and using contacts among your colleagues and competitors, you climbed your way up to bigger markets, which offered better pay, less quantity, more quality and more specialization.
Describing the journalism market right now is a tall order, so I'm going to depart from your template to do so.
Local newspapers have traditionally been the biggest employers of journalists, with the biggest audiences and the most influence. (National outlets aside.) And as I assume you've heard, newspapers are in big, big trouble. Eighty percent of our revenue comes from ads, but with a shrinking audience, ads in newspapers are becoming less valuable. The audience is shrinking because the Internet provides broader and deeper information than our print product ever can, and our online product is basically just an electronic version of the print product, so it's not going to save us, either.
The economy is making things worse, but this is a permanent situation. Buffett said that until the tide goes out, you don't see who's been swimming naked, and newspapers have been swimming naked for about a decade.
Local TV news, another big journalist employer, is in the same situation. Network TV audiences are shrinking just as fast, and their Web sites aren't any more innovative than newspapers'.
All this is to say that in case you were thinking about it, I would not recommend trying to break into general-audience outlets like newspapers or television. A smart newcomer could almost certainly find a job for a non-daily newspaper in a small town, but it'd almost certainly be a dead end.
Many people break into journalism by freelancing for local or niche magazines. General-interest magazines are also in trouble, but niches are doing better. Business newspapers and trade publications (like American Cop or Architectural Digest) also seem to be doing fine.
Freelancing requires some other source of income as you start, but it might be the best way to tap that artsier energy you mention. To start doing this, look on the Web site of a small publication you like (print or online) to find out if they pay for freelance pieces. If so, cold-call (or, better, walk into) their office and ask for advice on how and what to submit. Start with short stuff, and move to longer projects.
The up-and-comers, journalistically, are Web startups that cater to smaller, more highly motivated audiences (like, say, streetsblog.org). Right now, I'm looking for a job that'll let me do this for municipal policy, hopefully at a state or local level. It's hard to find, not least because of the thousands of laid-off newspaper journalists flooding the market.
I'd tell you more about those startups — who they tend to hire, how they pay, what skills they require — but I don't know and in any case I don't think the rules have been written. I think personal contact is very important for small companies like these, I don't think traditional journalism classes would do a very good job of preparing someone for this work and I don't think these companies would tend to care about what classes you've taken.
I suspect that for a newcomer, the likeliest path to a job at one of these startups wouldn't be demonstrated expertise in writing — it'd be demonstrated expertise in the subject matter. And I think the best way to demonstrate expertise on a topic is to launch a blog about it and post to it consistently over several months, whether or not it attracts a substantial audience.
That's just my hunch. I hope it (and at least a bit of the above) helps. Let me know if you have any other questions (if you dare).

The jet fuel infrastructure has recently undergone a significant expansion at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG). A new underground jet fuel hydrant system was constructed in conjunction with the Winnipeg Airports Authority's development of a new passenger terminal and concrete tarmac.
The fuel facility now consists of a jet fuel storage tank farm, underground jet fuel hydrant system, and gasoline and diesel storage and distribution facilities. Jet fuel is delivered into the tank farm by tanker truck, and is distributed to each aircraft gate through the hydrant system.
Services at the airport are provided by the Canadian Fuel Consortia, and include facility administration, into-plane fuelling and tank farm management. Approximately 26,000 flights are fuelled annually at the airport.

Russian smartphone manufacturer, Yota, informed that it is having differences with its manufacturers because of which, launching it is 2 screen handset i.e., Yotaphone 2, in the US no longer remains profitable. Effectively, the company is on the verge of dropping its plans to launch the new dual screen in North America, at least tentatively.
The company received almost $300,000 crowdfunding through Indiegogo. At the time, the company offered the dual screen yotaphone for $500. However, with the plans for 2016 having gone awry, the company is backtracking. Those who provided the funds have an option to buy the device on International market, in which case they will not have LTE support within the US, and may have to settle for services provided by AT&T, and T-Mobile. Alternately, these funders may seek a full refund of their monies.
However, the company has not completely scrapped the plans for launching these gadgets in the US markets. A company spokesperson informed The Verge that it is now on a lookout for partnering new manufacturers.
The smartphone market is witnessing downward trend, thanks to increasing saturation levels. The two screen device would certainly be something to look forward to, especially if it can be used with two different sim cards, and each screen is fairly large. Yota has not yet confirmed plans to stop introducing the product in the US and other North American countries. It has merely indicated its problems and its plans to launch the product in future if the terms with another manufacturer make it feasible.

First off, let's set the record straight "Dead Poets Society" is not a zany Robin Williams comedy. In fact, it's not a comedy at all.
Oh, there are a few funny moments, and Williams manages to get in a bit of shtick here and there, but not in a dominant sense. And what's there seems to fit the character played by Williams, one John Keating, an unorthodox English teacher in a conservative prep school in 1959.
Keating's specialty is poetry (his name, in fact, is quite close to a classical poet) and as he teaches his young students to appreciate the art, he also teaches them to stretch for individuality. He's interested in the emotion of poetry and the freedom of expression it represents, and he tries to instill some of that freedom in the boys who attend his class.
Of course, Keating is headed for trouble. This is a school that believes in strict tradition and corporal punishment. And as the film focuses on the boys in the class seven of the lads in particular it becomes apparent that Keating's influence is more prominent in the film than his actual presence. Much of the character is felt rather than seen. That fact may dismay some Williams fans initially, but it shouldn't he is the glue that holds the film together.
The boys who are the primary central focus of the film include Neil (Robert Sean Leonard), who hasn't the strength to stand up to his rigid, somewhat psychologically abusive father (Kurtwood Smith); Todd (Ethan Hawke), who is attending school in the shadow of his accomplished brother, and whose parents are neglectful (take note of the birthday gift scene); Charlie (Gale Hansen), who takes his desire for independence to an arrogant extreme; Knox (Josh Charles), who falls in love with a cheerleader, making for a comic-tragic romance; and some other boys who are well-drawn, but who have less to do.
When the lads discover that Keating, a graduate of the school himself, once was involved in a group called the "Dead Poets Society," which met in a nearby cave and read poetry aloud, they decide to re-form the group. But, needless to say, it eventually meets with administration disapproval.
Director Peter Weir ("Witness," "The Year of Living Dangerously") and screenwriter Thom Schulman do a marvelous job of delineating the various characters so that we know each one, and though the film is a bit long (two hours, 10 minutes), given the nature of the material, and there are a few recognizable stereotypes and predictable moments from too many coming-of-age films, "Dead Poets Society" nevertheless is ultimately moving and has an ending that will leave the audience thinking as it leaves the theater.
All the performances are excellent, particularly the complex shadings of Leonard, but Williams is especially memorable. He is gentle, sincere, troubled and humorous. With each new venture Williams shows he is a remarkable talent and, though a few years ago we might have suspected otherwise, he has found a surprising number of films that have worked for him, despite his penchant for off-the-wall weirdness.
Mention should also be made of John Seale's gorgeous cinematography and the nice, subtle score by Maurice Jarre. In fact, it's just nice to have a period film that doesn't rely on rock music from the time being depicted.
"Dead Poets Society" is rated PG for (non-graphic) violence, a couple of profanities and a nude Playboy magazine photo in one scene.

Remember when Boston-based firm Detwiler Fenton published a report that the Z10 was being returned at an abnormally high rate? BlackBerry stock declined 7% and the company wasn't thrilled.
BlackBerry blasted the report they asked for federal investigation. According to The Boston Business Journal, justice might be on the way.
"A former executive at a Verizon Wireless retailer was arrested Thursday for allegedly selling confidential sales and product information to the Boston financial services firm Detwiler Fenton, including information that caused BlackBerry's stock price to plummet in April 2013.
"James Dunham, the former chief operating officer of Connecticut company Wireless Zone, allegedly secretly provided the information to Detwiler for more than three years. In exchange, Detwiler paid Dunham $2,000 per month, for a total of approximately $61,000, according to a criminal complaint lodged in federal court.
"According to the complaint, Dunham was the source behind a controversial research note published by Detwiler analyst Jeff Johnston in April 2013. The note said that BlackBerry's Z10 smartphone, which was new at the time, was being returned to stores by customers at an unusually high rate. BlackBerry's stock price fell more than 7 percent in one day following the publishing of the note"
The report doesn't name any companies, but The Boston Business Journal has been able to identify the companies by comparing information in the complaint with publicly available financial records.

Amy Schumer is one of the biggest names in comedy right now, so it comes as no surprise that she managed to team up with Judd Apatow. Apatow's been responsible for helping boost the careers of some of the biggest names in comedy today, including Steve Carell and Seth Rogen. Now he's directing Schumer in Trainwreck and, despite being written by Schumer herself, this still has all the trademarks of a Judd Apatow film. It's too long and the laughs start to disappear in the film's second half, but when Schumer writes a joke, it almost always sticks the landing. There are some great character moments here and the relationship between the two leads is incredibly sweet. It's just a shame that the film's second half replaces humor with predictable romantic clichés.
Amy (Amy Schumer) is a 30-something New York journalist who currently works for a sleazy men's magazine. Her father (Colin Quinn) was never able to make his marriage work and he has influenced Amy to abandon a life of monogamy. She sleeps around with as many guys as she can, drinks a lot, smokes pot and is essentially the opposite of her married sister, Kim (Brie Larson). Amy's latest piece is an interview with Aaron Connors (Bill Hader), a celebrated sports doctor. The two instantly take a liking to each other, which directly goes against Amy's stance on marriage and long-term relationships. Does she really like this guy enough to change her ways?
Amy's character is clearly somewhat of a representation of Schumer herself and this gives the more emotional moments in the film a feeling of dramatic sincerity. Admittedly, most of the dramatic moments in the film's second half are fine, but they just can't live up to the fun hilarity that the film starts out as. It also doesn't help that Amy and Aaron's relationship, while sweet, is on a completely predictable romantic movie trajectory. But while the story is nothing you haven't seen before, it's ultimately the performances and the humor that save the film. Schumer's script is filled with dialogue driven humor and watching these funny conversations play out is a joy to watch. Every member of the cast has at least one standout moment, but it's ultimately Schumer and Hader that bring the majority of the heart and humor to the proceedings. Both of their characters are funny, but they always feel like genuine people and not over-the-top comedic stereotypes. We're able to care about their relationship because of this, even when the plot of the film falls into familiar territory. Trainwreck might be nothing more than a typical romantic comedy, but at least it's a typical romantic comedy done very well.
Trainwreck receives 3/4

If you were given the opportunity to make one major change in the world, what would it be? If I could make one change, I would change attitudes. If their was more positivity, there would be more LOVE, determination, hope, and courage. It's easy to get weighed down in this crazy world, and we forget what our potential is. Just think, if everyone believed in themselves, and cared about how their neighbor was doing...THIS WORLD WOULD BE AMAZING!

Q. Does The Organic Make-up Company have any organic makeup that doesn't have oil in it?
A. This question is one that we get all the time, because of the prevalent belief that oil-containing products promote oil production on the skin and lead to break outs. This is true of petro-based oils like mineral oil, paraffin waxes, etc. These oils block pores, which lead to break outs, but plant oils and waxes do not have the same effect. They are dry oils and actually cause the oil glands to slow down production of the skin's oil because it senses that it is well lubricated. We do not see the same result in the application of petro oils.

Fishers' Town Council is convening a special meeting next week to hear what residents think of a proposal to raise the food-and-beverage tax by 1 percent.
A public hearing is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Town Hall. It is the only item on the agenda.
Councilors won't vote until next month.
Legislators authorized the tax hike this year, with certain restrictions: Officials must decide whether to proceed by Dec. 31, and any revenue from the increase can only be used to fund economic development or lower the town's tax levy.
A 1-percent increase is expected to generate about $1 million a year.
Town Council member (and mayoral candidate) Renee Cox already has said she does not support the proposal, emailing a statement Monday saying she opposes "any new tax that adds to the burden of small businesses ... and Fishers families."
"Taxing should not be a fiscal conservatives' solution," she wrote. "I strongly support economic development and believe there is a better way to fund it."
Fishers Chamber of Commerce Chairwoman Kelly Marburger Novak, meanwhile, sent the council a letter expressing the chamber board's support for the proposal.
"The Fishers Chamber places economic development as a top priority and we believe that our town needs to continue to grow in order to maintain our superior quality of life," she wrote.
The increase shouldn't put Fishers restaurants at a competitive disadvantage, she said, since other communities in Hamilton County have collected the additional 1 percent for years.
Hamilton County was one of the six counties surrounding Indianapolis that approved a 1-percent food-and-beverage tax eight years ago to help build Lucas Oil Stadium. Counties keep half the revenue and transfer the rest to Marion County's Capital Improvement Board, which owns the stadium.
At the time, individual communities were given the option of instituting an additional 1-percent tax for their own use. Officials in Carmel, Noblesville and Westfield seized the opportunity, but Fishers decided not to participate.
Town Council President John Weingardt said no decision will be made without plenty of community feedback. A second public hearing is scheduled during the council's regular meeting Nov. 18.

Area teens receive Thumb Cellular scholarships
This program, known as "Dress Up Day," started in 2002, with employees of Thumb Cellular dressing up one day a month, in exchange for the company donating this money for the scholarships.
"This is an opportunity for our staff to wear more formal apparel," said Paul Picklo, general manager of Thumb Cellular. "It's done as a reminder that we need to remain professional not only in our attitude but in our dress."
This year's recipients were Carrie Pichla, Ubly High School; Tiffany Hooper, Deckerville High School; and Kendra Patton, Caro High School. Each student was presented with a $500 scholarship at his/her school's year-end awards ceremony.
"We had many excellent applicants and it's an excellent opportunity for Thumb Cellular staff to see the quality of students going on to higher education from our area," Picklo said.
Each student submits a one-page essay on "Communication in the workplace and everyday life."
A committee of Thumb Cellular employees reviews each essay and selects the scholarship winners.

The West Indies are in NZ to play cricket. Funny, the Captain of the "Windies" is Chris Gayle.
Summer is all about cricket, beaches, bar-b-ques and a glass of nice chilled wine.
When it comes to stunning value we knock the competition for six.
Opening today is the "in form" SELAKS Premium Chardonnay. This wine has been hitting the boundary over and over and the crowd loves it. Now's not the time for a convenience break as it is coming to the end of its innings. Only $8.99 per bottle.
Partnering is the quality newcomer, LAMMASTIDE MARLBOROUGH Sauvignon Blanc. Showing class and style, this is truly a Sauvignon Blanc to watch. A wine that will definitely stay at the crease and score a century. $14.99 per bottle is simply an outstanding price.
Certain to bowl over the opposition is LAMMASTIDE Sauvignon Blanc big brother – LAMMASTIDE MARTINBOROUGH Pinot Noir. This burly wine sends them down like a meteor through space. Strewth, others just quiver in their spikes. At $19.99 per bottle you'll find it hard to find better for less.
How's that!

I continue to be amazed by the intentionality of the summer long Eco-Steward interns (shown here with other members of the week long Eco-Steward program in May 2010) and the blogs they are keeping about the ministry they are encountering.
Here is another post. You can follow for yourself at http://ecostewardsprogram.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/caring-for-gods-people-earth-education-at-kanawha-united-presbyterian/
Caring for God's People & Earth: Education at Kanawha United Presbyterian Chris Rogillio's children grew up when the "reduce, reuse, and recycle" lessons were being taught in schools. Her children brought these lessons home with them and they interacted with Rogilio's faith background, especially those scriptures about creation, scriptures that had always been dear to her. Although, she remarks, those scriptures are "easier to read than to put in place, because it takes effort." Rogillio makes that effort. She is the Director of Christian Education at Kanawha United Presbyterian Church (USA) in Charleston, WV. This congregation makes an effort to be good stewards of creation. Recently they installed an energy-efficient water heater; they have purchased kitchenware instead of continuing to use disposable plates and cups; they recycle paper; the children collect aluminum tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House; and they replaced the many windows in their education center with stationary, double-pane windows for heating and cooling efficiency. The people at Kanawha United do what they can with what they have, which is all anyone can do. Rigillio helped organize two different camp groups last year to focus on social and eco-justice. The camps and the responses from the children inspired Rigillio. She decided to do programs on what she calls "a different bent" with the children at Kanawha United. So this past fall (2009), Rogillio combined the church year and Sunday school with ecology and social justice. She used her gifts and passions to write two curricula each for her elementary and middle school age Sunday school classes–four different programs in all. The first was on God's creation and the next on creation in the Psalms. Both curricula were about "God's creating, … our part in it, and how everything has a part," as she describes it. "We tried to stay away from the things they get at school all the time," Rogillio says. She told me they are already taught about reducing, reusing, and recycling, so in Sunday school, she had them look at the seeds and roots of plants and our faith. The curriculum "blend[s] our faith journeys into how God has planned creation," notes Rogillio.

Meghan McCain, MSNBC's newly hired contributor, conducted her first interview for the cable news network on Wednesday with Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.
McCain--who in January called Bachmann "a poor man's Sarah Palin" on MSNBC--said that the interview will air "soon" on "Now With Alex Wagner," the network's lunch hour show.
On Lawrence O'Donnell's "Last Word" in January, McCain took vigorous issue with Bachmann's tea-party rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union. "I think it's important to note that Michele Bachmann is not a leader, and she's not the leader of the Repbulican Party," McCain said. "Michele Bachmann is no better than a poor man's Sarah Palin.
"I think CNN should be ashamed of themselves for airing this," McCain added. "It is one rogue woman who couldn't even look into the camera directly."
While McCain's harsh comments about Bachmann had the potential to make the interview uncomfortable, the sit-down with a high-profile GOP candidate could be designed to help quiet critics who say McCain is not a "real journalist."
Last month, MSNBC named McCain as a paid contributor shortly before NBC News announced the hiring of Chelsea Clinton.
Earlier this week, John McCain told Fox Business that, in joining MSNBC, his daughter "went over to the dark side."
"She's feisty," the former presidential nominee added. "Being over there she is going to have to have quite a bit of that."

Hi everyone,
I live in Hyde Park, Ma which is a small town located within Boston, decorated with small shops and restaurants. I am having a hard time deciding whether to shoot my small town, or take on the bigger city so I am listing 5 locations instead of 3. I will dial it down once I come to a decision.
1. Fanueil Hall - Is actually four great places wrapped in one (Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market). MLK day is on Monday and I want to capture the nice events set at the promenade.
2. Financial District - Mainly looking for the Old state house and some amazing lookups here.
3. North End - Is home to some of the best bakeries and Italian restaurants in Boston. I will be looking to capture shots of some of the well known food spots.
4. Blue Hills (Hyde Park) - Is home to one of the most gorgeous views in Boston. I will be looking for some great wildlife/nature shots and the awesome view of the cityscape.
5. Cleary Square (Hyde Park) - Is home to tons of small shops and restaurants rich with history. I will be looking for shots that capture the charm of these small business. Images looking into the establishment from outside using of a window or door,
I was planning to shoot all of the places on my list this weekend, but I ended up working doubles this whole weekend and couldn't get around to it so I had to change my strategy. Boston is a very beautiful and history rich city and I wanted to capture that with this project, but also show it in a different light. As I was walking around, I noticed that some of the older architecture looks a little scary and some of the original doors and windows on these buildings look like portals to another place entirely. I decided to take that idea and capture some of the cool buildings in Boston. but with a dark scary focus. Hope you guys like it!

Pet Portrait:
This my little brother's dog Missy. It was super tough getting her to stay put long enough for a decent photo but I guess with enough treats, anything is possible. I shot this indoors with recessed lighting as my main source. it has been getting dark very early on during these winter months, other wise I would have loved to shoot outside.
Camera Settings:
f-stop: 4.5
Lens: 36mm (18 - 55)
Shutter: 1/20
Canon Rebel T5
Out of the camera:
Post Process:
This is my first time ever shooting with a DSLR and I had the audacity to shoot in manual mode, which is why I don't think I got it right in the camera. But after watching your video on Lightroom and editing the image a bit, I think it came out pretty great (also first time in Lr).
I was having a hard time understanding why I had to bump my ISO so high in order to get my exposure correct, while I was using such a slow shutter speed. Any help with that would be much appreciated.


text: I am scheduled to take delivery on Dec 30. When will my car leave Cali and how does it get here? Via freight train? Via truck? And will I see on My Tesla when it is out of the production queue? What about the iOS app? I download it a few weeks ago but it says "No Vehicles Linked to This My Tesla Account. Your vehicle may not be ready." Will this change when my car is first charged up or does this not change until I take delivery?

Meditation is the most critically important skill anybody can learn.
Meditation can improve every single area of your life. It steadily develops your mind and calms your emotions, and ultimately allows you to transcend your ego and experience pure ecstasy. Meditation—or, as it is properly and classically known, raja yoga—is a step-by-step science that predates civilization, and can take us to the stars.
But it's not as easy to learn as you might think. The "meditation" and "yoga" that are sold in the open market are, frankly, watered-down or even fantasy versions of the true raja yoga. Out in the wild you'll find guided YouTube meditations, positive affirmations, the persistent corporate con of "mindfulness," all kinds of subpar techniques. You'll also find the $27 billion yoga industry, which is great but generally only teaches hatha yoga, which isn't even real yoga—it's just a preliminary series of stretches designed to relax your body so that you can begin to meditate properly. All of this can not only delude and confuse you by presenting half-truths or even lies, it can also drain your wallet and, more importantly, precious years of your life that could have been spent making real progress.
Far above and beyond these half-techniques lie the eight limbs of raja yoga, the Vedic science of controlling the body, breath and mind, progressing to awakening the subtle energy currents in the body and ultimately extinguishing the individual ego in silent bliss. It's the direct road to spiritual awakening—far more potent, if less glamorous, than magick. It's not for the lazy—it requires tremendous willpower—but the payoff is the greatest possible reward within a human life.
Plus, with some practice, you'll be able to get high whenever you like, without drugs, for free, forever.
In this five-hour class, we'll cover the eight limbs of raja yoga step by step. The course material is divided into simple sections that you can watch at your own pace, in whatever way works best for you. We'll cover:
1. Yama: How to structure your life so thay you can meditate daily
2. Niyama: How to keep drama out of your life so that your meditation isn't disturbed
3. Asana: Physical postures for meditation
4. Pranayama: Breathing techniques for stilling the mind and body and producing neurosomatic rapture
5. Pratyahara: Withdrawing the senses from the external world
6. Dharana: Concentrating the power of the mind into focused awareness
7. Dhyana: Achieving single-pointed concentration
8. Samadhi: Union, the Ultimate Goal of Yoga.
You'll get a solid grounding in the true theory and practice of meditation. One caveat: I'm not a guru, I'm only a teacher. To make serious progress after learning the basics, you will likely have to make contact with people who have actually become enlightened through meditation (try here and here) and who are able to guide students long term. But start with this class, and you'll be well on your way to walking the true, eternal, undying road of yoga.

"This was very helpful and straight to the point. I've been on my own meditation path for the past year and this realigned me with my intention." – Autumn
"I have been very impressed not only by the quality of the two courses I have taken, but also by the mannerisms of the instructor himself. Jason Louv is perhaps the most humble and polite occult figure of this century. The depth he goes into on each topic, maintains a feeling of 'keeping it real', which is just another way of saying that he remains cool and casual while showing us how to rewrite the universe in our own image. Classes are enjoyable, educational and they seem to be just the appropriate length to assault your mind, give it time to recover and digest enough of it to excite you into diving headfirst into the next one." – Gord D.
