We've put a piece of carpet on the floor and used a propane buddy heater in the boat. The carpet is nice for your feet as well, since its much warmer than the cold metal floor. I don't know where you envision the dog staying while you hunt, but my challenge in any blind is that the dogs hate not seeing what's going on. They'll lay or stay where they can see out but if they're looking at the gunwale you have trouble. So maybe on the front casting deck put some carpet!
Out of the wind, off the cold metal, they'll do wonderful. Have fun!
Side question, how much variation is there in the KLM's coats? I volunteered at a NAVHDA test and was surprised to hear two different coat evaluations by the judges for the two munsterlanders. It always seemed like they were consistent across the board.

Wild Agrees To Terms On Deal With Defenseman Blum
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild have agreed to terms on one-year, two-way contracts with free agent defensemen Jonathon Blum and Jon Landry.
The team announced the deals on Friday, but the contracts pay less if the player is in the minors.
The 24-year-old Blum had one goal and six assists in 35 games for Nashville last season. He was a first-round draft pick by the Predators in 2007. Over the past three years, Blum played 103 games.
With Ryan Suter, Jonas Brodin, Keith Ballard, Marco Scandella, Jared Spurgeon and Clayton Stoner, the Wild have their blue line all but set. Blum, former Sioux Falls Stampede captain Nate Prosser and 2012 first-round draft pick Matt Dumba will also be in the mix for a roster spot.
The 30-year-old Landry played in the AHL last season.

"Why would women with breast cancer want to learn to play tennis? Cancer is such a serious business and tennis is, well, it's play." These are often the thoughts brought about when first hearing about the Tennis for Life program at the Ridgewood Racquet Club in Ridgewood, N.J.
Tennis for Life is a program held in conjunction with the Northern New Jersey Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. It offers breast cancer survivors an opportunity to enjoy free weekly tennis lessons and play-no matter the playing skill level or stage of recovery. The group meets on Sunday afternoons for an hour-and-a-half, followed by an informative speaker or coffee and an information sharing session.
Chris Mathewson, a board member and manager of the club notes that since its inception in 1998, more than 150 women have participated in Tennis for Life. "As far as we know, this program is unique in this country. Recently, we were recognized by the Zonta Clubs of Bergen County, which presented us with its Trailblazer Award," she says. "Additionally, Ridgewood Racquet Club has received the Good Business Partnership Award from the Northern New Jersey Business Council for its support of Tennis for Life, and the United States Tennis Association aids our program, as well."
Scott Devens adds that the program, founded by his wife Marcia, was "born" out of need and has flourished in the years since.
"My wife started this program. At that point, she had been battling cancer for about 11 years. She was an avid tennis player and found that tennis helped her with everything she had to go through," says Devens. "Marcia realized that playing tennis aided in recovery by building upper body strength, increasing stamina and endurance and helping with weight control."
Vlady Smolkin, the energetic tennis pro who teaches in the program, believes the benefits go far beyond improving physical strength and tennis skills.
"I don't allow the women to think of their situation when they are on the court. A cancer diagnosis can take over your life and overpower everything else. It becomes all you can think of," explains Smolkin. "I make them concentrate on only one thing: hitting the ball. This way, they see themselves getting better and better each week and stronger and stronger. It is a tremendous boost to their self esteem and induces optimism."
Terry Grayner has participated for several years and now runs the program agrees that there is more to the Tennis for Life program than meets the eyes.
"Here we do everything to empower our participants. It is important that passive victims become transformed into survivors who take an active role in ensuring their own survival," she says. "For example, one of our players Jannat Bey heads our Advocacy Committee and reports on issues where our people's voice can make a difference. These include legislative initiatives, dealing with insurance companies, lobbying for a Patient's Bill of Rights, etc."
The combined benefits help members such as Chris Nyland not only feel better but also feel accepted — not always easy for women surviving with breast cancer.
"The atmosphere of support one gets here is as important as the physical exercise. Having cancer is a club you never thought you would join. No one, except another survivor, knows what you are going through," Nyland says. "As soon as you come to Tennis for Life, you are accepted and become part of the group."

BRIDGETON � The Bridgeton RiverFest has changed its dates after oppressive June heat greeted the event, with a 2013 switch to Oct. 25 to 27.
The outdoor event is at the Bridgeton Harbor Marina on B Street
�And, we also opted to coordinate with New Bern�s famous Ghostwalk to hopefully bring more crowds into town by offering more to do that special weekend,� said promoter Alan Welch. �We say, �Come for the art, stay for the Ghostwalk.��
Welch announced this week that the festival has secured Jim Hirschfield, a professor, artist and chair of the Intellectual Life Committee at UNC-Chapel Hill, as this year�s art judge.
In addition to his position at the university, Hirshfield has a long and varied career as an artist, art consultant, lecturer and educator.
More than two dozen artists have committed for the festival, with works ranging from water-ink, ceramics, acrylics, oils, pen-and-ink to clay.
The event also features art jewelers, wood art, metalwork, stitch designs, authors and handcrafted weather vanes.
The artists represent a wide range of coastal areas, both locally and regionally from Wilmington, Sneads Ferry, Beaufort, Raleigh, Morehead City, Hillsboro, Newport, Hertford, Swansboro, Richlands and Statesville.
The featured individual artists include Kevin Chen, Steve Buckley, Allesandro Cagiati, Angela Canaan, Thomas Clark, Rachel Croom, Marty Freeman, Janice Harris, Janet Harriman, Robin Griswald-Ott, Cheryl Grinnell, Sue Lawrence, Pam Holiday, Amy Queen, Ron McCall, Debra Pagliughi, William Schanz and M. Matteson Smith.
Some other exhibitors include Rosemary St. Clair Originals & Topstitch Desgins, Recycling is for the Birds, Kalisto Studios, Glasshoppers, D&L Weathervanes and Steve Buckley, with �Black Bear the Pirate.�

The city of Memphis has raised the matching funds to build the "Main to Main Connector," the $29.7 million project designed to link Main Street Memphis to Broadway Avenue in West Memphis via a boardwalk for bicyclists and pedestrians on the north side of the Harahan Bridge straddling the Mississippi River.
"What a great opportunity to provide free amenities that are there for everybody to use," said John Moore, president and CEO of the Chamber, "This is what happens when the community comes together. When that happens, generally we get results."
"This is just so fantastic because it's really a nation spotlight-like project." said Moore. 'We can take advantage of what we have with the river and be a leader."
In May, the Greater Memphis Chamber took the extraordinary step of asking the community to raise $250,000 in private donations to meet a looming federal deadline. In order for the project to secure a $15 million federal grant, $1 million needed to be raised privately. The Greater Memphis Chamber pledged $1,000 to the fund and encouraged others to make pledges. Bicycling trail advocate Charles McVean, the brains behind the ambitious project, always maintained that the $1 million in local funds would be raised.
On Tuesday, Memphis-based Boyle Investment Company stepped forward with a large pledge of $50,000 towards the initiative.
"We are pleased to contribute to this important collaboration between the public and private sectors to enhance the quality of life in the greater Memphis area," said Henry Morgan, Co-Chairman of Boyle. "Memphis citizens, businesses and community leaders have responded positively to this new amenity and have expressed enthusiasm for additional greenway segments throughout the community, and so Boyle is proud to play a role in this significant initiative."
The bridge boardwalk would be the first part of the plan with construction beginning in September. But the other parts follow quickly and will be underway as the boardwalk is being built.
Plans have shown a Harahan Bridge boardwalk that is more expensive than the original estimate of approximately $12 million because the original steel structure on the bridge can no longer support the weight of a new surface and those who would use it.
While much attention has been focused on the 97-year-old Harahan bridge, and connecting Memphis to West Memphis, a weighty chunk of the money, up to $11 million, will be used to make improvements to the ailing Main Street Mall in Downtown Memphis
"The most dramatic feature would be the (Harahan) bridge and the changes to Main Street, and they are major changes, but they're more about fixing things that have been neglected for years and making the pedestrian and bike corridor around Main Street a safer and more enjoyable experience."

Prof. Nagle quoted in The Atlantic on Evangelicals and Environmentalists
Greening for God: Evangelicals Learn to Love Earth Day
The Atlantic
It may take years before Christianity's anti-environmentalist streak entirely disappears. Among older evangelicals, there is still a lingering suspicion toward scientists in general and mainstream environmentalists in particular. In the meantime, evangelicals are creating their own distinctive way of caring for the planet — a brand that may purposefully avoid the term "environmentalism," says John Nagle, a Notre Dame law professor who studies environmental views within Christian circles.

This year, Christmas Day is meaning one thing to me it seems – It's Complicated finally arrives in theatres! The newest eagerly awaited movie from Nancy Meyers has gotten early so-so reviews. But what's new? Most of her movies don't get raves from the critics, but the audiences love them. Maybe this one will be the one that gets Nancy Meyers the respect she deserves. It was recently nominated for Best Comedy by the Golden Globes and its star Meryl Streep was nominated for Best Comedic Actress for blogger favorite Julie and Julia AND It's Complicated. The buzz, despite early mixed reviews, is huge. And of course, the 1920's Santa Barbara house where Streep's character lives is getting a lot of attention. Traditional Home featured it in their latest magazine and recently added more pictures on their web site. Even the New York Times has gotten into the act with a lengthy cover story of Meyers in its previous weekend magazine HERE. Right now, Nancy Meyers is hot – for once.
The youthful looking Nancy Meyers with her trademark glasses. Does she look like the most powerful woman in Hollywood? Maybe more like a friend or a sister? I am a huge fan of the woman – reading in the NYT story of how she was booted out of her "power booth" in a trendy LA restaurant in favor of lawyer to the stars, Howard Weitzman, makes me admire her all the more. The list of movies she's either written, produced or directed includes so many blockbusters – it's shocking she still can't get a "good" table at restaurants – yet I'm not surprised. She doesn't look like a major Hollywood player, yet the author of the NYT article postulates Meyers is THE woman in Tinsel Town – the most powerful female working in film today.
Private Benjamin: One of the funnier scenes in the movie. Eileen Brennan almost steals the movie from Goldie Hawn.
Nancy Meyers' first screen credit was in 1980 with Private Benjamin – which she co-wrote and produced along with her partner and now ex-husband Charles Shyer. I was a single, 26 year old when I saw that movie and related tremendously to Judy Benjamin, the spoiled Jewish princess who finds herself stuck in the army (well, ok. I didn't exactly relate to the Army part!!!) One scene contains what I still consider a genius piece of comedic editing: meeting the hopelessly gorgeous Frenchman, Henri, Judy is aloof. A romantic Frenchman for a Jewish princess? Not going to happen. She ignores the handsome Henri's attentions as a "lost cause" – he obviously is not marriage material, so why bother? When in conversation he softly utters the words "I'm Jewish" – the scene immediately cuts to the two of them in bed together. So funny, yet so true! My friends and I howled over that scene. It's no wonder I related to Judy – Nancy Meyers was another Jewish princess, only five years older than myself. But at that time, I had no idea we shared another quality – a love of interior design.
Meyers and Charles Shyer on the set of "Irreconcilable Differences" in 1983. Once her partner and husband, Shyer is now remarried with young children. That hair! It looks like they even went to the same beautician!
On the heels of the success of Private Benjamin, other hits followed: Irreconcilable Differences, Baby Boom (with wonderful set design, a hint of things to come), Father of the Bride, Parts I and II, I Love Trouble, The Parent Trap, and then came the blockbuster hits – Something's Gotta Give, and The Holiday. While she produced and directed What Women Want, she didn't write it, which probably explains why it's not a favorite of mine. It's Complicated is sure to be another huge hit. Helping fuel the excitement is "the house" – the silent star of Meyer's latest movies. She is becoming known more for her set design than the script itself. Father of the Bride was her first movie where the house upstaged the actors. I remember a friend bragging that her own new George Smith sofa was featured in that movie. A George Smith sofa? In a movie? Seriously? It really is no surprise that Meyers' films would feature beautiful interiors when you learn her background - she grew up around antiques and good interior design. Her mother was a decorator and other close relatives were in the antiques business. She spent her childhood traipsing through the fields at antique shows with her parents. Her love of interior design spills over to her leading ladies, especially since the characters seem based on herself. Meyers own house is a beauty that rivals any she has created for a movie, and indeed, her designer James Radin helped create the decorating themes for SGG, The Holiday and It's Complicated. Touring Nancy Meyers own house, the line is sometimes blurred between reality and cinema.
Father of the Bride, Part I and II were the start of Meyer's career as the Interior Designer Movie Maker. The house featured two slipcovered George Smith sofas and other expensive furnishings. Steve Martin remembers thinking it was all a bit too fancy for audiences to relate to. He couldn't have been more wrong – Meyers interiors are a huge part of her appeal.
Father of the Bride – The Living Room.
Looking at the Father of the Bride living room from the opposite direction, this fabulous slipcovered wing chair is covered in an expensive tea-stained English linen fabric. In the recent New York Times article, Meyers discusses and defends her reasoning behind using good fabrics and expensive furniture on her sets: it's part of the narrative. The characters, women who resemble Nancy Meyers herself, are successful and independent. Of course they would have fine furnishings – Meyers does herself. If this movie was made today – the walls would probably be painted white, not yellow. There would be very few pillows on the sofa, instead of the dozen there now. The rug would be seagrass, and there would be a more important coffee table. The lace curtains would be banned, the framed prints would have white mats, not dark ones, and the accessories would be larger and fewer. The Father of the Bride was released in 1991 – 18 years ago and it's amazing to see how much interior decoration has changed since then.
The wonderful white Colonial in the Father of the Bride series. With the picket fence and climbing ivy – how more American apple pie can you get? One criticism of Meyers is her films have all white casts with very few ethnic minorities showing up in her world.
Father of the Bride Part II revolves around the remodeling of the house with the addition of the baby nursery. The gorgeous nursery was revealed with much fanfare by Franck – the wedding planner turned interior designer played by Martin Short.
The remake of Disney's The Parent Trap featured two important houses – one for each twin. The California house was filmed at the Staglin Family Vineyard.
The Staglin Family Vineyards – here is how the living room looks furnished by the owners. Meyers replaced all the furniture, it appears, but the glorious and important painting – Fischmarkt. Painted by Thomas Schindler in Berlin, 1989, it depicts the "common man" in 1970s Europe. The poor worker is buying his dinner at a local fish market – just a few small sardines - yet he is surrounded by the much larger, whole fish. Art plays an important role in some of Meyers movies. In particular, the art used in SGG was an outstanding choice.
In the Parent Trap, this is the London townhouse where Annie's mother and Annie live. Meyers said that she wanted the background to play up Lindsey's coloring. In It's Complicated, she chose the cream and peach palette to make Streep's complexion glow. Matching paint colors to the owner's complexion is a good trick to use – I've done it a few times and it really is wonderful.
Meyers and Shyer coaching the young and innocent Lindsey Lohan in The Parent Trap – London location. This scene where Hallie tries to make the guards move didn't make it into the final cut.
Meyers on the set of the Something's Gotta Give – the master bedroom. This house is her Oscar winning performer – none before or since is as wonderful as this Southampton beach house!
The Holiday, her last movie, featured two houses. This one, Amanda Wood's L.A. house, was more cold feeling than most of Meyer's interiors. Or course – this matched the owner – Amanda had emotional issues.
Iris' Cotswold tiny cottage was the favorite – the living room filled with Robert Kime fabrics, suzanis, lanterns, tickings, bamboo, and all sorts of wonderful clutter – was cozy and charming. Everyone wanted to move in here!
The long awaited It's Complicated. Meyers takes a year off between movies, then spends two years making one. It's three years between her films – too long for interior design aficionados to wait!!!! Meyers says she removed the walls between the living room, dining room and kitchen to make it all one big space. Here – in a scene reminiscent of SGG, a lively meal is shared by friends. Meyers is a casual dresser – seen here in what seems like a uniform, a sweater and a scarf - her own interiors are as casual as her clothing.
In 2004, on the heels of the success of Something's Gotta Give, In Style Home magazine visited Nancy Meyers at home in the Pacific Palisades. At that time the house was five years old – its construction started during her marriage, but Meyers was single by the time it was completed. At first she wanted an East Coast shingle styled house, similar to the SGG version, but a trip to France changed all that, along with Cote Sud magazine. She attacked the design the same way she does movies – with great attention to detail and much research. In the end, the house's architecture was very French inspired, with a tiled roof, thick walls, stone fireplaces and floors, and beamed ceilings. She and James Radin, her interior designer, went back to France to shop for the furnishings. The interiors are more similar in decorating style to the Father of the Bride house than the SGG house. It's yellow walls and toile, while French inspired, actually lend an English vibe. There are similarities in rooms to different movies of hers: her kitchen is said to have been an inspiration to the famous SGG kitchen. And similarities exist between her real life study and Erica's workspace. Her sunroom shares elements of the Cotswold cottage from The Holiday. Meyers bought the house for her two girls, but she is now an empty nester. She claims no deep attachment to the house and instead is ready to pass it onto a younger family so they can raise their own children there. She is moving on. Armed with more notebooks of pictures and clippings, she is planning her new house and hopes to purchase some of the furnishings in the It's Complicated house for its interiors. I wonder if she will be changing from French to Belgian. Will life imitate art? After all, there is a distinct Belgian feel to the Santa Barbara house that Jane lives in.
Nancy Meyer's Personal House in the Pacific Palisades:
The living room in Nancy Meyers' Pacific Palisades house is casual – done in gold chenille with orange accents. The fireplace has a limestone mantel. This room reminds me of the living room in It's Complicated.
It's Complicated Living Room
The casual, cluttered and cozy living room in It's Complicated resembles Meyer's living room – though here the furniture is covered in white slipcovers. Where Meyer's living room has a French feel to it, this living room is more Belgian inspired. Despite these differences – it isn't hard to see that the same woman is behind both rooms. Both are "living rooms" but both seem more like casual family rooms. Meyers is definitely not one to live with fancy, "no touch" interiors.
Nancy Meyer's Office
Meyers' home office is off the living room and the octagonal library (not shown in the magazine.) The ceilings were copied from a house she saw in France and the wood desk in front of the windows is eerily similar to Keaton's writing area in Something's Gotta Give. The beautiful chintz covered chair and ottoman are English styled, giving Meyers a spot to nap while writing – something she likes to do. I love the wicker magazine holder and in-box on her desk. The brass lamp is great, as is the lantern. The ergonomically designed desk chair needs to go, though! Maybe she could slip cover it???? I have to say I am in love with that chair and that fabric! It reminds of the fabric used in the dining room of SGG.
Something's Gotta Give: Erica's workspace resembles Meyers workspace.
While both desks look antique, Erica's has turned wood legs and Meyers' desk legs are straight. Isn't this desk from the movie fabulous? Poor Erica – she looks so unhappy here!!!!
Something's Gotta Give – Erica Berry's work space
Erica, unlike Meyers, has a charming chair – an old fashioned office chair - probably from Pottery Barn. What a beautiful room, what a beautiful house! One day I would love to write a book about it and how it influenced houses across America!!!!
Nancy Meyer's Dining Room
The casually elegant dining room in Meyer's house is my favorite room. The chairs are covered in Bennison's toile in charcoal. The mirror is a reproduction - velvet framed – a copy of one Meyers found in France that couldn't be restored. The mirrored and crystal sconces are charming and the wonderful antique chandelier is perfectly reflected in the mirror. I'm not sure where that fireplace seen in the reflection is located – perhaps the octagonal library has a fireplace? I covet her blue opaline goblets! Of course some type of textured rug is used here – it looks like a sisal. The dining room really doesn't remind me of any of her movie houses. Though the SGG house has patterned covered chairs, the rooms are totally different.
The kitchen in Meyers house is said to have been the inspiration for the famous SGG kitchen. A major difference is the white marble used here versus the black slate used in the SGG house. Meyers says she loves kitchens – she wrote It's Complicated around a kitchen remodel after all! She spends a lot of her time here along with her two daughters - the younger one Hallie is pictured here. Though some of the cabinets have glass fronts like the SGG kitchen – I don't think the two are all that similar, do you?
Something's Gotta Give – the famous kitchen inspired by Nancy's own.
Similar in some elements, but mostly different. The black countertops make a big difference, as does the subway tile. Meyers' kitchen has the marble slab backsplash. The stainless hood is similar. Today – six years later – a more decorative wood or stucco hood might have been used in both kitchens. But one similarity is the second island with the wood countertop! Those are exactly the same in the real house and the movie house.
Nancy Meyers – The Sunporch:
Another wonderful room is upstairs - the sunporch, which Nancy reports is also a much used room. Again, this room has an English feel though the house was modeled after a French country home. The furniture is cushy down English styled upholstery. The ticking on the chair is wonderful – as is the antique drum doubling as a table. The walls are yellow, the curtains toile. The tufted ottoman doubling as a coffee table is very similar in size and function to the SGG living room coffee table. But – surprisingly, this room resembles The Holiday's Cotswold cottage the most.
A full view of the sunporch – from the magazine In Style Home – pardon the missing portion of the picture! I love this room!
The Holiday: The Cotswold cottage
In The Holiday's Cotswold cottage, there is the tufted ottoman and similar curtains to Meyers' own sunporch. And, the antique drum is a dead ringer for Meyers. Both rooms, though so different in their architecture, share many similar elements: tickings, patterned fabrics and rug, and a general cozy, cluttered feeling that is prevalent in both houses. I'd bet Nancy would love to have the Cotswold house for a second home. Like some of her movie houses, the exterior was built for the movie and the interiors were filmed on a sound stage.
In SGG, the tufted ottoman makes another appearance, although a throw covers much of this one. I love this shot from the movie!
Nancy Meyers' Master Bedroom:
Meyers' bedroom has white walls and light blue fabrics used throughout. This room is the most French in feel - the headboard is French, as are the yellow silk bergere and end table.
Two vintage styled armchairs in blue velvet sit in front of a fireplace - the curtains are cream with a blue vine running through them. The bedroom was inspired by London's Dorchester hotel. Not sure if their furniture is French too? The blue bedroom doesn't resemble any of her movie bedrooms that I know of. None come close. But the blue and white decor theme is found in the SGG house – it's famous living room is a vision in the same colors!
Hallie's bedroom is a typical teenager's room – with a canopy bed, white linens and a red toile chair. Her father, Charles gifted her the poster of her favorite movie, Audrey Hepburn's Funny Face.
The teenaged daughter's bedroom in It's Complicated.
This bedroom is much different from Hallie's– colorful and textural, there is no really no similarity between these two rooms. Nor does Hallie's bedroom resemble the twin's bedrooms in The Parent Trap, either.
Now 21 and living in New York, she is collaborating with her father Charles Shyer on scripts. She is going into the family business she quips. A bit of trivia – Hallie's older sister is named Annie. The twins played by Lindsey Lohan in The Parent Trap were also named Hallie and Annie! And both the real Hallie and Annie had bit parts in the movie as girls at summer camp.
Nancy Meyers back porch.
The porch leading off Nancy's office is French inspired with its wicker furniture, French doors, and lanterns. In the doorway, you can see into the office, with its chair and ottoman and lantern above. The house is painted yellow, with blue shutters in true French Provence fashion. Similarly, the movie It's Complicated has several outdoor locations similar to this:
It's Complicated: The Porch.
It's hard to believe the It's Complicated house was actually built in New York for the movie – though it's supposed to be in Santa Barbara! Here the porch is not French like Nancy Meyer's house, but the outdoor space has a similar feel. Wicker and lanterns are similar elements.
Another sneak peek at It's Complicated. This porch looks into the living room and the brick is painted red here, not white – I wonder why?
It's Complicated.
I can't wait to see the movie!!! What a charming work space!!
Here you can see the red tiled roof of the Santa Barbara house from It's Complicated. Meryl Streep's character owns a bakery and apparently she is a avid gardener too, judging from the pictures.
The Master Bedroom from It's Complicated. It's nothing like the light blue master bedroom Nancy Meyers sleeps in at night.
A very special thank you to a Cote de Texas reader who graciously mailed me the pages from In Style Home of Nancy Meyers' house. It is so interesting to compare her private house to her movie houses. I definitely see a commonality between the interior designs – mostly casual, cluttered, warm and cozy, lots of wicker and linen, slips and sisal, the houses are all welcoming and inviting – spaces you would love to spend time in. It will be fascinating to see what her new house will look like – will she go Belgian like the It's Complicated house, or will she go East Coast like the SGG house? Perhaps she'll go Colonial like the Father of the Bride house.
And while anxiously awaiting Christmas day to hopefully sneak off and go see It's Complicated - I remember well Christmas night of 2003. I received a call from a client – she was hyperventilating. She had just left the theatre after seeing Something's Gotta Give: "That's what I want my house to look like, exactly that!! The dining room, the living room – that's what I want. OMG, you HAVE to go see that movie asap." A few days later, I dragged Elisabeth with me to go see it – though on reflection, she clearly was not old enough for the subject matter. Of course I had the same reaction to the movie that most who saw it did. I'm hoping it's repeated again with the It's Complicated house, but I'm not convinced. The SGG house was special, so very special – even the two The Holiday houses couldn't touch it. I don't have high hopes that the It's Complicated house will knock SGG off its throne – but who cares? The movie itself looks fabulous.
Here's wishing everyone out there (not sure anyone is reading blogs though!) a very Merry Christmas!!! Be safe, no drunk driving please, and stay warm!!! It's going to be freezing here in Texas so that means it's probably freezing where you are too!!!!

Annual cicadas expected, however
To see an incredible amount of cicadas being amorous, you�re going to have to go to Greensboro.
The Piedmont Triad area is the southern terminus for the magicicada line known as Brood II. The insects emerge after 17 years in the ground, molt their hard exoskeleton and engage in one of the world�s largest insect singles� parties. The red-eyed, green-bodied, winged creatures go as far north as Connecticut, with large numbers typically seen around Northern Virginia and around New York City.
According to Internet hub magicicada.com, reports of the latest outbreak have been seen as far east as Cary. Cicadas will still emerge around Lenoir County, but they�re the more-common �annual� variety that live two or three years, instead of the swarms that emerge after 13 or 17 years.
�We definitely have cicadas in this part of the state, but no particularly impactful ones for us,� said Nicole Sanchez of the Lenoir County Cooperative Extension Service.
In essence, what you have is what you get, when it comes to the insects. They�re not known for being migratory, usually staying in the same general area.
�The adults come out � they breed pretty close to where they emerge, because they do feed underground on the roots of their hosts in their nest,� said Kelly Oten, forest health specialist with the N.C. Forest Service. �So, when they emerge the host is right there � they don�t really have to travel far to find a host.�
As far as environmental impact, there�s not much of one.
�They do so little damage, I think it�s more about the noise aggravation,� Sanchez said. �They don�t get into people�s homes, they don�t bite, they don�t sting, they don�t carry disease. It�s just about the noise.�
N.C. Forestry Service Forest Health Protection Head Robert Trickel said he was in Northern Virginia during a major outbreak, and the cicadas were hard to ignore.
�It was noisy,� Trickel said. �The radio stations, even, when they gave the pollen count and all that stuff, they gave the decibel reading for the things. It was just noisy everywhere you went. You could hear them with the windows closed in the car.�
The main impact cicadas have is being a high-protein food source for birds, and once their bodies fall into water, for fish. Annual cicadas already have a lower population presence, but among periodical cicadas like Brood II, the massive numbers emerging from the ground ensures there�s more supply than demand.
And they are edible for people. Former ECU professor Hal Daniel received a lot of attention several years ago promoting cicadas in meals, including a spicy cicada stir-fry.

HAMPTON — As the first hurricane of the season swept up the coast Thursday, many residents on the Peninsula went about their normal summer activities.
While Hurricane Arthur is one of the earliest hurricanes to emerge in recent years, residents seemed unfazed by the threat, with only 1 to 3 inches of rainfall and winds of less than 30 mph forecast for the area.
There were no traces of residents boarding up homes near Buckroe Beach Thursday evening. Instead, children were building sandcastles and doing cartwheels as the wind gently blew. Several people were fishing on the beach's pier. Ronald Gillespie, of Newport News, was sitting on the boardwalk in a lawn chair watching the Chesapeake Bay.
"The hurricane is gonna hit on the Outer Banks," Gillespie said. "I'm sitting here and I don't see no rainstorm, no nothing and I'm cool with that. … I don't feel it in the air."
Hurricane Arthur is occurring a week earlier than the 43-year-average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Hurricane season officially started June 1. NOAA has forecast slightly fewer storms and hurricanes than normal this year: eight to 13 named storms, three to six of which will build into hurricanes, including one or two major ones.
Brandon and Meghan Adams, of Newport News, were fishing along the Buckroe Beach pier with their 6-month-old son. They were not surprised a hurricane has emerged so early in the season.
"After such a cold winter we thought maybe it would be a hot summer, and it seems like the storms did start earlier than usual. … It warmed up and I just assumed storms weren't far behind," Brandon Adams said.
Kermit Golden, of Hampton, was fishing with his son on the pier at Buckroe. Golden said he thought a hurricane this soon in the season could mean there will be more than in recent years.
"It's going to be some more — it's just, is it going to hit us or not?" Golden said.
On the transportation front, Ron Watrous, a Virginia Department of Transportation spokesman, said crews were inspecting and cleaning storm water drain systems as early as Monday, and testing the tide and hurricane gates. VDOT also positioned response gear, equipment and generators and ensured that it has fuel and tree removal services on alert throughout the Hampton Roads District.
VDOT has also deployed additional emergency supplies — chain saws, water pumps, signs and other response gear — to remote locations for access, Watrous said. VDOT had previously suspended road and bridge construction projects for the holiday weekend, beginning Thursday, to ensure lanes are open and motorists do not encounter project-related delays, detours or congestion.
By Thursday afternoon there were only a handful of owners who docked their boats at Bluewater Yachting Center in Hampton ahead of Hurricane Arthur. Five boats were docked specifically because of the hurricane threat, all moved from Rudee Inlet in Virginia Beach, said Earle Hall, vice president of Bluewater.
"Tidewater is hanging their hat on this forecast," Hall said. "I tell you, if that thing doesn't go the way they say it's gonna go, we're all gonna be pretty embarrassed. Normally we would be working around the clock here."
Hall said most boaters elected to stay in the water. At Bluewater, the vessels are parked on land when severe weather is expected. On Thursday, the boats were simply docked.
"We have faith in their forecast, and they're calling for 1 to 3 feet above normal high tide, and we can handle 1 to 3 feet with no problem," Hall said.
Staff Writers Cathy Grimes and Tamara Dietrich contributed to this report. Speed can be reached by phone 757-247-4778.

Skyguard and Spada are only good for short range...hardly medium.
The rumoured Chinese SAM system is said to be HQ-9 family's FT-2000...an anti-radiation SAM...approx. range is around 200 km...almost all the details are hidden.
Yup that is the truth on this matter. I don't believe Pakistan Military has placed any meaningful importance to SAMs. There is an absence of layered SAM network which spreads through all altitudes and ranges. There is a serious doubt over the technical ability of Air Defense radars when it comes to intercepting Ballistic Missiles, Cruise Missiles and Low-Observable UAVs.

Technology levels playing field
Staff writer
If schools substituted iPads or mini-iPads for textbooks, all students would have access to the same amount of information regardless of economic status.
That was the message keynote speaker Corrine Hoisington conveyed to 340 educators who gathered at Hillsboro High School Monday for the 2013 Technology Excellence in Education Network conference.
She said purchasing iPads or mini-iPads for students would cost one-half to one-third the cost of purchasing textbooks and would provide equal educational opportunities for all.
"Computers are old school," she said. "BYOD, bring your own device, is becoming the new code word," she said.
Google Microsoft glasses are the latest innovation being developed. The special glasses provide access to thousands of apps on the right-hand corner of one lens.
The emphasis in education will be on learning through projects and modeling technologies for each subject matter.
For example, Hoisington suggested that teachers could use new websites to help students create movies relative to the subject matter at hand.
"This helps students take pride in their work," she said.
New computers are touch-based, and more than 30,000 technology apps are available to educators.
With multiple mobile devices available, it is much easier to connect than in the past, Hoisington said. Students need motivation to use the technology.
"This is the world your students will be growing up in," she said. "Are you preparing them for it?"
The educators participated in numerous workshops that were available in three sessions throughout the day, led by 22 local presenters and a few others. Some of the topics explored were the Cloud drive, differentiated instruction, flipping, SMART technologies, and using the iPad and other electronic devices in the classroom.
Charlene Metcalf, a special education teacher at Marion Middle School, said she learned some new strategies to challenge students to think. She also learned about some new websites.
"It's good to talk to others who work in the same area," she said. "Sometimes we get bogged down, and it's good to learn other ways to share."
Kyvie Lahman of Dodge City is a junior at Tabor College. She attended the conference as part of her Introduction to Education class. She said her favorite session was the one about 21st Century Schools. She said students have access to technology; they just need to learn how to put it to practical use.
Angela Basore, a junior high math teacher from Centre, said she benefited from a session on incorporating visual, video, and bodily action to promote long-term memory.
Lenna Knoll, a third-grade teacher at Hillsboro, summed up the day this way: "You pick out one or two things you can use in your classroom."
TEEN director Brandi Hendrix said she was pleased with the conference.
"Everything went smoothly," she said.

Mexico releases Marine veteran
BROWNSVILLE — Cloaked by nightfall and escorted by U.S. consular officials, Jon Hammar at long last Friday crossed an international bridge to Brownsville.
After a harrowing 41/2 months in a Mexican prison, the U.S. Marine veteran then joined his father for a quiet drive back to their Miami home.
"He's already gone, driving carefully with his dad, enjoying relaxation finally," his attorney, Eddie Varon Levy, told media members who'd followed the U.S.-side entourage from bridge to bridge in hopes of capturing the reunion.
"What happened was ... Jon wasn't in a condition to be taking pictures," Varon Levy said.
Hammar, 27, was arrested Aug. 15, immediately after crossing into Matamoros. The plan was to reach the surfing beaches of Costa Rica via land, and he traveled with a fellow war veteran in an old Winnebago packed with surf boards.
An old shotgun that he thought would come in handy for hunting, a relic that had belonged to his great-granddad, measured too short in the barrel to meet Mexican regulations for crossing.
While Hammar thought he'd properly registered the gun, Mexican officials said he hadn't.
Hammar's family members kept the story to themselves for months, keeping contact only with Varon Levy and U.S. consular officials in Matamoros.
After a threatening call from gang members in the prison, the officials had him moved from general population, his parents said. He was placed in a small storage area, where guards at times chained him to a bed.
In November, Hammar was brought to court and pressured to enter a guilty plea, prompting the family members break their silence.
Gerardo Acevedo Danache, vice president of international affairs for the Chambers of Commerce for both Matamoros and the state of Tamaulipas, said the public outcry to the story was heard on both sides of the border.
The chambers, representing some 40,000 businessmen, urged Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to consider the message the jailing was sending to potential tourists and pardon Hammar.
In the United States, members of Congress were urging action. The story gained increasing attention in Mexico, where, Acevedo said, the public widely felt the treatment to be unfair.
In the end, Acevedo said, a judge in Matamoros agreed to dismiss the charges.
"It was all the pressure," he said.
He said the situation begged both an investigation into Hammar's treatment and a reconsideration of how the country advises foreigners on gun regulations.
Signs at the border say firearms are prohibited, but hunting in Mexico is legal.
"Jon is a victim of miscommunication and misunderstanding," Acevedo said. "We need to avoid that situation in the future."
It was a long day for Jon Hammar Sr., who learned of the pending release Thursday night and took a morning flight to South Texas.
By 1 p.m., he was waiting in a parking lot across from the B&M International Bridge, the bridge his son had crossed months before.
He watched for hours as official-looking cars emerged from the U.S. Customs lot without being "the one," but never lost his optimistic glow.
"I'm not leaving," the elder Hammar said in the fifth hour of waiting. "It's all Mexican paperwork. I fully expect him to show up soon."
He said he'd opted to drive to save his son from airport crowds and hassle. He rented a pickup, in case they were able to bring his son's surf boards home. Surfing was part of the young Marine's therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder.
The only real deadline was to be home by Christmas, where his wife and daughter waited.
"There's nothing under the tree," Hammar Sr. said. "We didn't do any of that shopping nonsense. But I'll be able to say, 'Look what I've got.'"
