Spanky's owner Lisa West rattled a few chains Friday. Lisa shut down her Slide Road location for good and posted a 'For Sale' sign in front.
"There's a lot of consideration with closing that store because it's our busiest month ever. Every day I've been in there. It's been busy so its hard for me. It has been so alive and going, but at the same time it's a quality of life issue for me," West said. "I'm a single mom raising a three and a five year-olds and I need to focus my time on my family and the University store."
But she says the decision to close the Slide Road location was not all too clear a couple of years ago. "Business slowed down considerably with all the demolition in the area," West said.
Her University restaurant became a prime target for McDougal developers. McDougal C.E.O. Delbert McDougal says he offered West $1.2 million dollars for her restaurant, but she told NewsChannel 11, the store was not for sale. This makes Spanky's on University the only standing original business not bought out by McDougal.
"This is the largest revitalization in the nation. To be able to be here and continue operating and be a part of this as it comes back is exciting for us," said West.
She says business is picking up on University since the opening of several apartments in the Overton area. And because of that, West says she has big plans to make some changes. In the spring, she will expand the balcony so it can seat double the people.

The semi finals of the 2013 lotto plus chutney Soca Monarch have been rescheduled to Friday January 18th at Rienzi Complex in Couva. The organizers say this is due to the denial of a bar licence from the Chaguanas Magistrate Court today for the event which was originally scheduled to take place at the rise car park in Chaguanas. Senior superintendent Deodath Doolalchan says promoters need to work hand in hand with the police to ensure the safety and security of patrons at venues.

AP's Beaumont Gives Away His Viewpoint in Writing About Feingold's 2010 Election Loss
The headline at Thomas Beaumont's Sunday item about the possible significance of the Scott Walker recall election in Wisconsin is "Few November clues to be found in Wisconsin recall."
Maybe, but I have a definite clue as to Beaumont's political proclivities, something which I shouldn't be able to glean from a wire service report, thanks to the paragraph which follows the jump. Let's see if readers can pick up that clue:
But despite a generation-long favor toward Democrats, Wisconsin has become a closely watched battleground. George W. Bush lost the state by less than a percentage point in 2000 and 2004, and in 2010 voters picked Walker as they also booted longtime Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold from office in favor of a political novice backed by the tea party.
So what's the clue?
It is that Mr. Beaumont wouldn't name the person who defeated Feingold. He has a name, Tom. It's Ron Johnson. He's a sitting United States Senator. One of only 100. Shame on you for failing, deliberately or not (my vote is that it was a deliberate omission) to do what should have been obvious.
The following, from an April 1 item by Beaumont, may give us a hint as to why Beaumont felt that it would be a good idea to leave Johnson's name out of his coverage:
"We have a team of stars in Wisconsin the rest of the country is just learning about," said New Berlin Republican activist Pat Reinke, who attended the Romney rally. "Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, they are all gems."
Uh oh. Ron Johnson, like Ryan and Walker, might become a political star.
Excuse me for believing it likely, absent contrary evidence, that Beaumont's reaction since then has been: "We can't have that."

Somebody tell the putz that Feingold still had to face voters.
Submitted by drsamherman on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 12:17am.
Just because he was elected the first time does not mean he was entitled to hold on to the job for the rest of his life. He still had to face voters and he lost the election. Democrats make so much of "let the voters decide" until the voters decide against them, then they reflexively blame everyone else for the voters recognizing their failures. If there is one thing liberals can't stand, it's the "bother" of reelection.

|Message sidedness in advertising: The moderating roles of need for cognition and time pressure in persuasion.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21752025 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Kao, D. T. (2011). Message sidedness in advertising: The moderating roles of need for cognition and time pressure in persuasion. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology 52, 329-340. Persuasion has been extensively researched for decades. Much of this research has focused on different message tactics and their effects on persuasion (e.g., Chang & Chou, 2008; Lafferty, 1999). This research aims to assess whether the persuasion of a specific type of message is influenced by need for cognition (NFC) and time pressure. The 336 undergraduates participated in a 2 (message sidedness: one-sided/two-sided) × 3 (time pressure: low/moderate/high) between-subjects design. Results indicate that two-sided messages tend to elicit more favorable ad attitudes than one-sided messages. As compared with low-NFC individuals, high-NFC individuals are likely to express more favorable ad attitudes, brand attitudes and purchase intention. Moderate time pressure tends to lead to more favorable ad attitudes than low time pressure and high time pressure. In addition, moderate time pressure is likely to elicit more favorable brand attitudes and purchase intentions than high time pressure, but does not elicit more favorable brand attitudes and purchase intentions than low time pressure. Furthermore, when high-NFC individuals are under low or moderate time pressure, two-sided messages are more persuasive than one-sided messages; however, message sidedness does not differentially affect the persuasion when high-NFC individuals are pressed for time. In contrast, one-sided messages are more persuasive than two-sided messages when low-NFC individuals are under low or high time pressure, and two-sided messages are more persuasive than one-sided messages when low-NFC individuals are under moderate time pressure.

January 2014 was remarkably mild across nearly all of Alaska, resulting in this January ranking among the "top ten" warmest on record for many Alaskan communities according to preliminary analyses.
October in Alaska this year was more like September, with warmth and rain in place of autumn chill and snow. Wind anomalies related to unusual pressure patterns conspired to bring a steady stream of warm, wet air from southerly latitudes into Alaska.
For much of Alaska, lack of snow, soaking rains, and record-warmth have made October feel more like September.
A heat wave struck the Midwest in late August and early September 2013. This map shows the hottest temperatures in the United States between August 1 and September 8, 2013, based on data from NOAA's Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis.
On July 30, 2013, a weather station on the southwest coast of Greenland preliminarily set a new record high temperature for the country, but whether it will stand as an "official" record after scientists apply quality control procedures isn't yet known. What is known? Greenland's getting warmer.
In late July and early August, unusually high temperatures dominated Europe, from the Mediterranean Sea northward to Scandinavia and the British Isles.This map shows temperature between July 16 and August 11, 2013, compared to the 1981-2010 average for the same time of year.

Boorman, Gleeson reveal project plans
Updated: 21 December 2012 08:03
Director John Boorman and actor Brendan Gleeson will reunite for the final instalment of their RTÉ Radio 1 play and spoke about plans for their respective film projects.
Director John Boorman and actor Brendan Gleeson will reunite for the final instalment of their RTÉ Radio 1 play and spoke about plans for their respective film projects.
Gleeson starred in Boorman's The General and The Tiger's Tale and will appear in After Life, the final instalment of Boorman's trilogy about Modern Ireland.
Boorman has reportedly been working on a CG animated retelling of the Wizard of Oz and speaking to RTÉ TEN, the 79-year-old said: "They're still trying to get the money together to do it.
"I've written it and it's all done and we've done all the story boards so it's half made, all it needs is an injection of money."
While promoting the Radio 1 play, Gleeson also spoke about his on-going film project, an adaptation of Flann O'Brian's At Swim-Two-Birds: "We're just trying to get everything in place, it's getting a bit dull now in terms of the wait, [we're] kind of primed and ready to go as soon as we can get everything together.
"It's always very close and everybody wants to stay involved so it's just a question of timing now."
Speaking about working with Boorman again, he added: "It's great. John is so special and for the last three Christmases, this is what we had as an early Christmas present so it's fantastic to come back in, it's always lovely."
After Life is available to listen to by clicking here and will be on RTÉ Radio One on Sunday December 23 http://www.rte.ie/drama/radio/genres-comedy-afterlife.html

This article is about giving importance to the internal beauty and improving our real talent and skills
Internal and External Beauty
some people are beauty conscious and always gives importance to the external beauty and spend a lot of money for their beauty needs. This kind of people are interested in artificial beauty and forget about their natural beauty. They are ready to spend a lot of money for plastic surgery, to correct their nose, eye brows, hair, lips and other things and spend a lot for this issue. They forget about their real natural beauty and spend money lavishly for artificial beauty.
We all have beauty naturally. Each and every one is unique and having unique beauty with their external as well as internal. Also we have unique skills and talents which gives more beauty to us. Don't give a lot of importance to your external beauty, it will be fade with your age. Always give importance to the internal beauty and gain knowledge in various manner.
Our internal beauty always remain with us and age don't have the ability to spoil it. It is better to spend money to increase our knowledge in various things and being contented than spending money for our external beauty which don't have more life time. No one have the ability to steal our knowledge and talents from them. Our education and knowledge is the only treasure which don't have any end. If you really want to become beauty. Be creative and spend your time in useful ways to gain knowledge.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Attorney Charlie Peeler spent the past two weeks in a jury trial in Florida, fighting on behalf of Thione International, an Atlanta-based supplement company.
Thione filed a lawsuit against Advanced Bodycare Solutions, its marketing partner for improperly using trademarks and the likeness of the creator of the products.
A jury agreed with Thiones claims and awarded the company $2.5 Million.
"It makes me feel great, but primarily because Thione and Dr. Hersh, they're the type of clients that make you want to go to law school," said Peeler. "They are wonderful folks and it was just an honor to represent them and to see justice done in their favor."
The suit also alleged that Advanced Bodycare was claiming credit for the products that Thione sold.

I have been optimistic and enthusiastic to the point of being obnoxious to some of my fellow red sox fans.....some might even describe me as a troll. But I just feel so passionate about this. So here it is, one more speech to rally the troops. If we lose tonight, you will never hear me like this again. You have my word.
Anyone ever seen the movie "Angels in the Outfield"? It's the story of boys in Foster care who want desperately to have a home, a real family. JP, one of the boys, often says: "Something good is going to happen, maybe today even, it could happen!"
That's what we need to remember as Sox fans. Something good is going to happen. Maybe today even. It could happen.
When Rudy had his back against the wall, in the last game of his career as time was ticking away, it looked like he would never play. But did he ever give up? No! And he made it! He got to play.
When we were down 3-0 to the Yanks in 2004 with Mariano on the mound, did we give up? NO! And look where it got us.
If at first you don't succeed, dust yourself off and try again. you can dust it off and try again, try again.
Sure, our fall from grace has been epic. But we still have a chance. We aren't done yet. And we won't be. We have what it takes. We can do it!
Tonight, the battleground is in Baltimore. We aren't allowing any soft guys to play or to cheer. If you are a soft guy, you won't be allowed in. Who is with me!!!??
Once we claim a victory there, we move on to our next foe. They will take us lightly, but we will strike with the force of a thousand Vipers. We will bite hard and not let go until our opponent is dead. We will make them quit. We will, like the University of Utah football team in 2008, laugh at all who said that we had no business playing with the big boys. We will step it up. We will play hard always.
We will be victorious.

L.A. Noire Complete Edition Coming Next Month
Posted on Thursday, October 20 @ 08:30:14 Eastern by Anthony Severino
Take Two Interactive and Rockstar Games have announced that a "Complete Edition" of L.A. Noire will be arriving in stores starting on November 15th which includes the full game and any released DLC. Along with the full game, the following DLC packs are also included:
I have to admit, I'm growing tired of this. It's like publishers are actually encouraging gamers to wait for the inevitable "Complete Edition" or "Game of the Year Edition". But who knows, maybe Take Two had to do this to pay off some of Team Bondi's ridiculous debt.
Don't get me wrong, the game is excellent and there's a ton of value in this DLC. If you missed the game the first go-round, then this is worth picking up.

A west suburban woman died Sunday at her Indiana University dorm in downstate Indiana, but the cause remains unclear.
Abigail Bott, 18, of Clarendon Hills was found dead at 2:30 p.m. at her residence in the McNutt Quad on the Bloomington, Ind., campus Sunday, according to officials.
An autopsy Monday morning was "undetermined pending toxicology results," which are expected in 4-6 weeks, according to a statement from Monroe County Coroner Nicole Meyer.
There was no evidence of trauma and foul play is not suspected, Meyer said.

Texas/Big 12 reported to likely be staying together, who would you like to see added as team twelve to Pac10 if it works out like this?
Apparently ESPN is reporting via Orangebloods that Texas is likely to stay in a new ten team Big 10, which would mean everyone else is probably going to stay too. Good news for the Buffs, as this means a much much much easier conference, but its bad for our new conference and for money. I really would love if this is true though, since I would prefer to just be in the current Pac 10 with maybe Utah added to make it an even 12 as we could compete easier, and it would feel a lot more like we were in a new conference than just a combination of the old and new. I'm a bay area native and the Pac 10 has always been my favorite conference, and this news excites me a great deal. Who do you think the Pac 10 should add if it works out like this? Utah/BYU seem likely to me.

Early in the Obama administration there seemed to be a number of indications that Obama would change traditional U.S. policies of unconditional support of Israel and would put real pressure on that country to reach a peace settlement with the Palestinians. Since this promising beginning, however, Obama has been in full retreat from any political confrontation with Israel and its U.S. supporters, Among the signs of that retreat are the following:
*Obama's refusal–in direct contradiction of his repeated campaign rhetoric about the need to engage in diplomacy with one's adversaries–to confront Israel and its U.S. supporters by engaging in negotiations with Hamas.
*The jettisoning of a number of Obama's campaign advisers who were critical of Israeli policy and, in particular, the Chas Freeman affair, in which Obama abandoned Freeman, an outspoken critic of Israel, when his appointment to a high-level intelligence position drew cries of outrage from the usual quarters.
*Obama's gratuitious reassurance of Netanyahu that U.S. diplomatic and military aid to Israel will not be used as leverage to get the Israeli government to agree to end the occupation and allow the creation of a Palestinian state. Obama has even, in effect, abandoned diplomatic pressures on Israel to freeze its settlements in the occupied territories, even as the Netanyahu government thumbs its nose at the administration and actually steps up its new construction on the West Bank and, especially, in what used to be known as Arab East Jerusalem.
These new or expanded East Jerusalem Jewish "neighborhoods" or settlements are, by themselves, deal-killers that make any two-state peace agreement with the Palestinians impossible–as, no doubt, is intended. No Palestinian government, including that of Mahmoud Abbas, will accept an agreement that does not include East Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state.
*Obama's response to the Goldstone Commission report, which blisteringly criticized Israel's behavior in its attack on Gaza a year ago. The administration rejected the report out of hand, without explanation or even an attempt to rebut its factual findings. Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the U.S., could not have been more pleased, saying that the American position "could have been drafted in Tel Aviv, it was so wonderful."
What accounts for the effective collapse of U.S. efforts to bring about a two-state settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? The most obvious explanation is that Obama is giving priority to his ambitious domestic agenda and rightly fears that real pressure on Israel would backfire in Congress, where it is likely that some key members would, in effect, hold their support for Obama's domestic programs hostage to his Israeli policies.
There is, however, another possible explanation, and it may bode even more badly for the chances of an effective U.S. policy: domestic politics aside, Obama and his key advisers may actually believe in much of the discredited Israeli mythology that prevents a peace settlement. That possibility is suggested by a news story in the January 7, 2010 edition of Haaretz, tellingly entitled "U.S. Fed Up With Israel, Palestinians." According to the report, Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, told an Israeli diplomat that the United States is "sick of" both the Israelis and the Palestinians, and warned that if there continued to be no progress in the peace process, "the Obama administration will reduce its involvement in the conflict because… [it] has other matters to deal with."
The administration's main complaint is that both sides have rejected the 2008 two-state peace plan by former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert. More specifically, Emanuel said, Netanyahu "adopted the freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank only after months of U.S. pressure…and by the time he publicly acknowledged the two-state solution….[it was] too late to be effective." As for the Palestinians, Emanuel charged–in the usual dreary and demonstrably wrong cliche–that they "never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
There are several problems with Emanuel's–or Obama's–take on the current deadlock. First, it is bizarre to hold the Palestinian victims of Israeli aggression, occupation, colonization, repression, economic warfare, and unending violence as equally responsible for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Lest it be argued that Israel is merely defending itself against Palestinian violence, in the last few years Israel has been violently crushing even nonviolent Palestinian resistance–beating, tear-gassing, arresting, and occasionally even shooting Palestinian protest marchers (as well as their Israeli supporters) who are trying to stop ongoing Israeli encroachments on Palestinian land.
As for the Olmert "peace plan," there is general agreement among Israeli analysts that in his late 2008 discussions with Abbas, Olmert apppeared to offer something along the lines of the Clinton plan of 2000: a Palestinian state in some 94% of the West Bank'; a territorial swap, with the Palestinians getting roughly an equal amount of land from Israel as Israel would annex in the West Bank; and some form of Islamic control over the Muslim religious sites in East Jerusalem.
On the face of it, this would seem to have been a generous offer, but as with the Israeli government's supposed generous offer in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations of 2000, closer inspection reveals a number of problems. First, Olmert's discussions with Abbas came late in his term in office, after he had lost political support at home and was clearly going to be succeeded by Benjamin Netanyahu. Second, there were no formal minutes of the meetings and Olmert put nothing into writing: thus, as Gershon Baskin has observed, "there were, in fact, not detailed and systematic negotiations." Third (again quoting Baskin), "Aside from not being serious in the means of negotiations, substantively the Olmert proposal included continued Israeli control of Palestine's external borders–which alone [was] a reason for the Palestinians to reject the offer….The Olmert plan also included other non-acceptable substantial concessions on their sovereignty that every liberation movement would reject." Finally, as Abbas told Haaretz, no agreement was reached on the two most important issues, the status of Jerusalem and the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars to their previous homes and villages in Israel. (Avi Issacharoff, "Abbas to Haaretz: Peace Possible in 6 Months if Israel Freezes All Settlements," Dec. 16, 2009)
After some of the details of the Obama-Abbas discussions emerged, the great Haaretz political commentator, Akiva Eldar, wrote that while "Olmert indeed went a long way in reaching out to the Palestinians…the distance wasn't far enough." Some twenty years ago Yasir Arafat and the PLO made their major concessin, Eldar pointed out, when they agreed to limit their quest for a Palestinian state only to the 22% of historic Palestine that was left at the end of Israel's expansion after the 1948 war, or about "half the land the UN partition plan had allcoacted to the Palestinians." ("Talk About 1967 Borders, Not Settlement Blocs," Haaretz, Dec. 21, 2009)
In short, Eldar concluded, there could be no agreement with the Palestinians on any basis than a full return of Israel to the pre-1967 war borders. Far from contemplating any such settlement, even as he was talking to Abbas, Olmert was presiding over the continued expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. And, of course, Olmert's final kiss of death to any "negotiations" with the Palestinians was his launching, in the dying days of his government, of "Operation Cast Lead," last year's devastating attack on Gaza.
As for the Netanyahu government, the problem is not (as Emanuel contended) that it accepted a freeze on Jewish settlements only under U.S. pressure, but rather that it is now perfectly plain that Netanyahu (his ambiguous rhetoric notwithstanding) has not accepted a freeze at all; on the contrary his administration is rapidly expanding Jewish settlement in the occupied territories, especially in East Jerusalem.
Similarly, the problem is not that Netanyahu adopted a two-state settlement "too late to be effective," whatever that is supposed to mean, but rather that Netanyahu has neither the genuine intention nor–almost certainly–the capability of adopting a fair two-state settlement.
In short, the crippling effect of U.S. domestic politics aside, if Emanuel's understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict influences or mirrors that of Obama, the chances for effective leadership in bringing about a viable settlement are nil, or less.

The city of Morro Bay has 2 years to build a new sewage treatment plant, and local authorities are very close to making the WRONG decision -- against the will of local citizens! They want to build their new sewage plant NEAR MORRO ROCK (again!) – one of California's natural wonders and a popular beach and surfing spot. The outdated facility is also near Morro Bay High School and upwind from 3 mobile home parks and 2 hotels. Building on the proposed site will degrade invaluable coastal lands and limit future opportunities to draw more tourism or recreation to the area.
Many sewage treatment facilities in California, if not the world, are outdated and do not conform to standards for discharging partially treated pollutants to our coast and ocean. Morro Bay is one – and the wastewater treatment plant MUST be rebuilt. That has already been mandated by the State and is no longer open to debate!

In 1973, Gehl Company (today Manitou Americas Inc.), a manufacturer of compact earthmoving and material handling equipment, began designing and manufacturing its own line of skid loaders. Four decades later, a complete line of seven radial-lift and three vertical-lift models, including the V400, the world's largest skid loader, are offered under the Gehl brand name. To celebrate 40 years in the skid loader industry, Manitou Americas Inc. is holding a sweepstakes for one custom-painted Gehl R190 skid loader. The skid loader is painted in maize (yellow) and blaze (red), the same color scheme as the first line of Gehl skid loaders in 1973.
"The Gehl throwback R190 skid loader and sweepstakes is a celebration of our forty years in the skid loader business," said Lori Heidecker, Manitou Americas marketing director. "With an industry full of newcomers, we are proud of our four decades of design, manufacture and customer satisfaction."
The Gehl throwback R190 skid loader will be on display at a variety of tradeshows in early 2014, including World of Concrete (Las Vegas, Jan. 21 to 24, 2014); National Farm Machinery Show (Louisville, Ky.; Feb. 12 to 15, 2014) and ConExpo-Con/AGG (Las Vegas, March 4 to 8, 2014).
Sweepstakes entries will be taken from Jan. 2 to June 30, 2014, at all Gehl tradeshows and through an online entry form. The online entry form can be accessed at www.gehl.com/R190-sweepstakes.

This is why I adore my older friends
"I had a dream last night that kind of had you and Harrison in it :-) I don't remember too much about it, but I will tell you what I do remember. I don't know exactly where I was (you know how dreams are) but Harrison was in a sleeping bag. I didn't actually see him, but I knew it was him. A little voice in my head said "Sabrina would want you to bring this to her". There was a tie/rope on the top end of the bag, so I tied it up and started to try and drag him to you - lol. He was struggling some and making noise, so I tried to cover where I thought his mouth was to keep him quiet. Then I thought - "You're gonna be in trouble!!!". But I was so sure you would want me to bring him to you so I tried to drag him some more. Then I woke up :-( So I don't know if I ever made it to you or not."
Lmfao. Dragging him off to give to me. Talk about friends who have got you covered.
again — why don't i just dream of having sex with harrison?
i had a dream last night where the space cadet where i work chose me to be her wedding planner.
she invited me over and she was like "sabrina i think you would be the very person — the perfect ideal of a person, to decorate and host my wedding. i am willing to pay you 500 dollars as a down payment."
i took that money and fucking RAN home to tell my mom "holy crap you have go to plan an entire wedding for me because if it were on to me i'd make it a cookout and like throw bbq sauce on the bride and the groom."
and then i woke up. LMFAO i was like what the FUCK — ME??? an IDEAL for a WEDDING PLANNER? are you fucking kidding me?
my idea of a wedding is getting a marriage license at city hall. wtf.
all i know was i was itching for that 500 bucks as a down payment and whatever thousands she had for me when the wedding really came underway.
i want to sex yo daddy
that's such a nice dream though. LMAO i like how you weren't "Raised" by him but he was your actual father… that's so like indiana jones from crystal skull…like a dead beat dad lmao. of course he didn't know because marion never told him, but whatever — it's still funny.
i never have dreams about harrison and when i do they're so weird… like weird as in he's telling me i can take all these free watermelons from the party and i'm all like DUDE I LOVE WATERMELONS OH MY GOD LIKE PULL THE TRUCK 'ROUND BACK…. or ones where he's shoving his hands in my pockets — my side pockets and rubbing my legs and i'm having a panic attack because i keep looking around for calista flockhart . LMAO. i mean that is her man literally so i just feel like she's after me any time he gets close to me in my dreams. … or we're in chicago and we're sleeping on the floor in calista flockhart's parents house which is so strange because i don't know a fucking thing about her family or her in general and it's like they won't let me leave — i don't know how i got there in the first place and yet i have nowhere to go because i don't have my wallet or my license or a car or anything… and so they let me stay over, but her parents are like no you can't sleep with harrison and i'm all like that's weird they're married and they're adults…. like SENIOR CITIZEN adults and then like we're on the floor and i get cold and i try to steal the blanket from harrison but he won't let me have it so i end up under it with him, but it's not like anything happened nor are we FACING each other like our backs are to each other and calista comes down and like trips over my leg and then the blanket flys off and she's all like " :O YOU FUCKING BITCH" and i'm all like OH MY GOD I JUST NEEDED TO GET WARM and harrison is just like slurring his words like in a fucking coma i'm like WAKE UP AND TELL HER THE TRUTH MY GOD.
you would think i would just have sex with him once in my dreams — but no. EVERYTHING ELSE happens.
ok dream time.
last night i had the weirdest dream. i was in my bed — like literally in my bed and like snape? is that his name? who is the character that alan rickman ( god i hope i'm spelling his name correcly) plays in the harry potter movies? anyway, he was there and he sprinkled salt ALL around my bed and he was like "don't move" and i was like oh my god.
so my mom came inside the house and snape ( i hope that's his name) was like she needs to come inside this room and sit on the bed to be protected and i was like oh my god mommy — I'M SCARED.
so my mom was like "wiat let me take my work clothes off" and i was like HURRY the motherfucking fuck up there's like witches or ghosts after us and she was taking so long and then i started to think oh god, from her way from the car inside the house, she must have been attacked and she's really not my mom.
and then i was so afraid for her to come in my room. LMFAO. i was like oh my god, i need more salt but i can't get to the kitchen without running into her.
and then i woke up.
it was insane.
i don't even watch harry potter LMAO. like i saw the second toe last film when it first came out and that was ALL i saw and i don't understand ANYTHING about the movies.
this is too weird. lmfao.
i had the strangest dream like two nights ago
i had a dream that i was watching a preview of this new movie that was yet to be released or even finished being made — and david duchovny was in it and it was like wow — the last time i watched a movie with him from start to finish was literally like five years ago. i haven't even watched the x-files which i LOVE since i was 13 years old —
and in my dream i knew i was watching the preview for it because though david had filmed the begining of it, he wasn't gonna finish filming it because he pulled out of the project and harrison ford was supposed to take his place.
AND THIS ALL MEANS… that i'm WAITING to hear about any news about harrison's new movie "Adaline" that he's supposed to be filming THIS MONTH.
ughghgh. lmfao. it's like it's sad that i'm waiting around on seeing a picture of him on set or landing his plane somewhere to head to filming — that i'm having dreams like this.
i sum it all up to my
i had a dream somewhere between like 8am and 12noon (of course, wacky hours would make a person dream, at least it does me) where i was snuggling — like deep snuggles to the point of like being embedded into something with some dude who was jonathan archer and sam beckett all at the same time so basically… let's just say it was scotty-motherfucking-bakula and he just made my fucking slumber quite pleasant.
quite pleasant.
he wants ME. be jealous. :p
harrison needs to stop coming to me in my sleep as colonel graff. honest to goodness, i can't deal with it. he was all "blue-jumper" in my dream last night and he was so mean to me AGAIN.
i think he wants to have sex with me. the colonel. i mean what else?
he's angry because he's sexually frustrated.
… so apparently i did sign up for battle school at some point in my life, cuz…
I had the weirdest dream last night. I had a dream that two of my old buddies and I skipped out on a fire drill and while it was going on where we worked we were out back just taking naps and shit. Well when it was all over we were walking down the hall and we had told the security guard who was with us that we got away with it. Well we really didn't because we were caught by other employees but it felt like when I did something bad in school with my friends and we ended up getting caught—so we told the woman that we were held up doing something and she insisted that we stole items they needed for the fire drill and we were like no these were ours. So she went to go ask the security guard and were like shit we are tucked but HD did end up covering for us. thing is he caught up later and he told us that he saved our asses by saying we were helping him with an emergency but that owed him.
We were just asking for trouble tho because we waited until they shut the building down and now the school and casino yes both looked like a fucking shopping mall—and we stole. We stole we also crawled on walls and we were all dressed in black and we had fighting Daniel Craig stealing with us! I was like god when is the one with the black mask over his face because his ass is nearly perfect.
What's we steal? Like cheap shit! I remember I stole a necklace that was like some shit you can buy at target. I stole two magazines because they surprisingly had Cary Grant's sexy self on the cover and I just had to have them. I even stole ice cream and sprinkles…and I was about to steal the Greek yogurts that I'm addicted to when my mother took off her mask and was like no don't take any of those because they're much too popular that it might trip some extra alarm that we don't know about. I was all like whoaaaa my mama is knocking off the place with me? And Daniel Craig is helping us and she hasn't like pinched his ass yet?! I was damn near shocked.
When it was time to split that's when shit was heated like the crawl back to home base. I was sure with all the shit we all were carrying we were gonna get fucking caught.
This time Daniel led the way or should I be calling him Bond at this point? Thing is he had us doing shit I never could imagined doing like drawing into walls that were like literally 2x4. It was like Eugene Victor Tooms in The Xfiles-just squeezing through vents and like air ducts except these were walls. I was thinking the entire time like what about my ass? Its gonna get stuck in here and I'm gonna die.
We all had to do it you know go through the walls because by this time they were on to us. I was left alone with Daniel don't ask me why but I wasn't complaining. I was following him and man that ass….
We got to a point where this bright light nearly blinded me and when I I was freaking out like omg guys were all fucked now Daniel told us we could make it past the lights and we all listened…and we were step free but on hr wah to the exit door we saw our boss and Daniel had disappeared.
She was crying and she wanted to know what was it that he wanted? And that's when we realized that Daniel was our boss too. He was the big boss and that he helped us steal from him because he wanted to prove to this woman that it wasnt about the shit he owned it was about the type of person you were.
So then we were all in dresses and suits which is word because why was I man drsss ? Seriously. And we were all drinking wine outside like fucking rich bitches because Daniel had gotten rid of her and made us all his second in commands. And it was all weird because Richard Gere was there with us and he was sucking some friend of mines face off and like Daniel had another friend and everybody had somebody except me….which is always the case.
I dunno. Weirdness. I dunno what crack I was on last night for this dream to happen.
so i had a dream about leprechauns the other night. i woke up and asked myself 'what do i know that's irish?' and all of sudden harrison's face popped in my head and then i thought of the fugitive with the saint patrick's day parade…
but those two things weren't in my dreams…it was just the leprechauns.
i can't believe i had a two hour dream with this beast and even tho i got close to fucking him, it never happened.
fuck my LIFE like i never ever had before.
Cruise Ship & Cary Grant…er…John Robie…and Audrey Hepburn.
Alright so we were on a cruise ship. Again, I was on a cruise ship with Cary Grant. I don't know what the hell it is about cruise ships, but I blame "An Affair to Remember" because I have never found them to be all that cool and/or dazzling and/or amazing until I saw that movie.
Anyway, so we're on a cruise ship and he's looking A LOT like John Robie (damn those To Catch a Thief gifs I've been making), but he isn't saying very much—actually, he's not saying anything at all as we're sitting on some kind of balcony type of thing eating lunch. I'm not sure what the hell I'm saying to him, but I'm running my mouth non-stop and he's just sitting there being all perfect and patient and fucking ASDFGHJKL.
Soon he started to get all weird on me tho. He kept looking past me and over my shoulders, and ducking a little lower to the table. That's when I started to get a little worried that somebody was going to like shoot me in the back of the head LMAO or something insanely action-pack (and tragic) like that. Anyway, he finally got up and he muttered something to me, but I had NO idea what he said. He made his way to the back table—the last one on the balcony and that's when I realized that nobody else was dining…which was a little strange, but it's whatever at this point.
So he grabbed the bread basket and the bottle of wine from it—and this man jumped off the balcony. LMAO. Not a flying leap—but I swear it looked something like that. He landed on the next level of the cruise ship (don't ask me how big it was, but this shit was MASSIVE).
Now here's where video games come in. There's like two or three levels in "Uncharted 3" where Nathan Drake is in an abandoned shipyard and he's got to get through all all the bad guys and then he's inside a ship at one point and he has to find him way out AFTER it tips over on its side. It was a fucking nightmare to get through (I couldn't get past it for like TWO WEEKS!) Anyway, that's what it looked like in my dream, but the ship wasn't wrecked or anything and we were actually sailing somewhere (don't ask me where).
So at this point I'm literally like "NO! DON'T LEAVE!" LMAO—like screaming to him, and of course he's still on the move, but then he said something to me like 'come on down' and I'm like "I can't! I'm afraid!" I mean I'm not going to JUMP off the level of a cruise ship with the impression I'm gonna LAND safely at the bottom. Not only that, but there were also pools on the level he jumped down to (see? again—An Affair To Remember on the brain).
So finally I figured you know what? This mofo done left my ass. I was just telling myself in my dream "they always seem to run away" and as I was frowning about it, suddenly I was "watching" everything on a TV Screen and suddenly it all became a movie. This is the SECOND time one of my Cary dreams have turned into movies. Anyway—he finally came through the window in what was supposed to be my room, but when he muttered something to the woman and he leaned in to kiss her,it wasn't me—it was Audrey Hepburn.
That is all. LMAO. I woke up like OMG! Cary and Audrey did another movie together that NOBODY, but ME knows about!… no. LMAO. Clearly that isn't the case, but I swear my last dream I had with Cary he was with Ingrid Bergman in a submarine (wel that's close to a cruises hip) and they've never done a movie with one of those—but I woke up saying "omg, I totally am getting to watch something NOBODY else knows about." Ahaha—LOSER.
Sigh. I don't think I'll ever get to kiss Cary or one of his characters in my dreams…somewhere in my mind and heart I probably prevent myself because I'm madly in love with Harrison and like all his characters. :p
uh…. weirdness
i had the weirdest dream. i was in a log cabin with people i didn't know and the Indians were after us…. and then they shot an arrow through the glass and i was all like oh shit son!
then somebody gave me a shot gun that had a timer on it and then when we heard the knock on the door i said for everybody to start crawling around army style, but who came through was the sheriff and his deputy and whoever else, so i had to hide the gun in the cabinet, but the timer wouldn't turn off so i had to give it to some like 90 year old lady (she's the one who set the timer and the shotgun in the first place LMAO because hell if i know how to handle one of those things) and she turned the timer off…
…i dunno why a shotgun would have a timer…
i don't know why this dream happened tho.
The Night I Dreamt of Dr. Barnaby Fulton
I was in school, it was like a high school, yet it was like a college too. I dunno, it was probably college, but anyway, I was going down a hallway that didn't have ANY of my classes—ANY, and why? Because I was on the fucking prowl for Dr. Fulton. LMAO. Don't ask me why he was a teacher or a professor—he's not one in Monkey Business.
Anyway, I knew that he had a classroom in that hallway so I was bound to see him. At least that's what I was telling myself.
Well I ran into Malia and she was very stylish—she was like a 1950s female student with like books in her hand an skirt…and a fucking poodle skirt—and she had a cardigan on.. LMFAO—FIGURES, anyway, I didn't have any books in my hand—I don't even think I had a backpack on and i SERIOUSLY didn't have a purse. I wasn't even dressed like anything from the 1950s—I was very modern with jeans on a t-shirt—and sneakers, lmao.
Anyway she was so loud when she asked me, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN THIS HALLWAY?" an I told told her, "Oh nothing, I just have some time to kill" and then she was like "OH MY GOD. yOU CAME HERE TO SEE DR. FULTON!" and I was like like "OH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP BEFORE SOMEBODY HEARS YOU!" —lmfao, i nearly punched her in the throat. She kept blabbing her mouth and I kept getting more and more nervous. Finally, I was like dude, shut your fucking trap SERIOUSLY—anyway, we kept walking and so many students were running around and I was like I'm never going to see him. Well—I DID see him and he was doing something silly with another teacher (or professor) there, and he had on this funny looking jacket—it almost looked like a woman's coat, and it was in some kind of like darkened or muted light pink color—and he was laughing—and I was just STARING my fucking ass off at him.
He kind of looked like this…except with different clothes and a coat pinkish coat on (still dunno where that came from or why… lmfao)—and without the phone:
But then he looked and she saw me and my eyes got so HUGe and I turned around so fast—and Malia was like "what's the matter?" and I was like "Ohhh, nothing, but I should get to class" and she's like "what's the point of you hurrying now? you'll never make it on time—you're on the total opposite end of the building" and I then she noticed how out of breath I was and he said "OH MY GOD, YOU SAW DR. FULTON. DIDN'T YOU?!" and I was like "FUCK YOU DUDE—NO." So she turned around and she said "oh my god, there he is!" and she looked behind her at, at me and she's like walk this way with me and you get to see him closer" but I started jogging the OPPOSITE way. LMFAO—and then finally she hurt her mouth and she disappeared in her classroom, and I swear her teacher's last name was "Peck".
By now the hallway is getting empty, and I finally noticed the time and i'm already like 10 minutes late for class—so i'm fucked and I'm still in the same hallway because it's like a 20 miles long.
Welll I figured why even bother? I started walking in the direction of Dr. Fulton's classroom—I figured that now that nobody was in the hallway and MALIA wasn't being so damn loud, I could at least pass by and catch a glimpse of him doing whatever—really, I didn't care at that point. LMAO. Anyway, I go to the classroom where I saw him standing with the coat on, but he wasn't in there and the name on the door wasn't even his name. So I kept going down the hall—and I was looking in every classroom as I walked by, and he wasn't in there—and his name wasn't on any of the doors. Now I figured I was just dreaming, but then I remembered Malia and how she nearly told my BIG SECRET to the fucking WORLD—and I'm like no, he was REALLY there—even she saw him.
It was then that I remembered that my music class was meeting in the school's arena (and it sounds more like a college—and one with more of an art/music background)—so I figured by that time I got there, they'd be arriving and I could bullshit to the teacher that I thought we were to report there instead of the classroom.
Well I met up with them alright, but then some girl from my class said that I wasn't allowed to eat inside the arena and for some reason I had an oatmeal cookie in my pocket—that I was breaking off piece by piece and eating as I was trying to find Dr. Fulton. LMAO—apparently I needed FUEL to keep going. So I was finding the piece in my mouth hard to swallow, so I noticed a water fountain and I went over to it.
It was there I started to notice that the guy leading the class wasn't even our teacher, but some elderly like 90 year old guy and I started to wonder what happened to our teacher. Well that girl came over to me and she was all perfect and shit—I mean books properly in her hands and a poodle skirt and her hair tied back with a ribbon and blah blah blah bLAAAHAHHH lmfao. I wanted to fucking SMASH her face in. So she's standing next to me and she's telling me to hurry up because we were going to have to get in our positions on stage because our teacher had to leave suddenly and that Dr. Fulton was gong to instruct us.
OMG I nearly died. LMFAO. I told her "Fuck. I don't feel so good. I can't go in there" and she's like "You were just eating a cookie. What do you mean you don't feel good?" and I started to hear male footsteps in dress shoes coming down the hallway and I was like "Oh my god, I need to leave NOW!!! COME WITH ME!!!" So she's like "well i can't leave because I'm the lead on the piano" and I'm like this fucking bitch—LMAO, her and her fucking piano!
So I took off—and I ended up in a teacher's tiny lounge room—it looked more like a walk-in closet more than anything else. WEll Malia was there with some male student—reading from some papers.
So of course they stopped reading and they were like WTF? and Malia was all like "aren't you supposed to be rehearsing in the Arena?" and as soon as she asked that, we heard my name over the loud speaker—and her eyes grew as big as dinner plates and she was like "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!?!?!"" LMFAO.
I told her I did nothing and to continue reading and they both looked at me for a few minutes—but then they got back to reading and I realized then that they were practicing for a play. Well about a 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door and was like OMG—it's for me. Well it WAS for me. Dr. Fulton opened the door and foe whatever reason he had on a cardigan and no glasses and I was like …. I am going to DIE right now.
He looked at Malia first because she was wicked close to the male student and suddenly then even the male student looked like he was from the 1950s—LMAO—everyone looked that way EXCEPT ME.
So Dr. Fulton asked "Why are you in here?" to them, but more to her and she was all nervous and she said, that they were rehearsing for a play and he asked, "Aren't you in Mr. Peck's class?" and she said "Yes" and he said "Shouldn't you be in that class right now?" and she said "Yes" and he then said "Well let's pretend I didn't find you both for a couple of minutes more—finish the scene."
At this point I was near death. LMFAO. I was thinking that there was no way for me to leave—at least being unnoticed, so I just sat there as still as I could hoping that when they went back to class he'd FORGET I was in there since he hadn't even addressed me since coming in.
In my mind at that point as wall I kept thinking how Dr. Fulton looked like Cary Grant in "People Will Talk"—and how I had just seen that movie on the big screen and I'm like…isn't it weird that he's supposed to be in the Science field, yet he's conducting an orchestra (or whatever the fuck we were—who the fuck knows)—and then everything around me was like so 1950s. The furniture, the colors—everything—except me. EXCEPT ME. lmfao.
Anyway he clapped when they were finished and he told them to return to their classes. I figured I was invisible at this point so I stood up so lowly to leave and that's when he shut the door behind them.
I literally broke out in a sweat and I started to straighten my spine and my shoulders and let go of the arms of the chair as I used them to push myself out the chair. He put his hands on his waist and je just looked at me for what seemed like ETERNITY—not saying a fucking WORD to me.
I was finally about to nervously say something when eh said "I've ben looking for you" and I was like… oh my god WUT? LMFAO. Like my ears were pounding and he said "You're supposed to be with the rest of your class. What are you doing in here?"
Suddenly he looked more like THIS at this point:
The cardigan wasn't there anymore and his hair wasn't like it normally is (you know, how cary's chair normally is in a bunch of movies), but it was buzzed off just like he got it cut in Monkey Business—but the expression was the same and I was like…. oh my GAWD he's gonna fucking KILL ME by just standing there—he didn't even have the glasses on, but he was TOTALLY going to kill me anyway.
And I just looked at him like a deer caught in headlights—then I woke up…. at 12noon. LMFAO. i must have been REALLY fucking tired running around NONE STOP in my dream that I slept THAT long.
i gotta tell you guys about my creepy nightmare
well what else are nightmares supposed to be?
anyway, my neighbors across the street were like stalking me. the wife started mouthing me off about something, and get this, in my nightmare i was telling my father that i refused to eat at Red Lobster because it was owned by…. wait for it…CATHOLIC GIRLS. LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. anyway, in my nightmare, i was telling him while he worked outside and the neighbor's wife overheard and she was like all up in my face about it and i was like dude i was only kidding and she was like oh i know even though she had this look on her face like she didn't believe me—and then my father disappeared and left me outside with her crazy ass.
then her husband started talking all funny—like a robot and he was like "GET. INSIDE. RIGHT. NOW." to her and she was like "okay honey" and i was like… oh my goooooooodddd these people are SO fucking CRAY-CRAY!!
omg i can't stop laughing as i'm typing this, but seriously. LMFAO—what the hell?
anyway, was too creepy. like they kept popping up in the dark and showing up at my father's house when nobody was home and i was all like OH MY GOD, they're gonna get me!
i haven't SEEN them outside since I had this nightmare—and it's whacked because I've spoke to the husband every so often, but these people lived here since I moved to this town when I was 9 years old—but I've NEVER seen his wife. I've NEVER said high to her—I don't even know what her damn name is. I only know his. The only thing I notice is her legs because she's always outside laying in the sun.
It's insane. They're home ALL the time too…and really—LMFAO, i love Red Lobster—and I'm Catholic. LMFAO so I don't know why I made up such foolishness in my nightmare!

Condition Gray. It sounds harmless enough, but on a Sunday evening in May, 2011 it came to mean so much more to the citizens of Joplin, Missouri. Condition Gray is the alert for severe weather used by St. John's Regional Medical Center which was destroyed along with homes, businesses and lives in one of the deadliest tornadoes in US history.
On May 22nd, 2011, a 3/4 mile wide EF-5 tornado ripped through Joplin with winds estimated at over 200 mph and travelled a distance of 13 miles. An estimated 4,000 homes were destroyed and 500 businesses were affected by the storm.
161 lives were lost on that Sunday evening. We will never forget them. We will never forget May 22nd.

From MLBTraderumors:
Coco Crisp Nearing Agreement With Athletics By Tim Dierkes [December 20 at 12:14am CST]
Coco Crisp is nearing an agreement with the Athletics on a one-year deal in the $5MM range, MLBTR has learned. The deal will include an option for 2011. Crisp had been talking to the Padres as well, and his agent Steve Comte expected a decision before Christmas.
Crisp, 30, tallied only 215 plate appearances with the Royals this year due to shoulder injuries. He had surgery on both shoulders during the summer and plans to be ready for Spring Training.
Given his salary, Crisp figures to be penciled in as the starting center fielder in Oakland. Scott Hairston, Rajai Davis, and Ryan Sweeney would battle for playing time in the other two spots, unless someone is traded.
Huh?? My guess is one of the other OF's is on their way out for a 3B or SS, but at this point who the hell knows.

Sorry for the fanpost but there is no private message option on the board. I am trying to find out what part of New Mexico you are in. I am there monthly and would love to connect with a fellow Net fan. Everyone out there pretty much roots for Dallas or Phx. Are there any sportsbars that have league pass in ABQ? I know Darvin Ham coaches the Dleague team out there. Any other stuff hoops related. Damion James is from NM too i believe.

Stephen Moyer is pictured at right in a production of "Grease", er, an episode of Buffy…wait, "True Blood!" Right! That show on HBO that thinks it discovered vampires! He's in that! Yeah, he also might be Doctor Doom.
Fox, realizing that the two "Fantastic Four" movies sucked and that they murdered the "X-Men" franchise by letting Brett Ratner get anywhere near it, is currently trying to reboot all the Marvel properties it has control over, mostly to spite Disney. And they're doing a terrible job so far, with Adrien Brody as the frontrunner for Reed Richards and now this guy as Doctor Doom.
It's not that I dislike either actor: Moyer has managed to keep his character on "True Blood" mildly interesting even though it's written by Alan Ball, and Adrien Brody is a talented guy. I'm just having a hard time seeing the guy who bangs Sookie on a regular basis (both on-camera and off…bastard) and the dude who ran away from a monkey as Doctor Doom and the accursed Richards. Now, if they switched that up…
