Our race blogger made it to the finish well behind winners Jeremiah Bishop and Pua Sawicki. But he made it.
By Thom Parsons
Those who think the words "epic" and "brutal" are played out or cliched are probably just bitter because they haven't done anything epic or brutal lately. Come out to Colorado to do the Breck Epic. I defy those haters to hike/ride over French gulch or Wheeler Pass and not use the words epic or brutal. I defy them.
Today was the "easy" stage. We rode out of the Ice Rink parking lot that has served as ground zero for the 2010 Breck Epic all week. As we rolled up the road during our not-so-neutral-as-per-usual start, I realized that I should have peed beforehand, but I was feeling good. I wondered if I was going to have an "I am totally going to pee myself" day. The kind of day where I'd be so concerned with losing time that I'd have no qualms about urinating in my bib shorts.
There are many behind the scenes occurrences that are not discussed in professional cycling. Peeing in your pants is one of them. During the Tour De France the riders take very civilized "natural breaks," where they pull over on the side of the road to take a leak, but there is nothing civilized about mountain biking. Nobody bats an eye when a rider attacks a competitor during a mechanical. No press conference apologies are necessary, no anti-I'm-a-big-fat-jerk ads have to be run. That, and we pee our pants. Well, let me speak for myself … I pee my pants. The thing is, when you're wearing lycra, it's not so much like you're peeing your pants. The lycra doesn't hold all that much liquid: That's its nature. It's much more like you are peeing your shoe. More on that bit of wonderfulness in a second.
Back in the day when I was a Sport-going-on-Expert racer, I had a discussion with my wicked-fast friend Colin. He told me that the difference between a Sport racer and an Expert racer, aside from riding your bike for more than three hours a week and not eating nachos three meals a day (What, you've never had breakfast nachos? You haven't lived.) was this: Expert riders are willing to pee their pants to win … or at least place in the top 11. Not too long after that discussion I was faced with that very situation: pee my pants or lose 45 seconds to a minute not peeing my pants. It was a — pun unavoidable — watershed moment. At first it was incredible, such a huge relief, "Oh wow, this is great, the best feeling ever!" Having to pee really bad is the definition of negative reinforcement. It's not like peeing feels really good, it's that not-peeing feels so bad. You're just removing the horrible discomfort of not-peeing.
Anyway …
Then the pee began running down my leg, which wasn't so bad either. Then it started to pool … in my left shoe … and the shoe got heavy, "Ugh, this is not so great, this feels quite ooky." The pee-filled shoe feeling is not awesome, but it beats the feeling of a borderline exploding bladder any day. And that is all I'm going to say about pee and shoes for now. Oh wait, one more thing: Don't forget to wash your shoe, and for the love of God, don't leave the thing in the car overnight in the middle of summer. Your wife will murder you … and me, for telling you that peeing in your shoes is a very-pro thing to do.
So yes, I peed my pants today and it was amazing. I even got to ride through a couple streams to rinse off some of the result, but then, immediately after letting 'er rip, I flatted. Again. I am a flat machine. I can flat any tire at any pressure on any terrain. I could flat downhill tires riding over bubble wrap. Anyone need a tire tester? I'm available. I was standing there on the side of trail wearing my bib-shorts-turned-ineffective-adult diapers feeling kind of like an idiot. If I had only waited a few more minutes I would have been able to pee on the side of trail like a normal person while fixing my fifth Breck Epic flat. That way I could have spent more time drinking beer at the finish line, instead of running off to get out of my stinky-pee pants before I got made fun of for being a chamois-wetter.
One of the rules of The Breck Epic was "Don't be poopy," but there was no rule about "not being pee-pee." That was a joke for all the six-year-olds in the audience, thank you. Thank you very much.
I hope you have found this race report about the final stage of the Breck Epic educational and informative. With any luck, I'll be back next year to ride these sweet trails and pee in my shoe some more. See you then.

Does Rush Limbaugh's apology put his 'slut' comment behind him? Not likely
(Read article summary)Rush Limbaugh apologized for calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" because of her comments about contraception. But that unusual retreat by the sharp-tongued talk show host has not ended the matter as a political weapon.
Brian Jones/Las Vegas News Bureau/AP
You didn't think Rush Limbaugh's apology to Sandra Fluke for calling her a "slut" because of her comments about contraception would end the controversy, did you? In the middle of a presidential campaign? Of course not.
Anything involving sex, women's rights, and the acid-tongued conservative radio broadcaster was bound to keep political partisans and the media stirring the pot for days, if not longer.
Just to review….
When a Republican House committee chairman (Darrell Issa) denied Georgetown University law school student Sandra Fluke permission to speak at a hearing, minority Democrats quickly organized their own unofficial event at which Ms. Fluke talked about the importance of having contraception services covered under government-required health insurance plans.
Never one to waste an opportunity to attack liberal causes, Mr. Limbaugh took after Fluke – calling her a "slut," a "prostitute," and – one of his personal favorites – a "feminazi." He also suggested that she make sex tapes and post them online "so we can all watch."
Outrage ensued on the left, grudging criticisms of Limbaugh on the right – some from Republicans known to have apologized to Limbaugh when he took them to task for not being sufficiently conservative.
To Democrats, it was proof of the GOP's "war on women."
Advertisers on Limbaugh's syndicated radio show, heard by millions every day, began jumping ship.

More in Floors
Lay Rosin paper over entire floor, overlapping the seams and taping them down. This acts as your moister barrier.
After the entire floor is covered with Rosin paper, start your installation in a corner of the room. Using a speed square, measure your first 90 degree piece (Image 1). Using a miter saw, cut two 45 degree angles, one on each side of the wood plank (Image 2). This will give you your 90 degree piece.
Using a pneumatic nail gun, secure the first piece in the corner of the room. When laying your planks, make sure the tongue side is facing out into the room.
When the first piece is secure, take your measurements to get your plank length (Image 1). Cut another set of 45 degree angles: one on each side of the plank using a 12" miter saw. Once each plank is cut, fit the tongue side of the previous plank into the grooved side of the new plank. Use a rubber mallet and tapping block to tap planks into place (Image 2).
When the planks are locked in, take a flooring stapler and place tip onto the tongue of the plank. Staple the plank onto floor every 6 inches, keeping the tip of the stapler on the tongue of the plank.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all remaining planks of flooring, making sure you are working away from the original corner.

It's indicative of Valve's creativity that we don't play Team Fortress 2, but we still get excited about the game's hilarious updates. In its most recent patch, TF2 received the new "Highlander" mode, in which teams are composed of nine players -- but each team can only have one of each class. In other words, "There can be only one (Spy, Sniper, Heavy, etc.)." This not only sounds like an interesting new mode, but it also gives us occasion to link to the intro for the Highlander television series, which scientists recently concluded is the coolest intro sequence in the history of mankind.
We're also guessing the ultra-Scottish Demoman class gets some sort of intangible benefits while playing in this mode, but that's just pure speculation.

Firefox 3.5 Ready For Download
Complete with optimized Java and HTML5 video and audio support, the latest version of the Firefox browser is now available for server-download.
Version 3.5 had an unusual birth. Originally intended to be the 3.1, Shiretoko, the codename of the new release, had far too many changes and innovations on board to be a simple successor to 3.0. Now, after several beta and release candidates, the 3.5 browser is ready and available for download from various servers. An official announcement is expected to follow soon.
Among the most prominent features so far is native support for audio and video tags from HTML5 which (like Opera) enables the viewing of Ogg media files without any plug-ins. Which explains why some major video platforms have converted to Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora.
The new release also comes with a geolocation function which enables webservers to pinpoint positions of users via the Firefox browser, either through the IP address or by means of a radio network bearing- provided explicit permission is given by the user. Thanks to an object-saving cache, some tasks can be carried out offline. This should prove useful for a multitude of web applications. Firefox brings a number of further features, but not yet support for multi-threading, which will probably come with version 3.6.
Firefox 3.5 can be downloaded from Mozilla's own server, or from a number of mirrors, like here or here.

Damon Lindelof on Women in Star Trek Into Darkness
Today in things that make us scream incoherently
"Why is Alice Eve in her underwear, gratuitously and unnecessarily, without any real effort made as to why in God's name she would undress in that circumstance? Well there's a very good answer for that. But I'm not telling you what it is. Because... uh... MYSTERY?" - Star Trek Into Darkness writer Damon Lindelof writing probably the most idiotic thing he could write in a letter to MTV. They had asked, "I feel like I have to start with the biggest mystery/conversation that's surrounded the film from the get go. Why is Alice Eve in her underwear at one point?" Because, well, that is an incredibly relavent question to ask. I mentioned it briefly in my non-TMS review but really, I could have gone on for pages about it. Eve's character of Dr. Carol Marcus was touted to have incredible intelligence, though instead of allowing her to use it to effect the plot, she was used as the most blatant eye-candy I've seen in a long time. We see this kind of thing a lot in Hollywood, sure, but the scene in question was akin to an actor holding up and verbally speaking the name of a can of Coca-Cola during a scene about cats or general surgery. And for a writer to respond to serious criticism in such a flippant manner is disappointing to say the least. Not to mention what he said when asked about a rumored shirtless scene for Benedict Cumberbatch's character:

- Helen Barrett Montgomery: The Global Mission of Domestic Feminism by Kendal P. Mobley
Helen Barrett Montgomery was a prominent member of the women's ecumenical movement of the early twentieth century. With a degree in classics from Wellesley College, Montgomery was a knowledgeable and compelling speaker, author, and teacher of Bible classes containing as many as 250 women.
The Bible and Missions is Montgomery's second contribution to a series of instructional materials by women and for women. It presents her many years of thought on the significance of women and missions to Protestant culture. The useful new introduction locates Montgomery's thought in historical context and makes clear what a force she was in her time.
A work of unquestionable importance to historians of the modern missionary movement.
—Benjamin L. Hartley, associate professor of Christian mission, Palmer Theological Seminary
Helen Barrett Montgomery's skill as an educator, scholar, missiologist, and church leader is admirably revealed in this classic.
—Reid S. Trulson, executive director, American Baptist International Ministries
Helen Barrett Montgomery was a social reformer, a Baptist luminary, and a prominent intellectual in the American women's ecumenical missionary movement. In this definitive biography, Kendal Mobley analyzes the intellectual development of the fascinating woman and locates her in the context of her rapidly-changing times. Mobley explores Montgomery's early family influences, her education and spiritual development, and her relationship with other notable individuals of the era, including Susan B. Anthony. As Mobley points out, Montgomery believed that Christianity gave women equal spiritual and social status with men. Consequently, she saw "woman's work for woman" as the cutting edge of a global movement for women's emancipation.
Helen Barrett Montgomery does not fit neatly into our contemporary stereotypes of conservative and liberal, or feminist and traditionalist. This well-nuanced study of her life and influence places this incredible woman in the context of her times and presents her as a daring and influential figure in the world Christian movement. Well researched and well written.

Really Great Season and an Improvement on the Last,
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (DVD)
After the kitchen-sink approach of season three, season four of True Blood went back to basics in many ways. Maybe the writers saw the need to have more cohesive stories this year (In fact, a couple of the commentators on the season three DVDs mentioned their desire to have things be more contained writing-wise). That I feel was the major flaw of the still deliciously entertaining third season. But, season four reminded me of the first season in some ways. Things stayed in Bon Temps and everyone was much more involved with each other. I really enjoyed how everyone became intertwined again.
So, the Big Bad for this season is technically two women: a timid medium named Marnie (Fiona Show) who becomes possessed with the vengeful spirit of an Inquisition-era witch Antonia (Paula Turbay). Marnie was an interesting villain; much more vulnerable and humanized than Maryann or Russell Edgington or even Rene. She was so shy and meek that she had to become possessed by a witch to find her inner Bad. For this reason, she can be considered somewhat of a weak villain. But, once Antonia enters the picture, Marnie becomes quite the bad ass. The commanding confidence she exudes from this point on demonstrates Shaw's talent as an actress, since she's basically going from one extreme to the other. Still, I found it hard to enjoy Marnie's evilness as much as I did Maryann or Russell, who were endlessly fun to watch. Now, on to the big deal of season four: Sookie and Eric finally hook up, after about a season and a half of sexual tension. I had been waiting for this day since season three and, even though Eric had to lose his bite for it to happen, I still relished every moment. Anna Paquin and Alexander Skarsgard have always had fantastic chemistry. Not as searing as her with Stephen Moyer, but still undeniably believable. I'd have to disagree wholeheartedly with the reviewer who said their sex scenes "lacked heat". The episode where they first make love was some of the hottest sex I've seen on the show. The build-up of tension and release was comparable to the first time Sookie and Bill had sex in season one. There's such a sweet satisfaction in just seeing it finally happen. I haven't read the books but I heard Bill gradually disappears after he and Sookie break up. The fact that the show still has Bill around made for some great tension. As much as I was annoyed with Bill in season three, he grew back on me this season. All the mixed emotions he experienced in regards to Sookie and Eric - petty jealousy, regret, wanting her to be happy, trying to focus on his duties as king instead - really humanized him. He wasn't dealing with it as a cold-blooded vampire but as a flesh-and-blood man would deal with a breakup and seeing his ex with his former nemesis. Stephen Moyer really took command of this season and his new title as King brought out an interesting new dimension of Bill. The Jason/Jessica/Hoyt love triangle was completely unexpected but I enjoyed it every minute of it, as well as the consequences it brought. As far as the other storylines, there were pros and cons. Kristin Bauer van Straten was at the top of her game as Pam, more sarcastic and biting than ever, but she didn't have much to do but stand around and complain (and rot). Tara has always been one of my favorites and I appreciated her getting her strength back this year and not crying every single episode. Her joining forces with Marnie/Antonia was a smart twist, due to her history with vampires, but it didn't seem to have a payoff. In the end, Tara obviously regretted it but we didn't learn how much it developed her character. I did really love Sam and Tommy's relationship, though. It was so troubled and turbulent but, in the end, we saw how deeply both men loved each other. The season finale was epic. So many twists and turns and surprises. In my opinion, it's the best season finale in the show's history. We've been left with so many unanswered questions and so many juicy cliffhangers. I absolutely cannot wait until season five!

Best "TRUE BLOOD" season to date!,
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)
For many reasons, season 4 far exceeded my expectations. I have loved the series from day one, but season 4 took us to a much darker place filled with surprises and shock.
One truly standout character was Marnie (played with finesse by Fiona Shaw). She has been the best villain (for lack of a better word)of the series thus far. It gave our beloved characters some great story lines to explore, and all were acted brilliantly. I loved the dark fairy world Sookie was taken to in the season premiere. Anna Paquin has really found the character of Sookie and embraced it. She is a wonderful actress who never fails to deliver. The plot with Lafayette & Jesus was benign and sweet all at the same time and their relationship really came full circle (a rare thing on this series). Some of the story lines seemed out of place, in particular the Jason/Were-Panther/rape plot, but it ended and was only briefly mentioned thereafter. I have loved the character of Tara, but this season sort of squandered her character, changing her in ways I never wanted to see. Perhaps in reality, the same may have happened to Tara I suppose (after all she has been through). As for the Vamps, Eric and Pam were a joy to watch, while I am growing a bit tired of Bill and his new high & mighty endeavor as "King of Louisiana" (he seems so selfish and self-impressed now, not the Bill we knew before). Sam's story line was watchable (especially the relationship with his brother, Tommy), while I found the Andy Bellfleour plot completely unnecessary and quite frankly boring. They gave Alcide little to do, but set him up for many more great things to come which is engaging. As for the plot with Arlene & her "devil" baby, it could have been removed all together. Quite silly at times, but okay nonetheless. That being said, Jessica (played by Deborah Ann Woll with innocence) is quite possibly one of the best reasons to watch "TB". She is a fascinating character and a brilliant actress. The season 4 ender leaves us with many less characters, and many more reasons to tune in to season 5. I dread the wait. It was a superb, very gratifying finale. If you look past the minor flaws of the series, it truly is the most inventive, addictive, mind-frenzy on television today. Don't miss it, and definitely don't miss this season!

Vampires, Witches, & Werewolfs Oh My!,
By C-Veg (USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)
I'm a fan of both the TV series and the books, and as the show progresses it goes farther and farther from the books, but that isn't really a bad thing. In the fourth season there is the usual amount of vampire and werewolf drama, but now adds witches to the mix as well. I loved the casting of Fiona Shaw this season. I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but I really liked the storylines for Jessica this season, as well as Sookie spending her time with someone other then Bill. The one really weak point of the season, in my opinion, was Tara, as it didn't really seem like she fit anywhere inparticular.

Makes Me Mourn for Season 1,
This review is from: True Blood Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
Having just watched the first episode of season 4, I, after lying in the fetal position for a good thirty minutes, decided to communicate my feelings of embarassment and utter sadness at what this show has become in a healthy and cathartic way. Let me just say, I struggled through the latter half of season 2 and the whole of season 3, because while I knew what I was watching was looming closer and closer to soap opera mediocrity with every episode, I still had hope, however slim, that maybe I would finally be reunited with the show I knew and loved if I just kept with it. So, I mustered strength I didn't know I had in me and continued to watch. Now, it DID get exceptionally difficult to keep going after watching a scene with Anna Paquin, in one of the poorest acting jobs I have seen to date, scream like a moron while surrounded by a circle of laughably-artificial fire, especially since I like Anna Paquin, having loved her in season one and the beginning of season 2, and as a film actress, I think she is one of the more competent-but my GOD! I was not expecting that at all, regardless of how rediculous the writing had become at that point. This show has taken a 90 degree plunge following the latter half of season 2, for a number of reasons:
1. The dialogue has become so bad, it's actually becoming hilarious 2. Characters who they make a big fuss setting up a plot for are killed off for no reason, other than it's obvious the writers are realizing they shouldn't have introduced them in the first place and just can't think of anything else to do with them. 3. The personal connections between characters (e.g Sookie and Tara) are almost nonexistent now, and none of the characters feel real or even likeable in comparison to how they originally started out. 4. Characters are being treated more like Sims, for the writers to just manipulate and see to what rediculous extent they can push them- Tara being a vamp (cheap); Sookie going to play in Fairie world; Jason hooking up with a werepanther( really?) who becomes crazy and then never referenced AGAIN?! 5. Too many stories that have no connection with each other and have no interesting substance, whatsoever. 6. The use of slow-motion and cheesy one-liners that just go to show how low the creators are willing to stoop to get viewers, And the list goes on and on... This is becoming one of those shows that I watch if I'm in a bad mood and need a cheap laugh (and believe me, this is laughable), which actually makes me sad because of how much I loved season 1. The story was straightforward and all of the little subplots tied together, the characters felt realistic and likeable, the dialogue was smart, funny but never corny, and above all else, every episode was memorable and not just there to set up a bunch of cliff hangers for the next episode to answer. Having gone back and watched the season for the first time since it premiered on TV, I look at the characters and how completely unrecognizable they seem. Remember when Sookie acted a little bit the intelligent and balsy woman instead of the useless nuisance who just screams like a baby when she gets in trouble? Remember how Sam and Tara had a fling or that he was completely in love with Sookie? Or when Lafayette was the funny, slightly flamboyant clown? Remember when Bill was sexy and mysterious and when Eric had that bangin' Kurt Cobain hairdo and that evil streak we couldn't help but dig? I admit, with the slow but steady descent these characters have been on since, it took me awhile to remember, and now that I do, I want to see THEIR show, instead of this fairytale vomit that has taken its place.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)
I'd rate this more like 2.75 stars, but that's not an option so I'm rounding :)
THE PROS: 1) There are exciting cliffhangers for almost every show. 2) The witches are the best nemeses they've had on TB yet. 3) We almost get to see all of Alcide... almost. 4) It looks like someone exciting will be back for Season 5. THE CONS: 1) Sookie is getting on my last nerve. 2) Eric has become a wuss. 3) Ditto #2 for Pam. 4) The sex has become vanilla & lacks heat. 5) The fairy storyline is as annoying as the Hot Shot one. 6) Characters we have actively come to care about get killed off left and right. 7) The Eric-Sookie-Bill love triangle is starting to feel like a drawn out storyline from All My Children. Erica Kane does it better.

Addictive like "V" and about as good for you!,
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (DVD)
Okay. While this series has a few too many "WTF?!?!" moments (this season in particular), I do love TRUE BLOOD. I love just about everyone in it, although Anna Paquin (aka The Perpetually-On-The-Verge-Of-Tears Actress) does bother me at times. I love their guest stars. In this season, Fiona Shaw is marvelous. I love the characters, although the main characters of Sookie and Bill seem to change motivations and emotions on a dime and it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense when that happens. However, characters like Jason, Hoyt, Andy, Terry, Arlene, Lafayette, Jesus, Pam, Nan, and Eric really work well, even if they get stuck in sub-plots that seem to involve several characters but only affect one.
I also am really bugged by TRUE BLOOD. The character of Alcide seems to exist merely to have some additional beefcake on the show. He's a Maguffin and not a real fleshed-out character. Sam, who I loved in the first season, is becoming increasingly insufferable. His whole relationship with Tommy and Luna was an unwelcome distraction during this season. I like Sam Trammell a lot as an actor, but his whole arc this season was frustrating and it felt cheap. I'm also not terribly thrilled with Tara either. I was much more interested to follow her adventures in New Orleans with Naomi cage-fighting and maybe confronting something there that forced her to come back other than staying in a place she so obviously shouldn't be in for any reason other than seeing Sookie again. Also, her whole character arc is too interesting to be wasted as something of a hostage, both literally and figuratively. Tommy is another character that I was consistently upset with, mostly because I hate any character that exists merely as a plot device but has been built up as something more important, and his was to screw up the lives around him and gain a power that will allow a "major" plot point to happen. The only character that I think has a truly unique and powerful arc is Jessica. She's really the only character that doesn't have a prescribed set of baggage and rules that automatically come with her, and Deborah Ann Woll is enough of an actress to keep me tuning in. This season sees another big set of changes to her and it's really stunning watching her character grow. But this season is really about Marnie and Antonia and how a quest for power and a quest for vengeance collide and create a union powerful enough to threaten all of Louisiana's, and possibly the world's vampires. As Nan Flanagan and the newly-anointed King of Louisiana Bill Compton confront Westboro Baptist Church types (holding up signs reading "God Hates Fangs", which I thought was rather clever) along with persistent national media also look to continue, with support from Eric, to help vamps come "out of the coffin". Meanwhile, Sookie, whisked off to the outlands of The Fae at the end of the previous season, escapes (from a threat that doesn't seem, at first, to have any bearing on the season at all) with her grandaddy, played VERY briefly by the wonderful Gary Cole, after only being in the Fae dimension for only a few minutes to discover that she's been gone for over a year with everyone thinking her dead, her house sold to a new owner, and she's still neck-deep in trouble. Well, almost everyone thought she was dead. The only one that didn't give up hope was Eric, who is actually her new landlord. Things are kind of the normal state of generally F'd up in Bon Temps with "V" addict Sheriff Andy, Arlene thinking her son is possessed by Rene, and The MoonGoddess Emporium is causing a whole lot of chatter in the undead community as it's discovered that the proprietor and professional door-mat Marnie (Fiona Shaw) has very limited necromancer abilities. This forces a visit by Eric, by order of King Bill, to scare the pants off of Marnie... and that is naturally when everything starts to really go off-the-charts crazy. Now I realize that this is essentially an adult soap opera. It's natural for this show to go nuts. However, there are some sub-plots and elements of the main plot that are just BAD. The clunkiest sub-plot that comes to mind is the quasi-incestual relationship between Bill and his attorney when, with the help of another wonderful guest-star Katherine Helmond, he discovers she's his great-great-great-great-great granddaughter. Another resounding thud was the possession of Arlene's baby. It seemed totally unnecessary, other than to give another crisis that results in a newfound ability in one character. Another major source of confusion was Bill and his Romney-esque flip-flopping on his "no human killing" policy. I realize that all living things are inconsistent, but to be so extreme and waffling so often was annoying. Also Tommy. Just everything about him and everything he does. I understand he's unedjucated and that he's just a kid, but COME ON. No one is really that stupid. The main source of entertainment for this season, though, came from the unlikely relationship between Sookie and Eric after Eric's initial confrontation with Marnie/Antonia. And this leads to tension, frustration, gentleness, beauty, humor and LOTS of hot sex. As I watched this season, I was reminded of two other TV shows: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (the set for MoonGoddess Emporium looks like it was stolen from the magic shop set of BTVS; the love triangle between a dark, brooding vampire and a flamboyant blonde vampire; the bisexuality of the best friend... I could go on) and AMERICAN HORROR STORY. I know that last one sounds strange, but stay with me: AHS is a show that I know in my heart isn't that great, but it's addictive as heck. This season of TRUE BLOOD was very similar in that regard. I know it's been better and this season could have been a lot better, but there's just something about this show that keeps me coming back.

I've been captivated by Bon Temps and it's characters since the get go. Since I no longer have cable, to say I was eagerly waiting the release of this season would be an understatement. I enjoy the character development, the writing, the pure fantasy of the show. This is escapism at its best and I enjoy every bloody moment.

A travisty to the wonderful books it based on.,
By Autumn Witch (San Francisco / Inverness) - See all my reviews
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)
When this show first started I thought wow, they were finally going to do a great show about not-only vampires but other supernaturals as well. Also, since I have read all the books that this show is based on and loved them so much I hoped so much that the show would try to stay close to the real story.
For the first three seasons I wasn't too upset by the changes but this fourth season it was just pure rubbish. I wish I knew why the producers and writers of the show just decided to destroy such a wonderful story but they did. They took probably the most fantastic story element and character and just threw them away. Not only that, they purposely killed off the one of the best characters (and most beloved characters in the book) in such a way that they were giving the finger to all the people who loved her. Besides being brutal and sad it was so unnecessarily mean spirited. That's what angers me. Fine you don't like her concept then why use her at all? Why create her just to hurt those who lover her? I know the writers went out of their way to hurt the people who loved this part of the story. I hope that Harris didn't approve of this, in fact I hope she doesn't help them any more. I have hundreds of films in my collection and for the first time when I watched the last episode of a something I went right over to the rubbish bin and threw not only the forth season away but the whole series and I cancelled my HBO subscription which I only had to watch True Blood. I am so saddened that they ruined such a great story. I don't know why they did it but my feeling is that the writers wanted things that were dark and mean and terrible instead of bringing so beautiful goodness to the world. Such a shame it had such potential. I really thought someone finally got it. I know a lot of you are going to give me negative remarks and give me a bad vote but darn, I just am so disappointed and sad that some no talent writers ruined such a great concept.

The True Blood story continues. I will not spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it, so here it goes: Characters in the series change their behavior and act very different from what is known, which complicates many of the ongoing relationships between them. There are new characters that come in to make a mess of things and you'll just have to get this set to find out. It is very enjoyable TV viewing, although the gratutious nudity has been reduced from previous seasons.

They Did the Monster Mash,
This review is from: True Blood: Season 4 (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)
I'm a monster; you're a monster; he's a monster; she's a monster. Wouldn't you like to be a monster too? Well come on down to Bon Temps, Louisiana, y'all! You're bound to become a werewolf, witch, medium, witch doctor, ghost, shapeshifter, fairy, demon, demon baby or...hmmm what am I missing? Ah, vampire of course! That's right...by Season 4 of True Blood everyone's a monster or have partnered up with a monster or have drank monster blood or have been involved with a monster in some way, shape or form.
Season 4 begins a year after the finale of Season 3, and Bill Compton played by wooden actor Stephen Moyer has been named King Vampire of Monsterland in mostly unseen events. Sookie is gaining control of her fairy powers. A coven of witches creates chaos for the local vamps, especially Eric. Jugheaded Jason is a full-fledged sheriff's deputy and in danger of becoming a werepanther (LoL). And Sam has to deal with his brother who has gained an upper-handed shapeshifting power. While the notion of the national (global?) rise of the monsters is really kinda of silly, as I'm tongue in cheek deliberately trying to make it sound above, I have to say that I can't resist this show. I'm completely hooked in. True Blood has "truly" glamoured me. It's very well produced and has some very cool special effects. While many of the plot lines are really hard to swallow this season and contain various inconsistencies (like why is it the vamps only have to be invited into an establishment in some cases and can barge right into others at will?), the stories and side stories are mostly fun and exciting to watch. And I will be hooked in again in the summer of 2012 when Season 5 returns. As usual, Season 4 ended with cliffhangers for all of the main characters (and the actual or suggested return of past characters) that have you jonesing for more True Blood like a bad V addiction. So my DVR will be loyally set to record at 9 p.m. on Sunday nights when the show begins again. If you rely on the DVD releases for watching this series, and I am now glamouring you, you must immediately click Add to Cart. |

A Sleepy Eye man has reportedly been ordered to pay $1,500 in wildlife restitution after admitting to illegally baiting deer during the annual City of New Ulm Flandrau State Park Deer Hunt. 34-year-old James G. Osmonson pleaded guilty to gross misdemeanor unlawful transportation of wild animals in Brown County Court for the incident, and 4 other charges were dismissed. In addition to the restitution, Osmonson will also be required to pay $900 in DNR fees, will be on probation for one year, and will be prohibited from obtaining a big game license for 3 years. He reportedly admitted to using bait during a hunt in which he killed 3 deer. The 100-pounds of venison obtained in that hunt was confiscated by the DNR.

Of the eight proposals, only four were accepted
Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar has criticised the Railway Ministry for "doing injustice" to the State in the Railway Budget 2013-14.
Mr. Shettar said in a release that Karnataka's rail infrastructure density was just 16.9 per cent as against the national average of 24 per cent, and way below Tamil Nadu's rail infrastructure density of 31 per cent. Despite this, most of the projects proposed by Karnataka were not considered by the Railway Minister, Mr. Shettar said. This is in spite of the fact that Karnataka is the only State sharing 50 per cent of the cost and providing land for free for new railway projects.
Mr. Shettar said that of the eight new railway projects proposals sent by Karnataka, only four were accepted.State's request to execute Bijapur-Shahabad, Talaguppa-Honnavar and Hubli-Ankola new line projects under the PPP mode were also not considered.
The All India Loco Running Staff Association said that the Budget should have focussed on complete implementation of Anil Kakodkar committee recommendations on railway safety.

So, I just picked up Shaco for Dom, and I've been having fun with him, but since I'm still pretty new to him, I figured I should look for advice on how to use him, such as builds and masteries. Help me, forum minions!
Unfortunately, I am not very knowledgeable about using Shaco, since I do not even own him. But Sauron's guide does offer some basic advice.
JUSt REMEMBER IT IS ALWAYS WORTH IT, 100%.
Help in teamfights. Be an annoying, slippery little ****, but please, help in teamfights. AD Shaco does more damage. Dem stealth crits. NamKim sent you the build. When people refer to "AP Shaco," they are not referring to a build. They are actually referring to a too popular playstyle. You build box nests and bait people into them. It gets predictable, and you're never around to help your team. The infamous playstyle gives the build a bad rap. Of course, you don't have to have that playstyle whenever you build AP. Try DFG and Sweeper for AP. AD scales better in the end, though.
Builds and masteries can be looked up anywhere. Playstyle is more important. The top two things you can do as Shaco are remember to box up the jungle and don't die. Deceive unpredictably, put boxes down to cover your escape, juke with your clone and the deceive jump, but just don't get caught and die. The longer you're alive, the more damage you can do, and that Shaco global taunt is strong when you continually piss off the enemy team. When it comes to builds, AD Shaco is going to be the more traditional assassin who's going to jump on someone's back and start stabbing. AP Shaco is based more around map control with boxes (not that AD shouldn't be using boxes anyway!) and poking people down. It's ridiculously hard to nail down and has strong point defense, but doesn't actually do much in a team fight once your cooldowns go down due to BMS (AKA Burst Mage Syndrome). DFG-LB can actually dish out a lot of burst damage on demand, but you still run into BMS. Without your clone you can basically toss knives and troll people with deceive if they have the brain cells to hit your box once or twice before it activates.

Stephen Colbert on Capitol Hill: Did he endorse Pledge for America?
(Read article summary)Stephen Colbert testified on Capitol Hill Friday about ... stuff. The mock-conservative pundit even made some Democratic aides wince.
Kevin Lamarque/Reuters
Yes, Stephen Colbert testified Friday before Congress in character as the blowhard pundit from Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report." Not all the members of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration were happy he was there. That was clear from their body language. Rep. John Conyers (D) of Michigan, chairman of full Judiciary panel, even made an abortive attempt to keep Mr. Colbert from speaking, asking him to just submit his statement for the record, instead.
But Colbert did speak. And as you might expect, he was something of a loose cannon in a china shop. He'd had been invited by the subcommittee chairman, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D) of California, to discuss farm labor issues. His expertise? He worked on a farm for a day as part of the United Farm Workers "Take Our Jobs" campaign, which challenges US laborers to replace immigrants in the fields.
Despite being invited by a Democrat, Colbert took jabs at Democrats that, even though they came from a fictional character, caused Democratic aides to wince.
For instance, he noted that only a handful of people had accepted the UFW's "Take Our Jobs" challenge, but "that number may increase in the future, as I understand many Democrats may be looking for work come November."
And the farm work? It is hard. Really, really hard. You have to bend over to pick things a lot.

CHICAGO — The American Library Association (ALA) Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) is seeking nominations for its 2014 John Phillip Immroth Memorial Award. The John Phillip Immroth Memorial Award honors intellectual freedom fighters in and outside the library profession who have demonstrated remarkable personal courage in resisting censorship. The award consists of $500 and a citation. Individuals, a group of individuals or an organization are eligible for the award. The deadline for nominations is Dec. 1, 2013.
CHICAGO — Readers from across the United States and around the world will demonstrate their support for free speech by participating in a Virtual Read-Out of banned and challenged books during Banned Books Week, Sept. 22 – 28, a time when the nation celebrates the freedom to read and the American Library Association (ALA) brings attention to the censorship of books in schools and libraries.
CHICAGO — Teens are the future of our Democracy. As they grow up to be voters, it is important that they be prepared to be smart consumers of information.
San Antonio teens received the training that will help them along that road, thanks to the News Know-how program offered by the San Antonio Public Library's Teen Services Department at the Central Library, in partnership with the American Library Association and the Open Society Foundations.
CHICAGO - America is rich in opinions. This is especially true when it comes to its politics.
Between newspaper and magazine columns and television and radio commentary, it is always easy to find pundits from both ends of the political spectrum freely airing their views on any number of subjects.
But although opinion pieces leave plenty of room for flaunting biases, that doesn't excuse flouting the facts. And the reader must still determine whether opinions have a basis in fact - and whether the writer presents them with integrity and credibility.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Library Association (ALA) and Google, Inc., will host national library, education, technology, legal and policy experts for a national symposium considering the impact of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) on access to electronic information July 29 and 30. Librarians nationwide can join the virtual conversation with two Google Hangouts on July 30.
ALA Launches Privacy Tools for Libraries
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Coming off the heels of Independence Day, the American Library Association (ALA) launched "ALA Liberty," a new website that contains tools libraries can use to host educational sessions and public forums that help Americans understand their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
CHICAGO — The Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) of the American Library Association (ALA) announces that the Utah Library Association Intellectual Freedom Committee is the recipient of the 2013 Gerald Hodges Intellectual Freedom Chapter Relations Award.
CHICAGO - On May 1, the American Library Association and libraries around the country begin their observance of Choose Privacy Week, the annual event that invites everyone to visit their local libraries to learn more about protecting their personal privacy rights in an age of pervasive surveillance. Libraries will offer individuals the opportunity to learn, think critically and make more informed choices about their privacy by offering special resources and sponsoring programs and other special events.
CHICAGO — The Office for Intellectual Freedom has launched its new website for Choose Privacy Week, the American Library Association's (ALA) annual event that highlights the importance of personal privacy rights in an era of pervasive surveillance.
CHICAGO – In an era of "Big Data," someone is tracking your every move. Whether it's your location, your phone calls, your Facebook posts, your purchases or the websites you visit, your daily activities are monitored, recorded, collected and stored. But all too often, you can't tell by whom.
Information should go both ways or not at all. Everyone should have the right to know who's collecting their information and choose how their private data is used.

Without that trio, the Falcons will continue to force young, inexperienced players to log more minutes than they probably are ready to handle. But that's the reality for Air Force. And if the Falcons want to snap a Mountain West Conference regular-season losing streak that now -- at 20 -- is the longest in the league's history, those players will need to perform beyond their years.Four freshmen -- guard Michael Lyons, forward/center Taylor Broekhuis, guard/forward Mike Fitzgerald and guard Todd Fletcher -- played a combined 88 minutes in a 73-50 loss to New Mexico on Wednesday but contributed just 15 points on 4-of-23 shooting.
"They've got to grow up," Air Force coach Jeff Reynolds said. "Fast. And they've got to understand that, hey, it's their time. It didn't start out to be that way, but it is now their time."
NEW MEXICO 73, AIR FORCE 50: Three-point shooting was a weapon for New Mexico and a weakness for Air Force. While the Lobos drained 13 of 27 shots from behind the 3-point arc, the Falcons missed 21 of 24 en route to their 20th consecutive Mountain West Conference regular-season loss. Air Force led midway through the first half and trailed by just five early in the second. But sparked by back-to-back 3-pointers from Phillip McDonald, the Lobos went on a 19-6 run to take control.
NOTES, QUOTES --By coach Jeff Reynolds' count, Mike McLain is the sixth Air Force player to suffer a concussion this season. And he doesn't have a guess for why that many have occurred.
"Those are issues as a coach that you try to understand that it's part of the game," said Reynolds, "and you try to get your younger kids ready. With that many concussions in one year, and the year's not even over, at this point in time we're trying to focus on the kids that are available and try to put our best foot forward."
--The Falcons have been consistently poor on offense during Mountain West play, averaging 49.25 points per outing. They scored 50 against Texas Christian, 48 against Colorado State, 49 against BYU and then 50 against New Mexico.
--Air Force has lost 10 consecutive Mountain West home games over the past two seasons. The Falcons were 35-5 at home during the 2004-08 conference seasons.
ON THE SPOT: Junior G Evan Washington broke out of a slump against New Mexico. After making just 6 of 23 shots in Air Force's first three Mountain West Conference games, he made 6 of 9 shots against the Lobos. Washington scored 16 points, two more than he scored in his first three league games combined.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We had a lot of open looks, but the ball just didn't go down. Our effort was really good, but the ball just didn't go in the basket. When you shoot 22 percent (in the second half), you're not going to beat too many teams, particularly teams in the top 20." -- Air Force coach Jeff Reynolds, on his team's poor shooting during a 67-49 loss to then-No. 18 Brigham Young.
STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL SEASON RECAP: Air Force has lost seven of 10 games since its schedule started including names like Washington State and Texas-El Paso and hasn't come close to winning any of its four conference games. It hasn't helped matters that the Falcons have been hard-hit by injuries to go with a dearth of overall talent.
PLAYER ROTATION: Usual Starters -- F Tom Fow, C Mike McLain, G Michael Lyons, G Todd Fletcher, G Evan Washington. Key Subs -- F Mike Fitzgerald, C Taylor Broekhuis, G Avery Merriex, G Shawn Hempsey, F Derek Brooks, F Zach Bohannon.
GAME REVIEW: TCU 59, Air Force 50 Colorado State 70, Air Force 48 Brigham Young 67, Air Force 49 New Mexico 73, Air Force 50
GAME PREVIEW: at Utah, Saturday, Jan. 23 at UNLV, Tuesday, Jan. 26 vs. Wyoming, Saturday, Jan. 30 at San Diego State, Tuesday, Feb. 2
IN FOCUS: Defense was a hallmark of Air Force teams in recent seasons, but the Falcons have struggled to keep teams from scoring of late. On Wednesday, New Mexico put 73 on Air Force and made 13 of 27 3-point shots. The Falcons forced just nine turnovers. "I think we lost the game on the defensive end of it," Air Force coach Jeff Reynolds said. "I think sometimes when you don't make shots, young teams, they don't like to defend."
ROSTER REPORT: --Freshman G Mike Fitzgerald entered the New Mexico game as the Falcons' leading scorer in conference games (10.3 points per game). But Fitzgerald, who made a team-best 61.5 percent of his 3-pointers in Air Force's first three league contests, went 0-for-6 from behind the 3-point arc against New Mexico and was held scoreless.
--Freshman F/C Taylor Broekhuis, who had been considered questionable for the game against New Mexico with a hip injury, started and played 19 minutes. Broekhuis scored three points and grabbed four rebounds.
--Senior F Grant Parker (groin) hasn't played since early December and has been sidelined for 10 games entering the Jan. 23 game at Utah.
