Stéphane Trawalter, a Californian surfer from France, is going to donate a kidney to a Hawaiian friend and Desert Storm Veteran.
Surfing is the center of this warm story. Stéphane Trawalter, a passionate surfer from the Alsace region of France, has moved to California looking for waves.
Another successful closes year for the Stand Up World Tour and we look ahead to 2013, the New Year will bring most of the same events back, but with some changes and exciting developments making for the most groundbreaking year yet for this World Championship Tour.
With the introduction of the Women's World Championship Tour that will run alongside the men's in Hawaii, Brazil, California and France, along with live broadcasts from all events, increased global TV airtime, launch of the new Stand Up World Tour rulebook and increase in prestige and impact at all events, 2013 promises to be the best yet. Click for the Tour.

Arising NW should peak at easy 6' midday with decent light ENE trades. It could see new lines from a much bigger swell late in the day.
The $130,000 VOLCOM PIPE PRO - a 5-star rated ASP event, will get underway at 8:30am HST this-morning after patiently waiting through four days of a 12-day holding period. The event requires a total of four days of great waves and with plenty of surf on tap, organizers can be selective.
Watch the Volcom Pipe Pro in person or on Oceanic 250 or Online LIVE HERE ( www.volcompipepro.com/)
Volcom is partnering with ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, to bring the Volcom Pipe Pro and competitive surfing to a whole new audience. In addition to the traditional live broadcast, ESPN will be streaming the contest live in HD on ESPN3.com. This partnership will mark the first time that ESPN has streamed a live ASP surfing event.
Action sports don't take place on neatly manicured lawns or AstroTurf. Instead, they happen on vert ramps and snow-topped mountains, behind the wheel and on the crest of a wave, at high miles per hour and even higher altitudes, producing enough broken bones and concussions to make an NFL player blush. Which action sports star demonstrates the greatest combination of athletic talent?

He left his apartment to get a haircut and never returned.
A Henderson man has been missing for three weeks, and now his family is using social media to solve the mystery of his disappearance.
Keith Goldberg, 56, was last seen Jan. 31. Police said his car was last seen near Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway.
Keith Goldberg was in a 2009 silver Toyota Corolla with Nevada license plates 474-VBZ.
Keith Goldberg's older brother, Jeff Goldberg, told us Keith Goldberg was a taxi driver for Lucky Cabs. Jeff Goldberg said his brother left Brooklyn and moved to the desert four years ago after he was laid off.
"He came out there to change his life," Jeff Goldberg said in a phone interview from New York City.
Jeff Goldberg said he normally spoke to his brother once or twice a week. He called Keith Goldberg a few days before the Super Bowl.
"I was coming out there for a Super Bowl party I go to every year," said Jeff Goldberg. "My brother always comes with me."
Keith Goldberg was supposed to pick his brother up at the airport.
"His phone would go directly to voicemail, and it really bothered me," said Jeff Goldberg.
As Jeff Goldberg investigated, he learned of more uncharacteristic behavior.
"I called his cab company and found out from his cab company that he was scheduled for three days and didn't show up," he said.
That's something Jeff Goldberg said his brother would never do. Keith Goldberg also wouldn't go without his medication. Jeff Goldberg said his brother is a diabetic and needs insulin.
When Jeff Goldberg landed in Las Vegas, he contacted police and spent his trip trying to trace his brother's steps. Now that three weeks have gone by, Keith Goldberg's niece leapt into action. She created a Twitter account, @FindKeithG. The Goldbergs have appealed to members of the media and celebrities to retweet information about their missing family member.
"The more eyes and ears out there, the better," said Lauren Goldberg, Keith Goldberg's niece. "For every person that posts it, they know a lot more people out there who are able to get the word out."
Jeff Goldberg plans to travel to Las Vegas to continue the search in person. He said it's just too hard to do it long-distance and that his family wants a resolution.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's missing persons division at 702-828-2907 or 702-828-3111.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (BP) -- I have a confession: I've always been a do-er. I have a difficult time sitting back and simply observing when I see something that needs to be corrected.
I have friends who love to debate politics, sports and theology. They get all excited analyzing the pros and cons of the latest technology, what's wrong with their boss or how they feel about the latest issue at church. While some of them will seek resolution or change, most of them just love the debate. I can only take so much debate, and then I want to fix it.
I think that desire is part of the reason I became a nurse. Nurses are generally do-ers. If a nurse stood over your hospital bed and only debated the pros and cons of the latest prescribed treatment, you might never get well. Good nurses analyze quickly and then act.
As followers of Christ, I recognize there is a time for us to study, debate the Scriptures and even argue over approaches for reaching people with the Gospel. But eventually, there comes a point where the debate stops and we heed Christ's call to action.
Yes, Jesus faced questions, even debate at times, over His teaching and His challenges to existing culture. He wisely used those instances to instruct those who might be watching and listening. Not only did He bring clarity to issues people were facing about everyday life, He provided insight to how His followers are to live based on Scripture.
From the moment He called each of the disciples, they witnessed how much of His earthly ministry was spent preaching, teaching, healing and meeting other physical needs. The Gospel of Matthew tells us, "Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field'" (Matthew 9:35-38, NIV).
There's an appropriate time for discussion and debate, but Jesus is calling for workers in His harvest field. You and I are called to be people of action -- a voice for justice and salvation among the many who do not know the one true source of peace.
We've been called to give of our resources and our time; to commit ourselves totally to His calling. As we pray and give during this season of the year, let's especially remember those who have committed their lives to following the Great Commission into all the world -- preaching and teaching and healing -- so the Gospel will be proclaimed among all people.
I think it's OK to be a do-er. The time to act is now. Let's go to the harvest field together and make a difference for Christ.
Wanda S. Lee is executive director/treasurer of Woman's Missionary Union.

It's is so good to be here! Although, I'm originally a California boy raised near the beach in sunny San Diego, I am so grateful that the Grand Canyon state has been treating me so well. I joined the Tucson News Now team in August, 2013. Before making my way here, I spent some time in Yuma where I helped launch news from the ground up as an Operations Manager/News Reporter for the KECY Fox 9/ABC 5 station. Before that I worked with KSWT News 13 in Yuma as an Anchor/Reporter. I am so excited to continue being able to provide news to people in Arizona.
Every day I am so grateful to head off to work and do what I love. During my college days at U.C. Santa Barbara, I interned at multiple news stations in Southern California and even attended San Diego City College where I was nominated for a student Emmy award. I knew I wanted to be a news reporter ever since elementary school where I was about the only 5th grader who would go home and watch the 5 o'clock news instead of Power Rangers.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, biking, and getting to know new places. When it gets too hot outside, there's nothing like watching a good movie with friends and family.
I love news and I am always looking for a good story. Please feel free to get in touch and follow me on Twitter @MauricioMarinTV.

The man who values money, values
every human virtue—wealth is the accumulation of virtue in a tangible form. If you have any doubt about the nature and virtue of money, please read the
Money Speech from Ayn Rand's, Atlas Shrugged.
Making Money
Getting money is not a virtue. After all welfare recipients, government employees, and other assorted crooks "get money."
Making money is very different from getting money. Making money requires producing a product or performing a service that someone else is willing to pay for. To make money, you must produce something of value or perform a service that is of value in an open and free market, (or an underground market where an oppressive government controls the economy).
It does not really matter what product or service you perform, so long as whatever you do, you do as well as you can and truly know that what you have produced has real value, and you can take pride in your work.
For the independent individualist working for one's self is ideal, but in many societies and markets that may not be possible, at least until some level of wealth has been established. Some careers usually mean one will always be working as part of some organization—nursing and systems analysis are examples, although private nursing and contracting are exceptions.
Working For Others
If you are capable and competent in your work, you will almost never have a problem finding work. Capable competent workers are rare. There is an attitude the independent individualist must always have with regard to his relationship with those he chooses to work for.
The independent individualist should never think of the relationship between himself and whoever is paying for his services as an employer/employee relationship. The independent individualist should always regard the "employer" as a customer to whom he is selling his service. It is unlikely most employers will see the relationship that way, (though they would be much better off if they did) and there is no reason for the independent individualist to enlighten the employer.
This attitude is very important for the independent individualist, who should never think of himself as "belonging" to someone or something else, like a company, but always a free agent dealing with others as free agents. A customer certainly has a right to specify what he wants and is willing to pay for, and the individual always has the right to agree with the customer's desires, or go elsewhere. This attitude is not only necessary for maintaining the individual's independence, but is important to his personal integrity, because the independent individualist will honor his agreements.
Others Working For You
There are two reasons this view of the relationship between a worker and the one hiring the worker should always be viewed as someone offering their service (the worker) to potential customers (the one that hires them).
The first reason makes determining how to treat a worker ethical both in terms of personal relationship between them, because the worker is no one's property, but another individual human being. Of course it makes determining what you are willing to pay objective and rationally negotiable.
Another very important reason is because of government. Government never looks at individuals as individuals, but only as "employers" or "employees," placing restrictions, controls, and demands on both. You must never have "employees." You must alway only deal with other individuals as individuals who are free to sell you their products or services, or not.
If you have no employees all of the governments regulations regarding employees and employee records, from withholding taxes to medical insurance do not apply. Along the same lines, unless the "job" is to be someplace for a specified period of time (such as a security guard) never pay anyone for their time and only for actually delivered products or services. Unless you have reason to keep the entire transaction confidential, have signed receipts for every payment you make for each service or product.
[Note: Practical methods of running a business with minimal government interference will be addressed in future articles.]
Criteria For Individualist Wealth Creation
Whatever means one chooses to produce his wealth, it must meet at least two criteria: 1. it must be what one wants, or is at least willing, to do and 2. it must be ethical?
The first is necessary, because no one can truly be effective as a producer of either products or services if they personally have no desire or interest in what they are doing. Most people's interests are broad enough so many different things can, at least for a while, be interesting to do, especially when first learning to do it well. Someone who personally cannot stand strong odors, for example, should probably not work at a cosmetic counter in a large store, but working in other areas of retail can be very good learning experiences about people and business organization.
The question of ethics is much more important.
Is It Ethical?
There is part of Ayn Rand's, "The Money Speech," that is most frequently neglected:
"Money will always remain an effect and refuse to replace you as the cause. Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue and it will not redeem your vices ..."
The issue is not one of freedom. In a free society every individual would be free to perform any service and produce any product that did not coercively interfere in anyone else's life. In a free society an individual would be free to produce and market pornography if he chose to. In a free society an individual would be free to prostitute themselves if they chose to.
The issue is one's
own character and integrity, not what is or is not legally allowed; it is what one's own nature as a human being will allow if one is not to destroy their own sense of self-worth and happiness.
Is It Legal?
The question of legality only pertains to government, not ethics. Government frequently make things illegal which are morally or ethically good, and often legalizes things which are morally and legally reprehensible. The legality of a thing has nothing to do with the morality of a thing.
Depending on the government of a particular society, a product or service one chooses to provide might or might not be legal, even when that product or service is an ethically good one.
Some examples:
An independent individual might produce any of these products or perform any of these services even where and when illegal. They are perfectly ethical ways to produce wealth.
There are only two considerations that must be made:
1. Wherever an "occupation" has been made illegal (or controlled), to perform that occupation entails additional risk, (all occupations have some risk), that must be taken into consideration.
2. When a government prohibits a product or service, that prohibition usually inflates the market price of such products and services. It is unethical to take advantage of that inflation.
I will briefly address both of these considerations.
Everything in life is a risk. One of the most important things we learn is to identify the risk that anything we choose to do entails and how to minimize that risk and how to deal with the worst, if it happens.
When assessing risk, there are two frequent mistakes:
1. Considering the likelihood or the "odds" of the bad thing happening. The mistake is in assuming the cost of a loss or disaster is somehow reduced if the odds of it's happening are less. If a loss or disaster would not be acceptable, the risk is a bad one no matter how unlikely the loss or disaster is.
2. Weighing the risk against the possible gain. The expression never risk more than the prize is worth is sensible only if the true nature of risk is understood.
The true nature of risk is this: One must know if one takes a risk and looses, they are able to cover the cost of whatever loss the risk entails. Except in cases where, "there is nothing to lose," which really means "there is nothing to risk," only if the loss or disaster can be absorb or recovered from, is the risk worth taking.
When the risk is an artificial one created by government policy or laws, it is very difficult to assess the possible costs, because it is arbitrary and can change at any moment. There is nothing ethically wrong with defying government prohibitions and restrictions in the course of earing one's wealth, but the additional risk entailed must be taken into account.
Generally, the amount of profit one makes from whatever product or service he sells may be determined by whatever the market will bear. The market value of one's products or services is determined by what others are willing to pay for them.
[Note: In a free competitive market, many factors will bear on the "price" of one's products and services, such as the availability and quality of competing products and services. All of these are aspects of the field of economics, which are not addressed here.]
The independent individualist cannot ethically take advantage of other's ignorance or weaknesses, however, and must always know that what others pay for his products and services is just and reasonable in his best judgment.
In those cases where one's products or services are prohibited or controlled by government, the prices of such products and services are frequently inflated by the artificially produced "scarcity" of such products. The independent individualist may not ethically take advantage of those artificially inflated prices and will only seek to cover the cost to doing business plus a reasonable profit. Since the risk of selling such products and services is higher, the expense of marketing them will be higher too, and a price higher than might be available in a free market is justified—an exorbitant price is not, however.
In most cases and independent individualist will not have to defy the law to carry on the kind of business he chooses, but the fact there are laws limiting or controlling the products or services the honest individualist chooses to produce or offer should not prevent him from doing what is right, provided he has properly assessed the risk and knows he choice is ethically correct.
Only A Beginning
How you choose to produce is really how you choose to live your life. What you do create your wealth is what you are, what you have made of yourself. No one can advise you about how to live your life because only you can discover what is right for you. It is not necessary that you find one particular occupation or profitable activity and be bound to it for life. More likely you will discover a particular class of physical and intellectual activities that you both enjoy and excel in, the particulars of which will change over time as you and the world around you change.
Still the question that seems most difficult for most people is, "what do I really want to do with my life, what do I want to be?"
Many articles addressing that and related questions are planned, but one very good answer comes from someone you can learn many things from in your pursuit of wealth.
Robert Ringer
The extremely successful Robert Ringer is not a philosopher, and I disagree with some of views philosophically, but in the world of business and finance his are some of the most sound views.
Robert has two articles that directly address the question of what one should choose to do with their life, "Your Hidden Genius, Part I
Your Life Passion," and, "Your Hidden Genius, Part II
Purpose in Life."
Robert summarizes the principles, "Take lots of action, discover what you enjoy and what you are good at, then focus on perfecting that talent with consistency and intensity. I recognize that this is much easier to talk about than actually do. However, the effort is worth it, because it could very well result in your hidden genius coming to the surface ... and bringing you all you want in life."
I believe this method will work for a great many people. There is one class of individualist that will not find this a successful method, however: the polymath. How does one who finds almost everything interesting and is "good at" almost everything they seriously put their hand and mind to choose which to "specialize" in? The answer will require an entire article, but here is a hint—not everyone should specialize, someone needs to be able to discover the relationships between all subjects and disciplines.
Specific articles on some possible businesses of interest to individualists are in the works. In the meantime, I highly recommend Robert Ringers articles, "Business Strategy"

Strengths: Makes riding a variety of terrain a lot easier. I like to ride aggressive cross country trails with some serious rock gardens and drops so this product comes in very handy for those situtations. The increase in control that you have for steep rocky technical sections is amazing and to not have to get off your bike for the next big climb (to raise the seat post) is very convenient.
Weaknesses: clamp set (which holds the saddle to the post was bent easily and didn't function properly). However, this was fixed by Maverick customer service quickly with no questions asked. The customer service is remarkable!!!

11,000 without power in Quebec
About 800 Hydro Quebec employees are still hard at work trying to restore electricity to customers affected by a power outage on Friday.
The lights went out for 120-thousand customers when a storm dumped about 50-centimetres of snow in some areas.
As of 8 p.m. Monday night, about 11,600 customers were still without power, mainly in the Laurentians and the Outaouais region of western Quebec.
The Lanaudiere region north of Montreal was also heavily affected, but power has been largely restored in that area.
Hydro-Quebec spokeswoman Isabelle Nuckle says the weight of the snow caused several trees to sag onto power lines.
She says the work is taking longer than expected because many utility poles carrying the power lines need to be replaced.

Rockwell Collins Unveils Enhanced Vision System That Can Detect LED Runway Lighting
On Friday, Rockwell Collins unveiled its new EVS-3000 enhanced vision system, which includes a multi-spectral EVS sensor that "significantly improves detection of outside terrain, hazards and obstacles in low-visibility conditions caused by weather phenomena such as fog." The EVS-3000 also brings the industry-first ability to fully detect LED lighting, which is increasingly being used by airports as a runway lighting solution. It does not require a built-in cooling system, reducing weight. Rockwell Collins will announce a launch customer for its EVS-3000 on Monday at the NBAA Convention.
Would be a better article if it explained what "fully detecting LED lighting" means, and what benefit pilots would see. I see that Rockwell's site has a similar lack of detail.

By Joe Wojtas
Publication: theday.com
Stonington — First Selectman Ed Haberek has said that the town has issued a notice of violation to Handlebar Cafe for erecting an illegal sign and set of large handlebars over the entrance to the Route 1 bar as part of its reality television show makeover.
Haberek said the bar owner has met with town officials and agreed to take down the handlebars and file an application for the sign and alternate use for the handlebars.
Two weeks ago, Planning and Zoning Commission member John Prue accused the town of employing a double standard by allowing the bar to put up a new sign without first getting a permit, as is normally required.
But Haberek, who is the town's acting director of planning, had said the Handlebar was in a unique situation because the point of the Spike TV show "Bar Rescue" is to surprise the public with the makeover. He said there were contractual requirements between the show and 201 S. Broad St. bar regarding the secrecy of the changes.
As part of the makeover, "Bar Rescue" painted a new, large mural on the side of Handlebar Cafe and erected a pair of large handlebars on an overhang over the front entrance. The mural requires a sign permit while the handlebars are not allowed because of safety concerns.

Due to freak wet-weather conditions, the opening event of the 2003 NHRA sport compact season in Las Vegas was cancelled and rescheduled for July 25 and 26. Mother Nature continued to mess with the racers when they turned up in Sin City for the rerun. On Friday morning, high winds and unheard-of rain pelted the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but the weather cleared in time for the action to commence that night.
QualifyingThe qualifying sessions on Friday night involved a few upsets and plenty of action. In the All-Motor Class, championship leader Ken Scheepers looked to have the pole sewn up with the RX7.com Mazda until Scott Mohler in his Dodge Neon beat him in the final session with a 10.657 against a 10.676. Jesus Padilla claimed third place, followed by Leslie Durst in her Honda and Scott Kelley in this VW.
The Hot Rod Class was a packed field. Not surprisingly, Marty Ladwig claimed pole position with an 8.736 at 164.49 in the Pontiac Sunfire, followed by Mike Crawford in the Neon with an 8.964. Gary Gardella posted a 9.017 to claim the third spot and behind him was Lance Ho Lung and J.J. Olsen in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Team Quaker State driver Kenny Tran was looking for the tune-up and ended up in sixth but was confident his performance would improve. "Norwood is confident he has got a handle on the conditions now," Tran said. "The altitude, along with the weird humidity has played havoc with everyone, that's why the times are a little off. I guess we will find out when we go into eliminations if we are on target."
The 2003 season has seen a great battle in the Modified Class between Team Venom's Jimmy O'Connor and Cesar Febus in his old-school 300ZX. So far, Febus seems to have the upper hand, but in Las Vegas, Jimmy O'Connor clinched the number one position with a flying 8.194 at 164.75 mph in the Venom Supra. Febus was close behind with an 8.223 at 165.99, setting up another two-way battle for the "Wally."
The Pro FWD class has been an interesting class to watch this year, as several new cars have been debuted with great results. At the end of the day Chris Rado was the top qualifier. He proved to the doubters that his radical Toyota Celica has what it takes to win, he just needs to fix the transmission problems that have plagued the World Racing team this year. After posting an 8.462 at 176.21 mph Rado was a happy camper. "I know we've got what it takes to be winners in this class," he said. "We're making more than enough horsepower, but we're having trouble with the shifting mechanism on our Fortin transaxle. Some of the other teams seem to have a handle on it and we just need to find out what they are doing right. Shaun Carlson is helping us out and I am confident he'll figure out where we are going wrong. All the same, it's great to be on pole and I couldn't be happier."
Dr. Charles Madrid claimed the second spot with teammate Ed Bergenholtz in third. Championship leader Nelson Hoyos qualified fourth, but the GM team is hard at work so he will still be a threat in the eliminations.
Meanwhile, the rear-wheel-drive ground-pounders were putting on a show for the Vegas crowd. 2003 has been a great year for Ara Arslanian and his Streetglow-backed Bullish racing squad so far. Ara had a few problems in Vegas but managed to squeeze into the field in the final session with an 8.074 at 157.96 mph.
George Ioannou took the other Solara to the top spot with a 6.954 at 202.73 mph. In second place was veteran Abel Ibarra behind the wheel of his K&N RX7. Ibarra ran a 7.129 at 193.96 mph and Stephan Papadakis clinched the third spot with a 7.196 at 195.08 mph.
EliminationsDespite wacky weather conditions, eliminations turned up a few shocking results. The first upset in the All-Motor Class came when championship leader Ken Scheepers was beaten in the second round by Jeremy Lookofsky. Scheepers was slow to react with a .743 light and Lookofsky capitalized on that to win with a 10.978 at 123.19 mph.
Lookofsky was beaten in a semifinal race against Jesus Padilla, while on the other side of the ladder, Scott Mohler dispatched Leslie Durst in a great race where Durst post a 10.526 against Mohler's winning 10.506.
The final round was not a good one for the current champion, Jesus Padilla. He lit the red, leaving Scott Mohler to win with a 10.708 at 129.97 mph. Mohler gained valuable ground in the points chase against Ken Scheepers and was happy to claim a Wally for the Mopar squad.
"I really needed a win and luckily, Ken was out early in the event. Now I need to continue this into the next couple of events. Then we will have a real battle for the championship," said Mohler.

I am a conservation ecologist with research interests in plant species at the two opposite ends of the abundance spectrum. Specifically, I study and contrast, when possible, reproductive ecology, species interactions, and the population dynamics and viability of rare and abundant species. The latter includes invasive species. The ultimate goal of my research is to generate insights into the species' ecology to guide biodiversity conservation and management efforts. My current research addresses important environmental issues such as the impacts of global changes on rare orchid populations and conservation of heavily exploited plant species. I am also interested in rare plant restoration, especially of endangered orchids. I have first authored or co-authored more than 40 peer-reviewed articles on these subjects, with the majority in well-known journals. I have also authored two peer-reviewed book chapters.

Imagine Entertainment has their beady little eyes set on a new version of George Orwell's "1984" and has already tapped Noah Oppenheim to pen the script. For those of you not familiar with the book it's kind of like that show "Big Brother" but with more torture and less HOH competitions.
"Monster Problems" sounds like a movie that should have an awesome theme song. Not many movies have theme songs anymore though huh? Oh man remember the 80's?! Well maybe it will have a theme song. And maybe a Shawn Levy will dance around in the video because he's just been added to the cast of the post-apocalyptic road trip love story film. I hope Kenny Loggins sings the song.
Edward James Olmos, more than any other person, made me want to learn math. I'm not going to explain why. You should already know. Well now he's going to make me want to.. I don't know, move to Mexico maybe? Because he's joined the cast of Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills". He makes me want to learn Spanish also. I feel like that would be useful.
I'm starting to think that "Mad Max: Fury Road" is actually happening because Rosie Huntington-Whiteley of prancing around in her underthings fame has just been added to the cast. In her own words she's playing one of "five women being taken from one place to another place". Sounds riveting. Put that crap on a poster man.
A different Ohio man is in jail after he was caught having sex with a teddy bear in public... for the second time. Nice try Ohio, you had me for a second there.
An Ohio man is in jail after a judge tossed him in the slammer for showing up to court in saggy jeans. Ohio, every once in a while you get it right.
"Let Me In" Wunder-Director Matt Reeves has signed on to tackle the Frankenstein flick "This Dark Endeavor" based on the book with the same name. The film is just the latest in a long line of Frankenstein based films to be announced which means 2012 could very much be the year of the reanimated dead. Neck bolts are going to be soooo hot, I can just feel it.
The latest name to be added to the cast of "Dexter" season 6 is none other than Edward James Olmos. Colin Hanks and Mos Def have already been signed on and I can only assume that the addition of Olmos means that Dexter will be moving to a rough inner city and Olmos will play a teacher who shows him the powers of math. That's not racist, he did it in "Stand and Deliver".
So many people have been added to the cast of "Hunger Games" that I have officially forgotten what the movie is even about and now that Lenny Kravitz is on board I just want to punch it right in the face. I'm kidding, it's about two areas that send children to battle each other. I'm not kidding about the punching in the face though, Lenny Kravitz is a prick.
If you're like me then you spend most of your time as a bachelor paying strange women to break into your home, tie you up and torture you for two hours. Well good news fellow deviants, the movie "Kidnapped" is everything you've dreamt of and more and there's a new trailer out for the film to prove it. Of course I don't believe there's any sort of safe word involved in this, so that could get sketchy.
A North Carolina man is under arrest after he walked into his local Salvation Army, took off his pants and sat down on a couch with all his goodness hanging out for the world to see. Of course the obvious question here is how much is the couch discounted now that it's all covered in creepy old man juices.
Must be open season for showing your genitals in North Carolina because here's another guy who was so pissed off that his local Bojangles ran out of fried chicken that he decided to whip his bits out and show the woman working at the drive-thru window. I have no idea how that solves the chicken problem but I like his enthusiasm.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

A Kentucky doctor and his wife were killed after a single-engine plane crashed in Bolingbrook Wednesday night. The FAA and NTSB combed through the wreckage Thursday morning, looking for answers.
A spokeswoman from Georgetown Community Hospital, in Kentucky, identified Dr. Narayan Vengushwamy and his wife, Jay, as the crash victims. They were on their way to a medical conference.
"I have known him and his wife for 4½ years, and they were very special people," said Cindy Wesley, assistant administrator at Georgetown Community Hospital in Georgetown, Ky. "Of course (we are in shock) this is a small community hospital, and we are a very small community."
The doctor was often referred to as Dr. Vengu.
"Dr. Vengu was a member of the Georgetown medical staff for 27 years. He was an extraordinary physician and outstanding surgeon who was passionate about the practice of medicine. He was an integral member of the Georgetown medical staff," according to the hospital's statement. "Dr. Vengu was well-respected and beloved, particularly by his staff, his patients and his colleagues. Our heartfelt thoughts, prayers and support are with the Vengu family during this very difficult time."
Authorities say the Cirrus SR-22 clipped several trees, hit a few light poles and crashed into three cars in the parking lot of a Chase bank, before it burst into flames at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday.
"At this time of day, during rush hour, we're very fortunate there wasn't a greater number of casualties or injuries," Bolingbrook police Lt. Mike Rompa said.
"These planes come low anyways. They're quite low when they land. I didn't think anything of it. I just figured he was trying to come around, because the landing runway is on this side over here," one witness said. "I didn't know what he was trying to do. He just lost control, and that was it. It was something out of a nightmare."
The bank branch is located at Weber Rd. and Lily Cache Ln, about half a mile from Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport. Local police said the pilot was trying to land there. Witnesses said the plane tried to lift again before it crashed into the parking lot.
"It appears they had trouble, tried to lift again and banked into the parking lot," Bolingbrook police Chief Kevin McCarthy said.
"As soon it was coming up in the air, it started to bank left, and the bank was rather steep, and I just…" witness George Malek said. "It's just one of those gut things you know, that it's not going to make it."
The FAA said the flight originated in Georgetown Scott County Airport – Marshal Field in Kentucky at 4:08 EST. It was scheduled to arrive at Clow at 5:05 CST.
"It was a single-engine plane with a propeller and four seats," Georgetown airport manager James Toole said. "It would have taken him about two hours to get to his destination. They were going to Bolingbrook."
The doctor's wife, who was also his office manager, was trapped in the wreckage and pronounced dead at the scene at 6:45 p.m., Rompa said.
"I was taking money out of one of the ATMs," Tom McKernan of Bolingbrook said. "I heard this horrible explosion. I thought it was a rocket coming from some other country. I was in shock."
"I've never seen anything quite like that," witness George Steimer said. "When it hit, it just exploded. I mean there was just this big loud crash. Then all of the sudden, there were little explosions."
Stunned witnesses in neighboring restaurants and businesses reported seeing one "middle-aged" man emerge from the wreckage of the inbound plane - in flames.
"I went running over and I could see the flames, I mean it went up in flames immediately. Then I saw the pilot come out and he had flames," witness Cherise McGee said. "He kind of did a drop and roll. I couldn't see more than that."
Dr. Vengu was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital with burns. Because of the severity of his injuries, he was subsequently transferred to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood for further treatment.
Dr. Vengu succumbed to his injuries at 5:45 a.m. Thursday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner.
Mike Grohar, who works at a nearby Andy's Frozen Custard, was among the first to arrive at the scene. Grohar said a man who got out of the plane was in the parking lot on fire. He said another man took off his sweatshirt or jacket to douse the fire.
"The man had fallen and kept asking us to get his wife out of the plane," Grohar said. "We were only 20 feet from the plane and we wanted to get him away."
The wreckage was so bad, Grohar said, that he thought he had come upon a car crash.
"[I] did not have any clue that it was a plane at that point," Grohar said.
"Oh my God, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Watching him come out of the plane was like watching a movie. It was horrible. I didn't know what to do," McGee said. "When I first came out of Aldi, there was an older man who grabbed my arm and said, 'Call 911! Call 911!' You're frozen, you know, when you see something like that."
"There was a person, with their hands in the air, on fire. It's something you never want to see, but it was just… incredible," Steimer said. "I came back into the store, and there was a gentleman running toward the store. He asked if I had a fire extinguisher. I handed that to him from the store and he took off. We were both going across and there was another explosion. I stopped, but he kept going."
Juan Moreno, who works at a nearby Chipotle, said he heard the commotion and left the restaurant to help. At the time, he thought a car had set fire, Moreno said.
He said two other men who were in the restaurant ran out to help as well. Moreno said he asked one of his customers what happened and the man replied: "'I just saw this guy on fire and I went out to help. I just pulled off my jacked to put out the flames."
Moreno said he saw what probably was part of a wing in the wreckage. But he said it was hard to tell that the metal parts in the parking lot were from an airplane.
What appeared to be a propeller was lying in the parking lot. A heap of mangled metal was lying near the cars that caught fire. What appeared to be white sheets of metal were curled into a pile near the bank building.
The bank building itself did not appear damaged. The three cars that caught fire looked charred inside and out. Police had cordoned off the area, keeping media and onlookers away.
Ray Castellano of Bolingbrook said police were keeping traffic away when the fire was still burning, and his wife drove up to the bank not knowing what had happened. His wife thought the bank was on fire.
Castellano was among a group of Bolingbrook residents at the scene who remembered an emergency landing that a pilot had made on Weber Road nearby in September 2008. That time, Castellano said, "Everyone was OK."
This time, authorities considered it fortunate that no one on the ground was hurt.
The FAA and NTSB are investigating the cause.
