GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Horrible school leadership in the High School. I feel that they hire the most unqualified candidates to run this school. Students are treated horribly without respect and any consideration. Do not send your children here if you actually want them to get a good and fair education. Moved here from Boston 10 years ago (moved my practice here) and feel an education in North Korea would be better. School almost lost their accreditation and I can see why.
As a graduated student of Athol Royalston Middle School, i am now attending Athol High School and i am proud to be part of the district. As a student at the middle school i attended through grades 6-8 an i recived nothing but respect and a great education. The teachers were friendly and did their best to prepare us for the MCAS testing. Now dont get me wrong I was never an A student infact i was more of a B-C student but the teachers did their best to get me through the rough patches. Both schools have their faults but they are definetly under rated.
I am anxious to get my children out of the Athol-Royalston school district. It concerns me that it is a level 4 rated school and they are more concerned with a "shiny" new building than fixing the real problems plaguing their system. Spend and tax strategies will not work here and frankly I am ashamed to have these people inadequately educating my kids. However I am grateful for the intelligence my wife and I are blessed with and can pass on to our children to fill the voids. If they do get their new brick and mortar school it is going to be a huge financial burden on Athol's working poor, after you get your tax bills recognize who pushed for it and vote accordingly at election time!
The school has helped my step son like school tho he struggles he truly has made great improvements.
Not only did this school fail my son in numerous ways last year, but are still failing him before school even starts. I had signed him up for a Virtual School because I had enough with these schools, I was going to make sure his education was first! Well the school has failed to send back the records requested to finalize his application, resulting in no room as of now! I am ticked beyond belief about this! Something really needs to be done about these schools, if you move here DO NOT let your children go to these schools, they take NO responsibility for their actions!
Favoritism and bullying run rampant in this school. How can one expect students not to bully when some of the teachers do it? The education is fair as to be expected for a public school and there are some really great teachers which outweigh the few nasty ones. The school administration should try discretely observing the behavior of some of the staff as some are less mature than the Jr high school children they are teaching. Singling out one of two kids out of a group or making an example out of a student over something trivial is absolutely uncalled for. As a teacher, you cannot base your actions towards a student due to your personal feelings or opinions about a family or individual student. It is your job to treat each student with respect and dignity, regardless of income, religion, household status, gender or sexual orientation.
Reading the other reviews....seems like a great deal complaining made by parents who give vague generalizations. I have had 2 children attend and I have had a varied experience. I feel that the teachers are exceptional and very dedicated to the students. Lots of hands on learning and innovative ideas. I have not been especially impressed with the school dress code, as it does not reflect other district schools. Overall, I am pleased with the education my child receives.
I am very disappointed with this school. This is why I am taking advantage of school choice and getting my child out of this school.
Academic performance is fair. The sixth grade tachers are really good and my child loves to go there.
I happen to think that this school is a very nice school,and my child does very well at this school. All problems that he has had have been solved in a timely fashion with good results all around.
This school is terrible! They have no clue how to discipline their students and they don't care either! Vice Principle was fantastic, but the principal needs to find another school. They are unable to deal with Special Needs students and forget all about EDPLANs that they are required by law to follow. Child safety is not a priority and they could use some intervention to teach their staff about bullying.

The name "Sonic hedgehog" may conjure up images of Sega's blue videogame character, tumbling across a screen and collecting gold rings, but its namesake, the human gene Sonic hedgehog, encodes a protein (SHH) whose role in the body is anything but light entertainment. The first hedgehog gene was named for the prickly appearance of the mutant phenotype in Drosophila and thus continuned the whimsical gene naming tradition among fly geneticists. Later, an analogous gene found in mammals was named Sonic hedgehog, a nod to Sega's famous videogame. In humans, defective SHH signaling has been linked to embryonic death, limb defects, heart problems, cancer, and more.
In 2006, scientists discovered that Sonic hedgehog needs a properly constructed cilium, a micro-antenna that projects from almost every cell in the body, in order to do its job. That year, Danwei Huangfu and Kathryn Anderson at the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York, published that surprising finding in Development. Now, in a follow-up paper published in Cell in November, Anderson and colleagues Sarah Goetz and Karel Liem Jr. described a new gene mutation that causes defects in SHH signaling and a lack of cilia in the neural cells of the embryo1. Goetz named the mouse mutant bartleby, as unmotivated to make cilia as Herman Melville's lazy scribe was to work.
Anderson recalled how her lab first discovered the link between SHH and cilia, "We didn't plan to study cilia; we came across them by accident." The researchers were inducing random genetic mutations in mouse embryos and looking at embryo anatomy when they found defects linked to defects in SHH signaling. When they mapped the mutations, they found that the mutated genes encoded proteins required for ciliogenesis. The new Cell paper follows up on that, Anderson explained.
When Anderson's group mapped the mutated bartleby gene, they found that it encoded the protein Tau tubulin kinase 2 (TTBK2). They showed that TTBK2 is important for removing a protein that blocks cilia construction, CP110. Anderson's group was surprised to discover that the bartebly gene is also mutated in the rare human disease spinocerebellar ataxia type 11 (SCA11). This neurodegenerative disorder leads to poor coordination in walking, hand movement, eye movement, and speech that worsens over time. Anderson's data indicate that the mutations in this rare disease may disrupt ciliogenesis.
"The link to this particular disease was surprising because it is unlike the other disorders that have been linked to cilia so far in a number of ways," Anderson said. In 1990, scientists began to discover the cilia-linked group of diseases known as ciliopathies, and nearly all were recessive genetic diseases that affected a broad range of organs. In contrast, spinocerebellar ataxias are dominant genetic diseases that specifically affect the cerebellum.
Spinocerebellar ataxia is not the only disease with a surprising new link to SHH and cilia. Recent evidence ties cilia defects to the common learning disorder, dyslexia. Several genes are now thought to be critical in dyslexia and now recent work shows that changes in one dyslexia gene, DCDC2, affects SHH signaling and cilia length in cultured neuronal cells2. More recently, a paper published by Gayathri Chandrasekar and colleagues in PLoS One links a different dyslexia gene (DYX1C1) to cilia defects in zebrafish3. DYX1C1 is similar in humans and zebrafish. "We believe that there are good reasons to ask, should we classify dyslexia as a new group of ciliopathies with primarily a cognitive phenotype?" said Juha Kere, principal investigator on the project, at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

Breaking Bad (AMC)
Winner 2013
When Breaking Bad won its first Peabody Award in 2008, the winner's citation points to a conflicted Walter White, a man facing "moral questions [that] become more and more difficult for him—and the audience." How far we've come since then. In the final stretch of eight episodes that aired in 2013, the time for moral questioning has passed. Walter White has completely taken on the role of the show's villain as the show's creator, Vince Gilligan, makes good on his promise to utterly transform Walter White from Mr. Chips into Scarface. Sticking the landing for a television show is always difficult, but these final episodes of Breaking Bad did so in a way that felt Shakespearean in scope. A descendant of both King Lear and Macbeth, Walter White contributes something powerful and uniquely his own to our collective memory in this 21st century tragedy. For taking us into the darkest chambers of a human heart in a way never before seen on TV, Breaking Bad wins the rare honor of a second Peabody Award.

A blog about music / Twitter. / Contact.
Delocated, one of the best comedy series of recent years, came to an end last Sunday with a one off series finale. The closing episode 'The Frrt Identity' brought the show to an appropriately poignant finish, although I won't say anything more than that as you can now view the episode on the adult swim site. Needless to say it managed to accentuate everything that was great about the show from day one as it weaves wonderfully nonsensical daftness into a satire of reality TV which manages to avoid being overbearing or condescending. The fact that it does both of these things with a lead character as potentially unlikable as they come only makes it twice as impressive.
Bob's Burgers (S3, E08)
This new Iron and Wine song is GREAT.
The Archer/Bob's Burgers crossover was pretty amazing.
Tig Notaro: Live
I don't think I've ever heard a better example of the transcendent capabilities of stand-up comedy as an art form. This is as raw, heartbreaking and yet, inexplicably, still hilarious as it gets. Tig Notaro's recent and now notorious Largo show in which she discusses her cancer diagnosis really is essential listening for comedy fans. Read this blurb about it here and then purchase it here for only $5. Not only will you get to hear something really special but a portion of that 5 bucks goes to cancer research as well.
Just done watching the latest episode of Louie. Much like the Ramon episode, it was intriguing but lacking any real laughs. This expression totally saved the day though.
Tim Heidecker - Bob Dylan's Titanic
"Recently, I read that Bob Dylan's new album Tempest will feature a 14 minute song about the Titanic.
So I wrote this song to see if I could beat the Master to it. I can't wait to see how close I got to the real thing!"
Well done Tim Heidecker. The idea is arguably funnier than the execution, but it's still got some lyrical gems (full transcript here).

Lon Babby received a two-year contract extension on Tuesday as Suns owner Robert Sarver gave the go-ahead for Babby and front-office mate Lance Blanks to see their rebuilding process through. While the unscientific analysis of fan reaction to the move appears to be hedging aggressively toward the negative side, I hosted a three-on-three of VotS writers Michael Schwartz, Dave Dulberg and Ryan Weisert to understand their opinions on the decision.
What was your initial reaction to the news of Lon Babby's extension?
Dave Dulberg: I wasn't terribly surprised. That's not to say I liked the move, but Robert Sarver has never really shied way from supporting Babby's decisions. Also this is not an organization that loves to admit the err of its ways. Letting Babby's contract run out would basically imply that Sarver thought his three-year tenure was a failure. Whether it has or hasn't been can be debated, but Sarver is never going to indict himself.
Michael Schwartz: In essence all sports executives work on one-day contracts due to the impatient nature of the business, but to me this extension signaled that Sarver is willing to stay the course and let Babby build the Suns brick by brick rather than feeling the need to make panic trades for veterans to win immediately (cough, cough, Dayton Moore of the Royals). I also feel this was a case of Sarver favoring process over results as although the Suns' record isn't where they want it, clearly the owner is on board with Babby's overall rebuilding plan.
Ryan Weisert: The contract was a year too long. The Suns were right to keep Babby on, but he hasn't earned a two-year deal. Babby has struggled in his two offseasons. In 2011, he displayed patience and self-restraint by not giving out any bad contracts, but he didn't build toward the future at all. And 2012 was a mixed bag. Dragic was a quality signing. Scola was a great bargain. But Babby struck out with Michael Beasley and Wes Johnson. Babby may be the man to get Phoenix back on track, but he hasn't proven that yet.
Do you believe that allowing the front office to see the rebuilding process through is more important than scrapping a front office duo whose decisions — from our perspective — haven't gone as planned?
Dulberg: From the organization's perspective I get it. Sports is often a reactionary industry, and the Suns are opting to instead go with a patient approach. From an outsider's perspective, I'm not convinced Babby or Lance Blanks deserves any more blind faith. This year's team was theirs. They believed in it. They thought there were pieces to compete for a playoff spot. Suddenly when things went downhill it became a "rebuilding" year. The league is cyclical, sure. However, this rebuilding process is in part because of poor personnel decisions.
Schwartz: Well, not all of them have gone as planned, but did anybody think the Suns would be good immediately post-Nash? I think Babby has pushed the Suns to finally depart the treadmill of mediocrity and rebuild the right way. Babby's tenure has been building toward this offseason or the next to make that signature move, so I'd rather see the Suns continue on that path than start anew before a critical offseason like they did in 2010.
Weisert: Of course. Dumping the front office now would be a huge mistake. Don't get me wrong, at this moment the Suns are very bad at winning basketball games. Their record and the general malaise hanging over the franchise are hardly reasons to reward the front office. But the Suns are not destitute. They have tradable assets, draft picks, and most importantly cap room. Babby and Blanks, despite their missteps, did accumulate these assets. Sarver is betting that if they were smart enough to acquire these pieces, they'll be smart enough to use them properly and return the Suns to their former glory.
What specifically is Lon Babby's legacy hinging upon as we look to this offseason and beyond?
Dulberg: Now that the Suns are supposedly starting the rebuilding process, he and Lance Blanks need to prove that they have an eye for talent. Those 10 picks over the next three years will define his legacy. The team still isn't quite sure what it has in its last two first-round picks, but at some point that's just not good enough. He's getting a second chance in my mind — those 10 picks are his opportunity not to blow it.
Schwartz: Whether he can land this franchise's next star. There have been mistakes made along the way, sure, but I feel Babby has done his job in clearing the deck and getting the Suns to ground zero, as painful of a place as that is. Now the question centers around whether he can acquire the kind of frontline talent it takes to be competitive in the NBA. If he does, whether it's through the draft or a trade, he will leave behind a positive legacy.
Weisert: The draft. Every GM save for Sam Presti has signed or traded for a bad contract. Even R.C. Buford once acquired Richard Jefferson. Babby can be forgiven for some of the terrible contracts he's given out. But he's struck out in the two drafts he's overseen. The list of potential future All-Stars picked after the Morris twins in 2011 is quite long. And Kendall Marshall seems like a wasted pick considering the Suns inked Goran Dragic a month later. The top-five pick the Suns will likely have this June is Babby's chance to redeem himself and the end the Suns' decade of draft impotence.

Director Darren Aronofsky is on the list of possible diectors for Christopher Nolan's upcoming Superman project, Heat Vision is reporting. Aronofsky joins a group that already includes Duncan Jones, Tony Scott and Matt Reeves.
But with Aronofsky in the running, there is also talk that another director has been ruled out…
Ben Affleck, who is soaring after The Town became both a critical and commercial hit, and who actually played superman (or at least the man who became known for him, George Reeves) in Hollywoodland, took a meeting about possibly taking the job, but has apparently moved on to other things.
Something tells me that Affleck moving on to other things before hearing back from the producers is a lot like me moving on with my love life before hearing back from Salma Hayek…or those lawyers, of hers. (Empire Online)
Now that's just super!
Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, the producers behind the upcoming Superman film, have begun interviewing potential directors, Deadline is reporting. Nolan will reportedly submit his choice to Warner Bros. as early as next week.
On the list: Unstoppable's Tony Scott, Let Me In director Matt Reeves, Battle: Los Angeles helmer Jonathan Liebesman (who just got the Warner Bros/Legendary job of directing Clash of the Titans 2), Duncan Jones, who just directed Source Code, and Sucker Punch helmer Zack Snyder.
What? This list is a farce! No Crispin Glover? No David Lynch? No thank you, Mr. Nolan.
Just call him Leonardo DiCoinoprio. Christopher Nolan has unveiled plans to some Romans that a video game based off Inception is in the works.
"We are looking at doing is developing a videogame based on the world of the film, which has all kinds of ideas that you can't fit into a feature film. That's something we've been talking about and are looking at doing long term, in a couple of years."
Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this. My mind is still pretty messed up as is thanks to the end of Metroid. (Variety)
I didn't enjoy Inception as much as Peter Travers did. The action was great and the overall concept was enjoyable, but I didn't find the characters grounded enough to get hooked into. They definitely weren't as fleshed out as Scrooge McDuck. It's come to light today that Christopher Nolan, stealing stealer who steals, stole the plot to Inception from a Scrooge McDuck comic strip.
You'd think a zillionaire like Scrooge McDuck would have his mind trained against intruders entering his subconscious. And how do we know that Donald isn't actually Tom Hardy? God, this comic is such a mindf*ck. (via /Film)
The rumor that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has beat out Eddie Murphy for the role of Riddler in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight sequel has been floating around the Internet and abstinence meet-ups for a little while. Today First Showing got there hands on a casting grid that confirms the thesp may sign on to tease Batman's brain.
The grid lists the Riddler as a character appearing in the film, with Gordon-Levitt listed as "interested." Whether this will come together or not is anyone's guess. Maybe they'll need him for a G.I. Joe sequel instead. What we do learn from this is that the Riddler will show up to piss Batman off with confusing labyrinthian puzzles and traps. Think of it like Nolan's reimagining of Saw.
I'm here to fix the air conditioning.Christopher Nolan was ejected from a screening of Inception over the weekend. At least that's the sensational way to write it.Nolan was watching his latest blockbuster at the Arclight Cinerama in Los Angeles when, at about 100 minutes into the film, the screen went black and the patrons were asked to leave. The reason? A faulty air conditioning unit. The temperature in the theater was so warm that management decided to pull the plug, much to the dismay of those in attendance.According to our source, everyone in the theater was told about the broken air conditioning before buying a ticket. This made the decision to pull the plug even more infuriating. However, I'd imagine many of those angry fans were placated when they spotted Nolan and actor Dileep Rao signing autographs. But that wouldn't do much good for Nolan who probably cried himself to sleep that night…while wearing a Batman costume and lying on a huge pile of money. (CinemaBlend)
PG-13, 148m., 2010Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Dileep Rao, Tom Berenger with Cillian Murphy and Micheal CaineWritten and Directed by Christopher Nolan Inception…
Christopher Nolan has the film world in the palm of his hand. After taking Batman in a bold direction, Nolan can pretty much have any project he wants, and make any actor do whatever he wants. If he were to reboot Air Bud, it wouldn't be long before franchise teams actually began drafting housepets. If he were to take on Big Momma's House, Martin Lawrence would actually gain the weight and spring for the operation. Sh*t, I bet he could even turn in a decent xXx film. He's that good. So the news that he wants to direct a Bond film has me really stoked. He tells the BBC:"I've loved the Bond films since I was a kid. For me, they're always about the expansiveness of cinema. The first Bond films set up infinite possibilities about the world they create. I'd love to do a Bond film."This is merely conjecture at this point. With Bond 23 in financial turnaround and another Batman film next on Nolan's docket, it could be a long time before we see this become a reality. But don't give up hope. If the stars align and if there's a role for Michael Caine, this could become a pretty cool reality. (via Deadline)
DiCaprio pondering Inception's plot points.Just this morning I was halfway through explaining Inception's plot to someone when it occurred to me that I had no idea what I was talking about. So, naturally I just kind of trailed off and quickly escaped into the flatbed of a passing truck. Looks like I'm not the only one confused:For the Inception cast, the intricate screenplay Mr. Nolan wrote was tantalizing but occasionally perplexing. "It was a very well written, comprehensive script," Mr. DiCaprio said, "but you really had to have Chris in person, to try to articulate some of the things that have been swirling around his head for the last eight years."That's disheartening considering it's unlikely Nolan will provide a Q&A after each screening. He could at least print his number on each ticket stub so we could call him at random hours to request some kind of closure. According to Peter Travers, we'll love it as long as we're not stupid. So yeah, it's pretty much the anti-Transformers. (NY Times via Vulture)
There's only one movie you're really dying to see this summer, and that's Christopher Nolan's Inception. I know you feel this way because I feel this way, and we're connected like E.T. and Elliott. Sorry you're so drunk right now. The alcohol helps me get through the day.Rolling Stone's Peter Travers was allowed to lay his eyes all over Inception, the lucky bastard, and a snippet of his positive review is now online. He said, in so many words, if you have brains capable of processing an intellectual and creative challenge you'll probably really like the film. Stupid heads, not so much.Check out Travers's spoiler free excerpt after the jump…
A new trailer for Inception has star-wiped its way online, and features a lot of new footage. We also get a look at each of the characters (including Marion Cotillard's mysterious Mal), and see a bit more about what the hell this movie is about. From this trailer it looks like Mission: Impossible set amongst the perceived reality created by stochastic neurons. Except there's no Ving Rhames. Which is dumb. Usually the only way I know that I'm dreaming is when Ving Rhames appears. But whatever, I trust Christopher Nolan. I'm just disappointed there doesn't seem to be a scene where Ellen Page dreams she showed up for work in the nude. Missed opportunity right there. VIEW THE TRAILER AND BEND YOUR MIND AFTER THE JUMP…
In case you don't make it to the theater thirty minutes before your movie to secure good seats so you don't have to sit next to a mouth-breather or texting addict, here's some Inception pre-show entertainment for you. The featurette gives us a teeny-eency-weency more in depth look at Christopher Nolan's upcoming mindf*ck of a film. In fact, if the MPAA and society allowed it, I'm positive the title of Inception would be Christopher Nolan's Mindf*ck. I guess we'll just have to wait for the porno version to be released the following day. Check out the trippy featurette after the jump…
Just your average cab ride in NYC. Maybe you didn't watch the last Inception trailer we posted because you want to save your entire load for when the movie comes out, but if you're up for a little butthole tickle (cinematically speaking) the U.K. has a 60 second spot. It entices without giving away the farm. I personally love how I've seen several one-sheets, trailers, and clips for the film and I still honestly have no idea what the movie is about. Sure, I realize it deals with dream interior designing and anti-gravity parkour, but I haven't seen Leo's business card yet. That's really the only way to gain a true perspective on a man. Here, I'll leave mine behind so you can follow up. **Slaps avocado pit down on table ** Check out the spot after the jump.
Inception set up a viral game called Mind Crime that if you beat it you could watch the new trailer for the film. Well guess what? Screw that noise! Someone else played that shiz and now we're all reaping the benefits. The new trailer looks downright awesome. I still have no idea what the F is going on, but I WANT to know, and someone once told me that's a win on the marketing side of things. This film looks like a serious trip, and with Christoper Nolan behind the wheel I have no doubt the destination will be Giddyland. I'll bring the diapers if you bring the Sour Patch Kids. Check out the trailer after the jump. Inception gets inside theaters and your mind July 15.
Inception continually insists on spitting in gravity's face. If Sir Isaac Newton laid eyes upon this new poster his powdered wig would spin round from pure outrage. What's the floor?! What's the ground?! City-dwellers have to spend most of the day just trying to maintain their balance. It's the maintenance workers I feel the most sorry for, though. The high rise window washers must curse their existence with each rising sun. (IMPAwards)
You see that, Batman? That's a release date for your next film. How does July 20, 2012 sound? (Warner Bros. forcefully shakes his head yes)Batman 3 hasn't even gone into production yet, as Christopher Nolan just completed Inception and wants to close his eyes for a minute, but little bro Jonathan Nolan is diligently working away on the script based off a story by himself and David Goyer. Since the film is going to be in 3D I hope they add a lot of "Bats fly at the screen!" in the action. You can never get enough bats flying at the screen. It's like they're gonna get caught in your hair! Eeeeeeee! (Deadline)
The Los Angeles Times published four new photos of Christopher Nolan's Inception in yesterday's edition of Calendar. We added captions.Shot through a filter of Jose Cuervo and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Nolan and DiCaprio wait patiently while Gordon-Levitt shows #2 who it works for.More after the jump…
Superman rescues mini Goyer. It doesn't matter why.David Goyer will write the new Superman movie to be titled The Man of Steel. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Dark Knight partner Christopher Nolan is shepherding the project for Warner Brothers, but a welcome one, nonetheless. Goyer intends to look to the original John Byrne creation for inspiration. Brandon Routh will not star and Bryan Singer is not expected to direct. So in other other words, less gay, more fun. Don't pretend like that's not an accurate description.Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac, and won't be an origin story, so if you don't know anything about Superman you'll be like TOTALLY WTF? Don't worry, we'll watch all the prior films at my house before The Man of Steel hits theaters. I'll bring the popcorn, you bring the Bryan Singer (LatinoReview)
DIRECTOR: ???CAST: ???SYNOPSIS: A grittier look at the Man of Steel as he protects Metropolis from Brainiac and Lex Luthor. Based on John Byrne's depiction of Superman.
Superman rescues Mini Nolan. It doesn't matter why. Warner Bros. must be supplying Christopher Nolan with an endless supply of whores, drugs, or fish and chips. The director of The Dark Knight and the upcoming WB film Inception has decided to nurture the new Superman movie that's in development and let it suck from the voluptuous teet of his creativity. Nolan is not writing or directing the film, but instead has taken on the role of "godfather," a title I hope appears in the credits. Developing Superman Returns was such a quagmire for WB it's no wonder they're turning to their golden boy for advice, insight, scribbles he wasn't planning on using for future projects. An insider at the studio said, "We know what we don't want to do. But we don't know what we want to do." That sounds like every Friday night conversation I had with my friends in high school. Result: we all decided to stay home, much like the audience will for this film. Shut up, I had friends! Nolan is also actively working on the Batman 3 script with brother Jonathan Nolan and blood brother David Goyer. Nolan came up with a story idea, probably while clipping his nails whilst dropping a deuce, and the team hopes to finish a draft during post-production on Inception. It looks like SJ writer Wookie Johnson has some egg on his face this morning. The proverbial and the scrambled. The former for saying yesterday that Batman 3 scripts rumors were bull hockey, the latter for sticking his face in a plate of scrambled eggs. The man's a barbarian, folks. (Deadline)
DIRECTOR: Christopher NolanCAST: Christian Bale; Michael Caine; Morgan Freeman; Gary OldmanSYNOPSIS: TBDRELEASE DATE: July 20, 2012
Oh, hey. Here's some news that's probably nothing. David Goyer has stepped down as FlashForward showrunner to focus on his career in features. This news has sprouted a multitude of nerd boners due to the speculation that he is writing a third Batman film with Jonathan Nolan. But all those plump dork stiffies may be engorged for naught as there has been no official word that Goyer is involved in the project. Nor is there any confirmation that it is even in the scripting phase. Right now it's all speculation stemming from this quote from Deadline Hollywood:"Of course, Goyer's feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan's brother Jonah." Fact of the matter is that, as of right now, Christopher Nolan is busy with Inception and Goyer has a lot of feature projects in development, including Super Max, Ghost Rider 2, Magneto, Y: The Last Man, Scanners, The Invisible Man, The Unforgettable, and Here, There Be Dragons. So nerds, please resheath your geek-woodies until we have something more substantial to fluff to. Unless, of course, you're turned on by stories where there be dragons. Pervert. (Deadline Hollywood)
Leo DiCaprio is on the hunt for Salvador Dali in this new pic from Christopher Nolan's Inception. I don't know if that's what's officially happening, but since Inception and LOST both choose to give us NOTHING before their premieres I only have my ridiculous assumptions to go on. In an interview with the L.A. Times, Christopher Nolan said that Inception was a larger endeavor than The Dark Knight, filming in no less than six countries. I'm guessing the above pic was taken in China, because I've never been there and I like to imagine China looks like a melted oil painting. Christopher Nolan went on to say, "I think we've put a lot of different things into the pot with this one. I grew up watching James Bond films and loving those and watching spy movies with their globe-trotting sensibility." The L.A. Times describes the film's premise as corporate espionage by way of dream invasion. Sweet. It's like John Grisham rewriting The Firm totally baked. Now if only he'd rewrite A Time to Kill while under the influence. Matthew McCaughnehey's character would be TOTALLY the same.
Leo emerges from a basin of amniotic fluid. The new trailer for Inception has hit, and even though this one's in English I still have no idea what that f*ck is going on. Last week we showed you the French version which made a lot more sense in the sense that it was foreign and foreign things are weird. What I gather from this trailer is what we already know about the movie: Leo DiCaprio is entering people's minds and stealing images/thoughts/dreams/wet dreams with a sleek, metallic vibrator. He also likes to spin a dreidel to work through problems. Can I surmise that his character is Jewish? Oh Nolan, why won't you give me more! Oy vey! Check out the new Inception trailer at Apple.

Lovers of big boobies rejoice, because the 32DDD boobs are here. There's nothing quite like the feeling of holding a DDD pair in your hands and caressing them. Well, there are two things that are not only quite like the experience, but, in fact, also better. Sucking on these lovely massive breasts is one and some hot DDD titty-fucking is the other. The beauty of this cup size is that while they may be huge boobs, they are also capable of being perky and fit just as well on skinny ladies as on the bodies of full-figured women.

Parenting by Design - March 18
Serving the one true God
Deut. 32:12: The Lord alone led him; no foreign god was with him (NIV).
This verse refers to the journey of the Israelites out of captivity in Egypt to the Promised Land. God alone led the Israelites through the desert. They faced difficulties and trials, many of their own making, but through it all, it was very obvious that God was the only one that could protect and prosper them.
When we guide our children, we should follow God's example and let them know that no foreign god should be allowed to come between them and the one true God. Keep in mind that "foreign gods" take a variety of forms in today's world, such as money, power, beauty, and fame. We must be diligent to watch for the influence of these gods in our lives and the lives of our children.
Let your children know that the Lord alone is sufficient to lead your family.

More empties! I've been powering through samples while I've been in Europe, but unfortunately I've been buying a lot too. How can I not - so many new products to try! But I do feel proud of the fact I'm actually using products up these days, instead of using 2/3 of a bottle then leaving it to rot away in the corner.
71. Moroccanoil Clarifying shampoo* - I love how a tiny amount of this shampoo goes a long way. It works pretty well for my hair, but it's not HG status like the Moroccanoil Hydrating conditioner.
72. John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo - I really liked this shampoo, and the large sample size is really handy. No itchiness, no overdrying, and my hair stays clean for a couple days afterwards.
73. Hydro-Minerale Aquatic Spa Therapy Lemongrass Moisture Lotion - Pretty good for a hotel moisturiser - I used this to shave my legs in the shower. I've found that to be a pretty good use of moisturisers that aren't quite rich enough.
74. Kosmea Radiance 24/7 Youth Boost - This is supposed to be rose hip oil on steroids, with a host of extra antioxidants - my skin isn't particularly mature, so I didn't find it significantly better than the pure rose hip oil. I might give it another go in a few years.
75. Ralph Lauren Ralph Shower Gel - From my first ever perfume gift pack, this tube is absolutely ancient. I was never a fan of the perfume so I've had this stashed away forever, but I can say that the scent hasn't really changed after about 13 years of storage. Yep, 13 years. That's how long I hold onto half-used beauty products for.
76. L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss shampoo - This is a little too mild for my hair. Otherwise, no complaints.
77. Vice & Velvet Siren Body Polish - My least favourite of the Vice & Velvet products I've tried so far I just don't need to exfoliate my body much, so it feels like a lot of work for nothing. The scent is intoxicatingly gorgeous though.
78. Goldwell Rich Repair Shampoo (sample) - I love this shampoo! It smells like caramel and washes effectively without being drying.
79. The Organic Skin Co Freshness Juniper Berry Face Wash - This is very gentle but still effective.
80. Cure Natural Aqua Gel (sample) - I purchased a couple of sachets of this off eBay to see what the fuss was about - for my skin, it's good, but not worth the massive markup compared to other peeling gels in my opinion.
There we go, 4/5 of my Project 100 Pan is over!

The payroll tax rate was only 2 percent in 1937, the first year Social Security taxes were levied. It did not surpass 6 percent until 1962.
Even with low tax rates, Social Security could afford to pay benefits in the early years because there were more workers paying the tax for each person receiving benefits than there are today. In 1960, there were 4.9 workers paying Social Security taxes for each person getting benefits. Today, there are about 2.8 workers for each beneficiary, a ratio that will drop to 1.9 workers by 2035, according to projections by the Congressional Budget Office.

About 56 million people now collect Social Security benefits, and that number is projected to grow to 91 million in 2035. Monthly benefits average $1,235 for retired workers and $1,111 for disabled workers. Social Security provides most older Americans a majority of their income. About one-quarter of married couples and just under half of single retirees rely on Social Security for 90 percent or more of their income, according to the Social Security Administration.
"Social Security is what's carrying me," said Neta Homier, a 79-year-old retired hospital worker from Toledo, Ohio. "There's no way I would have made it without it. The kids, they're on their own, now, and I'm not going to be a burden for them. That's what it would have been if I hadn't had Social Security."
Homier said she started receiving Social Security when she was 63 and now gets about $800 a month, after her Medicare premiums are deducted. She said her father died at 51, so he never received Social Security, and her mother died at 71 and collected benefits for only a few years.
"It's definitely worth it," she said.
At 52, Anthony Riley of Columbus, Ohio, has a different perspective. Riley said he has a private retirement account because he worries that Social Security won't provide adequate benefits throughout his retirement.
"I use to think that it was worth paying for your Social Security, but now I don't think so," Riley said. At 22, Mackenzie Millan of Los Angeles has even greater doubts about whether Social Security will be a good deal for her.
"The money that I put aside now, it's not like that money is going to be waiting for me. That money is going toward someone else," the recent college graduate said. "If I wanted Social Security 50 years from now, when I wanted to retire, I would have to hope that someone else is still working and putting money aside in their paychecks to pay for my Social Security at that point."

One day before the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors tip off for Game 4, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver faces the first major crisis of his tenure as league commissioner: TMZ has obtained a recording of Clippers owner Donald Sterling essentially telling his girlfriend to not bring black people to his games or broadcast any association with them. These kind of racist comments should surprise approximately no one given his reputation and his history of making these sort of insensitive and inhumane comments, but this time the league should seriously consider suspending Sterling as owner.
In a conversation with his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, you can hear Sterling arguing with her over a photo she posted on Instagram with Magic Johnson, a photo that has since been taken down. Here are just a few choice excerpts:
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?"
"You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that…and not bring them to my games."
"Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring them to my games."
.@cjbycookie and I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling is the owner.
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) April 26, 2014
This is all of our faults. We know who Sterling is and what he's done in his time in the NBA. No one is surprised to hear him saying these things, yet we act as if this is some dramatic tipping point as we gather our torches and pitchforks. This Frankenstein monster has been happily chilling in his castle for years now, people. And we let him sit there, making his racist comments and committing these basic crimes against humanity. But late is better than never, and hopefully this latest atrocity will be the final nail in Sterling's coffin.
The NBA is currently investigating these remarks, which are the latest of many transgressions Sterling has committed against minorities and humanity in general. In 2005, he paid a fine of $2.7 million to settle a claim from the Justice Department that Sterling was discriminatory against blacks, Hispanics and families with children in his rental practices. In 2009, Sterling was sued by Elgin Baylor, a former NBA legend and Clippers executive who joined the Los Angeles franchise in 1986.
In the lawsuit, Baylor alleged that Sterling had not only frozen his salary at an incredibly low $350,000 since 2003, but that Sterling had also told him he wanted to fill his team with "poor black boys from the South and a white head coach." Later that year, the U.S. Justice Department sued Sterling for housing discrimination, alleging that he refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood, refused to rent to African-Americans in Beverly Hills and that he did not like to rent to Hispanics because they "smoke, drink and just hang around the building" and that "black tenants smell and attract vermin."
This is what institutional racism is. Sterling is that dude we KNOW about, and no one is willing or able to do anything.
— netw3rk (@netw3rk) April 26, 2014
Enough is enough. The only vermin in this entire situation is Donald Sterling himself, and it's time for the NBA to exterminate his tenure as a league executive. This is a man who has made a great deal of his wealth off the effort of black players, NBA All-Stars and good all-around people like Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Doc Rivers who currently have the Clippers on the verge of contending for a championship. That kind of mentality is not unlike the mindset of a slaveowner from the 1800s Not only is it reprehensible for this man to not understand that, but it's even worse for anyone associated with the NBA in 2014 to be able to get away with this kind of racism, especially in a league that is predominantly made up of black players.
If this audio is authenticated, an indefinite suspension, or more, could be in order. This is horrible for the NBA's image and reputation and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible This kind of habitual racism is unacceptable in this day and age, as is Sterling's attitude that "you can work for me and make me money but I refuse to actually associate with you as a human being because of your race."
LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling's comments about African Americans are a black eye for the NBA.
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) April 26, 2014
Can the NBA legally force Sterling out? That remains to be seen. For one thing, Sterling could sue the NBA for breach of franchise agreement in such a scenario. He could also sue other owners under antitrust law. Another important point is that according to California law, there must be two-way consent when recording conversations, which I'm about 99 percent sure TMZ did not have. But then again this is important to remember:
The NBA can still punish an owner for wrongful conduct based on evidence that is itself unlawful. Why? NBA isn't a court. #DonaldSterling
— Michael McCann (@McCannSportsLaw) April 26, 2014
It's sad that on the eve of Game 4, in the middle of one of the most exciting first rounds of the NBA Playoffs that we've seen in a long time, we're dealing with this instead of sitting back and enjoying the games. And that's probably the point when it comes to seriously considering removing Sterling as an owner: this kind of incident could set the NBA back years in terms of public support, reputation and in turn, ratings. No one wants to watch a league where one of 30 team owners is allowed to utter these kinds of reprehensible things that embody the spirit of slaveholders from the Civil War era. So as much as we've failed to let Frankenstein sit in his ivory tower for all this time, it's good that we're finally grabbing our torches and pitchforks for real. We can only hope Adam Silver is ready to lead the charge.
