Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals look for another all-important home win
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Back when the Arizona Cardinals won back-to-back NFC West crowns and reached Super Bowl XLII, they did so largely because of their record at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Including playoff games, the Cards won 13 of 19 games at University of Phoenix Stadium, and turned the venue into a pretty intimidating place for an opponent to play football.
Even during the down seasons the team has gone through of late, the Cardinals have remained pretty steady in Glendale. First-year coach Bruce Arians has often talked about the need to win games at home, and Sunday, in front of the team's 80th-consecutive sellout crowd, will look to improve to 4-1 in the desert this season.
"Just attack and try to protect home field advantage," defensive lineman Darnell Dockett said of the goal against the Houston Texans. "Hopefully our fans come out and really understand what we've got at stake here these next eight games, and hopefully they bring their A-game too."
The Texans come into the game with a 2-6 record, including a 1-3 mark away from Reliant Stadium in Houston. They will be starting a rookie quarterback and will be without leading rusher Arian Foster, which would seem to give the home team a bit of an edge.
However, to a man the Cardinals all seemed to wonder aloud why the Texans are struggling so badly, as when they look at the roster and watch the film a much better team shows up.
"We're focused on trying to get another win at home against a damn good football team in Houston," receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "It's a very talented group we're playing against this week.
"I don't know how they're 2-6, but you look at them on tape, you look at their personnel, they're just unbelievably talented all across the board."
That premise -- and the Cardinals themselves -- will be tested Sunday afternoon. Win, and the Cardinals improve to 5-4 on the season, with two of their next three games coming against sub-.500 teams. Lose, though, and at 4-5 they would be behind the proverbial 8-ball when it comes to the NFC playoff picture.
"We don't like to lose at home," running back Rashard Mendenhall said. "If we want to be where we want to be, it starts with winning at home and winning tough games like this."

Mannequins I Have Known
Carol had a neo-plastic emotion that glowed
like a muzzled supernova
whenever you asked a question.
I have seen her pause for hours,
her unwrinkled brow wrestling
with the inexpressible conundrums-
language and existence.
Boris was most likely a double agent,
almost human in his invisible psyche,
but hard-core fiber on the outside.
Basically homeless, splitting his time
between winters in a crowded warehouse
on the East coast,
and summers posing in front of a fun-house parlor.
(Embarrassingly, birds sometimes nested
in the top of his hat)
If Carol and Boris had ever managed to meet,
could they have found eternal happiness
in that place, where touch
and the un-sayable
become mingled together?
Somehow I doubt it, for she
was all naive mid-western cowgirl;
and he, other-worldly sophisticate.
The in-law and logistical problems alone
may well have been
He was too inflexible
in the arena of inter-personal relations,
and she was the eternal virgin;
there was no way
to intertwine their lives
into a single venue.
Life is lonely for the best of us,
but some are doomed
from the very start,
stuck in a revolving track mentality,
doomed to changeless subsistence.

Hello Chess.com members! Would you like to be involved in the "Daily Puzzle"? Well here is your chance!
We are now accepting submissions for the daily puzzle. All you have to do is message user DailyPuzzle with the puzzle position in FEN format along with the solution and the level of difficulty (easy, medium, hard).
Could you be the one to confuse the Chess.com members with the ULTIMATE puzzle?
A couple of usual rules for chess puzzles I've usually found are that you must specify if en passant is possible and you must specify if castling is possible. FEN notation takes care of this with the fileds following the position.
For example this is the FEN of the starting position... (the "-" denotes no en passant.)

True, Nxa2 isn't forced, but 2. Kxa2 is mated by 2... Ra7#. Since the puzzler doesn't 'make' white's move... you simply have to respond to the move made.
The smothered mate isn't forced, but it is a forced mate in 2.
I've got a recent one that I'm proud of. It's pretty easy, I think. Mate in 4:
thats what i get, its mate in 1. Nd6

UPDATED: It's here (Ebola)Submitted by No1ButPaul on Sat, 08/02/2014 - 12:04
Second Ebola Patient Arrives In US: Complete Ebola News Summary
Plane carrying American infected with Ebola stops in Maine
Ebola Patient Lands In Atlanta As CDC Urges Calm - Live Feed
Next time someone says electing obama was the biggest mistake this country has ever made. Remind them of this day.
BTW, funny how the MSM didn't say anything until it got here.
- Login to post comments
Dr. Kent Brantly and Dr. Nancy Writebol are heroes. I don't think we should be afraid to do everything we can to both save them and learn more about this virus.
I disagree that this is one of Obama's biggest mistakes he has ever made.
200k die from the FLU every year
I'm not worried about 53 ebola deaths. furthermore, the whole media foreshadowing thing is terribly insulting.
There's over 800 deaths this
There's over 800 deaths this year from Ebola and that number is climbing fast. But the real thing to worry about is just how quick it can spread. Especially when it's IMPORTED.
I'm suspicous
(as we all are here), that this ebola virus has been modified or has mutated to become more contagious... they prolly only brought him back to the US so they could play with the virus at the cdc. Modify it to create potential "vaccines". Then comes the WHOOPS sorry atlanta it got out, please line up single file and march into this lovely little camp we prepared for you.
So what!!!!!
So is my daily commute to work...I may die tomorrow in a car crash...like I'm going to wreck my immune system with worry about a virus.
Father - Husband - Son - Spirit - Consciousness
Ha Ha....Excellent Attitude.
If we all could only be aware that the gov, media and churches are marketing fear, hate and confusion. Man-o-man it's fun out there knowing this.
Enjoy the ride.
I can't believe the comments. THE VIRUS IS HERE BY DESIGN....Don't think for a second there is not a cure or method of keeping
the select few from contracting this virus....just sit at home and
think America is still the greatest...it isn't anymore..and I'm not.
The MSM is still strangely quiet
Considering the hoopla over H1N1, swine flu, bird flu, which were all slightly more deadly than the common cold.
No money to be made on this one I guess. Pharma lobby groups all said 'meh'.
My thoughts
I guess I have a different perspective. I wish Dr. Brantly well, and I'm glad he's back in the US.
It was all over the local Atlanta news - the entire process was covered live. Seems like it all went very well. I'm glad that Dr. Brantly's family will be able to visit him (from behind glass, of course) and I'm impressed with his unselfishness. He stayed to treat the sick in Africa despite great personal risk, and I truly hope the disease doesn't take his life.
Am I worried about Ebola spreading in the US? Of course I'm concerned, but I don't think that Dr. Brantly will be the one to spread it. It's more likely to come through our open southern border.
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

I concur. From a moral
I concur. From a moral perspective, if the guy has a greater chance of surviving by being treated in the US, he should have this chance. Though it pays to be paranoid. I certainly don't trust any government to have benign intentions. I do not suspect shenanigans yet, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.
I just found it completely eery that the person who allegedly has Ebola is being sent to Georgia. The same Georgia where these were found!
I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!

Shocking to me that some folks on the Daily Paul are so far removed from rational,logical thinking as if they strive to be in panic mode, ignoring to do research and THINKING FIRST! (Adrenaline Junkie?)
If there will be some (limited) Ebola disease in the USA it will be brought by MANY people that do NOT know they are carrying it and when they get sick and therefore become infectious, those close to them will not know... and not use gloves and surgical mask.
Remember how some people reacted to HIV patients at first?
HYPOCHONDRIA fights LIBERTY!

Ebola is spectacular...
...but makes a really lousy virus for a pandemic. It kills too quickly and obviously to really spread very far. People should be a lot more worried about multi-drug resistant TB which is being carried by some of the illegal immigrants entering our country.
But you definitely won't see the MSM making much about MDR-TB because that doesn't work well with their open borders agenda.

I can say that a lot of my friends went to the same school the doc did and it's been all over my fb feed that he was coming here for the last couple of days.
What protection exists?
Is there ready access of protection to anyone who cares to protect themselves and their loved ones from damage caused by this virus?
Is this another false flag covering up the injuries done by criminals, and therefore the needed protection is an accurate account of what is, in fact, causing the injury?
What's here?
It would be helpful to be a little more specific in the title, so people don't have to open the thread to find out. Or also so that people interested in this topic will not miss out on your thread.
Did you sprain your little clicky finger
trying to figure out what was here? Good grief.

Think bigger, better, backcountry-er.
The Men's Free Thinker Jacket is The North Face's most technically advanced jacket for backcountry skiers and snowboarders. Its fully taped, 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro shell provides guaranteed waterproof protection and windproofing, with optimized breathability for skinning and hiking. YKK AquaGuard zippers cover nearly every external opening for water-resistant protection that most ski jackets don't have, and a polyurethane coating covers the rest of the openings for extra water-resistance.
The Free Thinker features a stretchy powder skirt that connects to clip-compatible ski pants for complete coverage. Its hood slides over your helmet or cinches snugly around your beanie, and the internal cuffs work with the adjustable cuffs and hem to seal out bad weather. There are multiple pockets for hands, radios, goggles, phones, and more gear, and the phone pocket is insulated for extra protection. The Recco avalanche rescue reflector may help Recco-equipped ski patrols find you in case of an emergency.

The Freethinker has been a tried and true model for TNF for some years now and each version has been improved upon to maintain the highest quality in outerwear. It is a Gore- pro, shell with all right details to stay warm, dry, and having fun.
integrated goggle chamois, powder skirt, and phone pocket are just some of the key features, its high price tag is worth its quality.

Great jacket, but a little bit pricey!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I have used this jacket twice this season, and although I thought a lot of the items associated with this jacket were "gimekey" it turns out that many things you will use. Firstly, the amount of pockets you have is great and is certainly enough to store all items needed. The left front pocket even has a band that fits the iPhone 6 plue perfectly and will hold it in place even when performing jumps. The waterproofing is amazing. This is my first Gortex item and to test I even went in the shower with it. Not a drop on me after. The goggle cleaner in the sleeve is a nice touch and is much needed not just for goggles but GoPro cleaning was greatly appreciated. The fit is fairly true, but one thing I notice with The North Face is that the sleeves will run shorter, but this jacket seems to work ok. I layered underneath and the sleeves still worked out to be perfect. This is to be considered a great shell, but not a jacket for warmth, so remember to layer! The reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the pricing. Yes $600 is a lot of money, and I was comparing this to the Burton AK 3L which runs the same price. If you shop around, Back Country sometimes does some deals especially around the black friday time. Overall the jacket has been great and I really like it. Try on the AK 3L from Burton and you will be able to judge what feels better on you. If you are looking for a lightweight shell that out performs most jackets, this is the one!

Does anyone have any experience with this jacket in colder weather, in the -20 to -30 deg. C range? I wanted to use this jacket for alpine skiing and sledding but wasn't sure how warm it would keep me with moderate to high activity on the cold days. I'd prefer not to have too many layers underneath to keep me warm. Thanks!
Spencer Oliphant
This jacket is meant to be used for layering. It is just a shell. The jacket is not insulated and will not keep you warm in any cold weather by itself.

Hey, MONI! Check out this Astoria Bridge picture

Hi Kat! I'm obviously not Moni, but I'm going to assume that's the Astoria, OR bridge...located in our (hopefully) future home of Oregon.

Much more beautiful than over here in CA (IMO), although we do have some stunning coastlines, too. Lucky you to be able to see that everyday! Well... Maybe not the truck tipping over, just the beauty and ruggedness of the area. :)
Hi Kat
All I can say, nothing bothered me, while I was riding across. I was so sick... and needed to be in a bed. It is a very long bridge, with a nasty uphill just before you get to Astoria.
Here is a link that might be useful: Moni's story about the day she crossed that bridge!
Yes, Shed, it is the Holiday Inn Express & that was our view with the Astoria River Walk right outside the window. We were on our Lewis & Clark journey & Astoria is the area where L&C spent the winter of 1805 before making their return to St Louis, MO. It's a beautiful area.
This is going to sound silly, but I remember watching "The Goonies" as a kid and thinking how cool it would be to live where it was filmed. Years later I saw parts of "Kindergarten Cop", even though I'm no fan of Schwarzenegger, and fell in love with the area. Imagine my surprise when I found a website listing both having been filmed in Astoria! That's when I fell in love with the area and after a few road trips, we have decided that when it's time for us to retire, that's where we'd like to move.
We'll definitely have to stay at that Holiday Inn, Bee. Thanks for the tip!!

local pest pressure up this year
I just came back in from thinning some of the apple trees...pretty grim. The PC damage was severe, coupled with the low set/frost damage it will be a very light crop.
For the last 3 years I have had pretty good control using Surround. But this year we had a long stretch with lots of heavy rains after petal fall and keeping adequate coverage was not possible. I think that in combination with the earlier warm weather lined me up for trouble.
OFM also seems to be especially bad. They have been getting progressively worse for me the last few years, so perhaps I am just seeing classic exponential growth taking off. But I have been doing a great deal of shoot pruning for the last 3-4 weeks and every time I walk the grounds I find more damage...I need some new/additional strategy for this pest I think.
At least the leaf rollers seem to be in check...but it's a bit early to be confident on that.
On a side note, aphids:
these have always been an issue in the black currants during early growth, long before I see them anywhere else. We have reached over-production on them so I just let it go this year...they got crazy bad but the ladybugs came in right behind them in numbers I have never seen before around here. And I haven't seen any aphids anywhere else since then (they usualy appear in the younger apples by now)
small win, intersting but not much consolation.
There is a chainsaw in store for at least one of my apples coming this fall. These disease ridden, bug ridden trees are the worst in my yard. I have a 5 gallon bucket half full with dropped apples, almost all of which have multiple egg laying scars (PC)...Some have as many as 10 hits. Apples are cheap and plentiful in this area, so no sense in my growing them too. I do plan on keeping at least 1 Honeycrisp.
Rob, for OFM consider mating disruption and spinosad.
For mating disruption you need at least 1/4 acre or so of trees getting infested. It cuts down on the matings so cuts down on eggs and worms.
Spinosad you spray on all the tips right when you see the first drooping tip and keep it up for two weeks (it wears off in 5-7 days or in a big rain). I pretty much eliminated all my OFM this spring, I saw two wilted shoots and I sprayed and then I found only one wilting shoot / live OFM in the month since that. Later in the season you spray the fruits but I think I got the first generation so strongly that I may not need to spray any more spinosad this year.
I do the same trick on CM except use the codling moth granulosis virus and always spray the fruits. This year I was late on the granulosis so I had more CM than I should have. And again use mating disruption if you can.
Surround for PC is always hit and miss. I did OK this year, maybe a bit better overall than in past years.
Frank, apples and apple trees hold such a special place in my heart I have to keep them. When I see the pricing on some of the good local fruit it's tempting to give up on my own, but I would probably just let most of the trees go feral before I cut them down.
Scott, I had been meaning to attempt mating disruption this year but just did not get my act together, use in combination with spinosad is good to know. I have been looking into spinosad for gooseberry sawfly as well (the red currants and gooseberies have been hammered 2 years running).
I have not seen damage to fruit from OFM years past, just lots of shoot injury. when pruning this year I was surprised at how much scarring I could see in 3-4 year old wood that I now recognize as "light" OFM spring injury.
We have always been lucky and coddling moth as a non-major concern...surprising considering the number of feral trees around us. We leave no drops, but I would have thought more would migrate in. I will take lucky while it lasts.
ltilton, fortunately birds are also rarely a significant pest for us. We have had nesting hawks a stones throw from the orchard 4 years running now and I think that helps. But also have a lot of stone fruit that should begin bearing soon, and that may change things. I really don't want to have to start dealing with netting trees.

Went for the Thanksgiving weekend to unwind a bit and get away from the big city mayhem. The room was exactly as described and the view was worth every penny with the gas fireplace to create a cozy atmosphere. The room was clean, and looked recently updated with hardwood floors and tile in the bathroom and entrance. We stayed in a queen/twin room with a water view and for a family of three it was perfect! The town of Kennebunkport was just as we remembered it, with the cute New England charm and friendly townsfolk.
Had some drinks at the Nonantum's Hickmans Pub and ate some dinner there and we must say it was cooked to perfection and was one of our highlighted meals of the trip. We are real food lovers so this says something for their kitchen! They were even kind enough to make something special for our son that was not on the menu to take back to the room so he could eat something. Great service! We would definitely return and highly recommend to anyone looking for a year round resort.

Ceramic tile counters in the kitchen
Does anyone have ceramic tile counters, in their kitchen? Are they vintage style? Do you like them?
I'm thinking about putting in ceramic tile counters with backsplash for the perimeter countertops and wood for the island...maybe with an inset of marble for a baking area.
Thanks in advance...and if you have any pictures, that would be wonderful :)
Also be ready to always set glasses and plates down gently, particularly fragile wine glasses. When I bought a house 25 years ago, the builder was going to put tile counters in the kitchen. I said no and got Corian instead. Tile is a very hard surface and I've never liked it as a counter top in the kitchen. When I redo my current kitchen I'm going for a wooden counter on the perimeter and a copper one on the island and in the butler's pantry.
my house had tile on the counters when I bought it. I broke a ton of glasses (and Im really a gentle glass and dishes kind of person) and the grout cleaning was nightmareish. replaced with hi-end formica in granite pattern and love it.
If you get tile, set them very close so the grout lines are thin. then glasses wont be as likely to wobble or topple and they may be easier to maintain.
I grew up with nothing but tile. I thought it was normal!
Let me show you what NOT to do, along with some besureyoudothises.
Inset sink, drip edge--you want these. These are one reason tile is so wonderful. (Big old farm sink is acceptable too, but that drip edge is priceless elsewhere. It keeps eggs from wandering too far, for example.) If you do an inset sink, see about getting the counter ever so slightly tilted so water drains into the sink.
But don't have nubbly tile. Get flat stuff, even if you go handmade on the backsplash. Don't have big grout lines. ANd don't let it get this icky. (See how the grout on the wall is a different color than the stuff by the sink?)
I love the 40s-50s tile schemes, and with your style, you can come up with something perfect. Like, say, BLUE, with a fabulous backsplash.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Thank you for the responses. I think a narrow grout line in a darker color is a great idea. I'd like to get a sink like this, but with two bowls...if possible :)
Fori- Beautiful color...and I'm thinking about a shade of blue or green, to go with my backsplash tile. This is a great color...or maybe a little more green or a french blue. Here's my backsplash tile inspiration with these colors and a branch/vine style...bunnies optional LOL
check out kmickleson's kitchen in the finished kitchen slideshow:
I have tile "landing pads" on either side of my stove. i would never have thought of doing it but I enjoy them. It is just 10 4 x 4 bathroom tiles on either side, somehow attached to the formica and grouted. I spray the grout with a mild bleach/water solution once in a while; no problems. My kitchen is 50 years old and it is a testament to the practicality of the people back then that it is still going strong. It is not ideal for us, but it is very functional.
actually now I notice there is a category page on the finished kitchens blog. You can filter by various things like countertops. here is the filter for tile countertops:
gotta love starpooh!
Here is a link that might be useful: link to the categories list page
We did a ceramic tile countertop in our last vacation house and I loved it. We used the Laticrete grout from Lowes with a stain resistant additive. It works!
My DH spilled tea one morning before heading out around 5 am to go fishing. I found it around 8 am. Cleaned it up and had no stains.
I was working on our inkjet printer getting an error on the cartridges. Gave up and brought another printer up 2 weeks later. When I picked up the old one there was magenta ink spill all over the counter under the printer. I was scared to death. But the dried ink all wiped away with no ill effects.
Getting ready to do another kitchen and yes we are doing a porcelain tile countertop and backsplash.
Yup. Here's a photo that includes the whole kitchen but shows the tile. The cabinet panels are temporary while we figure out a new wall colour and maybe cabinet colour, so pardon the colour scheme.
We laid the tile and it is laid flat enough (and maybe the tile itself is flat enough) that glasses do not wobble appreciably - no breaks other than when something gets dropped right on it. Even with kids, and my kids grew up with this kitchen.
As for maintenance... this kitchen is now 20 years old and it has WORKED - see remark about kids, above. And also, after I took the photo I realized it shows dark spots on the drawers from where I push them shut... definitely time for an overhaul!! But they're honestly not as noticeable in real life :-)
So I can tell you that the grout lines are indeed the weak link in the formula. Worst is definitely around the sink, and also where I do the majority of food prep. Where the counter has mostly stayed dry the grout is absolutely fine (it's blue plus painted with blue sealer). But where it regularly got wet and stayed that way for too long, the grout is literally worn away; we can see the spacers. We did re-grout one section with some success.
If I could do anything differently I would go back and just wipe the counter dry twice as often (not my strong point). Sink is overlayed and again, something you just have to wipe regularly, more often than I did which should not be hard. That's just caulk (probably latex) you can see from this angle.
I love having the bullnose at the edge. But if you look closely at the corner near the front of the photo, you can see a chip where I banged against it with a milk bottle. DARN. Lesson: the tile itself is also fragile, and even the field tiles can break with a severe impact, say if a jug falls out of a cupboard.
Four and a half years ago, we tore out our kitchen and dining area clean to the dirt in the cellar below and put it back together again. It was the perfect opportunity to do it exactly as I wanted it and modify the floor plan to improve the traffic flow and then decided what materials and appliance I wanted. Yes, we put in tile counters on one sink and the large island and at first I thought 'uh oh' what did I do? It's been in long enough now it has had a chance to prove itself, and every morning when I get up and come into my kitchen, I fall in love with it all over again. I clean grout occasionally and it spiffs up like brand new and has shown absolutely no wear whatever. No, I've never broken a glass on it. LOL.
Have 'em. Hate 'em. Grout is perpetually dirty unless I scrub and scrub with purple cleaner, or pour full-strength bleach on the counter (yuck). Even then, it's dirty again in a week.
They're utterly unforgiving. Any cup or glass dropped on them, or sometimes even just tipped over on them, is a goner.
PO put them in. I would NEVER. I'd rather have generic big-box store Formica.
Thanks, Powermuffin! Calliope, what you say is so true, and whether our counters are everyone's taste or not, there is something about tile that goes beyond being serviceable, and actively gives pleasure. Maybe it's like having an artwork on your counter. Or something about the fact that the tile has a pattern and a frame.
I think perpetually dirty grout may be a function of grout that's a bad colour for a kitchen? We chose blue for a reason beyond aesthetics. Or is the grout sealed, DavidR?
This variety of breakage experience is just weird to me. I'm no more careful than the average person, in fact probably less so, be we do not have much breakage - I can't think of anything that's tipped at all much less tipped and broken. My sink, now that's unforgiving. But the counter, no.
KarinL - Your counter is gorgeous and perfectly shows why ceramic tile is my favorite. It looks rich and the variety of possible designs and color combinations are endless.
Yes, for me the grout has been a sometime problem. After sixteen years of use, we should have it replaced and sealed with a more modern sealer. But I have never broken anything on it! And if we ever get a new counter, it will also be ceramic tile.
I'm still thinking about ceramic tile on the L-shaped perimeter of the kitchen. I'd like to do the blue, so I'm thinking about a little darker grout...but the backsplash is going to be white, with white grout.
Here's the bunny tiles I like... From Lavender Lass farmhouse pictures
And I was going to use the blue arborite, but it's been discontinued...so I'm back to tile :)
And I've always liked Laura Calder's kitchen! The blue tiles are gorgeous, but I can't decide if I want dark blue or more of a french blue. From Lavender Lass farmhouse pictures
My other question...I won't have the big windows (but I would like to have plants/herbs on the ledge and hanging in the pass through) and I'm wondering...should I bring the blue up to the bottom of the pass through? Maybe carry that around the other side, with the white backsplash tile, above? What do you think?
Here's the kitchen plan...with butcher block on the island, marble in the baking area (other side of pass through) and stainless steel around the sink/pantry area. I like lots of finishes, for a more unfitted look...and I'm planning to do a bit of a vintage style. We have an old sink with drainboards, for the pantry area and I'd love to find something like Laura Calder's sink for the main kitchen!
So...any other suggestions, ideas, recommendations? Thanks in advance :)

One of the biggest complaints I had with Gareth Edwards 2010 film Monsters was the lack of actual monsters. I didn't blame Edwards at all – like most indie projects it was put together on a shoestring budget. When I heard Edwards signed on to direct Godzilla – a movie about one of pop culture's […] [Read More]

Trailer: Let's Be Cops
The trailer for the green band new comedy Let's Be Cops is up. I didn't even need to know the synopsis – they had me at Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson pretend to be cops. The film also stars Andy Garcia, James D'Arcy, Rob Riggle, and Nina Dobrev. Check out the trailer below and […] [Read More]
The Fourth Annual "Comedy of Horrors" Film Festival
Last year I was invited to attend the "Comedy of Horrors" film festival and had an amazing time. I watched three feature films and a bunch of shorts that ranged from morbidly creepy to hilariously funny. It's not only one of the city's most unique festivals, the festival's hosts create such a great environment, it's […] [Read More]
Review: The Raid 2
In April 2011 I sat in a theater and watched a movie I knew nothing about. That movie was Indonesian martial arts thriller named The Raid: Redemption. It absolutely blew my mind. I'd never seen wall-to-wall action like that in cinema before. When I finished picking up my jaw, all I could do was urge […] [Read More]

Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
You know what's difficult in Hollywood? Making a good sequel. You know what's even harder? Making a good comic book sequel. Even Marvel's massive cinematic universe couldn't hide the disappointed grumblings after the release of 2013's Thor 2: The Dark World and Iron Man 3. That brings us to Marvel's latest film Captain America: The […] [Read More]
Review: Sabotage
A small cameo in 2010's The Expendables suggested Arnold Schwarzenegger was only dipping his toes in the action movie waters. Four years later, Arnold is back and fully submerged in action films – the genre that made him a household name. His latest film, Sabatoge, is reminiscent of the action movies that helped make him […] [Read More]
Edge of Tomorrow – Trailer #2
Edge of Tomorrow has all the makings of a Tom Cruise summer hit. This Groundhog Day/Independence Day mash-up is the perfect film to get Tom back in his box-office bonanza lane. This trailer shows a little more action but more importantly what Cruise and Emily Blunt are off too when they leave the battlefield. The […] [Read More]
X-Men Days of Future Past Trailer #2
We finally get our first full look at X-Men Days of Future Past. The action packed trailer speaks for itself. There's flying Sentinels, a futuristic wasteland, some bad 70′s hair, a stadium crumbling, and enough explosions to make Michael Bay blush. Here's what caught my eye: 0:25 – Looks like Storm is getting taken out […] [Read More]

Jagr's going to be back next game. I think the Devils are trying to make room for Mike Sislo - he did get 15 minutes last night, after all - and seeing if anyone takes a flyer on Brunner is the first step to that.
I don't think at his salary that he will be claimed.
