TRUTH & RIGHTS are not a new band but the way their story has unfolded to this point they very well could be. They put out a 3 song EP in 2010 and have been in a dormant state for quite some time now. The band consists of Eddie Sutton on vocals; you may remember him from his days in Leeway. What NYHC fanatic doesn't hold Leeway's "Born To Expire" and "Desperate Measures" in the highest regards? Truth & Rights are rounded out with NYHC vets at every instrument. Dudes who have been parts of bands like Crown Of Thornz, Bulldoze, Maximum Penalty and Skarhead to name a few. The recording for their new album took quite a while and flew under the radar since the band simply was not out there playing shows. Go time has arrived with their debut full length titled "Lies & Slights" out now on Eddie's newly formed My Reality Entertainment label. Musically this album is a fresh face in a scene crowded with many bands looking around at each other for influences. We caught up with Mr. Eddie Sutton in this late October 2016 interview and got the lowdown with everythng T&R related as well as the future of Leeway. Photos by: Jammi York and Rich Zoeller.

IE: What's up Eddie. I would guess to many reading this the name Truth & Rights sounds like a new band with a brand new release in "Lies & Slights". Actually this band has been around for a while although not always active. Can you give us a brief run down as to the origins of Truth & Rights and how the idea came about for you to start a new band with all original material?
Eddie: This band actually started about 18 months after I recovered from a broken neck in 2006....Agents Of Man were slowing down and we discussed a merge of sorts since I walked away from Leeway again due to frustration. We started just to establish something and we didn't know where we were going, and Dimi wasn't with us....we scrapped a demo with a different drummer but by the time Dimi came in we found our groove and we recorded the "Greenlight" EP which came out in 2010.
IE: Can you talk about the lineup that makes up Truth & Rights and everyone's connection to the NYHC scene?
Eddie: Zack Thorne, Rey Fonseca, and John Doherty are the founders of Agents Of Man, and Dimi has played with so many bands I lose count...Crown of Thorns, Stillsuit, Skarhead, and right now he's with me and Matty in Leeway NYC and they still do Crown of Thorns shows....Dimi and Zack play in Homicidal and Rey does Maximum Penalty as well. You can see the experience they bring individually which gives me an inspiring opportunity to write and arrange some serious vocal tracks. I hope what I did on "Lies & Slights" represents their music well here. It's the music that helps me to animate a song lyrically while laying down harmonies and choruses a lot of bands do not do.

IE: This current lineup is the same lineup that put out that "Green Light" EP back in 2010. For a band to put things on the shelf for a period that long and then come back with the same exact members is definitely kind of odd in that in most cases at least one of you would have some other obligations after that time away… but you all return. Care to comment on that?
Eddie: Every member has a very busy life with working careers and family responsibilities on top of band commitments so it's kinda hard to keep a core unit together for such a length of time... But each one of us really brought something to the table so as much as I kept pestering for everyone to at least stay the course and get this out we all knew there was something here. It's so hard to make a life for yourself and try and live the rock n' roll fantasy, but the realistic odds are as high as a fucking Lotto or Powerball so to make both things work right it takes time. Now that we reached this far we all are on board to try and to attract some interest to keep doing it and play out again as well.
IE: Let's get into this new album you have been working on called "Lies & Slights". People reading this more than likely know your musical resume as well as some of the other guys in the band. What can we expect musically since the people involved here bring different aspects and styles to the table…
Eddie: Well, as "Eddie Leeway" I sound just as strong as the last album I did with Leeway. I feel stronger than ever, vocally. Having my own style will help the band but I think people are going to compare it to Leeway when in fact it's 20 years later and I have men I've bonded with that are no slouches themselves. If you really listen to "Lies & Slights" you will hear a different and more modern band with the vocalist from Leeway killing it TODAY. I'm not one of these older hardcore people who wants to just play the same set every night. I want to also give the fans of this music something new and that's very important. "Lies & Slights" has so much variety people need to hear it for themselves.
IE: "Lies & Slights"... what's the meaning behind this title?
Eddie: It's a bit of a joke, honestly. Taking the piss out of over-thought titles ....we had a completely different title but I'm not saying it because I'm saving it and not gonna let someone steal it, hahahaha....So I figured it was also appropriate as a slogan, which it is....and in this year of presidential elections we're stuck with clowns who may talk truth and rights, but to me they're selling lies and slights...I figured joke a bit on my band name first before anyone else too. It has a nice ring to it. I'm rather satirical on the album as well lyrically and vocally so it fits well.
IE: Two titles off the new one that jump out at the listener are "Tommy Karate" and "B.O.L.O.". What are the stories behind these two tracks?
Eddie: Some sarcasm along with a bit of wisdom. "Tommy Karate" is partly about tough guys with the dance-floor noise and nonsense....along with using the name of one seriously sinister member of the Bonanno family who was one of the coldest killers known. It's a reference to wannabes out there. "BOLO" is an old police expression for Be On the Look Out.....so I used the expression as reasonable as one says "Good lookin out" when showing appreciation to you....keep your eyes open there's some treacherous people out there and also keep an eye out on your real brother.
IE: Can you give us 3 tracks off of this new one that you are itching to get up on stage to perform live the most?
Eddie: Well..... "Pick It Up" would be the first... it's my super-posi sing-along...."Games", which is a fun song for me, but "Diamond In The Rough" would probably ONLY get played in an acoustical setting for the time being and maybe not in the band's live set...."Pick It Up" and "Diamond In The Rough" were created in pre-production mainly and "Games" I had down for a while now.
IE: You guys have been working on this album for a very long time. The band wasn't out there actively playing shows so there probably wasn't any pressure from fans asking when it would be out almost flying under the radar sort of speak. When did recording start for this and try to paint a picture of the timeline and how you guys tried to nail everything 150% and not half ass any aspect of this release. Your drummer Dimi also told me this and also that you did your vocals over a few times. Apparently your voice sounded much better after doing clusters of shows with The Eddie Leeway Show and wasn't as solid when you weren't playing out regularly.
Eddie: Yes, and Dimi was right......a good portion was recorded at least 3 years ago, and my process took time because we stopped rehearsing for a long time after laying down the basic tracks. I didn't have time to get the best written for all songs.....for me to find my way through a song and come up with the hook I may have to just get in the studio, press play, and keep going until it's right. You also have to understand after playing steady over the past 15 months I re-established a whole new control that helped complete the record. We did try to lay new tracks over the 3 songs from the "Greenlight" EP and remix and re-introduce them to people who may not have heard the EP....so on top of being partially deaf since I was an infant I didn't always have someone in the studio with me making sure I was actually hitting the key solid. In my ear it may be on, but to a better ear NO....so we kept at it. I didn't want a lot of punching in and you can hear layers upon layers for certain parts because this is a different animal than playing live. I'm writing to make something memorable and timeless, and Rey and Zack were confidants ...90% of vocalists aren't doing what I'm doing... I'm laying down a history to prove a voice can be an actual instrument in this music.
IE: For you this is your first release on an album since Leeway's "Open Mouth Kiss" that came out in '95. On a personal level how satisfying is it to have this new material all lined up and ready to go?
Eddie: I'm grateful and humbled by the opportunity because I defied a lot of tough odds to get back to this moment musically, and I've been patiently waiting to show everyone this band isn't some fucking trendy, one-trick pony. This band of men helped me record something that I can be very proud of. Most of the older guys can't write relevant songs anymore. Most just play the same old set still, and the others aren't challenging or pushing the barriers of this genre. It's like they're either playing it safe or mailing it in. I think the music needs some revitalization brought forward to keep it alive.
IE: With this new release also comes a new venture from you in My Reality Entertainment which is a new label that you started with "Lies & Slights" set to be the debut release. On social media you have pulled no punches for the reasons why you decided to start this new label. I will give you the opportunity now to give your side of the story.
Eddie: It's pointless to really give much more about it. I was forced into a deal I didn't want and I tried to make it work.....just because you have a piece of paper that calls you a record label doesn't mean you get to avoid providing label services. I know labels don't do that well but it's become so baseless because there's a bunch of bands that give away the rights to their album for 100 copies. This form of exploitation is equivalent to prostitution....so by not having value in your music allows these paper labels to treat everyone this way. Too many bands now as well so it must be hard for the average fan to sift through a lot of garbage before you find treasure. I think the decline of the music is a sign.....they're saying "Most of you bands are boring us" so they stay home and the only time they come out is for the few bands they like, or in the case of the trendies, the band they jock. This music is more of a live thing and bands don't always have good recordings so I can see the decline in sales. I'm trying to speak as a fan here too, and believe me this is what people tell me.
IE: You had a Kickstarter campaign to get funds together to start My Reality. How much was raised and what were these funds needed for? Was there any hesitation on your end to ask for financial help from fans when there is often skepticism these days to Kickstarter campaigns, Go Fund Me's and the like?
Eddie: I set a small goal with KickStarter for just over $1200.00 after the deductions....it wound up being less than 1/3rd of what was actually needed. It's been extremely stressful trying to get My Reality Entertainment off the ground and at the time of this interview we pulled off the mastering, art, and I'm teaming with partners to have a special eco-wallet CD in time for the release date... October 30-31st.... There are added expenses regarding public notices in 2 newspapers for 6 weeks which is over $1200.00 alone....so at least the small fund got us started and that was the key so THANK YOU. I'll be playing with both Truth & Rights and Leeway NYC October 30th at The Blue Room in Secaucus, NJ. It's the first time I ever played near Halloween in ages and it's a record release celebration as well.....now with My Reality Entertainment and the establishing of a team and staff I can now say you can count on a new Leeway NYC release for 2017 as well.
IE: In addition to the label and band you are now also booking shows in NJ and doing your own blog. Can you give us the particulars on each of these?
Eddie: The blog is tels2015.blogspot.com and I'm trying to promote shows in New Jersey as well. I was able to get the first show off but too many bands cancelled on the second so the next show is the October 30th show when I do double-duty. I'm trying to figure out my costume for the show.

IE: For well over a year and change now you have been playing shows with yourself and friends under both "The Eddie Leeway Show" as well as Leeway playing tracks off of the first two Leeway albums. Now that "Lies & Slights" is set to hit the streets what is in the cards for The Eddie Leeway Show aka Leeway? Is there time and room to fit both of these projects in and can you see a situation where you go all in with Truth & Rights and put the Leeway stuff on either hold or just on the shelf altogether?
Eddie: I will fit time in for both. The Eddie Leeway Show was a more interchangeable band but I decided to call it Leeway NYC because it's not the same band and I want people to know it's a newer thing along with the older songs. We will record for 2017 without question... it's another reason why I started the label. I'm still gonna use The Eddie Leeway Show name for the blog and future podcast. I have plans to record much more soon...we're focusing on the promotion of "Lies & Slights" while both bands do shows. Now that there's organization I can do even more. I'll be announcing the management team I'll be working with very soon which consists of 2 old friends who also have a lot of knowledge and success in music... I'll make an official release on this soon.
IE: What has been discussed within the band as far as Truth & Rights playing out? Is this a band that we will see making the rounds outside of the NY area in the near future?
Eddie: Playing out was an issue for quite a while and we're going to fix that. At the time guys had commitments with their other bands with newer releases and work-related difficulties. We've discussed this and we may have to have a fill-in once in a while, but the core unit will remain. They all know how much I want to be on the road, but at the same time we have a huge challenge ahead of us making the right promotional campaign and to establish the attention this group deserves...that means we have to play out and do the right shows. Quality events will do us better than a quantity of dates. The promo campaign is the key, and I can't wait to start that in the next few weeks because I'm looking to stir everyone's emotions right now.
Click to stream/buy "Games" by Truth & Rights
IE: The name Truth & Rights sounds unique in a scene that has more generic band names than you can shake a stick at. What does the name Truth & Rights mean to you?
Eddie: We were trying to find a name and I was asking an older friend advice about this. He said "you were always a straight shooter, lyrically kind of like truth and rights reggae" and the name just hit me then...I said "THAT'S IT"..... I listen to these newer phrase-like band names versus the usual tough-guy or hard-styled names some of these clowns use to represent or brand their music, and I don't live in the fantasy of all that. Truth & Rights has more meaning than just this band, and I believe the average hardcore, metal, or indie fan wants the truth and the right to be who they want to be whether good or bad, so as an expression it represents something. You can buy the merch simply for the expression and it transends and crosses over where it could be the name of a clothing line itself...very much like what I'd like to do with the Leeway brand. In fact, there's a bunch out in Poland that sell some toy-ass garbage under the name "Leeway gear" and they're trying to pander to the American hip-hop scene at this moment. You can find it if you Google it. I shouldn't be even giving them any press, but I want people to know I have NOTHING to do with such garbage that lacks creativity. I mean there are dozens of stories about how the Leeway name was stolen from every country in Europe including some East German pub that stole the Leeway design from "Desperate Measures"....all these racist skinheads hung out there, from what I heard. But it didn't last long, thankfully because you can't sue these thieves who lack creativity. There's a Polish DJ Leeway as well. I'll smack whoever I get to meet or run into. I'll give them a dissertation on biting my style, hahaha!
IE: When you set up your merch table at shows you are always well stocked and usually have some good stuff. What are you gonna be pushing with Truth & Rights and how can people get their hands on these things?
Eddie: I've had a few shirts sitting around for quite a while waiting to offer as merch but I never really tried to promote it until we were ready to roll like we are now. I started with the Leeway merch after recovering from my neck injury and started to rebuild when here was nothing available. I'm hoping to make more than just band merch with both brands. I'm hoping to make both a kind of clothing line if I can and not just the usual tees, hoodies, CD, vinyl....quality is the key as well... I'm not gonna sell what I won't wear myself.
IE: That's all I got except that I have been listening to this new album since you sent me some un-mastered tracks about a month ago. I really like the style and wish you and the rest of the band much success with it.
Eddie: Thanks, Chris....I'll get you the mastered tracks so you can hear how big the final product is. I want to thank you for all the support and positive reinforcement you personally offered and the promotion through In Effect. I've been a lone wolf this whole time trying to promote alone without any of my record label's helping me which is why I'm done with them and going alone. We haven't had much support so you looking out for us has been immense, and on behalf of all of us I want to personally let you know how much it means to us. Best of luck to you as well.

DON'T BLINK -- DVD review by porfle
We're pretty much at the point now where a lot of movies in this particular genre don't even really require a set-up--it's just understood that there's a group of young stereotypes traveling to a remote location for the weekend (usually in order to "par-tay!"), and when they get there something bad will happen to them which will get progressively more terrifying, and they won't be able to escape. Or use their cell phones.
In writer-director Travis Oates' feature debut, DON'T BLINK (2014)--a title which conveniently serves as its own tagline--the bad thing is that everyone at the exquisitely rustic lodge this group of people have just arrived at, including all staff, guests, etc., seems to have mysteriously vanished. And then one by one, over the course of a long, arduous, and very eerie night, they themselves start to come up missing.
The only thing that keeps these movies from being clones of each other is how they're handled after the cookie-cutter setup, be they of a supernatural bent or more in the stalker-slasher vein. (See our recent reviews, for example, of DEATH DO US PART, ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE, THE BLACK WATERS OF ECHO'S POND, and the genre spoof HYSTERICAL PSYCHO.)
The usual personality types are on hand here, with variations of the usual interpersonal relationships. One of them, Noah (David de Lautour), who is the new boyfriend of Ella (Fiona Gubelmann), who is the old girlfriend of Jack (Brian Austin Green, CHROMESKULL: LAID TO REST 2, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), is the possible red-herring bad guy (a staple in these flicks) because he acts weird and nobody else knows him.
There's also Claire, the studious one with "final girl" potential (Joanne Kelly, "Warehouse 13"); Charlotte, the babe whose loose morals mask hidden insecurities (Samantha Jacobs); a nerd or two (I kind of lost track, to be honest); Jack's current love Tracy, played by Mena Suvari (AMERICAN BEAUTY, AMERICAN PIE); and, perhaps most interestingly, Zack Ward, the guy most of us remember as "Scut Farkus" in A CHRISTMAS STORY. He's well-cast as Alex, the loose cannon who becomes a danger to himself and others when panic starts to set in. (Robert Picardo of THE HOWLING and "Star Trek: Voyager" makes a very brief appearance.)
The cast members acquit themselves well enough at first although increasing demands on their dramatic abilities become a bit of a strain on some. Director Oates manages this atmospheric "Twilight Zone" type of material capably and the inexplicable disappearances are handled with a fair amount of suspense and spookiness.
What's ultimately bothersome about the script is that, as things veer closer toward the supernatural, it becomes more and more likely that we're going to be left hanging at the end, without a hint of what the hell's going on. I'm not asking for blueprints or diagrams or anything, but, heck, it's easy to gradually make a story as baffling and irrational as the writer wants it to be as long as he isn't planning on ever explaining anything anyway.
The DVD from Vertical Entertainment is in widescreen with Dolby 5.1 and 2.0 sound and subtitles in English. Extras consist of a trailer and instructions on how to obtain a digital copy of the film.
What does distinguish DON'T BLINK for me comes down to two things--one, the characters, dialogue, and situations aren't nearly as childishly dumb as in many movies of this type, and two, there's a strong, deliberate sense of mystery and suspense that kept me right with it for pretty much the whole running time. It's too bad that at its disappointingly inconclusive ending, the movie itself almost blinks out of existence.

Something weird has happened lately and it's not a direct result of any of the several types of personal development activity in which I immerse myself but never actually put into practice. It's just a habit I've developed on my own. I've started writing stuff down more.
I always kept a journal, as pretty much anyone who knows me knows. This is different though. Every single time I have a thought that could be useful to me in some way, I make a note of it. At the end of the week, I have all these pieces of paper, entries on my laptop and notes on my phone and I have to type them all up into a spreadsheet and then rank them and there are like a hundred of these lines representing ideas I've had.
Occasionally I'll actually do one of the things I had an idea about and it tends to be really small like Googling something or sending an email to someone. It's insane how quickly they build up though. It's like I've expanded how my brain works. I've always used paper a bit like that when it comes to memory and you know what? It's really inefficient. I've got pages and pages and pages full of memories I wouldn't even know how to index or sort through and for the most past, they're absolutely useless.
It's bound to happen one day. Seamless expansion of memory and retrieval using technology. Computers do a pretty good job and they're getting better all the time at predicting what we're getting at and returning relevant information based on how well they know us.
I think we'll be arguing with Google soon. It'll know what we need better than we do and there'll be stats to back it up and it'll learn how to negotiate too. Then we'll get really frustrated because whatever's best for you is always frustrating. Until then, I'll just keep writing everything down.

Friday's storms: more of a 'chance' than a 'threat'
Posted 11:12 pm, April 27, 2017, by Jason Simpson, Updated at 02:46PM, April 28, 2017
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - A strong surge of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico headed north has brought widespread low clouds across the Tennessee Valley Friday. There will be some breaks in the clouds during the afternoon, allowing temperatures to warm into the middle 80s. It will stay quite windy through the afternoon and evening as well; expect sustained winds between 12 and 22 miles per hour with occasionally higher gusts. The stronger winds are in response to a developing storm system over the Southern Plains. The more organized rain and storms will stay to our north and west until late Sunday, though there may be one or two strong storms around Friday and Saturday afternoons.
'May' is the key word in the storm threat for today and Saturday. A thick layer of warm, dry air 6,000 to 8,000 feet above our heads (called a cap) is probably just enough to prevent a lot of storms. If a storm manages to break through that 'cap,' it could get strong quickly producing some high winds and hail. We'll keep you posted if that happens, but right now it is a big, big IF.

NAM forecast skew-t plot for The Shoals Friday afternoon 4/28/17
It's called a 'cap,' and it acts like a lid over the lower part of the atmosphere preventing storms from exploding upward and realizing their full potential.
If a storm manages to break through that 'cap,' it could get strong quickly producing some high winds and hail. We'll keep you posted if that happens, but right now it is a big, big IF.
Forecast plots like this one give meteorologists heart burn because there's no good way to describe it perfectly. We like to give as close to a definitive 'yes' or 'no' answer as we can. That small part of the vertical atmospheric profile is probably enough to shut down the storms Friday in Alabama and Southern Tennessee. On the other hand, if one storm does form, it will have a lot of energy and wind shear around it to grow powerful.
It's a very low risk situation, but it's not a 'NO RISK' situation.
Breezy, stormy weekend weather: Got Panoply plans? Make sure you have Live Alert 19! It's the official weather app of Panoply, and it may be a big help to you with the gusty winds and chances for some scattered storms on Friday and Saturday. You can also see specific information on the chance of rain, the wind speed, and get alerts while you're at Panoply! Just be sure you've got it set to "Use Current Location."
Our bigger risk of storms comes in on Sunday; that's one we all need to be mindful of through the next few days.
Widespread heavy rain and storms become very likely Sunday night into early Monday (Image: WHNT News 19)
A dynamic storm system kicks off intense storms in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and West Tennessee Saturday night; those storms move east through Sunday morning threatening Alabama and Middle Tennessee by lunchtime.
The system moves so slowly that we expect our 'threat' of stormy weather to begin as early as noon and last through Sunday night - potentially even early Monday morning before it all moves out.
This surge of storms may bring "all modes of severe weather." That's meteorologist-speak for the kitchen sink of weather: strong winds, hail, intense lightning, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Specific threat information on what is most likely and when it will hit ________ town or county just is not available right now.
Think about it in terms of READY, SET, GO. We're in the READY phase right now. We know there is a risk of some storms, so think about what you would do IF a severe storm is headed your way.
Sunday is the SET time. You've already considered your plan, and if a 'watch' is issued, it's time to get ready to execute that plan. You are 'set' and ready to go if you need to.
If a warning is issued (tornado or severe thunderstorm), it's time to GO. That's when you put your plan in action.
Could some factor reduce or totally wipe out the risk of severe storms Sunday? Yes. It sure could; however, we don't see a huge limiting factor from this distance. We will definitely keep you posted, and you should check in with us from time to time through Friday and Saturday as we get a better gauge on the situation for Sunday.

I hated winter growing up. I remember shoveling snow many days in a row, morning and afternoon, and having snow dump down my neck when shoveling under a tree. Everything was cold, all the lakes were frozen, and the air was very polluted.
Now I dont mind winter. The days are generally in the 40s or 50s, Every now and again we will get a little snow that doesnt last long. Being outside is great, and the views change because the leafs are fallen from the trees. North Carolina has a nice climate.
This painting is of a farm a few miles down the road, on a balmy winter afternoon.

JENNINGS LEADS LIONS OVER ALS IN WEEK 1 FINALE
Jonathon Jennings and the BC Lions clawed their way to a 22-10 home victory over the Montreal Alouettes in the Week 1 finale on Saturday night. The Lions' versatile quarterback got his 2018 season off to a hot start, completing 20 of 24 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns while also adding a career-high 57 yards on the ground. BC's defence did its part as well, adding an interception and five sacks to help hand Montreal their 12th-straight loss.
The Alouettes came out strong on their opening possession, with running back Tyrell Sutton carrying the ball five-straight times to put the Lions' defence on their heels. Receiver B.J. Cunningham appeared to give Montreal the early lead with a long 52-yard touchdown catch, but the play was called back on a holding penalty.
Drew Willy and the Als' offence made up for it just two plays later after the veteran quarterback found receiver Chris Williams deep down the field for a 56-yard connection. The ball was knocked loose before Williams could cross the goal line, but receiver Eugene Lewis was there to recover it in the end zone for his first career CFL touchdown. Kicker Boris Bede added the extra point to give Montreal the early 7-0 lead.
Jennings looked sharp on the Lions' second offensive drive, zipping a slant pass to receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux to get things rolling. The athletic quarterback used both his arm and legs to push his team down the field, and BC's passing attack found a steady rhythm that would continue throughout the game.
Receiver Bryan Burnham made an acrobatic 12-yard catch on the drive, and Jennings hit receiver Shaq Johnson on the very next play for a 35-yard touchdown. Johnson used his speed to gain separation and get open on the right side of the field, and kicker Ty Long knocked through the extra point to tie the game at seven apiece.
Montreal's offence looked strong again on their second drive, with Willy hooking up with receiver Ernest Jackson for a big 54-yard strike. But Odell Willis' first sack as a Lion stifled the Als' drive, and they would settle for a 30-yard field goal to grab the 10-7 lead. Willy completed 10 of 12 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
Jennings continued to make plays in multiple ways after the Lions got the ball back, as the quarterback found space in the Als' defensive front for a 21-yard run to bring the Lions into Montreal territory. The Als' defence bounced back on the drive to hold strong, and Long punted the ball for a single to bring BC within two points.
Running back Jeremiah Johnson began to get the Lions' running game going in the second quarter, and Long would boot another punt for a single to bring the score to 10-9 in the second quarter.
Both defences stole the show in the third quarter, with both defensive lines clogging up running lanes and applying pressure to keep the big plays to a minimum. The lone score of the quarter would be a 27-yard BC field goal from Long, giving the Lions a narrow 11-10 lead.
BC continued to build momentum near the end of the quarter with Jennings completing seven-straight passes, and Long would knock through a 30-yard field to extend the Lions' lead to 15-10 early in the fourth quarter.
The first turnover of the game came when Willy was picked off by Lions defensive back Garry Peters while trying to complete a short pass over the middle to Eugene Lewis. Jennings continued his big performance immediately after getting the ball back, calling his own number for a 16-yard scamper. The Lions' offence capitalized on the Peters interception when Jennings connected with receiver Cory Watson for an 11-yard touchdown strike, giving BC a 22-10 lead that would hold to seal the Week 1 victory.
The Alouettes will look to bounce back when they host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers next Friday in Week 2, while the Lions will be off until travel to face the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 3.

Restructuring of an exemplary tertiary program
The Île-de-France building, now called Altiplano, was built in the early 1980s. Since 2017, the building's various tenants have successively left the building, with the last occupied premises vacated in April 2019. The owner has launched a cleaning and asbestos removal operation on all the interior spaces in order to restructure it.
Overlooking the city of Puteaux on the southern esplanade of Paris La Défense (Villon district), the building built in 1982 is therefore the subject of a total restructuring project, the work on which began in the 2nd quarter of 2020. In line with the changes currently taking place in Paris La Défense, Altiplano's 57,000 square meters of office, service and retail space will offer a new perspective on commercial use and set new standards. Indeed, Altiplano will have a very active base, which, in its contemporary version, will diversify and energize the landscape of the Villon district, just a stone's throw from the esplanade.
Altiplano is designed by the firm B. Architecture, and the requalification of the building is being piloted by Orféo Développement as delegated project manager. The building will be bathed in natural light, generously planted, open to the outside and horizontal (not IGH). Altiplano will feature generous patios and loggias, as well as vast open-air terraces that will allow users to develop an art of working unique to La Défense.
The creation of services open to the public on the building's slab level includes
A drugstore/general grocery store: approximately 1000 m².
A restaurant / brasserie: approximately 350 m².
The surroundings of Altiplano are being redeveloped to improve the quality of use of the site for users and residents. Indeed, particular attention is being paid to the landscaping and mineral development of the forecourt.
The redesign of the site's surroundings includes :
A landscaping project and revised exterior arrangements to improve the vegetation of the surroundings,
The connection and pedestrian/bicycle flows between the "City of Puteaux" level and the "slab" level have been rethought,
The restaurant projects located on the slab level will animate the pedestrian walkways around the building, as well as the facades of the ground floor,
The shops at the foot of the building will also enrich the service and restaurant offer in the neighborhood. Interventions on the exterior include: raising the elevators, creating a monumental staircase, a new firemen's access ramp...
The building before :
Height: 6 floors on the slab
Principle of construction on piles, in a promontory on the Villon parking lot
ERP complex of 57,000 m² of floor space on 8 floors above the slab
Vertical extension with a 2-storey elevation
Net extension of + 15,200 m² approximately
Top floor in mezzanine with skybar and open-air terraces
Drugstore/shops: 1,000 m² ;
Brasserie + Terraces: 350 m² approximately;
Business Center and auditorium: approx. 2,000 m².
110 bicycle parking spaces
Approximately 90 parking spaces

14b were chosen to approximate real-world values for both 50- and 65-Ω trace values (both are common in the industry). Notice that the high-impedance traces exhibit significantly more impedance variation than do the lower-impedance traces because the reference planes are much farther in relation to the signal spacing. 14. Note that the mutual parasitics drop off exponentially with spacing. Also note that the values of the mutual terms are smaller for the lower impedance trace. The reader should note that these plots are for a simple two-conductor system.

However, reports finding the dangerous mineral in items children usually play with, like crayons, sent the country into a new wave of panic. All the toys that tested positive for asbestos were imported from China, which represents one of the biggest economic powers that still heavily employs the use of asbestos, coming second only to Russia, which fills the position at the top.
Testing Toys for Asbestos
A series of tests were conducted under the authority of the Environmental Working Group, otherwise known as the EWG, showed that among the toys made in China there were crayons and crime lab kits that tested positive for two types of asbestos, tremolite and chrysotile. The products in which asbestos was found are the following:
Amscan Crayons (Amscan)
Disney Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Crayons (Greenbrier International)
Edu Science Deluxe Forensics Lab Kit (Toys R Us)
Inside Intelligence Secret Spy Kit (Buy-Rite)
Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Crayons (MII Inc.)
Saban Power Rangers Super Megaforce Crayons (Greenbrier International)
Each product that tested positive for asbestos also contained talc, and researchers linked the contamination to the presence of both of these two components. Talc and asbestos, from a geological point of view, have their origin in the same kind of parent rock. Thus, even if asbestos ceased to be mined for a few decades now, it continues to be extracted from sediments in which it is naturally mixed with talc.
Talc in itself is not considered a danger, it only becomes so when it is laced with asbestos. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for it to be used in a purified state. The researchers that oversaw the testing of the toys found talc interwoven with the fibrous mineral in the composition of some of the imported crayons and in the powder from a few imported crime scene fingerprint sets, the latter posing more of a threat than the former due to the fact that it can be easily inhaled by children.
Toys and Asbestos Exposure
It was a study from 2000 that first confirmed there were traces of asbestos in crayons. The verdict reached was that the quantity used in the products was not enough to become life-threatening. As a result of this investigation, no new regulations were imposed for the crayon manufacturing industries. However, ever since that discovery, opposing opinions continue to speak about the dangers of asbestos and to militate for it to be completely removed from children's toys.
The fact remains that there is not one single documented case of a child affected by an asbestos-related disease due to them playing with crayons, but there are voices that point to the young ages of the children in question and the scientifically proven long latency period of such illnesses as being vital elements to consider when drawing conclusions about a diagnosis. This is an extremely delicate situation, because when asbestos is found in houses, homeowners can use a professional company to remove asbestos, or they can do it themselves. Unfortunately, this cannot be done with toys. It seems that prevention may the only course of action. The current official policy on asbestos in the United States permits the use of the toxin as long as it stays within the limit of 1% of a product.
Why Should I Test Products in My Home for Asbestos?
It is often impossible to tell whether asbestos is embedded in a material, as the fibers are too small to be observed with the naked eye. Exposure to asbestos is responsible for serious respiratory conditions, so thorough testing is required to ensure your home is asbestos-free.

If you liked skipping classes or sneaking out of school, this would be your worst nightmare.
Chinese schools are adopting "intelligent school uniforms" to keep closer watch on their students, according to the state-run Global Times. The uniforms, made by a local tech firm named Guanyu, have two chips embedded in the shoulders with identification and GPS.
The uniform chips can supposedly alert teachers and parents through an app if students leave the campus during school hours -- and then locate them. One of the schools using the uniforms claimed to Global Times that they won't track students outside of school hours.
I don't believe that these are only going to monitor kids during school hours, so one has to wonder; when proven successful at their given task, just when will these chips be mandated in any article of clothing a Chinese person may want to buy?!?
And please don't think for one millisecond, that American educators and professional government despots, are not thinking about having this mandated for every child going to a public school in this country.

The purpose of the page is to propagate the idea of substitution. Substitution of hazardous chemicals is a method to a fundamental and continued improvement of occupational health by selection and development of alternative technical processes using less hazardous chemicals or no chemicals at all.
From 1976 to 1993 a window was sometimes open in Denmark to make research in substitution. Unfortunately I still find this research actual and relevant, because in reality so little has been done in this area, especially in using the result. Therefore I hope that this page can be an inspiration for methods, results, and both practical and political experiences.
Graduated from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) with a master degree as chemical engineer I have worked at the University of Copenhagen (KU), Department of Medical Chemistry, and DTU, Department of Chemical Engineering, with chemicals in working environment and especially substitution of hazardous chemicals.

The One Punch Knockout and the New Yankees Reality
All Star Game, Award Winners, Ballparks, CBA, Cy Young Award, Draft, Fantasy/Roto, Free Agents, Games, Hall Of Fame, History, Hot Stove, Management, Media, MiLB, MLB Trade Deadline, MLB Waiver Trades, MVP, PEDs, Players, Playoffs, Prospects, Spring Training, Stats, Trade Rumors, World Series
The Yankees are in the midst of taking an accumulation of punches that place their 2013 hopes on the precipice of ending in December. The organization isn't used to that; the rest of baseball isn't used to that; and the media isn't used to that; and the fans are definitely not used to that.
Let's look.
The losses
None of the players who have departed the Yankees this winter are irreplaceable on their own. Nick Swisher just agreed to a 4-year, $56 million contract with the Indians. Rafael Soriano is still on the market. Eric Chavez, Russell Martin and Raul Ibanez all went to other teams. Individually, each would inspire a shrug from the Yankees of old and they'd simply spend money or trade for other pieces to replace them. But when you combine the weak free agent market with the combination of Yankees' needs and that they're not spending any cash to fill them, you have a mess.
When was the last time the Yankees didn't retain players that they wanted to keep? They wanted to keep Martin; they wanted to keep Chavez; they wanted to keep Ibanez. Martin went to the Pirates—the Pirates!!! Chavez to the Diamondbacks; and Ibanez to the Mariners. Three teams with nowhere near the spending power the Yankees are supposed to have, nor the historically winning environment. Yet all three are gone. While, on the surface, it may seem that the Martin departure was the most shocking and painful, leaving the largest hole, it's really Ibanez's decision not to wait for the Yankees to make their offer that signifies how far the Yankees have fallen both perceptively and in fact.
It strikes of pure Yankees arrogance to tell Ibanez to sit tight and wait without any guarantees that they're going to make him an offer and expect him to do it. The days in which players will wait for the Yankees are over. Ibanez had a job offer in hand and likely significant playing time with the Mariners or he could've waited out the Yankees for an offer that might never come.
Can anyone blame him for walking? And do the Yankees have a backup plan for any of these departures?
The replacements and retentions
Ichiro Suzuki was re-signed because the Yankees were left with few options other than him. If you listen to GM Brian Cashman's politely uninterested tone when he was asked if Ichiro was going to be back, and amid the hemming and hawing, you hear everything but the word he really wanted to say—no. Eventually, though, they not only brought Ichiro back, but they gave him a two-year contract.
Cashman, who wants power hitters, is now faced with Ichiro in right field and Brett Gardner in left. These are not power hitters. Jason Kubel is available from the Diamondbacks and has one year remaining on his contract. As flawed a player as he is, he's a power hitter that would fit neatly into the current Yankees' lineup as something other than a fan-placating addition or 38-40-year old former star signed with an unsaid prayer that they have enough in the tank to get them through 2013. That said, Kubel is a platoon player who is at his best against righties. D-Backs GM Kevin Towers isn't giving Kubel away, and considering what Ibanez took from the Mariners ($2.75 million) and what Kubel is due ($8.5 million), they'd have been better off keeping Ibanez. Defensively each is as bad as the other.
Who are they getting to fill the remaining holes at DH and catcher? A.J. Pierzynski signed with the Rangers on a one-year contract and the Yankees didn't even make an offer to him. Francisco Cervelli is currently at the top of their depth chart at catcher. They've signed Kevin Youkilis to replace the injured Alex Rodriguez at third base, and they don't have a bench.
These are the Yankees? Piecing and patching and praying?
And the talk that the Cashman tends to make big moves late in the winter sounds more desperate and hopeful than expectant.
The veterans and the human element
Will the Yankees' players realize where the season is going if they're at or below .500 in June or are far out of playoff position? Will they choose to live to fight another day?
The concept that they're the Yankees and they never quit no matter the circumstances is convenient to the narrative, but is totally ignorant of the human element involved with older athletes who have their money and may not have the stomach (or the available "helpers") to spend the last four months of a season mounting a heroic comeback.
Age is not a factor to be dismissed. Because the Yankees' stars have such accomplished resumes, it's reasonable to expect a certain minimum/maximum level of performance, but with age comes a natural decline. Players who are in their late-30s/early 40s and are coming off serious injuries as Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are and as A-Rod will, can't grind it out and put up the same effort on a nightly basis they did when they were 10 and even 5 years younger. Drug testing making it impossible to take amphetamines or any other form of chemical assistance renders a 40-year-old to being a 40-year-old with the accompanying aches, pains and inconsistencies.
If those veterans see the season is shot in July, they're going to bail just as they did in the ALCS. What's the difference between doing it three months earlier if continuing to push is little more than postponing the inevitable?
"Everyone wants to be a Yankee"
Yes. Everyone wants to be a Yankee as long as they pay the most money. When this chapter of Yankee history is fully written in a decade or so, the first domino to tip over in the Yankees downfall wasn't the 2012-2013 winter and the failure to retain their free agents or to make significant improvements with younger players; nor will it be the $189 million payroll mandate to be met by 2014. It will be the winter of 2010-2011 when Cliff Lee shunned the Yankees and instead chose to sign with the Phillies.
Prior to Lee, when was the last time the Yankees avidly pursued a player, offered him the most money and were turned down? Greg Maddux comes to mind. Before that, who? When did the Yankees refuse to overpay to get a player they wanted even if that player was indifferent about being a Yankee and would've gone elsewhere if he had a choice like CC Sabathia?
First it was Lee. Then it was Carl Pavano right after Lee. Now they're reduced to losing out on Martin, Chavez and Ibanez.
Players wanted to be Yankees, but it wasn't because they were longing to play in New York, or they wanted to win a championship, or that they were hypnotized (as the Michael Kay wing of mythmaking would assert) by the pinstripes and "rich tapestry of history." It was because of money.
It's quite simple. Offer the most money, the players will come and say that they always wanted to be a member of whatever team it was that offered them the most money. When Bobby Bonilla did it with the Mets in the winter of 1991-92, he was called an opportunistic liar because he didn't really want to be with the Mets. When Sabathia did it, he didn't come for the money. He was concerned about the reputation in the clubhouse of being dysfunctional and miserable.
That concern was assuaged and he signed. Oh, and the Yankees paid him the most money.
With each passing day the Yankees new truth becomes clearer and clearer. Because they don't have the cash to spend now, the players aren't coming. As a result, this is the team they've put together—one that had it been built in 2005, would've been similar to the 1998 team that won 114 games and is considered one of the best in history. But the players they have today are not the players they were eight years ago. Those results are going to show on the field. Then they'll show up in the newspapers with critical columns followed by disinterest; it will in the stands with empty seats; and on TV and radio with hosts reminiscing of the good old days or ignoring the Yankees completely.
Like a sculpture, it's not the first chip that does the damage, but an accumulation. The Yankees cumulative age, lack of funds, and diminished reputation are chipping away at what they were. The foundation has been decaying for years. This is the end result. If it looks bad now, just wait until the season starts. Then the crumbling infrastructure will be obvious to all and the "it'll all be okay," delusion prevalent now will be mercifully end.
Reality has a way of sorting itself out.

Q: Django Running Particular Test In My Project more than one test file and if i run
python manage.py tests

It takes huge time to complete the test and i don't want this way.
I want only run particular file of test like i have test
project/todo/tests/test_todo.py
project/accounts/tests/test_signup.py
project/todo/tests/test_archive.py

and lots more like above these:
Now i want to run only project/todo/tests/test_todo.py How can i do it?

A: you can simply do python manage.py test project.todo.tests.test_todo. Observe the difference here instead of giving it as a file, you can give it as a package. If you want to run a particular test case in a test suite, you can go ahead in the same way. python manage.py test project.todo.tests.test_todo.TestSuiteClass.TestCase.

A: You can run a particular test by using the following command.
python manage.py test -nk appname.test_folder.test_file

-n, --nomigrations    Tells Django to NOT use migrations and create all
                        tables directly.
-k, --keepdb          Preserves the test DB between runs.

Navy proposes expanding Gulf of Alaska exercise area
Michael S. Lockett
The Navy is issuing a proposal for expanding their Gulf of Alaska exercise area. The proposal will come up for public comment this spring.
The proposal includes more than quadrupling the area available for aircraft and warships to maneuver. The existing area has been in use in one form or another since the 1990s, said environmental public affairs specialist Julianne Stanford.
"The existing training area, known as the Temporary Maritime Activities Area (TMAA), is approximately 42,146 square nautical miles," Stanford said in an email. "The Navy is proposing to add an additional area, known as the Western Maneuver Area (WMA), that would be approximately 185,806 square nautical miles."
