'Ring 3D' to Crawl Out of Screens
Tuesday, April 27 by
Just the other day on Things I Never Say Day, I was saying how badly we need a sequel to The Ring. Preferably one that is 3D and focuses on a more teen-centric angle. Well, save up your shillings for an inflated ticket price because it looks like Paramount is intending to do just that. Dream House writer David Loucka on script duties. No details yet about how the girl in the old VHS will return but one scenario has teens finding a VCR that still works. Really?Okay. Honestly, you kids today with your Jason Beavers and sexting parties. VCR's aren't that old or difficult to find. Either this film takes place in 2025 or Afghanistan. (THR)
Burt Reynolds and Judd Nelson Don't Recommend Drugs
Monday, April 26 by
The two actors, not exactly known for their straight-edge lifestyle, watch over Dermot Mulroney like a couple of hypocritical angels condemned to the boonies. Memorable quote: "When I was in high school, if you couldn't chug-a-lug a pint of booze you were nothing." So true, Burt Reynolds.

'Toy Story 3′ Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear Viral Video
Monday, April 26 by
Think you can pull the wool over MY eyes, Pixar?! I knew this video for a supposed Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear was a Toy Story 3 ploy the second I hit play. Sure, it looks authentic, but if this bear really existed I would have owned the crap out of it back in 1983. It doesn't even matter that a bear with the word "hug" in its name doesn't even give hugs but instead just receives them (like a normal stuffed animal?), or that the grindhouse-esque commercial cuts off right before the bear slaughters the little girl in her sleep and then goes for the rest of the family. I simply had to have everything I saw advertised, or mother got the hose again. Check out the surprisingly well-done video after the jump. It must have taken the Pixar geniuses months to render the fuzzy tracking at the bottom of the frame.
Nicolas Cage Could Be Too Busy for 'Ghost Rider 2′
Monday, April 26 by
"Doggarnit. People like me."It appears that Nicolas Cage's crappy sequel plate is full. It looks like the cash-strapped actor may be forced to choose between roles. From Vulture:Insiders confirm to Vulture that Columbia is facing a ticking clock on the rights to the BBQ-skulled Marvel Comics character: Legally, if the studio isn't in production on a sequel by November 14, 2010, the franchise automatically reverts to Marvel — which means the comic company's new owner, Disney. Insiders tell us that Columbia is asking Marvel for an extension. (Asking, pleading, it's a fine line.) But time is running out. Cage has spoken about his desire to make a second Ghost Rider; the issue is whether his schedule will be free before the deadline. Disney is also hoping to get him for a third National Treasure with Jerry Bruckheimer, which could be shooting as early as this fall and would presumably earn the star a hefty paycheck. And considering Cage's well-documented money troubles, that cash may trump his deep love of comic books.A Ghost Rider without Nicolas Cage wouldn't feel like a Ghost Rider film at all. That would be like The Punisher without Thomas Jane, or The Hulk without Eric Bana, or Iron Man without Terrence Howard. I can't even imagine a world where such travesties would be allowed.
Horse Gattling Gun, Crossbow, Boom!, 11 Seconds of 'Jonah Hex'
Monday, April 26 by
In case you can't wait for the Jonah Hex trailer dropping later this week, SyFy has 11 seconds of footage for your impatient ass. The movie has had so many different writers, directors, reshoots, and delays I can only imagine that the final product will be somewhere between tolerable and intolerable. Wait what, it features Megan Fox in a corset and gattling guns strapped to an aggravated stallion? Take my money, box office cashier! (Movieline)Check out the footage after the jump…
'Dancing With The Stars' Partner Cheryl Burke
Monday, April 26 by
Cheryl Burke is a two-time Emmy nominated professional dancer. As a professional dancer partner, she won the competition in the second and third seasons of "Dancing with the Stars" with celebrity dance partners Drew Lachey (February 2006) and Emmitt Smith (November 2006). She is of Filipino, Russian, and Irish descent, which makes for one bomb cocktail. A word from Cheryl: "My greatest achievements in dancing are still to come."Come on, Cheryl. You taught Drew Lachey how to cut a rug. God has nothing left in store for you. Dancing does a body good after the jump.
Batman Live Is Coming to a Town Near You
Monday, April 26 by
"Seriously, any spare change you have. Just trying to get a bite to eat."Warner Bros. and DC Comics are developing a traveling show for the kids tentatively titled, "Batman Live." Alan Burnett, who is a veteran of "Batman: The Animated Series," will write the script which will include numerous villians, though no plot specifics have been unveiled beyond the usual "millionaire beats up the mentally-ill" framework. It's said the show may premiere in 2011 or wait to capitalize on the buzz of Christopher Nolan's third Batman film in 2012.Personally, I'm happy to see Batman "pulling a Conan" and taking his show on the road. I never approved of the way Six Flags Great Adventure replaced him with the Penguin to host The Batman Stunt Show. I'm with Batman. (THR)

'Final Destination 5′ Goes Through the Motions of Hiring a Writer
Monday, April 26 by Defy Media
Last summer's The Final Destination was intended to be the last film in the franchise until someone realized they forgot to include laser-eye surgery. And thus, The Final Destination 5 in 3D will breeze into theaters next year, knock over some paint thinner and cause a huge fire in the process.Eric Heisserer (Elm Street remake, The Thing prequel) has been hired to write the script. Plot specifics are not known at this time but it is said that New Line is looking to break out of the repetition of the previous entries. I'll keep you posted when the entirely new, totally retarded plot contrivances are announced. (THR)
Is 'District 10′ Filming This Fall?
Sunday, April 25 by
Break open a celebratory tin of cat food! A source at Weta has told MarketSaw that a sequel to District 9 is in pre-production and will go before cameras this October. Peter Jackson will once again produce with Neill Blomkamp back in the director's chair. There's no word yet about the plot or the title of the sequel. Though my well-placed sources (who wish to remain anonymous) tell me they may involve an Electric Boogaloo.
The Last 'The Last Airbender' Trailer
Saturday, April 24 by
Look, I'm in a box. The fourth and final trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender has rained down all over our faces and minds and Hush Puppies. It's quite a bit more impressive than previous trailers and that mostly has to do with the addition of dragons. Like every other movie being released in the near future, The Last Airbender is being converted to 3D so that you can enjoy all the earth, wind, and fire right up in your face. I hope they play "September" by those guys on the soundtrack. That song is always fun to stumble around to when you're drunk at a wedding. Check out the trailer after the jump. The Last Airbender blows into theaters July 2.

Mr. d'Azur is now presumed dead, or lost forever on an island inhabited entirely by beautiful women, and the search is on to find his heir. This lucky person will fill in for Jacques at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival — an exclusive VIP trip of a lifetime worth of $10,000. You'll get the very same treatment that Jacques would have. That includes the premieres, the parties, the limos, the helicopter pads, and hobnobbing with A-List celebrities. This swanky trip is sponsored by Stella Artois 4%, so head on over to their site for complete details and to enter. You could be on a jet to the French Riviera before you know it. It's good to be the king. HURRY! CONTEST ENDS SUNDAY!
Paramount Pays Sacha Baron Cohen With Goats
Friday, April 23 by
Paramount has won the rights to Sacha Baron Cohen's next comedy film after sending goats to the actor and his reps. That's right. Goats. They also gave him $20 million against 20% of the first-dollar gross. Which means he could stand to earn.. umm…. uh…. carry the one…consult with Clippy…. uh…. a lot of money. So that helped to seal the deal too.The film will star Cohen in a dual role, playing two characters we've yet to see. One is a goat herder and the other a deposed dictator who gets stuck in America. But back to the goats. Deadline reports, "visitors to WME were greeted by a goat wandering across the 3rd floor atrium — that is, until Ari Emanuel had the goat removed after it took a dump in the hallway."No fair. Brett Ratner dumps in that hallway all the time and he's still allowed to make deals.

IRVINE, Calif. - The board of Freedom Communications, parent of East Valley Tribune and Scottsdale Tribune, decided Thursday to solicit bids for the sale or merger of the family-owned media company.
Freedom's chief executive officer, Alan Bell, said the decision was based on the desire of a majority of roughly 80 shareholders, expressed in a straw poll last month, to explore a sale or merger of the company. But while Freedom is essentially hanging out a ''for sale'' sign, the outcome is far from certain.
''We're opening this process up to destiny. Anything could happen,'' said Bell, who expects the process to take six to nine months.
''We've directed (investment bankers) Morgan Stanley to bring us bids for all the company, part of the company, a merger with a partner, bids for cash, bids for stock. . . .'' Bell said. He said the process would establish a market value for the company. That would allow family members who want to retain control of the company to make an offer to buy out other shareholders.
Numerous media companies are known to be interested in Freedom, the country's 11th-largest newspaper company, or some of its properties. Potential bidders include Gannett Co., which owns USA Today and the Arizona Republic, McClatchy Co., Tribune Co., The New York Times Co. and Dean Singleton, head of MediaNews Group, declined to comment.
Freedom owns 28 dailies, 37 weeklies and eight television stations. The value of Freedom has been estimated at as much as $2 billion. Freedom is owned by the descendants and in-laws of Freedom's founder Raymond Hoiles, who began amassing his media empire when he bought the Santa Ana (Calif.) Register in 1935.
Thursday's decision to seek bids culminates a 20-year family feud that resurfaced last summer, when Tim Hoiles, a grandson of the founder, began pushing to cash out his 8.6 percent stake in Freedom. The younger Hoiles hired U.K. investment banker Christopher Shaw to line up potential bidders, which rankled the company's management.

The optimistic remarks, two weeks ahead of a fourth-quarter earnings report, helped send shares up nearly 19%. But Nokia executives sidestepped several questions, including whether the company can shore up its shrinking cash position.
Nokia said brisk sales of its new Lumia phones lifted overall smartphone shipments for the first time in a year, even though shipments are still well below year ago levels.
CEO Stephen Elop, shown in September, said Nokia had trouble meeting demand for its Lumia phones. InvisionAssociated Press

Chief Executive Stephen Elop, speaking to analysts and media in a series of phone calls Thursday, also said his company's pace of cost cutting and improved results at a wireless networks joint venture will help the company "achieve underlying profitability in the fourth quarter."
But Mr. Elop declined to discuss one of the most closely watched financial issues facing the company: liquidity. Nokia's cash pile has been shrinking ever since Mr. Elop announced his bold move to adopt Microsoft's untested operating system for mobile devices. The shrinking cash pile has caused serious concern about the company's long-term prospects.
By the end of September, Nokia's net cash position reached €3.6 billion ($4.8 billion), down from €7 billion when Mr. Elop became the company's chief executive in late 2010.
Scrambling to raise cash after six quarters of losses, Nokia recently raised €170 million by selling its suburban-Helsinki headquarters building to a Finnish property investor Exilion Capital Oy and agreeing to lease it back on a long-term basis. The deal, which Nokia first said it was pursuing in October, followed an earlier move to raise €750 million in a bond offering.

The company has also been selling patents and divesting itself of parts of its business, including an optical-network unit sold last month by its Nokia Siemens Networks arm, as well as the Vertu luxury phone unit, bought by a Swedish private-equity firm for an undisclosed sum last year.
Besides the cash crunch, it is far from clear whether Nokia's newest Lumia smartphones can continue to lure consumers in a cutthroat industry.
The company is banking on its Lumia line—particularly the newest 920 model that launched in November with sophisticated hardware—to help it regain ground.
While Nokia's Lumia shipment numbers look promising, they don't take into account pricing. Prices of Lumia phones were heavily discounted during the holidays.
In the U.S., for instance, Lumias were on sale for as little as $39 during the holiday spree on Amazon.com, AMZN +2.21% Amazon.com Inc.

More quote details and news » or $60 cheaper than the initial price tag. Other lower-end Lumias were available free at other carriers, such as T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, with a two-year contract.
Nokia's chief financial officer, Timo Ihamuotila, said the average smartphone selling price was €185 in the fourth quarter, up from €155 in the third quarter. He didn't break out the average prices of Lumias, so it is unclear how much carrier subsidies played a part in sales.
There is also a question of supply. Mr. Elop said the company has experienced supply problems, as certain mobile components have been in short supply, both for Nokia and other phone makers.
"Demand for our products has been greater than the available supply," Mr. Elop said. "If you went into a store to buy a new Nokia, there were times when our devices weren't available, so indeed we could have sold more Lumias."
The handset maker still expects its main devices and services unit—the bulk of which is made up of feature phones—to record a decline in sales in the fourth quarter of 2012, to €3.9 billion from €6 billion a year earlier, with total device shipments projected at 86.3 million units, down from 113.5 million.
The company also expects its results for the first quarter of 2013 to be pressured by seasonality and the competitive mobile environment, and it is currently battling to overcome supply constraints related to its latest products.
Nokia is due to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 24.
Mr. Elop has been on a crusade to cut expenses and simplify the company's business strategy.
Once the dominant player in the global cellphone business, Nokia has been forced to slash thousands of jobs and close facilities under Mr. Elop. These measures led to lower operating expenditure in the fourth quarter.
In addition to working on the core business of selling mobile devices, Nokia has focused on improving the performance of its wireless network joint venture with Siemens AG SIE.XE +1.13% Siemens AG Germany: Xetra €93.81 +1.05 +1.13% Dec. 22, 2014 5:35 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1.81M P/E Ratio 14.73 Market Cap €83.85 Billion Dividend Yield 3.52% Rev. per Employee €209,679 12/17/14 Oracle Bets CIOs Won't Want to... 12/17/14 Alstom Talks Show Record Bribe... 12/17/14 Philips to Buy U.S. Medical Im...

The unit, which is in the midst of shedding 17,000 jobs, or nearly a quarter of its global workforce, has been refocusing its operations and is now concentrating on higher-margin mobile network sales.
Neil Mawston, an industry analyst at Strategy Analytics, said Nokia's performance is "a little mixed bag." While results are going to be better than expected, volumes for basic phones and Lumia smartphones were a little lower than he expected.
"Nokia has reached the trough and is looking into an L-shaped or U-shaped recovery," Mr. Mawston said.
He said the recent efforts on shrinking the company's size has been necessary. "Nokia has done a good job in cutting its costs," Mr. Mawston said. It's looking a lot leaner going into 2013."

The Voice Review: Presenting the Top 24!by Dan Forcella at . Comments
The Battles may be over, but the war goes on: The Voice will begin its live shows next week. There were pop stars, quirky vocalists or rapping MCs making up the final members of each coach's team. Let's take a look at who were the final hopefuls to get to The Voice Top 24...
Team Cee Lo - James Massone vs. WADE - "True Colors"
The Battle: James was extremely nervous in practice, but it didn't really come through in his performance. If anything, he was way more confident than WADE, who struggled with a couple of critical notes. This was definitely the case of one guy having the potential to be great but failing this week, and the other being steady but probably won't go anywhere in the competition. WADE has much more power and range, but James didn't screw up at all.
My Choice: James
Cee Lo's Choice: James
Battle Grade: B
James and WADE battle it out in the final Battle.
Team Adam - Nicolle Galyon vs. Mathai - "Love Song"
The Battle: Nicolle's advantage was her piano playing, and after Adam took that away, she sounded way to plain. Cee Lo called her "generic," and I agree with him. When Mathai first came in it was obvious that she was going to win. She just had the much more interesting tone of the two. I loved that Adam revealed how disappointed he was in the performance, especially since it was his own team members. That's something the X Factor mentors never would have done.
My Choice: Mathai
Adam's Choice: Mathai
Battle Grade: C
Team Xtina - Moses Stone vs. The Line - "Satisfaction"
The Battle: This was such a weird combination, but pairing almost anyone with Moses would have been. I loved that the fact he was a rapper didn't stop Christina from getting him to explore his vocal ability. No star is going to make it in this business by just rapping. He might not have the best voice around, but combine it with his presence on stage and his skills as an MC, and he won me over. The Line is a talented duo, but I'm not sure that is something can even work on a show like this, so I'm not upset that they were eliminated here.
My Choice: Moses
Xtina's Choice: Moses
Battle Grade: A-
Team Adam - Karla Davis vs. Orlando Napier - "Easy"
The Battle: This was a very close call. They both sounded good, but like Xtina said, the whole thing was a bit "lackluster." Orlando has a really nice tone and was very soulful, but he didn't seem to have much range. Karla attempted to show her range, but the falsetto was a little lacking.
My Choice: Orlando
Adam's Choice: Karla
Battle Grade: B
Jordan attempts to sing something that was not in his wheelhouse.
Team Blake - Naia Kete vs. Jordan Rager - "I'm Yours"
The Battle: Blake loves handicapping his contestants, doesn't he? He picked a Jason Mraz song for Jordan Rager. So he was basically telling him he was out right then and there, right? The kid did an okay job with it, at least when he wasn't attempting to harmonize, but this just wasn't fair. That's not to say that Naia capitalized on her advantage, though, because she misfired as well. The song was a perfect choice for her, and she didn't sound all that great. Maybe it was nerves, because I think she can do a lot better.
My Choice: Naia
Blake's Choice: Naia
Battle Grade: D+
Team Cee Lo - Tony Vincent vs. Justin Hopkins - "Faithfully"
The Battle: As I have done a couple of times during these Battle Rounds, I have to ask how this pairing happens. With how bad Cee Lo's team was this season, how do these two talents get forced to take each other on? Tony is sooooo Broadway, but he's a great singer. Justin, on the other hand, seemed like an awesome rocker. They were both great, and the performance on the whole was definitely the best of the night, but only one could move on.
My Choice: Justin
Cee Lo's Choice: Tony
Battle Grade: A
Who was your favorite contestant of the night? Which performance was the best? Which Coach has the best team heading into the Live Shows? And who will be the winner of the second season of The Voice?

I have a problem with the choice of Naia over Jordan. This has happened a few times on the show. When one artist is given a song that so favors them over the other artist, if that battle is even remotely close, give it to the other artist. In this case, Jordan took a song way out of his comfort zone and made it a battle against Naia when the song was right in her wheelhouse. This tells me he was more versatile. I think Blake is trying to catch lightning in a bottle with Naia as he did with Xenia and Dia from last season.
CeeLo still having the model lady on his team and then having the 4 people perform today (especially the last 2). Any one of the 4 would have beat the brothers and the model.
XTina cracks me up in that if the other 3 judges are 2 to 1 for an artist, she always seems to choose the other.
Hmm...why pair your best singers with each other? Why not preserve all your best singers? Just a thought directly related to that last phenomenal song.
This year Christina told the duet that Blake eliminated his duet in the battle round last year. Next year if there's a duet they're both going for, Blake can say Christina not only eliminated her duet in the battle round, but she also torpedoed them by taking them completely out of their element.
I agree Jacob. Jordan did seem like he has the potential to be a good country singer. This battle just wasn't meant for him. Good luck to him in the future!
If Naia's performance was so much better than Jordan's, why did the producers feel it necessary to cut one full minute out of the performance--one minute, mind you, that featured Jordan? In the actual full performance, Jordan sang the first verse. They cut out 45 seconds at the beginning, and another 15 seconds toward the end. Why did they do that? What didn't they want you to see? And Jordan didn't complain about the song choice. He took it and did all that he could with it, though it did completely favor her. By all accounts, she SHOULD have blown him away, but even she knew she did not. Check out her comments afterward. Bottom line, it was more stacked against Jordan than anyone knows. But he will be fine, because he is a talented country singer--one we will see again in the not-too-distant future. Write it down.
The best of the night was definitely Tony Vincent and Justin Hopkins......... I think Christina did the right thing in making Moses sing a Stones song.......in a competition like this you have to prove you can do something more than rap--I think that's what happened on XFactor to Astro(that and his attitude) He could do nothing but rap! Sorry but nobody wants to hear that all the time.......... So ready for the live shows...........
I think that team Cee Lo is quite badass, this year, except for Cheesa, who I can't bring myself to like. On the other hand, Adam has an eye (ear?) for great singers and his team is well mixed. I'd rather not to comment on team Blake...as for Christina's, there are some amazing performers and some meh ones.
That said, how is that tonight everybody loved Justin over Tony Vincent? That man is unbelievably talented.
I think the song choices in this round definitely handicapped some of the singers. In fact, Moses was probably the only contestant who was able to show versatility and perform out of his comfort zone. There are definitely some singers whose style doesn't work well in "battle", so I'm not sure that the battle rounds are necessarily fair. Even Dia, who was amazing last year, didn't perform well in the battle rounds. It's good to be versatile, but in the music industry, most performers stick to a certain niche. My choices would have been:
1. James vs Wade: James
2. Matthai vs Nicolle: Matthai, but I preferred Nicolle when they were singing separately.
3. Moses vs The Line: Moses, although I think the guy from The Line has an amazing voice.
4. Naia vs Jordan: Naia. However, this wasn't a fair battle for Jordan and I wish they both could have advanced. I like Jordan's country voice.
5. Tony vs. Justin: Not sure. This was too close to call.
My second paragraph that got cut off: Of course, the ones who complain about song choice aren't long for this show anyway (complaining that an Alanis song was originally sung by a woman? You don't have to sing the song exactly like the original!). The Line complaining about song choice was funny because a Stones song wasn't exactly in the rapper's wheelhouse either (and Christina even made him sing!). The girl was extremely bland on stage, but I think this was a case where they picked the wrong coach. This was the second time this season someone who turned all four chairs around got booted in the battle round. Blake, on the other hand, has had three of his performers go on tour with him!
Anyone think Blake stacked the deck against Jordan by giving Naia a song that, in theory, she should knock out of the park? Now this isn't nearly as bad as when Cee Lo had a rocker chick go against a plain jane with a Rod Stewart rock song, but Jordan just didn't have the voice or talent to bring his own thing to the song (like when you see the four coaches on stage singing together and how each of them brings their own thing to song no matter what it is). Not that he should've gotten past the battle round even with a level playing field -- I don't think they even showed his blind audition or backstory other than to show he got picked by Blake -- but his lack of experience was a major handicap. Of course, the ones who complain about song choice aren't long for this show anyway (complaining that an Alanis song was originally sung by a woman? You don't have to sing the song exactly like the original!). The Line complaining about song choice was funny because a Stones song wasn't exactly in the rapper's wheelhouse either (and Christina even made him sing!). The girl was extremely bland on stage, but I think this was a case where they picked the wrong coach. This was the second time this season someone who turned all four chairs around got booted in the battle round. Blake, on the other hand, has had three of his performers go on tour with him!

Woman cited for
drunken driving
ROYALTON A Bethel woman escaped injury, but not a criminal citation, following an early-morning accident that destroyed her car Sunday on North Road.
State police, who were summoned to the scene of the one-car crash by 23-year-old Sarah Goobic shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday, said they later arrested Goobic for drunken driving.
According to police, Goobic lost control of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt she was driving and the car went off the road and overturned. It was destroyed, police said.
Goobic, who police said was unhurt, called for assistance from a nearby home and informed police of the accident.
When they arrived at the scene, police said they determined Goobic had been driving under the influence of alcohol and took her into custody. She was later released on a citation to appear at the criminal courthouse in White River Junction on Oct. 22.MORE IN This Just InThe Agency of Education is reviewing preliminary data that appears to show small schools are more...

New Information: Deadly Accident in Candler
News 13 has new information in the deadly car accident that claimed the life of an Enka High student. We now know the 16 year-old driver of the car, did not have a license. Troopers say he may have been an inexperienced driver who ran off the road and over corrected, hitting a tree. Fifteen year-old Chris Taylor was killed. Troopers say both teens were wearing seat belts, and alcohol was not involved.
Wednesday, family and friends gathered at that same accident scene to honor Taylor. His family and teammates watched Wednesday morning as the tree was cut down.
The wail of a chainsaw becomes the sound of relief for a grieving family. Two days ago they suffered the shock of their lives as a car carrying Chris Taylor crashed into the big poplar, ending his life. The impact stripped the bark from the tree and the property owner decided to cut it down. "This idea of taking the tree down just kinda caught fire, the tree was not at fault, but it was just a symbol of the tragedy, and what occurred, and everybody just wanted to take that part away," says Chris Taylor's father, Calvin Taylor.
It was Chris's Enka High Jets football teammates that took the trunk, the branches and the limbs away. For them and the family this labor of love removed at least some of the ache in these days of loss. "To take the tragic part down and leave his positive memories, and everybody's support and participation, the football team, the high school, the youth league, the churches, it's been amazing," says Calvin Taylor.
Chris's mother, father, sister and brother say they felt a community come together to stand with them in honoring the 15 year-old lineman who worked hard to become a varsity player this year. They talked about Chris, they prayed for the family and they comforted the teammates.
"We have a long road ahead of us, we practiced for the first time today, and we had a good one, you try to get back to some sense of normalcy, for him and still find the right ways to honor Chris and his legacy," says Enka High Head Coach, Jeff Frady.
The family has planned services at Pole Creek Baptist Church at 2 p.m. Saturday. Click here to view Christopher Taylor's obituary.

Burma's junta in a vise
Next year's elections push ruling generals to contain dissidents and quell insurgencies – without annoying China.
Myanmar News Agency/AP
Bangkok, Thailand
The military junta of Burma (Myanmar) has been busy consolidating control ahead of 2010 elections. Last month it upheld a sentence giving opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi 18 more months of house arrest, ignoring US calls for her release and its rare offer to engage the pariah regime. But the government still struggles to quell opposition among ethnic insurgency groups – it has cease-fire agreements with 17 of them – in the country's north and east. The best-armed group is probably the United Wa State Army (UWSA), with at least 20,000 combatants and Chinese-made weapons.
The latest flare-up, in the east Burma region of Kokang, in August, sent 30,000 refugees across the border to China, prompting an unusually stern response from that powerful neighbor. Burmese soldiers captured the insurgents' base on Aug. 24.
What is Burma's goal?
The military would like to neutralize armed threats to its authority before elections next year, its first since 1990. The so-called cease-fire groups – rebels that have signed truces but not laid down arms – are seen as potential spoilers. Ethnic leaders want more autonomy and may block the vote.
Last year, the junta said that all cease-fire groups must convert their armies into border guards under military command. This proposal has been strongly resisted by several groups, including the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, the armed wing in Kokang. By attacking the MNDAA, the junta hopes to scare other groups into complying.
"I don't think the Burmese [military] will give up. They want to get these groups under their control," says Aung Zaw, the editor of Irrawaddy, a Burmese publication in Thailand.

What's in Mike Colon's BrixtonJuly 3rd, 2014 — 13 Comments
Between product and lifestyle photo shoots, we have plenty of chances to experiment with how much gear can fit in each ONA and how to style each bag. But we're always inspired and impressed by how real-life ONA owners manage to make the bags work for them (keep sharing your photos with us on social media!), so we decided to highlight how some of our favorite photographers make their bag work for them.
Mike Colon is one of the world's premier destination wedding and lifestyle photographers, with list of places visited as enviable as his client roster. Mike's images are able to convey real emotions in an industry often saturated with affectation; his documentary-shooting style is never forced or overly posed. Based in Southern California, he travels not only to document weddings but also to highlight areas in the world in need of clean water through his work with Thirst Relief International.
What's in Mike's Leather Brixton:
- Nikon F5
- Apple MacBook Air 11"
- Mini Thunderbolt Drive
- Lenses
- Wallet
- Concealed Weapons
- Rubiks Revenge
- Shades
Note: Mike used a personalized cattle brand to imprint his logo on the front of the Leather Brixton, which we're convinced is the coolest and classiest move ever.
Note: all photos were kindly taken by Jessica Claire.

Sorry, Having a gun and 'The biggest lens I can find' just makes Mike look like a bit of a knob.
maybe he's not, but I think someone could have thought through the PR a little.
(please don't give mean Mike my address, as I don't want to get in to a fight)
I'm with you on that Alexander. Very suspect choice on the PR front. But then again, I guess it is in AmUHrica. Maybe it's cool over there? Who knows. Maybe he's been mugged before.
Isaiah July 3rd, 2014 at 18:37
There are plenty of reasons to have a gun in your camera bag guys. In Mikes case, he's carrying around a 200mm f2. I'd carry a gun to if I had that lens too. Cept it wouldn't be in my camera bag. It'd be on my waist as a fair warning. But anyways also to add to the 200mm f2, he could be wanting to shoot wild bears or lions and doesn't want to get that close. And just in case he gets spotted. He has his gun for protection. Mike studies Jiu Jitsu. He doesn't neeeed a gun. It's just there for insurance. So relax!
Full discloser:
I've met Mike. He's a great guy with a great heart.
He's lugging around a film camera… and doesn't pack extra film? But a hard drive? Were the F5's modified to be digital?
Whoa… lighten up a bit fellows… there's nothing to be afraid of. Could I really be such a mean guy if I carry around a Rubik's cube? I'm actually not so bad if you took the time to get to know me. Like many Americans, I grew up watching westerns, ninja movies and cop hero movies so naturally I think guns & knives are cool… blame Hollywood. I grew up shooting film on that F5… and it is still my most treasured camera (sorry, but those yellow Tmax boxes were busying up my orange themed photo). These are just a few of my favorite things that I like to carry with me. I actually had about six variations of bag contents (some more politically correct without the weapons) but sent this one to ONA because it was more fun and they are a fun company.
P.S. Thanks ONA for making such a flawless bag that I do not leave home without. I just flew in from a family portrait session in Paris and used it as my main carry bag around the city. I received many compliments on it as usual. Thanks for the blog love too! And thanks Jessica Claire for the fun photo shoot!!
Much love!
This guy is lugging around a pistol… Totally took my mind away from the rest of the article and bag. Tasteless in my opinion.
"A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity"
Sigmund Freud
Freud was high on Cocaine. As hilarious as that might be to some I personally wouldn't want to mix a paranoid Coked up philosophy with Firearms.
Or why not quote some NRA nut? – they also have questionable opnions on the manliness of weapons.
Quoting out of date and irrelevant philosophy sounbites to justify an outdated ideal doesn't really add to this, at least not in the way you think it does, especially when the particular quote is out of context.
It is a nice bag, though
Brian July 9th, 2014 at 00:09
Would love to have one of these bags, especially with the branding…that's just flat out boss. Rugged and classy.
As for the comment left from Edward who just so happen to have posted on July 4…. How do you think we won our freedom, to have the right, to now choose freely any avenue of profession we want? Have a little respect for the reason you/we have our freedom. I bet George Washington would have carried an ONA bag with a pistol and a camera in it if he had the choice…. And maybe a Rubix Cube to pass the long nights at camp
Love the blog, keep'em coming.
Richard Wagner August 3rd, 2014 at 21:39
Beautiful touch with the branding. Personally I think its kinda cool adding the revolver to the picture. Im sure he doesn't carry this around on the regular. And no one said anything about the butterfly knife?!?!? I must admit that I am a Mike Colon fan and have several of his online photo workshops on file, but to get back to the purpose of this write up, that bag seems to be very classy looking. I may have to look into one in the future.

How One Company Took YouTube to the Big Time
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- The story of Orabrush, in which an unknown company becomes a giant brand approaching $10 million in annual sales in just two and a half years, proves the power of social media.
Essentially the company provides products -- a tongue cleaner and now a tongue foam -- to help in the fight against bad breath.
Orabrush was created in 2000 by biochemist Robert "Dr. Bob" Wagstaff. Years of effort failed to get the product on retailer shelves or selling through infomercials or other oral care companies.With some new young talent schooled in social media and on board with the product's effectiveness, Orabrush launched a YouTube campaign in 2009 with its original "Bad Breath Test" video, which now has more than 16 million views. Today Orabrush is the third-most-subscribed sponsored YouTube channel, right behind Procter & Gamble's (PG) Old Spice and Apple (AAPL). With 180,000 subscribers, it has more than 45 million views for its 100 videos. The company also has more than 310,000 fans on its Facebook page. Orabrush has made a name for itself among such juggernauts as P&G, S.C. Johnson & Son and General Mills (GIS). Orabrush is now available in more than 20,000 stores worldwide, including through Wal-Mart (WMT) and CVS (CVS) stores in the U.S. It is a remarkable milestone for a company that used only a so-called reverse marketing strategy to advertise its products. "The growth we have had as a company over the past two years has been truly amazing, and it is due almost entirely to our focus on using the Internet," Orabrush CEO Jeff Davis said in a January press release. "The Internet has changed every aspect of how people consume media and advertising, and the old methods and tactics just don't work as well anymore. Our 'reverse marketing' model has helped us reach a huge, untapped audience and opened a lot of doors that had previously been closed." Davis, a former P&G executive, became Orabrush's chief executive in January 2010. He spoke with us last week about the company's success. Below are excerpts from the interview:

can someone intrepret this test?
My doctor is out of town, and i had to go get my thyroid test. can anyone tell me what the results mean?
t4 is 5.2 range is 4.8 to 13.3
tsh is 0.44 range is 0.34 to 4.82
t3 is 198.8 range is 80.0 to 200.0
I doubt that any one of us can 'interpet' those lab results any better than you can yourself. You see where you are on the various ranges.
The physician is the one who can 'interpet' because he/she looks at the labs in the context of the patient's present and past medical history.
What may seem 'fine' for me, may be totally 'off' for you, so unless you are suffering from some severe symptom, IMO, it would be wise to just wait for your doctor's return.
i was hyper a month ago, and it made me feel awful, while i am better i still feel hyper, so i will cut down another 1/2 tablet.
my symptoms: Nervousness
hair loss
i never had hair loss before. so this is why i am lowering the dosage.
I think it was mentioned before on these boards that self-medicating is never a good idea if you're taking Rx. Your dosage should be controlled by a physician.
If your physician is unresponsive, you should find one who will treat you better. Thyroid 'meds' are hormones and nothing to 'tinker' with on our own.
Yes, it has been said before, but there are no physicans that know anything about thyroid here. I know that I was hyper at .22, and it hasn't changed much. If I had a physcian that knew anything, would I be here?
t4 is 5.2 range is 4.8 to 13.3
tsh is 0.44 range is 0.34 to 4.82
t3 is 198.8 range is 80.0 to 200.0
It says t4 but looks like Free T4 numbers/range. It's not even close to mid-range, which is 9.05 for That range.
With TSH (if they must, and many do) I feel fine just a little above the low end of the range, but everyone's different. It's the Free T's that really count though.
The t3 looks like T3 Total numbers, Not Free T3. Either way, I'd really feel Bad, probably like your symptoms, if I was at the very high end of the Free T3 range, kinda scary to me. Total is what's IN the body, Free's are what's Available to be Used by the body, i.e. energy. Too much isn't good.
If those were my results, I'd be on the low end of the FT4 range and wanting more and be Way too high (too much) with the T3.
You don't say what you're taking? It almost looks like you need to be on separate T4 and T3 and not a combo med (if you are) with that low T4 and high T3. If I take my T3 in the evening (I'm on both T4 and T3), it'll keep me up (insomnia). To me....that T3 result (even though it's a Total) screams too much T3. No wonder you're nervous/hyper.
When my endo first added T3 for me a few years ago, around 10 yrs. after being on T4 only, it was at too high of a dose for me (12.5 mcg.), And, failed to tell me to split the T3 2x/day. It was scary to say the least. Instant phone call to them. Then I went to a 5 mcg. starting dose, which should have happened in the first place and worked up over time to the higher dose.
i am taking westhroid. it has worked for years, but i have no idea if my being on a health kick has changed it. i am off sugar and gluten, off all grains and juicing. Last month the doctor said that i was hyperthyroid and cut one tablet in half. he did not bother to take t4 and t3. now that he has he says nothing other than i am in the range, so that is fine. my tsh last month or rather on sept 10th was .22. i have no idea whether going to another dr. would help. the only other one taking patients is a gyn.
Being 'here' is no substitute for seeing a doctor.
Too high a T3 level is potentially dangerous to your health.
It's impossible to manage thyroid issues without the assistance of a physician, so I'd advise you to find one before you do yourself harm with trying to self-medicate.
The symptoms you're experiencing are exactly the ones that my endo warns me to watch out for--and to contact him immediately if I experience them.
sometimes changing nutritional programs can cause the thyroid to kick in or cause other hormones to kick in and that will affect the thyroid too..
Matti where are you located? Maybe we can help find some better versed. make sure doc is at least doing FREE T3 and free T4. Some people might need less T3 and more T4 than natural gives them Or tweaking it with separate of each (under dr guidance of course.
i live in a very small town in oklahoma. too far to travel to see a doctor outside of the town.
it didn't seem to matter that my doctor here took t3 and t4 since he said that they were normal. as long as everything was in the range, it is normal to him.
I'm sorry your having trouble. It DOES MATTER!!! But NOT to your Dr apparently. And his exact reasoning is why there are thousands upon thousands(probably millions) that are going through the same issues! Hang in there..
so true. and thanks betty. i cut my dosage by 1/2 pill, and i am beginning to feel better. hope the new dr., only a family doctor though, knows more than this other one.
i thought about the nutritional program inatic, i realize now that i went hyper before i started the program.
i have more questions. because i felt so lousy at a tsh level of .44 i cut my dosage, and let it be that for a while and had a test again. i now have a tsh level of 3.25. (the dr. forgot to add the t3 and t4 tests like i asked, and my insurance will not pay for it again so soon, so please don't say that you need it right now.) thing is, most people here say they feel best at 1 or 2 tsh. while i am finding at this level i can now sleep without medication, and i sleep 7 or 8 hours. i am not tired during the day, but at night i finally slow down. but i get up at 5 or so and fall to sleep at 8 or 9. sometimes i need a short nap; sometimes not.
i would try to get my tsh level to a 2, but this is the first time in ages that i have not needed sleeping pills. does anyone have any advice? is 3.25 tsh really a bad number?
I don't think we should rely on, or 'use a number' to tell us how we feel mattie jo. If you are feeling ok (better than before) than it doesn't matter where the TSH is...I like to rely on how I feel. If I don't feel well, I go back to the doc and tell the doc how I feel...if I feel better after an 'adjustment' made by the doc...well then...that's that.
Lokarbiebarbie, thank you, but last night i felt tired a little too early, so i took 1/4 more tablet to see how i will feel in a few weeks. i think it takes that long to work. if i find i can't sleep i will cut back. i just really don't want to be on sleeping pills.

Anyone notice this event? I noticed that my boyfriend has gained weight in the last few months, to the point that he is complaining his pants are getting too tight. LOL I have gained a total of 8 lbs (22w2d) and I am pretty sure he has matched my number. It doesn't bother me, I still think he is a cutie!
Also might be partially to blame....we moved in together and now I am cooking dinner every night. I think there were nights (before living together) he didn't really eat meals....just came home ate a snack and fell asleep in front of the TV.
I haven't said anything to him up until now. He has always had an extremely high metabolism...so I think it might hurt his feelings if I bring it up.

About Us
"It is such a powerful gift to find another parent who knows disability-specific what your own child is like. That connection is priceless… it is truly priceless. You can't find it in any other person unless they've walked in your steps. They don't know what it really feels like – the joys, the hopes, the loss of a dream. Only another parent who has lost a similar dream can understand what you're going through and can be a source of strength in perhaps a moment of weakness. For a short period of time, you may feel down but that other parent can help you walk through those times until you can get yourself back up on your feet."
-Val Sutorius, Parent
Texas Parent to Parent (TxP2P) is committed to improving the lives of Texas children who have disabilities, chronic illness, and/or special health care needs. TxP2P empowers families to be strong advocates through parent-to-parent support, resource referral, and education. In addition, TxP2P educates professionals about the unique needs of our children with the goal of improving care and opportunities for our children. Lastly, TxP2P is dedicated to championing the efforts of a diverse set of parent support groups and advocacy on behalf of our children's well-being.
The heart of TxP2P is the parent-to-parent peer support model—parents volunteering to provide support and information to other parents. The parent-to-parent model ( P2P Best Practices) has been developed by and for parents to address the powerful emotions, new responsibilities, stress and isolation that parents and families face in caring for a child with special health care needs. Parent-to-parent support sustains parents as they develop the skills to manage the new demands on their families and themselves and to advocate effectively for their children.We encourage you to learn more about our organization, programs for parents, professionals, and parent groups, and get involved.

Associated Press
A Utah truck driver kept sex slaves in his semitrailer for months at a time while he traveled the country, filing down their teeth, forcing them to alter their appearance and beating them until they nearly passed out, authorities said.
Timothy Jay Vafeades, 54, made an initial appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Fargo, N.D., and will now be transferred to Utah for further proceedings.
The charges against him include kidnapping, transportation for illegal sexual activity, and possession of child pornography, and could bring a life sentence if he is convicted. His public defender, Richard Henderson, could not be reached for comment.
An arrest warrant filed Tuesday in Salt Lake City claims Vafeades kidnapped a 19-year-old female relative who had come from Florida in May 2013 to work with him on his truck, the "Twilight Express."
After a week, the teen told Vafeades she wanted to go home, but she later told authorities that he strangled her until she blacked out and used threats and violence to keep her with him for the next six months while they traveled to Washington state, Nevada, Texas, Tennessee and other states.
Despite her pleas, Vafeades forced the teenager to have sex with him more than 100 times during their time together, a criminal complaint states.
He chipped down the girl's teeth and had her wear a fake set, and wore his own false set that featured vampire fangs, the teen told investigators.
Vafeades was arrested at a Clay County, Minn., weigh station on Nov. 26, after officers noticed bruises on the teenager and turned up a 1999 restraining order barring Vafeades from contacting the girl.
After his arrest, a second woman went to authorities to report she had been held captive in Vafeades' truck, according to the warrant.
The woman told detectives she met the driver at a Salt Lake City truck stop in April 2012. She agreed to have dinner with him and got into his truck, according to the report, but Vafeades told her about 10 minutes into the ride that she was going with him for a week or more.
The woman said Vafeades kept her with him for about three months through threats and violence, forcing her to have sex with him nearly every day and calling her his slave, authorities said.
She said he had her hair cut and colored to disguise her identity and forced her to marry him.
The trucker faces state charges in Minnesota in addition to the federal counts. He is in the Clay County Jail awaiting transfer to Utah.

Thank you.
Have you installed a horse recently? :)
Are you able to pop the casing off while it's running to see if any cables are rubbing against fans? Or could be a dodgy hard disk.
Common noises coming from a server are either an engine type noise, which is typically a dead fan trying to spin or a ping pong ball noise which is usually a dead hard drive.
Never heard of a clip clopping noise :)
OT, but i've just noticed that OP's name is Sir W*nkalot backwards. How very droll :)
lol @ Ryan, you're right :D
Maybe the name was intentional...frustration and all..........so i've heard.
But yes check cables on fans...dying fans (don't forget the PSU!) hardrives are a big issue. Any tapes stuck in drives maybe causing an issue? I've heard floppy drives (God...dead technology) make a similar noise in the past too.........
A cable in contact with the fan is the most likely, closely followed by a faulty fan (that is typically more of a grating, grinding noise than the clicking you describe though). Remember servers have lots of fans, so don't just check the obvious one over the CPU - I spent ages trying to even find one of the case fans recently let alone move the cable I'd just knocked onto it!
The original OP post says he hears strange noses.
This is serious and not something to be sniffed at.
Start ---> Run ---> NoSe and see what results.
Then cmd and
\\servername /wipe/nose
should clear it.
