Vision of Love Tea-length Invitations These invitations turned out lovely and were just what we wanted. It was great being able to customize the font and colors of this invitation. Overall, a great value and it was wonderful that they included extra invitations.
Vision of Love Tea-length Invitations Magnet Street has been an overall great choice for my wedding stationary. I had bought our magnet save the dates which arrived fast and on time, coloring was a little off compared to the proof given. But overall I was very happy with how it turned out and received many compliments. I recently ordered the 'Vision of Love' invitations, place cards, and RSVP cards. They turned out wonderful and it was the exact same as the proof given. The only issues I had was the shipping company showing my order was coming in two packages but in actuality only one was necessary. Overall I am a very happy customer and bride :)

About MinnCentric
If you are anything like me, you like to wear clothes. Well, most of the time anyway. That's the abridged version as to why we started MinnCentric apparel. The longer, more drawn out version involves grousing about prices of t-shirts. Like the majority of awesome ideas, this one also started at a bar. My business partner, Jim Martin, and I were doing 12 ounce arm curls in sets of ten at a local watering hole. He had just completed some shopping at the mall for his wife, purchasing two t-shirts at a chain store that put a sizeable gouge in his wallet.
Jim: Man, I just spent $80 on two t-shirts at a store in the mall that is known for selling bras with angel wings on them! (Drinks beer.)
Me: That's the worst thing I have ever heard of. (Drinks beer.) Ever. (Drinks beer.)
Jim: Right? (Drinks beer.)
Me: (Drinks beer.)
Jim: We should get into that racket. (Drinks beer.)
After several more cold ones, we jotted down a general outline of what we would want in sports-themed shirts. We wanted to offer unique designs that were not being represented on the market. We wanted fans to have more creative options to support one of their favorite players without having to resort to a 'shirsey'. We wanted our shirts to be of a higher quality. Most of all, we wanted to be able to price them for $20 or less.
We called the concept "sports bar casual" apparel – the idea that you could wear these shirts to any sports bar or game and not only be comfy as hell, but that it would be a conversation starter as people at the bars or games would see you in your shirt and immediately ask where you got it.
Now, with the proper amount of alcohol lubricant in us to kick-start the creativity, we started to brainstorm some taglines. After several aborted attempts (ex. "Delmon Young is Super Good in the Outfield"), Jim came up with our initial line: Thome Is My Homey.
While we loved the idea and the design, we had to ask ourselves, how would we create a market for these shirts?
I had been blogging about the Minnesota Twins on both my personal blog, Over the Baggy, and more recently with the Star Tribune's TwinsCentric group so I was confident it would be easy to reach the die-hard fans, however I wasn't so sure we could wrangle in the casual fans. When the Thome shirts arrived back from the printers, we handed out a few to friends and family, encouraging them to wear the shirts to the Twins games (remember, this was 2010 and people were clawing other people to get into Target Field) and tell folks who asked where to find them.
It was at the next home game that wound up having the most genius guerrilla marketing strategy that was completely unplanned.
It started off with Jim's wife, Jessica, having her family's seats which were right behind the visiting dugout and positioned so that if there were any side shots of a right-handed batter, Jessica – and her t-shirt – would be prominently featured in the shot:
Jessica, a marketer herself by trade, scribbled down an ad hoc sign which had our website and would occasionally flash that to the camera. Even before the game ended, orders started to pour in.
While Jessica attacked the cameras during the game, my cousin Will – whose sister Heidi did the graphic design for several of our shirts – unbeknownst to us at the time, went guerrilla on the post-game show. The Fox Sports North post-game broadcasts at Target Field, typically featuring Anthony Lapanta and former Twin Tim Laudner, are live and show a crowd shot of fans on the Plaza. My ingenious cousin grabbed his shirt, stood in the middle behind Lapanta and Laudner and held it up so it was well displayed:
When the game ended, the orders continued to pour in, along with several emails lauding us for our brilliant marketing strategy in addition to a mention of it on KFAN's Dan Barriero Show the next day. We knew then that the shirts were going to be a hit.
And thanks to the ever-increasing social world we live in, we have been able to interact with fans through our Facebook page and Twitter, getting input from potential customers on our prototype designs. We encourage the dialogue because, after all, these shirts are for the fans, not for us. In exchange for the participation, we like to giveaway shirts as a show of our gratitude. (If you are not following us now, I highly recommend you start doing so.)
Since that time in 2010, the Thome Is My Homey begat Cuddy Is My Buddy which lead to Punto Plays Dirty and I Love Koobs and so on and so on and so on. Since that first model of shirt, we have improved the quality of our offerings, switching to a ridiculously comfortable triblend fabric, and have expanded into some nostalgic moments (i.e. Game Six and The Killer shirts) as well as dabbling into football (Sunday Funday) and soon hockey (St Paul Fight Club).
We still stick to our original mission that was written down on the beer-soaked cocktail napkin almost three years ago now. We will continue to pump out creative designs and keep them from ever encroaching on the $40 mark. Your money is meant for beer, not for overpriced tee shirts.
Feel free to contact us with your thoughts, ideas or concerns!
All the best,
Parker & Jim

I honestly have felt the entire time that they just didn't want to admit that Firelands wasn't ready yet and really should not have used the whole 'faster patches' term. Even IF this weeks patch is a Release candidate we still won't see 4.1 till the 18th at the earliest as Release candidates usually are up for 2 weeks. By the time 4.1 comes out they could have easily tested Firelands and got it out if it was actually ready.

I had zoom Whitening yesterday. My teeth were becoming yellowish and I felt the need to whiten them a little.
The procedure was very smooth and I didn't feel pain and felt minor sensitivity at the end of the 3rd fifteen minute session thank God since I was worried after reading complaints of pain. I had three sessions of fifteen minutes and my teeth look much better. I had a tooth that was stained for along time and is now clean and white. 24 Hours after procedure I'd only two minor zings in one sensitive tooth but nothing major.

I wouldn't think that toothpaste would necesarilly be linked to cutting sensitivity, maybe you are just one of the fortunate ones. That, and the team at your dentists office must have done a good job making sure all your tissue was covered & protected! :)

That is great that you had such minimal sensitivity, but still good results!
Did you do anything before the appointment to prep your teeth that may have helped cut down on the sensitivity, like using sensodyne or a fluoride rinse?

You can definitely tell a business and their social engagement smarts when you see how they react in a crisis. Whether typical, every day crisis management skills or approaching something they could never have planned for. If they know what they're doing, they can come out on top.
I was reminded of this while watching a re-run of 60 Minutes this weekend. The one with the interview of Drew Rosenhaus, the most hated man in football… according to his competition anyway. He's very good at what he does, the agent of nearly 200 NFL football players and managing their every day crises to maintain their image, lifestyle, and football career. He's so good that, of course, they made a movie of him: Jerry Maguire. You know, the one with Tom Cruise. SHOW ME THE MONEY!! Yeah, that one.
On this week's Triple S, I thought I'd share what he taught me about crisis management through social media:
"I embrace that calamity. I'm comfortable in that chaos." Drew says in his interview.
This perspective is so valuable as a business. If you think about the possible situations your business can possibly find itself in and prepare the necessary steps to properly represent your brand before it even happens, you're very likely to come out on top and seen as a company that's responsive and on top of their game.
At the Social Media Club meeting today, the running theme was to be prepared for the crisis you can expect. Even if what occurs could never have been planned for, your crisis management plan will have you light years ahead in preparation because you've already got an idea of how you want your brand to respond in high pressure situation and what your priorities should be throughout.

Lonely at CPAC? There's a booth for that.
For the first time this year, RedStateDate.com is offering a deal to CPAC attendees to join their premium service at a 15 percent discount with the code "CPAC."
The dating site, which launched along with counterpart BlueStateDate.com in October 2012, matches users on a three-part questionnaire based solely on political views (overall, economics and social). It also offers a daily straw poll and forums for discussing the news. It's free to create a profile and browse photos.
The site -- tagline "Find your running-mate" -- is particularly popular in the D.C. area, which accounts for 15 to 20 percent of the user base, according to CEO Alexander Fondrier. The conservative version of the site is far more active than the Blue State version, with about 5,000 users compared with 1,000.
Fondrier said the site idea dates back to his college days when he struggled to find someone with a similar "passion for politics."
"Online dating is so big, there's like a site for everything out there. What about for politics?" he said. "More and more studies are coming out showing that in terms of criteria of what people are seeking in a significant other, politics is right up there with religion."

Advice on Turning Technique, Sharing Shop Orders
Issue 233
Posted Date:
How Do You Undercut a Rim?
Sawmill Creek
This discussion began with a post from a woodworker who was looking to expand his turning skills, and asked his online friends for advice. - Editor
"As I strive to learn to turn bowls, the next thing I would like to try is bowls where the hollow inside is a little larger than the rim. Where do I start my homework? What tools should I start shopping? Would finer, closed grain wood better cooperate? I don't know what I should do, nor how I should do it. Any insight appreciated!" – Walt
Some respondents took this opportunity to talk turning tools.
"I have actually been able to turn a couple of pretty undercut rims simply by using a 1" round scraper. You are limited by the diameter of the hole (opening), and just have to bring the tool in from the backside of the lathe." – Chris
"I've made a couple of forms with undercut rims, and have had good luck using a Sorby HollowMaster. It is the best tool I have for this particular job."- Mike
"I have used a freshly sharpened gouge, with flute well heeled over toward the horizontal, and the handle well toward the back side of the lathe. Seemed to work for me." - Curtis
"I'd also recommend the Sorby Hollowmaster. It makes undercutting bowl rims a breeze and will let you get into hollowing for not a lot of money. It's what I still use for my hollow forms." – Cody
The original poster also received insight on the woods he should be using in general.
"If you are using oak, stop doing that (at least for now). Oak is not a very good turning wood and not a good thing to develop skills with. If you can get green wood, that is better for experimenting on as well."- Ryan
And specific to a certain technique.
"I use conventionally ground bowl gouges for it, and it is difficult to get a good clean cut, very often have to do quite a bit of sanding to clean the cut up. Scrapers just don't work unless you have some real dense closed grain wood; [they] will tear the wood worse than a cutting tool does." – Leo
Speaking of techniques, other woodworkers had suggestions in that area as well.
"Lay the gouge on its side so that the wings are pointing in the direction of the wood to cut and hold the handle at an angle. You might find it easier to stand on the other side of the lathe to do it."- Curtis
"I do a lot of my undercut rims with the lathe in reverse and using a 1.2 HD scraper. This direction allows me to stand on the correct side of the lathe and comfortably come into the underside of the rim. Sometimes if the hole is large enough, I have the rest actually in the bowl, for more support. My 1/2 HD scraper is used a lot, and I recommend getting one." – Scott
The forum's moderator summed up the discussion of all the options nicely.
"As you probably have guessed by now - there are lots of ways to tackle that particular problem. Some tools work, some tools work better than others, and most all of it relies heavily on experience." - Steve
How Do I Find Hungry-for-Work Shops?
You would think this woodworker's problem would be a good one to have: he has so many orders for his projects for hire that he can't find time to do woodworking for fun, so he's trying to share the wealth with other small woodworking shops. The following is his original post. – Editor
"I haven't had much time for fun woodworking because I'm too busy making energy education props for my customers. So, towards a goal of more woodturning and puttering in the shop, I want to shed some workload to others. But what's the best way to find a good small production shop? I could walk through the yellow pages and talk to the bigger cabinet shops, but I suspect the ideal candidate is probably not listed in the yellow pages. The local woodworking club is mostly hobbyists or retirees that just want to putter around building the occasional project.
I thought I might try the local lumber yards or a couple of the independent tool stores. I've been networking but with little results. Any suggestions?"-Dale
Some of the suggestions he received focused on limiting the incoming orders, rather than spreading the work around.
"Set yourself work-time limits and raise your prices. The rest will sort itself out." – Jason
"Why not tell the customer that you aren't interested in a particular project and just be done with it? Not every customer is worth having." – Steve
While others pointed him in a few new directions.
"Some ideas: Attend a local woodworkers group and ask them-I know you tried this, but try again. Are there any woodworking programs nearby? They might have some recent grads who are looking for work. Try the various forums on the Net. I'm surprised that the local wood dealers and independent tool guys couldn't help; they are usually pretty up on stuff. If it was a do-it-all lumberyard, try the places that just sell hardwoods and high-end ply. Check the
Furniture Society's site
and see if there is anybody nearby on their members' roster and see if they know anybody." – Tom
Perhaps not entirely surprisingly, though, this discussion veered into a discussion of the current economy and its impact on woodworkers. Some were feeling frustrated with the rates they were able to find for their work.
"It seems like everyone is looking for someone that's desperate for work so they can pay them a poverty wage. I was just in a cabinet shop that also produces a very high-end board game a couple of weeks ago, and he wanted to start me out at $9 an hour with no mention of bennies. No thanks. That's the whole problem with woodworking, everyone cuts each other's throats, and customers DEMAND cheap. It's not very rewarding. Been there, done that, don't care to ever do it again. A job at McDonalds would make more sense."- Chuck
While others took the "any job is a good job" attitude.
"There are a large number of highly skilled middle and upper managers who are mopping floors and flipping burgers right now. Bunch of people are doing whatever they need to for their families in this tough period. Experience is great, but it's worthless if there's no 'market' for it.-" Mark
And then there was the "it is what it is" philosophy.
"The going wage is what it is, and it is that due to the number of people able and willing to survive on it. Many people make more in small high-end shops - once they've worked there a while. Many people make a lot more doing other work that they might not enjoy as much as woodworking. I know only a few who are really content with either situation." – John
Turning the economic lens from the work to the business, some other posters discussed the importance of maintaining a customer base.
"Sounds to me like he's just trying to take care of his customers. He can choose the jobs he wants, and steer the other ones to someone else rather than just leaving the customer hanging. Sounds like a smart businessman to me. More people in the service industries need to have that same attitude nowadays."- John E
"Paying customers, especially now, but also in the future, are hard to come by. Better to sub out excess work if the quality can be maintained, and keep the customer for future jobs." – Mark
The original poster concluded the discussion with a few specifics of his situation.
"I've been building these products for several years, slow but steady. I make three products for energy education. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has put $5 billion towards energy efficiency, weatherization, energy education and the like. Suddenly, everyone wants curriculum and my products. I could triple my prices, they'd still order them, but that's gouging. Why not share some of my workload with underemployed talent?
"I can pay a good living wage for someone to make these products for me which frees me to design and develop more products for this niche market, thus doing my part to put folks to work. I was not looking to do business with a busy shop, but to give work to someone who qualifies but doesn't have much work. I might have found someone at the farmer's market. Thanks for the spirited responses." - Dale

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"We were looking for a lavender as the primary color for our invitation and when we saw this one with the green accents (our secondary color), we instictavely knew it would be the right one for us! We were thrilled when we saw the sample and ordered them that day. The paper has a wonderful texture and weight. The ink color is not quite as lavender in person as it looks on the computer, but is still a very pretty color. AND we got the invitations over a week early...great service! Thank you for making this part of our wedding so easy."
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"The cards were absolutely gorgeous! My fiancée & I are having a fall wedding in a garden & this added just the right element I was looking for in my invitations."
"We love our invitations. When got to choose so many details on the invitation for our small mountain wedding. Even after we ordered, we were sent a few different prototypes to choose from based on a review from Wedding Paper Divas. We chose the blue invitations with brown font and brown in the aspen trees. We changed the font to a more whimsical one as well. When we received them, we loved them. I can't wait to send them to our guests. My only complaint was that we paid for expedited shipping but did not receive them during the timeline posted."

I'm not going to pretend it hasn't been two months since I wrote the news last. I am going to pretend that you've been very upset about it though and sent me dozens upon dozens of emails asking me why I've abandoned you. I am however going to pretend that there's some kid sitting in his bedroom right now reading this, crying his eyes out because the head cheerleader doesn't even know he exists, thinking that maybe things will be OK after all because Joe is writing the news again.
I love TV shows with a solid will they/won't they theme, even when it's based around a mother and son relationship like "Bates Motel". What can I say I'm a sucker for love. So I'm giddy with delight to find new info on the second season of the show which hits A&E on March 3rd. I mean as giddy as you can get when you realize the plot for season two is really just a continuation of season one, Norman continues to lose his crap, his mother tries to cover up some murder type things, a cop starts to catch on and blah blah blah the brother sells drugs or something. You've missed this kind of hot late breaking news haven't you?
I could have sworn Kevin Smith retired 12 years ago but he keeps putting crap out so I'm assuming it's like a Jay-Z type retirement where you announce it to get some attention and then just keep on doing the same crap you've always done. Case in point. "Comes the Krampus!", a new holiday anthology flick he just finished the screenplay for that focuses on everyone's favorite Scandinavian Christmas time monster that eats kids instead of bringing them presents. No real word on next steps for the project but it's planned for a holiday release sometime in the next 10 years.
"Terminator: Genesis", the upcoming "The Terminator" reboot, has apparently lost itself a financial backer. Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures has apparently decided to back out of the project leaving Skydance Productions, which happens to be her brother's production company, to cover the tab. So this really means nothing at all to you and I. The movie is still being made, Arnold Schwarzenegger is still coming back and we're still over a year away from its release. Seriously, how did you survive without this kind of daily coverage to fill your life for the past two months?
ABC has green lit the pilot for "The Visitors", a new series based on a Ray Bradbury short story titled "Zero Hour". In the story the fine people of earth try to fend off an alien attack where the little green men use our own children against us. Seems completely plausible. The other day my 2 year old hit me in the crotch with a Doc McStuffins doll so hard I blacked out for 15 seconds. I can only assume she was being controlled by aliens.
How many times have we heard this story my friends? A woman accused another woman of hitting her with a hog stomach and someone ends up getting stabbed in the beck with a pair of scissors. Once, I can really only thing of one time I've heard this story. That one time is just a few seconds ago to be clear.
Let this be a lesson to all the young men out there. When making love to your best gal on the school bus, if she happens to queef during said love making on the school bus do not laugh at her. Because she will elbow you in the balls and you will get in trouble and you will end up on the news. This has been your daily romance advice from Joe. On a side note spell check has no idea what a "queef" is.
Three new characters have been confirmed for the second season of A&E's "Bates Motel". It looks like Norma is going to get a new boyfriend, a new friend in town and a brother who shows up in town. Chances are they'll all be dead before the end of the season but for now let's just sit back and drink in all the love I feel flowing in this post. God that feels good inside you doesn't it?
Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the guys who wrote the "Friday the 13th" remake have apparently gotten in bed with the folks at New Line for a new horror flick that they are apparently calling a "potential franchise starter". No other details are available but they've also said the film won't be found footage and won't be micro-budget. They didn't say it won't be awful though. So ya know, that's still on the table.
Elijah Wood is producing a horror-comedy film called "Cooties". Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack MacBrayer, Jorge Garcia and Nasim Pedrad have all been added to the movie about a group of rabid kids who terrorize their teachers. I assume all of these people will be teachers, or this will be the worst "teen" casting since "Scream 4".
Paul Reiser, the poor man's Richard Lewis, has been added to the cast of "Life After Beth". John C. Reilly and Aubrey Plaza are also in the film about a man who tries to reconnect with his girlfriend after she comes back from the dead. No joke here. Paul Reiser is awful at everything he does and must be stopped. If you say "Mad About You" was great I will slap the taste out of your mouth. If you say you don't know what "Mad About You" is I will slap the taste out of your mouth.
I had no idea there was a thing called "the third rail" on the NYC subway system rails. I wish someone had warned me though, because this guy in Brooklyn died after being electrocuted when he pissed on it. I rode the subway for 13 years. I'm lucky to be alive.
An Oklahoma man is under arrest after a woman caught him looking into her house while he was hiding in her septic tank. How does that even work? I always thought those were underground. I need some sort of diagram to even understand how this happened.
My wife and I will be taking our first trip to Nashville this coming weekend and I can't wait. I'm going to look FABULOUS in my cut off daisy dukes.
If you didn't watch "Bates Motel" then I'm not really sure we'll have much to talk about when things get into a lull and I say, "hey did you hear about how the second season of 'Bates Motel' is going to feature a few more members of the Bates family according to the show's creator Carlton Cuse?". Then I'll probably get kind of pissy and say something about you looking fat and then we won't talk for a while. See how just watching the show could have avoided this whole thing?
We all went a little gaga over the "Evil Dead" remake on the podcast so I'm kind of looking forward to the Blu-Ray dropping so I can relive all the memories at home, minus the 8 year old crying 4 rows behind me. The disc will drop on July 16th and be chock full of behind the scenes features and a commentary track with everyone and their mother on it. It will not unfortunately feature a commentary track by the god awful parents trying to quiet the earlier mentioned 8 year old.
I never thought Steven Spielberg and the "Leprechaun" remake would be mentioned in the same sentence but color me wrong here. It turns out that Zach Lipovsky, the winner of Spielberg and Mark Burnett's "On the Lot" reality show will direct the Lionsgate/WWE reboot. I guess that doesn't really mean Speielberg has anything to do with the film so I can see why you might be annoyed by my misleading intro there. But on the other hand, you're a prick.
Melissa Leo, who is in no way related to Jay Leno and now that I see this typed out doesn't even have the same last name, has signed on to M. Night Shyamalan's "Wayward Pines". The TV series stars Matt Dillon as a secret service agent investigating the disappearance of two federal agents. Leo will play a nurse who lives in the town of Wayward Pines where Dillon is investigating. She doesn't even have a giant chin. I don't know what I was thinking.
California... wife... argument... bite... husband... penis.
A 45 year old special education teacher from Maryland has been accused of having sex with her dog. She's been accused because police found video and photos of her having sex with the dog. I'm 99% sure we can just go ahead and say she did it.
If you haven't caught VH1's "Wicked Single" I suggest you do yourself a favor and set aside this weekend to catch up on the first few episodes. It's like "The Jersey Shore" but a little drunker and way more ridiculous accents. I didn't know I could be this happy. I could hug every single one of you.
It looks like "Bates Motel" will continue to take reservations now that the show has been picked up for a second season by the folks at A&E. Season 2 won't hit the small tube until sometime in 2014 so enjoy what's left of season 1 while you can. This might be the most competent news item I've ever written.
Sad news indeed folks.Richard Brooker, best know for playing the role of Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th Part 3", passed away on Tuesday at the age of 58. Brooker was the first Jason to don the classic hockey mask and appeared in a number of documentaries over the years chronicling his time as the masked one.
So apparently if you sat through the end credits of the "Evil Dead" remake, which I didn't, you got to see some cool crap that I wont spoil here. But apparently there was plans for some even cooler crap to happen, which I will 100% try not to spoil right now. So I'm not saying someone survives all the demon happenings. But if someone did that someone might have gotten picked up by some folks driving down the road she was wondering down. She or he might have then passed out in the back seat and then possibly woken up as a deadite. That is if someone did make it through the night. I can neither deny nor confirm.
"Dracula Year Zero" is still apparently a movie. I know I'm just as surprised as you are. The latest on the film is that it's title is now simply "Dracula" and Luke Evans has been confirmed to play the lead in the film about the first vampire. Not going to lie, I feel like at this point in time if you name your film "Dracula" you're just asking to be lost in some sort of long IMDB search. You've kind of given up. Just name it "Vampire Movie" and get it over with.
I feel like anyone who walks through Time Square and thinks those weirdos dressed up as children's characters are anything but creepy deserve what they get but the NYC police think otherwise because a guy dressed as the Cookie Monster has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after he pushed around a kid and tried to force folks to give him money. Then again that Cookie Monster always seemed kind of insane so I'm not 100% sure this wasn't the real deal.
A Chicago area Grandmother is in hot water after she allegedly hired her Grandson to take out his Grandfather because she was "sick of him". I don't know why but that sentence just makes me tired. I feel like she was just so tired of picking up socks or something and just wanted to take a nap so she said "Hey Billy, do gam gam a solid and murder Grandpa ok? I just need to get some sleep."
Every time I watch an episode of "Shahs of Sunset" a little bit of me dies. Just to be clear I've watched every episode this season. I have trouble looking at myself in the mirror.
The internerds are all a flutter about a new rumor floating around that Mark Frost and David Lynch are in talks with NBC to revive the "Twin Peaks" series for a third season. Whether or not the rumors are true remain to be seen but if they are it sounds like Lynch is hoping most or all of the original cast will return and the series will pick after the same amount of time it's been since the show went off the air. I never watched the show so I really don't have anything funny to tack on here. Kyle MacLachlan looks like he wears women's underwear though.
If you've been waiting around with baited breath for the new A&E series "Bates Motel" well I have good news for your and your mouth. The show will finally hit the airwaves on March 18th for your viewing pleasure. I mean it's not great news. The series based on the Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "Psycho" is still a couple months away. And it won't be on till 10 pm. So you still have some waiting to do. I'm sorry I got your hopes up.
It sounds like NBC may not be done with a reboot of "The Munsters" series after all. Days after it was announced they would not be moving forward with Bryan Fuller's "Mockingbird Lane" the channels main man Bob Greenblatt came out saying they won't rule out do another show based on the series. He went on to say he likes the idea of a new show but "Mockingbird Lane" just didn't work. So kind of a big "it's not me it's you" to Fuller. He then returned all of Fuller's t-shirts that he had in his closet. And tore all the pictures of the two of them together in half. It was really ugly.
So "Texas Chainsaw 3D" brought the ruckas big time this weekend at the box office. The new sequel, retelling or whatever the hell you want to call it of Tobe Hooper's classic 1974 chainsaw romp took in $23 million this past weekend making it number 1, beating out "Django Unchained" and "The Hobbit" and pretty much guaranteeing we'll see sequel. Or a threequil. Or a prequel? I saw the flick and I honestly have no idea what to call it.
If you're going to rob a store you might want to come up with a get away plan that doesn't involve calling your mom and asking for a ride. I mean you obviously set up a time for your mom to meet you. Moms are never late. Unless it's on a sitcom and you're getting out of soccer practice. That's just common knowledge.
Two California teen girls are under arrest after they drugged their parents milkshake so they could get onto the internet. I'm not saying I condone this but I understand. Sometimes you really just need to watch some porn.
Three days in a row, son. And they said I'd never amount to anything. Suck it Mr. Reynolds!
NBC has landed "Lost" writer Carlton Cuse (awful name) to pen the script for their new supernatural Western show "The 6th Gun". The show is about... well it's about six guns that hold mystical powers and one of them falls into the hands of a girl and then bad stuff happens or something. I don't know, it's based on a comic, I assume there's giant boobs and other things that are sexy in comic form but only in your mom's basement.
Robert Englund and Malcolm McDowell, two guys who randomly pop up in just about every horror movie and no one has any idea why, together at last in one film. Truth be told there's a solid chance they've been in a movie together before but I have no motivation to do any research on that. The film is "Sanitarium" and it's a new anthology flick about 3 different patients in a mental hospital. It also stars Lou Diamond Phillips who I honestly believe is the nicest man ever invented. He's also La Bamba.
Speaking of people who were on one episode of the short lived "Adam's Family" TV show reboot, Keegan Connor Tracy has been confirmed to be joining the cast of "Bates Motel". The show comes from the folks over at A&E and the pale little minx will play Norman's teacher. We were talking about "The New Adams Family" right?
I loved the show "Deadwood" more than life itself and therefore anything that Ian McShane does is pure gold. You can't argue it. So his guest spot on "American Horror Story: Asylum" will be gold. The show will be gold, the episode will be gold and the tears of joy I cry as he prances across the tiny screen will be solid gold. It's going to hurt.
Apparently you can use a stun gun on the pizza delivery guy no matter how funny it is. The things I learn from writing the news... it could fill a website where someone posts horror news with a couple real life news items every day.
Let this be a lesson to you all. When you're cooking your squirrel please don't use a propane torch. This guy in Michigan burned down 8 apartments. You do that crap with a trash can fire like a real hobo.
Just in case you don't have Netflix, a DVD player, a VHS player or the internet... FEARnet has decided to start showing "Tales From the Crypt" starting October 5th.
I had no idea that A&E was making a "Bates Motel" TV movie but I've been huffing a lot of paint lately so I've missed some things. But this is a thing and it's happening and I guess Freddie Highmore was always cast as Norman a while back so today I'm here to tell you that Olivia Cooke and Nicola Peltz have both joined the cast. I think I missed my fantasy football draft also. I hope no one picked up The Fridge yet.
Still holding out hope for a third installment in the "28 Days Later" saga titled "28 Months Later"? Well writer/producer Alex Garland says it isn't going to happen. So piss off.
If you want to get your beady little eyes on some clips from the "Evil Dead" and "Carrie" remakes then you're going to want to get your ass on a plane and come to NY Comic Con because both will premiere footage there on October 13th. I mean I guess if you live in Jersey you don't need to take a plane. That would be silly. Would you fly from Newark to JFK? I'm not even sure that's possible. Think for once in your life you freakin jackass.
A 480 pound Ohio man is looking to have his execution delayed because he claims at his weight lethal injection would cause a slow and cruel death. If this works out I assume death row will suddenly become a big group of giant fat asses.
Florida.... Man.... Sex with miniature donkey... I don't even know anymore folks.
I'm seriously considering buying a "Resident Evil: Retribution" poster online after seeing the film yesterday. Just thought I'd give you fair warning as to where my frame of mind is these days. Speaking of "RE: Retribution", Paul W.S. Anderson's candy coated confusion machine topped the box office this weekend, raking in $21 million. That's $5 million less than the last film opened to, and the smallest opening since the original. However, keep in mind that these films have done absolutely BONKERS business overseas.
Here's what the new Robocop looks like. I'll save you the time it takes to click... it's not even silver! What the hell are we doing here, people...
Anchor Bay has acquired Rob Zombie's "Lords of Salem" after its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival last week. Thank God they use the acronym TIFF, because typing the entire name makes me want to quit life.
Check out The monsters you missed in "Cabin in the Woods". I made my wife watch this on Bluray with me last night. She just looked confused. Me on the other hand? I'm calling it now, horror film of the year. Everyone else should go home and feel bad about themselves.
Here's the new Norman Bates that will star in A&E's "Bates Motel". I will continue not watching horror on television because it will always be terrible.
Tom Savini's "Night of the Living Dead" remake from 1990 is coming to Bluray. If you haven't seen it, you should, it's pretty fantastic.
Turns out, this girl's aunt did not sexually assault her in a satanic ritual in 1994. She was pretty excited to hear her admit that, considering she's been in prison for it ever since. Whoopsies!
The 11 drunkest presidents in US history. Ah, the good old days...
Tomorrow is the 4th of July. I plan on BBQing all day and being passed out drunk before it even gets close to fireworks time. But don't feel bad for me. I've already watched this 2 and a half minute video of people doing awful things with fireworks. Happy Birthday America.
Well it looks like "Ghostbusters 3" is getting an overhaul with a whole new writing team. No word on who the new writing team is but apparently all systems are a go. Until Bill Murray gets the new draft and takes a peepee on it during the 7th inning stretch of a Toledo Mud Hens game that is.
Susan Sarandon is the latest name to be added to the cast of the upcoming rated R stop motion flick "Hell & Back." The romp revolves around a duo who travel to the underworld to bring back their friend who was accidentally taken there. Sarandon will lend her voice skills to the movie in the form of Barb the angel. Which sounds about right because lets be honest at one time or another we've all though she was sent down from the heavens to make our lives better. I can't be the only one right?
A&E has given the thumbs up to at least ten episodes of their upcoming series "Bates Motel." The show will give the viewers insight into how everyone's favorite innkeeper Norman bates came to be a cross dressing killer. I assume it started with lipstick or something. Maybe some heels. Ladies pinch, whores use rouge, Norman.
People are still making magazines apparently and a new one has hit the shelves that might interest some of you deviants. Playzom magazine is now available in some areas of California and via their facebook page. The page turner looks to be one half horror mag, one half guys mag and one half spank material. I know that equals 3 halves. That's just how much content is in there. It's almost too much to handle.
And because it's America's birthday tomorrow here's an adorable story about the new alternative to seeing eye dogs. Ladies and gentleman I am proud to present to you... the seeing eye miniature horse.
A naked man is under arrest after he ran down the streets of Indianapolis completely nude doing ninja like flips and screaming at people. Police tased the crap out of the guy to no avail before he was eventually taken down. You make your own zombie apocalypse jokes. I've completely run out.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

AP Sports Writer
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) - Bret Bielema isn't about to start looking ahead, despite Arkansas' season-opening win over Louisiana-Lafayette.
The Razorbacks (1-0) put together a convincing 34-14 win over the Ragin' Cajuns on Saturday, a much-needed boost of confidence for a team that went 4-8 last season and was picked to finish last in the Southeastern Conference West Division this year.
It was a physical performance and exactly what Bielema wanted to see in his first game since leaving Wisconsin last December.
Despite the early success, Bielema is mindful that the Razorbacks are a "work in progress" and have a difficult start to the SEC looming.
Arkansas hosts Samford (1-0) in Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium this week.

Audience Priorities 2012/13
Each year the four Audience Councils, for Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, advise the Trust on priority issues for audiences around the UK.
Alison Hastings, Chair, Audience Council England
Our role is to advise the Trust on the needs and expectations of the BBC's audiences in England.
We are one of four national audience councils in the UK established under the BBC's Royal Charter, to reflect the views of audiences across the UK to the BBC Trust and to contribute audience views as part of the public consultations undertaken by the Trust.
In order to do this we are supported by 12 regional panels, one in each of the broadcasting regions in England.

Implementing an autoincrement counter in CoffeeScript
In one of the recent articles we implemented an autoincrement counter function using closures in JavaScript. Here's the source code:
var counter = (function() {
var count = 0;
return function() {
return ++count;
Today I was playing around in CoffeeScript, and I basically needed the same functionality. The first idea that came to my mind was this is impossible, CoffeeScript just wasn't built for this … but then after a little digging in the docs, I found a solution
counter = do ->
count = 0
return -> ++count
We could remove the return statement because it is inserted by default to the last line of a function
counter = do ->
count = 0
-> ++count
However I like the previous version better, sometimes it is better to be a little more explicit to improve code readability.

In the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Clark Durant is taking on Pete Hoekstra. Randy Hekman and Gary Glenn are also in the running. All of them are vying for the chance to face off against incumbent and political powerhouse Senator Debbie Stabenow in the fall.The 13th District could prove to be a challenge for the first time in many years for Congressman John Conyers. New demographics mean new challenges.Voters are interested in what happens."They want change in their lives. They want change in government. They're seeing things that they're not too pleased with, so you have to get out and vote to make those changes happen," said voter Anita Hawkins.Then there are the millage votes that you'll find on the ballot. In fact, across metro Detroit there are a lot of them.In New Haven, voting no would cut the police department in half bringing them down to six officers including the chief."I don't want to see any of my guys lose their job. In many cases, once police officers are laid off, it's very difficult to find another job," said Chief Michael Henry.Cities and townships across metro Detroit are dealing with the same scenario. To fund or not to fund, that's the question when it comes to public safety millages."I think it's important that the millage passes. I don't want services interrupted," Henry remarked.Voters in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties will also be deciding on a millage for the Detroit Institute of Arts.Gary Peters and Hansen Clarke are battling it out in the 14th District. Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence and former state representative Mary Waters join former district court judge Bob Costello in that fight.Click here to find out what exactly is on your ballot.

DALTON, GA — Mohawk''s SmartStrand Zoo Challenge has come to an end and it''s time to discover who came out on top, according to a press release.
After taking abuse from six African elephants, three camels and a black rhino, SmartStrand carpet with DuPont Sorona continues to prove victorious with its durability and resiliency against the toughest competitors, the release noted.
For more than two weeks, a combined total of 50,000 pounds of wild animals have done their absolute worst to Mohawk''s SmartStrand; this revolutionary carpet stood up to everything the animals could dish out, including romping around, the constant tracking in of mud and dirt and doing what they do best, the release stated.
"Knowing these are truly wild animals, I thought there was no way this carpet could handle the wear and tear they would subject it to," said Sean Greene deputy director of education and interpretation at the Dallas Zoo.
"It''s amazing to see the carpet bounce back to its original state knowing what it''s been put against for the past two weeks," Greene added.

As day dawns and we begin to really worry about Taylor Hall, it's probably a good time to reflect on the impact this young man has had on the Oilers as a team. It's always easiest to put these things per 82 games, so let's do that:
- John Tavares 32-39-71
- Taylor Hall 31-39-70
- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 20-42-62
- Tyler Seguin 23-28-51
- Nail Yakupov 25-23-48
That's a very effective player we're talking about here, and losing Hall for a long period of time would hurt this team terribly. However, that's not the most devastating thing to ponder here, as time lost has to be added onto "possible loss of footspeed upon return" and that's the knife to the heart. Now, let's not go off half cocked here, we don't know how bad it is and we do know they haven't put him in crutches or rushed him off to the hospital. It looks bad, but is it?
I'd like to ask a couple of questions (and warn trolling boats to move along) of the group. #1: What is your best solution in the short term? #2: Based on the information available (video, Principe's tweet, God knows there's a doctor or two in this crowd) what are we looking at here?
Responsible replies please, I don't want any "they should have wrecked Spezza posts" because it does nothing but angry up the blood. Thanks.
Added: Taylor Hall has flown to Edmonton to see Oiler doctors.

What would your ideal government system look like?
What would your ideal government system look like? Is a two party system such a good idea?
Topics: 2012 US election government systems design
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 2 2012: I do like the idea behind the US government and its constitution of laws. and really any True form of any government is actually ideal. Meaning no actual human influence involved. So no government is actually ideal.
What should be done is have the governing taken out of the hands of the overseers (the ones with the big picture in mind so to speak). And hand it over to local governments within certain guidelines. Take the funding for our current government and reverse the funding. The amount of money we pay to the federal government should go to our local, and the amount of money to the local goes to the federal government.
This has many upsides, our local government can keep the local area in much better repair, safety would not be a concern as police and fire could be properly funded. Local governments are more easily reached by the people that they serve. Local ordinances can be upheld and voted on and enacted by the citizens that actually wanted them, and not an all powerful federal government that needs to do everything for everyone.
If things are not going well in the local area, it would be much easier to get rid of those persons if things get bad enough. Each individual would have much more say in what can and can't be done in their local area.
States and Federal Governments will go back to being what they were initially intended to be, part time jobs that representatives went to after hearing from their own constituents 60% of the year on what they actually need. There wouldn't be as many laws, lawyers, criminals, crimes, monopolies, Wars, debt, politics. Do we need a federal government, yes we do. But in such a limited capacity that they can't and won't be able to affect every living person in the country because some PAC bought them an election. They should have funding to provide for a strong defensive military and some other international needs but nothing more than that. Local and State Bodies should be the ones that handle the needs of people.

From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum
Recognizing "it all begins in Iowa," Fred Thompson officially began his campaign for president in Des Moines. Thompson told the audience the "preseason is over" and promised to make America a "stronger, more prosperous nation." Like the rest of the candidates, he promised change, saying he is not a career politician. In fact, he promised to be the president "who will blow the whistle on this lack of responsibility" in the current government. "We still get our basic rights from God and not from government," he said.
Thompson began, talking of terrorism. "We are living in an era now of the suitcase bomb," he said. "We are living in an era now of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, where a small amount of the wrong kind of material getting in the wrong hands can do destruction that we never though possible. They are more likely than ever to fall in the hands of our worst enemy. Radical Islam has declared war on us."
On Iraq, Thompson has previously said it is important to stay in the country until the job is done. Today, he parsed that a bit, drawing a distinction between Iraq and the global war on terrorism. "Iraq is a part of that conflict, but Iraq is not that conflict," Thompson said. "That conflict will be with us unfortunately long after Iraq is in our rear view mirror. And the whole world watches and waits as the determination of the American people is tested."
Thompson did not talk about healthcare or energy policy in his speech, but he did call for stronger immigration laws. "A country that cannot enforce her own borders will not remain a sovereign nation," Thompson said to loud applause. He also stressed the importance of fiscal responsibility, stating Congress is spending the entire social security surplus.
His 23-minute speech followed a video introduction, which detailed his biography. But facing a stigma of laziness (see Newsweek's "Lazy like a fox" cover) did he give opposition researchers fodder with this line? "I thought about just running that video again instead of making a speech, to tell you the truth."

A storm propelled by strong cyclonic winds — approaching the historic levels of those that caused widespread damage in Davis County in December 2011 — had the National Weather Service urging residents from Brigham City to the Salt Lake Valley to secure loose outdoor objects and prepare for power outages.
"Downed trees [and] power lines and infrastructure damage can be expected due to the combination of strong winds and the prolonged nature of the event," the weather service said in a discussion of the wind event, which was expected to last through Tuesday morning.
While this wind event will be weaker and shorter than the one in 2011, it is expected to produce gusts ranging from 65 to 75 mph along the northern Wasatch Front. By comparison, the peak gust in December 2011 in Centerville was 102 mph, according to the NWS.
Still, forecasters issued a high wind warning for the Salt Lake desert region extending through 9 p.m. Tuesday. Strong cross winds were expected to batter Interstate 80. High-profile vehicles were especially at risk from the blustery weather. Southern Davis County and the east bench of Salt Lake County were also expected to feel the brunt of the wind storm.
A winter weather advisory in place through noon Tuesday also predicts thunderstorms, valley rains and 1-2 feet of mountain snowfall in a stretch of northern and central Utah in addition to gusty winds.
Both Big and Little Cottonwood canyons were restricted to chained or four-wheel drive vehicles late Monday morning.
The advisory covers a ribbon along the Wasatch Front running from Logan south through Ogden, Salt Lake City and Provo to as far south as Richfield.
A Winter Storm Warning was in place, also through noon Tuesday, for northeastern Utah, the Wasatch Plateau and the southwestern quarter of the state. Thunderstorms and rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains, heavy in places, were expected.
By Monday evening, some Utah ski resorts had picked up close to a foot of snow with an additional 4 to 8 inches expected overnight, NWS meteorologist Mike Seaman said. Alta had recorded 8 inches of new snow, while both Deer Valley and Park City recorded 10 inches. And although rain fell steadily through the day Monday, most cities got less than an inch of rain,
The new precipitation isn't likely enough to help the state prepare for the summer, however, Seaman said.
"We're far enough along in the year that it's not going to help the water supply," he said. "Every little bit helps of course, but we're far enough along in the year that we're almost certain to finish the winter season below normal in the mountains."
Southwestern Utah also was under a High Wind Watch through Wednesday morning with gusts above 60 mph expected.
The Utah Avalanche Center took note of the coming addition to mountain snow packs, too, elevating its avalanche risk ratings for the mountains above Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo and the Uintas to "considerable," while "moderate" risk grades applied throughout the remainder of the state.
Storm activity always freshens the state's atmosphere, and the Utah Division of Air Quality issued "green," or healthy breathability grades statewide through Wednesday.
Salt Lake City's high temperature Tuesday was predicted to hit 48 degrees, down from the 53 forecast for Monday; Ogden expected 47 and 52 degrees, respectively; Provo 48 and 56; Logan 45 and 50; Wendover 51 and 50; Duchesne 39 and 57; Cedar City 43 and 52; St. George 60 and 63; and Moab 37 and 61 degrees.
