This is (allegegly) one of the signs Daniel Snyder doesn't likeBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 28, 2009
If Daniel Snyder has a problem with a sign like this, then I hope the Redskins never win a Super Bowl while he owns the team. He seriously owes an apology to the Men and Women in our Armed services and their families over this one. He also needs to get his cranium out of his rectum. (Pardon my French)(via Deadspin)
Kyle Busch tops for NASCAR trick-or-TreatersBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 28, 2009
Apparently Kyle Busch is more popular than anyone thought. From the Marbles reports that Busch leads other NASCAR racers in Halloween costume sales. It seems a little strange, until you remember that Busch drives the number 18 car sponsored by M&M's. See the connection? It makes a lot more sense kids would want to wear a faux fire-suit with M&M's on it than say Office Depot or Lowe's.(via From the Marbles)
Time for a Real World/Road Rules Bully BeatdownBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 28, 2009
Real World/Road Rules: The Ruins is really starting to hit its stride. For those not in the know, this is the MTV show where alumni of the various Real World and (now defunct) Road Rules seasons get together to compete for cash and squeeze every last minute of their fifteen minutes of fame.There are usually one or two people on each season who stir up trouble to either ahead in the game or because of complex interpersonal issues that develop season after season. They pretty much bully around other, a occasionally a punch or two are thrown. I think its time these guys show up on another MTV show: Bully Beatdown. In this one worthless schmucks get to send a bully that's making their lives a living you-know-what get to send said bully up against a professional MMA fighter. Seems like a perfect place to give some of these Real World/Road Rulers an attitude adjustment.The most egregious RW/RRers to throw in the cage:CT TamburelloWay too obvious of a choice, but he may be the most notorious of the RW/RR bullies. He's been kicked off twice for punching other cast members. Besides that, he has more issues than a Barnes and Noble magazine rack.Wes BergmannThe other obvious choice. Wes came on The Ruins with romance issues (he was engaged to Johanna Botta, but she kinda cheated on him on The Island). He was also complaining a lot at the start about fairness (see below) for picking who got sent into The Ruins elimination challenge, but that was more for reasons more selfish than altruistic. Wes only thinks about himself. He's also very combustible. He also gets in a lot of shouting matches with other people.Evan StarkmanI like Evan, but he is an absolute schemer. He's been trying to get Wes off his team since the competition. On top of that he's a Grade-A button pusher. His little stunt with putting a plunger in Katie's bed is slowly becoming an internet meme. I hate to do it, but Evan could use a few rounds with an MMA fighter due to that one.
[BLEEP] YOU MASCOT: Penn State Nittany LionBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 28, 2009
Hey there, Nittany Lion. Do you even have a name? Colleges usually give their costumed mascots cute little names like Buzz, or Goldie, or Hairy. But you, you're just The Nittany Lion or "The Lion" apparently. Penn State doesn't give you much love do they?They sure haven't done much for your complexion there, buddy. You look old and ratty there. That costume looks straight out of 1966, but then with Joe Paterno as coach that's not surprising. He's not really one for keeping up with the times, you know. Boring uniforms with boring white helmets. A mascot who looks like an old, cheaply made teddy bear from the county fair seems appropriate.And the Doctor Who scarf? Sorry, that's not doing anything to hide the truth. Buddy, you need a makeover. That suit there looks like it came straight from a second rate costume shop. I've seen better looking homemade costumes at sci-fi conventions, for cryin' out loud!Seriously, you need an upgrade there. I'm afraid that's going to have to wait until after JoePa hangs his clipboard up though. Modern day mascots need to look sleek and athletic. You, Nittany Lion? You look kinda whimpy.(with apologies to Matthew Gasteier)
Gophergate continues to curse Minnesota?By Juan Cena in SWRT on October 27, 2009
Things are starting to go downhill real fast at Minnesota since their mascot, Goldie Gopher decided to poke fun at praying Penn State DE Jerome Hayes. The team's been 0-2 since the Oct. 17 game versus Penn State. Now word comes that wide receiver Eric Decker's out for the remainder of the regular season due to a foot injury. If I were Minnesota I'd start looking for a new cosplayer to put in that gopher suit. That or call in that Creek medicine man/Baptist preacher who was sent in to de-curse Talladega. (I talked to one of the staff at Church about that one. He doubted the compatibility of holding both roles too)(via EDSBS and Twincities.com )
Jay Cutler's like would suck without Kelly ClarksonBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 27, 2009
Here's another reason Bears' fans should be proud of Jay Cutler. He was spotted at a local radio station promotion where the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson performed a five song acoustic set. There's a Vanderbilt joke around here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Cutler at a Kelly Clarkson concert does seem to punch a few holes in Kissing Suzie Kolber's well crafted image of the Chicago qb as a sulking, emo-boy. Then again, maybe it doesn't.As for Cutler's ex-team, the 6-0 Denver Broncos? I get the feeling this is the Kelly Clarkson song they're singing these days regarding the whole breakup with Cutler.(via The Big Lead)
RAW is NASCARBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 27, 2009
Celebrity guest general managers on RAW have to be the lamest idea the Vince McMahon ever came up with. With the possible exception of the Gobbledy Gooker. And the Katie Vick mess. And the proposed WWE cable network. And...Anyhow, last night's RAW featured NASCAR racers Kyle Busch and Joey Logano as the guest general managers of the night. There's only one reason for this: they're the only racers/race WWE could get to promote the new Smackdown Vs. RAW video game. Okay, maybe it makes sense for Logano to promote it because Game Stop is one of his sponsors. But really, WWE could've done a little better. Why not try to get Jeff Gordon or Carl Edwards to host RAW? Or mabye Tony Stewart?Maybe Vince should have been more willing to spend a little more to nap a bigger NASCAR driver's hood.(via From the Marbles)
Jay Mariotti proves my pointBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 27, 2009
I told you this would happen. Just a couple of days after posting this little rant Jay Mariotti goes and does what I say would happen. His own long-winded rant about a late October/early November World Series and what's wrong with the MLB.Least.Shocking.Tirade.Ever.But it's like I said. The Yankees knew they're going to play in months with cooler temperatures and bad weather. And they still didn't compensate by putting a retractable roof on their new billion dollar temple to their own avarice stadium. Maybe its MLB's fault that retractable roofs on new stadiums aren't a requirement. It would certainly help cut down on rain-outs and snow-outs. But owners should be smart enough to figure it out on their own.(via Fanhouse)
Are the Boston Celtics xenophobic?By Juan Cena in SWRT on October 27, 2009
Interbasket.Net has come out with a list of the Most Xenophobic NBA Teams. And by "Xenophobic" they mean teams that are lacking significant numbers of international players. At the top of the list are the Boston Celtics, which shouldn't shock anyone who remembers the Celtics of Bird, Ainge, and McHale. The Knicks, Pacers, Heat and Wizards round out the list.That there are teams with little or no international players shouldn't be a shock. In reality international players are in many ways like players who jumped from high school to the NBA. Sure there's LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and some other notables. But there have been quite a number of players who probably could've used a little more time in the oven and played a year or two in college (Kwame Brown, anyone?). It's the same with international players. A few international players like Pau Gasol and Tony Parker have been successful and helped their teams win championships. But then there are international stars like Yao Ming or Dirk Nowitzki who made names for themselves, but still don't have a championship ring to show for it.It may be good to have international players on an NBA team, but it doesn't guarantee success.(via Ball Don't Lie)
Enough with the "I Told You So's"to Sam BradfordBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 26, 2009
It seems telling Sam Bradford "I told you so" has been in fashion since he originally injured his shoulder, and twice as much as when he re-injured it in the Red River Shootout against Texas. The self-congratulatory crowd of media who said he should have bailed from college last year after winning the Heisman Trophy are now in absolute self-righteous mode. Talk abounds of the millions Bradford gave up this year staying at Oklahoma.The latest: Deadspin's headline reading "Sam Bradford Reminds You Not to Stay In School, Kids."It points an article written by Dallas Morning News columnist Chuck Carlton, referring to Bradford as a "cautionary tale" for future juniors who could jump from college to the NFL Draft.Gee, a columnist in Texas criticizing the moves of a quarterback from Oklahoma. What are the odds of that? I wonder what Mr. Carlton thinks of Colt McCoy's making the same "stay in school" move Bradford made? Or if McCoy was the one who ended up injured?Just lay off Bradford. He wanted to win a championship this year for Oklahoma. He knew what he was doing. He was closer to winning a championship for the Sooners than he probably ever would if he was picked Number One by The Detroit Lions (how's your season been, Matthew Stafford?). Being known as a champion last a lot longer than wealth does in many cases.And don't feel sorry about Bradford's future financial situation. If surgery goes well he won't fall too far in the NFL Draft. The worst he could do would be to land on a winning team and end up as back-up for a few years. Besides, Bradford's a finance major. He should be able to manage whatever feeble millions he gets from the NFL, and probably better than some of those juniors who skipped graduating.(via Deadspin)
SEC slaps Lane Kiffin's wrist...again.By Juan Cena in SWRT on October 26, 2009
Despite all his awkwardness when it comes to living by the byzantine rules of the NCAA, Kiffin is going to be a good-to excellent coach for the Tennessee. We should enjoy these of mocking Lane Kiffin's missteps as a young head football coach for the Vols while we can.Kiffin's latest Brittney moment: The SEC has reprimanded Kiffin for criticizing the referees during the Vols' loss to Alabama. The reason this time for knocking the refs? Because they didn't call an unsportsmanlike conduct on Terrence Cody for throwing his helmet after blocking that last-second field goal attempt. Like the refs were going to call that one after the excessive celebration calls in the past few weeks.Still, this does bring up the growing pains of a (relatively) young head football coach. The learning curve is steeper in the SEC than it would be in a less significant school. Though a pattern is emerging where I can see Kiffin getting canned not for on-the-field success or lack thereof, but from off the field issues such as massive recruiting violations, or just rubbing the wrong people the wrong way at Tennessee.(via rivals.com)
Cleveland hurts itself with Benching Brady QuinnBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 26, 2009
Charles Robinson writes in his Winners and Losers column for Yahoo! Sports about the team in the NFL currently impersonating the Cleveland Browns. They wear the Browns' colors and claim to uphold the traditions of the original Browns. But there nary a connection between this team and the original that moved to Baltimore and mutated into the Ravens.The latest part of the "Browns" debacle concerns the team's apparent benching of Brady Quinn over money issues. By not putting Quinn on the field, the team saves allegedly saves about $10.6 million they'd have to pay out in salary escalators written into Quinn's contract. Meanwhile the "Browns" continue to lose with Derek Anderson as qb.Whatever money the "Browns" are saving, it's probably not worth it in the end. It looks like they're going to have to look for another quarterback as early as next season (especially if they manage to trade Quinn away). If I were that qb's agent, I'd be sure to get as much up front money as possible, and avoid the incentives trap, since the "Browns" don't seem to be willing to pay them out. Expect the contract negotiations for Cleveland's next "quarterback of the future" to be as contentious as the ones for Quinn.(via Charles Robinson's Winners and Losers)
Are Georgia Tech students Zombies?By Juan Cena in SWRT on October 25, 2009
Every Day Should Be Saturday's mythical weekly magazine EDSBS The magazine just came out with it's latest "edition". Among the stories this week is "ZomBees. Georgia Tech will. Not. Die."The funny thing is, apparently the North Avenue Trade School's Department of Housing held a zombie-themed seminar about survival skills. this fall. Called "Watch Out for Zombies" appropriately enough, helped Techie students in such areas such as Urban Survival, Outdoor Survival, Financial Survival, etc. And then:The evening concluded with residents sharing their knowledge of zombie movies and how to survive in the event of a zombie attack!(By the way, the GT student newsletter The Technique's website doesn't seem to have any sort of vi sable search engine on it. The Red and Black over at UGA has a search engine. Heck the student newspaper at Gainesville State College has a search engine, for cryin' out loud! How the frak does it happen at a place called THE GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ?)Anyhow, zombies are so Two Thousand and Late. What you really need to be on lookout for are Black Lanterns. You think you don't have anything to worry about? Wait to you see the awesomeness of... Black Lantern Ted Williams!(via EDSBS)
[BLEEP] YOU, MASCOT: Goldie GopherBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 25, 2009
Hey there, Goldie Gopher! Why the happy face and smug "thumbs up"? Didn't somebody at the University of Minnesota tell you your team sucks? The Golden Gophers are 4-4, with two straight losses. In fact, this little micro-losing streak since you decided to pull this little stunt:I'll say it again: The Golden Gophers are 0-2 after this little stunt. Coincidence? There's more synchronicity here than you can find at the bottom of a dark Scottish lake if that's the case.Look Goldie, you just messed up. Minnesota's official spokesman even said so. You should be so lucky that Jerome Hayes wasn't praying toward Mecca or performing some other non-Christian religious act. The leftists in the humanities department would be parading your big gopher costume head the around the humanities building on a pike (or maybe just a broomstick. Pikes are too violent for leftists). And that sorry human inside you would've been expelled.
Who's to blame for the ALCS rainout? The YankeesBy Juan Cena in SWRT on October 25, 2009
After yesterday's rain-out of of Game 6 of the ALCS in New York you can expect to hear a lot of complaining about how messed up baseball is. It's going to be the usual complaint you hear this time of year. The season's too long, it stretches into cold weather months, etc. Just a lot of tired old shots at Bud Selig that aren't going to be seriously dealt with anytime soon.Do you know who's really to blame for the rain-out. The Yankees. Why, you ask? Because they spent a billion or so and forgot to put a retractable roof on the dang thing.The Yanks knew going into this construction that the team would be playing in at least one month of the year where weather would be an issue (April), and in good years they would see play in either one or two more months in the post-season (October and November). Add in the uncontrollable rain-out during the spring and summer, and you can imagine where a roof or a retractable roof would be useful.Add to that the one subject you can guarantee will come up when the Yankees are mentioned: money. I don't know how much it costs the Yanks for each rain-out, but I guess it's a lot. If not from the games themselves then from revenue lost from the broadcasts on YES that have to be scrubbed. And I'm sure ESPN and FOX can't be too happy with the loss of income from bad weather either. Do you really think Rupert Murdoch really wanted to show a Yankee game tonight? He'd probably make more money showing Simpsons and Family Guy reruns tonight. (There's a reason why FOX passed on renewing the BCS contract. It was probably a money loser.)Besides, no roof means that the Yanks will be losing potential money from non-use in the off-season. Yeah, there's the Yankee Bowl. But guess what Bowl probably won't be in Yankee Stadium? Yep, The Super Bowl. (It won't be going into the new Meadowlands Stadium either. Nice job there too, Jets and Giants). Don't give me the "Super Bowls in cold weather cities suck" crap, either. There is a difference between NYC in the winter and Detroit in the winter. There just is. Deal with it.As much as Jerry Jones is slammed for the excesses of The Heathen Temple to Jones' Avarice Cowboys Stadium, he's still going to make money from indoor events during the off-season. The NBA All-Star Game will be coming to Cowboys Stadium in 2010. The NCAA Final Four will be coming to Cowboys Stadium in 2014. Expect a few more Final Fours in the years afterwards. And oh yeah, Super Bowl XLV will be coming to Jerryworld in 2011. Yankee Stadium will just be standing fallow waiting for baseball season (Yankee Bowl and the occasional NHL outdoor game notwithstanding). Winner: Jerrah.

Berklee Global Jazz Institute and NEA Jazz Masters Live Present Pianist/Composer Randy Weston

Berklee Global Jazz Institute and NEA Jazz Masters Live Present Pianist/Composer Randy Weston in Concert and Conversation at the Boston Public Library and Berklee, Sept 28 – 29 Free Events Focus on Weston's African Influences BOSTON, September 15, 2011 – The Berklee Global Jazz Institute and NEA Jazz Masters Live present Randy Weston: Storyteller, two days of music and conversation with the world renowned pianist and composer whose music is deeply inspired by his African heritage. NEA Jazz Master Weston will base his presentations on the autobiography African Rhythms at the Boston Public Library on September 28 and at Berklee College of Music on September 29. The events are free and open to the public. Seating available on a first-come basis. At the Boston Public Library on September 28, in the Rabb Lecture Hall, at 6:30 p.m., Weston will perform with his trio and read from African Rhythms. He'll sign books following the program. At Berklee's David Friend Recital Hall, 921 Boylston Street, on September 29, at 2:00 p.m., Weston discusses his life and music in the clinic Musician as Storyteller. Topics will include his spiritual connection to African ancestors and jazz's African roots. This special series is sponsored by the Global Jazz Institute at Berklee College of Music and supported by NEA Jazz Masters Live, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest that celebrates the living legends who have made exceptional contributions to the advancement of jazz. For more information, visit neajazzmasters.org. Berklee Global Jazz Institute Artistic Director Danilo Perez envisions the residency as a public celebration of Weston as an artist and a showcase for his piano mastery. "Randy Weston, a true keeper of the African heritage for over six decades, is one of the few living legends of jazz history," says Perez. "His piano sound speaks loud and clear the message of cultural diversity, globalization, and the importance of Africa in the history of jazz music." After contributing six decades of musical direction and genius, NEA Jazz Master Weston remains one of the world's foremost pianists and composers, a true innovator and visionary. Many of his compositions, such as "Hi Fly" and "Berkshire Blues," are considered jazz standards. The Brooklyn-born Weston spent most of his illustrious career combining the rich music of the African continent with the African-American tradition of jazz, mixing rhythms and melodies into a hybrid musical stew. His interest in the African continent was sparked at an early age, and he lectured and performed there in the 1960s. As Weston noted in his autobiography, published in 2010, "I'm really a storyteller through music and I've had some amazing and unique experiences. When it comes to considering those experiences together, my quest is always in the spirit of our ancestors."

Destructive Narcisstic Mother/Grandmorther
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 05-01-2014 - 10:36pm
That is my mother. And for my entire adulthood I was her chosen scapegoate and in a million ways rejected and betrayed by her. And her story has always been her great saddness that I was rejecting her.
Until just recently when she wrote her memoir ( a narcisstic fantasy based on true events) that was distributed to all members of her family I did not realize the extent of her narcisim, her disconnect from reality, the epth of her contempt for me or just how destructive it has been on the entire family. Needless to say this has had a polarizing and confusing affect on the family including my relationship with my own children who ar all grown now with children of their own.
Everyone got a copy of that book but me. One of my daughter's loaned me a copy so I could read it with the warning it is full of mean things about people. Well a lot of the mean things were about me. And one of the things she wrote in the book was how I kept her grandchildren from her. OUTRIGHT lie. It was her all the years that I was a single mother that she wanted nothing to do with me or my children. UNTIL they left home. Then she became the loving victim grandmother. Of all the lies this one makes my blood boil that she would write that in a book those children would see.
I have never really said much or explained much to my children or even stood up for myself because it has been so sublte and insidious. But now that her meaness and lies are out there for all to see I am feeling it is finally time for me say something to at least that daughter and then each one in the right time.
Any thoughts those of you who understand the dynamics of this malignant narcissism or who have experienced anything like this. Do I continue to keep my mouth shut or do I let my kids know the truth that I did not keep them from their grandmother, in fact after my divorce, when I wanted to move to a town I loved choose instead to move closer to "family" so they could have aunts cousins, and grandparents nearby. They do not know that because they were little children. They do not know how often I begged my mother to be a part of our lives and her granchildrens lives to be rejected time and time again.
In her book she also states how "she isolates herself from the family" Is that really what they tell themselves and have been implying to everyone for years? After years and years of being rejected, betrayed and being the only one reaching out, I eventually just stopped the reaching out and since it was always one way anyway there is no conatact any longer.

I think it's very telling that you did not receive a copy of this book, but this was yet another way that your mother wants to bring misery into your life. People who know and love you will know that what was written was not the truth (especially those who know your mother), and the further you can distance yourself from her and her vitriol the better. It's almost too bad that you were given the book to read because now it has brought up the past which is exactly that, past. You can't control your mother, but you can control your response to this. You should be open with your children, and let them know that you are happy to answer any questions that may have been raised by this one-sided perspective.
|Fri, 05-02-2014 - 2:30pm
I am very glad I read that book. It shed light on how she became the way she did. It confirmed things that I insctinctively knew but refused to believe, Including the depth of her contempt for me that was always made out to be something I was just imagining. Everyone loves you , how could you think otherwise.
My daughter loaned it to me with the warning that there were mean things in it. That is good that she recognized that, that it really is open for others to see. With a narcisstic they have to have those who can do no wrong and those wo can do no right. Many people in the family have believed her lies. My kids I think are just confused but the feeling I get from them is they are always telling me how the family asks about me ( giving the impression it is they who care and it is me who has separated) They are always encouraging me to go visit them as it is me who has rejected my family intead of the other way around. ???????????
Your answer to me sounds ike one from someone who is responding to a mostly normal family with one person who is a liar that everyone else can see. That does not happen in the case of a malignant narsicctic matriarch. It is a twisted web or crazy making lies. Polarizing family members is key. The people who love me, my children do not know the truth. They too have been sucked into the lies. Most of them believe the lie that it is me who is closed, stubborn and unloving to my mother. They contiually are trying to get me to go visit, to forgive to be the one to make the first move. They do not know that I made the first and only moves for over 40 years to be continually rejected. How to respond. With silence or speaking up to let them know It was not me who rejected them. And to set the record straight, it wa not me who kept their grandparents away from them when they were little. It was the grandparents who refused to have anything to do with me and them as long as the chldren lived with me. After they moved, they suddenly had the loving grandparents. What a message is that. In the book she comes right out and says I kept them from her.
The book is not in the past... it is very much in the present when she passed it out with all the lies and twisted fantasy. I have been 15 years distanced from my family of origin but their influence has been dectructive to my own children.
Be open with my children??? That is exactly why i am here to get some help in how to do that in light of this book coming out. I see it is as an opportunity to bring up the topic. My chldren do not have any questions, only one, plus a daughter in law has said anything about this except, "There is mean stuff in there, She probably did not mean it so mom, stay open when you read it." They do not know the truth. They believe it is me who has the problem. So my question is do I tell my one daughter is seems a bit open. Do I tell her I read the book, there are some things I want you to know, would you like to hear that? Or do I just send her what I have written to set the record staright at least about that.
How to respond is the question.
|Fri, 05-02-2014 - 2:59pm
I mean what if anything to say to the two kids who have at least said something about it. That is the question. Do I bring it up or continue to wait like I have for their entire lives for them to come right out and ask. What would theyeven ask about. They do not know the other side of the story. They have always believed Gramma"s message "Your mother has a problem." I have never discussed my relationship with my mother with them. Do I use this book to finally bring take the initiative to be open at least to the two kids I think may have a bit of openess about it.?
|Fri, 05-02-2014 - 9:05pm
I think is a situation where maybe a professional therapist is needed. I don't think I would explain everything, but just tell your kids that there were a lot of things said about you that are not true. Maybe if they ask, then you can say that you never kept them from grandmother when they were little as she said. I am just thinking about the situation like a divorce. The 2 parents can have problems with each other, but they always say not to say negative things about the other parent even if they are true because it's not good for the kids. You say that the kids have a good relationship with their GM and other relatives so if you bring up all the details they will be caught in the middle and not know what to do.
|Sat, 05-03-2014 - 1:07pm
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
Wow, they are already caught in the middle having believed the lies. Some are completely on the other side. Some have been able to stay nuetral. And NOT SAYING ANYTHING is exactly what I have done up until now. Because I did not want to be the one to say anything negative, to the point of never, ever defending myself or drag them into the middle of my relatinship with other people. My kids have only heard one side of the story all their lives. It has been very destructive and polarizing to our family. There are some family secrets that should not be kept, the truth shall make you free. So just now realizing how destructive this has all been over the I am wondering if now is the right time to stand up for the truth.
|Sat, 05-03-2014 - 3:16pm
Thanks everyone, here is what I have come up with to say to my daughter at this time. A small opening to the door of truth that has stayed shut for way too long and mired in a destructive web of lies.
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
"Just want to let you know I read Gramma's book. Thanks for loaning it to me. It gave me a lot of insight.
There are some things in it that do warrant clarification, even rebuttal. Things that I know have had an affect on you kids' lives and will affect your own children. For one it is completely false that I kept you kids from your Grandparents, it was just the opposite actually. I do not know if you want to hear my thoughts. If you do, let me know. I've written some of them down. If you have any thoughts, feelings or questions about this I am here for you and will be glad to hear them.

Calvary is a powerhouse of a film set in a small city along the picturesque coast of Ireland. The film's themes concentrate around the power of religious faith, its practical limitations to address contemporary life's complexities and the power of forgiveness in a world of lost belief and despair. Fiercely emotional, Calvary goes straight to the heart of whether or not forgiveness for unthinkable crimes is possible and whether one respectable priest's fidelity to his vocation can be shaken by the varied reproaches echoed by those whose lives are mired in "well earned" melancholy and cynicism. Actor Brendan Gleeson is a decent priest who attempts to provide counsel and solace to several residents in the provincial town, most of whom mock and dismiss his honest intentions to provide comfort and guidance.
From the opening scene of the film, we learn (without seeing the identity) that a victimized parishioner plans on murdering the priest, not because he's been wronged by our protagonist but because killing an innocent person will in some way symbolically draw attention to the sex abuse crimes committed against thousands of Irish children like himself. It's a brilliant, opening salvo that will force Father James to confront his own troubled relationship with belief, reconcile with his depressed daughter and come to terms with a fate that may well end with his life coming to a close. Billed as a dark comedy, Calvary has its moments of lighthearted quirkiness but the overall somberness of the film's tone cannot be ignored. This is serious material handled with sensitivity. Even as the film's core is suffused with an undeniable tension between righteous anger and its corrosive impact on the self, there are moments where we see genuine kindness expressed as in the case of the grieving French woman's scenes with Father James.
That's not to say that there are no problems with the film, some of which can be felt in the way the highly stylized characters of the foiling townspeople were written. Their 'realness' was clearly substituted for their capacity to represent the secular world's various grievances with the church and its subsequent decline in status. In the end, the movie succeeds, mostly due to the stunning performance given by the veteran actor Gleeson.
It's that time of the year to look at some of the notable films that have been restored and re-released back into cultural circulation once more. The Criterion Collection once again represents the gold standard in terms of packaging and supplementing these culturally significant works from the past.1. The Long Day Closes2. The Vanishing3. Charulata4. The Big Chill5. La Vie de Boheme6. Love Streams7. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg8. Sundays and Cybele9. Nostalghia10. Safe
A Long Way Down is about four people who on New Years Eve all try to commit suicide by jumping off a very tall building. They of course do not (or it would be a very short movie). I found it interesting that this tall building had razor wire and sharp pointing things around its edges to discourage jumping. Martin (Pierce Bronson) brought a ladder to lay across the wire and enable him to get out far enough to jump. Maureen (Toni Collette) shows up and asks if she could wait and tells him it was a good idea to bring a ladder she had not thought of it. This gives you an idea of the quirky nature of this movie. Then Jess (Imogen Poots) shows up and makes a run for the edge, she is stopped by Martin and Maureen. While these three are skirmishing about we meet J.J. (Aron Paul), who is a Pizza Delivery boy, also on top of the building trying to jump. Everyone leaves, fate and lots of rain bring them together again. They make a pack to not jump until Valentines day. They bond and we learn more about each one and why they were on top of the building. Come on down to KPL and check it out.
After watching one of the last episodes of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, in which one of the characters performs a poignant rendition of the classic ballad La Vie En Rose with a Ukulele, I began thinking about the cinematic role of this Hawaiian instrument (one of my favorites). Several recent films came immediately to mind (Her and Blue Valentine) but after a Youtube search, I discovered a few others films that feature this little guitar's power to pluck an audience's heartstrings. For fans of the instrument, check out Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder's album Ukulele Songs.
From the movie Her:
A compilation of movie scenes:
Made during a time when the Hollywood musical was all but dead, French director Jacques Demy's sherbet-toned, song and dance-fest was about as uncool as it got in the sphere of mid-sixties French cinema when it hit theaters in 1967. It was a Technicolor throwback, a flamboyant and syrupy homage to the Hollywood musicals made during the previous decade. Starring French actress Catherine Deneuve (Delphine), her real-life sister Francois Doreleac (Solange) and American screen icon Gene Kelly, the film is set around a city-wide festival in the uninspiring town of Rochefort. The self-absorbed twins (Delphine is a dancer and Solange is a composer) are bored with their predictable, mundane lives and wish for the riches of celebrity in their artistic fields. Love and romance of course are also on their to-do list. Made in collaboration with sixties It-composer Michel Legrand, Demy's classic is an energetic and luminous show of treacly schmaltz with its quixotic heart worn unashamedly upon its brightly colored sleeve.
Recent internet buzz about a leaked trailer for the newest installment of the Star Wars series and the release of Christopher Nolan's film Interstellar (in theaters now) got me thinking about the first, great science fiction film, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's a beautiful enigma of a film that continues to stand up to the test of time given its enduring philosophical and scientific themes, not to mention its visual originality and marked refusal to conform to commercial and artistic conventions. It should be noted that it was not everyone's cup of tea when it originally opened in movie theaters in 1968 and it's glacial pacing, minimalist dialogue and conceptual approach to narrative won't please many of today's film viewers but for those willing to give into its pondering lyricism and subtle jabs at satire and social commentary, you will be rewarded.
I chose to watch Rosewood Lane because Rose McGowan was in it. I've like her since Charmed. Rose McGowan is Sonny Blake a radio talk show therapist. Her alcoholic dad dies, and she moves into her childhood home. They briefly touch on that she tried to sell the house and could not but the movie had to have her move back home so that we can have the paperboy terrorize her. On her first day back the paperboy asks if she wants to subscribe and there is a good deal if she subscribes in the first 30 days. I wonder what would have happened if she had said yes. She doesn't and the paperboy shows up in her basement, moves her swan and bear figurines, peeks through the fence. It doesn't sound too terrorizing to have your swan figurine moved to where the bear figurine was and vice versa, but it was the visual indicator that he was in her house and that she was vulnerable to him. The neighbors say he is cunning and can do things that cannot be explained. Sonny sees the paper boy holding a cardboard sign which says Hickory standing by his bicycle on the road, she drives past him and bang suddenly he is in front of her holding another sign which says Dickory and again somehow he got in front of her and he is holding a sign which says Doc. We are left wondering if he is magical, a vampire or just knows some good shortcuts. Whatever, he is good at being creepy. Things escalate; the paperboy calls her station and says nursery rhymes. Sonny is convinced that the paperboy killed her father. The movie doesn't give any reason why the paperboy is terrorizing her, other than he is a sociopath and on his newspaper route. The Director also directed Jeepers Creepers and this movie has the same feel. The paperboy is good at terrorizing and the movie keeps you engaged. Give it a watch and if you are approached by your paperboy you might want to say yes to a subscription. Check it out at KPL.
If the snowy weather's got you down and you want to watch people who are colder than you are, or if you're in the mood to wallow in mankind's devastating effect on global temperatures—or if you just like a good sci-fi action movie—check out the recent South Korean (but mostly English language) release Snowpiercer. Based off the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige and co-written and directed by Bong Joon-ho, best known for the rollickingly great rampaging monster flick The Host, Snowpiercer is set in a dystopian future where mankind's attempts to reverse global warming have expedited a new Ice Age that has killed off most life on the planet. The few humans that remain live on the Snowpiercer, a massive train that continuously circumnavigates the globe. Within the train, people are divided into social classes, with the poor living in squalor in the rearmost cars, cruelly lorded over by the wealthiest passengers from the front cars. But a revolution is brewing, as man-with-a-past Curtis (Captain America's Chris Evans) leads the impoverished on a car-by-car battle towards the engine, with hopes of overthrowing the Snowpiercer's creator and authoritarian leader, played by Ed Harris.
Shot with cinematic grandeur, Snowpiecer succeeds on many levels: as suspenseful fight-laden actioner; as a dystopian fable; as a commentary on our environmental malfeasance; and, as an acting showcase—Tilda Swinton's gonzo portrayal of a ministerial henchwoman is worth the proverbial price of admission alone. So check it out—the icy backdrop and chilly social undertones may just be the belly-warming tonic you need to make it through these first few frozen weeks of the season.
In 1992 I had the good fortune to have seen the punk band Bikini Kill play at a small club in Chicago. They blew me away with their loud, raw and unfiltered brand of punk rock feminism. Looking back now, I can see how necessary they were at that particular moment, that their commitment to empowering women within the punk scene and raising issues and consciousness was a much needed alternative to the mostly-male dominated culture that existed in the early 1990's. The group's culture-changing anthems struck a chord (pun intended) with men and women alike (both negatively and positively), especially the lyrics and style of their brash singer Kathleen Hanna. Looking back with fond nostalgia for a time period and cultural milieu that I had experienced firsthand, I was eager to see The Punk Singer, an entertaining film that examines Kathleen Hanna's shape shifting contributions toward changing the punk scene's attitude toward women. Recommended for fans of underground punk music of the early 1990's and those wanting to learn more about the history of the Riot Girl movement.

Stunt Dare 22
Edit Page Last Edit: 3 years 2 months ago
Objective: Earn 500WP in 60s.
Reward: 10000WP
Drive a fast enough car and set it to drifting a few times and you'll complete this dare almost without trying. A proper drift nets you an easy 100WP or maybe more, while the smaller drifts that are easy to perform in traffic pay around 30 or 40. Since you have a full minute to build up a total of 500WP in earnings or better, that's more than enough.

"It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"
Looking for the SB set I to Boston 6/28/74, not the DP Part.
I have an extra code to order the box set. Is anyone interested? It expires tomorrow at noon (Feb, 24th, 12:00am, pst). peace,
Hi, I'm a huge Zappa/Phish head who would like to get into the Dead. Right now I can't afford to get a new external hard drive since my old one died. Would anyone be willing to burn a few flac/sn DVDs for me? Send me a message if you're willing to. :)
Eternally grateful,
I got the soundboard off the web before the site was closed down. Can we trade this stuff without goons (lawyers) coming after us????
I'd guess we could as long as the shows/tracks are not commercially available. For example, I think that April 26, 1972, Jahrhundert Halle, Frankfurt is sold on this site and should not be traded. 4/8/72 is the show they got Cumberland Blues for Europe 72. That track cannot be traded with the show. Once you get the show, you can stick it on your copy in sequence.
I am looking for 6/21/95 Knickerbocker arena on dvd.
If anyone has it and wants to trade I will give you a list of some of my dvd's I can trade.
someones I have are
I'd be happy to trade one of those 6/21/95
You might want to check out the new Euro '72 complete box set. A bit pricey, but I'm anticipating the package and sound quality will be worth it.
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have the following cd's???????
I'm looking to fill in some gaps and these would certainly help as they are not at archieve.
The tour dates were;
* April 7, 1972, Wembley Empire Pool, Wembley
* April 8, 1972, Wembley Empire Pool, Wembley
* April 11, 1972, Newcastle City Hall, Newcastle
* April 14, 1972, Tivolis Koncertsal, Copenhagen
* April 16, 1972, Aarhus University, Aarhus
* April 17, 1972, Tivolis Koncertsal, Copenhagen
* April 21, 1972, Beat Club, Bremen
* April 24, 1972, Rheinhalle, Dusseldorf
* April 26, 1972, Jahrhundert Halle, Frankfurt
* April 29, 1972, Musikhalle, Hamburg
* May 3, 1972, Olympia Theatre, Paris
* May 4, 1972, Olympia Theatre, Paris
* May 7, 1972, Bickershaw Festival, Wigan
* May 10, 1972, Concertgebouw, Amsterdam
* May 11, 1972, Rotterdam Civic Hall, Rotterdam
* May 13, 1972, Lille Fairgrounds, Lille
* May 16, 1972, Theatre Hall, Luxembourg
* May 18, 1972, Kongressaal - Deutsches Museum, Munich
* May 23, 1972, Strand Lyceum, London
* May 24, 1972, Strand Lyceum, London
* May 25, 1972, Strand Lyceum, London
* May 26, 1972, Strand Lyceum, London
Thanks so much
Was wondering if anyone had a good copy of either one or both of these shows? I have good tapes and CD's from the audience, but really would love to get a copy from the Soundboard. I really love these shows, and this was the first time i saw them when i was a kid.
Please contact me if you can help.
Thanks a bunch
9/22/91 - Boston Garden has a Shakedown opener where Bruce plays some classical sounding phrases during the intro. There is a great soundboard circulating - PM me if you need a copy.

This should be something very simple to do, but I can't seem to find an answer in the forum anywhere. Here's the basic problem:
I have a set of CSV files of the form:
"X,Temp °C\n1,25\n..."
Note the degree symbol, that will be the heart of my problem. I'm using numpy and matplotlib and I import this file using:
GT_kwargs = dict(delimiter=',',names=True)
data_array = numpy.genfromtxt(filenm, **GT_kwargs)
This properly produces a numpy array with dtypes:
[('X', '<f8'), ('Temp_\xb0C', '<f8')]
So far so good. The data plots just fine, the problem comes when I want to annotate the curves using the names pulled from the header, in particular if I try to pass:
pyplot.annotate(data_array.dtype.names[1], xy=(1,1))
This throws:
ValueError: matplotlib display text must have all code points < 128 or use Unicode strings
Obviously the issue is \xb0C as the degree sign. I've tried replacing the symbol with a unicode string, but that does nothing. How do I change this string to get the annotation to include a degree symbol?
EDIT: I've narrowed down my question a little bit. How to I tell a string's encoding? It's a really basic question, but I still can't find the answer (which is often how it goes). A link to good documentation would be helpful.

Batman – Dark Knight phone Nokia "Tube" catches face time
If you haven't been able to catch Batman – The Dark Knight in theaters yet, you might not have heard of or seen Nokia's new touchscreen baby. The 5800 XpressMusic, also being called the Tube, made an appearance in the hands of none other than Morgan Freeman, and it has shown up, with specs, on the internet for your viewing pleasure.
The Nokia 5800 Tube has some impressive specifications, but seems to be lacking at this stage of development in the graphics department. Still, the handset has an attractive form factor and some pretty impressive features, which are available courtesy of TBGR:
– The Tube only weighs 104 grams
– haptic feedback (a must nowadays for touchscreen handsets)
– 640 x 360 pixel TFT LCD display
– dual LED flash and 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus
– 3.5 mm headphone jack and television out connections
– Bluetooth, HSDPA, GSM, CMDMA, EDGE, WLAN connectivity
With legitimate camera phones finally hitting the market, I'm pleased to see Nokia going to such lengths to actually make the camera functionality worth buyers' time. GPS is a nice inclusion with many touchscreen handsets, but I question the choice to not include 3G or EV-DO data connectivity, as higher-speed data networks are a necessity for proper GPS use.
Perhaps the most troubling thing about the Tube, as TBGR points out, is that the interface looks strikingly…dull, even reminiscent of the long-past Windows or early Macintosh icons. Personally, I'd be willing to settle for something between that and the flashy interface displayed on Morgan Freeman's version in Dark Knight, but the handset is far from being finished.
The lack of high-speed data connectivity raises a very interesting question, one that I would genuinely like reader feedback on: with U.S. carriers now rolling out or already having high-speed data networks for both CDMA and GSM fans, is it a bad move to not include support for 3G or EV-DO? Just upgrading the iPhone to 3G technology with GSM (a move that really isn't particularly difficult) was enough to cause many AT&T customers to upgrade, and many non-members to sign contracts with the leading U.S. GSM service.
I think that even though high-speed data isn't quite as uniform as it should be today, consumers will be hesitant to buy a new touchscreen handset (especially one that isn't even finished yet) that runs on outdated data networks. If touchscreen smart phones are really supposed to revolutionize the mobile world, why give consumers the option to settle for outdated transfer methods? Deploy only cutting edge handsets and show the benefits over high-speed versus standard data, and consumers will adopt the technology.

Reese and Jake: Blinded By the Light in London
Here's one couple that doesn't look too jazzed about all the paparazzi snapping their pics.
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were caught waltzing out of Scott's seafood restaurant in London in the early a.m. hours. Reese is visiting Jake while he films Prince of Persia: Sands of Time in jolly old England.
Even though co-habitating twosome were dining with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, this was one "flash-dance" Reese couldn't hang with—she looks blind as a bat with all the bulbs going off in her face.
Maybe she should take some lessons from Heidi Montag on how to make love to the camera, over and over and over and over and over...
