Eddie Murphy Gossip
Eddie Murphy gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Oscars are a clusterf*ck
I have no doubt that in the long run, the 2012 Academy Awards will be fine, but man, right now, it's a mess. In the wake of Brett Ratner resigning (read: getting canned) as co-producer, Eddie Murphy, the host he recruited, quit the telecast. I have one thought about this. Full Story
A handy list of actors who think you're stupid
That's what Forbes should have called their list of "Hollywood's most overpaid stars". In and of itself, there's nothing wrong with commercial filmmaking. It's not a completely soulless endeavor, it's just that it's frustrating when movies consistently get made to the lowest common denominator and people with actual talent squander it repeatedly on trash. Full Story
Eddie Murphy hosting Oscars 2012: Golden or awful?
Written by Sarah Last month it was announced that Brett Ratner would be co-producing the Oscars in 2012. This struck me as hilarious, mostly because the Academy is so transparently desperate to put on a show that will appeal to the kids that they hired a director known for driving franchises into the ground. Full Story
Anne Hathaway's Norbit
Anne at the Palm Springs Film Festival last night more gussied up than she was on Monday at the Bride Wars premiere but still in black, and serious, and elegant, and very not frivolous despite the exceedingly frivolous and insipid and dumbassness of her new film opening this weekend Bride Wars. Maybe that's the point. Full Story
Gay with a guitar on a boat
And he's not serenading Johnny Gill! St Barts seems to be the warm weather destination of choice for celebrities this holiday - exclusive and expensive and no sign of recession. As you know, Eddie Murphy has made an obscene amount of money wearing fatsuits making the same movie over and over and over again. Full Story
What??? No.
The UK Sun is reporting that Eddie Murphy is confirmed to play The Riddler in the next Batman movie helmed by Christopher Nolan even though Nolan himself recently said that he's yet to even see a script. Full Story
Two Weeks!
Over already!!! People Magazine is reporting that after only 2 weeks of marriage, Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are DONE! Apparently, he was the one who filed for the annulment. Annulment. Hm…Marriage never consummated? Reason is not known. Full Story
Tabloid Mothers
I love this trend. Mothers with troubled daughters. Mothers estranged from daughters. Mothers going straight to the tabloids to send their daughters a message of love and encouragement. Dina Lohan, Lynne Spears…now Mel B's mother Andrea is speaking out against her sudden marriage, describing it as a "big mistake" and pleading with her daughter publicly to deal with her post pregnancy drama and the Eddie Murphy wars rationally instead of blindly putting her faith in someone with a shoddy romantic record. Full Story
Account Depletion
I can almost hear the money being drained from Eddie Murphy's bank account… You? Just one day after calling a press conference to announce that she's going after his money to support their daughter, Mel B showed up at The Ivy yesterday with none other than Eddie's ex wife Nicole. Full Story
Don't Mess with Scary
Love this bitch. It's totally ghetto but it's the only way to deal with a dead beat dad. In this case – Eddie Murphy, of course. New interview with Essence Magazine, Mel B claims she and Eddie planned the baby and also planned marriage, going so far as to reveal that she had her IUD removed so that it could happen. Full Story

The Packer's Midwest Produce Conference & Expo Aug. 13-15 in Chicago will include a consumer panel and tours of two Chicago retailers.
The opening general session consumer panel, set for 3:30 p.m. Aug. 13, focuses on consumer trends in buying fresh produce. Elizabeth Pivonka, chief executive officer of the Produce for Better Health Foundation, and Pamela Riemenschneider, editor of Produce Retailer magazine, will moderate the discussion.
Riemenschneider said the panel includes the latest Fresh Trends research and touch on hot topics including locally grown, organics, The Dirty Dozen, convenience and marketing to younger consumers.
"Live consumer panels are a great opportunity to interact with shoppers one-on-one," Riemenschneider said. "We all want to know what's on their mind as they walk the produce aisle."
In addition to the consumer panel, at 9:45 a.m. on Aug. 14 a panel of produce suppliers and panels will discuss the growing local food movement in the Midwest, in a session titled "Feeding the Locavore."
The "Urban Markets Tour," from 9 a.m.-noon Aug. 15, includes trips to a Shop and Save Market and a Mariano's Fresh Market.
Both stores are in downtown Chicago and are evidence of a resurgence of "urban retail" markets in the city core.
The last day of Midwest Produce includes tours of the Chicago International Produce Market and two produce distributors, Testa Produce and the Anthony Marano Co.
Taken together, the retail and wholesale tours provide an important learning opportunity for Midwest Produce attendees, said Shannon Shuman, The Packer's publisher.
"The last day of the event will be very educational with retail tours that will highlight some of the most modern urban retail trends, in addition to a behind-the-scenes look at the some state-of-the-art produce distribution operations," he said.
Brian Holzkopf, director of produce for Des Plaines, Ill.-based Shop and Save, said Midwest Produce attendees will tour the chain's Archer location in downtown Chicago, which opened about a year-and-a-half ago.
Shop and Save opened its first store a decade ago, Holzkopf said. It has added four more since, with a sixth store expected to open at the end of 2012.
Fresh produce has played a central in the chain's success.
"When you go into the store, you don't even see registers or groceries," Holzkopf said. "Perishables are the first third of the store, and produce is the first focal point."
One of the aims of the tour is to let convention attendees see how seriously independent retailers take produce, Holzkopf said.
"We want to show it's not just the big guys who are supporting the produce industry."
Shop and Save's Archer store, which stocks about 600 fresh produce items on a daily basis, is located just ten minutes from the terminal market, and many market workers stop at the store on the way home, Holzkopf said.
The chain's produce team is what Holzkopf calls a "one-two punch" of himself and Patrick Morales, a buyer who walks the market every day.
Part of Shop and Save's success, Holzkopf says, has come from catering to local residents. In the case of the Archer store, that means a largely Polish customer base. The store makes sure its produce department features plenty of cabbage, beets and carrots to satisfy that clientele, Holzkopf said.
Locally grown is another big produce category for Shop and Save. Michigan peaches and Illinois and Wisconsin sweet corn are just a couple of the many big summer sellers at the store, Holzkopf said.
In addition to leading the retail tour, the company's first for a convention, Holzkopf looks forward to attending Midwest Produce.
"Last time was the first time we went to PMA, and we're at the point where we're trying to learn more and more about the industry in general," he said.

My Grandma Loved It! December 11, 2014
I sent this gift to my Grandma, who lives in SC, for her 81st birthday in early December. She was floored! She absolutely loved the packaging and the cookies. She said she wouldn't throw it away until I come down from NJ to visit in August so I could see how lovely the boxes were, lol. Aside from calling to thank me for the gift, she wanted me to know (and emphasized this quite firmly) that if I hadn't done business with GiftTree prior to this, that I should again because the item was that lovely, that high quality, and that well-packaged for shipping. She was floored and so was I. Thank you for making GG's birthday a huge hit! I will definitely be a return customer.

I do it sometimes, not all the time. But I always love it and it's a major turn on.
I love eating other guys cum too.
I might have another go tonight - Girlfriend is on her period so Ive saved up a nice supply!
I did it!
I went for a shower, spent a good hour edging before it. I lay on my back, flipped over so my legs were against the wall and only had to get myself so far before the sensation took over and I came without need of my hand.
I got a good mouthful of 4 - 5 good jets!
I flipped over onto my hands and knees, before I even had the chance to regret it, lose interest in it I swallowed it down! Bit of an odd taste, it will be a while before I do it again me thinks (fear of it being thicker) - But at least now I can say I have swallowed a full mouthful of my own fresh, still warm cum!
After my first time trying it, I swore I would never do anything like that again. HAHAHA. How wrong I was! Anytime I get the urge, I'll lie back just like you did, legs up, stroke myself, eyes close to my hard cock, then take my hot load all over my face and in my mouth. But, of course, I will never do it again........HAHAHA.
Congratulations Cumslut!
Homophobia kills!
After a few hours of edging, I did the same thing.......legs up, over my head........enjoyed a nice warm load on my lips, in my mouth......very exciting indeed. I am beginning to love the taste.
Hey guys, I made myself a new yahoo ID, anyone want to chat with me about the thread topic or just in general bicurious_82 on yahoo messnger!
First time poster here. Married, straight but without a doubt bi-curious.
I've done the flipped-contortion act before and tasted my own cum - it was the only way I could do it w/o deciding not to complete the attempt - and it tasted about as expected. That was many years ago (perhaps 10 years) and I'm considering re-trying though I absolutely hate the uncomfortable position of the semi-handstand maneuver - takes the fun out of it for me. I've also cum inside a girlfriend before and, after about 15-20 of recharge for round-two (again about 10 years ago), gone down on her and tasted my previous load co-mingling inside her. This was very, very hot.
My usual MO is to jerk at a consistent pace for about 15-20 minutes before the pre-cum starts flowing. I, like many of you, have no issues or mental blocks trying this. But once ejaculation has occurred, the desire to take the reward and put it in my mouth has completely passed.
I do get the occasional false-start cum, I haven't completely busted a nut yet but some thick cum has started oozing out of my throbbing dick. That I will also taste w/o hesitation, driven by the sexual urge still to full-out cum.
But other than the load of my own 10 years ago, I've never had an experience where a full-load to the mouth was 100% wanted. I think the only option for me is to taste someone else's prior to my own ejaculation. Otherwise, whether its mine or someone else, I'm not gonna want any jizz in my mouth after I'm done.
Definitely a mental hang-up I hope to get rid of one day. Practice makes perfect?
I do all the time and LOVE it!!
Tempted again boys! This would make the second time if successful.....
Anyone wanna chat, compare thoughts Bicurious_82 on yahoo, would love to chat more!
I've done it this way a few times now, and it is a contortion and takes some of the pleasure away.
And same here, once I've cum the desire to eat it dissipates.
But having done it a few times this way it certainly makes it easier to eat and wanting it as I've cum, I've learned to control my orgasm/cum a little and make it last so I can eat some before I've finished. But I don't always manage it!!
Recently Ive started edging to the point where I can release a string of weak cum and let it trickle down the shaft. Its a great sensation and i gotta admit I love the view - Probably not right to be turned on by your own cock, but I swear it looks as if its so thick, desperate to cum, balls tight up against the body and factor in the trail of cum right down the shaft!
Awesome view!
Last night I scooped up some of the trail and tasted it, thick stuff and really strong tasting - Turned me to the point I wanted to edge more and could envision taking another mouthful. But i didnt have time (sore neck at the moment as well) so I had to settle for just blowing it over my chest!
Cumslut, you're thoughts are reflected in my own behavior. The very best is still licking it from the pussy you've just cum in, or taking another man's load. You should really try these!
loved it thats why i gave my first bj
Hey guys, keeping my own thread alive here it seems.
Day off from work, so i thought Id spend the day edging, build up a potentially nice juicy load and bust said nut in the shower. That wont be for another 5 hours so imagine the hard on Ill be wearing all day!
Always open to suggestions, dares, maybe even a pic request or two! Guess thats my submissive side coming through!
I'll let the board decide (if anyone replies) what to do with tonights load!
Although I have tried my own cum on more than once occasion, it was not until this past weekend that I visited a rather dom guy that I know quite well that anyone ever fed my own cum to me. He had me pinned down.....I sucked him a while, then he reached back and stroked my cock until I couldn't hold back and came all over myself. He scooped up my load and fed it to me and demanded that I eat it and lick his fingers clean. By the time it was over, I was hard again! I loved every second of my submissive side coming out like that!
Shame hardly anyone ever wants to play in this thread
Ill play!
I to often lose the desire to eat after I cum. But I usually give myself a facial theres no turning back at that point. Once the cum hits my face most of the times I keep horny and in the mindset and enjoy it. I also have saved it before came back an hour later and played with it when I was horny again!
I love my cum!
My days of self sucking are officially over - I tried it not long ago and felt like I was within an inch of breaking my neck. Coupled with the few days of neck pain that followed I have to say I wont be trying that one again.
I think as long as I can comfortably throw the legs over I should still be able to have fun with a little bit of cum eating but not straight from the "faucet" as it were.
i love the taste and texture of mine, and i have been lucky enough, to sample that of 3 of my partners. as for pussy, i had a 3some with my best friend last year, , and and i ate pussy, licked her for over an hour, no real taste at all,
Have only tasted my own and like many others, the urge seems to dissipate after I cum. I have worked through this and love to shoot off in my mouth and on my face. I take as much as I can...For what ever reason, it keeps me coming back for more from time to time. The more I think about it the more I want it. So, I keep trying it. I know I would love to take it from another man, especially while I am still horny before I cum. I guess we could agree to take turns who goes first. That opprotunity has never happened, thus far...I am only curious with no experience with another guy at all. Until then, I guess I will keep trying my own. I love looking at my hard cock and wish I could experience a close up inspection of another, to completion...
Shot in my mouth for a 2nd load after sucking of my fwb. He really got off on seeing it as well!

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Since the release of the first Android Honeycomb tablet (the Motorola Xoom), we've seen a parade of more or less identical devices. Some are thinner or sport better cameras or extra ports, but they all run the same software on the same 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor.
The Lenovo IdeaPad K1 is no exception. Priced at $499 (32GB) and available in three color options (red, white, and black), Lenovo's Honeycomb (upgradeable to Android 4.0) tablet is neither the thinnest, the cheapest, the prettiest, nor the best equipped. Instead, Lenovo's tablet sits modestly in the middle of the pack.
Editors note: For the differences between Honeycomb and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) check out the Android 4.0 breakdown comparison on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime review.
Design and hardware featuresIf we had to pick the IdeaPad K1 out of a lineup, the two-tone design on the back would be the giveaway. Weaving a mixture of sturdy aluminum and glossy plastic, the tablet's back has a good hand feel that suffers only slightly from visible smudges.
The second telltale feature of the K1 is its dedicated home button, located on the right side of the 10.1-inch screen (when held in landscape orientation). Considering the onscreen navigation controls baked into Honeycomb, the physical home button is redundant. It's not pointless, though. Aside from fitting naturally under your right thumb while gripping the tablet, the physical button has a few cool tricks. For instance, holding the button down will capture a snapshot of the current screen. A downward swipe on the button will back you out of apps or menus. It's neat, though we have to admit that it was triggered accidentally on several occasions.
The rest of the design choices are all fairly predictable. On the left side you'll find a power button, volume rocker, screen orientation lock, and a microSD card slot. The bottom edge offers a Micro-HDMI port, a headphone jack, and a dock input that works both for charging and USB sync. Shutterbugs will also notice a 2-megapixel camera on the front and a 5-megapixel camera (with flash) on the back.
Lenovo's spin on Android
Android tablet makers are in a tough position. Android purists are always quick to criticize when a manufacturer monkeys with Google's code or bundles unnecessary software. But without these idiosyncrasies, it's nearly impossible to make a Honeycomb tablet that can stand out and showcase a company's brand.
For better or worse, the Android 3.1 installed on the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 is not for purists. It comes with more than 30 apps preinstalled, ranging from big names like Netflix and Kindle, to in-house productions, like SocialTouch (a messaging aggregator) and Lenovo App Shop.
The best of Android 3.1 is still here, though. You get the official Android Market, along with Google's mobile apps for Maps, Gmail, Navigation, Books, and Google Talk. The celebrated Honeycomb Web browser is located literally front and center on the IdeaPad's home screen, housed within an editable dashboard of common actions (watching videos, reading e-mail, listening to music, and reading books). Lenovo calls this central dashboard the "Lenovo Launcher," and though we thought it was a useful addition, you have the freedom to delete it if you choose.

Why buy canned or bottled sauce? If you're on a budget or want to control additives, such as sodium and sugar, this all-purpose sauce is ready in 15 minutes. Double the batch so there's some extra to freeze. Makes 2 cups.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons sweet basil, dried, or ¼ cup fresh chopped
- ¼ cup water or broth
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in pan, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until onion is barely translucent.
- Add tomatoes and basil, stir and bring to low boil for 3-5 minutes depending on desired thickness.
Per ½ cup serving: 65 calories, 2g protein, 8g carbohydrate, 4g fat, 1g sat fat, 3g mono fat, 0mg cholesterol, 2g fiber, 11mg sodium
THE SEASONED COOK Most people think of tomato sauce as just a basic for pasta, but when you're making your own--why be ordinary? Try adding more heat with chili flakes, sweetness with diced carrots, or a chunkier texture with mushrooms, zucchini, or white beans. Tomatoes have nutrients which are known for lowering your LDL cholesterol.

I have coax running from the TV to the receiver. I had hoped to try the A/B box today by that didn't work out. Then the audio will run from DTV box to A/B box then coax back to receiver.
At this point I'll say that you have no idea what you are doing. Your system is wired wrong, setup wrong, and needs to be redone (from scratch). And I'll say that it is beyond your ability to do it.
You really need to hire a pro but since you won't even spend the money on a much needed remote, you certainly are not going to pay money to a professional to do it right.
You say "you want the best sound". But that's not true, you seem to want the cheapest price and easiest hookup. The two are always mutually exclusive!
The solution for you here is:
Rig everything up till you can get video and audio and then be happy with it. You will not miss the ease of use and performance that having it done right would bring. Because doing it right does cost quite a bit of money (to one unwilling to spend it) and is very complicated to install and program (for the average person).

It is only impossible if you demand to meet impossible conditions. Kind of like demanding that you want to drive from the passenger seat of your car but you can only use rubber bands from your daily newspaper and spent straws and popsicle sticks to make it happen.You say "you want the best sound". But that's not true, you seem to want the cheapest price and easiest hookup. The two are always mutually exclusive!
Depending on the equipment involved, it may be possible (though incredibly difficult and likely expensive) to remote the AVR. It would likely involve the use of a coaxial digital audio cable and maybe MacGyvering a mirror to the wall behind the TV to reflect the IR remote signal.
The secret lies in recognizing what must be done and not summarily ruling it out because you lack the creativity or experience to figure it out.
The biggest deficit is the OP's firm avoidance of sharing make and model information. It could be that the equipment has the ability to do what is necessary built it but we cannot make any such assumptions.

Don't you have any room by the TV for your A/V equipment? If not, I'd suggest you delay any further work on this project until you replace your TV. Then either wall mount your new TV or place it on an equipment stand which can hold your AVR, satellite box, turntable and DVD player. You'll find it to be a lot less complicated and easier to install and use. In my MBR, I have a42 inch LCD TV mounted on a Z-line 3 chelf equipment stand, which is holding a Pioneer AVR, Ion turntable, Insignia HD Radio tuner, TiVo Premier DVR, Wii, Kodak Home Theater, Roku, Panasonic 3D Blu-ray player, Toshiba HD DVD player and Panasonic VCR/DVD Recorder and still have space. My center channel speaker is on a small shelf I mounted below the TV on the TV support.Yup I get the long cables mean loss of signal part but for several reasons putting the receiver ( and other stuff like CD player turntable) on the other side of the room was the only way to do this and have anything at all..
All I am looking for is the best sound I can get with what I am dealing with.
The DTV box is an HR20-700, Receiver is Sony STR-DE898- As I said the TV is being replaced soon but I do not know what it will be. Speakers are Polk Audio except for Sub Woofer
Using an A?B box to switch between TV and DVD is not a problem
My damily room has a stand mounted 55 inch Sony RPTV, with an adjacent vertical equipment rack holding other components. my center channel speaker is on the stand, with remaining space being occupied by my grandkids' board games.

His room is wired with all the speaker wires located in the rear, that's why is A/V receiver is located there. He does not want to go thru the labor and expense of moving all the speaker wires to the location up front with the rest of the A/V equipment (and maybe there isn't room either?).
He could locate all his source equipment where the A/V receiver is, but that also would require pulling more wire from there to TV (and depending on length and how the wire has to run - baluns). Again, labor and expense he doesn't want to spend.
It is what it is, until he wants to get more serious with his setup.

Because of the configuration of room ( and that the stereo equipment was there before the TV) The TV and the receiver are about 10-12 feet apart in a straight line. 2 Rear speakers were wired in place during a room remodel and those lines run through the walls, and under the floor and back to receiver.
Wires to center and sub woofer go from receiver under the floor and come back up behind TV. L&R front speaker wires are under the floor from receiver and come up at the speakers.
The 2 audio lines now run from A/B box under the floor and back up to the receiver.
Everything works and the sound is better than it was a couple of days ago. When I get the new TV it may, or may not, be viable to move stereo equipment to the same stand as TV. It is not a question of money or putting in the effort. It just may not work.
I understand that there is some line loss because of the length of the runs but I have to wonder how noticeable it is.
There are limitations in the room that will eventually determine what happens here. I accept that I will not have the best sound experience but I would like the best possible sound based on what I have to work with.
Posted 03 July 2012 - 10:37 AM
Wires to center and sub woofer go from receiver under the floor and come back up behind TV. L&R front speaker wires are under the floor from receiver and come up at the speakers.
That being said, couldn't you have your A/V receiver with your TV? You could connect the center, sub and L/R speakers directly to the A/V receiver, and use the current speaker wire that goes to the back of the room for your rears (even if you have to splice)?
Might make things much simpler.

It might .......but would there be enough of a difference in sound quality to make it worth doing?
In all probability, yes.. In looking at a picture of the rear panel of your receiver, it appears that it has two component inputs, two optical audio inputs and two coaxial audio inputs.You didn't state whether your A-B switch is an auto switch, remote controlled switch or manual switch, but you might not need it. If you connect the component output of your DVD player to one of the component inputs of the AVR (and optical output of the DVD player to one of the optical inputs), and the component output of your satellite receiver to the other component input of the AVR (optical output of the satellite receiver to second optical input on the AVR), then connect the component output of your AVR to the component input of your TV, you would have the best possible combination of sound and video quality and do without the A/B switch.

Having an A/B box in the system is adding 1 more component that can fail, taking up space, complicating the operation of things, degrading performance, and if you move the Sony amp to the other equipment, not needed.
What you still have not stated (and some are assuming one way or the other), is how you have these devices hooked up? Meaning:
Audio = Are you using digital out from your sources to the digital audio inputs on your Sony Amp? Or are you using analog audio connections (left & right / white & red RCA)?
Video = HDMI into TV from sources, component video (red, green, blue), composite video (yellow)?
When you get your new TV, it will most certainly be a 1080p resolution of some sort. In order to get the 1080p signal to you TV, it has to hooked up with an HDMI cable. Your current Sony Amp doesn't do HDMI switching but that's OK. You just connect a HDMI cable from each source to TV (TV does the video switching). Then a digital audio cable goes from each source to the amp (amp does the audio switching).
Unless you want a stack of remotes laying around to switch everything, you NEED a universal remote control.
You push the button to watch satellite = The remote sends out the codes to switch the TV to the correct input, amp to the right input, and is ready to work the satellite box (with volume working the amp). Just 1 button push.
You push the button to watch DVD/Bluray = Same thing, everything is set to the right inputs on the TV and amp and is ready to work the DVD/Bluray player (with volume working the amp). Just 1 button push.
Hit the OFF button = Everything turns off. Just 1 button push.
I'll let the rest of the guys advise you on what universal would work best for you, that you could program yourself. I generally only work with the more professional remotes that are more expensive and require more indepth programming from my laptop. Regardless you can get a good universal for less then $99... maybe even less than $50 that will do what you need.
Note: Whatever new TV you get, make sure it's controllable! Meaning it has discrete codes for on/off and input. A lot of cheap TVs don't, they only have toggle codes for power & input. That would be a problem for a control system (universal remote). Your Sony amp responds to discrete codes, so you are good there.

With the new TV moving the receiver may be possible. One issue will be space for CD player and turntable, yeah I still play records.
I appreciate all the help
Posted 03 July 2012 - 10:26 PM
The audio connections are analog.
And there is yet another issue you have. You are not getting 5.1 surround sound, even thou everything you have is capable of doing it. It just isn't hooked up correctly to do it. You need to hookup the digital audio outputs from your sources to the Sony amp's digital audio inputs.
I won't even get into it here, as it would take pages more discussion. But I will bet you top dollar none (or at least most) of your speakers are not setup properly either.
If you really want to get everything right (the way it should be) and get the best picture and sound out of your system; it is going to be a long road to go down. You have a ton of stuff you are going to need to learn and know to get there. And since you seem to be starting out at the most basic level; it will probably take you awhile to research everything, ask the right questions, get the answers you need, and act on it.
One of the biggest obstacles you will likely run into, is getting the advice you need. There are many great books and publications you could buy. However that can get expensive (you could have hired someone for the price). The cheaper way of course is the forum boards. But it should go without saying " you are on the internet". Everyone is a self proclaimed expert, even thou many have no idea what they are talking about. You have to look closely at who's giving you advice.
Everything in this thread so far from everyone has been great. But that won't always be the case when your asking questions, sometimes you will get conflicting answers.
My favorite line: "Rocket science: it's just throwing fuel in a tube right!"
A/V systems are VERY complicated. It only seems simple to someone throwing something together that just makes noise and has colors on a screen. It's FAR more complicated to get an accurate sound reproduction and an accurate picture on a video display. 80%+ of people who have systems in their home, fall into the noise & colors category.
Posted 04 July 2012 - 06:56 AM
Getting the colors right is another discussion when I get the new TV

DVI carries all the video information that HDMI does (often including the HDCP copy protection stuff). This is the connection of preference if it supports HDCP as this will become a big issue going forward.The connection looks like the Kind used on CRT monitors. I have an HDMI cable out of the DTV box to an adapter that is plugged in there

What is the difference,if any, between coaxial digital and coax?
Posted 04 July 2012 - 12:36 PM
I wouldn't say that it was good but rather that it is sufficient.So TOSLink is good for short runs-the equipment is close to each other?
Optical is optical and coax is electrical. Coax works on voltages (with very little current) where optical works, typically, using LED light and cheap plastic optical pipe.What is the difference,if any, between coaxial digital and coax?
If you have the option of coaxial DIGITAL, it is usually the better choice. If you have to parcel it out, use coaxial digital for your best sources (Blu-ray, DVD) and optical for the less wonderful sources (or the ones that don't have coaxial digital outputs).
There is much Internet traffic on the subject of coaxial digital versus optical if you really want to fill your head. Many discussions center around the term "jitter".

Butter knife teeth.
Mad props and kudos go out to Scud for adding Preternia.com to Around the Net!
1. In the Q&A rounds there are often some suggestions made, like an orb holder for King Grayskull's orb that is now coming with the Temple of Darkness Sorceress. Are there any items in MotU Classics that have been inspired by us, who ask questions- and if so, what items are those?
We do look at fan boards and requests and many times our designers who are also huge fans are thinking along the same lines. We also had orbs rolling off our desks and wanted something to hold it!
2. The Snout Spout Staction came with a wrench that could be clipped onto his axe- while the "Jaws of Life" are a cool accessory, this one was somehow missing. Can we hope for this little accessory maybe with a later figure - or even a fire fighters two pack?
It is always possible but nothing is planned right now.
3. If Man-At-Arms would have been released in a two-pack, who would he have been packed with?
He would be great paired with any number of characters both villains or heroes. But there are no 2 packs planned right now.
4. There have often been some informations on upcoming figures been leaking. Have you shuffled any figures to keep the surpise factor, after those figures have been rumored?
No, we don't have the time table to change anything. This is why we try to keep our announcements until we are ready. If you want to be surprised, stop reading leaks! You can't have it both ways.
5. Congratulations for explaining, why Faker is blue-skinned! But... if Gar are not trustworthy on Eternia... why is Sy-Klone a member of the Masters of the Universe?
Keep reading the bios!MOTUClassics.com
MOTUClassics.Com Asks: We understand that all of Mattel figures are subject to the same safety standards regardless of the 'adult collector' label, but do the Snakemen teeth have to be so rounded/dull? Is there anyway to make them appear more fierce and stay within safety guidelines?
Yes, we do have standards. Although these are adult collectables out of the box they work as kids toys so we have to apply that standard.http://www.MOTULA.foroactivo.net
1-If the equipment wore by Zodac Zur and Kar-Tor were given to them alongside their roles as Enforcers, where did The Goddess get the one she gave to Wun Dar?
-That will be revealed in time.
2-Once the remaining 2 characters from the 30th ann have been revealed, could we then look at the bios and see something that will "relate" those six characters to one another? I mean would there be an underlying motive for those 6 characters to belong on the same line?
-No, all 6 will not be related. But some will.
3-Since He-Ro and Grayskull used the same sword at one point or another did they have the same strenght as He-Man?
-No. He-Man has the most.
4-Now, with Filmation rights, you can make high fan-demanded characters, such as The Sea Hawk. If Sea Hawk comes out, which version do you like to see? Normal version or with weapons and equipment from his father Falcon (as we saw him in "Anchors Aloft" episodes)? I'm such a big fan of this character and even I know that there are no concrete plans to see him I hope him to be released in MOTUC someday.
-That remains to be seen. We don't have a Sea Hawk figure planned right now so this conversations simply has not happened.
5-If Adam and Adora are Grayskull descendants, and Grayskull has a deceased brother, who follows this kinship to the twins? Does Grayskull has any sons? Are we going to see the full kinship to the present?
-Always possible. Keep reading the bios!Preternia.com NEW!!!
Now that you have the Filmation rights, would a Filmation Skeletor be more of an added head to another figure ala Demo-Man, or his own release in the variant quarterly slot?
While we are going to be doing new Filmation characters (like Shadow Weaver) in Classics style, there really aren't plans to do "animated" versions of the characters or Filmation versions unless the Filmation version is extremely different from the vintage/classic toy. King Randor is a good example as his Filmation look was very different from his toy.
The TRU Bizarro/Battle Armor Fakor went really fast and was never available at actual retail. Is there any plans to revisit the Battle Armor Fakor figure or even a reissue of that two-pack?
No, there will be no further production of this 2 pack.
Are Filmation variants going to be taking up the quarterly variant slots or will they be more like Vikor where they are different enough that they deserve their own monthly slot?
As mentioned above, if a character had a true different version/outfit in either Filmation or 200X they could be a candidate for a Quarterly slot. Randor (once again) is an example that works for both series actually! (not that this is a hint, just a good visual example).
When do you think we will get our first look at Granamyr?
He will be shown at SDCC.
I'm sure by now you have seen some of the Castle Greyskull front dioramas various people on the internet have made. Is there any consideration to doing a display piece like this instead of a full on playset that could cost multiple hundreds of dollars?
We have brought this to management several times and they were very clear that if we were to do Castle Grayskull we would not want to compromise and go all the way with a full playset.Infinite Hollywood
1. With so many diverse toy lines out there, especially ones aimed at the collector's market, what do you attribute MOTUC's success to?
Passionate fans and a great bank of characters to choose from. In the end it is all the fans.
2. If you make a Gwildor figure, what's the over/under on him coming with a bucket of chicken?
Oh, totally must do the bucket of chicken!
3. Will Mattel every pursue a Julie Winston figure? Just like the Filmation rights were once off the table, will that be something that you might eventually want?
Not while the 1987 movie rights are unavailable.ElkkThunder's Toyroom
Any update on the Digital River enhancements to the website for subscribers.
Yes. It is coming. Right now the lawyers are holding it up while contracts are signed. But we are close!
There was a user report of credit card being stolen after use on Mattycollector. This was posted and then subsequently reports being called by Digital River- is this anything you have heard about?
We investigated this and it turned out to be not true. The post was a fraud, not the incident.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Kastor's Korner
Kastor's Korner: Recently, we noticed a figure named "Double Trouble" in the Skylanders toy series. Will this cause a potential problem with naming the Princess of Power character, like it did for Flipshot/ Icarius?
Matty: It is possible. We will have to cross that bridge when we come to her. It may be a case of a new name like Battle Fist vs. Fisto. But it will be the same character.
Kastor's Korner: The final release Temple of Darkness Sorceress was confirmed to have Teela's boots at Toy Fair, but is there a chance she can have Teela's entire legs, including the hip swivel that is missing on the new v.2 female body? We have really been missing this joint on the newer MOTU women.
Matty: No. We are only changing the boots.

That was kind of a rude answer. I don't think they were saying they did or didn't want to be surprised, they were just asking if they reshuffle the deck when leaks are made. I enjoy these Q & A's, or well I used to, but I am really growing tired of the smart-@$$ answers when they aren't warranted or needed.
if you translate the answer it reads as follows...
"WHAT? How the hell should I know?... He could be packed with just about anyone, If your asking who I would like to see him packed with --- I really couldn't tell you, way too much effort to think about that. I'm busy... go away!"
I can't wait to see Granamyr!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
Awww the pressure is getting to poor ole' Scooter! No seriously though people- stop leaking all over the line!
Also I totally call Goddess being a Trollan goddess or something to explain why she had access to the vest- or they will use Guardians of Grayskull but I doubt it.
I don't see why we even have a Q&A. Mattel never wants to reveal anything anyway. The answers are always just like the 30th figures, unimpressive and lacking imagination (with the exception of Draego-Man).

MESA, Ariz. – Dontrelle Willis can dream.
But he's in no place to do that – mentally or literally – as he unpacks his belongings and moves into a locker in the Cubs' minor-league clubhouse Wednesday afternoon.
A few hours earlier the same room was bustling with big-league ballplayers, including seven-time All-Star Alfonso Soriano, who occupied the stall that now belongs to Willis.
Now the room is quiet and strewn with box parts and tape, after the big leaguers cleared out to move up the street for the start of spring training games, Willis having come in a back door after everyone else was gone to claim his place and get to work.
``You just never know. Crazier things have happened,'' says the left-hander with a World Series ring, a 22-win season, two All-Star appearances and more baffling setbacks in his career than victories since then.
``But you have to be straight with yourself,'' he adds. ``Let's take baby steps here. I was out of baseball four months ago, so to be in the big leagues – let's just be humble and work hard and go from there.''
It's hard to get more humble than Fitch Park on a cold, rainy day in February.
``I was telling my family, we laugh about it, that I'm actually in the same locker room as I was when I was 18, 19 years old,'' he says. ``That's a really cool feeling that everything comes full circle.''
He can hope. At some point maybe dream.
For now, the man once known as the D-Train – a guy who at one time joined Ken Griffey Jr. as one of only two major leaguers who had a Nike shoe named after him – returns to his original organization at 31 the way he left at 20 in that ill-fated trade to the Florida Marlins: as a minor-leaguer far from the big leagues with a lot to prove.
The Cubs plan to use him at least early in the Cactus League schedule as a backup in games for the scheduled pitchers.
And Willis, who wound up here in large part through relationships he has with several people in the organization, said he's preparing for any role, including possible relief, despite the fact he's started in all but three of his 205 big-league games and that media reports said a disagreement over his role was behind his sudden exit and "retirement" from the Baltimore Orioles' AAA affiliate last summer.
Of that official retirement, he said Wednesday it was all about ``an illness in the family'' that forced him to return home to Scottsdale, Ariz.
``Once everything got better with the situation, now everybody wanted me to get out,'' he said, laughing.
The confusion over the split with the Orioles is just part of that lengthy, improbable, and surreal path he took to wind up back where he started.
It's a path that took him to the top of the game barely a year after the trade – winning 14 games and the Rookie of the Year award in 2003 for the Marlins team that broke Cub fans' hearts, the following that up two years later with a 22-10 season that put him second to Chris Carpenter in Cy Young voting.
He never had a winning season again, his ERA and walk rates rising as he went first to Detroit in the Miguel Cabrera trade, then to five more organizations in three years – winning just four big-league games the last five years combined.
What happened?
``I don't know, man,'' says Willis, who more than once was put on the disabled list by the Tigers for anxiety disorder after repeated bouts of the "yips," though the clinical depth of the diagnoses isn't clear, and he wasn't prescribed medication.
``I get asked that all the time, and I don't really care enough to really – I'm not that complex of a guy. … Maybe in Detroit I was trying too hard. … When you're trying hard and stuff like that, then it gets complex.
``But then after that I had fun playing baseball again.''
Whether he ever wears a Cubs uniform on the mound at Wrigley Field, Willis will always have a place etched painfully into the heart of Cubs lore as a member of the 2003 Marlins – coincidentally the starting pitcher who was shelled by the Cubs in a loss that put the Marlins down three games to one and set the stage for infamy.
Three days later, he pitched an inning of relief of the fateful Game 6 and was in the dugout when Moises Alou and Steve Bartman converged.
``When that happened, I'll never forget [catcher] Mike Redmond,'' Willis says, ``who yells in the dugout, `Let's make that guy famous!'
``If you tried to play it out again, it probably wouldn't happen. You probably wouldn't get those hits; [Alex] Gonzalez, a Gold Glover, he probably doesn't boot that ball. It's just the stars were aligned right, and it just fell our way.
``To be able to beat a team that was probably one of the better Cubs teams of all time, it's probably one of the monumental victories for us. Going into Yankee Stadium was actually easier, if you believe it or not, than going into Wrigley.
``I mean, you could smell it, going in there. It's 3-1, it's 100 years. … It's the reason we love sports, because there's always a sense you might be part of something great, or see something great.''
Maybe that helps explain why he's here on this day, unpacking boxes, claiming a spot in another minor-league clubhouse.
``It goes fast,'' he says when reminded that Bartman game was nearly 10 years ago. ``Some of the coaches have been telling stories about how they kicked my butt. It's fun in that aspect.
``But,'' he adds, snapping his fingers, ``it's gone like that.''
