How fast can a human being really run? For a long time, as unremarkable as it may seem, the believed limit was 25 to 26 miles per hour. Why so slow? The reasoning was that at around that speed, the stress and strain on muscles and ligaments would become too much for the body to bear and unavoidable injuries would result. This myth, however, has been definitively busted. In his multiple world record shattering performances, Usain Bolt has averaged top speeds of around 28 miles per hour – faster than any human has ever run and safely above the estimated 25 to 26 mph injury threshold. This of course sends us back to the initial question – how fast can a human being really run?
Possibly inspired by Bolt's record breaking and myth busting performances, new studies have been done to reinvestigate how far human running potential really goes. The result of these studies according to the Journal of Applied Physiology is that now, top human speed extends to around 35 to 40 miles per hour!
Why though, haven't we seen sprinters blazing down the track at these speeds yet? Apparently, it may actually just boil down to technique and training. The new studies have also shown that what does limit runners today is the speed at which their muscles have been conditioned to contract. Nevertheless, what this could mean for sprinting is that as modern training techniques improve so too could the top speeds. With runners like Usain Bolt already redefining how fast "fast" really is, who knows how far the human speed limit will really go?
The beauty in athletics, however, is that sometimes somehow someone finds a way to defy all expectations. In that spirit, how fast do you think a person could potentially run? Share your thoughts with us in the comment box below, on Facebook or on Twitter.

"Why should an African-American vote Republican?
"You really don't have a reason to, to be honest — we haven't done a very good job of really giving you one. True? True," Republican National Chairman Michael Steele told 200 DePaul University students Tuesday night….
Steele seemed to hold the diverse student audience's attention most when he talked about his own experience suffering racial discrimination — in his first law firm interview for example — and when he confessed his party's failure to reach out to African-Americans:
"We have lost sight of the historic, integral link between the party and African-Americans," Steele said. "This party was co-founded by blacks, among them Frederick Douglass. The Republican Party had a hand in forming the NAACP, and yet we have mistreated that relationship. People don't walk away from parties, Their parties walk away from them.
"For the last 40-plus years we had a 'Southern Strategy' that alienated many

Holiday homes in Candelaria are located away from Tenerife's tourist trail, on a part of the coastline dotted with fishing villages and natural volcanic beaches. This is an ideal spot for couples who want to be close to Tenerife's most popular destinations, but still able to unwind at a small patch of their own. Broaden the hunt for accommodation by taking a look at HomeAway's holiday rentals in Güimar.
All holiday apartments in Candelaria belong to modern developments, and so are carefully equipped to meet the needs of families and couples. Pools are offered by almost all rentals in this area, and inside guests will have facilities like internet access, satellite TV and fully appointed kitchens at their fingertips.
-Beaches: There are five beaches on the coastline next to Candelaria. Here there's less overt tourism and fewer crowds than in the big resorts to the south. One beach popular with locals is Playa de Candelaria, with half a kilometre of black volcanic sand and lively surf. A beach complemented by great facilities is Las Arenas. This one is especially popular with surfers.
-Heritage: It's a good idea to make time to see the Cave of Achbinico, which has been an important cultural site on the island for several thousand years. It is believed a sacred flame was kept alight here continuously for centuries. The cave sits behind the Basilica of Candelaria and features a Dominican hermitage. The Basilica itself has a number of lovely frescoes, while next to the sea outside it are a series of bronze statues representing nine aboriginal kings of Tenerife.
-Natural sights: There's eye-catching natural scenery all around Tenerife, an upshot of the island's turbulent volcanic geology. El Teide is unmissable; the peak of this huge volcano stands 3,718 metres above sea-level. On the northeast side of Tenerife is the Añaga range, which is a fine place for walks. The damper climate here has created dense and steamy laurel forest, which is fantastic to explore via hiking trails.
-Day trips: There's plenty to see and do within a short drive of Candelaria, so it's always worthwhile jumping in the car and seeing what's around. For history, the UNESCO World Heritage Site at San Cristóbal de la Laguna is essential. The beautiful renaissance layout of the old city was replicated at settlements across the Americas. Las Teresitas is a short drive north, and rightfully held as one of the best beaches in the entire Canary Islands.
-Diving: Diving is a favourite for holidaymakers on Tenerife. Everything combines to make it one of the best places in Europe to try out this activity—the water temperatures are comfortable, the currents are safe, there are plenty of great dive centres and, most importantly, there's a great deal to see underwater, with rich wildlife that includes green turtles, as well as tremendous volcanic caves and shipwrecks.
Tenerife's climate is fantastic, and helps to make the island a year-round holiday destination. In summer there are daily highs between 25 and 28?C and rainfall is very rare. Guests arriving at a Candelaria holiday home in winter won't have to wrap up either. Between November and March there's a bit more rain, but temperatures climb to the low-20s on most days throughout this season.
Tenerife has two main airports—Tenerife North (TFN) for domestic Spanish traffic and Tenerife South (TFS) for flights from abroad. Guests travelling to Candelaria apartments from the UK will be able to choose from a host of connections from UK airports to Tenerife South. Candelaria is located 45 kilometres from the airport, and the journey should take about half an hour by car on the TF-1. Public transport is an alternative via the 111 bus, which departs every half an hour from the airport.

My husband and I are very sexually active people. Actually, for years, we were lovers before we decided that we were in love with each other and that we want to make our relationship official. Later on, we got married. Even from the very start, we were allowed to date other people. That was a really fun thing to do as we both found different lovers that taught us different things that spiced up our marriage from time to time. However, the real fun started once we discovered Eronavt.com.
The reason for this is the fact that, honestly, we run out of ideas for fun in the bedroom. Now, we do something that we call "erotic movie roulette". We go to http://www.Eronavt.com, go the "Most popular" category and click on the XXX videoclip with our eyes closed. Then, we watch the video together and perform the whole plot from the video on our own. There are no boundaries as both of us would do anything just to make our sex life fun.
One of the most amazing things that happened when we played our little game was when we clicked on a porno video of a hot girl that masturbated for the camera, wearing black latex boots. Certainly, I was thrilled that I was to buy new, sexy boots, but the idea of masturbating in front of my husband was a little bit weird for me. However, a deal is a deal, so I agreed, and we set the date for that evening.
I set the mood with some candlelight, a little bit of wine and soft music in the background. I prepared a seat for my husband in front of the bed and I appeared on the door, wearing nothing but hot, latex boots. I sat in front of my hubby and spread my legs, staring into his eyes. Then I slipped my hand and covered my entire pussy. Slowly, I slipped only the tip of my middle finger inside and pulled it our sensually so that I could smear my juice all over my clit.
The moment I touched my clit, I felt that warm feeling inside my twat. The feeling that makes me want to jam a big dick inside my pussy and keep jamming it until I come. But, I had a scene to act, so I restrained myself from jumping on my husband's cock just yet.
I kept massaging my pussy that was now dripping wet. My husband couldn't keep his eyes from it, and he stared at it like he had never seen it before. The excitement hit the roof the moment I took his hand and put two of his fingers inside my twat. You could see his dick jump the moment he felt the heat on his fingers and the juice that was all sticky and warm. He couldn't keep it in his pants anymore after that, so he jumped at me and ravished me! From that moment on, we keep playing our little game, whenever we can. Watch these porno videos at Eronavt.com!

Amarillo, Texas - The Amarillo Police Department says they've responded to dozens of vehicle wrecks and stranded vehicles.
Since midnight they estimate they've received around 230 calls. They tell us 50 of those calls were in response to stranded vehicles. Officers say they are finding multiple cars stranded when responding to a location.
Area towing companies have also been helping out. One company we spoke with says they responded to five stranded police cars this morning.
Response times for Amarillo Police and Fire Departments are slower than usual right now.
The Amarillo Fire Department says they encourage residents not to go out in this weather.
Amarillo Police have a limited number of vehicles equipped with four wheel drive and several police vehicles have already had to be towed after getting stuck during assistance calls.
The less trucks they have tied up responding to stuck vehicles, the better their response time can be for other emergencies.

By Katherine Stopa
To be frank, there has never been much love for the viola (or violists). As an erstwhile violist I would get two types of reactions about my instrument of choice: from non-musicians, "what's a viola?" and from musicians… well just Google "viola jokes" and it will return some real doozies:
How do you keep your violin from getting stolen?
Put it in a viola case.
Why don't violists play hide and seek?
Because no one will look for them.
What do you call the cadenza in a viola concerto?
Comic relief.
How is a symphony viola section like the Beatles?
Neither has played together for years.
Why is a viola like a grenade?
When you hear it, it's too late!
The Grove Music Online entry on the viola cites that the "instrument of the middle" even back in 1752 was, as noted by J.J. Quantz (Versuch, 1752), perceived as
"…of little importance in the musical establishment. The reason may well be that it is often played by persons who are either still beginners in the ensemble or have no particular gifts with which to distinguish themselves on the violin, or that the instrument yields all too few advantages to its players, so that able people are not easily persuaded to take it up. I maintain, however, that if the entire accompaniment is to be without defect, the violist must be just as able as the second violinist."
I get it; the viola does look a lot like a violin, a viola solo is rare, the parts written for it are often deemed as mundane accompaniments, and many transposed pieces for the viola are awkwardly executed. I will admit that I did not dream of becoming a violist at first; in fact the only reason I made the transition was because my string ensemble desperately needed viola players. However, I quickly fell in love with its darker and richer tones, a quality which has been increasingly appreciated by composers, performers, and audiences.
For the first 250 or so years of its existence, solo viola compositions were few and far between. However a notable increase was seen in the 19th century with famed pieces such as The Viola Concerto in D by Carl Stamitz. The 20th century also saw an increase in solo pieces which may have been inspired by a wave of world class violists such as Paul Hindemith or William Primrose. More recently, conductor John Williams premiered his Concerto for Viola and Orchestra in 2007, and Nicholas Hersh arranged and conducted Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for Orchestra and Solo Viola for the Indiana University Studio Orchestra.
With an array of beloved string quartets and quintets, the viola is "most at home" with chamber music. It is through this type of music that the viola (and violist) is often used to the fullest. Many works by "classical" greats such as Beethoven and Shostakovich reveal the viola's register and timbre in both solo and polyphonic contexts. Duets are another arena that violists revel in. For example, Halvorsen's Passcaglia for Violin and Viola (based on a theme by Handel) has become one of the more celebrated works in the viola's repertoire. It was famously performed by Itzhak Perlman (violin) and Pinchas Zukerman (viola) in 1997, which you can see in the video below. Note the witty repartee between Perlman and Zukerman at the beginning of the video, with Zukerman proclaiming "a violin is easy to play. But a viola is something special!"
One time, during a string ensemble rehearsal of Bach's Air on a G String, our teacher said, "I just want to hear the viola part on its own, as it is the most beautiful part of the piece." After we gladly performed our part for our fellow players, rehearsal resumed with the next piece, one in which the viola section served as accompaniment, playing yet another banal alto part (choral singers will understand). But that's okay, if violists are anything we're team players.

Lasker's Manual of Chess is one of the greatest chess books ever written. The fact that it was first published over 80 years ago has diminished neither its relevance nor significance in today's modern chess world. Lasker was both a wonderful fighter and a deep thinker; his book is the quintessence of the exceptionally successful experiences he had over many long years, and his thoughts about them.

To Fischer, chess is a highly competitive sport which requires not only meticulous opening preparation, a high state of tactical alertness and perfect technique, but also a constant striving for the initiative, immense will to win and even calculated risk-taking.

Garry Kasparov is arguably the greatest chess player who has ever lived. In 1997 he played a chess match against IBM's computer Deep Blue. Kasparov lost the match. This film shows the match and the events surrounding it from Kasparov's perspective. It delves into the psychological aspects of the game, paranoia surrounding it and suspicions that have arisen around IBM's true tactics. It consists of interviews with Kasparov, his manager, chess experts, and members of the IBM Deep Blue team, as well as original footage of the match itself.
MOVIE - Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine
The 1958 Interzonal Chess Tournament in Portoroz was one of the most important and strongest tournaments in chess history, and is still regularly discussed in chess circles today. This is the tournament where the 15-year-old Bobby Fischer earned the grandmaster title and first became a contender for the World Chess Championship. It is also the tournament where Mikhail Tal finally got his first chance to compete in a grandmaster tournament outside of the Soviet Union, and started one of the longest non-losing streaks in chess history on his march to the World Chess Championship.

Wear 32 - Thirty Two Lashed Snowboard Boots for men when you want to whip the course, and your competition. 32 is the number to know for snowboard gear that is geared to giving you a great day on the slopes, every day. The dashing Thirty Two Lashed boot features advanced integrated lacing design, and riders know that boot laces are where flawless fit, injury-free performance and superior board feel starts. Experience the advantage of EVA molded midsoles that provide a stable, supportive surface without adding weight to your boot. Ergonomic heel design, built-in ankle stabilization and advanced lining ensure a secure and anatomically correct fit, while the articulated cuff will not restrict range of motion when you are navigating the halfpipe or hitting the moguls.
Excellent boots, always warm and dry. During warm spring days feet don't sweat and even on the coldest days they stay warm. I just don't like laces, takes a while to tighten them.
excellent boots, always warm and dry. during warm spring days feet don't sweat and even on the coldest days they stay warm. just don't like laces, takes a while to tighten them
I have wide feet and other boots do not accomodate as well as 32. Bought these used and only had 1 day on them and I got them heat molded to my feet and I was golden for the rest of the season. I liked them so much, I bought another pair as a back-up.
The fit of the 32 Lashed is hard to explain. The issue with the fit is the inner lining. For some reason there is an odd amount of extra space where the heel is. I think the shape of the liner is made that the heel portion sits deeper than the normal foot shape. I have asked several friends to try it on and they had the same issue. Even when fully tightened, there is space behind the heel. The lining does however hug behind the ankle and calf, so there isn't any heel slip, which negates the space behind the heel. I did try to size down but my toes wouldnt fit comfortable into an 8.5, so I don't think that was the issue. This boot, I think is meant for people with wider feet, people with narrow feet will not have a good fit even when fully tightened because of the width of the sole. I would say it has a mid flex, forgiving enough for park laps but is definitely not a noodle and will be good enough for those who bomb down the mountain. Overall it is a great boot (2008) and very durable, rode this on and off from 2010 DC park boot, this is a bit stiffer, and probably about the same weight, but has a wider fit.
I rode these for a season and they packed out so much I could not ride them again. When they did fit I loved the way they rode, nice and supportive.
These are excellent boots. They take a few hours of riding to break in adequately, but once broken in they're a dream. I liked that they were heat molded to my feet, that made them comfortable even through the breaking in period. The liner lacing system does a great job of locking the heel and liner down to the boot, keeps the foot dry and warm. Even on sub-zero days, my feet have never been cold. These boots are extremely light and don't have a bulky feeling. Overall, awesome boot, plus they look sick.

Tick Bite Facts
As long as ticks are removed within 24 hours of attachment, pathogens will generally not be transmitted; however, the victim should also be tested for infections just to be sure.
Tickborne diseases in the US
Lyme disease is the most commonly known disease people get from tick bites. It is commonly misspelled as Lime disease. Lyme disease is named after the town Old Lyme, CT.
Other tickborne diseases: Tularemia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF, Southern Tick Associate Rash Illness (STARI), Ehrilichiosis, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Rickettsia, Parkeri Rickettsiosis, 364D Rickettsiosis, Tickborne Relapsing Fever (TBRF).
Tick Myths
Myth: A hot match, rubbing alcohol, fingernail polish or petroleum jelly will cause a tick to back out of a bite. FACT: The only way to remove a tick completely is to pull it out slowly with SANITIZED, NEEDLE-NOSE TWEEZERS. DO NOT use flat or blunt tweezers, this could cause the tick to break in half and squeeze germs into the bite.
Myth: Ticks will jump from trees and high areas onto passing victims. FACT: It is rare to see a tick any higher than a couple feet and some ticks are even blind and would not be able to see where they were jumping.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay Packers' defensive end Mike Neal is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's home game against Detroit.
Neal did not practice all week due to a shoulder injury suffered almost two weeks ago. He has also had other shoulder problems throughout his short NFL career.
Right tackle T.J. Lang returned to practice Friday, after hurting an ankle last Sunday against Minnesota. Lang is listed as questionable for the Lions' game – and the same goes for linebacker Terrell Manning as he recovers from an injured shoulder. Both Lang and Manning were limited at practice Friday.
Corner Sam Shields practiced fully Friday, as he gets over a high ankle sprain. He's listed as probable for Sunday night. Receiver Donald Driver – who missed last week's game with a bad thumb – is also probable, along with center Jeff Saturday.
Five Packers have been ruled out – receiver Jordy Nelson, running back James Starks, and defensive players Clay Matthews, C.J. Wilson, and Charles Woodson. Nelson aggravated a hamstring injury last Sunday before the Viking game.
Coach Mike McCarthy expects Matthews and Woodson to return for the December 16th game at Chicago, which could be for the NFC North Division crown.

National Rifle Association said it wants to see armed guards in every school.

Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA.
The polarizing
comment was made in response to last week's deadly shooting rampage in Newtown,
The NRA's
position drew mixed comments from people in the Baton Rouge area.
don't really think an armed guard is going to do that much good, because I
think if somebody wants to get into the school, they're going to get into
it," said one man.
don't think there should be an armed guard standing right there, but I do think
that they should have some type of protective measures for the children,"
added a woman.
guess it's necessary sometimes, especially with the recent stuff that's been
going on," said another woman. "I know at my high school I had a
policeman on staff. I guess it just adds to the level of security."

teacher and I don't think having more guns at schools is really going to solve
the problem."

Blackberry House has new owners
bread and pastries has been a life-long dream for Aaron
Tuski, 26, of Blaine, the new co-owner of the Blackberry
House café.
It began for him in his parent's kitchen just "throwing stuff together," he said.
"A lot of it wasn't real edible, but it was fun," he said. "My mom put up with it."
Now, Tuski has an opportunity to live that dream. He and his wife, Kelly, 24, purchased the restaurant last week and opened for business on Monday, September 19.
They sold out of Tuski's made-from-scratch cinnamon rolls by 10:30 a.m. on their first day.
"I'm going to make twice as much for tomorrow," he said.
Tuski, a 1998 graduate of Blaine high school, said customers can expect the same menu as before but with additions of made-from-scratch baked goods such as cinnamon rolls, scones, specialty desserts and wedding cakes.
Also, Tuski said former business hours will be extended to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, possibly capturing an underutilized niche – that is, the lack of late-night establishments in Blaine. Tuski said there is a decent amount of young adults in Blaine who have nowhere to go. His solution? Late-night coffee, desserts by the slice, and possible Survivor nights on Thursdays.
"When I was in high school, the only place to hang out was Denny's," he said. "Younger residents either stay home or go to Bellingham. We're going to bring back Friday nights."
Tuski earned his Associates of Arts degree in pastry baking and confections from Bellingham Technical College in 2002. He also attended Northwest Baptist College in British Columbia.
After college, Tuski baked breads and desserts for the Semiahmoo Resort. In 2003, he moved to Seattle where he met Kelly and worked for the Great Harvest Bread Company. At the time, Kelly was attending Gonzaga University in Eastern Washington, working on an Associate of Arts degree in sociology and playing varsity soccer. The two met during their summer vacation, playing church softball near Kelly's hometown of Edmonds.
The following year, Tuski moved back to Blaine to save money for more college while working at Automated Mailing Services (AMS), but then decided to buy the Blackberry House instead. He is still employed by AMS.
The two were married in August of 2004 in Mount Vernon, shortly after Kelly's graduation and both work as assistant soccer coaches at Blaine high school. Kelly is also a ministry coordinator at Blaine Christian Fellowship.
The Blackberry House is located at 321 H Street in Blaine and can be reached by calling 332-9556.

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.
It looks like we are officially done bitching about the cold and have jumped right into complaining about the heat. Anyone who's ever said they don't want to move to an area with a warm climate because they'd "miss the seasons" should be punched in the throat.
I've always been a fan of the term "Heebie-Jeebies". It's just a lot of fun to say, hear, and read. Try it yourself. I'll wait. Fun, right? Trent Haaga on the other hand I could take or leave. He created the much discussed "Deadgirl" and has lined up a new film about a small town that comes under attack by a strange monster. The title is "Heebie-Jeebies". I kind of thought that was implied.
Hollywood hot dog (I don't know what that means) Ridley Scott has dropped the bomb that the version of "Prometheus" we will see and enjoy on June 8th will indeed be a director's cut and be edited from his original version. He then goes on to explain that this pretty much happens in every movie ever made and that it's not really a big deal. I'm sorry this is the worst news item I've ever posted.
Jared Harris, who plays the saucy Britt on "Mad Men" has been cast in the upcoming Hammer Horror flick "The Quiet Ones". Harris will play a professor who leads his students in a dangerous experiment trying to produce a poltergeist. Based on the title of the film I assume there are no spoken words. Should be exciting.
"Well, it's a possibility". That's what Bill Murray said in a recent interview when questioned about "Ghostbusters 3". Move along now.
Leaving your child in the car so you can go into a bar and apply for a job is pretty bad but I think people can sort of understand if you're looking to support the little toddler. Staying after you apply to do shots though, people are going to be kind of pricks about that whole thing.
Headless chickens in Central Park? Possibly a voodoo ritual? If they're making "The Serpent and the Rainbow" into a musical I'm moving out of the tri-state area.
"No one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts!". Very funny Mr. Bill Murray but I beg to differ. But apparently that's the note he included in a box he sent to Dan Aykroyd and Ivan Reitman that also contained a shredded copy of the current "Ghostbusters 3" script. Look I get the guy is trying to be all Mr. indie and stuff but he also did not one but two "Garfield" movies so what's say ya make with the funny and go put on the pack, buddy.
Here's the first trailer for "Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection". If you just read that sentence and got excited then you might want to see some sort of specialist. You probably don't need to know the plot but there's some zombies obviously and a bunch of people held up on a farm. More importantly it looks like it was shot on a VHS camera from the mid-80's.
The year is winding down and it's a slow ass news day so here's some details on the upcoming "Shark Night" Blu-Ray release. A survival guide, some extra scenes and a clips of people being frightened by a fake shark will be included on the disc that will be released on January 3rd. Unfortunately the movie "Shark Night" will also be included so it's a toss up if you want to get it or not.
"Man Dies After Eating Cocaine Hidden in His Brother's Butt". That is all.
And to keep the 'China White' fun going, here's a study that found cocaine was on 90% of the baby changing tables they tested in public locations. This explains why my little bundle of joy is so happy after we change her at the mall. Of course an hour later she's throwing crap at us and slurring like Keith Richards.
"Troll Hunter" is a Norwegian film about a group of students who hunt trolls. See where they got the name from? Well the clever PR folks have put up an official application so you can become an honorary troll hunter. Sounds awesome, right? Sure the entire application is in Norwegian but who doesn't speak that these days. Those Viking lovers are so hot right now.
To capture the magic of Bill Murray's appearance in "Zombieland" the makers of "Zombieland 2" are currently on the hunt for a star of equal caliber to make a surprise appearance. No surprise there, unless you haven't gotten around to seeing the first film yet in which case I apologize for ruining the surprise for you. I'm a bad person.
Here's a trailer for "Grave Encounter's", a new found footage film about a group of reality show hosts who go around looking at haunted houses. The catch is apparently they actually find something. Not like those ass clowns on "River Monsters", they haven't found one actual monster.
Am I the only one who still gets Judd Nelson and Robert Downey Jr. mixed up? I can't be. Well anyway here's a trailer for the new sci-fi/horror flick called "Shadow People" staring "Iron Man" himself. Wait, no... the other one. Which one was in "The Breakfast Club"? Yeah that one, he's the guy in this movie.
Dan Aykroyd has fired off some info around the upcoming "Ghostbusters 3" film and here's a short run down. Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver are still in. Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Eliza Dushku are still maybes. And lastly no confirmation on me, but I assume my offer is coming any day now.
Hey Harry Potter sickos! Warner Bros. has trademarked Quidditch lingerie so in the off chance you can convince a woman to actually come over to your parent's basement, soon you'll have something creepy to ask her to put on.
I'm pretty sure this is how "Repo Men" started. A Russian man who forked over cash for his girlfriends breast implants now wants his assets back that they've broken up. Alright so he isn't going to go over to her house and take them back, but the hospital may. Probably not in a back alley or anything cool though. We can hope.
Bill Murray continues to stir up "Ghostbusters III" talk. During his appearance on last night;s "Late Show With David Letterman", he confirms that he will be killed off early in the script and states that he doubts the film will ever be made.
Everyone's favorite ginger snap Katherine Isabelle is returning in "Hard Ride To Hell", a story about a group of campers who find themselves in danger after witnessing a blood sacrifice. The film will debut on Spike TV before the DVD hits on May 18th.
Area23A, an event based distribution company, has picked up the rights to "Best Worst Movie". If you've been dying to lay eyes on this documentary centered on the 'classic' "Troll 2", your dreams are about to come true as the company plans a theatrical release.
Keep your eyes on your local art house theater; the recent midnight screenings of "Evil Dead" have been doing so well that Grindhouse Releasing has struck a new 35mm print of the film. With showings selling out, the company plans on keeping the film going for quite awhile. Stay tuned to the Grindhouse Releasing website to see if they add a city near you.

"The Descent 2" is finally scheduled for release here in the states, but it will not be getting a theatrical release. Heading straight to DVD, look for the sequel on April 27th.
Bill Murray confirms that he will be in "Ghostbusters III" but wishes he was dead for doing so. That is to say, he will only go back if he gets to play a ghost.
It appears the prequel for "The Thing" is moving forward, as Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton have been cast for the film.

Remember that rumor earlier this week about Bill Murray playing a ghost in "Ghostbusters 3"? Turns out Sigourney Weaver was just having a little fun at your expense. Oh, Sigourney!
Writer/director Victor Salva really hopes that "Jeeper Creepers 3" will have a proper theatrical release. MGM, meanwhile, isn't so sure.
Although it isn't technically a horror film, it's worth noting that the new trailer for Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" has appeared online. Honestly, I'm pretty excited about this one.
Additionally, the latest trailer for the high-concept remake of "Clash of the Titans" features a tasty little glimpse of the updated Medusa and the Kraken. My skepticism is quickly waning.
If you think you can rip off the library, think again. An Iowa woman was jailed for not returning the 53 movies she'd borrowed from her local branch.

Here's your "bang your head off your desk" story for Monday morning. "Videodrome" is being remade at Universal as a "large-scale sci-fi thriller". Oh boy, that's up there with one of the worst sentences I've ever had to type on this site.
But wait... there's more to this story than meets the eye. Universal has also put Gore Verbinski's adaptation of "Bioshock" on hiatus because of money concerns. So let's recap. The same company that doesn't have money for the amazing original property "Bioshock", does have the money to remake a dumbed down version of "Videodrome" as some sort of big budget action/sci-fi movie. Kind of gives you the warm & fuzzies, doesn't it?
It's being reported that Robert Rodriguez is aiming to shoot "Machete", the full version of his "Grindhouse" trailer, in June. Danny Trejo to star. This should be interesting.
Cop resigns after admitting to paying 16 year old boy for the "pleasure" of shocking his nuts with a dog collar. Nothing to see here folks, just clean, wholesome family fun.
Japanese pop star found naked in a public park in Tokyo, screaming his fool head off about how there was "nothing wrong with being naked". Certainly not. Carry on.
I'm not a huge science fiction fan, but I've seen enough of the films to know that anything being described as a "space blob" is bad news. Trust me.
1940: Heinrich Himmler gives orders to construct a concentration camp in Oswiecim, Poland. Only 14 months later, Auschwitz is open for business.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Can Microsoft Rise Above the Gang of Four?
Luke is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With all the media attention currently being showered on the technology sector's favored sons-Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN)-(AKA-The Gang of Four), former goliath Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) finds itself in the uneasy position of underdog. Each company has its own area of expertise. Google has clinched the search market. Facebook dominates social networking. Amazon is the master of online commerce. Apple is a leader in electronic devices. It seems as if there is still room for a fifth element that controls software. Unfortunately, the shark tank world of information technology is not that simple. The future of Microsoft depends on four major factors: customer shift to mobile devices, online retail, social media and cloud services.
Shift to Mobile is a Game Changer
As information makes the shift to mobile platforms, the risk for Microsoft is the possibility of getting squeezed out of the operating systems game in the very near future. Apple and Google both have dominated the mobile world with their respective OS and Android products. Microsoft has delivered on its long anticipated Windows Phone 7, but it looks a bit dated and has not excited buyers. The jury is still out on Microsoft's entrant into the tablet arena. Although the advertising campaign seems first-rate, some worry that the Surface may have been brought to market tardy, (a recurring case of too little too late), in a market that already has the Amazon Kindle, Apple's iPad and Mini and others. Although some features seem innovative, the version that includes Windows ARM operating system (a more mobile but somewhat scaled back version of Windows 8 Pro) does not allow the download of third-party software unless it is developed using Windows Runtime (WinRT) (these can be purchased from the Windows Store). In addition, there is pressure from the non-mobile side from Google as they release (with Samsung) their super light and affordable Chromebook (which uses the Chrome operating system). In addition, Google may release what has been tentatively named the X Phone this year. It is being developed by Motorola (recently purchased by Google) and may include new image and gesture recognition functions. Rumors abound regarding a possible X Tablet coming to market soon after. Google's Project Glass, an augmented reality head-mounted display (think high-tech eyeglasses) hit the runways in fashion shows this year. Facebook is currently struggling to make money through its ads on mobile devices. Unfortunately for Microsoft, I don't see ground-breaking mobile innovation coming out of their hardware stables right now.
Online Retail is Booming
If anyone wonders about the future of online retail, this year's Christmas sales should settle the matter. Black Friday e-commerce sales increased 26% this year to produce a record-breaking $1 billion in sales. Amazon benefitted the most directly from this with its impressive share of the online retail market (around 30%). Google has benefited through its search engine and Google AdWords program.
A bright spot for Microsoft on the hardware side of the game (which could lead to growth in online sales) is the Xbox and Xbox Live product line. The Entertainment and Devices division which controls Xbox sales reported annual operating income (YTD) thru June 30, 2010, of $679 million. With the promotion of its Kinect system and the new XBox 720, the company thinks that number can get much bigger. At the very least, Xbox Live gives Microsoft a window into middle-America's living room that is the envy of the tech world. It is up to them to monetize it to its maximum potential.
Another potential source of online revenue (this time, in the search engine category) is Bing which has not been well-received and has cost the company a significant chunk of its treasure. Marketed as the newer, better alternative to google.com, the product failed to entice internet users to change over and has commanded only 15% of online searches. Hopefully, they will abandon or fix this fool's errand before it goes the way of Zune music player and destroys more shareholder value and further embarrasses the company.
Is Social Media Worth the Price?
Facebook has a commanding share of social media but November 2012 data shows a loss of 100 million visits. Google+ lost half of its meager 1.29% share in November, as well. This could indicate that consumers are suffering from social media fatigue. Microsoft has also released its version of a social media network called Socl but has not spent much on promoting it. In this case, bringing up the rear may benefit Microsoft. The entire social media genre seems to rely on the promises of "clicks to cash" which were so prevalent just prior to the dot.com bust of the 1990s. Facebook's product, unlike Apple's iPhone or Google's search engine or Microsoft's Windows 8 (for that matter) is not a must-use-on-a-daily basis kind of product. Until, they break down that wall, I am skeptical. Facebook's stock seems to have caveat emptor written all over it.
Cloud Services Are a Growing Business
Estimates place Amazon's Web Services Division's cloud services revenue at around $1 billion. No wonder both Google and Microsoft have entered the market. It is too soon to tell how Microsoft's Windows Azure will compete against new and established competitors in the field. But, again, Microsoft brings up the rear on innovation.
As a kid, my friends and I would try to figure out the thrust of bottle rockets by tying fishing sinkers to them. When I think of Microsoft, with all its positives and negatives, those gunpowder missiles trying to hoist various weights against the force of gravity comes to mind. Can its intellectual horsepower overcome its sluggish innovation and lethargic execution to once again become a rising force in technology?
Apple suffers from innovation expectancy, whereby they are only as good as their next world-changing product (which of course is unsustainable). The question is whether that expectation is baked into the current stock price. Will Apple TV be their jumping of the shark? Facebook has many of the same symptoms of companies in the 90s tech boom (translating eyeballs to dollars). And with dubious purchases such as the $1 billion Instagram purchase, I wonder about their leadership's decision-making ability. Amazon and Google have their fingers in enough of the right things to maintain a strong presence.
Apple, Amazon, and Google are not going away anytime soon but I think there is enough wind in Microsoft's "sales" to unseat Facebook as number four.
The future depends on Windows 8.

Keep us updated... About to also place an order.
Up ten pounds, strength increasing to the point that I feel like I have to back off to spare the joints, wife making comments and "touching" more than usual . . .
600mg test e, 300mg NPP weekly
Introduced the NPP after 7 days and 50 mg daily dbol after 14 days.
Keep us updated... About to also place an order.
Looks good, keep grinding
2 ccs in the thigh this morning, no pain.
Up 13 pounds now and LEANER than when I started which is not my goal for this cycle, so I am trying to eat more . . .
NEXT cycle will be for cutting.
I want pics GDI
Bump for update?
Went from 204 and pudgy (abs not visible) to 222 and rock hard, with abs showing, meaning I got leaner while gaining weight. I am at the tail end of the cycle now, an end I hastened by increasing the dosages to 900 test / 400 NPP, which was great!
I will probably cruise at 250-300 for a while and then up the dosages, hit the cardio, reduce calories, T3, clen, and get cut up for summer.
How were ur joints with the npp?? Did you smell because of the carrier oil, I think they said it was phenol?

Using it for the first time on this trip. So far, so good. I'll see how it holds up on the return. It is pretty roomy, though.
Its was a great pack. but was much larger then I expected. I returned it only to purchase 2 others, a bit smaller and love them, we put them right to work out of the box. thanks, SG.
Excellent bargain being that it was a Fox Tactical product.
Lots of room, numerous compartments and hydration bag compatable. Very well designed, lots of flexibility in packing. Have two of them now. Had to settle for another color, since the tan has been unavailable for 6 months, and I was tired of waiting on backorder.
Received this pack with a hole in one of the seems. I contacted Sportsman's Guide and they corrected the problem right away. I love the Sportsman's Guide!

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia man accused in the fatal shooting of Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum has been ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.
Media outlets report Circuit Judge Paul Farrell ordered the evaluation for Tennis Melvin Maynard at a pretrial hearing Wednesday in Huntington.
Crum was killed April 3 while parked in his cruiser in downtown Williamson.
Maynard's father has previously said his son has mental health issues, and evidence collected by former Mingo County Prosecutor Michael Sparks included orders of involuntary hospitalizations.
The hearing marked the first for Kanawha County prosecutors, who were assigned to the case after Sparks recused himself in September. Sparks later resigned after he was charged in a separate case that grew out of an ongoing federal corruption probe.

St-Feuillien / Green Flash: Belgian Coast IPA
what ppl like is what ppl like and this person likes this ALOT.
exactly what I've always wanted. west coast style ipa with Belgian body. I HAVE BEEN AND ALWAYS SHALL BE YOUR FRIEND.
Green Flash Brewing Barleywine Style Ale
"Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up!"
this beer is a liquid form of travis bickle… maybe not, but thats exactly the quote that came to my mind the second i tasted this. a strong punch and a strong ale; malted and seasoned, with a long lasting after taste of hops. im not really a barelywine expert, but im loving the big carbonation and big alcohol content
these two i've saved as my birthday beer, and as i will be in portland next weekend; im having them tonite.
St Feuillien and Green Flash colab
still a really fucking heady pour, but i saved a bottle, and am glad i did… the pic is the pour of this… HEAD FOR DAYS… and i think my pallet is up to this pay grade now :)
Fuck man, this is my FAVORITE beer. bar none…. and i never can get it locally again :(
(allagash doesn't ship to WA anymore)… but thanks to mike i got one for my bday. i owe him some beer and a hug.
Green Flash Brewing Co: Grand Cru
Grade: B
SO MUCH MALT. OMFG. you like malty beers? …. JESUS H CHRIST, DRINK THIS ONE. its too malty for me, but at least it has balance.
Tasting Notes: Malts Malts Malts Malts Malts (pretend you're singing meow mix song)
Green Flash Brewing Co: Trippel
Grade: B (really an A for non-Belgian beer lovers)
its cold outside, and i want heavy, boozy beers… if not, i'll have some single-malt scotch. belgian style beers are perfect winters beers, and this is a great winter beer. sweet, malty, boozy, blah blah blah, etc. actual "belgian" beers from "belgia" have this specific and special flavor profile—an almost razor sharp malt that cuts through any flavored mayo dip you may be using on your pomme frites. this beer does not have that, but it has the spirit of the breed. its the easiest drinking trippel i've ever had, which isn't a bad thing and im going to buy some for my pops as his "belgian-style beer starter kit"
Tasting Notes: Honey, Grain Mill Dust, Roasted Red Peppers, Raspberry … tastes like Journey
Green Flash Brewing Co: Imperial India Pale Ale
Grade: B+
this one is on the sweeter side of the IPA spectrum, and personally, that not my thing. but, this is a GREAT beer. the same ppl who like the avery style super malty IPAs, will LOVE this one. i love it! i made my dad buy two!
Tasting Notes: Caramel, Wheat, Pepper, Honey, Bioflavinoids.
Pairs Well With: Spicy Hot Wings, Thai Curry (4-5 stars), Strippers (of any race/gender/sexual preference/hair color that goes with spicy food of your preference)
Green Flash & Brasserie St. Feuillien: Bière De L'Amitié
Grade: Strange
what a strange beer. firstly, its a really heady pour… no mater how slow or dainty i do it…. its like the foam of ages. and wow, its spicy, with a totally ascorbic aftertaste. and very peaty… like an islay whisky. this one might be above the pay grade of my palette. advanced beer is advanced.
Tasting Notes: Licorice, Taro, Mushrooms (crimini), Sea Water, Honey, Barley Wine, Pizza

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) - More snow is on the way for parts of upstate New York as officials in one Hudson Valley city still work on removing the snow that fell during last week's big storm.
The storm dumped 21 inches of snow on the city of Poughkeepsie Thursday and Friday. Some streets remained clogged with snow into the weekend, prompting the mayor to declare a state of emergency on Sunday.
The Poughkeepsie Journal reports that the state of emergency is still in effect Tuesday and schools will remain closed until it's over. School officials say they don't want students walking in the street because many sidewalks haven't been cleared from the previous storm.
Forecasts call for up to three inches of new snow by Tuesday afternoon in parts of the Hudson Valley.
