The Sunday papers with ...
The Sunday papers with ... Hannah Pool
Aretha Franklin, Johnnie Marbles and John Oliver are the only relief in a very bleak weekend

I only saw Amy Winehouse perform live once, at a small gig in London's Porchester Hall in 2007. The gig was virtually perfect – an intimate setting, Winehouse on fabulous form vocally and full of energy and banter. A few months later, she was billed to play the Brixton Academy, my friends rushed to get tickets but I refused. Porchester Hall had been such a memorable evening I didn't want anything to taint it. The Brixton gig was cancelled, and so were many others.
When people tell me they don't read the Sunday newspapers because they are "too heavy and depressing" I get frustrated. This weekend, however, it's hard to argue otherwise. It takes a strong green tea and a deep breath to plunge into the combined horror and sadness that is the Norwegian shootings and Amy Winehouse's early demise.
Every newspaper leads with either a picture of the Norwegian island of Utoya, scene of the horrific shootings and murder of more than 90 people by rightwing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, or a picture of Amy Winehouse, found dead in her London home yesterday afternoon. Most have some combination of the two.
The tone of the coverage differs wildly, though – there's nothing like a tragedy to bring out a newspaper's true personality. The Sunday tabloids are locked in a battle to become the new News of the World, without seeming too distasteful.
The Mail on Sundaypredictably likens events in Oslo to 7/7, and has six pages of hysterical reportage.
The Mirror, presumably trying to pick up where the News of the World left off, has a picture (on page two) of Winehouse's body being taken away from her home in a private ambulance. Classy.
The Sunday Telegraph has a moving piece on Winehouse by Neil McCormick , who describes seeing the singer recording new material in the Abbey road Studios in March of this year: "What is deeply shocking to me is I thought she was winning this battle," says McCormick. "She was clearly sober, steady and looked tanned and healthy," he adds.
Moving to other stories, the Independent on Sunday has an interview with comedian and co-founder of UKUncut Johnnie Marbles (page 32) aka the select committee foam pie-thrower: "I knew I was doing something right and I knew why I was doing it, but I realised it was deeply impolite," says Marbles, still baring a nose cut delivered by Wendi Deng's infamous right hook.
Elsewhere, the culture sections offer a little light relief. Art critic Waldemar Januszcak gives an intriguing review of "hardcore, trouble-making, Britpop subversives" Jake and Dinos Chapman's new show (opening in September at the White Cube galleries) in the Sunday Times Culture (page six): "A quintessentially subversive brotherly face-off that seeks to address a recurring truth about the banality of evil," says Januszcak of the exhibit.
The Independent on Sunday has a rare interview with Aretha Franklin on her 69th birthday: "Barak Obama sang 'Chain of Fools' to me. He's hip. And he's got a walk like nobody else," says Franklin. Now there's a room I'd like to have been in.
If it's laughter you're after, the Observer offers the reader an opportunity with the Daily Show's resident Brit comic John Oliver; "Generally, I end the day laughing, and if I don't I'm double-fucked because I'm miserable and I haven't done my job," says Oliver.

Legal Expert: Smollett's "Worst Nightmare" Just Came True. Chicago Files Suit Against Him
Elder Patriot – Syndicated Columnist
What in the world goes through the mind of Jussie Smollett?
The ridiculous hate-crime hoax he staged against himself was dumb enough on its own, but his actions in the aftermath of being caught smacks of complete idiocy.
Once Chicago PD established virtually irrefutable proof that Smollett was behind his own mugging, he should've apologized, paid his fine, and moved one.
Instead, it appears that Smollett called in a favor from former President Barack Obama to use his influence to get the charges dropped pissing off Chicago's Police Chief in the process.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx dropped all 17 charges against Smollett. Here's a good reason why:
Predictably, the City of Chicago responded by asking to be reimbursed for the $130,000 that was spent finding evidence of his guilt.
Smollett ordered his lawyers to rebuff the demand and instead demanded that it was their client who was owed an apology.
Smollett's arrogance was rewarded shortly thereafter.
The City of Chicago's Law Department filed a complaint requesting damages in the amount of $130,106.15.
A spokesperson for the Law Department told ABC7 that the lawsuit "pursues the full measure of damages allowed under the false statements ordinance.
According to high-profile Chicago-area attorney Karen Conti, the city's lawsuit will end up being Smollett's "worst nightmare."
Smollett was probably counting on the fact that Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx had sealed the evidence against him when she dismissed the charges.
According to Fox 32 reporter Rafer Weigel the seal will be broken. Weigel tweeted that Conti said:
"The evidence would likely be unsealed and the case could drag out 4 years. We're gonna get the facts that we haven't gotten thus far."
"The city wants its pound of flesh."
Legal expert Karen Conti tells me #Chicago's suit against #JussieSmollett is #Smollett's "worst nightmare. The city wants its pound of flesh. " The evidence would likely be unsealed and the case could drag out 4 years. "We're gonna get the facts that we haven't gotten thus far."
— Rafer Weigel (@RaferWeigel) April 8, 2019
Eleven days earlier President Trump indicated he had the FBI and the DOJ to review Smollett's case in what the president called "an embarrassment to our nation."
FBI & DOJ to review the outrageous Jussie Smollett case in Chicago. It is an embarrassment to our Nation!
WTF was this moron thinking? Some people's arrogance leads to their downfall…

From the moment they met, Marjie's heart has belonged to handsome Captain Stanley Jonquil, younger brother of the Earl of Lampton. But six long months ago, when Stanley's sense of honor required that he do as he had sworn and return to the Continent to fight in defense of King and country, neither Stanley nor Marjie could have dreamed what the cost of his service would be. It has been ages since Stanley last wrote, and Marjie and the Jonquil family are plagued by his unknown fate—until the day he unexpectedly reappears. Marjie's joy, however, is quickly shadowed by confusion—the aloof, battle-worn soldier before her is not the man he once was. In the wake of Stanley's blatant disinterest in renewing their acquaintance, Marjie's devastation turns to determination as she vows to help him find peace. But his scars run far deeper than anyone realizes. Despite his feelings for her, Stanley believes Marjie deserves a man whose hands are not stained with the violence of battlefields and whose mind and heart are not haunted by the horrors he has seen. Honor requires Stanley to return once more to the life he has grown to despise, one he knows will destroy him in the end, even as his heart beckons him to stay with Marjie, the only woman he could ever love, and the promise, at last, of redemption.
This Jonquil Brothers installment is a little bit heavier than the others as both the main character and his sister in law Sorel are struggling with crippling injuries and side effects. Stanley is shell shocked and beaten down from war, with Marjie as his only breath of fresh air. Sarah's books are always clean with depth in her characters.

The Sheriffs of Savage Wells
Published by Shadow Mountain on September 27, 2016
Genres: Adult
Source: Shadow Mountain
The small town of Savage Wells is barely big enough for the people who call it home; it certainly isn't big enough for more than one sheriff.
Yet when famed lawman Cade O'Brien rides into town, he finds he's not the only man ready to take on the job. What's more, one of his competitors is a woman.
Paisley Bell loves her town and the eccentric people in it. She's been the job to anyone else. Not only does she love the work, but she also needs the income to take care of her ailing father.
It's a true battle of the sexes, and sparks fly between the two as Cade and Paisley banter and boast, neither one ready to acknowledge the attraction they have for each other. But when Paisley's former beau shows up, along with a band of bank robbers, Savage Wells is suddenly faced with the kind of peril that only a sheriff can manage. Who will be man enough—or woman enough—to step up, claim the badge, and save the town?

All is not well in Wyoming. Katie Macauley gave up her life-long dream of returning to Ireland in order to make a home for herself in Hope Springs, but her future has never been so uncertain. The town is more divided than ever, with both the Irish and the Reds stealing property, burning buildings, and endangering lives.
Katie's heart remains sharply divided between her love for playful Tavish and steady Joseph, a decision she feels ill-prepared to make. In the midst of the growing unrest, temperatures drop quickly, too quickly, and Irish nightmares of famine and cold resurface as the little Wyoming town struggles to beat the harsh winter.
Katie makes one sacrifice after another to keep the peace and help see her loved ones through the difficult days ahead, but will it be enough? Can the town make amends before their hatred consumes them all? And will Katie find the love she has been searching for as well as a home to call her own?
Fire and Ice is thrilled to be a part of the offiicial Deseret Book Blog Tour for Longing For Home volume 2~ Hope Springs by Sarah M Eden.
I've read all of Sarah's books and I think this one is by far her best yet! It was born of sacrifice and hard work on her part and those characteristics become so much more real in her main character. Katie MacCauley has made a decision to join her fellow Irishmen on the Irish Road in her small town of Hope Springs, Wyoming. The town is divided by prejudice and hatred, the Irish "Paddys" targeted as foreigners in a harsh land. The Red Road will do anything to get Katie out of their sight, out of their stores and our of her employment as a housekeeper for Joseph Archer. Tensions are heating up and there are those convinced that blood will be spilled before the division can be settled.
As a descendant of Irish who came to America, I learned a great deal about the hardships they faced, the desires they had to maintain their heritage and the work ethic the Irish modeled in putting down roots. I especially enjoyed reading about colcannon, one of my favorite Irish dishes, and hearing some of the Gaelic words written into conversation. Sarah demonstrates through tradition, family relationships, loyalty and love, just how tightly woven the Irish settlements were. She shows the character's weaknesses of short tempers, raw emotions and pride, as well as their ability to laugh and press forward with tenacity and courage in the midst of adversity.
I cried several times. I felt the feelings of these people and grew to love them as my own. Hope Springs is a tale of one woman's vow to turn her tragic past into triumph and to make a difference in her community. It is also a beautiful story of how love can heal all wounds and a heart has the power to choose its path. I highly recommend this series as a prime pick for well researched, beautifully written historical fiction and clean romance. Sarah M. Eden's writing pulled at my heart!

Is Pokemon Go The Most Successful App of All Time?
The game reached 100 million downloads in less than a month.
In less than a month, Pokémon GO has hit 100 million downloads, solidifying the fact Pokemon-mania has swept the globe.
To put this mega milestone into perspective, the top three downloaded apps in the last six months in the U.S. are Facebook Messenger (59.7M), Snapchat (54.5M) and Facebook (45.8M) – according to SurveyMonkey Intelligence.
In fact the only games to reach anywhere close to Pokémon Go downloads are Color Switch and Slither.io, which at roughly 80 days each reached 50 million downloads.
Angry Birds, arguably the most the most popular gaming app of all time was released in 2009 took nearly a year to hit the 50 million mark. But at that time, the market wasn't saturated with gaming apps.
The milestone for Angry Birds came in 2011 when on Christmas Day the game sold 6.5 million copies in a single day alone.
According to data from App Store intelligence firm App Annie, Pokémon Go has also reached over $10 million in daily revenues and surpassed Facebook in open rate and average time spent per user following its Android release.
Apps on both Android and iOS have not seen any impact financially and downloads across all apps are steady since the release of Pokémon Go but the amount of "non-mobile" time – when people open the app while doing other activities, such as walking the dog or getting stoned, has Pokémon hunters on super high alert.
These numbers are high, particularly due to the fact the game has only been released in 32 markets. Countries like China and Brazil await to have a turn catching all the Pokémon they can. The potential to reach even more downloads once released in other territories could see the popular franchise numbers skyrocket even greater once available.
Other apps that have joined the 100 million download club include the popular dating app Tinder, which was launched in 2012 and took four years to reach the mark which it did last January.
Critics claim Pokémon Go download numbers will drop but the average time spent on the app is increasing daily, meaning users are playing the game at a high rate. It will be interesting to see what the franchise has in store in the next few months and it's only safe to assume that the upcoming holiday season will bring more milestones for the Pokémon Go.

NFL preseason odds: Cardinals road favorites at Cowboys for Sunday
Indications that neither Dak Prescott nor Ezekiel Elliott will be exposed to injury while working behind a banged-up offensive line have made the Dallas Cowboys an underdog at home – and that's proven to be a telling indicator in the preseason over the years.
The Arizona Cardinals are 1-point road favorites on the NFL preseason odds against the Cowboys with a 40.5-point total in a matchup on Sunday, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. It's only the fifth time the Cardinals have been road favorites in the preseason in the last 25 seasons.
The Cowboys are 3-8 straight-up and 3-7-1 against the spread in their last 11 games as home underdogs in the preseason, according to the OddsShark NFL Database, with the total going UNDER on seven of those last 11 occasions.
With center Travis Frederick (auto-immune disorder) and guard Zack Martin (knee) each out of the lineup, the Cowboys may follow suit with their quarterback and leading rusher. Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen (swollen thumb) might also be a game-time decision for Arizona, which is 7-3-2 ATS on the road in the preseason since 2013.
The Cleveland Browns are 3-point betting favorites against the Philadelphia Eagles with a 41-point total in a Thursday matchup. The Eagles are 3-8 SU and 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog of 2.5 or more points in the preseason. The Browns are 2-5 both SU and ATS in their last seven preseason games as a home favorite, with the total finishing UNDER all seven times.
The New York Jets are 2.5-point favorites against the New York Giants with a 41.5-point total in a Friday matchup. The designated road team is 5-0 ATS in their last five games in this annual preseason matchup, with the total finishing OVER in four of those five games.
The Carolina Panthers are 1-point favorites against the New England Patriots with a 45.5-point total. The total has finished UNDER in five of the Patriots' last eight preseason road games. The total has finished UNDER in four of the Panthers' last six preseason home games.
The Minnesota Vikings are 3.5-point betting favorites against the Seattle Seahawks with a 40-point total. The Seahawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 preseason road games as the underdog.
The Chicago Bears are 2-point favorites against the Kansas City Chiefs with a 47-point total in a Saturday matchup. Since 2010, the Chiefs are 2-9 SU and 3-7-1 ATS in 11 preseason matchups as a road underdog, with the total going OVER eight times.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 4-point favorites against the Tennessee Titans with a 45-point total. The Titans are 3-5 SU and ATS in their last eight preseason road games as the underdog. The Steelers are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite of 3.0 or more points.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 3-point favorites against the Atlanta Falcons with a 40-point total. The Falcons are 2-10 SU and 5-7 ATS in their last 12 preseason games as a road underdog. The total has gone OVER in six of the Jaguars' last nine preseason games when they were favored at home.
And the Buffalo Bills are 1.5-point betting favorites against the Cincinnati Bengals with a 41.5-point total in a Sunday matchup. The total has gone UNDER in six of the Bengals' last eight preseason games as a road underdog. The Bills are 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 preseason home games

Eagles use goalline stand, Elliott FGs to beat Falcons
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Philadelphia's defense staged a last-minute goal-line stand and Jake Elliott atoned for a missed extra point with three field goals as the Eagles beat the Atlanta Falcons 15-10 Saturday to move into the NFC championship game.
Despite being underdogs as the No. 1 seed, the Eagles (14-3) showed plenty of moxie in the tightest spots of the fourth quarter.
They stopped sixth-seeded Atlanta (11-7) after it got to the 9 with a first down, and then on fourth down from the 2 when Matt Ryan's pass sailed over Julio Jones' head in the end zone.
It was the first playoff win for Philadelphia since the 2008 season, and they will host either Minnesota or New Orleans for the conference title next Sunday.
The Falcons, who so memorably blew a 28-3 second-half lead in last year's Super Bowl, won't get a chance to atone for that defeat.

This past week witnessed a notable escalation of security incidents surrounding the Ebola virus disease (EVD) response efforts. On 19 April, an attack on a hospital in Katwa by armed militia resulted in the tragic death of Dr Richard Mouzoko Kiboung, a WHO epidemiologist, and the injury of two other healthcare workers. To ensure the safety of all outbreak responders, Ebola response activities have been temporarily halted in some high-risk health areas until security measures can be reinforced.
WHO, the UN, and the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are actively collaborating to review current strategic and operational security measures to ensure the protection of healthcare workers in the field, and improve effective coordination and information sharing amongst all security elements covering the response. Existing operational security measures continue to be implemented and strengthened as well, including the establishment of security perimeters around the residences of EVD response personnel, increasing security at fixed locations, enhancing the joint quick response team (QRT) capacities of local police and UN security forces, and ensuring staff compliance with tracking procedures and adherence to curfew. These measures and other security risk management processes will be continually updated to reflect the needs of the evolving security situation on the ground.
From 14 February through 31 March 2019, the National IHR Focal Point of Saudi Arabia reported 22 additional cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection, including four deaths, associated with the outbreak in Wadi Aldwasir.
During the last 21 days (6 – 26 March), a total of 125 new cases were reported from 51 health areas within 12 of the 21 health zones affected to date; 38% of the 133 health areas affected to date (Figure 2). The majority of these cases were from remaining hotspot areas of Katwa (36), Butembo (14), and three emerging clusters in Mandima (19), Masereka (18) and Vuhovi (17), in addition to a limited number of cases in other areas (Table 1). All cases link back to chains of transmission in hotspot areas, with onward local transmission observed in a limited number of towns and villages within family/social networks or health centers where cases have visited prior to their detection and isolation.
The public health response to the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak continues to make gains. During the last 21 days (20 February – 12 March 2019), no new cases have been detected in 10 of the 20 health zones that have been affected during the outbreak (Figure 1). There has also been fewer new cases observed over the past five weeks compared to January 2019 and earlier in the outbreak (Figure 2).
The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak is continuing with moderate intensity. Katwa and Butembo remain the major health zones of concern, while small clusters continue simultaneously in some geographically dispersed locations. During the last 21 days (13 February – 5 March 2019), 76 new confirmed and probable cases have been reported from 31 health areas within nine health zones (Figure 1), including: Katwa (44), Butembo (17), Mandima (6), Masereka (3), Kalunguta (2), Beni (1), Vuhovi (1), Kyondo (1), and Rwampara (1). The emerging cluster in Mandima health zone is occurring in a previously unaffected village, with five of the recent cases epidemiologically linked and the sixth case likely exposed in Butembo; nonetheless, there remains a high risk of further spread. Similarly, recent cases (two confirmed and one probable) in Masereka stem from a Butembo chain of transmission. These events highlight the importance for response teams to remain active across all areas, including those with lower case incidence, to rapidly detect new cases and prevent onward transmission.
The Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak is continuing with moderate intensity. Katwa and Butembo remain the major health zones of concern, while simultaneously, small clusters continue to occur in various geographically dispersed locations. During the last 21 days (6 – 26 February 2019), 77 new cases have been reported from 33 health areas within nine health zones (Figure 1), including: Katwa (45), Butembo (19), Vuhovi (4), Kyondo (3), Kalunguta (2), Oicha (1), Beni (1), Mandima (1), and Rwampara (1).
On 12 February, a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 1 (cVDPV1) has been confirmed in Papua province, Indonesia. Two genetically-linked VDPV1 viruses were isolated from a child with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) with onset of paralysis on 27 November 2018 and in a healthy community contact, a child whose stool sample was collected on 24 January 2019. The location of this healthy child, with the VDPV isolation, is in a remote village, approximately 3–4 km away from the AFP case with onset of paralysis on 27 November 2018. Even though this province shares a border with Papua New Guinea, this outbreak is not linked to the cVDPV1 outbreak currently affecting its neighbouring country.


i applied to temple, villanova, rutgers camden, and widener (t3). i have a 153 lsat and a 3.1 gpa from cornell university. all other app materials are strong. my pre-law advisor suggested i retake the lsat if i think i can get 4 more points or better.
temple is my first choice, and the clear reach right now. im debating on whether i should not take the lsat tomorrow so they can consider my application now, vs. making them wait for my feb scores. it is rolling admissions and they do accept feb scores.
ok, so i am not taking the feb test. does anyone know how i can cancel the test before-hand?

Little girls can grow up to be President
Published by Carl on July 27, 2016
My wife and I watched Bill Clinton's speech last night at the DNC. We watched on CSPAN (which you can watch free at CSPAN.org). They carried all of the speeches with none of the commentary. It was refreshing to watch people speak without a commentary track added. I was tired of the Crooked Hillary rhetoric. I was tired of the talk of emails. I was tired of hearing everyone tell me what I should think about Hillary. It was time to hear what her spouse said about her (and what she has to say for herself on Thursday). Bill painted a portrait of his wife as a hard-working, child crusading, relentless agent of change across decades, state and international borders.
In her capacity as litigator and legislator, she has worked for people. She has started programs and organizations which still exist today. Hillary is being painted as a one-dimensional caricature by her opponent. It's easy to vote and rail against her that way. She's crooked. She didn't make perfect choices. She used a private email server.
If you've ever worked in and around Government IT, a private server might be a better way to go than the endless parade of contractors running government IT. And even though her email usage is given the spotlight, there are plenty of government workers using Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail/other private email services for their Government email. But they're not running for President so it's not brought to light.
Last night, Bill made a pitch for his wife for President. Which alone, is notable. She is the first woman to ever be nominated for President by a major party. She may well be our first female President come November. That's historic.
My wife offered a perspective I can never have last night. She said how important it was for girls. Girls are told you can do anything. You can be President. Until now, that was a nice fairy tale. But now it could be real. Little girls can grow up to be President.
Bill Clinton's speech sold Hillary's legacy with a speech only he could deliver – Vox
The pitch is simple: Bill and Hillary Clinton understand that there are big regions of this country that are suffering from big problems. And while Trump is offering pleasantly easy and pleasantly vague solutions to those problems, you probably know deep in your heart that big problems are harder and more complicated than that. Actually doing the work of fixing them is hard. And Hillary Clinton is ready to do some hard work on them.
After all, it's what she's been doing for decades.
A friend asked,
Do the ends justify the means with how the DNC and HRC worked together? Is this how we wanted the young generation to see how it works? Get out, phone bank, work hard, vote, and you to can belong to an organization that favors one candidate over another…. even though it was to be a race?
I don't want Trump, and if Hillary had gotten the nod without all that has come out, I also wouldn't have batted an eye. But what precedent has been set for the future?
This was my response.
It was always going to be Hillary. Bernie made a good run but he was an outsider from the get-go. I voted for him in the Primary, but not enough other people did.
If he had the popular vote, he would have won. But he didn't. It's disappointing but he didn't. Instead we're left with a woman who has also worked for decades to make people's lives better. Who had championed children's issues and safety.
Sure, she has some black marks on her record. No one working in the public eye this long doesn't.
If you don't believe this goes on behind the scenes of every campaign you're deluding yourself.
If the RNC's emails were leaked, I'm sure you'd see the same things, all trying to figure out how to stop Trump. But he had the popular vote.
You can't say the DNC worked against Sanders and stopped him meanwhile Trump was steamrolling the RNC, GOP and every pundit in the land. He was unstoppable. Not because of collusion or insider knowledge, but because he got the most votes. And in the end, Bernie, as much as I was pulling for him, did not.
In Maryland alone, Clinton won by 251,972 votes.
Young people may have gotten out and organized, but older people still vote and vote more consistently.
If young people want to make their voices heard, they need to get out and vote and vote in huge numbers. The Millennial Generation rivals the Greatest Generation in size.
If they want to have their way, they need to vote. But young people don't vote as often and as consistently as older people. And when the older people vote, they win.
Same way that large turnouts favor the Democrats where smaller turnouts favor Republicans. Which is why I'm scared that young people and Bernie supporters are threatening not to vote this November. Or vote for a third-party (Stein or Johnson) which is a great protest vote.
But we'll end up like we did in 2000 with the Democrat vote split and Trump will ride his tidal wave to victory.
And then where will we be? North Carolina has passed some abhorrent legislation. Mike Pence has done the same thing. Including trying to jail same-sex couples for applying for a marriage license.
If you're mad about Bernie, then show up to the polls and give the Democrats the majority party in Congress. Give Bernie real power to make lasting change by putting him and his party back in charge!
If Hillary wins, don't think she's going to leave him behind. She wants to make lives better for people in this country. She's going to work with him. That's the person she is. That's the kind of President she will be. That's what I am voting for.

Angel Ceballos Killed in Motorcycle-vs-Truck Crash
Home/News/Angel Ceballos Killed in Motorcycle-vs-Truck Crash
20-year old motorcyclist killed in Grand Prairie crash after truck driver fails to yield to oncoming traffic.
20-year-old Angel Ceballos, of grand Prairie, suffered fatal injuries after his motorcycle collided with a tractor trailer in the 700 block of South Belt Line Road (near Interstate 30) shortly before 8:00 p.m. on Saturday evening.
According to police, 30-year-old Jesse Merchant was towing a 42-foot trailer southbound on Belt Line Road (just south of I-30) when he attempted to make an unprotected left turn into a RaceTrac gas station near Tarrant Road.
20-year-old Angel Ceballos, who police say was riding a Harley-Davidson Dyna motorcycle northbound on Belt Line Road, collided into Merchant's truck as it crossed over the northbound lanes of traffic. Ceballos was transported to a local hospital, but unfortunately died of his injuries.
Police say that the truck driver was operating without a license, and had failed to yield the right of way to Ceballos. Merchant was subsequently arrested and charged with manslaughter. He's currently being held in the Grand Prairie jail.
If you would like to donate to the Ceballos family, visit this link.
A tragedy like this should have simply never taken place. An unlicensed driver should never be behind the wheel of a tractor trailer, and if this was a commercial truck, I have to wonder how this was even allowed to occur. Trucking companies are often held vicariously liable for accidents like this, especially if it can be shown that they failed to do their due diligence when vetting their drivers.
Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents caused by another vehicle's failure to yield are quite common in Texas. In fact, almost half (42%) of all fatal motorcycle accidents involving another vehicle are caused by drivers failing to yield when making unprotected left turns.
If nothing else, please use this as a reminder to always look twice for motorcyclists—and especially at intersections.

Dragon boat dock swallowed up in swollen Schuylkill
Peter Crimmins
This week's torrential rains and churning Schuylkill River have swept away an aluminum dock installed just last month.
The dock for dragon boats, the colorfully decorated boats about 10 inches taller than regular shells, was put in less than two weeks ago.
The Schuylkill Paddlers, a consortium of dragon-boat teams, had the 60-foot dock made so they could have a permanent home on the river.
Standing on the bank of the Schuylkill Thursday evening, the president of the Paddlers, Emilia Rastrick, assessed the damage as the river began to calm.
"Right now, I see a concrete bulkhead, and as the river goes down, I don't see a dock," she said. "I see concrete torn away. I can see some metal on the front where the dock was attached, and then broken concrete on the front."
The Schuylkill Paddlers were in the process of giving the $40,000 dock to the city per an agreement with the Department of Parks and Recreation. It is insured, and may be salvageable — if it can be found and dredged from the river.

Luann de Lesseps Parties with Sonja Morgan and Dorinda Medley at Her Bridal Shower
People.com:
She's getting married!
Friends of Real Housewives of New York City star Luann de Lesseps gathered together on Wednesday night in the Big Apple to celebrate the 51-year-old socialite at her bridal shower!
Sonja Morgan and Dorinda Medley were just two of de Lesseps' RHONY castmates to attend the intimate affiar. They were joined by other friends of the 5 ft. 10 in.-beauty, including YouTube star Chloe Jane.
All the ladies wore sparkly tiaras – with the Countess' crown saying "Bride to Be." She looked especially ready to walk down the aisle in a low-cut, belted, lacy white dress with silky skirt.
De Lesseps is engaged to fiancée Tom D'Agostino, Jr., who proposed to her in February with an eight-carat yellow-diamond ring after a few weeks of dating.
Their relationship was the fodder for much drama on this season of Bravo's hit reality show – as D'Agostino, Jr. allegedly had a "friends with benefits" relationship with Morgan and had previously dated Ramona Singer.
Singer missed the affair – attending an intimate concert with John Legend thrown by iHeartRadio instead.
As for Bethenny Frankel? Well, we'd bet her invite was lost in the mail.

Bravo Producers Put 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Cast on Twitter Lockdown After Too Much Fighting
RadarOnline.com:
The cast of Real Housewives of Orange County (Watch Live) needs a timeout! RadarOnline.com has learned that the cast has gotten so NASTY towards each other in recent weeks that production staff fired off a shocking letter to all of them, commanding their social media silence!
Radar exclusively obtained a copy of that letter, which lays down the law.
It reads, in part, "…the social media viciousness has gone too far and you need to cool it. Specifically we're asking you to stop attacking each other. The network is upset and so are we in production."
"The constant, ugly fighting is a bad look for you, and bad for the show," it reads. "You may not like each other, may not trust each other and often wish you weren't on the show together – but taking shots at each other on social media isn't the answer. Save it for the show… for the reunion… and please stop fighting so dirty."
The letter begged the ladies to stop "negative mentions about the other cast members," and urged the ladies to focus on their own lives and projects instead.
We're asking you to stop any negative mentions about the other cast members on social media. Talk about your lives, your kids, your grandchildren, your jobs, products…. Or whatever…. But please stop aggressively hitting each other below the belt."
So what started it?
The back-and-forth social media war between this season's cast members – Vicki Gunvalson, 54, Shannon Beador, 52, Tamra Judge, 49, Heather Dubrow, 47, Meghan King-Edmonds, 32, and – has gotten way out of hand lately, with team Gunvalson and Dodd up against team Beador, Judge and Dubrow.
After being called the C-word recently by Dodd Gunvalson got her sweet revenge on Beador during last night's episode when she hinted that Bedor's cheating husband David was happier with the mistress than he was with her!

'Friend of the Housewives' Marie Reyes says She's Not Returning to 'Real Housewives of Dallas'
DallasObserver.com:
Thursday afternoon, Real Housewives of Dallas cast member Marie Reyes tweeted a police report from 2008 that says Real Housewife LeeAnne Locken threatened her ex-boyfriend with a knife and hit him in the face. "LeeAnne Locken has a documented history of violence with knives — so I'm staying away from #RHOD Season 2," Reyes said in her tweet.
Reyes' revelation puts another nail in the coffin of her long friendship with Locken, which soured as the pair squared off on the TV show. In one episode built around a trip to Austin, Locken threatened to kill Reyes, who she believed was spreading rumors about her. At least that was how Reyes saw it, but when Reyes and the other women on the show confronted Locken about these threats, she waved them off. "Haven't you ever heard someone in the street say, 'I'm going to kill your ass?' It's slang," Locken says. "It doesn't mean I'm going to take a knife and slit her throat."
Maybe not, but jabbing at a locked door with a knife while someone cowers behind it seems a little less slangy and a lot more scary. That's what Locken's ex-boyfriend Hubert Sebanc said she did to him in the 2008 report he made to Dallas police.
According to the incident report, Sebanc called the police to Locken's home after a night of clubbing. Locken was angry with Sebanc because she thought he was flirting with another woman. When they returned home, she began chasing him, swinging a large kitchen knife at him "in a cutting motion." He locked himself in a bedroom while Locken stabbed the bedroom door.

Sheree Whitfield Returns Fulltime, No Newcomers on Season 9 of 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'
AJC.com:
Sheree Whitfield, who left the show after four seasons and returned part-time last year, has officially been given a full-time peach – and full-time salary – for the ninth season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
The show returns Sunday, November 6 on Bravo at 8 p.m.
Whitfield created some great one-liners such as "Who Gonna Check Me Boo?" but struggled to conjure up compelling personal stories or build her brand the way most of the other ladies have. (She by Sheree never quite broke through.) She was taken off the show in 2012 but came back last year in an recurring role. She clearly made enough of a positive impression to stick around this year.
Her "Chateau Sheree" home may or may not be livable at this point. It's been unfinished for several years.
As previously reported, Kim Fields came season eight and left after just one season. This type of show was clearly not for her.
The other ladies – Porsha Williams, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks – remain.
A press release provided some more plotlines:
In season nine of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," after coming to grips with the end of her marriage to Peter, Cynthia is looking forward to embracing this new chapter of her life with a fresh start in a new house. Kandi and Todd are still over the moon with the arrival of baby Ace, but juggling high-profile careers and parenting duties proves to be challenging, especially with Mama Joyce drudging up past issues between Kandi and Phaedra. With her law practice and social justice work taking up more of her time, Phaedra hires a tough new nanny to wrangle her growing rambunctious boys, Ayden and Dylan, as she awaits word of her divorce from Apollo being final. Porsha has rekindled a love connection with an old flame and in an effort to better herself, she begins anger management counseling. On the heels of juggling a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend Matt, Kenya channels her love struggles by racing to finish "Moore Manor." Just up the road at "Chateau Shereè," and holding a peach for the first time since season four, Shereè puts on her "Momager" hat with hopes of her son being The Bailey Agency's next top model. Coming up this season, there are major twists in relationships among the group from unexpected alliances that form as well as shocking accusations that could end an old friendship beyond repair. For a sneak peek, visit: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta/season-9/videos/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta-are-back
NeNe Leakes said she has no plans to return but she said that last year and made a surprise appearance. So you never know.

Alexia Echevarria Opens Up About Estranged Husband Herman's Death: "The Last 24 Hours Have Been a Nightmare"
EOnline.com:
It's already been a day since Herman Echevarria Sr.'s family learned about the tragic news of his death. Not only was the 61-year-old father a constant companion for his children, but he was also the patriarch of his family and respected businessman.
Alexia Echevarria, Herman's estranged wife, shares with us how she and her family are coping with the greatest loss they have ever had to face.
"The last 24 hours have been a nightmare for my family and I. It is life once again showing me that at the drop of a hat, things can change. I can't imagine what my life will be like walking into my office every day and not seeing Herman or having our family dinners with the kids and family. We were in this for fifteen years and although we were currently separated and living in separate homes, our spiritual and emotional connection was stronger than ever," Alexia says exclusively to E! News. "I would like to take this time to thank everyone for the incredible outpour of support that has come my way through messages, calls and social media. I am sharing this image with you that we took this past Father's day because this is how I will always remember US. "
In the photo shared by the Bravo star, we see the pair hugging and caught in the moment.
Herman died Monday morning of natural causes, according to police. His body was found in the bedroom of his apartment at the Epic Residences in Miami. Authorities have closed the case.
Sources close to the family revealed to E! that they believe that the former council member suffered a fatal heart attack.
After 12 years of politics in Hialeah, Florida, Echevarria turned to business and became one of the most important and respected entrepreneurs in Miami.
The couple founded Venue, a Spanish-language magazine, that focuses on the sophisticated lifestyle of today's Latinos. The Real Housewives of Miami co-stars separated in 2015.

Meghan King Edmonds Says Losing Other Baby on RHOC "Felt So Real"
BravoTV.com:
Monday night's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County was a weepy one as the cast let the tears flow throughout the episode. Meghan King Edmonds provided one of the most emotional moments of the episode as she broke down in tears when she realized that only one of her babies had survived after she underwent IVF earlier this season (clip above).
Meghan is now well on her way to becoming a mom to her first child, a baby girl, later this fall. Still, she said that all of those emotions came rushing back to her as she relived that heartbreaking moment. "It's hard for me to watch this scene back," Meghan tweeted during the episode Monday night. "I'm so grateful Jimmy could be there with me."
She added, "I'm currently 7th months pregnant and have enjoyed every second, but the loss of the other baby felt so real."
Some fans were also pleasantly surprised to see Meghan's usually gruff and tough husband Jim Edmonds being so sweet and compassionate during that scene. "I think he forgot there were cameras around," Meghan joked on Twitter.

Alexia Echevarria's Husband Herman Echevarria Sr. Found Dead
USmagazine.com:
Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Echevarria's estranged husband, Herman Echevarria Sr., was found dead on Monday, September 26, the Miami Police Department confirms to Us Weekly.
According to E! News, who was first to report the news, and TMZ, Herman was found dead inside a room at Miami's Epic Hotel. His business partner Gonzalo Gonzalez told the Miami Herald that it's believed Herman died in his sleep from a heart attack. The Miami police department could not confirm the reports to Us, as an investigation is still ongoing.
"The Echevarria family is heartbroken over the sudden passing of our patriarch Herman Echevarria this morning," Alexia told Us in a statement. "He was a family man, a hardworking businessman, dedicated to helping others and a pillar of his community that was loved by everyone who's life he touched. We ask that you please respect our privacy during this time of grieving."
The couple were both featured on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Miami and cofounded Miami's Venue magazine.
Us exclusively confirmed in May 2015 that Alexia and Herman had separated after 15 years of marriage. As documented on the Bravo reality series, Herman was a father figure to her two sons, Peter and Frankie, from her previous marriage to felon Pedro Luis Rosello. (Rosello was sentenced to 24 years in federal prison after being part of one of the largest cocaine smuggling operations in the 1980s.)
"It's uncomfortable to have to speak about my ex-husband, the biological father of my children, after we have been legally divorced for over 17 years," Alexia wrote in a 2013 Bravo blog post. "As you all know, I've been happily married to Herman for the last 13 years. Peter and Frankie have always lived with me and Herman," she explained of her situation at the time. "[They] have been blessed with having two fathers in their lives."

Bethenny Frankel Reveals What It'll Take To Convince Her To Attend LuAnn de Lesseps' Wedding
Luann de Lesseps' New Year's Eve wedding is just three months away, but Bethenny Frankel won't be marking her calendar for the celebratory occasion.
During a visit to the PEOPLE offices, the Real Housewives of New York personality revealed that she and de Lesseps are not speaking following the reunion show.
"No, I haven't strangled her and I haven't spoken to her, so she's still alive and I hope she is happily engaged. And no I haven't spoken to her," Frankel, 45, tells PEOPLE.
Although the pair feuded on season 8 of the Bravo reality series, Frankel cites the Countess' "bad behavior" as a reason for her no longer being upset with de Lesseps.
"I'm not really upset with her because I wasn't really that surprised by her bad behavior," Frankel states. "The truth is not Luann's very good friend. So, I'm not really that surprised. I'm not angry. There have been people that I've been on the show with before that I was very angry at and was just like, 'I can never speak to them again' and I don't feel like that with Luann because I just don't expect that much from her."
On season 8, Frankel dropped a bombshell on de Lesseps when she revealed that the Countess' fiancé, Tom D'Agostino, Jr., allegedly made out with a Playboy model at New York's Regency Hotel the day before the couple's engagement party.
"In the end, really, because I was the messenger and you know people want to kind of get the stain off of them and just throw it onto someone else. I presented something that represents the truth and Luann, like I said, isn't a very good friend of the truth," Frankel tells PEOPLE.

Teresa Giudice Talks Upcoming Drama on 'RHONJ' Vermont Trip
EOnlione.com:
It's the Real Housewives of New Jersey trip we've been hearing about since before the season started. The one that would pit Jacqueline Laurita against both Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga for good. It's the explosive expedition to Vermont. And it's finally here.
"I guess if you put a bunch of women together on a vacation trip, drama is bound to happen and you're gonna see some explosions," Teresa told E! News in advance of the big getaway making its way to your TV screens.
"I bring friends on the show that have issues with some of the other Housewives of the show," she added. "So you'll see that play out."
Which Housewives, you ask? "There was drama between Jacqueline and someone else, one of my friends that comes on the show," Teresa told us, before offering an advisement. "But watch closely of how it plays out."
When Jacqueline goes toe-to-toe with Tre's friend Robyn almost immediately, it'll cause Melissa to look at her then-friend in a whole new light. And naturally, poor Dolores Catania and Siggy Flicker will be stuck in the middle, trying to keep the peace.
"This plays out in two episodes, so the first part is pretty explosive, but the second part is even more explosive," Teresa teased. "So you definitely have to watch it."

Judge Sets January Date To Hear Motion On Joanna Krupa's Slander Lawsuit Against Brandi Glanville
MiamiHerald.com:
Reactions to smells, if you believe the latest 100-page motion in the defamation case brought by former reality TV star Joanna Krupa against "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" standout Brandi Glanville, are subjective and statements of opinion.
Cigar smoke, the motion by Glanville to dismiss the 2-year-old lawsuit argues, can be "intoxicating" and "delightful" to some people while odious to others.
Therefore, the motion argues, a judge in Miami should throw out the lengthening case where "Real Housewives of Miami" principal Krupa is asking for big money from Glanville for the latter's televised claims two years ago that Krupa's lady parts are stinky.
Actually, the judge is keeping a stiff upper lip and set a January date to hear the motion, one where the absurd — in as many as 156 separate filings and counting — has been pushed to the extreme.
Take Ray Rafool, Krupa's attorney, for example.
He took time off from playing polo in Ibiza earlier today to discuss the latest by telephone.
"For you and I to say this is a ridiculous case that shouldn't be going through the justice system is easy," Rafool said. "We're not the ones who were slandered.
"Everywhere Joanna goes, someone brings it up. She's trying to save the cougars in California, and wisecracks about female scent spring up.
"People come up to her husband [Miami Beach nightclub owner Romain Zago] and say to him 'I heard your wife's … smells bad.' What do you do?
"In a civilized society, you don't get into a fistfight over it. You go to court."
Until Glanville admits she was lying when she alleged that Krupa's nether regions aren't as neat as she looks, Rafool says, the case will likely continue.
Said Susan Warner, Glanville's Jacksonville attorney: "This was a nonsensical joke at best, and it could be an opinion — nothing defamatory.
"You need to ask this other side why they're pursuing this."

Amber Marchese Finishes Treatment After Second Breast Cancer Battle
Amber Marchese has overcome her second battle with breast cancer.
The former Real Housewives of New Jersey star opened up to PEOPLE about her current health at WE tv's celebration of the return of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars Thursday in New York City.
"I'm actually done with treatment," revealed Amber, 39. "Actually, two weeks ago was my last treatment. I'm clean, I'm clear and I'm just ready to get on with life."
Amber survived breast cancer in 2009 before going on to discover a lump, which turned out to be cancerous, in her right breast in April 2015.
Of how the experience changed her outlook on life, the reality star says it's made her full of "love."
"Oh my god – I love people, I love life, I love my family and I appreciate everything," she said. "I mean, I just don't take anything for granted. Nothing's guaranteed."

Ramona Singer Finalizes Divorce from Mario Singer
PageSix.com:
Let freedom ring for Ramona Singer.
The "Real Housewives of New York" star's divorce from Mario Singer was finalized on Wednesday, two years after they first split, her reps confirmed to Page Six on Friday.
"We signed off on a divorce agreement last September. Unfortunately, it took the judge over a year to sign off on it due to paperwork glitches," she told E! News. "I found out yesterday from my attorney, who sent it to me along with a key chain that says, 'The divorce is final.'"
Ramona, 59, wed Mario in 1992 and they renewed their vows on-air in 2010. The Bravo personality tearfully recalled on "Housewives" this season how she actually discovered on Page Six that her spouse of over 20 years allegedly cheated with a much younger woman.
Though Ramona and Mario called it quits in August 2014, she says she has since forgiven him. "Forgiveness is very important," she told us last summer. "I forgive [Mario]. Sometimes people just lose their way and you can't help them find it."

Melissa Gorga Takes Teresa Giudice's Side In Feud Against Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri
Melissa Gorga is taking a stand against Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri!
Gorga, 37, revealed that that she has no intention of being a part of their feud with Teresa Giudice, as she wants to keep the family at peace after their explosive sit-down!
"You have seen throughout the past five seasons, there have been A LOT of ups and downs between all of our families and our friendships," she began her Bravotv.com blog. "No one's hands are 100% clean, including my own, but what I have learned is that actions speak louder than words when it comes to finding peace."
"Our issue with Kathy and Richie is that they are the ones that pulled away from Joe [Gorga] and I, waaay before Teresa went away, and I'm still not even sure why," she explained. "Now, they all of sudden are ready to come back around and are annoyed that we aren't dropping everything to make time for them. Even though we hadn't heard from them in a long time, we still supported them, checked in to make sure Victoria was okay and came to see their new beautiful home."
"The second we walked into their house, we got thrown into a heated conversation about Teresa," she said of the most recent episode of RHONJ. "I was pretty clear that I didn't want to be put in the middle, and I'm glad Joe called Richie out on his unnecessary dig. Teresa, Joe and I agreed that we would put the past in the past, that there would be no more secrets, and that we would shut down any negative conversations about each other when that person was not there to defend themselves. And that is exactly what we did!"
"I am proud of how Joe handled himself throughout this entire episode," she continued. "He loves his family and does want peace, but he's right… we all need to be genuine to move forward, and if you're not ready to do that, then be honest and tell them. When people said we weren't supporting Kathy and Rosie, I think that's unfair. If it wasn't for Joe, Teresa would have never even sat down with her cousins."
"I can't speak for Teresa, but I know from my own experience with her that she goes through a process and she's gotta get over one thing before she can approach the next," she concluded. " She said she doesn't feel that Kathy and Rosie wanting to reconcile is genuine, and I can see both sides. I do believe they want to be back in the family and want to be with us, but I get that Teresa feels it's not real since they didn't reach out while she was away. I was not on the visitor list or approved email list, but I still wrote to Teresa to tell her how I felt and send pictures of her girls. I made the effort to let her know that I wanted her to be in my life and that I wanted us to be good."

The Marat are a race of people that inhabit Maratea. Although physiologically similar to Alerans, enough to be interfertile, there are physical distinctions between the Marat and Aleran peoples - chiefly their distinctive silvery or white hair and pale skin. In addition, each tribe appears to have physical differences tied to the physical attributes of their clan's totem animal, i.e. members of Clan Gargant being extraordinarily muscled, or members of Clan Wolf having prominent canine teeth. They also have exceptional night vision and a feverishly high natural body temperature - such that they can wear little clothing in climes in which Alerans would risk frostbite. They are traditionally enemies of Alera, but the relationship between these nations develop throughout the series.
The Marat are a tribal group of people split into different clans by totem. These totems are known as chala, and are the animals with which a Marat will bond with for life. Each Clan is lead by a cho-vin or 'Headman' - the chief of a clan. In times of war, a Hordemaster, a sort of chief-of-chiefs, is chosen from amongst the headmen to lead the combined might of the tribes.
As a people, their religion is based upon the idea of a multitude of spirits, inhabiting all living and nonliving things. Everything is connected, and thus everything is a part of "The One". As all life, to them, seems to flow from the sun, the sun is their representation in a way of "The One". Important rituals and clan discussions can only happen in the sight of "The One", or the sun.
Prior to becoming a nomadic civilization, the Marat were a settled people in another land. However, they encountered the Vord, and after being nearly destroyed, were driven away to Maratea.
Clans Edit
Fox Clan (extinct)
Gargant Clan, the Sabot-ha led by Headman Doroga.
Herdbane Clan, the Sishrak-ha led by Headman and Hordemaster Atsurak at the start of the series.
Horse Clan, the Kevras-ha led by Headman Hashat
Wolf Clan, the Drahga-ha led by Headman Skagara at the start of the series
Lion Clan -- status unknown
Unnamed seventh Clan, represented by the empty seventh seat in the horto -- status unknown

With the club suffering so much the past three years while Berlusconi has said he was unable to keep investing in the club, the promise of new investment has fans excited for the first time in a long time. Many fans are talking about the beginning of a new era and comparing this reboot to Sacchi's Milan. I believe the implication is that Berlusconi spent big on a few players to reinforce the squad and they immediately won everything. But the truth is, Sacchi's Milan wasn't built in a day. Or even a year.
Currently, Milan have had 52 players out and 47 new players come into the squad in the past three years. But Sacchi's Milan didn't have that much turnover, despite the fact that the club had been relegated twice in the previous decade, spending the '80-'81 season and the '82-'83 season in Serie B. The team had a core group of players, several whom went through both relegated seasons together, and they were promoting players from their youth sector, too. Below are the squads from the year Berlusconi purchased the club through the first year Sacchi was in charge and the team won their first Scudetto. Listed with them are their positions they played as well as how long they had been at the club at the beginning of the season. All players are Italian unless otherwise indicated.
Financially, the club was in shambles this year, with no fewer than three club presidents in a single season. The third of which, of course, was Silvio Berlusconi, who bought the club in February of 1986. The coach was Nils Liedholm, and the club finished 7th place. In the Coppa Italia, they only made it to the Round of 16, the same as with the UEFA Cup.
Squad total: 25 players. So that's four new youth players promoted or returning, seven other new players, five players with one year at the club, five players with two to three years, three players with five years at the club, and one player with eight years at the club.
Berlusconi brought financial stability and lots of cash to spend on players. Nils Liedholm started the season as coach, but he was replaced by Fabio Capello during the season. The team finished fifth in the league, but still only finished in the Round of 16 in the Coppa Italia while also qualifying for the UEFA Cup again, having not competed this season.
This was the year Sacchi arrived at Milan, and Milan also won the Scudetto, too - by defeating Maradona's Napoli team. It was also the year that the first two of the three famous Dutchmen arrived, replacing the English duo of Wilkins and Hately. However the team still only made it to the Round of 16 in the Coppa Italia and only the Round of 32 in the UEFA Cup.
Squad total: 21 players. There were nine new players, two returning players, three players with one year at the club, one player with two years at the club, three players with three to five years, two players with seven years, and one player with ten years at the club.
While Berlusconi is known for bringing in the three Dutchmen, he also brought in new Italian stars like Donadoni, Ancelotti, and Galli. It is easy to see why he looks back and wants an all-Italian squad if he is trying to reproduce his previous results, as his teams began as ridiculously mostly Italian. But times have changed, and he's not starting with an all-Italian base, either.
Contrast these squads with our current day situation. While it remains to be seen who will stay at Milan this season, Abbiati has 14 years total with the club and Bonera has nine years with the club, both of whom may be on their way out. I think Abate is next, who only returned from loan six years ago. Our captain has only been with the club for three years, and if my count is correct, we have a whopping 14 players who have been at the club for one year or less. The club has averaged 17 players out and 15 players in each season for three years now. With many players rumored to be out or whom are out of contract, it seems that Milan simply does not have the same foundation and history that preceded Sacchi's Milan. So splashing a bunch of cash on a handful of new players is not as likely to produce the virtually instant success that Sacchi's Milan had, either.
Is this a beginning of a new era? I think it's too early to judge. As of this writing, the deal with Mr. Bee is still not official, although there is an agreement in place. Thus the €470m investment hasn't transpired either. Mihajlovic hasn't officially been made coach, but is expected to be officially named within two weeks. While reports have claimed Jackson Martinez has chosen Milan, new quotes from the player himself indicate that he has not yet chosen a team. In fact, the mercato hasn't even officially opened up yet. So while all signs indicate that change is on the horizon, there are other warning signs to heed, too. It's just too early to know what kind of a team Milan will field in September when the mercato closes. Obviously, there should be a change in fortunes. But one thing is for certain, it is unlikely that we repeat the era of greatness that was Sacchi's Milan without the foundation he had to work with. After all, Sacchi's Milan wasn't built in a day.

OK guys talking to Greg about next year I told him I would like to do a Dry Tortugas trip. It will be a drifting trip and sea anchor deployed if necessary . For 20 people the cost would be $650 per person. I am just waiting on the dates. With our style of fishing we sure will be able to bring a nice load of fish as we will be covering a lot of area while drifting.
For this trip we would leave at noon to be able to get some hours fishing before sunrise. I have asked for August the 22nd weekend.

Thank you Cudaman, good talking to you earlier.
Would this be a 3 day ??
Yes, a three day. 4 day is too much for some people.
cudaman wrote: Yes, a three day. 4 day is too much for some people.
They can take another trip for 3 days.
I hope you are all doing OK, Just wanted to let you know that the dates might move to July. I will keep you all posted.
Also if Capt. Greg gives us the Tortugas trip prize and instead we go to Pulley Ridge? Would yo all wanna go to Pulley instead? It will be less cutoffs and bigger fish as we have caught in the past. Please let me know as soon as possible.
Also the possibility of catching wahoo and trophy grouper at Pulley is always there.
I'd be in for Pulley, not sure about a 3 day Tortugas trip though.
Sounds good guys, just waiting on the dates from the Captain's office.
I I am interested in the tugas trip if that's the route you go.
From the past three trips of the pulley Ridge I don't see the reason you guys go on out there or at least with this captain I would not go.
Its probably been asked from the previous trips but whats size vertical or slow pitch jigs would be ideal. Let say lightest jig size you would bring ? 400g jigs needed ?
I have been on all of these trips and I use 180 - 500 gram and just bought a few 800 gram jigs for deeper water or heavy current. I use 220 gram the most though.
Wow 800g. Where do you guys order heavy jigs? Jigging depot, jigging world and ebay seems fairly priced. Anyone recommend h4l jigs/ which design ?
I get most of my jigs from forum member and trip angler kblue.

Raymond Wu
Degree: Bachelor of Business Administration
College/School: College of Business
Raymond Wu's entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic comes from his parents, who left China in search of a better life for themselves and their future family. They opened a Chinese restaurant in Miami, and as soon as Raymond was able, he worked there every day after school and on the weekends.
With his father as a role model, Raymond started his own business in high school, collecting sneakers and selling them for a profit. One day, his friend got scammed, giving rise to Sneakheat, an online company for buying and selling sneakers that offers a safer way to make transactions. He and his partner recently scouted office space in California.
In the meantime, Raymond went to Japan with another friend and, while at an auto auction, realized the potential market for exporting classic and exotic Japanese vehicles to the United States. Raymond secured a rare car so he could auction it off in Fort Lauderdale. To better learn the business and market himself, he signed on as a sales representative for Wheels Boutique.
Raymond also helped his parents start a third restaurant and continues to work for them, all while maintaining a 3.15 GPA. That could be why Raymond was awarded a scholarship to the University of Miami for a master's degree in finance. His dream? To earn an MBA, launch more businesses and "leave the world with a legacy and in a better place."

Does the Smart Kitchen Have a Future?


First, major apologies for the lack of blogging…It's been a summer. Wanted to give you a small update: Construction at the brewery has been ongoing the entire year, with it slowly but surely coming to an end for Phase 1. With losing power for 3 months, and some hiccups with the city, small construction plans took longer than we anticipated. As phase 1 of construction closes, we are beginning the initial planning phases for a tasting room! We've been working with our architect to plan the look, feel and vibe of the space, and hope to start the CUB process soon. Ideally, we will have a tasting room by the end of 2017. However, with LA City complications and cost for a CUB, it could potentially be longer. Keep an eye for updates as we get further into the process!
This year, we've brewed around 3,600 gallons of beer. We've filled 12 puncheons, 35 standard wine barrels, and a few bourbon barrels. Going forward, we hope to do 15 bbls every week, which means around 30 more oak barrels every month.
Last month, we released our first bottle series called ++good Mosaic (pronounced: double plus good Mosaic). This series will continue throughout the coming year with a different dry hop variety added to the same base. We recently bottled Blend 2 of this (with Citra!) and are planning to release it if all goes well in November. So far the Citra has added some great tropical favors and aroma!
We've continued to do some small bottling runs, and hope to release a few more beers soon, including a table saison, a hoppy wild ale with oranges and orange peel, and a bourbon barrel sour biere de garde. Be sure to follow our social media accounts and join our mailing list to stay up to date on our releases!
And we're starting a club! The Single Barrel Syndicate. Thanks so much to everyone who's joined so far. We really appreciate your support, and are excited to get you some amazing beers in 2017! We've gotten some feedback from people that the price per bottle on the lower tiers of our club is prohibitively expensive. Since we initially created the tier system to help those who did not want to spend $300+ on a membership, this feedback is important to us. So, we've decided to make a small change to the structure! Instead of seven 375ml bottle releases for the year, we're going to change two of the release to 750ml bottles. As a member, you'll now get five releases of 375ml beers and two 750ml releases. We hope that our current members see this as a small treat for your early support, and that it'll help those with pricing concerns feel better about the up front cost. You can find more info here on the membership and how to sign up. Online registration will stay open through Saturday, November 5th, 2016 (while supplies last). Cheers!

To be a professional athlete you have to be strong physically and mentally. There are varying degrees as to which aspect is more dominant from one athlete to the next. Some are stronger physically, others have a steel trap for a mind, but in sport you have to have both.
This conversation got me thinking about which athletes from which sport are the strongest. Could it be boxers? Could it be football players? Could it be basketball players? Could it be golfers? Golf? Seriously? Golf is just a frustration; as Mark Twain said: "Golf is a good walk spoiled." So those of you into tees and fairways, you're bunkered; golf is disqualified.
Tennis players are the ones who fit the bill as the strongest. Just hear me out.
Consider the physical differences between players. There is no handicap for someone playing the likes of a John Isner or Ivo Karlovic, the tallest men in tennis who make almost every other player look diminutive. Same as in the women's game if Simona Halep or Dominika Cibulkova is facing Serena Williams.
Players constantly demonstrate how mentally, tactically, and physically strong they are. Consider the recent final of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas and the mental strength Juan Martin Del Potro showed by playing each day. Exhausted, del Potro saved the tie for Argentina in the first reverse singles to beat Croatia's Marin Cilic, winning from two sets to love down for the first time in his life. And then in the deciding match of the final Federico Delbonis showed he was stronger tactically and mentally by beating Karlovic despite the Croat's power and mammoth serve. How many athletes of other sports do that?
Almost every other sport works within a time frame. Tennis does not. A match can be 50 minutes or a four-hour grind, but the players have to use their mental and physical strength to rebound the next day and play again. How many other sports have that?
Then there is the continual evolution of equipment standards and players having to deal with it. A couple of years ago, even the great Roger Federer found it frustrating to get a grip (no pun intended) of the new racquet he was using. Working through such matters takes mental strength.
In football and basketball or hockey the make-up of the ball or the puck has not really changed, bin tennis, the ball itself changes for surfaces.
A tennis player criss-crosses the planet almost every week adjusting to time zones and different conditions, environments, food etc. Besides adapting to ball changes, a tennis player has to adapt to the surface itself changing time and again – from hard to clay to hard to clay to grass to clay to hard to indoor; no other athlete endures that.
A tennis player has to be strong physically to strike the ball ferociously and also be clever in a split second to change the momentum of a match. A tennis player has to try and work things out themselves – there are no teammates to huddle with. It's them against the world. Now that's strong.
