2015 cruise
A cruise from the UK to the Baltic sounds fantastic. Cruising is one of the best ways to spend a holiday and combining it with family history just tops it all off.
Baltic Sea Cruise
My husband and I and a couple of friends did a family history cruise with Legacy from the UK to the Baltic and the cruise was fantastic. Such interesting places to visit.

I was eight years old when my father took me to my first Seahawks game way back in 1983. Even though three decades have passed, and everything about myself and the team that I adore has changed, my memories of that day are in 1080p. First seeing the Kingdome as we drove into town on I-90, the impossibly cavernous environment inside the dome itself, and screaming. SO much screaming. One the best life lessons my father ever imparted to me was: "When the other team has the ball, SCREAM."
When I was eight, being given PERMISSION to scream myself hoarse was like being allowed to eat ice cream for dinner while watching Popeye cartoons (I was an odd kid). I was delirious with joy, and the moment the New England Patriots took the field for warm-ups that day I started SHRIEKING at them. Then, as now, moderation was a problem area for me. My father finally convinced me that I at least had to settle down when our Seahawks had the ball- But when the Patriots had it I was a 60-pound roaring demon, and when Seattle won to reach the playoffs for the first time ever, I felt like I had been more than a mere spectator. I had helped push the Hawks to victory, and a Twelve was born.
Just over 30 years later, only yards away from where I was then, it felt like all those years of Twelving were reaching the most dramatic of climaxes. I was standing in a different stadium, the team was decked out in vastly different uniforms- Hell, I had even switched genders- But one thing was familiar: I had an 8-year-old's feeling of wide-eyed anticipation, and I was going to express myself the same way I did then. When the other team had the ball, I was going to scream.
The problem was that thirty more years of life experience also weighed upon me. When I was eight, I didn't truly understand the consequences of a Seahawks loss. I was sad when those '83 Hawks lost in the AFC Championship Game, but I was also convinced that they'd just win the next Super Bowl. Easy-peasy. I went into last Sunday's NFC Championship Game with the terrible, crippling awareness that a loss to the hated San Francisco 49ers would not only end the greatest season in franchise history- It would also irrevocably taint it. The "2013 NFC West Champions" banner would ring as hollow and evoke as much bitterness as its 2004 cousin (which is a constant reminder of our trilogy of failure against the Rams that season). Win, and go to the Super Bowl. Lose, and tumble into pitch-black, shiveringly-cold oblivion with the cackling of your most despicable enemy echoing in your years as you tumble into forlorn nothingness.
The atmosphere at Seahawks Stadium last Sunday was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before (Here's all my pics from my visit to Washington State, by the way). 90 minutes before kickoff the tension was nearly unbearable. Richard Sherman made a point to run through the 49ers and past their fans during warm-ups, and Ricardo Lockette got into a minor yelling/shoving match with a San Francisco player as well. Down at the Seahawks tunnel, there was a parade of various celebrities- There's Macklemore! There's Roger Goodell! There's Dr. Dre! There's Dave Krieg! (OK, that last one is probably only a big deal to us old school Twelves) This was the biggest game the Seattle Seahawks had ever or would ever play at home, and everyone in attendance seemed to understand that.
I was on the edge of madness. Every time I saw someone in 49ers gear rage swelled within me, but I found a great coping mechanism in "shunning" them Dwight Schrute style, and I consoled myself with the notion that they'd all head home slouching and defeated. I did my best to save my energy for the game, but I couldn't resist the urge to rain boos upon Harbaugh and his charges as they took the field. As Phil Dawson booted the opening kickoff, I knew the three most stressful hours of my life had begun. After Russell Wilson fumbled on the game's first snap, the only thing that kept me from absolutely freaking out was screaming at Colin Kaepernick. I blocked out all my nagging doubts by shouting down the rational and contemplative voices in my head. I was no longer a person. I was a Wolf Grey Bullhorn.
Down on the field, the Seahawks did their best to absorb the vicious blows being landed by the loathsome (but talented) 49ers. Even after falling behind 10-0, the Hawks didn't panic, and more importantly they stayed true to their identity. They still knew that if they played their best game, victory would be theirs. After that initial miscue, Russell Wilson avoided game-changing mistakes and produced two explosive plays that helped push Seattle to victory. His 51-yard bomb to Doug Baldwin after a lengthy scramble led to Seattle's first points and his 35-yard 4th-and-7 missile to Jermaine Kearse would put the Hawks ahead for good in the final quarter. The WolfBadger outplayed Kaepernick, but the Offensive MVP was (once again) Marshawn Lynch. He posted the first 100-yard rushing performance against San Francisco all season, and his 40-yard dash for a TD in the 3rd quarter pulled the Hawks level with SF- and set up the 25 most stressful minutes of football the Twelve Army has ever endured.
Kapernick responded with his last big play of the day- A jump-pass strike to Boldin that BARELY got past Earl Thomas and gave the lead back to San Francisco. Angry Doug Baldwin replied with a 69-yard kickoff return (part of a career day for number 89: 106 yards receiving and 109 yards on kickoff returns) to set up a field goal. After Big Balls Pete eschewed a 53-yard field goal attempt and Wilson cashed in with that touchdown bomb to Kearse, it was up to the Seattle defense to hold the lead and send the Hawks to New Jersey.
Even though they allowed 17 points and a handful of maddening Kaepernick sprints on broken plays, in the 4th quarter the Seahawks defense showed the fifty-five million watching at home why they are the best in football. First, a Cliff Avril strip-sack that was scooped up by Michael Bennett (Both Avril and Bennett applied harrowing pressure to Kapernick all day, and Seattle's front seven held 49er running backs to 31 yards on 17 carries- Led by Bobby Wagner's 15 tackles). Then, a Kam Chancellor interception of Kaepernick that led to the field goal that extended Seattle's lead to six points (Bam Bam would make 11 tackles, knock down two passes, and give Vernon Davis all-new nightmare fuel). There were three minutes and change left, and one more defensive stop would put the Seahawks in XLVIII.
I was mentally and physically exhausted up in Section 325 by that point, but I somehow squeezed a few more minutes of noise out of my wheezing lungs. I'd love to tell you I was supremely confident, but as the Niners moved deeper and deeper into Seattle territory fright spread through my mind like an infection. Thoughts flashed through my head- Can I get out of the Stadium fast enough to avoid seeing those Emperors of Fucksville celebrate on our field? How would I get back to the light rail without talking to anyone? How depressing is my flight home going to be? Even as these thoughts clouded my mind, I yelled. I screamed. I roared. That was my only tether to some semblance of sanity.
My seats are up in the south end zone, next to the Twelfth Man Flag. They're not the best seats, but sometimes they give me a perspective you don't get watching on TV. With 30 seconds left, the Niners lined up at our 18-yard-line. From where I sat, I could see Richard Sherman was covering Michael Crabtree. Once the ball was snapped, Avril pressured Kaepernick into a slightly hurried throw and I thought "OH SHIT! He threw at Sherm!" For a split second, I thought Sherman would pick the ball off, but we all know what happened next:
Or, as many have posted on various social media platforms:
Sherman's acrobatics quite literally saved Seattle's season, and at this moment stands as the most important individual effort on a single play in franchise history. Not only did he have the athletic ability to reach the ball, but he had the skill and situational awareness to tip the ball to teammate Malcom Smith. If those aren't the ingredients that produce an NFL DPOY award, I'm not sure what would.
In an instant I shifted from pre-emptive depression to the most boundless joy imaginable. The Seahawks win! The Seahawks beat the Niners! THE SEAHAWKS ARE GOING TO THE FUCKING SUPER BOWL!!!!! At the moment, I knew that I was experiencing the best it could EVER get at a Seahawks home game. This was it. This was better than my first game. It was better than being there for Steve Largent's last NFL game. It was better than the last regular season game at the Kingdome, or seeing Romo drop the snap, or even the 2005 NFC Championship Game. I have been at dozens of Seahawks home games over the last 30 years, but there's no way another game in Seattle will ever top the 2013 NFC Championship Game. The Hawks battled their fiercest rival with a Super Bowl berth on the line, and both teams played magnificently. With a huge chunk of the nation watching, the Seahawks (and the Twelve Army) prevailed and proved their quality.
There will be plenty of time over the next 10 days to talk about the post-game hysteria swirling around Richard Sherman, and our history with the Denver Broncos, and Super Bowl XLVIII itself. But it's OK to just look back and marvel at what we just saw, and what our team has already accomplished this season. The Twelve Army has never been louder than it was on Sunday. Those of us at Seahawks Stadium exhausted ourselves- We left it on the field for all of you, and once again the effort paid off. Perhaps Niners fans should consider emulating our behavior at Levi's Stadium, rather than making smug pronouncements about how they're too "classy" to attempt to affect the outcome by making noise. Us Twelves all have a little Dick Sherman in us: We're more concerned about winning games than your approval.
And this team- Have you ever loved a Seahawks team more than you love these guys? They're talented, confident, compelling, unconventional, appealing, fun to watch... and fucking COOL. How weird is that? The Seahawks are COOL. And now they're one more victory away from professional immortality - Obviously, I think the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl, but last Sunday was a memory worth framing, regardless of the XLVIII outcome. Shit, I already did:
What do you think, sirs?

Peace Family. Sorry I have been gone for a minute but we're back.
In recent years there has been a lot of information that has surfaced on the net about Kamitic/Kemetic spirituality, Jesus and the Council of Nicea. So much so, truth seekers are at odds with each other and/or confused as to where they want to go. Zealous truth seekers are so excited about what they have learned, that they are ready to intellectual "blaze" anyone even their own grandma, which is understandable but it is wrong because you're doing yourself and others who could benefit from your growth spiritually a disservice. So, to prevent this Kamitic/Kemetic spirituality thing from being turned into a new fundamentalist movement, I was inspired using my experience to set give some pointers on how to make the transition, before going out and as Bob Marley says, "Catch a fire" on everyone and everything.
1. It must be understood that the reason why you know what you know is because at this point in your growth (evolution) , the religion in question has not or is not serving you like it should be. There's a snag that has caused a major rift or tear in your belief system, your paradigm and this is why you are here reading this today. This is the reason why you have learned what you have learned and are questioning everything in regards to the religion you were reared in.
2. It must be understood that everyone has not experienced the same thing you have experienced. I tried to get saved in order to escape the violence in Detroit due to the crack epidemic and the Holy Ghost as it was taught in my church didn't work for me. That's not to say that it or Christianity didn't work at all for anybody. It just didn't serve me or help me at that particular time. For someone else, it may be helping them and improving their life, so there is no need to try and convince them of anything otherwise. It would be a serious violation and taboo for me to try and get my family to see things from my perspective. If they ask I can try to explain in the simplest way possible but, othr than that nothing else is given because they didn't and haven't walked in my shoes, and therefore don't understand the path. Why is this so important? It is important because if you haven't learned already you soon will years later, that it is a serious waste of breath, time and energy to try to convince others about the hidden truths of Christianity. You can argue until the cows come home scriptures and theories but you can't argue experience because no one can take that away from you. So, don't' throw you ).Jpearls to the swine (sorry for the swine reference
3. With that understood, the question is now where do we go from here? To keep you from wandering all over the place from faith to faith, religion to religion. You have to understand what it is that you are looking for or what is it that you want, which is why the first two pointers are very important. The reason you're in search or questioning things is because something was broke and you're trying to fix it. The spiritual pipeline had a serious leak because it was not reflecting your divinity. This is the true purpose of religion as true practitioners will tell you, that the purpose of religion is to tie you back to the Creator, but what does that really mean? It means that if you are made in the image of God, then you have the divine potential to accomplish anything in your life and solve any problem that you have as well. You just have to discover how to do it, so your religious foundation should begin with this first and foremost. If the spirituality you deal with doesn't begin or support this, most likely it is man-driven (political, financial, etc.) …can we say "Jim Jones".
It is very important that these three pointers be understood that spiritual development is a form of healing. A lot of people I have encountered didn't understand this and this is why they (myself included at the time) was so confused about the whole spirituality thing. I know when I first embarked upon this path I was thoroughly confused. In fact, I was upset about Christianity for a long time, until I learned that it wasn't the early Christians (Coptics, Gnostics, etc.) who messed things up. It was men (Council of Nicea, Southern racists, and other politically motivated individuals, etc.) that screwed it up for so many. And, if we don't understand this we will throw the baby out with the bathwater and end up perpetuating the very behavior we despise or simply adopting someone else's cultural perspective and neglecting our own.
This is what has worked for me. Have any comments or suggestions? Please share 🙂

Hollywood Pushes Back Against New China Tax
Twentieth Century Fox is refusing to accept about $23 million it is owed on Chinese box-office receipts for producing "Life of Pi" as a result of a clash between Hollywood and Chinese authorities, studio executives say.
The dispute centers on a new value-added tax that China is in the process of imposing on a wide range of goods and services. When it comes to movie tickets, state-owned distributor China Film Group has recently sought to deduct the cost of the tax entirely from foreign producers' share of the box office, said several people involved in international film distribution.

The tax method is causing consternation in Hollywood, where it is seen as the latest in a series of efforts to limit American studios' ability to generate profits in China despite a deal last year that was supposed to open doors. The policy undercuts one of the provisions of that agreement, reached between the American and Chinese governments, which bumped up the percentage of ticket sales that foreign producers receive.
Executives from several studios including Fox are objecting to China Film's approach to dealing with the tax. In other countries, value-added taxes are taken out of gross box-office receipts, before the money is divided between studios and theaters. Studio executives believe China Film's new policy could reduce by 8% their theatrical revenue in coming years from the world's fastest-growing movie market, potentially costing them millions of dollars.
"This is a serious concern and we don't know when it will be resolved," said one senior movie studio executive involved in the discussions.
The new tax has created confusion for many businesses operating in China, legal experts say. When a pilot program was rolled out in select cities last year, officials didn't specify whether it would apply to movie tickets. This month the government stated publicly that it would apply to cinemas, beginning in August.
But at a meeting of U.S. film studios organized by the Motion Picture Association of America last week, a senior executive from Fox told other international distribution professionals in attendance that China Film was attempting to reduce its payment on "Life of Pi"—released last year in China—due to the new value-added tax. Rather than accept what it believes is an underpayment, the studio is refusing to take any money until the issue is resolved.
One movie industry expert in China said that due to the lack of clear rules, the amount of a tax any studio has to pay may depend on its ability to negotiate with China Film Group. The expert also noted that domestic studios are exempt from the tax unless they are working with foreign partners.
A spokesman for China Film Group declined to discuss to discuss tax-related agreements, but said he wasn't aware of any disputes with Hollywood studios. "China Film Group always has good relationships with foreign studios, so as far as I'm concerned, there is no controversy," said spokesman Jiang Defu.
A spokeswoman for Fox, which like The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp. NWS -0.86% , declined to comment.
The MPAA has been involved in the dispute since last week's meeting, which was held at the Cinema-Con movie theater industry convention in Las Vegas. Studios and the MPAA are working to resolve the issue without involving the U.S. government.
"I'm well aware of the issue," said Chris Dodd, the former U.S. senator who is CEO of the trade association. "We're working on it and the studios are."
"Pi" was one of the most successful films last year in China, grossing $91 million. As last year's agreement allowed foreign producers to receive a 25% share of box office, Fox's share of the "Pi" box office should translate to nearly $23 million. China Film's imposition of the new tax would reduce Fox's take by approximately $2 million, according to people briefed on the situation.
Executives at two other studios who attended the Las Vegas meeting said they agreed with Fox's position. They said they were concerned that if Fox accepted the lower payment, that could become a precedent that would impact the entire industry.
American films that opened in China after "Life of Pi" and are awaiting their cut of box office grosses in the country include "Skyfall," released by Sony Pictures Entertainment, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" from Time Warner Inc. 's Warner Bros., Walt Disney Co. DIS -1.12% 's "Oz: The Great and Powerful," and "G.I. Joe: Redemption," distributed by Viacom Inc. 's Paramount Pictures.
Nearly all the foreign films that play in China come from Hollywood. Spokesmen for Sony, Warner Bros., Paramount and Disney declined to comment.
Last year's agreement was seen as marking major progress in Hollywood studios' long-running effort to gain greater access to the world's second largest movie market-projected to be No. 1 by 2020. Aside from the increase in box-office share allowed for foreign producers, the agreement increased the number of foreign films allowed to play in China and share in box office revenue from 20 to 34.
But a series of setbacks have followed. Last summer, China Film opened several similar movies, including "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man," on the same dates. It also imposed month long "blackout periods" during which no foreign pictures were allowed to play in Chinese theaters.
Those moves were widely perceived as an effort to limit the total box office of imported films, which were far outpacing local productions. This year, the trend has been the opposite.
Executives at Sony Pictures were shocked earlier this month when Chinese authorities pulled "Django Unchained" from theaters the day it started playing. The studio made minor changes to satisfy censors and on Friday said it would be rereleased in China on May 12.
The Hollywood executives concerned about the new tax dispute said they are hopeful it will be resolved soon, but none expect to enjoy smooth sailing going forward.
"China's China and there is always some issue," said one.

Adrien Brody and Jason Reitman
6PM Eastern Monday - Adrien Brody and Jason Reitman
"Neither one was in the film Nothing But The Truth, but they both showed up at the Gala last night. Adrien sauntered down the red carpet very early in a brown suede jacket and stopped to chat and take photos with my friend and I (see attached photo). Later Jason Reitman wandered through the main doors with a regular ticket just like the rest of us. When I refrained from photographing him (he pleaded with his eyes) he smiled and winked at me."

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – A 16-1 opening act by Tennessee Tech in the first four minutes brought the curtains down quickly on Morehead State Saturday night as the Golden Eagles clinched the top seed in the Ohio Valley Conference East Division with a crowd-pleasing 73-53 victory in Eblen Center
First-year coach Jim Davis started his five seniors on Senior Night, and all five put points into the book, including a career-high 21 by Lashay Davis and 22 from Jala Harris (photo below). That departing pair each scored eight points in Tech's opening flourish. All five seniors are on target to graduate on time.
Sophomore Diamond Henderson added 14 points while junior Molly
Heady finished with eight points and seven rebounds.
Morehead State (9-21/5-11 OVC) was topped by Terrice Robinson's 23 points, while Kailee Howe added 11.
With the win, Tech (18-11/12-4 OVC) has earned the top spot in the league's East Division standings, and will head to the OVC Tournament next week in Nashville sith byes into the semifinals on Friday.
Harris lit the fuse with a 3-pointer just 10 seconds into the
night, and Davis made it 6-0 one minute later. Davis had a layup
and Harris followed with her own, and the margin was at 10-0.
The pair wasn't finished.
After MSU got one free throw, Davis drained another 3-pointer, and Harris knocked down Tech's fourth trey of the contest at the 15:39 mark for a 16-1 lead.
Tech took its lead to as many as 23 points before the end of the
half, finally heading to the break with an 18-point bulge,
Morehead State rallied briefly early in the second half, using a 3-pointer by Allie Turner and a three-point play by Robinson to pull within 12 points, 35-23, with 18:17 to play.
But that was it for the visitors. Tech quickly regained a 20-point advantage and reached its largest lead of the night at 24 points when Harris made another 3-pointer with 8:17 to play for a 62-38 difference.

Which of These Footwear Companies Should You Bet On?
Consumer confidence in the U.S. rose to 78.1 in December from 72 in the previous month. This is surely good news for retailers that have been suffering because of lower consumer demand as shoppers try to save every penny in their pockets. Hence, a prudent investor should be well prepared to invest in the right company, one that will maximize returns as the industry players prosper.
In the footwear-retail industry, players such as Nike , Wolverine World Wide , and Crocs are quite interesting. These companies have been doing really well as evidenced by their quarterly results and stock-price performances. However, it is important to choose the best one among these, which will maximize investors' gains.
Performance so far...
The three footwear players have been providing good returns to investors as depicted in the chart below:
Although all of these stocks have appreciated over the last year, Wolverine has been the best performer, with a return of 65.3% to investors. It is then followed by Nike, with a return of 50.1%, and Crocs at 11.4%.
Wolverine has indeed been a commendable performer and has been posting strong results, especially after its acquisition of Performance and Lifestyle Group from Collective Brands in 2012. Revenue for the last quarter increased 9% to $717 million over the previous year's quarter. The addition of Sperry Top-Sider, Stride Ride, and Keds helped Wolverine attract more customers, expanding its portfolio of products.
Moreover, the company did not limit its strategies to expansion only. Wolverine also increased its promotional efforts, entering into partnership with celebrities such as Taylor Swift in order to lure young customers. The footwear retailer continued to introduce new products and collections, which resonated with customers -- such as the M-Connect collection. By focusing more on high-margin products, Wolverine has also been able to expand its gross margin to 39.9%.
Nike's last quarter was also a blockbuster one, with an increase of 8% and 40% in the top and the bottom lines, respectively. Nike has been very active on the innovation front. Its efforts on new product development have always given customers a reason to purchase its products. Its Flyknit technology and new introductions such as Nike+ FuelBand and Fuel Band SE were key growth drivers.
Additionally, the footwear company has marketed its products well, and with sports events such as the FIFA World Cup 2014 and the Winter Olympics, Nike is expected to perform even better. Its bright outlook and growth in future orders make the company even more attractive.
However, Crocs seems to be unable to keep up with the pace of its peers despite a decent last quarter. Same-store sales growth of 9% and the addition of 15 new stores drove retail sales higher. Its wholesale and Internet revenue also moved north by 21% and 26%, respectively. The company has been making efforts such as adding local language websites in order to attract more customers.
Crocs is known for its colorful variety of products that are comfortable enough to lure customers. However, the company is witnessing weakness in Europe and decreasing demand in the American market. Revenue from Japan has also been declining. It is difficult to say how its new products such as the Shamaal collection, Boat Line, and Leigh will help in growing its business.
A look at some numbers...
Considering the P/E ratio, Crocs has the lowest multiple of 20 as compared to Nike and Wolverine, which have multiples of nearly 25 and and 21.9, respectively. However, Wolverine has the lowest forward P/E ratio at 10, whereas Nike and Crocs are at 22.3 and 17.4, respectively. The forward P/E multiple is much lower for Wolverine, which means that it is expected to grow much more in the future than the others. Hence, it will be more rewarding for investors.
Also, Wolverine World Wide has the lowest PEG ratio of 1.3 compared to 2.1 and 2 for that of Nike and Crocs, respectively. A lower PEG ratio shows that the company has higher growth prospects, giving substantial reasons to consider Wolverine as the best pick.
Bottom line
Consumer spending in U.S rose by 0.5% in November over the previous month. This shows that consumers are willing to open up their wallets, which should benefit footwear retailers. Hence, investing in the best company should prove to be rewarding.
Although both Wolverine and Nike have been good performers, the former outpaces the latter when it comes to valuation. Crocs, on the other hand, is taking measures to stage a comeback. However, it is better to wait for the right time, which is when Crocs shows a definite turnaround. Therefore, Wolverine should be the perfect pick since it has performed well, has given good returns to investors, has been strategizing well, and is expected to grow remarkably in the months to come.

Nov. 7, 2006

Hey, Jimmy Kimmel, Matt Damon wants the last laugh — and Thursday night he's doing the kidnapping to prove it.
First, a little background. OK, a lot of background.
The actor has been made fun of repeatedly on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" over the years, a gag that started in the show's early days when guests weren't that great and Kimmel was trying to liven up the show by pretending they didn't have enough time for the movie star. (Kimmel later admitted that he did the gag simply to amuse a producer, because the show was so bad they would never have bumped any A-lister.)
Damon did eventually make an appearance on the show, albeit a short one, during a 2006 prime-time special. Kimmel spent so much time recapping all the times Damon had been bumped from the lineup that by the time the actor made it to his chair, they had run out of time. Damon went faux-ballistic.
The taunt then instigated Kimmel's then-girlfriend, comedian Sarah Silverman, to surprise the talk-show host with a 2008 birthday video called "F*@#ing Matt Damon," which went viral.
Kimmel retaliated shortly after with another jab at Damon, featuring Damon's buddy Ben Affleck in a video called "F*@#ing Ben Affleck," chock-full of celebrity cameos, including Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz and more.
But the feud (and Kimmel's lack of handsomeness) got him evicted from his Handsome Men's Club, which aired as a post-Oscars special in 2010. Matthew McConaughey declared that Kimmel wasn't handsome, and despite a rebuttal helped by Lenny Kravitz, Jimmy was out the door. And there was his good ol' frenemy, Matt Damon, to slam it behind him. Fortunately for Kimmel, it was only a nightmare, and Affleck returned to calm his nerves.
Kimmel then spoofed Damon's "The Bourne Ultimatum" by bumping the actor from his own film and having it star the host's late-night sidekick Guillermo instead.
Next, Kimmel cast several A-listers in his 2012 post-Oscars special segment "Movie: The Movie." Damon was included -- as a grape. And Kimmel proceeded to cut him out of the fake film.
And the battle rages on.
Now that Kimmel has made his debut in the 11:35 p.m. time slot and is doing battle with late-night heavyweights Jay Leno and David Letterman, it seems that Kimmel's team is angling for a ratings boost, hence the kidnapping.
On Thursday morning, ABC's "Good Morning America" teased to the showdown, which takes place Thursday night. When Damon was booked on the show earlier this month, Kimmel issued this statement: "God help Damon if he dare show his stupid face."
Damon's response: "Words hurt, Jimmy. But not as much as a tire iron. I'm coming for you."
Which brings us to this video, showing Kimmel tied up in a chair and gagged with a tie, with an all-too-smug Damon announcing his takeover.
The show airs tonight at 11:35 p.m. Will you tune in?

Today I bring you what I was hoping to be a near replica of my beloved "Pecan Sandies" that I loved back in the day. The cookies turned out more cake-like then they did like shortbread, but that may have been my decision to use Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix instead of my GF Flour Mix (Carol's sorghum mix). See, the recipe doesn't call for any baking powder or soda, and Pamela's has both. The cookies are still very tasty, just a different texture that I think I was hoping they would have. As a matter of fact, both Hannah & Jon loved these! The recipe for these comes from a friend, Lori, of Fake Food Free. Lori doesn't bake gluten-free yet, but is interested in giving it a try. I can't wait to see how her treats turn out.
Here are the changes that I made to the recipe:
- I used 1/4 cup of granulated sugar (I didn't have any demerara).
- I used Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix in place of the whole wheat flour. Next time I am using Carol's sorghum mix.
That is it. Very simple to mix & make. A perfect treat with coffee or tea.
Hope you all enjoyed week 1 of Cookie-A-Day! Next week will have 5 days of cookies! I am going to be making some old favorites next week, so make sure to keep coming back! Also, if you have any requests, post them in the comments & I will see what I can do to make them. Any old favorites you want converted to gluten-free? Email or leave a comment. I am happy to give it a go!
Found out some exciting news yesterday….Dr. Oz will have a show on Celiac on December 10th! Be sure to tune in. I love Dr. Oz!

Cody Simpson has it pretty sweet, right? The 15-year-old pop star from Australia's Gold Coast was an award-winning swimmer before his music career took off online. Not only did the then-preteen's bedroom Timberlake covers blow-up Justin Bieber-style, but last year he even snagged Biebz boy-genius manager Scooter Braun.
But as much as Cody's life may seem as golden as the coast he grew up on, the truth is that being famous doesn't mean you don't have feelings -- or that those feelings aren't as easily hurt as anyone else's.
"Cyberbullying is something that I experience online everyday, you know? Being a public figure a lot of people will really love what you do, but you know there is also a ton of people who will hate on it," Simpson told HuffPost Canada at Free the Children's We Day youth rally in Vancouver last month, a city still reeling from the suicide of bullying victim Amanda Todd.
A one-hour MuchMusic special featuring highlights from the Vancouver and Toronto We Day events will include performances by Simpson, Nelly Furtado, Demi Lovato, One Republic and K'naan.
SEE: The stars at We Day Vancouver 2012. Story continues below:
"Everyone experiences that, but I just try my best," says Simpson. "Obviously, you can see how severe it can go [with Amanda Todd] and it's important to do our best to prevent situations like that because it's terrible."
Simpson says parents simply don't understand the new online world of bullying 2.0 because they're only familiar with the traditional schoolyard variety.
"Because that is how they grew up with it," says Simpson. "There's this whole new technology element now that pretty much only the new generation really understands. It definitely ups the ante. People feel so much more comfortable bullying behind a screen than in person. It gives them a mystique and makes them say things that they would never be strong enough to say in person. And when people feel more comfortable behind the screen, they definitely take it much more extreme. But it still hurts the same way."
As well as appearing at events like We Day -- which will have 10 events this year, including their first American rally in Seattle -- Simpson is part of a campaign called Defeat the Label, a youth organization dedicated to promoting "a bully-free society without social labels and stereotypes."
In a video for the group, Simpson shared his own experience of not fitting in with the other boys, because he preferred playing music to playing sports. The bullying, of course, only skyrocketed once he became well-known.
Story continues after video
"It kind of happens every day and in the beginning it was something that... right now I have kind of grown almost numb to it. I make sure not to look it up now, but in the beginning I was literally, like, looking up hate messages," he says. "People say these things. They don't even know you. It does hurt a little bit. They didn't even have a chance to know you as a person and all they see is what is online. When someone sees a person doing that it kind of snowballs and people start to think it's okay."
But whether being cyberbullied by strangers or classmates, Simpson says it's incredibly important to not be bullied into silence. As he put it in a Build-a-Bear campaign for Stop Cyberbullying Month: "always remember to stop, block and tell."
"You really kind of have to relay that it isn't cool," he says. "A lot of people do it to try and defend their own insecurities and try and take it out on other people. You really got to let them know that they should talk to parents and friends and teachers and family about their own issues rather than taking it out on other people with their own things to worry about."

MEDWAY - For the second time in as many years, one selectman candidate will face defeat at annual town elections scheduled for Tuesday, May 20.
First-time selectman candidate Steven Lee, 43, of 165 Lovering St., is challenging incumbent Glenn Trindade, the current chairman who's seeking a third term.
Lee, a third-generation Medway resident with two young children, said while he has no complaints about how the current board or other town officials have run the town, now might be time for a change.
"I feel that it's just good to have new faces and new ideas," said the UMass-Amherst graduate.
He did say, however, that he would "make sure community preservation funds are spent wisely and responsibly."
He said the funds are meant to prevent "sprawl and overdevelopment. And, he'd like to "make sure money spent is doing the most good toward keeping those things in check."
Lee, a professional services engineer, said if he were elected he would place more focus on the schools, especially with the controversy surrounding the Common Core State Standards and the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for Colleges and Careers (PARCC) test.
The standards, a federal education initiative, detail what students should know in English language arts and mathematics by the end of each grade.
The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education will decide in the fall of 2015 whether the PARCC test will replace the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assesment Sysem (MCAS) as the state's main standardized assessment.
Lee, who ran for a seat on the school committee last year, lost his bid by less than 50 votes, but said he was motivated to run because of the new standards and proposed assessment system.
He said the school district's budget deserves more scrutiny, especially with the new standards and testing handed down by the federal government.
"I feel that (Common Core and PARCC) represent a loss of local control over curriculum and standards," he said. "We've ceded control to the federal government."
Instead of a top-down approach, Lee said education should start at the local level with parents and elected school committees.
He added that some on the board have "been in the system for a while" and may not have Common Core and PARCC "on their radar."
And, as a parent of two young children in a town with a residential tax base hovering around 90 percent, he said another focus of his would be to attract more businesses to town.
"It gets pretty expensive if you're on a fixed income to just afford property taxes in Medway," he said.

In my 20s, I spent most weekends club hopping along Vancouver's Granville Street, lining up for hours. I look back on those days and wonder how on earth I had the patience. Now in my 30s, I take a much more refined approach to our so-called Entertainment District. Like staggering past The Roxy on my way home from a much more grown-up bar, hollering at the youngsters to go somewhere else. To which I'm greeted with eye rolls and blank stares.
I'm over dirty bathrooms, d-bags and dance floors that reek of pre-pubescent boys just gagging for a dry hump. Godspeed to any bouncer who tells me to get in line. Apparently telling someone to go f#&k yourself doesn't translate to a speedy entrance.
The biggest complaint I hear from my 30-something friends is that they just want to go some place where they can dance, order from a proper wine and cocktail list (sans Jager shots) and be surrounded by people in our demographic. A seemingly tall order these days, but if you're looking for a good night out in Vancouver I recommend the following:
Located on South Main just outside the downtown core, Electric Owl is one-part lounge, one-part resto that morphs into a nightclub as the night progresses. Live music every Sunday, with local and international bands and DJs playing throughout the week. Check out their calendar of events.
After sampling some seriously divine Caribbean cuisine, head downstairs for another round of rum cocktails and groove into the wee hours. Calabash is another Vancouver hot spot that features live music most nights and local DJs spinning hip hop, reggae and old school. See what's on this month.
From the owners of The Yale Hotel blues club (which is temporarily closed for a historic upgrade) most of the bands have moved a few blocks to Fanclub. This New Orleans inspired performance venue is set up cabaret style. Have dinner, enjoy some kick ass live music and stay late for local DJs. Check out their upcoming shows.
Hooker's Green is a welcome retreat from Yaletown's high brow, high-end establishments. Grab a whiskey on the rocks or choose from their rotating list of craft beer. Live music and local DJs hit the stage nightly and don't worry, the name is a nod to 18th century painter William Hooker. There are no $10 massages here.

Kelty Yellowstone 2
This tent is a good buy for a three-season tent. It's…
Source: bought it used
Price Paid: $35
This tent is a good buy for a three-season tent. It's on the heavy side by today's standards, but weighs less than our previous 1970's-era Gerry two-man tent. I like the design and quick setup, but found the ventilation to be poor, especially in hot, humid conditions.
- Cost-effective
- Good amount of space
- Durable
- Sets up quickly
- Can be used without stakes if need be
- Weight
- Fiberglass poles
- Poor ventilation
The kids are grown, and we can get back into some backspacking, so my husband and I got this tent to replace our previous tent, a 1970's era Gerry two-man tent (LOVED that thing!).
Have been pleased overall with it, especially since we only paid $35 at a garage sale and it was in good shape. It's lighter than our previous tent, but not by today's backpacking standards (we still use an old frame pack with cordura fabric and an original Gregory backpack, so weight isn't so critical!), weighing in at about 6 pounds.
Used it on a recent backpacking trip when the temps went down only into the high 70s and the humidity was about 85%. Bugs were too thick to cowboy camp, so needed the tent. Didn't sleep for two nights with the heat. Even with the fly off, the tent circulated air poorly, which is its biggest drawback in this hiker's opinion. The only ventilation is through small mesh panels at the very top of the tent. I'll be fixing that by remaking the tent with mesh panels installed on the sides.
The mesh storage pockets and ceiling loft are great — especially when you need to dry out wet or sweaty clothes. The bathtub floor wraps a bit higher than a lot of tents, and it and the fly are very water tight and made of durable taffeta. The taped seams haven't leaked through downpours.
The tent is rated three season, but I don't see why it couldn't be used for winter camping as well, if there are no high-wind conditions. The peaked A-frame style wouldn't lend itself to that as well as the lower-profile domed versions (although our Gerry was the mountaineering tent of choice in its time!).
There is no vestibule, which makes gear storage with two adults cozy but doable, unless you're well over six feet tall. The interior is fairly spacious, with a 58" x 92" floor plan and room to sit up for those of us of slighter build.
The tent goes up really quickly and is free standing, with three fiberglass poles (one for the fly), and a clip system — single person setup in under five minutes without the fly. The fly has four points to stake out, but it can be used without. The Yellowstone 2 packs down to about 9" x 25" — less without the poles, which we carry rolled in our pads and strapped to the back of our packs.
Overall, am VERY pleased with this tent, and always love a bargain!
This is a nice little, inexpensive tent that would…
Price Paid: $50
This is a nice little, inexpensive tent that would be decent for car camping. Setup is super easy, although the clips are slightly annoying for take-down (I guess that just makes it sturdier though!). The gear loft and pockets are a nice feature. This tent does well in bad conditions. I took it out to British Columbia last September, and the weather was miserable. Constantly raining outside, but we were dry inside! You can't beat that for 50 bucks!
Can't understand why it's so cheap...super easy, super…

i've wanted this collectible fashion doll of my favorite SNK character for a good long while now,
-one of the earliest marketed pieces of SAM. SPIRITS merchandise, AFIAIK-
but examples of her on the BAY and the like were always priced a bit high for me,
that is, until i happened across, and won, an auction for a copy of her
for an unbelievable $13.85 shipped!!!
her box was certainly not in pristine hardcore collectors' minty condition,
but she herself was in more than adequate shape for my purposes;
so, she arrived, and first order of business was to swap her over to a more poseable,
far more aesthetically pleasing OBITSU aftermarket 1/6 scale doll body.
she also received an actual metal Tanto blade taken from a replica 1/6 two-piece samurai katana set;

'tis the season
December 01, 2017
It IS the season. For sharing. For caring. For giving — of your time, your resources, your abilities. For sharing your table with family, friends, neighbors. This holiday season, as we reflect on the gifts we've been given, may we be eager to give, and eager to bestow acts of kindness on our loved ones, or even on strangers in need.
Ruth Ebenstein, an American-Israeli writer, relates a story of a Christmas Eve in 1944, a Christmas Eve that her grandmother, uncle, and mother spent in a concentration camp in Austria, on the verge of starvation. Ruth's mother, who was only three years old, could not even leave the bed because she had no shoes to wear. Late that Christmas Eve night, Ruth's uncle Gyuri, a young boy of 12 at the time, snuck out of the concentration camp and walked four miles to the nearest town. When he arrived in Deutsch-Wagram, he came upon a house and, knocking at the door, he begged the sleepy woman who answered for some food for his family. She whispered, "Come back tomorrow." When Gyuri returned on Christmas day, the smiling Austrian lady gave him food, clothing, shoes, and warm woolen socks that she had knitted for his young sister.
When Gyuri returned to the camp, the entire barracks enjoyed the feast provided by the kind woman from Deutsch-Wagram. And when the camp was liberated by the Russians in 1945, Ruth's mother wore those same shoes and socks to make the 28-mile trek to Bratislava, to freedom.
After relating this story, Ruth adds a thank you to the woman whose unexpected kindness shone a bright light in a dark place:
"Thank you for knitting with your hands the pair of socks that warmed my mom's little feet and skinny legs. Thank you for finding those shoes and clothing and giving them to a stranger. Thank you for sharing your bread during wartime. In the despair of a battered land, cold and snowy, when many hearts were closed and evil reigned and death was more likely than life, especially for Jews, you gave them light. You gave them kindheartedness. You gave them a measure of sustenance that I can only imagine." USA Today
Martin Klapper, from Longmont, Colorado, relates a story about one holiday season during the Great Depression, when Martin was 10 years old. A few days before Christmas 1935, Martin looked out the window to see his father sitting on the stoop outside with tears in his eyes. When the mailman came up the steps to ask his father what was wrong, his father answered that he had used up his food vouchers and that the rent was past due. "Ike, how much do you need?" the mailman asked. When Martin's father answered that he needed $33 for rent, the mailman took $50 from his wallet and gave it to Ike. When Ike told him that he wasn't sure when he'd be able to pay him back, the mailman said it was fine if he wasn't able to pay him back. Noticing Martin at the window, the mailman said to Ike, "Isaac, things will not be this way forever. If you or your son will remember this day, there will be times in the future when someone needs your help. Help them within your means and tell them what happened this day. This will be my payback. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah."
Martin ends his story with this: "As long as he lived, my father helped others when he could, and I've done my best to do my part in paying his generosity back." Reader's Digest
Glen Gillette, from Las Vegas, Nevada, relates a story about Christmas 1958, his first Christmas as a high-school teacher in Nevada. On December 22, he was headed home to Idaho to spend Christmas with his parents when his radiator hose broke outside Fillmore, Utah. When the car was towed to the Fillmore Chevron station, the owner, Dan Brinkerhoff, discovered that "the engine had become so hot that it had warped the head." Dan made some calls and found a replacement part in a nearby wrecking yard. After Glen took a bus to the wrecking yard, bought the part, and returned to Fillmore, it was nighttime and the station was closed. However, Dan went right to work, laboring over the car for hours while Glen slept in the backseat. As Glen concludes his story, "Finally, he woke me and announced I was ready to go. When I went to settle up, he would not take a dime for anything he had done. I got to spend the holidays with my parents, and I shall forever remember Dan for the wonderful thing he did for me." Reader's Digest
This holiday season, remember this: whether you are a mailman or a mother or a mechanic, your small act of kindness can make a world of difference.

Many people can't imagine life without a cell phone, but believe it or not, most of us would probably be okay (though inconvenienced). There are some businesses, however, that have built strong foundations almost exclusively through the mobile web, and without phones, they'd have a hard time surviving. One industry that is full of entrepreneurs who you'll never see without smartphones in hand? Street food, which has developed a pretty impressive presence here in Atlanta through the power of mobile marketing.
As Jordan Chambers of Rattletrap Street Coffee bluntly puts it in the video below: "If we didn't have phones, what… would we do?"
Coffee Gets Creative from Allies on Vimeo.
When you leave home without your phone, will it have a direct impact on how much money your business makes that day? For street food vendors like Rattletrap, the answer is yes. For most of us, though, the only thing that spending a few hours without our cell phones will keep us from doing is sending a text message or two.

What's missing in H__RT? EA or U?
Pick EA & you'll get a heart!
If u pick U, you will get hurt!
I'd pick U coz it's better to get hurt,
Than have a heart without U.
If i would know that I'm gonna die tomorrow,
I'll spend 23 hours with u and
if u wonder what about the last hour
In that I'll find someone
who can take care of u
Love you always.
Believe me, you are the one,
Whom my heart finds,
Whom my mind reminds me of,
Whom my destiny wants,
Whom I love the most.
My heart says that you like me,
My eyes says that you feel something for me,
My mind says that you think of me,
But till now you are quiet…
1st time i saw u i was scared 2 touch u.
1st time i touched u i was scared 2 kiss u.
1st time i kiss u i was scared to love u.
but now that i love u i'm scared 2 lose u!
I looked at a sweet, beautiful rose,
And then I looked at you,
And I kept looking at you,
For the rose isn't as beautiful as you.
Shakespare says
There r 2 things in LIFE that r very painful
One is when ur love loves you & doesn't tell u…
Second when ur love doesn't love u and tells u.
There is no fear in Love,
if the Love is real and perfect it overshadows all fears and Concern.
Love is not what you can receive
it's all about what you can give.
I have tried to move on
but with every guy
I feel more & more
like I'll never be able to replace u.
And the sad thing is…
I know I have already been replaced.
IF you broke heart any one.
one day your own heart will
broke some one.
Than you know the pain of
broke heart.
The most beautiful words
by a wounded heart
"I Never Stopped Loving You,
I Just Stopped Showing It"…
A smile to put you on high…
A kiss to set your soul alright…
Would it be alright if
I spent tonight being loved by you?

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (UWECBlugolds.com) - The UW-Eau Claire football team upset ninth-ranked St. John's University (Minn.) with a 23-20 overtime victory at Carson Park today.
While the Blugolds trailed a majority of the night, Joel Sweeney (Fr.-Tomah, Wis.) scored a touchdown with just over two minutes to go to put the Blugolds on top 17-10. However, St. John's tied the game back up with six seconds left in the game after a 10-play, 81-yard drive that lasted less than two minutes.
In the overtime period, the Blugolds shut down the Johnnie offense, allowing them to gain just two yards. St. John's settled for a 40-yard field goal to go up 20-17.
The Blugolds then took over and moved the ball 10 yards in their first two plays but the Johnnie defense held strong and forced the Blugolds to make a decision on fourth-and-one. The Blugolds opted to go for it and converted after a four-yard run by Sweeney. The next play, with just two yards to the end zone, Sweeney took the ball right up the middle to score the winning touchdown.
All the scoring in tonight's game came in the even quarters with St. John's scoring 10 in the second quarter and seven in the fourth. The Blugolds scored three in the second quarter with a Brandon Raciborski (Sr.-Eau Claire, Wis./Memorial) field goal and 14 in the fourth quarter. Matt Olson scored the Blugolds other touchdown at 4:52 in the fourth.
The Blugolds were not without other scoring opportunities tonight. Earlier in the fourth quarter, Blugold quarterback Austin Neu (So.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford) hit Jesse Linsmeyer (Jr.-Cameron, Wis.) for an 80-yard pass, tying for the 17th longest pass play in school history, to get the Blugolds down to St. John's eight. Unfortunately, Neu was picked off on the following play.
Eau Claire outgained St. John's 349-282. The Blugolds had 219 passing yards to St. John's 138 but the Johnnies outgained the Blugolds on the ground 144-130.
Sweeney led the game with 90 rushing yards while he also had 27 receiving yards. David Goodman (Jr.-Neenah, Wis.) caught five passes for 77 yards and Linsmeyer had 83 yards receiving from two passes. Neu finished with 219 yards on 14-for-24 passing.
Andy Neumann (Jr.-Germantown, Wis.) led the Blugolds with eight tackles while Dan Mahaffey (Sr.-Madison, Wis./Memorial) and Brad Nierenhausen (Sr.-Cottage Grove, Minn./Park) each picked up a sack. The Blugolds also forced three fumbles tonight.
The win over the Johnnies was the first since 2004 when Eau Claire won 30-28 at St. John's. The last overtime game the teams played in was in 2002 at Carson Park and the Blugolds came out on top 28-21. Eau Claire is now 5-7 all-time against the Johnnies and 9-7 all-time in overtime contests.
The Blugolds will be off next weekend and will return to action with their first game on the road Sept. 25 in Naperville, Ill. against North Central College. Action will get underway at 1 p.m.

No. All tracks are sample-free. We do not condone illegally licensing "uncleared" sampled music.
However, we are capable of making a beat 'sound' like it was sampled, upon request as we understand that's what gives many rap beats its sound.
"Trackouts" or tracked out audio files, aka "stems" are the separate audio files the make up a particular instrumental. For instance, the kick, snare, synth, piano, and so on are all separate audio files that comprise the instrumental.
These are useful for high-end mixing projects where the engineer may need to customize the mix of the instrumental around your vocals. We highly suggest the Deluxe License for a top-notch mix.

The Pamlico Hurricanes didn�t produce the prettiest win against Lejeune Tuesday in the opening round of the Coastal Plains Conference tournament � but it was a win, 74-58.
BAYBORO � The Pamlico Hurricanes didn�t produce the prettiest win against Lejeune Tuesday in the opening round of the Coastal Plains Conference tournament � but it was a win, 74-58.
�This is the time of the year when it starts to get ugly because everybody is fighting and trying not to have their season end,� said Pamlico coach Earl Sadler.
�In the second half we could tell that their guys were tired a little bit, but we took too many jump shots and needed to get the ball inside. We have to play a lot cleaner going forward.�
Jermicus Brown led the Hurricanes with 19 points and six rebounds, while fellow big man Arthur Randall posted 14 and 10 for a double/double.
�I think the team has come into its own since the beginning of the year,� Sadler said with a smile.
�D.J. (Lewis) has been playing extremely smart and well and tonight our guys off the bench like Naquan (Gibbs) really stepped up. We need our bench guys to play big for us to be successful.�
Lewis had an all-around rock-solid performance with 10 points, seven boards and seven assists.
Brady Boudine led the Devil Pups with 18 points and point guard Ryann Evans added 16.
Pamlico will advance to take on Southwest Onslow Thursday at Camp Lejeune, where the semis and finals are being hosted.
�We go down there and play them and don�t change a thing,� Sadler said. �It all starts in practice Wednesday. We have to get a good effort in practice and play cleaner on offense to beat them.�
The Southwest Onslow Stallions took two from the Hurricanes in the regular season, with last week�s battle being decided by a mere four points.
The winner of Pamlico and Southwest Onslow will match up with the winner of East Carteret and Jones Senior for the CPC championship Friday in Jacksonville.
Pamlico (74) - Jermicus Brown 19, Arthur Randall 14, D.J. Lewis 10, Bradley Bennett 9, Naquan Gibbs 6, Cameron Moore 5, Rayquawn Wood 4, Tarik Davis 3, Terrence Heath 2, Josiah Simmons 2.
Lejeune (54) - Brady Boudine 18, Ryann Evans 16, Dax Sammut 9, Jamaz Richardson 8, Chuckie Murdock 5, Martin Ortega 2.

The Colombina collection small saucer, with its original shape, can also be used to serve small cakes or appetizers. Next to the bone china version, it is also proposed in black melamine, to add a touch of chrome that makes each table special.
The Colombina collection dish service designed by Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas not only distinguish themselves by their aesthetic quality, but also offer a sophisticated evolution of table rituals, thanks to their key component and their ability to change. A sculptural approach to dishes, receptacles and cups with surprising shapes that can be associated and superimposed like a stack of petals, creating different solutions each time. A versatile service that offers a rich range of instruments to set and serve the table leaving room for the creativity of those who use it.VIEW THE COMPLETE RANGE

DOVER — City officials are eying an expansion of the form-based coding in the Central Business District thanks to a grant to help review major roadways and corridors in and out of downtown.
The goal of the project, supported by a $50,000 grant from the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, is to ensure these roadways and corridors support the downtown while providing opportunities for growth, if the residents so wish.
In February, the public — specifically in the downtown area — will be invited to a number of design charrettes. City Planner Chris Parker said these sessions will be used to discussion and brainstorm those who attend want to see happen downtown. Owners and renters along the roadways to be studied will receive letters in the mail from City Hall inviting them to participate in public hearings and charrettes.
The roadways that will be studied are Central Avenue (north from the intersection with Birchwood Place toward Silver Street and north from Ham Street toward Abbey Sawyer Memorial highway), Broadway (east from Ham Street to the Rollinsford town line), Portland Avenue (east from Chapel Street to the Rollinsford town line), Sixth Street (west from Grove Street toward Hillside Drive) and Silver Street (east from Exit 8 off the Spaulding Turnpike to Central Avenue).
"Right now there are limited commercial areas and smaller retail development in these areas," Parker said. "We want to know, 'Does the public want to see this grow or do they want to see the opposite?'"
Parker said the timing of the project does not have anything to do with the future growth of the downtown with the possibility of a new police station, parking garage or the expected waterfront development.
"Other than seeing these projects as adding to a vibrant downtown, the timing is not related," he said, adding that the timing only has to do with the city now receiving the grant.
Assistant City Planner Timothy Corwin explained in a public statement that many communities first develop regulations and then ask for input from the public.
"Here (in Dover), we take the opposite approach by first understanding what the community wants and then translating that into the code," he said.
Form-based coding is a style of zoning regulating land use by placing more emphasis on community character and the impact development has on the public realm than traditional zoning does, according to a public statement. "Dover was the first city in New Hampshire to adopt form based coding as part of its Zoning Code, beginning with Chapter 170-10.1. Redevelopment within the Central Business District (CBD) is governed by these context sensitive principles. This idea stems from the City's vision set forth in 2007's update to the Land Use Chapter of the Master Plan which was adopted by the Planning Board on Nov. 13, 2007."
The goal of the project is not to replace all of Dover's zoning with form-based coding, but to focus on the most populated and busiest areas in the City and protecting its character while encouraging development.
Jeffrey H. Taylor and Associates was selected to work with the community on this project after Dover's Planning staff interviewed a number of consulting groups in September. About a month ago, the chosen consulting group walked the roadways with city staff, measuring sites and gathering information regarding transportation, building heights and uses and setbacks to look for patterns on how the area may be able to change in the future.
Stakeholder interviews will begin this month and stakeholder briefings will begin later this year, followed by a briefing of the Planning Board in early 2014 and then a review by City Council to finalize the project.
The public is encouraged to be a part of this process. Aside from charrettes and public hearings, Planning staff will also organize opportunities for public input to be put on Channel 22, the City's website, Facebook and Twitter.
For more information, contact the Dover Planning Department at 603-516-6008.
