Good Questions: What Color Walls with Red Furniture?
Kristen is looking for some color advice: I adore this red cabinet, but have no idea what color walls work with red furniture. I want it for the dining room of my 90 year old condo, which is currently is a pale yellow with lots of white trim.
Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Can I leave it? I want the room to be young, fun and interesting - not a mess of primary colors.
What do you think? Leave the pale yellow walls or go in a new direction? Let Kristen know in the comments...

I think I'd like to see some chocolate brown walls, or a nice warm mustard-with-some-pumpkin-in-it or something.
Creamy Ivory. If you don't have any vintage ivory laying around the house, find a piece of vintage French Ivory/Pyralin/Celluloid at an antique store and match it.
Ivory sounds good. BM's White linen has an ivory cast to it. And it would still look good with your white trim. It holds itself well with bright colors. And that is a FABULOUS cabinet. Love that color.
A slightly bluish gray is my pic. Love tomato red with that - it'll pop.
i love the cabinet too. it looks almost orangey-red on my computer. Either way, i would consider a very bold black and white palette. Graphic stripes or another pattern (damask?) throughout, and then you can use this red color wherever you like...
and maybe some bright oranges here and there...
Every color works with Red.
But my favorites are Blue (Navy? Ocean? Powder?), Dark Brown, or a bright Apple Green.
Red furniture seems to be a current trend, and I actually like it very much. I have a large cabinet from Afghanistan that has a lot of embellishment but comes across as mainly red, and I love it. The ivory suggestion is intriguing.
The creamy yellow sounds good, or perhaps minty green or baby blue. It's a lovely piece of furniture!
I'm partial to camel and red.
Red? It looks pretty orange in the photo!
In any case, you're creating a color palette for the whole room, not just a backdrop for the piece alone. The wall color has to help tie all the furnishings in the room together.
The theory behind picking a palette of hues is pretty well established (http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-theory-intro.htm#color_harmonies), and also consider how value and saturation hold all those hues together.
I think a medium-value wall color would exploit that "red-orange" very well-- rich chocolate brown for an analogous color scheme; or dusty blue for a compliment.
I vote for blueish gray as well. It's a nice neutral without being too bland!
I recognize that photo setting from Nadeau. Great pick!
I know it's considered trendy by some, but I vote for a peacock blue-green/aqua blue color.

How about a cool gray with a green hue. Red and green are my favorite complimentary colors.
Try BM Ivory Tusk--it works great with strong colors.
Or, one of their "greiges" like Stonington Gray. But I agree with the poster above re a palette for the whole room.
I have a deep red couch and for my walls i used a color by sherman willams (i think?) called Torchlight. It looked really nice.
If you had this color of blouse, what color skirt or pants would you wear with it?
Granny Smith apple green, or medium grey.
Buy the cabinet, then decide.
Ivory, camel, or blue-grey for contrast.
Go with complimentary colors. Red and green are complimentary. So are orange and blue. So are yellow and purple.
This is a cross between red and orange, so I would contrast the walls with a greenish-blue color. That way, you get the green for the red, AND the blue for the orange in the piece.
I vote for a greenish blue, like a shade of greenish turquoise aqua.
I'm hearing a lot of suggestions for strong contrast colors, some of which are cool colors. Mixing cools and warms creates a muddy palette and you don't want a contrast color strong enough to detract from the cabinet. Pale yellow is fine. Antique ivory is great and greys would look good as long as you pick warm earthy tones to compliment the red.
I would buy the cabinet, pick a few colors you like and test them in the room where you can see the effect light plays on them. Rather then wasting money on a bunch of sample pots I like to get a handful of the paper samples to create one large enough to be useful.
(Just remember to take them back when you buy your paint.)
A very light blue. I still think that the combination of light blue with a bold red is one of the best color-combos.
Red can function almost as a neutral, these days. I'd decide based on whatever else will be in the space and the light level and the general architecture of the room. It would look dramatic against a dark color, but if that would make the room oppresive rather than cozy, it would also look good with lighter colors, which would give it a totally different mood and flavor.
I think red with light yellow or light blue seems rather Scandanavian. With dark green or navy, slightly traditional. With bright green or full intensity hues of almost any color, it becomes tropical -- Caribbean, maybe. With white and blue, obviously, patriotic. With black and white (and maybe metallic gold), it seems Asian.
You can probably make it work in any decor, so if you love it, bring it home and work out the details as you go!
teal... yep teal...
I agree with lizzapearl - a treasured piece of furniture is harder to find than a paint color. Let the red cabinet sit in your yellow room for a few weeks and see how you like living with it. My guess is that it will look fine. If you don't care for it, pick up a bunch of paint chips in colors you think are possibilities and stick them on the wall next to the cabinet and leave them there for a while. Take them down gradually as you rule them out until you're left with the combination that you like the best. It may or may not be one you would have originally thought!
If you love it, it will work. Buy it and live with it awhile I bet you won't have to paint a thing. Yellow and white will look great with it. I'm a little jelly.

Chrysler's Viper conversion from Dodge to the new SRT name wasn't going to venture down the new path on its own. Rumors have been floating around that the company was also reviving the "Barracuda " name as a replacement for the current Dodge Challenger , but Automotive News is adding a side note to those rumors.
Turns out, the Challenger will be replaced with the Barracuda, but not entirely. The SRT Barracuda will take the place of the Challenger SRT8, but the standard Challenger will maintain its branding. This coincides with SRT's goal of only producing high-performance sports cars; the 305 HP Challenger doesn't quite fit the bill.
The future Dodge Challenger will be entering its new generation in 2015, so we'll see the SRT Barracuda around the same time. The new Barracuda will be built on an entirely new platform and will be powered by a new 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 that will debut in 2014.

Fight Family Sickness with Immunity-Boosting Tricks!
How to Boost Your Immune System
"The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each fall," according to the CDC's website. Each year, scientists predict which strains of the flu will circulate, and they combine three strains to create the flu vaccine. The vaccination is completely natural and introduces small amounts of common flu viruses into the body. The immune system responds by defeating the virus, and since the immune system has a memory, you're at less risk once it knows how to defend against a particular virus. Flu vaccines should be administered in October or November because flu season generally runs from October through May.
There are two variations of the vaccination available: The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine containing a dead form of the virus, while the Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) is a nasal spray version of the flu vaccine containing live flu viruses. Children six months or older, people with chronic illnesses, and healthy people can take the flu shot. Side effects include soreness at the injection site, low-grade fever, and aches.
To ensure those at highest risk of complications from the flu have access to vaccine, the CDC sometimes recommends that people in certain priority groups receive the flu shot early in the season. Included in this "priority group" are:
- people aged 65 years and older, with and without chronic health conditions
- residents of long-term care facilities
- people aged 2–64 years with chronic health conditions
- children aged 6–23 months
- pregnant women
- healthcare personnel who provide direct patient care
- household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of children younger than 6 months
Recipients of the LAIV vaccine should be between the ages of five and 49, and should not be pregnant. This vaccine is not subject to prioritization and can be given at any time.
Dr. Neustaedter of the Holistic Pediatric Association describes how supplements can boost the immune system in his book, FLU: Alternative Treatments and Prevention. "The easiest way to give supplements to children is through powdered sources mixed in a blender with fruit, fruit juice, yogurt, or milk (rice milk for younger children and children with milk sensitivities), and honey (for children over 12 months old). Capsules can be opened and dumped into the blender. Children can chew oil-based supplements in soft gels, or you can stick a pin into them and squirt out the contents onto something they will eat," says Dr. Neustaedter. It's a simple game of hide-in-sweet.
Here is an overview of several supplements that can be used to help strengthen your and your child's defenses. Be sure to first speak with your doctor or pediatrician before implementing any new dietary or supplemental regime.

How can you wash your hands without spreading germs when you touch the tap handle?- Cecilia*
This is a great question: There you are, doing the right thing by washing your hands for 20 seconds or more with warm water and plenty of soap. Then you realize that, to turn off the tap, you have to touch the same handle you touched when your hands were dirty!
Lots of people use a paper towel to turn off a tap after washing their hands (and some people also use a paper towel to open the restroom door when they leave). Using your elbow to push the tap handle closed is another way to avoid touching it — although this is easier to do with some kinds of taps than others.
Germs don't just stay in the restroom, though. Surfaces like desks, keyboards, and shopping cart handles are big germ hangouts. So it's a good idea to carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to use before you eat, after you blow your nose, etc.
Studies prove that good hand washing habits keep infections at bay. So wash your hands well and often, but don't worry too much about hidden germs on taps, sinks, and other places. Most teens have strong immune systems that can cope with these.

About a year ago at this time Suns owner Robert Sarver laid out a plan to change the structure of the Phoenix Suns' front office to put specialists in a position of strength.
Sarver sees four main duties for a basketball operations department: evaluation, contract negotiation, understanding the collective bargaining agreement and communicating with players.
Instead of hiring one general manager who is at least adequate in all four of those departments, Sarver chose to hire multiple executives in president of basketball operations Lon Babby and general manager Lance Blanks who together check off all those boxes.
"They're kind of different skill sets, and sometimes they take different personalities," Sarver said when announcing the changes a year ago. "What maybe made most sense was to put together a team and rather than bring someone in who can be a generalist in all those areas, have two people who could be specialists who really could give us the best so we're really good at all four."
Of course, this move was made after most of the dust had cleared on the 2010 free agency chase, a crucial time the Suns went through without a GM, so the jury is largely still out on this arrangement after the Babby/Blanks duo made two trades (one very successful, one not so much) and a safe but solid draft pick in Markieff Morris.
Even with a true first season on the job in the books, it would likely to be too early to judge their success since many long-term moves (particularly draft picks) take time to develop, but that's especially true for this front office crew without a free agency period to their name just yet.
Plus, I always felt the aftermath of the lockout would be the best time for this structure to prove its merit. The thinking was that Babby is a lawyer who has been poring over contracts all his working life. If anybody can find a loophole in what figures to be a very complicated collective bargaining agreement, it would be someone like him.
As things are Babby said the restructured from office is working together very well during his end of the season press conference.
"I think Lance and I are working hand and glove just the way we hoped we would work," Babby said. "I think we each work with great respect for each other's abilities, staying within our lanes of expertise, and on a personal level I couldn't be happier to be here living in this community, working with the people I'm working with, and I think the third member of kind of our front office John Treloar has been a great voice of reason and experience.
"I have no reservation about the quality of character and the quality of talent we have in the front office and how it's working.
"But the proof is going to be in the pudding, and the pudding is still cooking."
Once the lockout ends, the pressure will be on the Suns' unorthodox front office to improve in the present with Steve Nash or start building a team that can be competitive in the future.
Babby on his first season
At his end of the year press conference, Babby discussed what he's learned personally during his first year on the job:
"I think about that a lot, and I think the thing I've learned most is try to learn to deal with the rollercoaster of the season a little bit better. I think when we win we're never going to lose again and I think when we lose we're never going to win again, and in my position I have to make sure I'm staying on an even keel in terms of my emotional reaction to the team, and I think I've learned to do that as the year's gone on. It's an invigorating job, it's an invigorating experience, and it's fun because of that. But I think you all have to make sure you're making judgments based on sound reasoning and careful analysis."
Yep, sounds like a former lawyer all right.

"I will be recommending highly"
This weekend gone by I had the pleasure of having my wedding reception held at your beautiful venue. I've been to some good weddings but this one was special to me obviously because I got married but not only that the venue, the location, the management, the staff, the food, the wine EVERYTHING went off to a T. There was not one disgruntled guest and this was down to the list above but also the little things which all added up to create a magical day for both me and my beautiful wife. One of my guests my uncle who manages a meat factory pulled me aside to compliment the food and that coming from him is a fair compliment but as he added "Brian I'm being deadly serious here if I didn't like it then I would have heard it from someone else at my table"
Yvonne from the offset was a dream to work with her professionalism goes beyond how I can describe in words. I don't want to leave out any of the team which were involved in making that day the way it was but I dealt directly with Paul I think and he could not do enough for us.
Look in conclusion as I could go on all day thank you very much for everything and to everyone from the girls and boys who helped set up that day, the barmen, the servers, the chefs, even down to the cleaners the next day THANK YOU.
I will be recommending highly.
Thank you, Brian

Stonington — The Lisbon man in custody in Rhode Island after an alleged abduction and motor vehicle chase was charged Tuesday by police in both states.
Daniel Candales, 42, of 187 Ross Hill Road, Lisbon, was involved in a domestic disturbance with his former girlfriend Monday and allegedly abducted her 9-year-old daughter during a custody transfer in the parking lot of the Stonington police station.
Police issued an Amber Alert for the girl and pursued Candales' pickup truck through several towns until he was stopped in Richmond, R.I., and the girl was safely recovered.
On Tuesday, Stonington police charged Candales with risk of injury, reckless driving and breach of peace and were going to file a warrant for his arrest Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
Hopkinton police also filed Tuesday, charging Candeles with reckless driving and eluding law enforcement in high speed pursuit.
Connecticut court records show Candales has a lengthy arrest record, including violation of protective orders and restraining orders, stalking and criminal possession of a firearm. He is due in New London Superior Court Monday on those charges.

A cosy cardigan that helps to show off your curves with braids and cables that integrate the shaping. It's length and the vertical cabling have an overall lenghtening and figure friendly effect. The bust increases are worked mainly in the front pieces of the cardigan to improve the fit even more. There are also instructions for optional bust darts included.
The Gardening Cardigan is worked bottom-up in one piece featuring set-in short row sleeves that are knit in the round. The front braids wind around the neck to meet in the back and form a nice collar. In this pattern the cables and braids are charted.
20 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10cm/4 x 4? in stockinette stitch
I learned knitting, crochet and sewing from my mum when I was young. I kept on going from there and soon invented my own projects. From making up my own patterns to writing them down and grading them it was only a small step. And here we are. :)

Hydrops fetalis is a severe, life-threatening problem of severe edema (swelling) in the fetus and newborn. It is also called hydrops. There are two types of hydrops:
Immune. This results when the mother's immune system causes a breakdown of red blood cells in the fetus. This is the most dangerous complication of blood group incompatibility between the mother and baby. This type of hydrops is uncommon, however, because of the widespread use of Rh immunoglobulin treatment for Rh negative women.
Nonimmune. This is the more common type. It can result when diseases or complications interfere with the baby's ability to manage fluid.
Hydrops develops when too much fluid leaves the bloodstream and goes into the tissues. Many different diseases and complications can cause hydrops, including the following:
Immune hydrops may develop because of Rh disease in the mother. When an Rh negative mother has an Rh positive baby, the mother's immune system sees the baby's Rh positive red blood cells as "foreign." When the mother's antibodies attack the foreign red blood cells, they are broken down and destroyed, resulting in anemia. Hydrops can develop as the baby's organs are unable to compensate for the anemia. The heart begins to fail and large amounts of fluid build up in the baby's tissues and organs.
Nonimmune hydrops includes all other diseases or complications that may interfere with the baby's ability to manage fluid. There is no one mechanism to explain nonimmune hydrops. Some of the diseases or complications that are often associated with hydrops include the following:
Severe anemias
Congenital infections (infections present at birth)
Heart or lung defects
Chromosomal abnormalities and birth defects
Liver disease
The severe edema that occurs with hydrops can overwhelm the baby's organ systems. About half of unborn babies with hydrops do not survive. Risks for other complications are also high for babies born with hydrops, with survival often depending on the cause and treatment.
The following are the most common symptoms of hydrops fetalis. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently.
During pregnancy, symptoms may include:
Large amounts of amniotic fluid
Thickened placenta
Ultrasound of the fetus shows enlarged liver, spleen, or heart, and fluid buildup surrounding the fetus' abdomen, heart, and lungs
After birth, symptoms may include:
Pale coloring
Severe edema overall, especially in the baby's abdomen
Enlarged liver and spleen
Respiratory distress (difficulty breathing)
The symptoms of hydrops fetalis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hydrops fetalis may include:
Ultrasound. A diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels.
Fetal blood sampling. This is done by placing a needle through the mother's uterus and into a blood vessel of the fetus or the umbilical cord.
Amniocentesis. Involves withdrawing some of the amniotic fluid for testing.
Specific treatment for hydrops fetalis will be determined by your baby's doctor based on:
Your baby's gestational age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your baby's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment of hydrops depends on the cause. During pregnancy, hydrops may be treatable only in certain situations. Early delivery may be recommended. Management of hydrops in newborn babies may include:
Help for respiratory distress using supplemental oxygen or a mechanical breathing machine
Removal of excessive fluid from spaces around the lungs and abdomen using a needle

Toby Keith plays bartender in his new video "Hope on the Rocks," the title cut from his latest album. The six patrons he encounters in the clip are facing some pretty serious issues, and Toby helps them out as they seek comfort at the bar and on the dance floor.
Toby tells TheBoot.com the song is one of his favorite things he's ever written. Even though the song gets pretty dark, Toby just couldn't let it go. He finally finished it while at his hunting and fishing ranch in southern Oklahoma.
He says, "I spent two days down there and the whole time, whenever I wasn't talking to anybody, I was working that song in my head. I just hammered on it; completely obsessed."

Loved it all
I loved the opening where it seemed to be a game but was probably more fun as a cartoon anyway. The music is also really unique and sets the tone well just during the credits. It is so great to see you using these sprites as they are so underused in general. The graphics and effects are flawless, especially with the way you show off fire and explosions. The dialogue by itself is also pretty funny. I really should have expected CATS to show up, but at least he got blown up and said, "Why me?".

Council of Piacenza
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2011)
The Council of Piacenza was a mixed synod of ecclesiastics and laymen of the Roman Catholic Church, which took place from March 1 to March 7, 1095, at Piacenza.[1]
Prior to 1095 Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, (1081-1118), sent a delegation to speak before Urban II, asking for help in organizing a military response to the Turk's expansion toward Constantinople.
The delegates made a formal plea before a church council held in Piacenza. It was at this point that Urban II began seriously to contemplate calling for a military expedition to the East.[2]
The Council was held at the end of Pope Urban II's tour of Italy and France, which he made to reassert his authority after the investiture controversy with Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Two hundred bishops attended, as well as 4000 other church officials, and 30,000 laymen; there were so many people that the council had to be held outside of the city. The massive number of attendees reflects the increased authority of the church in the wake of Pope Gregory VII.
Among the lay attendees was Eupraxia of Kiev, a daughter of Vsevolod I, Prince of Kiev, and sister to his son Vladimir II Monomakh, prince of Kievan Rus. She met with Pope Urban II, and on his urgings Eupraxia made a public confession before the church council. She accused Henry of holding her against her will, forcing her to participate in orgies, offering her to his son Conrad, and of attempting a black mass on her naked body.[3] Those accusations were confirmed in turn by Conrad, who stated that this was the reason he turned against his father.
Also in attendance were ambassadors from Philip I of France, who came to appeal Philip's recent excommunication over his illegal divorce and remarriage to Bertrade de Montfort: Philip was given until Pentecost to rectify his situation. The rest of the business of the council expressed fairly typical church concerns: there were at least 15 canons published during the council, including a condemnation of the Berengerian heresy; a condemnation of the Nicolaitan heresy; an affirmation of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist; denunciations of the Antipope Clement III and his supporters; and a prohibition of payment to priests for baptisms, burials, or confirmations.
In hindsight, the most important attendees were the ambassadors sent by Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus. Alexius had been excommunicated by Gregory VII, and been through a series of reinstatements in the Church, but Urban had ultimately lifted the excommunication when he became pope in 1088, and relations between the east and west were at least temporarily friendly. The Byzantine Empire had lost much of its territory in Asia Minor to the Seljuk Turks in the aftermath of the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, and Alexius hoped western knights could help him restore it.
The ambassadors probably exaggerated the immediate danger to the empire, which was temporarily stalled by Seljuk infighting; Alexius also told them to remind them that Jerusalem was also held by Muslims, knowing that western Christians, too, attached a special significance to the city at the centre of the world which Muslims had denied them pilgrimage to.
Alexius' request was taken far more seriously than he had hoped. Urban may already have been thinking about a crusade to the east, and the request was interpreted as a sign of weakness in both the Eastern empire and the Orthodox church. It has been suggested that Urban may have hoped that by sending help he could also reunite the churches under his authority; however, Urban II never refers to the idea of reuniting the churches under his authority in any of his four extant letters on crusading. News of the threat to the empire and the supposed threat to Jerusalem spread throughout France after the council ended; in November 1095, Urban called an even bigger council, the Council of Clermont, where the organization of the First Crusade was formally announced.
Most of the information about the Council of Piacenza comes from the chronicler Bernold of Constance, who was probably there himself, as well as Ekkehard of Aura and Guibert of Nogent. No extant contemporary Byzantine sources felt the ambassadors were important enough to mention, although many Byzantine sources from this time no longer exist. For example, the council is mentioned by the 13th century chronicler Theodore Skoutariotes, who quotes now-lost contemporary works.

John McGeoch ′10
Hometown: Columbus, OH
Major: Economics/International Studies with a minor in Spanish
Fun Fact: John plays in a pick-up soccer game every Saturday.
What attracted you to Rhodes from Ohio? I was impressed by what I learned at a college fair so came to visit. That did it. After seeing the campus, students and faculty I knew that Rhodes was the right place for me.
Has it been what you expected?
Memphis is much more diverse than I expected and this diversity contributes to a rich culture. The city has several Latino, Vietnamese and Sudanese immigrant communities which I have been exposed to through service work at Latino Memphis and the Rhodes student-run soup kitchen. Visiting Beale Street and seeing various street performers have also shown me the diverse musical history of Memphis.
How did you decide on your academic concentration?
International Studies and Economics are so closely intertwined that it is difficult to study one without the other. Studying Spanish language was also a natural fit and allows me to communicate across cultures.
Are you fluent in Spanish?
Pretty much. I earned a Buckman Scholarship my junior year to study at a Chilean University in Santiago and live with a host family. Spending so much time with Chilean students really helped. Over the summer I also received a Mertie Buckman international internship to work abroad in El Porvenir, Honduras with Peacework International. My Spanish improved dramatically during both experiences.
What were some of your memorable experiences while studying and working abroad?
It was all memorable. I learned a ton. There was both a major earthquake and a military coup while I was in Honduras, so those stand out. I feel very lucky now to have lived through those events but I can't say I felt lucky at the time!
What else have you done at Rhodes?
I've been a student associate in the Communications Office for three years where I learned graphic design and how to analyze usage patterns on the Rhodes homepage and social media sites. I also have an internship in the international marketing department of FedEx working with foreign postal services.
Earlier I coordinated the Souper Contact soup kitchen and that taught me many lessons about dealing with the unexpected.
What do you mean?
Students sometimes have preconceived ideas about poverty and homelessness. When you get to know patrons on an individual level many stereotypes are shattered. There were also occasions when patrons would have disputes or more would show up than we had planned for. Learning to adapt and adjust to unexpected situations was invaluable.
So what comes next?
I'm currently looking for a job and I plan to pursue a MBA in a few years. I'm anxious to put my Rhodes education to use.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Quick, where is the Pioneer Monument located in Sioux Falls?
Even lifelong residents might struggle with that. But somebody vandalized the Pioneer Monument perched over the Big Sioux River at the end of North Drive. That's right behind the John Morrell plant on top of North Cliff Avenue.
Minnehaha County Historical Society President Jim Carlson says the vandals used spray paint. He's not sure how much it will cost to clean the tower.
He's opposed to erecting a fence around the monument which stands beside the "Amidon Massacre" plaque. Jim says that's only surrendering to the vandals and keeps others from getting a close look.
Carlson says the weather will have to improve first.
He says the Society is accepting donations and volunteers. You can calll him at 366-8403.

Few details have been released around the Ben Affleck fronted retelling of Stephen King's "The Stand" but today it looks like the project finally has a writer. "Blood Creek" writer David Kajganich has been tapped to take on the task of adapting King's book, which has already been made into a TV series so my guess is he'll just find that script and do the old "save as" in Microsoft word and call it a day. That's what I'd do anyway. Maybe take out any reference to Molly Ringwald.
If you've been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for more details on the Tom Cruise alien battle flick "Oblivion" then today is your lucky day. It's been confirmed that both Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko have signed on to the cast, one playing his current girlfriend and the other playing the women he falls for. God I can't wait to find out which is which. I hope Olga wins his heart, only because her name is Olga though. You don't mess with an Olga.
I fancy myself a big Disneyworld fan and an uber Haunted Mansion buff so I'm as giddy as a little school girl at at some of the new collectibles Disney will be releasing this year at their parks. Namely a new kick ass Haunted Mansion time piece that's a bargain at any price and makes a great birthday gift for the special BGH news writer in your life. That's me, I'm that person, in case you were wondering.
Lastly it looks like Thomas Jane, Billy Bob Thornton and James Marsden have all been cast in a new flick titled "Red Machine". The movie focuses on two estranged brothers who try to patch up their relationship during a camping trip with their signification others. Unfortunately for them though they end up being stalked by a killer bear. So we've now got Billy Bob Thornton battling bears. Your move, Liam Neeson fighting wolves.
Here's a video of an 8 year old performing her first hardcore song. This is my dream for what my daughter will become and my wife's worst nightmare.
I didn't realize there were still door to door salesmen but apparently there are because here's a story about one in North Carolina who talked his way into a woman's home and refused to leave until she A. bought some magazines or B. had sex with him. It's a tough choice. Do they still makes Highlights magazine? If not then I'd go with A.
Pop quiz, what's your favorite Ray Kay video? Trick question! The answer is none because he's the mastermind behind videos for Justin Beiber, Willow Smith and Lady Gaga. I fooled you didn't I? Well he's been handed the keys to a new thriller titled "Paranormalcy" which follows a teen who works for a paranormal agency who finds she might be in the middle of a plot to destroy all paranormal entities. Wait would that be a bad thing? Will there be a meat suit? So many questions and so few answers.
Harry Potter director David Yates and scribe Steve Kloves will reunite to create a trilogy based on Stephen King's "The Stand". For those of you not familiar with the book it's really long and took me over a year to read so I'm not going to tell you anything about it. They did make a mini series though back in the 90's and Molly Ringwald was in it. I'm not saying if that's a good or a bad thing though.
I loved "The Munsters" like a mofo and was a big fan of "Pushing Daisies" so the thought of its creator Bryan Fuller rebooting my beloved black and white classic is just like peanut butter and sex. They just go together. The new series is said to be a darker version of the original and will tell the tale of how everyone's favorite family came to live at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Mother of god I hope they don't F this up.
Details on the DVD and Blu-Ray extras that will be included with "Scream 4" have dropped and along with commentary with Wes Craven, deleted scenes and a gag real the discs will also include alternative endings and openings. This gets me excited because maybe for the next version there will also be a alternative middle and the three combined will actually make this a good movie. See what I did there? Enjoy your weekend folks.
This guy has come up with the greatest excuse as to why he was riding around a Walmart parking lot with his junk hanging out. Simply put, he confessed that Walmart really gets his juices flowing. To each his own I say. And I call this the greatest excuse because I assume people ride around Walmart parking lots constantly with their junk hanging out.
If you're going to try to wake up your boyfriend by shooting fireworks at him then you kind of deserve to lose three fingers. And yes before you even ask this took place in Florida.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Louisville Metro Prepares For Potential Flooding -Community better protected compared to 1997 flood
Monday January 10, 2005
Mayor Jerry Abramson today detailed Metro Government's preparations for potential flooding due to forecasted heavy rains this week, excessive ground saturation and rising Ohio River levels.
"When it became clear some flooding was likely, we brought our teams together last week to coordinate our response efforts," Abramson said. "With our enhanced flood-protection system in place, we are standing at the ready and are prepared."
With the Ohio River projected to crest at nearly 29 feet Wednesday – six feet above the flood stage and the highest level since the 1997 flood – the mayor met last week with officials from the Metropolitan Sewer District, Louisville Metro Public Works and Louisville Metro Emergency Management Agency.
In flooding situations, the Louisville Metro Public Works Department enacts an street-closure system based on river elevations.
Additionally, the Emergency Management Agency has identified the viaducts and underpasses that most frequently flood with water during periods of heavy rain. Crews are placing barricades near those locations today, so that in the case of flooding they can quickly be moved into place.
The viaducts include:
7th St. and Davies
600 West Hill Street
Floyd & Hill streets
3rd St. and
Eastern Parkway Six Mile and Breckenridge lanes
"No one should attempt to drive over roads covered with water, especially at an underpass or viaduct," Abramson said.
The mayor encouraged residents that see a flooded underpass that is not barricaded to call MetroCall at 311.
Community better protected than in 1997
Abramson said many enhancements to drainage and the flood-protection system mean Louisville area is better protected against flooding than eight years ago, when the Ohio River crested at 38.7 feet on the upper gauge at McAlpine Dam.
"Our Project DRI has made improvements in targeted neighborhoods with specific drainage problems, and MSD has made significant investments in the flood-protection system," Abramson said.
The mayor cited two new water-storage basins MSD added since 1997 to help protect the Pond Creek area near I-65 and Outer Loop. MSD built the 80-acre, 24-foot deep Melco basin behind the Ford Plant, and converted the Vulcan Rock Quarry into a flood-storage basin that holds hundreds of millions of gallons of water.
In addition, MSD has relocated 58 families from flood-prone areas.
Louisville Metro also has expanded its swift-water rescue fleet, with the addition of a new Zodiac boat, designed specifically for flood-rescue situations. The boat is deployed from the centrally located Buechel Fire Department, one of five similar boats operated by Louisville Metro suburban fire departments.
"We committed the funding in last year's budget to add this boat to our fleet to add to our neighborhood flood-rescue capabilities," Abramson said.

I must have been in the 7th grade—a Friday night and Moeller was playing at Elder in The Pit. These were during the days of Gerry Faust. Elder was having a decent year but not a great year. But we all knew if they could beat Moeller it would make their season. Moeller at the time, you know, they run onto the field and they look like a college team. Very impressive and very intimidating. So you're in a concrete horseshoe of a high school [stadium] that is submerged beneath the level of the main floor of the school itself, sitting among 12,000 people and there was so much energy. This is long before I ever went to a rock concert. Elder lost, but when I went home that night I knew that I was going to go to high school there. That was always a big decision: Is it going to be Elder? Is it going to be St. Xavier? That game convinced me Elder had the atmosphere, the environment, and the enthusiasm I wanted to be around. It was electric—especially for a 13-year-old kid. You pass it along up there on Price Hill and I think it's a worthy thing to pass along. —Bill Hemmer, Co-anchor of Fox News's America's Newsroom

INRIX National Traffic Scorecard Reveals Startling 30 Percent Decrease in Traffic Congestion in 2008
Study that ranks 100 worst congested cities cites tumbling economy and fuel price volatility as causes for unprecedented decline in traffic congestion
INRIX®, the leading provider of traffic information, today released its second annual INRIX National Traffic Scorecard, revealing a 30 percent decline in traffic congestion in 2008 during the peak periods on major roads in urban America. Overall the report found that 99 of the top 100 most populated cities in the U.S. experienced decreases in traffic congestion levels in 2008 as compared to the prior year. The Scorecard contains the most accurate and current information in the country regarding overall congestion and bottlenecks on nearly 50,000 miles of America's major roadways, and is compiled using tens of billions of data points from INRIX's network of nearly one million GPS-enabled cars and trucks traveling across over 800,000 miles of roads.
The report cites turbulent fuel prices and a struggling economy as sources for a consistent decline in overall traffic volume. Detroit, where the jobless rate climbed past 21 percent in 2008, saw the second largest decrease in congestion nationwide. Additionally, Riverside, Calif., which ranked third-highest in the nation in foreclosure activity during 2008, saw the highest drop in congestion of the nation's larger regions.
"On average, Americans spent 13 hours less stuck in traffic in 2008 versus 2007," said Bryan Mistele, INRIX president and CEO. "While less traffic is generally good news, the causes of it aren't necessarily something to celebrate. Traffic congestion is an excellent indicator of trends, telling us whether businesses are shipping products, whether people are going to work, and whether shoppers are going to the mall. The Scorecard provides an amazing lens through which we can see these and other major events unfolding across the country."
By analyzing traffic on major highways in the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas, the Scorecard informs the ongoing debate of one of the most frustrating and intractable issues: urban traffic congestion. How bad is congestion? Where is it worst? How has it changed? What can be done about it? The Scorecard provides the most comprehensive and national scale glimpse of the answers to these questions. According to the report, the top 10 most congested cities in 2008 were:
1. Los Angeles, California
2. New York, New York
3. Chicago, Illinois
4. Dallas, Texas
5. Washington, DC
6. Houston, Texas
7. San Francisco, California
8. Boston, Massachusetts
9. Seattle, Washington
10. Minneapolis, Minnesota
Among countless significant findings, the report found the following:
• Los Angeles moved ahead of Honolulu with the highest metropolitan Travel Time Index (TTI), now 1.33 as compared to Honolulu's 1.31.
• San Diego saw the second largest decrease in congestion (tied with Detroit)
• Minneapolis made the top 10 list for the first time (up from 13th) replacing Atlanta which dropped to 12th.
• The nation's worst bottleneck remained the same, a westbound stretch of the Cross Bronx Expressway/I-95 leading up to and including the Bronx River Parkway exit 4B interchange.
• National congestion was lower every hour of every day in 2008 versus the year prior, 30 percent lower on average depending on the hour and day.
• 99 of the 100 regions studied saw congestion levels decrease. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a 6 percent increase in overall congestion, was the only region with an increase from 2007, shooting up in the metropolitan rankings from 47th to 33rd in overall congestion.
• Friday from 5 to 6 p.m. remained America's most congested hour of the week, although the Travel Time Index (TTI) fell 23 percent. Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m. ranked as the next most congested hour.
• National congestion levels were essentially the same when comparing the first and second halves of 2008, suggesting that higher fuel prices in early 2008 and the slower economy later in the year netted the same drop in overall congestion.
• Congestion during off-peak hours (outside of the AM and PM weekday commuting times) decreased by more than 36 percent, substantially outpacing the significant drop in peak hour congestion.
• Wednesday saw the biggest drop in congestion, with a 31 percent overall decrease in peak hours.
• Each weekday morning, peak hour congestion dropped much more than its corresponding evening peak hour congestion.
The report cautions becoming lax in pushing forth infrastructure developments due to the decrease in congestion this year, because when the economy improves and if fuel prices remain affordable, traffic will likely increase again.
"While we all should cheer the reduction in congestion in 2008, we should be under no illusion that this is permanent," said Rick Schuman, vice president of public sector, INRIX. "We must still continue to focus energies on policies and methods to reduce traffic."
INRIX is continually looking to find ways to help consumers, businesses and public officials better understand the many issues that can affect the flow of traffic and how to solve these problems in the future. In June 2008, INRIX published its first annual INRIX National Traffic Scorecard. The report was the first of its kind to rank and provide detailed information on the 100 most congested U.S. metropolitan areas and the 100 worst traffic bottlenecks, all based upon calendar year 2007 traffic information. The company released its first Scorecard Special Report, The Impact of Fuel Prices on Consumer Behavior and Traffic Congestion, in October of last year, looking at how volatile fuel prices affected traffic and consumer driving habits. Special reports to the INRIX Scorecard focus on trends affecting traffic and will be released periodically. The second annual National Traffic Scorecard was created through extensive analysis of nearly 50,000 miles of primary roadways in major metropolitan areas, selected from INRIX's traffic data warehouse of over 800,000 miles of roadways and 120 real-time markets in the U.S.
