Page-Wood V-C
The court considered the limits on a power of expulsion from a partnership. Held: (Page-Wood V-C) Construing the articles, two-thirds of the partners could expel a partner by serving a notice upon him without holding any meeting or giving any reason. But the power must be exercised in good faith: "the literal construction of these articles cannot be enforced" and, after citing from the title "De Societate" in Justinian's Institutes, went on: "It must be plain that you can neither exercise a power of this description by dissolving the partnership nor do any other act for purposes contrary to the plain general meaning of the deed, which must be this, that the power is inserted, not for the benefit of any particular parties holding two-thirds of the shares but for the benefit of the whole society and partnership . . ." In the Australian case of In re Wondoflex Textiles Pty. Ltd. [1951] V.L.R. 458, 467, Smith J. also contrasted the literal meaning of the articles with the true intentions of the parties: "It is also true, I think, that, generally speaking, a petition for winding up, based upon the partnership analogy, cannot succeed if what is complained of is merely a valid exercise of powers conferred in terms by the articles. . . . To hold otherwise would enable a member to be relieved from the consequences of a bargain knowingly entered into by him. . . . But this, I think, is subject to an important qualification. Acts which, in law, are a valid exercise of powers conferred by the articles may nevertheless be entirely outside what can fairly be regarded as having been in the contemplation of the parties when they became members of the company; and in such cases the fact that what has been done is not in excess of power will not necessarily be an answer to a claim for winding up. Indeed, it may be said that one purpose of [the just and equitable provision] is to enable the court to relieve a party from his bargain in such cases."

Company, Equity
A father devised his estate to trustees for a term, for them to pay a residue of rents from that estate to his sons as tenants in common; but the reversion of the estate he devised to his sons as joint tenants. The question was whether the joint tenancy of the reversion had been severed because the sons, during the term, had used the estate in their partnership trade as brewers. Held: They had not, and so the surviving son took the whole of the reversion, subject to the term.

Andrewes -v- Garstin (1861) 10 CB (NS) 444
Erle CJ
The plaintiff sued for breach of an agreement to enter into a partnership with the defendant, who pleaded that previously the plaintiff had carried on trade in partnership with another person, and that the defendant made the agreement on the faith and under the belief that the plaintiff had up to that time acted with honesty towards his previous partner. But after the making of the agreement the defendant discovered that the plaintiff had before the time of making the agreement acted with fraud and dishonesty towards his partner, and did not disclose it. Held: The plea was no answer to the action. The defendants arguments would have been addressed with more plausibility if the plea had been a little more specific. There was no suggestion of fraud on the defendant and as to the rest it was much too vague and uncertain.

Partners had conducted their practice over many years in a manner inconsistent with the spirit if not the exact letter of their partnership articles. Stock was to be taken every year, and the value entered into the books to be signed off by each partner. On the last occasion a partner being ill did not sign the accounts, and later died. He had not expressed any dissatisfaction with the accounts. Held: His estate was bound by the accounts as if he had signed them. The firm had each year set aside a certain sum against contingencies. The deceased partner's estate was entitled to the return of his share in the fund.

In re Moseley-Green Coal and Coke Co Ltd, Ex parte Barrett (1865) 12 LT (NS) 193
Lord Westbury LC
Insolvency, Company
Mr Barrett owed the company money on his partly-paid shares for which calls were made after it went into insolvent liquidation. He had also guaranteed the company's liability for the purchase price of a coal mine, for which the vendor held security in the form of a mortgage and the company's promissory note. After the winding up Mr Barrett's sister paid off the vendor and took over the mortgage and promissory note. Mr Barrett then entered into an arrangement which was treated as a payment of the company's debt and he took over the promissory note. Held: He was entitled to set off the debt on the promissory note against his liability to pay calls on his shares.

Re The Bahia and San Francisco Railway Co Ltd -v- Trittin and others (1868) LR 3 QB 584
Lord Cockburn CJ, Blackburn J, Lush J, Mellor J
Company, Estoppel
Miss Trittin left her share certificates with a broker. A forged transfer together with the certificates, was lodged with and with registered by the company. The new certificates certified that the named person as registered holder. He then sold them to innocent purchasers who in turn lodged transfers and certificates and obtained certificates in their own names. The company had become obliged to restore Miss Trittin's name to the register but refused to recognise the innocent purchasers as shareholders. A special case was stated for the opinion of the Court between the innocent purchasers as claimants and the company for the purpose of determining the amount of damages (if any) which the company was liable to pay them respectively. Held: The claimant succeeded.
Lord Cockburn CJ: "This power of granting certificates is to give the shareholders the opportunity of more easily dealing with their shares in the market, and to afford facilities to them of selling their shares by at once showing a marketable title, and the effect of this facility is to make the shares of greater value. The power of giving certificates is, therefore, for the benefit of the company in general; and it is a declaration by the company to all the world that the person in whose name the certificate is made out, and to whom it is given, is a shareholder in the company, and it is given by the company with the intention that it shall be so used by the person to whom it is given, and acted upon in the sale and transfer of shares. It is stated in this case that the claimants acted bona fide, and did all that is required of purchasers of shares; they paid the value of the shares in money on having a transfer of the shares executed to them, and on the production of the certificates which were handed to them. It turned out that the transferors had in fact no shares, and that the company ought not to have registered them as shareholders or given them certificates, the transfer to them being a forgery. That brings the case within the principle of the decision in Pickard v- Sears [6 AD & E 469] as explained by the case of Freeman v- Cooke [2 Ex 654] that if you make a representation with the intention that it shall be acted upon by another, and he does so, you are estopped from denying the truth of what you represent to be the fact."
Blackburn J referred to the Companies Act and said:- "The statute further provides that the company may give certificates specifying the shares held by the member; and the object of this provision is expressly stated to be that this certificate should be prima facie evidence of the title of the person named to the shares specified; and the company, therefore, by granting the certificate, do make a statement that they have transferred the shares specified to the person to whom it is given, and that he is the holder of the shares. If they have been deceived and the statement is not perfectly true, they may not be guilty of negligence, but the company and no-one else have power to enquire into the matter; and it was the intention of the legislature that these certificates should be documents on which buyers might safely act," and " . it is quite clear that a statement of a fact was made by the company, on which the company, at the very least, knew that persons wanting to purchase shares might act."
Lush J referred to the certificate given by the company to the fraudsters:- "And the claimants having acted on this statement by the company, there arises an estoppel as against the company, prohibiting them from denying that what it states is true. And the question then is, what does the certificate mean? Does it mean merely, that [the fraudsters' names] are on the register, and the company have done their best to ascertain that they are entitled to the shares, but cannot say whether they are so entitled? Or does it amount to a statement that the company take upon themselves the responsibility of asserting that they are the registered shareholders entitled to the specific shares? I think the certificate must amount to the latter assertion. It is the company who are to keep and look after the register, and they are the only persons who have control over it, and they can refuse to register a person until he shews that he is legally entitled. Having, therefore, put the names of [the fraudsters] upon the register, and granted them a certificate, the company are estopped after that statement has been acted upon and cannot deny that those persons were the legal holders of the particular shares which have been transferred to the claimants. The claimants, therefore, are entitled to recover from the company the value of the shares at the time when they were deprived of them."

The company had charged its "undertaking and all sums of money arising therefrom". Held: "undertaking" meant " all the property of the company, not only which existed at the date of the debenture, but which might afterwards become the property of the company." and the word "undertaking" " necessarily infers that the company will go on, and that the debenture holder could not interfere until either the interest which was due was unpaid, or until the period had arrived for the payment of his principal, and that principal was unpaid".

Although a right to participate in the profits of a Trade is a strong test of partnership, and there may be cases where, from such perception alone, it may as a presumption, not of law, but of fact, be enforced, yet, whether that relation does or does not exist, must depend on the real intention and contract of the parties

Jessel MR: "Again, directors are called trustees. They are no doubt trustees of assets which have come into their hands, or which are under their control, but they are not trustees of a debt due to the company. The company is the creditor, and, as I said before, they are only the managing partners. In my opinion it is extravagant to call them trustees of a debt when it has not been received. You may of course have an actual trust of a debt, as in the case I put before, where trustees have assigned to them a debt to get in, but that is not the case with directors of a company. A director is the managing partner of the concern, and although a debt is due to the concern I do not think it is right to call him a trustee of that debt which remains unpaid, though his liability in respect of it may in certain cases and in some respects be analogous to the liability of a trustee."

Estoppel, Company
A firm which had acted through nominees sought to raise an estoppel as to its status on the company registers. Held: The nominees acquired a "title by estoppel" against the company following the issue by the company of a share certificate to the nominees. But that "title" had been lost by the time the action began and was not available to Burge & Co. No representation was made which they had acted upon. Even if there had been a representation, that firm had not altered their position in any material way.

Brett LJ
Investors subscribed for shares in telegraph companies which they vested in trustees to manage the investment on certain terms. A question arose whether this arrangement contravened section 4 of the 1862 Act which prohibited the formation of an association consisting of more than 20 persons "for the purpose of carrying on any business that has for its object the acquisition of gain" unless it was registered in accordance with the Act. Held (inter alia) Brett LJ said that the expression "carrying on" implied a repetition of acts and excluded the case of an association formed for doing one particular act which was never to be repeated.

Even though a company's directors may act in good faith for a purpose which is ostensibly within their powers, the court may intervene in exceptional circumstances: "Bona fides cannot be the sole test, otherwise you might have a lunatic conducting the affairs of the company, and paying away its money with both hands in a manner perfectly bona fide yet perfectly irrational."

Shaw -v- The Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Company Ltd [1884] 34 QB 103
Steven J
A company secretary was to procure execution of certificates of shares in accordance with prescribed formalities. A certificate was issued and presented by the secretary in favour of a purchaser in the usual form with signature of director and secretary and bearing the company's seal. But the signature of the director appended was, in fact, a forgery made by the secretary. The seal had also been affixed without authority of the board. The purchaser in due course lodged the share certificates as security and executed a transfer in favour of the plaintiff. Both purchaser and plaintiff acted throughout in good faith. The company argued that the signature of the director being forged, the whole document was a nullity. Held. The forgery being by its own employee, the company could not reject the transfers.
Steven J said: "It is said in answer that here the secretary carried out his fraud by means of forgery. It appears to me that this fact does not make any material difference. The defendants' counsel said it did make a difference on the ground, so far as I understand his argument, that nothing can give validity to a forged instrument as against anybody. That does not seem to me to be the case, and I think the authorities cited for the plaintiff are applicable. The company appear in this case to have prescribed certain formalities with regard to the use of the seal and the issue of certificates. The certificate is to be signed by a director and the secretary. In the present case it apparently does comply with those formalities; it is apparently so signed, and it is I stated to be in the usual and authorised form. The company made it the duty of the secretary to procure the preparation, execution, and signature of certificates with the prescribed formalities, and thereupon to issue them to the persons entitle to receive them. They thereby gave the secretary the opportunity of doing what he has done in this case. A person can inform himself whether the certificate comes from the secretary because he gets it from the secretary's office, but I do not see how, according to any practicable course of business, he can go behind the certificate and ascertain for himself such matters as whether the signature of the director is genuine. It appears to me, therefore, that the company have authorised the secretary, and made it his official duty, to act in such a way that his acts amount to a warranty by them of the genuineness of the certificate issued by him. For these reasons I think the question put to us should be answered in favour of the plaintiff."
Matthew J commented: "I am of the same opinion, on the ground that the company is responsible for the fraud committed by its agent while acting within the ordinary scope of his employment. Upon the statements contained in the case I cannot doubt that it was within the scope of their secretary's employment to do what he did here. It is stated to have been the duty of the secretary to procure the execution of the certificate with the prescribed formalities, and to issue it to the person entitled thereto. It is obviously indispensable in the ordinary course of business that the secretary should perform these duties, and it never could have been contemplated that the purchaser of shares should himself ascertain that each of the prescribed formalities had, in fact, been complied with. It seems to me, therefore, that the secretary is held out by the company as their agent to warrant the genuineness of the certificate. It was argued by the counsel for the defendants that the fact that the certificate was a forgery prevented their being liable for the act of their agent, but he failed, as it appeared to me, to establish any difference for this purpose between a fraud carried out by means of forgery and any other fraud. For these reasons I am of the opinion that our judgment should be for the plaintiff."

The mortgagor of a quarry defaulted, and the mortgagees took possession. They were unable to sell the quarry, but formed a company which bought the quarry at a proper value. The mortgagor sought to set aside the sale. Held: A mortgagee in possession exercises a personal right primarily in his own interests as a mortgagee, The self-dealing rule applies in that a mortgagee cannot exercise the power to sell to himself or to a nominee or to a company of which he is the sole director and shareholder, but he can sell to a company in which he has a significant interest but the onus lies on him to justify the terms of sale. The mortgagees had shown that the sale was made in good faith, and at a proper price; with the consequence that the sale stood.

A deed of transfer of shares did not pass the legal interest to the transferee until it was delivered to the secretary of the company. It was held that the transfer did not take effect until it had been left with the secretary and accepted by him. On the first occasion it was rejected because it was not properly stamped. The transfer had to be properly stamped in order to make the transfer effectual as between the company and the transferee. The legal title to the stock remained with the transferors until then. Accordingly, effectual delivery to the company is required

"What is the proper construction of that statute? It makes the majority of the creditors or of a class of creditors bind the minority: it exercises a most formidable compulsion upon dissentient, or would-be dissentient, creditors; and it therefore requires to be construed with care, so as not to place in the hands of some of the creditors the means and opportunity of forcing dissentients to do that which it is unreasonable to require them to do, or of making a mere jest of the interests of the minority. " and "The word "class" is vague, and to find out what is meant by it we must look at the scope of the section, which is a section enabling the court to order a meeting of a class of creditors to be called. It seems plain that we must give such a meaning to the term "class" as will prevent the section being so worked as to result in confiscation and injustice, that it must be confined to those persons whose rights are not so dissimilar as to make it impossible for them to consult together with a view to their common interest.

But although that is so, it has always been held that the desire to assist in the main liquidation - the desire to act as ancillary to the court where the main liquidation is going on - will not ever make the court give up the forensic rules which govern the conduct of its own liquidation."(

A L Smith LJ, Chitty LJ
Company, Litigation Practice
The court discussed the joinder of the company in a derivative action. A L Smith LJ said: "That in the circumstances of this case the company are necessary parties to the suit I do not doubt, for without the company being made a party to the action it could not proceed" because "the company must be party to the suit in order to be bound by the result of the action and to receive the money received in the action." Also, "what is recovered cannot be paid to the plaintiff representing the minority, but must go into the coffers of the company."
Chitty LJ said: "To such an action as this the company are necessary defendants. The reason is obvious: the wrong alleged is done to the company, and the company must be party to the suit in order to be bound by the result of the action and to receive the money recovered in the action. If the company were not bound they could bring a fresh action for the same cause if the action failed, and there were subsequently a change in the board of directors and in the voting power. Obviously in such action as this is, no specific relief is asked against the company; and obviously, too, what is recovered cannot be paid to the plaintiff representing the minority, but must go into the coffers of the company. It was argued for the appellants that the company were made a party for the purpose of discovery only, and authorities were cited to shew that when no relief is asked against a party he cannot or ought not to be compelled to make discovery. But this argument and these authorities have no bearing on the present case, where, as already shewn, the action cannot proceed in the absence of the defendant company, and the defendant company are interested in and will be bound by the results".

Lagunas Nitrate Co -v- Lagunas Syndicate [1899] 2 Ch 392
Lindley MR
The standard of behaviour expected of a company director was described: "As directors, I am not aware that there is any difference between their legal and their equitable duties. If directors act within their powers, if they act with such care as is reasonably to be expected from them, having regard to their knowledge and experience, and if they act honestly for the benefit of the company they represent, they discharge both their equitable as well as their legal duty to the company. In this case they clearly acted within their powers: they did nothing ultra vires: fraud is not imputed. The inquiry, therefore, is reduced to want of care and bona fides with a view to the interests of the nitrate company. The amount of care to be taken is difficult to define; but it is plain that directors are not liable for all the mistakes they may make, although if they had taken more care they might have avoided them: see Overend, Gurney & Co. v. Gibb. Their negligence must be not the omission to take all possible care; it must be much more blameable than that: it must be in a business sense culpable or gross."

Wanda Hodge and her community won a "Lands Unsuitable For Mining" (LUMP) designation for the Rock Creek watershed, which is part of Walden's Ridge. This has kept the area safe for the past 20 years. But today, the threat has returned and coal companies are working hard to overturn the LUMP designation. If this were overturned the entire area of Walden's Ridge would be open to heavy mountaintop removal mining.

Carlos Cantina & GrillRead MoreEvery business begins with a dream that takes its owner on a proverbial journey. Victor Sanchez did things a little bit backwards. He was out on the open road, rumbling along on a transcontinental motorcycle adventure to Argentina, and he crossed path with his muse: food. Victor fell so in love with the exotic cuisines he sampled throughout Mexico and South America that he vowed to share them with his Canadian neighbors. Instead of starting from the ground up, Victor expedited the process. He purchased Carlos Cantina & Grill, a local hotspot with a solid reputation for tasty Mexican food. Though he vowed to preserve the menu that made the eatery so popular, Victor payed homage to the trip that started it all. He's added monthly South American specialties to the lineup of tacos, chimichangas, and chicken mole in a homemade sauce. He recruited a team of chefs that craft flavourful burritos and enchiladas for people of all culinary inclinations—noting on the menu which entrees are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. Tangy margaritas and fire extinguishers filled with guacamole are always available to cool off tongues as guests dine amid brightly patterned tablecloths and warm adobe walls.9816 4th St.Sidney, BC CA
Danielle's Paint-Your-Own Pottery StudioRead MoreAfter years in the IT industry, Danielle was ready for a change. Her tech-based clients seemed to be in perpetually foul moods, and she longed for days filled with smiles and the occasional inspirational conversation. She had always loved to paint, so opening her paint-your-own pottery studio felt like a natural way to fuse her passion for art with her desire to interact with people in a helpful way. Only one more thing was standing in the way of bringing her dream to life: a business partner, which she quickly found in her daughter Jennifer. Together, this mother-and-daughter team runs Danielle's Glass Fusing and Contemporary Ceramics Studio. To inspire creativity in others, they stock the studio's shelves with more than 300 bisque pieces, including mugs, bowls, and figurines. The pair guides artists through the creation process, helping them use stamps, stencils, and each other's ponytails to paint personal masterpieces. When not glazing and firing their customers' finished artwork, the duo also teaches classes on fused glass and hosts special events such as birthday parties.9774 Third StreetSidney, BC CA
Curves - VictoriaRead MoreAs they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby, trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity. In 2014, Curves partnered with celebrity fitness expert Jillian Michaels to design a new take on its traditional circuit. These workouts incorporate functional bodyweight exercises?each with modifications?into the existing sequence, providing a slightly more intense gym experience intended to jump-start metabolisms while still forging lean, toned muscles.2355 Millstream Rd.Langford, BC CA
Fresh Cup Roastery CafeRead MoreFresh Cup Roastery Cafe owner Jim Townley professes the gospel of single-origin coffees whose flavours can "stand on their own." He imports organic beans from farmer-run co-ops in countries as far-flung as Indonesia, Peru, and Ethiopia. The beans release bold, nuanced flavours as they roast in the café's proprietary Roastaire. Fresh Cup also conducts tours of its roasting facilities to prove that the environmentally friendly roaster doesn't resort to dark, medium, or light magic. A team of engineers designed the roaster to conserve heat energy with a closed-loop system while precise controls produce consistent quality, eliminating the worry of burnt beans or hyper-caffeination. Baristas stir the hearts of coffee lovers with artisanal touches such as house-mulled cider and the house-made caramel sauce that sweetens macchiatos. Wholesome ingredients such as organic flour and local free-range eggs make their way into soups, quiches, and panini sandwiches.1931 Mount Newton Cross RdSaanichton, BC CA

Art books: Mechanical design?
I am looking for books that cover the topics of the fundamentals of mechanical design in art, specifically the techniques or thinking used in creating complex mechanical designs like humaniform robots, mecha or complex vehicles (tanks, armored cars, etc.).
I've checked out the various forums and perused threads like the 2008 Robotics thread as well as the Reading List thread, but I've been unable to find what I'm looking for. I checked out some of the videos uploaded by Feng Zhu on his site, but those deal with media techniques during mechanical design and not the fundamentals of "how" to design a convincing machine.
Perhaps it is just a limitation of my imagination, but I'd hope it isn't. :p
If any of you can point me in the right direction, I'd be quite grateful. Cheers!

Neuromancer fan? The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is Mechanika by Doug Chiang. It's my drawer at the moment, but I remember it having quite a few things on designing robots and such. It also covered a lot of pen and marker work, which was interesting, as it doesn't seem to come up too often in books these days. It is a good book. If that doesn't hit the spot, then I think it's just a case of experience and study. Understand your subject matter.
If you want to design a tank, then work out why real tanks look the way they do. The armour is often angled or sloped because it makes it harder to munitions to penetrate. I believe those cages you see around the vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan are designed to detonate RPG warheads prematurely before they can penetrate the vehicles themselves. Others are covered in those 'bricks', which are actually explosive pockets designed to detonate when hit by missiles and defeat the warhead. It's all designed for purpose first, not looks.
I say this as a viewer, and not a designer. I have no design experience, but nothing makes me groan more in entertainment media than when I see something that looks like it would never work, and the designer has become fixated on making something look cool.
Edit: Do take what I say with a pinch of salt. Somebody else will likely have more useful advice. I get very excited at the mention of tanks.

As long as it fits your vision, it doesn't matter how others design their machines(they followed their own vision). If you don't have a vision, that is another problem.
I take vision, in art, to mean the formation of a general scheme, mood, and composition of a picture apart than its specific details. The specific details are sought after through references, which the artist may manipulate or change to fit his vision.
Vision can be generated from reference images, pictures, novels, or music, and of which do not necessarily require direct to be stimuli, but can be "stimuli" from your knowledge and "visual library", as Feng Zhu puts it. E.g., remembering moments in your life, even though not particularly specific, can be enough to give you the vision of an idea whether for a painting or a story.
The only accuracy involved in imaginary concepts are when they pertain to real world objects. An imaginary machine made of metal should follow the nature of metal found in the real world, and in which case you should learn how to draw metallic objects if you don't know how to, and you can do that by starting to draw something metallic. It might also help to read about the behaviors of light on different surfaces.

I realized that I needed to figure how machines worked first and then I was able to apply what I learned to my designs.
I recommend this video on simple machines
And the following book:
These might be a bit too "sciencey", but they did help me out a ton. Good luck!!

Books like this can be really helpful. There's no better inspiration for imaginary machines if you can look into real ones.
Here's the example of tank cross-section for polish edition of 30-page series. Unfortunately it's not published anymore.

Thanks for the great suggestions!
The video posted by Charlie D is along the lines of what I'm looking for, becaues the initial steps of designing something are what I've had the most trouble with.
I tend to try and put too much detail in too early and not sketch enough general overall shapes which leads me to half-finished or ill-thought designs. It's something I've been struggling to overcome for a while and I haven't quite found my mojo with any particular technique.
Farvus: Great suggestion with the cross-sections! I use a lot of stuff like that for reference already. Here's one of the best ones I've ever found.

Same here. It's pretty random for me. Somedays I'll feel great when I get to class, then crash and burn as soon as the physical activity starts. Some days I'll feel tired as hell, but when I get started I feel like I could go all night. Same thing with lifting. Damn if I know.
Do you get enough sleep?

I have been able to overcome this by eating whole grains with every meal and drinking tea an hour before training. This has helped me out a lot, but I still have a few nights every now and then where all I can do is just bridge and try not to be submitted. Energy (lack of it) can be a real bitch.

Anthony, what supplements, if any do you take with your diet? Fish/flax oil? Multis? Vitamin C?? BTW, it's not one source but many (Charles Poliquin among them) that recommend taking vitamin C (500mg to 1000mg) an hour before doing any type of strenous exercise.
Some food for thought. Really, unless your dinner is large and well-balanced, I'm sure you are under-eating.

What everyone else said: more meals over the course of the day, more good fats, some nice slow-burn carbs 1.5 hours or so before you train.

The nominations for this year's Academy Awards were announced this morning, and here's how it all shakes out:
Best director
Michael Haneke, "Amour"; Benh Zeitlin, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"; Ang Lee, "Life of Pi"; Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln"; David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook"
This category has the most shocks of any.
No Ben Affleck? Sacrilege! "Argo" was one of the best movies of the year, due in no small part to Affleck's ability to balance the drama in Iran with the satirical scenes in Hollywood.
And I'd probably be more outraged about Kathryn Bigelow's being left off if I had actually seen the film. (It's FINALLY coming to southeastern Connecticut this Friday. I'm expecting to feel outraged over her omission this weekend.) But, based on the slew of glowing reviews for "Zero Dark Thirty," Bigelow wuz robbed.
I can see why they left out Tom Hooper for "Les Miserables"; his direction was all over the place.
Nominating Ang Lee's direction of "Life of Pi"? His work was wildly overrated. Yes, "Pi" was a challenging work to bring to the screen, but the resulting movie was middling at best. Pretty to look at, sure, but middling.
Best picture
"Amour," "Argo," "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Django Unchained," "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Zero Dark Thirty."
This category can fill out to 10 nominees if the films earn enough votes. This year, it reached nine. And rightly so. This was a good year for movies. Two smaller, critically acclaimed films that fans were worried might not make it into the mix did — the French "Amour" (probably the biggest unexpected inclusion here) and "Beasts of the Southern Wild." Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" hadn't been a sure thing, either. "The Impossible" didn't make the cut, as some thought it would.
Best actor
Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln"; Bradley Cooper, "Silver Linings Playbook"; Hugh Jackman, "Les Miserables"; Joaquin Phoenix, "The Master"; Denzel Washington, "Flight"
Joaquin Phoenix for "The Master"? Blech! I hated the movie and hated his performance as a weirdo (yes, that's my technical term for it) who, an alcoholic, falls under the spell of a cult leader. John Hawkes deserved that slot instead for playing a man confined to an iron lung who wants to experience sex in "The Sessions." Not that it matters — Daniel Day-Lewis, as honest Abe, has this category all locked up.
Best actress
Jessica Chastain, "Zero Dark Thirty"; Jennifer Lawrence, a "Silver Linings Playbook"; Emmanuelle Riva, "Amour"; Quvenzhane Wallis, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"; Naomi Watts, "The Impossible."
Just as their movies were pleasant, relatively surprise nominees, so is the fact that both Riva, as an elderly, ailing woman, and Wallis, a young girl living in the wilds of Louisiana, are up for best actress.
Supporting actor
Alan Arkin, "Argo"; Robert De Niro, "Silver Linings Playbook"; Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Master"; Tommy Lee Jones, "Lincoln"; Christoph Waltz, "Django Unchained"
This is pretty much the lineup that was expected, although I would have been happy if John Goodman had nabbed a nom for "Argo" for playing a Hollywood helper to Ben Affleck's CIA agent. Between "Argo," "Flight" and "Trouble with the Curve," Goodman had a great year.
Supporting actress
Amy Adams, "The Master"; Sally Field, "Lincoln"; Anne Hathaway, "Les Miserables"; Helen Hunt, "The Sessions"; Jacki Weaver, "Silver Linings Playbook"
The only slight surprise here is Weaver (who was wonderful as the tremulous, often-tearily-on-the-edge mom in a dysfunctional family). She beat out eternal Oscar fave Maggie Smith, who had been talked up for her role in "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."
The Oscars will be handed out on Feb. 24.

Gear Review
trash after a couple months
I have had these shoes since august and they have already stretched a full size it seems like. They fit great for the first month and held edges well. now my feet are loose in them and the last is way to soft. Can no longer edge well which is the reason I bought this shoe. The "faceted edge technology" only helps for the first month and then the rubber is worn down enough that you can't even see the "edge" any more. Shoe doesn't breath. By the end of a couple climbs the shoes are almost soaked through. This shoe is not worth the price!!!

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A former assistant athletics director at
the University of Kansas is requesting a medical delay before he
begins a prison term for taking part in a $2 million ticket
scalping conspiracy.
Rodney Jones has been told by the U.S. Marshals Service to
report May 2 to prison in El Reno, Okla., to begin his 46-month
His attorney filed a motion Wednesday asking for 30-day
extension so Jones may undergo orthopedic surgery and recuperate.
Jones pleaded guilty in January to a single count of conspiracy
to defraud the United States through wire fraud, tax obstruction
and interstate transportation of stolen property.
Jones also was ordered to pay $1.3 million in restitution.
Prosecutors say he spent the money on an ``extensive rolling party
scene'' that lasted five years.

Originally written on Hoop Fantasies Fantasy Basketball Blog | Last updated 1/13/13
King Kong Bundy is hinting that he could be the second member of WWE's 2013 Hall of Fame class. "Sounds like someone listened to the #Bundyholics regarding my Hall of Fame," the monstrous heel who battled Hulk Hogan in a steel cage at WrestleMania 2 wrote on Twitter. "Huge announcement tomorrow night #FIVE." That would indicate an announcement is forthcoming on Raw. Guess we'll find out tomorrow. Throughout his career, Bundy would splash his opponents and demand the official count to five. Big E. Langston revived the gimmick during his run in NXT. At WrestleMania III, Bundy splashed midget wrestler Little Beaver in a six man tag team match, causing a disqualification. Bundy, who was managed by Jimmy Hart and later Bobby "the Brain" Heenan, would leave the WWF in 1987 after his feud with Hogan ran its course. He would return years later, most notably losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania XI.

The respectable folks at Cheezeburger have compiled a list of the worst video game music of all time. Not wanting you to suffer more brain damage than necessary, we culled the list down so that only the absolute worst (best?) are represented. Are we really doing you any favors, though? Probably not. Wear headphones at your own peril.
Double Dribble Arcade – National Anthem
Not as bad as shitting on the American Flag and setting it on fire, but almost.
Silent Hill 2 – Dog Ending
Listening to this, I'm taken back to those wanton days of my adolescent youth, when me and my buddy had dreams of rockin' the entire world from our garage with nothing more than our boyish innocence and cheap Casio keyboard. The dog barks were second only to the cat meows.
The Adventures of Rad Gravity – Title Screen
Who else giggled to the rhythmic toggling of START and CONTINUE? This obnoxious ditty definitely belongs in this list.
San Francisco Rush – What's Your Name?
CGZHIJKLMNOP? What the fuck kind of name is that? What the fuck kind of song is this?
Animal Crossing: Wild World – Resetti's Theme
Let's test your fortitude! If you can make it even halfway through this video, then congratulations! You're godlike.
King's Quest V – Town Music
This ten hour loop of King's Quest music was originally stitched together as a humane replacement to waterboarding. It was never employed, however, immediately denounced by the international community as "one of the worst forms of torture ever blown in our earholes". True story.
Resident Evil: Director's Cut – Mansion Basement
Nepotism at its worst. Clearly, someone promised their toddler that he'd put their music into that game daddy was making. Sorry kid, but "The Floor is Made of Lava!" has got to be one of the shittiest songs I've ever heard.
WWF No Mercy – Menu Screen
What What whattity what whattity the fuck? Pelvic thrust, y'all!
