Hot diggity! It's a dog to fall in love with.
They may hail from Frankfurt, Germany, but in the past 100 years or so, hot dogs have gone all-American—as much a part of summertime as baseball and backyard barbecues. And it's a safe bet they'll turn up on a grill near you before Labor Day rolls around.
Do you like yours simple—tucked in a bun with a slather of mustard? Or all gussied up with fancy toppings? Either way, the folks at Hebrew National® (who know a thing or two about premium, 100% kosher beef hot dogs) have some tips to help you make the most of your favorite dog this grilling season.

Serving up quality since 1948
It was a simpler time when Marie Callender started serving up her signature dishes—beloved classics with made-from-scratch touches that drew loved ones in.
After almost 70 years, Marie Callender's® still believes in the power of a good meal to nurture everyone at the table. That's why we stay committed to using wholesome, high-quality ingredients, from our premium cuts of meat to the hand-stretched lattice crust on our apple pies.
And that may be why, after that first pie and coffee shop opened its doors, Marie Callender's still creates legendary meals that folks love to take time to savor.
"We plant a seed, give it water, watch it grow."
Ever wonder where Hunt's® tomatoes get that fresh, delectable, vine-ripened flavor? It starts in sunny Oakdale, Ca., the perfect climate for the finest tomatoes. There, second- and third-generation farmers like Frank Coelho work the land, picking tomatoes at the peak of freshness and sending them on from their fields to your table.
"The nutrients come out of the soil, then they're ripened by the sun, and they're delivered directly from the field to the canneries," says Coelho of the process, which—with no chemicals or artificial preservatives—makes Hunt's tomatoes 100% natural.
Meet the Hunt's farmers, and learn a little more about how they tend and harvest the tomatoes you love.
"You become a family here."

"Let's feed some kids"
What makes summer awesome? The sound of flip-flops. Frozen treats. And no school. But what makes summer not so awesome? For some kids, no school can mean no lunch. So, ConAgra Foods is partnering with video personality "Kid President" to do something about it.
For each time you view, like or share the video "Kid President's 5 Things That Make Summer Awesome," ConAgra Foods will donate the monetary equivalent of one meal — up to 2 million meals* — to Feeding America® to help provide meals for some of the 21.5 million kids who are at risk for hunger during the summer months.**
Watch the video, share it with friends and inspire others to make summer even more awesome.

Fight child hunger with hunger. It starts with a code.
Nearly 16 million children face hunger in the U.S.* For 20 years, ConAgra Foods® has been working with Feeding America® to change that.

If you have a company relocation package, try to get your business to help you find housing in the USA. They may also know people who are willing to help those who do not speak English as their first language and who do not have a history in the state they are moving to. If you are a student, then you should make use of your exchange program to help you.
There are some standard requirements to rent a house or duplex and this also applies to some apartments. You will usually need funds in the amount of one month's rent up front and another month's rent to put down as a deposit. The deposit is intended to assure the owner that you intend to treat the property with respect, and to provide them with funds if you suddenly leave the property or cause significant damage. Assuming that you look after the property, you will normally get a large portion of the deposit returned to you when you move out. It is common for a small portion of it to be put towards having the place deep cleaned, even if you have already cleaned it thoroughly in preparation for your departure.
It is customary to sign a 6 or 12 month lease agreement. Often, but not always, you will be asked for references. The amount of time it takes to have your lease approved can vary from immediately to a week or two while someone checks your references. You should be aware that some housing estates and apartment complexes have more in depth and complex rules than do individually rented out houses and duplexes and 'college student off campus housing' locations. If possible, bring English translations of references from mortgage companies or from people you have rented from previously.
Styles and prices vary dramatically across the United States. One can rent apartment homes, condominium homes, townhouse, single family houses, patio or garden homes, to name a few, depending on the city where you are being assigned. In the United States, a real estate agent is the best resource for assistance in finding the most suitable style of home, the most suitable community within a metropolitan area within the lifestyle and budget criteria of an assignee.
Cost of housing
Just as the styles vary from city to city, so does the price of homes. One can normally find a suitable home, whether it be a single family house or apartment home, within any given budget. In most US cities, the further from the centre of the city one chooses to live, the lower the real estate prices. In most of the larger metropolitan cities, one can find many cultures represented and one can find expatriate families living almost anywhere.
If you are going to buy property using a mortgage, you may wish to consider doing so before you move to the USA to avoid the need to wait until you have developed a suitable credit history in the States. Of course, should you have the funds available, you could simply purchase a property outright after your arrival.
It is advisable to buy owner's or renter's insurance. The amount covered may depend in part on how much you have invested in the property itself and also the amount of valuables that you keep at your home. Make sure you are aware of any tendencies towards flooding or other hazardous weather in the area where you have purchased or rented a home, as you will need to insure against damage from a probable risk (water damage in a flood zone, for example).
Investing in property
The property market changes rather frequently in the USA. Sometimes this is caused by trends in migration within the country, at other times it is a simple and clear indicator of the overall economy. Owning property can be a good investment. Housing and land are both very solid assets and can dramatically improve one's overall 'asset portfolio'. However, it is advisable to pre-determine how much time and money will need to be invested in a property, in addition to purchasing costs and property taxes, prior to closing a deal on a house or apartment complex.
Buying to invest requires using more complex strategies to ensure that the property will in fact yield a profit. This includes factors ranging from the location - are property values improving in that location? - to the amount of labour a place needs to increase it's value and how you are going to make that investment - will you live there and work on the building every weekend for three years to improve it's value by $20,000, will you rent it out to someone who will increase it's value, or will you simply hire professionals to increase the value sooner so that you can charge higher rental fees, for example?
Tax issues
While renters are not subject to paying property taxes, home owners are. Property taxes are also a defining factor in the quality of local school systems in America.

Diner Reviews
The Esquire Grill is a one of a
kind. The service is great, the food is done very well and they have a good wine list and a great bar to relax at."
Dined on 4/22/2013
service was good. cocktail was
amazing. however the food just wasn't that great."
Dined on 4/20/2013
Food was delicious. I had salmon
and it was cooked perfectly to my instructions and was generous in size. The vegetables were tender and had excellent flavor. My friends had the pork chop and hamburger. Both reported meals were very good. The food looked so beautiful on the plate, something some cooks in other restaurants sometimes forget to consider. Service was great from the waitress, but food was slow from the kitchen. It took about 45 minutes to get our meal after the salads. I always enjoy this restaurant and know that the food will be excellent every time."
Dined on 4/17/2013
We needed a place for dinner that
was close to the Memorial Auditorium and the Bonamassa show. The parking worked out great, right next door, and a two block walk to the show. Told the server what was up and he made everything work like clockwork!"
Dined on 4/17/2013
We enjoyed another excellent meal
and overall experience at the Esquire Grill."
Dined on 4/15/2013
This is our fourth visit to the
Esquire, and we find that the service and service rank among the best we've had. Our server was helpful with the menu selections and suggested a wine that was an excellent paring to the food we selected. The restaurant was busy with conventioneers and prom dates, yet none of the wait staff seemed unduly stressed or harried. Our waiter engaged us personably, and the food arrived without a lengthy delay. If you're downtown before a show, or just want a nice evening out, the Esquire Grill is a wonderful choice."
Dined on 4/13/2013
Energetic is one description of
the noise. To us it was just plain loud to the point that it was difficult to talk and hear what our dinner partners had to say. Otherwise the food was good as was the service. The place was packed, which probably increased the noise level."
Dined on 4/2/2013
Pricey, I ordered SOle which was
very good, but the potatoes and spinach were pretty tasteless. The appetizer artichoke was not hot nor exceptional. The apple dessert was good."
Dined on 4/2/2013
Great restaurant, great location.
Food and service are consistently excellent. Very reliable."
Dined on 3/30/2013
Our food was great! Always
delicious. My guest will be returning with her husband. Our server only checked in with us once and never offered dessert which I would have ordered. I also had to try and get anyone's attention to get a refill of my iced tea. It didn't seem as though she had too many tables, but who knows? I think she could have checked in with us on at least one of the many times she passed by our table."
Dined on 3/28/2013
On the whole, a pleasant
experience, perhaps because of a helpful & personable waiter. My spinach salad was tasty, but not what one would call refined. It was just an assemblage of coarse spinach leaves with bacon, egg & dressing, but not artistically arranged. The sole was good, but not great. It had a crust & was a bit greasy. It was served with spinach & small roasted potatoes. Portions were generous. My husband enjoyed a cheeseburger & fries. Not a "cutting edge" place, but comfortable with reasonable prices."
Dined on 3/27/2013
We had a great lunch there! Many
options to choose from on the menu. I am hosting a large group at Esquire next week for a late lunch and we can't wait!"
Dined on 3/27/2013
Food and service were great. More
choice for wine by the glass would be appreciated. Outside dining great."
Dined on 3/26/2013
We were dissappointed in the crab
louie. A small portion of fresh crab (which was good) served on an iceberg wedge. Not at all what I expected."
Dined on 3/26/2013
It was our Junior Prom and
probably the first time all of us ever went to a restaurant like this so we were not too sure what to do or what some of the menu items were. The people who were waiters and waitresses though were really helpful and treated us great. Only thing I would say is next time we need to plan ahead and know what some of the other items are on the menu so we could try them out. The food was great."
Dined on 3/16/2013
My friend and I went prior to a
musical production across the street. She has a broken foot so the valet parking was perfect. The valets and wait staff were so accommodating. The food was amazing and i was tempted to have a second plate of salmon, puréed yams and Brussels sprouts (too much of a great thing??). Highly recommend. Their food is consistently excellent."
Dined on 3/16/2013
They must have been serving too
much corned beef and cabbage near St. Pat's day. Some of beef was dry and tough. Cabbage required a knife. I've had good experiences here before, so I'm assuming this was a fluke."
Dined on 3/16/2013
Kevin was our waiter and he did a
great job. I have been to the Esquire Grill before and everything is always wonderful. Needless to say my expectations were high. The reason for not rating Esquire Grill higher was because of the food, not all of it but some of it. Specifically, I ordered the Petrale Sole with mashed potatoes. The Sole was excellent, however, the mashed potatoes were cold. My date ordered the crab salad and we think that they forgot to put any crab in or if there was some it was very skimpy. Given the price we expected more."
Dined on 3/16/2013
I was bummed... took way to long
to get our order & then even longer to get the food. Thankfully it was good when it arrived. Maybe you should have a note on the menu that a medium well request for a filet will take 45 minutes."
Dined on 3/14/2013
Great service and generous
portions. Valet parking makes everything accessible."
Dined on 3/13/2013
I had the Oven-Roasted Amish
Chicken with Butternut Squash polenta and Brussel sprouts pan roasted with bits of bacon. Very delicious and cooked perfectly! I was pleased to see many healthy choices on the menu! Bravo!"
Dined on 3/10/2013
Except for the noise the dinner
was excellent, everything was done perfectly and we really enjoyed it."
Dined on 3/10/2013
I had read quite a few reviews
stating Esquire Grill had terrible service. I have to say...I disagree. Our server was very attentive and helpful. She was quick with taking our order, and our food arrived promptly. We greatly enjoyed the cheddar bisquits, and our dinner was cooked perfectly. I would definitly go back."
Dined on 3/9/2013
We chose the Esquire Grill because
we've heard so much about it. I was disappointed. We were about the 4th table to be seated. Appetizer and salads came out timely, but we waited about 45 mins for our entrees. Overall, I was not impressed with the food. My salad was bland, my soup was much thinner than I expect chowder to be, and I had a very difficult time trying to eat my chicken as I had to cut it into pieces at the table. My husband found his filet to be bland. The banana cream pie for dessert was very good,but the apple galette was average. With so many restaurants in Sacramento to choose from, we most likely will opt for others and not come here again. Its greatest plus was its proximity to the theater."
Dined on 3/8/2013
Was very impressed from the
hostess to the meal. excellent"
Dined on 3/8/2013
Excellent food and service was
wonderful getting us to the 8 pm performance timely without asking!! Would denfinetly come back!!"
Dined on 3/7/2013
Esquire Grill is a popular lunch
spot for politicos. Consistently good service and food so it is a no-brainer for visiting business clients."
Dined on 3/7/2013
Great food and service. I had the
pork chop and it was wonderful. The server was young but very professional, courteous and appropriate."
Dined on 3/2/2013
Had to ask for a glass of water
three times and the waitress didn't come back to check on us or offer refills."
Dined on 2/28/2013
Food was OK. Ordered the - arugula
salsd with pecans, apples and pancetta. Nothing you couldn't whip up at home in 5 minutes. Portion was like a dinner side salad -a bit small. - mac and cheese. Mine is better because I use multiple cheese varieties, not the simple cheddar (or other) used here. Portion was perfect. -lemonade was perfect Ambience: everyone is doing some sort of deal, it's noisy for lunch but strangely not detrimental to your conversation. Location: perfect."
Dined on 2/26/2013
We met early for dinner before an
event and it was such a pleasure to have a waitress who respected and matched the pace we set as diners. She did not hover or push us to do anything but enjoy the food, wine and company. Made for a memorable evening."
Dined on 2/15/2013
Nice place with very good food
(small proportion though)and reasonably priced."
Dined on 2/14/2013
My husband and I ate here on
Valentine's day. The thing that I really appreciated was that they did not have a prix fee dinner. Instead. They had specials instead. Everything was excellent. The service was awesome considering that the restaurant was packed."
Dined on 2/14/2013
This was a special dinner for my
wife and I for Valentine's day. I had heard mixed reviews about this place and after going there, the mixed reviews were correct. It seems that everything we tried was neither very bad nor very good. In essence, it was truly just average."
Dined on 2/14/2013
my wife and i went to esquire fro
valentines dinner 2013. it was our first time there and it was fantastic. we had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. delicious! and our server Sara S. was very professional. we will surely be back"
Dined on 2/14/2013
food was delicious,,had the sole,
which was a very generous portion,4 slices... the waitress was very cordial, pleasant and was prompt with the service since we were going to the ballet afterwards."
Dined on 2/8/2013
The food was exceptional it just
took too long to arrive. We were seated at noon as a group of six and didn't receive our entrees for 50 minutes. Have been there before and the food is exceptional. Might just have been an off day."
Dined on 2/6/2013
Restaurant was packed, turning
away folks at the door all nite. But our server was attentive, and skilled, and made our experience delightful. Pork chop was a killer, very very tasty, and just the right portion."
Dined on 1/30/2013
Second visit here where I was
disappointed by the menu selections and the quality of food. The menu is uninspired and the food mediocre. The wait staff, however, was terrific on a busy, crowded lunch time. I don't think I will return."
Dined on 1/30/2013
Remember these 2 things. 1- Bread
& butter. Don't forget to ask for bread and butter because they just won't give it to you otherwise. When you do ask, they try to up sell you on the bread. A bit tacky for an up scale place. 2- Go early! All three times we've been to the the esquire we have had to choose a different meal than we first selected on the menu. The esquire still doesn't seem to know how to stock the kitchen for the night. They have run out of specials and other standards on their menu every time we've gone. This after we show up at 6:15 pm even though they don't close until 10pm, especially on a theater night. Otherwise the place is very nice and generally the food has been prepared well."

CATEGORIES MoviesThe Gunslinger lives.
According to Deadline.com, Warner Bros. is close to a deal for Ron Howard's "The Dark Tower."
Howard has been attempting to bring "Dark Tower" -- based on Stephen King's epic seven-part series -- to the big screen since 2010. Due to the length of the books and details story, the original plan was to make several films interspersed with two television seasons. However, after Universal -- the studio first attached to the project -- only committed to one feature, Ron and producer Brian Grazer backed out and decided to bring "Tower" elsewhere.
The report states that Javier Bardem would still be attached to play the lead character, Roland Deschain, with Howard likely directing the first feature.
Last October, Grazer said that the TV portion of the project would be broadcast on HBO.
For more on the potential "Dark Tower" deal, head to Deadline.com.

[Strasbourg, 17/10/2013] – In a letter sent to the Minister of Justice, Ms Christiane Taubira, on 2 October 2013 and published today, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Nils Muižnieks, expresses concern about respect for the human rights of the migrants required to appear at hearings of the Courts of Meaux and Bobigny held off site in the administrative detention centre of Le Mesnil-Amelot and to be held shortly in the migrants' holding facility of Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.
"I understand the French authorities' desire, in relocating these hearings, to avoid costly transfers which are sometimes conducted in conditions which do not respect the dignity of the persons concerned. However, holding off-site hearings raises several questions with regard to the human rights of the persons to be presented to the judge deciding on the legality of the deprivation of liberty at these proceedings", writes the Commissioner.
"Under the European Convention on Human Rights, all persons deprived of their liberty are entitled to bring proceedings before a court, which must not only be, but also be seen to be, independent and impartial. Yet, these off-site proceedings entail holding hearings in the immediate proximity of a place of deprivation of liberty in which the applicants are being held or detained. This situation, combined with the fact that this place is under the authority of the Ministry of the Interior, which is also a party to the proceedings, could undermine the independence and impartiality of the court concerned, at least in the eyes of the applicants."
The Commissioner also points out that the location of these hearing rooms and the problems of accessing them, particularly by public transport, could make it difficult to safeguard the rights of the defence and undermine the right to public proceedings.
Lastly, the Commissioner believes that holding these hearings outside the courts in which justice is usually delivered could give credence to the idea that foreigners are not litigants like any other.
The Commissioner shares the concerns expressed by many legal professionals on this subject and asks the Minister of Justice to inform him of the measures she intends to take to ensure that the human rights of the persons involved in these hearings are respected.

text: 15 Halloween Movies That Aren't Scary 15 Halloween Movies For Wimps by Becky Kirsch 10/31/13 771 Reactions 1.5K Shares Print 614 788 45 53 0 Halloween may be all about getting spooked, but what about those of us who like more treats than tricks? Rest assured, there are still some movies out there that will get you into the holiday spirit without giving you nightmares. Whether you want something to watch with the kids or just want to cuddle up with a blanket and a bowl of candy, here are some safer movies to watch this holiday. The Addams Family What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 They may be creepy, mysterious, and spooky, but above all, the Addamses are kooky — making this a fun flick the whole family can watch. Source: Paramount Pictures 1 / 15 Buffy the Vampire Slayer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before Sarah Michelle Gellar stepped in, Kristy Swanson was the original Buffy — albeit a bit more Valley girl, but still badass through and through. Source: 20th Century Fox 2 / 15 Edward Scissorhands What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tim Burton's beautiful masterpiece admittedly gave me a few nightmares as a kid, but now I can fully appreciate the tale in all of its sad splendor. Be warned: while it may not give you a scare, it may evoke a few tears instead. Source: 20th Century Fox 3 / 15 It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This holiday treat from the Peanuts gang focuses on Charlie Brown's right-hand man, Linus, as he waits for the mysterious Great Pumpkin (Halloween's answer to Santa Claus.) Oh, and Charlie Brown goes trick-or-treating — and gets a rock [cue the sad theme music]. Source: CBS 4 / 15 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK, so the Harry Potter films aren't Halloween movies per se, but what better way to get into the mood than with witches, wizards, goblins, and magic? (Not to mention a little pumpkin juice). Source: Warner Bros. 6 / 15 Hocus Pocus What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Arguably my favorite Halloween movie for kids, Hocus Pocus features Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as three witches who are on a hunt for eternal youth on Halloween. Thora Birch plays the heroic young trick-or-treater who falls into their clutches when her older brother wakes them from a deep sleep. Source: Disney 6 / 15 Idle Hands What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Idle Hands is definitely not a film to watch with the kiddies, but if you're jonesing for a little guilty pleasure with your Halloween films, then this one is perfect. Devon Sawa stars as a high school kid whose laziness turns deadly when his hand is possessed. It's got a few gross-out moments, but it's worth it for the cheesy laughs. Source: Columbia Pictures 7 / 15 The Nightmare Before Christmas What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's a reason The Nightmare Before Christmas finds its way back to theaters every year around this time. Another one from Tim Burton, the film captures the spirit of the holiday with a whole lotta heart, a bit of romance, and a few catchy songs. Source: Disney 8 / 15 The Phantom of the Opera What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It may not be the greatest musical-turned-movie of all time, but The Phantom of the Opera has just the perfect amount of creepiness to it without going overboard. It's worth it for the beautiful sets and costumes, not to mention vintage Gerard Butler. Source: Warner Bros. 9 / 15 Practical Magic What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The story of two sisterly witches is a love story above all, but it's still got a Halloween scene, not to mention the valuable lesson of putting the lime in the coconut. Source: Warner Bros. 11 / 15 The Rocky Horror Picture Show What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even if you can't participate in one of the amazing theater screenings of Rocky Horror, make a date to watch the campy film in your living room. It's also pretty much a guarantee that you'll be able to find this Halloween favorite lurking somewhere on TV. Source: 20th Century Fox 11 / 15 Shaun of the Dead What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Zombies get a bad rap, but in Shaun of the Dead, they're ridiculous in a totally nonthreatening way. Plus, you've gotta love Simon Pegg, and Bill Nighy as his undead "he's not my dad, he's my stepdad." Source: Universal Pictures 12 / 15 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I used to watch Disney's animated version of the Ichabod Crane tale every Halloween — once I grew up and stopped being scared of the headless horseman's pursuit of Crane in the movie's climax. Now it's a nostalgic classic for me — even if I do secretly get goosebumps when I see that flaming pumpkin flying across the covered bridge. Source: Disney 13 / 15 Teen Witch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You can't "Top That!" Though the best scene in this '80s movie is that rap song, the real story is about main character Louise's (Robyn Lively, Blake's big sister) transition into witch-hood. She made it look so glam. Source: Trans World Entertainment 14 / 15 Young Frankenstein What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You know you're safe when Mel Brooks's name is attached, and Young Frankenstein puts a hilarious twist on a creepy classic. If you love Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, then this one is right up your alley.

Because Tim Burton made it? That's a horrible reason. If anything it's a Christmas movie, because it takes place at...oh my gosh...CHRISTMAS!!! Why do humans keep thinking it's a Halloween movie? Because you want to believe Edward is scary? No. It's a Christmas movie, humanity. The-Ninja-Baker 1 year Loved 15 Halloween Movies for Wimps so I linked the article to my current post at NinjaBaking.com entitled 21 Ways to Savor a Grownup Halloween. Thank you so much, Becky, for remembering that not all of us want to be scared completely out of our wits on Halloween. thewhitenightangel 1 year also forgot "The Scream Team", "Halloweentown", "Tower of Terror", and "Corpse Bride". Letodan 2 years Nice list but, Sleepy Hollow is missing. And the new Halloween classic for me is Trick 'R Treat... It's the perfect Halloween movie because, there are references to many myths surrounding Halloween!! 356UIK 2 years Coraline :-) 356UIK 2 years Coraline :-) popculture-whore 2 years great list! and i totally agree with you all, i would add beetlejuice and casper on there. i'm a sucker for casper... can i keep you? hahah inlove23 3 years Yea, what happened to Casper?! It's a classic! lol. I love Hocus Pocus and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! I haven't seen them this year though =/ postmodernsleaze 3 years I just remembered that Gremlins should have made the list too :) Renees3 3 years i thought shaun of the dead was pretty scary too. Beetlejuice I actually just rewatched a couple weeks ago and the claymation and effects are pretty cheasy now so it's not as scary :-) We're going as Jack and Sally from TNBC this halloween, can't wait! 3 years Where was the live action Casper?? postmodernsleaze 3 years I love horror movies, but I still adore this list-- nothing like a classic, feel-good Halloween movie :) (especially the old Sleepy Hollow, I still LOVE that movie!) Beetlejuice should replace Shaun of the Dead on the list. I could still see Shaun of the Dead freaking a few people out, even if it does include some comedy. 4 years I'm not what you'd call a 'wimp' when it comes to gore, but Shaun of the Dead was flooded with enough blood & dread that it really shouldn't be on this list... It's horror first, comedy second. 4 years I dunno about you guys, but Shaun of the Dead scared the heck out of me! I had to leave the room! (Yes, I'm a super-wimp.) bleached 4 years I love Practical Magic! I can't even count how many times I've seen it. I would have added The Corpse Bride as well since it's in the same vein as other Tim Burton classics Allyace 4 years I am definitely watching Hocus Pocus on Saturday :). lilkimbo 4 years Great list! It's not necessarily for kids, but I think Zombieland would be a great addition, as well! redchick152 4 years i loved hocus pocus when i was little!!!!! Pampire 4 years I love all "scary" movies but these are ones I can enjoy with my children. But where is elvira mistress of the dark? She is the queen of Halloween after all! :witch: mharvent 4 years I don't know about you guys but when I was a kid, The Addams Family scared me akmarspice 4 years I agree, Beetlejuice should be here too! To me, it's entertaining and semi-scary. Ellenora 4 years funkygeorge--I'm going to have to disagree with you about Beetlejuice. That movie scared me (yes, I'm a wimp)! shmoo15 4 years Loves it! shmoo15 4 years Loves it! funkygeorge 4 years Great list, but I would have added Beatlejuice! misshouston 4 years Thanks for representing for us wimps, Buzz -- we always feel left out this time of year, but not now! limelindsey 4 years Yes!

Enrollment surge puts district in a bind
Original post made on Dec 5, 2008

Google has done MAJOR modifications to Slater School to make it accomodate all preschool children-it is unlikely that it will become a public elementary school again. Whisman is up for lease consideration in 2011. It should be taken back by the district.
I can't accept this explanation that the district had NO IDEA population would grow this quickly. Closing Slater was a horrible, costly decision that was mostly motivated by Google offering LOTS of money. We have to keep Google happy. Even the city council had no interest in preserving a much needed neighborhood school. Not if it meant upsetting the giant. If Google is reading, where is your "do no evil" in this situation?
on Dec 5, 2008 at 10:36 am
For those of us who fought so hard to keep Slater School open, this is not a surprise. We had thick packets of data that projected that what is happening now was actually going to take place. The then-superintendent and her cronies, along with the entire School Board, got us into this mess, and led us down this road. PACT moved from Slater to Castro, and now a proposal is to have PACT move again is on the table. The Board was short-sighted and made a bad decision in 2006; are they now more competent to make decisions concerning the students, their families and their transportation needs? The legacy of the ill-thought closure of Slater has affected many, many people; I hope that the Board, in considering spending 2 million dollars, is really thinking this through better than they did the Slater-closure issue.
on Dec 5, 2008 at 5:58 pm
In response to Parent (in Castro neighborhood):
I went to alot of the board meetings at the time of the closure, with worry that they would close my school. I stayed in the loop as much as possible.
I don't disagree with your first paragraph. However, I must say, that the Google deal (offering LOTS of money) was not on the table when the district decided to close Slater.
It seems to me that Elenor Yick was working on closing Slater for quite a while. There were many things being done before the announcement of a closure which leads me to this idea.
But, I am told that Slater had a few potential people looking at the site AFTER the closure was announced, and Google was only one of them.

Ed.'s Note: In lieu of a traditional preview, Corbin and I discussed our thoughts on the series as well as our hopes, fears, dreams, aspirations, dreams, hopes, and fears. Also, we are well aware that we did not use the proper spelling of the opponent team's name or the names of its players, but this is the playoffs and disrespecting opponents' humanity begins now.
CORBIN: Joe, I gotta say, I am FEELING very good about this series for our trusty Portland Trail Blazers.
JOE: Really? I feel good about this series but my feelings should not be trusted. I once believed that Meyers Leonard and J. J. Hickson were a match made in frontcourt heaven (think of the high-lows!). I need you to tell me how crazy I am. I need you to squash my hopes.
CORBIN: Well, Joe, normally I would do that. I am a bitter and sad man whose only joys come in the form of old Baseball Prospectuses and seeing the things I love crushed. For instance, I might normally say something like, "The Blazers have a terrible defense, and an especially bad pick and roll defense, one that has been lit up by teams like the Losetown Sock-its, and in fact, the Socks themselves, all year." But, I dunno, I just have a good FEELING about this one!
JOE: I expected you to appease my swirling thoughts with math and reason, but you're saying that feelings are all you have? Feelings are all I have, Corbin, but I had hopes for you. I thought you were an analyst.
CORBIN: I was, until I learned about girls, yessireebob! The old me would have looked at these teams' regular season matchups: a 116-101 Smocks victory in November, a 111-104 Blazers victory in December, a 126-113 Pet Rocks victory in January, and a "pretty devastating" 118-113 Blazer overtime loss in March, and determined that the Blazers' crummy defense (107.4 points surrendered per hundred possessions, 22nd in the league) is going to have trouble keeping up with the Lockets' atomic powered spread screen and roll attack (111 points per hundred possessions, 4th in the NBA.). BUT THE NEW ME is looking at that Damian Lillard guy and saying "Hey, who can guard that dude!?" Now that point guard P-Lick Blurry has been arrested by the NSA!
JOE: *imagining P-Lick Blurry being waterboarded in a secret prison until he admits that Damian Lillard didn't actually touch his face that one time* *also grinning*
CORBIN: And hey, the old me might point out that Sugar Land stars Fright High-Fjord and Japes Hard-Ones averaged FIFTY FIVE AND A HALF POINTS against the Blazers this year and that Robin Lopez doesn't have the horizontal foot speed to guard them on screen and rolls or the strength to cover Delight in post-ups. But the new me, the me that is a hit with the ladies and a friend to all my brosephs, thinks, "Hey that Lames Larden with his, frankly, girly flopping and his 'shooting into contact' and 'gunning for high value shots, like threes and foul shots' might seem useful to eggheads, but is it really honest? And do people really win sports championships when they're dishonest? Not to mention that D'Wait How-Weird character–so what if he looked terrific this year after his mishaps in LA? Give me a tough dude who scowls all the time, like that Kendrick Perkins, WHO HAS A RING over some JOKER who "gets an insane number of rebounds" or "blows up pick and rolls" or "blocks shots at the rim." If he had a winner's attitude, would he want Kobe to yell at him? Isn't that how JOBS work? Isn't Chamber Parsnips a little PRETTY to go all the way?
JOE: Sorry I got kinda lost there in the dream of P'Tricky Boo Fairly getting tortured until he admits that he's evil. In my dream, the prison was in Illinois and Meyers Leonard was there. He was wearing a mask. He was eating an ice cream cone. But anyways, yeah, so the Blazers are gonna win because they represent a more traditional stereotype of masculinity?
CORBIN: Absolutely. Joe, lemme tell you about men. Men win basketball games, and other games. LaMarcus Aldridge is a man. Damian Lillard: Man. Robin Lopez: a longhair, for certain, but still a man. I crunched some numbers, and the Blazers are worth exactly 5 MUPs more than the Grouseton Flock of Kids; that's Men Ubove Replacement, Joseph.
JOE: I think I might be the baseline for a replacement-level man. Last night I got a little choked up at the end of Friday Night Lights and then again during Jurassic Park when the one Velociraptor watched the T-Rex kill the other Velociraptor because Velociraptors just seem to value relationships so much and seeing one left to survive alone just tugs at the heartstrings and–HEY! HOW ABOUT THOSE MATCHUPS HUH? YOU THINK LILLARD HANDLES POLICE BEVERAGE'S PRESSURE? WILL LAMARCUS STRUGGLE AGAINST THOSE STRETCHED FOURS OF HOUSTON?
CORBIN: If they can keep from being ground into pesto by the giant spikes on his ass!
JOE: Whose ass are we talking about? And are you sure that's how you make pesto?
CORBIN: Yes. That Tear-quince Moans character will get starts when he's not harassing the local homeless, and he's been like a -200 against the Blazers because LaMarcus dominates Moans' small and weak body. Home-Free Castle-Pee also has a small and weak body, but he can shoot threes so he's more useful than Moans. Cranberry Spittoons, a very handsome young man who starts at their other wing is a dilettante power forward who will get minutes against Aldridge. He would probably be able to get LMA out of his comfort zone by shooting all those threes if threes ever went in, in the playoffs. The Blazers could try to matchup and go small with Dorell Wright, if they decide to adopt the coward lifestyle.
JOE: Is there any possibility that the Blazers could convince LaMarcus to play center, thus matching the Rockets small lineups while pulling Howard away from the basket too?
CORBIN: No. If LaMarcus plays center even once, I will regard the series as won.
JOE: If only the Blazers had another 7-foot athlete with a big body and a pretty jump shot who could bang with D'Right Showered on one end and drag him outside on the other end…
CORBIN: Yeah, if only. …wait, what about…
CORBIN: Joe, it's not a what if, obviously. It's an "It was." I mean, Rasheed Wallace would purposely avoid using his post game so that it wouldn't show up on post-season scouting reports, or that's what he told people! I can't believe Meyers sacrificed his regular season stats for the team like this. So brave.
JOE: I hope he gets his own flavor of ice cream at Salt and Straw for such courage and I hope it tastes like the sacrificial blood of a virgin.
CORBIN: Joe, is it possible that you just want Virgin Blood flavored ice cream?
JOE: Enough about me, what role do you see Will Barton playing in this series?
CORBIN: Frankly, I think he will shoot lightning bolts of of his fingers and guide the ball into the basket.
JOE: Ooooh, I read about that in his Draft Express profile.
CORBIN: I am a little worried about Nico Batum assassinating the mayor of Boosieton in the name of French independence from British rule. The Mayor of Boosieton is a member of the Royal Family.
JOE: Sorry I don't see how that's a concern. What I'm seeing is a girly basketball team inhabited by under-replacement level men in a soon-to-be leaderless dystopia, while the Blazers will have Meyers Leonard shedding his Clark Kent act and Will Barton shooting laser beams from his fingers and LaMarcus making pesto with his ass spikes. I mean, how could the Blazers even lose this series with all of that? My only remaining concern is Mo Williams. This might all hinge on the play of Mo, right?
CORBIN: …you know, I am afraid I don't know who that is, and I need to get to a Bar Mitzvah and I forgot how to use Basketball Reference altogether. Hella gone! *Jumps out of window*

Reality check
Yesterday was not a fun day. I was discing the corn field and realized that when it's done I can put away the SA for the winter. The reality is next year I'm cutting the field size by 2/3. I'm at the point that I'm not able to take care of that much garden. The SA won't have much to do. Neither will the H and the planter Cub. Kind of sad when you're aging along with your tractors.

In all things know which way the wind is blowing.
Re: Reality check
I have watched that happen over the years with my grandparents. Back when I was young, they used to have a 2 acre plot, within the past few years and my grandpa suffering from COPD and being on oxygen it greatly reduced year by year until there wasn't even one planted this year. My grandpa turned 80 and had his gallbladder removed so he wasn't able at all. I live about an hour away but wish I lived closer so I could carry it on.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations is investigating after a bank inside a Kansas City, KS, Walmart was robbed.
An FBI spokesperson said about 1 p.m. the Community American Credit Union at Parallel Parkway and Hutton Road was robbed by a man.
The robber approached the teller, showed a note and said he was robbing the place. The teller told authorities he or she saw the butt end of a handgun.
The robber left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money. Witnesses saw him leave the Walmart parking lot in a white PT Cruiser.
The robber is described as a white man in his 50s, about 6 feet tall and weighing 175 pounds. He was wearing a white and red OU baseball hat, black jacket and white T-shirt with blue jeans and white and blue tennis shoes. He had a grey goatee beard and salt and pepper hair.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Just above the West Ridge Amphitheater (as for Allosaur) and just below the Unsaid area there lies a set of less-often-climbed routes. This is the High Anxiety area. High Anxiety and Varieties Of Religious Experience are two of the better routes here. Most of the routes here are 5.10 to 5.11 and almost all of them are runout at least a little.
P1 is runout on so-so gear. Take a set of RP's and small Stoppers with a set of cams to 3". No doubles are really needed. P2 is bolted but there is quite some distance to the first bolt. A [hand-sized] cam (2.5") can be placed to fill the void. The top-out over P2 requires a few medium to large nuts or small cams.

Let's face it -- there's but one match in Serie A this weekend, and that's the meeting of the two teams on top, as Napoli travel to Turin with hopes of being the first side to beat Juventus in the past, oh, decade or so.
Still, you'll want to keep the TV on after Juve - Napoli, because next comes Lazio hosting Milan. The club insists Massimiliano Allegri's job isn't in danger, but it seems the only way he'll truly stay safe is if he conjures up some devilish magic that grabs his side all three points at Lazio.
But if you're looking for something to pass the time on Sunday, there's a couple fixtures that would be worth your while, particularly Catania's trip to face Inter. And, of course, watching Roma is always a fun trip down the rabbit hole. Their match against Genoa finishes off Week 8.
Check back in with this StoryStream as we bring you full previews of every match, although how we're going to get down more than a few words about Cagliari - Bologna hasn't been determined yet.

Jon Jepson draws on his experience navigating the seas for 20 years while captaining Makani Catamaran's crew in a 65-foot luxury vessel that he helped build. He strives to combine grand prix sailing with charter boat comfort while capably navigating waters from Seattle to the Panama Canal.
During morning, afternoon, and evening cruises, Captain Jon's staffers sling refreshments as the ship clips through the waves at speeds of up to 30 knots, zipping past paddling sea turtles or schools of dolphins. Inside the $1.8 million catamaran, an LCD television with a Bose surround-sound system immerses viewers in in-depth exposés of Davy Jones's locker. Below two billowing sails, tanners loll on special nets at the ship's stern, and bartenders pour soft drinks or stronger stuff to fortify them.
Your one shop Surf Shop, we have over 300 boards in stock, we also carry bodyboards and all surf and beach stuff. WE do rentals and Ding repairs with a fast turn around time.
The Nashville International Auto Show showcases rovers from the entire automotive spectrum, including classics and new models from major manufacturers, as well as the latest environmentally friendly machines. Feel free to mount the finely upholstered saddles of more than 200 debut motor-carriages like the Chevrolet Cruze, Acura TSX Sports Wagon, and Cadillac CTS Coupe, or pedal to the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Camaro Concept exhibit, which provides an up-close look of the ethanol fuel-powered car's custom paint job, advanced performance parts, and detachable beard.
Souled Out Surf rents and sells boards perfect for riding waves or cruising calm waters. The expert staff might recommend a custom longboard or an ultra-wide standup paddleboard, which is stable enough to support beginners. They also train new boarders during private and group lessons.
Evan Duffin-Barnes first took to a surfboard at age two, sporting floaties and a diaper. During his childhood on Oahu's southeast side, he spent his entire life learning to longboard, shortboard, and bodyboard on the area's intense shore breaks. His love of the water continued throughout his youth as he was both a high school swimmer and embarked on a college surfing career. Nowadays, Duffin-Barnes, a semi-professional surfer and avid big wave rider, enjoys tow-surfing and owns Island Surf Academy, where he passes on surfing expertise and the other topics he has studied since before he was potty-trained: safe ocean exploration and respect for the environment for future generations.
Novices slowly gain the confidence to ride in the zen-like curl of a wave as instructors show them how to paddle and stand atop their board. More advanced boarders use the lesson to hone their competitive edge, and surf camps bolster kids' confidence on a board and foster environmental awareness. As the sun rises each day and old fishermen stretch their arms in preparation for exaggerated gestures, the academy's team of locals lead custom surf tours, guiding participants to the area's choicest swells on jaunts that can include hikes, snorkeling, and picturesque views.
For at least a few minutes, Diamond Head Parasail allows passengers to experience the thrill of flight as they float above the waters of the South Shore while being towed by a lemon-yellow speedboat. Founders Greg, Mike, and Mamie Longnecker decided to share their lifelong passions for adrenaline-pumping thrills by offering the opportunity for visitors gain a bird's eye view of the the crystalline waters and the surrounding islands. As the boat picks up speed, a deckhand begins releasing line and the canopy lifts individuals or pairs into the air. For beginners, 500 feet of line is enough to provide a memorable introduction to parasailing, although the crew also offers extreme rides that let out 1,000 feet of line, which provides enough altitude for passengers to snag a particularly soft cloud as a souvenir.

CHARLESTON – U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Resident Agent in Charge John Ryan jointly announced today that as a result of the April 27th Prescription Drug Take-Back event, a total of 4,642 pounds of unwanted, unused and expired prescription drugs were collected from citizens and households across West Virginia. The April 27th collection results surpassed the previous Take-Back record of 4572 pounds collected last year, in April 2012.
U.S. Attorney Goodwin said, "This year's record total is another milestone in the fight against prescription drug abuse. West Virginians understand how devastating the prescription drug problem is for our families, and they're responding in the most effective way they can: by getting rid of potentially dangerous medicine that they don't need any more."
DEA Resident Agent in Charge Ryan said, "Prescription drug abuse has plagued so many of our communities. When people voluntarily take prescriptions out of their homes and dispose of them properly, it truly helps our fight against prescription drug abuse. I commend all of the federal, state and local partners in West Virginia for their assistance, which has made this sixth Take-Back a success."
The April Take-Back designated more than 100 sites throughout West Virginia, providing citizens with several locations to drop off expired, unused and unwanted medications. Nationwide, more than 5,100 sites participated.
In the five previous Take-Back events, the Drug Enforcement Administration and numerous federal, state, and local law enforcement partners have collected more than 2 million pounds (1,018 tons) of prescription medications nationwide.

According to Politico, CNN, and AP, John Boehner has proposed that taxes could go up on millionaires, provided they were accompanies also by spending cuts, entitlement cuts, and tax reform.
Not surprisingly, Obama has already declined, as his demand is for taxes to go up for those making $250K or more.
That being said, it sounds like this is a start to the real Fiscal Cliff negotiations. Now that the subject of tax hikes has been breached, the two sides have a shot at horse trading, and finding enough common ground to avert the Cliff.
That being said, Boehner's spokesman told Politico: "The lines of communication remain open, but there is no agreement, nor is one imminent."

Jeri Smith-Ready – Shine
The third and final volume in the Shade trilogy. Aura has finally said goodbye to Logan, but there's still trouble and heartache again – especially when something terrible happens to Zachary, and the anti-ghost anti-Post-Shifter measures are amped up by the government. As with the previous volumes, this is a compulsive page-turner – a terrific blend of romance and mystery. The reasons for the Shift are further delved into, alongside what the Shift means for big business and government. The world of this trilogy is really appealing and so well done – with characters that feel real even in that alternate-world – and it's a shame to say goodbye to them. Really looking forward to seeing whether JSR writes any more YA fiction.
Laura Jane Cassidy – Eighteen Kisses
The second story about Jacki King sees this girl detective with paranormal abilities haunted by another missing woman. This time Jacki has the support of the police (well, mostly) and some definite leads – yet it seems like someone involved in the case, about a girl who went missing on her eighteenth birthday, is lying. As part of her cover story, Jacki's back in Dublin, doing an internship at a music magazine and reconnecting with her old friends – and making one or two new ones. As with the first book, the balance between the paranormal stuff and the real-life emotions is expertly handled – the world here is completely believable. Fast-paced, with some marvellously funny bits alongside the creepier and angsty ones.
Deb Caletti – The Story of Us
I generally adore Deb Caletti's books, but this one felt a little 'meh' – which I even feel vaguely guilty about saying. I love the quieter feel of Deb Caletti's books, and the rich cast of quirky supporting characters, and the reflective parts, but in this case it felt a little too understated at the quiet parts, a little too reflective, a little too quirky. The story is centred around a wedding, and the focus is on high school graduate Cricket, who's worried that her mother will run off before the wedding (as she's done before) and also concerned about her own relationship with her long-term boyfriend. There's also a lot about dogs. Maybe that was it, for me. There's a lot to like, and I really did enjoy Cricket's insecurities and uncertainties about moving away from home, but I felt the show/tell balance was off a little, I guess. YMMV – I've come across reviews naming this as Caletti's best book yet.
Meg Rosoff – Vamoose
Short yoke from a while back. A teenage mother gives birth to a moose. Just the right level of zany and snarky you'd expect. Nice quick read.
Leigh Stein – The Fallback Plan
Ah, 20something post-college angst! My second-favourite kind (after, of course, teen). Esther has just graduated with a degree in theatre and is back living with her parents, hoping she develops some kind of chronic illness so she can stay cocooned forever. Instead she finds herself with a job – nanny to a family still recovering from the loss of their first child a few years before. This moves along nicely and there are some gorgeous observations in here – looking forward to reading her next book.
Sarah Rees Brennan – Unspoken (via Net Galley)
I mostly want there to be a whole book about Holly and Angela. There is lots of other good stuff in here, but mostly that's what I picked up. Basically, this is the tale of a young intrepid reporter, Kami, and what happens in a small village when the creepy gothic family, the Lynburns, return. There are lots of gothic-y tropes and secrets and intrigues, blended with realistic contemporary heroines and heroes. The tone is very very Sarah-ish, especially in the dialogue. Worth checking out – on shelves in September.

Marines…When Do They Get to Come Home? Warning…graphic images…
We have been at war for over a decade! The first combat action was an invasion of Iraq starting on 20 March 2003 by an invasion force led by the United States.
The War on Terror has killed more civilians than military personnel on all sides combined. So, might I be so bold as to ask…What is the total cost of this war? In REAL, human terms, what price has already been paid by American Men and Women? What price has been paid by all of the innocent civilians killed, injured and affected by this War on Terror?
My personal experience in the Marine Corps was surreal at times. I was expected to be a KILLER if my superior ordered me to do so! I was an Expert shot with my M-16 and could ding 10 out of 10 bull's-eyes at 500 yards with my M-16. It was a target…just as these young soldiers above see the dead body…just a target!
The Marine Corps taught me in boot camp, that "civilians" are "trash". This is what my drill instructors told us all constantly, breaking any civilian gene in our teenaged bodies! The weak "recruits" were picked on constantly if they dared to think on their own! We were not allowed to call ourselves "Marines" until we graduated from 13 weeks of Boot Camp…until we graduated, we were "recruits" at very best!
The numbers are even higher now. How many more Americans must die to defeat "terror"? It's time for this war to end. How many more innocent men, women and children must die?
Marines are pictured in this image directly above. The young men in the picture are highly trained killing machines. They are the poor and middle-class in America…the BACKBONE of America. They utilize their training to kill effectively and quickly. After a decade…can they come home? Please?
How many more Human-Beings have to die before this war can be ended peacefully? Knowing the nature of man-kind, war cannot end peacefully. The peaceful men are the minority. The Ultra-Rich have bought the majority while remaining the minority. I know, none of this makes sense. The War on Terror has bagged the bad guys, yet people continue to die on all sides every day!
When will the killing end. When will The Marines get peace? When will America bring our heroes home? I vote RIGHT NOW!

Scott Wentworth Will Replace Brian Bedford in Stratford Festival's Merchant of Venice
By Andrew Gans
The Stratford Festival has announced that Brian Bedford, who received a 2011 Tony nomination for his performance in the revival of The Importance of Being Earnest, has been forced to withdraw from the company's production of The Merchant of Venice due to medical reasons.
Bedford, who was scheduled to play the role of Shylock, is suffering from a medical condition, which, though treatable, requires immediate attention.
Artistic director Antoni Cimolino, who is directing the production, said in a statement, "We wish Brian a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him back to the Festival in the years ahead."
Bedford will be replaced by Scott Wentworth, whose summer roles also include Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof and Capulet in Romeo and Juliet.
"When this situation arose, I thought of all the people – both internally and externally – who could play the part of Shylock and quickly realized the best person was in our company," added Cimolino. "When I told Brian about the selection of Scott, he called the choice 'inspired.'
"This will be the third role this season in which Scott plays a father dealing with a strong-willed daughter. Scott has played such leading Shakespearean roles here as Macbeth, Iago, Mark Antony and Claudius. He has been intensely interested in Shylock since playing Antonio in our last production of The Merchant of Venice."
The Stratford Festival's 2013 season runs until Oct. 20, featuring Romeo and Juliet, Fiddler on the Roof, The Three Musketeers, The Merchant of Venice, Tommy, Blithe Spirit, Othello, Measure for Measure, Mary Stuart, Waiting for Godot, Taking Shakespeare, and The Thrill, along with more than 150 events at The Forum.

10Love It or Leave It: What the Hell is This, Kanye West?
This is Kanye in Paris, and it must either be cold, or he's got a rancid, raging case of facial herpes that he's worried about the world seeing. I'm guessing it's probably that second thing, because I don't know about where you guys are, but it's been damn cold here on the Mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. It's been postively frigid, and I mean that when I say it, considering I'm originally from northeastern Pennsylvania, where a day of -2 is no big deal.
That all being said, I prefer to think that Kanye has a big old outbreak that he's trying to disguise (and with Kim Kardashian as a girlfriend, that's totally plausible), and not that he's a big old weenie when it comes to weathering cold temperatures.
In any case, it's totally ridiculous and I hate it. The end.

It wouldn't look so stupid if he had bought a balaclava that already had the eye holes in it instead of ripping a hole into what just looks like a giant toque.
Also..I'm really sick of this stupid weather. I'm in Alberta, Canada and I SHOULD be used to the cold but I'M SICK OF IT.
why do you keep writing about him on this site? he is not even interesting. and he sucks. 100s of celebrities in this world and this is the guy you want to write about? everything this man puts on is trash. his girlfriend isn't even interesting. you might as well fallow me around and take picks of me riding my bike to work and walking my dog. i can tell you my fashion is 1000 times better and i have so many good story about crazy homeless junkies.
the less we see of kanye the better, so i say LOVE IT
You can have my -41 weather…. any takers?
Maybe he's trying to hide is face because he doesn't want to be seen with Kim !!! They are both huge pieces of shit and I wish they would cover both of their ugly ass faces and go away far far away ! One makes me sicker then the other !! They are the two most selfish people on the planet and they deserve each other but I wish they would just go away because they are not worth the air they breathe !!!!
My two cats were just fighting over a feather toy, and one scared off the other so bad that she jumped into a trashcan from fright, which subsequently scared the other cat and made her scatter. Now, after a thorough investigation of the trashcan, they have decided they would rather play with it than with the toy that originated the drama. Thought everyone should know.
CUTE!!!, totally not being facetious…
I know everyone here would rather read about cats than Kanye!

Air Force had a huge game from running back Anthony LaCoste as he rushed for 263 yards on 23 carries and scored three touchdowns on the day as the Falcons won 42-28. This win for the Falcons was their first against a FBS opponent all season, and not only was the offense on fire the Falcons defense had a big day as well.
Army did rush for 308 yards but the longest run of the day for the Black Knights was just a 20 yard run. The Falcons force Army to miss a pair of field goals, including one of them was blocked. Air Force held Army to go 5 of 13 on third downs and 1 of 3 on fourth downs. While Air Force gave up yards they were able to stop Army when it counted.
Freshman quarterback Nate Romine was a nice compliment to LaCoste's huge rushing day by completing 8 of 11 passes for 111 yards and rushed for another 33 yards with a touchdown, but more importantly they did not turn the ball over.
The game turned to Air Force's favor late in the second half. Army had just drove down the field on a 10-play drive that went 75 yards and lasted 4:32 for an Army touchdown. That score put Army up 21-14 with 1:58 left in the half, but then LaCoste happened. He took the first carry on that drive for 43 yards to put the Falcons on Army's own 29-yard line, and then Romine connected with Garrett Griffin on a 19-yard pass to be at Army's 3-yard line. Two plays later Romine scored his only score from 1-yard out.
Air Force took that momentum and score the first two touchdowns of the second half and lead 35-21 with 14:45 left in the game. The two teams traded scores the rest of the way, and Air Force secured the win as they forced Army to throw an incomplete pass on a 4th-and-3 play at their own 32.
Getting a win over Army will not help heal the wounds of a poor 2013 season but getting past one of their main rivals definitely gives the team some confidence. Other positives are that this game for Air Force was their best performance of the season.
