What Is The Most Depressing Song on the 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Soundtrack?
Features By Kate Erbland on December 11, 2013 | Comments (2)If it seems as if we've been covering the soundtrack from the Joel and Ethan Coen's newly released Inside Llewyn Davis quite a bit around these parts as of late, that's a totally fair observation, simply because it's true. The sixties-set film about the eponymous New York City folk singer that never hit the big time is appropriately steeped in music, and all of it just so happens to be damn good. Inside Llewyn Davis is one of the best films of the year, but its soundtrack is easily the best soundtrack of the year. But if something like "Please Mr. Kennedy" is an unabashedly joyful jam (and it is) that proves that not all folk music needs to be morose and depressing (it does not), where does that leave the sadder songs of the soundtrack? Turns out, in pretty good standing, because while the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack may feature some upbeat compositions, it's still packed to the gills with the kind of stuff that might make you consider ending it all (and that's not hyperbolic – as we soon discover in the film that Llewyn's former singing partner did just that before the action of the film unfolds). So what's the saddest song on the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack? Behold – an investigation.
'Please Mr. Kennedy': Plucky Jam Proves 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Isn't All Dark and Dirty
Features By Kate Erbland on December 2, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIt's fitting that awards season comes during winter – after all, the more dramatic-skewing fare we tend to get come November and December all but blots out the sunny memories of yet another blockbuster-filled summer season – but that doesn't mean that every big gun hitting screens near you has to be (or even is) an emotional downer. While Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave may have scared off a few viewers because of repeated cries that the film was brutal and wrenching and highly upsetting, the film is also very rewarding and, we daresay, well worth the emotional upheavals that happen within it (and, conversely, the emotional upheavals that happen to its audience while watching). The Coen Brothers' latest, Inside Llewyn Davis, may fall victim to that same "it's hard!" talk, and its muted color palate, wintry setting, and focus on a struggling folk singer (Oscar Isaac) who never makes it at his chosen craft might not appeal to those with drama fatigue – but it should. Especially because, in true Coen fashion, Inside Llewyn Davis is very, very funny. Sure, most of the film's biggest chuckles come care of the crushing inevitability of life, terrible chance encounters, and drug abuse (this film really is funny, we swear), but that's what makes it relatable. It's what makes it ring true (and sing true). Yet, there's nothing as funny, catchy, and plucky in the film than a little ditty called "Please Mr. Kennedy."
Watch J.J. Abrams, Michael Giacchino and Tim Simonec Work on the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Score
Features By Christopher Campbell on May 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhether or not you're a fan of Star Trek Into Darkness, you should take a look at the latest SoundWorks Collection shorts on the music of the film. Michael Coleman visited the 20th Century Fox Newman Scoring Stage to document some of the recording of the Star Trek sequel's score. While there he interviewed Tim Simonec, the conductor and orchestror, while also getting some footage of director J.J. Abrams and composer Michael Giacchino overlooking the sessions. Also named in the video is co-producer Michelle Rejwan as the orchestra plays "Happy Birthday" in her honor (at least I think it's in her honor since the camera is turned toward her). Behind the scenes stuff like this is always neat, and here Simonec explains some of what's different about the Into Darkness score compared to the previous Star Trek movie's music. For one thing this has more synth less choir. I also just like watching all the professional musicians. It's easy to forget about all that talent while watching a movie, especially when you wind up nitpicking at the writing and directing. While Giacchino's compositions themselves may be criticized, there's absolutely no digging at the people on the strings and horns and percussion. Their performance of the score is objectively perfect, as that job always has to be. Watch the brief video after the jump.
'I Dreamed a Dream' Will Capitalize On Your Nostalgia For 2009
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 26, 2012 | Comments (1)The sort of fame that comes from appearing on reality television can be fleeting. Remember Puck, the filthy bike messenger who put his finger in Pedro's peanut butter on MTV's The Real World? No? Let's go with something more recent. How about Richard Hatch, the manipulative nudist from CBS' Survivor? Still no? Omarosa, that bitch from The Apprentice? William Hung, that Ricky Martin wannabe from American Idol? At one point these people were the darlings of popular culture, and now their names conjure up barely a glimmer of recognition. Hopefully for Fox Searchlight the name Susan Boyle is recent enough that it's still at the tips of everyone's brains though, because Deadline Hollywood is reporting that they've just signed off on a deal that gives them the rights to her life story. It turns out that, in the time since her revelatory 2009 performance on Britain's Got Talent, where she taught the world that even people who aren't 16-year-old girls with hair extensions can sing, Boyle has been spending her time doing things like cutting albums and signing deals to have a stage musical about her life story made.
Boring Tuesday Morning? Here's The Entire 'The Hobbit' Soundtrack, Free and Available Online
Movie Music By Neil Miller on November 13, 2012 | Comments (1)Just a day after Peter Jackson and his team released Neil Finn's song from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the folks at Empire have released the full soundtrack for free online. Now you can get a preview of what the December 13 release will hold. The score is from composer Howard Shore, who as you know also served as music man behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's all got a very Middle Earthian feel to it, as is appropriate for such a release. However, fans will undoubtedly find enough in Shore's new score that feels fresh and new.
You'll Be Shocked to Know That 'The Hobbit' Soundtrack Also Has a Special Edition Version
Movie Music By Kate Erbland on November 1, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt just doesn't stop, does it? Not only is one film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" not enough for movie fans (or director Peter Jackson? or his vast and very talented cast? or the country of New Zealand?), two film adaptations are also not enough, so you better believe that just one soundtrack isn't even close to good enough for a production that has now ballooned to include three films based on one novel. WaterTower Music has just announced (via Fandango) the release of the official soundtrack to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and, shock of shocks, just one disc isn't going to cut it. The Official Motion Picture Soundtrack will arrive in stores and online on December 11 as a two-disc set, with a Special Edition also available on that same day. The so-called Special Edition will include six exclusive bonus tracks, seven extended score cues, and deluxe liner notes. The soundtrack features an original score by Academy Award winner Howard Shore (who also did the score for Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy), along with a new original song by Crowded House's Neil Finn. You can check out the full track listing for both editions of the soundtrack after the break, if you're into that sort of thing.
Listen to Adele Get Moody With Her James Bond 'Skyfall' Theme
Movie Music By Neil Miller on October 4, 2012 | Comments (2)If there's one theme that emerges from the Skyfall theme from British crooner Adele — which you can listen to below — it's that the end is coming. But what is it, exactly, that's ending? Surely not the time of Daniel Craig's James Bond era. Nor the Bond franchise, both of which will go on long after the Sam Mendes 23rd film in the franchise. What it has to do with the movie, we don't yet know, but it's a fun thought exercise. Beyond that, the new theme is moody, melodic and full of grande promises about the nature of the November release.
Can 'All Is By My Side' Be a Satisfying Jimi Hendrix Biopic Without Any Jimi Hendrix Music?
Movie Music By Nathan Adams on July 5, 2012 | Comments (1)There are a lot of things that writer/director John Ridley's upcoming biopic of rock great Jimi Hendrix, All Is By My Side, has going for it. The most obvious asset being its star, André Benjamin, who has shown potential as an actor, has a ton of experience being a musician, and looks pretty much exactly like Jimi Hendrix once he's all dressed up in costume and letting his afro roam free. There's one huge stumbling block that has a lot of people questioning what the point of making this movie is at all though: the Hendrix estate didn't sign off on letting them use any of the musician's music in the film. How do you make a movie about Hendrix's music career without showing him playing any of his music? Rolling Stone has the scoop. Apparently the biggest strategy Ridley and company are employing when it comes to getting around the issue of not being able to use any of Hendrix's copyrights is that they're going to focus on an isolated part of the musician's career, the period where he was just emerging onto the scene in '66 and '67. Or, as producer Sean McKittrick puts it, "This is the story of Jimi being discovered as a backup musician and how he went to London and became Jimi Hendrix." In McKittrick's opinion, focusing on just the early part of Hendrix's career is smarter than making a movie that covers his whole life, because, "That would be like making a movie […]
Tom Cruise's Upcoming Sci-Fi Adventure 'Oblivion' Will Benefit From the Soundscapes of M83
Movie Music By Nathan Adams on June 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen director Joseph Kosinski revived Disney's sci-fi classic TRON with the belated but visually dazzling 2010 sequel TRON: Legacy, the results were a mixed bag to say the least. One thing that pretty much everyone could agree upon when it came to that film, however, is that the score by French electronic group Daft Punk was the best thing it had going for it. Eschewing a traditional film score in favor of the pulsing, electronic sounds of Daft Punk worked wonders when it came to bringing the world of TRON to life and really making it hum, and it's not hard to imagine that the film could have been far less effective without such a perfect marriage of image and sound. TRON: Legacy isn't the only film that's gone the nontraditional route when it comes to finding its music in recent years, either. From Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood scoring Paul Thomas Anderson movies, to Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor scoring David Fincher films, to The Chemical Brothers providing the music for Joe Wright's Hanna, bringing a mainstream musician in to score your film instead of hiring one of the well-established film score composers seems to have become a full-scale trend, and a trend that has so far provided us with some amazing music. Since it worked for him once, Kosinski is looking to go back to that well for his next sci-fi adventure, Oblivion. The Playlist reports that in order to find the musical accompaniment for this Tom Cruise-starring tale of […]
Explosions In the Sky Will Score Their Austin Buddy David Gordon Green's 'Prince Avalanche'
Movie Music By Nathan Adams on June 21, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWe learned not too long ago that David Gordon Green has made a movie that's so low budget and has so much indie cred, nobody even heard about it until it was already finished shooting. It's called Prince Avalanche, it stars Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch as a couple of road workers painting the lines on isolated and little used roads, and it's a remake of a 2011 Icelandic film called Either Way. Since most everyone is in agreement that the David Gordon Green who makes small, experimental films is the best David Gordon Green there is, said news was generally accepted as being good news. But things get even better. Now there's word that this new film will be bringing back memories of Green's earlier, indie-r work even more so than we may have imagined. Consequence of Sound is reporting that Austin, Texas band Explosions in the Sky have agreed to make some time to score the film once their current tour wraps up in August. The guys from Explosions in the Sky and Green have all known each other for quite a while, as he's already used a bunch of their music in his earlier works All the Real Girls and Snow Angels.
The Sound of 'Prometheus': In Space, No One Can Hear Your Soda Cans, Pop Rocks, and 35-Year-Old Amazon Parrot
Movie Music By Kevin Carr on June 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEven though the release of Prometheus has been a polarizing one for movie fans, the overall consensus is that it is a brilliantly made movie from a technical perspective. Even the haters and mediocre reviews point out the striking visuals and classy use of 3D. What often gets lost in this discussion is the sound design and mix, which is as important to making a film as any visual elements. The good folks at Soundworks Collection have released a brief-yet-detailed look into the sound of Prometheus, presented by Dolby. Included in the video are Supervising Sound Editors Mark Stoeckinger and Victor Ennis, Sound Re-recording Mixers Ron Bartlett and Doug Hemphill, Sound Designers Ann Scibelli and Alan Rankin, and Sound Effects Researcher Charlie Campagna. Fans of sound design will enjoy hearing about the creative and often low-tech elements that inspired the high-tech sound mix. The sound team talks about how they preserved the sound from Ridley Scott's original Alien and found inspiration in everyday items like soda, pop rocks, and a blue-fronted Amazon parrot to create the sound landscape heard in the film. Check out the video after the break.
Park Chan-wook and Clint Mansell Will Make Beautiful Music Together for 'Stoker'
Movie Music By Nathan Adams on June 4, 2012 | Comments (2)Park Chan-wook is a talented filmmaker who's never afraid to get experimental and crazy with his work, so film fans have been looking forward to his first English language movie for quite a while. The director's breakthrough into the world of Hollywood will finally come in the form of a film called Stoker, which stars Mia Wasikowska as a teenage girl who's forced to reconnect with a strange and probably dangerous uncle after the untimely death of her father. Just hearing that Park has gotten the chance to direct names like Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, and Jacki Weaver is enough to make Stoker a heavily anticipated release already, but today some new news broke that makes the movie look like even more of a surefire delight. According to Film Music Reporter, composer Clint Mansell has scored the film, and is currently recording its music at Air Studios in London. Mansell has been doing film work for a while, but he's probably best known as being a longtime collaborator of Darren Aronofsky's. Their work together has created some of the greatest scores of the last decade or so, with the soundtracks for Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain probably being the high points. Mansell was also responsible for the mellow tones that made up the score for Duncan Jones' debut film Moon, a track list that surely shows up on a lot of movie score nuts' top-ten of the 2000s lists. He is also a particular favorite of our own Allison […]
For Sure, Like Totally! MGM and Paramount Pick Commercial Director to Helm 'Valley Girl' Remake
In Development By Kate Erbland on February 17, 2012 | Comments (4)We're going to get this out of the way and, like, totally quickly – I love Valley Girl. Unironically. I think it's hilarious and weirdly romantic and that Nicolas Cage has never, ever looked better (and sexier). And also? The music is phenomenal (Cage's Randy is really into the underground punk scene). And all that embarrassing praise and all those bizarre personal revelations aside, what made Valley Girl work is that it chronicled a specific lifestyle during the actual period in which it existed – that is, the "for sure, totally, tripendicular" slice of life California life during the 80s. A remake? Well, I worry that a remake is just going to poke fun at the time period, not look back on it with any sort of endearing nostalgia. MGM has been working to get a remake going for awhile now, and apparently Paramount is getting in on the action. According to Deadline Agoura Hills, the studios have now reportedly even picked a director for the film, which will be a musical version that will see its leads singing "New Wave tunes from bands like The Go Go's and The Cars." Clay Weiner will start his feature directing career with the film, apparently triumphing over "a number of well-established helmers who wanted the job."
'Drive' Soundtrack Will Transport You; Track Listing and Release Date Revealed
Movie Music By Kate Erbland on August 1, 2011 | Comments (1)There are a number of elements to Nicolas Winding Refn's upcoming release, Drive, that are surprising. But beyond the shocking violence (if you've got a weak tummy, consider investing in a blindfold, or at least polish up your eye-covering reflexes before hitting the theater) and the nifty double-crossings and Ryan Gosling being a mind-blowing badass, there is nothing more surprising than the film's soundtrack. Upon first listen, it's incongruous. In fact, the soundtrack may make you feel as if you've finally lost total touch with reality and regressed all the way back to the eighties. Don't worry about it, you're not having an acid flashback or a stroke, the soundtrack really is that unexpected. The soundtrack will also make you want to become a tough as nails hitman and drive like you're being chased by a pack of pissed off mobsters. It's probably best to listen to it far, far away from the wheel of a car. Who am I kidding? Get this soundtrack, then get in your Pinto or Fiesta or whatever, and drive like hell. If you haven't gone through puberty yet (and, if so, why are you driving?), this soundtrack paired with American muscle will change that faster than you can put pedal to metal and break whatever flimsy speed limit is posted nearby. I'm not telling you to break the law. This soundtrack is telling you to break the law. Check it out after the break:
Alex Pettyfer Continues Hyping Himself for 'The Hunger Games'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 7, 2011 | Comments (43)The Internet can get kind of obsessive when it comes to its young adult action/adventure novels. The Hunger Games is the latest severely popular book series about young people facing grave peril while forming tumultuous love triangles that is in pre-production for a film adaptation, and speculation about the casting has been running wild. To this point, most of the talk has been about who would play the lead character Katniss Everdeen. We've reported that Hailee Steinfeld is one of the front-runners for the role. In addition to Steinfeld, the most oft mentioned young actresses that keep getting drug through the rumor mill seem to be Chloe Moretz and, most recently, Jennifer Lawrence. While debate over who is likely and who would be best rages over the Katniss casting, some talk about the male lead has started up as well. The Playlist talked with Alex Pettyfer, and he confirmed that he is being courted to possibly join the Gary Ross directed film. While he has been sent a script, Pettyfer says that he has yet to read it. You might recognize Pettyfer, as he's a ridiculously dreamy young guy, he's had two big films released in the last couple weeks, and he is probably poised to be young Hollywood's next it boy. His two recent releases were the super-heroic I Am Number Four and the super-pathetic Beastly. That's one marketed toward the boys and one toward the girls. All he probably needs is one high profile role to really break […]

The first time I met Ben, we had a long breakfast at the Polo Lounge. I wanted to see if he was someone I thought might capture the essence of original Superman actor George Reeves as I imagined him. My first impression was that where George seemed stolid, somewhat reserved, and measured, with a dignified, almost stilted bearing, Ben was energetic and utterly uncensored. I overlooked these apparent differences because of one thing: Ben's ravenous intelligence.

Does anyone else's dog make strange noises while asleep? Our lab sometimes emits a long, scary noise somewhere between a howl and a moan in the middle of the night. It's quite spooky! I'm quite sure he is asleep although I don't see him doing it. What IS that?? |

My dog makes little noises in her sleep. I believe she is dreaming. She lets out these little cute yapping sounds. I wish I could see what she was thinking. She sounds like shes chasing something exciting. |

I used to have a Great Dane that made that howl/moan sound sometimes when asleep. It sounded so human, like: "OHHHHHHHHHHHH" |
Not only do they make noises, they chase rabbits, and dream big time!!! |
We have a hound mix who does howl in his sleep. It is a weird sound, like a muffled howl. |
One of my bassetts howl in her sleep.Its a very loud,long drawn out howl.I always wanted my hounds to howl and finally one of them does.The other bassett she just whines alot. |
They dream. Mine gets nightmares sometimes and I reach down to his bed and pet him. Once in a while he wags his tail vigorously in his sleep - so funny. |
Gina, that's hilarious! My dog doesn't wag his tail, but he does the twitching, whimpering dream thing. I'm glad other dogs howl and moan in their sleep, it must be normal. thanks! |

Purchased a 7 month old female chow chow and put the crate in our bedroom for 2 nights only. Her snoring was like a 90 yr old man with bad adenoids. Now the crate is in another bedroom and I can hear her snoring from the other end of the house.Quite comical. Besides she is gorgeous. |

My twin-passions in life have always been nature and art. When I was young, the natural world was my escape and drawing was a tool that I often used to express my feelings when words were so hard to come by.
Throughout the years, these same threads have continued to weave their way in and out of my life. However, in 2001, during a trip to Australia, I picked up my camera for the first time with serious intention, and this changed my path forever. A near-perfect synthesis of nature and art occurred in my mind, and the way forward become much more clear. If a person can truly have a 'calling,' I had found mine.
Clay Bolt is a Natural History and Conservation Photographer specializing in macro and close-up photography of Southern Appalachian biodiversity, with an emphasis on invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians. His images and projects have been featured by organizations and publications such as National Geographic, The Nature Conservancy, Scientific American, Outdoor Photographer, Audubon Magazine, BBC Wildlife and many others. He is an Associate Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP).
In 2009, Clay co-founded the international nature photography project "Meet Your Neighbours" which has grown to include dozens of photographers representing over 40 locations around the world. The mission at MYN is to reconnect people with the wildlife that lives within their own communities. In 2012, in partnership with The Highlands Biological Foundation, he co-founded Backyard Naturalists, whose mission is to inspire an appreciation of the natural world in children through science, art and technology.
Clay is passionate about spreading the message that a connection to nature begins at home and is always seeking out new ways to promote this concept through his photography, writing, presentations and community involvement. For the past decade Clay has regularly partnered with organizations to develop imagery that can be used to support conservation. Arguably the proudest moment of Clay's career to date came in 2008 when his images were successfully used by The Nature Conservancy to illustrate their campaign to protect The Nine Times Tract in the mountains of South Carolina, which has been called one of the most botanically rich sites in the southeastern, United States. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the North American Nature Photography Association.

The walker slows me down. Im not afraid of losing my rank of being the slowest kid in Stark County, given to me by one of my elementary teachers. Of course, I carried that over to adult life by finishing 161st out of 161 entrants in the Joe Vogel vs. Cancer one mile walk/run. Hey, someone has to be last.
Ive been keeping up on my cooking; my disability isnt movement related in the kitchen. Ive even done some grocery shopping. I tried to clear everything out of the refrigerator before I left for the operating room and was pretty successful with the exception of a slice of tomato with pepper in a small glass dish, which looked and smelled like something from another planet when I found it rotting away behind something else. All in all, my sympathy for those who need some kind of device like a walker for their mobility has quadrupled.
During my hospitial/nursing home stay I was often asked to rate my pain level on a scale of one to ten. This was hard for me because I never quite understood what I should compare my pain with. Over the past 80 some years, I have done some mighty painful things to my body including closing a car door on my head in a moment of confused panic. Nothing they could do in that operating room could compare with that; so if thats a 10, what I feel now isnt even on the scale. But if I compare it to sitting in my recliner watching polar bears chase otters, its a five. The medical people didnt understand my pain rating system either, so we were even.
I tried making one of my special egg based meals for breakfast last week. It didnt turn out too well. Because of my slowness, things didnt come together as planned. The toast was cold and the eggs were overdone, which is hard to do in my preparation. So on Sunday, I opted for Raisin Bran.
As you can imagine through all of this, I really miss my wife. She was very good at taking care of me and no matter what I do, I cant match her. I hope she feels sorry for me now. Sometimes when I injured myself doing dumb stuff, she didnt show a lot of sympathy at first, but she always came through when I needed her. By the way, she wasnt around when I closed the car door on my head.
Widows and widowers make sure your furnace is operating safely; weve got some cold weather in the near future.
Thanks to all those who said nice things about me when I was gone.

"My son always asks me to make these. I normally just make them for camping trips now. I fill them with ham and cheese with mustard or pepperoni, mozzarella and a bit of pizza sauce.They are awesome to take on hikes or have a quick lunch on a float. I will be doing some with breakfast fillings this year as well like hashbrowns, eggs and cheese. ..."
"These are so tasty! We use salami or ham deli meats and top off with a garlic stuffed green olive! Fabulous for camp out appetizers and football season! Goes great with beer and several wines as well!"
"I had wanted to make a side dish for a teacher potluck at my son's school and picked this recipe. I guinea pigged myself and fiance the night before though and while at first he wasn't totally in love with it, and I was, the next day he was asking if there was still some left. One thing that I did make sure to do when I made it for the potluck w..."
"I made this for my man for his birthday last year and it was a huge hit. I had forgotten all about it when I decided this will be the perfect thing to bring to our church picnic. I will also be making one for the Mr. as he does not share well ;)
This is one super great recipe!!!"
"The whole family loved this one! Great flavor, great texture, fast and easy to make! We love to eat fish and this is a great alternative to frying. I did cut back of the excessive use of butter and it was still wonderful!"
"I adore this recipe! I wanted beer battered chicken and I was liking what I was reading about this recipe and how well it holds up and sticks to your food. Spot on! It took a few trial and errors though as to concerning using chicken strips, I found I had to cook slower and lower because the batter fried up so much faster. I did have an issue s..."
"I made these up and stored them in plasticware for a recent camping trip breakfast addition. Everyone loved them! They were hard to stop eating and this was even being served at room temperature.

"I dont know why I have such a love/hate relationship with yeast doughs. I seem to really want to try to master them but I usually fail. This time I did A-OK with not killing the yeast and rising ability/patience in the dough. I had to add A LOT more flour, like at least a cup more, my dough was just ridiculously sticky and gooey. I don't know i..."
"I made these up for a recent camping trip and they went over well. Everyone liked the flavor and I was impressed with the density and depth of flavor even though I was lacking in the cloves. I ended up making 24 muffins with this one batch and still had enough batter left over that could have easily made at LEAST 6 more. The only thing I will do..."
"The kids and boyfriend really REALLY liked this one! Keeper recipe for sure! I also had about 5 oz of velveeta sitting in the fridge I needed to use up so I melted that in there the last 5 minutes of cooking. Made it creamier and more cheesy flavored.

Maryland Lawyer Sentenced to Ten Years for Attempting to Entice a Minor to Engage in Sexual Activity
Orlando, Florida - U.S. Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces today that U.S. District Judge Anne C. Conway sentenced Howard Scott Kalin (48, Essex, Maryland) to 10 years in federal prison for attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity. As part of his sentence, the court also ordered Kalin to serve a 20-year term of supervised release after he completes his prison sentence. Kalin pled guilty on September 14, 2011.
According to court documents, on January 12, 2011, a detective with the Lake County Sheriff's Office posted an ad in the Orlando Craigslist portal personals. The headline of the post read "bored nephew." Kalin responded to the ad, at which time the undercover detective told Kalin that his nephew was 14 years old. Kalin responded, requesting a picture of the minor. The undercover detective sent a picture of a boy appearing to be between the ages of 12 to13, which was actually an age-regressed image of a male adult police officer. After commenting that the child was "cute," Kalin sent the undercover detective a picture of himself wearing a tank top. Kalin wrote that he was at a hotel at Disney and asked the undercover detective if he wanted to meet with him. Kalin continued to exchange e-mails with the undercover detective, trying to induce him to bring the 14-year-old to Disney, to engage in sexual activity with him. The undercover detective replied that the child was not available to meet at that time. Kalin, a balloon entertainer and lawyer who lived in Essex, Maryland, was in Orlando, attending the Florida SuperJam balloon fest.
After returning to Maryland, Kalin continued to communicate with the undercover detective through May 23, 2011. During his communications over the internet and by cell phone, Kalin repeatedly affirmed his intent to return to Florida to engage in sexual activity with the 14-year-old boy. Eventually, Kalin arranged to meet with the boy in Orlando on May 23, 2011. He also stated that he wanted to buy the boy a present and suggested a basketball. Kalin flew from Baltimore to Orlando. On May 23, 2011, he called the undercover detective and said that he would meet him and the minor at a restaurant in Clermont, Florida. Kalin then went to WalMart and bought a basketball and some lubricant.
Later that day, Kalin arrived at the restaurant and got out of his car, carrying the WalMart bag with the basketball. The undercover detective met Kalin outside of the restaurant and placed him under arrest. Agents located Kalin's luggage, a box of condoms, lubricant, a camera, and two thumb drives in Kalin's rental car. Kalin admitted to law enforcement officers that he traveled to Florida from Maryland to engage in sexual activity with the boy.
This case was investigated by the Lake County Sheriff''s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Karen L. Gable.
It is another case brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

And this is after Piers fired an AR15
This is a discussion on Ted Nugent vs. Piers....again within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; And this is after Piers fired an AR15...
And this is after Piers fired an AR15
Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
Notice how when he was asked if it was fun he kept diverting the conversation and wouldn't answer the question? What bugs me the most about that fool is how hard he is pushing for gun control and arguing the second amendment but he isn't even an American citizen. He ought to go to austrailia where guns are gone. He'd love it there sleeping the dingos
I'll give Ted props on that one - he didn't morph into his cartoonish Yosemite Sam alter ego, and stayed on script with key points.
Although I'm not sure it's even worth giving that idiot an interview, as Pierce is clearly cashing in on the ratings by exploiting this issue.
'Clinging to my guns and religion
Uncle Ted handled this very well. I didn't help the clowns ratings either, as I recorded it, and watched it the next day.
" But if you are authorized to carry a weapon, and you walk outside without it, just take a deep breath, and say this to yourself... Baa." Col. Dave Grossman on Sheep and Sheepdogs.
Obligatory to say........... 'Piers who'?
Socialism Kills! Time proven, with a very large body count! We are a Constitutional Republic....... not a Democracy, get it correct!

I caught a few minutes of his interview with Ted live, and see no need to apologize for tuning in. His ratings are so low that afew thousand from this forum won't affect much. More importantly, I think we need to see his argument and diffuse it. Ted did just that.
Morgan's talking points are just so worn.
1: why do you need an AR,AK?
2:How many bullets can it fire?
3: Why does anybody need a semi-automatic
4: Who needs a 30 round "clip"?
They are all easily diffused by those of us here, but average Joe needs to hear the argument and be persuaded by reason.
I believe Ted did that the other night.
It's so tiring to see new threads of things that were posted two days ago, ALL THE TIME.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
I love this guy! Go Ted!

Love the comparison between the U.S. and Yemen. Good one Piers. Maybe if one out every three or four males between the ages of 18 and 35 in this country were terrorists, he may have a point. What an idiot! As if we didn't already know.

I saw this when it aired. Ted did great. Didn't veer off message at all. Of course, nothing will change Pier's mind. He has chosen this as his crusade, either because he truly believes it, or it's part of his crusade to keep his "career" alive.
Does Piers Morgan have a show? I have never seen it. Should tell you about the validity of his "show"
As Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin? He replied: A republic, if you can keep it.

Created and Compiled by Dr Nancy Heisey
The following are materials created by Nancy Heisey, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Church History at EMU, for a School for Leadership Training workshop of the above title. You will find an introduction to the topic, a brief bibliography and two worksheets she handed out at the workshop. To download this material as Word document click here.
Introduction I Bibliography I 10 Statements of Fact I 6 Suggestions
In the past 60 years, several important manuscript discoveries have had a great impact on our understanding biblical texts and the early years of the Christian movement. First, what is called the Nag Hammadi library is a collection of 12 codices (ancient book-like documents, including 52 different shorter writings). This "library" was discovered in 1945 by Egyptian peasants. The manuscripts date from the fourth and fifth centuries (300s and 400s A.D.) and are in the Coptic language. They have been translated into English and extensively studied by scholars of ancient Christianity. They tend to reflect perspectives that are generally known as "gnostic." In this world view, knowledge (gnosis) is the way for a few to be freed from the evils of the material world and to reach the world of the mind or the spirit. Such perspectives were shared among some Christians, Jews, and pagans of that time.
Scholarly debates have raged over what period of the Christian movement these documents originally represent. Some have claimed that they come from a period as early as the gospels of the New Testament canon. The recently discovered (published by National Geographic in 2006) Gospel of Judas seems to belong to a similar category of literature as the Nag Hammadi documents.
The Dead Sea Scrolls consist of papyrus and parchment scrolls, and thousands of fragments, found (beginning in 1947) in 11 caves around the upper west side of the Dead Sea. The scrolls of Cave 1 were published and translated quickly. However, a great deal of controversy swirled around the discoveries of Cave 4. Conflicts broke out among the scholars working on the scrolls, between them and other scholars who did not have access to them, and with the Israeli government. This led to long delays in publication and translation of many of the fragments. In the process, rumors circulated: the texts revealed that the Qumran community was a group of early Christians; the Vatican (several of the scholars were Catholic priests) was trying to hide information that would damage the church, and so on. But by the late 1990s, several English translations were finally available. The scrolls show the early importance of the biblical texts of the Hebrew Bible—parts of all the books in the Protestant canon except Esther and Nehemiah were found. They also reveal the importance of different ancient textual traditions of Scripture—some following the Masoretic text on which our Old Testament translations are done, some closer to the Septuagint version—and some that reflect no tradition that we know. And they give a picture of a Jewish community that existed during Jesus' own lifetime that had some similarities to Jesus and his message (but not a community of Jesus believers).
The book and movie "The Da Vinci Code" build on the curiosity and suspicion that has surrounded the work on these ancient manuscripts. Both claim that in texts from Nag Hammadi we find truths about Jesus and Mary Magdalene that were suppressed in the canonical gospels. They further claim that the Emperor Constantine enforced this suppression, and ruled—against all earlier opinion—that Jesus was God, through decisions made at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. In fact, however, the Nicene Council did not decide that Jesus was God. Rather, the bishops there debated how to describe the relationship between Jesus as the "Logos" (as used in John 1:1) related to God the Father. Further, no decisions were made about the "Gospel of Philip" or the "Gospel of Mary Magdalene" at Nicaea. In contemporaneous writings of the church historian Eusebius of Caesarea, we learn that Christians in the fourth century did have some debates over New Testament scriptures, but those debates had to do with the books of Revelation, Jude, 2 Peter, and 2 and 3 John. The primary issue of concern according to Eusebius was whether those books had legitimate claims to being by one of the first apostles.
The attached list of books includes the texts of the Nag Hammadi library, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Gospel of Judas. It also provides suggestions of contemporary authors who offer useful perspectives on those ancient documents. See also the bibliographies in those works.

1. The Bible has a history, and so does the church. The Bible did not drop out of the sky, and there was no "golden age" of the church. Each generation of believers has had to struggle with the meaning of faithfulness and with how to tell the story of God's work in the world.
2. The Bible of the first churches was the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus-believing Jews differed with other Jews over how to interpret these Scriptures. The Christian interpretation became the New Testament; the Jewish interpretation became the Talmud. This process was accompanied by a slow splitting of the Gentile Christian community away from the Jewish roots of their movement.
3. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls pushed knowledge about the manuscript tradition of the Hebrew Scriptures back from the 10 th century A.D. to the second or first century B.C. They showed that at the time of Jesus, some manuscript traditions were well fixed, such as Isaiah, and some had several important differences, such as Jeremiah.
4. The New Testament documents come from the first century. Although our earliest NT manuscripts come at the earliest from the second century, there is little debate that the NT documents reflect realities of Jesus' own century.
5. Early Christian writers used genres already familiar to readers, such as prophecy, history, apocalypse, and letter. They also developed a new form, the "gospel." While this genre term is also applied to second century writings about Jesus and the apostles, the NT gospels are different because they include a continuous narrative of Jesus' life and teachings, death and resurrection. Their view of what Jesus came for is also different: to proclaim the Reign of God, rather than to show an elite few special knowledge about how to escape this world.
6. Christians continued to write about their faith and their questions, including a wide diversity of documents from the second century. These writings included theological discourses, philosophical speculation, stories and reflections about biblical characters, devotional instruction and martyr accounts. These writings have much to teach us about what mattered to Christians of those generations. Some scholars suggest that they are based on earlier, first-century, sources, but there is little evidence to support this claim.
7. The first Jesus believers were humans just like us, but their worldview was very different from ours. They did not distinguish material from spiritual, and they expected the physical return of Jesus Christ in the very near future, if not in their lifetime.
8. The biggest debate of the first century church was about whether/how to admit Gentile Jesus believers into the community.
9. Second-century Christians settled in for the long haul, since Jesus had not returned. Important debates considered whether and how to accommodate to the demands of the Roman authorities, how to describe who Jesus Christ was in terms that would communicate to their pagan neighbors, and whether the fundamental nature of the world they lived in was good or evil.
10. God was at work in the shaping of the Christian church, and its story, throughout this entire time.
1. Be curious, but not gullible. Expect that you may learn something that will add depth to your understanding of the biblical/early church story.
2. Avoid extreme positions, such as: "This movie/book/interpretation/discovery is demonic," or "This movie/book/interpretation/discovery is a threat to the heart of our church/faith."
3. Get informed. Avoid radio/TV preacher analysis and tabloid Christian journalism. Look for trustworthy articles in Sojourners, Christianity Today, Christian Century, and for books from publishers such as Fortress, Eerdmans, InterVarsity, and Paulist. The Believers Church Bible Commentary (Herald Press) volumes are also helpful.
4. Learn about biblical scholars who are frequently quoted in the media (go ahead—Google them!). Do they belong to faith communities? How open are they about their own faith (or lack of faith) convictions? Just because they are not believers does not mean you cannot learn from them. Recognize that some scholars "lost their faith" because they grew up in rigid and anti-intellectual church settings, and later faced historical reality about the Bible and the history of the early church.
5. Create spaces for discussion. Invite congregation members and your neighborhood to explore the significance of newsworthy stories about the Bible and the church. Who knows, such discussions may be an important opportunity for sharing the good news!
6. Bank on the trustworthiness of the testimony of Scripture about who Jesus was/is. Trust in and teach the centrality of his life and teachings, death and resurrection, to empower people for truly human and godly ways of living

Geoffrey Portway was sentenced to 26 years in prison Tuesday. His crime? Planning to abduct, rape, torture, kill and eat a child as part of a bizarre fetish fantasy. Police tracked him through his screen name "Fat Longpig."
Before it came out that puppeteer Ronald Brown was allegedly involved in all sorts of child porn rings and planned to kill and eat a young child, he appeared on the Christian children's show Joy Junction along with his puppet Marty. In this clip from the show, Marty confesses to Ron that some friends showed him "dirty pictures."
Homeland Security raided the home of puppeteer Ronald Brown, who works extensively with children, after discovering an online discussion he had with another man about abducting, killing and eating children as young as 2. The other man, who may have already killed one child, is also in custody.

I've begun taking cuttings from my tubers for the coming season and so far I've always followed the advice I've read on several helpful web pages. On these pages they show cuttings that are sliced off very cleanly with no roots and this is how I've done all my cuttings in the past. But today i started working with one tuber that had a larger sprout than is usually recommended.. In this case the whole tuber was well below soil level so I dumped it out so that I could cut close to the tuber. After removing the potting soil from around the eye at the base of the sprout I could see that the sprout was just beginning to send out roots from the sprout stem itself. So I carefully cut the sprout away from the tuber and was able to take these just forming roots with the cutting. So that got me thinking that maybe it would be better to bury the mother tubers deeper and let the sprouts grow a little larger than is usually recommended so as to be able to cut away a sprout that already has roots. Has anyone else tried anything like this before? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The obvious problem with this technique is that you cannot see the sprout under the soil and therefore you do not know when to cut it off. And many sprouts do not make roots because the bottom of the tuber makes roots. Having said these comments, the cutting will fill the new pot with root in record time. |

>> The obvious problem with this technique is that you >> cannot see the sprout under the soil and therefore you >> do not know when to cut it off. That is true but by using a light weight soil-less mix (or maybe just vermiculite) for the top 3/4 inch that covers the eye it is easy to brush away to check for roots. The bottom of the pot can contain regular potting soil to feed the tuber through the fibrous root system that emerges from the bottom of the tuber. It may also be possible to determine when to check for roots by the number of days after the sprout emerges or maybe by the size of the sprout. i will experiment further with this idea and report my findings. |
I just took several cuttings from tubers buried under the potting mix. None of them had roots. I have seen them but they are rare. |

I have been taking more cuttings lately but i too have found that not many of them send out roots while they have an easy source of nutrients from the tuber. The few that I have been able to separate with roots really take off quick though. Two pots I checked today had roots coming off the sprout but I looked very close and couldn't see any signs of secondary eyes so I left the tuber connected and I will leave those to grow on in pots for later transplant. |
- Posted by steve22802 7a VA (My Page) on Mon, Apr 1, 13 at 12:34
Here's a picture of a dahlia sprout with a nice root that could be separated from the tuber along with the sprout, but I couldn't see any secondary eyes so I just repotted it. (The tuber has fibrous roots out too.) |
I would have taken the cutting about 1/16 of an inch above where it attaches to the tuber. It will send up more shoots from that area, I have taken many, many thousands of cuttings and this is a pretty typical situation. |
- Posted by steve22802 7a VA (My Page) on Tue, Apr 2, 13 at 17:41
I couldn't see any signs of other eyes. Do you think they are just very dormant? On other tubers that have large sprouts like this I can easily see multiple secondary eyes that are waiting to replace the primary sprout but I couldn't see anything like that on this one. Do you think more eyes will appear if I cut this primary sprout? Maybe I'll take this one back out of it's pot and cut the sprout off just to see if this wakes up eyes that I can't see. |
I have a cutting question for you guys. I'm going to try taking cuttings of my dahlia sprouts for the first time, but am a little scared. My other garden cuttings have not gone well, most started rotting, some just died. I am scared to try it with the dahlias because they are so precious to me. What rooting mediums do you guys use and what techniques work for you? The first couple of batches were done in soilless mixes or soilless with perlite. My last batch with just perlite and this one seems to have less rot but some have just died. Thanks! |

I apply a light coating of rooting hormone powder then plant the cutting in the damp 100% vermiculite. I place the potted cuttings inside a white plastic bag for humidity (spritzed occasionally with a spray bottle.) I try to hold the temperature held around 75F degrees. They get around 12.5 hours of daylight and then another 2 or 3 hours of artificial light in order to give them 14 hours of light. After 8-10 days I start pulling on them to check for roots. As soon as they have about 3/4 inch roots out like in the photo below I pot them along into 1 gallon pots of potting soil and they stay there until time to transplant into the garden. I started my first round of 15 cuttings on March 19. The first cutting rooted in 8 days and there are still 4 remaining from that batch that have not yet rooted (after 20 days) but have not rotted either. Interestingly 3 of these 4 are the same variety so perhaps it's just slower to root than other varieties. |

"Do you think more eyes will appear if I cut this primary sprout?" Typically two to three new eyes will appear after cutting the primary solitary sprout. Depending on the variety, sometimes the first cutting has a larger diameter then successive sprouts/cuttings, and takes much longer to root. |
If you used a magnifying lense to look a a dahlia "eye" you would see one larger "eye" in the middle and two more very small "eyes" on either side. When the central sprout is cut the other "eyes" sprout. And each of those smaller "eyes" are also actually three "eyes" and they can sprout too. Each successive sprout is smaller in diameter and eventually the tuber "runs out of gas" and the last sprouts are very skinny and fragile. Smaller sprouts root just fine but take a bit longer to grow into full sized plants. Some tubers only send up a few viable sprouts and others can send up 10 or more. If you are taking cuttings from a small clumps called a pot tuber, it is possible to get 30 or more cuttings as the clumps has several "eye sets". |

Grace, the type of soilless mix doesn't seem to make much difference. There are growers that are all across the board with straight or different proportions of peat, perlite, vermiculite, sand, and oasis foam, and all work great. Also, there are a great number of experience growers on both sides of the fence with rooting hormone, with more and more saying that it does not help one bit. (Teddahlia would be one of them) I've never used it with my cuttings, and have great results. The temperature is the other point of contention. More and more growers are saying that 70 degrees is perfect for rooting cuttings, and more or less actually inhibits the process. Finally, the one thing all growers seem to agree with is humidity. It is essential to lock in moisture for at least ten days to avoid the cutting from wilting, and after rooting, should be weaned off the humidity gradually. It's possible that you have damp off disease, which could be stopped reduced by bleaching your containers before use, not using outside soil, and using some kind of anti-mold/fungus solution. That might be the soft stuff like camomile tea and cinnamon, or the hard stuff like Captan. Google damp off disease for lots of ideas to prevent it. Personally, I use 6oz yogurt containers with holes for my cuttings, preferring to not loose space with gallons. My cuttings get bushy but not tall, and have a nice root ball I shake out at planting time. It's a touch small, growth being inhibited, but I can fit more under the lights and have more insurance that I won't loose varieties. I use half peat moss, third vermiculite and a sixth perlite, with a pinch of lime, and wet it with hot water with a drop of non-antibacterial dish soap as a wetting agent. Hope this helps. |

Oops, sorry for butting in, Ted. We cross-posted. |
No rooting hormones and no fungicide in our process. We soak the pots and flats in a bleach solution to ensure that here are no fungus spores. Rooting medium can be germination mix sold in bags(we use this) Oasis cubes, Rock Mineral cubes, Perlite, vermiculite, sterilized sand, and even one person uses his own garden soil that that has been sterilized by putting a pot of it on his very hot wood stove for a long time. Humidity can be maintained by the use of plastic bags(our method), plastic domes, regular misting(commercial greenhouses do this). The plastic bag has the advantage that you do not have to check them or water them for the rooting period of about 12 days. |
Thank you all for your great feedback!! So helpful! My containers have all been clean, the used ones dipped in bleach. I think my problem might have been temperature. I have now gotten a thermostat for my mat and placed my cuttings on it set to approximately 72 degrees. CCvacationand teddahlia, do you both use artificial light and for how long? Steve2282 mentioned about 15.5 hours for his. Some of my tubers have up to 8 active eyes! So if they actually sprout I want to take cuttings. |

I love researching, and am constantly rereading articles and picking people's brains about their experiences. The top article I'd recommend is listed below. It goes into how long to light, and I've found it very useful. I light for 15hours based on the rationale outlined in that article. You had not mentioned if you have a light setup yet. Assuming you haven't as of yet, there are four options that come to mind: I'm sure there are other viable options, but 1-3 are the most common. The #4 is probably the best, but can get very expensive, and these setups are often found on...mmmm.... Well, google it and you'll see. I use three sets of shop lights, and should probably go to four sets. Hope this helps, as solutions vary greatly for the individual. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Grow lights
I read the article and disagree. Florescent lights should be left on 24 hours per day. My theory is that the more light the better. In Alaska, the 24 hour light is famous for larger plants. Also, in my unheated space they provide enough heat to get the area up to the 70 degrees or so needed for rooting. I am just rooting the plants. That process takes about 12 days. When rooted they go into a greenhouse with only sunlight. So the short time that they are forming roots, in my opinion, has no effect on tuber formation later on. All evidence quoted is very weak anecdotal information. Tubers from plants grown from rooted cuttings are constricted from growing in a pot and are more difficult to divide. And to quote Phil Mingus, "Two or three tubers from a plant grown from a cutting is a lot better than none if you do not take cuttings." |

Ahh, to have a greenhouse... I should get one some day, but im afraid of frying all my plants in one day of unmonitored heat. (A new gardening lady recently baked all her sprouting seeds that way, and was desolate for days.) So after 24 hour lighting for 12 days, you put cuttings on a schedule of around 12-14 hours natural sunlight in the greenhouse. Well, I suspect you're right in general with continual lighting might speed things up a bit. Honestly, it just doesn't seem to matter too much as long as the plants get enough to green up, unless you need the heat from the light or you're trying to hurry things up.. Was it you who mentioned how the Dutch make cuttings in complete dark, to make long sprouts from clumps? I cant remember all of it, but didnt they root them in dark, too? Fascinating display of how versatile this species is, and how many ways there are to accomplish the same thing. |
but didnt they root them in dark, too? No, I believe they root them in a greenhouse. Greenhouses: They can be the best thing that ever happened to you but you must be prepared for the fact that the sun is your friend and your enemy. A greenhouse can heat up to unbearable, plant killing temperatures in just a couple of hours of intense sun. |

Going back to my original posting, I've continued taking cuttings over the past several weeks and despite covering the eyes on many mother tubers it has been rare to find a sprout which could be separated along with an adventitious root already growing. I've found a few more sprouts like this and these cuttings do take off much more quickly (as one might expect) than the rootless cuttings but unfortunately I haven't found them with any regularity. |
I have found a few in my tubers this year. One had a root longer than the sprout. It hardly fit in my small pot that I use to root them. If you cut the sprout about 1/16 of an inch above the body of the tuber you will have several primordial inter nodes in that area. Since there are so many, the roots form really quickly and in profusion. If you cut it off above that area and get just one inter node, they root slower. Leaf cuttings are made higher up on the plant and an inter node is cut off the plant and split into two. The leaves are generally shortened by about 50% and the inter node material placed just under the surface of the rooting material. Roots will form from that very small, split inter node. And unlike "tuber" cuttings the leaves of the new plant will appear from the same inter node and the old leaves will die. The very small plant takes about 2 -3 weeks longer to get to planting size. The advantage is that you can take numerous cuttings at one time from a plant about 12 inches tall. My wife took 22 cuttings from a plant about 14 inches tall and got 18 of them to root. That is better than usual and one can count on about 6 or so. This method is really advantageous when you only have a plant as some nurseries only sell rooted cuttings. Last year, I took 6 or so cuttings off a plant of a new variety and only got 3 to root. I did have three plants in the garden and saved the other as a pot root. I am using the tubers this year for the cutting material. And all of this is done with no chemicals; no rooting compounds! |
