Toronto: Chris has seen Soderbergh's epic two-parter... CHE starring Benicio!
Hey folks, Harry here... Are you not dying of curiosity to see exactly what Soderbergh has done with the story of CHE? Here we have a figure in history that is considered as both Hero & Arch-Villain - all dependent upon perspective. And boy, can the sides argue Che. No matter what he's a fascinating figure in history worthy of an amazing film, and it seems that is what Soderbergh has give us. Here ya go...
Hi. This is my first review for AICN. Living in Toronto, I don't get the opportunities to see movies before they come out. But since I got the chance to here, and strongly felt I needed to share my thoughts about it, I wanted to send you this heartfelt review. Hope you use it. You can credit me as 'CM1986'. Thanks. --- The past two nights, I had the pleasure of being a part of the first North American audience to see Steven Soderbergh's two-part meditation (to be certain, this is NO biopic) on the career of Ernest "Che" Guevera. Introduced both times by the director, producer (Laura Bickford), and star (Benicio Del Toro), 'Che (Parts 1 [The Argentine] & 2 [Guerilla])' is a film(s) certain to divide critics and audiences alike, a sentiment echoed ever since its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. On one hand, many will see this a grand, sweeping achievement of artistic and technical proportions, while on the other, some will see it as an epic, inaccessible failure. You can firmly put me in the camp of the former, as in my humble opinion, the film(s) are a masterpiece of scope and vision. Without going much into plot or the ubiquitous "personal connection" I have to the material, all I will say is that I went through my obligatory Che Guevara phase as a youth around the same time Soderbergh's 'Traffic' (a film I still rank near or at the top of the best films of the 2000s) came out, and ever since then, the notion of Benicio Del Toro inhibiting the role he was born to play has been something of a dream project for me. And, in finally getting the opportunity to see the picture, my expectations were quite high (tempered, though, by the mixed Cannes reaction). However, as I do with most 'auteur projects', I put a lot of stock into how the director himself wanted the audience to view the film. In this case, Soderbergh had previously expressed something like how this was "an unconventional narrative that is not necessarily meant to show you how this man came to be who he is, but rather, who is he is and what is was like to be around such a figure". And, my friends, this is the exact context one needs to keep in mind when watching both parts of 'Che' -- unconventional, and not about how or why, but who. I won't go too much into specific scenes or give any spoilers, but here are some of my thoughts... 'The Argentine' and 'Guerilla' are perfect composites, each entirely different in style and tone from the other. 'The Argentine' boasts a narrative (though not your classic one) with an upwards trajectory. Knowing, how we do, that Che and Castro's Cuban Revolution succeeded, Soderbergh accordingly instills the first film with a running current of strong optimism. The lush, richly colorized, hyper-realist textures of his jungle and Cuban town scenes are reminiscent of 'Apocolypse Now' at its best, only here they provide a much-needed warm sentiment that this is a battle the rebels CAN and WILL win -- as in their sacrifices are not all for nothing. On a side note, the cinematography that conveys this in 'The Argentine' is so breathtaking, that it should be one of the film's few indisputed locks for an Oscar nomination. In 'Guerilla', however, we know this time that his Bolivian mission is doomed, and as a result, there is an ongoing sense of impending doom. The Bolivian jungle is bare and desolate compared to Cuba, the color in the shots are drained, and from these surroundings alone, it is clear from the outset that failure is certain. Whereas the first film was warm and inviting, Soderbergh makes sure that the second one is cold and bleak. The differences are like night and day, and Soderbergh's directorial choices in separating the two parts, not only thematically and narratively, but visually, are key in them working as a whole. While 'The Argentine' chronicles a rise, thanks in large part to Che's revolutionary spirit, 'Guerilla' documents a fall, due to those very same traits. The centerpiece in each film is, of course, Benicio Del Toro's Che. Like the films in general, reaction to his performance has been split, with half of the critics calling it magnificently understated, and the rest calling it downright vacant. Again, I will go with the first group on this. As I'd said earlier, this film is a meditation, not a conventional biopic. Therefore, it isn't filled with your typical set-ups and payoffs, conflicts and resolutions, dramatic monologues, etc. So, Del Toro essentially plays it straight, giving a performance in the same vein as his Oscar-winning turn in 'Traffic'. Great actors show, don't tell, and here, it is all in his eyes, his expressions, his movements, the things he doesn't say, the lack of close-ups, etc. Consequently, one gets the idea they are actually watching Che Guevara, not an actor playing him, which is how I felt throughout such straightforward, overdone attempts as Will Smith's Muhammad Ali, Jamie Foxx's Ray, and Joaquin Phoenix's Johnny Cash. In fact, I put this performance, though entirely different in style, on the same level of overall effectiveness as Denzel Washington's Malcolm X, another instance of where the actor WAS his real-life counterpart, not simply imitating him. This notion is most prevalent in the brilliant, striking black-and-white sequences that are intercut throughout 'The Argentine', with Che speaking in front of the UN. It is here where Del Toro really lets loose in the role, more so than any other part in either picture, as he rips into his fellow delegates for allowing the influence of American Imperialism to corrupt them. Che is at his most confident and outgoing here, and thus so is Del Toro. As with the film's cinematography, I think an acting nomination for Del Toro should be a lock (more likely for 'The Argentine' than 'Guerilla'), though I think it is doubtful he will win -- hey, I can't think of many actors who have taken home even ONE Oscar for a purely foreign-speaking role (as he did in 'Traffic'), let alone two, which would be the case here if he got it for this. Aside from the picture's stellar direction and mesmerizing star performance, 'Che (Parts 1 & 2)' also notably succeed in two key areas: their supporting turns, and their musical scores. In 'The Argentine' especially, Demián Bichir's effort as Fidel Castro is commendable. Though Javier Bardem was initially considered, I think his famous presence would have been a distraction. This Bichir fellow not only looks just like Castro, but he has his mannerisms down to the letter, and he provides a great charismatic foil to Del Toro's subdued Che. Also, in both films, even the somewhat-anonymous rebels and guerillas (Franka Potente of 'Run Lola' run included) are effective. They are given some good dialogue to work with, often humorous at times, which consistently kept the audience laughing late into both heavy efforts. In fact, I found myself actually growing quite attached to some of them, although many will just dismess them as men with beards in green fatigues. Finally, in regards to the music, each film is again differentiated by unique scores, with the first featuring pounding latin drums and an ascending piano pattern, and the second featuring a Spanish guitar and a dissonant electronic reverb (similar to what he used in 'Traffic') -- both themes instrumental in keeping us on the edge of our seats. All of this is not to say the film is not without its fair share of flaws, although I really think it depends on what you are looking for in the picture in the first place that will primarily dictate what those flaws are. Listen, some people are going to flat-out dislike the movie, or be disappointed by it. 'The Argentine' and 'Guerilla' are a difficult combined four-and-a-half hours, no doubt about it. For instance, my girlfriend thought it, and I quote, "sucked" -- "too violent", "too sad", "not enough story". And that is because, straight up, 'Che (Parts 1 & 2)' is a bold, risky take on a subject matter that is not only sensitive to many, but that countless people have high expectations for. So, understandably, perhaps they demand a 'safe' take on it -- not some daring experiment. But I am a filmgoer who has a lot of faith in a proven director's vision, especially one as talented as Steven Soderbergh, and I am also one who gets excited by the prospect of seeing something DIFFERENT on screen. Not necessarily 'different' for the sake of being 'different' (I can't stand to pretentious, post-modern, artsy takes on things), but 'different' as in daring. And what some people will surely deem in the end as 'boring', I am going to go out on a limb and call this film(s) 'different', and in as good a way as possible. This is only one man's opinion, but a viewpoint I am sure will be shared by a lot of you out there once you see it for yourselves. So, in closing, I have to say that, entirely from my own perspective, 'Che (Parts 1 & 2)' is a success, and an accomplishment that Steven Soderbergh and Benicio Del Toro can proudly hang their hats on. Neither 'The Argentine' or 'Guerilla' will break any box-office records, nor sweep the Awards season, but clearly, that is not what the duo was aiming for here. What they were going for was resolute, contemplative, defiant ode to the resolute, contemplative, defiant icon that Che Guevara was. And on those terms, they have succeeded admirably. Hope you all will enjoy this as much as I did. Chris

Viva Revolucion--somewhere else
by King Kull
So we'll all watch this dreck, go out and vote for Obama, and pretty soon the USA will be like Cuba. We'll all be eating octopus, selling our blood on the blackmarket and running scams like Tony Montana in Scarface. Only there'll be no place to float our rubber rafts when it comes time to escape this "socialist paradise." One question: What is it about Hollywood assholes of a certain ilk and their fascination with commie fascists?

Good review, but a question for the reviewer:
by IAmJack'sUserID
How do you feel about Che as a person? As a guerilla? As a political figure? And how do these movies address it's own opinion of the man? If you feel one way, does it attempt to make you feel another way? Does it glorify the man, or villianize him, although I think the latter is more improbable in this regard. Or does it paint an impartial picture and invite you to make your own decision?
Sept. 11, 2008, 10:37 p.m. CST

Thanks for kind words!
by CM1986
To gringostar and MetalMickey -- thanks for the more-than-kind words on the review! To Banzai Rootskibango -- I don't know, obviously the movie tries to show both sides, but I think it is pretty objective for the most part. Sure, it has all the requisite bits on "American imperialism" and its obviously tilted a bit in Che's direction (since he is side we're watching), but the opinion of the opposition is thoroughly included in each. In all, the two films are actually a bit light on political bias, which I'm sure a lot of people might end up complaining about. Just my opinion though.
Sept. 11, 2008, 10:41 p.m. CST
by Banzai Rootskibango
...cool to see you on here dude. I'm actually glad to hear your response on the political ideology side of the project.
 "Pretty objective" sounds good to me...and I don't mind hearing one side as long as they attempt to show you the opposing view as well.
 Nice review guy...can't wait to see it. Cheers.

To IAmJack'sUserID
by CM1986
When I was a kid I loved Che for all the wrong reasons, but now that I'm older and wiser (I hope), I see him for what he was: a rebel -- entirely partisan, stubborn, and ultimately misguided (without Fidel's political savvy) in terms if his notion of revolution, but still, incredibly involving and romantic as a figure. It by NO MEANS glorifies him, but also doesn't outright villainize him. To answer your question, I really think it paints a neutral view, and as you can see, it has been getting a crazy mixed reaction because of it. Really up to you guys to decide. I think I enjoyed the picture most for its artistic and technical achievements, way more so than its thematic ones.
Sept. 11, 2008, 10:45 p.m. CST
Why I loved this movie...
by CM1986
Just to make clear for future posts: no, I don't "idolize" Che, or necessarily agree with the man's political beliefs. If anything, my love for this movie comes from HOW it was made, not necessarily WHAT it was about.
Sept. 11, 2008, 10:50 p.m. CST
Banzai Rootskibango
by CM1986
Thanks for the post. I honestly think anyone here looking for any political ideology will be disappointed. This is really a 'process' picture. It kind of just shows you what happens, not why it happens. People have their opinions, but that is pretty much that, and what happens in the movie is based on how history subsequently worked out. All the best, enjoy the movie when you see it!

CM1986, GREAT review man. so jealous you got to see this.
this line really sums up what we all here at AICN should support:
"But I am a filmgoer who has a lot of faith in a proven director's vision, especially one as talented as Steven Soderbergh, and I am also one who gets excited by the prospect of seeing something DIFFERENT on screen."
we may not have a lot of faith in anything else. but faith in the magic of cinema is why we spend so much time here, instead of reading fucking Entertainment Weekly. we love movies, and we love anyone breaking new ground. I'll bend over backwards to say a good word about a filmmaker doing something innovative, even if it's a partial or virtual failure. and in Soderbergh's case, you don't have to bend at all, just be open to what he's trying to do, since he's one of our generations truly great filmmakers.

Che was a fucking piece of shit
by GilbertRSmith
He looks great on a T-Shirt, I'll give you that, but he was a sadist who wrote and talked at length about the pleasure he derived from making other people suffer. There are so many real heroes out there. Nelson Mandela, Norman Borlaug, whose research has saved an estimated one billion lives, and you are shitting in their cereal to worship fucks like Che and Charles Manson. If you want a brown-skinned militant revolutionary, at least have the human decency to go with Pancho Villa (who was a warmonger, but an actual revolutionary and not a sexual sadist). You can't worship a monster because he looks cool on a t-shirt, you can't base your personal politics on Hot Topic variety fashion. Fuck Che in his commie ass.

Che as a villain
by Toonol
He may be a bad guy; but sometimes good movies can be made about bad people. I'm the last guy to support a commie murderer; but it can still be a fascinating study, watching what makes somebody head down that path. As long as the film doesn't glorify it, that is.

If it doesn't include any of Che's actual murders...
by The Kusabi
...it's not a wholly accurate portrayal and as such is worthless. If Soderburgh was concerned about authenticity he would have shown Che personally executing a 14 year old boy prisoner, before opening fire on the other prisoners who were shocked and angered at what they'd just seen. THAT would be giving you the measure of the man. But I suppose for Soderburgh, the point is hero worship, besides which I bet there'd be riots at the cinema if there was such a scene because that's what Che lovers are like.

by The Eskimo
...but I will be surprised if this is any good. Two things Che did well was to change an ideology and sell a lot of t-shirts. Might as well make an Ain't it Cool movie. This should be a straight biography or nothing at all, cause the actual ramifications of Che's guirilla movement is way skewed in pop culture history. I bet 99% of the people who sport his face on their shirt have no idea what he actually accomplished.

ebonic_plague Olie North did not order, or
by StraightToHell
personally execute man and women because they did not agree with his ideology. Nobody is going to argue that politics is often a dirty and bloody business. But I seriously doub that North, even if he was doing shit that he knew before-hand could result in people being killed, actually took pleasure in it like Che HIMSELF had admitted to in his writings. There is a difference between a soldier and a psychopath. And time and time again, all of the socialist leaders and "revolutionaries" have proven themselves to be nothing more than power hungry monsters. Hitler, Stallin, Mussolini, Chaushesku, Kim Jung, Castro, Chaves, Puttin (who is well on his way to putting Mother Russia back together). Every single one of these monsters spoke of liberating their people, and then ended up dehumanising them and destroying them. And say what you will about North, at least the guy was not interested in getting his fellow countrymen killed and tortured, which Che and all of the others I've mentioned had little problem with. Dictators do not give a shit about their own people, despite of what they say. If they did, they would not impose their dictatorial ways on their own countrymen. And take it from someone who was born and lived in USSR for many years before moving to US. All of the wonder myths about the beauty of socialist healthcare system, equal pay. equal this and equal that, all result in people who have to drink themselves to death (just check the life expectancy statistics in Russia) just to make their life bearable. That being said, I don't believe that you can't make an ieresting, even brilliant films about someone who was a terribly destructive person. Look at Scarface? Granted, Tony Montana only killed rivaled drug dealers, and would have never murdered kids and women, but he was still a killer who was doing illegal shit. Brilliant movie. Same with Raging Bull. The man was an abusive animal in the movie and even worse in real live (he kicked his pregnant wife in the stomach one time until she aborted). Again, a masterpiece. So, you can make a compelling movie about a character who was a monster to others. And with Soderberg at the helm, I can't wait to see it. The guy is nothing if not daring and inventive. Whenever anybody says that the guy has gone mainstream, or doesn't take chances anymore, have you guys seen Bubble?

He's right fucking on about movie magic. I had one of the shittiest days ever, a story of epic sadness and defeat, and Last Crusade is helping me a bit with alleviating that pain. Granted tomorrow I will wake up and the full shitty shittiness of my life will hit me full shitty force, but if I can forget for a night and find myself pulled into a fictional world for a bit, everything is fine.

Great review?
by King_Knut
Where can I find one? This pandering pap wasn't it. "Great actors show, don't tell" - OK, so the actor decides not to follow the script? Knob off. Talking of Benicio "inhibiting" the role: even without the amusing Freudian slip, have you seen footage of Che? By the sounds of his "low-key" performance, Benicio is nothing like him. If you want to watch a seriously good Che film, watch The Motorcycle Diaries.

Re: Straight To Hell
by Srikar
I loved it when you wrote: "Hitler, Stallin, Mussolini, Chaushesku, Kim Jung, Castro, Chaves, Puttin (who is well on his way to putting Mother Russia back together). Every single one of these monsters spoke of liberating their people, and then ended up dehumanizing them and destroying them." The part about liberation rhetoric followed by dehumanizing and destructive actions made me think of George W(e'll be greeted as liberators) Bush. Also, Putin is not rebuilding the USSR. He's resurrecting the Russian Empire with himself as the new Czar. As bad as his domestic political moves have been, it does not justify the US increasing pressure on him via the missile shield on his border and our surrogates in Georgia slaughtering people in South Ossetia.

Harry, you should hire Chris.
by depalma25
What a thoughtful review. Not only was it well written but it was profound and gave me more insight to this film than any other review I've read regarding Che. I love Soderbergh. When I say Bubble I was a film student. People often ask me now if I can whatch a film without thinking about the filmmaking process. Even when I was little I was always trying to find the artifice. Bubble was one of the few movies that transported me completeley into another world. The opening scene in Traffic did the same thing. I don't know if this happened with Sex, Lies and Videotape. I may have been too busy jacking off.

Funny how...
by cowbellfever
there's almost as many people who consider him a villain as much as a hero! You don't see many people selling t-shirts with Stalin's or Hitler's face on them! And am I not right in saying that there's a film based on Herr Bush coming soon??? There'll about as many fans of W. as there are of Che. Personally, as long as a movie is/sounds interesting (to me!), I'll give it a chance (and I doubt I'll feel 'raped' if it turns out to be shit, unlike half the over-critics on this site).

by CM1986
With a name like "Olsen Twins_Fan", I think you kind of disqualify yourself on your own point about "grown-ups". And when if I'm saying I went through a Che phase around the time 'Traffic' came out, as I'd noted, clearly we're talking eight years ago, not "two"...

"and what the fuck does this mean?"
by CM1986
It means that I come from the school of thought that it is technique, not content, that makes a great film. That is why Hitchcock will always be my favorite director: "not what, but how". But as we've seen, Academy and lots of critics often pander towards content. How elle do you explain 'Ordinary People' beating 'Raging Bull', or 'Forrest Gump' topping 'Pulp Fiction'?
Sept. 12, 2008, 6:51 a.m. CST
don´t hurt my feelings, please...
by vrui
Just because I like Ché´s ideas does not mean I liked his methods.Bush is not worse than Stalin,Franco,Pinochet(backed by the US government),etc..,he´s just as bad.Once you cross the line all these FUCKERS have crossed it doesn´t matter how far you are from the line.And yes,of course I think it´s okay for Ché to shoot kids- what stupid fucking people-a lot of kids (unfortunately) have died in history, are dying now, and will continue to die, but like you we´ll just keep in mind the image of the kid that you say he killed.And for all those vrui lovers out there, here´s the latest one to the list of people that should be eaten by a shark without leaving a single particle of life: probably and unfortunately for the world, for history, and for the universe, the next vicepresident of the US, Bitch Sarah Palin, because you will (i hope to Buddah not) fuck up once again and vote this crazy crook from alaska, GOD HELP YOU ALL!!! Who´s next? Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea... when will you all learn over there?

vrui, you scumbag.
by DocPazuzu
You actually think there's no difference between Bush, Hitler and Stalin? Or Mao? Please explain how Bush, who I loathe by the way, is equal to the three biggest mass murderers in history -- Mao, Stalin and Hitler.
 While you're at it, perhaps you can explain why there is no difference between children who are accidentally killed in collateral damage and walking up to a child and shooting him or her to death in cold blood.

Yeah, really good review
by Leopold Scotch
Best I've seen on here in a while. I'm not surprised about all the positive feedback, even though that's so unusual on here.

I fell sorry for Ché: I mean all the poor guy wanted to do was travel around selling his excellent T-shirts, and he ended up tortured for it...

Seriously though, I'd really like to see this. I'll have to look for a UK release date.
Sept. 12, 2008, 9:38 a.m. CST

Nice review.
by R_Sammy
It sounds like CM watches movies the way I do and I am excited to see this. Soderberg is always interesting. I love when he does his own cinematography like on Solaris and Traffic.
If you missed it you should check out K Street. It is a short lived tv show that Soderberg directed that shows an improvised semi-documentary view of D.C. with actors and a fictional story that weaves in an out of the real world politics and politicians. Each episode was made and aired in just a few days and took place the week it aired. Like most of his work there are a few missteps, but its mostly excellent.

by LORDRANDO
overdone, melodrama, one good performance and a lot of cavalier attitudes about the truth of addiction. It tried to tell too many sides of the story, and while I know thats the point its unsuccessful. And his name was ERNESTO, not Ernest goes to Cuba.

I saw part one yesterday... it was BLAH!
by abigblueball
It's totally underwhelming. This film is supposed to be about what it was like to be 'around' Che, you say? Well the camera is hardly even on Che. There's one scene at a NY gathering that is focused on his underling eating grapes. The relationship between Che and Castro felt like two boring dudes who met at a party and non chalantly say 'lets start a revolution'. John Lennon sang it better than this. There's no depth between Che and Castro. I will say the ending battle to take over cuba was well done...but the overall direction made me yearn for what Terence Malick would have done with this material. I have a ticket for part two today, but I have no real desire to go. Anyone want my ticket?

by GilbertRSmith
You know... shit. It kind of irks me when kids idolize Che because like, I know people who are actually from Cuba, who lost family and friends. People who fought and killed Castro's men. It's not like wearing a V for Vendetta shirt. The Cuban Communist revolution isn't fiction, it's not a cool underground rock band you can be in on if you're hip enough. You can't say "The Cuban communist revolution used to be cool, but on their second album, they sold out, bro!". To this day, people are being tortured and murdered in Cuba over political agendas going back to Che.

Well, it is like I was very careful to point out: people will either love it, or they'll hate it. And I don't think anybody would be wrong for feeling either way on the subject.

Che's a youth icon mainly cuz of his "look".
by StanGrossman
Seriously, the last couple of generations awareness of the man comes mainly from the t-shirts. And the t-shirts became popular because the guy was handsome in a dark, Chris Cornell kind of way. If he happened to be ugly, the t-shirts never would've become hip, and most people would've never heard of him (even now, a lot of people wearing the t-shirts know nothing about him beyond his name). You do have to appreciate the irony that a man who loathed American capitalism has a capitalist commodity to thank for his lasting fame.

And people were tortured and killed before Castro as well. There's a reason they were successful. The government put greed for foreign money over the needs of its people. Of course, once in power Castro's Megalomania quickly turned him over to the dark side.

I hate Che, I know history and I am a Liberal.
by Dirk Shocker
So suck on it. You cant stand it when someone comes out and dislikes Che ... Why? You instantly come out saying " pick up a book, don't be ignorant ". You dumb fucks! Why can't a guy like me express my opinion about the man without being judged as ignorant? As a matter of fact, the majority of the Che t-shirt wearing people who I've encountered don't know shit about him. It's just fucking fashion statement for them. Have the fucking balls to tell a man who went through hell to come to the States from Cuba that Che was a just man. He might have started meaning well but the fucking guy became blood thirsty. DON'T FORGET IT.

Isn't Castro more to blame for Cuba than Che? Che was gone pretty early on.

by Dirk Shocker
That's true, but if you hang out with your boys you are like your boys. You know what I mean? Shit would have been the same or maybe even worst if he had stayed. It's a known fact that the man was feared for a reason.

Pittsburgh – PNC Park: Highmark Legacy Sq. – Satchel Paige
Satchel Paige, born Leroy Robert Paige (1906-1982) was arguably the biggest pitcher in Negro League background. He began his specialist profession in 1926 with the Chattanooga White Sox and pitched with the Baltimore Black Sox and Cleveland Cubs. In the 1930′s, he pitched for the Pittsburgh Crawfords, probably the Negro League's biggest dynasty. From there he starred with the Kansas City Monarchs just before generating his main league debut as a 42-calendar year rookie with the Cleveland Indians, winning the Entire world Sequence in 1948. He pitched for the St. Louis Browns right up until age forty seven, representing them in the Major League All-Star Game in 1952 and 1953. Paige was the initial Negro League participant inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971. In 1999, he ranked Amount 19 on The Sporting News' listing of the 100 Greatest Baseball Gamers, and was nominated as a finalist for the Key League Baseball All-Century Team.
Highmark Legacy Square, a long lasting display found within the Left Area Gate Entrance at PNC park, was on June 26, 2006 to honor and reserve the heritage of the Negro Leagues and the fantastic people from the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords. Developed by Ed Steele, owner of ESA Design and designer of the Negro League Museum in Kansas Town, and Rob Ruck, College of Pittsburgh professor and Negro Leagues historian, the exhibit attributes life-dimensions bronze statues, by sculptor John Forsythe, of seven Negro Leagues greats, every single accompanied by an interactive kiosk, and the Highmark Legacy Square Theatre, an indoor twenty five seat motion picture theatre.
The other people honored at Highmark Legacy Sq. are catcher Josh Gibson of the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords, Crawfords/Grays outfielder Awesome Papa Bell, Grays/Crawfords middle fielder-supervisor Oscar Charleston, Grays very first baseman Buck Leonard, Grays/Crawfords infielder Judy Johnson and Grays pitcher Smokey Joe Williams.
PNC Park opened in 2001 as the fifth house of Significant League Baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates, replacing A few Rivers Stadium. Funded in conjunction with Heinz Discipline and the David L. Lawrence Convention Heart, the 6 million park stands alongside the Allegheny River, on the North Shore with a see of Downtown Pittsburgh. PNC Park, designed by HOK Jeu Venue Occasion, part of the HOK Group, was the 1st two-deck stadium created in the United States because 1953. Seating just 38,496–the second littlest ability in baseball, its intimate style places the best seat just 88 ft absent from the subject. Constructed in the fashion of "classic" stadium, PNC Park also presented special functions, these kinds of as the use of limestone in the building's façade, a riverside concourse, steel truss perform, an in depth out-of-town scoreboard, and several regional eateries.

Burlington, Vermont - January 16, 2012
Two Vermont-owned media companies have formed a partnership to share award-winning local content. WCAX-TV has been Vermont's trusted news source for 55 years. Last fall, the South Burlington station began working with the state's largest newsweekly, Burlington-based Seven Days.
Each Wednesday and Friday, Seven Days' reporters and critics appear on WCAX's 5:30 news show, "The :30," to talk with hosts Kristin Carlson and Mike McCune about local news, arts and entertainment. Recent topics have included the Burlington mayor's race, Vermont's growing electronic music scene and Seven Days food critic Alice Levitt's 2011 pick for best new restaurant of the year.
Every Thursday on "The :30," WCAX airs an abbreviated version of the latest episode of "Stuck in Vermont," a web video series hosted by Seven Days multimedia producer Eva Sollberger.
Twice a month, staffers from Kids VT, Seven Days' free monthly parenting publication, appear on the morning news to discuss events and issues of interest to Vermont families.
In exchange, WCAX provides a weather forecast for Seven Days' "Daily 7" email newsletter, which delivers the top seven Vermont stories each weekday afternoon. The station also contributes an extended forecast for Seven Days' "Notes on the Weekend," a Thursday-afternoon email that helps subscribers plan weekend fun.
"We are delighted with this local partnership," said WCAX News Director Anson Tebbetts. "The response already has been outstanding from our audience."
"It's a natural fit," said Seven Days publisher and co-owner Paula Routly. "Seven Days provides in-depth local content, and we're excited to expand our reach. We feel fortunate to work with a locally-owned media company that we trust and respect."
Family-owned WCAX was the first television station to broadcast local programming. Its news team has won multiple New England Emmy and Edward R. Murrow awards. Seven Days, founded in 1995 by Pamela Polston and Paula Routly, has garnered numerous awards from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia and been named the state's best non-daily newspaper by the Vermont Press Association for the past seven years in a row.

Black Betty Track Report
By Nick Licata
Going into the '11 RTTC event, I was optimistic about how well Black Betty would do. Being that it's decked out with Global West suspension components, I left owner Doug Norrdin in charge of setting up and fine-tuning the suspension — a definite luxury most guys don't have. Besides, if I start messing with the rebound and compression knobs, I'd probably just screw everything up.
Road Course
The first competition of the day for my group was the road course. Being that it had rained overnight, the track still had some wet areas, but that didn't hinder us from hitting the course hard. Besides, I was sporting a fresh set of BFGoodrich rubber, so I was confident the section on the course we jokingly referred to as "Splash Mountain" wouldn't be much of an issue. Besides, I've been waiting a year for this event, so a little river running through the track wasn't going to ruin my day.
After a few lead-follow laps with the track operators, I was able to get to know the course fairly well. So I hit the track like a bat out of hell on my first timed runs.
Once I got the tires up to temperature, it was apparent the suspension was dialed in. The car never felt loose, nor did it push on corner entry or exit. It just felt very well balanced.
Having recently upgraded to a Wilwood brake system, this was my first time out on a road course with the new brake setup, so I used the first few laps to get acquainted. I left in the BP-10 brake pads (recommended for street and light track use) for the first session and was impressed with how much abuse they could handle. The course wasn't incredibly fast, but there was one section where I had to really hit the brakes hard, and after a few laps I could tell the pads were getting a little too hot. Fortunately, Wilwood was a major sponsor of the event and had brought along a set of their PolyMatrix H race pads for display, so Wilwood sales and tech consultant Dustin Burr suggested I give them a try for my afternoon session. The nice thing about Wilwood brakes is that changing pads is a very simple process. We borrowed a jack and some tools from our pals over at Chevy High Performance magazine to make the swap, and after quickly bedding in the pads, Dustin got me back in action. The H compound pads are designed for racing and enabled me to brake deeper into the corners.
I got down to a 1:11.8 lap on Sunday, which put me in the top third of the field. I felt pretty good about my times and how well the car performed overall. I have to say, driving on that road course was the most fun I've had in the car to date.
Speed Stop Challenge
The second part of the competition for our group was the Baer Speed Stop Challenge. I took my three runs and just hammered the car out of the gate the best I could while trying to keep tire spin to a minimum. Previous braking numbers showed the car has had a best stopping distance of 105 ft in 60-0–mph testing, so I figured at about 80 mph (my max speed during this part of the competition), I would slam on the brakes just past the 200-foot markers (you have to love ABS).
On the first run, I went too deep and went about 5 feet beyond the stop box. Close, but a DNQ. I was able to stay within the box on the next two runs and ultimately ended up with a best time of 12.576 seconds. Right about then I was wishing I had about 200 more horsepower under the hood. But considering the First Place time was an 11.545 second run, I felt really good about how well the car did.
With 56 cars entered in the autocross, I was able to manage a 15th Place finish. Just like on the road course, I was happy with how well the car did. The suspension was really being taxed, but the car handled great and was very predictable on corner entry and exit. Even when I made a mistake, the car was very forgiving. As of now, it's loaded with a stock rearend and 3.42 gears, so it's a little sluggish out of the hole and tight corners. But as I type this little report, there is a Moser 12-bolt stuffed with 3.73s waiting to be installed. That should make a huge difference.
I had hoped to finish a little better on the road course and autocross, but one thing I didn't count on was how much horsepower the rest of the competitors would be bringing to the table. Compared to many cars in the field, ol' Black Betty was struggling to keep up in the power department. I just need to remember that this '01 Camaro is my daily driver. I use it to pick up my boys from school during the week and beat on it pretty good on weekends. But seriously, this car has really performed far above my expectations. And if Project Orange Krate is ready by this time next year, I'll be armed with well over 600 hp and one pissed off second-gen Camaro.

John List
Starting Fresh?
In the meantime, List had rented a trailer at the foot of the Rockies near Denver, Colorado. He changed his name to Robert P. Clark. Using a fake social security number, he found work as a night-shift cook at a Holiday Inn. He then moved on to another place, The Pinery, and became assistant manager and accountant. By 1975, he felt bold enough to join a church, St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Denver. The following year, he acquired a driver's license and bought a car. He used it to drive old and infirm members of his church to the places they needed to go. He then became part of the church's finance council. As he realized he would not be caught, he grew into his new life.
Soon he fell in love again, with a divorcee named Delores Miller. They met at a singles social. He replaced his standard coat and tie attire with jeans and an open shirt, and even agreed to take square-dancing lessons. He seemed to her such a gentle man. When she asked, he told her his wife had died of cancer. He never showed her a picture. In 1985, Delores and he were married.
Shortly afterward, List was fired from a job for failing to keep up with company changes, and also was asked to leave his post as a Sunday school teacher, because he was too strict and demanding of the students. His attempt to become an independent financial consultant also failed. It seemed that his former life was repeating itself.
He had a difficult time finding work at the age of 55 in a poor economy and Delores began to regret joining her life to his. She grew contemptuous and spoke of leaving him. As List sat alone each day at home after an unsuccessful outing, his neighbor, Wanda Flannery, got to know him pretty well. It would not be long before he regretted allowing her into his life.
A series of bad things happened in the life of List and his second wife: their neighborhood deteriorated and property declined in value. Their dog was beaten to death outside their gate. Something had to change.

The new facility is comprised of two adjacent 2600 sq. ft. exhibition spaces: the University Gallery, the Baron and Ellin Gordon Self-Taught Art Gallery, and an Atrium space. The University Gallery presents a changing exhibition schedule of contemporary art, selected in collaboration with an ODU Art faculty committee. The Baron and Ellin Gordon Self-Taught Art Gallery exhibits selections from the Baron and Ellin Gordon Self-Taught Art Collection, a significant collection of 20th and 21st century American Folk Art. A study area is included in the galleries for examination of the works. The galleries are managed by a half-time Director and a full-time Curator, who oversees 10-12 exhibitions during the calendar year.

What's for Dinner Wednesday :: Cooking Pizza on The Grill
26 Apr
Don't be scared. Sounds difficult right? It isn't. This is one of the easiest things I have ever made. The pizza doesn't fall through the grill. I repeat…the pizza does NOT fall through the grill. Really! I promise!!!
The pizza dough is placed directly on the cooking grate and cooks it like a dream.
The best thing about cooking pizza on a grill is the taste. Don't you just love a smokey flavor? The grill produces a smokey goodness that absorbs adding great flavor to the toppings and crust… and it produces a bubbling cheesy top.
And…it's fun!
The only things needed are:
- pizza crust
- olive oil
- toppings of your choice
I am making today's pizza with leftover grilled chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes and lite shredded cheese. (Since I am using fresh tomatoes, I'm skipping tomato sauce this time but sauce is great on grilled pizza also).
Let's grill some pizza!
First, start out with pizza dough of your choice. I cheat and buy Trader Joe's ready made pizza dough. It is great tasting dough and for $1.29 a bag, I can't resist.
If you have a great pizza dough recipe to share, please let us know!! If one is highly recommended, I might live life on the reckless side and try making my own dough.
Ok, now that you have some sort of dough, roll it out to desired thickness. We like ours thin so that is what I tried to accomplish here — please ignore the wonky shape!
Preheat grill on medium heat.
Lightly brush one side of the pizza dough with olive oil. The side with olive oil will placed directly on the grill. I've never had an issue with the pizza dough sticking but have always use olive oil just to help make sure.
Throw pizza dough directly on hot grill (olive oil side down). Since this pizza dough was rolled thin, the grill grates are visible. They will disappear once the dough starts rising. Close the grill top and let it cook for 2 minutes.
Again, please ignore my wonky shape. It will taste great and that's all that matters, right?
The pizza dough sometimes bubbles up like this. Totally OK. Once the pizza is flipped on the other side and the ingredients are added, the air in the bubble will deflate.
After the 1st side has cooked 2 minutes, reduce grill heat to low and flip pizza dough over to other side.
Here is the only part where FAST action is required. At this point the pizza cooks quick, so it is important to load on the ingredients as fast as possible. I usually have all my ingredients sitting right next to the grill so when it's time to add, I can quickly toss them on.
Once ingredients are loaded, close grill cover. Open grill every 1-2 minutes and check on cooking process.
The toppings and cheese should cook quick. This pizza took less than 4 minutes to cook once all the topping were loaded. All grills are different so, keep a watchful eye on progress.
Since pizza was rectangle shaped, I transported from grill with a cookie sheet.
Slice and serve! :)

Well I've had my last cigarette and hopefully forever. Hoping from support from friends etc, but we will see how it goes, I am determined to stop as my Grandad has recently died and I think every time I have a smoke that I'm doing him wrong. He was a heavy smoker and went cold turkey one day and never touched a smoke to the day he died. Hopefully I can do the same.
Sorry to my friends for this, I will most likely be a moody prick, but love you all <3
Honestly I'm the stoner who never goes to parties and when I do, I'm always the one blazing in a small group at the back
So fucking true

Nah man, more RAM is just to say you have more RAM than others, more RAM doesn't make it quicker, just stops it from slowing down.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A Baltimore man was arrested in Louisville for apparently attempting to use fraudulent prescriptions.
According to Louisville Metro Police, Derrick Bass, 53, travels around the country attempting to get prescription drugs with fake prescriptions and identification.
Police said he was arrested on Thursday after trying to be 'Aiesha West' at the Taylorsville Road Kroger Pharmacy. The pharmacist confirmed through the doctor's office that the prescription was fake.
Bass admitted in a taped statement to presenting a fraudulent prescription to the Kroger Pharmacy.
After Bass was arrested, he was waiting in the holding cell at Metro Corrections waiting to be processed. Officers said when it was his turn, Bass looked at the officer and lowered his hand dropping white powder believed to be cocaine.
Bass is being charged with possession, tampering with physical evidence, unlawful procurement of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a forged instrument.

yet he often wins.
Just a thought.
yet he often wins.
Just a thought.
Aren't there any pictures of the pregnant governor?
Don't VP candidates also release their medical records.
Shouldn't these two things end the rumors?
so people could see how stupid you are.
since the baby tends to have serious health problems, they are treated as high risk births, high infant mortality rates so it would be reckless and uncaring to pull the stunt the "winningest coach" pulled.
BTW, my mom had 14 kids, understands the birthing process quite well. Knows births like the coach one, but thinks that someone giving birth to a down syndrome child like that is trying for a "natural abortion."
I'm just saying the birth is more complicated, so "jumping on a plane" after her water breaks" sounds suspect.
If you are looking for hidden insults, you will find them, real or imagined.
Well, she has more "executive experience" than McSame, does that mean she should be the repug P?
1. He can't do a speech as good as Obama, so why even try.
2. Palin might have to be scrutinized during the week, might be a bad idea.
3. Most of the attacks they were planning were based on Obama's "lack of experience" (see "Not Ready to Lead"). Palin is forcing them to rewrite almost every speech.
4. Really hate the Katrina anniversary (why does God hate repugs?).
my wedding anniversary is 9/11, and on the day it actually happened, we postponed the celebration.
This is one dumb post.
Uh,you do realize that the birth of a down syndrome child is a bit more complicated. Do you know anyone who has given birth to such a child? I do. That story of her's smells to high heaven.
If he would actually ask that, all he would have to say is:
"I don't make rash decisions, I used my judgement to choose someone who unquestionably could step in in the middle of a national emergency (because that is what it is if a pres dies suddenly) and take over."
It is the demonstration of judgment in that pick. Obama showed it, McSame didn't.
It would be sexist to question why he picked a girl, but not to question why he picked this girl.
Ask these two questions:
1. Since Palin has more executive experience than McSame, is she more qualified than him?
8. As compared to other Repug women like Elizabeth Dole and Kay Bailey Hutchison, what exactly makes her more qualified then these two to be POTUS?"
1. Since Palin has more executive experience than McSame, is she therefore more qualified?
2. McSame needs to be asked: "As compared to other Repug women like Elizabeth Dole and Kay Bailey Hutchison, what exactly makes her more qualified then these twp to be POTUS?"
but you are buying a questionable story of alleged abuse (people never lie in custody fights, or are their any legal papers supporting this)?
beating her sister, any real accusations? Or is it claims made in a messy divorce?
Seems highly questionable.

A good start to the season, which is what we all wanted. I've seen alot of good things from the first 2 games, i understand its only 2 games and not against any elite teams, but still its nice to see. i've also seen things that concern me.
SOME OF THE GOOD. The defense looks great, they have bad moments, but for the most part its looks really solid. The effort is there. DG is showing us the defensive side of his game that alot of people foregot about, or wanted back. We showed against the raptors that we can close games. That's really important because its something we couldnt do last year, and its why we lost to the bulls in the playoffs. West has played good. He's not fully gotten back into basketball shape either so he's only going to get better. I remember saying this won't be paul george's break-out year. I mite be wrong. He's playing up to expectations so far
SOME OF THE BAD Our shooting has been terrible. It's not so much that we haven't been getting good looks, mostly they just arent going in. We mite be able to get away with this with bad teams, but we will not beat any of the better teams like the bulls and heat shooting this bad. I'm alittle concerned about Hill and where he fits in. I noticed in the first game they had Stephenson get the minutes at point behind DC. Tonights game hill got all the minutes at pg behind DC. I think hill is more comfortable at the 2. maybe this is Vogel trying to figure out where Hill plays the most productively. Either way he should be involved with alot of pick-n-rolls, He has good decision making skills. His shot hasnt been going in, but not alot of the other Pacers are shooting much better. I think the shooting will come around and they'll start making them.
ALSO I liked what i saw from admundson. rebounds, blocks, and effort. I'm also happy for Rush, who is playing good basketball for the warriors. Trade seemed to work out for both teams.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A Lee County woman's effort to build a special needs playground will become a reality next month. All she needs now is volunteers.
Three months ago, Traci Henry won $50,000 from the Pepsi Refresh Project to build Butterfly Kisses play park. It will be built on county land next to soccer fields on Starksville Road April 30th. Henry hopes volunteers will help with construction and donate the equipment needed to make the project happen.
"It's going to be a lot of labor, but we have a specific list that they gave us, such as shovels, post hole diggers, electric cement mixer, wheel barrels and such, augers," said Henry.
They're also collecting donations to pay for the cost to ship the park's equipment. Construction of the playground is expected to take about 12 hours. Here's a list of equipment needed to build the playground: 90 to 100..80 pound bags of concrete, auger for holes, 12 inch to 16 inch shovels, rakes, wheel barrels, concrete mixing hoe or power concrete mixer, gas or electric, 3/8 inch ratchets & 1/2 inch ratchets, levels, rubber hammers, carpenter hammers to open crates, stakes or something to use for footing layouts. You can make a donate to help with the freight cost on the playgrounds web site at http://www.butterflykissesplaypark.com. You can also reach Traci Henry to volunteer at (229)669-0084.

text: Being a die hard Primus fan since about the time of Pork Soda, I may very well have driven more Primus through my auditory canal than any other band. Fluent in their cryptic vernacular, I have discerned that many Primus fans seem to think that Frizzle Fry, their first real album, was their best. I'm no exception. While all of their albums are good, I also tend to agree with those that site a negative correlation between how recent a Primus album is, and how much hiney it kicks. In fact, their last album, Brown, despite a few good songs, was my least favorite Primus work ever. This saddened me dearly, and I began to fear I would loose my favorite band to the vortex of no-name bands that got a name and forgot how to play. I writhe with glee to announce that this disturbing trend is very much over. While I cant go so far as to say that its better than Frizzle Fry, Antipop is right up there, and in ways resembles Frizzle Fry more than any other album. But Antipop takes off where Frizzle Fry stopped, retaining the funk and punk, and adding a whole new layer of coolness. I love the backup vocals of Martina Topley-Bird in "Dirty Drowning Man", the ambient sound effects at the start of "Greet The Sacred Cow", the Floyd-ish effect laden "Eclectic Electric" (almost too Floyd for comfort, but you know what they say about imitation), and the haunting Tom Waits collaboration "Coattails of a Dead Man".Guitarist Ler, who seemed to have fallen off the earth during the recording of Brown and been replaced by a monkey, is back with a vengeance, along with a few other guitar wielding guests. Les seems to have finally gotten over trying to be a one man band, and gone back to being only half of Primus, though the better half no doubt. Brain, the new drummer, does a fine job, and is proving himself to be not only a pseudo-mexican, but a pseudo-worthy successor to Herb as well. About the only thing missing is a song about fishing. I highly recommend this excellent Primus installment.

The decline in Connecticut's unemployment rate has been cause for celebration recently, but economists at the University of Connecticut say the improvement is likely to be slowed — or even reversed — as tens of thousands of workers sitting on the sideline resume their search for work.
A new report released Monday by the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis notes that 65,000 working-age adults in the state stopped looking for work in the last three years. But in recent months more of those "discouraged workers" are again looking for work, driving up the "participation" rate and size of the state's labor force.

The guns are just air pistols. The badges are something you might find in a cereal box. From the LED lights to the walkie talkies, there's nothing special about what officers say 45 year old James Lucas of Yazoo County used to fool others into thinking he was a policeman.
"There's no law against having this stuff. It's what you do with it," says Yazoo County Chief Investigator Tommy Irvine.
And it worked, authorities say, at least to the extent that Lucas was able to pull over two people in Humphreys County near Silver City. In one of those incidents, the motorist said it appeared Lucas had his weapon out, and a high speed chase ensued.
As of Friday afternoon, Lucas was being held in Humphreys County, but he still had not been charged. Detectives are still probing the case, as cop impersonation is only a misdemeanor.
Lucas' Grand Marquis is outfitted with blue lights and a glued-on antenna.
Governor Phil Bryant says, when old police cruisers are auctioned off, perhaps it's too easy for the vehicles to fall into the wrong hands.
"One of the things we have to start looking at is, who do we sell the law enforcement vehicles to when we get rid of them?" he said, when asked by a reporter about cop impersonators.
Investigator Irvine says a Grand Marquis is not a police cruiser. When police vehicles are sold, they're completely stripped down first.
Investigator Irvine says the bigger issue is strengthening the laws to keep police impersonators behind bars. Although Lucas has never before been charged with impersonation, he's been suspected of it in the past.
"As we're conducting the investigation we're finding out this is not the first time he has possibly done this," Irvine says.
If you're pulled over by someone and you're not sure if it's an officer, police advise you to keep driving to a populated area, and call 911 in the meantime to ask if there's an officer in the area that fits the description.

WESTERN NSW has recorded its first two victories of the nation-wide Junior Gold Cup tournament, defeating Illawarra's under 15s and under 17s at Endeavour Oval on Sunday.
Backing up following tough losses to the Central Coast and Sydney North in the tournament's opening rounds, Western NSW regrouped to win the under 15s 33-17 and, impressively, come from behind to claim an 18-17 victory in the under 17s.
Down 17-13, the home side scored late in the contest to clinch the one-point victory and cap a strong third round for the region.
Western now has a week off before playing Sydney West in their next game at St Stanislaus College, Bathurst.
Australian Rugby Union western region development manager Mark Debrincat says Western NSW will enjoy the week off before a potentially bruising clash with the might of Sydney West.
"They'll be strong," Debrincat said of his group's next opponents.
"They had a 7-all draw last week versus Illawarra and they had a strong side as well.
"That's the thing with the Junior Gold Cup, it's open every week. It's always close."
Debrincat was impressed with the likes of Orange's Charlie Cooper and Dubbo's Nick Cushion in the under 17s.
Wellington's Jakob Styles was a stand-out in the under 15s, scoring a hat-trick, while a brace from Bathurst's Felix Quinn helped the under 15s bring up its 16-point win over Illawarra.

Bedtime Blues2 Reviews
Troubled by nightmares, Fai finds comfort with Kurogane. [Spoilers up to Chapter 126]
"...That eye is the source of your magic isn't it?" the chilling voice asked as Syaoran loomed over Fai and cupped his cheek. "To get back the feathers, I may need this as well."
Fai's eye snapped opened as he rolled over onto his back and sat up in bed, lifting his hand to the black eye patch that now covered his left eye in the process; it had been weeks since the incident in Tokyo but he was still troubled by dreams, remembering what happened.
They were in another world now, not the first since leaving that forsaken land, staying at a quaint inn for the night before beginning their search for feathers in the morning. At that moment however, Fai only wished he wouldn't have to return to sleep.
The body next to him on the bed stirred and Fai held his breath; ever since the incident, Kurogane had refused to leave him alone for fear that he would try and take his own life; that was why they were currently sharing a room where both Sakura and Syaoran had their own. The last thing Fai wanted however was to wake his bait.
"You hungry...?" a tired voice grumbled.
Too late.
Silently Fai shook his head; he didn't want to appear weak to the ninja; besides he already had to rely on the man to live, there was no need to bother him with such foolishness as a nightmare.
"Then why are you awake?"
"Just figuring we should get a move on soon to find that feather," Fai cheerfully replied, hoping that Kurogane would buy his excuse.
"It's not even dawn yet."
"Mokona will be able to sense it anyway."
"Fai..." the ninja warned and in the dim lighting Fai could practically see Kurogane scowling at him.
"Yes, Kuro-rin?"
"Go to sleep."
"Of course," he replied as he laid back down on his back. All he had to do was lie still until his bait went back to sleep and then he could peacefully spend the rest of the night brooding away.
"I said sleep! Not fake it!" Kurogane yelled and Fai wondered if they had just woken up everyone else staying in the inn. Fortunately he heard no one coming to kick them out.
"Kuro-pii, what are you talking about?" the blond magician sweetly asked, wondering if he could still get away with fooling the ninja.
A growl escaped the ninja. "I know the only times you sleep on your back if you're unconscious!"
Fai frowned; he should have realized the ninja would have known something like that. "I'm simply not tired."
"Then get tired quickly because either both of us are going to sleep tonight or neither will!"
"It's not that easy," the magician whispered as he stared up at the ceiling.
Prepared for a scolding, Fai was surprised when he felt Kurogane's strong hand latch onto his arm and gave a hard, sharp tug so that the half-vampire ended up rolling over and landing on top of his bait.
"Sleep," Kurogane ordered as he pressed Fai's face into his chest before wrapping his arms around the magician's body.
Inhaling Kurogane's scent, Fai felt himself beginning to relax. He felt safe in the ninja's arms, knowing that Kurogane could and would scare away and dreams that plagued him.
Closing his eye, Fai began drifting off and under him he felt Kurogane do the same. He was almost asleep when he felt something stirring inside him.
"Kuuuuroo-tannnn," he playfully said, his eye snapping open once more. Raising his head, he looked down into Kurogane's annoyed face.
"What is it now?"
"I'm hungry."
Red eyes glared. "Ten minutes ago you said you weren't!"
"That was ten minutes ago."
Kurogane sighed as he sat up, Fai settling comfortably in his lap. Reaching over to the bedside table, the ninja grabbed the dagger he had put there before going to bed and used it to cut open his wrist.
Another sigh escaped the larger man as the magician began to greedily feed; it was going to be a long night.
