Poem for Whitney (1963-2012) – RIP!!!!
Solace and fury,
from the jam,
to the manor born,
so many roads to sorrow,
light in the attic,
gone but still with us,
so sad to fall in battle,
wondering what might have been,
fade the rally,
float like a feather dawn,
eternal vocal chords,
angel of light,
free at the threshold,
fly and be.

Her demons won't chase her anymore. I hope this gives a wake up call to her daughter. RIP and thanks for the music and movies.Reply

Ian, thank you for the beautiful words. Even if it was expected I feel very sad.Reply
RIP Whitney

Very nice poem Ian. Surprised to see the headline, not surprised it happened. Sadly I think many believed long ago that she might die young. I think there was a lot of pressure on her in the early years of her career as she was really the first Black female with the extreme fame accompanying the celebrity craze that began in the '80s. A tremendous lost of talent that didn't just end yesterday but slipped away beginning many years ago. Thankfully her music remains. May she rest in peace.Reply

Whitney was a huge talent with a voice of an angel, truly a God given gift. It's always sad to see such wonderful potential ended too soon, gone with the blink of an eye. She will be missed but at last be at peace. The world is glad to have known you Whitney, thank you for the joys you gave so many for the short while you were here. RIPReply

Beautiful poem. RIP, Whitney. The worst thing that ever happened to her was meeting bobby brown. If not for him, her life may well have taken a different path. He's a low life who abused her throughout their marriage and I believe kept her addicted to crack. She seemed to be getting her life back on track after divorcing him. Such a sad waste of a life and talent.Reply

Oh, I will say that the rumor has it that after the announcement was made to the pre-Grammy party people, they continued to party (after a moment of silence). I just don't relate to that. It's a completely different world out there – and I would not want to be in it.
And, NO I will not be watching the Grammys even if the mainstream media has said that more people will tune in. For what? I find the grammys to be one of the most evil events of all.Reply

Her daughter was just taken from same hotel by ambulance after consuming several cocktails and becoming hysterical – her 'minders' gave her sedatives to calm her down and she collapsed so I wouldn't expext this to be a wake up call to bobbi christina I booze and drugs are already her go to for reality alteringReply

Well they said they are going to do an autopsy which would take, they "said" about 24 hrs – yet they are already trying to plant the ole "overdose" idea into the sheeple's heads – witness articles on Drudge Report and others. For that reason alone, I doubt she overdosed. I wasn't there. I don't know. However, I do NOT believe their reports. For that matter, I do not believe the "reports" of Amy Winehouse either and the death reports of others. It's like the mafia and the hotel california, there's no way out alive. MK programmers and those who profit thereof, may they rot.
One might say, well they signed up for it. Some don't even know what's going to be done to them or what signing up entails because of the substances, traumatization and intentional electroshocking afterwards that makes them forget. There now – I've aleady started, haven't I? I do believe Sheen remembered because he did not, did not, want to go to "rehab" as they call their retraumatization treatment.
I'm a little ticked off right now. I hate what they do to people for their own profit and fortune. It's not like Whitney had no talent. My God, look at all the others she outshone with that voice.Reply

Siska CCox was in NY last night for a Cougar Town event…screening and Q&A. She said earlier this week on HStern that she was going to dinner that night with Jen (maybe they celebrated her birthday early because she knew she would be away), and Adam Corolla (radio host) talked on his show this week about running into Jen, Justin and CCox at dinner at the Soho house just a week or so ago. They are fine, there is no problem between them, just work keeping CCox away this time. Just like last year Jen was in NY for her birthday because of JGWI PR and CCox was in LA shooting her show. They're both busy, it happens. No big deal.Reply

HRH what the hell is up with jen?? is this the real her?? because im not liking it, just everything she has become this past year. i never thought i would reach a point where i dont get excited to see or hear about her because she's becoming difficult to take.
i miss the old jen, maybe its me…..Reply
said on February 13th, 2012 at 10:43 am
I replied to this post yesterday but my comments didn't appear. Same thing happened on the other thread. That was a very weird and scary story she told to Oprah and I'm beginning to wonder about all these strange deaths. Siska is right, there's a lot of money made by someone after these people die. So much money is being made off MJ since his death. Who gets the money? Why does MJ's mother have to ask someone for an increase in her living expenses to support his children? I think the same thing will happen with Whitney Houston.
said on February 13th, 2012 at 11:06 am
Payal, the truth of it is that we don't know the real jen. But I'm starting to wonder about justin. I read that interview that was posted on FF and for the first time I got a real douche vibe from him. I also wonder if that is a cigarette she is smoking or something else. How did they get those photos? It seemed like a very private party.
said on February 13th, 2012 at 11:58 am
The DM is wrong since they also have a post and pics on their site of Courtney in NY at the same time they are claiming she was in LA at Jen's birthday party. They simply copied what x17 posted about the pics and they have proven themselves wrong time and again. They probably just assumed she was there since they are good friends, but go to Cox's Twitter or see the post about her on the DM…she was in NY. It's no big deal though since they are obviously still close based on sightings of them and their own words. I don't care that they aren't pictured together…all that says to me is that their friendship is real and not for public consumption. Why should they be pictured together simply to try and stop rumors? There will always be rumors by haters and they might stop that one but that will just mean another one will start.
I don't think she's smoking in that pic. There are other shots and from that far away it doesn't look like a cigarette. If it is, maybe she's having a hard time quitting, or had one just for her birthday, or maybe it's an electronic cigarette.Reply
said on February 13th, 2012 at 12:04 pm
What do you mean? What do you think is "up" with her? What are you not liking? What do you think she has "become" over the last year?
Seems to me she is as she's always been…open, honest, self-deprecating, witty, loyal, etc. I don't get any different vibes at all, so I'm not understanding your perspective. Same friends, a seemingly great and private guy…what's not to like?Reply
said on February 13th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Yes, lots of money to be made when celebs pass away. From an article today on MSNBC.com:
"Halliday found out that Sony Music increased the price of "The Ultimate Collection" at about 4 a.m. Sunday, not even 12 hours after news broke of Houston's death."
The Ultimate Collection is WH's 2007 CD. Sony has yet to comment on the reports. Pathetic but not surprising.Reply
said on February 13th, 2012 at 2:14 pm
They did the same thing with MJ…set him up for a final tour, or comeback (for Whitney) then they have an excuse to amp up their insurance policies It takes a couple years for these policies to become effective…about the same amt of time it takes to "plan" their tour or comeback.

I thought he looked hot (great biceps!) until I scrolled down to the reveal and something rubbed me the wrong way (?!?). I just thought less is more. It reminded me of aj and her dresses slit up to the crotch so you can almost see her privates. Trying too hard to look sexy and that takes away from it. jmo.

Old age!!!
That is funny Dream!
Whenever I start to think about how old I am, I remember how old my grandmothers were (we are talking twice the age of 48 and one over 100) when they passed away…from old age.
Beautiful poem Ian.
I was really shocked to hear about Whitney's passing.
I will always remember her as being a vivacious young lady strutting across the television screen on MTV belting out her song 'How will I know" in her beautiful unforgettable voice.Reply
said on February 13th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Payal, what is it that she's become in the past year that you don't like? How is it different from the past?
Also, you said something on the previous thread that I keep meaning to ask you about. You said Justin "doesn't seem to be they kind of guy jen would even have as a friend let alone spend the rest of her life with him".
What kind of guy is he that you don't think she would have him as a friend?
From this NY Mag article it seems they have a lot in common. He went to a Steiner school, like Jen. He's the product of divorce at a young age with step siblings. like Jen. He has adopted siblings, like Jen
Also fyi to all, that blind that Payal posted about "Bigger Roles Or They Are Breaking Up" was deleted at Blind Gossip. …..Hmmm, intesting.Reply

Jolie says she has idea for Afghanistan movie following directorial debut on Bosnian war
By Associated Press,
BERLIN — Angelina Jolie says she's not yet sure whether she will follow her directorial debut on the Bosnian war with another film on such serious material — but she has already written a script focusing on the conflict in Afghanistan.
Jolie, who presented her movie "In the Land of Blood and Honey" at the Berlin International Film Festival, told reporters Monday that even her husband Brad Pitt is unfamiliar with her Afghanistan idea.
She says: "I did write something on Afghanistan. Nobody's seen it yet. Brad hasn't seen it. It's hidden. So I don't know how very good it is, but it's been a pleasure to write."
Meantime, she says her next project is playing the villain in a Disney film — something she says her kids are much happier about.Reply

[Hollywood Dame] This PR created couple is quickly crumbling despite public displays of unity and reps planting "sources" and "insiders" insisting the couple is perfectly happy. He is exhausting all of her high powered friends and connections. Look for a break up soon if he doesn't start nabbing bigger movie roles.

according to this shrink quoted, women have no idea what there is beautiful about themselves inside and out so they go nuts for whoreshine who has built up the perfect glittery lie to look at and admire. i like the author's thought that these people still don't know why they like her.
i also like how the author shows when jolie's real ca-ching fame began…
'Jolie has been cover gold for magazine editors for seven long years now, ever since she hooked up with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2005.
Entertainment websites such as dailymail.co.uk run two or three stories on Jolie per day, such is our insatiable appetite for updates on the woman.
Her off-beat background – bisexuality, tattoos and carrying a vial of blood of ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton, all helped cement our interest in her early days of Lara Croft and Tombraider, but it was the Jennifer Aniston v Angelina Jolie feud which really elevated her in the gossip-hungry public's eyes, after Aniston filed for divorce in 2005 and became forever embedded as the "wronged woman".
The storylines still persist to this day.
Adding to her lustre, Jolie has also presented herself as a celebrity with a compassionate side with her humanitarian work for the UNHCR and her string of adoptions, including children, Maddox, Zahara and Pax, as well as her own children Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.
Psychologist Cynthia Hickman believes Jolie's perpetual intrigue is because women are absolutely "mesmerised" by her and we're objectifying what is female beauty.
"Women have lost touch with their own true inner beauty so instead when they see beauty reflected outside of themselves they are fascinated," she says.
"Women have fallen for the story that they are supposed to be physically beautiful, have the perfect husband, interesting work and glamorous life style. Angelina epitomises all this, so they are obsessed with her."
It still begs the question why it's Jolie, and not any of the raft of other Hollywood stars out there, who fascinate us on such a scale. Perhaps it's because we'll never quite know why we like her – and she will certainly never tell us.Reply

I dont think it will last forever…cause nothing last forever…and she will not get married again..cause she already declare it..
said on February 13th, 2012 at 7:18 pm
Almost all comedians / comediennes have a dark side. The bright side needs the black side to reflect. Jennifer also has a dark side. Maybe it´s first know since she has met Justin who also have a bright and a dark side she can allow herself to express this. Her earlier partner, especially her ex-husband, don´t have both sides. They are only "grey". When Brad says he is bored it´s because he´s grey. I think Jennifer slowly learns to show even her dark side. Her choises of movies also indicate this. Horrible Bosses isn´t a pure comedy. She did that movie before she met justin so perhaps she looked for someone who could both laugh and cry. Her new movie "Miss you already" also have both sides in it.
In our apartments or houses we often have curtains at the windows. We need the curtains so that the eyes easier should move from the dark room to the curtains that is lighter to the window and the daylight. The dark protect our eyes from the bright daylight. I can see a similarity between the human physiology and the human psychology.
If a comedienne always looks at the bright daylight she will have hard to see things, she can´t see the comic either. Thats why she need the dark and the curtains.Reply

hey guys thanks for not judging me or jumping down my throat, i still love jen!!! but i feel like nostalgia is my favorite word right now and again maybe im projecting my own feelings onto her or as she hasn't been in the public eye much im letting myself get influenced by the damn media, hopefully when i see jen again doing press, my fears will go away.Reply
said on February 14th, 2012 at 12:06 am
That might be the case, but honestly if you look at a link to a site Isopix at FF you will see all the pics from the set and it's definitely not a cigarette. It's a flash of light (probably from a candle on the opposite ledge). Her hand and face are way in front of the light which is way too large to be a cigarette. The DM gets things wrong all the time and they probably just wanted to stir up controversy. x17 didn't say she was smoking in the pics and they're the agency that took them. You know they would have been all over that if they thought it was true.
@Payal: Maybe you are projecting. I would like to hear your reasons for saying what you said. Why do you feel as you do about Jen right now?Reply

Are you afraid he's too much like Pitt?

Pitt – "Your talking to a guy," Pitt begins, "who's always had this kind of congenital sadness.
Fincher – Tyler Durden is probably a character that's closer to Brad in real life than most people would be comfortable knowing," Fincher suggests. "There is a childlike sense of anarchy to things that interest Brad. He is a kind of a shit stirrer

I'm glad you don't see this as jumping down your throat because it's not meant to be. I guess some of us are just interested in understanding why you see things the way you're seeing them.
I see what Tetta is saying and your comment about the nostalgia makes me think that your thoughts about Jen may be influenced by the timeframe of your exposure to Jen and how she has been portrayed in the media during that time. I'd be interested to know if you can separate your feelings about Jen from what your knowledge of Justin is? If you didn't have that knowledge of him, what changes do you see in Jen?
said on February 14th, 2012 at 3:14 am
Can it be that some of us are a bit jealous on Justin and even a bit angry ? He has stolen "our Jennifer". She just disappeared for over a month during the holiday season. We are used to have a continuous availability to her and we are used to have at least a weekly update on what she is doing. And today too. We don´t know where she will live, NY or LA ? Is her romance with Justin for real ? Jennifer wants more privacy but we blame Justin for taking her away from us.Reply

remember how broken up diaz was over him a few years back? when they were an item he was away and she got caught by paps snogging in the bushes with some handsome guy. then justin came back to town and she made a big deal on camera to jump into his arms and wrap her legs around him. i figured she'd get away with it since so much is just bearding and all, but not too terrible long later it was done between she and timberlake. i read that she tracked him down at a hollywood event and a girlfriend had to talk some sense into her before she made a sad fool of herself.

The trouble is, they are all clamouring nostalgically for the legend that was Brad Pitt. Not for the man he is now. He is a whisker away from being addressed by people looking at him quizzically and asking "didn't you used to be Brad Pitt?" At the BAFTA Awards, Adam Deacon, who won the Rising Star Award, got onto the stage and said he couldn't believe he was in the same place as people like Brad Pitt, as if Pitt is either the epitome of handsome, cool,edgy HW megastars (and I think some still view him as that because of his subversive,urban, cult turns in films like Fight Club and Snatch- and he still has quite a bit of mileage to get out of that view of him) or he is the ultimate,generic, uber-famous tabloid HW star kept in the limelight through all the gossip. I think people still feel affection for him because they love his old films and they don't recognise that he has become a onesie wearing, smelly old goat who wears ridiculous platform shoes and plays power games with his plastic- fantastic partner- in- crime on the red carpet. If his WWZ film goes down well or one of the others he has in the pipeline, he will be back on top, because there is still a lot of goodwill out there amongst his fans. If not, all it would take would be for him to drop this fruitless notion that he has to produce "Art" now and for him to do another cameo turn for Guy Richie or someone, and he'd be considered to be back doing what he does best. Jolie is best at playing nutters, so she needs to write herself a script set in a psychiatrists office or an asylum. She may have done a better job than Keira Knightley playing a sado-masochistic hysteric in A Dangerous Method – wonder why they didn't give her a call?

I haven't seen the film. It's had mixed reviews, from what I've read. It's about the relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, with Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender playing the leads. They are supposed to be good in it, but Knightley is being panned, not surprisingly.

I forgot to say how much I loved Whitney Houston. Sort of grew up to her music. I don't necessarily believe what the mainstream media(MSM) is so VERY quick to get out there – that she automatically died of an overdose. They "said" an autopsy was performed and that the toxicology report would be back in 8 weeks (you know how much time it REALLY takes to get results back from toxicology?). Another one covered by the MSM for their masters. I don't know what really transpired in that room – only Whitney,God and maybe another person(s) – and for that reason (the MSM) trying to once again mind control the masses, in my gut I tend to wonder what the real truth is.
I would certainly hope that, when I pass, people don't say OMG she died of alcoholism just because at one time in my life I had a problem with it. But then, of course, I am not in that evil industry and am not the "protege" of one Clive what's the goat's name?
I find it macab that they let her dead body remain in that room for the sake of upsetting the guests at the pre Grammy party downstairs – that they not see the stretcher go out of the building upon the guests' arrival. A macabre event for sure. The coroner, therefore, did not rush over to do the process. Here's what her family stated about it: http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/02/whitney-houston-family-upset-clive-davis-party-proceeded and I am in total agreement with them.
We just had, last week was it? – Madonna's evil ritual in front of God and the USA and others. I've never seen anything so evil (and I have heard that Nicki Manaj's performace was even more evil at the Grammy's). They are right there in plain sight. Bold, aren't they (illuminati)? There's an excellent explanation of what I'm talking about re: Madonna at SuperBowl ritual, er I meant performance.
And that brings me to Whitney again and her previous SuperBowl singing the of the Nat. Anthem…are those days really gone? I heard Chaka Khan talking about her friend Whitney… boy, if you have ever seen someone interviewed and they seemed to be holding back so much that's inside – well, that was her. I just know she knows the industry and how it works. God bless 'em all. Chaka has been recovered, she said, for 8 years I believe it was from drugs and such.
The other day, someone I know was on the phone with me (I was in a department store at the time and they were in another public place) and they were having an emergency or someone was sick – I don't recall. I immediately broke into prayer and the other party said "oops, I had you on speaker and you said Jesus, to which I responded "I don't care – I don't care – I don't care. If I have to put up with that vile stuff on tv, do 'ya think I care what anyone thinks about praying in the name of Jesus?"
Speaking of that name, did ya see Whitney and a friend (?) singing the night before: Jesus Loves Me. How's that for timing? He's sooo good. And I pray that Whitney is leading the choir up there in Heaven.
There now, I feel better – been wanting to vent that for some time.
said on February 15th, 2012 at 12:37 am
I meant to add that one the evaluations of Madonna's performance to satan is at vigilant citizen.com. Everything in that performance is broken down.
And Michael Jackson was addicted to that stuff that puts you out pre-surgery? Really? Addicts like to get high and feel good I thought not be knocked completely out like what was described by MSM. He was warning us of the illuminati. Knew that when I heard his song to his "comeback" (like Whitney and her "comeback") that said "they don't care about us" – in fact, I believe that was the title. The dancers and Michael were marching like Nazis – goosesteppping – in the rehearsal footage I saw.
There will never be another Whitney or Michael – hard as they try. They are gone. Maybe some masters have hell to pay, no?

@janindisguise:I agree with you wholeheartedly. I believe Whitney was sacrificed. All the signs were there. The reason they continued the party is because Clive the Devil had to have the sacrificial body on the property while they danced and partied over it. I don't believe one iota that Whitney died from drugs — she was more than likely drowned at the hands of someone else coming into the bathroom or given a mega-dosage of Xanex (not knowing so). it 's so surprising how Satan took over Hollywierd — and a lot of these stars fall prey to the Devil's evil ways.Reply

Hi Sandy After learning how Whitney's body was found…my first thought was also that someone might have held her under water They said on the news, as the Grammy's were about to begin, that Whitney was "lying in wait", which I thought was an odd term to use. I believe that's a term used in war/battle. I agree that it was more like a sacrificial body on the premises while everyone partied I heard Chaka say that Whitney would not say: The show must go on. She would have said: Stop the presses! And I have to agree with Chaka.

Noun 1. lying in wait – the act of concealing yourself and lying in wait to attack by surprise
ambuscade, ambush, trap
coup de main, surprise attack – an attack without warning
dry-gulching – the act of killing from ambush
Adj. 1. lying in wait – waiting in concealment; in ambush; "an army lying in wait in the forest"
concealed – hidden on any grounds for any motive; "a concealed weapon"; "a concealed compartment in his briefcase"

Hi Sandy – I have wondered ever since I saw a picture (I think at FF) where on the right side between her face and her neck, it looked like her face was attached. It was so blatent. I'm going to try to find that again . Basically, I have had this feeling in my gut where this is NOT the real one. Where in the world (literally I believe) did the real one go?
Then, the other night I came upon a website (a little far out one – Jeff Rense?) where a blog was about such as that. It mentioned also Nicole Kidman and showed the real one and the latest one. Wow – that was more than plastic surgery/botox, etc. I think Jolie got mention there. I'll have to go and see that again also. I just hate to post sort of way-out urls here because of the messenger being perhaps too hard to swallow you know.

But I couldn't and I knew it was true because certain things that I'd experienced in my life started to make sense, and I realized that not knowing isn't going to stop it…so the only choice is to BE AWARE of what is happening around me. I don't trust anyone anymore, but I DO trust my own intuition more than ever.

I was raised Catholic though I don't practice it much these days. I still go to Mass occasionally but prefer to spend my time in church alone. The church does help the poor but like every religious institution there is hypocrisy. There was much money spent on the sexual abuse scandal that was diverted from other things. There are cardinals and priets in the Vatican that should have been kicked out of the church over the abuse scandal but were instead brought to Rome and rewarded. I'm not entirely sure of Benedict myself but there are far worse choices for popr, this I know for certain.

PHILADELPHIA—Andy Reid wouldn't admit it, but the pressure from above to win big this year had to have some influence in the coach's decision to fire Juan Castillo just 22 games into his career as defensive coordinator.
Reid had never fired a coach midseason in his previous 13 years as head coach until he parted ways Monday night with his longtime assistant, who had served the franchise for 17 seasons. Defensive backs coach Todd Bowles was promoted to fill Castillo's void.
Reid also hinted more moves could be coming and ruled out nothing, which opens the door for speculation that Michael Vick could be headed for the bench or that offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will be stripped of his play-calling duty. Vick has accounted for 13 of the team's 17 turnovers and the offense ranks 31st in points scored.
Reid's reaction to a two-game losing streak that dropped his team to 3-3 is at very least tinged with desperation in the aftermath of preseason comments made by team owner Jeffrey Lurie, who said the Eagles needed to be much better than last year's 8-8 record and that Reid wouldn't be around for season No. 15 and beyond if they weren't.
The most glaring evidence: He's had several 3-3 teams make the postseason without making any midseason moves as bold as this one.
Meanwhile, the Eagles aren't drastically changing their scheme or reneging on the wide-nine alignment under Bowles, but they will have a different look than the unit presided over by Castillo.
Bowles didn't tip his hat about potential changes but you can guarantee that he'll be cooking up some pressure schemes to remedy the team's first three-game streak without a sack since 1983.
Castillo was a very selective blitzer who relied mostly on front-four pressure and showed little ability to adjust when teams max protected against him.
Bowles, who comes from the Bill Parcells coaching tree, is a widely respected defensive mind and was brought in for the purpose of taking over the defense if Castillo stumbled.

Click on the thumbnail for the current Statewide Basin High/Low ogive. The NRCS statewide map that I usually show is out of sync with the graph. They are working on it, according to Mage Hultstrand. She told me via email:
The High Low graph is using the "old" 1971-2000 averages and includes all the SNOTEL sites in the basin (with averages).
The statewide update map has already been switched over to the "new" 1981-2010 normals. We have not yet completed the calculations of these new normals for all of our sites; as a result this map does not include all the sites across the state or in the South Platte basin yet. That's why I showed the high low graph instead of the map at the [Water Availability Task Force] meeting. For right now it is the more accurate representation of conditions across the state.
We plan to have all the new calculations done by January 1 and then the two products will both be updated with the new averages and should match.
Here's the recap of the November 20, 2012 Water Availability Task Force Meeting from the Colorado Water Conservation Board.
With ten consecutive months of below average precipitation, the 2012 water year, which ended on September 30th, saw just 75% of normal precipitation. November has continued on a below average trend; although a storm around Veteran's day brought beneficial moisture to the mountains, slightly boosting statewide precipitation from 54% on November 1st to 58% as of the 19th. At this early stage in the snow accumulation seasons, snowpack is at 45% of average. Despite a cooler October, November temperatures are above seasonal averages. Currently, this calendar year ranks as the 2nd warmest on record (1895-2012) with a statewide average temperature of 51.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
As of the November 20, 2012 US Drought Monitor, 100% of Colorado is experiencing some level of drought classification. D2 (severe) and D3 (extreme) cover nearly 79% of the state, while 13% of the state is experiencing exceptional drought (D4), isolated to the eastern plains. This is a slight decrease in D4 classification since the start of the water year on October 1, 2012.
Many municipalities that had implemented both voluntary and mandatory watering restrictions earlier in the year will keep these in place throughout the winter. Through the irrigation season Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) saw consumption increase to the highest levels since 2002; consequently reservoir levels are the lowest since 2002. Other communities are closely watching the situation and have some concern should the drought conditions persist for another year.
Statewide reservoir storage is at 66% of average and 37% of capacity. The highest storage levels are in the Yampa/ White River Basin, at 96% of average while the lowest storage in the state is the Rio Grande River basin at 47% of average. All other basins range from 61% to 73% of average and 17% to 52% of total capacity.
Many basins that were able to rebound following the 2002 drought are reporting reservoir levels that have not been seen in nearly a decade; while others that were not able to fully rebound to normal levels post the 2002drought continue to report below average reservoir levels.
Surface Water Supply Index values have improved in some areas (Huerfano, Cache La Poudre & Big Thompson) and deteriorated in others. The central portions of the state as well as the southwestern corner have seen the largest decline. This is largely due to decreased stream flows and decreased storage levels. During this time of the year the SWSI is calculated using observed, rather than forecasted, stream flow volumes.
For the first time in nine years ENSO-neutral conditions are likely to dominate through the winter months. Without El Nino or La Nina influencing weather patterns, it is difficult to determine when the current drought regime will be broken in Colorado. The latest long term experimental forecast, issued November 19th, shows below-normal chances of moisture from January to March throughout much of Colorado. This is based largely on other factors such as a cold north Pacific (PDO) and a warm North Atlantic (AMO).
From The Pueblo Chieftain (Chris Woodka):
Colorado snowpack through November is only 43 percent of normal, raising concerns that a statewide drought may be entering its second year.
The statewide water availability task force, meeting last week in Denver, pointed to several indicators that drought is continuing. The most extreme drought is in the Lower Arkansas Valley — Crowley, Otero, Kiowa, Bent, Las Animas and Prowers counties — where the drought could be entering its third year. Despite a widespread storm on Veterans Day, snowpack is at 43 percent of normal statewide. The Arkansas River basin is in the worst shape at 26 percent, while the Colorado River basin, which supplies supplemental water to this basin, is at 44 percent.
The Rio Grande basin snowpack is at 43 percent.
Early snow levels are not a good indicator of water availability for 2013, since most of the snow in Colorado falls in March and April. Coupled with last year's subpar snowpack, however, a dry winter could spell trouble.
Statewide reservoir storage is at twothirds of average and just 37 percent of capacity. were able to rebound following the 2002 drought are reporting reservoir levels that have not been seen in nearly a decade," said Taryn Finnessey, of the Colorado Water Conservation Board and cochair of the task force.
Some cities are extending outdoor water restrictions into winter months.
Pueblo did not put restrictions in place, but was forced to draw down water held in storage to meet increased demand.
The task force also noted that temperatures in November were again above normal, as 2012 has been the second warmest year on record. The warmest was 1934.
Longterm forecasts call for drier than normal conditions through March.
From the Vail Daily (Lauren Glendenning):
In recent memory, the 2007-08 season started off dry and ended up wet. Last season — one of the worst snow years on record — started out snowy. You can never tell what December and the rest of the season will bring based on November weather, but that doesn't help local hotels waiting for December bookings to fill up.
The sunny skies are unsettling, said Meteorologist Joel Gratz, who runs the powder forecasting site www.opensnow.com.
Gratz points out that weather, or storm tracks, often gets stuck in a pattern. Over the last decade or so, he said those patterns have tended to persist for 2 to 4 weeks and then they change. Last season, however, the pattern never really flipped, Gratz said.
"That was the first time I had seen that in a long, long time," he said. "We were on the wrong side of the storm track and nothing really shifted, and the last few weeks we've been on the wrong side of the storm track and nothing has really shifted. … It's unsettling to see this now. I don't know if it's going to change or not. I have no clue."[…]
Sites like www.accuweather.com predict weather a month in advance. That site shows the Vail area turning to a colder, snowier pattern around mid-December, but Gratz said you just can't scientifically predict weather that far in advance.
He does see a storm heading toward Colorado around Monday, but he only expects 2-4 inches out of that storm, if that.
It's still a bit too early to pin down the exact timing or amounts, but the models are somewhat consistent with this storm hitting Colorado, so I'll jump on the band wagon," Gratz wrote in his Tuesday forecast. "At this point I wouldn't expect much more than a 2-4 inch event, but maybe if we get lucky there could be talk of six inches."
Gratz has looked at some historical data over the last 30 years and said there have been maybe 2 to 4 seasons that had an equally slow start like this season. Half of those seasons turned out about average, and half turned out below average, he said.

HUFFMAN, Texas - After more than five hours of negotiation, deputies took an armed and dangerous man into custody who had barricaded himself in Huffman.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the incident occurred in the 900 block of Lone Pine Drive.
S.W.A.T. team members blocked off many of the streets in the neighborhood after they said a man barricaded himself inside a home with another person.
According to authorities, Constable Precinct 3 deputies had attempted to serve a warrant against the suspect; the situation escalated, and he locked himself inside with a weapon.
HCSO said its High Risk Operations Unit was deployed and negotiated with the suspect for a peaceful surrender.
The man is charged with aggravated assault for injuries caused to his sister prior to barricading himself. These charges are in addition to any previous outstanding charges.

Nursing and healthcare jobs are wide and varied.
Some allied health jobs, like nursing assistants, get paid only $15,000 to $30,000 per year. But doctors can be paid hundreds of thousands!
When you are talking about salary, each healthcare job is different. In fact, each nursing job is different. A CNA will usually make under $30,000 per year. But a Registered Nurse? They can make well over $70,000 per year!
When picking a nursing job, you need to keep in mind your goals as a person. You need to have professional goals. You should Google for the salaries of the position you are looking at.
For example, if you want to be an RN, look up what they make! If you want to be a certified nursing assistant, look up their salary! It's not too hard to find. In fact, most of this information is available for free. One thing to note, though, is that salary depends on location.
Big cities like Chicago, IL or New York City typically have higher pay. Small towns in states like Minnesota or Connecticut will usually pay less. That's ok, though, because the cost of living is lower in these places. In general, nursing jobs pay very well.
They also have many other benefits. For example, you get to help people. Every day you get to improve another person's life! As a nurse, the "pay" is definitely worth more than your salary! One thing that is overlooked is the cost of training. Many people ignore the fact that becoming a nurse costs money.
You need to pay for books. There are classes that need to be taken. There are clinical hours you need to put in. The process takes time and money. If you don't know how much your nursing and CNA classes will cost, you should check out this site on free classes. If you look at it that way, you will see that you make more money in your second year.
The first one will be consumed with fees! So take it from me: being a nurse is rewarding, and the pay is pretty good. It's not as good as a doctor, but you can make a nice living. Even if you are a single mother, a nursing salary is enough to provide for your children. The hours are long, but the pay is great!

David Moore's Cowboys/Redskins grades: Cowboys hold on early, but Romo and defense fall apart
Thumbs down: No resistance
Yes, the Cowboys defense is banged up. Yes, Dallas faced the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL. You knew the Redskins would pound the Cowboys on the ground. But allowing 274 yards for an average of 6.5 yards a carry? Rookie Alfred Morris gained 200 of those yards by gaining 10 or more yards on nine of his 33 carries. Robert Griffin III chipped in 63 yards.
Thumbs up: Getting started
When is ending your first two possessions of the game with interceptions considered a decent start? When your opponent doesn't capitalize. The Cowboys weathered that early storm and took the lead before settling for a 7-7 tie at the half. This was significant for a Cowboys team that was down 21-0 at the half of last season's season ending loss to the NY Giants.
Thumbs down: Offensive glitch
The only chance the Cowboys had to win this game was if quarterback Tony Romo and the offense continued to play at the high level they have in recent weeks. It didn't happen. Romo threw three interceptions after throwing just three in the previous eight games. The 18 points was the team's lowest output since it had just 13 points in a loss to Atlanta on Nov. 4.

Justin Bieber, who once said "Instagram is for the devil" and "I think hell is Instagram, I'm, like, 90 percent sure," has made his triumphant return to the social network following a months-long hiatus. The posts started with footage from his viral T-Mobile Super Bowl ad, which cops have promised to show drunk drivers as punishment for their crimes. Overnight, the pop star dumped a trove of new pictures to satisfy his 77.2 million followers and they won't be disappointed.

Altogether, Bieber posted nine selfies in various states of undress—in bed, before a mirror, with pals, and in the studio. Fans can admire the results of his fitness regime or check out dates for 2017 legs of his Purpose Tour. You can see him in nerdy glasses, praying before a meal and peeking out from under the covers. In short, Bieber is back on the 'gram.
Here are some highlights from the "Sorry" singer's return:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Two days after Marissa Alexander was released from jail on bail, a national legal association visits Jacksonville to lend its support to those fighting for her freedom.
Earlier this year, an appeals court overturned the 2012 conviction of the Jacksonville mother of three for firing a shot in the direction of her husband and his two kids, saying the jury instructions were faulty.
On Wednesday, a judge agreed to release Alexander on $200,000 bond as she awaits a retrial. She must also wear a GPS ankle monitor and obey other terms of her bail.
Alexander's close family is speaking out just days after she was released from jail.
Needless to say, the past few years have been difficult for Pastor Al Berry of Faith Chapel Church of God and his family, seeing Alexander jailed, convicted and sent to prison.
"We became very attached to her, she has been to our home, she has been a part of our extended family if you will, to the point of being like a daughter that we didn't have," said Berry.
There's a new ray of hope for Berry and the family as Alexander is set for a new trial, and just days ago released on bond until then. It's something she says she's thankful for this holiday season.
"She's glad to be home obviously, she's glad to be with her family and that's what we were praying for," said Berry. "It's good that it happened during this time where she can be with her children and her parents and her other siblings, as well."
Berry is the godfather of Alexander's twins. He's also one of those who spoke in court, promising the judge he'd offer her a job at his church if she got out.
"We were in a position to offer her a custodial position at the church, where she would be accounted for in terms of employment," Berry said, "and that was on record during the bond hearing and that offer is still in effect."
Berry said everything is happening quickly and it's quite the whirlwind. He said they've got a long way to go, but spirits are high and he's telling her to take things one step at a time.
"When we let her settle in and processed the idea of being home and let her get acclimated to the family environment, and then we'll go from there, but the offer still stands," said Berry.
The National Lawyers Guild -- a nationwide organization of lawyers, law students and legal workers -- says Alexander's release is a great step, but there is still much more work to be done.
"We're thrilled. We think this was the right thing to do and we applaud it," said Kerry McLean, who is on the National Executive Board of the National Lawyers Guild.
The group Free Marissa Now is happy to have them, along with the outpouring of national attention and support.
"It's one thing to fight for something, and then nobody supports you. It's another when you're fighting for something and everybody's got your back," said Anthony Heard of Free Marissa Now.
"The anti-sexism committee of the guild became very interested in Marissa's case some time ago," McLean said. "To be quite frank, we were shocked that a survivor of domestic violence was being treated so harshly."
McLean visited with Free Marisa Now last month to give legal advice, and now that Alexander is out of jail, she's back. She spoke with Alexander's mother about her daughter's homecoming in time for Thanksgiving.
"After being behind bars for what actually (is) three years now, Marissa (is) just actually taking some time to process being free again and reconnecting with her children," McLean said.
Alexander's case has gained national attention. Heard says it only strengthens the group's exposure and resolve.
"To have her here and have the nation -- Atlanta, Chicago -- have them on the bandwagon, I guess with us or fighting with us, means that were not fighting alone... means that were not wrong," Heard said.
The group and the National Lawyers Guild still believe the charges against Alexander should be dropped altogether -- something the state attorney's office has refused to consider.
"We hope that this trial doesn't even happen," McLean said. "We do sort of have our eyes on that, so we'll see what happens."
Supporters are planning a welcome home party for Alexander on Dec. 16. They are not sure if Alexander will be able to attend, but they want her to know there are people supporting her defense.
Free Marissa Now already has 400 members, and the group continues to write letters and send emails to state and local leaders, hoping to build pressure to have the battery charges dropped.
If the case goes to trial, they plan to fill the courtroom to show support for Alexander.

text: Hi Everyone, My name is Spencer I am the proud Mom of two human children, an ever changing number of cats and a couple of whacked out guinea pigs that might possibly have mob ties (I swear they are planning something). Of course the more interesting thing is the dogs! I have been dog sitting my friends Bouvier Des Flandres for three days a week for years now - as well as taking in and finding homes for various strays or dogs people I know couldn't keep. Not really "rescue" but helping out now and again. The Bouv's stay here because she works three 12hr shifts a week and basically works, sleeps, works, sleeps while on shift - it's better for them to come play with me than be crated for such long periods of time. Anyway - recently I got my own dog! he is a 9wk old powder puff Chinese crested that I have named Tobias (Toby). He is absolutely full of it! ready to take on the universe. He is fearless and has no sense of self preservation and has made me laugh more than anything has in a long time. We are actually going back to his breeder later this week to bring home his sister who is a "hairy hairless" - I fell totally head over heels for her when we picked up Toby but she had been sold. The people backed out on getting her though - so she was offered to us! We have decided to call her Jett (after Joan Jett) because she reminds me of a little punk rocker with her crazy hair and little leg warmers. I am including a picture of Toby and a picture of Jett (taken by the breeder). Jett's ears look a little funny because they are taped at the moment! Spencer & Co

For out of town fans of the Patriots that don't have a subscription to the Sunday Ticket, the month of September has been feast or famine. The week one game was broadcast only in New England and western New York, then week two was available to all on the NFL Network. Last week's game was shown only in Florida and New England (though not in Hartford), now this week the broadcast will once again be readily available as NBC broadcasts the game on Sunday night. Patriot fans have had a variety of announcers and producers to compare and contrast thus far; the Pats have been on a different network every week this year.
New England Patriots at Atlanta Falcons
Sunday September 29 at 8:30 pm ET on NBC
Al Michaels (play by play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Michele Tafoya (sideline eye candy)
Line: A week ago this game was a Pick'em; today the Patriots are favored by 1½. Total has gone up from 48 to an average of 49½ points.
Here is a look at what other games will be shown on Sunday afternoon based on preliminary listings; keep in mind that local stations can request a change between now and kickoff. Fox has the doubleheader this week; all of CBS' games are early with the exception of the Jets at Titans. New England fans get the announcing crew of Kevin Burkhardt and John Lynch back-to-back, Jet fans have to put up with Dan Dierdorf, and most of the country shockingly gets to see Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
Steelers vs Vikings (Jim Nantz, Phil Simms)
Will be shown everywhere except as noted below
Ravens at Bills (Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts)
Western New York, DC, Maryland, Delaware, eastern Virginia
Bengals at Browns (Marv Albert, Rich Gannon)
Ohio, eastern Kentucky
Colts at Jaguars (Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots)
Indiana, western Kentucky, eastern Illinois
Jets at Titans (Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf)
Connecticut, New Jersey, eastern New York, Tennessee, Arizona, Chicago, Tampa, Houston, Seattle

Until 1561 Zuccari Zuccaro was the helper and pupil of his older brother, the painter Taddeo ZuccariZuccaro. In 1565 Federico worked in Florence under the painter, architect, and biographer Giorgio Vasari and codified the theory of Mannerism in L'idea de' scultori, pittori e architetti (1607; "The Idea of Sculptors, Painters, and Architects") and in a series of frescoes in his own house in Rome (Palazzo ZuccariZuccaro). In 1593 he became the first president of the Academy of St. Luke in Rome, which is to some extent the parent body of modern art academies. He completed some of Taddeo's work at Caprarola and travelled through France and the Netherlands in 1574.
In England in 1575 Zuccari Zuccaro painted portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester (and probably no one else—the hundreds of portraits in England that bear his name are ascribed without foundation). Later commissions were the painting of the dome of Florence cathedral left unfinished by Vasari's death (1575–79), a large work in the Palazzo Ducale at Venice in 1582, and much work for El Escorial in Spain (1585–88). His late paintings are much quieter and less mannered in style, and he lived to see Mannerism become extinct.

MORE: Midwest preview | Southeast preview
Powerhouse Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman visits Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral Saturday night at University of Phoenix Stadium and it should be one of the best early-season matchups in the country. Rivals.com West analyst Adam Gorney will be in attendance and here are three things he'll be looking for:
1. Will Connor Brewer continue to prove he's a gamer?
Brewer, who committed to Texas in February, has been fabulous the last two seasons during the season but not as good on the camp circuit. Game play is much more important so it will be interesting to see how Brewer handles himself against a stout Gorman defense.
Rated as the fourth-best pro-style quarterback and No. 123 in the 2012 class by Rivals.com, Brewer threw for 2,677 yards with 37 touchdowns and six interceptions last season. He had 1,896 yards with 20 scores and only six picks as a sophomore.
Brewer has been solid during the summer camp circuit - we saw him at The Opening in Beaverton, Ore., and the Elite 11 at Pepperdine - but he definitely struggled at times, too. There were many quarterbacks who looked better, especially at the Elite 11.
Brewer admitted that he's much better in game situations where he needs to make snap decisions and lead a team, so this will be one of his biggest stages yet. Bishop Gorman has a good defense and Chaparral's offense will be tested.
2. Can Davonte Neal continue to dominate the competition?
We were a little disappointed with Neal's performance at the Los Angeles NIKE Camp this spring and wondered whether he had topped out in talent, but then he dominated at the Seattle NIKE Camp, The Opening and Gridiron Kings.
It's not clear now whether Neal, a four-star prospect by Rivals.com, is better at wide receiver or cornerback since he played so well at both positions this summer. It will be interesting to see how well he does against Gorman's cornerbacks and talented receivers.
Rivals.com rates Neal as the No. 20 wide receiver and No. 136 in the 2012 class. After such a strong summer he could be moving up in the rankings, especially if he plays well in Saturday night's season opener.
3. How talented is this Gorman squad?
Running back Shaquille Powell was especially impressive against Concord (Calif.) De La Salle last season and his recruitment is finally starting to gain traction. Vanderbilt and Illinois are two of his favorites.
Four-star Ronnie Stanley is back in football mode after playing AAU basketball this summer. He can dominate at times and alongside Ron Scoggins, Gorman has a formidable offensive line duo.
Junior quarterback Jarrett Solomon has put up serious numbers and could be a star in the making and sophomore running back Nathen Starks is already being recruited by some Pac-12 schools.
