Zooey Deschanel: Being Called Quirky Is 'Annoying'
"It's an annoying word," Deschanel says. "'Quirky' is like a nice way of saying weird."
The 31-year-old actress, married to Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, will appear in 'Your Highness' this spring.
"It's a spoof of '80s adventure fantasy movies. It's a comedy that has a lot of really dirty jokes," Deschanel tells Lucky. "I play Belladonna. I'm a maiden and I'm betrothed to Prince Fabious played by James Franco."
One of Deschanel's favorite parts of filming 'Your Highness' was the medieval wardrobe. "I had so many amazing costumes in the movie. They weren't things I would normally wear. They were basically medieval gowns. It was really fun dressing up like I was going to a Renaissance fair for three months," she says.
More highlights from Zooey Deschanel's Lucky magazine cover:
On her personal style: "I would say girly, flirtatious, colorful. Feminine, maybe, and soft. But yeah, definitely colorful."
On her "style test" for an outfit: "What if I need to run away? Just take off at any minute? I want to be able to run away and dance at all times."
On dressing up as a child: "I wanted to be really girly, like Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz.' I'm still the same way."
On her favorite party dress: "I was 14 and wanted to wear a red dress to a party. I was just determined. So I found all this old material from Christmas stockings, and I taught myself how to sew. It had white lace at the top and an empire waist, and it was knee length -- it was actually really cute."
On LA's new fashion trends: "I'm not a leather-dress, bondage-pumps type of person. All those straps and zippers look horrible on me. Am I going to kill someone with that shoe? I like things that are pretty. I like dressing up."

She's wonderful. Love her singing, her acting and her style. She's a natural beauty.

OK - Zoe - you're not quirky; you are weird and you are annoying, as well as a terrible actress. There! You feel better?

She is so quirky and so weird. How she ever got to be where she is-wherever that is-is beyond the stars in the sky. WEIRD!
- Thursday 03 MarchBy jenne
Being called weird to me is saying that you are unique, which is a good thing. Be concerned when someone calls you a 'weirdo' which is like saying you are creepy or freaky. So Zooey, just keep being your unique self! Nice singing voice!!
- Thursday 03 MarchBy jay
What a great news story! Thanks, popeater staff, for quoting LUCKY magazines story to us
- Thursday 03 MarchBy willi149s
I don't know anything about this actress/singer, but there is nothing wrong in my opinion about a person being quirky or weird, if, in the process you are not hurting anybody else...some people successfully "live outside the box" and still have productive happy lives.

There is no box. That's just another example of dichotomous thinking.

Who is this person exactly?
- Thursday 03 MarchBy Sun-Hawaii
I thought she was quirky too and don't know why. Is it becuz she takes the quirky roles? Or is becuz she's a vegan and only uses natural fiber clothing. Not that that's quirky so simmer down you vegans but I think I read more of her quirky behaviors/choices.

I think she's annoying. At least people are talking about her favorably. Would she rather be a struggling actress?

Who is this chick? Is she on TV or something?

Zooey played the blond girlfriend in "ELF". Remember, she was signing in the shower at the department store, and Elf came in a sang with her?

May 2013: The Long Way Around the Great Salt Lake (Day 1)
Plan is to have ejtv and jakbrand meet in Salt Lake City for the first part of this trip to explore northern part of Utah and Nevada, north and west of the Great Salt Lake, as far as McDermont, then head south and east toward the Bonneville Salt Flats and back to Salt Lake City. For the second part of the trip, we would meet A-rider to ride south to the Standbury Mountains, Little Sahara and Cherry Creek.
Teaser pic:
Here's what we did:
The Utah portion of the ride was dominated by features like salt flats and sand dunes left over when old Lake Bonneville retreated.

The Long Way Around the Great Salt Lake (Day 1 cont.))
BTR-SLC flight uneventful. My daughter picked me up (recently moved to Utah, how lucky!) and we went to the storage unit. I found it, well, dusty, but unchanged after 6 months.
I started tbang's WR to make sure it still worked. It did. And sent him a voice clip. He will join us in August for the one way trip to Spokane. Then picked up boots, tarp, helmet, giant loop, gear, tools, etc., and headed to ADS Sports in Ogden to pick up my KTM 500 at their shop. They had kept her all winter, added new tires, lower seat, worked on the two recall notices, did some butt surgery on the rear fender and lights, changed oil and filter, etc., and most importantly, added a 5.2 gal extended Acerbis tank.
From there, we stopped at my brother's house in Ogden to get everything ready. The first time you get everything out on the floor and try to figure out what you need, even with a list, is a nightmare. We brought everything from tools to food to stoves to tarp, sleeping bags, 1st aid kit, water filter, etc. And it all has to fit in Here I am in his garage with Sol, my grand-dog. Notice the bushwhackers on my handlebars. They worked great in the cold and rain:
Here I am at the office two days before my official 50th birthday:
Here are some pics at dinner the day before my official birthday:
And here's the dinner BD celebration at my brother's:
Paleo dinner:
Sorry, too many non-moto pics, I know.
To bed early to meet jakbrand at 7 am for breakfast in Ogden Utah to celebrate my real birthday with a 12 hour ride on the dirt.

The Long Way Around the Great Salt Lake (Day 2 part 1)
So the plan is to meet jakbrand, share some BS about all that had happened in the last 6 months since we rode in Utah well, mostly we worked and most importantly, we trained and trained to be ready for this ride. Last thing we want is to ruin a perfectly good week because we are too tired or sore
Here's jakbrand after breakfast and some final supplies, turning on his SPOT.
After what seemed like an eternity north on I-15 on pavement, we veered west toward the Golden Spike National Historic Site, for the most part a non-event, and beyond. Here's a trusty park ranger asking us: do you have enough fuel? Yes we do. Nice beard though.
Here now approaching the northern shores of the Great Salt Lake:
Playing around the dried salty shore:
The overcast Utah skies in early may were spectacular:
The plan was to continue riding west, south of the Sawtooth NF.
We struck singletrack here and there along the way, mostly cow trails, but good enough for us!
Playing around one of the many passes we rode over that day.
Wondering what these plastic tubes were on the side of the road we think they were designed to protect the seedlings to protect from erosion
Another pass:
And he first of many snow obstacles. This one we were able to ride/walk/push the motorcycles on the uphill side, right of the picture, to avoid the dreaded re-route. I think this was by Ingham Pass. No pictures of the work here. That happens when you're too scared or concentrating too hard...

Celebrating getting around the snowbank…
Asking for directions near Etna, Utah…We found many of the roads we planned to ride being in private property…so rerouting was an everyday deal...
Late in the day, after having crossed into Nevada...
...we selected a camping spot away from the dirt road and protected from the wind.
jakbrand "cooking" water to add into dehydrated meals…

was not what I expected. The landscape was blanketed with green grass and thick stands of sage brush. It resembled images from the Mongolian Steppes minus the camels.

passing through one of a zillion cattle gates. This gap had a cattle grate and a wire fence gate. Some of the wire fence gates later in the tour were nearly impossible to open and close, but we employed ingenious methods to close the more difficult SOB's.
I do not condone cross country riding but I hope that skirting an occasional snow field can be forgiven.
desert steppes
My 6 gallon gas tank provides about a 240 mile range. We had already covered 250 miles for the day and I had switched to reserve about 5 miles before our camp. Next gas was at least 10 miles away in Jackpot, NV, but I'll worry about that little issue tomorrow.

The Long Way Around the Great Salt Lake (Day 3)
I kept jakbrand up all night. The coyotes he said. I laughed because while we did hear coyotes in the early AM, he meant that I coughed for an hour straight from midnight to 1 AM of so. I was sick as a dog. Thank you Nyquil for calming me down.
After breaking camp we headed to Jackpot for breakfast, gas, a few supplies and a little bit of gambling....
This is where the high rollers park:
jakbrand has never gambled .so he puts a dollar in
Pulls the lever
Pushes a button or two, gets a ticket stamped $1: I won I won I won!
Just then, security escorts us out for taking pictures inside a casino: you know we have bishops and big wig politicians here and we don't want them outed
We must have opened about 200 of these gates during the week and closed 200 for a grand total of maybe 400 gates...
Plan was to head toward Jarbidge via the Humbolt NF, Jarbidge District mountains, possibly eat lunch in Jarbidge
Several stream crossings as we approached the NF:
As we ride higher into the mountains
we reach around 7500 feet and after a valiant effort crossing a couple of snowdrifts, the snow makes us do a reroute away from what we knew would be a spectacular approach to Jarbidge over the Elk Mountains and Lime Creek Basin...
...so instead we end up heading north outside of the NF, ride a bit of pavement west and then head back south to reach Jarbidge from the NNE climbing up to the what they call the "island" NNE of Jarbidge...
We could tell nobody had ridden this sector this season because of the fallen trees...
I made a big mistake crossing this log. I had been practicing on a trials bike all winter and now I could show off my skills, and this was a tiny log compared to what I had been hopping over but unlike my trials bike, the KTM has a lot of engine compression and its flywheel is not as heavy, relative to the size of the engine so I get ready to do the double blip first blip, front end, hits log, compresses, second blip, front clears the log, rear hops onto the log, at which point the engine stalls, locks the rear and slams the front end into the ground and almost sends me over the bars and I lesson learned, the double blip on a KTM needs more throttle action...
Eventually we begin our descent into Jarbidge after playing around a bit climbing some hills and coming back down after the inevitable crash or two of course, the pictures don't do justice to the steepness, yada yada yada...
When we got to Jarbidge, basically one street and a row of houses on either side about 1/4 mile long, was deserted, not even a dog. Eventually we found half the town here at The Trading Post...
We happen to have arrived at Beer 30. Come in so we grab couple too and chat with the locals
...we share stories about our ride, the snow, road closures, why they live in Jarbidge, how isolated they are from city folk, things to do and eventually we ask where can we grab something to eat and find a place to sleep. The proprietor then picks up his phone and calls The Red Dog Saloon to let them know we need dinner for two and two rooms.
A little bit of pool
and a nice meal. Like in most places out west, we always order their burgers. Something about the ground beef out west makes burgers there taste better than at home.
Here we are at the Red Dog Saloon bar with the manager, Wanda. Husband, Dennis, in the background. She really looked after us: cooked dinner, opened up earlier than usual for breakfast, prepared drinks and coffee, did our laundry, got our rooms ready, etc. All the beer 30 crowd ended up showing up at the Red Dog a couple of hours later. Bar hopping in Jarbidge Nevada
Got gas and then played fetch with the border collies of the gas station owner.
Motel was across from Red Dog Saloon
I have to say Jarbidge was a jewell. Highly recommended as a stop for gas, food, beer and a bed. Plan a moto trip out there. A bit out of the way, which is exactly the point.
The Red Dog Saloon # is 775.488.2420. Wanda will take care of you she kept saying: Don't forget about Jarbidge. We won't.
Outdoor Inn , also highly recommended, though it doesn't open until later in May. Both are owned by the same family.

The Long Way Around the Great Salt Lake (Day 4 Part 1)
So after breakfast at the Red Dog and discussion about the best reroute, we settle on riding north and then taking NF Road 071 west toward Mountain City. One of the main features of our plan was to then cross the Owyhee Desert and reach the Santa Rosa District of the Humboldt NF.
NF Rd 071; can't tell, but we had lots of rain for the first half of the day. I have to say those Klim Badlands pants we wore, while obscenely expensive, actually do work, keep you dry, ventilated and warm:
So we get to Mountain City, no services…only the Post Office is open. That tells you something…We take a quick rest and turn around to head back up the western section of the Humboldt NF Mountain City District, in the rain, beautiful though, only to be turned around by the snow, again, at around 7300 feet, just half a mile from the pass by Picnic Flats...and another major reroute. This time we head north on pavement toward the town of Owyhee. Arriving, cold and wet.
At this grocery store/gas station, jakbrand buys a whole box of zip locks to protect his electronics. Watch this, it won't rain again for the rest of the week he says. I swear it never rained again the whole week. Every day I told him, you should have bought the zip locks Sunday morning when we started the ride…At Owyhee we had hot chocolate, hot coffee, ribs, tapped off our tanks and we headed toward the desert again.

The Long Way Around the Great Salt Lake (Day 4 Part 2)
Crossing Sheep Creek Dam. Here the road got really tricky, but we eventually found a faint double track.
The characteristic feature of the Owyhee Desert is Sage. Also, the sky, after all that rain, was stunning. That pretty much was the subject of my pictures, not so much the KTM's.., and the dust was not as bad as it would have been otherwise.
We crossed dozens and dozens of gates...
As we approach the Owyhee River, there were a series of irrigation canals, ditches, fields, etc. Finding the right roads became a bit of a problem. Eventually we found a cowboy on horseback, leather chaps and all, who showed us the general direction to cross the South Fork of the Owyhee River. He did say, you know, these are all private lands…I don't mind, but be careful. We had tried to be respectful of private property, and to that point I don't think we had crossed any "no-trespassing signs"…but as we got to the other side of the river, we did see the signs at a couple of gates, but on our way out though, as we faced the signs closing the gates…Certainly if we would have approached the crossing of the Owyhee Desert from west to east, I think we would have turned around at the sight of the signs…maybe.
The crossing was not very dramatic:
So after this picture, jakbrand turned around and found another spot to cross the river itself…except I missed the pic.
Because words can't describe what we found in the Owyhee Desert, here are more pics:
Why the sage is mowed for tens of miles in the middle of nowhere was beyond us…a quick google search didn't reveal much. Anyone? Anyone?
More sky, desert and jakbrand's KTM somewhere:
Only the dust tails can be seen from jakbrand's KTM:
And as evening fell, we settled for this spot to spend the night, just north of Botton Lake Well, about 2/3 of the way between the Mountain City District and the Santa Rosa District of the Humboldt NF…

Picked to Click 2014: Ballots, Bands, and Fraudulent Pieces of What?
|Not actual Picked to Click voters.
The results of this year's Picked to Click -- our 24th annual poll of local music devotees -- are a true Minnesota fiesta. On Wednesday, the top 10 (well, 11) vote-getters were revealed here, and in the print edition of City Pages. But there is oh so much more to pore over between the doldrums of waking and sleeping at the Picked to Click website.
With 282 artists -- from Allan Kingdom all the way down to "LCD SOUND SYSTEM OF A DOWN SYNDROME" and "Paul Westerburg's suit" -- spread over 136 ballots, this is an uncensored space where absolutely nothing/everything is sacred.

Final Descent
Miles below Frances soil are dark grottoes and jagged columns covered in prehistoric scrawlings. They offer Shamanistic visions of the underworld grinning half-man, half-bird beasts and catalog natures power struggles a pride of lions forcing a herd of bison off a cliff. The scenes wax and wane over the caves bumps and crevices. When filmmaker Werner Herzog sought to make a documentary about Chauvet, the oldest cave paintings ever discovered, he needed a medium as dynamic as the canvas. So the German ventured into a realm wed never thought he go.
He not only received permission from the French minister of culture to spelunk into Chauvet, but also joined hyper-mainstream James Cameron and Jackass by filming Cave of Forgotten Dreams in, gasp, 3-D. Yet the extra dimension doesnt feel like a marketing ploy. Herzog uses the in-your-face technology to convey the caves tight confines and the ancient art forms dependence on topography. See what the director behind Grizzly Man can do with a movie about 30,000-year-old finger paintings when it screens at Coral Gables Art Cinema .

NEW 6 bedroom 3 bath Cedar Chalet Style home with finished basement has everything you've ever wanted from a vacation home and more!! This spectacular home overlooking the 7th green/8th tee of Spring Brook Golf Course and nestled into the Northwoods features an open floor plan, a beautiful four seasons 360 degree sunroom, knotty-pine vaulted ceilings and a finished basement with game room and pool table. The main level features a large living area with four couches, a gas fireplace, 2 flat screen TVs, large dining area and a full kitchen with dishwasher. The main floor also offers a full bathroom, laundry/mud room and two large bedrooms. The upstairs master suite contains a large king bed, flat screen television and private bathroom with shower and whirlpool tub. The finished basement contains 3 additional bedrooms, 1 king with TV, 1 queen and 1 bedroom with a bunk bed (twin upper/full lower). The fully finished basement also contains a Family/Game room with queen sofa sleeper, flat screen TV with Nintendo Wii, XBox and Blu-Ray player.
The chalet is quietly situated within a cove of the Northwoods, but is also steps to the Spring Brook Resort amenities and less than 2 miles from all of the Dells attractions. Guests will have access to Spring Brook indoor and outdoor pools, dining, fitness center and discounted water park, amusement park and ski lift tickets.
This home is situated on Spring Brook Resort. To read more about the amenities at Spring Brook Resort, check out www.spring-brook.com.
I discovered Spring Brook 15 years ago when I was looking for a house to stay at the Dells with some friends. We had such a great time at the resort I ended up coming up every year for an annual extended family trip. After getting married in 2004 and making a few trips with my wife, we decided to buy this home, 'Cloud Nine'. It was the best purchase we've ever made! We now have 3 kids and enjoy coming up here at least once a month. Our kids love all of the attractions and outdoors activities, it's a perfect family getaway. The house is large enough that every year we take several trips with multiple families and relatives. We also often celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas up here. It's a beautiful place to spend the holidays. We love the house, Spring Brook Resort and we know you will too!
J Schwan purchased this chalet in 2009
Spring Brook is nestled into the Northwoods but is less than 5 minutes from all of the Dells attractions. You get the privacy and serenity of a Northwoods vacation but have the ability to quickly get to all the water parks, shopping, duck rides, restaurants and other attractions the Dells has to offer. Cloud Nine is within walking distance to the Spring Brook Club House, Pools and 1st hole of the golf course.
The house has an open floor plan with four large couches on the main level. We also recently put in a beautiful four seasons sun room on the main level. You can sit out in the sun room and enjoy watching the golfers, staring into the woods or at night, up into the stars. The finished basement includes pull out couches, wet bar, a separate 'beverage fridge' and a pool table. It's great for entertaining or giving the kids a place to 'unwind'.
This vacation home was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 7 small children. It was secluded so we did not feel like we were bothering anyone and yet it was close to all Dells attractions. It was so easy to find once we exited 90. The photos accurately depicted the home. It had a very open and woodsy feel. We did not have a need to contact the owner. While the furnishing were a bit worn we would still recommend and we plan to return again. Recommend pulling up carpet and replacing with a wood laminate flooring as the carpet was stained in several places.
This is a great place for adults and children to relax and have fun without all the crowds of the Dells Swim Resorts. There are two floors with three bedrooms each and enough flat screen TVs to open a sports bar, The owner just added a beautiful addition that looks out on the golf course and the cross country skiers. We also had rights to the club house where the kids could swim, play games etc while the adults could work out in the fitness center. There also is a great family restaurant with an outstanding but reasonable menu and supersized cocktails! This is the second time we have been here and we cannot wait to come back this summer!
We just got back from a family weekend at this place and it was awesome! Would totally recommend it for a big group of people, or a family who wants to stay close to all the fun stuff to do in the Dells. Great pool, great bar, great restaurant- what more could you ask for. Or, don't go anywhere and enjoy the awesome sunroom, huge deck or the pool table in the basement. Can't say enough good things about this place. We had three families up there, never felt crowded and there were plenty of rooms for everyone to sleep comfortably. We will definitely be going back!!!
We've stayed at this particular house a couple of times now, and it's great for us to bring the kids and to have some of the extended family join us, as well. There are 6 bedrooms so plenty of space for everyone. The house is really nice with a huge deck and fire pit on the side. The living room downstairs has a pool table, which the kids love, and an additional fridge/wet bar. Great sunroom off the kitchen looking out onto the course and woods is perfect. The clubhouse restaurant/bar and pools are a real bonus of this community and the 9 hole golf course is super convenient being right there. This is just a great place to stay at in the Dells and to have everything you need for a great trip right there, without always having to deal with the crowds and craziness of the huge waterpark hotels.
Our family stated at this chalet over the winter and can't wait to go back! The house is wonderful with plenty of room for all. The kids and the adults had plenty of places to relax! The sunroom added a lot of light and it was fun to end the night with a game of pool in the game room. Plenty of room for everyone to fit comfortably and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the nearby pool, hot tub and restaurant, and were only 4-5 minutes away from all of the Wis Dells attractions. We already booked our weekend next winter!
Let me start by stating we received a significant adjustment in the daily rate, because one bedroom was unusable due to flooding. At check in we were told flooding had occurred and that a ventilation was in use to dry out the carpeting in the lower level bedroom. Since we had this family weekend planned for months, we went ahead with check in. Upon getting to the house we found one bedroom unusable. We then contacted the front desk for another house, which we were told was unavailable due to full booking. After checking elsewhere we negotiated a reduced rate because no other places were available for our group size that weekend in the Dells. We thought OK we'll make the best of it. This proved to be a mistake as this property proved to be so much in need of basic maintenance items such as; paint, replacement mattresses, light bulbs, replacement shelves in the refrigerator's doors and last but certainly not least good basic house cleaning.
Set on 360 wooded acres, the living at Spring Brook is easy, the amenities appealing and the lifestyle relaxing.

A new northwoods-style Clubhouse Complex complete with indoor/outdoor pools, whirlpools, fitness room, game room, rustic restaurant and bar, two fishing lakes, beautifully wooded walking trails, cross-country ski trails, snowmobile trails and more.
Spring Brook Sports Bar & Grill, a local's favorite for wings, along with our Famous Friday Fish Fry. Don't miss a second of the game, with TV's in both the bar and dining room!
A 9-hole, par 36 regulation golf course - known to be one of Wisconsin's finest 9-hole golf courses, this meticulously-groomed course is tucked away in the tall pines of Spring Brook and is a challenge to all who play.

According to several women writers, a hot hi-tech hiring wave will be seeking: Teledildonics Integration Engineers and Fleshlight API Programmers (FAPs.) While porn has been trying to edge into Virtual Reality Sex, and VR keeps trying to penetrate the porn market, maybe the moment for this market to explode has finally come. As with most provocative blogs, the real meat of interest is in the comments sections of these posts. Let's just say it's a sausage fest.
We all know what enabled the VCR to become ubiquitous. One marketing school of thought foresees being virtually jacked-in as the app which will put a Rift in every home.
Fruzsina Eordogh evaluates the state of the art in VR porn (NSFW):
The porn of the future is titillating. As virtual reality matures, we'll be aroused in three-dimensional immersive alternative realities, interacting with super-lifelike porn stars customized to our taste. People will look back on our passive and lonely 2D smut and pity us.
Retired adult performer Aurora Snow, in "In-Your-Face 3D is the Future of Porn", adds to the hype.
A webcam girl could offer a "hands on" interactive session without ever having to leave the bedroom or swap bodily fluids. A porn star could give an explicit how-to tutorial to a couple a thousand miles away. The world of porn is about to change… All joking aside, what was once considered an expensive gimmick (VR) is on the verge of going mainstream.
And Gina Lynn (not the porn star) tells us The 10 Real Reasons Why Geeks Make Better Lovers. Numero uno: "Geeks build it so you will come!"
Geek lovers combine a well-developed and oft-exercised erotic imagination with their physical technique. It isn't a big leap from "I'm a level-13 thief, evil-aligned" to "I'm the prison warden and you're the new detainee."
VRtifacts has covered 25 years of predictions that Virtual Sex will be the killer app.

Hot off the press is Ben Delaney's authoritative new book, Sex, Drugs, and Tessellation which collects 6 years of wisdom from Ben's CyberEdge Journal, the go-to virtual reality publication from 1991 through 1996. Ben has always been both a proponent of, and realist about VR, offering insightful market insights and lucid explanations of ofttimes opaque technology. Both students of VR and grizzled veterans will find Ben's writing to be illuminating. You may remember his appearance on the PBS series Newton's Apple where he explains the workings of the Virtual Research Flight Helmet.
An abbreviated "book jacket" summary:
Did you ever wonder who built the first head-mounted display? Who first detailed a coherent theory of Cyberspace? Who wrote about cybersex and the challenges it creates? Who worried about addiction to VR? Did anyone ever cure cyber-sickness?
From 1991 to 1996, CyberEdge Journal covered these stories and hundreds more … … Appreciated for its "No VR Hype" attitude, CyberEdge Journal was the publication of record for the VR industry in the 90's….
Now that VR is enjoying a renaissance, it's time to understand where it came from, and avoid making the same mistakes that were made in the first golden age of VR, the 1990's. It's also a good time to remember the excitement and sense of adventure that characterized those time.
Sex, Drugs, and Tessellation describes not just some of the hot topics of VR, but also the origins, issues, and solutions that were chronicled in the pages of CyberEdge Journal. Complemented by over 100 photos and drawings, there is a surprisingly contemporary feel to these old articles. In addition, more than a dozen VR pioneers have contributed new reminiscences of their work in VR.

A lot of people are fuming over today's announcement that Facebook would be buying Palmer Luckey's Oculus. Palmer and company produced two mainstream marketed development kit head mounted displays which became darlings of the grassroots VR/Gamer community. Starting with Kickstarter, Oculus, channeled through Palmer's and later John Carmack's charisma and a hacker friendly attitude, built a loyal and vocal user base, one that championed the ethos of open source and quasi-community development.
Tonight, there's a lot of disappointment and vitrol that Oculus has abandoned the community, and worse yet (from their perspective), sold out to the Devil incarnate. How could Palmer, who just announced the deal on Reddit, have turned his back on the admiring crowds? Who would have thought the Oculus enthusiasts could be turned into a howling mob in the course of a single afternoon?
Were they betrayed? And by who?
It's easy to forget that Oculus funding didn't end with Kickstarter. There's the Venture Capitalists. Unlike the Kickstarter money-for-prototype funding, the VCs were getting equity, board seats, and a preferential position in the decision making process. VCs don't take major stakes unless they receive major control of their target.
So when Oculus was offered $400m in cash plus $1.6B in Facebook stock (plus another $300m incentive bonus), was Palmer really making that call alone? After multiple VC funding rounds and stock incentives to key employees, Palmer must have relatively small minority stake in Oculus, although even so the deal involves a considerable sum for him. But a minority share and non-preferred stock means that his vote is in no way decisive… the Venture Capitalists, led by Andreessen Horowitz, make the big time financial decisions. They invest based on their strategic relationships with potential buyers like Facebook (Andreessen sits on the board of Facebook… no small thing.)
It's only natural that the VCs would push hard for the deal. Inasmuch as Oculus never really had a strategy to rake in 9 figure profits cash on the barrel at huge multiples of their original investment, what's an investor to do? Let's hypothetically (and generously) say that there would have been a 50% chance that Oculus could generate $2B in profits (or other liquid value) within the next 4 years. If the investors were to allow Oculus to remain independent they'd be giving up a certain $2B right now, in exchange for a potential payout down the road. How big would that payout need to be? Well…, in this make-believe scenario the investors are essentially deferring their $2B as a high risk loan. They should then receive interest payments on their loan (the time value of money.) But when you risk other-peoples'-money you must pay the vig. Let's assume 20% per year (that's low… I promise!) So… discounting for the 50% risk and the vig, the VCs need more than $5B in profit on the future bet. That significantly decreases their (50%) chance of success.
Time to take the money and run!
Does that make Palmer Luckey the bad guy? No, it just makes him the guy who took the VC money without realizing that control had also been surrendered. This is a dance that occurs with every venture capital deal; the term sheets have the control clauses permanently etched.
Is the Facebook deal a bad thing? Good thing? Oculus developed technically well conceived and implemented head mounted displays. The VR displays are/were wildly popular with a community of up to 75,000, doubtless enhanced by the ultra-low $300 price tag. They would need to sell tens of millions of units at this price point in order to realize anything like the $2B Facebook offer. Realistically, the price point needed to be double (or triple) in order to have margins comparable to normal consumer electronic gear. I don't see them achieving millions of units sold at $600-$900/unit. Pundits have suggested other unspecified, service based, revenue streams. Lacking the clout of a Facebook/Google sized borg, I don't feel like they could ever reach a critical mass capable of bringing in $5B+ in value (other than equity.)
While the Facebook ethic is the nightmare scenario for the highly independent Oculus community, their alternatives were limited. VCs always rely on the profitability of equity not of product. What will FB do with Oculus? Unknown. But if the Oculus product never makes a single cent, it nonetheless will not die an ugly and horrible cash flow strangulation death; what would certainly have been their fate absent being made part of the borg.

ABC Primetime covers the VR scene in Sept. 1991. Although this news report conflates computer animation footage with Virtual Reality, it also features interviews with Jon Waldern, Fred Brooks, Howard Rheingold, Mike McGreevey, and C L Dodgson (virtually, of course.) With the advantage of hindsight, it's interesting to see which predictions from 23 years ago have panned out and which are way out in left field.
… and from the where-are-they-now club, we get a brief glimpse of video footage from Symbolics Inc. (remember LISP?), a hot up-and-comer in computer graphics back in the day.

Kenya Moore thinks Cynthia Bailey and her husband Peter Thomas may need to work a little harder on their marriage.
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" fans were shocked this week when Peter told Cynthia that he was thinking about getting his own place across town during one of their fights. Viewers asked a collective WTF at the suggestion, but Kenya took her disbelief to her Bravo blog.
"What the hell? A married man of less than 5 years tells his wife he wants a man cave of his own in the form of an apartment across town!" Kenya wrote, adding that she would have handled the situation a little differently. "Cynthia is a better woman than me. I imagine my response to that request would be to pack all of my husband's belongings and throw him out on the curb where he should be for that kind of nonsense."
Although Peter and Cynthia were fighting about her sister Malorie moving in, Kenya believes that she saw a deeper problem that the pair should address. "It appears that the communication in their relationship needs a lot of work. You cannot operate independently when you have a lifetime partnership and commitment with someone," Kenya commented.
And before her critics could slam her for doling out relationship as a single woman, Kenya acknowledged her own unmarried status. She added that one need not be married to know what a successful union needs. "No, I've never been married but I have been in long-term relationships lasting longer than most marriages do," Kenya stated. "So yes, I do understand that communication and honesty is the foundation of ANY relationship. Bar none."

The Last Burlesque
We are thrilled to announce that this summer Pinky Swear will be producing the world première of The Last Burlesque by company member Stephen Spotswood. Developed with Pinky Swear over the last two years, The Last Burlesque is a lush blend of theatre, burlesque, and variety acts set during the final days of a dying burly house.
Darcy spent her childhood roaming the backstage of Val and Vera's Valley of Burlesque, Sideshow, and Assorted Mischief while her parents performed to the delight of sold-out houses. But after Val's death, and a sudden estrangement from Vera, she's spent her adulthood staying as far away as possible.
When she discovers the Valley is on the verge of bankruptcy, Darcy is drawn back to the place she used to call home. There she finds old friends with problems of their own, a new lover who insists on pushing Darcy's boundaries, and a mother struggling not to let her down. But will she find what she's really looking for?

LOS ANGELES – Dion Bailey, USC's most versatile defensive player, might be headed to the NFL early.
Bailey, a fourth-year junior who leads USC with five interceptions this year, said he intended to sit down with his parents Tuesday night and discuss whether to skip his senior year and declare for the NFL draft.
"I'm pretty sure I'll have it figured out this week," Bailey said after Tuesday's practice, "but I probably won't announce anything until after the bowl game. I don't want to be a distraction to the team."
USC plays Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 21.
Bailey is thought to be strongly considering a move to the NFL. He had pro football on his mind last spring when he decided to move from linebacker to safety, the position he is most likely to play in the NFL.
The move worked out well. Bailey has been USC's primary nickel back, and even though he has battled nagging injuries throughout the season, Bailey has been a standout in USC's secondary as a strong tackler with good pass-coverage skills. Bailey ranks fifth on the team this season with 58 total tackles.
Bailey said he has yet to have an in-depth conversation with new USC coach Steve Sarkisian, which would seem to make his 2014 return unlikely, and Bailey seems to be treating the bowl game like an audition.
"I feel like I have an opportunity to showcase a lot of my talents, playing against (Fresno's) receivers," Bailey said, "so I'm definitely going to lock in big time, because I have a great opportunity ahead of me."
Three other USC defensive players – lineman George Uko, linebacker Hayes Pullard and defensive back Josh Shaw – have sought draft evaluations but seem to be leaning toward returning in 2014.
"We're just going to have to look and see what happens," Uko said. "It's a process."
Last week's resignations of interim coach Ed Orgeron and defensive line coach Pete Jenkins have left USC with only eight full-time coaches, including just two full-time defensive coaches. Graduate assistant Ross Cumming, on USC's roster two years ago as a linebacker, is filling in as defensive-line coach.
Other coaches are staying even though they've already been told by Sarkisian that they will not return in 2014. One is linebackers coach Mike Ekeler, whose replacement (Peter Sirmon) has already been hired.
The Baltimore Sun reported Tuesday that Sarkisian has offered the offensive-line coaching position to current Baltimore Ravens assistant offensive line coach Todd Washington. Sarkisian is not expected to retain either of USC's line coaches, Mike Summers or James Cregg.
Sarkisian is looking at the possibility of bringing his defensive coordinator from Washington, Justin Wilcox, to USC, but Wilcox is considered a candidate to be Boise State's next head coach.

28 January 2013 23:00 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Here is Monday's end of day Americas oil and chemical market summary from ICIS.
CRUDE: Mar WTI: $96.44/bbl, up 56 cents; Mar Brent: $113.48/bbl, up 20 cents
NYMEX WTI crude futures recouped early lows and moved into positive territory, tracking a rally in gasoline RBOB futures. Growing investors' optimism regarding an economic recovery provided underlying support.
RBOB: Feb: $2.9348/gal, up 5.94 cents/gal
Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures prices settled higher as Hess said it will exit the refining business and sell its Port Reading refinery in New Jersey as well as its 20 storage terminals in the US and Caribbean.
NATURAL GAS: Feb: $3.289/MMBtu, down 15.5 cents
The front month contract on the NYMEX natural gas futures market started the new trading week by dropping 4.5% to hit a 12-day low. Near-term demand expectations fell on the back of overnight weather forecasts predicting warmer than average weather extending across most of the lower 48 states into mid-February.
ETHANE: lower at 23.55 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices tumbled for the first time in over a week on a continued supply overhang.
AROMATICS: benzene tighter at $4.73-4.78/gal
Prompt benzene for February was heard tighter at $4.73-4.78/gal FOB, compared with $4.70-4.82/gal earlier in the day as offers continued to fall on weaker demand.

Re: SUNDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Dave Malinsky
Royals (RL) @ Rays (RL)
PICK: Rays (RL) 4*
After cashing a pair of easy tickets in the first two games of this series, with the Rays out-scoring the Royals 14-2, and out-hitting them 22-9, it should be no surprise at all that we are coming right back here. And given the pitching matchup, asking for a win by multiple runs is not asking much at all.
Sorry for being redundant on some of the details, but the bottom line is that the marketplace just refuses to properly catch up with a Tampa Bay team that is now on an incredible 31-6 run at home, despite the fact that 29 of those games came against teams that currently sport winning records. And with 20 of those wins coming by two runs or more, despite the quality of the competition, it shows us that a pick'em range for our methods today is more than fair.
If the Rays as a team have had to take on tough competition, naturally it means the same for their pitching staff, and James Shields has certainly not been an exception to that rule. There are 139 pitchers that have worked at least 60 innings so far, and his difficulty of batters faced checks in at #10 (as always, we use On Base + Slugging as our barometer). That means that he is even better than the base numbers show, and from this mound he has been a stifling 4-1/2.08. Among those victims have been division leaders like the Cubs, Angels and White Sox, and he has also beaten the Red Sox twice in A.L. East play. His only loss? A tough 2-1 defeat vs. the Yankees that was hardly his fault.
Note just what the Shields vs. Scott Hochevar matchup means here - Tampa Bay has dominated those first two games despite having the bottom of the Ray rotation facing two of the top three Kansas City arms. Now the balance shifts, with Tampa Bay stepping to a higher level, and the mediocre Hochevar (5.70 ERA on the road) facing a difficult challenge. Hochevar is a ground ball pitcher that now has to deal with the faster playing surface here with a defense behind him that is nothing special, and the speed of the Rays on the base paths (John Buck is having an awful time throwing runners out) accentuates all of those problems.

Vegas Runner Freebie
If there wasn't a side wager that I like even more, this may have very well been our 3* TOTAL for Sunday's action and if the number stayed at 9, it probably still would have...This one sets up perfectly after such a low scoring game last night and we were actually ready to take a stand on OVER 10, and when I saw that they opened this one up at 9, it became even clearer what the oddsmakers were thinking...And so far, all of the books I've spoken too have said the same thing...The public perception is definately pointing to a low scoring game again, and they are backing it with cash...But all work points to an ez OVER this afternoon in Milwaukee, so lets see if we can CASH our "7th STRAIGHT FREE WAGER"
Re: SUNDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons
SD / Ariz Over
With Josh Banks of the Padres showing a 2.89 ERA so far this season, it is helping to give us some line value with this over. The fact is that Banks isnt pitching nearly as well as he was earlier this season and, as a result, we can step in and take advantage. Banks has lost each of his last three starts and he has a 5.74 ERA during this rough stretch. The Padres have now lost each of Banks last four starts and San Diegos best hope today is to give the right-hander plenty of run support and that they should do! Thats because the Pads will be matched up with a struggling Randy Johnson of the Diamondbacks. The veteran left-hander has not been able to get on track as he continues to get pounded in nearly all of his recent outings. Johnson is 0-6 with a 7.94 ERA in his last six starts. Overall, the Dbacks have lost each of Johnsons last eight starts. Even though he has great career numbers against the Padres he certainly is not the same pitcher he use to be and that is the key here. Johnson struggled in his home start versus the Padres earlier this season and San Diego has scored nine runs in winning the first two games of this series. Even though Johnson is 3-3 at Chase Field this season, he has a 7.17 ERA at home. This is why the Padres should once again enjoy success against him at Chase Field this afternoon. However, with Banks on the mound for the Padres, and a subpar bullpen backing him up, this one should be a back and forth high scoring match-up! The OVER is the play in Arizona on Sunday!
Re: SUNDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Nite Owl Sports
Game: New York Mets @ Philadelphia Phillies
Pick: 3 units New York Mets +109
We like the Mets at plus odds here to beat Philly and take this series, based on Mets' recent scoring punch and a favorable pitching match-up in this game. First, the Mets match up well with Philly starter Kendrick, who they already crushed, 8-2, earlier this season, in Philly. But that was not just a coincidence, given that Kendrick is a contact and groundball pitcher, and Mets have been pounding those types TY (5 RPG vs contact pitchers and 5.7 RPG vs GB pitchers). For that reason, as well as the occasional unpredictability of Mets starter Perez, we recommend putting most of your Mets money on the Mets over 4.5 on individual team totals line (in other words, betting that the Mets will score 5> runs, regardless of how many runs Philly scores or even who wins the game).This should not be too daunting of a task for the Mets, who have plated 7> runs in 6 of their last 11 games, including 9 in saturday's game, in which they shredded the Philly bullpen for 6 runs in last two innings to break open a close game. Mets are also better away in day games (10-7) than away at night (11-19).
Mets starter Oliver Perez has held Philly at bay not only TY (having already pitched 11 scoreless innings against them, including 6 in Philly), but also throughout his career pitching in Philly, where he has a 3-1 record. So although Philly hits LHPs well at home (6.3 RPG), the fact that they struggle vs power pitchers like Perez (hitting only 3.8 RPG against them) partially explains their fultility against him so f ar TY.However, before we get too carried away singing the praises of Perez, we should also mention that he throws in a real "stinker' once in awhile, and you never know quite when he will let you down. For that reason, we limit this pick to three units, and we repeat that if you have access to individual team totals lines, we believe the better betting angle is to bet Mets over 4.5 runs for 2-3 units and Mets for one or two units to win the game.

What Are They Reading?
Journeys Through the Chilean North.
By Ariel Dorfman.
National Geographic Directions. 283 pp. $21.
I've never had a strong appetite for travel literature. Perhaps it's because I've never been on an airplane or have spent too many years spoiled by my native New Yorker status, too content to cast aside my provincial why-go-anywhere-else attitude. But there's always been one place I have wanted to go: my father's country, Chile. Ariel Dorfman's Desert Memories, published through National Geographic's "Literary Travel Series," has brought me a step closer to that elusive destination. The Chilean poet, essayist, novelist and playwright dons the cap of memoirist and weaves a satisfying narrative account of his journey home. But Dorfman offers readers more than a hopscotch across far-flung locales and delves into Chile's rich, tortured political history, by default a journey into the realm of ghosts and memory.
My father was born in the port city of Valparaíso, verdant compared to the sun-baked terrain of the country's northern section, which boasts the world's driest desert. But like many who faced crippling unemployment in the late 1960s and early '70s, he wandered north in search of work. Many of the characters we meet in Dorfman's book are similarly detoured figures, people who stay far longer in the dusty desert towns of El Norte Grande than first intended. For four years my father worked in Chile's salitreras, nitrate towns, before the prospect of a brutal life capped by an early death from mining-related afflictions like silicosis forced him to move on.
Multiple circumstances motivate Dorfman's "voyage to the origins," including his wife's ancestral roots in El Norte Grande, his own hurried trip through the desert more than forty years ago and the never-found body of his murdered friend Freddy Taberna, disappeared during Chile's 1973 coup. Dorfman's journey is about paying respects, remembering those sacrificed during the tumultuous events that wrenched modern Chile into existence. Throughout he discovers traces of the exploitation that facilitated such "progress," in the graves of dead miners and the recollections of those still living, casualties of the nitrate boom and bust who made Chile rich and then were evicted from the towns they (quite literally) gave their lives to. Wrested from Peru and Bolivia in the nineteenth century, El Norte Grande didn't even belong to Chile but would birth the labor reforms that activists like Dorfman fought and died for during the Allende years.
In this quest for origins, Dorfman delivers complex geographical information with lyrical simplicity while keeping the thread of his story intact. His poetic impulses evince themselves in vivid descriptions of the arid land, the hard, impenetrable mineral rock pried from unyielding mountains and the white-hot flames that purify the ore during the smelting process. He suffuses the text with meditations on the human condition and shows reverence for both the ancient and recently deceased. In his warm, textured portrait of ill-fated friend Freddy Taberna, Dorfman never oversteps his bounds or drifts into sentimentality, though the diarylike entries and present-tense narration occasionally threaten to break the spell he casts over readers.
Desert Memories never shies from grappling with the ironies of Chile's "doubly tormented history," one that has seen archeologists excavate the bodies of dead friends and a government that once converted defunct nitrate towns into concentration camps for its political prisoners, heaping another layer of wreckage onto ruins already saturated with human suffering. Ultimately, the book surpasses its modest aim of travel and succeeds in its own right as a project of recovery and preservation, confronting the indifference Chile has often shown to the less glorious aspects of its national history. Dorfman's work has insured that all spectral inhabitants of Chile's abandoned ghost towns will no longer live on in memory alone.
