"Compare and Contrast" goes to a new level
I suppose one has to do something different to review Thomas Pynchon's AGAINST THE DAY since it's such an imaginative book that taxes your brain in a good way (she says, 50 pages in.) But TIME's Richard Locayo takes a decidedly unusual tack by, well, comparing the book to his toaster:
At 3 lbs. 6 oz., Against the Day weighs just 3 oz. less than my toaster. But my toaster doesn't offer the tantalizing music of Pynchon's voice, with its shifts from comic shtick to heartbroken threnody, its mordant Faulkneresque interludes, its gusts of lyric melancholy blown in by way of F. Scott Fitzgerald, its ecstatic perorations from Jack Kerouac. And my toaster will never lay before me a vision of a world in which technology is stripping away all the ancient, vital magic while shepherding mankind to the brink of destruction. On the other hand, my toaster makes toast, and nothing quite so graspable ever pops out of this predictably bewitching, predictably bewildering book.
Richard Lea at the Guardian blog, who linked to this first, wonders if this and PW's starred review will get them slapped wrists for breaking the embargo. Uh, no. If that was the case, finished copies wouldn't have gone out weeks ago to all manner of interested parties. But the "eagerly anticipated" book by another Thomas – Harris – does come with strings attached in the form of a non-disclosure agreement, which implies that people actually care what's inside the book…

Pretty good!! I used whole wheat flour for pastries and stuck a mini reeses cup in the center. I would prefer them more peanut buttery tasting. I had to leave the dough in the fridge over night. I suggest NOT doing that, so the dough stays more manageable.
I made these cookies last night with my boyfriend, and they were so delicious. We followed the recipe to the t. The cookies came out moist, chewy, and simply fabulous. Will definitely make them again.
I cut the butter by 1 tbsp and the sugar by 1/2 cup and they were delicious. I made a mistake and used baking soda instead of baking powder and they still came out great.
to A Cook from CO; normal or "old-fashioned" peanut butter will separate oil from peanuts especially in heat. That's why I put my PB in the fridge after mixing it. processed peanut butter contains a hydrogenated fat which keeps the fat and rest of peanut paste from separating. Unfortunately, hydrogenated oil is extremely unhealthy. It is trans fat, the stuff that clogs arteries and makes heart disease. Just something to think about
Even more shameless is not carefully proofreading! I intended for my previous review to read perfectly SCRUMPTIOUS. Cheers~
I followed the measurements in the recipe and the cookies turned out perfectly scrupmtious. To make them our own, we placed a chocolate "kiss" on each a few minutes after they came out of the oven. Shameless!
Can someone tell me why this doesn't work with natural (old-fashioned) peanut butter? I tried it and what a nightmare- my cookies fried in oil instead of baked. Thanks
This was my first crack at making peanut butter cookies and they came out alright. The appearance and flavor came out well but the texture on the inside was a little dry/chalky. Maybe I'll add milk like the other suggested next time.
First time using this recipe, followed it exactly with out any modifications. The cookies are barley cool enough to eat and my son, husband and I have already had 2 each. Not only were these easy to make but they are hands down the best peanut butter cookies cookies I have ever eaten! This will now be my go-to peanut butter cookie recipe.

The thing about bus characters

Today, I took the 48 to Greenlake to meet some friends–Donna and Tama for a walk, and then Tosha for brunch. Despite all the 48 bashing I've been doing of late, there's no other bus that can get me to so many places I need (OK, mostly want) to go: south, to Casuelita's, to the dentist, to Lowe's; north to Scarecrow, to Star Life, to Ballard jewelry parties, and of course, to Greenlake.

Devil on the 2 bus
Today, after church, I hopped on the 2 and took a free, Earth Day ride downtown to meet my friend Aileen. Because it was early afternoon on a Sunday, many of my fellow riders–identifiable by their Bibles, fancy outfits, and "What did you think of Pastor So-and-so's sermon?" conversations–were also coming from church.
One older gentleman sitting in the front section, who apparently wasn't finished with his worship, decided to bring church to the bus. (He's certainly not the first.) He sang songs, lectured everyone within earshot about Jesus ("Be thankful he woke you up …

The investigation concerns whether Intl FCStone and certain of its officers and/or directors disseminated material false and misleading information to investors in violation of Sections 10(b), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.
Intl FCStone is a holding company focused on the financial services industry whose subsidiaries offer a range of financial services to customers worldwide. The investigation focuses on the Company's false and/or misleading statements during the relevant period, relating to problems the Company encountered integrating its acquisitions. In particular, the Company should have been aware that the financial reporting at its subsidiary Intl FCStone Markets, LLC was weak and that other internal controls, too, were inadequate. This led the Company to issue false financial statements that materially overstated revenue.
On December 17, 2013, the Company announced that it could not file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. Intl FCStone disclosed that it had "identified errors in the reconciliation of [its] subsidiary['s] accounting records to its back office system. . . ." As a result of the "errors," the Company disclosed that it may have overstated its revenues for fiscal years 2012 and 2011.
If you have any information on Intl FCStone's integration issues, its false financial statements or its internal controls and/or you wish to discuss your rights related to a loss in your investment in Intl FCStone, please contact Eduardo Texidor at firstname.lastname@example.com or, toll free, at 1-888-375-7600. For those investors inquiring via email, please be sure to include "Intl FCStone" in the subject line, the number of shares purchased, and your mailing address and telephone number.Since 1973, Cohen, Placitella & Roth, PC has been recognized as one of the premier trial law firms in the country.

Dear all, (this is a follow-up on a private e-mail Q&A between Dave and me) The Turtle specification (2006/01/02 version) indicates that a parser for this format should normalize any integers and booleans to their canonical form. For doubles and decimals, however, this is not required. Dave thought that he tried to align the Turtle spec with cwm/N3 here, but wasn't 100% sure about this. I find the differences between integers and booleans on the one side, and doubles and decimals on the other a bit strange. IMHO, a parser should either normalize all values to their canonical form, or none of them. I myself have a strong preference for the latter as I don't think of value normalization as a task for a parser. Comments anyone?

Spain evicts illegal African migrants from tiny island

Spanish authorities say police have evicted more than 80 illegal migrants that had occupied a tiny island off Africa's Mediterranean coast.
Abdelmalik El Barkani, the Interior Ministry's representative on Spain's North African enclave of Melilla, said the eviction, which began in the early hours of Tuesday morning, had been "peaceful."
El Barkani said 73 people were handed over to Moroccan authorities, while two women and eight children were taken to Spain to receive hospital care.
Many migrants from Africa try dangerous crossings to reach Spanish territory illegally in the hope of gaining work and forging a better life.

Miami Heat
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Each time Miami Heat center Greg Oden steps on the court, it's a success for him and the franchise.
There are also moments like Tuesday night's game against the Boston Celtics that tease just how good he could be if his knees cooperate.
It was late in the second quarter with Miami leading by seven points when Boston's Jeff Green broke free and sped towards the basket.
Oden was playing help-side defense and came across the paint to help. Green, who has posterized plenty of players, jumped and Oden did as well.
Oden's hand met the ball in Green's hand at the peak of the jump and the shot was rejected.
It was the first block for Oden since December 1, 2009. Oden finished the night with two points, one rebound, and one block in six minutes of action against the Celtics.
It's another baby step for Oden who is trying to play again after massive knee problems derailed his career.
If he can give the Heat 10-15 minutes a night in the playoffs to help defend the basket…opponents will have one less way to try to attack Miami's normally stifling defense.

Joovy Moon Room
At a glance
A portable play yard and crib that's roomy and stylish
Suitable for
BabyCenter Editors' review*
What it is:
The Joovy Moon Room's unique shape makes it an exceptionally roomy play yard. The well-padded floor is comfortable for babies, and the inward-sloping sides deter toddlers from attempting to break out. Style-conscious parents will appreciate the modern design and sophisticated, non-primary color scheme. Although the Moon Room is tricky to tuck into a corner, you might not mind keeping this cool play yard front and center.
What to watch out for
The Moon Room doesn't come with a changing station, bassinet, or mobile. And at 27-plus pounds, it's not a crib you'll want to use for travel. When you do need to pack it up, it'll take practice. Read the directions carefully or you risk snapping one of the bottom support tubes.

Tennessee faced the 28th and 29th ranked teams in Cold Hard Football Facts' Defensive Hog Index the last two weeks. Chris Johnson ran for 286 yards in those games. This week's foe (Indianapolis) is 26th in the Index.
Oakland noticed how effective Brandon Myers was in limited use and bumped him up to ten targets last week, two in the red zone. He is officially worth owning in any league and a good option for scrambling Aaron Hernandez owners.
Heath Miller received another three red zone targets. He and Marques Colston share the league lead with thirteen.
Victor Cruz already has more red zone targets this year than he totaled in 2011. There is no question that he is on the elite level.
Sam Bradford was 6-6 for 68 yards down the middle of Green Bay's defense. He should fare well attacking New England's backup safties.
This is proof of how well San Francisco's defense can adjust and close out a game: Russell Wilson's final fifteen dropbacks netted twelve yards and no first downs.
After Chad Henne relieved Blaine Gabbert he produced the worst second half of the week. Whoever Jacksonville starts, grab Green Bay's defense.
Fourteen of Alex Green's 20 carries gained two yards or fewer. Football Outsiders graded him as the least valuable running back of the week. He was also last in Pro Football Focus' grades.
Ladarius Webb held quarterbacks to a 42.2 rating when throwing in his direction. Jimmy Smith inherited most of his snaps and is giving up a 93.6 rating.
80.6% of passes throw to receivers covered by Kyle Arrington are completed. No cornerback is easier to burn.
Alfred Morris ranks fourth with his 21 missed tackles forced.
Adrian Peterson racked up 104 yards after contact and forced five missed tackles in Week Seven. Based on his surface numbers (15 carries, 123 yards) he should grade out fairly well in Week Eight too.
With Trent Richardson limited Cleveland used three or more wide receivers on over half their snaps. That means at least more opportunities for Josh Gordon, Greg Little, and company.

Life only gives us exactly what we ask for, both good and bad. The real challenge is in understanding the subtle ways in which we ask.Bryant McGill
The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.Bryant McGill
It is my experience that awareness of nearness of God and reverence for that power creates reverence for self, reverence for the other, reverence for nature and reverence for the entire creation, and devotion as an expression of gratitude to God can turn into a social force to bring about transformative changes in all aspects of human life and at all levels of society.Pandurang Shastri Vaijnath Athavale
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.Albert Camus
It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.Charles Dudley
Now that the wars are coming to an end, I wish you to prosper in peace. May all mortals from now on live like one people in concord and for mutual advancement. Consider the world as your country, with laws common to all and where the best will govern irrespective of tribe. I do not distinguish among men, as the narrow-minded do, both among Greeks and Barbarians. I am not interested in the descendance of the citizens or their racial origins. I classify them using one criterion: their virtue. For me every virtuous foreigner is a Greek and every evil Greek worse than a Barbarian. If differences ever develop between you never have recourse to arms, but solve them peacefully. If necessary, I should be your arbitrator. You must not consider God like an autocratic despot, but as a common Father of all; so your behavior may resemble the life siblings have in a family. On my part I should consider all equals, white or blacks, and wish you all to be not only subjects of the Commonwealth, but participants and partners. As much as this depends on me, I should try to bring about what I promised. The oath we made over tonights libations hold onto as a Contract of Love.Alexander III
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.Oprah Winfrey
He who is void of virtuous Attachments in private Life, is, or very soon will be void of all Regard for his Country. There is seldom an Instance of a Man guilty of betraying his Country, who had not before lost the Feeling of moral Obligations in his private Connections.Samuel Adams
Somewhere there is someone that dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile, so when you are lonely remember its true, someone somewhere is thinking of you.Unknown
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.Douglas Coupland
My biggest fear is that I will become too comfortable with the idea of being lonely for the rest of my life.Unknown
I read because I love the experience, because it is a powerful teacher of life, because it transforms me.Leo Babauta
If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.Marcus Garvey
The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.Karl Georg Bchner
Some material things make my life more enjoyable; many, however, would not. I like having an expensive private plane, but owning a half-dozen homes would be a burden. Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends. My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest. Both my children and I won what I call the ovarian lottery. (For starters, the odds against my 1930 birth taking place in the U.S. were at least 30 to 1. My being male and white also removed huge obstacles that a majority of Americans then faced.) My luck was accentuated by my living in a market system that sometimes produces distorted results, though overall it serves our country well. Ive worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions. In short, fates distribution of long straws is wildly capricious. The reaction of my family and me to our extraordinary good fortune is not guilt, but rather gratitude. Were we to use more than 1% of my claim checks on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well-being would be enhanced. In contrast, that remaining 99% can have a huge effect on the health and welfare of others. That reality sets an obvious course for me and my family: Keep all we can conceivably need and distribute the rest to society, for its needs. My pledge starts us down that course.Warren Edward Buffett
Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.Joseph Conrad
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.Martin Luther King Jr
Love is energy of life.Robert Browning
Love is energy of life.Robert Browning
Audacity succeeds as often as it fails; in life it has an even chance.Napolon Bonaparte
Life is great if properly viewed in any aspect; it is mainly great when viewed in connection with the world to come.Albert Barnes
The goal of human life is not death but resurrection.Karl Barth
Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.Richard Bach

I Just Can't Get Enough
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
When Catfish The TV Show premiered in 2012, I was less than impressed. While I enjoyed the original documentary film about a man's (the filmmaker's brother, Nev Schulman) online relationship-gone-wrong, Nev's MTV version lacked the same authenticity and felt rather exploitative. But when Schulman tweeted about being in the Cincinnati area (Findlay Market, specifically) this past February, my interest was certainly piqued. Who doesn't love seeing Cincy on TV (even if it inevitably would be a negative representation of the city and its people)? The Cincinnati episode of Catfish aired last week and local ties aside, it was one of the most controversial episodes thus far. Nev and his docu-series partner-in-crime Max embarked on a unique catfishing adventure when Carmen contacted the duo to help her host a "catfish intervention" with her cousin Antwane whom, despite never meeting the man in person, had been in a relationship with a guy named Tony for three years. Antwane explained that he "met" Tony on a late-night chat line but he'd never so much as seen a photo of him. Carmen and 'Twane are both big personalities, sure to get a reaction from viewers, but they both seemed genuine. After a crazy turn of events, Antwane's cousin Carmen nonchalantly revealed that she was "Tony" all along, and she had kept up the sick charade as revenge for…wait for it…the one time Antwane called her "a fat ass Kelly Price" in front of her family three years ago. Oy. When Max and Nev learned that Carmen was behind the whole thing and that she planned the Catfish cameras to catch her so she could get a brush with fame, they were furious. And rightfully so, that's a straight Disney villain move (also your cousin?!). In a very edited scene, Nev heatedly called out Carmen, mocking the way she talked, when producers immediately stepped in to call for a break. While I in no way condone any of her sociopathic actions, I did find it bitterly just that these MTV hotshots got a taste of their own exploitative medicine. They embarrass countless people on the show (though some might argue the subjects ask for it) and while they say they do it to help people, like any television producers, it's all about ratings and "good" TV. In the end, this episode was sure to rack up plenty of viewers. After the show aired, Nev posted the following message on his Facebook page, which reeks of his signature smug judginess: "Shooting this weeks episode of Catfish was one of the most intense and emotional experiences of my life. Relating to and understanding Antwane was a struggle for me in many ways, but I really grew to appreciate and respect him. He has many fears and flaws, but showed so much courage and resolve in the face of adversity. He is a man who proves that you don't need anybody else's approval to be happy. My lesson learned is to be confident and proud of who you are no matter what anybody else says or thinks. Life isn't always easy, but we can all chose to be positive in the way we treat ourselves and others. Cheers." Watch the full episode here. The show features shots of Short Vine (it looks like Antwane lives across the street from Bogart's); Coffee Emporium in Over-the-Rhine (Nev and Max famously do all their research in a coffee shop in each episode, and were very impressed by the local spot); and various locations across Downtown and Over-the-Rhine. The term "catfish" has caught on as a definition for people who assume false identities on the Internet (or the act of doing so) — so much so, that the word's new meaning has been added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Go here to read about how the term originated in the doc by the same name. Every year, the Guardians of the English Language at M-W begrudgingly add new words and definitions to the dictionary. This year's list was just released and, in addition to catfish's new meaning, there's hashtag, selfie and steampunk . Peep the full list here. Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey are neighbors now, and apparently just a couple of bros. Magic Mike was a hit. Channing Tatum is apparently working on a sequel, Magic Mike XXL. So it's no surprise that "The Real" Magic Mike is also in the works. Directed by Joe Manganiello ("Big Dick" Richie in Mike, Alcide in True Blood), La Bare gives a raw, inside look at the talented male dancers at La Bare Dallas. LA BARE RED BAND TRAILER from Main Street Films on Vimeo.We now live in a world where Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia gets invited to give commencement speeches and receives honorary doctorates. Which is to say, an awesome world. Check out his words of wisdom here. Jimmy Fallon has been doing a Suggestion Box bit on The Tonight Show, where he takes completely random questions or ideas from fans and brings them to life in epic Tonight fashion. Fallon has dubbed Game of Thrones with children's voices, gotten Audra McDonald to sing real Yahoo Answers and tested out Digi-Staches on Higgins. But this might be one of my favorites:

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Cincinnati is now a temporary home for Cate Blanchett (this year's winner of the Best Actress Oscar for Blue Jasmine), Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Side Effects, Her), Sarah Paulson (The American Horror Story anthology, 12 Years a Slave) and Kyle Chandler (The Wolf of Wall Street, Zero Dark Thirty, the Friday Night Lights series) as filming for Todd Haynes' upcoming movie Carol is in full swing! Some of the stars (and a giant movie crew) were spotted filming at their first location, Eden Park, as well as along US 52 in New Richmond and Spare Time Grill in Alexandria, Ky. The Enquirer's Glenn Hartong was able to catch a glimpse at Mara and Paulson looking straight out of the '50s filming a scene at the now-closed diner. Photo: The Enquirer/Glenn Harton. See more photos here. The film is based on is based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novel (published as both Carol and The Price of Salt) about Carol (Blanchett), a wife in a loveless marriage on the brink of divorce who falls in love with a young woman, Therese (Mara). The book was revolutionary at the time for portraying a lesbian relationship, and doing so in a non-stereotypical light. Chandler will portray the titular character's husband while Paulson plays Abby, Carol's best friend. Filming continues this week at a home on Grandin Avenue in Hyde Park. Retro Westside institution Maury's Tiny Cove will be closed April 1 for a day of filming Blanchett and Mara's characters' first date. Cincy Magazine tweeted that the Cincinnati Club, where the mag's office is located, will also be used to shoot the film at an unspecified date. We'll keep an eye out — the building is right across the street from CityBeat's HQ. Search #carolmovie on Twitter for the latest dish on the movie and its local filming and tweet us if you have a run-in with any of the stars! Even if Carol wasn't filmed exclusively in Cincinnati, the adaptation sounds like a great premise for a film. Unfortunately the same can't be said about most of the recent movies based on books and other, previous movies. This week in remake fuckery, we have Rosemary's Baby and The Birds — two classic '60s horror films undergoing contemporary reworkings. Zoe Saldana will take on Mia Farrow's iconic role in a made-for-TV version of Rosemary coming to NBC; Transformers director Michael Bay is apparently producing the remake of Hitchcock's feathery flick. We can only guess that Bay will replace said birds with laser-shooting Velociraptors. Now and forever: Speaking of dinosaurs, paleontologists in Alaska last week discovered a miniature species of tyrannosaurs about half the size of its close relative, the T. rex — essentially, what the prehistoric Paris Hiltons were carrying around in their designer mammoth skin handbags. Teacup-Rex! A post I found recently on Imgur (because Reddit still confuses/scares me) recalls the story of when the United Way decided to release 1.5 million helium balloons into the air in Cleveland in 1986, breaking the world record. The photos of the event are stunning, but — as anyone with a tiny bit of foresight could tell you — the mega-balloon launch totally backfired. Not only did this result in more than 1.5 million pieces of plastic trash around the region and as north as Ontario, but also reportedly hindered a missing person search on Lake Erie.Peep this less dismal, totally '80s news segment about the event: Kermit the Frog rang in the New York Stock Exchange Monday. Muppets Most Wanted opens in theaters Friday. Everyone's talking about "Strangers Kissing," a viral video of 20 strangers making out for the first time that's actually (somehow) an ad for women's clothing label Wren. A bit contrived, I suppose, but definitely intriguing and pretty hot. Jimmy Fallon put his own twist on the vid…with puppies and kitties.

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Miley Cyrus kicked off her Bangerz tour in expected fashion: with a mini-Britney, a gigantic phallic hot dog, the return of the infamous foam finger and Miley entering the stage via a giant Miley head, sliding down a giant Miley tongue. Here's a look at this recent performance of "Party in the USA," basically a children's patriotic school play, if said children drank a bathtub full of molly-laced Kool-Aid first. Side note: This is what U.S. History class will look like in 2064. We're more than halfway through the Olympics and the U.S. is currently in third place for medal standings with 23 medals —the most decorated country at this point. There have been some ups and downs: Superstars Shaun White and Shani Davis failed to attain medals and other U.S. favorites scored much lower than expected. But history was made with Charlie White and Meryl Davis winning the first U.S. gold in Olympic ice dancing; bobsledder Steven Holcomb again broke a 62-year losing streak for the States (he and Steve Langton won bronze in the two-man race, medaling for the first time since 1952; Holcomb in 2010 also led his four-man sled team to the country's first medal in that event in 62 years); and the U.S. commanded the podium for men's ski slopestyle as Americans Joss Christensen, Gus Kenworthy and Nick Goepper took home the gold, silver and bronze, respectively. The best spectacle came on the ice rink, though. Is that any surprise? With music, dancing and sparkly costumes, the other sports just don't compete when it comes to entertainment. Retired ice princess Johnny Weir hasn't missed a step with his flawless looks while providing figure skating commentary for NBC — Gawker has been on Weir Watch, documenting his sassiest ensembles and accessories. Is anyone else kicking themselves for having just discovered Russian skating god Evgeni Plushenko? The highly decorated figure skater embarked on his fourth Olympics in Sochi this year after undergoing surgery on his spine in early 2013. Plush won Russia's first gold at the games, competing in two team events before kicking off the figure skating short program. Sadly — and right after NBC aired an amazing reel on Plush and his very interesting history — the skater injured himself during practice, just before he was about to compete. Plush withdrew from the event, retiring from his sport effective immediately. So this kind of thing happens all the time with athletes who push their bodies to the limit. But Plushenko is more than just a talented skater. He was a presence — with "top three in Russian woman" wife — as this now-viral showcase (aka not a competition) performance proves. And finally we have The Faces of Figure Skating, which pretty much speaks for itself. This dude is a dead-ringer for David Wain seeing a pair of boobs for the first time.You know that Crystal Head vodka that comes in a cool glass skull? Well, fun fact, Dan Aykroyd founded the company, and some scientists created a face based on the "skull's" dimension. Here's what it would look like if the Crystal Head was a real guy:Jimmy Fallon took over The Tonight Show hosting duties Monday and it's already clear fans of his Late Night jokes, skits and recurring bits can expect just about the same from his new show and time slot. A cavalcade of celebrities welcomed Fallon on Monday, with Lindsay Lohan, Rudy Giuliani, Lady Gaga and other famous New Yorkers paying up as if they lost a bet that he'd never take over Tonight. Fallon's first guest was Will Smith who, along with Jimmy, schooled us on the Evolution of Hip-Hop Dancing. I also finally discovered that The Roots, when introducing Fallon, aren't just yelling random numbers (I thought they were area code shout outs?), which became clear when ?uestlove enthusiastically shouted, "One!" at the start of the first show. Fallon's gonna kill it. So it's definitely appropriate that his original Saturday Night Live audition tape is making its rounds. Spoiler Alert: Jimmy is a baby and auditioning for SNL appears to be the most terrifying experience ever.

Dumb Starbucks, we hardly knew you! The "parody" coffee shop, which mimicked the real Starbucks' name, logo, menu (Dumb Frappuccino, Dumb Espresso, served in Dumb Tall, Dumb Grande or Dumb Venti), everything — even font — opened in L.A. Friday only to be shut down by the Los Angeles Health Department Monday. Forbes posted Dumb Starbucks' "frequently asked questions," which explains that by adding the word "dumb," it's protected by parody law. Therefore the "coffee shop" was actually recognized as an art gallery and the coffee, art. Guests, who lined up out the door and around the strip mall where Dumb Starbucks set up shop, were treated to friendly service and free coffee and pastries (there were even CDs for sale at checkout, including a "Dumb" Norah Jones album). The real Starbucks acknowledged the parody shop, explaining the two had no connection and they were pursuing legal action. Word about the stunt (which it obviously was, dummies) spread across the Internet via various comedians' Twitters, so some it was no surprise that a comic was at the helm. Nathan Fielder, deadpan genius with the Comedy Central show in which he "helps" struggling business by offering ridiculous ideas (among other meta satirical "pranks"), revealed himself as the owner with this video: Now I really can't wait for the next season of Nathan For You. Some big changes are happening to NBC's long-running late-night shows, and you can read all about them in this week's TV column. After some sad goodbyes (Jay Leno's final episode of Tonight, Jimmy Fallon's last time hosting Late Night and Seth Meyer's final Weekend Update segment), there's a lot to look forward to. Fallon brings house band The Roots and announcer/sidekick Steve Higgins with him — hopefully the same goes for all the celebrity drinking games and generally bizarre bits and skits. Like this gem: Fallon's first week of guests includes Michelle Obama and Justin Timberlake, so fingers crossed for another Evolution of Mom Dancing and History of Rap. As for Late Night, Seth Meyers starts his run Monday, Feb. 17 and in a total surprise announcement, Meyer's old SNL buddy and modern comedic god Fred Armisen will be the show's band leader. The Olympics have taken over NBC (miss you, Parks and Rec) and oh, what a hot mess they've been! Plumbing problems and strange bathroom setups in the Sochi hotels, the Olympic rings mega-fail during the opening ceremony, the fact that it's actually too warm for any of these damn outdoor winter sports — the list goes on. C'mon, Russia, you can't even get winter right? At least we'll always have this: I'm not ashamed to admit VH1's Couples Therapy is one of my favorite shows on right now. With The Real L Word disappearing without a trace, I am finally able to get my Whitney-Sada fix (the couple is featured on Therapy), plus Jon Gosselin is apparently dating another mega-bitch and "Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham is equally intriguing and frustrating and alienesque. But the true star of the show is Ghostface Killah's girl, Kelsey Nykole...'s hair. #flawless Remember Celebrity Death Match? The MTV claymation classic pitted musicians, actors and other famous people in pop culture or the news against each other in an over-the-top gruesome fight to the death. Showdowns included Marilyn Manson v. Charles Manson, Mariah Carey v. Jim Carrey (featuring Drew Carey) and Lil' Kim v. Little Richard. Well, a few years after its 1998 debut, Fox presented a toned-down real-life version with Celebrity Boxing, which went down as one of TV Guide's worst shows of all time. Has-beens like Danny Bonaduce and Barry Williams (of The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch, respectively) took to the ring in what usually just a really sad battle. Only two episodes aired. So how do you take a bad idea like Celebrity Boxing to another level of shame? Add in the man at the center of one of the most controversial murder trials in recent years! George Zimmerman was set to box rapper DMX in a televised match, but both DMX and boxing promoter Damon Feldman have backed out, presumably after thinking about it for three seconds. The fight is still on for now and will be broadcast from a secret location this March, Zimmerman just needs an opponent. Any takers? In completely unrelated news, Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-stars Andy Samberg and Chelsea Peretti used to be childhood friends.
Talk Show Changes Spark Renewed Excitement for Late Night

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
With two episodes of Breaking Bad left, everyone's gone a little Walter White crazy — you'd think actual meth fumes were being released from our televisions. Jimmy Fallon & Co. have had a Breaking Bad spoof in the works for a while now, teasing fans all the while with photos and hashtags like #JokingBad. The nearly 13-minute sketch is a hilarious Late Night take on Bad, starring Fallon as Walt and (Steve) Higgins as Jesse and complete with all the references you'd expect, plus some cameos you wouldn't. Bask in the glory that is "Joking Bad!" (Mild spoliers from seasons 1-4, if you're being picky.) And while we're at it, check out Drakeing Bad — a blog of illustrations by Barry Schwartz and Shea Serrano (who brought the world Bun B's Rap Coloring and Activity Book) featuring iconic Breaking Bad scenes…with rapper/former Degrassi High student Drake randomly inserted, replacing various characters. Again, sort-of spoilers abound, so anyone who intends to watch Bad but isn't caught up should proceed with caution (if at all). And may god have mercy on your soul. Saturday Night Live returns to NBC for its 39th season Sept. 28 (Tina Fey will host; Arcade Fire is the musical guest) and with the new season comes lots of changes. We already know Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis and Bill Hader will no longer be gracing the SNL stage with their presence this year, and now newcomer Tim Robinson has been banished to the writers' lair (JK, maybe it's really cool there). The rest of 2012-2013's cast, including soon-to-be Late Night host Seth Meyers, is sticking around. New people: Fresh featured players will include Beck Bennett (that suited dude in the AT&T commercials who spends far too much time in children's classrooms), Kyle Mooney (he and Bennett are in comedy group Good Neighbor), Upright Citizens Brigade member and Cracked contributor Noel Wells (the only new female to join the cast), SNL writer Mike O'Brien, Comedy Central's comic to watch Brooks Wheelan and John Milhiser, another UCB-er. Changes: Meyers will retain his Weekend Update duties until he takes over Late Night in February and, possibly, throughout the full season. Last year's featured player Cecily Strong will join him at the desk and take over Weekend Update when Meyers eventually leaves. Strong was probably best remembered for her character, Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With at a Party (which I still think is kind of meh) and a pretty accurate interpretation of a porn star-turned-home shopping model. We'll see how she transitions into this much larger role! Confession time! I'm kind of seriously into Insane Clown Posse Theater on Fuse. I turned it on as a joke once, but now I actually find it pretty hilarious. (Note: If anyone sees me rocking JNCOs and cornrows while drinking Faygo, send help!) It's basically Mystery Science Theater 3000 but with ICP's Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope unleashing their offensive insights on an array of music videos. They also bring on guests like Tom Green, Coolio and comedian Jim Norton, talk with them for a little bit, react to more videos and then awkwardly tell them to leave. I never would have guessed ICP could be so entertaining and —dare I say — likable! I mean, I'd think they would just objectify video vixens, which they certainly do, but there's an equal amount of homo-erotic comments I'd never expect. And their constant inaccurate facts that have to be corrected onscreen get me laughing every time. At the very least, add this to your "drinking show" watch list, because that is a perfectly acceptable pastime as well as a good way to categorize TV shows, OK? Catch ICP Theater at 11 p.m. Wednesdays on Fuse. Taystee from Orange Is the New Black (Government name: Danielle Brooks) is gonna be a Girl, the series' first black female character. Every mother and girlfriend's worst nightmare was was released Tuesday as Grand Theft Auto V. The game allows players to wreak havoc on the streets of San Andreas, get high and drunk and even check out a strip club where dancers in private rooms give a topless show (digital boobs!). So yes, the infamous game has and will continue to spark controversy and backlash over the amount of violence and overall incorrigible behavior, but anyone with half a brain cell who watches or plays the game can see it is rife with satire, almost making fun of the culture it represents. The visuals, attention to detail and amazing pop culture and allegorical Easter eggs woven in the game are nothing short of astounding. Get your character this Drive-esque jacket and crush skulls in style!How often do you think, "Good job, fast food restaurant," or "Smart advertising, national chain eatery!"? Probably never, and that's why Chipotle's new promo, The Scarecrow, is getting so much attention. The fast-casual Mexican chain has cut ties with McDonald's (its former majority partner) and plans to be the first U.S. restaurant chain to go GMO-free. Now, with this haunting anti-factory farm ad (with a little help from Fiona Apple on vocals), Chipotle is taking its "Food With Integrity" motto even further.

Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
Country music is kind of one of those love-it-or-hate-it genres. You often hear people with limited exposure to music say "I listen to anything but Country;" at the same time, area Country music concerts draw huge crowds (CityBeat readers even voted the 2012 Kenny Chesney/Tim McGraw show the best concert of the year. Sigh.) — and we're north of the Mason-Dixie line. Sure, it's pretty easy to make fun of the stereotypical redneck Country music lover, but Country is making its way more and more into the mainstream, popular stage with crossover artists like Taylor Swift. And you don't have to be a toothless moonshiner to like her squinty-eyed ass, right? Brad Paisley just set the genre back a few decades with his new single, "Accidental Racist." The song is meant to explain how just because someone is southern and proud of his roots, doesn't mean he wishes we still had slaves. See, all Paisley wants is to be able to wear a Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt to Starbucks without some black barista thinkin' he's a racist (and who hasn't been in that situation). Between that target of a song title and the poorly-written lyrics, Paisley's gotten a lot of backlash. He appeared on Ellen Tuesday to rectify the song and his intention and started the conversation like any good non-racist should: by citing that one of his best friends is black (LL Cool J, who appears on the track). The song is being pulled from YouTube and music sites faster than you can say "publicity stunt," but you can see the lyrics here. One gem of note is LL's chorus: "If you don't judge my do-rag/I won't judge your red flag/If you don't judge my gold chains/I'll forget the iron chains." See, guys? If you just stop being afraid of black guys who wear bling, all that white guilt can go away because we're forgiven! What's that sound? Oh, it's Conan O'Brien quietly weeping in the shower, because Jimmy Fallon is officially taking over for Jay Leno by this time next year. Fallon's Late Night is by far my favorite of all the nightly talk shows, so I think he'll kill it in the earlier slot with the help of his trusty house band The Roots and Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels as producer. The Tonight Show will move back to New York with this change, the first time in 40 years, when Johnny Carson hosted. Rumored Late Night replacements include current SNL "Weekend Update" host, Seth Meyers. Imagine if you were the sibling of a popular '90s singer/actress, trying to make your own name in the business. You release a couple mediocre albums, leak a sex tape with your no-name girlfriend, even star in a VH1 reality show. Years pass and, somehow, that big-booty trick you propelled into the spotlight is now about 700 times more famous than you. What do you do? Well, if you're Ray J, you release "I Hit It First," a song with "Kim K" written all over it. And if lyrics like "She might move on to rappers and ballplayers/But we all know I hit it first" weren't obvious enough, the single cover is a pixelated photo of Kanye's baby mama: Cincinnati on TV Alert: The Cooking Channel debuts a new series, America's Best Bites, on April 20 (a perfect program to accompany your munchies. Yes, I am 17 years old). Hosted by Natalie Forte, the show travels across the country to showcase local fare and favorites. Nothing revolutionary here, but Cincy's own Daniel and Lana Wright of Abigail Street and Senate will appear on the show's third episode. Check out Abigail Street on ABB at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, May 4. Move over sloths. Step aside, oil-covered birds getting Dawn baths. My new favorite quirky cuties of the animal world are pets with cleft palates. You say deformity, I say givemeonenoooowwwww Meet Lentil. This little pup has had a rough road due to his irregular palate, but thanks to a feeding tube and a wonderful foster family, this little bean is growing to be healthy and adorable. Follow his heart-melting story on Facebook. Palate mutations are not just exhibited in dogs, though. Take it from Lazarus, vamp-kitty! Lazarus was a sickly alley cat when he was rescued, but now maintains a relatively normal kitty life, even without a nose and several teeth! And, on the topic of online pet stalking, it would be remiss to not highlight the animal Internet trend du jour: dogs in pantyhose. Big thanks to HBO for the shout out in their new HBO Go commercial!

I Just Can't Get Enough...Holidays
Jac's roundup of pop culture news and Internet findings
It's holiday time, y'all! Whether you celebrate Chrimbus, Festivus (Google it for a fun Easter egg), Ludachristmas, Eggmas or any other equally spiritual special occasion, now is that magical time of year where it's acceptable to get drunk in front of your boss and/or Grandma, go on a shopping spree at 4 a.m. and eat your weight in HoneyBaked Ham. OK, some of us do these things year-round, but now we can't be judged for it! For some reason, it's perfectly normal this time of year to go door-to-door singing unsolicited tunes to strangers. It's also a good excuse to talk to your best friend's wife, with whom you're secretly in love. Music is a major factor in this wonderfully insane season, so I've collected a sampling of this year's best holiday tunes for all the good little CityBeat readers. Gather 'round! Rapper DMX spit some classic rhymes for New York radio channel 105.1 FM: The Roots produce pure magic week to week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and all their musical projects. Earlier this year, Fallon and the crew teamed up with musical guest Carly Rae Jepsen backstage to perform her The Song That Shall Not Be Named using children's/beginner instruments. Their follow-up? Mariah Carey's infectious holiday anthem, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." And who could forget the holiday collaboration we've all been waiting for — the reunion of Sandy and Danny — This Christmas from Olivia Newton-John Travolta (easiest celeb couple name ever). Apparently everything that's ever existed is getting rebooted and, at this point, I think even my one-eyed cat has recorded a Christmas album, so it's no real shocker that the Grease duo would team up again for a holiday record. But between Travolta's Chia Pet hair, ON-J's scary Juvederm face and the following low-budge music video, This Christmas is making my eyeballs beg for the impending apocalypse. Speaking of hot messes, while it's always fun to get drunk on your employer's dime, it is important to keep yourself in check at your work's holiday party. No canoodling with co-workers, challenging your boss to a drink-off or dancing Gangnam style. Thought Catalog has some hepful dos and don'ts here. Everything is Terrible (via Videogum) got its hands on a clip from a 1988 Christmas television special starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, his Twins buddy Danny Devito, Mike Tyson, Country singer Randy Travis, old lady and champion bowler Marie Gretter and a bunch of probably terrified children. While Arnold's Austrian Antichristmas tradition may sound scary, it's not nearly as freaky as having Mike Tyson scream a Christmas carol into the face of an innocent child. Also, I'm pretty sure that when Ah-nahld manhandled the little girl who joked that he needed singing lessons, he may have brokes that little girls' ribs. This looks more like a Tim and Eric sketch than a primetime family program, but I guarantee if you show this to your kids, they will never misbehave again.It's not Christmas in America until the Kardashian-Jenner family bestows its annual holiday card upon our unworthy eyes. Peep that Photoshopped piece here and find equally funny, scary and confusing family photos in this list of "34 of the most jovially insane family holiday cards ever sent."

Are you sick of silly, humorous material taking over the internet? So is Fred Armisen. That's why he's created Be Serious for 30 Seconds. It's a project, not a contest, to generate user-created videos. The videos must contain no comedy, they must be 30 seconds or shorter, feature a five-second dramatic pause and no more than two people, contain a cutaway of an object and end with a door slam. This really is serious, so no laughing, ironic humor or purposefully poor acting. Fred explains with an example below (with Portlandia co-star Carrie Brownstein). Get it, it's not supposed to be funny, so it is! Go here to watch some of the best submissions. I sometimes find myself wondering what I'd do if anything should ever happen to my beloved pets (though I'm banking on immortalizing veterinary breakthroughs/all of us dying at the same moment during the apocalypse). This guy decided to taxidermy his cat, which might be weird for some people, but I find kind of cool. But we're not talking standard window sill-sitting pose, here. He turned his cat into a remote control kitty-copter. Watch him fly! I genuinely apologize for adding to the audio assault that is Carly Rae Jepsen's ubiquitous hit "Call Me, Maybe," but this version really is the (taxidermied) cat's pajamas. If anyone needed further proof that The Roots can make anything cool, that's it. Does bongo guy remind anyone else of this?The SCP Foundation is my nerd obsession du jour. It's one of those sites that is hard to describe, and really requires users to just jump in. But basically, it's a database of fictional classified information. Think Wikipedia of the X-Files. Pick a series, browse top rated pages, or whatever you like, and you'll find files on strange objects found and contained in a (again, fictional) headquarters. These objects range from oddly funny to legitimately terrifying. It's going to be a very Leo Christmas for moviegoers this year, as Mr. DiCaprio stars in two highly-anticipated films, Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, both out this December. With these respective directors, you'll either love 'em or hate 'em. I, for one, can't stop watching these trailers on repeat.

On May 23, The Afghan Whigs reunion officially kicked off with a sold-out show at New York City's Bowery Ballroom. Leading up to the concert, the band released a new song — a great cover of an old obscure Soul song called "See and Don't See" by Marie Queenie Lyons — as a free download through theafghanwhigs.com, then performed the tune on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
