Did We Just Witness The Most Awesome Night In Baseball History?
I'll be honest, regular season baseball isn't my favorite pasttime as a sports fan. I know every game counts (which tonight definitively proved), but it's hard for me to get excited about 1 game out of 162. With so many other sports to choose from, it's difficult for me to invest in regular season baseball games. Without anything of immediate substance on the line throughout the year, having the patience to sit down and watch a baseball game for three hours (five if it's YANKS/SAWX) doesn't interest me. Sure, I appreciate the history of the game and some of the more romantic elements of baseball, but the slow pace of the game and all the inaction doesn't match my sports brain that fits better with other faster moving sports.
And that's why tonight was so amazing to me. Every reservation I have for not wanting to invest in regular season baseball was shattered. There weren't just one, but three games on at the same time that had direct do or die playoff implications. 162 games boiled down to 1 for the Cardinals, Braves, Red Sox, and Rays. Tampa Bay and Boston were tied atop the AL Wild Card race while St. Louis and Atlanta were tied for the NL Wild Card. A month ago it seemed improbable with a combined 17 games separating the Wild Card races. Nevertheless, a wild month of September set up possibly the most awesome night in the 142 year history of Major League Baseball.
September 28th, 2011 was baseball's night to have its own version of March Madness, and it was exhilirating. Memorable. Perhaps even unforgettable. In fact, it may go down as one of the most entertaining nights a sports fan can experience...
It's ironic though because March Madness is the sporting antithesis of Major League Baseball. The one and done nature in the tournament couldn't be further from the marathon MLB season. Nobody's filling out office pools for the MLB season. Instead, people are pouring over fantasy data from April through September. And yet, tonight brought the best of both sports together in some sort of rare, hazy nirvana... or that could have been me just trying to understand Steve Berthiaume and John Kruk's commentary.
Remember the first round of the NCAA Tournament this year when nearly every single game went down to the buzzer within minutes of each other? That was what tonight felt like. It's that kind of instant and truly significant excitement baseball often lacks. In an age where Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube dominate - in a here and now 24/7 sports world - it's why baseball lags behind with younger fans. And yet tonight, simultaenously the Braves and Phillies were going into extra innings, the Red Sox and Orioles were a run apart in the late innings, and Tampa Bay was attempting a comeback from 7-0 down against the Yankees. If one game slowed down with a pitching change, or a break in between innings I could just switch to another equally intense, equally interesting, equally important baseball game. You may have that on any given night throughout the baseball season, but for each of those games to have a direct impact on a playoff spot in Game 162 was truly remarkable. What are the odds that there would be two walk offs, three teams surviving after being down to their last out, and two extra inning games occurring at once... and for those games to mean everything. It combined the intensity of earning a spot in the MLB Playoffs through the long grind of the season with the dramatic sudden death nature of our favorite knockout tournament.
Just like those early days in the NCAA Tournament, I found myself switching back and forth between the three games. Remarkably, a rain delay in Baltimore set the O's/Sox game on course with the Yankees/Rays & Braves/Phillies games that had hit extra innings. ESPN and MLB Net did a great job keeping viewers up to date on what was happening in Atlanta, Tampa, and Baltimore. As much as we hold Bristol's feet to the fire, nights like these are ESPN at its absolute best. I had a game on ESPN3, ESPN2, and ESPN all at the same time. It's nights like these where Twitter is also at its best. I like to think I follow a diverse number of people - mainstream media, athletes, bloggers from every sport, friends... and yet all of them were tweeting about baseball. It seemed as if everyone was tuned in to the incredible theater we were witnessing.
"That was the single most exciting and intriguing day of baseball I've ever witnessed" - Barry Larkin
Each game offered something different, too. In Atlanta, the Braves were desperately trying to hang on. The angst at Turner Field bled through the screen like a movie character trying to hold on to their last seconds of life. The Braves might as well have been the black knight, trying to fend off their epic collapse as a bloody torso. A blown save in the ninth led to eventually losing the game on a double play in the 13th inning. To continue the March Madness analogy, it was like Gonzaga's choke job against UCLA drawn out over the month of September. Tonight was the culmination, complete with this poor kid channeling Adam Morrison.
In Baltimore, the Red Sox were keeping the Orioles at arm's length for most of the night, always seeming like they were certain to break the game open and assure at least a Thursday playoff. With Tampa trailing by seven through seven innings, it appeared the Wild Card was theirs. How Baltimore stayed in the game after the rain delay was truly quite extraordinary. In the seventh, they were able to strand two Boston runners. In the eighth, Marco Scutaro was narrowly thrown out at home on a play at the plate. In the ninth, Baltimore got out of a 1st and 3rd nobody outs jam. And after all that, it was still 3-2 Boston with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth and Jonathan Papelbon on the hill. Three hits later, (inculding the last one landing appropriately enough in front of a sliding Carl Crawford) Boston's season was on the brink and the O's had somehow emerged with a 4-3 victory. For its finality, shock value, and unlikelihood, this was baseball's Bryce Drew. And I will admit, as a Yankees fan it was a little extra sweet to grab this screencap...
In Tampa Bay, the Rays had fallen behind 7-0 with six outs left in their season. Then they loaded the bases and a small glimmer of hope returned. Then it became 7-2 and the thought popped into your head that this comeback may happen, but still highly unlikely. Then Longoria homered and it was 7-6 and you knew you could be watching something special. Then Johnson incredibly homered with 2 outs in the 9th and you realized this was a game that you would remember for a long time. A guy with a .119 batting average hitting his second home run of the year with Tampa Bay down to their last strike surely meant something big was going down. And then Longoria walked off in the 12th mere minutes after Baltimore's upset and it finished the greatest night of baseball ever played. For the nature of the comeback and for the unexplainable hint of magic in the air, this was Illinois' incredible comeback down 15 with 4 minutes to go in the 2005 Elite 8 against Arizona. A game appropriately enough finally won in overtime.
September 28th was one of those nights that we cherish as a sports fan. A night where we can never predict what is going to unfold before us. A night where you don't know you're going to be watching history, but one where it could just happen. A night where even the most casual of baseball fans could become emotionally invested in every pitch. Was it the most awesome night in baseball history? For my money, it was. Of course, there have been more important nights in baseball history. Better games. More significant games, and more historic games. But for this one September night, we all got to experience baseball in a way we have never experienced it before... and may never experience it again. That's what made this night so unforgettably awesome.

Livescribe reveals it has a Pulse
It may not be quite as rapid as the company had hoped, but Livescribe is ready to show the world its Pulse.
The digital pen company showed off a prototype of its technology at last year's D: All Things Digital conference, but missed its goal of shipping by year's end.
And although Livescribe is unveiling more details on the product at the Demo trade show in Palm Springs on Monday, it won't actually be shipping the product until March.
But a demo last week from CEO Jim Marggraff shows that the pen has a lot of interesting … Read more

Moshi, Tanzania, 1 Mar 06 On a working tour of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro region, UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka at the weekend called on local officials and community groups to double efforts conservation for Africa's highest mountain.
In various meetings with stakeholders including a cabinet minister, administrators and women's groups, Mrs. Tibaijuka raised many issues concerning the mountain's conservation ranging from protecting water catchment areas to improved working conditions for porters accompanying climbers to the top.
Mrs. Tibaijuka said environmental conservation was crucial in attaining sustainable development. Because of being a national heritage and due to the fact that it was attracting thousands of visitors each year, the Executive Director said those earning a living on the mountain, directly or indirectly, had a duty to protect it.
She said human encroachment on the mountain was posing a risk to its very survival adding that it would be a disaster not only for Tanzania but the whole world if Kilimanjaro would lose some of its luster because of to human activities.
Mrs. Tibaijuka said she appreciated the fact that most people were forced to cut down trees to use as fuel for cooking because of lack of alternatives. "But one thing we must stress is that whereas it is good for one to cut a tree to make a meal, what will happen when all the trees are gone?"
On the porters' plight, Mrs. Tibaijuka raised concern that the amounts they were paid were very little and could therefore not cater for their needs despite the dangerous work they were involved in. She appealed to tour operators and the Kilimanjaro National Park (KINAPA) management to look into ways of solving the problem. She also said recruitment should be tightened so that only those porters with good knowledge of the mountain and good communications skills would be employed.
"These are the people with whom tourists interact and they must have good knowledge of the culture and history of the place so that they give the visitors the correct information which they can share back home and attract more visitors," she said.
On a visit to the nearby Usangi Mountains, Mrs. Tibaijuka challenged the area member of parliament and who is also the Minister for Labour, Employment and Youth Development, Mr. Jumanne Magembe to be in the frontline of conserving the ranges, which were also threatened with destruction. Mrs. Tibaijuka also toured the Holy Spirit Community where Catholic nuns provide training on rainwater harvesting skills. Located on the leeward side of Mount Kilimanjaro, the area suffers acute water problems.
The project is funded by UNDP's COMPACT initiative and according to the coordinator, Ms. Victoria Ndenimaki, most of those who have participated in their programmes were making positive changes in their communities.
Mrs. Tibaijuka congratulated local women's groups for the great strides they had made towards achieving empowerment of rural women.
"Use your positions to positively influence fellow women in your communities. It is a long journey but you have the will and you can make it," said the Executive Director who is also an official of Tanzania's national women's body, BAWATA.

Apr 17, 2012This is no Fight Club or Braveheart but a VERY GOOD film all the same, if you have been getting sick of all the BADLY made movies lately you should see this movie. I don't understand where this bad rating or coming from......maybe people started liking bad movies like Transformers,Battleship or the like.
Jul 15, 2012
Sep 3, 2012The movie was actually not that bad! It had some funny moments!! Which that was surprising! It had great action and great actors that were in it! And the ending is a HUGE shock!!!!!! If you like action, suspense, and some sorta funny parts then this is your type of movie!!
If you were to watch Lockout a few months from now, at home alone, it wouldn't produce more than a shrug. Movies this bad need to be revered in public places. Go see it in a mall, and try to sneak a beer or two in with you.
It's just not quite as much fun as it should be, despite Pearce's best efforts and some good chemistry with Grace. Unusually for an action thriller, this could have benefited from being just a little longer.
Apr 19, 2012Luc Besson's clunky, space-bound actioner apes '80s B-flick excess but skimps on all the good parts. Fans of really bad science and pixelated CGI won't be disappointed, though.

For The Ladies: Magnetic Fingernail Polish
This is a line of $20 magnetic nail polishes from Nails Inc. Gosh, I feel like such a sassy lil lady even talking nail polish with you girls! Basically it's nail paint with iron powder in it (also great for anemic nail-biters) that a magnet can be used to make designs in while still wet. Sure you could just have a professional paint you some designs (or you could buy crackle polish!), but then what would we do when we're all sitting around in our PJ's talking about boys? OMG girls -- what I wouldn't do to give Magneto a HJ with this polish on, amirite?! Tehehehehehe! *wig falls off, girls screaming* CODE RED, MAGNETO -- RENDEZVOUS AT THE SAFEHOUSE!

Software Patents
I am writing in reply to John Appleyard's letter (Issue #83, August 2008) regarding software patents. In his letter, Mr Appleyard is concerned about the impossibility of filing patents for algorithms in the UK.
Algorithms (and by extension computer programs of any kind) are series of exact instructions to achieve an objective. Computer programmers issue these instructions in a computer language (C, Perl, or even Visual Basic) not because it is the best way to describe an algorithm, but because it is the only way we can explain these steps to a machine.
Any computing algorithm is perfectly representable by using a natural language (English, Swahili, Russian…), so a software patent is tantamount to limiting freedom of speech. Software patents stop people sharing and expressing ideas, which is the very foundation of culture and the scientific method.
I, and many other people that know more about this than me, equate software patents with cultural barbarism. There are many people out there without any scruples who file patents with such vague language that it becomes literally impossible not to infringe. This situation, rightly, gives pause for thought to legislative bodies in which unrepentant political lobbying is not corruptly widespread.
There is no question that the work of professional programmers and software engineers should be protected, but this is done perfectly well by the abusive, anti-consumer copyright legislation we have in place.
J. Martinez
Thank you for your thoughts. Software patents are definitely a contentious issue throughout the greater world of IT, and even within the open source community, opinions can vary widely.
Although we have gone on record on several occasions with our objection to software patents, we do support a free and open discussion of the topic. John Appleyard's letter in Issue 93 represented a valid viewpoint (held by many) regarding the significant investment companies make in developing and maintaining software systems.
As we stated in our reply (and as you mention above also), the biggest problem with software patents is that they are too vague, and they don't really do what they are supposed to do. As for the free speech point, that argument would seem to apply equally to all patents, not just to software patents, since any patent can be described in natural language. Some free software advocates do indeed take this "no patents anytime" approach, however, this strategy seems risky because it plays into the hands of those who believe that software patents are just like any other patents.
I'm sure we'll get more mail on this pertinent topic as the situation evolves.
Distros and DVDs
I love your magazine, but I have one minor complaint. I've been a subscriber for just about a year. I figured with as many Linux distros as were out there I would seldom see the same one twice. I was hoping to get a greater exposure to what's available. However, in my short time as a subscriber I've received: 2 Fedoras, 2 SUSEs, 3 Ubuntus, 2 Mandrivas and a couple of others.
I really would like a lot more variety. I'm still looking for a good distro. I haven't been happy with one since Caldera self destructed. If this keeps up, is there anyway I can subscribe without receiving the DVD?

1 How long, O Lord, will you forget
an answer to my prayer?
No tokens of your love I see,
your face is turned away from me;
I wrestle with despair.
2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake
and leave me in this way?
When will you come to my relief?
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
by evil night and day.
3 How long, O Lord, but you forgive
with mercy from above.
I find that all your ways are just,
I learn to praise you and to trust
in your unfailing love!

Press Release

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Equatorial Guinea President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo confirmed his support for shared responsibility and global solidarity in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria at the session on Sustainable Solutions for the AIDS Response in Africa during the 67(th) United Nations General Assembly today."I can assure you that my country, Equatorial Guinea, is steadfast in its support for the statement made by the Heads of State and Government of the 29(th) African Union Ordinary Assembly Session in Addis Ababa in July 2012 in favor of a roadmap for shared responsibility and global solidarity in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria," said President Obiang in his speech.President Obiang recognized the persistent efforts by governments to mitigate and eradicate pandemics that affect the African continent. "Malaria, for example, is a major cause of infant mortality in many countries, particularly in Africa. AIDS is now a global problem that is slowly eroding the potential and socio-economic engine in many countries in our community, in particular the African continent. This disease is killing our demographic layers such as youth, urban and rural populations, which constitute the workforce and our human capital."In his address, President Obiang encouraged other governments to continue to fight against AIDS, appealing to the solidarity and support of the international community. "With the humanitarian spirit that characterizes the people of Equatorial Guinea, we join the effort with initiatives such as the UNESCO-Equatorial Guinea International Award for research in life sciences, which encourages the international scientific community to seek remedies for diseases that threaten the welfare and human existence, such as AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria."Equatorial Guinea is also funding national programs such as preventive education against AIDS, condom distribution, and financing of anti retrovirals for afflicted populations."A new roadmap presents a set of practical African solutions condensing shared responsibility and global solidarity for AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria responses in Africa. The solutions are organized around three pillars: diversified financing, access to medicines, and advanced health offices," said Jean Ping, Chairperson of the African Union Commission.Hillary Clinton, United States Secretary of State, acknowledged that African leaders are stepping up to help their own people and assured them that the United States will continue to support its partners. She continued to say "We have to be smart about the resources we deploy. We have to work together and learn from each other." Today, President Obiang met with Luc Gnacadja, executive Secretary of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Dr. Ikililou, President of Comoros and Jigmi Y. Thinley, Prime Minister of Bhutan.As former Chairperson of the African Union, President Obiang served as a keynote speaker at a high-level reception to celebrate the achievements of the UN decade to Roll Back Malaria last year. Equatorial Guinea has one of Africa's most successful programs to fight the spread of malaria and has reduced the incidence of the disease by 57% in just four years. The anti-malaria project, sponsored by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, Marathon Oil Corporation, and Medical Care Development International (MCDI), is currently focused on the island of Bioko, where more than half the population of Equatorial Guinea lives, and has been extended to 2013 to develop local capacity and build campaign on the mainland. The program to control malaria is part of a broader effort by the government, through the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, to improve public health in the West African nation.About Equatorial Guinea The Republic of Equatorial Guinea (República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, and one of the smallest nations on the continent. In the late-1990s, American companies helped discover the country's oil and natural gas resources, which only within the last five years began contributing to the global energy supply. Equatorial Guinea is now working to serve as a pillar of stability and security in its region of West Central Africa. The country hosted the 2011 Summit of the African Union, 2012 Africa Cup of Nations and 2012 Leon H. Sullivan Summit.

Revealed: The amazing premise behind Ridley Scott's Monopoly
The man who apparently persuaded Ridley Scott to helm a film based on Monopoly has described the amazing premise which reeled in the director. Yes indeed, this is a special treat for the board game movie adaptation fans among you, who've been known to ask, for example, just how on God's Green Earth they expect to translate Risk …
Another movie idea...
Bloke wakes up in the morning goes to buy a coffee and reaches for his wallet but all he has for a hand is a semi-circular plastic hook. He's confused and embarrassed and rightly so because the girl - who looks like she is made out of plastic - reaches across the counter and says: "How you gonna pay for a coffee with hands like that?" Bloke looks in the mirror and finds he is also made out of plastic. In fact he has just woken up in Playmobil City.
It has all the sights - plastic clip on hairdo's, plastic hats, fixed inane grins, Optimus Prime appearing to cause havoc.
So has anyone pointed out to Hollywood that the idea won't travel 'cos we all have different boards and placenames????
Just like when we all look blank when they get excited about the girls game 'rounders' and getting oh so dressed up to play rugby...
@ Bootnote
*Presumably he meant "What do I have to do..."
No, Presumably he meant "WHY do I have to....."
Bee done before
Books, films and stage plays based on board games are pretty old hat and generally a bit naff. I reckon the only person to have done it right was Lewis Carroll.
There's hope for me yet
Perhaps they'll be interested in my movie screenplay based on Tufty's Road Safety Game. I also have a few ideas around "Tonka Dump Truck: The Movie." I'd better get in touch.
Why not
I see no problem with this at all. Many movies have been made about kids games -
the opening sequence from "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" was merely a over dramatised version of Kerplunk...
Or was Sir Ridly Misquotes
and actually said
"Why do I have to be part of this movie?".
Lets be fair though, if faced with some of the more iconic films of our age as ideas on a notepad, there would be a certain element of cynicism about us.
Reading this "idea" promotes those same feelings, but lets not knock it too much, that kills peoples creativity.
I doubt it'll be a "classic", but could be entertaining and one to take the kids too perhaps...who knows?
So the secret is...
So the secret to a great film pitch is to say "and" as many times as possible?
Thanks for the plot, now i don't have to watch this once great man soil himself him public.
Hope the movie is better
that the Monopoly City Streets Online game that Hasbro unleashed on the world two months ago. Buggy, half-baked, slow, buggy. And did I mention buggy?
Yes, I'm still playing it...
Stranger things have happened/are happening.
"How you gonna pay for a coffee with that? Come back when you've got a bankable idea based on dominoes, or whatever."
A bankable idea based on the knocking over of dominoes which creates a surging cascade is easier, methinks, Lester. And just the sort of thing to emerge over a few pints of the Best Bitter down at the Boozer and Loser 42 Win Win ..... and for scribbling down on the back of a beer mat or two. It appears to be quite a familiar birthing process, by all accounts. :-) Cheers.
That's the game were you poke your little brother in the eye with a pointy stick?
I have a good suggestion or two...
The emotionally disturbed jail warden played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Loser buys rather large Red Hotel, but has to bulldoze a few small green houses, the occupant of which could be the love interest, of course.
I'll take my percentage from the gross please.
Wesley Snipes
could be a character that goes directly to jail without passing go and without collecting £200...
heads or tails!
A movie about it! Brilliant. I'm copyrighting the idea, and I want $10 million for it
A beer will do, actually.
He's a ghost
Presumably, in the ending he wakes up and "it was all a dream".
He walks out of his house to find it painted green and the screen fades to black with the words "or was it?"
@Mike Richards
"Oh fuck, it's another Adam Sandler movie"
There absolutely nothing lovable - or funny - about that insufferable tosspot.
Good gravy
The sooner LA slides into the Pacific Ocean, the better.
The Rest of America
Sounds lame
This is more proof the film industry is out of new ideas.
Mike Richards: Your comment made me spew my tea!
Best idea ever....
...so all you doubting Thomas' will be eating your disparaging words when Adam Sandler wins the beauty pageant and gets a bank error in his favour and some "random" punter spends a night in his shitty hotel on the cheapest street that everyone says was a waste of money, but actually the piddling amount of rent he receives from this one person staying there is just enough for him to buy the hotel on park avenue, get the girl and ride off into the fucking sunset in his sports car, wearing his top hat, with his scotty dogs tongue lolloping in the wind.. you will all be sitting there blubbing into your popcorn and rethinking your whole lives.
Buy shares in monopocorp (or whoever the fuck owns monopoly these days) because literally everyone will be buying a brand new movie branded board the day this movie comes out and playing it non-stop until their muscles atrophy and they eventually die of lead poisoning from touching the pieces so much.
This movie will change everything.
Or it could be totally shit, hard to say.
Asteroids: The Movie
They could probably re-use the central plot device for that outing, though that might be a little too much like The Last Starfighter for comfort!
Microsoft contribution
If it can be watched in IE 8 they could employ Dolly Parton as the community chest...
Wish me luck!
I've just finished the screenplay for my new movie, on a 1.2 million dollar advance, that has all the bigwigs in Hollywood abuzz with excitement!
If it passes the final OK, then get ready for <drumroll> Naughts and Crosses, The Movie!
(Still fighting over renaming it "Tic Tac Toe Terror", this is a religious film, NOT a horror film!)
Went with the Angel Jobs icon, since Disney is the most interested.
Too late
"I'd like you all to review my screenplay
By Marketing Hack Posted Friday 13th November 2009 19:21 GMT
For "Tic-Tac-Toe: The Movie"!!"
Already been done.
They called it "War Games".
I'm waiting for...
Mouse Trap: The Movie
They could even tie it in with a Tom and Jerry license
Just a pitch
A film pitch isn't necessarily going to bear a lot of resemblance to the final product. In Lester Haines' own words: "Quite how Monopoly: The Motion Picture eventually turns out remains to be seen".
I think I'd have to agree with Simon C that it's better to encourage creativity than slamming an idea just because our immediate impression of it isn't too favourable. Yes, I know it's hard times even in the big movie business and that filmmakers can't really afford to bugger about too much. But as others have said, there have been board-game movies before. They might not have been works of artistic genius, but if they entertain for an hour or two and make the studio a little money, no-one really loses out, and the studio might survive to be able to make the next timeless epic.
Is it really possible....
....for an entire industry to jump the shark? Apparently it is.
Mousetrap = the SAW movies with less death i would imagine.
i second hungy hungry hippos!
... they could base the whole film on the Star Wars version of Monopoly, then after that they could do a spin-off just called Star Wars.... oh... hang on sec.......
So when are we going to be seeing "Old Kent", "Lye-sester Square" and "Regent" on our screens?
They ARE going to be making properly localised versions?
Seems to have less plot...
Than Minesweeper the movie (youtube it), and a lot less funnies.
Possible grammatical correction?
I think we ALL hope he meant 'WHAT? DO I HAVE TO BE PART OF THIS MOVIE?'
Other ideas...
Do a UK based version. OK, you'd have to play fast and loose with the geography, as some streets are nowhere near each other, but hey, that's artistic license for you.
Do an action / adventure based on chess - we've already had a sneak peek courtesy of the "Many Adventures of a Boy Wizard Genius" who shares his initials with a variety of brown sauce.
Operation - screwball comedy based around a bunch of apparently hopelessly incompetent surgeons. But evidently it would probably turn out that they're so good they could practically do the operations with their eyes closed, and muck about to relieve boredom of performing the 456th quadruple heart bypass of the year...
"Scrambled Letters" - a pair of Indian software developers decide to produce an electronic version of a popular crossword-based board game for use on a popular social networking site, but then get into legal trouble with Hasbro / Mattel because they didn't ask permission beforehand.
Then there's a video game conversion crying out for a movie remake - an adventure/comedy where the protagonist tries to prevent 100 clueless creatures with green hair and oversized blue jumpers from winning a Darwin Award... and somewhat unusually, the backing track will be exceedingly dodgy arrangements of public domain classical / traditional music.
I noticed someone suggested Minesweeper earlier - I dare someone to come up with a credible plot for Freecell - The Movie. Muahahahaha!

As the earnings season continues to unfold, homebuilders seem to be the clear winners. Today, DR Horton (DHI) reported a blow-out Q1 in any way one wants to slice the report. Yesterday, Meritage Homes (MTH) and PulteGroup (PHM) reported similar results. That's why homebuilders have been on everyone's shopping list lately, and for a good reason: They have been outperforming the S&P500 by a wide margin. The trouble, however, is that the last time the sector was on everyone's radar was 2007. We all know what happened to the sector shortly after. Does it mean that investors should stay away from the sector?
It depends on the profile of different investors. Conservative investors may want to take some profits here, especially if they did get in early. Aggressive investors may want to stay with the sector, as the fundamentals of the industry continue to improve. Home prices, for instance, rose by 17.9 percent in March, as inventories of unsold homes are at record lows. Mortgage rates continue to stay below 4 percent, while the unemployment rate is below 8 percent. Most notably, short interest is still high for the sector, especially for Hovnanian (HOV) - 29.90 percent of the float -- and Standard Pacific (SPF) - 28.60 percent of the float, indicating that there still are doubters who may end up pushing these stocks higher, should the fundamentals continue to improve.
Company | Forward PE | Operating Margins | Qtrly Revenue Growth (yoy) | Earnings Growth (yoy) |
Lennar (LEN) | 17.97 | 10.73% | 36.60 | 284.40 |
DR Horton | 17.33 | 7.0 | 40.60 | 139.40 |
MDC Holdings (MDC) | 16.55 | 3.28 | 58.10 | -- |
Hovnanian | 11.77 | 6.59 | 32.90 | -- |
Standard Pacific | 20.36 | 6.52 | 43.80 | 3,075 |
Source: Yahoo.finance.com
A word of caution: Homebuilders and materials suppliers are highly economically sensitive sectors. This means that an economic slowdown could hurt the sector, especially if it results in a slowdown in employment growth or a spike in mortgage rates - the most important drivers of home demand.

If Jesus Doesn't Know, Try Google
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Fascinating street commentary on the role of technology, especially Google, in our lives. But, I think this would have been much cooler if it was actually graffitied rather than printed on paper and posted on a pole wall! Non?
[update, 2010.11.04] Wait, I just looked at this photo again. Is this stenciled on?

The Sports Xchange
EditorsNote: updates Celtics' fourth-quarter rebounding total in second graf, per change in official stats Celtics 115, Hawks 104
Guard Rajon Rondo had 22 points and 11 assists, and Jeff Green scored 17 as Celtics topped 100 points for the first time since beating the Milwaukee Bucks 102-86 on Feb. 10, which was also Boston's last victory. The Celtics (20-39) held Atlanta to one rebound in the fourth quarter while pulling down 14.
Forward Brandon Bass added 14 points and center Kris Humphries scored 10 as all five Boston starters scored in double figures. Forward Gerald Wallace added 12 points and a team-high 10 rebounds off the bench.
Bass and Green pulled down eight boards apiece for Boston, which outrebounded Atlanta 46-29.
Guard Jeff Teague had 26 points to lead Atlanta, which lost for the 10th time in 11 games and is 1-5 since the All-Star break. The Hawks (26-31) are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Forward DeMarre Carroll added 24 points, guard Kyle Korver scored 17 and forward Elton Brand finished with 10 points and seven rebounds for Atlanta.
Both teams were short-handed because of injuries. Boston used just nine players and Atlanta dressed only 10, but the Celtics seemed to have more depth at the end as the Hawks tried to rally.
The Celtics led 81-79 entering the fourth quarter and opened it with a basket by Humphries and a 3-pointer by Bayless to pull ahead 86-79.
The Hawks pulled within 92-91 when Mack made one of two foul shots with 6:43 remaining.
Atlanta's struggles from the line. Carroll also went 1-for-2 from the line with 4:49 left, and guard Lou Williams missed on an opportunity for a four-point play after drawing a foul while making a 3-pointer with 3:31 left and Boston leading 103-97.
The Celtics pulled away late as Bayless added a jumper to extend the lead to 113-102 with 50 seconds left. Bayless posted his highest point total since joining the Celtics in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 6.
The Hawks opened the game on an 11-2 run and led 23-8 before Boston rallied at the end of the period to trail 27-25 entering the second quarter. The Celtics shot 56.5 percent in the second quarter and led 58-56 at halftime.
Rondo played despite skipping Boston's loss at Sacramento last week in the second game on back-to-back nights.
NOTES: Olympic giant slalom gold medalist Ted Ligety received a standing ovation and chants of "U-S-A!" when he was introduced in the first quarter. ... Hawks F Kyle Korver extended his streak of games making a 3-pointer to 126 by going 2-for-2 from beyond the arc in the first quarter. ... Boston C Kelly Olynyk (sprained toe), F Jared Sullinger (concussion) and G Avery Bradley (ankle) all sat out for the Celtics. ... F Paul Millsap did not travel with the Hawks because of a right knee contusion.

Thanks man! Though, I probably should do some creative/imaginative pieces soon.
Omg, You actually came to visit my sketchbook! I've been stalking your sketchbook for a while now. I'm a big fan. I guess I have been saying a lot of silly things. I've decided to tackle my weaknesses head on. I'm now going to the library to draw every day. Thanks so much for the tips! I have yet to pick up crayons or brushes to draw with, but I plan on getting some soon. I have been doing gesture drawing with what you said in mind.
Thanks Dichotomy! Same goes to you my friend!
Woo, I finally hit page 2!
I've been doing mostly life drawing. I'm trying to tackle my fears head on and do anything that I'm too scared to do. After visiting the library every day, I'm finally starting to have fun, despite my fail attempts at capturing the gestures of people. I'm aiming to go every day or so. I have to make tackling my fears a habit if I want to improve. I also realize that I've been neglecting my creative side, so I need to address this.
I've never felt so lost doing something, but I fought with myself and tried anyway. The apple is my most recent one. Tried the banana and oranges first. Maaaaan, these things took me sooo long it's sad. Like an hour or so. lol
Some portrait studies.
Pixelovely 2 min gestures.
I have a lot of 10 second/30 second gestures, but I didn't bother to post them this time. Below are all my life drawing sketches, most from the library.

Sketchbook -- Any feedback helps!
your perspective is getting more solid by the day! and i want to see more creative stuff from you too! try a chow or other forum activity or come up with your own i dont know haha but use that beautiful brain of yours and give us something! cant wait dude, keep it up!
my sketchbook! Drawing like a maniac!!
My Blog
Destroy your weaknesses! theres nothing more to it! stop bitching grab that pencil and sketch Away!
Your improvement is awesome dude! Keep it up!
LionheartGFX - Aww, thanks Lionheart. You really know what to say to a person to make them feel good haha. I can't really see my own improvement so your words mean a lot to me. a chow sounds like a lot of fun! are you signed up for any forum activities at the moment?
Kiichi - Thanks to you as well kiichi! it's hard to step back and see if you're doing better sometimes. kind of funny, i posted the same thing in your sketchbook literally 1min later. how often do you practice and how long if you don't mind me asking. you seem to be going through an insane artistic growth spurt.
Today's works! Let's bring up the pace shall we!? I have an idea for an imaginative painting for tomorrow. Didn't get a chance to put into work the advice Rhubix gave me today in my life drawing though.
I have to say, drawing at the library has turned out to be very fun! Spent like 3 hours today at the library. My pencil/pen seems to just want to glide on the surface of the paper. Though, I'm still paranoid I might be trying to be too loose.... idk. Is there a wrong way to approach life drawing? I don't expect to see improvements right away, but I'm not sure if I'm even learning drawing like this.
Sketchbook -- Any feedback helps!
Mix it up. Gestures are fun, and yours are turning out nice, but try some longer poses too, where you really try to get the figure down on paper accurately. Spend like 30 mins to an hour carefully trying to get the proportions of the model as close as you can, and work on getting shading in there. Just a thought. I gotta do that myself. I like gestures because they're over so fast, and longer drawings feel like they give me more opportunity to be like, "Shit, this isn't right *erase erase erase*" over and over. Well, that's not true: longer drawings give me the opportunity to get the outlines how I want them, do the shading, and when it's done, THEN I go, "Shit, this isn't right. Why did I shade this?"
You said you want to do comics / animation ultimately. Do you ever do copies of your favorite panels / pages from your favorite comics? Might be good to try. You'll absorb a little of the drawing style of your favorite artists, which will help you with the process of developing your own style. You'll also start getting a feel for composition, camera angles, drama, pacing, etc. Copying your favorite artists, even if it's just random elements (faces, hands, whatever), is a pretty fun way to build up your drawing skills. I see that you're already into doing manga style.
See, that's kinda funny to me since I feel I'm barely treading water, just narrowly avoiding regression lol.
And as for how often and how long I practice drawing, it probably averages out to an hour every night. Judging by the volume of work you're putting in, look like you're doing more than an hour though!
I'm not sure if this helps a whole lot but when I don't have access to my sketchbook, like during a lecture, i find myself breaking down my classmates or professors into the basic volumes, gesture lines, things like that and trying to imagine the structures underneath. Maybe it isn't really helping, but it's a fun exercise to me at least and it might help you too
Keep up the good work
I definitely should mix it up. Thanks for the tip! Before I read this comment, I actually spent a large portion of this afternoon/evening being frustrated on 30 second gestures, trying to get the feel of the pose. I was trying so badly to apply what Rhubix had told me, but I think I have to balance it with longer studies. There's just something I'm not grasping in the gestures, and it probably has something to do with learning the basic construction of the figure/perspective. I don't think I've even done that many long gestures.
Yeah, my goal is to eventually work as one of those. I've copied panels in the past, but I definitely didn't put my all into studying the panels. I haven't attempted it in over a year though. I should probably give it another shot. I can see how it'd be a very useful exercise. Anime/manga is what got me into drawing, so it's all I ever really doodled when I was a child. Well, and TMNTs back in the day.
You're definitely doing well man, don't let your mind trick you. About the visualizing in life, I actually do similar things haha. Sometimes I even trace the contour of things in the air with my finger. Thanks for the encouragement and likewise! Keep posting! I want to see your progression *_*
not really sure if i'm going to update tonight, all I have our poop 30 gestures that I did in frustration.
Sketchbook -- Any feedback helps!
i second what diamandis said copying interesting panels is a fail free way to learn how other artist do dynamic shots and that fun pictures that we all seem to picture in our minds but go AAAAHHHRG HOW?!!! when we try to put it in the paper, maybe fiddling with those dynamic images we can find something useful? look at the strokes if they are visible, how clear are the shapes, where is the contrast? how is the tension and flow being handled in the picture, this must all be questions that pop into your mind when looking at others AND your OWN work, and about activities i just come up with a general theme and work from there, its usually stuff i KNOW ive never tried, like fuck i dont know graveyards? ive never drawn a graveyard, and it might give me a good oportunity to get the tombstones in perspective and design them creepy and shit...fuck im gonna go draw graveyards now man! gotta look for some reff first..busy busy!
now you go and do stuff that strikes your interest! keep tickling your brain the MOST make it work, never put a line in your paper that you havent drawn with your eye, i do this alot actually, looking at the subject i try to see what oportunities do i have to imply shape or form, maybe whats the most interesting part? alot of stuff really but mainly i try to "imagine the strokes" and then make them and see how it goes, its usually really far from my image but recently im getting closer to that! anyway keep it up!

My Blog

@Lionheart -- Yeah, haha. As always, you give good advice! The poses that always get me are those foreshortened ones. I fiddled a little bit with drawing some faces and proportions of other people's art and I ended up enjoying it. It was a fun little exercise, but I didn't explore it too much today.
I'm definitely attempting to challenge myself whenever possible. Just today I ventured into some speedpainting exercises without even knowing color theory.
Without my noticing my habits and mindsets have completely shifted in the past month or so. I now do art for the majority of the day. Sometimes I can't even sleep out of excitement thinking about what to do next. I feel like I'm finally living, as corny as it sounds.
I did some longer studies on lovecastle.org. I have to say, felt refreshing to try longer poses.
Tried to pay closer attention to the overall balance/gesture on these.
Now, I don't have any idea how to paint, so I thought I'd try this exercise just for fun and see what I could do. I definitely need to revisit these on a later date to get more out of them. Speedpaints look really fun to do. Cheated for 2 of them and went longer than 5 minutes.
This one was actually my first one
Blew my entire evening on this. I wanted to focus on construction on this one. Tried to measure the still life with a knitting needle, but even then my objects were way off. I need to try this again since the perspective killed me. Just can't see those converging lines in real life, especially on ellipses.
Apologies for crap quality, my scanner wasn't big enough for the paper. My shadow got in the way of the photo. Took a picture of the setup so I could work out the perspective later.
Other stuff

oooh maan its so good to read that you are finally having such a blast with your drawings, and yeah long poses are so freaking fun, trying to make things look GOOD and better than before! those tries at the setherial maxforums thread are awesome! did you fiddle with the gamut mask AMAZING tool let me tell ya, and it seems it was sort of invented by james gurney if you didnt heres the link for you to try your own gamut masks http://www.livepaintinglessons.com/gamutmask.php
basicly you pick an option and move it around the color wheel until you feel comfortable with the colors in the corners, after that you copy that and paste it in ps and pick colors from There only! you will find that ALL the colors in the gamut mask work with each other! more more more more!

Nice. You got in loads of practice. Where did you find that flour sack exercise? http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1359184031
@LionheartGFX - Yeah, I've come to realize I need more time in general with the poses. I've bumped myself to 60 second gestures instead of 10-30 for now. I seem to be gaining more from them at the moment. Thanks for the link, but no hadn't seen it prior to you linking me. That does look cool!
@Diamindis - answered you in your thread bud.
Tried to do a serious still life today. I'm having too much trouble with these and I think it boils down to needing to be more patient with 'em.
Self-portrait in the mirror.
Went to the library today and drew for a bit. Felt better about these, but they're still pretty poo. Trying to expand to include some of the environment in some of the drawings.
I've been really thinking about what Rhubix told me and decided to really analyze my gesture drawings. I bumped them up to 60 seconds and felt better about 'em. Not posting all my gestures since it's too many pages. Just the ones I think I've done the best for critique. I've also been doing some longer poses and I came to realize that I had more of a tendency to copy than to construct. I must fix this!
Random doodles while watching DB.
Sketchbook -- Any feedback helps!
Dude i see your dedication and progress keep at it man.
Hey Eroquii, thanks for swinging by my SB again. I wish I had some good advice for you, but truth is you know tons more about this then I do. You're basically killing it. I come around here most times just to see what you're studying, so I can go do it. Also, you get some great feedback in here so I think it's been about covered. Mostly, if I had anything to say about what I want to see, maybe to just kind of take some shots at some stuff. I like your paintings you did in post 40, I actually think the one of the lady in the specs, not boring at all. It would be cool just to kind of see what it is you want to make from inside or from imagination or just for a challenge. But studies rock too, I'm a huge fan of still lifes. Keep the fire whatever you do!
hot damn eroquii sweet gestures and dbz doodles! i specially love the dbz doodles they look likle they were fun, you are also finding the tilt and relationship of the torso/hips much better now! now its just a matter of moving it in 3d in your minds eye and being able to put it in the paper, also see you are going to the library to sketch people this is just great KEEP DOING THAT seriously, life drawing its like the room of time in dbz For drawing, it just forces you to take all the world in and you improve and realize stuff much quicker from that, if you are still struggling as of how to draw the people in the library (in the few seconds/minutes you have)
take a look at this dudes method he uploads his video in real time so you can really look at his strokes, hes been doing it for years so it doesnt need construction lines and the drawins are loose and only implying form and pose, you could take something from him and adjust it to your way of working yknow make it yours
(There are several of his videos if you want to look at it mroe indepth its in hd too haha i dont remeber but in one video he actually tapes the cafe where he is in so you can look at how loose he actually draws his figures! )

Your gestures are looking more lively already - and you're not leaving out chunks of head and feet
There are endless ways to go about gesture drawing. The way I learned was similar to what I showed you, and using longer exercises to study contour line and perspective. This type of gesture isn't the prettiest- but it really shoves useful things into your brain. Gradually we started doing contour gestures- incorporating what we learned from both exercises.
I found it a really good approach because I wasn't as strong with perspective as a lot of my peers and using a running-line gesture allows you to feel your way around. Using pure contour is more difficult because you have to know where you're going. It's especially good with thicker utensils like chalk because you can put down a whole torso with the flat side and play around detailing with the point.
In the mean time, I agree with other folks about mixing it up as well.
Just to give you an idea what the schools do- my first year of animation school:
Life drawing- (3 hours)Class would usually be 25 - 1 minuet sketches 5- 5 minuet sketches, 3-10 minuet sketches and long poses for the rest of the time (25 minuets or 2 sessions of 25 minuets with the same pose)
perspective - observation and imagination
Principles of drawing - still life drawing from observation- focusing on construction, planes, and how light worked.
colour theory - all that with the colour wheel and what not.
representational painting - still life painting in grayscale first semester - full colour second semester.
design and composition - self explanatory.
We didn't get to draw any cartoons until 2nd year animation basics (bouncing balls and stuff), cartooning, storyboarding, background painting - but they stacked more fundamentals on us too. more life drawing, anatomy - animal drawing, head & features, hands & feet
Part of life drawing was to carry a sketchbook around with us and draw from life every day.
Another thing to throw in your pile would be Bridgeman books - I like his chunky form of anatomy.
I think You've already got some Vilppu stuff- another cartooning-friendly anatomist.
As long as you keep using your brain and looking for ways to improve - you will
Happy sketching
@LionheartGFX - Thank you bud! Yeah, I'mma definitely keep doing it since it's very fun for me! I'm kinda frightened that I won't improve, so I'mma keep pushing myself. Gotta step into that hyperbolic time chamber haha. The video you showed me was awesome. I need to work on my line economy as well. You're awesome Lionheart. I appreciate all your feedback, keep 'em coming!!
@Rhubix - Thanks again for taking time to direct me. I really do appreciate it! With the information you just gave me I've gotten more of a sense of direction. I will keep grinding away at the fundamentals! I've been trying to analyze my work more critically recently, but I know I still haven't pushed myself to the fullest yet.
Again, thank you for the encouragement and tips.
Must. level. up! I must admit, somewhere in the back of my mind I'm scared I won't improve. I have to keep pushing myself. Just a few studies for today. Was mainly watching videos.
Spent a lot longer than I usually do on the still life here. I still have no idea what I'm doing with the still lifes yet. I hate this life sketch, but i'll post it anyway. =/
Sketchbook -- Any feedback helps!
Hey man, I really like your stuff drawn from life. They've got such a liveliness to them, I really enjoy looking at them. Especially the enviornment ones, I feel like I'm in it... Looking great!!
ps. The value study is also very nice!
I'm loving the hell out of your anatomy studies~
Hampton's pretty cool right?
@Cabbage Caterpillar - Thanks so much! You have no idea how much your kind words mean to me.
@vices - Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words! Yeah, I like his book. It seems to be the easiest for me to grasp, so I've been trying to make my way through his book while juggling some other ones. I like the way he breaks down the forms.
Felt like I really backtracked a lot with this post. Tried to do a lot of the exercises on the simple forms and line economy. I really struggled with the value painting again. This was actually my 2nd attempt at the candle, but I won't bother posting the other one since it was even worse. Took around 4 hours, I think? lol. Not sure whether or not to block in with opacity or not and my blending sucks.
I've been really struggling recently and I'm having trouble pointing out my flaws to myself. Please critique me! I really want to improve

You're doing better than I am with these construction exercises ... I just barely started looking at Bridgman. I know how to draw the head, ribcage, and hips as boxes, and connect them together with wires. Woo! I ordered Hampton's book too, should get that soon. Anyway, keep it up. You have serious work ethic. You'll look back years from now and be thankful you spent so much time on these exercises.
Hey Eroquii, I also have much trouble with value studies... and yes they take forever One thing I found helpful is to check my values against the actual photo every once in a while. I usually find that I am going wayyyy too light. Or that all my values are too smiliar. Sometimes I will put the photo right above or below my canvas just to compare. And then I notice things like not enough contrast.. etc. It is very frustrating sometimes though.. but keep going, you can do it!!!
You're kickin ass man keep it up. I need to work harder .__. lol

Okay, so that took a bit longer than I thought. Weak update, but I gotta get back to grinding hard! Broke my routine and now I'm paying for it by feeling like everything I do is completely half-assed.

Rookie forward Sven Baertschi will not be suiting up with the Calgary Flames for at least the next week.
The club announced on Thursday that the 20-year-old is week-to-week with a hip flexor injury that he suffered after falling in practice on Tuesday.
"I was skating and my left skate seemed to have caught a rut in the ice and my legs kind of went into a splits position," Baertschi told Calgary Flames.com. "I felt pain immediately and left the ice to have it checked. It's very disappointing to learn that it's a hip flexor injury that will keep me out of the line-up."
Baertschi, who has no points in four games this season, hopes to not be sidelined very long.
"I've started treatments and plan on working very hard at getting back to 100% as quickly as possible so I can help our team be successful and win games."
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

This shirt is perfect. The fit, the material, the color were all what it was advertised to be. It is the most comfortable shirt I now own. Definitely will be ordering another one.

Great feel to the fabric but the size was surprisingly a little larger that what was expected.

adobe doesnt want to support there product?
you delete my threads?
flash player crashes regularly.
Pat Willener is going to try to blame my graphics drivers. like he always does.

i keep posting threads because your product is flawed. you can delete i will remake.
I'm not sure what might have happened to the thread, I didn't delete it. To make sure we don't loose this going forward, I'd highly recommend you create a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com. Here's a FAQ that details everything we'll need to investigate properly:
How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?
In particular, if you can post a copy of your crash dump file (.dmp) we can take a look to see if this is a known issue.
i noticed flash was naging me to update it..AGAIN
quality software shouldnt need such frequent updates, didn't i just updated flash a few days ago???
im rude because you guys dont do anything to support anything(oh and the hulu supprt didnt care for your attitude either PAT.)
what help have you given me?? ever???you just blame my graphics drivers and then ignore me, adobe should ban you.
