Koochie and Family, I am saddened to learn of Ronnie's passing.
I have been 'privileged' to have known Ronnie since I was a teen in the Skylark era. Fond memories and a great era on the Outer Banks.
Ronnie was always a source of wisdom, advice and inspiration to me and a true Outer Banker!
I will miss the stories and laughs.
RIP Ronnie

17 Powerful #YesAllWomen Tweets
If you were scrolling through Twitter this weekend, you probably spotted the hashtag: #YesAllWomen. The hashtag began in response to the senseless tragedy in Isla Vista, Ca. on Friday, when Santa Barbara City College student Elliot Rodger went on a rampage killing six people, including two women outside the Alpha Phi Sorority house at the University of California Santa Barbara, and injured an additional thirteen.
In a horrific final video posted on his YouTube page, Rodger said: "I do not know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it. I don't know what you don't see in me."
While Rodger's killing spree extended beyond the Alpha Phi Sorority house and girls who had rejected him, the misogynistic tone of entitlement in his final video resonated with women all over the world, who took to Twitter to share their own experiences male entitlement, using the hashtag #YesAllWomen. Of course no, not all men murder others when they are rejected, but yes all women have experienced sexual harrassment or fear or worse at some point in their lives. Check out some of the most powerful #YesAllWomen tweets, below.

A Billings man faces accusations that he tried to force another man into his pickup at gunpoint and threatened to shoot him.
Tyler Daniel Gilstrap, 25, appeared in Yellowstone County Justice Court by video from the county jail on Tuesday, where Judge David Carter charged him with one felony count each of assault with a weapon and attempted kidnapping.
He set Gilstrap's bond at $25,000 and ordered him to appear in District Court on April 18.
Charging documents say that a man told county sheriff's deputies that Gilstrap showed up at his Lockwood home on April 11 and asked him to tell him the truth about his father's death.
The man reported that he and Gilstrap's father were good friends and that Gilstrap's father drowned in January after he fell through the ice while the two were on an ice fishing trip together at Fort Peck.
As the man recounted the story to Gilstrap on April 11, he noticed the barrel of a revolver sticking out from Gilstrap's shorts. Charging documents say that Gilstrap then called the man a liar and told him he was going to die before pulling out the gun, cocking the hammer and pointing it at the man's head.
The man pushed the gun away from his face and Gilstrap pointed it at the ground and "appeared to fire it on an empty chamber" before turning it around and holding like he "was going to pistol whip" the man, the affidavit states.
Gilstrap then ordered the man to walk over to his shop and threatened to shoot him if he didn't, according to court documents. They go on to state that he told the man to get into the bed of his pickup before saying, "Get in, this is where you're gonna die."
Fearing he'd be either assaulted or shot, the man refused and ran into his house after neighbors arriving distracted Gilstrap, the affidavit states.
A short time later, a deputy responded to a report of someone firing a shot in the 300 block of Juniper Drive and found Gilstrap inside a pickup with a revolver, shotgun shells and a soft rifle case, according to charging documents.
The caller, who knows Gilstrap, told police that Gilstrap's mental status has changed recently, that it gets worse when he drinks and that he'd recently threatened to commit suicide.
"During transport (to the jail), (Gilstrap) apologized, stated he did nothing wrong, and that 'he killed my dad,'" the court documents state.

Free shipping from Shop At Home in the USA!
Posted by Huw,If you're in the USA you can take advantage of LEGO Shop At Home's free shipping offer until the end of November!
Simply click the on this image or any of the 'Buy Now' links on this site, make your product selections totalling $99 or more then quote code FSA99 when you checkout!
17 comments on this article
Is there some trick to this? Usually it seems that this type of stuff only ever happens if you order like $300 or more.
Oh wait. I really should have looked at the image before I said that.
(sorry for the double post)
Yeah, sorry, should have added 'on orders over $99' !
It always seems that they have free shiping when I don't want anything. The only thing I am looking at buying now is that new coast guard-rescue set. Just type helicopter in the search area above and select 2008 when you get the results. I have seen a photo of this set in Lego magazine so I hope that we get a photo on this site soon.
Oh man. I just places an order a couple of days ago. But its ok. I did get $5.00 off.
In Lego Magazine:
$5.00 off an order $35.00 or more. Enter code: SP117
Offer ends December 31, 2007 at 11:59pm EST.
There is also a coupon in the magazine for $5.00 off any purchase of $35.00 or more at the Lego Store. Coupon expires 12/31/07.
Anybody want it? I live in Ohio and I don't see myself get to a Lego Store anytime soon.
I wish there was this offer here in Ireland. Orders over €75 ($110) require €15 ($22) for standard shipping.
It means anything beyond a gigantic order isn't worthwhile.
Cool! I always hate to pay for shipping(and tax).
Just a friendly reminder to those that live near a LEGO store... if there is something you want that they have online, but the neighborhood LEGO store does not have it, you can go into the store and order it from lego.com and still get free shipping. :) just a reminder with the holidays coming up and the all the sales.
and you have to be IN the store to get free shipping. I should have put that reminder in there as well. sorry!
ya. im gonna use that offer to get a bunch of sets along with that 5 buks off the magazine gives us and use that lego store coupon over thanksgiving break.
the new lego racers were released in the lego shop at burlington mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have been to solomon pond mall to it was closer
did they say when the sets would be out! (city etc..)
Do you have to click on the "Buy" icons on Brickset? Or can I just add things to the cart at the LEGO store and then quote the code?
no but it helps brickset stay up!
The free shipping can't be combined with clearance items, coupons, Brickmaster coupons, codes, etc. One or the other. When I applied the FSA99 code, a set that was 50% off went to the regular price! This promotion and the Brickmaster coupons are a joke! Don't sign up for Brickmaster thinking the coupons will come in handy whenever you want to use them. I wanted to use them and they would have cost me the 50% discount on a 100 dollar set. Save 5 bucks or 50? Easy choice to make but I was disappointed to see the coupon rendered worthless.
Disregard my last post! Make sure to call LEGO Shop At Home regarding the free shipping, Brickmaster Coupon and Web Deals. I called them and was given all 3 discounts! As usual, LEGO's customer service sets them apart from any other toy company out there! The people who work at Shop at Home are top notch.
I tried entering several codes and the sale prices online were not reflected in my cart. I called LEGO and mentioned that I was unhappy that I couldn't take advantage of the sales and the rep helped me out and took care of me. She gave me the clearance prices on the Hobby and Holiday Trains, the Brickmaster 5 dollars off coupon and the free shipping! I should have never doubted LEGO and called them before my 1st post today. Their customer care is the best! Perhaps you can call LEGO and ask them to help you out.

Producer David E. Kelley will beam up William Shatner to join the cast of his James Spader spinoff of ''The Practice,'' according to the Hollywood Reporter. Shatner appeared last week on ''The Practice'' (which ends this May) as Danny Crane, a senior partner in a new, bigger law firm that Alan Shore (Spader) will eventually join. In the current storyline, Shore has hired Crane's firm for a wrongful termination suit against ''The Practice'''s main law firm, Young, Frutt & Berluti.
Also likely to star in the as-yet-untitled spin-off are Fay Masterson and Lake Bell, who will appear in the last episodes of ''The Practice'' as a fiercely competent lawyer and a green law school grad, respectively. Sadly, there aren't roles for Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan -- at least not yet.

Choose Your Path, Face Your Judgement
A look at alignments in The Sacred Pool, an upcoming Talisman expansion |
Talisman | Published 07 October 2010 |
The endless struggle between the spirits of light and the forces of darkness is escalating. Mighty heroes are called to choose their alignment and fight to prove themselves worthy, for Judgement Day approaches... and war between the heavens and the abyss is about to begin.
The Sacred Pool, the latest expansion for Talisman, will be on store shelves soon! So far, we've looked at the sinister Magus and the glorious Chivalric Knight. Today, let's look deeper into the motivations of these (and indeed all) Talisman heroes, as we peer into their very souls for a discussion of character alignment.
For players, alignment is Talisman is a concept that while deep in its thematic implications, can be easily overlooked mechanically. Many players seldom even think about their character's alignment until they land on the Chapel, draw Mephistopheles, or encounter some similar obstacle. With The Sacred Pool, alignment comes to the forefront of your quest for the Crown of Command. Players can switch alignments, influence opponents' motivations, and even affect the outcome of the entire game, all with the abundance of new alignment-centered choices coming in this exciting expansion!
In addition to offering new Neutral Alignment cards for neutral characters, The Sacred Pool presents plenty of reasons to consider your alignment carefully, and possibly even to readjust your moral compass when the opportunity arises. The Ivory Sentinel, along with his evil counterpart the Ebony Sentinel (both below), effectively creates a roadblock for any character not matching its preferred alignment.
Similarly, the Vindicator is friend to no one, but those with Evil in their hearts should take special care, since his strength adjusts based on your alignment! But these obstacles, formidable though they may be, are hardly the only reason to carefully consider your character's alignment in your quest for the Crown of Command. Powerful artifacts like the Baleful Eye, Staff of Balance, and Holy Relic are featured in The Sacred Pool, and only the worthy may wield them.
Several new Strangers also make their debut in The Sacred Pool, and three in particular brilliantly demonstrate the focus on interplay between alignments. The Ritual Master, Renegade, and Redeemer (below) each provide a potential benefit to characters of their alignment... at the cost of those of the other alignments!
But what if you are lured toward a different moral path? The Sacred Pool presents several ways to change the alignment of heroes... sometimes against their will. The Madcap, an unpredictable stranger, delights in bringing chaos into the world. Meanwhile, the Pantheon allows visiting heroes to choose a new alignment, while Temporary Change and The Whispers (a Quest Reward Card) both let you inflict a change of alignment upon yourself or an opponent! This can be a clever way to force another player to drop a helpful alignment-dependent artifact, or to play a nasty trick when he lands on a space such as the Chapel.
Finally, let's take a look at an Alternate Ending card that brings the significance of character alignment to new heights... it can directly affect whether you claim the ultimate prize!
Judgement Day requires that all players "vote" on how to modify a very important die roll. Will you deduct from the roller's score? This may kill him, or you may merely incur his wrath when he then controls the Crown of Command. Will you add to his roll? You may inadvertently make him the lone winner, or you might share the win with him. Whatever happens, the negotiation is sure to be heated as players struggle to manipulate this all-important roll, or even their own alignments, in the tense final moments of the game!
Keep checking back for more on The Sacred Pool. In the meantime, follow your own sense of morality... at least until a better offer comes along.
Talisman is a classic board game of adventuring through the lands in search of the powerful Crown of Command. Take control of one of 14 different characters from a powerful Troll to a magical Druid, and enter a beloved world of fantasy adventure!
Wow, the art of Judgement is day is stunning! Who is the artist? He/she deserves the public acknowledgment!

Date 2012-04-23 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis investigates how the different aspects and claims associated with moral relativism can be applied to the issue of corporate governance convergence. The question of how corporate governance models may be converging around the world is considered within the law, finance and management literature. To date, however, there has been no detailed consideration from a moral perspective of whether such convergence should occur. This study investigates this question, using South Africa as a case study, through an analysis of the claims of Descriptive, Metaethical and Normative moral relativism. South Africa is selected as a useful case study in the light of its colonial heritage, complex demographics and the ongoing project of post-apartheid 'nation-building'.Different moral philosophies can be identified that underlie the predominant models of corporate governance around the world. The differences between these moralities can be expressed in terms of differences in the prescribed moral obligations and objectives of corporations. The claim of Descriptive moral relativism is that there are significant differences in moral judgement between groups or individuals. In the context of South African corporate governance, the principal area of interest concerns moral judgements that reflect corporate obligations and objectives that differ from those that underlie the shareholder model evident in Anglo-American jurisdictions. This was investigated in three ways: firstly, through a literature study that identified existing evidence of moral judgements relevant to corporate governance in South Africa; secondly, through a quantitative survey of a group of professional accounting students in South Africa; thirdly, through a series of semi-structured interviews with professional accounting students in South Africa. In all three cases there was some, albeit limited, evidence to support the claim of Descriptive moral relativism.
The claim of Metaethical moral relativism is that there is no single 'true' or 'correct' morality, but that morality is relative to different groups or individuals. Applied to corporate governance, this claim was investigated firstly by examining the arguments that a particular corporate governance model is morally superior and thus universally applicable, as well as by considering the extent of moral agreement on the issue. Secondly, the positions of prominent supporters of moral relativism were considered in terms of how these could be applied to the issue of corporate governance convergence. It was concluded that universalist claims in support of particular models of corporate governance are largely insufficient, and that a limited relativist approach is more plausible.
The claim of Normative moral relativism is that one should not interfere with the actions of another where these are based on different moral judgements. Although the claims of Descriptive and Metaethical moral relativism have implications for the normative claim, the normative claim does not necessarily follow. Adopting a value of tolerance or accommodation (from the work of David Wong) can, however, strengthen the normative argument. It was concluded then that based on the evidence of this study, and within its limitations, it is morally wrong to impose an Anglo-American model of corporate governance on South Africa.

I actually got this in a quad, and I love the colour for a highlight when i'm wearing a strong look, or for the base of a neutral eye.
I have this shade from a holiday palette from a few years ago and it's a good highlight shade, but it's too light to use as a lid shade for my NC35 skin. It's a frosty light yellow gold color that has pretty sheer pigmentation. Although it's sheer, it's still pretty smooth and creamy, just not as much as other shadows, like the previous reviewer said. It's only an alright shade for me since I don't really use highlight shades that often.

Well, I think my search is over for the perfect shimmery YLBB shadow. Filigree is a beautiful iced gold color with a good amount of shimmer, but it's not over the top frosty unless you apply it very heavily. It's a perfect wash for neutral to warm PPPs like myself, and it really brings out the gold specks in my green eyes. I could see it being a nice brow bone highlighter for those with medium skin tones. My only gripe is that the formula is not as smooth as Becca, Korres, or Sue Devitt shadows, but the color is perfect. It's also a bit on the sheer side, but that's a plus in my situation as I was looking for a sheer, YLBB shade to use on those minimal make-up days.

In a major policy change, the White House announced yesterday that it will not interfere with states laws allowing for recreational marijuana use. That is, as long as those states do a good job regulating pot sales.

'Toe Walking' After Cast Removal... So Sad to Watch!
OKAY, I KNOW the doctor said it can take anywhere from 2-6 WEEKS for my 21 month old son to walk properly again after his leg cast came off, but this is so pitiful and makes me so sad watching my son try to walk.
I know that it's only been 2 days, but he's still acting like the cast is on there... like he doesn't pull his heel down, won't bend his knee, still swings his leg wide to the side to walk, and I KNOW that he needs to build that muscle back... it's just so sad!
I've been laying him on his back and doing 'the bicycle kick' thing with him, trying to remind him that he can bend his ankle and knee and hip... he thinks it's funny... and I put shoes on him (should I not do that?) which he was SO excited about, but because he won't put his heel down, the shoe falls off, and he gets upset.
So what should I be doing and NOT doing to help him? He's reeeeally babying that leg/foot... I try to remind myself that it took 4 weeks to learn to compensate for the cast, so it will probably take 4 weeks to correct it... but in the meantime, it pains me to watch my little dude walking all gimpy :(
Anyone else had a situation like this? What did you do? I've broken a lot of bones, and never walked crazy weird when the cast came off... maybe limped a bit the first few days because of the muscle degeneration, but then I was fine.
He also goes back in 6 weeks so the doctor can see how he's walking.
Again, I KNOW it's a little early to worry, but I can deal with blood, brains, guts, and puke better than broken bones!! I can't help but think 'what if he walks like this forever?!' :(
So What Happened?™
@Grandma T, the pool is a great idea!
@Cheryl, got it, you're so right... I don't even think I realize I'm doing it 1/2 the time, he always wants to be on my hip anyway... LOL
@Megan, you're spot on, I think it's his tendon too, and I've been doing those exercises with him (NO the doc didn't tell me too, but I think he was a little flustered because Roman was screaming his fool head off!)

Give it time and don't do anything out of ordinary than you usually do.
He'll be walking just fine well before Trick or Treat.
Does he have a tricycle or big wheels?
The peddling is good exercise.
So is climbing around a play ground or kicking a ball around.
He might not be ready for a bounce house yet.
All you need to do is keep an eye on him and try to STOP WORRYING so much.
Kids bounce back fast from stuff like this.
Before you know it he'll be running so fast you'll have a hard time catching him.

Any way you can get him into a swimming pool? that would be some great PT for him. He'll get used to it Rach, I'm sure it's a bit tender and stiff he'll be back to normal before you know it.
I know it doesnt feel like it to you, but it seems like he just got that cast such a short time ago and now it's already off. I remember feeling so bad for you when he first got it, figuring it would seem like an eternity. If you dont have a pool, I'd let him take long playful baths in a deeper than normal bathtub, it will really help loosen up his tight hamstring, and definitely keep doing the bicycle exercise on him.

When I had my cast off my leg - I was 21 - and it took ME at least 5 days to "walk" normal again...
DO NOT pick him up and carry him - get him to walk there...continue the physical therapy - bicycle exercises, stretches, etc. when he walks on his tippy toes, stop him and help him "walk"....
You are over thinking this and scared....don't worry about the "what if" - he is VERY VERY young so it probably VERY hard for him as he hasn't been walking for years...only months...so his brain is going to work it out...just do NOT pick him up and carry him...got it?
let him chase River..
Let him chase you...or Rob or Emmy & Maddy....encourage running and such...

Take a breath mama :) he'll readjust sooner rather than later. I broke my ankle in january and even after the cast and boot came off it took a while and lots of physical therapy to get me back into a some what normal walking gait. And I'm still not 100% there.
Definitely keep putting shoes on him, but make sure they are properly fitting tennis shoes or something supportive. I wouldn't recommend sandles or clogs or crocs or anything like that for now. The tennis shoes won't fall off AND they'll give him proper support till he adjusts back to walking normal.

He will be fine, just keep doing what you are doing and dont focus on what he is doing. If you brign attention to it he will continue to do it. When my DD cast came off her arm, it was about 2 weeks till she started using it normally. First it was sore and the muscles had shrunk a bit. After about 3 weeks when she wasn't paying attention she was using it just fine, then if we said something she would revert to babying it.
It is sad :-( you want your baby 100% again,but the more you focus on it, the more he will too.
Hang in there your doing great.

'One of the good guys' faces charges in clash with cops
By Erin Guerra Post-Tribune correspondent May 30, 2014 9:44PM
Donald Buikema
Updated: July 1, 2014 6:53AM
A Portage man faces a long list of charges after allegedy nearly forcing a Porter County Sheriff's Department officer off the road early Thursday.
Donald Buikema, 36, was shot three times with a stun gun before finally being subdued at Porter Regional Hospital.
Officer William Marshall reported he was westbound on U.S. 6, near County Road 250, when an eastbound, blue 2008 Dodge Caliber crossed the center line, making him drive on the shoulder to avoid a collision. Marshall conducted a traffic stop and the Dodge's driver, Buikema, reportedly told police he had been drinking at The Draft House in Lake Station and was on his way to his mother's home in Kouts.
He repeatedly asked, "You can just follow me home, can't you?" He agreed to sobriety tests, saying, "I'll do whatever you want, I'm one of the good guys. You guys are my friends," according to the police report.
Once he failed tests on the scene and was taken to Porter Regional Hospital for a blood draw, however, Buikema rescinded his consent and reportedly became loud and verbally abusive.
After a warrant was obtained and a hospital employee prepared to take a blood sample, Buikema allegedly fought Marshall and a hospital security officer. The three ended up on the floor, with Buikema kicking both officers until he was shot three times with a stun gun. Another officer arrived to help move him to a four-point-restraint bed.
During the struggle, Buikema threatened to find both officers at a later time and "murder you when these cuffs come off," according to the police report. The threats allegedly continued as Buikema was transported to the Porter County Jail.
Buikema was charged with a number of felonies and misdemeanors. Although the arrest report and jail booking sheet included discrepancies on the preliminary charges, both listed two counts of felony intimidation, two counts of misdemeanor battery, drunken driving and disorderly conduct.

I am fighting a losing battle against a squirell. Darn but he is a smart little thing. He is destroying my apartment deck....the only place I have for out-door gardening. Someone said something about using old cd s or mirrors because they don't like to see themselves. Can I make these into a sort of whirly-gig? Any one have any ideas?

Follow-Up Postings:
I heard that if you hang them from a string on a shrub or tree, that they will scare away birds and such because of the motion and reflections off the cd. It apparently makes them think there's another critter there and they supposedly get scared and go elsewhere. I'm thinking of trying it myself since there's a couple of persistent squirrels in my yard as well...digging holes all over! So let's try it and check back later... |

I want to be your representative in City Hall, and I ask you for your vote on October 8.
I grew up in New Bedford, spending my earliest years living in the Nathan and Polly Johnson House on Seventh Street, where my dad had his medical office on the ground floor.
I enjoyed the wonderful diversity of the city, attending schools with children of dozens of different backgrounds and ethnicities. I also appreciated the value of our legacy of parks and library system, and spent much of my leisure time in the downtown library as well as in Buttonwood Park.
When I retired from the newspaper business 10 years ago I had my choice of living anywhere I wanted. I chose to move back to the West End. My wife Catherine and I purchased a modest house on Rockdale Avenue, just a short distance from Buttonwood Park, and a pleasant walk to the Lawler Branch in one direction, and Clark's Cove in the other. In the six years I have served on the City's Conservation Commission, currently as its Vice-Chairman, I have come to appreciate more and more the treasures of our city and its greatest natural resource its people. I believe in giving back and "paying forward," and hope to be of even greater service to you and our neighborhoods as a member of the City Council.
In the next few months I will speak with as many of my Ward 5 neighbors as possible and have a free exchange of ideas on how we can best address your concerns and improve the quality of life for all of us. There's a convenient contact form here.
You can call me at 508-292-5632, or email me. You can also find my campaign on Facebook at Facebook/RadcliffeForWard5 or Share This on Twitter.

Greco E et al. – Effective first–trimester screening for spontaneous early preterm delivery can be provided by a combination of maternal characteristics and cervical length.
Methods- This was a screening study for spontaneous preterm delivery in singleton pregnancies from cervical length measured by transvaginal ultrasound at 11–13 weeks' gestation.
- The performance of screening for preterm delivery by cervical length alone and with maternal characteristics was estimated.
- In the 9,974 pregnancies included in the study, spontaneous delivery before 34 weeks occurred in 104 (1.0%) cases.
- Multivariate regression analysis in the term delivery group demonstrated that for the log10 cervical length, significant independent contributions were provided by fetal crown–rump length, maternal height, age, racial origin and parity.
- The median cervical length multiple of the median (MoM), corrected for maternal characteristics, was significantly lower in the preterm (0.892 MoM, 95% CI 0.829–0.945) than in the term delivery group (0.994 MoM, 95% CI 0.919–1.082; p < 0.0001).
- In screening by a combination of maternal characteristics and cervical length, the estimated detection rate of preterm delivery was 54.8% (95% CI 44.7–64.6), at a false–positive rate of 10%.

Vidal Sassoon and His Muses: The Iconic Cuts
Known for his sleek, mod cuts that spawned a hair revolution in the 1960s, scissor wizard Vidal Sassoon helped women bid adieu to sleeping on curlers, wasting time under hood dryers, and running through can after can of Aquanet. Sassoon modernized the locks of the chicest and most beautiful women in the fashion and Hollywood realms; from creating Mia Farrow's avant-garde pixie cut to bringing modern coiffure to the likes of Grace Coddington, Mary Quant, and Carol Channing, the "Messiah of Hair" popularized low-maintenance and cutting-edge styles. Vidal Sassoon: The Movie, out February 10 in limited release, tells the story of Sassoon's life, beginning with the career-launching apprenticeship he first landed at 14. We look back at the architectural shapes that Sassoon created—and the women who inspired them. (For a peek at the documentary's trailer, check it out at SunHee's Beauty Blog.)

Interview: Craig Robinson Talks 'This Is The End,' Kissing Rihanna And 'Peeples' Criticisms
VIBE: This movie is outrageously funny and well-done from start to finish. Can you talk about how it was to work with, essentially, your friends while filming This Is The End? How did the project come together?
Craig Robinson: Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] originally had this short that really took off called Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse. That was all the way back in 2006-2007, and they took that concept and wrote this movie around that baseline. I think it was in 2010, 2011. Once they finished with the script and the premise, they hit us all up and were like, "Y'all wanna do this movie, y'know and play ourselves?" It was really just dope like that. Working with these guys is just like what you said, we're friends ... family, and it's like chillin' in the basement with your buddies playing with your mom's video camera. Seth and Evan say, "Action," and we roll and see if we can get something good on film.
You guys have all worked on different projects separate of one another, but this is the first one I've seen where "death" was an issue. Can you speak about how you and the gang handled the death scenes during filming?
Oh!!! It was funny [laughs]. Everybody wanted to die in this film. They wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, y'know? Some people wanted crazy deaths, others were like whatever. But at the end of the day it was all fun. I wasn't there for all of the request that were made, but the way it could start is that somebody wanted to go out bad ass. Then it turns into somebody falling down the hall and down some stairs into an open crevice that leads to hell. Just bad ass! I think somebody got hit in the face with a rock and died on impact [laughs]. The goal is to make it as funny as you can for the audience to laugh with you at such a traumatic thing.
If you could have any type of death scene for This Is The End that would be used for DVD extras—how would you have gone out?
I would have been exploded. Like, "kaboom," y'know?! Guts and body parts flying all over the place.
Like, "Oh, my God! It's Craig's face on my face!" [laughs]
Exactly! [laughs]
There are quite a few dick-and-fart jokes in this movie, too, man. There are some scenes that will go over well with fans of that type of humor. Were there any dick jokes that you guys just improvised that didn't make the film?
Oh, yeah [laughs]! The DVD extras should be packed with a lot of funny stuff, I'm sure. We did a whole scene of stuff that didn't make the final cut of the film. We even did a re-imagining of Spider-Man that James Franco starred in that didn't make it into This Is The End. That didn't make the final cut, but I wouldn't be surprised if it made the DVD.
Was it called Spider-Dick...?
[Laughs] No, it was just us being crude, really. [Danny] McBride played your favorite neighborhood Spider-Man, [James] Franco was the Green Goblin, and it was funny... They were play fighting and Franco was on a skateboard with Seth behind him, guiding him. They even put me in a wig and dressed me up as Mary Jane. It was just something they thought of on the spot. The scene was supposed to be a drug sequence, so when I showed up to set they said to me, "Craig, put this on!" And I was like, "What, what?!"

Breakfast Topic: Getting a certain achievement down {WoW}
May 18th 2011 9:51AM I remember when the Achievement system first came out in late BC. My whole guild was talking about it on vent, and specifically that one. We were going over different ways to try it, but none of them worked. Raid time came, and we put it aside. We were fighting Solarian in The Eye, and she did her AOE explosion that sent a large number of us up into the air. On landing, we all got the achievement and had a good laugh about it on vent.

Silly comment system!!
The Queue: Hey it's Thursday, and that's awesome {WoW}
May 5th 2011 12:12PM I know your right. It was just a thought that crossed my mind the other day as everyone kept reffering to the 25-man raid that took out OBL and they way it was so similar to a WoW raid. Obviously Blizz would never put out content about this, but again, it was just my mind wondering.
As for the Uldum quest, I personally loved it. It was awesome to see them do so much with the Harrison Jones theme. I'll admit the Shnottz questline was a bit odd when you start dealing with him directly, but since it ties in with the Indiana Jones story, it works nicely.
The Queue: Hey it's Thursday, and that's awesome {WoW}
May 5th 2011 11:54AM So I had a crazy thought the other day, after hearing about the raid that killed Bin Laden. (yes, I know your probably tired of all the media coverage as well)
How funny would it be to implement raids/dungeons based off of recent events? Or at least model them somewhat like them.
It appears the US sent in 25 SEALS to take him out.
They had to get through about 5 other people to get to Bin Laden.
They gathered all of his loot after for future use.
So ya, it sounds absolutely ridiculous, and I know Blizz would never do it, but how awesome would a raid/heroic based off of something similar be?
Breakfast Topic: Have you ever taken time off from WoW? {WoW}
Apr 27th 2011 10:03AM I've been playing for more or less 3/4 years now, and I've taken 2 major breaks since then.
First was for school reasons, and I quit for about 6 months right after WOTLK, before we started Ulduar. I got back into it, and started raiding hardcore all the way to ICC.
Halfway through ICC, I was my guild's top DK, raiding 4-5 nights a week, and started to get burned out. I was determined to see ICC through to the end, but I was sitting in Dalaran one day, and realized how absolutely childish both trade chat and my guild were. So I started playing less and less, and eventually stopped playing for a full year.
I got back into it last month after playing Dragon Age 2, and seeing alot of the similarities in the stories, and it drove me back to WoW, but in a much more casual setting.
Patch 4.1: Combat log addons cause framerate issues {WoW}
Apr 26th 2011 5:35PM Seems Mik's Scrolling Battle Text, Bagnon, and QuestHelper are causing problems as well, along with Recount as mentioned above.
Breakfast Topic: How consistently do you run your dailies? {WoW}
Apr 20th 2011 4:12PM In WOTLK I faithfully did dailies each and every day, but then again, I was playing a lot more hardcore then I am now.
Now I'm at 85 on my DK and gearing up through heroics, but also leveling a worgen rouge for PvP, and eventually my 82 hunter will reach 85 as well.
With less playtime, lack of a guild to farm rep for, and 2 other toons to play with, I normally just login, farm some artifacts while I wait for a DPS spot in a heroic, then go level my other toons.
The Queue: American Old Gods {WoW}
Apr 15th 2011 12:07PM I worked at CompUSA for about a year as a tech, and we had tons of people (mostly kids though) come in for the same exact reason. (Most of the Tech/Sales staff play WoW as well.) Calling you homo just seems a bit extrme, although I can picture a sales guy being all apologetic for fear of loosing his commision on the sale.
The Queue: American Old Gods {WoW}
Apr 15th 2011 12:03PM I've played on a PvP server since day 1. Obviously I've had my share of being ganked for no reason. Yes, it sucks. Yes, it waste time. Yes, it gets annoying. But I really do think it adds a whole new dimension to the game. Keeps you on your toes, and forces you to keep on alert when out questing.

0The Gores Group to acquire Davis + Henderson business processing units
The businesses, operating in five locations across Canada, include Credit Card Services, Contact Centre Services, Benefits & Administration, and Coupon & Rebate Services, acquired as part of its $200 million acquisition of Resolve Business Outsourcing Income Fun in 2009, and Real Estate Services, acquired as part of its $212.5 million acquisition of Filogix in 2006.
The businesses largely serve customers comprising retailers, real estate boards, and packaged goods companies. The businesses generate around $60 million of revenue, D+H said it does not expect the divestiture to have a material impact on its operating profits.
Davis + Henderson and The Gores Group have entered into a transition services agreement for a smooth transition for customers. Management, staff and facilities related to these businesses are transitioning as part of the agreement.
"Since owning these businesses we have developed them into solid businesses that have strengthened the value to customers. We want to thank the approximately 1,400 employees working in these businesses for their dedication and what they were able to accomplish for customers," said Gerrard Schmid, CEO of D+H.
The transaction is expected to close in mid-April, 2013.
Origin Merchant Partners acted as the financial advisor to D+H for this transaction.

Hi all.
I guess the water here is harder than I thought, I am misting my plants daily and they have water spots on them. I read that 1:1 water/vinager will do it, cotton balls then wipe dry. And no. I havent tried it yet. Would Leaf Shine help? (or what ever it is called) It's my Hindu Rope Hoya that I am most concerned about doing this to. Would hate to hurt it. Maybe Q-tips would work. (inside the leaf only, for this plant) I was just wondering if anyone else has this prob and what do you do for it? Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
An acid (like vinegar) will dissolve the deposits. I would use straight vinegar since it has never harmed any of my plants, and will still require several applications to remove heavy deposits. Diluting the vinegar will just make the process that much longer. It would be best to wait until the plant is dry before doing this so that you can thoroughly water it afterwards in order to flush away any excess vinegar that may be on the foliage and soil. Also, I would stop misting the plants. Misting only momentarily increases humidity, and the water left on the foliage can cause fungal growth and the hard water deposits you are seeing. -Chris |

My grandma used to shine her leaves with diluted milk. I only ever see these spots on new plants. Something they put on them seems to make them spotty. These plants are usually also waxy and dull. Rubbing them while they're wet, then rinsing them off can help. After a few times in the rain they look better. I don't know about using vinegar. There's all kind of hullaballo about using it to kill weeds. We need a scientist. |
Straight vinegar is a pretty good herbicide, too, so watch it! Personally, I'd like to see you use a wet, soft cloth...perhaps with a diluted vinegar solution. Place one hand behind each leaf to cushion and support it, then gently rub the surface tip clean. Leaf shine products can sometimes be sticky, attracting dirt and dust. Plus, you still have to get the spots off. I strongly agree with the recommendation that you stop with the daily misting. It rarely offers any true benefits and can sometimes cause problems. As I recall from your other posts, you are a bit of an 'over-nuturer'...stopping might not be easy for you, lol! |
I should clarify that straight vinegar applied to the leaves of my plants has never harmed them. If applied to the soil, that's another matter. I rub the leaves with a paper towel soaked in vinegar. They will look clean as soon as they are wet, but once dry, any remaining deposits will show themselves again. Keep reapplying vinegar and wiping until the leaves remain clean when dry. You can rinse with water when done, and you should flush the pot thoroughly if any vinegar (diluted or not) has gotten in the soil. -Chris |

The only benefit to misting plants is that it may wash away some dust and deter spider mites somewhat. Misting does not increase hunidity as is popularly believed. Hard water contains lots of mineral salts and that is what causes the spotting. So if you mist, use filtered or distilled water. There is no reason to mist a Hoya, which thrives in a low humidity environment, anyway. Clean up your plants as described above and then stop misting. That will solve your problem permanently. |
thanks all. Hummm not mist my plants-- I won't have a reason to wake up!! lol. Oh wait, I have a DOG!!LOL! But ok, I will stop the misting, I mainly like the way they look wet, clean and fresh-- :) Til they dry and I see spots on them. Can't win for losing. and I do kinda over-nuture them I guess. I am trying to give them some space-- and yes, it is hard. lol But thanks again |

Not sure if this is appropriate for Hoyas, but rainwater naturally has a slightly acidic pH - I put my large-leaved plants (F. elastica, Dracaenas, Monstera) outside in the rain this time of year, when it's above 50* and raining, to wash the dust off & I don't notice spotting. I put the small-leaved ones out there too ;) GB |

Marjie - Other than the leaf spots from hard water, there is no harm in misting. My primary point was that misting has no real benefit horticulturally. But if it gives you a reason to get up in the morning, then by all means do it! YOu could alos try misting with filtered or distilled water. ~Will |

LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Police on Monday traced a Pakistani family in Uttarakhand's Roorkee district. It had arrived in India in 1998 and was underground thereafter.
According to additional director general (Intelligence) OP Singh, a drive is currently underway in the state to trace those who had come to Uttar Pradesh from Pakistan and thereafter gone missing. During the course of gathering criminal intelligence, the Firozabad unit of the local intelligence unit received a tip-off about the present location of Ishtiyaq Khan and his wife Salika Begum, who had come to India in May 1998 on a 90-day visa.
Though the LIU Firozabad had earlier traced the family in 2001, but it went missing before the deportation proceedings could be started. On a specific tip-off, the LIU traced Salika Begum and her three children at a house in Roorkee.
During interrogation, Salika revealed that Ishtiyaq had passed away in December 2008 when the family was staying in Bijnor. Ever since, she and her three children (Fauzia, Rozy and Farooq) had been hopping from one district to another in search of a living and to evade arrest.
Salika claimed that Ishtiyaq was a native of Firozabad and his entire family and their relatives are based in the glass city till date. In 1982 he married Salika who is a native of Rajasthan. With no means to earn two square meals a day, the couple had gone to Pakistan to meet their distant relatives a couple of months after marriage, but stayed there for the next 6 years. In 1998, the entire family returned to India on a Pakistani passport and stayed back thereafter.
After the family remained untraceable till 2001, the LIU initiated deportation proceedings against the family and a manhunt was launched, which lasted 11 years and resulted in tracing the family in Roorkee on Sunday.
While police claimed that the family had taken Pakistani nationality and on the basis of that they procured their Pakistani passport, the family claimed that they had never acquired Pakistani nationality. However they failed to explain the process through which they got the Pakistani passport despite having an Indian nationality, said official sources.
Intelligence sources said that sleuths were trying to verify the claims of Salika on their whereabouts during the period the family was underground before initiating any action.tnn

Dan Flarida
Hi, my name is Dan Flarida and I collect plastic and cardboard. My path to collecting Kenner related items began in the Summer of 1990 when I picked up a carded Return of the Jedi Darth Vader figure at a local flea market. At the time it was just a nostalgic reminder of my childhood, and it was tucked away in a drawer without too much thought.
A few years later I found the carded Darth Vader figure still safely tucked away and I began searching out other Star Wars toys from my childhood. This was the early days of the Internet so the majority of my searching took place at flea markets, antique shows, and magazine ads. I stumbled across Steve Sansweet's book Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible in 1994 and the deep-seated need to collect became a permanent part of my life.
It was also around this time that I found the Star Wars Collector's Archive online and discovered there was a lot more out there than just the toys. I was immediately drawn to the pre-production items, internal employee items, store displays, and other rarities that were in the hands of fellow collectors. My focus shifted from just the Star Wars toys to prototypes, art, and other internal only items.
After collecting Star Wars items exclusively for a few years, I started realizing that a lot of the other toys I played with as a kid were also made by Kenner. I began picking up other Kenner toy lines here and there like MASK, Silverhawks, and Super Powers. This diversion into other Kenner lines quickly turned into my main collecting focus.
I currently collect anything and everything related to Kenner. My goal is to have at least one production toy and one pre-production item from every toy line Kenner made. Some of my favorite items are the prototypes, employee items, and other things that were never meant to be outside Kenner's walls.
John Wooten
Hello! My name is John Wooten and I'm a collector of vintage Star Wars toys and Kenner memorabilia. I became interested in Kenner memorabilia through my interest in vintage Star Wars prototypes. I was fortunate enough to meet some Kenner employees along the way and their passion and creativity was inspiring. As I met these folks and listened to their stories, I became not only interested in just Star Wars prototypes, but all things Kenner, from softball hats to internal awards. I have a deep regard for the way Kenner toys were developed and the folks involved in all phases of the process. I always look forward to a chance to talk to someone who worked there, because I don't think it's always obvious to them how special their creations were to millions of children over several decades.
I currently collect Kenner employee memorabilia and internal items like awards, giveaways, paperwork…pretty much anything that has to do with the process of developing, manufacturing and selling a Kenner toy. I look forward to sharing some of the things I have and for any opportunity to find something to add to my collection.
Joe Ilagan
Greetings! My name is Joe Ilagan and I am a collector of vintage Star Wars, and MASK, among other vintage and current toy lines. I am very new to vintage collecting and still learning new things everyday about Kenner. My childhood as many of yours is filled with memories of playing with toys and the joy of being able to open up that new toy the second you get home.
My collecting started back when I was in high school and my parents were cleaning and came across a box of all my old toys. They asked me if they could donate or give them away. I rummaged in the boxes and pulled out the toys that meant the most to me, Star Wars, MASK, and a few other lines. I threw them all in a box and forgot all about them until my parents were moving while I was in college and asked me that same question again. Opening that box brought a wash of nostalgia over me and the rest is history!
I am currently collecting vintage ROTJ carded figures, and MASK toys. I also recently discovered that Wonder World, Silverhawks, and Jurassic Park were all made by Kenner. My collecting goals really revolve around tracking down all the toys I remember having when I was young. I look forward to sharing my collection, my memories, and any help I can give you guys.
