Today we decided to add Boone to our list. It means a blessing which we both like. It's my husbands idea, so that helps. We are high school sweet hearts from Oklahoma. Since we've been married we've not been in one place longer than 2 or 3 years and don't have any real reason to go back. We live in AZ and are moving to Boston in August... With that being said we've been thinking about coming up with a good "okie" name. We like, Woody, Norman, Boone, Airo and Wylie, but Boone is feeling really good. We really like the O in Orson's name but don't want an O theme for our children... What do you think of these names? I think Boone Parker Luck sounds pretty terrific.

In Telluride: Fiber Arts Festival
Telluride resident Valerie Franzese loves quilts, but the idea of actually making one by hand used to terrify her. "I dreaded starting," she said. "I thought I would hate it."
Yet hand-stitching a quilt had long been on her life's bucket list. Franzese's mother made one – with two interlocking wedding rings in its center – as part of her bridal trousseau. "Whenever I needed cozying up," her daughter recalled, "I'd roll up in that quilt. It holds such fabulous memories."
It took Franzese 14 months to complete her first quilt, and there were plenty of times when "I thought, 'Oh My God, I will never finish.'" Yet she did. By then she was besotted with quilting, and determined to share her passion with the town she has lived in for 30 years. "Telluride is a terribly small, remote place," and it remains to be seen how the Many Hands Fiber Arts Festival, which she named and co-founded along with other local fiber artists, and has spent the past year working on, will be received this weekend, Franzese said. She needn't worry: the art and craft of quilting is woven deep into Telluride's history, just as it is into all the small mining towns around here. Quilting was a necessity in these frigid places. "It got so cold in the winter, women had to knit and stitch textiles to keep their families warm," Franzese said. Quilting is also increasingly popular as an art form; Martha Sielman, executive director of Studio Art Quilt Associates, a nonprofit group whose mission is to promote the art quilt, says membership in her organization has quadrupled in the past nine years to over 3200 members in 32 countries. Sielman thinks she knows why quilting is so popular. "Our lives are tied to computers, and people are longing for something more real and concrete – something they can do with their hands," she said. "This is a hobby that wants to be shared," she added. "Sharing is intrinsic to quilting, both during the creation," when quilters, knitters and other artisans gather together and work, "and afterwards," when their work is displayed. Franzese and her colleagues-in-textiles have made a point of sharing, particularly with young people ("all those little fingers with very sharp needles," Franzese mused) at Wilkinson Library, which offered a Kids Needlepoint Class over the summer, and in Norwood, through the 4-H and One-to-One programs. The children's works will be on exhibit in the Young People's Division of the Festival's juried exhibit. The festival itself will take place in the Telluride High School Gymnasium; in addition to the children's needlepoint samplers and other textile works, it features demonstrations, a vintage quilt exhibit and juried exhibitions in knitting, quilting, textiles, needlepoint and mixed-fiber media. There will also be an appearance by "live fiber-bearing animals" (textile-artists' synonyms for yaks, alpacas, and cashmere goats) on Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The event may end on Sunday – for this year – but for Franzese the craft continues. "I am now making a quilt for each of my seven grandkids," she said.
The Many Hands Fiber Festival is open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Telluride High School Gymnasium. The daily entry fee is $3 for adults; children 16 and under are admitted free. Among the weekend's highlights:
Friday, August 9:
--Needlepoint demonstration and tutorials, 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m;
--Drop-spinning demonstration, 2-2:30 p.m. at the Mora Cooperative Spinning Mill (from Mora, NM) Store in the Festival "shopping mall" and
--A Wine Reception at Azadi Fine Rugs (217 W. Colorado Ave.), 5:30-7 p.m.
Saturday, August 10:
--Live Fiber-Bearing Animals (yaks, alpacas, goats and more) from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in Elks Park, sponsored by Needlerock Fiber Arts;
--The first of a two-part, rust-dyeing class led by Kathy Green at her studios on 227 E. Gregory Ave. (11 a.m.-2 p.m.);
--Needlepoint demonstration and tutorials by Jenny Sullivan (10 a.m.-1:30 p.m.) and
--A wine reception and lecture on hemp at Between the Covers Bookstore (5:30-7 p.m.).
On Sunday, Kathy Green's rust-dyeing class will conclude, and there will be a drawing for the Raffle Quilt, handmade by the Placerville Quilt Guild, which took first prize at the 2013 Black Canyon Quilting Show. Raffle tickets are $1. A fiber arts "shopping mall" will be open all weekend, featuring yarns, fabrics and handmade fiber arts from various artists and artisans. Fiber artist Ayn Hanna will offer a three-day class entitled Art Cloth (printing and dyeing techniques on your own fabric) at the Ah Haa School the week following the Festival on August 12-14, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. There will be more textile exhibits in this region soon, including the Ouray County Historical Society's Vintage Quilt Show, which opens Aug. 20, and a Fiber Art Show September 28-30 at ACE of Norwood.
Jack Ingram in Ouray
Country singer Jack Ingram gives a concert at the Wright Opera House this Saturday evening as part of the Wright's Summer Music Series, now in its second year. Ingram, a Texas native who lives and makes his music in Austin, had a number-one country single in 2005 with "Wherever You Are," and was named Male Vocalist of the Year in 2008 at the American Country Music Awards. He can sing, he can write, but the music he made four years ago doesn't begin to describe him today. Ingram has since split with his mainstream record label, Big Machine (Taylor Swift was a label-mate) and today he's at a bit of a crossroads: does he go for another Top 40 hit, or stay true to his dreams, seeking out smaller venues and making exactly the type of music he wants? Chad Swiatecki, who interviewed the songwriter for Austin Man magazine earlier this summer, reported that "a listen to the demos [Ingram has] prepared over the last year-plus confirms that he's turned the corner and left the glossy studio sheen of his Big Machine days behind…there's a sparse, more rugged feel to his latest material that suggests he's headed down the road of a long line of Texas songsmith heroes instead of letting someone else cast him as the next radio-ready, easily digestible Brad Paisley or Kenny Chesney clone." "I won't make a compromise again musically," Ingram told his interviewer, referring to the slicker production of his recent records, "a pretty stark contrast" to his sweaty, rocking live shows. He's kept the sweat and the rock, in other words, added hard-earned grit, and is playing the intimate Wright. The audience could be in for a treat. Ingram takes the stage Saturday night at 7 p.m. To purchase tickets, visit thewrightoperahouse.org.

So, if you've been following my Pregnancy Journals at all, you'll know that I was still running until about 28 weeks into my pregnancy. Yeah, well, that's is not happening any more. At all.
In fact, I'm having a little trouble even getting around with my back pain and nearly constant Braxton-Hicks contractions. But WOW, do I feel horrible when I'm stagnant and not moving! Especially since my days require me to sit in a car for 3 hours and at a desk for 9.
Even though I've only gained about 18 lbs, which is well within my doctor's recommendations, sitting = unhealthy, unhappy mama. We preggies need to keep moving as long as we can!
The answer? Well, after much forcing myself when I reeealllly didn't want to, I found the answer in the form of two DVDs I had been staring at for a week or two. You know how they say that once you start exercising, you find yourself with more energy to exercise? That is exactly what happened when I started doing Knocked-Up Fitness! Continue reading

Condition of 2 Injured in Home Explosion North of Larimore Upgraded to FairThe conditions of two people involved in an explosion north of Larimore last week have been upgraded to fair.
By: WDAZ Staff Report, WDAZ
The conditions of two people involved in an explosion north of Larimore last week have been upgraded to fair, according to a Regions Hospital nursing supervisor.
Justin McMahon and Danielle Bissel were taken to the St. Paul hospital after propane fueled a deadly explosion at their home.
McMahon and Bissel's 6-month-old daughter Samantha was killed in the blast.
Danielle Bissell was reportedly found partially underneath a couch and McMahon was found inside what was left of the home, buried underneath rubble.
The North Dakota State Fire Marshal Wednesday released the probable cause of the blast, saying it was caused by a propane leak. The findings of the investigation indicate that propane was the fuel for the explosion, which was triggered by a water pressure pump being activated in the basement.
The Grand Forks Sheriff's Department said in a written release that hopefully something can be learned from this very tragic event.
Debris from the explosion flew 40 to 50 yards from the two-story house. Neighbors miles away report hearing the blast, which some described as like a sonic boom.

I love this product. From the smell to the flex hold. I will purchase for sure decent size given in my monthly box which is always a bonus.
Having curly hair, it' hard to find products that do what I want. With this product I feel my curls bounce back. It doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky or crunchy. It smells great and gives my hair an extra lift.
I love this hairspray because you only need to use a little bit in order to get the look you want. It also holds without making my hair crunchy. Would recommend to anyone!
There is nothing flexible about this hairspray. It's heavy and makes my hair look like a rat's nest. What's even worse is the bottle, it tipped over on it's side in my cabinet and leaked all over. Very disappointed.
This hair spray smelled really nice and not like that usual stinky aerosol smell. It didn't make my hair feel crunchy but did a great job keeping it in place all day!
This hairspray is perfect for everyday use. It's light, and it holds really well. I have fine hair that often falls after a long day, but this product helped keep the body and a little bit of height.
This hairspray is great. Not sticky or heavy like some. Smells nice, too! I like that it's an aerosol, too.
I'm a huge fan of the Bed Head/Rockaholic line. I was excited to receive this sample. I am not one for extra hold hairspray. I don't enjoy the crunchy feeling. This definately left my hair a bit stiffer than I had hoped it would. I think this would be great for someone who needs the super hold, but for me, it's a bit much. I didn't find it quite as flexible as I thought that it would be. None the less, still a good product.
I had been looking for a replacement for a similar product that was recently discontinued and this flexible hairspray was EXACTLY what I needed. It will give you a natural-looking hold without looking wet or crunchy. Thanks Birchbox!
it's a little stiff in my opinion though it claims to be "flexible". and the spray is kind of weird... nice fragrance. overall a pretty good hairspray.

In 2010, our employees came together for three days to connect on a more meaningful level, define who we are as a company and talk about what inspires us to come to work every day. It was remarkable that although we identified many important values, two core values really resonated with the entire community — Be an Owner and Help Others.
We also articulated our common mission, which is to Create Meaningful Connections in the world.
F2_E_ Workspace
F2_E_ Workspace
In the spirit of ownership, we set on a mission to author our own environment, and create a workplace that was authentic to our culture and our values. By collaborating with thought leaders and local architects we've created offices that truly reflect LivePerson.
We've banished physical barriers and private offices in all of our global locations. We sit in an open community, where you can wave over your teammate for a quick question, share a laugh, or bounce an idea off the CEO…who sits among all of us.
Rob LoCascio, CEO and Founder of LivePerson, Caleb Mulvena, Architect and Founder of Mapos, and Peter Block, thought leader and author of Community discuss the philosophy and process behind creating the LivePerson workspace.
Volunteers from each functional team gathered weekly with the Mapos architects for a community-based approach to designing the LivePerson headquarters office.

I assumed Can Ox were defunct like immediately after Cold Vein.
I'm not going to say Juan Deuce is better than Vordul Mega and Vast Aire, but I'd say he has way more hustle and drive. And that interview someone posted of Vast reveals how borderline insane he is.

Juan and Falside put on a way way better performance that Cann Ox.
Vast and Vordul were not on their A-game...at all.
Their new material was mehdiocre, but it was cool seeing them do songs from Cold Vein, the crowd was into it for a little bit.

To be fair, Cann Ox has never ever been known for their live performances. Like...ever. Not as a group and not as solo artists.
Glad to hear the Juan Deuce & Falside put it down though.

The Portland Office of Emergency Management along with the Portland Bureau of Development Services and SE Portland Tool Library are sponsoring a presentation on Tuesday, August 16th to educate residents how to strengthen their homes for an earthquake. This free event is taking place at St. David of Wales Episcopal Church (SE 28th and Harrison) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The recent 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan is a reminder the Pacific Northwest is also in a seismically active region. The last catastrophic quake was geologically similar to the one in Japan and struck off the West Coast in 1700. Scientists expect it is only a matter of time before the next one occurs locally.
Jim Nicks of the Portland Bureau of Development Service will provide information about the City's Residential Seismic Strengthening Program, including an overview of the program's standards and steps residents can take to better prepare their homes and to reduce the likelihood of damage.
Members of the SE Portland Tool Library will be available to explain how residents within the boundaries of the SE Uplift Neighborhood Coalition can join the library and gain free access to tools.
Volunteers from Portland's Neighborhood Emergency Teams (NETs) will also be on hand to share information about the NET program as an opportunity for Portlanders to get directly involved with community preparedness.
WHAT: Residential Seismic Strengthening Presentation
WHEN: Tuesday, August 16, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
WHERE: St. David of Wales Church (2800 SE Harrison Street, Portland, OR 97214)
COST: Free

Maybe MDC should have a subforum on effective communication in activism or something.
I am the administrator of Norways first AP-messageboard. And we actually have a subforum where we can discuss, learn and talk about how to communicate Non Violent. As in, NVC NonViolentCommunication written by Marshall Rosenberg.
Maybe that would be possible here at MDC, too?
Ooh, and I totally agreee with your posts in this thread, by the way.

Now Playing
ANNA KARENINA In this luscious, epic misfire of a movie, Joe Wright has an audacious idea for adapting Leo Tolstoy's classic novel about an illicit love affair and its consequences in glittering Imperial Russian society: he stages almost the entire drama within the confines of an enormous theater set. This highlights the idea that St. Petersburg society is itself a kind of grand, public stage, its players on display before an audience of unforgiving viewers ready to pounce on anyone who doesn't act her assigned role to perfection. But the constant artifice of everything leeches the emotion out of the story; the drama feels as counterfeit, unreal, as everything else. Keira Knightley also feels too young, shallow, and modern in the title role; her entire arsenal of pouts and nervous grins never suggest the depth of feeling Anna must experience to make us care. (R) 130 minutes. (★★1/2)—Lisa Jensen.
ARGO Quite simply one of the best films of the year. Argo surpassses expectations and manages to do the unlikely job of morphing into both a political thriller and social commentary—and one that is oftentimes humorous. While most of the applause should go to Ben Affleck, who stars and directs this wonderfully executed fact-based tale about a covert CIA operation to rescue six fugitive American in Tehran during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, the screenplay pops. Everything from the dialogue to the pacing is simply pitch perfect. Written by Chris Terrio, based on a selection from "The Master of Disguise" by Antonio J. Mendez and the Wired magazine article "The Great Escape" by Joshuah Bearman, this is one film you should not miss. Watch how well both the screenwriter and Affleck draw us deep within the tale as the story chronicles the aftermath of Iranian militants seizing the U. S. embassy, taking 52 members of the U. S. diplomatic corps hostage. Bryan Cranston and Alan Arkin may get Oscar noms for supporting roles. (R) 120 minutes. (★★★★)—Greg Archer.
CHASING MAVERICKS Curtis Hanson (L. A. Confidential) and Michael Apted direct this winning tale, bringing the story of local surf legend Jay Moriarty to life. Jonny Weston plays Jay and Gerard Butler moprhs into his mentor, Frosty. Take a life-building story filled with grief on both sides, mix in the right amount of teen angst and you find yourself in Chasing Mavericks, which also boasts a romantic storyline in which Jay meets his future wife Kim, all while learning the ropes to surf Mavericks. Sprinkle in the right amount of authenticity and you can see—perhaps feel—that Hollywood nailed it. Elisabeth Shue and Abigail Spencer co-star. (PG) (★★★1/2) —Danny Keith
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: WORLDS AWAY IN 3D The famed international live-performance sensation comes to the big screen in immersive 3D technology, thanks to visionary co-producer James Cameron and imaginative wrier-director Andrew Adamson (Shrek; The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe). A separated young couple must journey through the fantastical aerial, underwater, dance and comic realms of Cirque du Soleil to find each other again. (Not rated.) 91 minutes.
CLOUD ATLAS Asian and Caucasian, male and female, black and white actors switch roles throughout this ambitious, visionary saga of love, loss, greed, slavery, and redemption through the ages, co-written and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer. Based on the David Mitchell novel, it risks becoming a stunt movie, with Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent, and many others appearing in multiple roles. (R) 172 minutes. (★★★)—Lisa Jensen.
DJANGO UNCHAINED Quentin Tarantino is back with more violence and mayhem in a historical setting, this time pre-Civil War era America. Jamie Foxx stars as an ex-slave-turned-bounty hunter, who's out to free his wife (Kerry Washington) from the corrupt plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio) who bought her. Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Jonah Hill, Don Johnson, and Bruce Dern pop up in the supporting cast. Rating unknown. 165 minutes.
FLIGHT Robert Zemeckis directs an emotionally charged film headlined by Denzel Washington as an alcoholic pilot whose heroic efforts save the lives of passengers in a mid-air catastrophe. But did his drinking and drug use cause the crash? Unlikely. What makes Flight work so well is the fine balance Zemekis executes in a script that has just the right amount of levity as it ultimately unravels into a story of unrelenting addiction and the painful road to redemption. Melissa Leo, John Goodman, and Don Cheadle co-star (R) (★★★1/2) —Greg Archer
THE GUILT TRIP Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand star in this comedy about a guy embarking on a cross-country road trip who's finagled into taking his demanding mother along for the ride. Anne Fletcher (27 Dresses; The Proposal) directs. (PG-13)
HITCHCOCK Anthony Hopkins has guts to spare—as it were—stepping into the familiar persona and famed portly silhouette of the movies' grand master of the macabre, Alfred Hitchcock. From the lugubrious voice and eccentric diction to the baleful bloodhound gaze, there's not a second when we're not watching Hopkins play Hitch, but the entertaining spectacle of Hopkins' performance is its own reward in a film that never takes itself too seriously. Director Sacha Gervasi turns Stephen Rebello's non-fiction book on the making of Psycho, into a larky pastiche that's part backstage Hollywood memoir and part character study of the peculiar dynamic between mercurial Hitch and his long-suffering, but briskly loyal wife and longtime creative partner, Alma Reville, played with sense and sensibility by the ever-wonderful Helen Mirren. (PG-13) 98 minutes. (★★★)—Lisa Jensen.
THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY The much-anticipated prequel to the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) trilogy has its moments. But ultimately, The Hobbit suffers from the one thing that made LOTR so embraceable: heart. Martin Freeman is a suitable Bilbo Baggins, but the script doesn't quite offer enough moments to really warm up to the character as easily as we did with Frodo (Elijah Wood) in LOTR. The same applies to Richard Armitage's Thorin, the chief dwarf leading a posse of his own kind to reclaim their home in The Loney Mountain in Middle Earth. Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf and his presence grounds the film. Cate Blanchett also has an extended cameo. There's plenty of spectacle—Orc battles, wizard magic, lush landscapes—but the film suffers by not establishing more clearly the characters' central mission or what's at stake if that mission doesn't get fulfilled. Still, it's hard to resist director Peter Jackson's visual masterpiece. You just walk away wishing you connected to the characters more. PG-13. 170 minutes. (★★1/2)
—Greg Archer.
JACK REACHER Tom Cruise stars as the ex-military investigator protagonist of novelist Lee Child's bestselling mystery thriller series, delving into the sordid truth beneath a seemingly open-and-shut killing spree. Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, Werner Herzog and Robert Duvall co-star. Christopher McQuarrie (Valkyrie) directs. (PG-13) 130 minutes.
KILLING THEM SOFTLY It's all about the money. Ultimately, that's what this clever film is trying to tell us about America today. It does that via Brad Pitt, who stars a professional hit man hired by a local mob titan to kill three crooks who stole money at a Mob-protected card game. Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, and Ray Liotta co-star. Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) directs. Look for how well the filmmakers weave the economic crisis into the mix—via radio and TV reports—as the action takes place. (R) 97 minutes. (★★★)—Greg Archer.
LES MISERABLES Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, and Russell Crowe get to show off their singing chops in this lavish screen adaptation of the long-running stage musical. Adapted from the Victor Hugo novel, it's the story of a runaway convict, the officer who pursues him relentlessly, an orphaned child, and the collective thirst for justice that ignites the French Revolution. Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne co-star, with guest appearances by Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen. Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) directs. (PG-13) 157 minutes.
LIFE OF PI Yann Martel's bestselling novel about a teenage boy and a Bengal tiger shipwrecked together in a small lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific becomes a magnificent-looking film by director Ang Lee. With careful attention to Martel's core theme—the search for God (in whatever guise) through astounding adversity—Lee turns the material into a visually rapturous and ecstatic spiritual journey that's also a breathtaking adventure saga. Newcomer Suraj Sharma is terrific as the resourceful boy, and despite a bit too much talky theology in the bracketing story, cinematographer Claudio Miranda's stunning visuals make for a hypnotic film experience. (PG) 127 minutes. (★★★1/2)—Lisa Jensen.
LINCOLN The beauty, and genius, of Steven Spielberg's massive Civil War-era epic is the way it defies analogy to any specific statesman, party, or era, providing a cogent glimpse into the American political process itself, a view into the contentious state of American democracy, then as now, as timeless as it is fascinating. But the film's greatness comes from Daniel Day-Lewis' extraordinary performance in the title role, no ordinary statesman, but a moral visionary who musters the courage to prevail against impossible odds for the good of the nation. Hal Holbrook, Sally Field, David Strathairn and a delicious Tommy Lee Jones lead a sterling supporting cast, but Day-Lewis provides the film's heart and soul. His Lincoln is savvy enough to wield great power, yet never loses the common touch, and Spielberg and company impress us with what a rare and laudable gift that is. (PG-13) 150 minutes. (★★★1/2)—Lisa Jensen.
PARENTAL GUIDANCE Billy Crystal and Bette Midler team up as a couple who take in their thoroughly modern grandkids when their workaholic daughter and her spouse go out of town on business. Marisa Tomei and Tom Everett Scott co-star in this family comedy from director Andy Fickman (You Again). (PG) 104 minutes
PLAYING FOR KEEPS Gerard Butler ditches his Chasing Mavericks wetsuit for cleats in this romantic comedy about a former football star who tries to get a grip on his life and find redeem his unsavory past by coaching his son's school soccer team. Jessica Biel, Dennis Quaid, and Catherine Zeta-Jones co-star for director Gabriele Muccino (Seven Pounds). (PG-13)
106 minutes.
RED DAWN A young Marine, just back from Iraq, his teenage brother and their pals defend their hometown, Spokane, against a sneak attack by North Koreans in this action movie reboot. ( PG-13) 114 minutes.
RISE OF THE GUARDIANS When an evil genius plots against humankind, it's up to a brotherhood of legendary heroes—Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and Jack Frost—to save the day, in this CGI family comedy. (PG) 97 minutes.
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK Oh, Bradley Cooper ... me thinks you may be miscast here, but somehow this dramatic comedy works. Cooper morphs into an unstable former teacher, recently released from an institution after a bad break-up from his wife. He meets a young gal (Jennifer Lawrence, who can do no wrong these days) who is just as quirky as he is. Love, intimacy and moving on are the themes. If only Cooper—or is it his character?—weren't so grating on the nerves. Cooper lacks believability here and you get the sense he was handed the script as a means to make a quirky Bradley Cooper caper. David O. Russell (The Fighter) directs. (R) 122 minutes. (★★★) Greg Archer
SKYFALL A dynamic performance from Daniel Craig, and sterling work from incoming director Sam Mendes conspire to make this one of the best James Bond films ever. This is a more vulnerable Bond, a man who has himself been shaken and stirred a few too many times and is no longer in peak condition, a man who's begun to question if its all worthwhile. Yet he's also a reinvented, revitalized Bond who puts the series right back in the game. Factor in a mesmerizing performance of grinning dementia from the great Javier Bardem as the chief villain, and you've got a ripping E-Ticket of a movie that pretty much never lets up. (PG-13) 143 minutes. (★★★1/2)
—Lisa Jensen.
THIS IS 40 Director Judd Apatow returns to the fertile territory of his big hit, Knocked Up, in this sort-of sequel that revisits the lives of the supporting characters played by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, a few years later, as they cope with kids, family, marriage, and the march of time. Jason Segel, Megan Fox, Melissa McCarthy, and Lena Dunham co-star. (R) 134 minutes.
THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN— PART 2 Twihards should reslish this fitting conclusion to the film franchise. Ironically, Kristen Stewart—as newly turned vamp Bella—has never looked and acted more alive.. (PG-13) 115 minutes. (★★1/2)—Greg Archer.
WRECK-IT RALPH This CGI-animated Disney comedy is one of the year's most refreshing surprises—and a downright hoot to boot. Clever writing, a tight script and some brilliant CGI all merge together nicely here in a story the chronicles a villain in a popular video game who decides he wants to chuck convention, go against the grain and be something other than what he was programmed to be. Adults may see the metaphor and symbolism throughtout. John C. Reilly is the voice of Ralph. Strong supporting players include Jane Lynch, Sarah Silverman, and Jack McBrayer. Rich Moore directs this charming video game-themed delight. (PG) (★★★1/2)

But on Monday, Calhoun County Administrator Ken Joiner couldn't get the safe in storage on the second floor of the Calhoun County Courthouse to budge an inch.
No one else has been able to crack it either in more than two decades.
"I used to open this sucker every morning," Joiner said, turning the lock on the safe that has become famous among staff at the courthouse. "It's frustrating because I know this is the right combination."
The safe, a 7-foot tall, closet-like Art Metal Co. fixture stuck in the corner of a storage room near the District Court's main office, has become the center of Circuit Clerk Eli Henderson's attention since he took office in January.
"I really want to see what's in it because I love a mystery, and I love history," Henderson said. "This has really got me intrigued."
For the last several weeks Henderson and Joiner have been trying to track down the combination they think will open the doors and finally reveal what's been hiding since the 1980s. An old handwritten note with instructions and a number found in a desk drawer in the District Court's office matched the simple combination Joiner said he remembered when his office was in the courthouse.
But even after a half-hour of attempts Monday morning, the safe's contents weren't any less of a mystery than they've been the last 23 years.
Joiner said the safe predates his 40-year tenure as county administrator, and likely was purchased sometime in the 1930s. During courthouse remodeling in the 1970s, the safe was moved to the second floor as part of the County Commission's chambers, where it still sits today. When the commission left the building in 1989, they left the safe behind.
Theories abound on what could be inside, with Henderson joking Monday that it could be anything from gold bars to the body of Jimmy Hoffa.
The truth is probably much more mundane. Joiner said the commission used the safe to store check receipts, most of which were likely removed when the commission left the courthouse.
"You hear all sorts of theories," said Barbara Campbell, who's worked in the district court for 22 years and has never seen the safe open. "Court files, evidence, money, a dead body, everybody has a question to what might be in there. We're all just curious."
More importantly is what could go in there, Campbell said. Because of its weight, moving the safe isn't a cheap option for the courthouse. So until they find a use for it, it's just taking up valuable space.
"We can always use more space to store sealed documents," Campbell said. "This would be perfect for that."
Joiner wasn't the only person who couldn't crack the safe open on Monday. After several attempts, Henderson gave a call to Bobby Gregory of Gregory's Lock and Safe Co. to see if a professional lock-and-key man would have more luck.
"You're going to need a drill," Gregory said. "And it's going to cost you about $500."
Gregory said the safe itself probably isn't worth a whole lot, but could potentially interest a homeowner looking for a gun safe, if the courthouse was looking to sell.
But Henderson isn't giving up hope yet.
"If anybody thinks they can unlock the safe, than they should come on down and give it a shot," Henderson said. "Try and save their county government some money."

THE ART WORLD review of the Blinky Palermo retrospective on display at Bard College and Dia:Beacon. The Bard segment represents most phases of Palermo's career, and the show at Dia consists of his late work and magnum opus, "To the People of New York City (1976)." The author discusses the details of Palermo's brief, yet mythic, life story. His tumultuous childhood began in Leipzig where he was adopted by an employee of a steel mill. The family fled from East Germany for Münster, where Palermo lost his beloved mother in 1958. He entered the Düsseldorf Academy, where he studied with Joseph Beuys. During the birth of New York Abstract Expressionism, in the nineteen-sixties, young Europeans shook off the war-dimmed legacies of their national cultures for the confident flash of things American. To change your art, Beuys instructed, change yourself. Blinky Palermo, whose real name was Peter Heisterkamp, did exactly that. Though his influences are apparent, his work was never imitative, but, rather, collegial, absorbing aspects of Ellsworth Kelly, Richard Artschwager, Richard Tuttle, Sol LeWitt and even the dormant grandeurs of Malevich and Mondrian. Palermo's "Cloth Paintings," made of store-bought fabrics, are particularly beautiful. They are a parody of the minimalist doctrine that all painting had become obsolete. Yet their humor is also shadowed by tones of despair and defiance, a yearning for the absent intimacy of a painter's hand. Palermo's later motifs are not as impressive, with the generic feel of a lot of frittery, churning post-minimalist art of their era. The artist's life was cut short. He died in 1977 at the age of 33. The course of art since 1977 would surely look different, and better, had Blinky Palermo stayed alive.

Dear Gossips,
The Cannes Film Festival announced its lineup today featuring some strong Canadian representation from David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, and the darling Xavier Dolan. Jesus. He's only 25 years old. And it seems like every year Dolan has a film for the festival. So incredibly productive. Dolan's latest, Mommy, is screening in competition this time, his first time. I miss his glasses. I wonder if he'll ever bring them back.
More on Cannes later this morning. But after over a year of absence, Ryan Gosling will be there. And it's always a good show when he shows up on the Croisette, even though he skipped last year when Only God Forgives was part of the festival.
FYI on blog scheduling: it's a holiday in Canada tomorrow and I will not be blogging. Read Full Intro

Vampire Diaries Catchup Part 3: Episodes 14-17 Well this was a convoluted catchup, wasn't it? I mean, I'm talking purely logistically.

No Brange Cannes…but a Twi-Hard substitute
Though it was widely speculated that Maleficent would show up in Cannes, she was not on the official list that was released today. Is that a definite "NO"?

Gosling to Cannes
Ryan Gosling directed his first film. It used to be called How To Catch A Monster. Now it's called Lost River. It's entered in Un Certain Regard. This is why he skipped the Cannes Film Festival last year (Only God Forgives). Doubtful that he'll skip this year. Gosling has been working on it for months, keeping a very, very low profile.

Dear Gossips,
I'm reading a book right now called Remember The Time: Protecting Michael Jackson In His Final Days by Bill Whitfield, Javon Beard, and Tanner Colby. Whitfield and Beard were MJ's bodyguards at the end. They were with him always. And the children too. And they saw everything.
This is not about the controversy. It's not the salacious details about MJ's life that make the story compelling. What's compelling is the culture. The culture of protecting and indulging. The powerless observation. How contradictory, right? They are hired to look after him. To use brawn and aggression to take care of him against threats from the outside, when the greatest threat was happening inside. Celebrities are so afraid of what's going on around them. They seem to never understand that what hurts them most is what's killing them from within. Read Full Intro

Atlantic Coast Conference headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., is not exactly party central. But you can bet they were pouring a few cocktails and dancing on the desks Wednesday. Why, John Swofford, the buttoned-down commissioner with the nerve of a cat burglar, might have even loosened his tie for this one.
Notre Dame joining the ACC in all sports but football was a monster get for Swofford. And it's the best thing that's happened to the conference since Lefty Driesell stopped wearing those ugly plaid sports jackets.
Say what you will about the Irish, but their brand is still huge. And now the ACC gets to bask in the reflected glow of one of the most storied universities and legendary athletic programs in all the land.
Let's not hear any wailing about Notre Dame not wanting to be a full-fledged member in football, either.
Hey, I don't blame the Irish for remaining independent in football. How can you? They have their own national TV network, also known as NBC Sports. And NBC pays a reported $15 million a year for the right to broadcast their games in a deal that extends to 2015.
Besides, the Irish have agreed to play five football games a year against ACC teams. That means Maryland will play Notre Dame every two-and-a-half years or so. And the Terps will host the Irish once every five years.
Think Byrd Stadium in College Park won't be packed when the Irish play there? Are you kidding? The swells will be lining up to rent those now-empty skyboxes as soon as the first game is scheduled.
Sure, Notre Dame football may not be the colossus it once was. The Irish haven't won a national title since 1988, when Lou Holtz was the coach, although it feels more like 1958. And there were recent seasons when they were almost unwatchable, a situation coach Brian Kelly was brought in to rectify.
But Notre Dame football still has monster cachet. TV execs still love it. Advertisers would kill for it. The alumni are fiercely loyal. And with that sweet NBC deal, every game against Notre Dame is national TV game for schools like Maryland.
Here's another thing to note: Notre Dame fans travel well. And they come from everywhere, not just South Bend, Ind.
Not only that, but they tend to be well-heeled, too. If you've ever been to a game in South Bend, you know the Range Rover, Lexus and BMW count is off the charts. So are the number of white-tablecloth tailgate spreads in the parking lots.
It's a toss-up as to what's more intoxicating: the smell of filet mignon simmering on hundreds of grills or the scent of old money that wafts everywhere.
Yes, when Notre Dame fans show up in your town, they're not shy about spreading cash around.
Notre Dame joining the ACC will be great for men's and women's basketball, too. The Irish aren't exactly a national power, but they made it into the NCAA Tournament five times in the last six seasons. And with Notre Dame joining Syracuse and Pittsburgh in the league in 2013, the ACC just got way stronger than it's been in recent seasons.
As for the Irish women's basketball team, well, they are a national power. They finished as runners-up for the national championship the past two years, going 35-4 last season and losing to undefeated Baylor in the title game in April in Denver.
Along with Maryland, Duke, Miami and Georgia Tech, Notre Dame makes the ACC by far the most competitive conference in women's basketball in the country.
Other sports — lacrosse, soccer, baseball — will benefit from Notre Dame's presence in the ACC, too. But what an insane time this is in college sports, with schools packing up and leaving to join new conferences every five minutes.
Generations-long rivalries, natural geographic boundaries, proximity to other schools in your conference — none of it seems to matter anymore.
Think the idea of Boise State and San Diego State playing football in the Big East is nuts? How about Memphis, Houston, Central Florida and SMU joining the conference for all sports?
Who can keep up with all these moves? And will a new gridiron rivalry for the ages come out of, say, Temple playing SMU? Will Seton Hall vs. Houston in men's hoops be the Big East's version of the annual heavyweight brawl between Duke and Carolina?
I'll believe that when I see it.
In the meantime, both Notre Dame and the ACC made out like a bandit with this deal.
The Irish get to keep their traditional football rivalries — Navy, USC, Stanford — and compete in a prestigious, financially-sound league in other sports. And the ACC gets one of the marquee schools in all of college sports.
John Swofford should pour himself another one. He deserves it.
