Office Space is a 1999 American comedy film satirizing work life in a typical 1990s software company. Written and directed by Mike Judge, it focuses on a handful of individuals fed up with their jobs portrayed by Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Gary Cole, David Herman, Ajay Naidu, and Diedrich Bader.
The film's sympathetic depiction of ordinary IT workers garnered a cult following within that field, but also addresses themes familiar to white collar employees in general.
Shot in Las Colinas and Austin, Texas, Office Space is based on Judge's Milton cartoon series. It was his first foray into live action film and second full length motion picture release.
The promotional campaign for Office Space featured the familiar Beavis and Butt-head tagline 'Work Sucks', reinforcing Judge's debut in the animated Beavis and Butt-head Do America.
While not a box office success, the film sold well on DVD and VHS.[4]

Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) is a disgruntled programmer at Initech, a software company plagued by bureaucracy and excessive management. He spends his days "staring at his desk" instead of reprogramming bank software to be Y2K-compliant. His co-workers include Samir Nagheenanajar (Ajay Naidu), who is annoyed by the fact that nobody can pronounce his last name correctly; Michael Bolton (David Herman), who loathes having the same name as the famous singer, whom he hates; and Milton Waddams (Stephen Root), a meek, fixated collator who constantly mumbles to himself (most notably about his workmates' borrowing his favorite red Swingline stapler and about his plan or threat to set the workplace on fire). Milton had actually been laid off years earlier, but due to a human-resources miscommunication, he was never informed, and due to a payroll computer glitch, he has continued to receive regular paychecks. All four are repeatedly bullied and harassed by management, especially Initech's smarmy, callous vice president, Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole). The staff are further agitated by the arrival of two consultants, Bob Slydell (John C. McGinley) and Bob Porter (Paul Willson), who are brought in to help with cutting expenses, mainly through downsizing.
Peter is depressed, bored, and pushed around at work. He attends an 'occupational hypnotherapy' session urged by his girlfriend, Anne. The obese hypnotherapist, Dr. Swanson (Mike McShane), suddenly dies of a heart attack before he can snap Peter out of a state of complete relaxation. The newly relaxed and still half-hypnotized Peter wakes up the next morning and ignores continued calls from Anne (who angrily leaves him, confirming his friends' suspicions of her infidelity) and Lumbergh (who was expecting Peter to work over the weekend). Peter announces that he will simply not go to work anymore, instead pursuing his lifelong dream of "doing nothing." However, he changes his mind and makes an appearance at work, and at his lunch hour, asks out Joanna (Jennifer Aniston), a waitress who shares Peter's loathing of idiotic management and love of the television program Kung Fu. Joanna works at Chotchkie's, a restaurant that plays on T.G.I. Friday's interior decoration and uniform standards (Joanna's frustration with her occupation eventually culminates in an argument with her boss and her dismissal after she gives him the finger in front of some customers).
Peter begins removing items at work that annoy him (a door handle that had shocked him on previous occasions, corporate slogan banners, a wall of his cubicle that blocks his view) and finally he parks in Lumbergh's reserved parking spot. Despite Peter's poor attendance record, laziness and insubordination, he is promoted by the consultants because of the positive impression he makes on them with his bluntness about the office's problems (specifically the overabundance of management).
Meanwhile, Michael and Samir are downsized. To exact revenge on Initech, the three friends, inspired by Richard Pryor's character from Superman III, decide to infect the accounting system with a computer virus, designed to divert fractions of pennies into a bank account they control. They believe the scheme to be foolproof because they think that over a long period of time they will be able to accumulate a substantial amount of money in units so small (mills) that companies generally don't bother keeping track of them. On their last day at Initech, Peter also steals a parting gift from the office: a frequently-malfunctioning laser printer, which the three beat to pieces in a field.
A misplaced decimal point causes the virus to steal over $300,000 in the first few days, a far more conspicuous loss to Initech. After a crisis of conscience and a discussion with Joanna, Peter writes a letter in which he takes all the blame for the crime, then slips an envelope containing the letter and the money (in unsigned traveler's checks) under the door of Lumbergh's office late at night. He fully expects to be arrested the next morning when he comes in to work, but his problem solves itself: before Peter arrives, Milton—having been deprived of his cherished red Swingline stapler by Lumbergh, increasingly ignored by management, forced to move to the cockroach-infested basement, and having had his paychecks finally cut off—enters Lumbergh's office to discuss the matter, whereupon he finds the traveler's checks under the door. He snaps, takes the traveler's checks, and proceeds to follow through on his numerous (if barely audible) warnings that he could set fire to the Initech office building. As Peter nears the Initech building, he can see that it is fully engulfed in flames and realizes that all evidence of the missing money must have been destroyed.
Peter finally finds a job that he likes: doing construction work with his next-door neighbor, Lawrence (Diedrich Bader). As the two of them are helping clean up debris from the fire, Samir and Michael visit Peter and offer to recommend him for a job at Initech rival Intertrode, where they have gotten new jobs. He declines, expressing new-found contentment with his place in life. After Samir and Michael leave, Peter discovers Milton's stapler among the wreckage and saves it, saying, "I think I know someone who might want this."
The last scene reveals the fate of the missing money; Milton is seen lounging on the beach at a Caribbean resort, mumbling complaints about his beverage.
Artie Lange auditioned for the role of Milton.[5] He describes his audition as being so bad it was "like a plumber who won a radio contest and got to try out for a movie".
Filmed primarily in Austin, Texas, the origins for Office Space lie in a series of four animated short films about an office drone named Milton that Mike Judge created, which first aired on Liquid Television and Night After Night with Allan Havey, and later aired on Saturday Night Live.[6] The inspiration came from a temp job he once had that involved alphabetizing purchase orders[7] and a job he had as an engineer for three months in the Bay Area during the 1980s, "just in the heart of Silicon Valley and in the middle of that overachiever yuppie thing, it was just awful".[8] The setting of the film reflected a prevailing trend that Judge observed in the United States. "It seems like every city now has these identical office parks with identical adjoining chain restaurants", he said in an interview.[6] He remembers, "There were a lot of people who wanted me to set this movie in Wall Street, or like the movie Brazil, but I wanted it very unglamorous, the kind of bleak work situation like I was in".[7]
Judge sold the film to 20th Century Fox based on his script and a cast that included Jennifer Aniston, Ron Livingston, and David Herman.[6] Originally, the studio wanted to make a movie out of the Milton character but Judge was not interested, opting instead to make more of an ensemble cast–based film.[8] The studio suggested he make a movie like Car Wash but "just set in an office".[8] Judge made the relatively painless transition from animation to live-action with the help of the film's director of photography who taught him about lenses and where to put the camera. Judge says, "I had a great crew, and it's good going into it not pretending you're an expert".[7] Studio executives were not happy with the footage Judge was getting. He remembers them telling him, "More energy! More energy! We gotta reshoot it! You're failing! You're failing!"[9] In addition, Fox did not like the gangsta rap music used in the film until a focus group approved of it. Judge hated the ending and felt that a complete rewrite of the third act was necessary.[9]
Judge also hated the poster that the studio created for Office Space. He said, "People were like, 'What is this? A big bird? A mummy? A beekeeper?' And the tagline 'Work Sucks'? It looked like an Office Depot ad. I just hated it. I hated the trailers, too and the TV ads especially".[9] Fox Filmed Entertainment chairman Tom Rothman conceded that the marketing campaign did not work and said, "Office Space isn't like American Pie. It doesn't have the kind of jokes you put in a 15-second television spot of somebody getting hit on the head with a frying pan. It's sly. And let me tell you, sly is hard to sell".[9]
Office Space was released on February 19, 1999 in 1,740 theatres, grossing USD$4,231,727 on its opening weekend. It went on to make $10,827,810 in North America.[10] On the Monday after the opening weekend, Judge received a phone call from Jim Carrey's agent. The comedian loved the film and wanted to meet him. Chris Rock called two weeks later.[9]
The film received positive reviews[9] with an 80% "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 68 metascore on Metacritic. In his review in The New York Times, Stephen Holden wrote, "It has the loose-jointed feel of a bunch of sketches packed together into a narrative that doesn't gather much momentum."[11] Roger Ebert gave the film three out of four stars and wrote that Judge "treats his characters a little like cartoon creatures. That works. Nuances of behavior are not necessary, because in the cubicle world every personality trait is magnified, and the captives stagger forth like grotesques".[12] In his review for the San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle writes, "Livingston is nicely cast as Peter, a young guy whose imagination and capacity for happiness are the very things making him miserable."[13] In the USA Today, Susan Wloszczyna wrote, "If you've ever had a job, you'll be amused by this paean to peons."[14]
However, Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly gave the film a "C" rating and criticized it for feeling "cramped and underimagined".[15] In his review for the Globe and Mail, Rick Groen wrote, "Perhaps his TV background makes him unaccustomed to the demands of a feature-length script (the ending seems almost panicky in its abruptness), or maybe he just succumbs to the lure of the easy yuk...what began as discomfiting satire soon devolves into silly farce."[16]
In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named Office Space one of "The 100 best films from 1983 to 2008", ranking it at #73.[17]
Office Space has become a cult classic, selling very well on home video.[18] As of 2003, it had sold 2.6 million copies on VHS and DVD.[19] In the same year, it was in the top 20 best-selling Fox DVDs along with There's Something About Mary.[20] The movie is also available on Blu-ray Disc.
Comedy Central premiered Office Space on August 5, 2001 and 1.4 million viewers tuned in. By 2003, the channel had broadcast the film another 35 times.[20] These broadcasts helped develop the film's cult following and Ron Livingston remembers being approached by college students and office workers. He said, "I get a lot of people who say, 'I quit my job because of you.' That's kind of a heavy load to carry".[20] People approached Stephen Root asking him to sign their staplers. The Red Swingline stapler featured prominently in the film was not available until April 2002 when the company released it in response to repeated requests by fans of Office Space. Its appearance in the film was achieved by taking a standard Swingline stapler and spray-painting it red. [20] Entertainment Weekly ranked it fifth on its list "25 Great Comedies From the Past 25 Years", despite having originally given the film a poor review.[21] On February 8, 2009, a reunion of the cast (featuring all cast members apart from Livingston and Aniston) took place at the Paramount Theatre in Austin to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the movie, which included the destruction of a printer on the sidewalk.[22]
In 2006, Blizzard Entertainment used the scene from Office Space where Peter was about to have a meeting with "The Bobs" and Bill Lumbergh walks up to his desk, as a commercial for their MMO video game World of Warcraft.[23]
RockYou created an app on Facebook which allows users to create, share, and show "pieces of flair" -- buttons with different pictures and captions, a reference to the buttons worn by wait staff at Chotchkies in the film.
Foursquare created a "9 to 5" badge for users who check-in in an office building at least 15 days out of 30. When a user unlocks this badge, a quote referencing Office Space appears: "Looks like someone's filed 15 TPS reports in 30 days. Ummm... Yeeaahh... we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into Storage B."
The scene where Peter, Michael and Samir destroy a printer is reproduced in identical form in the animated series Family Guy [Season 7, Episode 2, "I Dream of Jesus"].[24]
In 2011, Gary Cole played a Bill Lumbergh-esque character for a State Farm Insurance commercial.
The MMO Guild Wars has a dungeon that references the film, including a red asuraline staff, a TPS regulator Golem, and a character that repeatedly threatens to burn the lab down.

Panthers Rally Past Pioneers |
Written by Mike Kelly | ||||
Wednesday, 15 January 2014 09:53 | ||||
Never awaken a sleeping giant. The Watauga High girl's basketball team found that out the hard way Tuesday night in a 61-47 loss against Patton in Morganton, N.C.
Sophomore Lindsey Adams of the Panthers, who was saddled with foul trouble in the first half, awoke from her deep slumber and erupted for 19 second-half points as the Panthers wiped out a nine-point, third-quarter deficit. Trailing 34-25 with 5:39 left in the third period, the Panthers went on a 17-3 run and grabbed a 41-37 lead with 19 seconds left in the stanza. Adams ignited the run by scoring ten points during that stretch. "I'm disappointed with the loss," said WHS coach Klay Anderson. "But what really bothers me is that we were outplayed in the second half. (Patton) just played harder than us, especially in the latter stage of the third quarter and to start the fourth quarter. We went into a lull and they just took it away from us." The Pioneers (5-10 overall; 3-2 Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) never got any closer than 42-41 on a bucket by Ryan Loflin with 6:11 left to play. But the Panthers (6-8; 2-3) put together a 9-2 run and opened up a ten-point lead at 53-43 with 3:34 to go. A three ball by Taylor Chapman, a trey by Adams and a trifecta by Malarie Tallent ignited that backbreaking run. The loss drops WHS into a third-place tie with South Caldwell in the NW3A/4A Conference standings; the Panthers, who are tied with St. stephens for fifth place, are just one game out of third. "We did things in the first half that we've been trying to do all year," Anderson said. "We established our post play. Now we didn't score a lot of points, but we were getting production in there. I was real pleased with our performance, especially on defense. We mixed up our zone, and we really made (Adams) uncomfortable. But to their credit, (Patton) stayed with their game plan and they just made more shots in the second half than we did." The Pioneers led for the majority of the first half. An 8-0 run just before halftime gave WHS a 25-16 lead with 51 seconds left in the second quarter. But the Panthers chipped away and cut the lead to four at the break. "We did not do a good enough job as a team in the second half," Anderson said. "Everyone knows who our best player is, it's Savanna (Wood). But she can't do it all by herself. We just couldn't get it clicking offensively. I'm proud of our effort, but Lindsay Adams just lifted her team. She made some big shots, and they found her on the offensive end. It's a tough loss, and it doesn't get any easier." The Pioneers have a tough stretch coming up as the Pioneers play Hickory (Friday), South Caldwell (next Tuesday) and St. Stephens (next Friday) in their next three games. "We just have to focus on the next one, and that's Hickory," Anderson said. "We can't be in awe of them. We just have to come out, limit our turnovers, and play our game. That's all we can do right now." Wood led the Pioneers with 15 points; Loflin, who fouled out with 22 seconds left in the game, finished with 12 points; Brooklin Carroll had seven. Chapman and Tallent had ten points apiece for the Panthers. The Pioneers return home to play Hickory Friday night. The Red Tornadoes (12-0; 5-0), who defeated Fred T. Foard 84-27 Tuesday night, are currently sitting in first place with a one-game lead on second-place Freedom. Coverage begins at 6:05 p.m. on AM 1450, WATA and GoBlueridge.net. PATTON 61, WATAUGA 47 SCORE BY PERIODS 1 2 3 4 TOTAL WATAUGA HIGH 9 17 13 8 - 47 PATTON HIGH 9 13 19 20 - 61 WHS: WOOD 15, JERRICK 4, CARROLL 7, LOFLIN 12, McNEILL 4, BROWN 2, STAPLETON 2, JONES 1.

WHS BOYS 59, PATTON 53 The Watuaga High boy's basketball team picked up a huge win on the road Tuesday night. The Pioneers (11-4 overall; 2-3 Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) knocked off Patton 59-53 in Morganton, N.C. The win moves WHS back into contention in the NW3A/4A Conference race. The Pioneers find themselves in a three-way tie with Hibriten and Fred T. Foard for fourth place, just one game out of second place. The loss leaves Patton (9-4; 3-2) in a three-way tie for second place with Hickory and St. Stephens. "I believe it's going to be like this all year," WHS coach Rob Sanders said in an exhausted tone. "This league is so balanced. Anyone is capable of beating anybody on any given night. That's why you need to be prepared every time you take the floor in this league. If you're not, you're in for a long night." The Pioneers were certainly prepared Tuesday night. After falling behind 2-0 and 4-3 early in the game, the Pioneers, thanks to Cameron Baker and Jay Harrill, put together an 8-0 run and led 11-4. The Pioneers never trailed again. But the Pioneers had their anxious moments. They built an 11-point lead (their largest margin of the game) in the second quarter only to see the Panthers trim that lead to five points at the intermission. "I told the guys at halftime, 'look at Michael Ebaugh,'" Sanders said. "He's seen limited time this year, but when we got in foul trouble, he came in and he was all over the floor, diving after loose balls, taking a charge, grabbing rebounds. He poured his heart out in the first half. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have had that halftime lead." The Pioneers got into foul trouble, aiding Patton's comeback bid. Baker, Harrill and Matt Lambert were all planted on the bench with two fouls apiece in the second quarter when the Panthers made their run late in the first half. But those strong rallies by the Panthers became the norm for the rest of the game. The Panthers got within three late in the third quarter at 39-36, and they crept within two at 48-46 with 5:32 left in the game. But the Pioneers staved them off with a pair of runs. WHS closed out the third quarter with a 7-0 run for a 46-36 lead going into the final stanza. Baker paced that run by scoring five points. The Pioneers followed that up with a six-point run following a time out in the fourth quarter that gave them a 54-46 lead with less then 2:30 to play. Lambert capped off the run with a stick back underneath. "We knew (Patton) were going to come at us with pressure," Sanders said. "We made some big turnovers and we didn't rebound the basketball well. It was just a simple case of making better decisions. I told them, "play like you have a lead.' We just had to make the easy pass, create the easy shot. But we started forcing things, and it played right into their hands." "We started playing not to lose," said WHS junior Utah Jones. "We started watching the clock, and stopped playing aggressive. We had to stop making turnovers, rebound and make our shots. Coach told us to relax during that time out in the fourth quarter. He just told us to calm down, pass the ball quick, and be patient for the good shot." Jones came off the bench and poured in 12 points. The Pioneers had three players in double figures. Baker led the way with 14 points; Harrill finished with ten points. Jevon Morris led the Panthers with 16 points; Ethan Roper came off the bench and poured in 12 points for the Panthers. His bucket with 52 seconds left made it 54-50, but the Panthers never got any closer than the final score. "It's a big win, that's for sure," Sanders said. "We were never out of this thing. Mentally, despite our poor (0-3) start (in conference play), our guys always felt they could contend in this league. We had a good balanced attack tonight. That's make it tough for a defense to key on just one guy. Defensively, especially in the last two minutes of the game, we really stepped it up. "We knew they wanted Morris to touch the ball. He's their go-to guy. But Utah played him tight down the stretch and denied him the ball. But let's be honest, in 15 games, we still haven't put together four good quarters of basketball. The best is yet to come, and we're starting to gell at the right time." The Pioneers return home to play Hickory Friday night. And the Red Tornadoes (4-8; 3-2), like WHS, are getting hot at the right time. They've won won three straight after an abysmal start. "They're a very good team, and they've got a lots of great athletes," Sanders said. "Hey, they get after it, and like us, they know what's at stake. It's just another game we have to win, if we want to stay in this race. We'll give it our best shot Friday night." Coverage of Friday's game between the Pioneers and Hickory Friday night begins at 6:05 p.m. on AM 1450, WATA and GoBlueridge.net.

dc.description.abstract | The requirement to include Indigenous Knowledge Systems in the science curriculum as mentioned by the Curriculum 2005 (DOE, 2003) and the NCS (DOE, 2008) has left educators wondering how to tackle this issue. IKS as defined by Onwu and Mosimege (2004) and Ogunniyi (2007) seems very broad. The problem then is to determine what components of IKS can be included in the school science curriculum. The other confusion brought by the need to include IKS in school science is how this may help to solve the current high failure rate in science that South Africa is experiencing. The realisation of the need to include IKS in school science was brought along with curriculum changes. One wonders then how the inclusion of IKS in school science will match the need to link science education with the changing nature of South African society. The expectations of the educators regarding the inclusion of IKS need to be investigated since they are at the level of the implementation of the curriculum. This study aims not only to discover their expectations but also their understanding and interpretations of IKS. Some textbooks such as Freedman, McKay, Pillay and Webb (2007) mention the need to include IKS in the science classroom but do not elaborate on which components of IKS and how it should be integrated. The problem of deriving the aspects of IKS that should be included is left to the educators. There is therefore a need to investigate the educators" knowledge of IKS, their expectations and their willingness to integrate IKS into school science. The purpose of this study is to investigate what science educators consider to be those aspects of science in IKS that can be integrated into science lessons. We ask "What specific IKS content that could possibly be included in school science, are science teachers aware of?" and "What are teachers" expectations of the inclusion of IKS and attitudes to implementing the inclusion of IKS into school science?" The ten educators that participate in this study are from both township schools and former Model C schools. They have responded to a questionnaire and a follow up semi- structured interview. The research project takes the format of a case study in which the ten Life Sciences educators attend IKS focussed discussion groups. In such seminars the educators deliberate on what IKS to include in the school science. Educators are requested to make a compilation of what they consider to be the IKS relevant to a given Life Sciences topic. In this paper I discuss an innovative data collection strategy: collaborative reflection (Keane, 2009). I report on the process which shares power in knowledge generation – a process particularly appropriate to IKS work. I also discuss the data results from the seminars and responses from the questionnaire. Here we present findings on educators" degrees of awareness of the IKS that can be included in school science and discuss their willingness to include IKS in school science. The research indicates that while educators are aware of the requirements of the curriculum to include IKS, they are not clear as to what to consider as IKS. The educators consider the task of identifying relevant IKS to be difficult while working as individuals. The collaborative seminars helped teachers identify relevant IKS to include in school science and brought about some positive change in attitude as educators began to appreciate the richness of IKS. Educators also feel that there is need to include the custodians of IKS in the process of identifying relevant IKS. | en_US |

Records Redaction
With the advent of the internet and the availability of mass amounts of information, it is one of the most important jobs of the Clerk to protect the identity of its citizens and the information that we keep that could be used in a negative way against them.
In this effort the Clerks Office works everyday on the redaction of Social Security and Bank Account Numbers prior to their availability on any publicly available website. There are cases, however, that special circumstances apply and greater amounts of information are needed to be redacted for such groups as Law Enforcement Officers, Judges, States Attorneys, etc.
In searching the Public Records there are instances where our automated system does not find what it should and the proper information is not redacted. These are usually found on much older records during a time when many of them were hand written and harder to read.
Also, in accordance with Florida Statute - Military Veterans were given the option to have their Military Discharge Papers removed from the Public Record. In order to have the process completed parties must complete the following form in the presense of a Deputy Clerk of Sumter County
If you feel that you meet any of the above criteria, please see the Records Forms Section to review the necessary process to have any additional information redacted or removed from the Official Record of Sumter County.

Presidential candidate Herman Cain is full of confidence about his 2012 prospects.
It's been weeks since he's set foot in first-voting Iowa or New Hampshire, yet he said Saturday he said expects to finish first or second in each state.
He's also predicting victory in South Carolina, which will hold the South's first presidential contest in 2012.
"And then, look out," Cain said Saturday before plunging into a crowd of football tailgaters at Samford University, a Baptist-affiliated school in Alabama.
That win, he says, will set the stage for him to capture the GOP nomination.
Cain, however, said he plans to "dial back" his campaign and media appearances in order to avoid missteps. Since climbing in the polls, he has had a series of fumbles, forcing him to clarify comments on abortion, immigration and terrorism suspects.
Cain has chalked up the mistakes to a grueling campaign schedule jammed with media interviews. Such itineraries are standard fare on the presidential campaign trail and it is unclear how aggressively he will restrict his schedule.
A former pizza magnate who has never held elected office, Cain is adapting from a longshot candidate hustling for any media attention to a front-runner who must be more selective with his time and disciplined in his message.
"When you're too tired you're not on your `A game,'" the 65-year-old Georgia businessman told a throng of reporters who greeted the arrival of his bus on the Samford campus.
He said it was a mistake to schedule interviews immediately following debates. Cain maintained he did not flip-flop on issues, but simply did not hear questions properly.
The blunt-spoken Cain has been more cautious lately. At a campaign stop at the Alabama Republican Party headquarters on Friday, Cain paused then asked a reporter to repeat a complicated two-part question on immigration.
"I don't want to have to clarify," he said with a laugh.
Not everyone thinks walking back a misstatement is a sign of weakness.
"I like that if he says something, he's not afraid to turn around and admit he's wrong," said Phil Andrews, of Birmingham, who tried without success to reach the candidate and have him sign his Cain t-shirt.
"He's human and that's just fine."

Even for a tranny vid, this is a very strange group of scenes. There is no common storyline. Basically, we have a collection of bondage/humiliation scenes, all featuring some of our favorite trans stars. But the sex is all simulated. Yep, simulated! There is no actual penetration or contact showing anywhere, and most of the cocks stay soft throughout.
Is there a market for this? Well, yeah, I'm sure there is, but I'm not sure why. It didn't hold my interest for long, but it could for those who are into trans and fetish bondage all wrapped up in the same package.

Marilyn Manson Plays the Villain: The Uncut Edition
[Editor's note: Space constraints kept the prose version of our interview with Marilyn Manson out of the print edition, but here you can read the stuff that was left on the cutting room floor. Point your mouse here for the Q & A version in the paper this week.] Press Photo
Once, there was a subculture of people with shaved parts of their head and brightly-dyed dreadlocks. They casually wore bondage gear and did drugs most people couldn't find. They were true freaks of a different sort - 1990s industrial cybergoths, or whatever the fuck you want to call them. Some of them were even kind of hot.
As with most subcultures in this country, music was an integral part of the culture. Nine Inch Nails, My Life With Thrill Kill Cult, Wumpscut, Velvet Acid Christ, KMFDM, Lords of Acid, shit like that. Some of it was great, some of it was horrible. But the artist that brought it all to the forefront was undeniably one person: Marilyn Manson.
Myself, I was big into Nine Inch Nails but never got into Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson was for the screwed-up, sexually active kids wearing black and white striped arm-warmers, chugging jolt cola and trying to score pot. Being a repressed young man, it was simply too odd for me and the sexual aspects of the band's image freaked me out. I remember listening to the Smells Like Children EP and being spooked out by all the noises. So I did what a lot of sexually intimidated losers did: I got into thrash and death metal.
In 1998, I found myself going to see Ozzfest with my father, my friend Alex, and my friend Andy. I saw Black Sabbath and Pantera. I saw Neurosis. I saw Type O Negative and met a fat guy covered in flour who had just had his nipples pierced. When I ran into him the second time, he was missing the piercings and had some blood in place.
I also saw Marilyn Manson. He was in a giant one of those pop-up boxes, the kind you turn the crank and it plays "Pop Goes the Weasel." I don't remember much about the performance other than that I was interested and Dimebag Darrell from Pantera came out on stage and chugged whiskey. Dimebag Darrell died. Andy went into the army. Alex went to college and started working for the government. My father stayed my father and still has the Ozzfest '98 t-shirt.
And I always remained slightly interested in Marilyn Manson. Needless to say, when I was presented the opportunity to interview the guy, I immediately agreed. Who the fuck wouldn't want to interview Marilyn Manson? Nevermind the fact that I didn't know a great deal about him, hadn't listened to any of his records in ten years, and hadn't interviewed someone in four years. I was going to interview Marilyn Manson for his upcoming tour with his idol, Alice Cooper.
I went home from my job where I was rearranging jumpers on motion sensor motherboards and started researching one of the most controversial figures in rock music in the last thirty years. I listened to his latest album, Born Villain. Dark, moody rock with "creepy" production shit laid underneath every track. "Good," I thought, "seems like not much has changed."
I took to the internet, soliciting questions as to what to talk to him about. The replies were varied:

A Very Odd Biscuit At Mrs. J's Restaurant
Located at 114 North Main Street, Orrville, OH 44667, they can also be reached at 330-683-0666. There was currently no website at the time of this writing. Parking was a breeze as Orrville was kind of a sleepy little town and even during the Sunday breakfast rush, there was plenty of streetside parking available.
Here was a shot of the exterior of the restaurant:
Once inside, I was greeted with a long and narrow dining room. To the left was the grill area and a counter area with barstools. To the right was a long line of booths running from the front to the back of the space. It was fairly full at 9:15 AM, but there was a booth open towards the back. There was no sign telling you to wait for a server or seat yourself, so I sort of lingered at the front of the door for a minute or so and when no one made an obvious attempt to walk towards me, I just decided it must be self-seating.
Fortunately, at every table were a number of menus already waiting, so while I waited for my server to come over, I started perusing the menu. Here were some shots of the menu:
I noted how the food listed on the menu matched the feel of the restaurant, both were basic and simple. Not knowing if I could even get a sandwich at 9:15 AM, I decided to stick with the breakfast foods category. My server finally returned with my glass of water and a fresh cup of black coffee:
I will say this about Mrs. J's coffee, it's fresh and not bitter at all. And I was never in want of a refill as all of the servers walked around offering to top off your glass.
For my breakfast I decided to go with something I haven't had in a while, biscuits and sausage gravy. The menu proudly advertised that it was homemade. Sadly I should've realized that the "homemade" adjective only applied to the sausage gravy and not the biscuits. After a few minutes, my breakfast arrived at my table:
As you can see from the photo above, the halved biscuits were pretty much smothered in the sausage gravy. Of course, the first thing I did was to taste the gravy. I could immediately tell that this was freshly made as the milk flavor sang through the sauce. The sausage was also nicely spiced as well. Sadly, that's where the love stops for this plate of food. I was a bit shocked that when I ate my first spoonful of gravy that is was barely lukewarm. The biscuits I expected to be room temperature, not the gravy. The gravy also had a strange sweetness to it that didn't play all that well with the spice from the sausage.
And in what turned out to be the strangest flavor in all of this were the biscuits. After managing to dig out a biscuit from the onslaught of gravy, I tried a bit by itself and I could swear it tasted like vanilla. The biscuit wasn't sweet, per se, but the scent of vanilla kept hitting my palate with every bite. Even when I paired it with the more strongly seasoned sausage gravy, I could still tell it was there. Texturally, the biscuit also fell short; it was more cake than flake. When I asked my server about the biscuits, she confessed that while the gravy was made every day in-house, the biscuits were outsourced from someplace else.
With my biscuits and gravy, I also decided to get a side of the freshly cut homefries. Here was what I received with my breakfast:
While these were cooked all of the way through, these were grossly underseasoned and in need of some additional contact time with the flat-top grill. I guess what I was missing was their sense of character. I don't normally put ketchup on hash browns/homefries, but in this case, I did and it helped out somewhat.
The bill, clocking in at a very reasonable $7.39, was paid at the front of the restaurant at the cashier's register. I have to give a marginal pass to Mrs. J's Restaurant. While the atmosphere felt very down home in an everybody - knows - your - name kind of way and the price of my meal was decent, the food was only so-so. Hopefully they'll rethink the whole making the biscuits from scratch instead of using someone else's, because that really was the weakest part of my meal today. The homefries could easily be fixed by adding seasoning and cooking them a little bit longer on the grill.
While I certainly wouldn't recommend you driving any further than ten minutes to get to Mrs. J's, if you happen to be in Orrville and in need of breakfast or lunch, definitely give them some thought. While you might not be blown away by the flavors, you'll definitely leave with a full stomach and a not-so-empty wallet.

I think your words are kind. Good sausage gravy and biscuits are impossible to find. Sadly, my experience at Mrs. J's was no exception. Gross would be my word of choice. You took a nice approach by mentioning the atmosphere of the restaurant and to me that shows a professional opinion. In my feeble layman terms all I can come up with is gross. Thanks for your perfectly chosen words.

thanks for all the recent writing on Orrville. Mrs J's is the local "greasy spoon," nothing too amazing, but a good place to fill up in the morning and catch up on the talk of the town.
Only two other places in town do breakfast (Dravenstotts and The Mill, which is inside Buehler's market)...both on West High St.
I think the restaurants in Orrville are very much like the town....meat and potatoes, nothing flashy. - February 17, 2010 at 12:56 PM

@Red Rider: I thought about leaving your comment alone, but I think you raise an important point and I want to make sure I am very clear about my intent here on Exploring Food My Way.
When I eat at a restaurant, especially a little mom and pop place like Mrs. J's, I am not judging it against a fancier and more expensive version of the same thing in, say, downtown Cleveland. However, once I finish the meal and start reflecting on my experience, you begin to realize that you can't eat the same kind of food at multiple establishments without starting to compare experiences.
To be sure, I love a good greasy spoon. See my reviews on The Big Egg, Wally Waffle, The Enchanted Cafe, The Golden Goose, and my upcoming review of Twig's Diner in Barberton if you want just several examples. However, just because the food isn't fancy, doesn't mean I can let the details slide. If I didn't hold every food experience up to the same level, that of being well seasoned and properly prepared food, then the words you read here on my blog would be worthless.
I love the fact that the residents of Orrville have a local place like Mrs. J's to catch up with each other. I'd love it even more if they also had a place that put as much effort as they can into making the food everything it could be. - February 17, 2010 at 1:56 PM
- Red Rider Sports Blog (Tim Snyder) said...
No arguement from me. From what I read, you're just as comfortable in a mom & pop place as anywhere else. To you it's about the food. I get that.
In a way, I was lamenting the lack of "good eats" in Orrville and the need for some more places. The mexican place on Main St. does a mint on the weekend because it's unique, not because it has the best food around. We're desperate for something unique (and good) that others in the surrounding area may consider a drive to Orrville.
Head south of town (almost to Rt. 30) and try a place called Bishops...great, great onion rings. - February 18, 2010 at 9:50 AM

"Nit Picky Lice Removal Service offers parents an effective solution to treat head lice and nits in San Fernando Valley."
June 1, 2010 – Nit Picky, a professional head lice removal service, announced the expansion of their in-home services to various cities throughout California, including San Fernando Valley.
Nit Picky Lice Removal Service specializes in helping families effectively remove nits and lice without the use of pesticides and focuses on manually removing the tiny pest. Their in-home treatments allow privacy and comfort while a lice specialist screens each family member and treats those that have a lice infestation. Nit Picky is now expanding their services throughout the San Fernando Valley to help more people effectively eradicate head lice.
Treating head lice and removing nits is not easy. The process requires parents to spend endless hours of nit picking and pay for unforeseen expenses. The cost of failed treatments and days missed off work, school, and camp quickly add up. "Before contacting Nit Picky, our customers have treated with lice shampoos, prescriptions, alternative treatments, and spent countless hours removing nits. They feel frustrated and helpless when they find out that they still have head lice. When everything else has failed they turn to us for a solution," explains Shannon Karrigan, Founder of Nit Picky.
Parents can relax when hiring Nit Picky to come to their home. They are able to focus on what needs to be done around the house to prevent a future infestation while having the peace of mind that their problem is being taken care of correctly.
"There is an increasing need for proper head lice treatment. Expanding our lice removal services in San Fernando Valley gives us a chance to help more people with this problem than ever before. Our process is effective and affordable in comparison to self treatments that tend to fail," said Karrigan.
Nit Picky offers a real solution to head lice and nits in California, Nevada, and Oregon. They are expected to be in Washington by the end of summer. Additional services include school and camp screenings, educational presentations, and non-toxic, pesticide free products.

Punch of Red
You know I'd rather go with pink or orange. But recently, red has continued to grow on me. I especially love a bright, saturated red. More tomato than apple. And I'm embracing it even more when paired with soft, pretty neutrals like the metallics, lace, and polka dots below. A punchy combination!

i was happy with this hat because it was small enough to fit and infant. i was disappointed in the fabric. i thought it would be a little stiffer. I wish i could have found a hat this small in better colors because its a solid ,to bright royal blue. over all i'm happy with it.
Haven't gotten to use it yet but am please with it.
Seemed a little small but I wasn't sure what the age range was and my guy was 4, we got a large and it was a bit small. It was great for playing in and around the water and stayed on well.
This hat was great for keeping the sun off of my 3 year olds face and neck while he played in the sand at the beach. He never complained about it being uncomfortable or hot.

Second 'Paranormal Activity 4′ Trailer Tease – Full Trailer Lands Tomorrow
Hot on the heels of yesterday's first tease, Paramount Pictures has unveiled this second short teaser in time for the launch of the first 'Paranormal Activity 4′ trailer on Wednesday. Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are returning to the directors chair for this fourth instalment in the 'Paranormal Activity' franchise. They directed 'Paranormal Activity 3′ on a budget of $5 million, which subsequently went onto gross $202,951,300, making it the highest grossing film in the 'Paranormal Activity' series. The directing duo made their debut with the chilling documentary 'Catfish.'
Paramount Pictures has pencilled in a October 21st release date for 'Paranormal Activity 4.' There are currently no details as to what the fourth 'Paranormal Activity' film will entail, or whether any of the franchise's cast will be returning. 'Paranormal Activity 2′ collected a hefty $156 million worldwide upon its release on a $3 million production budget. The original, directed by Oren Peli, earned $193 million at the box office on a $15,000 budget. 'Paranormal Activity 4′ is written by Zack Estrin (The River, Prison Break).

Robert Goulet
Born: November 26, 1933
Lawrence, Massachusetts
Died: October 30, 2007
Los Angeles, California
Obituary: Mr. Goulet, who most of his life sported a slicked-back, highly sculpted hairstyle and a pencil-thin moustache, played opposite the King Arthur of Richard Burton and the Guenevere of Julie Andrews. He sang the comically arrogant "C'est Moi" and the romantic ballad "If Ever I Would Leave You." The two taken together proved to aptly sum up Mr. Goulet's persona, which hovered between slick showbiz schmaltz and sincere romanticism.
Soon after, he appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and other programs and became a household name. The crooner never lost his connection to the Lerner and Loewe musical that made his name. As the years went by, he graduated to the part of King Arthur and frequently toured with the show, most recently in 2003. He played Arthur in a Broadway revival for a summer in 1993. His final Broadway credit was as Georges in the 2004 revival of La Cage aux Folles, replacing Daniel Davis in the part. (He had turned down the chance to do the original 1984 production.) Other credits included the comedy Moon Over Buffalo. He won a Tony Award for the 1968 Kander and Ebb musical The Happy Time, in which he played a prodigal son who returns to his bickering Quebec family.
In his later years, Mr. Goulet proved a huge draw on the road. Other touring credits included The Fantasticks, Man of La Mancha and South Pacific. "I've spent most of my life in" hotel rooms, he told Playbill.com in 1996. "You go to a city for a week, you do five shows on the weekend and you're damn exhausted. Maybe you take your wife to dinner on Monday — it's your only night off — there's the opening night party, interviews for the Sunday supplements, a chance for a quick game of golf. On Friday I do nothing to save my energy for the five shows."
Robert Gerard Goulet, who was of French-Canadian parentage, was born in Lawrence, MA, on Nov. 26, 1933. His father Joseph encouraged his son, who was blessed with a beautiful baritone, to pursue singing. After his father died, the 14-year-old Mr. Goulet moved to Edmonton, Canada, and won a singing scholarship to the Royal Conservatory of music in Toronto. In 1951 he made his concert debut at Edmonton in Handel's Messiah.
His recording career began in 1962 with "Always You" on Columbia Records. He cut more than a dozen albums in the 1960s and became a fixture on the nightclub circuit. He lived in Las Vegas in later years, a town where he frequently performed.
Mr. Goulet acted in numerous television shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s, but wasn't really recognized as a credible screen performer until he began poking fun at his image as a showbiz smoothie in the 1980s. He played himself in an episode of the short-lived, but influential police drama send-up "Police Squad!" and later appeared in one of the program's movie spin-offs, "The Naked Gun 2: The Smell of Fear." He played an obnoxious houseguest in "Beetlejuice" and himself in the Bill Murray comedy "Scrooged." On "The Simpsons," his animated self performed a gig in Bart's treehouse, singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells!"
Robert Goulet is survived by his wife since 1982, Vera Goulet, and three children. Earlier marriages to Louise Longmore and Carol Lawrence ended in divorce.
Mr. Goulet was well known for his self-deprecating sense of humor. In 2004 he told Playbill.com of an incident that happened during a rehearsal for Camelot. "Moss Hart was directing this scene between Richard Burton and me in Camelot, and we're supposed to come face to face. We had been drinking and I said to Richard, "Shall we kiss?" And he said, "Alright, on the lips?" Now I had never kissed a man before in my life, not even my father, but I couldn't back down. We said, "Mr. Hart, could we show you the relationship between Lancelot and [King Arthur] so the audience will know immediately?" He said, "By all means." Then Richard and I kissed. It took an hour and a half to get Moss off the ceiling."

Have any of you tried the Sugino Impel 150X crankset? I have a BB UN72, which is a square taper, 110mm bb and it appears that this may be one of the only cranksets out there. I need to replace my chainrings and was planning on buying Deore rings, but the sugino crankset would be cheaper. Thoughts?
Thanks for the help.

The orangutan enclosure at Vienna's Schönbrunn Zoo has been temporarily closed off to the public after the zoo's female orangutan had a stillbirth.
Although there were regular checkups and the baby seemed to be doing fine it was eventually stillborn to its 16-year-old mother Sol.
According to experts female orangutans have a high rate of stillbirths with regards to their first baby although the checkups had led them to believe that in this case the baby that was born on Monday would be healthy.
In the wild even after the baby is stillborn the mother will often carry it around for a while before accepting that the baby is dead.
Zoo vet Hanna Vielgrader said: "They will stay with the baby and carry it even when did in the wild for a few days and we want to give this morning time to Sol as well. As a result their area is closed to the public for the moment."

Former Brothers & Sisters star Emily VanCamp is returning to ABC.
As the female lead in the network's potential new primetime drama, Revenge, VanCamp will potentially be back on the same network she left last fall.
Written by Swingtown creator Mike Kelley and directed by Phillip Noyce, the pilot is called a contemporary re-imagening of The Count of Monte Cristo.
Happy (Van)Camper: Emily may land on another ABC show this fall.
From a female perspective, the show focuses on Emily Thorn (VanCamp), a mysterious young woman who comes to the Hamptons to exact revenge.
People who destroyed her family are in for a world of hurt, basically.
VanCamp, who joined Brothers & Sisters midway through the first season, and who also starred on Everwood, left the family drama early in its fifth.

1. Re: can't align a stroke to inside
Kurt Gold Apr 11, 2012 3:49 AM (in response to kililio)It may be an open path although it looks like a closed path. Aligning strokes inside or outside does only work on closed paths.
2. Re: can't align a stroke to inside
Monika Gause Apr 11, 2012 5:14 AM (in response to kililio)You can easily achieve it with a custom width profile in version CS5
3. Re: can't align a stroke to inside
Gustavo Del Vechio Apr 11, 2012 5:55 AM (in response to kililio)Hi Kililio
If your shape is using brushes you cannot select align inside or outside (just to center). Also if you have a custom width profile you cannot select that align options too. But using width profiles (or the Width Tool) you could achieve the result you want..as Monika mentioned.
Best Regards

With a name like the Driftwood Room, one might imagine a bar with a nautical theme, its walls coated with ship's wheels and fishing nets. But this darkly lit (dare we say cavelike?) bar, set discreetly off the lobby of the Hotel Deluxe, is more like a rendezvous locale for vintage-clothed hipsters or a posse convened by David Lynch. Pale-yellow couches undulate beneath exposed-brick walls at the bar's elegant cul de sac. It's a piece of drinking real estate desirable for its views of the room and also for the abundance of shadows where a couple can easily disappear—into either a vodka haze or a lusty mood.
Happy hour stretches from 3 to 6 during the workweek at cool cat club the Driftwood Room. You'll look swank nibbling on ahi tuna for $4.50 or spooning up the chicken chowder for $2.50.

The Wells Fargo Cup award, sponsored by Wells Fargo and the NCHSAA, recognizes the high schools that achieve the best overall interscholastic athletic performance within each of the state's four competitive classifications.
