As we all or at least most know we have just had the Fun Fest. If you did not get to go, here is basically what happened. There were four skits, one from each class and they ranged from a guy with balloons in his shirt to Cassidy Christian with an ill-fitting wig singing I like to move it move it. There were eight tug-o-wars with very strong girls & guys. Land skis was hilarious. There was a bubble gum blowing contest and an inner tube relay where everyone fell at least once. A balloon shaving contest, who knew so many people, could shave balloons? The blind football kick was so cool. The freshmen were so good at egg toss they didn't break the egg until they had to throw the egg so far it broke in her hands when he threw it too hard trying to get it far enough to reach her. And the second to the last was throwing pie at the high school's principal. I think it was rude to the audience to make us laugh so hard. And last but so not least Mess BCHS competition, yes it's where the guys dress up like girls and the girls dress up like boys. It was sad because some of those guys looked convincing. My brother always used to dress up like that with my granny's wig, dress, and my sister's high heels but he couldn't walk as good as some of the guys here. It was so fun. I think it is so cool that the school puts on a little performance and everyone comes. In Muskogee that would never happen. That is just one more thing to love about Boise City . See you next week.

Hi there. My name is Vinny and I live in upstate NY. I have a 100 years old cape about 1300 square feet. I have a question about my circulator pump. A contractor said I should have it at its lowest speed because the hot water will stay in the baseboards longer, retaing more heat there, and making my house warmer longer. He said that on its highest speed, it zooms through taking a lot of the heat away quicker.
I have a Weil Mclean gas hot water boiler thats about 30 yrs old with baseboards. 2 zones(one for downstairs, one for up), a digital thermostat, all replacement windows, doors, blown in cellulose in walls, and energy saving window treatments. My friend said I am building a Fort but I am into effeciency and want to be snug in my house. Any suggestions? Im all ears. Thanks

SmithBucklin has announced the reorganization of its meeting and event planning operation, consolidating units in Chicago and Washington, D.C., under Brad Weaber, who has been appointed to the new position of executive vice president, event services.
Weaber retains his title as president of Courtesy Associates in Washington, which is owned by SmithBucklin. The company promoted Leslie Thornton to managing director at Courtesy, where she will run day-do-day operations.
Previously, event services at SmithBucklin were handled in three silos: Lise Puckorius headed the team in Chicago; Cele Fogarty led the team in Washington; and Weaber led the group at Courtesy Associates. Puckorius, Fogarty, and Thornton will continue to head up their respective units, but now all three units will report to Weaber and he will work out of the Washington office.
The move is designed to create greater operational efficiencies internally, Weaber said. With a central event services department, the company will be able to better leverage its buying power, enhance client services, share best practices, consolidate leadership, and track data. The changes are internal, so from the customer standpoint, nothing will look different.
There are no job cuts associated with the reorganization. Rather, the move is designed to improve service and efficiencies and, it is hoped, create some opportunities for growth, said Weaber, who is cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the meetings industry in 2010.
"Our goal is to continually improve productivity and deliver an even higher standard of performance to our client organizations, as well as a unified voice to the hospitality and related industries," said Henry Givray, chairman and chief executive officer at SmithBucklin, in a press release.

no way those guys would want to strip-mall the heck out of the entire place….nah…..
Yeh, I bet they will be balanced, watch out for the valley, water quality, keep the place

All kidding aside how do you explain his sworn testimony about his degree, white lie, harmless fiction, fibbing,
enthusiastic embellishment, devious deception, degree enhancement, proactive pufferey, perjury, selective
memory, shapeshifting, or whatever. What do you think is going on there? Please try to explain it to me.
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 11-17-12 @ 9:23 am
Yodah, How do you explain Bill Clinton saying he never had sex with that woman not even once
and then perjured himself and was impeached and now is a Democratic national hero? Left wing
Democrats and liberals defended him by saying it didn't matter what he did in his personal life. So
why does it matter what Cal Scott did in his personal life?
Yodah, How do you explain the 3 million dollar man Joe Brenneman costing us 3 million dollars on
the Northshore Ranch fiasco; disenfranchising thousands of property owners around the WF donut;
hiring a Las Vegas planner to launch one attack after another on property owners who recuited
neighbors to spy on neighbors; pushing the Village Idiots bill on Flathead County which would have
raised taxes on the county citizens; bloating the county budget 32 million dollars in 6 years?
What ever Cal Scott did in his personal lives did not cost county tax payers a dime. But Joe
Brenneman, the 3 million dollar man cost us 3 million (Northshore fiasco) + 32 million (County
budget bloating) for a grand total of 35 million. How do you explain that Yodah? What is worse,
what Joe Brenneman did to county tax payers or what Cal Scott did in his personal life?
By Yodah on 11-17-12 @ 9:49 am
Let's leave these other folks out of it…their sins occurred after they took office….what was Mr. Scott's reason for
telling such a boldfacer while under oath…is he pathological…I'm just wondering, would you loan him money?
By RussCrowder on 11-17-12 @ 9:59 am
Be careful Yodah..When you try to reason, I sense a great disturbance in "the Force". It's as though
millions of liberal have suddenly cried out in pain!
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 11-17-12 @ 11:17 am
Yodah, you need to answer first the questions on Clinton and the 3 million dollar man Joe
Brenneman. Again, liberals like you defended Clinton to the hilt because his issues were
personal. You dismissed perjury because it was a personal issue Please explain the difference
between him and Scott.
Brenneman's disasterous term as county commissioner is over, but the destruction he did lives
on. How are we going to pay back the 35 million he cost us Yodah? I forgot to mention before the
additional hundreds of thousands of dollars Brenneman cost us by getting us into laawsuit after
lawsuit. How much has his WF donut disaster cost us and it is still on-going even two years after
he left office. Can you explain to us Yodah, how you propose that we get paid back for what
Brenneman has cost the citizens of Flathead County?
By Yodah on 11-17-12 @ 11:26 am
I've never defended anyone but myself and my dog…and him only because English is not his first language ...
By JosephineDoody on 11-17-12 @ 9:21 pm
@ Star Wars Hairless Midget-
I don't explain it and I won't defend it. That's for Mr. Scott to do if he so chooses. I don't give a rat's
rump what Mr. Scott does in his private affairs - what I do care about is that he will protect the
private property rights of the citizens of Flathead County and work hard to bring representation to
the people of the WF Doughnut (a boondoggle credited to Joe Brenneman). Joe Brenneman has
cost us, the taxpayers of Flathead County, more money than any other Commissioner in our
history and we will continue to pay for his stupidity for decades to come. I'll take Mr. Scott all day
long over the likes of Joe Brenneman and the damage he caused the Flathead.

"Flathead County voters overwhelmingly elected the two Republican candidates during last week's

By Heikens on 11-18-12 @ 9:30 am
Yoda said, "Let's leave these other folks out of it…their sins occurred after they took office."
Their sins occurred AFTER they took office alright… where they inflicted the most damage onto the
taxpayers. Whatever Mr. Scott did before he took office affected HIM and HIM ALONE. What Joe
Brenneman did AFTER he took office affected all of us to the tune of millions of dollars that WE will
pay into perpetuity.
By DaisyCutter on 11-18-12 @ 9:54 am
there's no magic about the fact that Joe Brenneman cost Flathead taxpayers millions of dollars in
lawsuits and legal fees. Democrat Joe Brenneman is the singular, biggest disaster to ever sit on
the Flathead County Commission. We should never forget how much money Joe Brenneman has
cost us and we won't…because we'll be paying the bill until the stars fall.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 10:12 am
Taft's ample seat cost taxpayers too….I just wonder how folks could justify voting for a candidate that broke his
word at least 22 times….somebody must have got hurt there…aren't corporations people too?
By 5YearLapelTac on 11-18-12 @ 10:28 am
@Yodah - Let's review the carnage of sins committed AFTER they took office.

Can you account for this Yodah? No, you cannot. Therefore, you probably shouldn't be engaged in
this conversation. Return to what you know…training Jedi Knights and saving the Empire.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 10:57 am
I'm gonna have to drop a flag on you for "MISDIRECTION" there son…...15 yards….........
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 12:01 pm
You're not getting it at all….if someone gets elected and does something criminal or unethical
that's on them for sure…..if the voters elect someone that's criminal or unethical and they know
about it before the election…..that's on the VOTERS. And you do know you can't win that sex
scandal game playing all Democrats against Republicans???? Do some research….I find it rather
disturbing that I want to talk ethics and you wave a lot of stiff arguments in my face…..
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 12:03 pm
I mean we could spray a lot of allegations all over each other and still be unsatisfied and left with a
big mess to clean up…...
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 12:05 pm
I might as well withdraw from this discussion before it comes to a bad end…...
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 11-18-12 @ 4:40 pm
Yodah, read Joe Brenneman's depostion in the Northshore Ranch fiasco. I believe he said he did
not recall around 68 times or so. Now obviously if you ever saw Brenneman in action, it was clear
that he was a know-it-all that acted like recalled everything. It seems kind of curious that he
couldn't remember anything about his own actions in the Northshore Ranch fiasco that cost the
citizens of Flathead County around 3 million smackaroos.
Now Yodah, do you think Brenneman really didn't recall anything about his actions in the
Northshore Ranch around 68 times or so, or do you think he may have perjued himself? How do
you explain it Yodah? Please give me an explaination.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 5:29 pm
Looks like Ol' Joe pulled a boner there, I'd guess most guys have at one time or another…
By Heikens on 11-18-12 @ 7:39 pm
Yoda -
It is you who are not getting it. What Mr. Scott did or didn't do BEFORE he was elected affected
only him. What Joe Brenneman did AFTER he got into office hurt all of us. One's actions AFTER
election is far more reaching in terms of impact.
If you wish to sit in judgment of Mr. Scott before he became a Commissioner, do so at your own
peril (remember, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones). I will reserve judgement
upon Mr. Scott until after he leaves office in 2 years. I'm betting his departure won't cost us 3
Million Dollars like Joe Brenneman did.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 8:04 pm
What about the credit card companies that took it in the shorts…even with a customer as slippery as Mr. Scott
that had to hurt….I hope they had some protection.
By RIGHTOFCENTER on 11-18-12 @ 8:16 pm
What about the good citizens of Flathead County that took it in the shorts with a slippery
Commisioner like the 3 million dollar man Joe Brenneman. That did hurt, unfortunately the County
did not have insurance to cover Brenneman's actions. Our county services suffered and had to
suck it up and pay for his actions. We have to make sure it never, ever happens again.
By JosephineDoody on 11-18-12 @ 8:20 pm
@Star Wars Hairless Midget
Are you impaired? You simply don't get the concept of before and after do you?
As far as the credit card companies go, who's credit rating is affected?... Mr. Scott, not the
Flathead County taxpayer.
Who's on the hook to pay the money back as per the bankruptcy terms? Mr. Scott, not the
Flathead County taxpayer.
Who's on the hook for the 3 million dollar Northshore Ranch fiasco perpetrated by Joe Brenneman?
The Flathead County Taxpayer, that's who.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 8:29 pm
I don't know why you keep poking me with Joe B….seems kind of a backdoor way to try to make your play…If
the county doesn't believe in protection they should pull out before something bad happens….
By JosephineDoody on 11-18-12 @ 8:45 pm
the Star Wars Hairless Midget said, " I don't know why you keep poking me with Joe B…"
Clearly, it's because you cannot grasp the following:
Joe Brenneman has cost the Flathead County taxpayer OVER 3 Million dollars in lawsuits plus
legal fees. Mr. Scott has not.
Please grasp this bit of reality so we can all move on. Sheesh.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 9:04 pm
I guess this will have to be our climax…You're losing interest and I'm having trouble keeping up a good stiff
rebuttal…maybe with a break we can approach this from a different angle and I can make my case with you.

Yodah, I enjoy your comments. As with everything, there are two sides to the story. I don't
know how familiar you are with this issue, and the group who is intent to blast you. I have to
wonder if they are actually several, or probably one or two posting under several names as
they repeat and repeat and repeat, word for word. You might find this article interesting.
ers_and_land_trust/17210/ It is commendable that you are able to stick to the topic at hand
and do so without the name calling.

I know about the lawsuit and the settlement…it's the source of my unease….I don't have a lot of faith in the
County government…I think it's amateurs against savvy professionals and the taxpayers pay for any errors…I'm
not sure that 3 peas in the same pod will see things from a varied perspective that might benefit their decision
making process….when all you hear is an echo of your own voice you may start to think you're right (correct) all
the time….and you won't be…..
By 3Hills on 11-18-12 @ 10:23 pm
Ah yes, take it from Mitch…that bastion and purveyor of truth, freedom, and the American way.
How ironic that Mitch says, "It is commendable that you are able to stick to the topic at hand
and do so without the name calling."...commendable indeed since Mitch is rarely capable of it
himself (or herself, whichever the case may be).
We now have Mitch counseling Yodah. Oid vey.
By Yodah on 11-18-12 @ 10:33 pm
Don't be too hard on Mitch…he was willing to take a load of grief, several loads in fact…cause I'm sure you' ll all
pile on now and have your way with him..

How hypocritical of you Mitch. You're still unable to participate in cogent debate without name

Hello all! I would like to post an idea of mine that I have had for a while now, and would love to hear some of your opinions as they can definitely help shape this tour!
-- Goukon Tour --
First of let me explain the concept of a "Goukon." This is really quite unique to Japan, although some parallels can be found with American speed dating.. Some.. at least. It's actually pretty different. Generally, a girl and a guy will get a few of their friends to come and meet with the friends of the other. With all guys one on side of the table, and all girls on the other side, it is designed to possibly lead to further meetings between those who hit it off, and for a lucky few, it may even lead them to a serious relationship. The great thing about Goukons is that you are in a large group, so it is easier to blend in and just enjoy yourself as part of the said group, or take the attention yourself and entertain everyone there, depending on your style. Goukons are generally held at places like restaurants or Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) with an informal style to them, so you can usually enjoy yourself, as well as some good food and drinks, without worrying about too much. That is why they are so much different than speed dating; if you just relax and be yourself, good things will happen!
For those of you looking for Japanese penpals, friends, or maybe even a boyfriend or girlfriend, this may be your chance! Join us and our native Japanese friends as we show you what the true dating scene is like in Japan!
Basically, this tour revolves around Goukons at night, and then a group date with the Goukon group from the previous night the next day. We will be going to places like Disney Sea, which I am personally very excited about! On the days in between the Goukons, we will take you around all the best spots Tokyo has to offer, and make sure you have the best time you can possibly have!
* This tour is currently scheduled for June, 2010.
* Goukon participants must be 21 or over, as they will take place at bars.
I am posting the preliminary schedule below, so please take a look and give me any thoughts, suggestions, or preferences that you may have!
Day 1
On this day we fly out of LAX and head out to Japan!
Day 2
We arrive in Japan! Rest up for the next day, or take the optional trip to Tokyo Tower!
Day 3
Spend the day looking around Tokyo. Go to the historical Asakusa temple and then take a boat across the Tokyo bay to Odaiba, home of Fuji TV and many shops and restaurants. This is also a very popular spot for young people to hang out at! As an option, enjoy the Onsen here! At night, join us and our first group of Japanese Goukon participants at an Izakaya for Goukon #1!
Day 4
Disney Sea all day! For those of you that are interested you can take the optional trip to Roppongi to get a taste of the nightlife there afterwards!
Day 5
We take you to Harajuku and the famous Meiji Shrine! After this enjoy shopping on the famous Takeshitadori and Omotesandou roads! When we are done with Harajuku, we're off to Shibuya! This has some of the best nightlife spots in Tokyo, and you will get to have a taste of it for yourself! But before that, enjoy some more shopping, as we go to famous places such as Shibuya 109!
Day 6
This is a free day! Explore the city as you wish our go on our optional day trip to Kamakura and enjoy the "Kyoto of East Japan" and all it has to offer! Make sure to join us at nighttime when we hold our second Goukon, and make some new friends!
Day 7
Go to an amusement park and hang out all day with the group from the night before! At night enjoy what Yokohama has to offer, as we visit Chinatown and Minato-Mirai, nestled right on the Yokohama Bay!
Day 8
Say goodbye to your new friends and go back to America…

Trend Watch: Are Arrows the New Antlers?
If you want to get a hold of some vintage arrows of your own, Etsy and ebay are good bets. Sweetshorn Vintage has sets of six arrows for $40 (as well as some other super-fun vintage finds!), and Hello Victory's Etsy shop has them individually for $8 apiece. Search "vintage arrows" on ebay and come up with a few more options... we saw a pretty honey-colored cedar set of 23 that was bidding at about $15-$20.
On the fancier, more collectible end, Three Potato Four has a complete antique archery set (fifth photo), with a hand-painted metal case and a set of beautiful arrows, for $185.
What do you think of this look? Does it make you feel nostalgic too?

I used to have an old arrow (probably still do in a box in my parents' attic) that I had proudly displayed in my room. It was from summer camp when I shot a bull's eye. While I loved that one (and the idea), it would seem silly to buy some to follow a 'trend' when the one I used to have actually had meaning. New ones (vintage or not) would seem a bid empty in comparison.
I don't get it, but to each their own.
Another silly decorating trend to avoid. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
is this for real?
Anything's better than the played-out antler trend. Except this.
Hmmmm. Well, at least it's a break from GIANT LETTERS.
I guess each new trend tries to be as hard to clean as possible. Hello clutter !
I'd rather it be arrows than antlers.
I'm not a fan of displays of weapons of any sort. The imagery that they evoke is just not appealing.
I think it's cute. I'm not running out to buy arrows (or antlers for that matter), but I have no probelm with it. If someone gave me a quiver of arrows to display in my living room I would probably find a spot for them.
Maybe people reject this idea simply because it's labeled on this post as a "trend"?
I also don't see any problem displaying weapons or taxidermy. Just my opinion.
I think they are beautiful. And they remind me of all my amazing summer camp years.
Lose the arrows. Save the feathers.
Well, now I know what to do with the full set of bow and arrows I inherited from my father. He got them from a native South American after shooting a documentary in the jungle in Colombia. I've got them stored in the garage!
I grew up with them on the wall, my father used to joke that they were to be used in case of emergencies only... like boys coming around for his daughters.
One more trendoid that won't see the interior of my home...
Please, no.
Wow, I'm surprised that this many people think this idea is a flat "no".
The arrows are a spin on using feathers or putting something in a vase that contributes color but doesn't croak. I think they are pretty charming but certainly not for all. I suppose they could be considered kitschy.
Good eye The Estate of Things, Sweetshorn & AT.

My message: yes! Everyone should be supporting speaking & listening. Our culture has a slowly dying sense of civility. Improved communication practices would go far to turn this slow death around. Unfortunately, though I love technology, it does little to advance meaningful face-to-face discourse. Modeling responsible dialogue and providing opportunities for constructive discussion, debate, and consensus-making is an imperative placed upon teachers, parents, business, and yes, government.

5. Adapt and respond to an evolving world.
Here are points I would make about how Bauhaus values will play an important role in what is next online:
* Smart Phones & Apps gamify routine (boring) tasks.
* Holistic design will increasingly mean Mobile Fist design.
* We are all in the community building business (whether we know it or not) & community creates mass production OUT OF individual expression.

Flipped classrooms are getting plenty of headlines and attention lately in educational circles. While conceptually they sound great the reality is that they require a great deal more effort on behalf of both students and teachers. The need for teachers to develop quality material outside class time is a genuine drain on their limited time …
But here's the thing: the history of social media actually goes back a lot further, and its roots can be found in blogging, Google, AOL, ICQ, the beginnings of the world wide web and, perhaps surprisingly, CompuServe.

Comments On Aug 20, 2013:Love this set up for XC racing. The hydro pack stays in place and isn't bulky. I would like to see more sizing and color options.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 13, 2013:The clip for the carry pouches is in the wrong place. The hydration pouch keeps coming open. Fly used really weak small snaps. If fly would move the clip strap so it closes everything together it would work a lot better.The clips that hold the chest plate on, are too big. When the chest plate is removed you can feel the buckles flapping. Also no belly strap when the chest plate is removed. On fun rides with the chest protector removed the pack moves around and when jumping it feels like it wants to fly off, keeps hitting the back of my helmet.

Comments On Aug 14, 2013:This roost guard/hydration pack works perfectly and it has numerous pockets to carry your tools while your out on the long trail rides.

Comments On Apr 18, 2013:Product is well made, and the hydration function is fine. But the back pack portion is quite useless, unless you plan on bringing the bare minimum. Not a lot of sealed zipper compartments either, it is just asking for stuff to fall out or get wet. Sorry...not for me.

"Embrace Autism Today."
Blake Mackay, son of Aussom Aussie Australian Barbeque Co. owner Paul Mackay, was diagnosed with high-functioning autism shortly before his second birthday. Thankfully, in Pennsylvania where Blake lives, an autism diagnosis comes with accompanying state-funded benefits and support tools, Paul says. But after becoming involved with autism awareness on a national level and witnessing the financial struggle endured by parents facing an autism diagnosis in less generous states, Paul decided to do what he could to help.
"In some states, an autism diagnosis is beneficial, and in others it's detrimental because they don't offer services," Paul said. "We really just see the parents that were left out in the cold by the medical system and wanted to help."
So, three years ago, Paul began using Aussom Aussie as a way to generate fundraising revenue for autism centered nonprofits. The vector: colorful, eye-catching bracelets, sold at three dollars a pop.
"Bracelets are an easy purchase. They're something that people can wear with pride so that other people can notice," Paul said of the bracelet campaign. "A T-shirt is something that people wear occasionally – but people can wear their bracelets every day, so that was kind of the reason behind it."
During the past three years, Paul says the bracelets have brought in anywhere from two to five thousand dollars annually. In an effort to magnify the effect of the sales, Aussom Aussie foots the cost of bracelet production, as well as the shipping cost for wares bought online, which allows them to send 100 percent of bracelet proceeds to their selected nonprofit. In past years, recipients have included organizations like Chamber of Hope, a donation-dependent organization in Florida that works to help autistic patients, using hyperbaric oxygen treatments that stimulate neurons in the brain. Although the recipient of this year's funds has yet to be chosen, Paul knows exactly what kind recipient he's looking for: a community-based, dedicated organization, proven to help make a difference for the autistic and their families.
"We're looking to provide kids the opportunity to learn how to cope. They'll never be cured and they'll always have to learn another way around things," Paul said. "Part of our goal is to help Mom-and-Pop organizations that are struggling to really raise money."
At this year's Rib Cook-Off, Paul says the bracelets have seen surprising and unprecedented success.
"For some reason, it's really caught on the last couple of days here … People heard about it and they want to support it," he said. "Personally, for fundraising not being our core business, I think it's a raging success."
In addition to raising funds for a deserving non-profit, the bracelet sales allow the staff of Aussom Aussie to connect with people who are just as passionate about the autism cause as they are themselves. Behind each sale there's often an underlying personal connection to the cause.
"The people that buy (the bracelets), they're passionate. This is not an impulse purchase. It's something that will affect people they love, or their family members. They're passionate – and that's exciting for us," Paul said. "The kind of pace that it's grown to over the last few days has been exciting for us, so I hope it continues."
Rose Smith purchased a bracelet with lunch during Saturday's festivities, in honor of her 30-year-old autistic nephew. For her, supporting autism awareness campaigns means giving back to the support network that has benefited her own family, as well as helping to generate awareness for a prevalent, though obscure, diagnosis.
"Autism has been around for years, and now it's finally getting true recognition," Smith said on Saturday. "I think there are more people that have autism today than we're aware of. It's a growing issue – not something that just started yesterday.
"I think that any support to try and help autism is beneficial. Any kind of donation, whether it be time, or money will be great to help relieve some of the stress that comes along with a diagnosis … I think it's great that (Aussom Aussie) saw the opportunity to use these events to help generate awareness. It's just a great opportunity to help support those that need it," she said.

HARRISBURG, Pa.—Authorities say a natural gas leak forced the evacuation of an office building near the Pennsylvania Capitol and, eventually, the early dismissal of many state employees.
Utility workers responded to the report of a gas odor in the basement of the Capitol Complex's North Office Building on Wednesday morning.
Department of General Services spokesman Troy Thompson says workers were evacuated around noon. Shortly after, officials decided to send employees home for the rest of the day.
About 400 employees work in the building for the Pennsylvania departments of State and General Services, and for some legislative offices.
Thompson says not all were at work Wednesday because of the holidays.
No injuries or illnesses related to the gas odor were reported.

Freeman at Hobbit premiere in LA (From This Is Lancashire)
National Entertainment News RSS Feed
Freeman at Hobbit premiere in LA
8:29am Tuesday 3rd December 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Martin Freeman has revealed he was tormented by his Hobbit co-star Benedict Cumberbatch even when they were miles apart.
Martin resumes his role of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug while Sherlock cohort Benedict takes on the role of the terrifying dragon Smaug.
The co-stars come face to face in a dramatic showdown in the dragon's lair in the film, but Martin said Benedict was not there to torture him in person while they were shooting.
Speaking on the black carpet at the world premiere of the movie in Los Angeles, Martin joked: "Welcome to my world. I was tormented by him even when not in his presence.
"He wasn't really there but he's very good in the film, it works well."
The movie follows on from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and The Office star Martin said his character is facing darker issues.
"Bilbo is in a different place, he's having to be different, to kill and be killed. It's a very exciting time and he grows a lot in this movie."
The cast have already completed filming of the third and final instalment of the franchise and Martin said it was hard to say goodbye to the role.
"I like him a lot, he's definitely a part of me now. He was a hard one to say goodbye to, when I left New Zealand at the end of it all I got quite choked up, I was unexpectedly quite moved.
"I thought I would be fine because I had been there for two years but it was quite moving."
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is in cinemas on December 13.

Possibilities, Likelihoods, and The World We Live In
Every fall of the past ten years brings with it an anniversary. It's one I don't exactly celebrate. I'm always aware of it and it's well worth my solemn attention, but it's not particularly been a time for revelry. Ten years ago, this fall, I went on the first date with the woman who is now my wife. The anniversary of our first date was a placeholder until we married, when of course our wedding became the cause for celebration. But now, just weeks before the tenth anniversary of this date, and only weeks after the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we are expecting our first child. There is good reason for me now to reflect on the fall of 2001.

France the Beautiful?
"If you come to France, you accept to melt into a single community, which is the national community, and if you do not want to accept that, you cannot be welcome in France."
"We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him."
Here we go again. But don't get me wrong. There's a lot to love about France. It's just that when they show up the United States in the realm of testicular fortitude, it's just fucking embarrassing.
And while we're letting ourselves get all emotional, here's a Wall Street Journal headline to edge our embarrassment closer to shame:
Crisis Flummoxes White House
President Mubarak's Refusal to Step Down Signals a Loss of Western Influence; Sense of 'Disbelief' After Speech
Let me also issue the reminder not to judge a book by its cover. President Obama only looks like less of a buffoon than his predecessor. And I capitalized the "p" in "president" only because it was the first word of a sentence. My lack of respect for the man shall not take precedence over my abundance of respect for proper grammar.

Egyptian Rebels Without a Cause
Ok, maybe that's a tad harsh. But "without a leader" would be accurate. I needed to come out of semi-retirement to remind everyone: "change" is neither innately good nor innately bad. It reminds me of an old Mad Magazine parody of the Apple "Think Different" ad campaign. Along with the words, "Think Different", there was a big head shot of Charles Manson at his most freakin' psychotic. Classic.
Did anyone not know that at some point after a leader is forced out, another leader would need to take his or her place? MSNBC is reporting that the Egyptian protesters now fear a military coup. Is anyone over there really surprised? With whom and what do they want to replace their existing government? Some guy from Google?
Replacing a government can't be easy. I'm just skeptical whether an entire constitution or bill of rights can be laid out in 140 characters.

Unseen Movie Reviews: The Beaver
From the looks of it, Patch Adams raped Nell and out came Mel Gibson's Beaver.
The new Mel Gibson movie due out in Spring 2011 looks so bad that I am still, at this moment, unsure whether the joke is really on me. The Beaver stars Gibson and Jodie Foster, who also directs, and though described by some sources as a "dark comedy", I see neither darkness nor comedy anywhere in the trailer, unless you count jokes on the audience as examples of dark humor. (Oh, and if you're new to Unseen Movie Reviews, these are reviews I write prior to seeing movies and with no intention of ever evaluating my success rate.)

September 11th
It's become easier to talk about my memory of September 11th. I will always know it by "September 11th", rather than "9/11″, because to me, 9/11 always sounded like a brand name, or a catch phrase, or a cutesy label that was placed on an event of mind-blowing magnitude that just happened to take place on the date that reads like the American emergency phone number. I will talk now about what I saw from the Port Imperial ferry terminal in Weehawken, NJ. There was a time when you could say I took a break from that, at least from getting into the details.

9/11 Politicized!
According to this AP article, 9/11 has become "politicized" with the mosque and Quran controversies.
"In the past, the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was marked by somber reflection and a call to unity, devoid of politics. No more."
Ah, the good ol' days. When people of every race, religion, and nationality could come together and unite… for what? Against what? Hey, how the fuck did this crater get here again?
While you're pondering that, take a look at these awesome aerial photos of New York City. Had they been taken on September 10, 2001, they would have been even more impressive.

"Net Neutrality": How Much Government Protection Can You Net For Yourself?
Another pseudo-concept will not die. If you follow The New York Times Technology section, you've been hearing so much about "net neutrality" that, by this point, you want to replace broadband lines everywhere with human centipedes of ISP executives, Internet content providers, and newspaper reporters. The loudest and most asinine apparently will win, so I figure that forcing them to talk into each other's asses would be a big step up from talking out of their own.

Russian Spy Sweep
Obama's latest scheme should be called a "sweep", not a "swap". The president (I again stick with a lowercase "p" in Obama's case) is sweeping under the carpet any activity harmful to the security of the United States, in favor of "US-Russian relations".
You know what we really need, Mr. president? A mosque near the Pentagon. Snap to it.

What to Do About the Muslim Cordoba House in New York City, a.k.a. the Ground Zero Mosque
The best, current Objectivist content in any media comes from Leonard Peikoff. In one of his recent weekly podcasts, in which he gives answers to audience-submitted questions, he responds to the question of what, if anything, should be done about the proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. His answer quickly set off a chain reaction among Objectivists of carefully worded, polite disagreements with, and adamant defenses of, Peikoff's position. (Shockingly, not one person seems to agree with my proposal for a big, bronze pile of dead cops and firemen.)

Tom Cruise Jumps the Couch, uh, Shark
I was reading an article about the disappointing opening (to investors) of the new Tom Cruise movie, Knight and Day. The author postulates, rather seriously, that Cruise's fail-safe ability to create a blockbuster began to evaporate after his infamous couch-jumping incident on the Oprah Winfrey show. I'd like to point out something about this couch-jumping episode once and for all that really ought to be acknowledged.

Mother Reacts to Daughter's Headless Torso
"Madame, I understand your daughter was one of the children who was playing inside the cannon when it went off. As the wife of a military hero, would you say your enthusiasm for the 21-gun salute has increased or decreased now that you've lost two family members to artillery accidents?"
If photographers were required to conduct interviews instead of gutlessly snapping photos and making a run for it, the above is more or less what we'd see.

Rome is Burning: Lyre Lessons, Anyone?
Evidently, Emperor Nero was hanging out in Antium (now Anzio), not actually playing a fiddle or even a lyre.

Obama Plugs Well His Ass With Thumb
I admit I feel a little like a bystander at the site of a burning building. A building with really cool, big-ass flames pouring out the windows. Sparks cascading to the ground. A crash of some internal beam or section of floor, causing even more spark and flame to shoot out a window, or burst out a door. A massive and ferocious red, yellow, and orange towering demon looking down at me while I smile and silently root for the fire to kick the rest of the house's ass. Not so much because I'm anti-house as that I'm pro-fire.
I might wonder, while watching in nervous excitement as the structure slowly crumbles: did someone leave an iron on? Has anyone, for Christ's sake, started a petition against iron manufacturers? Have any of these clowns, maybe the guys in the yellow and black coats and hats, sued the landlord yet? And is it just me, or is that a set of oily pelican footprints leading out the back door?

Johnny Depp, Here I Come
Today is the first day it occurred to me that there could conceivably come a day when I would consider moving to Europe, because the United States is too liberal.

Defending Towel Heads, Iranian Integrity, and Muslim Community Centers
Iran and Gaza Peace Convoys
It's fortunate that the government of Iran consists of pussies. Another way of putting it is: the Iranians know how weak they are and that their power depends entirely on our (and other Western nations') decision to leave them alone.

E-tarded E-mail: Regulatory Science
E-tarded E-mail is back. If you are a follower of this website (did you know we've been around since 2000?), then you know E-Tarded E-mail is the email version of a crank call. (Back in the day, we spelled email "e-mail", and I decided to keep that spelling for old-time's sake.)
I don't expect this particular e-tarded exchange to get very far, so I decided to go ahead and post it now. After hearing about the pseudo-concept of "regulatory science", I decided to contact one of the country's preeminent authorities on the subject, Dr. Alan Moghissi, President of the Institute for Regulatory Science and Senior Fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies. The fact that he replied even once makes me feel quite satisfied. Further replies, should they arrive, will be posted here.

IQ Level of Kidnapping Victims
Contrary to popular opinion, we have a hang-up here in America about "blaming the victim". It's a hang-up because the independentmindedness of the average American requires that the victim of a crime be given the utmost respect insomuchas a crime could never possibly be committed only due to a victim's acquiescence to the requests of the perpetrator. I.e., criminals are guilty and victims are innocent. But, if I may inquire, what if the victim is a moron? [Read more →]

Non Census
So, a blank census form has been sitting on my desk at work. I had the semi-intention to fill it out so brought it in. At first, I wasn't going to send the goddamn thing back, but then I thought about it. It makes sense that the government take a count of its citizens. Not for the sake of doling out cash to the races and other pressure groups with the loudest and most annoying assholes speaking on their behalf, but for the basic reason of knowing how many individuals need their rights protected and where they reside. This realization didn't get me to fill out the census form any faster. Which is why I was a little startled when our doorman called up to say a census worker was asking for us.

Presidential Performance Ratings on Louisiana State Disasters
Not that I want to give Bush points for anything, but I can't help but notice that Obama's response to the Louisiana oil spill is even slower than "Bush's" response to Hurricane Katrina. I find this amusing. I know 10 billion conservative bloggers will be pointing this out, but I couldn't help myself.

Obama's Nuclear Fetish: Making the World Safe From Ukrainian Terrorists
It's occurred to me why Barack Obama loves terrorists. Not that he calls any of them by their first names with any frequency, but he does seem to appreciate the fact that "terrorists" are already floating around in the ether of the public mind. It's such a vaguely defined concept that not only does it require no specific action, but it allows any action to be bullshitably linked (or if you have an antagonism to the split infinitive: to be linked bullshitably), in such a way that your mindless flailings can actually be described as constructive. "Mindless flailings", however, doesn't give Obama the discredit he deserves.
