A Regal Rental: The Royal Yacht Britannia
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Yachts & Sailing
For those looking for a British royalty tour, there are obvious places across England to visit. But if you want to try something a little different, Edinburgh, Scotland is home to a number of monuments that are rich in royal history. When it comes to recent history, nothing compares to the Royal Yacht Britannia, which is now permanently docked in the Port of Leith, Edinburgh.
"Britannia is special for a number of reasons," said His Royal Highness Prince Philip of the yacht, which launched in 1953. "Almost every previous sovereign has been responsible for building a church, a castle, a palace or just a house. The only comparable structures in the present reign is Britannia." Prince Philip attributes Britannia as a prime example of British design and technology of the time. The grand ship played home to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family for nearly half a century, as well as host to kings, queens, presidents and prime ministers from around the world. World leaders from Sir Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela to Bill Clinton are all a part of Britannia's gilded maritime heritage.
The ship herself is an intimate glance into the lives of the Royal family, decked out with comfortable casual furniture that recalls more a proper Caribbean estate than Buckingham Palace. The walls throughout are lined with aged family portraits. The State Dining Room is covered with gifts given to Her Majesty from her 968 official state visits all over the world, from rare giant shells to island wood carvings. No less than four royal honeymoons took place on board the Yacht, including that of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. A grand piano sits at the entrance, bolted down to the floor, which Diana herself used to play when greeting guests.

According to a forum post early in the new year by Valve Software's Chet Faliszek, the developer is still mindful of the censorship of the Australian version of their zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2, revealing that they are "exploring the options" since our country's introduction of an R18+ classification, but stopping short of confirming a submission for re-classifaction (thanks GamespotAU):
No need to flood us with emails. We have been exploring the options here and what we can legally do. We will have more information on this when we understand the issues fully and how we are moving forward but don't worry any cost associated with it doesn't worry us, this is something we want to do.When Left 4 Dead 2 was originally submitted for classification to the then Office of Film and Literature Classification ahead of its 2009 launch, the title was deemed in excess of the maximum MA15+ rating of the time and refused classification. A modified version was then created for the Australian market, removing most of the blood effects and making zombie corpses vanish more rapidly. Australian's classification legislation permits a game to be submitted for an updated rating after two years, which wouldn't be an issue for Left 4 Dead 2. However, the game was originally published, and submitted for classification by Electronic Arts under their EA Partners label, so it's possible the legalities of that arrangement might complicate things in this instance. Warner Bros. recently confirmed they are submitting Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition hoping for an R18+ classification after the game's original version was refused classification under the old guidelines --seemingly avoiding the two year requirement by the bundled DLC making it effectively a distinct product-- and Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge for Wii U recently became the first videogame to receive the R18+ stamp in Australia.

Recipe by CANDIE GRAHAM
"This is an easy and delicious way to use either fresh or frozen salmon. Being from Alaska, our family puts up with a lot of salmon during the summer. This is a very good recipe to use in the middle of winter when your family is saying no more fish please!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
3 cups water
2 pounds broccoli, chopped
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of celery soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white wine
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 pounds salmon fillets, bones and skin removed
I had to play "shake the kitchen" with this since I didn't have all the exact ingredients. I substituted apple juice for the white wine and Salad Dressing for the Mayo. It still came out fantastic. I lightly seasoned the rice (brown rice) with tumeric and celery seed. Delicious! I even used canned salmon! Will use this again!
I was looking for something different for a salmon recipe. It was easy to make; and delicious to taste. I would make this again.
12 Ratings
My daughter just became vegetarian, and I've been looking for new dishes to prepare for our family. We didn't have any salmon, but we had everything else to make this dish. I wasn't sure about how it would taste, because a whole cup of white wine sounded intense, but the sauce was divine! We served this over jasmine rice with soy sauce. Mmmm!
I changed it to fit what I like. I used canned salmon and mixed it all together and topped it with crushed Ritz crackers. It was great! I added a photo.
Replacing rice with couscous and not using broccoli, the dish turned out very salty. With the cream of celery soup, the mayonnaise wasn't even necessary. This was a satisfying and easy recipe, as well as very quick. Thank you for uploading, it was worth it :]
This recipe, >, is awesome. I make something similar with chicken. However, you need to add the mayo. Sour cream is an entirely different flavor. So is Salad Dressing rather than Mayo. Once you try it you will know what I mean. However, this recipe is even great if you cook the rice and put that in the bottom of the casserole dish, and continue with the rest of the instructions, but correcting for extra needed liquid. Thanks, Candie, I was wondering if I could make my chicken recipe with salmon, and what to change to make it work. You answered everything I needed to know. I really, really like it. Tasty, creamy, elegant and just spectacular.
This was great - everyone loved it! I used spinach instead of broccoli because that's what I had at hand. I also used less mayo than the recipe calls for, and a bit more curry. Served over brown rice.
It actually was great dish, I forgot a can of cream celery so I added cream of mushroom. I used Ranch dressing for a better flavor and added cayenne pepper just to get a little kick. I do think next time that I will add Apple juice instead of the white wine. I will definitely use this dish again. Thank you......

Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:39 amThe White Sox have the inside track on free agent outfielder Bobby Abreu, according to the New York Daily News.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Chi Sox would likely want to move Jermaine Dye first and have been in talks with the Reds to do just that. Abreu, 34, batted .296/.371/.471 last season with 20 home runs and 100 RBI. He also stole 22 bases. It could take a three-year deal to sign him.
Source: New York Daily News
Thu Dec 11, 2008 4:35 amThe Diamondbacks and Red Sox are reportedly discussing a trade of Eric Byrnes and Julio Lugo.
Fantasy Source Spin: This makes a lot more sense for Boston than the Tigers talks, though they'd have to have some idea that Byrnes is willing to be a fourth outfielder in order to make the deal. Byrnes is owed $22 million over the next two years, while Lugo is due $18 million. If acquired, Lugo would take over as the Diamondbacks' second baseman.
Source: ESPN.com
Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:41 amThe Mariners acquired OF Franklin Gutierrez from the Indians and RHP Aaron Heilman, 1B Mike Carp, OF Endy Chavez, LHP Jason Vargas, OF Ezequiel Carrera and RHP Maikel Cleto from the Mets in a 12-player deal.
Fantasy Source Spin: The numbers say the Mariners just picked up two of the game's very best defensive outfielders in Gutierrez and Chavez, and there's really no reason to think they're lying. There's no way the Mariners make this trade unless they think Gutierrez is an everyday major league center fielder, so expect them to use him accordingly. The soon-to-be 26-year-old is a career .258/.308/.409 hitter in 807 major league at-bats, but he has shown glimpses of potential. Regular playing time at least figures to result in more consistent power from him. OBP might be a bigger issue, but if he finishes at .260/.310/.450 next season, then his defense will make him an above average regular.
Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:15 amJeremy Reed was traded from the Mariners to the Mets in Wednesday's 12-player deal.
Fantasy Source Spin: On the surface, it'd make a lot more sense for the Mariners to be getting Reed and the Mets Chavez in a trade like this. They're very similar players, but since Reed is cheaper and younger, he should be the one to go to the non-contender. The Mariners, though, had tired of him, and in their defense, he really didn't show very much after getting another extended chance last season, finishing at .269/.314/.360 in 286 at-bats. He plays a pretty good center field and has flashed significant offensive potential in the past, though not so much anytime lately. Odds are that he'll only make the Mets if Angel Pagan fails to bounce back from a 2008 season ruined by injury.
Thu Dec 11, 2008 1:10 amThe Mariners picked up Endy Chavez from the Mets in Wednesday's 12-player deal.
Fantasy Source Spin: Chavez, who was given a two-year, $3.85 million contract in January, fell out of favor in the second half of last season and received just 26 at-bats over the final two months, even though he was healthy the whole time. He ended up hitting .267/.308/.330. The 30-year-old still qualifies as a terrific defensive outfielder, but it doesn't overcome his meager offense. Used correctly as a reserve, he could have positive value. The Mariners, though, should be looking to ship him to a contender.
Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:24 amRays acquired outfielder Matt Joyce from the Tigers for RHP Edwin Jackson.
Fantasy Source Spin: Joyce, 24, hit .252/.339/.492 in 242 at-bats as a rookie and showed himself to be an above average defensive corner outfielder. The Rays figure to make him their right fielder against righties, turning Gabe Gross into a candidate to be non-tendered. Since Joyce makes the minimum and Gross and Jackson would have combined to earn around $3 million next season, the Rays now have some extra money to throw at a potential DH option like Milton Bradley or Jason Giambi.
Wed Dec 10, 2008 11:40 pmThe Cubs have made trade inquiries about Chone Figgins, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Fantasy Source Spin: Figgins would make a lot of sense for the Cubs if Mark DeRosa is traded in a Peavy deal. The Angels, though, haven't recently been looking to upgrade at third base. They might be willing to deal Figgins in the right circumstances, but it seems like a long shot at the moment.
Source: Los Angeles Times
Wed Dec 10, 2008 8:51 pmRays VP Andrew Friedman said he met with free agent Bobby Abreu's representatives on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Rays are also known to have met with Milton Bradley and Jason Giambi as they seek a right fielder or designated hitter. However, they're also working on trades that might close those holes. "We made some progress on a couple different trade fronts today," Friedman said. "There's certainly a scenario in which something gets done before I get on a plane tomorrow." Jeremy Hermida, Rick Ankiel and Nelson Cruz are some of the players they've been rumored to have interest in.
Source: Tampa Tribune
Wed Dec 10, 2008 8:39 pmReds GM Walt Jocketty, very much on the lookout for outfield help, confirmed that he spoke with the agents representing Juan Rivera and Rocco Baldelli.
Fantasy Source Spin: He also plans to talk with Pat Burrell's agent. He doesn't, however, have any interest in Garret Anderson or Moises Alou. Apparently, Alou's agent called the Reds, suggesting that the veteran is not ready to retire just yet.
Source: Hot Stove Blog
Wed Dec 10, 2008 7:31 pmThe Seattle Times reports that talks with the Marlins regarding Jeremy Hermida have failed to progress.
Fantasy Source Spin: It was Adam Moore, not Rob Johnson, that the Marlins liked from the Mariners' stable of catchers. However, they would have wanted more than just the backstop to part with Hermida. It sounds like the conversations are done for now.
Source: Seattle Times
Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:54 pmMets GM Omar Minaya denied that his team had any interest in acquiring Juan Pierre from the Dodgers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Andruw Jones also probably isn't an option. "Pierre doesn't fit for us," he said. "And Andruw, we'd have to create a spot for him."
Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:24 pmThe L.A. Times reports that the Angels are considering making a two-year offer to Manny Ramirez in the event that they lose Mark Teixeira.
Fantasy Source Spin: CC Sabathia is no longer an option, so Manny would be the logical fallback. The Times' Bill Shaikin believes the Angels wouldn't go any longer than two years in an offer.
Wed Dec 10, 2008 2:50 pmThe Rays have some interest in Nelson Cruz, but aren't going to give up Edwin Jackson for him, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cruz did impress at the end of last season, but he's a 28-year-old with a career .251/.312/.431 line in 557 major league at-bats. Jackson for Cruz probably wouldn't be a good idea for Tampa Bay.
Source: St. Petersburg Times
Wed Dec 10, 2008 10:46 amThe Rays could become serious suitors for Cardinals outfielder Rick Ankiel.
Fantasy Source Spin: In Edwin Jackson and Andy Sonnanstine, Tampa Bay might have exactly what the Cardinals are looking for: starting pitching. The Yankees and three other teams are also thought to have interest in Ankiel, who hit .264 with 25 home runs and 71 RBI in 120 games last season.
Wed Dec 10, 2008 9:40 amAccording to the New York Daily News, the Mets might not be able to afford Raul Ibanez.
Fantasy Source Spin: The paper suggests that after signing Francisco Rodriguez and re-inking Oliver Perez, the Mets might call it quits in the free agent market. That's kind of hard to believe, especially if the crosstown Yankees continue their spending.
Wed Dec 10, 2008 8:53 amAccording to the Kansas City Star, GM Dayton Moore has indicated to teams that outfielder David DeJesus could be traded, but the price tag is high.
Fantasy Source Spin: "We like our outfield," Moore said. "We like the depth of our outfield. We like the production of our outfield as is." The paper likens DeJesus' asking price to that of Zack Greinke's. In other words, it's doubtful a deal will get done. The 28-year-old hit .307/.366/.452 with 12 homers and 73 RBI last season.
Source: Kansas City Star
Wed Dec 10, 2008 1:01 amThe Chicago Tribune believes the Cubs could be closing in on a deal with free agent Milton Bradley.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Cubs must have seen favorable reports on Bradley's knee to consider signing him when Raul Ibanez, Bobby Abreu and others are still available. The Tribune reports that Abreu is interested in playing for the Cubs, but that no talks have taken place.
Source: Chicago Tribune
Tue Dec 9, 2008 11:08 pmDodgers GM Ned Colletti said he has received hits on Andruw Jones, but only from teams expecting the Dodgers to pick up the vast majority of his salary.
Fantasy Source Spin: Colletti didn't seem optimistic that a deal would be agreed to.
Tue Dec 9, 2008 8:51 pmThe Braves have come away from talks with the Pirates believing the price tag for Nate McLouth and Paul Maholm is far too high, a source told the Post-Gazzette.
Fantasy Source Spin: Of course it is. The Pirates have only three internally developed players coming off good years and those are two of them (Ryan Doumit being the other). Plus, they're both inexpensive and years away from free agency.
Tue Dec 9, 2008 6:05 pmJay Payton's agent, Craig Landis, said he was told by the Red Sox today that they had no interest in any of his clients.
Fantasy Source Spin: Payton said last month that he'd like to rejoin the Red Sox as a fourth outfielder, but it seems like he did burn some bridges with the team after forcing a trade in 2005.
Source: Boston Herald
Tue Dec 9, 2008 5:06 pmAgent Ed Hayes doesn't expect Pat Burrell to re-sign with the Phillies.
Fantasy Source Spin: "I'm hopeful, but I'm also a realist," Hayes said. "I would be surprised if he's back because I have not heard anything from the Phillies that would lead me to believe the club wants to have him back." The market for Burrell probably won't come together until after Raul Ibanez signs.
Source: The News Journal
Tue Dec 9, 2008 4:38 pmA Cubs official indicated that there was nothing to a supposed Kosuke Fukudome-for-Carlos Silva rumor.
Fantasy Source Spin: The contracts are similar, but the Cubs are better off hoping that Fukudome bounced back. Silva probably wouldn't be an upgrade for their rotation.
Tue Dec 9, 2008 3:06 pmThe Dodgers did not make a new offer or reinstate their previous offer to Manny Ramirez during a meeting with agent Scott Boras on Monday night, according to FOXSports.com.
Fantasy Source Spin: There was no reason for them to do so right away. The Boras camp didn't view the Dodgers' initial two-year, $45 million contract as being anything they needed to respond to. Boras doesn't appear to be looking for serious bids at the moment. As Dodgers GM Ned Colletti told the Los Angeles Daily News, "He said that Manny still has interest in playing for the Dodgers. I said thank you for the information."
Source: FOXSports.com
Tue Dec 9, 2008 12:40 pmFOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal lists Jeremy Hermida as the Marlin most likely to be dealt, but says that nothing is close.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rosenthal thinks Jorge Cantu is more likely that Hermida to stay put. The Cubs, Braves, Reds and Rays are believed to have interest in Hermida.
Tue Dec 9, 2008 12:28 pmAccording to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, the Twins and Rays are still talking about a Delmon Young trade.
Fantasy Source Spin: There have been mixed reports on this, with one source going as far to say the Rays would never take Young back. Just yesterday morning, Stark believed there was nothing to the rumors. However, he thinks they're talking now, possibly about a deal that would include Andy Sonnanstine or Edwin Jackson. That would give them additional pitching they could use to bring in a third baseman or shortstop.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:18 pm Victorino had easily the worst season of his career as a regular, producing an OPS just above .700 and playing even worse after getting traded to a playoff race in L.A. Fantasy owners still found some solace in his career-best 39 steals, as Victorino still remained incredibly efficient as a base stealer. With a contact rate consistent with his career norm, there is some reason to believe Victorino will rebound in his age-32 season. Still, his steals total could be very dependent on where the Red Sox decide to put him in the batting order.
Fantasy Source Spin: Still a solid speed option and young enough to rebound, but there's always a risk of speedsters his age breaking down for good.
Source: Fantasy Source
Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:17 pm Viciedo got more than enough minor league seasoning after immigrating from Cuba, seeing nearly two full seasons at Triple-A Charlotte before the White Sox handed him the reins in left field last year. He performed as advertised last season, showing decent pop and almost no on-base ability. The power upside is very promising given Viciedo's youth, but he can't afford to slump with his poor on-base performance.
Fantasy Source Spin: Nice power option with more upside as long as you're not in an OBP league.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:16 pm Venable has produced three very similar Roto seasons in a row for the Padres, showing plus base-stealing ability and a bit of pop at Petco Park. The Padres have been complimentary of his contribution given their large park and limited funds, but he's still done nothing to guarantee a long-term role as more than a fourth outfielder.
Fantasy Source Spin: Even with a smaller park, Venable doesn't have much more upside than what we've seen the last three years. He's mostly a single-league play.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:15 pm The Mets' outfield merry-go-round allowed Valdespin to get his shot, and he delivered in limited playing time for fantasy owners needing power and speed. He hasn't been much of an on-base fiend in the minors, but he's started to show his offensive tools over the last two seasons.
Fantasy Source Spin: Playing time could be a challenge, but Valdespin has shown the pop and speed to make him worth adding if he does play.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:13 pm Seen by most evaluators as the most talented of the Upton brothers, Justin's Roto stats last year reverted closer to his 2010 season. He was a huge disappointment for fantasy owners after posting a 30/20 season in 2011, and a big September saved what was looking like even worse production for most of the year. Also worth noting is that Upton has seen a huge benefit from playing home games at hitter-friendly Chase Field, showing an OPS more than 200 points higher at home in his career. His current "every-other-year" career production pattern speaks well for a rebound in 2013, but it's not a smart reason to pay for another 30/20 season.
Fantasy Source Spin: First-round talent remains for a relatively cheap price, but his inconsistency has become quite frustrating.
Thu Mar 6, 2014 3:38 pm Lucas Duda was held out of action on Thursday due to lingering tightness in his left hamstring.
Fantasy Source Spin: "It's just tight at the bottom of the hamstring," Duda told ESPN New York on Thursday afternoon. "It's feeling much better daily." He hasn't appeared in a Grapefruit League game since Monday and there's no set date for his return. The 28-year-old Duda is competing with Ike Davis, who has also been sidelined, for the Mets' starting first base gig.
Source: ESPN New York
Wed Mar 5, 2014 4:27 pm Travis Snider went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI against his old team as the Pirates topped the Blue Jays 6-4 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Snider is 4-for-9 since returning from a cut finger that kept him out of the Pirates' first three games. He's competing for the starting job in right field after a disappointing 2013 season that saw him get left off the NLDS roster.
Tue Mar 4, 2014 11:22 am Lucas Duda is out of the Mets' Grapefruit League lineup on Tuesday due to a tight left hamstring.
Fantasy Source Spin: The hamstring discomfort drove him to an early exit from Monday's game, but it's not a major concern yet for the Mets' medical staff. Duda is competing with Ike Davis this spring for the starting job at first base.

Mon Mar 3, 2014 4:37 pm Lucas Duda left Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves due to leg stiffness.
Fantasy Source Spin: Consider him day-to-day. Duda is competing with Ike Davis for the first base job this spring, but they both have minor ailments at the moment.
Source: Adam Rubin on Twitter
Fri Feb 28, 2014 4:42 pm Juan Lagares went 2-for-3 with a double as the Mets' No. 9 hitter against the Nationals on Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Ideally, Lagares would show enough improvement this year to emerge as the Mets' leadoff hitter. However, it doesn't look like the team has much intention of giving him a try there this spring. If Lagares manages to outplay Eric Young Jr. and hold on to his starting job, then he'll probably bat seventh or eighth, with Chris Young potentially leading off.

Plaza History
State University Plaza
Marcus T. Reynolds
The Albany Evening Journal Building
The Federal Building
In 1907, the Albany Chamber of Commerce initiated a study of the city of Albany, and in 1912 they hired Arnold W. Brunner, a noted architect and city planner from New York City, and landscape architect Charles D. Lay to conduct this study.
A segment of the Brunner/Lay study addressed the development of the waterfront portion of Albany. Originally, there was a desire to secure a view of the Hudson River, but upon Brunner's investigation, he discovered that it would actually be a "view" of a large railroad yard, with passenger and freight trains, and a railroad bridge. Accordingly, he decided it would be better to obliterate this "view", by creating a plaza surrounded by buildings that would screen all of this from sight and create an attractive backdrop for the State Street neighborhood. This plaza would include a grassy park area and a turnaround for the trolleys from Schenectady, Hudson and Troy.
The Brunner/Lay plan was widely publicized. Articles on the transformation of Albany into a "City Beautiful" appeared in the Sunday New York Times and in two separate issues of the American Architect. In spite of this publicity, with the exception of the D & H office building and the Plaza, most of the plan was never implemented due to the change in priorities, values and tastes brought about by World War I.
At the time of the Brunner/Lay plan, Marcus T. Reynolds, a prominent Albany architect, was launching a crusade for a clean-up of Albany's then disreputable waterfront, with its "noxious wharves and warehouses," as he put it. For his appeal, Reynolds drew up a plan for a large, flemish gothic building, to sit at the foot of State Street. Reynolds based his plans for this building on the Nieuwerk annex of the Cloth Guild Hall, a huge flemish gothic structure located in Ypres, Belgium, which he had studied while he was in Europe.

Wilson Heads Martinez Transition Team
By KRWG News
New Mexico – Gov.-elect Susana Martinez says her pick to head up her transition team is "respected, accomplished, honest and a very trustworthy leader."
Martinez on Thursday said she has selected former New Mexico Congresswoman Heather Wilson to take on the job, saying Wilson will find "the most qualified individuals and principled people."
Wilson, who served five terms representing the Albuquerque area before an unsuccessful GOP Senate bid, says she's confident she'll find "fresh faces" for Martinez's administration.
Wilson says there's no timetable for Martinez to start making appointments, but a website is being set up to help in hiring people for her administration.

Think this is the same one I got from Micro Center for a little less awhile ago. Pretty decent. Base swivels, which is nice and I wasn't expecting that at this price range.
Nice. I got this back in December. It's not as good a deal now as it was only 4 months ago, but it's still great for the money. The best thing about this TV is that there is no TruMotion crap. It has it set permanently to the ideal setting, where there is NO soap opera effect, but handles 24fps sources without stutter. Adjust the picture with the wizard. Black levels are mediocre of course, but colors are awesome.
thanks for the feedback 89titanium and jmstormer. I've never seen this tv in action but i have always liked LG overall. the deal here on this set being a 55 inch LG, 1080p 120Hz edge LED slim hdtv is just such a great value imho. reviews are encouraging too at 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 260 user reviews at wlamart
LG does not mention panel type on their website but AVS forum confirms it has the chevron pattern that is indicative of IPS. This means it has good color reproduction and wide 178 degree viewing angles. Add to that a 90 day return policy on televisions from Walmart: http://help.walmart.co Do keep in mind this is a gloss screen so if you have a room with many windows you may see reflections. Manufacturers are moving toward gloss screens to improve contrast ratio. Here are some settings for optimal picture quality: The first thing to do is turn your backlight down. Way down if you are in a darkened room. This improves black levels and reduces light bleed on an edge lit LED set.

Friday's decision overruled a trial court decision in favor of the ICA, which held that the funds were "insurance proceeds held in trust for the benefit of employees and employers by the Workers' Compensation Act" and that those employees and employers had vested rights in the ICA Special Fund. The lawsuit is a challenge to HB 2051 [text], which Governor Jan Brewer [official website] signed into law in 2009. It was challenged by the ICA itself, as well as interest groups including the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the Arizona Self-Insurers Association and the American Insurance Association [official websites]. The law was intended to balance the state's budget in part by transferring money from various special accounts, including $4.7 million from the ICA's Special Fund into the state's general fund.
Russia recently dealt with another corruption case involving oil executive Mikhail Khodorkovsky [defense website; JURIST news archive], who was convicted [JURIST report] of fraud, theft and money laundering last year. Earlier this month his business partner, Platon Lebedev [defense website; JURIST news archive], received a three-year reduction [JURIST report] to his sentence. Khodorkovsky and Lebedev are each serving prison sentences for fraud, theft and money laundering that should last until 2016. In July, a senior Russian judge ordered a court to review [JURIST report] Khodorkovsky's appeal. Opposition leaders and other groups have shown skepticism about the validity of Khodorkovsky's sentence. Last year, former Russian prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov testified [JURIST report] that former president and current prime minister Vladimir Putin ordered Khodorkovsky's arrest for political reasons, indicating that Khodorkovsky had funded the Communist Party without first getting approval to do so from the president.
The UN has been increasingly concerned about the actions of M23 against civilians over the past several months. Last Tuesday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] also expressed concern [JURIST report] for civilians in Eastern DRC caught in the continued fighting between the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and M23. This was a concern she had previously voiced in June [JURIST report], stating that civilians have been in heightened danger since the fighting began. In an emergency meeting on Saturday, the UN Security Council [official website] reiterated its condemnation of M23 [JURIST report] after a series of guerrilla attacks that displaced 4,000 civilians. It called for an end to all support for the rebel group and demanded that M23 end its attacks. The Security Council had previously condemned M23 [JURIST report] in early August.

Newton Citizen
WINDER - Conventional wisdom says after tonight's 8-AAAA championship game, which tips off at 8:30 p.m. at Winder-Barrow, the Rockdale boys basketball team will be region champions.
After all, the Bulldogs (19-7 overall) have already defeated the Red Devils twice during the regular season by a combined 30 points. But not so fast - nothing is certain when it comes to the 8-AAAA title. "They're the most improved team in our region; they play very well together and move the ball better than anyone I've seen in a long time," Rockdale coach Alvin Williams said. "It's going to be a difficult matchup for us, and now they've also added pushing the ball. They get the ball up the court well now, and their man-to-man defense looks really good. "It's going to be a tough game." Rockdale has defeated Loganville (16-12) twice already this season, accumulating a combined 164 points along the way. On Jan. 6 the Bulldogs won 81-56; on Jan. 23 they were victorious 83-78. "I just want my children to understand that just because you beat a team twice it doesn't automatically mean that you win the third time," Williams noted. "I want us to give our best effort; if we give our best effort I'm not worried at all." In the first matchup, Rockdale senior Jonathan Gissentanner netted a game-high 30 points, followed by teammates Julius Giles (15), Kevin Ware (14) and Bernard Thompson (12). "Julius has really stepped up in a lot of areas - a lot of unseen areas," Williams said of his talented senior. "He defends well and knocks down big-time shots when we need them. He's one of our better leaders, (and) with a young team it really helps us." In its second matchup, Rockdale junior point guard Cordarryle Bethley led the way with 17 points and 13 assists. Ware added 15 points, followed by Byron Lawrence (12). Thompson had a big night with nine points, five rebounds, six assists and four steals. The underlying theme is that Rockdale has a handful of players who can easily beat anyone on any given night. On the other hand, Loganville has four shooters - Tyler Gunnett, Stephen Cochran, John Harris and Ryan Boulter - who can also light it up, especially from downtown. On paper, both Loganville and Rockdale are eerily similar. This season, Rockdale is averaging 68.8 points per game while allowing 62.3. Loganville is averaging 68.1 and allowing 66.8. The Bulldogs have won 10 of their last 12 games. In their seven losses, they have fallen by a mere 36 points, an average defeat of 5.1 points.

4 cucumbers, peeled and very thinly sliced
2 tsp. sea salt
1 red pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp unrefined oil
pinch of pepper
Soak arame for 15 mins in enough water to cover. Sprinkle sea salt on cucumbers and let set for several minutes to release juices. Discard soaking water from arame. Chop arame and add to cucumbers. Add all other ingredients and toss! :)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., introduced a bill Wednesday that would provide West Virginia $57 million to fix aging bridges.
The Strengthen and Fortify Existing Bridges (SAFE) Bridges Act, spurred by a bridge collapse in Washington state, provides $5.5 billion for bridgework nationally.
"West Virginians know all too well the tragic consequences that can occur when older bridges are continuously saddled with loads they were never built to accommodate," Rahall said in a news release.
"The collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant claimed the lives of 46 people, 46 years ago. Following that horrible catastrophe, Congress dedicated specific funds for the repair and replacement of aging bridges and we simply cannot wait for a similar tragedy to occur before we get serious about investing in our bridge infrastructure once again."
The Federal Highway Administration rates close to 1,000 bridges in West Virginia "structurally deficient."
Citing the Department of Transportation, Rahall's release states there are 66,749 bridges that are structurally deficient and 84,748 that are functionally obsolete nationwide.
Rahall is the ranking member on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

The theme of the recently completed spring practice season for N.C. State centered on how the team would adjust to the no-huddle, spread offense favored by new coach Dave Doeren and his offensive coordinator, Matt Canada. Though the Pack were not a most of the time no huddle offense under outgoing offensive coordinator Dana Bible, they are already no strangers to playing at a quick pace. According to Bill Connelly from SBNation's Football Study Hall, the Pack ranked 15th in the nation in adjusted pace last season, actually coming in 21 spots ahead of Doeren's former team, Northern Illinois.
Though the noise of game situations is supposed to be filtered out of the adjusted pace rankings, it is probable that N.C. State's frequent and unfortunate need to play catch up and the Huskies' position of having comfortable leads in most of their games contributed to the disparity in pace between the two clubs. Regardless, the new staff has promised to play fast. So, given the Pack's immense struggle offensively in the trenches under the previous regime, I wanted to look at whether or not going no huddle has a positive impact on offensive line play.
In theory, the no huddle offense should limit the opposition's ability to make substitutions, thus gassing the opposing unit and turning it into Swiss cheese. Additionally, a quick pace can confuse a defense and limit its ability to make adjustments from down to down.
In practice, most of the fastest teams from 2012 were efficient offensively (see chart at bottom) and enjoyed better than average line play in both running play success and quarterback protection. And the bottom line was good as well; the 10 fastest teams, all of which were predominantly no huddle, combined to go 85-45. See for yourself in this handy chart that lists the 10 fastest offenses in college football from a year ago (and N.C. State, too). Top 50 rankings are bolded and italicized:

In a coaching clinic given to would-be adopters of the no huddle offense, Tulsa running backs coach Bill Blankenship said, "[You] must be at least average. If your team sucks, and you snap the ball faster, you just give the ball back faster." So not sucking would seem to be rule #1 to successfully implement the no huddle, spread offense. But, as the chart above indicates, even teams that were not particularly good at football seemed to derive some benefits from playing fast. Marshall, the fastest team in the country, parlayed their speed into successful power success rates (PS Rt) and stuff rates (Stf Rt). Power success is the percentage of runs on third or fourth down and less than two yards to go, or goal to go of two or less yards on any down, that result in a first down or touchdown. The stuff rate is the percentage of runs that result in no gain or a loss of yardage. The Herd were well above average in both regards, and they were also good at protecting the quarterback on passing downs (PDSk Rt).
Houston, also bad at football, managed to do an excellent job of keeping the quarterback clean, and Rice, a team that was decidedly average at football, had excellent power and stuff percentages. The other Wolf Pack was good across the board in all o-line measurements. So, even if you do kind of suck, playing fast seems to help the play of your offensive line.
People think of the no huddle spread as a passing offense, but note that seven out of the 10 fastest teams had a power success percentage ranking in the top 47 in the nation. Seven out of 10 teams were among the top 42 teams in stuff rate. Because defenses are so spread out and perhaps because they are expecting the pass, lanes are opened up for the running game, even in short yardage situations, which in turn makes the offensive line's job easier. Hopefully not huddling will help a Pack running game which was among the worst in the nation last season in short yardage situations.
Another glaring weakness for the Pack was how often it gave up sacks in standard down situations (SDSk Rt). Standard downs can be loosely defined as any down where a team could reasonably be expected to run or pass (first and 10, second and less than seven, third and short, etc.). The Pack were sacked nearly seven percent of the time in such situations. Among the 10 fastest offenses, only Clemson was anywhere close (6.2%) to as bad, and seven of the 10 teams on the chart were sacked at less than half that rate. Protecting the QB on passing downs was the one area where the Pack line fared reasonably well; nonetheless, eight of the 10 fastest offenses did better. The no huddle spread should help the Pack offensive line keep the quarterback clean by emphasizing routes that develop more quickly. Additionally, the pace will hopefully wear down defensive linemen and minimize the amount of non-base defensive calls (i.e. blitzes) utilized by the opponent.
The two stats I have neglected to mention from the chart above include opportunity rate (Op Rt) and adjusted line yardage (ALY). The opportunity rate is the percentage of runs where the line does its job. According to Connelly, doing its job means that the play is blocked so well that an average running back should get the first five yards of a run based solely on the blocking. Not surprisingly given that the team managed just 3.07 yards per attempt last season (114th in the FBS), the Pack o-line was awful at providing opportunity runs for its running backs. Every one of the ten fastest teams was better, and five of them ranked among the top 46 in this regard. Again, going no huddle can only seem to help the Pack's moribund running efforts.
But it's not all puffy clouds and roses. The ALY metric starts with a baseline of 100. Anything above 100 gives the line extra credit for yardage on a running play; anything below 100 gives disproportionate credit to the running backs. Despite the Pack line's many shortcomings, AYL actually gives the line slightly more credit than the backs for what yards the team did manage to churn out. So, if I can understand all of this with my liberal arts education, AYL is suggesting that the running backs sucked even worse than the line. And that points back to Blankenship's quote. Ultimately, you do have to have some players who are good at football. Speeding things up may help the Pack line, but if the running game is to improve accordingly, Tony Creecy is going to have to improve vastly over what he has shown over his first two years, Shadrach Thornton is going to have to learn how to hold on to the ball, or one of three true freshperson backs is going to have to prove ready to play right away.
Additionally, Pete Thomas or Manny Stocker will have to do their part in not sucking at the QB spot as well. If the RB and QB spots are at least competent, going no huddle could help mask OL shortcomings and allow the overall offensive product to remain steady or perhaps even improve despite the loss of Mike Glennon to the NFL.
Here are the Football Outsiders' S&P rankings for the 10 fastest teams of 2012, ordered from fastest to least fast (plus N.C. State, which was 15th in pace). Note that four of the fastest teams were among the 12 most efficient offenses in the nation, eight of the 10 teams finished in the top half of all FBS schools, and eight of the 10 were also ranked ahead of the Pack:

Ain't It Cool's TV Critic Chats Up Actor/ Author Kevin Sorbo!! Brace Also For Wide-Ranging Speculation On STAR WARS: EPISODE VII!! Listen And Call In LIVE Saturday 8pm PT/11pm ET!!
The KERN Krew's last show before the election will be focused of course upon 2015's "Star Wars Episode VII."
Likely topics:
* Will we want to see it if Mark Hamill (61), Carrie Fisher (56) and Harrison Ford (70) don't return?
* Do we want to see them playing supporting characters while most of the movie follows Shia LaBeouf as broody Todd Solo?
* Does it seriously have to be about a third Death Star?
* Should they adhere to the continuity in the novels?
* If they dip Harrison Ford in Carbonite in 2018, will they be able to fish him out in 2021?
* Will it be as good as director Dave Filoni's 2008 "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" movie with the gay Hutt? (19% positive on Rotten Tomatoes!)
* Who wrote those treatments?
* Should George Miller write and direct it? Whedon? Abrams? Cameron? Tarantino? The Coen Bros.? Bird? Woo? Fincher? Rian Johnson? Spielberg said once he wanted to direct one.
* Should they go the "Skyfall" route and pick a talented filmmaker known more for character work than big-budget action? David Mamet? Aaron Sorkin? Jason Reitman? David Benioff & D.B. Weiss? Ronald D. Moore? David O. Russell? Richard Linklater? Kenneth Longergan? Jason Katims?
* Who should star? Tim Olyphant? Dominic West? Mark Ruffalo? Billy Burke? Jonathan Banks? Idris Elba? Mandy Patinkin? Jared Harris? Dennis Haysbert? Michael Stuhlbarg? Jeremy Irons? Olivia Thirlby? Olivia Williams? Maisie Williams? James Purefoy? Charles Dance? Titus Welliver? Ray Stevenson? Andre Braugher? Sarah Ramos? Anna Kendrick? Elizabeth Olsen? Caroline Dhavernis? Mila Kunis? Michelle Dockery? Emily Van Camp? Evangeline Lilly? Cody Horn? Paul Bettany? Bruce Dern? John Hawkes? Robert Duvall? Tom Conti? Sean Connery? Garret Dillahunt?
* Will we learn at last why Uncle Owen wore Jedi robes?
The gang will also be speaking to another Hercules, genre fave Kevin Sorbo, whose autobiography "True Strength" just hit shelves.

Star Wars VII. What will it be?
There was a lot more there than just, Star Wars VII. What will it be? Stupid talkback.
You must fill that hour! Think of all the Star Wars Horseshit that people are gonna want to talk about! You'll NEED that hour! Who's in it? What's it about? Who'll direct it? They must do this! They must do that!... Wait. Just a minute... I don't know if I can take much more of that stuff. On and on about something they ain't even made yet. Maybe two hours will be enough. Let Sorbo have his time and then open the monkey cage.

by L.H.Puttgrass
Hey, hey, we're the monkees And people say we monkey around, But we're too busy singing To put anybody down. Hey, hey, we're the monkees And people say we monkey around, But we just wanna talk about Star Wars VII And maybe Star Wars VIII and IX!
This deal is a double-edged sword. Until I see whose swinging it and what they're swinging it at, I won't know whether to jump for joy or run for cover. Disney mishandled A Princess of Mars big time. That story was Star Wars before Star Wars was Star Wars. So right now. I'm hoping for the best. But I'm also checking around to see which way I might have to run...
I'm on another vacation. Until Tuesday the 13th. I can't wait to find out what's gonna happen this time. *cough!*Isaac!*cough-cough!* Y'all might wanna stay clear of Louisiana for awhile...
carbinite my ass now so i can be here still to see this dream come true
Cameos can be holographic... but Luke returns from trip outside Galaxy. Due to time dilation, he is old but not ancient. He returns at the end of Episode 7 to discover the Jedi despise & distrust him; there is an assassin decimating their ranks as a new(old?) foe reappears. Luke must train a new apprentice on his own to help him defeat this assassin. It may turn out that the assassin has the right idea though...
Episode 7: Weirder Than You Can Possibly Imagine<p> My second choice would be Whedon.
The world is fucking turning to shit The Earth don't stand a chance Hurricane, Typhoon will destroy the city We got to clean up the skies and recycle We got to stop the over-population But most important of all We got to build a Deth Starr Deth Starr it's a fucking ship It's a son of a bitch, y'all And we're building it It's gonna take us up into the sky We don't need the Earth We gonna fucking fly sky high Deth Starr it's a son of a bitch, y'all Gonna take us into Outer Space Get your shit together mother fucker We gonna start a new Human race in the sky In the sky You know we will be rocking on the Deth Starr Total eclipse of the sky Everybody going insane Futuristic video games Everybody have a good time Synthesizing water to wine But, how-ow-ow How? I hired a nerd I fucking paid a nerd It is absurd but, I paid him to build it Cause I don't know how to build that shit That's right There's a vacuum in space It'll fucking suck your face Day or night You gots to make it airtight You gotta build that shit Make it out-of-sight The fucking Deth Starr You know we will be rocking on The Deth Starr It will be democratic on The Deth Starr There will be lots of boning On the Starr Having lots of sex with my friends Dipping candle into rear-ends Boning on a virtual plane Fucking 'til I'm fucking insane Oww! (Oh yea yea yea yeah right there Oh Bend over the space module Oh yeah Oh zero gravity fucking Oh yeah Hey look there's Uranus! Oh that shit is tight) We got to build more Starrs We got to spread out far Seven strong We gots to bang a gong But baby hold up now There's something wrong What's that? That's a fucking squid...an evil alien squid Join up ships, we got to let it rips We gotta blow that bitch to another dimension Deth Starr We got to build a hundred of 'em Deth Starr We spread across the galaxy The Deth Starr You know we will be rocking on The Starr Deth Starr We gotta build a million of 'em Deth Starr We're spread across the galaxy Deth Starr We must divide and conquer on The Sta-aa-aarr DETH STARR! So we searched the galaxy For other forms of life We got to drink their nutrients To sustain our quality of life So we scoop up the creatures Then we put them in a geodesic dome But the question arises my friend What have we become? DETH STARR!
That's the only one from STAR WARS I need. Droids and Chewbacca doesn't count since they were in those 3 movies bridging the gap between Star Wars and the Clone Wars cartoons. But more scruffy Chewie would be nice after the dolled up downs syndrome wookiee we got last time.
Who Should be considered for Episode 7: James Mcavoy, Timothy Oliphant, Nathan Fillion, Olivia Wild, Olga Kurylenko, Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Ralph Fines, Christoph Waltz, Noomi Repace, Saoirse Ronan, Marian Cotliard Young characters should probably be unknowns though. Under no circumstances should these actors be in Episode 7: Shia LeBouf, Justin Timberlake, Kristen Stewart, Benn Affleck, Matt Damon, Emma Stone For starters...

"Will we learn at last why Uncle Owen wore Jedi robes?" - Blame Lucas...They were Tatooine Robes
by MasterControlProgram
Owen, Luke, Ben and Beru wore robes on Tatooine because it was a desert planet. Jedi wore cloaks sometimes (Yoda) and even Luke wore a black cloak, but did not wear any type of robe ensemble as his Jedi outfit. He wore a black uniform of some type. Another example of Lucas not paying attention to what he had previously written. Thank God Star Wars is in new hands. -- End of Line --
What is the source of this Truth? Absolute? Grey Goose? Smirnoff? ;)
Eh? Adjust the filter on your Email. I don't know what to tell you about that problem. But... Tonight we do get an extra hour. DST gives it back. Do you get an extra hour? Hmmm. Third hour. It's perfect timing.

Has anyone seen gotilk? Anywhere? At all? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I don't think I've seen him on here in weeks. It's definitely been awhile. 'hope he's on a sunny beach somewhere with a refreshing beverage.
exactly, there are so many things that don't add up at all, it's like someone else wrote the stuff *cough, his teenage daughter cough* Whatever happens with the Disney Star Wars, I'm 100% sure they will be better than what we saw last time.
I'll explain on air tonight, time permitting. No third hour. Sorry. But we are in talks to try and expand. No details at this time. On with the show...!!!
When you wipeout all those Jedi Knights, that puts a lot of clothing in the Empire's Goodwill hopper. Maybe Uncle Owen was thrifty.

It needs characters that are caught up in something that larger, older and bigger than themselves.
by Ingeld
They discover or found out they had important roles and identities in the universe, but it was a bigger universe than just them. That is what made the first trilogy better. We identify with that since most people are caught up in a world they have little control in shaping. The second trilogy abandoned that. It was about characters who were the center of the universe, who founded and shaped or created the major events of the universe. It played out like a political spectacle with players few could relate to.
Long Live the D.
Similar bone structure as well. Lucas is a Farscape nut, and was rumored to be a silent financier of The Peacekeeper Wars.

All I care is that they DO NOT take the stories from the EU novels
by FrodoFraggins
They can maybe grab some characters, but no Solo or Skywalker kids please. I read the first Zahn trilogy and while it was entertaining it was not worthy of making into a movie. The one storyline I kind of liked from the EU was the idea of a major new enemy to both the rebels and empire. I didn't read those books but the idea itself was good.
Do anyone love Anakin Skywalker enough to covet that?
Nov. 3, 2012, 5:45 p.m. CST
The Amazon link for the Kevin Sorbo book really adds that AICN touch of class...

Wait, you mean there's continuity in the novels? You mean in one particular year or something?
by MichaelH
A Kenneth Lonergan Star Wars movie is such a radical idea it would tear the world to shreds. If you want your space epics OPERATIC!!!! He Haz 'Em. And he refuses to cut more than 20 minutes from his 4 hour first cut. And somebody can finally tell Chewie that he is being fucking strident.
Apologies to cobra--kai. :)
Excellent choice! She's about 10 years older than Fisher was in Jedi. It could work.
gotilk posted a comment in one of the tb's, can't remember which one, within the last 3 days. Maybe he'll show up tonight.
I guarantee Mark Hamill will return as Luke Skywalker. Leia and Han will not be in the story, but may be referred to in some capacity. It's going to be fascinating to watch as more details come in over the next couple of years. By the way, no matter what we may think of George Lucas's decisions involving Star Wars, word has it he 's donating most of that money to charities involving education. In the end, he redeems himself, and proves there is more important things in life than just movies.
...I hope somebody steps forward with a confession about the lab and the daisies...

Here's something I posted in the Big Frozen Star Wars Talkback
by L.H.Puttgrass
Ah, just look at this TB. Not one frame of film has been shot and already lines have been drawn in the sand. Sides have been taken. Decisions made. It can't be like this! It has to be based on that! It must have Thrawn! Can't have Thrawn! I know you can't please everyone, but this will be ridiculous! Watching the clues, spy photos, and bits & pieces of plot come out over the next couple of years will be priceless. 'It should be a prequel!' 'It should have been a sequel!' 'That looks all wrong!' 'That's amazing! What a design!' 'Where are the Ewoks?' 'Thank Heaven there's no Ewoks!' 'A jedi would never do that.' 'What? No new Deathstar?' 'I would do this all differently.' 'You've put a mouse right up my childhood's ass! This is worse than rape!' 'Wow, these new ship designs look cool!' 'It just doesn't feel like Star Wars.' 'Is this guy supposed to be the new Vader or something?' 'Does anybody know how to get this mouse out of my childhood's ass? OW! I think it's nibbling! ANYBODY?!' 'I'll be there opening day!' Oh, yeah! This will be fun. And the movie might even be cool...
After the hour three comment?
Just watching all the people tripping over themselves to guess what Episode VII will be about and who is in it and everything else. Fun shit.
Is this hate based on his politics?

Are you guys familiar with HK-47 from Knights of the Old Republic?
by Shermdawg
How cool would it be if he popped up?
and the Brit sheriff who died in season 1 was originally Sherlock Holmes, but they could not secure the rights.

LEAKED INFO ON NEW TRILOGY ? - Potential Spoilers - This Could Be Real.
by IDIOTMAGNET
Disney now has the power to make STAR WARS films, and everything else in the Lucasfilm archives. The movies I told you about are indeed the primary focus. Luke Skywalker is a primary focus, as are many of the original trilogy cast. Disney also realised that George Lucas and STAR WARS are one and the same, so George will certainly have a voice on any angle taken, in fact I believe it's one of many stipulations. However he will no longer have creative control, and as I said before George was already looking at other creative talents to bring his canon to life back before Disney and Lucasfilm really started negotiating (or at least to the best of my knowledge)...

So you get speeders that look like 57 Chevys
Chin up, my man!

So hot in that movie. So hot. So very very hot. Man, she was hot.

Thank God Non of You have a Sketch Comedy Group, Would Suck Harder Than Rick Mccallum on George Lukas's Penis.
by IDIOTMAGNET
Also STAR TREK sucks. So do all of the STARWARS movies except one.
This is useless Sequel banter. It's VII, VIII, and IX.
Starring Jon Hamm
Brad Bird!
Really? They all suck? Except one? Does the idiotmagnet draw idiots to you or does it draw idiotness to you, making you more of an idiot? I'm wondering. ;)
We've spent the last decade arguing over the shitty prequels. Now there is New Hope for something better, but it still more fucking prequel bullshit. Fuck! Rant over.
Wookie power!

@I.H. They All Suck Except For Episode 1. The Phantom Menace was a Tour de Force!!!
by IDIOTMAGNET
This show 80% prequel, 15% sequel, 4% Pearl Jam 1% Dogs
Nov. 3, 2012, 11:46 p.m. CST
A NEW DAWN....Is the Title for Episode 7. According to BleedingCool, and GeekTyrant.
by IDIOTMAGNET
Kathleen was brought in because of Rick
Oh and don't feed the trolls l.h. They'll go back to the bridge if you ignore them.
And you may have struck your head on something hard and sharp. Please check yourself for bleeding. Ep 1. Really? All the others suck? I think you're losing blood fast. Get to an ER.
Nov. 3, 2012, 11:56 p.m. CST
@I.h.Buttgrass. Episode 1 is the best Starwars so far. The Characters and Story Were Amazing. Did you even see it ?
by IDIOTMAGNET
Darth Maul and Qui Gonz, it was really good and expanded the universe perfectly. I saw it 6 times.
But you're right about the trolls. idiotmagnet, indeed. ;P

Here it comes! The Stop Obama Express!! WOO!! WOOOOO!!
by L.H.Puttgrass
Hannity you kill me.
Who needs Sorbo, anyway? Catch y'all on the show and peeps in the talkback next week.
And I was disappointed in Sorbo's bail and the way the claws came out immediately thereafter. Should've watched SNL...sorry Herc.
Did u ask Kevin Sorbo about it?
Even missed the end of SNL.
Nov. 4, 2012, 2:02 a.m. CST
Funny thing, since this news hit I've suddenly gotten a new urge to see the three SW movies on blu.
by DidntPullOutInTimeCop
Had them since they came out, but never really felt like seeing them. Now at the thought of Luke as an older jedi master, I might pop one of them on tonight. Remember that deleted scene from Jedi of Luke finishing his lightsaber? Nostalgia!
Confucian Star Wars (7-9): - Order is based on hierarchy. - Liberty/individualism is a threat to security. - Security can only be achieved by service and duty. Star Wars 1-6 were Taoistic. Auteur filmmaking is individualistic (taoistic) Studio filmmaking is control (communistic/Confucian) and has no artistic soul. It seems counterintuitive, but populist filmmaking is control freak, while auteur filmmaking is letting go.
Would be fine as long as it's in the treatment. Stick to George's treatment, and don't veer.
Nov. 4, 2012, 6:50 a.m. CST
No one asked Kevin Sorbo anything because Sorbo didn't show up for the show.
by L.H.Puttgrass
It was something about a lost dog in a field of daisies.
Sorry~ had to get that out of my system. Best thing about that show was that it birthed Xena, a similar but superior product.
It seems like ol' Georgie may have this mapped out pretty well already, which is good in my opinion... The writers & directors will be merely filtering his vision. I think people are overthinking Disney's influence at this point... Once George truly embraces the Force and passes away, then you will truly have wild posssibility. By then, I'm sure the next medium will be virtual & you will truly be a co-author.
The real speculation is how they're going to pull off the elder Leia and Solo; and what/who will be the villians of the 'new' Star Wars trilogies.
BWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAA!!! That was funny.
You're speculation comment was exactly the kind of talk I wanted in last night's show. Didn't happen. I'm really trying to focus on future possibilities of Star Wars, not the mistakes of the past.
Damn it!! Not a plant...really...the show is really bad, but love the idea of it and the cast...their podcast is really good.
We miss you brother, hope everything's alright.
