I will try just about any food twice. The first taste of a new dish is always a surprise. It's the second taste when you fall in love.
I basically love eating and don't have a very picky palate. I am not above enjoying a giant platter of fried goodies at Captain D's, but I love to enjoy a delicacy every now and then, too.
My favorite foods: pizza, beer, sushi, margaritas, chips and salsa, salmon, anything with pumpkin (especially desserts), candy of any kind (I love the candy you can buy in China town and sour patch kids), panettone, French onion soup, sandwiches made with French bread and butter, French bread smeared with butter and dipped in sugar, Jelly Belly jelly beans, hamburgers, grilled sausages, onions of any variety cooked or raw, bbq fritos, moon pies, peanut butter and honey on toast, licorice, baked Brie, my mom's chicken piccata, black and white cookies, chicken or tuna salad, oatmeal, Smoothie King smoothies, broccoli (just steamed: it tastes good for you and delicious), cherry jam, Lucayan Salads at Nashville's Calypso Cafe, any salad with lots of shrapnel (nuts, fruits, cheeses, etc.), hot Krispy Kreme donuts, olives, roasted red peppers, and vodka tonics. I could go on and on...

DruidKing Currently I have residency in both NY and in kentucky. Everyone knows NY is much more restrictive. I am looking to purchase a rifle to keep at my home in Kentucky, but I only have a NY drivers license.
Would a lease or an electric bill be considered acceptable proof of residency?
I spend a bit more time in NY so I would rather just keep my NY drivers license. What other proof of residency is considered acceptable for purchasing a rifle?
No, the documents that would serve as "alternate documentation" proving residency must be government issued.
Read these:
Instructions in the Form 4473:
Garycw You have to have ky drivers license to purchase handguns. Although I believe I was told once that a state I'd would work too. For that you would need the utility bills to get.
Not true. ANY "government issued photo ID" is acceptable. A buyer with multiple states of residence doesn't need a photo ID from each state, only the alternate documentation if the government issued photo ID does not show the current state of residence.
Utility bills would only be acceptable as alternate documentation if they were from a government entity.
Need a FFL in north Dallas/Plano/Allen/Frisco/McKinney ? Just EMAIL me.
$20 transfers ($10 for CHL, active military,police,fire or schoolteachers)

Replace your doors with some that are solid wood or metal. These doors hold. Few people can kick down such a door. It's relatively inexpensive to get new exterior doors for your home. Inquire about various contract lengths which your security company might offer. There are usually pros and cons in each contract. Longer contracts may offer more affordable monthly payments; however, it may be hard to cancel that contract should you decide to change services or sell your house. A shorter contract gives you more freedom, but it may cost you more per month. Make it blatantly apparent that your home has an alarm system installed. A yard sign or window decal, as well as sound alarms, can be effective at preventing someone from breaking in. If they realize this after entering the house, they still might steal.
Check someone's references carefully before letting them come into your home. It wouldn't hurt to also perform a background check. You never really know if you can trust a service person, and giving access to the wrong one can prove disastrous. Don't have spring latch locks installed. They give intruders and easy time breaking in, since they can be unlocked with a credit card. Intruders can just wedge the credit card in between the latch and the door, causing it to open. If your doors sport spring latch locks, add deadbolts to beef up security. Do not purchase spring latch locks. Just one credit card can get a burglar access to your home. A card can be placed between the latch and the door, and this will open it. Put in a deadbolt for more security if your doors already contain spring latch locks.
Criminals can be unpredictable, so it's difficult to tell whether your residence may be a burglar's target. Don't just cross your fingers and hope. Take a proactive stance on home security. Remember what you have learned, and do some research on your own so as to protect your family. See if your local police department offers any home inspection or other protection programs. Many police departments will offer expert advice, arrange inspections, sponsor neighborhood watches, and help you mark and register your valuables. If your police department does not offer these programs, find a private security company.

text: STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE Burdwan, 4 March The Burdwan University has become a premier institution in the state, being set to float distance B Ed courses. In the first year, 500 applicants would be accommodated, senior officials said today. The Burdwan University, considering the difficulty faced by the aspirants for long, had started planning to offer distance courses for B Ed, which according to Dr Smritikumar Sarkar, Vice-Chancellor, has finally been approved by the UGC. "We shall start the courses from 2014-15 academic session," Dr Sarkar said. Admission for the course would begin in July. To cater to the needs of the students, the Burdwan University, is set to float Study Centres in different locations in North Bengal and South Bengal. In South Bengal two centres, in Bankura and Bolpur, will be set up. "Another centre is being planned for the Sundarban areas," Dr Sarkar said. The Burdwan University authorities have set up a panel of experts to prepare study materials for the purpose. Besides, Burdwan University is gearing up to float Post-Graduate courses on Drama, Painting and Music individually.

In the men's tent we discussed such topics as the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in Saudi and Yemeni riyals, the Gulf War, and the price of brides and Land Cruisers in England and the United States. Osabi and Sa'id taught Martin and me a complex game, similar to marbles and croquet, played with pellets of dried camel dung. But within minutes the two were embroiled in an argument over suspected cheating. "Not unlike croquet at home," said Martin as the game ended in a spectacular shouting match. A little boy sold us a handful of 2,000- to 5,000-year-old arrowheads that he had collected from the desert, and then it was time to go.
We had been looking forward to camping in the giant dunes, but Sa'id told us we were going to a wedding instead. As we gazed on the expanse of desert, it seemed an unlikely possibility. But just before nightfall we arrived at a large tented encampment illuminated by bonfires and surrounded by dozens of Toyotas without license plates. In the women's tent DelRae handed out perfume samples from Chanel and in return was squeezed and fondled and kissed repeatedly on the crown of her head by a gathering of some 200 Bedouin women. Throughout the night they brought her food and danced and sang for her. At dawn the next day she was still wide-eyed and flushed with excitement.
After a late breakfast we motored over the dunes, heading north and then east until we came upon traces of the masabam— a series of mosques, shaded resting places, milestones, and drinking wells that had been constructed in the 10th century by the great benefactor Husain ibn Salama of Wadi Hadhramaut to guide pilgrims on their way to Mecca. We followed the wells and by early afternoon we could see the jols, the 1,000-foot-high sandstone cliffs that mark the western entrance to Wadi Hadhramaut.
As we drove, Martin read passages from Ronald Lewcock's Wadi Hadramawt and the Walled City of Shibam. Herodotus, writing in the fifth century b.c., had noted: "The trees bearing the frankincense are guarded by winged serpents of small size and various colors." The Greek geographer Strabo confirmed that these serpents were "a span in length [nine inches], red in color and could leap as high as a man's groin to inflict their fatal bite." This last comment kept us on our toes, but the only serpent we encountered on the journey had been flattened into the gravel roadbed by a previous vehicle.
At noon we reached the first paved road in Wadi Hadhramaut. At a roadside restaurant Martin treated us to traditional Hadhrami cuisine: sheep intestines wrapped with strips of fat, and tripe that had been smoked in a pit. The eight-inch-long bundles looked like greasy surgical gloves with the fingertips cut off and bound with rubber bands, but these morsels turned out to be very tasty when taken with spoonfuls of rich pilaf cooked with onions and ghee, scented with cardamom and cloves.
Entering Wadi Hadhramaut, I was eagerly anticipating the timeless architecture of a forgotten world. But the first otherworldly sight we encountered was a dump truck full of veiled women, all in black, wearing tall witches' caps made of straw. I was told that the hats were for keeping their heads cool, and for storing cucumbers and tomatoes during the day.
Several miles up the road, beehive-shaped limestone kilns belched columns of black smoke from their chimneys while men used clubs to beat the resulting lumps of pure white gypsum to a paste. They spent 12 hours a day making noorah, a lime plaster that is used to waterproof mud-brick buildings. The workers, burned black by the sun, wore sandals made of cut-up inner tubes. One young man spoke excellent English as he wielded a club in the gypsum pit; he told us that he'd like to become a schoolteacher.
We arrived at the gates of shibam at dusk as a deep orange sunset lit the valley walls. The narrow, twisted lanes of the city were filled with the peaty smell of dung smoke, sheep urine, dust, and kerosene lamps. Veiled women drifted silently through the darkness, and as the light faded the city momentarily came to life with the throaty protest of a donkey's bray. Men approached one another and touched noses in greeting.
When we checked in at the Shibam Guest House, the manager asked if we had any extra copies of Plato's Dialogues or Sin, Sex and Self-Control by Norman Vincent Peale. We regretfully informed him that we'd just given away our last copies but would try to bring him some on our next visit. An hour later, freshly showered and dressed for dinner on the garden veranda, Martin looked quite smart in a rumpled linen sports coat. We dipped into plates of hummus, stewed okra, and puréed fava beans fried with green onions, tomatoes, garlic, chilies, and cumin. Steamy rounds of pita bread were served with what DelRae called "a deconstructed Spanish omelette." A wedding procession passed outside the front gate. The sounds of drums and flutes grew faint, camels roared in the distance, and all seemed well in Wadi Hadhramaut.
At first light I hiked into the date groves. From the top of a low hill it was easy to appreciate why Shibam is considered one of the architectural wonders of the world. The 500-or-so mud-brick skyscrapers clustered within the city walls seem to defy all rules of architectural engineering. From a distance the five- to eight-story buildings appeared to be gigantic sand castles. But after I walked through the city and ran my hands over the walls, they took on the character of monumental slabs of clay that had somehow been tilted into place and joined to similar slabs to form buildings.
High above the grid of lanes, covered passageways connected the living quarters of several buildings. The upper and lower sets of small windows on each floor gave the illusion of a greater number of stories; only after we entered one of the buildings did the ingenious weight-distribution system of wooden posts and beams, in conjunction with a massive stone staircase, become apparent. As in modern reinforced-concrete structures, the exterior walls were only partially load-bearing. The inside surfaces of the walls were finished with a skim coat of lime plaster to which egg whites were once added to produce a highly burnished look. Though 7,000 people live within the city walls of Shibam, the streets seemed strangely deserted apart from the lively teahouse and domino culture thriving just outside the walls.
Shibam has been the capital of Wadi Hadhramaut since the third century a.d., and owing to the nature of the basic building unit— sun-dried mud brick— the buildings have been in a perpetual state of deterioration and renewal ever since. The oldest existing structure dates from the 13th century. One house we visited was only 40 years old but looked identical to adjoining buildings of far greater age. This is the result of strictly enforced codes that dictate the use of traditional designs, materials, and building techniques. It's thought that the city looks much as it did following the last major flood, in 1532.
The Hadhrami workers, like most Yemenis, are great travelers, and since the decline of the frankincense trade it has been remittance money from overseas that has allowed the valley to flourish. Workers and businessmen began migrating to India around 1220, and then to Zanzibar and East Africa in the 14th and 15th centuries. Because of the chronic tribal warfare and chaotic conditions in the valley, a new wave of migrant workers left for Java in the 16th century, and another for Singapore 150 years ago. The former Islamic-Marxist government of South Yemen forced the most recent exodus of entrepreneurs to Djibouti and the Gulf States in the late 1960's. (North Yemen and South Yemen were reunited under parliamentary democracy in 1990.) The success of those expatriates has sustained the economy of Wadi Hadhramaut and enabled the construction and maintenance of the buildings that exist today.
Exhausted by an afternoon wandering around in the heat, Martin suggested we retire for a siesta and then go out to dinner in Seyun, a nearby market town where he intended to order the dried shark meat known as lakhm. That evening we took an outdoor table at a café where a kitchenful of sweating men labored like galley slaves behind a row of thundering gas burners. With donkeys braying at the moon, and passing trucks wafting diesel fumes across the tables, a one-eyed waiter brought us plates of lakhm and rice.
Just as Shibam is the crowning example of the mud-brickmaker's craft, lakhm is the ultimate expression of the fish drier's art. Dealers in the market claim that after the shark has been butterflied, salted, and dried in the sun for five days, it will keep for a year or longer. It looked all right on the plate, but the first bite was sufficient to convince me that no amount of salt or extra time left in the sun at the side of the road could possibly diminish the distinctive flavor. It was like encountering a well-aged cheese for the first time, and the taste in my mouth reminded me how far I was from home.
Beads of perspiration rolled down my neck as I sat back and watched Martin finish his plate, then mine. DelRae's face wore a special contemplative look suggesting that, perhaps next time, she would put the finishing touches on the itinerary. I reflected on the allure of exotic cuisines and fabled places, then sipped a bottle of warm cola that had lost its fizz. Despite the spectacular drive across the sand hills of the Ramlat al Sab'atayn, the Bedouin wedding party, and the first mesmerizing glimpse of Shibam at sunrise, I thought, we had come a very long way to look at mud bricks, play marbles with camel dung, and eat lakhm.

In terms of fantasy potential, there really isn't much to like on the Oakland A's. Their starting pitching consists of either journeymen or youngsters, while their offense contains a bunch of guys who either don't hit for much power or steal any bases. It's not a very good team in terms of picking guys up for your fantasy ballclub. Let's see if we can find anything worthwhile, however.
Top Tier
It doesn't look the A's have anyone who deserves to go in the first three or four rounds of mixed league drafts.
Second Tier
CL Huston Street – His ascent to the Major Leagues came rather quickly, and he has not looked back since then. The former Texas closer had 37 saves last year, but somehow blew 11 opportunities. The A's have Justin Duchscherer waiting in the wings, but Street will have the opps earlier next season. We'll see something between his rookie season (1.72 ERA over 78.1 IP) and his sophomore year (3.31 ERA over 70.2 IP). Pencil him in for 38 saves and a 2.70 ERA, but that's just one man's guess.
1B Nick Swisher – In his second full season, Swisher has begun to solidify himself as one of the best power bats available. His 35 homers and 95 RBIs certainly are gaudy, even for the first base position. While there are definite others who belong on your team before him, Swisher can do a fine job as a CI on your team, especially as he continues to mature. Expect similar power numbers next year, but with a much-needed boost in batting average.
C Mike Piazza – Even though he'll be primarily a DH this year, Piazza still qualifies as a catcher this year. And when we look at his .283/22/68 season, we can say top 7 catcher in the Major Leagues. I bet his move to the DH role will give him a .280/25/90 year, and that's definitely something you want on your team. He's Victor Martinez with a little less batting average and a lot further back draft position.
SP Danny Haren – This right hander is turning into a Mark Buerhle type. Pre 2006, of course. If Haren continues to pitch as he had in recent seasons - - serviceable ERA, 14 or so wins, and a fair amount of strikeouts - - he may fulfill that comparison. This year, he'll be 27, which is the beginning of his prime. Let's keep our eyes peeled.
Third Tier
RF Milton Bradley – If Bradley can stay healthy all season, we could see a .280/25-30/100 year from him. He's that talented. However, for whatever reason, he's only gotten more than 400 ABs once. Because of his injured and angry past, let's write Bradley down for a .270 average with 15-20 homers and 60 RBIs. Because of the 10 or so SBs he'd get you, this outfielder is worth owning in AL Only leagues.
LF Bobby Kielty – Kielty is a similar player in terms of Bradley: if he can play every day, expect a .270 batting average, but with 20 homers and 70 RBIs. These are decent numbers, but he doesn't steal bases. He could be a valuable option to ride on hot streaks, but not even worth a last-round pick in your fantasy draft.
2B Mark Ellis – The only reason he's listed here is because of his position, second base. It's such a weak spot, that only catchers are harder to find. Anyway, Ellis hit .249/11/52 last year. What, did you think he'd repeat that .316 figure again? No way! But we can expect .270 with 12 homers, and that might have some value in a very deep, AL Only league where your starter gets injured.
SP Joe Blanton – After a very good 2005, this plump right hander took a step backwards. His freshman campaign had him tossing 201.1 innings with a 3.53 ERA; that last number jumped 1.49 runs in 2006. Oddly enough, he managed to win 16 games -- or more than his freshman year. I'll bet that he's closer to his 2006 figures in 2007, but he should be a decent filler guy for the final portions of your fantasy rotation or a spot starter.
Question Marks
SS Bobby Crosby – This may be Crosby's last chance to coast in as being the A's starting shortstop once players head down to Spring Training. He hasn't been healthy but once in his four seasons in the Major Leagues, and that has got to be killing A's fans. In his only full year, Crosby hit 22 homers, albeit with a .239 average. If he can stay healthy, there's potential for a .260 batting average and Miguel Tejada power numbers.
3B Eric Chavez – It's a shame what happened to this lefty with the sweet swing. Chavez put up five consecutive seasons (2000 through 2004) in which he was a very relevant fantasy factor. Now, he's striking out more often, which has caused a decline in his on base percentage. The big question surrounding Chavez is whether or not he'll reclaim his former glory or did he fizzle out once he got that big contract extension? He finished with an Adrian Beltre-type year last season.
SP Rich Harden – Without question, Harden could be a fantasy ace, if he managed to stay healthy. However, he hasn't managed to stay healthy enough to make more than 31 starts in his career. If he comes back ready to pitch and stays on the mound, he's one of the top 10 pitchers in fantasy; if he misses a few starts (and when he misses starts, he really misses a few), then he's no better than Kelvim Escobar.© Copyright 2012 by mojoomla.com

2015 NYSED Application Timeline
The State Education Department has updated the timeline for the submission of applications to establish charter schools in New York State authorized by the Board of Regents with a plan to open in 2016. In the 2015 Request for Proposals (RFP), the Department will provide two opportunities for applicants to submit new charter school applications. The timeline (below) provides information regarding Round 1 of the competitive RFP process. The requirements and timelines for Round 2 will be posted in late spring.
Still Building Inequality
New York lawmakers recently authorized the first-ever public funding for charter schools' ongoing facility costs—but only for new or expanding charter schools in New York City.
Steal This Plan
This month, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a new School Renewal Program to improve 94 of the city's most struggling schools. The program includes versions of three practices that are hallmarks of top charter schools, but a comparison of Renewal School plans to charter school practices reveals consistent differences in urgency and intensity. As NYC DOE continues to define, implement and strengthen this high- stakes program, as well as prepare support and turnaround plans for hundreds of other schools, charter schools stand ready to share their work.
The NYC Charter School Bookshelf
Despite its small size, the NYC charter school sector has sparked the publication of more than a dozen books, including practical guides for educators as well as histories and memoirs.

Casey Hudson celebrates 10K Twitter followers with ME3 character art
Meet the new beefcake.
One of the best things about Twitter is the giddiness it gives you when your follower base bloats to massive numbers. It makes you do good things, like was the case with Casey Hudson who celebrated his 10,000 Twitter follower milestone (10,600 at the time of writing) by releasing a body shot of one of the new character from Mass Effect 3.
The character is called James Vega and belongs to the soldier class. He was described as a man unfamiliar with the current state of intergalactic politics in the May issue of Game Informer. The character is meant to reflect the perspective of a new player experiencing the franchise for the first time.
Mass Effect 3 will invade retail in March next year. It will be available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Our new 46" Sony just quit working...about two months old. The green light comes on showing power to the tv but no picture or sound. The store arranged for someone to give us a call which they did and after a long discussion they said a panel would be need to be replaced!! We have been without our tv for a couple weeks and even after several phone calls...no part or fix. In the meantime I am wondering if this is a common problem. Should I be satisfied with a fix (if it ever happens) or consider arguing for a different TV I am wondering. |

No, Sony doesn't have any more problems than any other manufacturer... they all have occasional problems. That being said, I don't know how anybody could diagnose a problem over the phone. I think your problem is not with the TV but with whoever it is you purchased it from. Almost any dealer has the ability to replace failed product within the first 90 days through the distributor. Call the dealer, call Sony, call the Better Business Bureau but don't take this sort of stuff! Good luck! |
Thanks Bill for your thoughts. As a matter of fact, the new Sonys - come to find out - have some sort of self diagnosing system and by answering some questions on the phone, the problem can be determined - apparently. Now, we finally got a call from the Sony tech - very apologetically telling us that it is very unusual to have a problem getting the part but it is on back order and wont be available till mid = june. I told her that was unacceptable and she said she understood and that she had told the salesman (our very good friend I don't want to cause any problems with) at the store where we purchased it and we should talk to him. I am trying to decide if I should say I want a replacement - a new tv. After really looking into it, I realize time flies and we have actually had the tv for six months. |

Things to do the night before a long run
No one wants to feel like gu on Saturdays for their long training runs (runner joke, ba dum chhh), so in trying to be a good student of the marathon, I've been enjoying some Friday nights in. I'm not going to tell you which of these things I've actually done on Friday nights, because that would be embarrassing. But, if you find yourself home on a Friday night, prepping for a training run or simply detoxing from a social week/month/year/life, here are some things to keep you entertained:
- Feel really productive by getting your run essentials ready. [Not pictured: water + chocolate coconut water for post-run]
- Try to think of how this substitute teacher would pronounce your name while taking attendance. "Where is A-A-Ron right now?"
- Watch Dateline. This could be a terrible idea if you live alone and are prone to nightmares.
- Read Amanda Bynes' Twitter feed.
- Lose yourself in time and space on Humans of New York, my new favorite site. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll try to figure out where the photog hangs out so you can meet him. What? [I'm trying to think of a project inspired by HONY to assign my students. If you have ideas, please comment!]
- Die laughing while reading Reasons My Son is Crying. "I wouldn't let her play with the bag of dog poop."
- Read your detailed monthly horoscope on Astrology Zone. Wonder what Mercury being in retrograde actually means and why the universe always thinks that you're contemplating buying real estate.
- Watch My So-Called Life on Netflix. Reflect/come to terms with the fact that there was only one season, then watch this:
- Watch all of the Kid President videos.
- Do a handstand.
What do you do on Friday nights in?
[Claire Danes' cry face]

Jessica I won't give away which one I've done either. With you. And have LOVED!

Softball: Bulldogs 'Rock' LC in dramatic DAC victory
By JOHN O'MALLEY Post-Tribune correspondent April 30, 2013 11:16AM
Updated: July 1, 2013 2:23AM
CROWN POINT — Amanda Rock wanted to atone for a trio of errors she made earlier in the game.
Crown Point's junior third baseman definitely came through when her team needed it most in Monday's Duneland Conference game with Lake Central.
Rock lofted a game-winning, two-run bloop single into center field in the bottom of the seventh inning — scoring pinch-runners Brittany Hulen and Haley Sanders with the tying and winning runs — while giving the Bulldogs (7-3, 6-2) a dramatic 3-2 comback win over the Indians (15-7, 5-3).
"I was a little nervous," Rock said. "But I have to give it to my teammates who got on before me. I knew I had to step up and do it for my team there and my teammates really helped. They were cheering me and supporting me and that gave me confidence. I wasn't swinging for the fences. I was just trying to do my job."
Rock's hit enabled freshman pitcher Miranda Elish to pick up the victory and helped CP snap a six-game skid against the Indians.
"That was a total team effort," Elish said. "We've been waiting to beat Lake Central for awhile."
Elish scattered five hits and fanned six. She also went 2-or-2 and picked up her fourth win in as many decisions.
"I thought Miranda pitched very well," LC coach Jeff Sherman said. "She mixed speeds very well. She moves the ball all around the zone. She was very good. I thought both girls pitched wonderfully."
Indians' starting pitcher Annabel Karberg deserved a better fate, particularly after Lily Del Toro's two-out, bloop RBI single in the sixth gave LC a 2-1 lead.
"I thought Annabel really deserved a chance to win the game," said Sherman, when asked if he thought about going to Del Toro to finish the game after CP had runners on second and third in the bottom of the seventh.
"I thought (Karberg) deserved to finish it."
Instead, the 'Dogs finished her — thanks to a lead-off single by Ali Rock, a sacrifice bunt by Gyure and a throwing error on LC third baseman, Paige Carter.
Several CP players talked in the dugout prior to the team's final at-bat. The message being, the game isn't over. These Dogs weren't about to give up.
"I think we had some very good veteran leadership today," CP coach Ginger Britton said. "Ali, Sienna and Amanda, all really stepped up and executed when we really needed them."

– Jeanne K.
"What distinguishes Robin and her approach is her extensive knowledge about nutrition and food. She very effectively combines that knowledge with hands on experimentation for class participants. She encourages each participant to enjoy the experience of different tastes and to have fun! Each event has been an enjoyable and beneficial learning experience. Thanks Robin.

text: Managing Editor Three comedies are featured in this week's DVD review column. Russell Brand in New York This DVD of the recently aired Comedy Central special starring British comic Russell Brand - best known in this country for his turn as the randy pop star in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" - proved to be a disappointment to me. I liked Brand's loopy rock/sex god performance and had heard good things about him, but this performance seemed to be a bit forced. Part of the problem is that Brand spent a good part of the act stressing to his audience that he was indeed famous. He seemed to forget that his job was to entertain, not impress. I also couldn't quite make out his comic persona. At times he was the loopy sex god, while at other times he seemed to a social observer. His style of moving on stage in very exaggerated silly walks certainly was at odds with his rock star fashion statement. The performance is uncensored and would carry an R rating if it was a movie. The extras include his supposedly notorious MTV Video Awards monologue in which he made fun of the Jonas Brothers - ooh, edgy! - and outtakes from the show as well as footage of Brand tooling around New York City. Paul Blart: Mall Cop While watching this comedy starring Kevin James, two comedians came to mind: Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Buster Keaton. Now, I'm not saying that James is in the league of either man - especially Keaton - but his film follows the format established by Keaton and, like Arbuckle, he crafts his character around his body shape. James' character, Paul Blart, is a mall cop who yearns to join the New Jersey State Police, but always fails due to his hypoglycemia. Instead, his law enforcement career consists of being a mall security officer - a well-meaning but fairly incompetent one at that. Abandoned by his wife, Blart is also looking for love as he lives with his daughter and mother. He has a crush on a mall shopkeeper. Blart's devotion to the mall and to his would-be girlfriend is tested when a gang of thieves takes over the mall to steal the access codes to the credit card machines there. Like Arbuckle, James embraces and uses his size for comic effect. He clearly does a bunch of his own stunts and shows a hidden athleticism. By the way, he was on his high school wrestling team with WWE superstar Mick Foley. The plot of the film resembles several of the features made by Keaton: the fumbler who must become a man through adversity. I didn't expect much from this film, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. There were quite a few laughs in it and Blart was an agreeable buffoon who saved the day. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Writer and director Joss Whedon produced this very entertaining superhero musical - which is also quite a serious meditation on the impact of actually getting what you want - during the 2008 writers strike for distribution on the Internet. It was a huge hit and subsequently Whedon released the 42-minute film on a DVD exclusive to Amazon.com. The new release from New Video NYC has the extras from the first Amazon disc, but will be sold in venues other than on Amazon. Shot for a reported $200,000 fronted by Whedon, the film has gone into profit and represents a potentially new business model for filmmakers. Of course, Whedon's large fan following undoubtedly helped him to reach his financial goal, but Internet distribution followed by a DVD release might be the way for some low budget productions to go. The film centers on one aspiring super villain, Dr. Horrible, who has applied for admission to the Evil League of Evil. He is having problems with fulfilling his application thanks to superhero Captain Hammer, who regularly thwarts his plans and beats him up. The film boasts of great performances from Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible and Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer and is funny, moving and sad. This is great stuff from the man who brought us "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Firefly" and the current "Doll House" television series. |

Photographer and film-maker Richard Bernardin has a portfolio that is so chock-full of saucy minxes, it was very difficult to drag ourselves away from its treasures. Canadian Bernardin evidently impresses people over the oceans because he is represented not just in Montreal, but also in Paris and New York City and has had his work featured in Elle, Lush, Icon, R14, Vogue and Vogue Brazil. All his images have a cinematic tinge, and nearly always a saucy and racy edge. More at richardbernardin.com.

The Sorrow and the Citi
Not since Edgar Allan Poe* and H. P. Lovecraft conjured the demonic creatures of the unconscious by candlelight, the wax dripping on their pages like the blonde blood of an custard monster (chilling, huh?) has there been a tale of horror to rival the haunted, cursed, cast-into-Stygian-darkness 2009 season of the New York Mets, as recounted by Vanity Fair's Jim Windolf, whose spirit has been broken.
As someone who has lived and died with the Mets since 1972, I think this has been the most depressing season in the franchise's woeful history. The 1992 Mets, nicknamed "the worst team money could buy", was an outfit more obnoxious and infuriating than this year's club; and the teams of the late 1970s were dismal, as were those of the mid aughts; but no other collection of Mets has been so dispiriting and seemingly jinxed as the '09 version. I say this after having suffered through two infamous late-season collapses in '07 and '08.
Drawing from his diary of the damned, Windolf chronologically retraces the steps and grisly moments that led the Mets and their fans to this place of despond. Some calendar entries:
April 9, 2009: The Reds pound "out of shape" pitcher Oliver Perez, who gives up eight runs in four innings. "All my pitches were working," Perez tells reporters after the game. Asked if Perez's statement makes any sense, Mets catcher Ramon Castro says, "No."
April 10, 2009: Miami. Long before game time, Oliver Perez runs up and down the stairs of Dolphin Stadium with bullpen catcher Dave Racaniello. "With Perez wearing a
white bandana, they look a bit like the Karate Kid and Mr. Miyagi," reports Brian Costa of The Star-Ledger.
May 13, 2009: In a radio interview, newly acquired pitcher J.J. Putz talks about why he has been struggling: "I'm still trying to get used to pitching in this eighth inning and trying to find some adrenaline, because it's not like pitching in the ninth, I'll tell you that." Later that same day, while the Mets play the Atlanta Braves on the grass of Citi Field, a woman is "screaming in the john" in another part of the stadium. It seems she has gotten her arm sucked into one of the "646 ultra-low-flow" toilets while trying to retrieve a lost gold tooth. Security guards and emergency medical workers are unable to pry her loose. She isn't freed until a plumber from Cardoza Plumbing arrives on the scene and works his magic. Mets lose, 8-7.
In May, the Mets still had hope, however. They were actually in first place at one juncture. Then the hope turned to misery and misery into mockery as injuries, brainfarts on the basepaths (failing to touch third before heading home, for example), and shameful lack of hustle sent the Mets into what our previous president might have called a five-spiral dive.
August 15, 2009: Mets All-Star third baseman David Wright suffers a concussion when he is hit in the head by a 94 mile-per-hour fastball thrown by San Francisco Giants starter Matt Cain. Mets lose, 5-4. Wright goes on the disabled list.
Sept. 1, 2009: In Denver, Colorado, David Wright, having apparently recovered from his concussion, returns to action wearing an oversize batting helmet. This piece of protective headgear is so large that bloggers and tweeters razz him with comparisons to Dark Helmet from Spaceballs and the Great Gazoo from The Flintstones. Someone else wonders if the helmet can be seen from Google Earth. Mike Pelfrey (the Mets pitcher who fell off the mound on Opening Day at Citi Field) pitches four terrible innings. Moments after manager Jerry Manuel lifts him from the game, Pelfrey goes through the clubhouse, out the door, and into the parking lot, where he starts to jog. And jog. And jog. So while his teammates are losing to the Rockies inside the stadium, Pelfrey is running around and around the outside of it. Also on this day, veteran left fielder Gary Sheffield pulls himself out of the starting lineup after he asks the Mets for a contract extension and is told no.
Sept. 4, 2009: David Wright ditches the giant helmet.
But it doesn't help what's happening inside his head, the yips to which he's now prey.
Sept. 27, 2009: David Wright inexplicably slows down on his way to home plate, where he is tagged out. He apologizes to his teammates after the game for his lack of hustle. Mets lose to the Marlins, 9-6.
I would point out that it's been no picnic being an Orioles fan either, the Birds having just narrowly dodged a 100-loss season. Then again, a playoff berth wasn't expected on this year's O's, and they weren't given to cantering on the base paths as if lost in reverie and dropping fly balls as if their gloves were anti-magnetic devices; they futilely perservered. Whereas the sloppy play of the Mets congealed into toxic sludge. The Mets won their season finale today, beating the Astros 4-0, but it's difficult to imagine what the organization can do in the offseason to motivate fans into coming back to Citi Field, its very name a synonym for lavish folly.
*Whose bicentennial is being honored in Baltimore through the rest of this tenebrous year.

The Raptors tipped off Training Camp on Tuesday with their first of four two-a-day practice sessions this week at the Canada Games Centre in Halifax. First up after the morning workout was head coach Dwane Casey, who spoke about an early focus on re-establishing the team's defensive foundation early, a rough approximation of Kyle Lowry's "swag quotient", progress for third-year forward Ed Davis and much more.
Speaking of Valanciunas, the rookie big man continues to recover from a calf strain that sidelined him in informal workouts in Toronto last week, but held court with another large group of media on Tuesday. Watch his scrum below, with a particularly interesting comment on looking forward to matching up against Lakers pivot Dwight Howard.
Why? "Because he's the best centre in the league."
Raptors President and General Manger Bryan Colangelo then held court to end the morning session in a wide-ranging scrum that covered the advantages and benefits of holding training camp abroad, plus more in increasing the level of character and internal competition on his roster.
We'll have a little more from the second half of Tuesday's two-a-day tomorrow, but perhaps no photo sums up the work put in on Day One, than this shot of John Lucas III and Lowry.
Ice down and sleep well, back at it for two more practices tomorrow…
