Although it's nearly impossible to imagine any of us (besides Casey!) sending positive vibes Rob Zombie's way, I can honestly say I've always had very high hopes for "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto," a Lucha Libre inspired animated feature that mixes sex, violence, and general wackiness with an oddly stacked cast of famous and semi-famous voice actors such as Rosario Dawson and Paul Giamatti. As this trailer indicates, "...Superbeasto" won't at all resemble a high-end experience, but looks to be pretty fun.
Hey there, gang! Louis here, wrangling this morning's news from BGH boss Eric's cold, baby-like hands, delivering it fresh to you as you waste your company's time and money.
In what amounts to "jumping the shark" for two icons of horror, Dynamite Entertainment has announced the four-issue limited series "Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama". Apparently, the Necronomicon ends up in the White House and Deadite wackiness ensues. Maybe it's violent demon possessions and boom-sticking that's keeping Obama from crafting a plan for increased gay rights? Am I right, gays?? Can I get a what-what???
The remake of Larry Cohen's iconic mutant killer baby flick "It's Alive", about, um, a mutant killer baby, starring unknown James Murray and the vapid Bijou Phillips, goes straight to DVD from First Look Pictures on October 6. First Look might as well be considered horror's charitable foster family, adopting such previously troubled horror movies as the "Day of the Dead" remake and Lindsay Lohan's pregnancy laffer "Labor Pains", which I wish they had mashed "It's Alive" up with.
Is 2009 the year of Rob Zombie? For those of us with a mild distaste for Eric, let's hope so! Not only is the much anticipated "Halloween 2" coming soon, on September 22, Zombie's long-gestating animated comedy "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto" finally makes it's way to the small-screen. El Superbeasto is based on a character from his short-lived anthology comic series and featuring the voices of Paul Giamatti, Sid Haig, Danny Trejo and everyone else you'd expect from Zombie. (In other Anchor Bay news, they're also releasing one of my childhood cables faves "Hardbodies" on August 18th. It's a one-way ticket to Boner City!)
A Connecticut church has come under fire for performing "gay exorcisms" on teens struggling with their homosexuality. Surprisingly enough, it's not a Catholic church...phew! Close one, guys! Hmmm...demons? Gays? Where's Ash??
An Oklahoma City woman pleaded "no contest" to prostitution charges after being accused of trading sex for a case of corn chips from a Frito Lay employee. Being from OKC myself, I can tell you from experience that you don't need a case of chips to get a Robinson Ave. hooker—a 99 cent grab bag'll work just fine. I guess you can say it's the best city in America to get "Frito Layed"!!! HAHAHAHA LOL FART.
In 1925, Charlie Chaplin's "The Gold Rush" premieres, thus creating a new type of pretentious comedy nerd who will swear up 'n' down that Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers will never be equaled to in the world of comedy and the fact that you think Will Ferrell is funny makes you a plebeian who is beneath them. (In the music world, see "fans of prog rock".) Until next time, keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars!
This movie is... weird...
Who could kill a child? Turns out most of us, pretty easily in fact.

Amy Varland's resume is a colorful one. She's been a tour guide at Walt Disney World, a travel agent, a television production assistant, a golf course manager; she's a licensed bail bond agent and certified to officiate wedding ceremonies. In May, the Black Hills State University student found her true calling.
Varland, a Mass Communication major with a Spanish minor, took the advice of her college professor, Dr. Mary Caton-Rosser, and applied for a summer internship with South Dakota Public Broadcasting. Now, several months later, Varland is still with SDPB working part time from a little makeshift recording studio from the living room of her Lead home.

BHSU professors Dr. Ben VanEe and Dr. Dan Asunskis hope that will change. The two science professors worked throughout the summer developing a native plant ethnobotanical garden on campus. Native plant landscaping, including Buffalo grass, is a part of the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) for the University's new Life Sciences Laboratory which opened in February. The David B. Miller Yellow Jacket Student Union is also a LEED certified building. Both buildings are part of BHSU's commitment to sustainability.

For the last 15 year years, O'Donnell has established a reputation as one of Eastern Iowa's most trusted newscasters. She's led breaking news coverage, including the 9/11 attacks, presidential caucus and election coverage, and has traveled across the country to interview newsmakers and celebrities. Her one-on-one reports include interviews with leaders ranging from former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to Presidential hopefuls John McCain and John Kerry.
O'Donnell has won awards from the Iowa Broadcast News Association including honors for a Live Town Hall Meeting she hosted in the days following the 9/11 attacks, and Best Documentary from the Iowa Associated Press for "Life's Final Moments," following a woman's last days living with breast cancer.

After a decade in the news business, Corey has experienced every kind of weather except a hurricane. In Denver, he covered storms that produced tornadoes and softball-size hail. He often found himself out in the elements keeping viewers up-to-date on some of Colorado's monster snowstorms. One day, a storm buried Corey and his photographer in four feet of snow! That may not sound like your ideal work day, but Corey says it was one of his favorite days on the job.
He grew up in Sandy, Utah and discovered his love for broadcasting in 4th grade. Corey's school class took a field trip to the CBS station in Salt Lake City and he was immediately hooked. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. He then completed Mississippi State University's Broadcast Meteorology program with a 4.0 GPA. He has earned the Seal of Approval from both the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association.
Corey and his wife have one son and one daughter.

Jared grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and found his passion for sports at an early age, going to all types of sporting events at Arizona State University, and elsewhere around the Valley of the Sun. And while he knew early on that he had an insatiable love for sports, Jared also knew he was better at talking about sports then he was at playing them. So he embarked on a career in broadcasting.
Jared began as a sports reporter at ASU in 1998, working for KASC radio, and for Sun Devil TV's award winning sports program, "Devils on the Deuce." During college Jared also held internships with KNBC in Los Angeles, KTVK in Phoenix, and with the Arizona Diamondbacks during their World Series Championship season.
Now in Eastern Iowa, Jared can't wait to bring his love for sports, and his talent for storytelling to CBS 2. As he puts it, "Sports are about more than just scores and highlights. You have to find the story behind each game, fan, and player. That's what makes it fun."
In his spare time, Jared enjoys golf, baseball, movies, and spending time with his dog, Vashti.

During age-appropriate six-week KidzArt sessions, youngsters from pre-K to middle school use more than 60 mediums such as watercolors, clay, and clocks melted in easy-bake ovens to construct two-, three-, and four-dimensional works. IDEA Studio also hosts personalized sessions for homeschooled children, one-week summer camps, and Kidz Nights, where youngsters enjoy themed lessons while snacking on healthy foods. Adults, meanwhile, can take their own artistic journey in classes and workshops with subjects that include drawing, stained glass, and sculpture, or they can work on long-term projects during open studio hours.
Savannah Yoga Room's instructors focus on traditional Hatha and Ashtanga styles, creating classes accessible to newbies and challenging enough for yoga veterans. In addition to teaching pupils to center their thoughts with a slowly linked sequence of poses, they introduce the basic breathing techniques needed to blow out a centenarian's birthday candles during Hatha Flow Level I sessions. In Hatha Flow Level II, they quicken the pace to ensure a more dynamic practice and incorporate meditation.
After nudging up the studio's thermostat to around 85 degrees and setting off a miniature supernova to heat the space, they enlist strong Ashtanga postures during power yoga, harnessing the radiating heat to engage muscle groups across the entire body without sacrificing the style's mindful focus or four-part om-ing harmonies. They also lead specialized prenatal sessions on Wednesdays and kids' classes for tykes aged 4–10 on Tuesdays.
Each one of Anytime Fitness's more than 2,000 coed fitness clubs grant 24-hour secured access to weight and cardio equipment and sessions of group fitness. The locations in Savannah and Pooler showcase exercise machines from manufacturers such as Precor, with treadmills and ellipticals sporting monitors for watching TV. The fitness emporium's staff of certified trainers lead group fitness classes or personal training sessions customized to the results of body-composition analyses and the moisture capacities of sweatbands. The staff are always friendly, making Anytime an inviting place to train.
Although instructors Travis Clark and Jon Gillespie lead Southeast Photo Adventures's workshops and excursions, they share the teaching load with the shores of Tybee Island and the depths of Cloudland Canyon. Students shoot shoulder-to-shoulder with instructors amid these sprawls of striking Southeastern scenery, whether they're enrolled in 2.5-hour workshops, Foto Field Trips open to workshop grads, or weekend-long adventures. The field-trip-style outings are open to all skill levels, but beginners can also enhance their expertise in introductory courses on Photoshop, digital photography, and DSLR cameras' complex settings, which control everything from shutter speed to the tiny red light bulb behind each of our eyes.
