A Look Back at the Movies of Ray Bradbury

A Look Back at the Movies of Ray Bradbury

Jun 08, 2012

The literary world lost a truly great man this week: The outrageously talented, powerfully prolific, and overwhelmingly adored Ray Bradbury passed away at the age of 91. His body of work would be the envy of any working writer, and science fiction fans in particular quickly embraced the author as one of their favorite ambassadors. Heavy readers will of course know Mr. Bradbury from classic titles like The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and It Came from Outer Space (both 1953) -- Beast was loosely based on Bradbury's "The Fog Horn" (and boasts some fine Ray Harryhausen work) and Sea was an original story treatment that the author delivered to screenwriter Harry Essex. Jack Arnold's Outer Space is still considered one of the best alien invasion flicks of the 1950s. By me, anyway.

Moby Dick (1956) -- When the highly respected filmmaker known as John Huston decided to mount an adaptation of Herman Melville's classic maritime adventure, he went to ... a science ficion writer? Yup. Boasting some fine work from Gregory Peck, Orson Welles, and Richard Basehart, this is arguably the best big-screen version of the white whale's tale.

Fahrenheit 451 (1966) -- There are literary purists and hardcore science fiction aficionados who have specific issues with Francois Truffaut's adaptation of Bradbury's incendiary novel -- and film critics of the day were none too kind -- but like most good sci-fi films, this one has enjoyed a solid shelf life as, at least, a curiosity. And yes, "incendiary" was a bad pun. Sorry.

The Illustrated Man (1969) -- There are 18 stories in Bradbury's 1951 collection, and three of them are translated here, rather poorly in my opinion, with Rod Steiger as the central over-actor in each segment. Not including its truly arcane wrap-around segment, the tales covered here are The Veldt, The Long Rain, and The Last Night of the World. While this odd and mostly unpleasant relic is not what you'd call a good film, it's worth seeking out as a late-'60s sci-fi weird-fest.

Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) -- Now here's a Bradbury adaptation that has some actual nostalgia value. Movie nuts of my approximate age probably remember this Disney release (and/or perhaps Watcher in the Woods) as one of the first truly spooky family films. Although the film had a troubled production, with Bradbury leaving and then later returning, the author noted that he liked the final product. I mostly remember Jonathan Pryce, as Mr. Dark, scaring the poop out of me. (Not literally.) Plus it's not every day you see a Disney film that co-stars Jason Robards, Diane Ladd, and Pam Grier.

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989) -- I vaguely remembered this late-'80s Japanese import, but since it looked like kiddy stuff plastered with new American voices, I probably didn't care all that much. A closer inspection reveals that this movie has all sorts of weird bells and whistles. Not only is Ray Bradbury credited for "concept," but it's an American author being adapted by Japanese animators, and Chris Columbus is credited as one of the screenwriters, AND Mickey Rooney is in the voice cast. Also Jean "Mobius" Girard worked on the film. Wow. Now I really want to see this flick.

The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit (1998) -- How have I never seen this movie? Not only is it Ray Bradbury adapting his own play, which he adapted from his own story, but the director enlisted to bring it to life? Stuart Gordon! Yeah, the mostly horror guy! I feel shame at never having seen The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit, which stars Joe Mantegna (excellent!) and Edward James Olmos (sweet) and tells the tale of a magical suit that ... does Netflix have this?

A Sound of Thunder (2005) -- One of Mr. Bradbury's most memorable ideas is that if you went back in time and crushed a butterfly, it would have horrible "ripple effects" that echo through time. This frankly fascinating idea is handled rather poorly in this Edward Burns / Ben Kingsley version. Boasting some terrible special effects and a dreary screenplay, this flick was quickly forgotten. Until now, because I have a weird urge to revisit the film for some reason.

Regardless of how powerfully Mr. Bradbury's work may have impacted the silver screen, there's no doubt that he was a literary giant, a power on the small screen (hint: The Martian Chronicles) , and an admirable man in many important ways. Our condolences to the man's family, friends, and millions of fans.

(Thanks to IMDb and Wikipedia for their assistance, as always.)

Hillary and Bill Clinton blast Donald Trump, says he 'caused a diplomatic incident' during Mexico trip and 'damaged America' | MrIfeanyisBlog | #1 Blog For Juicy Entertainment News

Hillary and Bill Clinton blast Donald Trump, says he 'caused a diplomatic incident' during Mexico trip and 'damaged America'

Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill Clinton have blasted Donald Trump over his visit to Mexico last Wednesday.
Donald Trump had talked about building a wall between Mexico and USA to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking into the U.S but didn't bring up the topic while he visited Mexico's president Enrique Peña Nieto and Hillary and Bill Clinton have now slammed Donald Trump for 'creating a diplomatic incident.
'He didn't raise it, so he did choke. He didn't know how to even communicate effectively with a head of state. And I think that's a pretty clear outcome from that trip,' Hillary Clinton told ABC on Monday. He couldn't even bring himself to tell the president of Mexico one of his very few policy demands.'
And Bill Clinton, who was campaigning for his wife in Detroit, also blasted Trump - particularly his rally in Arizona immediately after the Mexico visit, in which he once again promised to make Mexico pay for the wall resulting in cheers from the crowd.
'I've had that job,' Bill, former US president said, according to ABC. (Trump's visit) damaged America and every serious country in the world. You cannot be the leader of a country, go down and be nice to people and then come home and dump on them for your own political benefit.'
There are about 11million undocumented immigrants living in the US and when Trump was asked if he plans to repatriate all of them or let some stay in the country, Trump replied;
'It could be, but what’s going to happen is if you’re going to be a citizen, you’re going to leave and you're going to have to come back. And if they don't want to become citizens, he said, 'they have to make a determination what happens when the border is secure. So you’re open to them staying here undocumented?' Trump was asked.  I’m going to make a decision, or somebody will,' he replied, 'Whether it’s me or somebody else because by that time we’ll have a secure border, we’ll have a wall.'
Senator Tim Kaine, who was also taking part in the ABC interview with Hillary Clinton, also criticized the Republican candidate.
He said: 'If you're gonna cave when you're with an ally, and Mexico's an ally, what are you gonna do when you're with an adversary?'
'You shouldn't leave the safety of America and our diplomacy in the hands of a rookie who, on his one visit with a foreign leader, has already created kind of an international embarrassment for us,' he continued.

The Fulani Republic of Nigeria (1) by Fani-Kayode......a must read! | MrIfeanyisBlog | #1 Blog For Juicy Entertainment News

Friday, January 20, 2017

The Fulani Republic of Nigeria (1) by Fani-Kayode......a must read!

The Sultan of Sokoto is the father of the Fulani people, the foremost traditional ruler in northern Nigeria and the spiritual leader of all northern Muslims. He is not just a traditional ruler but an all-powerful potentate who represents a strange and mystical power and who heads an ancient and dark empire.

Not only is he reverred by his subjects but he is also regarded and treated by some as something akin to a deity and by others as nothing less than the reincarnation of Sheik Usman Dan Fodio, the Sufi Muslim who founded the Caliphate empire by conquering and utterly crushing the Hausa kingdoms in a brutal and bloody jihad in northern Nigeria in 1804.

Whichever way his subjects choose to view him, whether as a deity or an all-conquering and all powerful jihadi war-lord, to the Muslims of the core north his word is law and absolutely everything revolves around him. He is the living symbol of Fulani power, strength and glory and the physical manifestation of the quest for Islamist domination.

Yet despite these lofty heights and undoubtedly rich and impressive heritage his people have slaughtered, subjugated and terrorised more Nigerians in the last 212 years since Usman Dan Fodio’s 1804 Jihad than ANY other ethnic group in our nation.

They have butchered more of their fellow Nigerians in that space of time than the white Boer settlers and farmers of apartheid South Africa butchered the black African population in Southern Africa in 363 years of white rule and domination since the time that the Dutch coloniser and admnistrator, Jan Van Riebeek, first put his foot on the South African Cape in 1653.

No African ethnic group has killed as many of their fellow Africans as the Fulani of northern Nigeria. Not even the Hutus of Rwanda, who did a whole lot of killing in the genocide of the early 1990’s, could match them. From the first Mahdi, Usman Dan Fodio, to the second, Sir Ahmadu Bello and to the third, General Muhammadu Buhari, the trail of blood, carnage, terror and religious compulsion and the inexplicable quest and insatiable desire to dominate, conquer, subjugate and control others trails them. This is as unacceptable as it is provocative.

The truth is that there is no place in any civilised society for any form of compulsion or ethnic and religious domination and bigotry I say this because I believe that the mark of civilisation is the ability to tolerate dissenting views and to accomodate those that do not share your faith or come from your tribe, ethnic stock or nationality.

If you are incapable of being tolerant of others simply because they are different or they come from a different place and if you cannot indulge in any form of accomodation of those that do not share your views, your faith or your bloodlines then you are nothing more than an uncivilised field hand and an intellectual barbarian.

If you are capable of both tolerance and accomodation of others, no matter how stange or absurd their views, their faith or their circumstances may be, then you are the epitomy of civilisation, decency, good breeding and good old fashioned class. The morale of the tale is as follows: to be tolerant and kind to ALL those that see things differently from you, to stand up against the intolerant and to resist the ignorant, the bigoted, the racist, the ethnic supremacist and the religious extremist. .

It is in an attempt to keep faith with this sacred resolution and honor this fundamental principle that I wish to bare my mind and share my views about the way forward for the Fulani Republic of Nigeria in this contribution. Those views are as follows. I am a nationalist. I believe in the rise and power of the nation state. I believe in the sovereignity of the will of the people. I believe in the right of independence and self-determination for all and sundry.

This is especially so for the numerous ethnic nationalities that make up the space called Nigeria. I believe in the right of the Igbo to have Biafra and the right of the Yoruba to have Oduduwa if that is their wish. I believe that that right ought to be extended to the Ijaws and indeed to every other ethnic nationality in the country if that is what they want. I believe that to compel a man or a people, by the force of arms and with the raw power of the state, to stay in a house or a space that they do not wish to stay is evil.

Such a state of affairs and situation is an eloquent testimony, graphic example and accurate illustration of subjugation and bondage. It is a testimony of the most barbaric form of wickedness and a total denial of the most basic civil liberties, fundamental human rights and expression of free will of the victims.

I believe that there are many counries in the belly of Nigeria but sadly they have all been choked, suffocated, swallowed up and killed at birth. I believe that Chief Obafemo Awolowo was right when he said that Nigeria was “not a nation but a mere geographical expression”. I believe that Sir Ahmadu Bello was right when he described the amalglamation of the northern and southern protectorates as a “great mistake”.

I believe that he was also right when he told the ever-accomodating and over-compensating Owelle Nnamdi Azikiwe that we needed to “understand our differences” rather than to just “forget them”. Again I believe that Awolowo was right when he said “there are no ‘Nigerians’ in the sense as there are English, Welsh or French.

The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not”. I believe that Nigeria’s first Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa accurately reflected the mind of his core northern people when he said, “the Southern people who are swamping into this region daily in such large numbers are really intruders.

We don’t want them and they are not welcome here in the North. Since 1914, the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country but the people are different in every way, including religion, custom, language and aspirations.

We in the north take it that Nigeriam unity is only a British intention for the country they created. IT IS NOT FOR US.” I believe that Lord Fredrrick Lugard, the architect of the 1914 amalglamation, was right when he said “the North and the South are like oil and water.

They will never mix”. Again I believe that Awolowo was right when he said “Nigeria is only a geographical expression to which life was given by the diabolical amalgamation of 1914. That amalgamation will EVER remain the most painful injury a British government inflicted on Southern Nigeria”.

I believe that the hero of Biafra, Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu (the one and only Eze Igbo Gburugburu), was right when he said “it is better we move slightly apart and survive than move together and perish in our collision”.

I believe that Sir Ahmadu Bello spoke the minds of his northern people when he said, “the new nation called Nigeria should be an estate from our great grandfather, Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the south as conquered territories and never allow them to have control of their future.”

I believe that General Yakubu Gowon was right when he said, “suffice it to say that putting all considerations to the test, political, economic as well as social, the basis of unity is not there.” I believe that Dr. Nnamdi Benjamin Azikiwe was right when he said, “if this embryo republic of ours must disintegrate, then in the name of God, let the operation be a short and painless one.”

Finally I believe that Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was right when he said, “Nigeria is a stooge of Europe. Her independence was and is a lie. Nigeria committed many crimes against her nationals which in the end made complete nonsense of her claim to unity. Nigeria persecuted and slaughtered her minorities; Nigerian justice was a farce; her elections, her census, her politics – her everything – was corrupt.

Qualification, merit and experience were discounted in public service. In one area of Nigeria, for instance, they preferred to turn a nurse who had worked for five years into a doctor rather than employ a qualified doctor from another part of Nigeria; barely literate clerks were made Permanent Secretaries; a university Vice-Chancellor was sacked because he belonged to the wrong tribe.” These words are as truthful, accurate and appropiate today as they were when Ojukwu spoke them many years ago.

If there is still anyone left that believes that all is well in our forced union I urge them to consider the words of Chief John Nwodo who is a former Minister of Information and the newly-elected President-General of Ohaneze, the leading Igbo political and socio-cultural group which comprises of all the elders and traditional rulers of Ndi Igbo. He said, “Our young men and women can no longer tolerate a second class status in their own country.

They can no longer forgive the President for arguing before he came into office that Niger Delta militants were meekly treated and tolerated by President Yar Adua while Boko Haram was harshly treated by President Jonathan when his law enforcement agents literally opened fire and maimed and killed unarmed MASSOB and IPOB members. They see how returnee Boko Haram members are absolved and rehabilitated while leaders of MASSOB and IPOB are incarcerated or mercilessly murdered.

In their rage, they are becoming uncontrollable as they pass a vote of no confidence on us, their parents, describing us as cowards and compromised”. Could anyone have put it any better than this? Has Nwodo not hit the nail on the head? Has he not spoken the bitter truth? Is this not an aberrant and unacceptable state of affairs? Has our so-called country not been turned into the theater of the absurd where anything can happen in the last two years? Did some of us not warn that this would happen if a Fulani supremacist and Muslim fundamentalist with delusions of grandeur like Buhari was elected President? Are the Nigerian people not reaping what they sowed in 2015? Have the southerners and Middle Belters in Nigeria not all been turned into slaves today? Have their leaders and elders not all been turned into quislings and cowards who shiver under their beds at night and who dare not speak truth to power? Christians are slaughtered, nobody talks. Southern youths are butchered, nobody talks. Shiite Muslims are massacred, nobody talks. Christian refugees are bombed at IDP camps, nobody cares.

Fulani militants murder hundreds in cold blood on a weekly basis all over the country and nobody is arrested or apprehended. Was this not Awolowo and Ojukwu’s greatest fear? Are we not living that nightmare today? Whether they wish to admit it openly or not EVERY southerner and Middle Belter in this country feels like a second class citizen today.

Using Electronic Communications in Family Planning

Pick up any popular magazine or newsletter these days and you will probably find an article about some aspect of communications technology. Whether the article is about how to hook up to the World Wide Web, how to search and receive information electronically, or how to avoid telephone charges by using e-mail to communicate with friends and colleagues, these technologies have a strong presence. For family planning managers around the world, these new communications technologies offer exciting challenges and opportunities.

This double issue of The Family Planning Manager explores the impact of the rapidly developing field of electronic communications on the work of family planning managers—the way they plan and implement their programs, train and supervise their employees, and evaluate the results of their efforts. The first two sections of this issue look at the current state of electronic communications and the access that family planning managers throughout the world can expect to have to these emerging communications technologies. These sections examine how managers can use both electronic mail (e-mail) and the World Wide Web to communicate with each other and to gain access to key information. The third section looks at the way organizations can use these technologies internally to manage programs and deliver services more effectively.

A supplement to this issue, A Primer for Accessing and Using Electronic Communications Technology, provides family planning managers with practical information on the equipment and support that they will need in order to access and use these technologies in their organizations.

Beginning Services

Rover began service to the public in April of 2007, providing comfortable and convenient bus transportation for the citizens of Murfreesboro along eight routes throughout the city.

Origin of Name

During August and September of 2006, the City of Murfreesboro held a city-wide contest to find a name for its public transportation system, offering a grand prize of $400 in gift certificates, a free year's pass to ride the system's buses, and the person submitting the winning entry would be the first to ride the new transportation system. The purpose of the contest was to involve the community and create some excitement and energy around public transportation in Murfreesboro.

Making a Decision

A panel of citizen judges reviewed hundreds of entries based on the criteria of creativity, uniqueness, applicability to Murfreesboro, ability to create visual interest and overall viability as a name. They chose the name "Rover," submitted by 4-year old Savannah Leigh Bowen, because they liked the double entendre aspect as applying to movement as well as to the visual aspects of being able to use canine attributes like a friendly puppy or paw prints as icons.

diet ruiner

by olar_razvan_ioan
(Cluj-Napoca, Romania)

I`m from Romania, and I live in a city named Cluj-Napoca. There is restaurant that I like most. It`s called "Casa Piratilor" (Pirates House). It looks great, the services are perfect and they have kinda funny names for their food: "Captain`s Bitch, The pirate`s Cannon..."

How was the food? Portion sizes?

Well that was the problem. The food was extraordinary, and I`m telling you: after I placed the order, they came with the biggest plate I`ve ever seen. French fries with cheese, rice with vegetables, mushrooms, bacon, steak... I was a amazed. The food was great.. but I couldn` eat more than half. The plate weighs 1,5 Kg.

How does eating there ruin your diet?

Well.. that plate had everything that you shouldn`t eat when you`re on a diet. So I had to do extra-exercise for a few days. That was not cool... but the food was great. You just can`t stop eating.

Usually I go to the gym in order to maintain my weight. My favorite exercise is running.

I uploaded a picture with the restaurant. It`s cool. If you come to Romania you should go there.

Exercise like a Pirate after that meal!
by: Clara

I love theme based restaurants too! The trick to making theme based restaurants - like your pirate-themed "Casa Piratilor" - work for you is to take the theme and work it into your exercise routine!

After a hearty pirate meal:

* Add a round of sword-play into your exercise routine! Not with real swords, for safety's sake, but grab a stick and swing vigorously for 15 minutes as part of your warm-up! Switch arms to make sure you are getting a balanced workout.

* Work on your balance! Pirates sailed the oceans, on small ships in big waves so they practiced walking and balancing every day. Balance on something tipsy like a board balanced over a water bottle. Even just walking carefully on the edge of the sidewalk on your way home can get your core muscles active.

Similar problem
by: xio

I have been to a similar restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada with my boyfriend. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it had a pirate theme too. It was my first time at this place so I did not know what to expect. I was not that hungry so I decided to get a nacho appetizer. When it arrived at my table I was floored. It looked like a nacho mountain about one foot high. It was incredible. I had never seen anything like it. Needless to say I did not finish the entire dish. If I had known how big it was we could have ordered just that and shared. That?s my advice when eating in places with large portions just share or eat part and save for later.

Harrington, Thomas C. & Douglas L. McNew. Phylogenetc analysis places the Phialophora-like anamorph genus Cadophora in the Helotiales. Mycotaxon 87: 141 - 151. 2003.

ABSTRACT: Using ITS and 28S (LSU) rDNA sequences, members of the genus Cadophora are shown to be anamorphs of the Helotiales (discomycetes) and distinct from the morphologically similar anamorph genus Phialophora. The rDNA sequences of Cadophora spp. were similar to those of the teleomorph genera Mollisia, Pyrenopeziza, and Tapesia (which have anamorphs in Ramulispora) and to the anamorph genera Phialocephala and Rhynchosporium. The type species of Cadophora is C. fastigiata, and C. malorum is another common species in the genus. Also included are C. finlandia comb. nov., the soybean pathogen C. gregata comb. nov., C. lagerbergii, C. luteo-olivacea comb. nov., and C. melinii. Phialophora atra and C. heteroderae are synonymized with C. malorum. Phialophora goidanichii is synonymized with C. luteo-olivacea.

A Lesson in Gratitude

In late Summer I began to feel very drained.  Spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and most days physically.  I couldn't seem to figure out a way through it.  Then I came across Abundant Mama.  I have found that I can relate to what she writes, how she writes, and the deeper level it goes to.

I wanted so much to give the early to rise challenge a try.  I first tried Andy Andrews, but failed miserably by the second day.  I tried the Abundant Mama one, but failed miserably as well.  What was I doing wrong?  Why couldn't I get myself out of bed early, hopefully before my son, and at least get myself ready for the day?  This is when the drain seemed to be at it's strongest.

So, I stepped back for a moment to try to figure things out.  I knew I needed to get myself into some type of normal rhythm and routine.  I dug deeper.  Using Abundant Mama's ideas on creating a bedtime routine and morning routine, I slowly began to get back on track.  I also began to feel less drained with each day.

Odd, I never thought about having a bedtime routine for myself.  We have one for my son and has since the day he was born.  I think as adults we just keep going and going, then at the end of the day we crash.  It is always, just one more thing and then I will go to bed.  We forget to let ourselves unwind and unplug.

I began my bedtime routine in the begging of September.  I started with this first, because for me it seemed the easiest to do.  I had decided that I would create a morning one after I settled into something that felt right and worked for my bedtime one.

Here is where the lesson in gratitude comes into play.  I usually would say my prayers before falling asleep and would include some of the things I was thankful for from the day.  Nothing wrong with this, but I needed to do more.  I needed to dig deeper into me and deeper into my day.  I needed a change of perspective and focus.

I began to journal every night (part of my bedtime routine).  I started with listing five things I was grateful for from the day and then a to do list for the next day.  As time went by things began to change.  They changed with what I wrote in my journal and even more so, they changed with me. After a couple of weeks I went from writing a list of five things to ten.  Now, I start at the beginning of the day, review it in my head and write as I go along the things I am grateful for.  Sure there is repetition, but it doesn't change the fact that I am grateful to have them while they last.

I also noticed a change in my to do list.  It used to be specific items or task for the next day like vacuum, dust, run errands.  The list still includes those, but they also include things I need to remember to do like breath, slow down, listen, patience.  They are things that I struggled with in the day or where I felt at my lowest point.

The change in me was even bigger.  I began to feel ready for bed, slept better, and woke ready the day.  I was even beginning to feel less drained.  It was time to start a morning routine, my rise early me time.  I figured most mornings I was mostly awake just after my hubby got up, so I might as well just get up and get ready for the day.

The initial shock of getting up early didn't seem too bad and I adjusted to it quite quickly.  Unless it is the weekend and on a few other occasions, I get up when my alarm goes off at 5:30.  What was different this time that made me stick to it?

I had created a morning routine.  I would get up, get myself ready (you know, wash face, brush teeth, etc.), read through emails and facebook, get prepped for the day any thing I hadn't prepped the night before, have some down time, and do some yoga meditation.  This is my routine Monday through Friday.  Honestly, I am thinking of doing it on the weekends now as well.

I love my little routines and they help me feel more ready to go. They give me a sense of peace and calm.  They also allow me to be more flexible, go through the day with more intention, and to be able to slow down when needed.  While I do need to tweak a few things with both routines, I am feeling grateful for finally getting into gear and just doing it.

Early to rise and ready for bed.  My day begins the night before allowing me to be ready for the next day.  Take the time to plan things out, write them down, and give yourself the you time you need.  Focusing on the grateful things from the day can go a long way in improving all areas of your life as well.

AP Sports Writer

When there was a call in the Dallas Cowboys' defensive meeting room for players who had been part of a playoff victory to stand up, nearly everybody stayed in their seats.

"I'm definitely looking forward to winning my first one. A lot of us are," linebacker Akin Ayodele said Wednesday. "We actually had guys stand, and it was only two of them."

It was safety Ken Hamlin and nose tackle Tank Johnson, both first-year Cowboys whose postseason victories came with other teams.

And there aren't many players on offense that can claim to be postseason winners either. Terrell Owens is one of four in that group, again all winning before they got to Dallas.

Still, the confidence of the Cowboys (13-3) hasn't been shaken by the lack of postseason success on their roster or a December slide in which they didn't score a touchdown in two losses and their two wins came against teams that didn't make the playoffs.

"I don't think we've lost our swagger at all," Ayodele said.

"We're just as good as the next team," Hamlin said. "So there's nothing not to be confident about."

As coach Wade Phillips pointed out, the Cowboys accomplished their goal by being the NFC's No. 1 seed and are in the same position as the AFC's New England Patriots, the first team to go 16-0 in the regular season.

"They're still only the No. 1 seed, just like we are," Phillips said. 'I understand they won every game, but we're still exactly where they are as far as the playoffs are concerned."

With a first-round bye before their first playoff game at Texas Stadium in nine years, the Cowboys worked out in pads Wednesday. After Thursday's practice, players will get a three-day weekend before returning to work and knowing their next opponent.

The postseason is a new experience for Pro Bowl guard Leonard Davis, the former first-round pick who spent his previous six NFL seasons in Arizona.

"I'm usually going home or at home in Texas at Wortham at this point in time," Davis said. "It feels great. Just the opportunity to do something special, that has to make you feel good inside."

Davis' hometown is less than 100 miles from Texas Stadium, and he grew up watching the Cowboys win three Super Bowls in a four-year stretch in the first half of the 1990s. Dallas has won only one playoff game since, in the 1996 NFC wild-card game.

Backup quarterback Brad Johnson is the only Dallas player who has won a Super Bowl ring, which he got as Tampa Bay's starter five years ago.

Tank Johnson played for the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl last February, and Hamlin was with Seattle but didn't play for the Seahawks in the Super Bowl the year before that.

Owens played in the Super Bowl for Philadelphia three years ago, but his postseason victories came previously in San Francisco since he missed the Eagles' other two playoff games that season with an ankle injury.

Guard Kyle Kosier was with the 49ers as a rookie when they won a playoff game during the 2002 season. Terry Glenn played in the Super Bowl as a rookie with New England during the 1996 season, though he was suspended when the Patriots won five years later.

Hamlin has a simple message for his teammates.

"I'll reiterate to them that we're not just happy to get to the playoffs. I'm not happy just to be in the playoffs," Hamlin said. "I want to win this next game. That's what I'm worried about. Period."

Phillips, looking for his first playoff victory as a head coach, liked the response of his team when he put them through some fundamental drills Wednesday.

"We had a brisk, very good practice. The guys were really into it," Phillips said. "What's happened in the past and what's going to happen in the future, we don't know. Right now is our opportunity."

Glenn, who missed the first 15 games after two operations on his right knee, practiced Wednesday. Also on the field were Pro Bowl center Andre Gurode, nose tackle Jay Ratliff, cornerback Terence Newman and backup safety Patrick Watkins after all missed the regular-season finale.

Owens, recovering from a high left ankle sprain that kept him out of the 27-6 loss at Washington, was the only player who missed practice. But Phillips expects Owens, who jogged some Tuesday, to play in the first playoff game.

"Our people say he's ahead of schedule," Phillips said. "I feel that he's going to play. … We'd like to have him for more than one game too, so you've got be careful there."

Where's My Perry? Review

23 May 2013 |

Where's My Perry?: Platypus Waiting for Water

Game Info

  • Developer / Publisher:
  • Version: 1.3.0
  • Android: free [ Download ]
  • iPhone / iPad: free [ Download ]

Not so long ago Apple and Android users were busy helping Swampy the crocodile fill his bath with water to swim along the tubes in a funny and capturing game Where's My Water? But it turned out to be such a success that Disney developers decided to go on and soon Where's My Perry? appeared.

Screenshot #1 Where's My Perry? Review

Both Android and Apple gadgets can be used to play this game which is based on the famous Disney cartoon series about two boys Phineas and Ferb and their unusual pet. We won't see the boys in the game but its main hero will be Perry the platypus.

Of course, it's not necessary to know who Perry is to play successfully (though most of the gamers know him). But for those who are not familiar with this cute - he is not a simple platypus - he is also Agent P who is working as a spy for the O. W. C. A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym).

And what do all those special agents usually do? Disney developers think they discover the transportation tubes! That's why you find Agent P in one of them in the very beginning. But if you think he's going to show you some tricks special agents are expected to do you're too naïve. This self-loving platypus won't make a move till you do the greater part of the job yourself. Come on! Aren't you going to sit and wait?

Screenshot #2 Where's My Perry? Review

Where's My Perry? is all about cutting through the dirt so for those who want to enjoy this game there are many crazy tasks.

How can you make Agent P go along the tube? That's the question you'll ask yourself at least 12 times (there are 12 levels you can pass for free) in Where's My Perry? Use multitouch to cut dirt and dig making water go to Perry. As soon as the platypus gets it he moves to the next level. If it doesn't work try to evaporate water with the help of Heat-inator or turn it into ice using Cool-inator. Some other kinds of lasers which Crazy-inators include can also be useful in the process.

Screenshot #11 Where's My Perry? Review

No matter what you're going to do it should bring water into the transportation tube and help Agent P pass the level. The main principle here is to try! Have no idea of what to do? Try everything. Have you ever studied laws of physics at school? It's high time to remember at least some of them. Where's My Perry? is a puzzle, but not very simple one. You can spend up to three minutes in attempt to find the right solution. Not so much but each level has its special puzzle which you have to solve. Sometimes two lasers at the same time will be useful. In the other case the direction where you aim is important. Anyway, it's more interesting to find answers yourself than read about them beforehand.

Screenshot #9 Where's My Perry? Review

Still you shouldn't forget about your mission: being a special agent Perry has to collect gnomes (3 during each level) and secret files. Guess how to collect gnomes? You can use lasers and complete the task. Pick the gnome and he will be added to your collection. There is no actual explanation for what all these secret materials mean. Never mind, just do your job carefully.

Screenshot #7 Where's My Perry? Review

Though the number of levels in Where's My Perry? are limited the game still has something in store for you - a bonus level you can find here! So all characteristics of the game combined make it a pretty entertainment for teenagers and even adults. Children may find it difficult to complete levels so they won't interfere with your plans to rest while you're playing.

Makes 10 servings

1 (10- to 12-pound) turkey

Fresh herbs, such as rosemary, sage or thyme (optional; see Note)

1/4 cup kosher salt

2 medium to large yellow onions, unpeeled and cut into eighths

2 medium carrots, unpeeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

2 medium ribs celery, cut into 1-inch chunks

11/2 cups water plus more as needed, divided use

Silky Pan Gravy with Cream, Cognac and Thyme

The Night Before: Remove giblets from turkey, cut off tail, if attached, and reserve them for making turkey broth. Rinse turkey thoroughly. If using herbs, combine herbs with salt. Sprinkle salt all over turkey, starting on the back side, then the cavity and finally the breast. Put the turkey on a wire rack set over a rimmed pan or platter and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight.

One Hour Before Roasting: Remove turkey from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature. Fifteen to 20 minutes before roasting, position a rack in the lowest part of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees.

Put half the onions, carrots and celery in the turkey cavity. Scatter remaining onions, carrots and celery in large flameproof heavy-duty roasting pan fitted with a large V-rack. Set turkey, breast side down on the rack.

Roast for 30 minutes. Pour 1 cup of the water into roasting pan and roast for another 30 minutes. Remove turkey from oven and close oven door. With a wad of paper towels in each hand, carefully turn turkey over so that it's breast side up. Add remaining 1/2 cup water to roasting pan. Return turkey to oven and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the thigh, away from the bone, registers 170 degrees and the juices run clear when you remove the thermometer, about another 45 minutes for a turkey in the 10-pound range, or about another hour for a 12-pound turkey. (Keep an eye on the vegetables and pan drippings throughout the cooking process. They should be kept dry enough to brown and produce the rich brown drippings to make gravy, but moist enough to keep from burning, so add water as needed throughout.)

When done, transfer turkey to a carving board or platter, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for at least 45 minutes and up to an hour before carving and serving.

Meanwhile, reserve drippings to make Silky Pan Gravy with Cream, Cognac and Thyme (see recipe below).

Note: If desired, fresh herbs can be added to salt before rubbing on turkey. If using, Denise Mickelsen recommends using 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary or sage or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme.

Police in New Braunfels are searching for robbery suspects who stole more than $500 worth of booze from one Spec’s Wine, Spirits and Finer Foods store, then threatened an employee of another store minutes later.

Two men walked into the first Spec’s, 263 Creekside Crossing, around 7 p.m. on Dec. 5, according to the New Braunfels Police Department. Police said the suspects loaded up $575 worth of alcohol and walked out of the store without paying.

Employees noticed the theft after the men had left and called other Spec’s locations to alert them to the theft.

About 15 minutes later, two men driving a car that matched the description of the vehicle used in the first theft rolled into a second Spec’s in the 1600 block of Interstate 35 South.

Police said that as soon as the men entered the store, employees told them to leave and followed them outside.

As the suspects were getting into their car, one of the men pulled out a gun and told an employee to stop following them.

The men were caught by video surveillance footage, which police hope will lead to their identification and eventual arrest.

Anyone with information on the suspects is asked to call the Comal County Crime Stoppers at 830-620-TIPS, or the NBPD at 830-221-4100.

  1. I know that I keep having an issue with just fab. Every month I am charged from my bank account. Every month I call and email. I canceled my account ages ago. They say they can’t find my name or address in there system. It is driving me crazy. Not to mention my hubby. This has been going on for months.

  2. Just curious with the fab kids, if you forget to skip do they just pick something automatically to send you?

    • I believe they will automatically charge you the $29.99 for the month, and you’ll have the credit to use in your account whenever you like.

      • Ah ok thanks!!

BREAKING: IPOB warns Arewa youths ahead of quit notice, lashes out at Kwankwaso

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned that no harm must befall any Igbo person in the wake of the Arewa quit notice.

IPOB in a statement on Monday, June 26, warned that if any Igbo is killed in the North as a result of the quit notice issued by Arewa youths, “Hausa-Fulanis will get a dose of their senseless attacks and stupidity back.”

According to Daily Post, IPOB, while issuing the threat warned the North that, “Biafrans of today are not the same breed as those they massacred in 1967 and 1970 at will, without retaliation.”

The pro-Biafra group also cautioned Arewa youths, saying they should be more civil in their utterances because “threats and intimidation do not work with IPOB.”

In a statement signed by the spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful, the group lashed out at the Governor of Kano state, Rabiu Kwankwaso for asking Igbo leaders to publicly denounce the secession struggle.

Kwankwaso had over the weekend asked leaders of the South East to denounce those clamouring for Biafra in a bid to show sincerity to Nigeria’s unity.

Reacting to Kwankwaso’s call, IPOB in the statement said no Igbo leader allegedly “handpicked by Hausa-Fulanis in Aso Rock” can stop its struggle for secession.

The group condemned the Kwankwaso's statement, stressing that the IPOB and its leadership worldwide led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not working with the so called Igbo leaders. The group warned that any careless move from the north might lead to an implosion.

“Kwankwaso has just revealed to us by his statement that he is one of the numerous Northern elders sponsoring their poorly educated youths against Biafrans residing in the North and we will not tell them what will happen until any Igbo man or any other Biafran for that matter is killed as a result of their quit notice,” the pro-Biafra group stressed.

NEWS: Jonathan’s invitation a distraction from Buhari’s illness – Reno Omokri

Former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, has spoken on the invitation extended to his former boss by the House on Reps to testify in the ongoing Malabu oil deal probe.

Omokri said it was a “distraction” from President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence.

He tweeted: “When you do not see the President that is leading you today, you will want to cause distraction by summoning the one who led you yesterday.”

Recall that the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, had in April urged the House of Representatives, to compel Jonathan to appear before it over the controversy surrounding the OPL 245 Malabu oil deal.

Chairman of the House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the fraudulent Malabu oil deal, Razak Atunwa, on Wednesday explained that only the immediate past President can resolve the crisis surrounding the controversial Malabu oil deal, also known as OPL 245.

Speaking during a press briefing by the committee, Atunwa said Jonathan’s appearance was key to unraveling the alleged corruption, malpractices and breach of due process in the award of OPL 245.

The Humbling Copy Edit

James O. Born

I’ve had fun as we talked about writing a novel and all the crazy shit that goes along with it. Sometimes when writing these articles, I lose focus on why I started and what I was trying to accomplish. I wanted to have a simple, casual conversation about what it takes to write a novel. Not filled with the academic inertia of the historical basis for novels, which invariably includes a discussion about Beowulf, the story many considered to be the first written in a variant of the English language. That's not to say that classes and books on the subject are not useful. They absolutely are. I read a number of books about the art and history of writing. But when you get down to it, how much of that information is useful in a novel about zombies attacking Omaha or a detective working a homicide in Detroit?

Today I'm going to talk about one of the most humbling experiences a professional writer can have. The first time it happens, the shock can be so severe it causes paralysis and nausea. I am, of course, talking about reviewing the copy edited version of your lovingly created novel. No matter your level of education, your degree of dedication and revising your novel sixteen times, you are going to make mistakes. I'm not just talking about typographical errors, but errors in the way the timeline flows or some fact you thought you had right. Maybe I'm overstating it, but when you find a copy editor whose work you appreciate, they are more valuable than the gold at the end of the rainbow or the Angels on the head of the pin.

In my first published novel, Walking Money, I had written and rewritten it at least eight times. I had years to perfect it, and frankly, I doubted it would ever get published. Then, as I slowly started to submit it to agents, I would go through the manuscript again and again, each time finding errors I had somehow missed on one of the many earlier reviews. Still I was ignorant of the publishing process and how a fresh set of eyes could pick up things I missed over and over again. Then the excitement of making the sale glossed over any concerns I had. The suggestions from my editor, Neil Nyren, were reasonable and certainly not excessive. I was starting to feel confident that I had not wasted all those years of learning how to write and then executing it correctly with this novel. That all ended when the copy edited version arrived at my door. In those days, you received a hard copy of the manuscript with questions written directly on the page. All the queries had to be answered, but more devastating were the corrections that needed no reply. How could I have made so many mistakes? The simple answer is, I'm a dumbass. The actual answer is, it happens to everyone.

Much more recently, as in two weeks ago, I finished the review of my next novel, Scent of Murder, which will be released by Forge in April. I had to do a great deal of research about police service dogs and I'll use that excuse as to why I missed approximately 32,000 other mistakes. Luckily, I have a phenomenal copy editor for all of my books with Forge. She destroyed it. And rebuilt it. And in the process, once again saved my ass.

But you don't need to worry about everyone else, you're the one who just got kicked in the gut. Maybe not literally, but if you said literally kicked in the gut, the copy editor would. This is one of those rare situations where you need to embrace the pain. You absolutely cannot recoil at what appears to be criticism when, in fact, all the copy editor is doing is correcting mistakes that you have made. Unless you're the Pope, you can admit to mistakes. It's hard to come to terms with but you will be a better person after you do it.

Now the question is what to do if you are not with a publisher and wish to have your manuscript professionally edited? The quick, simple and cheapest route would be to ask a close friend or family member who has obtained an education past the eighth grade, does not watch reality TV every night, and generally is a voracious reader. It's important to explain that you want them to look at it closely and feel free to markup the manuscript. They must be free from rebuke if you disagree with some of the corrections they make. It is a torturous and dangerous relationship that could affect all aspects of your life.

That is why I would recommend the second alternative which is to hire a private, professional editor. This person should be recommended by someone you know or be known on the Internet as a reliable and respected editor. There are plenty out there, especially with the cutbacks at the major publishers. The cost can vary widely. I don't want to even quote a figure. But for a cheapskate like me it would hurt. But it's nothing compared to the pain of readers finding mistakes in your manuscript. Whether it is in an e-book or slipped through the process of a major publisher, these mistakes haunt a good writer.

Find a good proofreader and hang onto them like they were your soulmate. Because soulmates usually aren't good editors.

Our quotes for today:

“When you write a book, you spend day after day scanning and identifying the trees. When you’re done, you have to step back and look at the forest.”
 Stephen King

"I do not like to write — I like to have written." ~ Gloria Steinem

“There are two types of people in this world: those who can edit, and those who can't.”
 Jarod Kintz

“Authors who moan with praise for their editors always seem to reek slightly of the Stockholm syndrome.”
 Christopher Hitchens

  1. I have a burning desire to correct your punctuation.

  2. James O. Born9/19/2014 2:03 PM

    I readily admit that proofreading is not my strength.

Equipment that is used...

For softball the equipment is to protect you and make sure that you do not get hurt in the least possible way. These pieces of equipment you use in the field and when you are up to bat. The uniform is a piece of equipment. Without your uniform you cant play in the game and also without the equipment you cant play.The equipment are:

-Softball Gloves

-Knee Socks and Cleats

You use the bat when your up to hit the ball

To catch the ball. If you are left handed you have a left handed glove. If you are right handed you have a righ handed glove.

Used to pitch and it is thrown

Only used when up to bat to cover your head so there are no head injurys.

Used only when up to bat to cover your hands so when you hit the ball it doesnt hurt your hands.

This is the top part of the uniform. It can be either long sleeved but mostly short sleeved.

This is the bottom half of the uniform. Pants or shorts will change for every team.

These are a pair of spandex shorts that most put under their uniform because when sliding into base they make sure you dont skid or scuff up your legs.

The reason they are so high is because again when sliding it doesnt skid or scuff up your legs. The cleats are beneficial for better traction on the field.
