UPDATED!! Jim Carrey In KICK-ASS 2? If Universal Gets Their Way...
The Kidd here...
No offers have been made, and there's no telling if Jim Carrey even has interest in doing it, but Universal is at least making overtures to him in the hopes of nabbing him for a supporting role in the Jeff Wadlow-directed KICK-ASS 2.
According to Deadline, the role Carrey is being targeted for is the Colonel, who founds the superhero group Justice Forever, which eventually recruits the title hero (Aaron Johnson) as well as Donald Faison's Doctor Gravity and Robert Emms' Insect Man. Together, they all band together to take on Red Mist (a returning Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who changes his name along the way to the Mother Fucker.
Carrey is said to be a huge fan of Matthew Vaughn's first film, but whether or not that will carry over into some participation in the sequel remains to be seen. Universal has their fingers crossed, and it'd definitely be a different type of role for Carrey to take at this point in his career, as a hard-R superhero flick is hardly the first project that you'd associate with him. I'm hoping where there's smoke, there's some fire on this front.
UPDATE: I'm hearing now that Universal has an offer on the table to Carrey. The ball is in his court if KICK-ASS 2 is something he truly wants to do. If so, I'd expect a deal to come together rather quickly.

first one sucked
by Stifler's Mom
The ironic, ordinary-loser-as-homemade-superhero story had already been done to death, BLANKMAN, MYSTERY MEN, SUPER, etc, and KICK-ASS tried to seem so novel and original. Cage was the best part of the original, and he's dead.

Rubberface.. but.. but WHY???!!
by mcgillj
I mean.. I think everyone here should have some idea of Carrey's talent in .. an almost supernatural way of contorting his face to easily play characters completely alien to himself.. but why toture the poor bastards here into seeing that god awful POS film? and trust me.. the film itself is AWFUL.. But even in that unholy union, Carrey showed his unnatural talent.. and he has in great reserves, if anyone (including Carrey himself) can get around to unleashing it. That Carrey showed some potential we've yet to even see out of him.

Losing Vaughn was a bummer but the cast is looking pretty damn good and if this is true then I'd love to see Carrey's take on "The Colonel" who I imagined someone like Harrison Ford or Russell Crowe when I read the comic.

Kick-Ass was fun. Didn't really like McLovin, at all. But Chloe, Aaron, and The Cage were a blast. Would love to see Jim join the insanity. He'd fit right in.

the thing is the comic was so much better. her dad wasn't really a disgraced ex cop
by saintsaucey
He was just a loser who had been selling off his comic collection to fund this midlife crisis and he brought his poor daughter along for the ride. There was no unrealistic jet pack, kick ass didn't get the girl in the end. Plus Kick Ass came out before Super.

On the surface this sounds like a good opportunity for Carrey...
by Sean
But reflecting on how mostly awful Kick Asa was, i'd much rather he does something else. How can he recapture the magic of the days of Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb And Dumber and The Truman Show. Then...he was untouchable.

Jim Carrey used to be funny, right?

Kick Ass Kicked Ass
by Matthew
I loved the movie Kick Ass, very fun enjoyable time at the movies. Anyone who didn't like Kick Ass I feel bad for as they might be a miserable fuck who gets no joy out of life. Jim Carrey suffers the same fate as most leading men in comedies, after a while you have seen their act over and over again and you are no longer a teenager anymore so you don't find the same things funny any more. Jim is rich he will be fine, but he must struggle with do I still talk out of my ass or do I do more serious movies, damned if do damned if don't, Kick Ass 2 might be a mix of both serious/ comedy for Carrey
Aug. 21, 2012, 2:54 a.m. CST
This is the kinda work I wouldn't mind seeing from Carrey, Cage acted inspired in the last film.

The pedos will be out in full force if Chloe Moritz is in the next one
by wcolbert
Mark my words. She's hit puberty now, at least, but even so, not much better than some of the things I read after Kick-Ass came out when she was what, 11? Anyway, Jim Carrey is a very odd choice... then again, I've learned not to rule Jim out from more serious roles (well in this case semi-serious). He's done some pretty great dramatic stuff. It's just that being funny comes so naturally to him that it's hard to take him seriously for the first 10 minutes or so when he doesnt do a comedy -you keep expecting him to do something insane/hilarious or make a face. I still love The Truman Show :)
Aug. 21, 2012, 3:13 a.m. CST
He's a weirdo now. Probably sings on for this so he can take a run at Chloe Moretz.
by Xenodistortion
He's a total creeper now & hasn't been in anything good since the 90's. Dude fucked his career up after getting shafted for Man On The Moon. His poor choice of roles + questionable behavior via internet videos = kind of a nut bag. He's the white Eddie Murphy. Clearly talented, but completely misdirected and kind of crazy from making too much money early on.
Aug. 21, 2012, 3:18 a.m. CST
xenodistortion - if you're referring to the Emma Stone (or whatever her name is) video, that was a joke
by wcolbert
She even made a reply video and they're friends. Besides, she's well legal, even if she's 20 years younger - what guy even in his 40's wouldnt take a run at her? She's hot. Otherwise, I'm not sure what videos you're talking about.

he shouldve become much more choosy after that...he didnt and no, he will suck in this role as he will do it over the top as for moretz as hit girl being a pedo magnet...blame millar, whos entire career is based on how much can he top ennis and ellis i swear to christ, i wish i was running a con would spend all the guest money on getting ennis, ellis, morrison and millar in a room together probably would only understand the curse words...but it would be brilliant

How is 'no offer and no interest' news?
by Ruddy Heck
This story could be about anyone. I.e. 'They haven't offered it to Meryl Streep/Miley Cyrus/Larry David and they in turn have not expressed an interest in it'. I would hereby like to go on the record as saying I haven't been offered the role and that I have no strong preference either way as to whether or not I get it. Alert the press.

Kick Ass 2 comic was pretty poor...Don't think a sequel's going to give us anything new.

Kick Ass wanted to have its cake and eat it too.
by knowthyself
It wanted to be a movie about real super heroes. Then at the end you have a little girl flipping around and the hero flying around in a jet pack. I don't mind either one but pick one or the other.

Jim's last good movie was ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE etc. (2004)
by Koborover
In my opinion it's his best ever performance. Loved Kick-Ass, would be cool if he does the sequel.
Aug. 21, 2012, 8:56 a.m. CST
I find it hard to believe Jim Carrey would be cool with getting beat to death, decapitated, and having his dog's head placed on his bloody stump of a neck for the cops to find
by Dogmatic
like The Colonel ended up. His death was really frightening...especially as a comic book fan....the way they were just belittling his comic book collection and memorabilia while they beat him to death.
Aug. 21, 2012, 9 a.m. CST
I still don't know HOW they are gonna get away with half the stuff in the Kick-Ass 2 comic. Such as (SPOILERS)
by Dogmatic
MF and his gang killing a whole neighborhood's worth of kids gunning them down in the streets followed by gang raping KA's would-be girlfriend almost to death.....hanging KA's dad after beating him nearly to death complete with defecating himself....having a hero beat to death, decapitated and then beheading a German Shepard and putting it's head on the corpse to be found....which reminds me...a German Shepard eating a man's manhood while he is interrogated by the heroes....and it goes on and on....

by jawaburger
As long as some of that stuff happens off screen, like the decapitation and kid killing, they can have it "in" the movie. When it is implied, it can be just as effective. With some proper editing, all can be achieved. For example, we didn't see Anakin kill all the padawans but we know he did, and that was only PG-13. It will be easy to get all those ideas "on-screen."

If he takes it, and nails it, he could be on the path to comeback.
by kindofabigdeal
People still loved Cage's performance in the first even though he's still starring in movies titled 'Stolen'. What else do you expect from the star of Knowing and Drive Angry. Maybe Carrey will follow suit and star in Napped, where he's a man who's trying to rescue his kidnapped daughter. He's a circus clown/magician who must use his 'set or particular skills' to beat the baddies.

the final nail in the coffin. Carrey is so over he should have credits projected on his back, and the first Kick Ass was a stupid piece of cine-shit. That Chloe Moretz is getting creepier the older she gets and she was already class A with that mutant 'too close for siblings" brother of hers.

Offhand - Spoilers
by tailhook
Have them light up the schoolyard, none of the bullets hit of course. KA enters before any kids die, or even get shot, but the kids-in-danger ratchets up the tension. Rather than a gang-raping, MF rapes her solo. You get the point across without crossing any X-rated lines. Its not like raping the girlfriend hasn't been a prime protaganist motivator since oh.. Kickboxer. The stuff with the dog can be done as is while being inferred(i.e. camera angles that hide the act while you 'hear' it and see his screams), but not much is actually shown. Lets not forget the original KA had a hero being burned to death on screen. That movie allready set a pretty high standard for violence that any sequel is going to have to find a way to top or be called out as a watering down of the material yet do so in a way that doesn't completely turn everybody off. At the end of the day, you're there to entertain with a violent story, not go so over-the-top as to make people throw up.

JC sucks, Im just not a fan, ok a couple of his movies were ok, but please not KA2, he was god damn awful as the Riddler. I agree someone like Rollins or Ward as the Colonel but not the one trick pony thats Carey, he's sooo yawwwn!

wcolbert, he's 50. And it's still creepy.
by Xenodistortion
Motherfucker needs to make another Ace Ventura & leave the internet videos to someone else. If their intention is to be funny, it's not working (at least for me). He sounds like a wrong choice for this movie too. Nobody should have to follow Nic Cage in a sequel movie. The dude has fallen far.

There's no way they'll do almost anything from the comic in this, the extreme violence will be absent and so will the impact. Just not a great idea.

by jawaburger
I just watched God Bless American where an infant is thrown into the air and blasted to a pulp with a shotgun. In Rambo, one of the "bad guys" throws a baby on the end of a pitchfork. It is like you people have not been watching any movies. They can get away with showing all the the items listed as impossible to film and still get an R rating. There are also many movies with violent graphic rape that maintain an R rating like Irreversible, The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, Death Wish and many more. These are just off the top of my head. Those scenes will be in the movie.

I though KA was great but what's with idiots confusing this film with pedophilia.
by Stalkeye
Hmmm, only thing I can recall, is some whacked out pre-Teen who was technically "brianwashed" by her father (Big Daddy.) to kill criminals and the like. The relationship of Hit Girl and Big Daddy played off as an extreme parody of Batman and Robin and that was basically it. What's next, Batman facing accusations of being a Pedo? *SMMFH*

Just bought this a few days back thought not from Flipkart. Got it for 5k. You can insert 4 papers in one go and if there is a 5th you will see the machine struggle. Also, the run cycle is abt 5 mins per run. You need to then wait for another 30 mins before using it else the machine gets too hot. I heard that once some machines stop then they won't start again for another 30 mins. The bin has a very low scrap holding capacity. After abt 15 sheets you needs to clear it up before you can shred any more papers.
I didn't wanna exceed this price range and hence am OK with the level of performa... (Expand)

Ebony Matilda Blossom sounds better to me than Ebony Luna Blossom.(which also sounds pretty)
I'd like to make some first middle suggestions. Beforehand, I'd like to mention I agree 100% about Ebony not being a name option for African American girls, but for girls of all colors. I've always liked the name Ebony.
Ebony Natalia Blossom
Ebony Demaris Blossom *(dem-air-iss)
Ebony Ophelia Blossom
Ebony Matilda Blossom still sounds like one of the best though

Tony Gwynn had a magnificent major-league career, winning eight batting titles with a lifetime total of 3,141 hits. He's a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Since his playing career ended he's been the baseball coach at his alma mater, San Diego State.
Now, there's a report that Gwynn will be part of a group that is trying to purchase his former team, the San Diego Padres:
Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn is joining with movie producer Thomas Tull in an attempt to buy the San Diego Padres.
Gwynn said Monday that it's too early to say what his role will be, beyond offering advice and insight, while stressing that he's still the coach at his alma mater, San Diego State.
Gwynn met with Tull in San Diego last week and said he's spoken with him several times since.
Tull is the chairman and CEO of Legendary Entertainment, which has produced movie hits such as "The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Clash of the Titans" and "300."
A possible deal to sell the Padres to former sports agent Jeff Moorad fell through earlier this year when MLB owners wouldn't approve Moorad as principal owner. That sale would have been worth about $500 million; the Padres have since worked out a new TV deal with Fox that could increase the amount a group would have to pay for the team.

Designer Robert Randolph died March 3 died in Palm Springs, CA, his home. He was 77.
A set, lighting, and costume designer, Randolph's substantial Broadway career lasted from 1954 to the early 1980s. During that time, he designed some of the New York theatre's biggest hits. Born in Centerville, IA, in he earned BFA and MFA degrees from the University of Iowa. He made his Broadway debut in 1954, with set and costume designs for Gian Carlo Menotti's opera The Saint of Bleecker Street. However, he continued to assist other designers, including Raoul Pene du Bois and Cecil Beaton. His breakthrough success came in 1960, with his work on the musical Bye Bye Birdie; his design for one of the show's numbers "The Telephone Hour," a construction of cubes, was one of the more famous sets of the period. Among Randolph's Broadway hits were How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1961); Little Me (1962); Any Wednesday (1964); Funny Girl (1964); Sweet Charity (1966); Golden Rainbow (1968); Applause (1970); the Angela Lansbury revival of Gypsy (1974); The Norman Conquests (1975) and the Jack O'Brien-staged revival of Porgy and Bess (1976).
According to Variety, in the 1964-65 season, Randolph has 11 shows running on Broadway. He is equally revered by theatre fans—especially musical aficionados—for his work on some of the era's most beloved flops, including Bravo Giovanni (1962); the Bert Lahr vehicle Foxy (1964); Julie Harris' only musical, Skyscraper (1965); It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman (1966), Sherry! (1967); Henry, Sweet Henry (1967); and 70, Girls, 70 (1971). His career moved westward in the 70s, as he began designing for the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera and the San Francisco Light Opera. His final Broadway credit was the 1986 revival of Sweet Charity, starring Debbie Allen.
Randolph also worked extensively in television. His credits include the series That's Life! (1968), an attempt at presenting a new musical comedy each week, and such specials as Liza with a Z and Night of 100 Stars. He also designed all Tony Awards broadcasts from 1967-84; an eight-time nominee, he never won a Tony Award.
Randolph is survived by his partner, Chuck Guthrie.

They are crafted to be approachable in style and price for the casual enthusiast yet meet the demanding standards of the most experienced palate. This could not be more evident than the fact that for many years, Round Hill has been one of the top 100 wines in restaurants around the country.
Round Hill is a brand owned by Rutherford Wine Company. Rutherford Wine Company is family-owned and managed with a portfolio of wines representing the rich diversity of California's outstanding appellations. Today, the portfolio includes Rutherford Ranch Winery, Round Hill, Scott Family Estate, Lander-Jenkins Vineyards, Predator, Rhiannon and Silver Buckle.
The company is based at Rutherford Ranch Winery, in Napa Valley's Rutherford District, one of the region's most renowned sub-appellations. The winery and estate vineyards are certifiably sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. The critically acclaimed wines have been characterized as one of Napa's great values by noted wine writer Robert Parker. No small fete here as Parker tastes literally thousands of wine a year and his publication is considered the most influential wine newsletter in the world.

Judging from the office piled high with books of fantasy, science fiction and comics, Chris Couch, a popular lecturer in the Comparative Literature department is the obvious choice to teach such classes as Introduction to Science Fiction and Comic Art in North America. Here, he discusses his new book, "Jerry Robinson: Ambassador of Comics" and the surprising insights he has gained about comics and their origins.
Where did you grow up and what brought you to western Massachusetts?
St. Louis. I came here (to western Massachusetts) to teach at one of the five colleges and after I'd been teaching for a few years, Kitchen Sink Press moved here. I haven't learned much in life but one thing I have learned is that if someone asks you to become a comic book editor, the only answer to that question that is correct is yes. In comics, everybody knows everybody. Denis Kitchen's company moved here so I went to see Denis and said, "I'd love to do some freelance work for you." and he said, "Would you like to be an editor?" So I became a senior editor at Kitchen Sink Press; I was there for 5 years, 1994 to 1999 until the company went bankrupt because of the horrible condition of the comics industry at that time, for various reasons. It was my pleasure and honor to work with Will Eisner for 5 years at the company and then for another 5 years on a number of freelance projects including his final graphic novel, The Plot. I worked with Mark Schultz who did Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Prince Valiant. I was the editor for the Crow comic books and got to work with James O'Barr and many other wonderful people to learn about the comics industry. I'd always cared deeply about comics and had taught myself about them and planned to teach them as a scholar someday so when I got a chance to work within the industry, I said yes.
You earned a Ph.D. in Art History. What led you to Comparative Literature?
I had always intended to teach comics in some context. I met the chair of Comparative Literature, Bill Moebius at an event, a meeting in Northampton. He said, "I'm the chair of Comp. Lit, I've been looking for someone to teach comics because I teach children's literature." And I said, "Well, I would love to teach comics; I'll be happy to give you a syllabus." See, I'm in an unusual position because most people who teach comics are in English. I like teaching through a comp lit lens because comics are international; they must be taught comparatively. Actually, I'm a Latin Americanist. I learned a lot about Mexican comics when I was doing my dissertation research on Aztec manuscripts. In fact, a lot of my friends in Mexico are comic artists and editors. So for me, comp lit was a natural fit. I can study words and images here in a cross-cultural, international context.
You recently came out with a book about Jerry Robinson. How was that process?
Jerry created the Joker but people don't really know his name. He's worked in comic for 20 years and the way I like to introduce what I'm writing about in that book is "I'm doing a book about Jerry Robinson, he was an editorial cartoonist for the New York Daily News for thirty years. He founded the first international cartoon syndicate, ever, to circulate cartoons from all over the world to all over the world." No one had ever done that before. He negotiated a settlement with Warner Brothers studios for Jerry Segal and Joe Schuster who created Superman, (originally, they had) sold all the rights for $130. When the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeve was coming out and they paid Mario Puzo three million dollars to write a script, Jerry and Joe had nothing. Jerry Segal was a $9,000 a year clerk who couldn't even afford a car. Joe Schuster was unemployed and living in his brother's apartment in Brooklyn. Jerry negotiated a settlement with Warner Bros. to give them pensions, health insurance, and most importantly of all, their names back on the property. Whenever you see "Superman created by Jerry Segal and Joe Schuster" on a Superman movie, a book about Superman, a Superman comic book or if you have the misfortune to watch Smallville, that's Jerry Robinson's work. So he did all those things and he created the Joker. Of course, he'll always be known only for creating the Joker but he contributed so much to comics. I didn't come up with the title of the book, "Jerry Robinson: Ambassador of Comics," but I was so thrilled when the publisher said, "Look, we've got a title." It's absolutely the perfect title. He really combined comics and international understanding and artists' rights and created the Joker.
The other great thing about working with Jerry is that I was able to bring an art historian's eye to his work, so that there's a new understanding of his editorial cartoons which are incredibly aesthetically sophisticated. People have talked in a general way about how German expressionist film played some role in the creation of Batman. Well, Jerry and Bill Finger (Bill Finger was a co-creator of Batman, along with Bob Kane) went to a ton of German expressionist films and they injected German expressionist film's ideas and psychological tropes directly into Batman. That's why Batman has all those great villains. While working on a talk on expressionists in comics, I realized that it's not just the kind of surface expressionism that they brought, it's not just the twisted psychology but the understanding of Freudian psychological processes that is part of German Expressionist films that Bill Finger and Jerry brought to the villains in Batman; that's what makes them so resonant. That was one of the great things about working on that book and thinking about it since then. There's a really deep literate and psychologically insightful transference of German expressionism to comics in Batman because of Jerry and Bill Finger and I was able to talk about that in a very specific way in this book. I was also able discuss the role of the great illustrator, N.C. Wyeth and his work in the creation of Robin. It was a journey of revelation and I'm happy to continue to share those insights with my classes and everyone else.
What's the most surprising thing you've learned in your research about graphic novels and their authors?
What's a graphic novel to you? What's the paradigm of a graphic novel? It's a book that's the size and shape of a novel. And what color is it? Black and white. We've come to know that there's something called a graphic novel that appears in a book store. It's the size and shape of a novel, it's a work of some length, it has some literary qualities, it's often autobiographical. That's not a graphic novel because there is no platonic ideal of a graphic novel. That's the American graphic novel. And that's something that was conceived by Will Eisner. There's a lot of debate in comics about A Contract with God being the first graphic novel but it's not about that, it's about finding a way to put comics in a bookstore so that adults will read them and so that they will have literary credibility. And the way that American comic books have found a way to do that is to put a black and white work the length and complexity of a novel and the physical size of a novel, not the size of a comic book because comic books cause juvenile delinquency. That's what people thought in the 1950s. Comics in the 1950s were branded as a children's medium, something that no adult would read, something that corrupted children. And the only way the American comic artist had to find their way back from and beyond that was to create something that people would recognize as a literary work with a capital L. Mainly Will Eisner and some other people came to the conclusion, especially Will, that the way to do that was through the form of the book, the graphic novel. That's the thing that gets reviewed in the NY Times. Maybe it has one color but it's rectangular, it's the size of a novel. It's Persepolis, it's Fun Home. It's American Born Chinese. That's it, that's the American graphic novel. It's not the European album, it's not the Japanese tonkobon, it's the American graphic novel. It's a bid by comics for literary respectability. It is the American graphic novel as conceived by Will Eisner. It was carried out by Art Spiegelman, it was carried out by Howard Cruse, it was carried out by a lot of people but that's the American graphic novel. I've come to learn is that the American graphic novel is an intentional object. The other thing I've learned is that comics are an American medium. And I've known that for years but the first time it was really brought home to me in a way that made me angry was when Ken Burns was interviewed about jazz and at the end, Ken Burns says, "Jazz is the only American medium." Well, comics are an American medium, not sequential art, not words and pictures but comics as the world understands them is an American medium. The comic strip was invented in New York in the 1890s. And part of the way you have to understand this is to understand things that you already know. So what's a comic strip? Where you do you find a comic strip? In the newspaper. There were no comic strips in newspapers until the 1890s in New York. They were invented here. What are the other characteristics of this comic strip that you can find in the newspaper? Color in the Sunday funnies. Didn't exist till the 1890s. Continuing characters. Who reads the Sunday funnies? Everyone. All ages, adults and children. That's a comic strip. That was invented in the United States, in New York, in the 1890s, between 1895 and 1900. It didn't exist before, there were no comic strips before that, it is an American medium. Born in the newspaper wars of the city, born in the technological revolution of steam-powered, colored presses. Born in the same streets that gave us vaudeville and dime museums and nickelodeons and the comic strip is an American medium that spread around the world. Comic books are an American medium, they were invented in New York in the 1930s. They didn't exist before. Comic books and all that comic books are is an American medium, created in New York. Superheroes were invented here. They didn't exist before that. They're a product of the Depression, they're a product of the idealism that fought its way out of the Depression, embodied in Superman. They're a product of the multiethnicity of the United States because Jewish creators contributed so much to the creation of the comic book. The golem is Superman, Superman is the golem, the protector of the community. They are enriched by the American creation of genre fiction. Modern science fiction as we understand it, also created in America, in the pulp magazines, fed directly into the comic books. Many of the same people worked on them. Comics are an American medium and the literary graphic novel that we just discussed, that's the American graphic novel. Comics are American with an intimate relationship with our neighboring countries, with Canada which has contributed importantly to American comics and graphic novels and especially with Mexico. So that's the most surprising thing I've learned.
Without the comic strip, there wouldn't be all those other comics. There were lots of comics before that and a lot of things that looked like strips before that but the energy and the innovation and the popular appeal and the cross media potential of the American comic strip is what made comics part of human culture. The American comic strip forged in New York in the 1890s made comics an important part of culture. Without that, it wouldn't matter. Comic books, forged in New York in the 1930s made superheroes and all the other things that come along with the comic book medium part of human culture throughout the world. It's like jazz. It's a contribution that American gave to the world and it's part of our multiethnic heritage.

How does soap know what's dirt? How do magnets work? Why do ice cubes crackle in your glass? And how can you keep them quiet?
These are questions that torment us all. Now Robert L. Wolke, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh, provides definitive - and amazingly simple - explanations for the mysteries of everyday life. Shattering myths (such as the common belief that salt melts the ice in your driveway)... providing insider secrets (like what lights up a neon sign)... and daring you to perform your own experiments (find out what happens when you use a sharp knife to scratch the inside of a beer glass filled with brew!), Dr. Wolke provides astounding facts, can't-lose bar bets, and sometimes shocking truths.
Why is the sky blue? A candle flame yellow? Or bleached clothes white? Don't stay in the dark. When it comes to unraveling the mysteries of modern living, maybe Einstein didn't know. But you can - even if you've never lit a Bunsen burner - with this fascinating, eye-opening book about our astonishing world.

"Entertaining... a fun read." (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
""Little Bit Of Everything" Science"
This book is just a group of random science based questions about regular everyday phenomena. In all honesty you might never have thought about some of the "whys" that are answered in this book but once they are answered you find yourself nodding your head in agreement.
Robert Wolke simply seems to just think of random science questions related to everyday occurrences and answers them. I like Science... In fact I studied Chemistry at the University level so I very much liked this whole book. I was actually quite impressed at how he was able to make rather complex concepts sound quite easy. If I were doing High School level Science I believe this actually have been a good overview of everything science to make Science seem more relatable to everyday life and less abstract.
One thing I have to take away from this book is the lack of structure. Yes there was some semblance of what I just mentioned but it was generally broken up to inject some sense of humor or some added info. It was fun at times and did break up the monotony of what could easily have been a drawling book of random facts; however it also broke the flow at times. You will either love this about the book... hate this about the book or find it just plain annoying.
The narrator dry humor actually added to the listening value of the book and made it rather enjoyable to listen to. I might be a bit biased because I am a big fan of Sean Runnette from the Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout books.
All in all, this was a nice book to listen to.
"A funny thing happened on the way to a great book"
What Einstein Didn't Know is a book filled with the wonders of science in an easily digestible meal of molecule sized bites. Robert Wolke knows how to explain the mysteries of every day life by demystifying the science behind it.
But this would have been a better book without the constant injections of humour. Most of these attempts, I thought, fell flat and distracted from the real value of the prose. In addition, the author seemed to have issues with a list of professions which were the butt of many of his quips; lawyers, marketers, government and other easy targets. Sean Runnette, an excellent narrator, also seemed to struggle with this mix of "science explained" and "stand up comedy".
As I write this review I remember many of the excellent explanations of atoms, molecules and ions and a few of the analogies to explain them, but none of the jokes.
Easily explains everyday situations, and put them in layman's language. Narrator was very good and entertaining.
"Good physical-chemistry review everyday phenomena"
explanations for laypersons
Explanation why champagne bubbles
Chemistry and cooking
Physical-chemistry something interesting
The title of the book is what is unexplainable. It is only for capturing readers that surprise because Einstein does not appear any more in the text.
"Explainations for scientists and others"
I listened to this and the sequel "What Einstein told his cook" and was fascinated with both. With a background in science and engineering, I learned a few fun facts reading the book. I would recommend this to anyone, regardless of their level of scientific knowledge. The book is well written and narrated, except for a few bad puns and jokes (which I really did enjoy with a small smile ;-).
Interesting book. somewhat repetitive in its contents. the title is unfortunate. this book is more about the wonders of chemistry than anything else.
"Dry performance, Interesting info."
Barrage of facts. Easy to understand but dryly performed.
This book is good for the information it contains. Not the kind of trivia book that can be picked up at any point and just as easily understood though. It starts with some basic scientific principles and builds on many of them throughout the book. It is well written but not delivered as entertainingly as it could have been. The narration is adequate but not terribly enthusiastic. Tho same meter, pitch, and tone tends to blend together after awhile.
"Good idea, poor execution"
I really tried to like this one because it was such an interesting idea and a good way to get people interested in finding out more. Honestly though, try as I might I couldn't even get half way before the narration started getting too irritating and the tone of writing began seeming too much like my old chemistry teachers. Couldn't stand them then and this reminds me of why

You take care Mike. Always liked reading!!!!June 20, 2012 at 8:52 a.m.
The more I think about this, the less I like the idea. I dislike this for different reasons. This is about social and political power more than transparency.
Mr. J. WilliamsJune 20, 2012 at 12:01 a.m.
Ok, lets get back to business. I am prophesizing an October surprise. A catacalysmic debt ceiling standoff. What do you guys think? We only got a couple of weeks. Let me have it.June 18, 2012 at 11:02 p.m.
Thanks VBB,I'm glad you didn't take the political disagreements personally because I certainly didn't.....as Sugar stated we are together in this "kumbaya" moment and it can be a fresh start...I look forward to hearing from you agai.
Thanks againJune 18, 2012 at 10:15 p.m.
I didn't mean to imply that you were being sneaky....I just suspected you were one & the same & you had your reasons to change names...Suzy never reappeared once Born was "born"...haha. I'm glad the troll forced the change because I really grew to like you even though we may disagree. : )June 18, 2012 at 9:46 p.m.
The funny thing is, now that the storm is blowing away from us (me) and the sun has come out again (when you learn to let go of something, it's amazing how cleansing an experience it can be), I realize that, although many of us have had our differences, and we will always have different points of view, we have so much more in common than we have different. Does that make sense?
I feel like this is a positive step for us posters/bloggers to "start over" and it has happened at the right time. Just my opinion. I will likely be posting just a few more days here myself, with one final blog in the works, and then that's it. I realize just how much we have learned from one another and how much bonding can occur when we face a common enemy. Isn't that something?
Born2beme, Suzy, Littlebluebook, JackieBrown, so many others that I forget some names now....posters come and go, but what a wonderful experience it has been, at least for me. Thank you, one and all.June 18, 2012 at 9:43 p.m.
I wasn't trying to be sneaky or underhanded. I sent Chris a message and asked him to delete Suzy and I would start over, minus the troll attached at the hip to me. But, I did decide to be less confrontational in my new persona. That kind of thing can get you in trouble. LOLJune 18, 2012 at 9:18 p.m.
Mike, your depature is a huge loss for the VA. Even though I don't agree with you politically, I do acknowledge & respect that your blogs are well written & researched & are a big attraction to the majority of commentors on this site. Since I know where to find your personal blog, which I enjoy greatly btw, I will see you again on the other side. I have been absent on this site as of late basically out of lack of interest, the song "everyday is exactly the same" comes to mind, so my weaning has come early. It will lead me to y'alls personal blogs on a more regular basis so I can keep up with y'all.
Born.....I knew it!!!! You were Suzy!!!! I will miss you as well, we more often than not disagreed on things, but I like to think they were little things, we actually agreed on the more important things & that always made my day! : )June 18, 2012 at 8:59 p.m.
Edith Ann - My way of thinking is that the VicAd DID have all the details finalized, but due to the onslaught of public animosity towards this move, they are now backpedaling and trying like mad to salvage any readers they may have left. They are just trying to save face, and are making up the rules as they go now. Which is pragmatic, and I can appreciate that to a certain extent. But once you've seen the emperor without his clothes (and not a pretty sight, mind you) then you never view him in quite the same way again. Agendas may be refined, but never really change if they are self-serving.
It's just too late, at least for me. I am most definitely calling it quits. It is hard to let go, to be truthful, but it would be harder to stay here now. It's time.
Mike, I don't know what to say in response to your kindness. Except, thank you. And, if I or any of the "original bloggers" helped inspire you to blog also, then I am most proud. Glad to have you here, or on Google, or anywhere in cyberspace.June 18, 2012 at 8:47 p.m.
I have come to the conclusion that all the details are not yet worked out on how this is going to be handled. I am leaning strongly to calling it quits again. As folks leave and the conversion is made, I believe I'll make my exit also.June 18, 2012 at 3:31 p.m.
That will sadden some and gladden others. So be it.
I've had the urge to open a Facebook account for a couple years and even bought a book at Hastings so I could learn how it would benefit me. I then asked a couple posters about their experiences and if they thought I could gain any benefit and they said since I had a Twitter account and my own blog, it wouldn't benefit me at all unless I wanted to extend the discussion with other like minded individuals who I might" friend" and then turn around and "unfriend" them the next day... That has nothing to do with the new format and I'd Trust the VA with my private information but it's the unknowing that makes me reluctant. Has anybody ever thought of what they would do if a poster blared out" I know you; blah blah blah." .. Don't say it can't happen and I've seen where a poster was called a child molester, true, it was immediately deleted but how many saw that? Years past, we had a couple posters going back and forth, threatening each other, and both saying that they had concealed handgun permits. A couple of posters told them to stop their insanity but of course they were ignored and a moderator was nowhere to be found. This went on for hours into the wee morning and one poster posted his opponent's home address and telephone number for all to see. It must've stayed up for an hour before a moderator showed up and deleted both accounts. One of the culprits was using an assumed name at the time. When he was reinstated, he started insisting that everyone should use their real name because that was the condition he had to approve of before being reinstated. He kept getting banned and coming back under different aliases. Unfortunately the trolls spoil it for the majority because it's all them; making the VA take the steps that they did..IMO
It's true that the idea of us using real names would make the examples I submitted less likely BUT the real name gives a poster who doesn't care one iota about a congenial environment, the ammunition (real name) to destroy his opponent. That poster doesn't care if he is banned; that's a small price to pay and besides they are not above of submitting a fake profile, time after time.June 18, 2012 at 2:32 p.m.
I agree that the move to Facebook will not be user friendly. I am on FB at my kids and grandkids request but only go on to read what the kids are up to. One thing I have noticed is folks share way too much information to the world and once it is out there everyone owns it and can do what ever they want with it and it has your name in bright lights. I advise extreme caution with the system and I am undecided at this time. Many folks know who "Vet43" is and I have no problem standing behind what I believe. Saddly others look at the web as a weapon to abuse instead of a tool teach. After one visit to "Craigalist" and the Rant and Rave section I have serious missgivings regarding openness on the net.June 18, 2012 at 12:34 p.m.
EA, Pat & VA
I'm still having trouble with the wording and specifics.
I understand a business decision of going to a new format for whatever reason and like every other decision; I can take it or leave it.
I never received the initial e-mail everyone was supposed to have received but I didn't need one since the contents were published online. I've seen one version where non Facebookers were going to be treated as stepchildren and their comments and blogs would be posted in some obscure location. Another said that things won't change much for the non Facebookers except that they will not be featured.... I have asked other posters about their definition of the word "featured" meant...
I look that the sports blog that was given as an example and I'm thinking that my blogs and comments and would be on a different tab and as we do now for "popular" comments or in "your views and our views." I have trouble getting a mental picture of what the new system would look like.
Perhaps I was too hasty in my departure or am I looking at the inevitable of a total Facebook format when the software, technology or anything else that is preventing that from happening today?
I don't blame the Victoria Advocate for wanting to have a more civil environment than the larger newspapers and that's what makes it unique...IMO. It may be a monetary decision I don't know.. I bookmarked the Advocate forum because the comments and blogs came from fella Victorians and surrounding cities.... Every blog that I visit has a comment section and a "free for all" environment where people can post the vilest things (and they do) and if you read one, you've read them all. I know that Jerry Springer formats appeal to some that think that we are all adults and should be able to handle that. That's a legitimate point of view but I have choices as they do.
Let's let the smoke clear.June 18, 2012 at 11:46 a.m.
I have mentioned you often in my other blog, as someone who I always looked forward to discussing issues with. I agree that we often looked at a lot of issue differently but because we came from similar backgrounds (retired, blue collared etc) allowed both of us to understand where the other person was coming from on any given issue.
I have a Twitter account, smart phone, and a couple of other social media sources but I have a gut feeling that I don't want anything to do with FaceBook even though everyone in my family an extended family, friends and neighbors have one. Victoria is my hometown and I'm still upset of how much information people can get from Victoria County CAD about property owners. I understand that younger people and don't have the qualms about sharing their personal information as the older generation does.
Many thanks for reading my blogs and putting up with me when another poster had put me in a sour mood
Yes indeed, Best of wishes to you and your family.June 18, 2012 at 11:35 a.m.
Naturally my memory is not as good as it once was but I do remember that you were already a member when I first joined and a respected and very knowledgeable one, who supported her statements with links; I might add. I knew if I ever was going to disagree with what you posted; I had better do my homework or get shown up in a public form...:-)
Yes I will always remember that memorable day when we took on the forum and the editor at the time because he was very active in our discussion that day.... Maybe that's how Custer must've them felt..:-)
Thanks again for proving having a difference of opinion on one subject does not mean we can't have an open mind on in other subjects.
Oh, we will keep in touch one way or the other because I always read your letters- to -the editor, your blogs, and your posts in I will always remember your kindness.
Sugar Magnolia
If memory serves, you were a member of a select group who got to post blogs and they were my first exposure to the newfangled social media. I was awed and never thought that I would follow in your footsteps. You were an inspiration because you and a few other bloggers knew and still do; know how to tell a story.
You're absolutely right; this is not the end because writing blogs is habit forming..:-)
Thank you for the kind words and I will never forget the impact you had when you were a regular participant. I used to say that you must've had an encyclopedia imbedded in your brain when you were born. Your instance responses were amazing whether there were, chapter and verse or a historical depiction of whatever the topic that we were discussing.June 18, 2012 at 10:39 a.m.
Thanks for the kind words...You were already a member when I joined the discussions and I recall that I didn't know how to format my posts, so they appeared jumbled. You were kind enough to tell me to format my post in a word processor before posting.
It was relatively easy to be kind to someone like you because you just posted your opinion and people could take it or leave it .... You were never pushy and never insisted that you had the only answer.
StillthewaywardwindJune 18, 2012 at 9:53 a.m.
I agree we had some of the most passionate debates in our forum and I want to thank you for being kinder to me than I was to you. Your armadillo hide was obviously tougher than mine... Yes, we did agree on some issues such as DOMA being unconstitutional. We both were civil libertarians but you were a tad more passionate....:-).. I know you are looking forward to your retirement, so let me extend well wishes while I can...remember our wives aren't used to us being around 24/7...lol... I like to think we were both ornery bulls on the open range but when the thunder and lightning came, we both scurried to seek the same shelter.
Jeeez, stop begging. I thought this was going to be a good thing. If they want to leave let em leave. I agree with whoever said it... Once the dust settles, we'll see who remains.
You mght have more folks than before, once everyone figures out how harmless all this is.June 18, 2012 at 9:31 a.m.
You've given the instructions (however confusing) let the chips fall where they may.
Please stop the begging... Or at least take it offline!
MikeJune 18, 2012 at 8:24 a.m.
I will miss you and your blog in the Victoria Advocate. Even though I did not respond frequently, I looked forward to reading a blog from someone who thought differently than myself but was sincere and honest in his belief. It has helped me understand what the other side is about.
I would not join FaceBook either and believe their is a future danger to those who risk putting their personal information in the hands of people who have to make money to satisfy investors. The biggest asset FaceBook has is the personal information of its Members.
Best of wishes to you and your family.
It will be interesting to see who remains and who shows up new after all of the dust settles.June 18, 2012 at 8:09 a.m.
I still have no idea of how to comment or blog after the new rules go into effect..whenever that is. But I didn't do much before.
Patrick Barnes
Chris Cobler, Jessica Puente--
Why don't you guys start all over with the explanation of the new rules regarding blogging and posting on blogs.
There are bits and pieces scattered all over the place and from the comments, it is clear that many are still confused.
Maybe start with "If you DON'T have a Facebook account, you will not be able to..."
I don't really understand why it has been so difficult for you all to explain this.
The score as it stands now is--
You don't have to have a FB account to blog.
You have to have a FB account to comment on a blog. It will show your FB name.
No one has mentioned posting comment on stories, not blogs. Any changes there?
That's what I have gathered from the Advocate posted blogs and comments.June 18, 2012 at 7:24 a.m.
A sad day indeed for those that don't follow you elsewhere on the interwebs.
On to bigger and brighter things, Mike! Thanks for being such a consistent and reliable blogger here. You will be missed.June 17, 2012 at 10:20 p.m.
Mike - you said it so well that I can only echo your words here. You have been a fixture, and it is the VicAd's loss certainly.
MaryAnn - Joe Patrick Bean - now there was a good man!
Mike, I will see you over on our Google blogs. This is not the end; it is only the beginning of better things to come for you. I will be following right behind; my farewell blog will be posted soon.
Let the exodus begin.June 17, 2012 at 6:25 p.m.
Hello Mike,
You've been a fixture here at the VicAd for so long, I bet you've got moss on your back! Lol
I always enjoyed what we have in common, Mike. Also, we don't agree on all things, but I could count on a civil discussion with you 100% of the time. Never will forget our encounter years ago with Joe Bean on the forum- God rest his soul.
Thanks for being a reliable anchor of reason on this spot. I saw you take lots of heat from some less-than-well meaning posters, and your knowledge and patience would prove you were a class act.
Thanks for the advice throughout the years. God bless you, my friend, and I do hope to "see" you again somewhere, sometime.
Mary AnnJune 17, 2012 at 2:45 p.m.
Mike...Even when I didn't agree with you, I was always impressed with your passion and the amount of research you did to support your position. Heck, I can even remember a few times when we DID agree. Felt kinda strange, but it was satisfying nonetheless. Enjoy your family, Mike. We part with my best wishes going out to you. I appreciate the Advocate for having this forum available to provide an arena for those discussions.June 17, 2012 at 1:15 p.m.
"Like"June 17, 2012 at 12:48 p.m.
Mike, you have been probably the one reason that I stuck around so long. I've always enjoyed your perspective on things and when Suzy started getting stalked and decided to leave, she just couldn't stay away. Thanks for all of your kindness and thanks for your dedication to "the cause".June 17, 2012 at 12:13 p.m.
I can't say I'm not going to miss the way things are now. But, I know all good things usually come to an end, sooner or later.

Hollywood at Home: 1950 to 1965
"Hollywood at Home provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at the crossroads between the last real glamour years and the TV decade. It is a remarkable portrait of mid-century America."
So reads the back cover of Hollywood at Home: A Family Album (1950 – 1965), a slight yet strong volume from Sid Avery's lens and Richard Schickel's pen.
And it's quite true.
As film historian and cinema omnivore Richard Schickel writes in the introduction:
"In Sid Avery's portraits of Hollywood in the 1950s, its citizens mime normalcy. They diaper a baby, fry an egg, play charades, wash their cars. Beloved screen veterans… the serenity and seemliness with which all of them face the camera in this, the entertainment industry's most chaotic moment since the advent of sound, strikes the social historian– not to mention the movie critic– with a strange and occasionally poignant force.
Some variant on this question keeps recurring as one turns these pages: Why are these people smiling?"
And then: "Like these favored show folk, the rest of us ordinary citizens of the American 1950s were busy miming normalcy too. It was expected of us. A depression had been survived, a war had been fought, and now everything was supposed to be all right. … Get married. Have 2.3 children. Buy a house in the suburbs. Go to church. Send the kids to college. Die quietly. … But there was something abnormal about fifties normalcy. …
"As with all fictions, one was free not to by it. But the mass media did buy it and sell it. And we, the great audience, bought it from the movies and the magazines and the broadcasters. We also did our best to resell it, to our sometimes dubious selves, and then to each other.
The pictures in this book were made as part of that process. They represented Hollywood as it wanted to see itself and to be seen by outsiders: securely functioning and apparently contducting business as usual."
Far be it from me to expound upon Schickel's words, so I leave you with them… and Avery's sumptuously subliminal shots.

Firefighters warn proposed cuts will put "lives at risk"
11:05am Saturday 8th February 2014 in News By Henry Holloway, Reporter
Firefighters are warning that cutting 80 jobs across East Sussex will put "lives at risk".
The East Sussex Fire Brigades Union (ESFBU) is against plans by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service to reduce the number of workers and fire engines.
Simon Herbert, chairman of ESFBU, said: "It is a shame that it would appear that chief fire officers and their highly-paid managers are content to cut fire cover and put public lives at risk due to budget reduction rather than stand up to Westminster officials and state they cannot run their fire and rescue services safely with such budget reductions.
"As a result of this we are seeing the fire service cut to shreds up and down the country."
The cuts are being proposed as part of £7.1 million of savings over five years.
The proposals in East Sussex include the removal of a fire engine from either Preston Circus or Hove fire station, the introduction of 'day crewed plus' stations at Battle and Roedean fire stations and the removal of a fire engine from The Ridge station in Hastings.
It is standard operating procedure for the fire service to attend a high-rise fire with four pumping vehicles and a ladder engine.
Should the cuts go through, Brighton would only have four pumps.
Mr Herbert added: "Even with a reduced number of callouts you still need the same number of firefighters to attend each call and to deal with the incident.
"Should the proposed cuts go through a fire at a high-rise building would end up being attended by every fire appliance in the city."
The service currently has the equivalent of 860 full time employees and 24 fire stations.
Mark Brown, the East Sussex union secretary, said "Attendance times have already risen over the last few years and these proposals will further increase the time that members of the public will have to wait should they need rescuing from fire or being cut free from a road traffic collision."
The service is due to meet on February 14 to set its budget.
Between 2002/03 and 2012/13 the number of callouts attended by ESFR fell by 37%, believed to be due to preventative projects.
A spokesman for ESFR said: "If fully implemented these proposals would mean a potential reduction in posts of between 50 and 80 over a five year period.
"There would be redeployment opportunities and natural wastage which we hope would reduce any need for redundancies."
Des Prichard, chief fire officer and chief executive of the East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, said the service will be able to maintain its standards despite the cuts.
He said the service will try to make the cuts with as few redundancies as possible.

to support these cuts would be pushing us more towards a antiquated fire service that simply wont work.

in ten years due to preventative projects""
Every time I see the floods on the news there are dozens of firemen and their equipment there being used.
I wonder how the government are going to prevent flooding ,
Only a government surrounded by their own police / doctors/ emergency services , would consider cutting essential services for others.
Maybe they should have to join the queue like everyone else has to.
Then if their lives were "at risk " common sense might kick in.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky Norse (7-31,2-12 A-Sun) downed the JU Dolphins (14-24, 7-7 A- Sun) at the Bill Aker Sports Complex on the campus of Northern Kentucky University.
The Dolphins scored first in the top half of the fifth inning. Drew Luther (Fullerton, Calif./Fullerton College) led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Nathan Koslowski (Jacksonville, Fla./Episcopal). Garrett Ruckel (Jacksonville, Fla./Stanton College Prep) then followed with single to put the Dolphins up 1-0.
The Norse rallied for four runs on four hits and one Dolphin error in the bottom half of the seventh off Dolphin starting pitcher Alex McRae (West Allis, Wis./New Berlin Eisenhower) to take a 4-1 lead.
The Dolphins attempted a comeback in the eighth. Ethan Loosen (Uniondale, N.Y./FSCJ) led off with a double. Dylan Dillard (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola) then delivered his fourth homer of the season to cut the lead to 4-3.
The Dolphins could get know closer. McRae (3-4) was credited with loss after going 6 1/3 innings allowing three earned runs while striking out one.
Zachary Houck (Orange Park, Fla./Eagles View Academy) added a pair of singles for the Dolphins. Luther and Dillard both finished the day with a pair of hits.
The Dolphins and Norse will be back in action on Sunday at noon. You can follow all the action on www.judolphins.com.

Romsey MP Caroline Nokes and husband divorce
9:04am Thursday 15th November 2012 in News
HAMPSHIRE MP Caroline Nokes has confirmed she has divorced from her husband, calling it a "personal tragedy".
The Romsey and Southampton North MP issued a statement yesterday confirming that she and husband Marc had now divorced.
She wrote that: "The divorce was not related to newspaper coverage of inaccurate allegations made in June 2010, which in turn led to successful legal action against a national newspaper.
"My decision to divorce my husband was for entirely unrelated reasons, but was a mutual decision taken after much reflection and discussion with our daughter and families. Marc and I remain on extremely good terms, and continue to put the interests of our daughter first, and we look forward to the future as friends.
"My decision to divorce is obviously one which will sadden many, and is a personal tragedy. However, it has no impact on my role as a Member of Parliament."
She added: "I merely wish to get on with my job as a Member of Parliament, and be a mother to my child. This remains a private matter."

JU begins busy week with trip to Savannah State
Related Links
Improvement has been a big word around the Jacksonville University men's basketball program this week.
The Dolphins (0-1) look to improve in several areas as they travel to face Savannah State (0-2) on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on 1010XL, with Terry Norvelle calling the action starting with Bono's Barbecure Pregame Show at 6:45 p.m.
Jacksonville opened the season with a 79-67 loss at Florida State on Friday, playing the Seminoles dead even over the final 32 minutes after falling behind 14-3 in the opening minutes.
"Since the beginning of the preseason, we've talked about improving each day," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "Now that we have a game in the books, we can show our young men their correctable mistakes on film."
One of the bright spots from the opener was the big night from sophomore guard Keith McDougald. The Jacksonville native scored a game-high 21 points, going 8-of-19 from the floor with three 3-pointers.
McDougald got some inside help as well. Delwan Graham scored 16 points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds to go along with four assists.
While the starting five played well, depth is something the Dolphins will continue to develop as the season progresses. JU got just six points from its bench and five of that came from Admir Sahbegovic, playing in his first game as a Dolphin.
JU vs. SAVANNAH STATE
This is the 17th meeting between the two teams, with Jacksonville holding a 15-1 lead in the all-time series. The Dolphins have won five in a row in the series, including two in a row at SSU.
The Tigers enter the contest with an 0-2 mark after dropping a 62-57 decision at North Florida on Monday night. Rashad Hassan had a game-high 17 points with Arnold Louis adding 12 rebounds. Savannah State held a 38-27 edge on the glass, but turned the ball over 23 times, with UNF scoring 21 points off those miscues.
With Friday's home opener looming on the other side of the SSU game, the Dolphins will begin a rough four-game in nine days stretch which fortunately doesn't include a trip longer than two hours. The Dolphins will face Savannah on Wednesday, home on Friday against Samford, then at Bethune-Cookman on Monday before a trip to Florida next Friday night.
