Remakes in the past for Hollywood have been an epic undertaking but few reboots will be as epic as the one MGM is currently developing. According to a report from Deadline, MGM is currently in talks with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov to helm a reboot of the classic film Ben-Hur.
MGM is in talks with Wanted helmer Timur Bekmambetov to helm Ben-Hur, a new adaptation of the 1880 Lew Wallace novel Ben-Hur: A Tale Of The Christ, which in its time outsold every book butThe Bible until it was eclipsed by Gone With The Wind.
Should the reboot actually happen, which Deadline cautions it might not ever come to fruition, it would mean that Hollywood has officially leaped back into the well when it comes to the films it churns out.
Originally released in 159, the version of Ben-Hur that MGM is developing for a reboot is actually a remake itself of a 1925 film directed by Charles Brabin. Of course the original source is the Lew Wallace novel and we've seen versions of Ben-Hur pop up in other mediums as well.
There's no guarantee that a reboot of Ben-Hur will happen, but it is intriguing to wonder what it would look like through the very unique lens of Timur Bekmambetov.

|Famous for:
|Contemporary Classic
Nowhere else but Florence could you hope to find a meticulously restored Renaissance-era villa turned, with a minimum of modern interference, into a small and swanky boutique hotel. The Residenza del Moro is central, on the west side of the city center, minutes from the Ponte Vecchio and everything else; within its walls, however, is a much-needed island of tranquility in what can be at times a noisy and crowded town.
A columned courtyard sets a tone of old-world elegance on the way in to the accommodations. The eleven rooms and suites vary in size, from cozy double rooms to the suites, one of which is a converted ballroom, another of which features a selection of artworks and some authentic centuries-old frescoes. All bear remnants of Renaissance architecture, whether ornate ceilings, gold trim, or lush silken fabrics.
The old service kitchens have been converted into a small gym, and there's a tea room for a quick drink — the most charming space, though, is the rooftop garden, dating back to the fifteenth century. A minimal room service is enough for when you can't tear yourself away, but for restaurants, it's out on the town — convenient enough, given the location, and the Residenza is all the quieter for it.

At times work can get you down, and you need to take some time away from it all. However, traveling can be quite expensive. Which is why many more people are choosing to take small weekend trips to locations that are nearby. Recently my friends and I did just that. We packed up our bags and headed up to Blackhawk for the weekend. Now I know what you are thinking, Blackhawk, really? What once was a decrepit aging ghost town, haunted by its glory days in the times of the old west; is now a spectacular get-a-way location, with great hotels, and restaurants?
Over the past decade Black Hawk, CO has witnessed a new renaissance. With luxurious hotels, spas and plenty of entertainment, Blackhawk is a premiere destination for anyone wanting to get away for the hustle and bustle of the city. Set against the glorious purple peaks of the Rocky Mountains, just a 30-minute drive from Denver, Blackhawk has something for everyone.
When my friends and I went up for the weekend, we were pleasantly surprised by what we found. We arrived at the Blackhawk Hotel and checked in right away. The staff was friendly and more than helpful when we asked for suggestion on where to eat. One of their suggestions was to try out one of Blackhawk's best restaurants, which happened to be inside this very hotel. Every inch of the hotel is beautiful. There are vases with fresh flowers everywhere, light music playing in the background and classic furnishings.
When we got to the room, it was spectacular. The linens were fresh and smelled like lavender, the beds were soft and the design details made you feel like you were living in the lap of luxury. Even the bathroom was gorgeous. A porcelain tub/shower, granite countertops and tiny little soaps lined the giant mirror.
The dinner we had at the Blackhawk hotel restaurant was delectable. My friend had the prime rib with a baked potato, green beans and a glass of red wine. My other friend had the filet migon with garlic-mashed potatoes, and a martini. I gorged myself on Alaskan King Crab Legs, buttered asparagus, potato puree and a tall glass of white wine. After we shoveled all the deliciousness down our throats it was time for dessert. Because we were already stuffed, we decided to share a scrumptious piece of chocolate lava cake. Every bite was delicious and by the end of the evening we were stuffed to the brim.
The next day we decided to take advantage of the spa services that they offered. One of my friends sat for a Swedish massage. My other friend booked a facial, and I had the classic mani/pedi. It was amazing. I have never felt so pampered in my life before.
By the end of our little weekend trip, we were all so relaxed and feeling great that we were not ready to return to our dull drum life. But we made a vow that we had to come back another weekend soon.

Local seafood, from redfish to choupique and gar?
I've realized that Louisiana cookbooks dominate my collection, with about a dozen books. Katrina foiled an earlier trip, but we're planning a visit in mid-December. I have a strong interest in local traditions and products and would really like to try authentic preparations of classic dishes. Therefore, any recommendations on restaurants for
1. blackened redfish (overpopularized I know, but from what I've read, an original Louisiana technique. I've had other fishes blackened here in California, and have done it myself, but am curious about the "real thing." If I'm lucky fishing, I will have fresh filets if any kitchen will prep them).
2. catfish or redfish courtbouillon
3. pompano in papillote (is this served anymore?)
4. barbecued shrimp
5. trout amandine (I may also have fresh trout filets)
6. crawfish etouffee (I know they will be out of season, but will settle for frozen)
Tips on gumbo, turtle soup, and anything else anyone cares to add are much appreciated.
Also, any pointers on some more obscure species? Would love to try goo, gar and choupique, especially as filets or steaks, and am interested in choupique caviar. I know they're considered "trash fish" by many in other parts of the country, which makes them all the more appealing to me. Any other local specialties are of interest. Don't mind poking around in the Atchafalaya basin or other outlying areas, and dives and shacks are perfectly fine. The more local character, the better.
Finally, are there any authentic food traditions available from the Coushatta or Chitimacha? No casino food please. Thanks.
Blackened fish, go to the source - K-Paul's.
Cochon does court bouillon, but I didn't really like it. It was very tangy, vinegary. Luke does a good court bouillon for a Friday lunch special.
bbq shrimp - the best are in Metairie at Crazy Johnny's although Pascal's Manale claims the original.
Trout amandine - Mandina's.
Etouffee - I'm not sure, but I would think Cafe Bon Ton would do a respectable job.
Commander's has excellent turtle soup and gumbo. Brigtsen's does a good gumbo. Heck, a lot of places have good gumbo. Try as many as you can.
As for the obscure fish, I've lived in LA my whole life and while I've seen fish like gar and goo for sale at roadside stands, I've never seen them prepared in any restaurant. Not to say that they aren't. In fact, I'm sure some place prepares dishes with those fish. I just can't point you in any particular direction. Down the bayou is your best bet. Some soul food joint somewhere out in the country has to have gar balls or buffalo ribs. If you do find gar or goo on the menu, it probably won't be filleted or steaks. The only way I've had gar and grenald prepared well was in a croquette or "ball." Those two fish are too bony to get good fillets from. Furthermore, Goo is not a tasty fish. You can fillet them, but yummy they are not. I'm interested what others have to say.
Oddly enough, I've seen choupique (bowfin or grenald) caviar around town at some of our finer establishments as of late. A lunch at Adelaide featured a dish festooned with the eggs of the lowly, ugly fish. Unfortunately, I can't say if they still have it on the menu. I think I also saw a jar of bowfin caviar in whole foods maybe? Back by the cheese section. Or it could have been Martin's? I'm not sure. Anyway, best of luck.
Try Galatoire's for the pompano and trout. K-Paul's on rare occasions has blackened redfish. These days their usual blackened fish is drum. Brigtsen's has an excellent blackened tuna with roasted corn sauce topped with a bit of red bean salsa and avacado cream. IMO best turtle soup is at Commander's. Their gumbo is good as well. Stop by any of Ralph Brennan's rest. for a copy of his New Orleans Seafood Cookbook. Tempting recipes easily tweaked to your preferences.
re: JazzyB
I'm a little confused; when I fisrt started hearing about dishes like blackened redfish 25 odd years ago, everything I read referred to "redfish (red drum)" and thus have always thought that redfish and drum were the same. Have I been mistaken all these years?
re: Fydeaux
No, you're not mistaken. The "drum" offered by restaurants in lieu of the now-illegal (commercially caught) redfish is BLACK drum, a fish we used to just throw back.
re: Hungry Celeste
Do they still have commercially caught speckled trout there. I thought they did away with that also. If so where does it come from. I live in Houston and have a freezer full of trout and am afraid Ike is going to ruin it. Im frying some tomorrow and grilling some Sunday after the storm, assuming no power. Any suggestions appreciated.
re: James Cristinian
Yes, commercially caught specks (aka spotted sea trout) is still available. Here's a link to the LA commercial fishing limits/regs for saltwater species: http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/fishing/... There is an annual quota cap, as well as a season.
Here are the LA limits for speckled trout (and other saltwater species) for recreational fishermen: http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/fishing/... It's complicated, as limits change depending on where you're fishing.
Try to catch some sheepshead aka bay snapper. Wonderful white, flaky meat. Great for ceviche, fish tacos, mock crabmeat, frying, etc. One of the tastiest inshore fish around.
Thanks for all of the replies.
N.O. Food--I appreciate the recommendations. I've actually had goo (freshwater drum). It was in Ohio, where people throw them back. It was a little oiler than walleye, and had more dark red flesh, but it wasn't bad. My brother-in-law couldn't tell the difference between the two. From what I've read, most people don't eat gar and bowfin. I don't mind bones--I enjoy buffalo. Since Soul Food and Cajun food often make delicious dishes from very little, I was hoping that the same magic would be applied to these "trash fish". Of course, if you grind things up with lots of spices and then deep fry them, you can disguise the taste of almost anything--that's why I want to find filets or chunks rather than balls. I guess I'll search the bayou.
Jazzy B--I've got "Brennan's New Orleans Cookbook" (1961), but not Ralph Brennan's book--I'll keep an eye out for it.
Cajun Caster--I've had sheepshead (and redfish/red drum, trout, black drum, Southern flounder, pompano, croakers...) and agree, they are delicious. Any particularly Louisianan way to prepare them? and how about other oddities, like gafftopsail catfish? As you can see, I enjoy the unconventional as well as the mainstream.
re: alfredck
"Cajun Caster--I've had sheepshead (and redfish/red drum, trout, black drum, Southern flounder, pompano, croakers...) and agree, they are delicious. Any particularly Louisianan way to prepare them?"
Don't know if they do this in Louisiana or not, but down the road on the Gulf Coast in Mississippi I've had sheepshead that were put in a cheesecloth bag and boiled in crab boil- they were wonderful!
re: alfredck
We have lots of bayous--just realize that thanks to coastal erosion, most of the freshwater species you seek are farther inland than you'd first guess.
Interestingly, gar is widely eaten in the vietnamese fishing community; these folks have a great, efficient tradition of eating whatever they catch that has the lowest market value.
re: Hungry Celeste
Great!!-Know of any Vietnamese restaurants or fish markets with gar on the menu? I wonder what the preps are--grilled, fish balls, other?
re: alfredck
BRS Seafood in Vacherie has gar burgers. My sis likes them. I have not tried them. I like their other food though. They also have frozen & live shrimp, fish, crabs etc. for sale.
Humm the only place I know that does garfish balls is in Mansura, Louisiana (Cochon de lait capital of the world!). It's about a 3 hour drive from NO. They fry the garfish balls and then serve them with rice and gravy. On a side note they also have a really good butcher in the area T-Jim Moreau --- he does boudin, ponce, sausage etc. It is a long way out from NO though. That said---as others have stated you would be hard pressed to get a filet out of a garfish. Usually people cut them up vertically and get what meat they can rather than filet them.
We had a great trip to LA and MS. We were impressed by the friendliness and hospitality of the locals. I had a chance to try a number of fish dishes, some of them memorable, some of them forgettable. One of my friends remarked that Southerners really like to put crabmeat on their fish—I'm happy they do! In order of deliciousness (I caught the lane snapper and gag grouper):
1. Grilled lane snapper with creole seasoning, topped with jumbo lump crabmeat
Blow Fly Inn, Gulfport, MS. Delicate, tender, juicy, sweet snapper filets complemented perfectly by large, sweet lumps of crabmeat. Each mouthful was terrific; I wished there was more after I had eaten the last morsel. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was not nearly as good.
2. Pompano meuniere amandine with crabmeat
Galatoire's, New Orleans, LA. Ridiculously good. Rich, distinctively-flavored fish, broiled perfectly. Rather than an anonymous fillet, it was half of a boned-fish, including head and skin. I enjoyed every bit, including the crispy meat by the tail, the rich meat from the belly, and the chewy skin. My only complaint was the excess (by my standards) amount of butter.
3. Fried alligator gar cutlets
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. Part of a huge feast of freshwater fish from the Atchafalaya River. Thin, boneless pieces of mild, white fish. More like meat or poultry than fish in texture. Yes, it did taste like chicken (almost like fried chicken breast). There were seams of connective tissue within the flesh, but I did not notice them.
4. Lemon pepper gag grouper with grits
Espresso Etc., New Roads, LA. Fresh fish, simply prepared with a bowl of smooth, buttery grits. Large, tender, white flakes of fish that separated easily with a fork. Comfort food at its finest.
5. Goo with gravy over rice
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. A strong-flavored fish, I was told that goo (gaspergoo, freshwater drum) "makes its own juice." Indeed, the gravy was delicious (the fish itself was fatty and gelatinous) over rice. Much more unique and satisfying than the turtle soup I had later that day at Ma Mama's in New Roads.
6. Gag grouper meuniere amandine with crabmeat
Yellow Mouth Grill, Ocean Springs, MS. Very good preparation. In contrast to Galatoire's version, the fish was floured and pan-fried, and smaller fragments of crab were used.
7. Fried yellow cat
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. Simple, clean-tasting catfish with no fresh-water flavor. The preferred catfish of locals.
8. Fried carp ribs
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. Large, easily-eaten pieces of fish (the ribs separated nicely from the flesh). The white meat was sweet, moist, and tender with no fresh-water flavor. The red meat was stronger, but easily avoided. The preparation overcame the problems of bones and muddiness associated with carp and other minnows. On a side note, my fishing guide called redfish "the carp of the sea". Not that I think that carp will ever be popular, but I found this dish to be as good as any redfish I have eaten. I guess it shows you what hype and marketing can do.
9. Blackened drum
K-Paul's, New Orleans, LA. I was expecting mediocrity but hoping for greatness with this meal. I got what I expected. I have four of Prudhomme's cookbooks and was looking forward to the use of herbs and spices to "really complement and push up the flavors of a dish". I have blackened black drum (puppy drum), redfish, striped bass, and rockfish at home, and I enjoyed my results as much or better than the authentic version. The fish was a bit crispier on the outside at K-Paul's, but the flesh itself was on the rare side of cooked. Instead of being white and flakey (but not dried out), it was almost translucent and slightly chewy. The flavor was about the same (not surprising, since I use Prudhomme's spice mixture at home). Overall, I felt that quality took a back seat to quantity. The amount of food and calories was large (the butter at the bottom of the plate congealed before I finished the drum filet) but the seasoning and preparation were not particularly special.
10. Fried blue cat
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. Similar to yellow cat; maybe I'm biased by the locals preference for yellow cat; they say it is less fatty and cleaner than blue cat.
11. Fried buffalo ribs
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. Similar to carp ribs, but fattier, with a stronger flavor.
12. Redfish with crabmeat stuffing
Jocelyn's, Ocean Springs, MS. Large filet of fish topped with a crabmeat stuffing.
I am not a great fan of stuffing in general, and I did not really notice the crab. Most of the fish was moist and tender, but parts tasted old.
13. Filet de truite Pontchartrain
Antoine's, New Orleans, LA. A generous serving of crabmeat over a trout filet. Unfortunately the fish was bland and watery. The crab was not as sweet and flavorful as other preparations. Midway through the meal, the waitress gave a speech about the history of Antoine's, saying that their goal is for the exact same food to be available in fifty years. I hope not—I hope it gets better.
14. Fried thin catfish
Middendorf's, Manchac, LA. To paraphrase Clara Peller of Wendy's fame, "Where's the fish?" Touted as the best fried catfish in New Orleans, I am bewildered by this opinion. If I wanted fried cornmeal, I would order a tortilla chip. I get better catfish from the steam table at the cafeteria at work. Extremely thin shards of fish overwhelmed by a fried cornmeal coating. Don't get me wrong—when done right, I really enjoy fat and carbohydrates (potato chips, beignets, etc). I could perhaps see the appeal of this dish—crispy fish chips. Unfortunately, rather than being light and crispy, they were greasy. The first bites were OK, but the greasiness soon overwhelmed me. Even though I was hungry, I could not finish this dish. I hope this was simply a bad day in the kitchen. The fish itself was farmed, and the scant amount of fish in each chip had the distinctive taste of freshwater fish (muddiness if you will; I don't mind this flavor, but there was a difference between this fish and the fish from Simmesport). The French fries, though average, were the best part of the plate; my wife thought that the hush puppies tasted like cardboard. On the positive side, the salad and turtle soup were nice, and the service from our grandmotherly waitress was very good. I will not be back to try the thick catfish.
15. Fried goo
Family Grill, Simmesport, LA. The first fish cooked, stored in the oven while everything else was prepared. It was dry, hard, and strongly fishy. Probably would have been better if I had listened to my hostess and eaten it fresh out of the fryer.
re: alfredck
Thanks for the report. I'm glad you found some of the more obscure dishes you were looking for. My only question regards the "yellow cat." I've never heard of yellow cat before and neither had my mother. Growing up, we commonly caught channel and blue cat and considered those to be the best eating. Perhaps yellow is another name for a channel cat. And I'm not sure what type they raise in ponds. Anyway, glad you had a good trip.
re: N.O.Food
Yellow cat is another name for the flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) also known as the opelousas. It is a large, predatory fish that feeds on smaller fish. I don't know if it's the tastiest catfish, but it sure was good.
re: N.O.Food
N.O. Food, ooollddd response, but since you're still an active poster, channel cats are raised in ponds.
re: James Cristinian
Cool. Just saw alfred's post about Opelousas Catfish, which I am familiar with. Just never heard them referred to as yellow cat. Also good to know about channel cats being raised in ponds. Learn something new every day.
re: N.O.Food
Yes I've heard yellow cat, and I'll throw in another one, shovelhead, for it's flat head. Alfredck is spot on about the bait, you won't catch them on stinkbait, they eat live bait such as perch, sunfish, bluegill, or whatever other names for panfish.
re: N.O.Food
The yellow catfish is called goujon by the French speaking people. The blue or channel catfish is called barbue, for its whiskers.
re: alfredck
This incredibly thorough report inspired to drive well over 100 miles out of the way to visit this magical place called Family Grill, with a record number of rarely seen fish varieties. But most of these were not on the menu. I got the garfish sandwich - other than catfish, none of these other items was listed. Were these specials that day or did you have to know someone?
re: jerseyguy2000
I'm sorry about the extremely late reply, but I only now noticed this post. I called the Family Grill well ahead of time and explained that I wanted to try as many local fishes as possible. I even went to the nearby fish markets to pick up some of the catch. The very sweet owner went out of her way to prepare a feast. Funny, it seemed like some of the locals had no desire to eat these "trash fish". I hope the garfish was tasty.

Didn't The Implants Come Out?
September 12, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
Jenna Jameson had her implants taken out, because she felt they were too big and wanted to change her "porn" image. I still see implants and saggy ones at that! She should've kept the old implants, because they knew the real Jenna. The new implants haven't gotten to know her and are judging a book by its cover, so they are trying to make a run for it. I don't blame them.
Jenna was the star attraction at the Heatherette show last night. Come on…the real star attraction was Amanda Lepore. Upstaged by tranny, Jenna! It happens everytime. You know Baby Huey wanted to tap those tranny nuts by the end of the night.
Below is Jenna, Amanda and Heatherette designers Richie Rich and Travor Rains. Richie totally looks like that Britaloonie from yesterday!

Supreme Court asks Haryana for status report on Reliance SEZ
The Supreme Court Thursday asked Haryana to file the latest status report on Reliance Haryana SEZ (Special Economic Zone) for which 1,383 acres of land in Gurgaon was earmarked.
The apex court bench of Chief Justice P. Sathasivam, Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Shiva Kirti Singh asked Haryana to file the report after it observed that Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation has not even filed its response to the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) by Kuldip Bishnoi, who had challenged the central as well as Haryana SEZ Act.
Kuldip Bishnoi is a leader of the Haryana Vikas Party, and son of former Haryana chief minister late Bhajan Lal.
The court order came when senior counsel Amarender Saran told the court that Reliance had withdrawn from the project, and the 1,383 acres of land for the proposed SEZ has been returned to the state government.
The central government had given in-principle approval for the SEZ June 6, 2006, and it was notified Nov 11, 2007.
Haryana, by allocating 1,383.68 acres of land, picked up 30 percent stake in the SEZ, which then came to be known as Reliance Haryana SEZ. The allotment was made from about 12,000 acres acquired by the state government in Gurgaon in 2003.
Reliance, however, offered to return the land Jan 17, 2012, and it was de-notified June 12, 2013.
Besides challenging the transfer of the 1,383.68 acres to Reliance Haryana SEZ, Kuldip Bishnoi also contended this land was part of a green belt, and could not be used for any other purpose.
Haryana said that by the subsequent NCR Regional Plans, the land use had been changed and it could now be used to set up industries.

So what he said does make sense. We all know we should wait to date someone until they've been divorced and healed for awhile, but who really does that? Is pouncing while she's available the way to go?

That's funny I was talking to someone about this yesterday. There's this very handsome, very intelligent guy who's wife just filed divorce papers(she's having an affair). I've mentioned, since learning this, that I've always been attracted to him. His career is in public service so I can go and see him whenever I feel like it. However, that seems tacky to me. Plus, he's devastated, naturally.
Then we were discussing someone else, who began dating just weeks after his wife died of complications from MS. He married a year later.
If this friend of yours is willing to take on all that baggage, then I'd tell him to go for it. I just don't know how enjoyable it would be dating someone who just left an unhappy marriage and is now faced with a divorce.
|Sun, 01-29-2012 - 11:09am
I'm pretty sure there's no universal answer. I think the unhealthier mentally the person getting the divorce is, the faster they latch on to the "next thing".
|Sun, 01-29-2012 - 2:25am
I'm actually looking forward to hearing what happens with this one. The last girl he "dated" we referred to as "crazy chick" for a very good reason. Those stories were good entertainment!

Does Hamlet display the Oedipus complex?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Hamlet's character is a very complex one and many would say that he does, indeed, display characteristics of the Oedipus complex. From his first appearance and his soliloquy in Act 1, sc 2, Hamlet laments the marriage of his mother to his uncle. He tells us in his soliloquy in this scene that he's upset because his mother remarried so soon after his father's death and that she married her husband's brother (in the eyes of the church, a woman married a man's family as well as the individual, therefore, Claudius was her brother in that sense, hence the reference to "incestuous sheets"). Even Gertrude recognizes the source of Hamlet's unhappiness, when in Act 2, sc. 2, when she says she has no doubt the source is her "o'er hasty marriage." In Act 3, sc. 4, when Hamlet confronts Gertrude in her chamber after the play, the emotion he's been bottling up, explodes. Hamlet rants at this mother for her marriage to Claudius. He questions how could she stand to let him touch her. He asks her what she sees in Claudius. This exchange seems to show Hamlet just a little too emotional over his his mother simply remarrying. Some read into the scene the lustful love of a youth for his mother, but there is nothing definitive to the words spoken by Hamlet. Considering the fact that he has discovered his father's ghost told him correctly his uncle killed his father and he's just killed Polonius, it is normal for him to be emotional.
I think it makes some sense. first, he starts to doubt about the worth of life and Ophelia's love that is indeed pure and deep, his mother's remarry made him cast the whole world into the shadow. It really makes people feel strange how his mother could display such a big impact on him.second , hamlet is a thinker rather than a single minded revenger, he is always hesitated on action, but in his mother's chamber, In Act 3, sc. 4, he just killed Polonius without thinking, and the single minded blood action is just against his characteristic. In a word, his unusual behavior towards his mother shows, to some degree, the Oedipus complex in him.

With the Suns' season over and the offseason already in full swing as the team searches for a new general manager and a head coach, questions are aplenty. So instead of the traditional 5-on-5 to recap the season, we're going to — like the Suns — start from scratch and work through five 5-on-1 sessions. Because if you can't run an offense during a walk-through with a coach, no chance it's working against five defenders.
Let's not even get into how much we all overestimated the Suns — even the admittedly negative Dave Dulberg overshot the win total estimation — but what's one word to sum up the year?
Michael Schwartz: Transition. We all knew this was coming, right? We may have all been overly bullish on the Suns, but before the season I posed the question of which team was definitively going to be worse than the Suns in the West? Perhaps Sacramento, maybe New Orleans, even possibly Houston before the Rockets pulled the trigger on the James Harden deal. But unlike in prior years when the Suns were a lock to at least battle for a playoff spot, they seemed to need some good fortune just to stay out of the West cellar.
With the way the last few years were spent trying to fine tune a Steve Nash roster to get as close to the playoffs as possible without any star successor on the roster, we knew it could get ugly when Mr. Two Time finally left town, and of course it was. Every team cycles through losing seasons eventually, even a team like the Suns with the fourth-best winning percentage in NBA history (I at least think that's still the case). This year will be known as Year 1 post-Nash and the start of the rebuilding project.
Ryan Weisert: Necessary. After an incredible four-year run which redefined the franchise, the Seven Seconds or Less Suns were slowly dismantled. First Shawn Marion was traded away for Shaquille O'Neal. Then coach Mike D'Antoni bolted for New York. Then, following their miraculous run to the Western Conference Finals, the Suns let Amare Stoudemire walk. Through all of those losses, Steve Nash almost single-handedly kept the Suns close to contention. But his efforts served only to prop up a house of cards. The Suns were always going to collapse in the wake of the SSOL-era. That style of play required specific personnel and vision to execute. Once key players started to leave, the system started to crumble. The fact that it took five years for it to completely fall apart is a testament to Nash and former coach Alvin Gentry.
This hard fall, though painful for everyone associated with the team to endure, was necessary and inevitable. Now the franchise can find a new identity and move in a positive direction. Unless the lottery balls fall against them, the Suns should have a Top 5 pick in the upcoming draft. They have cap space and a few pieces, like Goran Dragic, to build around. So long as this abysmal season hasn't ruined the team mentally, the Suns, having taken their licks, are definitely in a position to improve next year.
Kevin Zimmerman: Directionless. As great as tanking is for the future and as expected as it might've been, the Suns didn't treat the post-Nash era like things would go this way. There was accumulation of assets and the open belief that Phoenix could be somewhat competitive. Though the Suns aren't exactly the youngest of teams, there was somehow discussions about player development and a head coach, Alvin Gentry, who was going to go down swinging — by playing his veterans. Then, the Suns brought in Lindsey Hunter and still took a good chunk of time to finally admit that it was time to call it a lottery-bound year.
The confusing decisions and poor handling of everything from Gentry's firing to the Shannon Brown playing time debacle sent a confusing message to fans and even the Suns players. In the end, all that might have been the basic reasoning behind the parting from general manager Lance Blanks. The end of the Nash era was easy to criticize and, to be fair, hard to conduct. But to call the 2013-14 season the first year of a rebuild seems contradictory to what happened this past season.
Dave Dulberg: Necessary. Whether they want to admit it or not, the Suns front office wasn't really rebuilding these past few years. With a roster good enough to compete for the No. 8 spot out West and back-to-back No. 13 picks in the NBA Draft, the Suns were more or less floundering on the fringe of being competitive and on the fringe of rebuilding.
With likely a top-5 pick, a new GM and potentially a new head coach, the Suns can finally start planning for their future. The team was bad, even by my preseason standards, but they needed to be. And sadly, they'll likely need to be again in 2013-14.
There's no guarantee they end up like Memphis or Oklahoma City at the end of the process, but in a star-driven league, unless you can somehow acquire one in free agency/trade, the best place to look is the draft. Well, most drafts that is.
Matt Petersen: Painful. Planet Orange was in for a rough year, but I don't think anyone thought 2012-13 would be the embarrassing plummet that it was. Other than Goran Dragic, everyone performed worse than hoped, particularly the high-profile "x-factor", Michael Beasley.
The consolation prize: After years of slow deterioration, a lot of fans got the tank job they wanted. A potential top-3 pick would go a long way toward soothing fans' frustrations. Still, it's hard to have confidence in a franchise that hasn't nailed (or kept) a good draft pick since Amare Stoudemire way back in 2002.
Either way, the reputation of the Suns as a franchise has gone from a source of pride to a source of shaking heads around the league, which may be the biggest reason fans are irate with management right now.

Sweden has thousands of kilometers of hiking trails. The majority leads through the low, often sparsely populated regions. The landscape certainly isn't all stereotype forests and lakes, but also many places of cultural historical interest, towns, villages and countryside.
Trails are well documented and marked, and often looked after by local communities. There are huts, mostly self-service, where you can warm up by a wood-burning stove, dry your clothes and stay overnight. Hundreds of youth hostels are spread about the country, as are many small campsites popular with hikers. Maps of long distance trails are available locally. Do not expect to meet up with hordes of other hikers, and bring enough food. Walking in these low regions is good from early spring until late autumn.
Swedish mountains are a different story altogether. This is rough country, so count on alpine circumstances, and plan your walk between halfway June and halfway September. Most famous is Kungsleden, a trail up north in Lapland. It has existed for almost one hundred years and leads you up Swedens highest mountaintops. More mountainous areas are to be found further south, along the border with Norway. The STF, Swedish Tourist Club, has mountain huts at regular intervals in all these regions.
If all this isn't challenging enough for you, try roaming freely through the Lapland wilderness, without trails or huts, for instance in Sarek National Park.

In response to:
No, the grunts won´t go away; we will just train them all to be "special operations capable" as has done the USMC. Before formulating an opinion, research the definition of "special operations" and then consider "capable"
Monday night's final 2012 presidential election debate included a brief but fierce naval battle. The candidates exchanged close-combat broadsides over the size of the U.S. Navy, then fired provocative salvos in the direction of two complex subjects, the capabilities of modern weapons and the deleterious effects of funding cuts required by sequestration on the defense budget, especially planned ship-building programs.
Gov. Mitt Romney opened the engagement. "Our Navy is smaller now than at any time since 1917. The Navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission. We're now under 285. We're headed down to the low 200s if...

Sunday, January 20, from 1:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. RSVP on Facebook!
The Saint Louis Galleria. We'll meet at the parking lot next to The Cheesecake Factory, collect the donated items, and then head inside. This will be a fairly laid-back event, and is pretty much just an excuse for us all to hang out and get a bit of exercise walking around the mall.
The Galleria is open until 6:00 P.M. on Sundays, and The Cheesecake Factory itself is open until 11:00 P.M. Those who have their own transportation (and have permission, or are old enough that they don't need it) are certainly welcome to hang out longer!
Anyone who's being picked up by their parent or guardian can expect to be back at The Cheesecake Factory entrance by 4:00 P.M.
This Can Town meetup will be collecting for the Collinsville Area Food Pantry. Please bring cake mix, frosting, icing, sprinkles, chocolate chips, and anything else that could be used to make baked goods. Contrary to what I thought when I ran the first Can Town at ASTL, the food pantry does need these items, as needy families obviously want to be able to celebrate birthdays and other special events and often can't afford to do so.
DAD EGBERT WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU, and so am I!
Please either eat lunch before attending, or plan to pay for a meal while you're at The Galleria.
Email me (cantownstlouis [AT] gmail [DOT] com) or send me an ask!

If you put the flames to my feet and made me pick a scenario for the Vikings on draft day, I would say they will trade down and pick defense in the first, then take Zach Mettenberger in the second.
This is the impression I've formed over the past couple weeks, and for all I know it's an impression that is deliberately being created by Rick Spielman as he attempts to mask his true intentions.
For all I know, there could be a different quarterback on Spielman's mind. Maybe Fresno State's Derek Carr?
Eric Galko is getting the impression that the Vikings are high on Carr as well. He wrote in his state of the draft piece for Optimum Scouting:
The Vikings have been most frequently linked to Zach Mettenberger in round two, but they'll strongly consider Derek Carr if he's available at #8 overall. Don't be surprised if Carr goes above Manziel, and potentially is the first quarterback taken.
FWIW, Todd McShay gave the Vikings Johnny Manziel at #8 in his last mock, so McShay is not convinced by the Mettenberger scenario either.
Whether the Vikings end up with Carr or Manziel in the first, or Mettenberger in the second, it seems likely that they will take a quarterback in the first two rounds.
Rick Spielman wants to get this QB situation sewn up this year and not defer it until 2015. Even though Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston may both be available in 2015.
Like I said, I still think it will be Mettenberger. But that could easily change.

The University of the West of England (abbrev. UWE, often pronounced "you-we") is a university based in the English city of Bristol. Its main campus is at Frenchay, about five miles (8 km) north of the city centre. UWE also has a smaller campus at St Matthias, a School of Health and Social Care at Glenside in north-east Bristol and the School of Creative Arts, located at Bower Ashton, near Ashton Court in south-west Bristol. There are also regional centres in Bath and Swindon, and an associate faculty specialising in animal behaviour and welfare, agricultural and sports related courses in Hartpury, Gloucestershire. This satellite college has staged the European Young Rider Championship, a horse riding competition. Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is an associate school of the Faculty of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences. With around 30,000 students and 3,000 academic staff, UWE is the larger of the two universities in the city (the longer established University of Bristol has approximately 18,000 students). 86% of students at UWE are from state schools.

Mrs. de Winter
by Susan Hill
Mrs. de Winter
by Author Name Susan Hill
- Book details for title
- List Price: €12.80
- Format: Paperback, 198 x 129 x 19mm, 304pp
- Publication date: 02 Sep 1999
- Publisher: Vintage
Rebecca was Daphne du Maurier's most famous and best-loved novel. Countless readers wondered: what happened next? Out of fire-wracked ruins of Manderley, would love and renewal rise phoenix-like from the ashes of the embittered past? Married to the sophisticated, wordly-wise Maxim, the second Mrs de Winter's life should be happy and fulfilled. But the vengeful ghost of Rebecca, Maxim's first wife, continues to cast its long shadow over them. Back in England after an absence of over ten years, it seems as if happiness will at last be theirs. But the de Winters still have to reckon with two hate-consumed figures they once knew - both of whom have very long memories...
"Retains all the brooding menace and enigmatic mystery of the original" Daily Mail "The oustanding virtue of Mrs de Winter is the elegance of its style... Susan Hill, winner of both the Somerset Maugham and Whitbread prizes, ignores the lush emotionalism of the original, sacrificing psychological menace for a fresh, modest lyricism which suits both her story and her times...dignified and respectful" Independent "Splendid... A very good ghost story" -- Beryl Bainbridge Evening Standard "Susan Hill's imagination is a force to be reckoned with" The Times "Done excellently, with professionalism and panache" Sunday Times

Instagramming from North Korea, with @dguttenfelder
See more of David's photos from the DPRK by following him on Instagram: @dguttenfelder.
It's not every day that you see first-hand scenes from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and you'll almost never see an Instagram Photo Map with images posted directly from Pyongyang.
David Guttenfelder (@dguttenfelder), the Associated Press Chief Photographer for Asia, is doing just that: sharing photos on Instagram while on assignment in North Korea. "I feel I can help open a window into a place that would otherwise rarely be seen by outsiders," he says. "As one of the few international photographers who has ever had regular access to the country, I feel a huge responsibility to share what I see and to show it as accurately as I can."
David is one of the first people to ever post real-time Instagram pictures from within North Korea. Most visitors to the DPRK don't have access to internet and—until just a few weeks ago—foreigners were not allowed to bring mobile phones into the country. Now David can share personal iPhone and iPod Touch photos to Instagram as he captures them. "There are so many curious, strangely beautiful, or melancholy details around us here…These might not be typical of the news photos I usually transmit, but they offer fleeting glimpses of this country, and how it feels to be here."
A photo of an elderly couple showing a man holding up flashcards led to more than 2 million hits on Instagram and left many wanting to know the story behind the picture.
83-year-old John Allen takes his 70-year-old girlfriend, Linda Alexander, for coffee six days a week where he teaches her how to read, after bleeding in her brain left her without short term memory, and unable to read or speak.
I'll be putting them up as soon as I can get them edited and such. Though I did put up a few from Instagram earlier.

A hot topic in my city, and I argue that they're not necessarily a bad thing:
In some cases, the community school may be best for a student, but I don't see it as a hard and fast rule. The education of the child should always be the first and foremost duty of the school system. You can't offer every program at every school, and for this reason magnet schools and specialized programs which will draw kids away from their "community school" are important.
