Let the Twilight comparisons begin. This I think can be compared as opposed to Warm Bodies which seems much more light hearted
As it comes with any trailer or property I have my own opinions. Some of which I do share with you here on Mania. Around the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I witnessed the trailer for Beautiful Creatures for the first time and I wish it was the last. Here is the very first TV Spot from Warner Brothers. Now the film does fall into Mania's genre. However, I wanted to know what you thought of Beautiful Creatures. Obviously, it is trying to be the next Twilight, however much like Eragon it won't be the next Harry Potter. Are there fans of the book series here on Mania?
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: A supernatural love story set in the South, "Beautiful Creatures" tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena (Alice Englert), a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. Oscar(R) nominee Richard LaGravenese ("The Fisher King,""P.S. I Love You") directs from his adaptation of the first novel in the best-selling series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich ("Tetro"), newcomer Alice Englert, Academy Award(R) winner Jeremy Irons ("Reversal of Fortune") Oscar(R) nominee Viola Davis ("The Help," "Doubt"), Emmy Rossum (TV's "Shameless") and Academy Award(R) winner Emma Thompson ("Howard's End," "Sense and Sensibility").
Beautiful Creatures arrives February 13th 2013.
Let the Twilight comparisons begin. This I think can be compared as opposed to Warm Bodies which seems much more light hearted
Why is it in the post-Twilight world everyone keeps saying Oh It's The Next Twilight. Those are loaded statements and really should be discontinued. When these are created, people don't say "I Want To Rip This Off, So I Must Be Like It."
I will say this though, the marketing super geniuses see something and they're the ones that do the rip offs. I continually see copies of Romeo and Juliet, and other books, that are deliberately copying the black-red-white color scheme of the Twilight novels. Then there's the copycats of the 40 Shades of Gray that mimic their style.
There may be similarities in stories, but to say It's The Next This\That\The Other says more about the person saying it than the actual product.
Now I saw The Hobbit and I walked out on this trailer, as nature called. When I got back in it was probably half way over, and I thought I was watching a preview for the CW network. And It's true we have too much homogenization is our movies and music, that much I'll offer up as evidence.
I have no clue about this movie, no clue about the book, but if it looks interesting I'll check it out.
You don't think comparisons are apt here?
You don't think they (these creative people) do copy from others intentionally or subconciously?
And what exactly does it say about the person that says this is the next whatever? I'm curiuous
goddamn it I responded with a big ass paragraph and it didn't take
here's the gist of that (hopefully)
How do you quantify someone copying something subconsciously? You have to know you're copying it to do it. If it's subconsciously then it's like a post-hypnotic suggestion. You're doing it, but you don't know or believe you're doing it. Conscious copying is the dangerous thing, subconscious is a lot trickier.
I can't speak for the similarities as I said I left the theater to use the restroom. I've seen the book at Wal-Mart but only noticed it. I'll pick it up and look at it next time if I can remember to do so.
People always seem to say OH IT'S THE NEXT THIS OR THAT in part because they had feelings (good or bad) about the previous matter, so they've got to project those feelings onto the new matter. And those feelings will cloud what the new series is about. I come into each new book, movie, etc saying let's see what's going on here. I don't say 'I hope it's like this," or "i'm gonna be pissed if it's like that."
I also have a serious distaste for any news organization in any form that has an opinion formed within its material. Even more so when it goes out of its way to praise or damn. Just give me what I need to know, not what you think of it. I stick with Cnn's Headline News because I get the details and the outcome, not how Robin Meade wants you to think of it.
I really wish comparisons would stop, because we need to stop focusing on what it is and not what we think it is. Consider Life and Times of Igor, wise, and if it gets published or made some other way people are going to dredge up the cgi Igor movie and Hotel Transylvania because of the characters and situations. I deliberately try to avoid copying or acting like anything else, but that won't keep people from saying "oh you stole that idea."
Also, my general theory of the current world situation and such says "Everyone Reacts, But No One Thinks." Think, goddamn it. Too many people on here just react.
And we still need maelstrom back, because that man could think. And he liked Twilight. So did our fair Jarrod.
Well being that practically nothing is original nowadays I think comparisons are apt. Everyone is influenced by everything they've read, seen or heard so yeah there's a lot of copying regardless of whether or not is intentional.
Comparison is a quick way to summarize what a project may be or appears to be about. Yeah it can be taken as a negative as the case with Twilight here with most but it doesn't have to be. It doesn't cloud my judgement. You want to stop comparisons, are you innocent of this? be truthful. You're better off wishing for world peace. The moment you see a commercial, trailer or read synopsis the first thing one's mind does is search its database to see if it rings familiar
Starlight says he wants to respond but cant cause the site wont let him. Not sure what his response is, he just asked to tell u he wanted to respond.
"The next fill-in-the-blank" refers to when somebody deliberately tries to mimic something that is popular in order to "cash in" on the popular property's success.
This isn't necessarily bad. West Side Story is a deliberate update of Romeo and Juliet. They kept the plot but the 20th century update and the wonderful music make them a different experience. Both are well worth seeing and both add signifigantly to our culture.
Stargate Universe deliberately aped the style and tone of the Battlestar Galactica update becaause it was popular. It was all style but with none of the substance that BSG had. It took SGU a season and a half to start telling new and interesting stories with their borrowed style and by that time it was just too late. The audience that enjoyed the prior incarnations of Stargate were turned off by the radically different tone of SGU and BSG fans wanted some substance to go with the style and most of the audience was gone.
Twilight is very popular and made a lot of money. Why wouldn't somebody try to attract that audience by presenting material that is similar? It's completely possible to create something which is enough like Twilight to cater to the same (large) audience but at the same time have something new and interesting enough to say to be worth reading/viewing.
Of course it's easier to just blantaly rip off something popular in quest of a few quick bucks. That's the difference between art and product.
Let's try these simple words to see if I'm being stopped by a spam blocker.
okay, that took, now I have to figure out what could be stopping me.
It's happened to me too Starlight. Gets annoying, not sure why but sometimes you just can't post on a certain thread even after you already have. Ticks me off big time especially if I am trying to prove a point.
As for your arguement, I see both sides. People do and will always compare things, and yea I also hate it when I see someone compare something that I don't think fits, but then I guess I am also cmparing when I am judging their comparison. Its a two edged knife. Anyway, I do really think that hollywood and probably authors see something and think oooo I want to make a book or movie like that right now as it is big and it will make money. I think there has always been copying like that in hollywood especially. That's why it always seems like when a movie comes out that several more just like it soon follow.
But I agree with Karas, sometimes someone sees something and they are inspired and something wonderful is created, even though it might be similar to something else that already exists.

I didn't laugh too much, but this one was decent; to-do lists and cheating in school have been previous plotlines though. My DVR seems to be cutting off the chalkboard part of the intro (and I usually start it a minute early, too).

Can we assume that the character being killed isn't Edna Krabappel simply because they stated upon Marcia Wallace's death that her character's lines had already been recorded for the entire season?

Sequestration effects becoming clear for DoD
Monday - 1/28/2013, 5:31am EST
Jared Serbu, DoD reporter, Federal News Radio
As part of its planning for sequestration, the Department of Defense said it's getting rid of tens of thousands of temporary employees, and on Friday, it made clear that should the automatic budget cuts occur, the remainder of the civilian workforce would face furloughs of one day per week without pay for the rest of fiscal year 2013.
A Pentagon memo earlier this month gave defense components the go-ahead to terminate temporary hires and stop renewing term employees. Ashton Carter, the author of that memo, told Pentagon reporters on Friday that has largely happened. Forty-six thousand temporary workers have already been let go in anticipation of sequestration, a prospect that's been hanging over the government's head for a year and a half, but one that DoD's leadership apparently believes is increasingly likely.
Carter said furlough notices had not yet been issued to the department's 790,000 full-time civil servants, but DoD would have no other option if the department continues for the balance of the year without an approved budget and if sequestration takes effect. The pre-programmed cuts would reduce every program and project's approved spending by roughly 9 percent.
Operation and maintenance next worry for Pentagon
DoD's operation and maintenance accounts are what worry planners most right now. Unlike its procurement and R&D activities, which can continue to function on funds obligated in prior years, O&M dollars generally get spent right away. So to comply with the across the board cuts, DoD has to make cuts right away.
Ashton Carter, undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics
"We've got to figure out how to spend less, because we may not get an appropriations bill," Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the Chief of Naval Operations, told sailors in Norfolk, Va., on Friday. "We've been operating so far this year as if we would get a bill. We've been eating steak when maybe we should have been eating casseroles. We're going to go where the money is. We're going to look at ship and aircraft maintenance. We're going to take away projects that we'd normally do on bases. We're going to reduce non-deployed steaming."
Greenert said if sequestration kicks in on top of a full-year continuing resolution, the Navy would face an additional 4 percent shortfall in its O&M accounts.
In the Army, the impacts to O&M would be even more severe, partially because DoD has vowed to shield the overseas contingency operations (OCO) accounts that fund the war in Afghanistan and shift the budget-cutting burden elsewhere. The service acted earlier this month to freeze civilian hiring, fire temporary workers and draw up plans to cancel depot maintenance in the second half of the fiscal year.
"My numbers say the Army's going to have to take 30 percent of base budget O&M out in order to protect their share of OCO, and that 30 percent is going to have to come out essentially in the last four months of the fiscal year," said David Berteau, a senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Because by the time you lay out furlough notices and defer contracts, you really don't see any fiscal impact until about May or so."
Gordon Adams, a distinguished fellow in the Stimson Center's budgeting for foreign affairs program, said the cuts DoD is making are not surprising, but they are on-target, given the O&M cuts the department's facing.
But Adams told a CSIS forum focused on future DoD strategy and budgets that cutting civilian workforce costs and getting rid of service contractors are emergency responses and easy answers. Chipping away at the size of DoD's O&M spending beyond the immediate fiscal crisis, he said, is going to take a secretary of defense and a deputy secretary who are fiercely committed to finding efficiencies in those broad buckets of spending, which fund everything from fuel to civilian pay to military healthcare to military base landscaping, and much, much more.
Gordon Adams, distinguished fellow, Stimson Center
"O&M accounts, in my judgment, are the refuge of scoundrels," he said. "They're highly fungible dollars, and it's very hard to look at things at a programmatic level and figure out where to make tradeoffs, and therefore, in defense budgeting and planning over time, they're the place where a lot of stuff gets hidden and a lot of stuff doesn't get worked out. So while I expect sequester, if it happens, to focus on service contractors and civilian personnel, getting those real savings is going to depend on top-down management attention. They're going to have to bring the dollars down up front and force the process of efficiencies."
Under sequestration, military personnel accounts are completely exempt from cuts, and according to Todd Harrison, the senior defense budget fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, that's where DoD faces the biggest budget heartburn, at least over the long-term.
Military services' personnel budgets continue to grow
While O&M spending in DoD has been rising in recent years, it's nothing like the cost growth in the military services' personnel budget. Over the last 10 years, the cost of providing pay and benefits to uniformed service members has outstripped inflation by an average of 4.2 percent each year, Harrison said.
"If we continued allowing our personnel costs to grow at that same rate, by the year 2039, those costs would consume the entire defense budget," he said. "That obviously won't happen, so you've only got a couple other options. One is you reduce your end-strength. If you hold the military personnel share of the budget at 34 percent, where it is now, you have to reduce your end strength by another 82,000 beyond what the military already has planned. The other option is you can reduce the rate of growth in your costs. You only have to reduce the rate of growth to 1.9 percent, and all the reforms that were in the last budget request would have reduced the rate much lower than this. So this can be done."
But it wasn't done by the last Congress, which rejected almost all of DoD's proposals to rein in personnel spending in the final version of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.
While thinking about the DoD budget is rather bleak across the defense think tank world given the budget uncertainty this year, problems remain to be faced even if DoD gets its wish and Congress manages to pass a budget and completely cancel sequestration.
Given the natural tendency of cost growth in the Pentagon, DoD is almost certain to exceed the spending caps political leaders agreed to in 2011's budget control act, said Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
"Right now, we're going to need additional programmatic cuts just to comply with the $487 billion in reductions that have happened so far, because we still have a plan, a program and a force structure that's too expensive for the Budget Control Act's spending levels," he said. "We always do. It's nothing the Pentagon's doing wrong, we always have a mismatch between what's in our program and what we can afford based on our projections. Stuff always costs more than we think."

Now that we've cleared the hurdles of year-end reporting, it's time to set personal, professional, and financial goals. I'll summarize the personal and financial goals (e.g., eat healthier, exercise more, donate time and treasure to charity, and spend less) and focus more on the professional goals — specifically the goals for our department.

I looked up the term jargon and got the dictionary definition: "1. a: confused unintelligible language; b: a strange, outlandish, or barbarous language or dialect." Yup. That sounds about right.

Posted on Aug 25, 2011
Does your internal audit team have responsibility for monitoring and reporting on your company's ethics hotline? In benchmarking with my peers, it seems that about a third of the companies I talk to have some direct responsibility within internal audit to perform this task, while the rest do not. Although all would participate in investigations if calls were received regarding fraudulent employee activities, theft, or other financial matters.

Posted on Jul 21, 2011
I'm curious — how many internal audit departments are still devoting time to U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 testing? I'm guessing this is pretty routine by now. Testing starts by identifying the material accounts or processes, maybe even with a risk assumption for susceptibility to understatement (liabilities), theft (cash and receivables), or a high degree of estimation (inventory obsolescence, bad debt). The process is all very well documented, the templates are pretty, and there's nowhere near the drama of the early years, before the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 5.

Posted on Jun 27, 2011
Conventional wisdom and common practice have resulted in the development of the … drum roll please … audit universe — the starting point for internal audit plan development. The audit universe is the sandbox in which internal auditors play. It represents all things (lines of business, subsidiaries, alliances, and processes) that are considered "auditable" by internal audit teams. It is a big list, and we measure coverage against this list. Math can get a little tricky, but we forge forward nonetheless.

One of the best movie lines I've heard was from the movie The Social Network. The soon to be ex-girlfriend commented that when you write something on the Internet, you're writing in pen, not pencil. I can't tell you how many times I've used those words when nagging my teenage kids about their Facebook posts. There is a lot of material out there to gather if you want to find out about a person's life outside of work, or before they get a job offer.
continue reading...Knowledge Sharing
Posted on Apr 11, 2011
One of the best ways to improve department performance is to share ideas with companies of like size or industry. A week ago, my team attended a knowledge sharing session jointly hosted by the internal audit departments of The Coca-Cola Co., Delta Air Lines, The Home Depot, and Nike. We spent three days in Atlanta (one day spent at each of the Atlanta-based corporate headquarters) focused on sharing information about department size and structure as well as the unique aspects of each audit practice.

Posted on Mar 8, 2011
My teenage children have found a new pastime. They like to rattle off lists of everyday items that were invented after their parents were born. They find this to be hilarious. Items topping their list include cable television, cell phones, laptop computers, software, the Internet, Kindle, Xbox, CDs, and DVDs. Of course, this game is followed by a bunch of questions about how we used to live in the "good old days" — with only three network television stations and no ESPN. When I tell them that my family didn't own a color TV until I was well past grade school, they seem stunned. So much has changed.

The accounting profession has been busy. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is rewriting accounting rules related to revenue recognition, leasing, financial instruments, and insurance contracts — phew — that's a lot to tackle at once, and there's more to follow. Comment letters are flying. Companies are more engaged in monitoring FASB meetings than ever before, the accounting firms are trying to educate their clients and audit committees, and internal auditing is gearing up to perform readiness assessments — once we can figure out when to book the work.

Posted on Dec 6, 2010
I've been to a number of benchmarking sessions recently with other audit executives — both in the travel industry and from other large public companies. I always get a lot out of these sessions. A different perspective, a different approach, and general discussions about emerging risk really help me to bring new ideas and different thoughts to my team for consideration. Although our workdays are busy, I try to encourage my management team to attend these sessions as well.

Report by Kiki Georgiou on 18 February 2013.
To say that Marios Schwab is obsessed with the female body is well, rather obvious by now. From his very first collection to the one we saw last night he's been sculpting it with corsetry, mapping its contours with intricate seams, dissecting it, tattooing it and of lately, embellishing it with Swarovski crystals - a move that's turned him into a rather unexpected hit on the red carpet.

The user can summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which releases multiple black rods from its abdomen that pierce into Nagato's back. When the rods are in place, Nagato uses the statue to spew a dragon-like creature from its mouth, which removes the souls of any person it comes in contact with. After serving its purpose, the black rods break off and remain embedded in Nagato's back while the statue disappears. The technique seems to take a considerable toll on Nagato, who becomes more and more emaciated for the duration of the technique. This began the moment the black rods penetrated his body.
- As with many of Nagato's techniques, it is influenced by Buddhist terminology. Gedō (外道, Literally meaning: Outer Path), derived from the Sanskrit Tīrthika, refers to any doctrine which "treads the outer path" to enlightenment. This is opposed to the teachings of orthodox Buddhism, the Naidō (内道, Literally meaning: Inner Path), and is thus considered misguided and heretical.
- In "Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3", Obito's usage of this technique is different. Obito summons the statue which fires bolts of chakra at the opponent.

No idea. But golden rule of MP.net: if you gotta play airsoft, never go OMFG-SPECOPS.
Hello, does anybody know if the US SFG Green Berets have been using FAST ops-core helmet in the year 2010? I am reenacting Green beret's unit -> 10th SFG until year 2010 and i need to know if they used FAST helmet so i can purchase it. I've found evidences that FAST helmet was worn by US SFGs in the year 2010-->
PJ-Paramedics (http://www.americanspecialops.com/ph...n-sopmod-2.php)
DEA FAST (http://www.socnet.com/showthread.php?t=95038),
SOTF (http://www.shadowspear.com/vb/thread...s.4172/page-14)
But i didn't find any Green beret from 2010 for sure yet, just from april 2011(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/mosl...n-attacks.html) or 2012 ( http://www.americanspecialops.com/ph...p-soldiers.php).
Can somebody help me to find some evidences from 2010? Even some text info would be fine. Thank you
No idea. But golden rule of MP.net: if you gotta play airsoft, never go OMFG-SPECOPS.
Well, we have strict rules. Being SPECOPS give us oportunity for special operations and cooperation between other SFG units at our homeland, it's more professional and adventurous. Airsoft is behind us. Well back to the topic, I hope there is someone who has seen ops core helmet on the Green beret at 2010 and below.
I don't see any violation by doing common exercises in the company of our btn. Just violation making this off topic without answer what i ask for ... (no offense;-])
No reenactors are ever interested in the Army Catering Corps for some reason. It's always some special forces thing.
As stated by arrsepedia, the degree of waltity of a reenactor is directly proportional to the eliteness of the unit he is reenacting and the closeness of the time period.
You are nothing but a walt. And you can interpret all of what I said in 2 ways.
1) I'm a ****ing ***** ruining your failed childhood dream of becoming John Wayne.
2) I'm a random stranger displaying unparallel kindness by devoting my precious time trying to drag you out of the worthless piece of walting sh1t that you are and to make you less of a socially awkward nerd.

How do these compare to Crocs?
So I don't really understand the sizing... 5/6 7/8 9/10 11/12 13/1 2/3 ...but then the spec charts have listed sizes: 11, 12, 13, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 From the dawgs website: http://www.usadawgs.com/Girls-Dawgs-Spirit.html (I'm not sure those are the identical shoes, but they look similar, and usually within brands, sizing is the same) it looks like the spec chart is from the youth sizes (11-13 then 1-5), but that doesn't cover the 7/8 and 9/10 sizes, and calls into question the other sizes, which could be from both the toddler (3-10 range) or youth (11-13/1-5) range. (I'm going to guess the order list has them going in size - so 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 from toddler sizes, and the remainder in youth sizes, but I'd like confirmation before I order anything)
I've called to get clarification on the size chart. Sorry about that. UPDATE: The chart is updated to reflect the sizes shown in the drop down. Sizes go from Child 5/6 to Youth 2/3. Remember that children's shoe sizes start over after 13.
The sell these at CVS in the aisle I wait in for the pharmacy. They look pretty cheap and they do not look like they would hold up to a lot of abuse but for 9.99 it might be cheap enough to try them out.
lichme wrote:How do these compare to Crocs?
Much Cheaper, however it might also be a situation of you get what you pay for...
Our son got a pair of these under the name "Doggers" from grandma and has loved them. They look identical so I assume it's just a branding name change. Now he's outgrown them so we ordered a couple more pairs for him and one for his little sister. Pros: - Easy on/easy off - Can wear with or without socks - Much more flexible and lower profile than Crocs. He trips and falls less in these, and can run more naturally. They're like the barefoot running shoe version of Crocs. - The velcro strap over the top keeps them on. We had issues with the Crocs heel strap slipping off of little feet when the sizing wasn't perfect. Cons: - None. We thought they looked a little cheap at first, but the velcro has held up to his abuse. The bottom tread is pretty well worn, but the way toddlers and little kids grow, I'd be surprised if they fall apart before they've grown out of them.
does anyone know how they do on wet ground? i need shoes for the pool and want to know if these are a good option
I know the limit is 3 total. But how do I order more than 1 different size/color? NM..I just place 3 different orders, lol. Duh me.
Does anyone know how they run on width? My kids have wide feet, and they are fine in Crocs, but the off-brand knock-offs have been too narrow.
These are awesome! I have a pair of adult size that I also got at CVS but it was a late summer sale and now I need some for the kiddos in the next few weeks. Thanks Woot!
krhsmith wrote:does anyone know how they do on wet ground? i need shoes for the pool and want to know if these are a good option
oh yeah these are great around rocky shorelines and to wear for snorkeling so I'm sure they would be great around a pool
kpascover wrote:Does anyone know how they run on width? My kids have wide feet, and they are fine in Crocs, but the off-brand knock-offs have been too narrow.
Totally anecdotal...but they always seemed narrower than Crocs when I put them on my kid's feet. They fit him well, but ymmv.
Got a pair of dawgs fleece lined from woot the last time they were on here and my daughter loves them. Just order a couple more here ....
they run very narrow
Just got the 2 pairs of these I bought. They are clearly tagged as $9.99 being the full retail price, not the $36.00 touted in the sale. Total ripoff. Could probably have picked them somewhere else without the shipping for less than $9.99. I am angry.

Have you emailed Woot support? I received mine with a tag as well. Before I opened the bag, I saw the tag with $9.99. Then when I opened up the bag and took the shoes out of the bag, I've noticed a small orange colored price sticker said "$2.95". So I emailed woot support and their response was if I return all of them they will give me the FULL refund. Nice, huh?

Tigers look to stay hot in Ausmus' return to Houston
Verlander takes hill against Peacock; Martinez also comes back
Brad Ausmus will return to Houston for the first time as a manager of the Tigers on Friday.
Ausmus was a catcher for the Astros in 1997-98 and from 2001-08, which includes the Astros' World Series run in 2005. He was known as a defensive catcher, though he did have his moments at the plate, like when he hit a ninth-inning home run in Game 4 of the 2005 National League Division Series against the Braves to tie the game at 6. The Astros went on to win in 18 innings.
"I played there for 10 years and eight of them were in this ballpark," Ausmus said. "I certainly have a lot of baseball memories there, though I don't know many people in the organization anymore."
His first-place Tigers and their scorching offense will take on a floundering Astros team and their starter, Brad Peacock, who missed his last outing after battling food poisoning.
"It was very frustrating," Peacock said. "I felt real weak."
Peacock said he lost 10 pounds from the ordeal, though he's feeling better now. He added that the start was the second he's ever missed in his Major League career, with the first coming earlier this season.
His challenge against the Tigers will be steep, as they take a seven-game winning streak into Friday's game against the Astros. During that stretch, they scored 45 runs, including 32 in their last four games.
"There's really no break in their order," Peacock said. "I've got to be on top of my game."
He'll particularly hope to throw well against his former Houston teammate, J.D. Martinez, who the Tigers signed before this season. Martinez spent three seasons with the Astros, and had a batting average of .250 in 2013.
"To me, it's cool," Martinez said. "It's special. It's exciting just to go back and see a lot of familiar faces. There's guys there I grew up with, guys that I started out with and we grew up together playing. It's fun. I'd be lying to you in saying I don't miss them, just because I've been with them for so long."
This season, Martinez is batting .320 for the Tigers.
"I don't really like it too much," Peacock said. "Because you know the guy and you don't want to give up the hit to him."
The Astros will face Justin Verlander, who is coming off of one of his better starts this season, in which he gave up two runs in seven innings to the Indians.
Astros: Springer Dingers
On Tuesday night, George Springer belted a 441-foot home run to the Budweiser Patio at Minute Maid Park. He added another homer Thursday against the Braves.
That homer was No. 15 for Springer this season, which puts him on a record pace for an Astros rookie in a single season. Lance Berkman currently holds the Astros' rookie record with 21 home runs, which he hit in 2000. Springer's 15 home runs are the most for any Astros rookie before the All-Star break.
Tigers: J.D. Martinez streak ends
With an 0-for-4 in Thursday's game against the Rangers, Martinez had a 14-game hitting streak come to an end. Over the course of that streak, Martinez hit .411 with nine runs scored, eight doubles, six home runs and 17 RBIs. It was the longest hitting streak in Martinez's career.
Worth noting
• Houston added relief pitcher Jose Veras to its Major League roster Thursday, while outrighting Kyle Farnsworth off the active roster. Farnsworth is expected to elect free agency, rather than go to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
• The Tigers outrighted right-handed pitcher Evan Reed's contract to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
