Man wanted in slaying surrenders at TV station
Man wanted in slaying surrenders at TV station
LEXINGTON, Ky. —
A man wanted by police in the slaying of a Lexington man appeared at a television station to turn himself in to authorities.
Brandon Lamont Bailey went to WLEX's studios at around 10 a.m. Monday, saying he wanted to turn himself in to police, the TV station reported.
Bailey was wanted by police for the shooting death of 22-year-old Anthony Logan, who was killed Dec. 1 outside a Lexington apartment. Police say 28-year-old Bailey shot Logan after the two were involved in a fight.
Bailey said he was planning to flee to Louisiana but family members convinced him to turn himself in because he claims he shot Logan in self-defense.
Police were called to the TV station shortly after Bailey arrived.

New Member. I married a Born Again
New Member. I married a Born Again
Hello TTA and members,
I have watched all the TTA videos and must say you do a wonderful job. I look forward to many more podcasts in the near future. My favorite episode is when you had Darkmatter2525, BionicGirl and Evid3nc3 on. Keep up the great work!
I am currently going through a divorce with my wife that i have been married to for almost 1 year now. We dated for a short period of time (6 months) and knew of her Born Again Christian family. When we first dated she was a wreck. She lost her faith in God after her mental breakdown from her first marriage of 12 years to another born again that abused her mentally and physically. She knew of me having Atheistic views, etc. We often, sometimes, disagreed, but that never interferred with our true love for each other. She was a confused alcoholic as first, i helped her to stop drinking and become a better person in life. She was a free being after a couple months of us dating. It was a night and day difference. Than i found out her parents, which are pastors of their church, started preaching to her that she's walking the wrong path with satan (me). They were degrading me and her all the time. Her parents never got a chance to know who i was as a person. They stamped me being a Atheist. I try to stand up for her as she was always brainwashed never to disrespect her parents... ever! She basically got caught in the middle and that guilt eventually broke her down again. I decided to tell my story on Youtube. It's not complete but there are 5-6 parts so far. I am looking for answers why she is like this, confused when i know she loved me so much, told me i was the only one who cared for her and her feelings. Please feel free to ask questions or post replies here. Thanks for veiwing and look forward to many discussion on TTA forums.
PS You can search for me by Livelife8072 on Youtube to hear my story.
RE: New Member. I married a Born Again
It's really hard for people to accept giving up their parents sometimes. I still willingly allow my dad to fuck up my life with his belief that I'm male and look silly in girls clothes. If she is this important to you, then maybe you'll keep trying (I would). It's very hard to convince people with strong beliefs that you aren't temptation when you disagree with their beliefs. Sorry things aren't going so well for your relationship, but if you do continue this will likely continue being a cycle. Born agains are either people who lose faith when they get comfortable and retreat to faith when things get hard, or people who lose faith when things are impossible and find faith again when things get better.
Hope things turn out well for you and welcome to the forum.
I'm not a non believer, I believe in the possibility of anything. I just don't let the actuality of something be determined by a 3rd party.
RE: New Member. I married a Born Again
Sorry to hear about what's happened to you, LiveLife. But we're glad to have you here with us.
On another note, TTA doesn't actually post on this forum. He's kind enough to give it to us to use as a meeting place and a kind of support circle for everyone here who's going through things like you, but he doesn't actually read or post anything on here.
"Owl," said Rabbit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest - and when I say thinking I mean thinking - you and I must do it."

RE: New Member. I married a Born Again
Thanks for the reply. I had the same feelings like you stated. She was born into Christianity. Her parents were converted 40 years ago. It really is a shame my wife was brought up not to think on her own. I believe she would of been a whole different person in life.
Oh ok thanks for the heads up. Seems like a great forum and look forward browsing it. Thanks for having me.

RE: New Member. I married a Born Again
For a person to move into a knew way of thinking requires stepping outside one's comfort zone. This feels strange and is very scary. Even if the change is for the good and is exactly what they want, many will fall back into old ways rather than endure the discomfort of reprogramming the brain, especially when their efforts are being undermined by those that are close to them and have influence over them.
Also, she lost her faith in god after a mental breakdown. This isn't a conversion to atheism. It is a loss of faith. Losing faith doesn't mean losing belief, it means losing trust in something one still believes in. Atheism is the lack of belief.
I hope this is helpful. I know how painful a break-up can be.
When I find myself in times of trouble, Richard Dawkins comes to me, speaking words of reason, now I see, now I see.
RE: New Member. I married a Born Again
just wow.. being abused by her previous husband and her parents didnt even help her ? that's terrible, and how can she still believe in god after all the things she went through ?
her parents just dont care, religion is more important than their daughters well-being.. its so sad to see parents out there like that..
RE: New Member. I married a Born Again
Ya I feel the same way. Can't believe she went back. Also I never wanted her to be a atheist. Just for her to do her own research to figure the way she wants to live life. Her pastor parents had a huge doing on her going back to church and being a pastor again. They put so much guilt and fear in her she probably had no choice. She couldn't do that being married to an atheist i guess. Ya my story would be a great movie probably. Lol amazing marriage. Can't wait for all my videos to be done. It's actually a release for me to do these videos.

What if we treated life like we do sports?
Jess Shut Up
Sports has been a major part of my life as long as I can remember. My first memory of sports is playing Little League Baseball. My first team was Birds' Auto Body. Back then, instead of a tee, your coach pitched underhand to you.
Bob Riley was our coach then, and we had an undefeated season. I remember Rob Williams, Shawn Garvin, John Kelly, and Willie Moore being on the team. The hook was set and I played many more years of baseball after that. Basketball, football, volleyball and softball were all added in on occasions. Sports were set as a part of my life.
In football, the Kansas City Chiefs have been my favorite from way back. I can't remember why they are my favorite team. I might have just seen them on TV once and liked the uniform or saw them beat someone. I started rooting for them and, as all fanatic fans do, you start getting to know the players on your team.
Back then, that meant football and baseball cards. We watched the games and read the back of our cards. I still have boxes and boxes in the basement and have the special ones in plastic sheets in a notebook.
Derrick Thomas was my favorite player growing up and well into my adulthood. When he died in a car crash in his prime, it crushed me. I never met the man face to face but it hurt like a family member had been stolen away from me. I had watched him sack Dave Krieg of the Seahawks seven times in one game, I had watched him lose the AFC Championship two years in a row, I watched him honor his dad, a veteran, at a game he dedicated to him. I felt like he was a friend of the family.
Sounds kind of silly to be talking about someone you never really met, just watched every Sunday on the TV, like he lived next door. But I think that is how a lot of us then felt about our sports heroes. Today I can't think of any player I feel the same about, and I doubt I ever will.
As I got older, my sports awareness expanded a lot when I met and fell in love with Karrie. Her family was deeply embedded in the Purple and Gold of UW and I quickly joined in. Football games at Husky Stadium are an experience that any sports fan would love. The atmosphere is energetic and addicting. It gives you a whole new reason to cheer for your team. Because you become part of the team. Tailgating and the people around you create a brotherhood of fellow fans that hang their heart on every play with you. Once again a family scenario plays out.
Our son is now getting ready to wrap up his high school career, just as his sister did a few years ago. We have followed him through little guy wrestling, middle school sports, football and wrestling at Lake Roosevelt and now his senior year at ACH. I can see those same qualities of family growing in him as he roots for his teammates and they root for him.
It's not just teammates either. Other wrestlers from other teams have become followers, and as we cheer for them, they cheer for us. It's one big family reunion when we all gather together at the Tacoma Dome for state wrestling. And it is like that for all sports, I am guessing.
Sports are a big deal for our children and for us. There is the completion, team work, learning to lose, and learning to win. There is sportsmanship, and heartbreak. There are the accomplishments of reaching your goal, and there are even the setbacks of an injury or loss. It teaches us to go beyond ourselves, to adapt and overcome the obstacle in front of you.
Coaches, officials, fans and players are all parts of this big learning environment that we place ourselves in and try to become better than we were when we started. Once the seed is planted it never goes away. We may get to old or unable to participate the way we once did. Or we may lose a hero or two along the way, but we continue to cheer and root for the ones that are going out and giving 100 percent of themselves. All of a sudden, I am not sure I am talking about sports anymore. Maybe we should apply more of this to our everyday lives, too. I'm just saying.
Let's say we cheered on the paper boy, (do we even have those anymore?) like we cheered on our team. Or we celebrated our neighbor's new job like we celebrated a last minute shot for a win. Or we dropped all to go to the nursing home like we drop everything to watch the Super Bowl (commercials). We could get involved with council meetings or volunteer groups and go all out. We support each other like we support our teams. What would that look like?

We have reached that point in the hay-marketing year where buyers are chasing an increasingly small supply. They are being forced to pay historically high prices to feed their critters. If you have ruminants who like to eat hay, they don't suddenly go on a diet when your feed supply runs out a month before new stuff is available from the field.
Last week rolled around with demand still not quenched. The problem was that I didn't have any full semi loads to send to the auction. My regular trucker — Billy — has a trailer that holds 23 round bales. He charges me about $150 to haul them 18 miles from my place to the auction. All I had left were 16 bales, though. Billy doesn't adjust his trucking rate for me or the buyer just because he's not carrying a full load. I had another option. I decided to haul the bales to the auction myself and have them unloaded onto the ground in the sale yard. Whoever bought them could then arrange trucking on their own.
For the first load of round bales, I was going to try a new route. It would take me from Ridgeway to Conover, and then back west toward Spillville before climbing a notoriously steep hill to come into Fort Atkinson from the northeast. Road conditions were free of ice and snow, so the slope didn't scare me. This would be simple.
I climbed the summit with my load of bales with no problem. Then I turned onto the next blacktop to take me to Highway 24. For some reason, I looked in my passenger-side mirror. My shadow looked a bit odd. Where there should be four curves to the shadow of my round bales on each side in my mirrors, there were only three on that side. I pulled to the side of the road to investigate. My straps were still quite secure. So were the four bales they were holding in place. However, one of the remaining four bales was missing. It was in the third position on the passenger side, right between two bales that were strapped in securely. If I'd had a full load, I would have had three more bales on top to anchor everything. If I had sent Billy with a small load, this would be his problem!
Did I mention that I always strap down my load? Yeah, well, I did this time, but it sure didn't look like it was effective. There was no place to turn around a load of bales, so I had to bite the bullet and drive into Fort Atkinson with a partial load. You can get by doing that if you start filling your load from the front and only get part way to the back. You don't look efficient, but that's the way it goes. If you leave a big gaping hole in the MIDDLE of your load, however, you are obviously a moron who drives like a maniac.
I pulled onto the scale at the co-op in Fort to weigh my load. The big gap in my bales lined up perfectly with the giant picture window at the scale. That meant the entire office staff could see my obvious problem. They did not let it go unmentioned, even though I'm not a regular customer there. No, I happened to pick the day when their nutritionist who handles the needs of a couple of hay customers of mine happened to be at the counter. It's so good to know everyone.
"Looks like you're not selling ALL your hay, huh, Jeff?"
Oh, a dual jab at both my marketing AND my driving! Gotta hand it to him on that one.
We got the paperwork handled for the scale ticket and I made my way to the auction yard. I was really looking for only one thing. Well, maybe two. I wanted yard manager Big Jim to be in the launch position to unload me in a hurry. You get that back bale off and all of a sudden your mistake disappears. My second wish would be that Billy would NOT be in the yard. I wanted him way the heck out in the country on some long-distance delivery.
I pulled around the corner of the warehouse and didn't see Big Jim. However, Billy was right in front of me, putting the straps on his load.
Let's just say he noticed the spatial relation of my load. As always, he addressed me as The Expert. He was enjoying it all a bit too much, I felt, but I was laughing right along with him. Billy's favorite part was the fact that I didn't know where my rogue bale was at the moment. Oh, I had a hunch, but not an actual location within a hundred yards. He and I decided that, given the current value of hay, my bale was more than likely at the bottom of a ditch somewhere, almost certainly irretrievable without a team of mules, a block and tackle, and maybe a crane. If it had landed on the road, somebody had probably stolen it by now. Billy figured it was worth almost exactly what it would have cost me to have him haul my load.
I headed back to the co-op to weigh empty and then made my way north and east again. As I turned onto the blacktop above the giant hill, I kept hoping this would end well for me. My bale would be resting comfortably along the side of the road, all by its lonesome. No crushed car would be underneath it and no trail of chaff would lead me from the roadway to its grave at the bottom of a very, very steep ditch where it would lie in a loose heap, its plastic mesh wrap in tatters and its resale value all but zero.
As I made my way down the hill, I saw my bale resting comfortably on the shoulder of the road. It was not even in the middle of traffic, and it was in perfect condition!!!
As good as that sounds, there was one small problem. You don't just grab a round bale by hand and toss it on the trailer. This wasn't just down the road from the home place where I could call staff and have them show up to rescue me in short order. This was about 14 miles from home. I quickly did some Rain Man MapQuest work and tried to figure out whose cell phone number I had programmed into my phone that would come out and help me in the shortest time. As luck would have it, I had just delivered a small load of round bales to my A.I. guy west of Spillville the previous night. He hadn't been around when I had arrived with his hay, so I drove his small John Deere loader tractor and unloaded the hay myself. I was practically a veteran with his machine.
A call was placed. He answered, and knowing my situation, he immediately agreed to let me use his tractor and loader to get myself out of this mess. Small problem. He was in Decorah and wouldn't be home for awhile. If I drove my truck to his farm to get his tractor, I'd have to drive the tractor back to his place with the bale on it. Had an accomplice been available, he could have driven the tractor and I would have driven the truck back to the scene of the crime. Then I could have loaded the bale and immediately delivered it to Fort. No muss, no fuss, no big deal.
But no accomplice, no quick solutions. It looked like I'd be spending some quality time on the road behind the wheel of a tiny little green machine with a giant green load on the front.
A good Boy Scout is always prepared. I only made it to the rank of Weebalo. A good Weebalo usually has some options. This Weebalo had his iPod with him. I hopped on the cabless tractor when I got to the farm west of Spillville, fired it up, dialed up an episode of The Bob & Tom Show, and headed out on a Hay Dude 9-1-1 call.
Did I mention that it wasn't a huge Deere tractor? Did I mention it WAS a huge Deere round bale? Not to get all Allen Ludden on you here, but "Not a match; the board goes back."
You can lift giant Deere round bales with a small Deere tractor. You can haul giant Deere round bales with a small Deere tractor. What you can't do is lift them and haul them at the same time flawlessly. The little Deere had to sort of psych itself up to lift the bale. As soon as I made its tiny little brain switch to transport mode, its wimpy little arms slowly decided to give up on the carrying idea. The bale began to sag as I drove. It was only three or four miles back to my truck, but it took a couple of stops along the way to let The Little Engine That Barely Could regain its composure and go for Olympic gold in the clean-and-jerk. The more the bale sagged, the more the plastic mesh wrap on it began to, um, dissipate. With weather on my side at all times, the wind was pretty much blowing all the chaff right back into my mouth.
I reached a critical juncture. It was at the stop sign in Spillville. I could take a left and climb the fairly steep hill and get back to the farm relatively unnoticed. I could take a right and have virtually dead-level terrain for the whole trip . . . right through the middle of town . . . where they have a lovely gazebo you get to drive around before you go past the bar, the bank, the church, the school and the Kolache Lady's house, in ascending order of importance in my world.
Climbing hills with bales and a lack of power didn't seem so appealing to me right then. I mean, really, how bad could a trip through downtown Spillville, over the noon hour, possibly be? There's nothing I like more than a crowd when I'm having a hay episode.
As I switched to promenade mode and made my way around the gazebo, I saw the only thing that could make this day perfect for me. There was some kind of event being held at the either the Catholic school or the Catholic church. It was wall-to-wall cars for several blocks, many drivers of which were climbing out of their cars, thereby narrowing up the roadway considerably . . . as I drove by . . . laughing it up to Bob & Tom on my iPod . . . with my giant bale obstructing my view . . . compounded by the ever-increasing chaff cloud from not being able to stop and reinvigorate The Little Engine That Barely Could.
Fortunately, there was one eyewitness missing as I made my way through town. I fully expected The Kolache Lady to be perched on her front steps, wagging her finger at me as I went by. She'd probably make sure all my mixed dozens in the future ran heavy to prune and light on the apricot, just to teach me a lesson.
I got back to the pickup, got my bale loaded and parked my Fisher Price tractor for a much-needed rest. I pulled up to the T-intersection to head west and go home through the boonies. My phone rang right as I pulled up to the intersection. It was Seed Guy. Guy No. 1 had called him to get some more seed. If I could get there right away, he'd get me loaded and we could keep planting without missing a beat. Yeah, well, that sounded good, except for one thing. I had just driven through Spillville on a tractor everyone in town recognized but as a driver hopefully no one recognized. The only way to get to Seed Guy's place was to drive right back through town . . . with my single, less-than-kosher bale prominently on display on my trailer.
No, really, I'm pretty sure I'da been totally anonymous if I didn't have to go through town again. I mean, what are the odds someone would recognize me? If they had, that kind of information pretty much stays to itself at gatherings in small towns.
Billy called me as soon as I got into Seed Guy's yard. I was amazed HE didn't tell ME exactly how everything had gone for me. He was probably checking to see if my version lined up with the version he'd already heard by then.

LWIF Wrap-up, or Last Week in Festool
With so many posts about new products from Festool bombarding this column last week, I thought it best to write one more to wrap-up the entries. And luckily for me, Festool delivered another product to get the ball rolling.
How about a classic designed systainer full of first aid supplies? At first you'll wonder what were they thinking, but take a minute and think this through. At $89 (yes it's $89) you get a host of first-aid goodies that may – just as you reach full-panic mode – calm your fears because you have whatever you need to make things right. Here's a list of what is included:
- 100 – 1" x 3" Adhesive plastic bandages
- 3 – Knuckle fabric bandages
- 3 – Fingertip fabric bandages, large
- 1 – 2" Conforming gauze roll bandage
- 1 – 40" Triangular sling/bandage, with 2 safety pins
- 6 – 3" x 3" Gauze dressing pads
- 1 – 5" x 9" Trauma pad
- 40 – Antiseptic cleansing wipes (sting free)
- 1 – First aid/burn cream pack, 0.9 g
- 1 – 4"x5" Instant cold compress
- 1 – 1/2" x 10 yd. First aid tape roll
- 1 – 4-1/2" Scissors, nickel plated
- 1 – 4" Tweezers, plastic, one time use
- 4 – Exam quality gloves, 2 pairs
- 1 – 4 fl oz squeezable bottle with eye wash solution
- 1 First Aid Guide
If you're still stuck on the $89, consider this: A Festool systainer has a retail value of $60 (according to the updated 2011 Master Price List). This special systainer sells for $66 and has a custom insert as well as a padded lid with foam moulding. That leaves just $22 for the first-aid supplies. I know if you add up the costs of the items included in the box, the total is less than $22. But there is another way to look at this.
This systainer is a one-time, limited-quantity item for Festool. Dare I say it could become a collector item? Additionally, the First-aid systainer fits to your other Festool systainers, including the new T-Loc systainers, so it would be close at hand in your shop, which is exactly where your first-aid supplies should be. And just to go "all in" with this line of thinking, the SYS 1 Systainer is clearly marked with the easy-to-identify red cross first aid latches. The kit's contents have been certified to be ANSI/OSHA compliant.
While you're mulling over the investment grade of the red cross systainer, here's a look back at the Festool posts last week, in case you missed any.

Crazies, The (US - BD)
Gabe revisits George Romero's original film just in time for the remake's release
Its code name is 'Trixie', an experimental government germ weapon that leaves its victims either dead or irreversibly insane. When the virus is accidentally unleashed in Evans City, Pennsylvania, the small community becomes a war zone of panicked military, desperate scientists and gentle neighbors turned homicidal maniacs. A small group of citizens, firefighters David (W.G. McMillan) and Clank (Harold Wayne Jones), and David's nurse girlfriend Judy (Lane Caroll), flee to the town's outskirts where they hide from trigger-happy, possibly Trixie effected soldiers. Meanwhile, Dr. Watts (Richard France), a key man in the development of Trixie is rushed to the town's high school science room to develop a cure.
The Crazies, released here on Blu-ray disc just in time to trick consumers on the look out for the theatrical remake, clearly sees writer/director George Romero prepping himself for the scope of his best film, Dawn of the Dead. Though not as moody or moving as Martin, arguably Romero's best non-zombie film (made between this film and that magnum opus), The Crazies (aka: Codename: Trixie) is a mostly effective thriller, with a lovely intimate streak. Romero's patented draconian sense of comic book irony cuts through what could've been a more classic exercise in suspense, but like all the writer/director's best films this one benefits from that arteur's touch. Romero's dueling worlds of documentarian immediacy and over-the-top, doom-baked plotting (which he would perfect with Dawn) really begin to take shape in an artistic sense here.
Not surprisingly the most memorable bits exist outside of the basic plot, when Romero takes time to capture hyper-reality, including warm character interactions that break up the relentless chase aspects, and genuinely shocking images of unsuspected madness. The scene were a grinning grandmother stabs a masked soldier to death with a knitting needle, then sits back down to re-roll her yarn ball is definitely the dominant and lasting image. The chaotic opening act scenes of unexpected terror and white-suited home invasion work so well the rest of the film suffers a sense of deflation. The developing paranoia concerning who is infected is pretty intense, but never quite matches the nail-biting terror of stuff like The Andromeda Strain (which had been released only a few years previous), even if Romero's R-rating affords him a more creeping disturbance, and controversial button-pushing (the incest scene approaches the more avant garde terror of the superior Martin).
Visually speaking one can see Romero learning to love his static camera and quick cutting mix that he'd perfect with Dawn of the Dead. Here he overdoes it a bit, overcutting simple talking scenes to a dizzying effect, but even when it doesn't work these choices are so very Romero-esque. Few filmmakers get this much kinetic momentum out of this many static shots (seriously, count the camera moves, there can't be more than a dozen in the whole film). The look dates the film a little more than it should, but the low budget origins make the less refined aspects more palatable. Romero also uses unprofessional actors (mostly to save money), which is another double-edged sword, though slightly duller than that of Dawn of the Dead, which depended more on the four leads. Sometimes these people feel entirely realistic, as if Romero's camera was actually there to tape a real event, but other times they overdo it and draw unwanted attention to their amateurism. At the very least the film stands apart from its monetary shortcomings (the estimated budget wiggles somewhere around $275,000), and fits nicely in the post-Vietnam world of 1970s American film.
The Crazies is far from the ideal candidate for Blu-ray treatment, but at this point fans have learned to expect the unexpected from Blue Underground. This transfer isn't very far removed from the company's DVD transfer, but cleans up some of the heavier grain and noise, and presents fuller, brighter colours. The detail levels aren't going to blow any minds, but the overall cleanliness is definitely impressive. The fullness of the reds, the depth and sharpness of the blacks, and natural quality of the skin tones are the transfer biggest pluses. There is plenty of grain in the mix, and small artefacts flicker throughout the entirety of the print, but digital compression is all but absent. There's zero edge-enhancement, and blocking really only rears its head during the poppiest warm hues. Some of the interiors are a bit yellowed, and some of the really dark outdoor shots are a bit blurry, but there's a relative continuity to the image, including the overall depth of field, excepting some really grimy looking stock footage shots. The outdoor daylight scenes are occasionally close to perfect, revealing deeper focus details, and wonderfully contrasting brown fall grounds and rich, blue skies. Romero himself makes mention of a few of Blue Underground's digital clean-ups (pertaining to the DVD release), positively pointing to some darkened day for night skies.
Blue Underground, surprisingly enough, does not presents The Crazies in the form of a usual 5.1 upgrade. The original soundtrack was monorual, and the disc's producers keep this DTS-HD track centered. The sound is relatively thin and tinny overall, which is clearly the fault of the original tracks. Romero is a great storyteller and visualist, but his use of sound has always been comparatively subpar. The shortcomings are mostly acceptable based on the film's tone, which depends on a lot of chaotic image grabbing, but when giving specific attention to the track for the sake of review the problems are pretty apparent. There isn't any distortion on the higher volume bits, but they tend to be pretty shrill (there's a lot of yelling), and there's certainly a bit of echo on the most prevalent dialogue and sound effects. The shootout scenes are stylistically pretty strange, as every gun shot sounds relatively identical, but on the film's terms it works. Just try to not be disappointed with the relative lack of LFE presence. The music is another less than effective element, which defines Romero's weakness with audio design. Like Night of the Living Dead almost all the score here is catalogue music, which fits the tone of a scene, but creates a disconnect, and makes the whole mix sound more like a temp track than I'm thinking Romero intended (the man does complain a few times about his own musical choices during the commentary track).
Once again, Blue Underground doesn't go out of their way to create any new extras, but does include everything that was available on the old DVD release. Things start with a uniformly fantastic commentary track from Romero, supported by Blue Underground boss and Maniac director Bill Lustig. Romero has enough stories to keep things moderately entertaining and informative, and Lustig's added input and questioning pushes it right over the edge into greatness. The track acts not only to describe the making of this particular film, but fills in other sections of Romero's filmography, specifically the time between Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, and acts a pretty good lesson in low-budget filmmaking. There are a few blank spots, and Romero whines a little too often about the state of modern film, but on the whole this is a really standout commentary.
'The Cult Film Legacy of Lynn Lowry' (14:00, SD) is the disc's only featurette. Actress Sara Lynn Lowry, who appears in The Crazies as Kathy, runs down her brief and entertaining little cult career, including footage and stories from The Battle of Love's Return, I Drink Your Blood (a must see early gore opus), Sugar Cookies, Score, Cronenberg's Shivers, and of course, The Crazies. Personally I could do with a feature length doc on the subject. Things are wrapped up with two trailers and two TV spots.
The Crazies isn't one of George Romeo's elite films, but it's stylistically pretty incredible, featuring enough creative breakthroughs to make it a must see for fans of Dawn of the Dead, which certainly reaped a lot of what Romero sowed here. The ending is a great downer. Hopefully the remake will pick up on the more emotionally disturbing aspect rather than going for a series of physical horror shocks. Blue Underground does a characteristically great job with this high definition transfer, and they do what they can with the thin and flat mono audio. The extras feature nothing new, but the director's commentary is pretty wonderful, regardless of previous availability. Early word seems to say the upcoming remake has very little in common, but give the original a pre-theater stop go anyway, just for the hell of it.

Brian Schmetzer's side have made the most of a three-game home stand to win the Cascadia Cup with a victory over arch-rivals Portland Timbers on Wednesday before seeing off another in-form club in Puerto Rico Islanders on Saturday. It was Colin Clarke's Islanders that started the weekend by claiming a creditable 1-1 draw at USL-1 champions Vancouver Whitecaps on Thursday night. Fabrice Noel gave Puerto Rico the lead with a fine strike, but substitute Alfredo Valente earned the Whitecaps a share of the spoils with his first goal of the season. The USL-1's two expansion sides met at in Cary, North Carolina, on Friday evening, with Carolina RailHawks snapping an eight-game winless streak after a 2-0 win over California Victory. Former Whitecaps striker Joel Bailey scored the winner in his first start for the RailHawks following his move from Vancouver late last month. There were three games on Saturday, with Atlanta Silverbacks claiming a 2-1 Southern Derby Cup victory over Charleston Battery at the RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium. Last-place Minnesota Thunder recorded the surprise result of the weekend by earning a 1-1 draw against a Portland Timbers side that have not won in their last four games. That allowed Seattle to leapfrog Portland and move into top spot in USL-1 following a 1-0 victory over Puerto Rico at Qwest Field. Roger Levesque struck the winner five minutes before halftime. The lone game on Sunday saw a new-look Montreal Impact build on Wednesday's 4-1 win over Carolina with a 1-0 home success over Rochester Raging Rhinos. Former Whitecaps striker Joey Gjertsen earned his third assist since moving to Montreal, as he set up strike partner Charles Gbeke's winner on a beautiful day for soccer at the Claude Robillard Sports Complex.

Most of the foils for kitesurfing has an anhedral cant on the wings. Why is that ? I know it makes the foil roll better, which we use for going upwind - but I can see that the moth foils tend to be straight and they also roll the foil while going upwind.
Has anybody tried straight or dihedral angles of the wings? What did it do ?

(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs downgraded Internet holding company IAC/InterActive Corp to "sell" from "neutral" on increasing competition in the search business.
The company's shares fell as much as 10 percent to $42.56 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday morning.
Goldman said IAC is facing rising competition from AOL Inc and Demand Media Inc, which compete with IAC's business of buying search ads directing users to similar search result pages on Ask.com.
The brokerage expects higher competition to hurt IAC's revenue and margins. It cut its price target on the stock to $42 from $53.
Goldman also said the recent changes to Internet search giant Google Inc's policies could hurt IAC's search business.
The European Union gave Google four months in October to make changes to its policy, including better informing users on how data will be used, and setting precise periods for data to be retained.
Google said in January it was simplifying its privacy policy, consolidating 60 guidelines into a single one that would apply for all its services, including YouTube, Gmail and the Google+ social network.
The company also said it would pool data it collects on individual users across its services, allowing it to better tailor search results and improve service. Users cannot opt out of the new policy if they want to keep using Google's services.
"With recent changes to Google policies, we believe the risk of additional restriction around search redirection and arbitrage programs is rising," analyst Heath Terry wrote in a note.

Three former ministers who left the Government in last week's reshuffle have been given knighthoods, while veteran Kenneth Clarke - who quit the front benches after 40 years - has been made a Companion of Honour.
Alan Duncan, who resigned as International Development Minister, and Hugh Robertson, who quit the Foreign Office, are set to be knighted, as is Oliver Heald, who was sacked as Solicitor General.
News of the honours leaked out last week, when Labour's Michael Dugher accused Prime Minister David Cameron of undermining the system by using "hush-hush honours and gongs as golden goodbyes".
Mr Cameron was challenged in the Commons on Wednesday by Labour MP Jonathan Reynolds, who asked why he had now "given more knighthoods to the men he has sacked than he has given Cabinet jobs to women".
The PM retorted that it was "always interesting to take a lecture from a party that gave a knighthood to (former RBS boss) Fred Goodwin".
And he added: "I make no apology for saying that I think in public life we should recognise public service, people who have worked hard, people who have contributed to our nation, contributed to our Government. I think that is a good thing to do."
Founded by George V in 1917, the Order of the Companions of Honour rewards recognised services of national importance and is sometimes regarded as the junior order to the Order of Merit. The Order is made up of the sovereign, plus no more than 65 members, who may use the letters CH after their names.

For years, California has been a campaign fundraising ATM for presidents of both major political parties.
For years, California has been a campaign fundraising ATM for presidents of both major political parties.
Democrats know they have California and its estimated 55 electoral votes virtually wrapped up every four years. Republicans know there's not much they can do about it.
So when presidents, such as Barack Obama or George W. Bush, do pay attention to California, it's often not to solve our myriad problems. It's for fly-in, thousand-buck-a-plate fundraisers.
When President Obama last year talked about creating 20 "Promise Zones" for troubled American cities, Stockton seemed like the absolute blueprint for what he was trying to accomplish.
Overcoming bankruptcy. Fighting poverty. High crime. Housing market meltdown. We needed help - and presidential help would have been great.
The White House rolled out the initial five selections for Promise Zones. Stockton was not on it.
There are more to come. Suffice to say, we're not confident Stockton will make Obama's cut.
"I know the congressman is very disappointed and upset," said Nicole Alioto, chief of staff for Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton. "He's asked the president to visit Stockton and see the need. And that hasn't happened."
There's still time, Mr. President. And the need is still very apparent.
Thumbs down
Never has it felt quite so good to fall out of a top 10 ranking.
San Joaquin County foreclosures dropped dramatically in 2013, with filings falling to only 1 in 60 housing units, placing 25th among large United States metropolitan areas.
There are many cities, so that still is a relatively high ranking.
But not for a county that has been at or near the No. 1 spot every year since 2006, when the housing bubble did more than burst - it went "splat."
"Stockton is no longer one of the epicenters of the foreclosure crisis," said Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac, which tracks the numbers. "That certainly is a significant shift for a market that seemed it was perpetually being hit hard by the foreclosure crisis."
That bodes well for the future housing market - and home prices - but is far from a clean bill of health. Improvement must continue.
Thumbs up
If Operation Ceasefire is going to work, it will take crucial traits: frequency and follow through.
The multiagency crime-fighting operation was at it again, swooping in on documented gang members, making arrests and spreading the word to gangs that more action is coming.
The program targets Stockton's most dangerous offenders, who police say cause most of the violent crime.
"They were given a very direct message," said Officer Joe Silva, a Stockton Police Department spokesman. "Stop the violence. Put down the guns and stop shooting. If you don't do this, you are going to be part of a large enforcement mission like we saw here today."
Thumbs up
Robberies of any sort are troubling, and a new trend definitely qualifies.
Police report seven robberies or burglaries of pharmacies in Stockton since May 20.
The main target of thieves is cough syrup.
They're looking for the ingredient promethazine with codeine, a syrup that commands four-figure payments per pint on the street, because it can be mixed to make a concoction called "Purple Drank."
The drink has the effects of some drugs, creating a woozy feeling and a "high."
So far, robbers have been hitting smaller pharmacies and have avoided the chain stores prominent at many key intersections in Stockton.
Thumbs down
AgVenture continues to be a great way for area schoolchildren to learn about how the food on their plates gets there.
More than 3,000 third-graders from area school districts took part in AgVenture at the San Joaquin County fairgrounds last week.
The idea was to give children a look at the process of planting, growing and harvesting the crops, with a side dish of information on nutrition.
It's a very good program.

It's indeed an honor--a sweet one.
Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, was recently inducted into the California Floriculture Hall of Fame at a ceremony in San Diego.
Mike Mellano Sr., of Mellano & Company, Oceanside, presented Parrella with the plaque. Mellano was himself inducted into the California Floriculture Hall of Fame in 1990.
"I've known Mike since he came to California in the early '80s," Mellano said. "He first began working with us on the leafminer and chrysanthemum project, and has been doing a lot of work for the growers."
"He is a world-class scientist and has done a lot for the industry," Mellano said, adding "My only regret is that we weren't able to get more funding for him."
The award, sponsored by the Kee Kitayama Research Foundation, was presented at the Society of American Florists' Pests and Production Management Conference. The plaque reads: "In recognition of innovative and selfless contribution of enduring value to the Floriculutre and Ornamental Industry, the Kee Kitayama Research Foundation hereby inducts Dr. Michael P. Parrella into the California Floriculture Hall of Fame, February 25, 2011."
Parrella, who holds a joint appointment in the Department of Plant Sciences, develops integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for ornamental crops, with an emphasis on biological control. He is widely known for his applied research that that includes floriculture crops, nursery and bedding plants and landscape plants in the urban environment. In 1985, he initiated what has become an annual conference on insect and disease management on ornamentals. The event is sponsored by the Society of American Florists.
The names of hall of fame inductees will be engraved on permanent plaques at the San Francisco Flower Market, the Los Angeles Flower Market and the San Diego International Floral Trade Center. (Michael Reid, an emeritus professor of plant sciences, UC Davis, will be inducted later this year.)

New Pics: Angelina Jolie And Pax Jolie-Pitt Shop At Whole Foods Together! So Cute!
But Angelina and Pax don't look like they have nearly enough food in that cart to feed their HUGE family! Maybe it's just a little snack!
Angelina Jolie, 35, and her son, Pax Jolie-Pitt, 7, went shopping at Whole Foods in Studio City, California yesterday—Pax looked like he was having so much fun getting some one-on-one time with his busy mom! Angie pushed the cart of groceries while Pax tried to fish something out of one of the bags before they even got to their car! A cookie, maybe?
Brangelina went shopping at Kmart
The globe-trotting family is in Los Angeles this week so Pax's mom and dad, Brad Pitt, could attend the Golden Globes together on Sunday night. The Hollywood power couple also hit an after-party, but Angelina told reporters that she had to leave early so she could "get the kids out the door for camp tomorrow."

Cheaper than dirt AMMO
I ordered 500rds of 7.62x39 brown bear ammo on Christmas day from CTD for 159.00 I see today they cancelled my order and raised the price to 189.00 for 500rds. I mean really not a good way to do business. I've been buying ammo from them forever NOT anymore.
I'm hairbag and I approve this message.

Did you at least get your money back?
I told the new me,
"Meet me at the bus station and hold a sign that reads: 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life.'"
But the old me met me with a sign that read: "Welcome back."

They have the right. It's just crappy business practice.
I'm worried now that I saw this thread, I ordered 5 pmag 30rnd w/window on the 18th. They said it would be on backorder till jan 1, I'm fine with that, they were 15.99 each (reasonable). I'm now just waiting for the cancelation notice like the OP got.
It's one thing if CTD realized they weren't getting any of the OPs ammo for months and did not want to keep a hold on his credit card. But obviously they have the ammo since they're offering it at a premium.

I would have called them on the phone. You are not the only one this has happened to when dealing with CTD. I had the same problem a few years back when I phoned in an order in which their new catalog said the cost was $1X. When I called, it was $1.5X.
Unfortunately, with all the buying frenzy & hysteria after a recent event, you can only expect more of the same from certain retailers. When the frenzy abates, I would avoid future businesses with retailers like this.

Short answer would be to stop dealing with CTD, they're price gouging cowards who turn their back on their customers under media pressure.

That is a pretty horrible thing for them to do. I am fine with people raising prices if other people are willing to pay it but if the order has already been placed that, at least to me, should be illegal.

Remember these are also the ones that, on the Friday of the shooting, jack Gen 2 Pmag prices to $49.99 or $59.99(can't remember) but then dropped them to $29.99 until they sold out.....

Once the price is set, it's set. That's retail. You don't go to the cash register and find out the price is higher and be happy about it. This happens all the time at the one Kmart I visit. They're closed now. Guess it is mostly Walmart Walmart Walmart for me now.

If you have a printable invoice at the original set price, I'd inform them that it's either deliver or face a lawsuit,or at the least a BBB complaint.If they run out of an item,or discontinued then i could see the cancellation.I quit doing business with them years ago because of their unsavory practices.

I personally ran into a similar situation with CTD over S&W 59 mags by Mec Gar. Ordered 'em, got the CC charged, then got an email saying they were out of stock. I could have sworn that I saw the mags going for $36 a piece AFTER I placed the order for the mags at $22 a piece! Sure, I got my CC credited, but it really left a bad taste...
I have a real hard time believing CTD 'cause these are the same guys charging $50 for Ruger BX-25 mags when they were $23 a week before. Now it says they are out of stock and the OLD price of $23 is listed again!

My wife wants to call the BBB I think if they get enough complaints they will stop this pratice. Greedy just greedy. I'm done with them. No they have not return my emails and I will TRY and call them tomorrow. I have to say Wideners are a straight up company. I ordered a crate of 5.45x39 ammo (which took a week- understandable)to ship.The ammo value went up alot before they even shipped it and could have raised the price i guess. By the time that ammo got to my house it has doubled in price.

Lousy Retailer
I too have stopped doing business with CTD. There are plenty of retailers both online and brick and mortar who do their best to honor their published prices.
On another retail vein I bought a new TV at Walmart, the sign on the wall had a too good to be true price. I asked a clerk about it. Yup she said, that's the price.
When I arrived at checkout the item rang up for 50 dollars more than the sign in the back of the store. (It was still a killer price anyway)
The manager and I walked back to the sign at the back of the store, I showed it to him, and explained that I had also asked a clerk about the price. He balked and said the price is 398, not 348. I said no thanks.
He then stated that they would sell it to me at the price on the sign, and they did.
Kudos to Walmart, even tho I mostly avoid shopping there. I just could not justify spending hundreds more elsewhere. 348 bucks for a 40" LCD smart TV is an unreal price. Merry Christmas to me!

I have to put another plug in for SG ammo they are a family run business. I ordered 1000rds of 7.62x39 of tula crap over Christmas and I though the purchase did not go through and my CC was not charged so i figured oh,well. I just got a email that it's on the way! SG ammo prices are always cheaper than CTD and fast shipping. They could have been greedy but they were not. Tula is going for alot more than I paid on GB right now. Thats a great deal on a TV BTW lol and to think what we paid for our LCD and Plasma when they first came out Thousands!

There are just to many honest reputable dealers on line to do business with. They could shut the doors as far as I am concerned. I quit doing business with them years ago.

During the "last" shortage I looked at the prices CTD was charging for 100 round boxes of Mini-Mag .22 ammo. Like the guy up the street at the LGS it went from a little over $2.00 a box to over $10.
I didn't buy it then, I'm not buying it now.

Busy youth sport administrators are sure to appreciate this all-in-one resource for training coaches, parents, and officials! With the ASEP Youth Sport Training Kit, even novice sport administrators can conduct training sessions with confidence. Featuring an easy-to-navigate menu, the DVD works in tandem with ASEP's coaching, officiating, and SportParent instructor guides (available as free downloads from the ASEP Web site) to make the task of leading clinics a snap. You're sure to find the ASEP Youth Sport Training Kit a valuable resource for conducting clinics that have a positive impact on everyone involved in your sport programs.
The ASEP Youth Sport Training Kit brings together six of the American Sport Education Program's most successful training videos into one comprehensive 100-minute DVD:
Being a C.O.A.C.H.Being a C.O.A.C.H. provides an introduction to volunteer coaching and working with players ages 8 to 14. Covered are the responsibilities of coaching, coaching philosophy, coaching for character, and communicating with athletes and parents.
Coaching SafetyCoaching Safety deals with issues for ensuring safe play, such as establishing safety plans and examining equipment, fields, and courts. Topics addressed include creating a safe environment, treating injuries, understanding liabilities surrounding the treatment of injuries, and stretching to help prevent injuries.
Preparing for Game DayPreparing for Game Day explains how to plan teams, conduct practices, and play rosters for games and sporting events. Contents feature understanding the games approach to coaching, teaching sport skills, preparing practice plans, and evaluating player performance.
Winning RespectInterscholastic and club sport coaches face challenges in helping their athletes develop not only skills and strategies but also character, respect, and responsibility. Winning Respect helps coaches address those issues. As athletes watch the video, they'll see kids just like them talking about their feelings relating to respect for opponents, for teammates and teams, for officials, for the game, and between athletes and the coach. The video mixes kids' commentary with well-known professional, college, and Olympic athletes exhibiting first-class sport behavior. It's a powerful tool for introducing athletes to the concepts of winning respect both inside and outside the sport arena.
Officiating Youth SportOfficiating Youth Sport highlights the keys to successful youth sport officiating, including what officials' duties and responsibilities are, how tightly to call games, how to be fair and impartial, how to communicate with coaches and players, how to handle conflict, and how to keep the sport safe and fun for kids. In this video, experienced sport officials share their expertise to help new or novice officials learn the fundamentals of officiating and being an effective official. Officials of all youth sports gain a solid foundation in the principles of officiating to help them call games with confidence.
SportParentSportParent shows real kids giving their views of parents' involvement in their sports. The kids tell how their parents' cheers boost their spirits and how torturous it can be when their parents yell at them or complain to the coach or referee. These kids' words serve as a wake-up call for any parent and say more about sport parent behavior than any adult ever could.
Free Downloads for Conducting Clinics
The ASEP Youth Sport Training Kit DVD works in tandem with the Coaching Youth Clinic Instructor Guide, Coaching Youth Clinic Study Guide, SportParent Facilitator Manual, and Officiating Youth Sport Instructor Kit to lead you step by step through the process of running your own clinics.
