Hi, my name is Mike Hohlweg. I am not a doctor, nurse, or nutritionist. I am an average person like you but believe I understand the actual cause of Diverticulitis, Colitis and Crohn's.
|Hi, I'm Mike Hohlweg, author of Pain Free Foods. I believe this is the most effective diverticulitis, diverticulosis diet ever researched and written. We are a family business that strives to help every customer become pain free, inflammation free, symptom free, and attack and flare-up free. Please take five minutes to read what might be the most important information any diverticulitis sufferer could ever learn. We will not waste your time.
Doctors are taught: diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn's are incurable
- PastedGraphic-1This "incurability" belief among doctors is documented. Let me prove it to you from medical websites:
- Diverticular disease: http://www.cdha.nshealth.ca/patientinformation/nshealthnet/0274.pdf Colitis: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ulcerative-colitis/DS00598 Crohn's: http://www.medicinenet.com/crohns_disease/article.htm
- The theme of these articles seems to be that the even the cause of these diseases is unknown and there is no known cure. Treatment may or may not even reduce symptoms and although some people go into remission, patients will have either diverticular disease, colitis or Crohn's until the day they die.
- Do you believe those "facts?" Remember that scurvy and polio were once "incurable." Later the cures were discovered. Please give me just a few minutes of your time. I will not waste it."
What causes diverticulitis, colitis, and Crohn's?
Don't Skip This Section, whatever you do!
Because the cause of these diseases is unknown (remember the medical links above) doctors have documented there is no known cure. They help people as much as they can by treating symptoms with drugs. This is valuable for many, because it increases their quality of life. It is not my favorite form of help because it is not permanent solution. Furthermore the drugs used to suppress symptoms include:
- Sulfa drugs (sulfasalizing)
- Corticosteroids (prednisone)
- 5-Aminosalicylates (Asacol, Pentasa, Rowasa, or 5-ASA)
- Immunosuppressives (Imuran, Cyclosporine, 6-MP, or Methotrezate)
- Anti_TNF (Remicade)
- Antibiotics such as (Metronidazole or Flagyl (™)and Ciprofloxacin or Cipro (™)
The real problem with these drugs is that if a sane person reads the side effects, they might run screaming from the room. Don't get me wrong, I understand that when you are in pain, you eventually do what you have to, but read the side effects of these medications and you will notice that they closely resemble the problem and symptoms you are trying to get rid of. That scares me. Once when I told a doctor about the side effects being very serious, he told me: "Don't worry, we have drugs to help with side effects too." Am I telling you that you should not take medication or antibiotics? Am I asking you not to seek medical attention? Absolutely not, that would be reckless and I am not qualified to do so. What I am saying is that a few dietary changes might have a dramatic effect on symptoms such as inflammation attacks, flare-ups, pain, bloating and food stagnation. I am Michael Hohlweg, the author of Pain Free Foods. I have helped thousands of people with these diseases by developing an eating program for digestive disorders. After people try my eating program, fewer than 1 in 100 tell us that it did not work. To be honest, this does not mean it will work for you but please continue on for a couple more minutes. Some people believe that diverticulitis; colitis and Crohn's are not traditional diseases. With many diseases, microbes, bacteria, virus or toxicity within the body are the causes. To me, digestive disorders do not fit that definition. Instead, I believe that diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn's are a condition of inflammation. At the very least, inflammation is the primary symptom for most people. If this is true, elimination of inflammation may be what is necessary to gain relief. This is what diet may help with. Of course colitis has many forms including ulcerative colitis and a dozen sub-categories. In Crohn's, the inflammation is centralized in the small intestines and upper colon, not just the sigmoid. Crohn's also includes other autoimmune related problems, so the three diseases certainly have their own set of particulars.
I believe that the same issue may cause diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn's symptoms and therefore the solution to symptoms for all three is virtually identical. Before you dismiss my opinion, consider that I have helped over 7000 people find relief from all three issues using only diet alteration. Is it easy? Not necessarily. That would depend on the person but again if 99 out of 100 people find our program to be their relief solution and refuse our refund offer, I say that our program is very workable for the average person. We have many clients in their 80′s and 90′s who have succeeded at this. Many others with a caregiver or loved one, also succeed with their help. Here is an analogy for you to help you understand why your body has not healed itself from this digestive disorder: Let's say that a certain person, (let's call him John) is unaware that UV rays from the sun causes sunburns. John likes to work outside without his shirt to stay cool. During the summer, John keeps getting this red inflammation on his shoulders and chest that is painful and unpleasant but he does not know the cause of the problem. No one ever told him that a sunny day was a threat to the health of his skin. John continues to work in the sun and often gets badly burned. John tries salves, lotions, pain killers and folk remedies but he never gets better. In fact over time he is getting worse. We all know what John's mistake is and we could tell him that if he would just stop doing the one thing that was irritating his skin, his body would heal the burn and he would probably never get sunburned again. You and I know why John gets burned. To us it is simple. The human body is equipped to deal with inflammation on its own. The problem with chronic inflammation is that we, like John are doing the same thing, day in and day out that caused the inflammation in the first place. John's body cannot heal his sunburn while he continues to go out in the sun several times per week. If John never figures out the cause, he will never get better. It is the same for you. Could it be something simple that you are doing every day that keeps your digestive tract inflamed? I believe that it is and in a minute I am going to let you in on the secret.
Here are the most commonly recommended treatments for digestive disorders. Hint: They are treatments, none of them heal or cure. Do you continue to use these methods even though you know; in the long run … they don't work?
Are You…
- Drinking lots of water
- Using heating pads or water bottle
- Considering surgery to repair or remove damaged portions of the digestive tract
- Taking prescriptions to reduce symptoms and counter infection
- Trying to stay regular with drugs and fiber.
- Submitting to embarrassing procedures such as colonoscopies, enemas or scans.
- Using over the counter medications such as antacids and NSAIDS
- Following the Mayo Clinic Diet or other liquid or bland diet.
What are we missing?
Through my research and discovering how to get myself over my digestive disorder, I came to believe that the only things that could be inflaming the digestive tract were food, drink and stomach acid. Something in those few things must be causing all the trouble. But how could food, drink and stomach acid be culprits? It did not seem possible. Obviously acid such as hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) could theoretically cause inflammation but isn't the body designed to tolerate its own digestive acid? Could it be "too much" acid that is causing all this trouble? So I began to research. I found that acid is at the heart of the digestive disorders. Once I thought about it, some digestive disorders are even named after acid and it's burning effect such as; "acid reflux" and "heartburn." I wanted to know about the others. It turned out that the whole group of digestive disorders might be linked to the over (or even,under) production of acid. The diseases that may fit this description are: diverticulitis, colitis, Crohn's, GERD, acid reflux, celiac, IBD, IBS, and heartburn. If you are concerned about the validity of my theory, look at the medical references on this exact subject for reflux and GERD:
- http://www.medicinenet.com/gastroesophageal_reflux_disease_gerd/page6.htm
- http://refluxdefense.com/heartburn_GERD_articles/introduction-causes-and-symptoms.html
What might help me understand if Mike's theory on stomach acid causing digestive inflammation is right or not?
I did hundreds of hours of research into this subject and here are some verifiable facts:
- Diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn's (modern digestive disorders) have increased 20 fold in the last few decades. http://www.westonaprice.org/digestive-disorders/acid-reflux-a-red-flag
- Digestive disorders such, as Diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn's exist in very few places. The populations of seven countries (there are over 190 countries) have virtually all the digestive disorders. See reference medical link below:
- These same countries (US, UK, CAN, AU, NZ, DE, and SA) all have a modern, "Westernized" diet that is not found elsewhere. http://www.nationmaster.com/red/pie/mor_oth_non_gas_and_col-mortality-other-noninfective-gastroenteritis-colitis
- Billions of people in much of Asia and Africa for instance, have virtually no incidence of digestive disorders (same reference).
What is the common denominator of these 7 troubled countries?
During a two year sabbatical overseas when I was 19, my digestive disorder seemed to "go away." I had not intentionally done anything differently and had not taken any medications. The remission was not instant or dramatic. In fact I did not really even think much about it until later when I returned to the US. My bloating, pain and food stagnation all came screaming back. The only thing that was different, was my diet. The recurrence was discouraging, but it was the foundation of a new theory that diet somehow causes the main symptom of digestive disorders which is inflammation. I had no doubt that somehow diet was causing my stomach to produce way too much acid. After all I could feel the acid burning my throat several times per week. Now I had to figure out how diet was causing the inflammation. My research led me to believe that a few foods I started calling "catalyst foods" were acid triggers. I also found that many foods, combined with a "trigger food" became catalyst foods as well. Using this premise, I created a list of five foods that digestive disorder sufferers should never eat (catalyst foods). All other foods were fine to eat but not every food could be mixed with a "trigger food" in the same meal without causing acid. I did not just come up with a theory, I tested it. First, of course I was the guinea pig. In less than two weeks following a couple of eating rules, I felt better, so I tried to recruit some acquaintances as volunteers. Two of my friends (a married couple); Patrick and Michelle each had a different digestive disorder. A doctor had told Patrick that his gall bladder was causing his digestive disorder and subsequently he allowed the doctor to remove it. Less than a year later he had the same problems back again full force. Michelle had diverticulitis. Both of them followed my catalyst food avoidance program and in less than six weeks they both reported to me that they no longer had symptoms. For Michelle especially, who was chronic, this was very exciting news. Note: No two people get the exact same result. Your results may vary. Now I know what you are thinking: Three people is not a "clinical study." I agree, but it was encouraging. I took my digestive disorder diet to the Internet and recruited 25 people willing to give it a try. One person dropped out saying it was too tough. The experiment went on for 8 weeks. At that time, one person said that the program did not help her. 23 people said that they had very positive results from the program. Again, I hesitate to specifically state exactly how good the results were. False or exaggerated claims are everywhere on the Internet and have caused tremendous problems for the few honest and functional solutions out here. Instead I again point to my refund rate as some evidence of customer satisfaction. The normal refund rate for programs of this type is 10% to 20% depending on cost, term of refund and website claims. My customer refund rate (and there are NO CONDITIONS) is less than 1%. Although I make no claims of miracle cures or fast, or easy solutions, my refund rate supports an assumption that approximately 99% of my customers are satisfied. Results, not promises are what you want. Most websites deliver the other way around. Note: no one including me can guarantee your results!
How do we compare to doctors, medicines and other allopathic methods?
The methods used by doctors include removal of part of the sigmoid colon, colonoscopies, prescriptions and the world's most famous diet; the "Mayo Clinic" diet for diverticular disease, colitis and Crohn's patients. To our knowledge none of those things have ever caused a single patient to heal or be cured. Those methods either give a rest or reduce symptoms and that is fine if that is all you want. The Mayo Clinic diverticulitis diet (used for diverticulitis, colitis and Crohn's) even says on its website that it does not cure anything. It will only give you a "rest."
Read it from the Mayo Clinic itself: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diverticulitis-diet/my00736
Am I saying any of these things are bad? Of course not. Doctors know 100 times what I know about disease and proper medical treatment. I just believe that if you want to consider using your diet as a tool for getting your life back, you will be pleased with the quality of our research, the validity of our information and the effectiveness of our diet and the results of our catalyst food avoidance program. What this program does for you will please you beyond anything else you have tried or we will happily return your money and we have no conditions or delays and no fine print. Your digestive disorder is the only thing you have to lose!
Does this diet heal or cure you? Absolutely not!
We believe that the body heals itself once the source of any disease is removed. Remember John the sunburn guy? We are showing you what may be causing the problem and how to end that source of inflammation. According to our research and thousands of satisfied customers, your body will do the rest; in fact it is begging you to allow it to heal. Not an author such as myself nor any doctor can heal anyone of anything. The body heals when the source of a disease is removed.

Avoid those mixes! Believe it or not you can still eat almost every food except the 5 catalyst foods.

Follow the 7-day menu and you are on the program. Note: Since we don't require you to eat special food, you can do this complete program without buying special foods at all.

Is this going to be difficult?
We like to under promise and over deliver so the best answer is yes, changing your diet even in small ways is going to be difficult. You are going to give up 5 foods altogether (most people with digestive disorders eat one or two of them daily) and every meal you eat for the next few weeks will have some slight modification to it to keep it "non-catalyst." You will be annoyed and consider quitting. However, trust us on this one point:

We've heard it a million times;
"Offense may win the game but defense wins the championship."
Its sounds cliché but for the most part this old adage rings true. Just ask the Steelers, Ravens, and Buccaneers, three teams who have won championships in recent years based primarily on a strong defense and a "just don't screw-it-up" offensive mentality. These old smash-mouth teams are solid, albeit a bit boring for viewers with attention deficit disorder, and very hard to assemble.
What's that you say? You don't have a franchise leader on defense, a ton of cap space for defensive free agency acquisitions, and three to four years to build one of these championship teams? No problem. Introducing the high-flyin', ankle-breakin', jump up and 'restle-the-ball-way-from-'ya, possession receiver. The solution to your all of your championship needs.
That's a mouthful. Let's just call them a "money", for short.
The Arizona Cardinals got themselves a big time money named Larry Fitzgerald. It must be nice to be able to just heave the ball down the field while brimming with confidence that your money will adjust his route on the flight of the ball, out jump the defender, wrestle the ball right out of his hands, and gallop in for a score. Imagine what it would be like to be able to run the ball twice for a total of two yards then just fling the ball anywhere in the same zip code as your money and watch with excitement as he bounces off defenders and picks up 18 yards and a first down. Hey, I bet there's a lot teams in the NFL lacking in defensive prowess that would love to have a money of their very own!
We all watched Larry Fitzgerald take matters in to his own hands (pun intended) throughout the playoffs and in doing so give Arizona a berth in the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. There will be another money entering the NFL in a little over 90 day, his name is Michael Crabtree. After watching Fitzgerald this post season half of the franchises in the NFL have got to be drooling over the thought of getting a money of their own and the Seattle Seahawks are sitting pretty to pocket Crabtree, the biggest money in the draft…unless, of course, some other team were to trade up to a spot just above them and pick Seattle's pocket.
I know what many of you are thinking, we want that money too. Believe me my friends, so do I. Unfortunately, no matter how good that money is he can do nothing for us when our quarterback is scrambling for his life in the back field or when our offense is sitting stagnant on the sideline while our defense lets the opposing teams mediocre running game grind minute after minute off the clock as they unabatedly score. There is good news; somewhere in the NFL there is a general manager who is jonesing to go Mike-Ditka for Crabtree. Scott Pioli just needs to find out who that is and help him get his fix…for a small price, of course.

NEWCOMB, N.Y. (AP) - The Essex Chain of lakes near Newcomb in the central Adirondacks is now open to the public for the first time in more than 100 years.
The 11,600-acre Essex Chain tract is part of the 69,000 acres of former Finch, Pruyn timberland Gov. Andrew Cuomo agreed in August 2012 to acquire from the Nature Conservancy over the course of five years.
The Department of Environmental Conservation has developed an interim access plan while a formal process is going on to determine whether motorized access will be allowed. For now, no motors are allowed.
It's likely to become a prime paddling destination. Kayakers and canoeists can now carry or cart their boats a quarter-mile from a parking area to the first lake in a chain of seven.

[...] (11/2) Food Trucks Love Local Contest – in honor of National Food Day, Louisville Metro is hosting a Local Food Day this Friday [...]
Did you know that this Friday is something called "National Food Day?" Me either. But it is and our city is going to improve upon the concept with "Local Food Day." This Friday November 2 at lunchtime some of our best local food trucks are going to be posted up at the corner of Sixth and Jefferson. You know whatever they'll be serving is going to be delicious but since this is "Local Food Day" they'll be rising to the challenge of the "Food Trucks Love Local" contest. What's that you ask? Here you go:
All licensed food trucks are invited to participate in the celebration, both by vending through the event and in a "Food Trucks Love Local" contest. A grand prize will be awarded in two categories – main dish and other (think sides, desserts, etc.) – and trucks can enter in one or both categories. The prize in each category will be 10 days of reserved parking at a parking meter of your choosing! To enter the contest, each truck will be required to prepare one menu item, main or other, that includes a local food component. All entries will be judged by Mayor Greg Fischer and another local celebrity on the day of the event. The winners may select which 10 days to reserve the meter and the days do not need to run consecutively.
10 days of free parking is a serious prize so you know all the trucks will be bringing their A-game (is that how you write that out?).
I've got to say I think Grind Gourmet Burger truck (who let me use the above photo of one of their burgers) may be the odds on favorite in this competition. They've been committed to using local ingredients since their debut. Maybe they'll do a veggie burger made entirely of local ingredients and topped with locally made goat cheese. Mmmmm, a girl can dream.
Friday November 2, 2012

URIKA original plastic boxes from the 70ies
The URIKA original box is used for the Gents and Ladies
Some collectors really appreciate the original packaging. Something I have learned from fellow collectors only a few years after I had started collecting. These plastic boxes look very good despite their age. Obviously a much better packaging material then some of my Omega, Jaeger-LeCoultre and IWC boxes. Especially those white ones from the late 80ies and 90ies. Also some of my Rolex and Tudor boxes did not like the tropical climate. I had to dispose of quite a few of those because the material deteriorated and became sticky. There was really no pint in keeping them.
I have not even tried to get new boxes from the manufacturer. Maybe something I need to do in the future. Bucherer for example replaces boxes that turned ugly without hesitation. These packaging problems of some of the luxury brands are reflected in the high prices of online auctions for original boxes.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
VH-1 is one of the best routes on Square Inch Wall, if not at the entire crag. Climb the beautiful hand crack to a ledge at a horizontal break (crux). Look for some good stopper placements along the way. At the break, step two feet to the right and continue up a second crack. Follow cracks left of the prominent roof to the top. Once above the level of the roof the climbing eases significantly.
Located just left of Cooler Sacrifice. Look for a hand crack the ends at a horizontal break about 20 feet up, and then continues up two feet to the right.

The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day knows only that it needs, Commander. But, like so many of us, it does not know what.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
Today we get to see the Shatner with Star Trek: The Motion Picture director Robert Wise on the bridge of the Enterprise. We live in a time where most filmmakers do one thing and do it well, but look at Robert Wise's filmography. He has directed classics in almost all genres. The Haunting in horror, The Day the Earth Stood Still in sci-fi, West Side Story and Sound of Music in musicals, Somebody Up There Likes Me in drama… the man moved from genre to genre effortlessly. It's pretty remarkable.
So, here's Shatner and Wise talking during the filming of the very first Star Trek film. Enjoy and click to enlargen!
If you have a behind the scenes shot you'd like to submit to this column, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tomorrow's Behind the Scenes pic features one of the most successful reboots in modern filmmaking history.

Yeah, I think the first movie is quite brilliant. Not perfect, but ambitious, for the time. Beutiful to look at, and underrated. 1-3 are my favorites. They fit together like a hand and glove.

I love star trek the motion picture
by robamenta
its the only real star trek movie..the rest are all film adaptations of a tv show its filled with the best trek moments of all time...opening klingon battle, the shuttle fly over the enterprise...spock zipping through vger..and one of the most beautiful scores of all time. i know a lot of you hate it...but I find it genuinely thought provoking and i love the parallel stories of both spock and vger looking for meaning in thier lives. im sad we will never get another intelligent star trek film again..maybe a new series will rectify that at least on tv...and jj abrams, does not have a clue was trek is
Jan. 21, 2012, 9:36 p.m. CST
Paced and thoughtful. A greatly under rated film.
by Yamato
I love the "23rd century is a whole different culture" aspect. The costume, especially of the citizens at the transport port in SF is great. Sexual, part of a society very different from ours.

I saw it theatrically when I was 11 or 12
by proevad
I hadn't yet seen 2001 yet, so this was my first experience with a film clearly influenced by it. I mean Star Wars was according to Lucas--(but c'mon--they aren't really anything alike) Anyway. I really liked it. My Dad thought it sucked--but he liked Chuck Norris movies so he doesn't count. Can't say if it holds up. Think it's been 15 years since the last time I watched it on cable.

Wow, those TMP costumes...
by AbramsPRIME
Look WAY more dated than the original 60's outfits (remarkably well updated in JJ Trek). Say what you will about that first ST movie ("Kubrik-esque" brilliance or "the motionless picture"), those outfits HAVE NOT aged well.

I can still watch this film
by AntiBeru
Saw it in '79... Fell asleep. 8 years old. But it now remains my favorite of the Original Films. So much to soak in with every scene - thanks Robert Wise! And a brilliant score.

Star Trek TMP, we should just worship it.
by Dark Doom
It is the monolith that rebirthed a franchise. Gene never said 'fuck you' to his fans. He might have been out of his mind..literally, but he gets some cred here. IIRC Asimov was writing the story, then it changed. But all in all TMP was a hot mess..I loved it..Stood in line at Essex Green Theatre in West Orange NJ for the opening day and got my Star Trek Pin from the goody bag!! cool..
Jan. 21, 2012, 10:01 p.m. CST
I love/loved this Movie
by LargoJr
It was the ONLY film that matched what Gene was trying to tell. "The Human Adventure", not some fucking uber-action sci shoot em up extravaganza. Yeah.. I loved ST2, but TMP is still hands down my favorite. The idea of bringing everyone back together, not just literally for the film, but in the story in character as well... each individual having to overcome the fact that their lives have all taken them in different directions.. It just worked for me. Anyone who calls it slow, boring, or badly paced seriously needs to go fuck themselves.
Jan. 21, 2012, 10:14 p.m. CST
Nice to see the love here
by VoiceOfSaruman
Felt overlong and repetitive when I was a little boy, but I suppose I was the wrong age/audience. Got the Director's Cut and it's probably my favorite Trek film now. II and IV are fun but feel too campy compared to this one at times.

Shatner in the best shape of his life
by Nem_Wan
Ten years older than he was in the TV series, and weight could be a problem back then. So just look at him here. The 70s were the worst period of his career, so Shatner hit the gym and took this giant-budget movie very seriously as the comeback opportunity it represented.
Jan. 21, 2012, 10:49 p.m. CST
Phantom--ya know I think I'll do that tomorrow night

I've seen it only three times--might give ST V a whirl too. Only saw it once (maybe it's not as bad as I remember lol)

I love it how the those that consider ST:TMP "true" Star Trek go out of their way to bash JJ's Star Trek
by slder78
As though anyone who would dare to like JJ's version is some sort of lowest common denominator frat boy deserving to be looked down on in contempt. Kinda flies against the whole concept of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations no? Or acceptance of different opinions?

Best Star Trek drinking game ever.
by Iblis_mage
Watch the original long-ass cut of ST:TMP and during that endless shuttlepod tour around the Enterprise, take a shot whenever Wise is clearly just off camera directing Shatner which direction he's supposed to be looking. (You'll need to be good and drunk for the remainder of the film after that sequence.)

Jan. 21, 2012, 11:15 p.m. CST
by slder78
I have watched the deleted scenes. 1) In the alt timeline his dad is killed leaving him with an abusive "father figure". Having him not be punk would be inconsistent with his character arc. 2) You telling me he wasn't a douchbag at all in the prime timeline? He was a deadbeat dad. I don't care if Carol Marcus told him to stay away. He chose a career flying around the stars boning anything with long hair and breasts over being a father. AND he totally cockblocked Decker out of the Captain's chair in TMP. Why? Cause he realized he fucked up and wanted to be on the Enterprise. Kirk was about as self-centered as you can get throughout the whole of the Prime timeline. <p>Can't believe I'm going to quote Joss Whedon cause of how overrated I think he is, but he actually had a point when he said TV is the medium to pose "the question." Film is the medium to give "the answer." And for Star Trek that is appropriate.

by bubcus
... late at night I sit down on the couch and pop this movie in. I love it. It's just this peaceful, reflective film that relaxes me. I admit the costumes do look terrible (ST2 almost didn't happen because of those costumes), but it's still a great film.
Jan. 21, 2012, 11:50 p.m. CST
the thing about star trek the motion picture
by percane
it's a VERY visual movie. it's essentially the star trek version of 2001 a space odyssey. as such it really suffers on the small screen because the story isn't quite good enough. and for over a decade that was really the only way you could see it: pan and scan on a 20"-30" TV (unless you had a TON of money) the advent of big screen tvs and then flat screen tvs really helped this movie, because if you compare it widescreen/hi def to low res/pan and scan, it's almost like 2 different films

nem_wan, yes and when TMP sort of bombed...
by SEVGN
...and that's a debatable word for the first film's box office, but follow me on this. Shatner takes TMP VERY seriously. Gets in great shape, puts time and effort into his character, dusts off the best toupee he has. This is FINALLY his grand return to fame and fortune, a chance to be vindicated for choosing to do Star Trek more than a decade earlier. Do this film and then bigger, better roles in non-trek films will roll in. But then the film is overbudget and underwhelming at the box office. This is NOT the film that will propel Shatner back to Stardom, just back to Star Trek. There's a sequel, but it's for a fraction of the original's budget - not the triumphant return he wanted. He's crushed and is now reflecting on a career on the downward slide. He feels old and outdated. Which is EXACTLY what Admiral Kirk feels at the beginning of TWoK! All Shatner's inner demons are perfectly mirrored by his character in ST II. This is the part of a lifetime for him because it's the perfect intersection of real life and character. All his internal pain and remorse of his life choices can now be vetted through Kirk. When he is sitting in his apartment during his birthday scene, it is Shatner who feels old, outdated and trapped in this film. So it is the failure of the first film that provides Shatner the emotional springboard to give the performance of his life in Star Trek 2. At least, I think.

TMP: The Director's Cut is fantastic
by Jake Pantlin
I really like The Directors Cut. I hope that they can put that out on Blu Ray in the next few years. I always like dthe ship designs; especially the Vulcan Shuttle. There is a Star Trek "fan film" called Yorktown (starring George Takie) that has a different version of that shuttle, which was redesigned by Andrew Probert himself. Looks really cool. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151132125835206&set=o.151211704904054&type=1&theater

@themeofme - I really love the costumes from this movie, and Kirk's futuristiky office.
by Nerfee
The design in TMP gave a sense of the Star Trek world moving-on somewhat. Nice big bridge -USS Voyager's bridge would later recall this design- and a different colour pallet, not so many primary colours telling you what to think. Late seventies, early eighties was a golden age for outfits in sci-fi. A few spring to mind. Buck Rogers' classic white costume and Karen Carlson's leather gear from the ep Planet Of The Slave Girls. The tan outfits from the original BSG. (pre-Mal Reynolds in Firefly) Jenny Agutter and Michael York had some cool outfits in Logan's run, not least Jenny's Infamous Green Handkerchief..

Vulcan Shuttle By MPC

by adulcegrey
The only film of the series that was thought provoking, actually lived up to its premise 'to boldly go where no man has gone before', had Douglas Trumbull and John Dykstra's amazing effects, the best music score. The rest of the series were more 'character based' and dealt with inter-personal conflicts... STTMP dealt more with a real, tangible science fiction premise that none of the other films have dared to touch, most importantly JJ Abram's version, whose story still has me scratching my head.

ST:TMP is chronically underrated.
by Keith Maniac
I think someone mentioned above, the opening shot of the three Klingon cruisers, followed by the tracking shot which rotates 180 degrees over the bridge whilst looking downwards, with that aggressive Goldsmith score, is just amazing. It somehow manages, in a way i cant verbalise, to capture that essence of epicness that films now, on the whole, fall way short of. I enjoyed JJ Trek, i thought it had humour and camaraderie, which are Trek keynotes. They were right to introduce the two fisted, action element, i suppose they feel that the mass audience could'nt tolerate two hours of more, cerebral sci-fi today. I think whats funny about that, is that Hollywood blockbusters, on the whole, are a slave to the trends that they have created, faster storytelling, more and more visual distraction.
Jan. 22, 2012, 3:51 a.m. CST
Nice to finally see some TMP love
by kwisatzhaderach
It's always been my favourite, probably because I was six years old when I was taken to the cinema to see it, and it blew my mind wide open. Amazing cinema experience. Watch this back-to-back with JJ's Trek, one is a cinematic odyssey with great ideas, beautiful score and memorable dialogue., the other is a crass cash-in, written to cater to the lowest common denominator. Watch the extras on the DVD where JJ and co all repeat how they wanted to make Trek "cool". Idiots.

Why does Science Fiction have to have heart and emotion? 2001 didn't have it. Leave the heart and emotion to the chic flicks if it means a more sophisticated story.

If I felt underwhelmed at all, I at least knew the film had to be "successful" if there was to be any more Star Trek. Don't know if I talked myself into enjoying the first movie or actually enjoyed it...it doesn't really matter to me. I'm just glad that I was able to do my small part to make sure, 33 years later, Star Trek is still here with us.

@slder78-- actually, NOT a deadbeat dad
by HarveyManfrenjenson
It's clearly established in TWOK that Kirk did not know he had a son by Carol Marcus. The director Nick Meyer talks about this a bit in "A View from the Bridge". Apparently Kirk *did* know about David in an early draft of the screenplay, but this was changed for precisely the reason you bring up-- it made Kirk seem like too much of a douche.

by UltraTron
where the enterprise started to compare to his work here. You can now argue that the new enterprise is more convincing. But it's still an argument. The way he lit the thing made you feel like it was parked offshore. Gonna watch this one again. Also make sure you peel those stickers off your blu-rays from Netflix. Polish those things up. I noticed the sticker gives you 100% maximum error correction and basically makes blu look worse than my hd cable. Can't believe how shitty it makes blus look. Peel that shit off.

Let's not beat around the bush.
by successor
<p>I find the film boring as all hell. It really is. Just try to stay awake watching it. And I'm not some ADD-afflicted visigoth of the modern era. I've sat through and enjoyed Tarkovsky's Solaris and Stalker, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, etc. I can enjoy long movies so long as it's a good story. But TMP is not a good story.</p> <p>Star Trek V is the worst of the original series movies, but this one comes in a close second. And at least number five is a fascinating train wreck of a film. This one just lies there dead on the screen.</p> <p>Five minute of the Enterprise. Yes, it's the Enterprise. We get it. Thank you. Please move on. Ten more minutes of staring at special effects in the cloud, which is about as exciting as watching tumbleweeds blow across the desert. To call the pace glacial would be a compliment. Flat performances all across the board, except for McCoy. Awful suits and tacky interior design. I'll take the militaristic designs of the later films any day.</p> <p>And let's not forget the film has some big plot holes. Like how Kirk waits for the Enterprise to be repaired. If the situation were that dire, why not take another fucking ship, genius? And Starfleet has only one ship to respond to a major crisis? And if V'ger is so powerful, why can't it wipe the gunk off its own side and know it's Voyager VI? Some really bad writing there.</p> <p>If Star Trek had continued on this path or had Roddenberry gotten his JFK assassination story made, the movie series would've been dead in the water. Thank goodness Meyer and Bennett came along and gave some of the later movies a good shot of drama.</p> <p>As with 1900 and Heaven's Gate, there seems to be a lot of apologia for a film that is stupefyingly dull.</p>

Brilliant smart film, true SciFi, still has best effects ever
by picardsucks
Best effects (though a few shots look dated, all the matte painting shots) of any sci fi film ever Certainly the second best Trek filmn ever and one of the smartest Sci Fi films of all time Not for the short attention span shakey cam, axe body spray dumbshits who need fast smart ass dialogue written by (usually) some nebish wallflower who thinks that is what the cool crowd said in High School and College I wish they would do the Directors Edition on Blu

Robert Wise a racist?
by djangoilbastardo
I don't think a racist" would've made a film like ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW.

Robert Wise also directed "Run Silent, Run Deep", which is a fantastic film...

and curiously enough, is the template for one of the best original Star Trek episodes "The Balance of Terror".

Star Trek The Motion Picture, VHS, DVD now BLU-RAY, this film has been with me for most of my life...
by jim
Such a grand adventure, with all the elements that make a great story, courage, humour, sacrifice, love and loss. There's real meaning in TMP. In fact all of the Trek movies have these elements, which is why I own them all, and always watch them in order (including ST:V which in my opinion is unfairly maligned as a dumb story about the search for God, but instead should be appreciated as a story about friendship)

ST:TMP Defenders are interested (and a bit deluded).
by Sluggolicious
I have nothing much to ad, other than it's funny how film-fanatics (myself included) have this innate need to brand everything we like as 'exceptional' and things we have trouble with as 'crap.' I've seeing a lot of fan-boy comments expressing their imagined nerd-given duty to defend this movie and pretend its length isn't a problem. Well, guess what? Your arbitrary choice to believe in something that isn't real doesn't magically validate your belief. This movie isn't bad, but it isn't great either. While there are some interesting concepts buried in the muck and the F/X are fantastic, it's a little flat (like Return of the Jedi). It's obvious to anyone who's ever seen a movie that the film-makers insisted on shoving the massive FX budget in viewers' faces, even if doing so was actually detrimental to the pacing. This film could easily lose 15 minutes of its ponderous running time and the story would still be in there - just more accessible and compelling. Shots of a ship moving through a cloud are dull and no amount of pretending or whining is going to change that.

I am curious to revisit it again since there is so much love for it. As I recall is was a little slow, but as a film it seemed so much more interesting. I've also heard comparisons that they were trying to do 2001:ASO.

What a question. Of course I've seen TWOK-- it's in my personal top 10. And I think I'm correctly recalling that Kirk never knew about his son (Kirk to Marcus: "Why didn't you tell me?") But... whatever, you've given me a pretext to watch it again.

Those LOOOOOOOOOOONG VFX
by JIMBOCOP
sequences were only delivered a matter of hours before the film was (un)edited and shipped to cinemas. One of the finest examples of setting the release date first and worrying about finishing the damn movie afterwards.

Here we have the video of the latest vignette WWE aired teasing Bray Wyatt's main roster re-debut during last night's (June 10, 2013) episode of Monday Night Raw from Richmond, Virginia. Once again, it's short and sweet, all mysterious and compelling, just like the first two.
Actually, it's probably even better than the rest, as WWE continues to outdo itself with this particular character and the way he's being handled so far with these awesome promo spots.
He's the EATER OF WORLDS and THEY'RE COMING so you need to RUN.
If you still don't know much about Wyatt and his family, you need to let our resident NXT expert, Sean Rueter, educate you by clicking here.
That is all.

The ratings for HBO's highly anticipated "Looking" are in, and it ain't looking good so far. It seems like more people wrote recaps on the series (including us) then actually watched it... at least legally. The series had 338,000 viewers at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday -- which was less than half of what "Girls" managed in the time slot before it. And, hey, I get it: televisions are expensive, and so is HBO. But unless we want "Looking" to go way of "Enlightened," we should start making some collective efforts to resist the torrents. Especially since series tend to always find their true strides beyond season one.
Vanessa Erazo | January 23, 2014 12:10 PM
HBO posted the entire first episode on YouTube!
jake | January 23, 2014 4:41 AM
I'd rather pay HBO to stop making this boring ass, homophobic, hipsters with internalized homophobia, nonsense.
JW | January 22, 2014 11:52 PM
Agreed. Network subscription service independent from cable is a thing that needs to happen. There is no way I'm going to pay a hundred or more dollars a month for a bunch of channels I don't even watch. If Looking actually ends up being a good show with a following, then Netflix or Hulu could buy it and continue with additional seasons (as they have done with several other shows). Unfortunately the pilot episode of Looking was a real snore fest. The characters aren't that memorable. Their issues are not that interesting. And the writing just isn't smart enough to be stimulating. Their ratings don't surprise me at all.
LJ | January 22, 2014 9:10 PM
Most people who have subscriptions to HBO do not illegally download HBO shows. They don't have to because they can watch HBO on demand. If the writer is trying to get folks to subscribe to HBO then I think D.A. GARABEDIAN's comment to this story about HBO offering a cable-less subscription plan is the best solution.
d.a. garabedian | January 22, 2014 8:40 PM
I'd be happy to - as soon as HBO finally severs their ridiculous ties to the cable companies and offers a Netflix-style, cable-less subscription. I don't have cable because of the absurd telecom prices in Canada, therefore I have no means by which to give them my money.
jermjo | January 22, 2014 8:18 PM
no... dammit. i need this show. HBO, and TV its self has become so boring and homophobic in sense, by limiting gay characters story lines.
tc | January 22, 2014 6:28 PM
I have HBO and I loved "Looking". However, I live in Bulgaria... "Looking" will premiere here Spring 2014 according to HBO...

3D Armored Gaming Cases by Calibur11
The company creates these military style heavy masks, called 3D Armored Cases. The company says that these actually increase the airflow to/from your console which protects it, basically the wider ("AT-AT") style feat at the base raise the system up a little to add about 10% better air flow and keep the system from being tipped over. Right now the company is only making cases for Xbox 360 but Calibur11 said they are working on PS3 cases. You'll be able to buy the Base Vault case for $59.99 which includes the headset. Though there will be accessories for the product which will come in six colors. It will be out in March 2011.

Take Slow Food USA's $5 Challenge this Saturday!
Guest post by Sarah L. Stewart (www.sarahlstewart.com)
Home cooking is the original value meal. Long before the dawn of fast food windows with numerical menus, families gathered around tables of from-scratch food not because it was healthiest for their bodies, souls and communities—though it was all of those things—but because eating at home was simply the best, least expensive way to feed a crowd of people. And it still is.
On September 17, Slow Food USA's $5 Challenge aims to reintroduce modern kitchens to the concept of fresh, local food for the masses—challenging home cooks to create such a meal for no more than $5 per serving, less than the cost of most drive-thru "value" meals. Sound difficult? As a dedicated home cook with an eye for frugality, I'd personally find it more difficult to find a recipe in my regular repertoire costing more than $5 per person (see below for a few of my favorite low-cost specialties).
Virtually anything you buy and cook yourself is going to be cheaper than its restaurant equivalent—not to mention better tasting and better for you. As Barbara Kingsolver aptly observes in her food and family memoir Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, "Cooking is the great divide between good eating and bad." But what if you don't know how to cook? First, you've got to want to, and if you're still reading at this point, you're off to a great start. Second, you'll need to master some tricks to make home cooking feasible for your family alongside the rest of life's daily demands. A few to get started:
*Make it easy on yourself. Don't plan a three-course meal you've never before attempted on a weeknight. Use a spare hour or two over the weekend for experimentation and for cooking large batches of food to eat throughout the week. Doing so, you'll learn slow food doesn't have to actually be slow: An hour spent on a pot of homemade chili Sunday afternoon equals two heat-and-go weeknight dinners, faster than you can say, "I'll have a number seven."
*Make friends with your oven. Especially now that the weather is cooling in many parts of the country, the oven is a great way to warm your house with mouth-watering aromas and introduce some sanity into your evenings. It is the ultimate fix-it-and-forget-it tool: Once the food is in the oven, you're free to clean the kitchen, help with homework or even put your feet up with a glass of wine while that magical machine does the rest.
*Make cooking a family affair. Involving kids in shopping and cooking not only spreads the workload around, it also teaches them valuable lessons in the meantime. Together you'll learn what's in season in your area throughout the year, how to select the best produce and meats, and how to turn them into something satisfying on your plate. By making dinner a family project, eating can transform from a mundane necessity into a fun family memory.
Roasted Chicken and Rosemary Potatoes with Kale Chips
This favorite is so simple, you'll almost feel like you're cheating.
Serves: 4
Cost per serving: $4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
1 whole free-range chicken ($12)
1 pound potatoes ($2)
1 bunch kale ($2)
olive oil
garlic powder
rosemary (dried or fresh)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken in a cast iron skillet or roasting pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about one hour, until skin is golden brown and juices run clear yellow when you cut into the thighs.
Cut potatoes into one-inch chunks and coat with two tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and rosemary to taste. Spread in a single layer on a baking pan and slide into the oven after the chicken has been in for about 15 minutes. Stir once during cooking; potatoes should turn crispy and golden brown after about 45 minutes.
Wash kale and cut into about two-inch square pieces. Toss with a few tablespoons olive oil. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste and spread kale in a single layer on a baking sheet. When the chicken and potatoes are finished, turn the oven to broil. Slide the kale a few inches under the broiler, watching closely so it doesn't burn. After two to three minutes, turn kale pieces so the underside is exposed to the heat. Broil another minute or two, and remove from oven when kale chips are crisped and golden brown. (Kale recipe inspired by my friend and the Food Family Farming Foundation's own Sunny Young.)
Note: Save the chicken carcass in the refrigerator or freezer. On a rainy weekend afternoon, plop it into a soup pot with some onion, cover it with water, then simmer on low for two hours. Remove the bones and onion to behold your (free!) broth, perfect for delicious homemade soups.

Hall breaks Gretzky record in Oilers win
EDMONTON - Taylor Hall had a hat trick as the Edmonton Oilers scored early and often to make it three victories in a row for the first time this season, blowing past the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 on Saturday.
Devan Dubnyk made 23 stops for his second shutout of the season and Ladislav Smid also scored for the Oilers (14-13-7), who have gone 6-2-2 in their last 10 games.
Hall's third goal also set an Oiler record as the fastest hat trick to start a game at 7:53, beating a standard of 12:38 set by Wayne Gretzky in 1986.
The Oilers are now in a four-team tie just one point back of eighth-seed St. Louis in the Western Conference playoff race.
The Canucks (19-10-6) meanwhile saw a six-game winning streak come to an end.
Edmonton was unstoppable to begin the game, scoring on their first three shots.
The Oilers got to Cory Schneider very quickly in the contest, scoring just 16 seconds in on the first shot of the game.
Hall was able to come in wide with speed for a breakaway and blasted a shot glove-side over Schneider's shoulder for an early 1-0 Edmonton lead.
The Oilers scored on their second shot as well just over two minutes in as Smid scored a rare goal on a shot from the point to make it 2-0 before many fans had taken their seats. Roberto Luongo came in to replace Schneider, who had allowed just six goals over Vancouver's last six games and had a pair of shutouts in that span.
Luongo didn't fare much better as the Oilers then scored on their third shot of the game 2:43 into the first period. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins fed it through to a hard-charging Hall, who sent his second of the game stick-side past the Canucks backup.
It was the fastest three goals from the start of the game in Edmonton's franchise history, breaking the record of three in 3:25 against Colorado in 1981.
Edmonton was far from done yet, making it 4-0 before eight minutes had elapsed on their fifth shot as Hall earned his third career hat trick, stuffing it between Luongo's legs from the side of the net on the power play.
The Oilers had 11 first-period shots to 10 from the Canucks on Edmonton starter Devan Dubnyk.
Edmonton was coming back for more with eight minutes gone in the second frame but Luongo was able to make a huge glove save on a tip by Lennart Petrell.
There was no scoring in the second period, as Vancouver continued to lead on the shot clock 18-14.
Hall came very close to getting his fourth goal of the game with seven-and-a-half minutes left in the third period but Luongo made a desperate diving save to keep the puck out of the net.
There was no scoring in the third period either, as the Oilers clamped down the lid on defence.
Both teams return to action on Monday as the Oilers play host to the Calgary Flames and the Canucks travel to San Jose to face the Sharks.
Notes: It was the third of five meetings between the two divisional rivals this season, having split the previous two games, each win coming for the road team. Vancouver picked up a 3-2 overtime win in the most recent match-up in February, its fifth victory in the past six games against Edmonton and 14th in the last 19 overall ... Despite struggling to score goals of late, Daniel Sedin still leads the Canucks in goals scored with 10 ... Vancouver forwards Zack Kassian (back) and Dale Weise (shoulder) were both out of the lineup, as was defenceman Keith Ballard (foot) was also absent with a minor foot fracture ... Oilers forward Eric Belanger remained out with a groin injury ... Oilers forward Sam Gagner, who recorded his 250th point on Thursday, played in his 400th career NHL game.

Flowerbed Behind a Surimi Factory

Flowerbed Behind a Surimi Factory
This panorama was taken at the flowerbed behind Yamasa Kamaboko (fish sausage, surimi) factory located in Himeji, Japan.
Surimi is now popular in many countries other than Japan. The first Surimi was invented not in this factory but meat-in-pincers-of-crabs-like Surimi was first manufactured here.
You can see a giant replica of a pincer to the left of red-roofed factory, and a huge alfonsino in the flowerbed.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Russell finished his shower and stepped into Seahawk One's sleeping quarters. As he closed the door, he had the inescapable feeling that he was not alone. His fear was confirmed when he looked upon the bed.
"Hello." He said, surprised, but also excited.
"Hello Russell." Said Dean Winchester, who lay sprawled amongst the sheets, his bare chest rippling with muscle and a plate of nachos on his lap. "I thought you'd never get out of there."
"How did you get in here?"
"I am always here with you." Dean said, and Russell knew that it was true.
"I have a lot of work to do, Dean. The Niners…"
"It's a long way still to go." Dean said. "Whatever happened to us, Russell?"
Russell turned away, tears in his eyes. "That was a long time ago."
Dean stood up, nachos spilling to the floor. "Look at me, Russ."
Russell turned back. "Dean, I don't…"
Dean put a finger to Russell's lips. "Hush, little lamb."
As Russell's smoldering eyes looked into Dean's equally smoldering eyes, they both knew that the time for words was over. They drew nearer to each other, bodies tingling. Their lips were only a hairsbreadth away…
Russell bolted upright in his pilot seat, awakened from his troubling dream. Or was it a portent of things to come?
With that bit of gratuitous fanservice out of the way, Russell set himself to work.
"Carroll, how close are we to Nnifelia?"
"Planet Nnifelia is twenty seven trillion light years away, if my calculations are correct." Carroll, the AI of Seahawk One said. "Of course, ever since we got caught in that proton storm, my calculations have been wildly inaccurate, so don't take that as gospel. We should be there within the hour.
"Good. Give me all the tape of the Niners you can from our last meeting with them."
The Dark Lord McBabypants watched the viewscreen with a manic scowl. This of course was his normal facial expression so it was impossible to tell his true feelings.
"When DangeRuss arrives, you will lead our ships into battle against him. Our masked friend shall kill him while you have him distracted."
"May I ask a question, my lord?" Kaepernick said.
"You may ask."
Why do you insist on referring to our mysterious ally in such cryptic terms? We both know his name is-"
"Silence!" The Dark Lord rose, horrid black eyes shining with fury. "You dare question the will of McBabypants?"
"No, Your Vileness." Kaepernick said hurriedly.
"Perhaps you have forgotten the fate of your predecessor."
Kaep shuddered. He knew all too well what had happened to Smith. It was he who had cut out Smith's kidneys and forced them down his throat, while simultaneously burning him to death in a pit of rabid wolverines crazed with starvation while giving him a deep tissue massage, and all of this to the music of Barry Manilow. It was McBabypants' preferred form of execution. The man loved his Barry Manilow.
"I shall not fail you." Kaepernick said.
"See that you do not. After all, you know I Can't Smile Without You." McBabypants said in a threatening tone. "Now begone. I have plotting to do."
Kaepernick departed hurriedly. As Scowly McBabypants watched the view screen, a smile crept across his face.
"Soon, DangeRuss shall be destroyed, and there will be no one left in all the galaxy to oppose me. And then, the universe shall be mine! Evil laugh!" He roared. "EVIL LAUGH!!!"
"Russell, we are arriving at the Planet Nnifelia." Carroll said.
Russell turned off his Niner film and looked through the cockpit's window. The planet was in full view, and next to it was…
"Whoa." Russell said when he saw the massive Niner station.
"My God." Carroll gasped. "That thing must be a centimeter across!"
There was a pause.
"I told you, my calculations have been off lately." Carroll said.
"Forget about it. Prepare Seahawk One for battle mode."
"You're the one who keeps forgetting to fix my computron matrix."
"It's already done. All combat systems online. You want to fly the ship, or should I get a crack at them for once?"
Russell smiled. "It's time to get DangeRuss." He said.
He hit full throttle and rocketed toward the enemy fleet.
"Russell, I'm reading over a hundred fighters coming toward you."
"So how many of them are there really?"
"No, that calculation was actually correct."
A hundred of the red and gold ships screamed toward Seahawk One, letting loose an arsenal of laser beams, destructo rays, missiles, bombs, comedic flags with the word Bang! painted on them, torpedoes, bullets and sharks.
Russell grinned. He dodged left and right, easily evading the Niner ships. Firing his lasers, he blew up fighter after fighter.
"This is almost too easy." He said.
"Russell, we have a new ship slipping in behind us. It doesn't match any known Niner configuration."
"Is it a friendly?"
Plasma beams lanced across Seahawk One's shields.
"I would say no." Carroll remarked.
"No matter. We'll take it out like the rest."
Russell dove the ship down and entered a barrel roll. Seahawk One streaked across space, left, right, up, sideways, but to no avail. The mysterious ship could not be shaken.
"This guy's a better pilot than the typical Niner." Russell said. The ship shuddered as another plasma blast hit it.
"Shields down." Carroll said. "Another hit and we're done for!"
"Now's not the time to panic." Russell said, but he couldn't help but fear a pang of fear himself. He had never faced a pilot of this skill, at least not since… but no, that was impossible.
He steered right and slammed on the brakes in desperation, hoping the other ship would not anticipate this change of speed and fly past. But the enemy pilot was too crafty, and blasted Seahawk One.
Russell spun out of control. "I can't steer this thing!" He yelled.
"There is a nearby moon we can crash land on." Carroll said. "I'll try to guide the ship as best I can."
"Initiating autopilot." Russell commanded. He hit a button and twelve seatbelts zipped out and restrained him in the pilot's chair.
"I suggest praying to whatever deity you believe in." Carroll said. "This is going to be a rough landing. You won't have time to eject me, so let me take the opportunity to tell you that I shall be very cross when you activate my backup copy. Also, I love you."
From the surface of the moon, you would have been able to see Seahawk One coming down as a streak of white fire racing across the sky. It landed in the thick forest, exploding violently.
Fortunately, Russell was nowhere near the blast. Carroll had ejected his pilot seat and he landed down in the jungle trees, his parachute caught in the branches.
He cut himself loose and landed on the ground with catlike grace.
Before he had a chance to make out his surroundings though, a violent blast destroyed the patch of jungle in front of him. The force of the explosion threw him back, where he landed with considerably less grace than before.
The mysterious ship that had shot him down landed on the smoldering patch of destroyed ground. The door opened and an armored man walked out. His face was obscured by a featureless metal mask.
"Hello, DangeRuss." He said coldly. "Or should I say, Russell? That is your name, is it not?"
Russell gasped. "How do you know who I am?" He said.
"Oh, you don't remember me? Perhaps this will help." And with that, the stranger reached up and pulled off his mask.
"No." Russell said. "It can't be. You're…"
"Dead?" Matt Flynn said, a manic gleam in his eyes. "No, but soon you will be."

Again.....he did NOT tear the tendon. He broke the bone the tendon is attached to. Big difference. A fracture is much easier to recover from.
Hopefully not too soon. If hes fully healthy and ready to play great but if not shelf him for next season. This season might already be in the tank after going 1-3 to start. Teams already gained ground. Im not saying to give up but its gonna be a fight to get back in. Might be best to save him for later in case they do make a come back this season or next season when they really try to make a run. They will need him more in that scenario really. I say rest him up for next year.
True that...SD, @Den and @ATL all are later in the season and the toughest on our sked currently... everything else appears very winnable at the moment. That Thursday night game is ideal for Bowers to take some snaps vs the Vikes.One of the best things about this season is we know we're going to see something different every week from the Bucs... fun to watch for certain - cause you know we're going to compete.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – Mississippians living with diabetes learned better ways to take care of themselves Saturday.
The Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi sponsored its 31st Annual Super Conference at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Jackson.
A featured guest was local Chef Luis Bruno, who put on a cooking demonstration.
Those attending also heard from national and local speakers on the latest patient and healthcare information.
Organizers said the event offers instructions that teach people empowerment and how to live with the disease.
"Part of the thing when you have diabetes is you need to know what to eat, how to eat, when to eat, what to cook and that's probably one of the biggest questions we have when people are diagnosed particularly with type two diabetes. So Luis is gonna teach everybody how to do it today," said Mary Fortune with the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi.
Topics included research updates on type one and type two diabetes, as well as diabetes in children.
