Jonathan Kimble Simmons was originally a singer, with a degree in music from the University of Montana. He turned to theater in the late 1970s and appeared in many regional productions in the Pacific Northwest before moving to New York in 1983. He appeared in Broadway and off-Broadway shows and also did some television -- his early roles included the portrayal of a white supremacist responsible for multiple murders in an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street. In that same vein, Simmons first gained wide exposure as Vern Schillinger, the leader of an Aryan Brotherhood-type organization in prison in the HBO series Oz. Parlaying his small-screen notoriety into feature film opportunities, Simmons had a small part in the 1997 thriller The Jackal and played a leading role in [[Performer~P242171~Frank Todaro~franktodaro]]'s low-budget comedy [[Feature~V163057~Above Freezing~abovefreezing]], a runner-up for the most popular film at the 1998 Seattle Film Festival. Also in 1997, Simmons increased his television prolificacy by taking on the role of Dr. Emil Skoda, the consulting psychiatrist to the Manhattan district attorney's office in the series [[Feature~V242082~Law and Order~laworder[tvseries]]]. By 1999, Simmons was showing up in such prominent films as The Cider House Rules and the baseball drama For Love of the Game, directed by Sam Raimi. The director again enlisted Simmons for his next film, 2000's The Gift. After a supporting turn in the disappointing comedy The Mexican, Simmons teamed with Raimi for the third time, bringing cigar-chomping comic-book newspaperman J. Jonah Jameson screaming to life in the 2002 summer blockbuster Spider-Man. In 2004, he would reprise the role in the highly anticipated sequel, Spider-Man 2. That same year, along with appearing alongside Tom Hanks in the Coen Brothers' The Ladykillers, Simmons continued to be a presence on the tube, costarring on ABC's midseason-replacement ensemble drama The D.A.His career subsequently kicking into overdrive, the popular character actor was in increasingly high demand in the next few years, enjoying a productive run as a voice performer in such animated television series' as Justice League, Kim Possible, The Legend of Korra, and Ultimate Spider-Man (the latter of which found him reprising his role as J. Jonah Jameson), as well as turning in memorable performances in Jason Reitman's Juno, Mike Judge's Extract, and as a hard-nosed captain in the 2012 crime thriller Contraband. Meanwhile, in 2005, he joined the cast of TNT's popular crime drama The Closer as Assistant Chief Will Pope -- a role which no doublt played a part in the cast earning five Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Ensemble Cast. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

I am as puzzled as the rest of you about my senior years in the practice of law. Because you are reading this newsletter and participating, I suspect you too have had my experience: I have enjoyed the practice of law. I don't want to give it up! On the other hand, I am a little envious of my brethren (sisteren?) who have given it up, wholly or partially, and have leisure time on their hands.
If you are ready to give it up entirely, more power to you. Do it. Move to a warmer climate. Take up golf, or gardening, or volunteering, or reading (or writing), or the Internet. (That does sound good!)
But if you're not ready to give it up entirely, what can you do? I'm going to try this: I'm going to take off another afternoon (I already take Thursday afternoons off). I'll have to look at the court schedule and see what works best for what I do (Tuesdays look good!). I'm not giving up Saturday mornings (it's the only time I can get big projects done). I may even try going home earlier in the afternoon, particularly in the nice weather. My golf game could use it and I'm just not as effective as I used to be as the day goes on. My friend Curt told me that was true of him too.
I've never been good about taking vacations (the "amen" was from my wife) but long weekends seem pretty appealing. They even publish a magazine to inspire you, called (not surprisingly) Long Weekends. I believe it is published several times a year by Great Lakes Publishing. It provides you with a calendar of events in the Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley area, complete with maps, photographs and motivating articles. Buy it; perhaps you will be inspired. Midwest Living (also a magazine) also regularly features great destinations in the Midwest (I'm not much of a flyer either).
Admittedly, it's hard to get from the "I'm going to try" to the doing. I know from experience that I have to tell my secretary to mark the time off (no exceptions) and don't even ask me if I'm willing to make an exception for my wealthiest client. Don't even tell me about the call. It's easier if you do actually schedule something, a tee time, lunch with your wife or girlfriend (never both), or a movie. Speaking of movies, have you seen "RED"? Cindy and I saw it in the theater and both enjoyed it a lot. It's a story about retired spies (retired—extremely dangerous) and we thought it was great fun. (It's worth the price of admission just to see Helen Mirren (Queen Elizabeth) operating a .50 caliber machine gun (I don't want to get calls from you people who know these things telling me that it wasn't a .50 caliber machine gun)). I think it's no longer in theaters but it should be available as a DVD.
Make a resolution. Begin—the rest comes easy. ■

How to Get a Reliable Business Partner Easily
- by Kirsten Hale
- 5 months ago
- 0 comments
Starting a business on your own can be life-changing and difficult, but it's a great step that you can make. Even if most resources are available to you now, there are times when you need to man up and seek for a business partner. You probably heard about stories of business partnerships going down the drain. That situation can happen to you indeed, especially if you just pick partners out of a whim. Try out these strategies if you're having a hard time searching for a trustworthy business partner.
Decode the Partner's Attitude
Attitude is everything – it is the golden nugget that can make or break a person. By uncovering the real attitude of the 'prospect partner,' you can determine if you'll continue the partnership or not. Don't be convinced by what the partner is attempting to tell you – it's easy to spit words and empty promises. Rather, observe and read the actions carefully.
Share the Vision and Observe Reactions
Sometimes, it's fun to slingshot your ideas and observe who can be your worthy partners. Of course, for safety purposes, don't throw all of your ideas at once. Observe the reactions of your common friends and acquaintances. If some of them showed interest, then continue observing for more data. Jot down attitudinal strengths and weaknesses. Know their skills and determine how they can fuel your business properly.
Check the Partner's Financial State
Business is business – money is needed to generate profits in the future. One of the reasons why you need to get a business partner is additional capital to stop you from applying for lowest interest rate for personal loan in Singapore even if it comes from licensed moneylenders. The prospect partner may show interest and a great attitude, but his wallet is almost empty. On top of that, the partner is fond of making financial errors all the time. Forego that partner and look for someone who can manage finances well.It may take time before you can find a reliable business partner. Bide your time because it's better to sacrifice now rather than have your business stalled in the middle. As much as possible, make business partnerships last a lifetime.

Grottnerhof Winery
Between the 13th century walls of the Grottnerhofs, we wanted to retain and highlight the same time, that which is a 800 year old tradition. Nevertheless, we also added modern design elements which were partially designed by ourselves. The uniqueness of the closed wine court, which is a listed building, is highlighted by the presence of only two suites. Renovated under strict supervision, you will find elements of modern design in old walls that tell of a time in the 13th century, such as the "Selchküche" with its ceiling dyed black from the smoke of the fires and still functional working oven, or the authentic farmhouse. In the cellar you will still find those old wine barrels that date back to an earlier time. The Grottnerhof is located 450 m above sea level and therefore to reach it you have to descend from Völs (900 m) towards the Eisacktal Valley.

There are many methods of tick control. As they can find a way on to you, your family, your house-pets (all known as hosts), in your home and into your yard it is well worth exercising some of the ideas below to help manage ticks. These parasites can spread infection and disease through their saliva when they bite a host, and although not all ticks carry diseases, you still want to control the small parasites from causing any discomfort or irritation to your environment.
Other articles -
Tick control for people is pretty straight forward; there are just precautions you need to remember to take if you are visiting areas where ticks are prevalent. Firstly it's worth considering protective clothing - wear long pants if you are walking through tall grasses, ensure they are tucked into socks and wear appropriate footwear which will not allow parasites the chance to crawl on to the skin of your lower body. Wear a top that covers you from the waist upwards and ensure it's tucked into your pants. A hat is also a good idea if you are walking through woods or forests where these parasites may drop out of the trees. Ticks can be transported on birds and squirrels so they could quite easily be up above where you are walking or hunting. For any areas of skin that aren't covered, spray and rub in a suitably strong repellent such as Deet. Your clothes can be treated with other repellents specifically for clothing - be careful not to spray any repellents near your eyes. When returning from the outdoors, thoroughly check your clothes and skin for ticks before going back in the home.
Tick control for dogs and for cats - To control ticks on your house-pets, you could choose to avoid letting them go where the parasites may be hiding? If this isn't possible (as it isn't for a lot of people), then a healthy balanced nutritional diet, regular grooming, sanitizing their bedding, basket or kennel will all help. You could approach your local veterinarian for advice on which repellent would be best to use for your type of pet. Always be cautious with products that contain chemicals and toxins as they can be harmful (sometimes fatal) to certain animals. Never use a dog product on a cat or vice versa. Methods such as a spray, dip, shampoo, powder or tick collar could all beneficial - however seek advice on which one would be best. If you have housing specifically for your house-pet, then ensure that this is treated with a suitable and safe insecticide. Most products will help destroy a whole variety of insects. Always thoroughly check your pet for parasites before they come back into the home (behind the ears, on their paws, under the fur) and make this a regular exercise after returning from excursions. Although not all ticks carry diseases, you still want to capture and remove them from pets as soon as possible.
Home tick control - To manage ticks in the home, there are many steps you could take - some which work hand in hand with managing the yard. You will want to consider preventing any unwanted animals and pest entering your household through holes, cracks, doorways or windows. Conduct a search and fill in any gaps where small insects might crawl in. Block up holes along the floor, fill cracks in floorboards and under window sills. If mice, rats, squirrels and birds etc cannot bring parasites in, then it will only be you, your family and pets that can transport them into the house. Regular cleaning, vacuuming and disinfecting are good control methods - ensure you are targeting all bedding, upholstery and anything that remains on the floor such as rugs, mats or covers. Insecticides can be sprayed, foggers and bombs used, and powder spread throughout (certainly in the carpets) to help. Always carefully follow the instructions and understand what chemicals are being used. Make sure you aim these products into the hard to reach areas where ticks are likely to take up shelter before looking for a blood meal. Clear the areas where your pets sleep by treating them before, during and after tick season. Always check yourself and your pets for parasites before you re-enter the house.
Tick Control Yard - To control ticks in the yard, there are a wealth of techniques. Maintaining a clean and clear area is of the upmost importance. Cut the lawns and keep the grass short, sweep up any leaves and clear any rubbish. Keep dark and warm areas such as under trees, shrubs, flowers and plants clear and treated. Cut back any trees and large shrubs which are close to the house, as birds may transport parasites in and they can easily fall off and enter the home. Any permanent structures for keeping wood or outdoor equipment are better off slightly away from your house, as are bird feeders and other objects that encourage wild animals into the yard (such as garbage cans, picnic tables, vegetable patches and unmonitored food). Cut back any over grown scrub at the parameter of your property and plant natural repelling plants. If you are able to put up fencing and other blockades to discourage animals such as deer, foxes, badgers and bears - do so (this will lower the amount of potential ticks brought in). Ticks may be in your neighbors yard, so place barriers in between so that animals are discouraged to enter your property. You can treat your lawns and parameters with sprays and powders. There are many products you can purchase on the internet or why not call in your local pest control company for peace of mind and ease.

Northcutt Steele exhibit features art from Peruvian perspective
February 12, 2010
Grace Frankforter, Northcutt Steele Gallery, 657-2324
Dan Carter, University Relations, 657-2269
'Picturing Paradise' includes hand-fabricated textile artwork done by women in art cooperatives
MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — A new exhibit at the Northcutt Steele Gallery at Montana State University Billings features the hopes and dreams of Peruvian women expressed in textile art.
"Picturing Paradise" is being brought to Billings by Rebecca Berru Davis, an art instructor, curator and doctoral student from California. The exhibit features hand-fabricated textile artwork by women of the Compacto Humano, and Manos Anchashinas, two art cooperatives located in Pamplona Alta, a shanty town near Lima, Peru. Called "cuadros," the jewel-toned works use embroidery and appliqué to illustrate the daily lives of these women and express the hopes they have for themselves, their families and the world.
The exhibit will be on display in the Northcutt Steele Gallery from Feb. 19 to March 12. A presentation by Davis will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday Feb. 19 in Room 205 of the Liberal Arts building. A reception and refreshments will follow at the Northcutt Steele from 5-9 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
Davis is a doctoral student in Theology in the Area of Art and Religion at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, Calif. She has over 20 years experience as an art instructor and worked for four years as curator of education at a contemporary art museum. She became acquainted with a group of Peruvian women while doing fieldwork as an art history graduate. She commissioned work from them and collaborated with them to create this exhibit.
In addition to introducing these women and their work through venues such as church galleries and universities in several states, the cuadros are available for purchase and the funds are sent directly to the women. Cuadros will be available for sale through the MSU Billings Art Department Office throughout the duration of the show.
The Northcutt Steele Gallery, located on the first floor of the Liberal Arts building on the MSU Billings main campus, has no admission charge and is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. when school is in session.
For more information on this exhibit, contact Grace Frankforter, gallery curator, at 657-2324.

Alright, cool news. The other day some of us came upon a huge box full of new 2008-2009 copies of How To GAMIT (or, How to Get Around MIT). They're only sold at MIT in the Coop so they're relatively hard to get, but basically here's the deal. There is more information in this book about MIT than you will find anywhere else. Anywhere. I promise. And it's written completely by MIT students without help from MIT so everything written is uncensored and untouched by MIT.
They retail for $12.00, I'm selling them for $5.00 with $4.00 shipping. I've put one on ebay here:
And will keep adding them as I sell them. IF you want one, e-mail me at snively [at] MIT [dot] edu and then use the Paypal button on the right to donate $9.00. I'll go ahead and ship the book to you either next day or the day after.
Seriously, this is the best source of MIT information out there and the fact that we stumbled upon so many is pretty awesome. I'm keeping two for myself but I want to share with you guys too. Here's the ebay description I used.
The 2008-2009 edition of "How To Get Around MIT," otherwise known as How To GAMIT.
Written by MIT students for MIT students, this 383 page book is the most concise, useful, and affordable wealth of MIT information in existence. Updated every year, nothing is out of date. If you're even considering MIT as a college choice or if you have a son or daughter attending, this is probably the best source of legitimate information in existence.
I write for the MIT Admissions website, http://mitatmissions.org/Snively/shtml, and frequently use this book to help answer questions people ask me about MIT. A lot of people try to figure out what MIT is like by reading Newsweek or buying books "written with help from real students" by outside publishers, but this book is so much more than that. Honestly, don't buy anything more expensive than this, you're ripping yourself off. This book retails for $12.00.
The chapters it lists are as follows:
1) Useful Telephone Numbers
2) Emergency Information
3) Help
4) Academics
5) Medical
6) Housing
7) Law
8) Finances
9) Athletics
10) MIT Geography
11) MIT Facilities
12) Athena
13) Hacking
14) MIT Publications
15) Transportation
16) Sightseeing
17) Shopping
18) Entertainment
19) Restaurants
20) Media
21) Miscellaneous
22) Student Activities
23) Colleges Around Boston
24) Moah about Boston
25) MIT History

I'll leave you with the introduction to the book:
Welcome to MIT
You hold in your hands the very newest revision of How to Get Around MIT. I certainly hope you're happy you've got it -- I know I am. If you are reading this, chances are your life at MIT is just beginning. No matter what happens in your next n-many years here always remember Rule 0. Everything is gonna be OK.
When I was but a starry eyed frosh, I was handed my very own version of How To Get Around MIT. The cover had a very inelegant black on white title which proudly proclaimed that the book was thirty percent thinner than the previous version. I didn't really know how fewer pages was relevant to my ability to get around MIT and I was just annoyed to receive another bloody thing meant to indoctrinate me into the Institute. I dismissed the book as propaganda meant to be half useful and half a 300 page sycophant that in its indecision became entirely useless. Fortunately for all of us working on it and you kind folk, I was wrong.
How to GAMIT (as those in the know like to call it) is entirely student produced as well as financially independent. Because How To GAMIT does not take any handouts from the institute, these students are free to tell you the truth as they see it. Its staff has long since been embittered by countless caffeine fueled all-nighters, brutal exams, and hung over mornings, much like you will soon endure. Facts are a dime a dozen in this modern internet age, so we are offering you something better -- real advice, service with a laugh, a smirk, and a story. How to GAMIT is a snapshot of MIT life and culture taken by all of us who are trapped on the inside.
If you find the book to be a great resource and would like to help out next year, we'd love your assistance. If you find errors in this book send me an e-mail at email@example.com. They will get fixed for the next version.
Good Luck.

Michelle was kind enough to tolerate my ridiculous "interview" questions:
Q. How old were you when you first kissed someone?
A. I was twelve in a group of friends playing "spin the bottle." I had to kiss a boy -ewe! It was just plain awkard in the middle of puberty.
Q. Do you have any pets?
A. I run with 3 dainty toy poodles and a peekapoo. Two of them are granny poodles.
Q. What are your hobbies? How do you spend your time?
A. I make sock creatures and enjoy domestic endeavers. I can easily entertain myself. I also like to write and dabble as a novice in digital art.
Q. If you had three wishes, would you be one of those people who wished for more wishes? Or would you just take the three and be happy?
A. I would take three and be happy.
Q. When did you stop coloring?
A. I haven't. I really like coloring mandalas. There are two local artists who make coloring books that are awesome: Emily Rosell and Sue Coccia.
Q. Do you sew?
A. Yes - a bit too much. I'm obsessed with it and often have to force myself to do other activities.
Q. If you could start a business doing anything in the world - what would it be?
A. I'd have a trendy little store front in Seattle where I would sell my line of sock creatures and plush - including crazy soft sculptured dioramas.
I would also lead expiditions around the world searching for the potato bunny. Now that would be cool!

Rhubarb seems to be one of those foods that people either love or hate. I love it, but I didn't feel like using it for strawberry-rhubarb pie, the pie that introduced me to rhubarb.
Instead, I decided to make a pie whose filling is essentially a rhubarb fool. The pie itself is easy to prepare, but because each of the components requires time to chill, it won't provide instant gratification. Some things, however, are worth the wait.
Graham cracker crust:
Mix 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press into a buttered pie pan and chill for at least an hour.
(Alternatively, you can use a single pie crust, baked "blind". One way to do this that will keep the crust from puffing away from the pan is to put a second pie pan on top of the pie pan with the crust in it. After baking, cool the crust completely.)
Foolish rhubarb filling:
Wash, trim, and thinly slice 1 pound of rhubarb. Place the rhubarb slices, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1/3 cup brown sugar into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb softens and the mixture thickens.
Put the rhubarb in the fridge to chill. Meanwhile, put the bowl and beater(s) you plan on using to whip the cream into the freezer.
When the bowl is nice and cold, beat 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the point where it holds its shape but isn't lumpy and over-beaten.
To assemble:
Fold the rhubarb into the whipped cream. You want to have distinct ribbons of rhubarb running through the cream. Gently spread the mixture in the chilled crust, and chill for at least another hour.
Do not be wounded by the taunts of the rhubarb haters in the vicinity -- it just means more pie for you.


text: A sober study by a clinical psychologist of the destructive legacy that narcissistic parents bequeath to their children and the troubling characteristics those children share as adults. Narcissists behave, Golomb says, as if they are the center of the universe, organizing their lives around denial of negative feelings about themselves. Their children, forced to conform to parental thinking, grow up with a range of subtle emotional disabilities, most commonly a distorted view of their capacities. All too frequently this damaged sense of self-worth interferes with their search for autonomy, their performance, and with their other adult relationships. Golomb, child of a narcissistic father, gives examples from the lives of friends and patients, as well as from her own experiences, and shows how these strained views of reality can be passed along from one generation to the next or can shadow an entire family's happiness. She is particularly adept in discussing why some people persist in the most puzzling behaviors (bankrolling one lover after another, for example) and how they see and defend these patterns. Although Golomb has experimented with meditation techniques and group treatment, she finds psychoanalytic psychotherapy the most consistently helpful set of strategies and suggests ways for adults to approach narcissistic parents and to change the nature of these relationships. ""Narcissism is a tale of codependency,"" she observes. ""If we want to be treated in a different way, the change in treatment must start with how we present ourselves to [narcissists]."" Golomb writes in language more accessible to other therapists than to general readers, unleavened by humor, and without a specific agenda. But difficult as her approach may be, it's sound and ultimately rewarding as well.

What does a photographer do when times are tough and competition is stiff? Those who survive use their imaginations and offer a little something extra. This is certainly what professionals did during the postcard craze of the early 1900s.
The beginning of the 20th century was an exciting time for photography. In 1884 George Eastman developed a method of developing dry gel on paper, replacing the need for bulky photographic plates.
In 1901 the Kodak Brownie camera was marketed to the public, ushering in a whole new era in photography. A year later the Eastman Kodak Company started marketing photographic paper formatted as postcards.
The real photo postcard was born.
Once the world of photography was open to anyone who could afford a modest investment in a Brownie, professionals had to offer more than an ordinary snapshot or portrait. The imaginative result was a combination of art and photography on the easy-to-mail, now highly collectible postcard.
One gimmick was to offer a fanciful setting. The most popular was a moon with stars or clouds in the background. The client would sit on the moon, possibly made of wood since people actually seem to be supported on these uncomfortable perches. Who wouldn't want to send friends a postcard of the first man or woman on the moon? One "moon" card in my collection even shows two women with boxes of Jell-O, utilizing a clever idea as advertising.
A favorite device was to provide a painted or wooden figure with a hole for a real person's head. (I recently saw the same setup outdoors at a zoo.) Some early ones were painted on canvas with a place for the subject to stick his or her head. Others were more elaborate wooden figures based on the same idea. Fairs, expositions, and amusement parks often promoted the sale of souvenir photographic postcards using "stick-your-head-here" props, a practice that hasn't entirely died out.
A person didn't have to go to a studio or an amusement area to get a photo postcard that was a little out of the ordinary. Both professional and homemade photos could be developed with fancy borders or added artwork, making them a little more special. Artists drew flowers, leaves and natural features like trees and landscapes to provide eye-catching borders. The photographs were usually shown as an oval or a circle, although more fanciful shapes were used too.
Even ordinary stare-at-the-camera photos are fun to collect when the card is decorated in imaginative ways.
If the postcard was never mailed—and many weren't—the trade name is an aide to dating. Kodak's first advised stock paper had Velox printed in the stamp area. Azo was added in 1904. The Cyko marking belonged to the Ansco Company in the same era.
"Prairie Fires and Paper Moons" by Hal Morgan and Andreas Brown (1981) has a discussion of the dating and making of real photo postcards in addition to many rare images. Serious collectors will want to find this benchmark book. It pretty much started the modern craze for old photo cards.
Barbara Andrews has authored several popular novels and is a long-time, avid postcard collector and columnist.

Update: We've got a roundup of national stories mentioning the Patriots as well as a look at various Power Rankings and where the Pats stand over on the BSMW Game Day page.
Michael Felger says that Randy Moss was not worth the risk for the Patriots. The team would've been guilty of a double-standard had they acquired him, and if they weren't going to extend themselves for Deion Branch, why do it for Moss? David Brown says that the Patriots made the right move in not making a move for Moss. Felger also features a snapshot of "Mr Patriot" – Troy Brown. Mike Reiss sizes up the AFC East after six weeks of play.
Glen Farley notes that of the "Fab Four" of big name players who left the Patriots in the last calendar year, only Deion Branch is having an impact on his new club. Albert Breer looks at Asante Samuel, who takes pride in working hard, getting better and being more physical out on the field. The results thus far have shown it.
All the talk about FieldTurf for Gillette stadium turned out to be for naught. Despite the NESN report earlier, Howard Ulman of the AP noted that league rules prohibit teams from changing from a natural surface to an artificial surface during the season. John Tomase says that the team did explore going to FieldTurf this year.
Reiss' notebook has more on the field issue, as well as a look at Samuel and at Buffalo digging out from under an early snowstorm. Farley's notebook looks at the success that the Patriots have traditionally enjoyed following the bye week.
Playing without Captain Paul Pierce once again, the Celtics came short to the tune of 116-108 (AP Story) in last night's preseason game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. You can pick up some more coverage of the night over on the New York City Sports Pages.
Steve Bulpett looks at Sebastian Telfair's return to his hometown last night, and also at the rumors of hard feelings between he and his cousin, Stephon Marbury. Telfair did his best to put to rest those rumors. Shira Springer also looks at Telfair's night in NY. The Celtics play their first home game of the preseason at TD Banknorth Garden tonight. Fans at the game will get their first look at the new High Definition scoreboard that was installed over the summer. The Associated Press has an article on it, and also has team owner Wyc Grousbeck preaching patience when it comes to this young Celtics squad. Bulpett's notebook has a look at another impressive performance from Rajon Rondo.
Jeff Goldberg looks at Theo Epstein meeting with the media to discuss the offseason and confirming that he has signed his contract with the team. Nick Cafardo has more from Epstein. Jeff Horrigan also reports on the press conference, which touched on a number of topics, but didn't really go into depth on any of them. Bill Ballou examines the challenge facing Epstein and the Red Sox – develop for the future, but also try to win now. Alex Speier notes that an improved American League will make it tougher for the Red Sox to return to the postseason in 2007. Mike Fine has Terry Francona talking about new pitching coach John Farrell.
Jon Couture examines the Steve Lyons situation, but also announcing in general, the challenges of it, and why the good ones are so rare. Alan Seigel says that the San Francisco Chronicle reporters facing jail time for refusing reveal the source of leaked sealed grand jury testimony are getting a raw deal. Jim Donaldson wonders why college sports have turned so ugly. Stan Grossfeld looks at Duquesne players dealing with the aftermath of last month's campus shooting.
Stephen Harris says that with 8 of their next 9 games at home, the Bruins need to get themselves on track. Bob Duffy has Bruins coach Dave Lewis offering some praise to his fourth line. The BSMW Power Play is back online, and Mike Dunshee has a look at the early returns on this edition of the Bruins. Harris' notebook has a look at the start from rookie Phil Kessel, who just needs to work on being able to finish plays a little better.
FSN has Celtics/Nets at 7:30. FOX has Mets/Cardinals at 8:00.

I believe in enjoying. As a boy, I struggled to socialize with others because I fought with everyone. Then, my father gave me a lesson which totally changed my life. The lesson was nothing but a word, "Enjoy".
When I entered Elementary School, I could not get along with other kids because of my hostility. On the second day of school, I knocked two front teeth out of a second grader. My teacher then slapped my face in front of all my classmates. I was extremely angry and embarrassed. I fought almost everyday. I wanted to show defiance to the teacher. I totally hated school. One day, I was on my way out to school wearing a frown, and as my father was walking out the door with me to go to work, he greeted me in a different manner than usual. "Enjoy, son" was what he said. When I first heard him, I said to myself, 'What do you mean enjoy? School is no fun.' However, he kept the greeting for about a year and by listening to him saying it everyday, I actually started to consider what he said and tried to fix my problems. I tried to be friendly. I tried to have fun. I worked hard in school. Even when the teacher yelled at me, I took it as an encouragement. Even when I lost in a soccer game, I smiled. After several years, I found myself running to school every morning just dying to see my friends as soon as possible, and asking my mom if I could bring my friends over to my house after school. I started to think that school is one of the most fun places in the world. I never even thought that it was possible to have fun in school, but my father's everyday comment changed my attitude significantly. Since I learned how to enjoy, I have become a kid with energy, confidence and outgoing personality. My father, by telling me to enjoy everything I do, gave me the perspective to have positive attitudes on things I do, and to think positively. His daily comment has become my motto these days, and I always try to be positive even in the most desperate situations.
As a freshman in college, I realize that now is the time for me to prepare myself to face the real world. If I keep a firm and positive attitude, I know I am ready to take the big step forward as a student, and as a young adult. Even if the word 'enjoy' seems just as simple as the word 'hello', hearing the word daily through my childhood gave me the most important lesson of my life. I believe that if I keep enjoying, I will keep developing as a person.

Jelem by the Rom group, the Kolpakov Trio, from Moscow (jelem.wav,

Elena Marushiakova and Vesselin Popov in their study of the song, provide
the following history:
The melody of this song became popular in Europe in the end of the 60's
from Alexander Petrovic's film Skupljaci perja(The
Buyer of Feathers) known under the name I Have Met Some Happy Gypsies.
There was a meeting of Comité International Tsigane in April 8-12,
1971 in London, attended by Gypsies from different countries, which became
th First World Roma Congress. The Congress decided to form a new international
Gypsy organisation. Later on, at the Second Congress in 1978 in Geneva,
this organisation took the name Romani Ekhipe or Romani Union. As Donald
Kenrick remembers, Jarko Jovanovic and Dr. Jan Cibula prepared a new text
for the popular melody during the Congress. In its new variant the song
"Gelem, Gelem" was liked by everyone, it was unanimously accepted as the
Congress song and the Congress ended with it.
One of the decisions of the Congress was "to have an international competition
for the words and music of an international Romani anthem" and it was this
song that actually became the anthem. At the international meetings and
congresses which followed the "Romani Anthem" was already taken for granted
and was gradually accepted by the Gypsy organisations in the European countries
and by public opinion. Its universal acceptance was assisted by the fact
that the song "Djelem, Djelem" was included in the records of the popular
Yugoslavian singer aban Bairamovic in the 80's which inspired new folklore
variants. The song became popular as an "anthem" among Gypsies from various
countries (mainly in Eastern Europe), but it did not replace the numerous
folklore variants which were already in existence.**

Well the American people have spoken. Obama has been re-elected, but what did we get by re-electing Obama? President Joe Biden. I also hope the Main Stream Media is patting itself on the back by hiding the facts about the Benghazi cover up, Fast and Furious gun running, FEMA and Hurricane Sandy. It borders on criminal what the media has done. Any way back to my original point, President Joe Biden. In the coming weeks Congress will be holding hearings about Benghazi, and the truth will come out. There are too many people that know what went on. The other BIG story that has yet to be reported is the Ft. Hood workplace violence (terrorist attack). This isn't being covered in the media either. We the people NEED to start demanding the media tell the truth about Benghazi, FEMA failures, Ft. Hood, Fast and Furious, and on and on.
The reason the Freedom of the Press was built into the constitution, is for the press (media) to be OUR watchdog. To expose the shady things going on in the government. The MSM has sat on their hands and has done everything in their power to keep the American people in the dark. What happened to the press that exposed Watergate? At least in Watergate no one died unlike Benghazi where we have 4 Americans dead, while the MSM said nothing about the fact that the administration LIED. To blame the deaths of four Americans on a YouTube video for 3 weeks, then information comes out that the Ambassador had asked for more security THIRTEEN times and was denied, or that the White House and State department watched the attack real time. That tells me they knew what was going on immediately, but continued to lie to the American people.
So by the law of averages you have at least one friend or relative that voted for Obama, congratulate them when Biden is sworn into office.

MACCIUS offers world-class email and collaboration hosting, designed to maximize employee efficiency and productivity. Only the most basic email packages can be implemented in-house without overtaxing your IT department and relying on them to react quickly during off-hours in the instance of unforeseen failures. Capital expenditures are great when enterprises implement a secure email service in-house, and the hiring of specialized staff is a strain on the IT budget.
When MACCIUS hosts your email and collaboration applications, you enjoy our dedicated staff serving as an extension of your team 24/7/365 to protect your sensitive information from viruses and other threats, including directory harvest attacks. A multi-layered defense is what you need to mitigate risk and optimize runtime.
The following further explains the vast benefits of outsourcing email and application hosting:
Reliability and Backup - MACCIUS provides email reliability and expertise that few companies can build on their own. Our infrastructure includes Network Appliance redundant storage, coupled with our fault-tolerant Sun Network providing 99.9% uptime for your business. MACCIUS' infrastructure has been in place since 1998 and handles over a billion messages per month for 200,000+ domains. Peace of mind with our data backup means your critical business communications are never in peril and are always available.
Faster, More Flexible Deployment - Hosted services allow enterprises to launch the rollout process to all locations at the same time, so there are no inconsistencies among key employees, regardless of location. With all hosted solutions from MACCIUS, there is a rapid deployment of services, so a new application or feature can be made available immediately to all branches.
Full-Feature Convenience - MACCIUS provides a full set of email features that are promptly made available to you and your business. Access your mail from the web on any browser, on any platform, or use your favorite email application with our POP and IMAP services. Centralized storage of information enables anytime access to critical data and uncomplicated collaboration.
Virus and Spam Protection - MACCIUS Total Protection provides protection for you and your business against harmful computer viruses and costly spam. Our virus software is updated hourly to keep new viruses away from your inbox. Our SpamShield product, along with our active protection systems, keeps spam and directory service attacks away from your servers and your inbox.
Geographic Coverage - Global organizations must insist on a solutions provider, such as MACCIUS, to ensure wide geographic coverage with unlimited scalability. Even those who are predominately based in a single country may find themselves wanting to hire remote employees in other parts of the world, or make products or services available to international customers.
Affordable Scalability - MACCIUS services scale as you grow, ensuring enough space for your increase in data, through all stages of expansion. We offer a flexible solution to allow you to easily upgrade as storage needs increase, without costly upgrades or new equipment.
Better Forecasting - MACCIUS provides a fixed subscription model that is predictable and affordable. Our fully managed hosting means you do not have to account for system maintenance or unforeseen repair costs, so your true expenditures are always known. Our plans start at under $3 per user per month, which is far less than hosting your own email system.
IT Efficiency - When centralized system management is performed by MACCIUS, your in-house IT resources can be better utilized, as their expertise remains focused on other areas. Outsourced email hosting eliminates the need for additional in-house database and systems security administration.
Compliance - In-house, bare-bones email systems are not secure, and when privacy is an utmost consideration due to an enterprise's responsibility to comply with FISMA, SOX, PCI DSS or HIPPA guidelines, they must employ a secure system that produces detailed login audit trails, along with trails of all sent and received messages.
Bolstered Business Image - Hosted solutions are not tied to any one location and can be accessed over any infrastructure, using any device. This means that power outages, natural disasters and man-made strikes do not threaten your ability to communicate with customers or hamper your team's ability to interface. When communication lines are impaired, your brand suffers.
Multiple Plans - MACCIUS has plans for individuals, businesses, ISP and web sites. Select the plan that is right for you, and let us take care of your email and collaboration.
We are on hand to assist entities of all sizes in enhancing productivity and reducing IT infrastructure costs. Allow our dedicated team of experts to provide an effective email solution equipped to guide you to the higher level of communication, efficiency and collaboration you demand.

Night Owls for Spaces In-Between
These images are from a commission from the first issue of a beauuuutiful new European magazine called Spaces In-Between. I was hired to create an essay on LA Women at night with a bit of a noir feel and, honestly, I wish I had another week or two to work on it (I only had a couple nights as it was and a lot of my contacts fell through). I personally am not a big night owl and I actually enjoyed getting to tag along with a group of girlfriends one night as they wandered popular LA bars and then with a bartender another night and getting to peer into a scene I'm not a part of here. I also did some solo wandering along the beach at night and on the pier just willing with my mind for women to step into the ambient light lining the streets of the night.

Some plans for building soap box racers include such styles as stock cars, super stock cars and scotties. Available from the All-American Soap Box Derby (AASBD), the international governing body of soap box racing, these plans comply with all rules for building cars raced in sanctioned events. However, there are hundreds of other designs for both chassis and body.
While some plans call for a metal frame, modern soap box cars are still usually at least partially wooden. However, most follow AASBD rules for wheel and axle types, construction and maximum weight, depending on division. They are modeled after the wooden first soap box racers, built from crates used to ship soap, which had four wheels and no motor or sophisticated steering system. Known as "gravity racers," their speed depends on a sloping course and a push start.
Body decorations on homemade soap racers can vary widely as long as the car meets safety requirements and maximum racing weight. However, kit cars have evolved a streamlined design constructed on a wooden chassis with regulation axles and wheels. Stock cars built according to AASBD standards are designed for drivers ages 7 to 13, who are up to 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 125 pounds, for a combined racing weight of 200 pounds. Super stock cars are built for drivers ages 9 to 18, up to 6 feet tall and weighing 150 pounds, for a combined weight of 240 pounds. Scotties, cars raced in the Masters division at 255 pounds, are built for drivers 10 to 20 years old, up to 6 feet tall and weighing 160 pounds.

When is War Justified?
It makes me sick that 4,266 Americans (as of April 2009 so even more now), 31,102 wounded American (as of April 2009) and a countless number of Iraqi and Afghanistan Citizens have died because we believed the Vichy Government and Vichy Media that the Iraqis had weapons of mass destruction or WMD's and Afghanistan somehow supported the terrorists. And now we are on the verge of getting entangled in Iraq again, when will it end?
None of these countries declared war on the United States or attacked us. In fact, if you believe the the governments explanation for 9/11 (which I don't, for the record) all of the attackers were from Saudi Arabia, a country considered an ally. A country that we have never sanctioned, nor attacked for their supposed attack against us. We've been there for 10 long years now, when will it end?
Now, we have the same Vichy Government and the same Vichy Media hyping up the supposed nuclear weapons capability of Iran and now we are in Libya. Are you going to fall for the same lies that the same liars fed us only a few years ago? Has Libya attacked us, has Libya declared war on us? NO.
It used to be that the Congress had to give permission for any war that was started, now it seems that they can go to war for any reason at all. All they have to do is spread out some BS message that the other side is just thinking of attacking us or that we are helping in some supposed humanitarian relief.
I believe that there are reasons to go to war. If a country threatens us, attacks us or attacks one of our allies then war may be justified. But, if a war is declared I think the acid test is whether that conflict warrants your son or your daughter's life. It's always easy to send someone else' son or daughter to a foreign land to be killed, when it is your own flesh and blood it is a whole other story! In addition, any congressman or congresswoman who votes for war, their children should be put on the front lines. I'm tired of seeing innocent men and women killed based on lies. I'm tired of seeing the poor who have fewer options than the rich paying the price of our apathy and ignorance. Oh, I am sure some of you will argue that we have a voluntary draft so no one is being forced to sign up for the military but when we have a high unemployment rate and even higher unemployment rate for minorities, little or no money for advanced education and few other options then the military starts looking pretty good.
In the end, we have to ask ourselves; is it the moral thing, is it the right thing to participate either through sending our sons and daughters to die overseas for lies, or by supporting the war machine, is that what God would have us do? Whatever happened to THOU SHALT NOT MURDER? For some strange reason a lot of people think that war is exempt. That to support an illegal, immoral war is OK with God...NO, it's still MURDER when it is not in self defense. I know of so many Christians who support these wars without much thought to what it is they are supporting, they are willfully ignorant. Will God just look the other way? Are you exempt from his laws?
If we lived in Nazi Germany would it be honorable to sign up to serve the Nazi regime? How about the Roman Empire? If not, why not? Even if your children are not fighting in these wars, your money is supporting them. How long will we be used by the military industrial complex for their own agenda?
It's time that we as Christians stop allowing the powers that be to manipulate us into supporting every conflict they present to us. It's time that we stop sending our sons and daughters into these unethical, immoral wars. It's time to say enough is enough.
Do you think we should be in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Great post Brie,
I just finished a tirade of a hub last night called
"the energy cartels lust for oil and conquest"
I firmily believe we are fighting in afghanistan to secure a corridor for the energy cartels to ship central asian oil and gas to the exploding indian market.
why else would the military be banging their heads against a wall like that, year after bloddy year.
I feel like the military is a special business envoy of the energy cartels. all these issues like alternative energy are connected to life and death for actual people.
YOUR poll (75% against)refects other numbers Ive heard about the wars in terms of public opinion.
NOW is the heat of the moment for opposition, or rather we should me make it that way! we have the public on our side, the side of sanity!!
Eh, I can't keep up with economy and political things, so I have a hard time understanding this. Either way, I do not believe in war at ALL. I mean, if someone attacked us, then we'd need to defend ourselves, but like you said, WERE we attacked? WAS war declared on us?
Brie, I also read a lengthy report of the WMD's that were found in a tunnel under the Euphrates River, a carved-out warehouse full of WMD's. A USAF special task force found them during our initial invasion. However, before we could get enough men to secure the site they were carried off to Syria.
More terrifying, were records that Saddam had 20 suitcase nukes that also disappeared. Note how not one peep of these things were mentioned in the media.
Could a terrorist cross the border from Mexico into the US with a suitcase nuke?
I agree with your hub and likewise suspect that 911 was orchestrated to justify invading Iraq and these other countries. But why? I offer the following considerations:
1. We no longer have constitutional representation. Rather we have a congress, a lawless and rogue self-serving gang of reprobate suits clothed in the color of law, whoring not only the blood of their ancestors and countrymen, but also to the highest bidder the fleecing of the greatest nation in world history; our future also.
2. Are not our (America's War on Terror) actions more about forcing unwilling government's to obey and participate in the United Nations so that the worshippers of power and money can usher in their New World Order?
3. America, founded by Christians who gave us a government suitable ONLY for a righteous and moral people, has turned away from God to worship money, power, perverted sex, drugs, and other disobedience. Now God is turning his back on America giving us corrupt leaders and national/international problems without resolution.
Satan tempted Jesus offering to give him all the kingdoms of the world in exchange that Jesus worship him. Satan said, "All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it." (Lk 4:5,6)
Satan has been roaming the earth as a lion devouring the "god wannabes," those willing to trade their soul to live sumptuously, comforted by the wealth and power of his false charity; people high in government, business and media..."whomsoever I will, I give it."
It is prophesy that the nations of the world shall come together as one and worship the beast. There shall be wars and rumors of wars. Take heart for we are merely in this world that one may sew and another reap; the harvest of the world to come.
War is terrible in any case but yet another consideration it is machine that makes vast amounts of money for manufacturing of arms and equipment. Little attention seems to fall back on those sitting in fancy offices and departments who are the real decision makers.
There is a pattern of this happening throughout our wars with other countries.
There are plenty of incidents where we were attacked .We knew we would be and we knew when an where,because we had an incredable intelligence network,that seemingly failed.Take World war two.We knew the japanese were going to bomb pearl Harbor in Hawaii.We let it happen as a way to get America into the war.That is only one example.
Ah, but for the good old days centuries ago when kings actually led the charge into battle. But you misunderstand the concept of modern warfare, Brie. Today, we wage war not to defeat an enemy but to make money. War stimulates the economy and creates jobs. During WWII -- the last legitimate war -- the unemployment rate in the U.S. was 1.5 percent. In fact, the last time Congress formally declared war was in 1941. All these other skirmishes (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq I & II, Afghanistan) have been for economic gain. We were and are nothing more than highly paid mercenaries fighting under the guise of "freedom." Now is this moral, you ask. Of course not. But that's why Christ is planning His return. There is the quandary Vladimir presents of freeing a people subjected to tyranny. Does this justify being the world's policeman? I think not.
The problem is, we ARE kept in the dark about the MOTIVES behind the MADNESS. I can know this for sure; it all comes down to the control of money and the populace. So many scapegoats, but God is paying attention. That's why the blood of the martyrs remains on the hands of those who are responsible for causing their deaths.
terrific hub
I agree with you Brie that our soldiers should come home now.
In the contrary I do know Saddam had mass destruction weapons. There was general Georgsada here in US who is now Christians who testified there were there. They hid them under the river Euphrates tunnels later moved to Syria. I lived in the dictators, many of them and you do not have an idea what meant to us when we were freed by US soldiers.
I will be greatful forever.
In Iraq there are growing churches especially in Curds like 1000 new churches. People need to have chance to hear gospel.
Now soldiers may go home. But I am aware it is simple to talk, than done.
Thank you for Hub.
