During the 1980s, the Pressure Boys were one of the southeast's hottest bands, performing over 400 shows in towns from New York to Texas to Idaho, releasing two EPs, a cassette, and an LP of original material, and filling dance floors with their own loopy brand of ska and high-energy pop wherever they went. After they split up in 1988, the group's members went on to work with artists as varied as Don Henley, Trailer Bride, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, and the Sex Police, but their fans, particularly those in their home town of Chapel Hill, still hoped they would someday find a reason to reunite.
It took them twenty years, but they finally found a reason to do it: cystic fibrosis.
On May 2nd and 3rd, 2008, the P-Boys returned from a twenty-year hiatus to perform at the Cat's Cradle, with proceeds from the show going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for CF research.
If this seems a touch mature for a band that once recorded an ode to Peter Pan, well, times change.
Back in 1981, the group was just a quartet of Chapel Hill High School students and a pair of CHHS graduates hoping to perform at a talent show, but they soon saw the possibilities that playing their favorite ska, new wave, and reggae songs in a band offered: fame, fortune, creative expression, travel, and the chance to eat strange food in strange restaurants all over the country. The early shows consisted primarily of songs by British "two-tone" groups such as Madness and Bad Manners, but at guitarist Bryon Settle's urging, the P-Boys soon began writing their own material. Their live shows became more polished, combining the technical brilliance and driving beat of drummer Rob Ladd, the sometimes-manic, sometimes-unflappable stage persona of singer/trombonist John Plymale, and the striking visual presence of saxophonist Greg Stafford, six feet five inches of trench coat and houndstooth hat.
In 1982, the Pressure Boys went to Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studio in Winston-Salem and recorded seven original songs, releasing the resulting EP Jump! Jump! Jump!, on their own label. To support the record, they began to venture further from their home base (Plymale's mother's house in Carrboro) and perform at clubs, fraternity houses, and parties throughout the southeast. Soon they were opening for bigger bands like Duran Duran, and before long the P-Boys returned to the studio with producer Don Dixon to record their second EP, the four-song Rangledoon, which spawned the cult favorite song (and video) "Where the Cowboys Went." More touring and opening gigs for Billy Idol, Fishbone, and R.E.M. were to follow, and the band was tapped to contribute a song to Dolphin Records' More Mondo compilation; that song, "Pete," would signal a new maturity in the P-Boys' sound, as well as an oncoming burst of creativity. In 1987, that creative explosion was captured on the self-produced LP Krandlebanum Monumentus, featuring the double-sided single "Around the World"/ "Dial Tone," but in 1988, after seven years of relentless touring and frequent personnel changes, the group decided to call it quits.
They left a legacy, however, as performers whose creative energy simply couldn't be contained on stage, let alone on record. Members of the P-Boys were constantly performing in side projects such as the ska revue Rohrwaggon, the TV-theme-song-based Rouch Cats, and the world's only Wall of Voodoo tribute band, Great Wall of Doo Doo. They didn't restrict their artistry to music, either; several of the band members were gifted cartoonists, and they collaborated on the cover for Krandlebanum Monumentus. Most notably, the band's Dodge van, "Death Pete," became a rolling canvas, decorated with paint, markers, plastic, and even a few plants growing in the crevices. They even dabbled in performance art, such as the night at Rhythm Alley when Stafford found the club's Chapel Hill phone book, seized a marker, and scrawled on it the words "PRESSURE BOYS GUEST LIST."
It's thus unsurprising that since their breakup many of the Pressure Boys have remained in the music business, though others have sought careers in other fields. Trumpeter Je Widenhouse played with Plymale in the Sex Police for several years before moving on to a spot in the Squirrel Nut Zippers' lineup, while bassist Jack Campbell played with Johnny Quest and was the owner of Poindexter Records for over a decade. Settle and P-Boys soundman Mike Beard, now both in Hillsborough, founded their own studio, Yellow Recording, producing recordings by Trailer Bride, LUD, Evil Wiener, and Pipe, among others. Ladd moved to California and became a sought-after drummer, recording and performing with such artists as Don Henley, Alanis Morissette, and the Red Clay Ramblers. And Stafford hung up his trench coat and went to law school, settling eventually in Pittsboro.
Plymale, meanwhile, has remained in the Triangle and has become a producer of some note, working with bands such as Superchunk and Athenaeum. In 2004, however, he and his wife were shocked to learn that their then two-year-old daughter, Allie, was suffering from cystic fibrosis. Plymale responded to the situation by creating the Songs for Sixty Five Roses project, a CD featuring many of the North Carolina artists he had worked with (such as Chris Stamey, Katherine Whelan, Athenaeum, and Southern Culture on the Skids) performing songs by other N.C. artists (such as Superchunk, James Taylor, Randy Travis, and the dB's). All proceeds from the disc went to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for research into treatment, but Plymale wanted to do still more, and the idea of a benefit show came to him: a show big enough to bring attention to the cause of CF research in a big way, a show that would span twenty years and bring performers from all over the country—a Pressure Boys reunion show.
In short, the band that never grew up may have grown up, but as part of their effort to be responsible members of society and good parents, they spent May 2nd and 3rd, 2008 recapturing their youth, pumping life back into songs that haven't been heard in the Triangle for two decades, and putting on the show their fans had been waiting for since ties were skinny and so were most of the fans. As Tom Robbins once said, it's never too late to have a happy childhood.

In the residential area there is some evidence of settlement from the Orientalizing Period (late VIII century BC) to the Late Empire. In order to determine the life period of the town, we have an involuntary archive (showcase 1), which consist of some fragments exhibited in chronological order that were collected and put aside by farmers while reclaiming the land. The oldest evidence comes from the south-east part of the area, where the remains of the fortified walls were found. This is the first example of that irregular, roughly circular shape, which characterizes the residential area all over its life; traces of the oldest residential area have been almost completely eliminated.
In the late IV century BC, the excavation data allows us to identify a qualitative interruption – the old residential area is replaced by a more regular area, made up of roads (cardo and decumanus) which intersect forming a right angle.
We have little evidence of the period relating to the Samnites wars, the construction phase of the Appian way, of the houses and of the public monuments because of a deep reorganisation that will change the aspect of the town from the II to the I century BC. We are talking about a new monumental structure whose architectural decoration is exhibited in show case 2.
Fragments of everyday life have been collected from houses, squares and roads – graphite inscriptions, factory trademarks, jewels (show case 3), tools to wash ears, pins for clothes and bone hairpins used by rich matrons, coins and jewellery that were left or lost.

As you might expect, the direction for the hard-light source is more critical in contrast to a soft one. In fact, changing the angle between your subject as well as the light source can totally transform this is accomplished looks. In the event subject possesses rich texture, that can totally disappear when the sunshine is square on into it. The more oblique the angle, the deeper the texture will present themselves.
Light trails are basically Long Exposure shots that take place around moving sources of sunshine. There isn't much you'll want to be able to take these shots, but an adequate camera, and other equipment can help, although some people might be unnecessary. I will start to explain the basic principles.
When light level sets out to go in that area are three things that you can adjusted. The ISO number represents how light-sensitive you guessed it-your camera is and setting a higher number may make your camera juicier. The aperture is a hole in your lens you'll be able to make larger to let lighter in. In this case, a lesser number means a larger aperture. The third adjustment you can also make is to the shutter speed, exposing consumers for an extended period.
Then allow me to discuss why we need a pinhole digital slur camera? It can help give you the assurance of home assurance. I think that no one likes living in fear. Whenever you home alone, you don't wish to be too ashamed. You want to go rest peacefully and make great a sense of knowing you actually and your loved ones are taken care of. Your wife may feel secure having a burglar system and security camera around the home, which makes her feel, better than you, would do wise to make her feel unhazardous. The un-security sense at heart can always happens when you've got may living now in a safe neighborhood and will not need protection from the crooks out normally.
Num 6. 0. Don't go tight regarding your clothing promotions. I'm not referring to baggy assure too tight either. In case you go to tight as well as choices of garments, can indent pores and skin. Which will display up each morning photos and take away from your attractiveness.
To copy her belief, Amy has produced an information package showing amateur photographers how you can reach out and produce photographic work of superior quality.

Paulina Eglė Pukytė (b. 1966, Vilnius) studied art in Vilnius and London and divides her time between the two cities. She is an artist, writer, essayist and cultural commentator. In 2017 she curated the 11th Kaunas Biennial, an exhibition of site-specific interventions concerned with the (im)possibility of a monument. She writes critical and satirical articles on cultural issues, and has published a collection of essays and two experimental fiction books. In her visual art practice she makes site-specific interventions and still and moving images, often using found artefacts: objects, images and texts. At the same time poetic and ironic, humorous and critical, her work twists perspectives and meanings, questioning accustomed truths, deconstructing socio-ideological myths and socio-cultural clichés. Pukytė is interested in flaws of perception and memory, and employs chance and coincidence in her work. She stands in artistic opposition to the dominant discourse. Her art strategies are often consciously restrained, almost invisible. She is drawn to the marginal, even banal, rehabilitating what is seemingly unimportant and "inferior" but terribly human.
Pukytė will visit Israel to take part in the exhibition "Dead Honeys" at the Artists' Residence, and a public event dealing with monuments and nationality with curator Udi Edelaman at the Israeli Center for Digital Art, following the last Kaunas Biennial.
Pukytė's visit is possible thanks to the Lithuanian Culture Institute.

Sometimes 802.11g is referred as "G". It is an IEEE wireless standard which was an improvement on 802.11a and 802.11b and came out in June 2002. Like the other version of Wi-Fi standards, "G" supports WLAN (Wireless LAN) communication between host computers, routers, and other consumer devices.
- Suggested read: What is a Wireless Network? How does it work?
Features of 802.11g
Theoretically, "G" can reach a data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, which is same as the earlier standard 802.11a but higher than more widely used standard 802.11b, which allowed a maximum transfer rate 11 Mbps.
Like many other methods of networking, "G" cannot achieve the maximum data transfer rate in practice. Considering the network bandwidth used by overheads of the communication protocol, it can reach a data transfer rate between 24 Mbps and 31 Mbps.
"G" standard uses a modulation scheme called orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM was first introduced with 802.11a.
OFDM is a method to manipulate digital signal in which a single data stream splits into separate narrowband channels. All these channels operate at different frequencies which helps in reducing interference and crosstalk.
"G" can operate 14 channels of communication. A channel refers to a physical transmission medium. For instance, in case of a wired network, a wire would be a channel.
A radio channel refers merely to a logical connection which operates on a specific band of frequencies. Each of these channels transmits radio waves at frequencies between 2.412 GHz and 2.484 GHz (the same band as 802.11b).
Compatibility with 802.11b
Before the introduction of 802.11g, most networks employed 802.11b standard which allowed speeds up to 11 Mbps. The modulation method in 802.11g was updated to OFDM which reduced interference and crosstalk while increased the network speed up to 54 Mbps.
To ensure backward compatibility, "G" operated at the same frequency band as 802.11b. An access point compatible with 802.11b could be upgraded to 802.11g by updating the firmware.
Home networking with "G"
At the time of the release of" G", Wi-Fi was being adopted widely for use in homes. With 802.11g combining the best elements of 802.11a and 802.11b, a large number of laptop brands were equipped with hardware (Wi-Fi radios) that supported 802.11g.
Many home networks today still use"G" routers. At 54Mbps, these routers can handle high-speed connections used for video streaming and online gaming. These wifi routers are also inexpensive and readily available on retail.
Problems with 802.11g
The frequency spectrum employed by 802.11g (2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz) is shared with different household appliances and medical devices.
So, like 802.11b,"G" devices also suffer interference from other devices operating in the same band, such as wireless keyboards. 802.11g can reach a speed of 54 Mbps (theoretically) which is considered high speed for a single user.
However, when multiple users are connected, the speed decreases drastically and hard to work with. So setting up large networks with 802.11g is a challenge.

Dear President Bush:
Why did a U.N. official's remark soon after the tsunami hit that rich countries are "stingy" stir such a furor in the U.S.? We are a thick-skinned people, inventors of "Crossfire" and the NFL, led by a president who takes pride in disregarding foreign opinion. Yet even though Jan Egeland, the U.N. point person for disaster relief, did not single out the U.S., his words hit a raw nerve.

The Trump administration has taken another step toward building a wall on the US border with Mexico, even as funding for the project remains in question.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced it will award contracts to four companies to build four prototypes for the wall.
The CBP has provided few details of the concrete prototypes and said funding for four other prototypes for a see-through structure will be awarded next week.
The prototypes will cost a total of 3.6 million dollars (£2.8 million).
Donald Trump made the construction of the wall his signature issue in last year's presidential campaign. He promised that Mexico would pay for it, but Mexico has refused.
The US president is now demanding that US Congress should fund the wall, and has threatened to shut the government if it does not do so.

I had a great weekend! How about you? Especially on Saturday, when I attended Envie De Neuf's first ever tea party held in Singapore ever since they first arrived here.
Congratulations on the success of the party and overwhelming response. I sure do hope there are more of such parties in the near future.
Though I have been the Ambassador of Envie De Neuf for almost a year now, this is the first time I have been officially introduced to their warm and friendly customers. It was so nice speaking and having small talks with them.
Ok, let me walk you through the entire event with pictures from my personal photographer (ahem, that would be the hubs). We did not manage to get a lot of other pictures since he was following me throughout the event, as Envie De Neuf had their official photographers and videographer to cover the rest of the event. When I do get the pictures from them, I may make a part II blog post on that. :)
The tea party started at 230pm for registration of guests. Guests started making purchases or get skin analysis and demonstrations done by the wonderful and dedicated team of skin consultants. Lots and lots of pastries, cakes, wine & juices were being offered by servers throughout the party.
Guests started to arrive early to purchase all the wonderful bundle promotions available at the event. Registrations were made and for those who have made purchases on that day, they were entitled to the lucky draw at the end of the event, the draw was conducted by Yours truly. :)
I do wish to warn you before you continue reading on, LOADS OF PICTURES in this post! And pictures are non-edited. What you see is what you get! :p
This was the wonderful sight that greeted me when I arrived at 2pm.
I was received by Miss Janet of Envie De Neuf, who gave me a quick brief on the event line-up and loaded me with loads of drinks and food!
Reading through program line-up and checking when is my segment.
Miss Janet and I 'braving' the crowd. Introducing me to friends and guests of Envie De Neuf. What a warm and friendly bunch.
Envie De Neuf's skin consultants hard at work.
And introducing their star consultant, Elsie.
A super sweet lady who goes out of her way to make you comfortable. She has been commended for her warm nature in going out of her way to assist customers asking for things outside her work scope.
Elsie and I having our usual jokes and laughs when we meet.
Even my mom caught the attention of the emcee.
My mom is slightly over her mid 60's and has been using Envie De Neuf's products ever since I introduced them to her. She uses almost no makeup now as compared to before where she relied on thick creamy concealers and foundation to cover up her pigmentation and scarring. As seen in this picture, she has no makeup on (lazy Saturday). Hardly any wrinkles and pigmentation in sight and skin is full of radiance. :)
My mom uses : Q10 essence (serum)
Platinum cellwhite hydromasks
Idebenone Silk essence
Fullerene C60
Here is us being first introduced and Carol having her 'Before' picture taken.
Carol sharing with the audience what her favourite Envie De Neuf products are.
Who else to do the skin care demonstration other than Star consultant, Elsie!
My turn!
I did a very sheer natural and dewy makeover for Carol. A quick 10minute makeover you can achieve on your own. Wear this look to work or for a weekend date. Works especially well for Carol's good skin and young active lifestyle. Like what I always say, Less is sometimes More!
Tadah! Carol is happy , she still can recognise herself in the mirror yet add some colour to her face.
Lucky Draw time! Total of 7 prizes to be won. One of the prizes was a sponsored Personal one-to -one makeup class with me.
This lady, Jeron, spoke to me briefly just before the lucky draw. She was asking for makeup tips and EDN products to use prior to makeup. After that I told her, 'hopefully you win my prize so that you can have a personal one-to-one makeup class with me'.
And when I picked the lucky draw coupon (at that time I did not know her name yet), I saw her eyes lit up when her name was announced by the emcee. Talk about being LUCKY :)
Then I had to fulfil my responsibilities as Brand Ambassador. Posing for pictures , especially for the new product launches!
Leaving you with my Envie De Neuf MUST-HAVES!
- Pure hyaluronic Acid Elixir (serum)
- Dna eye serum
- Q10 Yeast mousse makeup cleanser
- Instant Biphase eye & lip makeup remover
- Platinum cellwhite hydromask
- Fullerene C60 (moisturiser)
- Dual Effect Overnight beauty gel (sleeping mask)

Does chaining your dog make it aggressive?
The question; does chaining your dog make it aggressive? have been asked time without numbers. Especially by those who want their dogs aggressive.
The answer to this question is YES!
The fact is this, one of the best ways to make a dog aggressive is by Chaining it. We all know that dogs are social creatures and as such should be treated as one. When these benefits are taken off them, thereby, resulting to them chained they become easily teased although, this may be directly or indirectly.
A dog on chain be easilyteased or tormented by either humans or animals in and around the environment. Even though these teasing may not be consciously targeted to them by seeing people pass by, seeing children playing and screaming around day after day, can trigger or bring out his territorial, protection, guarding and prey instinct. As his level of frustration or stress heightens, so does his aggression or aggressive level increases too. When this aggression level increases, it makes the dog become a very deadly tool or weapon which can cause harm and havoc. Although, there are advantages of chaining a dog dog. But the hazards of chaining a dog can be great. Also, the behavioural/mental side effects can also be dangerous too.
In 2004, Anthony Williams chained his dog (a put bull) to a tree and went into his house. Seeing children in the compound playing and shouting. The dog was angry and charged, barking at them till eventually the chain got loose and the children fled. Running for their lives, one fell and was killed by the dog. Mr. Anthony was charged with second degree murder and his dog was killed.
So you see, an aggressive dog can put you into trouble.

The Wisconsin Disability Vote Coalition is working to ensure a strong turnout of voters with disabilities at the polls, and to address barriers that voters with disabilities may encounter when exercising this important civil right. People with disabilities accounted for over 35 million eligible voters in 2016, according to Rutgers University. That figure jumps to over 62 million eligible voters when you count family members in the same household – over 25% of eligible voters.
Although the impact of the disability vote is significant, voter participation among people with disabilities decreased over the past two presidential elections — from 57.3 percent in 2008 to 56.8 percent in 2012 and 55.9 percent in 2016. An October 2017 study by the US Government Accountability Office found that nearly two-thirds of the polling places inspected on Election Day 2016 had at least one impediment to people with disabilities. Other contributing factors include a lack of training for poll workers, limited access to registration materials, requirements for photo ID, and insufficient resources for election officials.
To ensure that Wisconsinites with disabilities can fully participate in the electoral process, the law provides these protections:
- Curbside voting is available if a voter cannot enter the polling place due to a disability on Election Day. Two poll workers will bring a ballot to the individual needing assistance, and conduct voting at their vehicle, or at the polling place entrance. Proof of residence must be provided if a voter is not registered. Proof of identification must be provided.
- An accessible voting machine should be available in every polling place. This machine will allow voters to independently mark the ballot. These machines will be set up to allow voters who use a wheelchair to reach the controls, and have an audio ballot-marking option for voters with visual impairment.
- If a voter inside the polling location cannot sign the poll list due to a physical disability, they should inform a poll worker. The poll worker will write "Exempt by order of inspectors" in the signature space on the poll list.
- If a voter needs help marking the ballot, he or she may have a person assist them. That person does not need to be qualified to vote. The voter may not receive assistance from an employer or a representative of that voter's labor organization.
- Other reasonable accommodations can be requested. Speak to the chief inspector at the polling place or the municipal clerk. Contact information for municipal clerks is online athttps://elections.wi.gov/
- Homeless voters are eligible to vote in Wisconsin. When registering, they may use a letter from a social service agency as proof of residence. They will need to show a photo ID.https://elections.wi.gov/node/

Hi Shirley - thanks for your interest and post here. I really think the strength program will help tremendously, so really dive into that.
As for the HR zones and program, you could initially begin the program by just doing the 20 min HR test. This will get you going and there is not much speed orientated runs at the beginning and since you are struggling with some chronic aches and pains, it might help to focus first on the HR runs.
In any rate, when you are ready for the one mile test, just message me with your result and I can work up some speed zones for you.
Thanks again and keep us all posted on your progress - lots of great support here.
Hello Shirley welocome to The Cool Impossible, there are some wonderful, genuine people here that are truely interested in your progress and well being. Remember you've already done the hardest thing, you've started your journey.
As Eric said keep us all posted on your progress
Cheers Robert
Hello everyone. I just need some claryfication about the tests speed/hr zones. The 'one mile run' is a test for speed zones, and 20 minutes run is meant for HR zones. Am I right?
Thank you!
Hi Mike!
Thank you for the answer and more informations on this topic. Since I run mostly ultra trail races, I think I can go with 1 mile test results (since Eric uses it in Marathon Program ;) ).
The foot strenghthening exercises and others I've been already doing from some time and definietly it is just a great program which I recommend to all runners.
I was thinking to start The Foundation Program after the end of races season, that's why I asked about the tests. My last run is going to be the next week, so it would be something good to start working for the next season after that :)

There could be a number of reasons for a person to choose distance learning for high school, and almost as many programs from which to choose. The pros and cons of distance learning for highschool should be carefully considered as well as the quality of the institution at which the classes are taken.
Understanding the reasons behind distance learning is an important first step. It is the process of achieving an educational goal without physically attending a classroom. All learning is done through online classes and testing. When choosing an online institution for distance learning for highschool care must be taken to ensure it meets the accreditation requirements if the high school certificate is going to be used to get into college.
Persons with disabilities, people with responsibilities at home who cannot take the opportunity to attend traditional schools and even child actors have the educational opportunities as those attending traditional high schools. Distance learning for highschool allows them to learn at their own pace, some faster than others; allows them to work around home schedules or still finish high school while completing their responsibilities at home.
Weigh Online Options Carefully
On the downside of distance learning for high school are the societal learnings that come from being in a classroom setting. Interaction with your peers and events such as senior prom, other dances, sporting events and having a teacher present of whom to ask questions if you are stuck on a subject.
For those who have been out of school for a while, and have some high school under their belts, distance learning for high school can be a blessing. The desire to complete a program and earn a General Education Diploma (GED) can help them achieve what could be a personal goal, or an opportunity to further their education for job possibilities.
The reason a person chooses to pursuer distance learning for high school is a personal choice. Making sure the program they choose is a necessity. There are, unfortunately, many places online that offer distance learning for highschool that are only trying to make money of someone's dream. Some of them have no accreditation and the money you pay for a program, buys you a worthless piece of paper.
If you are planning to use a diploma received through distance learning for high school to get into a program for higher education, contact the facility to plan to attend to verify the diploma you will receive will be accepted before you pay any money for that diploma.

Colour metaphor poem
Red is a St. Valentine's Day card
bursting with kisses, hugs and
sweet nothings.
Red is anger
exploding inside your head
spreading out and overwhelming your existence.
Red is the cracking of logs in a sparkling fireplace
in a cabin in the mountains.
Red is the cloak of Little Red Riding Hood
pacing up and down the wood
as if she were an out-of-control dart.
Red is a teacher's pen
crawling over piles of tests waiting to be checked
yelling and twirling at each red mark left on them.
Red is the blood
gushing out of unhealed wounds
howling at the unquenchable pain of existence.
Being Young, Being Old
I'm old enough to fart in public without feeling embarrassed.
I'm young enough to sing while taking a shower, sing while cycling to school, hum while cooking, dance while doing the chores.
I'm too young to think about death or worry about choosing my burial place.
I'm too old to drink milk from a bottle or suck a pacifier, thought I wish I could still do both of them.
When I am forty I will throw an unforgettable party.
When I am fifty I will go on holiday more often.
When I am sixty I will retire and spend six months in Canada and six in Italy.
When I am not here anylonger I will be dancing with a semi-god in Heaven.
My Memory Poem
We used to laugh and have fun togehter
but now we live in two different worlds. I'm here among living beings, you are there among only God knows whom.
We used to make crostoli together and sfuff our faces with them
but now we do not have the chence to be physically together.
You used to cook a special rice soup for me whenever I was feeling blue
but now you are far away cooking for somebody I don't know.
I'm just left with the memories of your laugher, of your voice, of your smudged lipstick, of your backcombed hair, of your sparkling intelligence, of your biting irony, of your crafty hands, capable of making beautiful fancy dresses. Once you turned me into a fairy.
Once you turned my into a gypsy.
Once you turned me into an icecream.
Once you turned me into an Indian.
Carnival was longed for, now it is not anylonger.
If love was…
If love was a pair of ice-skates
I would move soflty on frozen lakes.
If love was a sailing boat
I would be crossing the oceans.
If love was a pari of sneakers
I would be fit 24 hours a day.
If love was an Emily Dickinson's poem
I would never stop reading it.
If love was a bright red Ferrari
I would be fined for speeding every day.
If love was a fridge I would stack it up with sparkling wine.
If love was a book of blank pages
I would fill them in with words of ever tender sweetness.
If love was free merchandise
people would not appreciate it.
If love had no barriers
it would bless our day.
Childhood memories
I remember the sound of your chuckles when bursting out laughing.
I remember the fragrance of daisies dotting the lawn where I crawled in search of LIFE.
I remember the wagging tail of my dong, fanning my face, caressing my cheecks, tickling my nose and making me sneeze.
I remember the tingy taste of frozen ice-cream on my parching tongue.
I remember my spinning top, twirling colours, dashing images, making my head spin along.
I remember feeling part of the cosmos when I ran in open fields.
I remember I felt sad when I was away from my pets.
I remember that I was very sad when my donkey Linda ate a piece of wire hidden in the hay and had to be put to sleep to stop her pain.

Who doesn't love cheering for the unheralded underdog? Watching the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Retrievers become the first NCAA men's basketball #16 seed to defeat a #1 seed was fantastic. In one-game scenarios, it is difficult to find a bigger upset in my books, because very few other sports have the 64th ranked team playing the #1 team in a playoff scenario.
Some tweeted me saying the 1980 USA Hockey victory over the Soviet Union, which is a good example, but I'd go with a #16 over a #1, especially because the Retrievers crushed them by 25 points. It wasn't like they got lucky. They dominated Virginia. Virginia was the only NCAA Division 1 program who hadn't given up 70 points in a game all season, until Friday night.
Will we see some upsets in the 2018 NHL playoffs? I hope so.
The Retrievers victory was extremely impressive, but I also tip my hat to Virginia head coach Tony Bennett in his post-game interview with Tracy Wolfson.
"It stings. I tried to tell the guys in there, 'This is life. It can't define you. You enjoyed the good times, and you've got to be able to take the bad times. When you step into the arena, the consequences can be historic losses, big losses, great wins. And you have to deal with it.' That's the job. I don't know what to say but that was a thorough butt-whipping."
Sports can teach us so much about ourselves when we win or lose. The Virginia young men will carry the tag of first #1 team to lose in the opening round, but I love Bennett's quote about it not defining them. Ultimately, it is just sports. I'm as passionate about sports as you are, but it is great to read reminders that if you play sports, or you son or daughter plays sports, it is not who you or they are. It is just something they do.
1. Since 1971, only three times (not including lockout shortened 1995 and 2013) has the NHL goal-scoring leader not scored 50 goals: Teemu Selanne (47) in 1999, Jarome Iginla, Rick Nash and Ilya Kovalchuk (41) in 2004) and Sidney Crosby (44) last season. This year Alex Oveckhin and Patrik Laine are tied with 43 goals with ten games remaining. Both are on pace for 49 goals, but I hope one reaches 50. The race for the Maurice Richard Trophy should go down to the final weekend. Laine is on fire. He's on a 15-game point streak, putting up 18 goals and 26 points. He could become only the second player from a Canadian team to win the Richard Trophy, after Iginla won it in 2002 and shared it in 2004.
2. Yesterday Jesse Puljujarvi was the only Oilers forward to not get any PP time. Anton Slepyshev had :15 seconds, Iiro Pakarinen had :34, Mike Cammalleri had 1:04, Ty Rattie had 1:43. The top guys had a lot with Leon Draisaitl at 8:17, Connor McDavid at 6:46, Oscar Klefbom 6:29, Ryan Strome 6:30 and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 5:44. Milan Lucic had 2:14. It seems odd Puljujarvi didn't get a sniff.
Since February 1st, Puljujarvi is seventh on the Oilers in most PP time (15 minutes). However, it has mainly been the top unit of McDavid, Draisaitl (63 min each), Klefbom, Strome (55 each) and Lucic, 44 minutes. RNH only played in eight of the 23 games. Despite producing little offence, the first unit hasn't changed much. They are only seven of 50 over the past 23 games, 30th worst PP in the NHL. Draisaitl has four goals, McDavid has two and Puljujarvi has the other one. Why would he get no PP time yesterday?
Puljujarvi did play the fourth most EV minutes of any Oilers forward yesterday, but to not give him any on the PP, in a rare game where the Oilers actually had a lot of PP time, is odd. It seems Jay Woodcroft is married to the top-unit. Yes, they created some good chances, and yes Lucic lost his spot to Nugent-Hopkins, but the powerplay is not improving. Regardless of what the staff want to say about shot attempts; goals are what matter. The Oilers PP has sucked the hind banana (RIP Pat Quinn) since November 20th. It is a league-worst 11.2% in their past 52 games. The four left shots and one right shot on the first unit is not working. I don't care how many new formations they make with the existing five players, but it isn't working. Why not at least try two right-handed shots with McDavid and Draisaitl? It literally can't get any worse than being dead last in the NHL for the past four months.
3. They changed personnel on the PK and it worked. Draisaitl and Strome have really helped up top because they haven't allowed the seam pass as easily as we saw earlier in the season. Of course abandoning the ridiculous "I" or "L" formation they used with the two forwards in a straight line in the slot has helped as well. Cam Talbot has been better also, but the new formation and new players has helped the PK. The PP unit is not working, and while it looks like they will try RNH in place of Lucic more, that still has four lefties, none of whom thinks shoot first.
4. The NHL's annual GM meetings are going on in Florida today. Of course goal interference will be a hot topic. I won't pretend there is a simple answer, but they will tweak something, and likely find some common ground on what is, and what isn't goalie interference. However, there is one EASY rule decision they can make: the offside review has eliminated way too many goals that shouldn't be called back. When a player skates, at some point his skate will come off the ice — it is the natural part of skating. If a skate is off the ice, but not inside the blueline prior to the puck, it should not be ruled offside. This is so simple.
Malkin is skating across the blueline. He doesn't gain entry into the zone any quicker. There is zero advantage gained by him. The NHL is eliminating goals for no sane reason. If your skate is off the ice, but not in the zone it is a good goal. Simple. Please, NHL GMs: common sense isn't your enemy.
5. The Calgary Flames are unofficially out of the playoffs. They have nine games remaining and are four points back of Los Angeles for the second wildcard spot, but have to jump over the Kings, Stars and Blues to get in. If they go 7-2 then the Kings have to go 4-5-1, Dallas has to win only four of nine and the Blues can only go 5-5. The Flames likely won't win any tiebreakers due to having only 33 ROW. They are done. And that makes six playoff teams from last year who are out including Edmonton, Montreal, Chicago, Ottawa and the Rangers. If the Blues miss that will be seven, and if one of Anaheim, Minny or Columbus somehow miss then it will be an NHL-record eight teams who miss the postseason after making it the previous year.

Difference Between Blackberry Torch 2 and Blackberry Torch 9800
This year RIM will launch a new phone in Torch series. It is being guessed that Blackberry Torch 2 will be a very effective device. It has a 1.2 GHz processor, an 8 GB inbuilt memory for running Blackberry OS 6.1. It is quite similar to Torch 9800 from the exterior design. The processor is two times faster compared to Torch 9800. Moreover, it will include a 3.2" VGA touch screen, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixels camera, NFC and a lot more. By the end of last year the Blackberry Torch 9800 was released which is a trendy and sophisticated phone that runs on Blackberry OS 6.0. It includes features like universal search that enables the user to search for any file, document or folder that is in the phone or on the internet. It is the most initial Touch series phone that has integrated the design of Storm and Bold's slide out full QWERTY keyboard.
Torch 9800 consists of a 3.2" HVGA display with a 480x360pixels resolution, 8GB internal memory and more with a micro SD card of over 32 GB, 512MB RAM with a 5.0 MP camera. Also it has a built in Wi-Fi that supports 802.11n that brings in 3 times faster connectivity. The power is switched on in a shorter duration too. The impact that the phone gives on the costumer is also very gratifying and pleasant. Its sleek wet look and fine deign also helps in creating a good first impression and it also consists of applications such as PrimeTime2Go and Kobo eReaders.

With over 25 years of downhill racing knowledge, the M-series' legendary legacy continues, although the M29 is not 'just' a bigger brother of the M16. With specifically designed kinematics and geometry to compliment the 29-inch wheels, the M29 is a fast, fierce and fun downhill bike as competed by our athletes Aaron Gwin, Neko Mulally and Jack Moir.
With special features and some of the finest DH components on the market such as an optimized carbon layup, high quality wheels, internal cable routing as well as the distinguished M29 frame that was developed with the INTENSE Factory Racing team, the M29 is as striking as it is nimble when it comes to the challenges of downhill. It was prototyped in racing, in fact one of the original M29 alloy mules finished on the podium with Jack Moir at Fort William in 2017 – an emphatic moment, and absolute confirmation of the potential that would be unlocked for everyone to enjoy once the M29 project reached production status.

Morris Iugaaq Kiyutelluk
Morris Iugaaq Kiyutelluk was born September 16, 1939 at the mouth of Arctic River, 20 miles east of Shishmaref to Alfred and Dolly Kiyutelluk. He went to be with the Lord on March 16, 2020 at the age of 80-years-old.
Morris (better known as Moe or Papa Moe to many) attended Mt. Edgecumbe High School and graduated with high honors in 1959. After graduating high school Morris and Peter Tocktoo served two years in the United States Army stationed in Georgia where they also worked together. They also had the privilege of attending an event where they were able to meet and shake hands with the late President John F. Kennedy.
Morris loved hunting, camping and berry picking. One of his favorite pastimes was searching and finding old ivory of which he found many throughout his lifetime. He also loved teaching his family the traditional lifestyle preparing and enjoying subsistence foods. Morris was known for his kind smile and a warm heart along with many accomplishments that focused on community growth.
Morris served his community as a board member sporadically in his lifetime. He served on the Shishmaref Native Corporation board and the Native Village of Shishmaref (IRA) board where he often shared his thoughts and was a strong voice for community concerns.
Morris also played a huge role in helping re-establishing and form the Shishmaref Dance group in the late 1980s after Russian dancers visited and performed for the community of Shishmaref.
Morris highly valued the traditional Alaska Native lifestyle and respected the land. He worked tirelessly to share traditional knowledge and values of the Kigiqtamiut Inupiat people of Shishmaref, Alaska. Morris was an oral storyteller, which was passed on to him and his siblings from his dad Alfred Kiyutelluk. He gathered most of his dad's stories and began transcribing them onto paper. His work was kept in the attic where he grew up. During the storm, when the old house collapsed, all the stories were lost at sea. He kept the stories alive by sharing them with the youth and community members during the annual Shishmaref Inupiaq Days.

MORRIS HEIGHTS, the Bronx — Police are looking for a 45-year-old man who allegedly attacked a woman in the Bronx, an NYPD spokesperson said Saturday.

Paso Robles Harvest Marathon October 26
Volunteers needed, proceeds benefit Paso Robles High School student athletes
Paso Robles High School Athletic Director Tom Harrington is looking for volunteers for the 5th Annual Paso Robles Harvest Marathon — and he reminds the community that there's still time to sign up for the marathon, half marathon or 5K. The event will be held at Le Vigne Winery on Sunday, Oct. 26 and is put on by the Paso Robles Rotary and Paso Robles Bearcat Athletic Boosters, a non-profit organization supporting all student athletes at Paso High.
The event begins at 7 a.m. with the full and half marathon runners, with the 5K starting at 8 a.m. This year the 5K will be a scenic run through the vines. All runners will receive a Harvest Marathon shirt, swag bag, and free race photo. Prizes will be awarded to the top runners. This event is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier and is recognized by the California Half and Full Marathon Series.
"This year we will be serving a Bearcat Breakfast at 8 a.m. followed by a taco lunch starting at 11 a.m.," said Harrington. "We will also have a beer and wine garden, and a live band. On race day, there will be a expo with several vendors providing giveaway, product information, and demonstrations."
All runners near and far are welcome to participate and the public is encouraged to come out to Le Vigne to enjoy the event. The tasting room opens to the public at 10 a.m. and the beer and wine garden will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the garden area. Bring your lawn chairs and come out and enjoy the event.
"All of the proceeds benefit Paso Robles High School athletics," said Harrington, "and it takes numerous volunteers to make this race happen."
He cites the following needs:
- Volunteers to work aid stations throughout the course, assist registration, and assist traffic safety teams. If interested, contact Anthony Overton at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Pop-up shade structures for the finish area. Be sure to put your name on the pop-up and the cover and deliver to the PRHS Athletic Office. We will get them to the race venue and you can pick them up at PRHS on Monday 10/27. Contact Athletic Director Tom Harrington for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com
For more information on participating in the full marathon, half marathon, or 5K, or for information on being a sponsor or having a booth at the expo, please visit www.harvestmarathon.com or www.bearcatboosters.com.

When Ettamarie Peterson was growing up, she never dreamed she'd be living on a farm with cows, horses and bees. As a city girl living in downtown Sacramento, she just wanted to become a school teacher.
Peterson did become a school teacher, and 18 years ago she retired from a 37 year career teaching. While Peterson might be retired, she's definitely not done educating today's children, particularly about agriculture.
The diversified farm where she lives in Petaluma is far from where Peterson saw herself as she was growing up knowing nothing about the agriculture that surrounded her. Peterson's first interaction with agriculture was in the late 60's when her husband Ray, who was working in San Francisco, bought 20 head of Angus cattle.
When purchasing the cattle, the Petersons had been informed the heifers were not bred, but one evening as Peterson was at the farm without her husband, her daughter told her she thought one of the cows was having a calf. Unsure what to do, Peterson called the neighbor who suggested she call the vet. The cow was indeed having a calf, and Peterson ended up helping the vet pull the calf.
"I was a city girl pulling a calf in Potter Valley, and that was my intro to farming. After that everything seemed easy," Peterson recalled.
When Peterson began teaching, she lived in Lafayette in the 60's with her husband and children, but remembers the community she lived in as being focused on money and often racist. Peterson knew that was not how she wanted to raise her children, and her experience from the Potter Valley ranch made her realize that country people were different. In her experience, they were more open-minded and accepting.
The Petersons moved to their Petaluma ranch in 1972 where they have lived since. And while their focus has changed, moving from a herd of cattle to a couple of cows they raise more as pets, agriculture is still important to Peterson.
On her Petaluma farm, Peterson has more than 70 chickens, a large vegetable garden, a sunflower patch, two cow-calf pairs, two horses, three rabbits, two dogs and seven beehives.
While Peterson's animals and crops provide some financial income, they serve a more important purpose: to educate elementary school age children about agriculture and where their food comes from.
Peterson hosts school groups ranging from small classes to groups having an upwards of 60-80 children. She often hosts third graders as their curriculum includes studying insects.
Peterson teaches about bees and worms, in addition to having the students feed the animals. With larger classes, she breaks students into groups where they can learn about bees, rotate and learn about worms and composting and then switch a third time to feed the animals.
She said the highlight for many students is feeding large animals. Students can feed the cows alfalfa cubes and are taught how to hold their hand flat when feeding a horse. They also have the opportunity to see and interact with many of the farms other animals including the chickens, rabbits and a goose.
When teaching about bees, Peterson has an observation colony for students to see the bees' colony through clear glass. Students can look on each side of the colony and see hundreds of bees working to produce honey. They can also search for the queen bee in the colony.
Peterson has a collection of props she uses to educate children ranging from honeycomb to beeswax to puppets.
"I was a teacher for 37 years, so it all comes naturally," said Peterson. She said teachers often appreciate the fact that she was a school teacher, knowing how to speak with children and set safety rules.
"It's really good for children to come out to the farm," said Peterson. "I want to teach agriculture." Peterson explains that she doesn't entice teachers to bring students with anything "hokey" such as jump houses, and the students receive a true experience by visiting her farm.
Students touring Peterson's farm take home honey sticks and sunflower seeds grown on the farm which they can plant in the spring.
Peterson's sunflowers serve a dual purpose, to provide food for the bees and food for people. In addition to the sunflowers, much of the Peterson Farm is planted with flowers and crops that provide food for the bees. The property isn't certified organic, but it is certified bee friendly, something Peterson finds much more important.
In her spare time, one of Peterson's hobbies includes taking photos of the bees on flowers. She has a special lens for her camera that allows her to get close to the plants to photograph the bees up close and personal.
Just as Peterson never planned to be involved with farming, Peterson never thought she would become a beekeeper. She first became fascinated with bees when she found out they were living in the barn wall.
Peterson made a window in the wall to watch the bees which would later become her observation hive to teach students. One day, the bees swarmed out by a mailbox near the road and someone called a beekeeper. When the beekeeper showed up, Peterson showed him where she had been watching the bees in the barn.
The beekeeper suggested Peterson go to a local store where she could buy a bee box, and in a few days when it was assembled, the beekeeper would bring the swarm back to live in the hive.
That was how Peterson gained her first hive, and she now has six more. Shortly after she had her first bee hive, Peterson joined the Sonoma County Beekeepers' Association, where she has served as President and now manages their newsletter. Peterson has also taken trips to Ireland to learn about beekeeping.
Each of Peterson's hives produces more than 30 and up to 60lbs of honey each year when she harvests around June. She sells all of her honey each year within a couple months and said she could sell more, especially if she harvested the honey earlier in the year, but there isn't enough food for more bees.
Peterson said most people don't realize how hard it is to keep bees alive nor how much food it takes for the bees. While bees can fly three miles a day, it takes one acre to feed each beehive every day.
She notes that another problem with bees is many store bought pesticides harm the bees. Peterson said large agriculture in the county is not the problem, instead Peterson sees it as backyard farmers who buy chemicals at the store and don't read the label. She notes that most people want beautiful gardens but often don't understand how they're harming the bees.
"Yes, the bees are in danger, but we are our own worst enemy," said Peterson. She said she is adamant about teaching about bees to educate the general public. She describes bees as being the canary in the coal mine. "It's not just for the bees' sake, it's for our own. If we take care of our earth, we'll all be healthier."
Peterson also educates students through 4-H, where she is a longtime co-leader for the Liberty 4-H beekeeping project. She said it's neat to see the younger generation getting into to beekeeping. She loves how 4-H programs get families involved and are very family oriented and believes 4-H is helping to keep agriculture alive.
"I love living on a farm," said Peterson. "I can't imagine living anywhere else. I don't know how I lived in the city. Even if I'm old and crippled, I'll live on a farm."

Publisher's Description▼▲
You were meant to flourish!
Most of us have times when, if we're honest, it feels like we're going through a whole lot of pain and striving without much to show for it. Like our daily pursuits don't really matter in the long run.
At times like that, we can't help wondering if we matter at all in this world or to God.
In Chasing Vines, Beth Moore gives us fresh hope, revealing the abundant secrets of a fruitful, God-delighting life. Tracing the images of vine, branch, and fruit through Scripture, and sharing stories from her own journey, Beth shows us that nothing in our lives is wasted. Not the place we've been planted--or even the painful pruning. Nothing is for nothing.
Beth is convinced from Scripture that every person who knows Jesus is meant to thrive in fruitfulness. Life might not always be easy, but in Christ, it can always be immensely fruitful.
Join Beth on her journey of discovering the delights of bearing fruit, and fully embrace God's brilliant design for us to live a fruitful, abundant, meaningful life.

For my day job, I'm a vice president of information technology, and I'm responsible for managing 10 people who answer questions about software, hardware and every thing else that sits on associate's desks.
Even though I'm a VP, I don't get a corner office…I get the corner cubicle. And I'd encourage YOU to think about taking the corner cubicle too!
4 reasons why the corner cubicle is better than the corner office
Visibility – It's normal for me to be at my desk and there is no door, so I have perfect visibility into my team's functions…and they have visibility into mine. They can quickly see if I'm available or not, and they can ask questions. And I can see what's going on and offer assistance right away.
Accessibility – Similar to visibility is accessibility. Folks are much more apt to ask me questions when they can see me than if I were hidden away in an office behind a closed door. I want to help, and sitting in a cubicle means few barriers to talking to me.
Knowledge gathering – I can hear what's going on with my team right away. If I hear a few people buzzing about the same thing, in real-time, I can know what's going on and if we need to escalate something. It also helps me explain the situation to my manager and our CTO because invariably if something breaks, they want to know about it.
Dive in when needed – With all this visibility and accessibility, I know when it's time to help out and when it's time to step back. If things are going crazy, it only takes a second for me to dive in and help out, then I can quickly back away when things normalize.

BOSTON -- The next general manager of the Red Sox will come from outside the organization and have experience in the role, John Henry hopes.
The Red Sox owner laid out what he's looking for to take the organization forward in the wake of Dave Dombrowski's departure. He sounded unlikely, at least for now, to consider any of the four execs currently sharing GM responsibilities -- Eddie Romero, Brian O'Halloran, Zack Scott, and Raquel Ferreira.
That's in no small part because of the myriad challenges facing the franchise, from getting under the $208 million luxury-tax threshold, to dealing with the possible trade of reigning AL MVP Mookie Betts, to rebuilding the farm system.
"This is a tough job," Henry said. "This is a tough offseason, too. We talked about the challenges for the CBT [competitive balance tax], but I think we would all agree, there are a lot…this is a challenging offseason. So, to put one of the candidates you keep bringing up in charge and responsible for that, that's sort of a tough way to start your career as a general manager. So, we are starting the search looking outward."
Henry noted the difficulty of hiring GMs away from other franchises, but the Red Sox will be sure to inquire on a host of big-name candidates, whether it's Dodgers boss Andrew Friedman, Tampa's Chaim Bloom, or even Theo Epstein of the Cubs, who recently declared his allegiance to Chicago.
"We look at what some of the other teams are doing around the league," Werner said. "We want to be competitive with them in all facets."
As for the perception that the Red Sox lack stability, since they're about to hire their fourth baseball boss since 2011, Henry and Werner bristled.
"You know it's funny, I look at it as we've had three general managers since 2004, right? 2003, right?" Werner said. "I look at it as we've had three general managers in 17 years, right? So I don't look at that as -- not that we count but we have been successful bringing in a general manager from the outside and we've been successful by bringing in someone internally. But I consider, look, we all know Boston is an incredibly great sports town. It's also very demanding. We want to be excellent year in and year out. But I consider this position to be the most coveted or one of the most coveted in all of sports."
Henry talked about extending Dave Dombrowski the night the Red Sox won the World Series. He apparently had a change of heart by the time the Duck Boats started to roll.
It turns out the philosophical differences that led to Dombrowski's ouster predated the season.
"What changed quickly was right after the World Series, we had preliminary talks about our way forward and it was clear to me we weren't on the same page at that point," Henry said. "In fact, he and I talked about it that night, that Sunday evening, I think he disagreed with me about that, that we disagreed. We were even disagreeing, you might say, that we disagreed. There was a difference, I think, in how we thought we should move forward."
While Henry and Tom Werner went out of their way to praise Dombrowski's tenure, their issues weren't hard to discern: a bloated payroll that will hamstring the immediate future, and a lack of young talent coming through the minor league pipeline.
"One of the things that we talked about that I think is apparent is that we need to have more depth in our minor league system and more people coming up through the system that can be everyday baseball players," Henry said.
One Red Sox employee who needn't worry about his job security is manager Alex Cora. Henry said the manager will return next year, no matter who takes over as GM.

Back in March, we reported that Skydance was developing a modern adaptation of the 1975 conspiracy film, Three Days of the Condor. For those who haven't seen it, the movie follows a CIA researcher (played by Robert Redford) on the run after everyone else in his department is murdered. It sizzles with paranoia as Redford's character doesn't know who he can trust, and even the audience isn't sure how much he can do to make a difference. It's a bleak movie that's a true product of its time.
Skydance CEO David Ellison and CCO Dana Goldberg believe that time has come again. Steve interviewed the two in Berlin at the press day for Terminator Genisys, and learned more about what they're planning. Unsurprisingly, they'll be tapping into today's modern era of digital surveillance:
When you were talking about TV, I was really interested in Three Days of the Condor, being a 70s film fanatic. Was it the story which attracted you to that to make that into a series?
DANA GOLDBERG: Yeah, I mean we started talking about the idea of Condor in general, and for all of the CIA thriller type movies that have been made, that just that word, you say Condor, and everybody immediately knows what you're talking about. You don't even have to say Three Days of. When you say Condor people go 'oh, that was great'. And we just thought it's a great title and the inherent setup of that movie would be so great for a television show in this day and age, when between technology and the lack of privacy and the international landscape of what goes on, how rich is that gonna be? We hired Jason Smilovic, who is an incredible writer, and he's worked hand in hand with Marcy Ross, who runs our television division, and has created a script and bible that we think is just incredible.
DAVID ELLISON: Just to add to that, one of the things that I love and Jason talks about it a lot, is the original Condor very much predicted what happened…the original movie ends with the prediction of the war in the Middle East over oil, and there are writers like Tom Clancy who when you read his books you always felt like you were getting a peek behind the curtain as to what was going to happen next. That doesn't really exist today, so one of the things we very much hope that Condor is able to do is very much be the Condor for this generation and very much be predictive in regards to what's going to be happening with future events.
What will be interesting about a Three Days of the Condor TV series is that it will exist alongside the shows and movies it influenced. Our cynicism hasn't vanished, and our fears have deepened with privacy violations, although I wonder if the show will delve into how much we willingly divulge about our lives and how much that is collected not by the government, but by corporations.
