Hitler Stole My Granddaddy's Car (Allegedly)
Back during WWII, there was a manpower shortage in the east Alabama cotton mills, and my Grandfather, Jim Strickland, sold his backwoods Randolph County farm, and moved to the Chattahoochee Valley still seeking his fortune. Even at his advanced age, and with failing health, he easily found a job as an armed guard, watching the truck gate at Fairfax Mill. Whether the nation's Intelligence Services had uncovered an Axis plot to destroy Alabama cotton mills, I couldn't say. But Papa Strickland spent WWII making sure NAZI saboteurs or Kamikaze pilots didn't sneak into Fairfax Mill through the truck gate. Suffice it to say, Read on →
My Struggle with "Genglish"
Many people say that English is the hardest language to understand because so many words can mean different things and we often need a sentence to explain one word in another language. For example, in the US it is quite common for people to publicly "root for the team." In other English-speaking countries if you are caught doing that you will be arrested. In Australia to call someone "an old bastard" is a term of endearment. But in some other English-speaking countries it could be the first few words in an argument or the last words before a fight. In the US Read on →
Getting The Best Exchange Rate For Confederate Money
Richard Rose, President of Atlanta's NAACP, advocates that we sandblast the bas-relief of Confederates Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee from the face of Stone Mountain. Months before the havoc wreaked on September 11, 2001, many of us cringed as the Taliban government of Afghanistan destroyed multiple Buddhas. How can destroying icons of another group increase respect and appreciation for your own icons? In March 2001, the government sent envoy Rahmatullah Hashimi to Washington to contextualize the destruction: "The Islamic government made its decision in a rage after a foreign delegation offered money to preserve the ancient works while a Read on →
Chitlins' Last Stand
No one in his right damn mind pays "you've gotta be kiddin' me" prices to see a movie -- even if it is an advance showing of a major motion picture. I'm willing today because this little excursion is part of my scheme to throw some serious 'shade' –- and some serious 'cool' --on a despicably hot summer day. I've come to the mall multiplex to match wits with Tom Cruise, to see if I can keep up with the on-screen goings-on in the latest installment of Mission Impossible. Just within the mall, but outside the cinema, the conditioned air smells of popcorn and pastry Read on →

Hi members of the Nottingham Heritage Interest Group.
It's no longer the Nottingham Heritage Interest Group!
The group has been inactive for some time, and in an effort to revive it I have decided to broaden out its remit a bit and make it a bit more accessible. The new "Nottingham City & Country Explorers Group" will still involve a lot of heritage, history and archaeology, but will expand beyond that to include other forms of exploring our local area. We will be finding attractive places to walk or sit in, beautiful villages and stately homes, little-known shops and other establishments, and try out some new activities. Watch this space for more on that.
As regards the heritage side, we have recently been joined by Andy Wyer, who is a qualified archaeologist and keen to introduce us to all manner of archaeological attractions. He begins with a visit to Derby Museum this coming Saturday. Further visits and activities are planned, including a group trip to Cresswell Crags in central Notts, tho that may be next year now.
Also next year I would like to take the group to visit various attractive villages and small towns around Nottingham. Plus I will re-start a series of visits to Nottingham's caves and other marvels of the built environment.
If you would like to lead an exploring activity, or have an idea for one you'd like to see the group do, please get in touch. It is for everyone to take the lead and organise your own exploration of Nottingham city and surrounding country.

8.8 million Brits are Appy with their mobiles
comScore and GSMA, the chaps who revealed that the iPad had a whopping 89 per cent share of the global tablet web traffic, have also broken down the app usage data of the UK's mobile users.
Out of the 21.8 million mobile phone users in the UK, 8.8 million used a web connected app in April 2011, with Google Maps the most popular with almost 6.5 million unique monthly active users.
Yahoo Weather came in second, just to keep up the tradition of us being a nation obsessed with the weather, with over 3.5 million users and Facebook third with just under 3.5 million.
The results are for multiple devices and multiple operating systems and the application ranking is all part of the GSMA MMM product portfolio that was launched in February 2010, which aims to look at mobile internet behaviour and a detailed analysis of access methods.
"We are excited to release the first public census-level data from the GSMA and comScore on mobile application usage," said Henry Stevens, media director, GSMA. "Apps have become an important entry point for accessing content on mobile devices and their usage will only increase with the rapid proliferation of smartphones. We look forward to delivering to the UK market these critical insights to help understand the mobile ecosystem."

Los Angeles Clippers Showed Improvement In Doc Rivers' First Season
In year one under Doc Rivers, fans watched the Los Angeles Clippers grow in a short amount of time. Going 57-25 last season was good enough to clinch the third seed in the Western Conference. They advanced past interstate rival Golden State Warriors in an exciting seven-game series. Then their title hopes were cut short, losing Game 6 at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
As great as Chris Paul is, the seven-time All-Star showed improvement under Rivers' tutelage. As for CP3, he was seventh in MVP voting, but he did shoot lower percentages overall from the field and charity stripe than the previous season. Rather than be concerned, it was more about taking another leadership step and understanding his new coach. You can just see the influence from the sidelines, expecting the floor general to control the game in attack mode. We saw an aggressive point guard keep defenses on their heels, either looking to score or dropping a dime. He presents a triple-option for defenses to pick their poison: score himself, dish it to a big man in the lane for the flush or kick it out for a trey. Paul is a great leader, buying into a championship coach's philosophy and utilizing Blake Griffin as the primary scorer.
Griffin was unleashed last season, resulting in the best season of his career and placing third in MVP voting. The best player in the league above the rim, he improved all aspects of his game as well. Paired with brilliant minds in Rivers and Paul, Griffin is learning to master the simplest pay in the book, the pick and roll. Watching him dice through the lane and elevate is something special. The big fella worked on his shot, as he was connecting with efficiency, facing up or out of pick and pops. He also pushed the ball more, at times dribbling coast to coast. He's not done, folks; he's going to build off a strong season.
If Griffin can improve from the free throw line, his 24 points per game average could approach 30 a night. That type of season would bring the MVP award back to the City of Angels, which was last done by the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant in 2008.
DeAndre Jordan also had a big year. His improvement was noticeable as was his presence was felt on both ends of the floor. It was as if he was told to dunk everything he touches, and he did just that with drop steps from the mid-range baseline.
Of course, their title hopes are better with Jamal Crawford. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year is seeking an extension, and as of right now he is scheduled to hit the market next summer. Don't be surprised if Crawford gets traded. There were increases in his points and assists but decreases in his shooting percentages, which may stem from shooting more than Rivers would like. Whether it's shot selection or the fact that Crawford's 34 years of age now, I doubt he gets an extension at a rate he's looking for.
Shooting guard J.J. Redick slightly increased his assists and steals totals. His defensive activity picked up, and he also averaged three more points per game while shooting higher percentages.
This team was far from their potential last season and still entered the elite group of teams. The entire team improved in basketball IQ and looked smoother running their sets, but in the end I saw a raw team that was a second too late with the extra pass and defensive rotations.
Lob City will finish at the top of the Western Conference with the champion Spurs and Thunder, much like last season. Keeping the franchise spotlight on the court, I expect them to reach The Finals within the next few years, if not in 2014-15.

geez what's his problem?
by myfatsquirrel on 11/1/2012 7:04:03 PM
so there is this guy, and we always lock eyes and he stares at me so intently, like he was saying hi to me in the hallway and his friend was talking to him, and he winked at me and locked eyes with me and then his friend was like dude! and he was like oh sorry what? and then we went to a haunted house and he linked arms with me the whole time!! and he we were standing in line and he slipped his arm around my waist and then removed it quickly! (why did he do that?!?) and we were at a party sitting on the floor talking and he put his legs over mine. Also he always (whenever we hang out) lifts me up! Do you think he likes me? we talk, but we dont really have any classes together, but in the hallways and we hang out with a group together a lot so i dont know..
Hey Girl! It sounds like he is into you! Sometimes guys will put his arm around your waist and link arms becasue he wants to keep you close. If he removed it quickly, he probably thought that he made you uncomfortable. Next time grab his hand first, or when he pulls away sweetly grab his hand back. It will boost his confidence and show him that you like him too.

I am dating this guy, and have been for about a month. Him and my Best friend constantly talk and flirt though. I didn't really care that much because i started not liking him. One day we were talking and he said he was on the phone for hours with my best friend. When i tried asking her why she was talking to him so much she just yelled at me. The next day she started all these rumors about me and how i was super jelous and clingy. It hurt a lot, especially because I don't really like this boy and i wasn't any of what she said. At first i thought it was jealousy but she has a boy friend... She also knew that i was starting not to like him. I don't know what to do. I don't think i should be friends with her if she was so quick to gossip about me before but i also don't want to waste so many years of our friendship on this... HELP!
Hey Chica, sometimes guy friends and girl friends flirt because that's just how they interact and you BFF and your BF might be doing just that. However, you aren't that into your BF, and it isn't fair for him if you keep dating, so be nice and break up. I would give my BFF a second chance, but if you still feel there is a distance between you guys or she isn't nice to you, it's O.K. to look for new friends. I hope this helps!

Remembering Central High's 'gentle giant'
6-foot-6 tackle went on to win Super Bowl with Cowboys
Once a three-sport star at Central High School who died Sunday at the age of 64, Rodney Wallace was a pretty big deal back in the day. How big?
"He was a natural athlete and a giant among boys," said Rick Hill, a childhood friend. "He was a very good football player and just a really good guy. A gentle giant."
Wallace was 6-foot-6 and played in the NFL at 255 pounds — after he was told to drop 45 pounds when he reported to training camp with the Dallas Cowboys. They drafted him in the 10th round — 259th pick overall — in 1971.
An offensive tackle who played at 300 pounds in high school, Wallace was with the Cowboys from 1971-73 and won a Super Bowl VI ring as a rookie when Dallas beat the Miami Dolphins 24-3.

A Serious Man
2009 Directed by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
A Serious Man is the story of an ordinary man's search for clarity in a universe where Jefferson Airplane is on the radio and F-Troop is on TV. It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik, a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith that she is leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous acquaintances Sy Ableman.

Popular reviewsMore
Unpopular opinion incoming! 'A Serious Man' is one of my favourite Coen's and I would actually call it more likeable than 'No Country for Old Men'. I love how their trademark edgy dialogues greatly blend into the much smaller and amateurish setting of the film, just like in 'Inside Llewyn Davis'. It creates an intelligent comedy, which I think hits the directors talents better than the western crime gems they've created. Not often do I laugh out loud when watching a film, so honour where honour's due, 'A Serious Man' deserves its four stars.
Fiddling with the aerial doesn't always make the signal more clear. The cat is both dead and not dead (Clive understands the dead cat, but not the math). The man in the prologue is or isn't a dybbuk. The bookends suggest an unbroken cycle that may or may not relate to what characters have and haven't done. "Accept the mystery."
Rabbi Nachtner: "We can't know everything."
Larry Gopnik: "It sounds like you don't know anything! Why even tell me this story?"
Nachtner: [laughing]"First I should tell you, then I shouldn't, hoo!" [places hands on cheeks]
Gopnick to dream class: "Even though you can't figure anything out, you will be responsible for it on the mid-term."
The Uncertainty Principle. It proves we can't ever really know... what's going on. So it shouldn't bother you. Not being able to figure anything out.
After seeing the brilliant Llewyn Davis, I have decided to work backwards through the Coen Bros filmography hitting every single forgotten gem or under appreciated masterpiece. Im doing this because my gut tells me that if Llewyn Davis doesn't see a second life on home video, it will sadly join the ranks of those other Coen films that have sunk below the radar.
The first stop on this tour through the Coen Brothers dark fairy tale universe is 2009's A Serious Man. Set in a predominantly Jewish suburb in the early 60's, (a setting very…
"Accept the mystery"
Another great one from the Coens that I'd been meaning to rewatch for a long time. It contains all the elements that the two directors often couple together to make their films so remarkable - a great lead performance, beautiful cinematography, a biting and terrific screenplay, and a uniquely established tone. However, the main aspect that sets A Serious Man apart is its supremely Jewish setting. Despite being familiar, the film is triumphantly unique and interesting.
On this watch, I kind of noticed a lot of similarities to Barton Fink, with it's offbeat nature and awkward male lead who's life is going in bad places. Both are probably the Coens most ambiguous films, with lots left up to interpretation. There is a lot of symbolism and depth here, it'd be interesting to see, or possibly write a full blown analysis.
It's also darkly hilarious. Poor Larry.
"I need unguent" - Steve G Does The Coens
The question most people seem to have about A Serious Man, judging by the reviews I've read, is "What's it actually about?"
A lot of the time I don't think it matters what a film is about. I often find myself going round in circles trying to get to the bottom of this subject and losing sight of whether I enjoyed the film or not. Actually, I have this problem more when it IS a film I enjoyed. If it's a film I hated then I'm not going to waste my time trying to figure out what was going on with it. It can just piss off.
Even though it might not be one of their best films, A Serious Man is definetely one of the funniest comedies directed by the Coen Brothers and one of the most continuously funny films of the past decade. Great writing featuring near-perfect dialogue, brilliant characterization & intelligent story that's so large in scope that ends up covering several themes and great direction by the American duo who leads the film with a wonderful pacing, A Serious Man is a simple delight. In the lead role, Michael Stuhlbarg is just excellent and delivers one of his best performances in this wonderlly-realized dark comedy that's supported by a clever cinematography and by a brilliant score.
Recent reviewsMore
I count on the Coens to take me some place unexpected and to rarely understand what is happening when we get there.
Narrative can be cathartic without epiphany. And though I have never been able to pull that off as a writer myself, I am very appreciative as a reader (or viewer).
Add to that fresh characters and rich settings in the service of cinematic storytelling, without the crutch of voiceover and titles and explanatory flashbacks, and you have something truly transporting.
One of the most enigmatic movies of the Coen Brothers, it's also an extremely funny and entertaning tale of a man searching not for God, but for answers. Check it out when you feel like there's no good or hope for this world anymore. You'll feel better, Coen style.
As Llewyn Davis is the cat, so is Larry Gopnik. Neither dead or alive, Gopnik's purgatorial sin comes from his complacency: I haven't done anything (he has not done anything wrong or right, he simply hasn't done anything), he protests, so why are all these bad things happening to me?
Gopnik, a man of numbers, searches incessantly for the answers to impossible questions. But as a man of numbers, he believes his search will yield something substantive, something tangible, something serious. Yet logical validity is not a form of truth and perhaps we're best just letting go, ceding to the mystery. In search for truths, our curiosity can.. well, you know: the cat.
The Coen brothers retell the story of Job, but set it during the 1950's and inject with their trademark sense of dark humor...
Full review located at:
Un hombre busca a Dios cuando su mundo se cae a pedazos y lo encuenta (?), descubre que lo ha abandonado(??), Dios es un tornado (???) Dios es un gato (???), Dios es el gato de Schrödinger (????). Solo los Cohen pueden hacer una comedia con un discurso tan denso.
Pd: Wolowitz es un rabino je je je
Recibe con humildad todo lo que te ocurra. Así iniciamos este viaje absurdo al mejor estilo de los hermanos los Coen. Un profesor de física excelentemente interpretado que vivencia esto que la vida tiene de incertidumbre y absurdo en la cotidianidad de sus relaciones. Un hombre que busca encontrar un sentido desconocido, externo y supremo como salida a esta incertidumbre, pero se topa con que el asunto está en el significado que le atribuimos a lo que ocurre, a veces eso nos devuelve la calma y en otras la embarramos. Lo mejor cuando creemos que esta nos en tierra firme queda el sabor de que se aproxima una nueva tormenta. El humor negro y la sátira terminan siendo colchones frente a las situaciones. Enorme el manejo visual, los sueños son tan cercanos a la realidad que no se logran identificar inmediatamente. La banda sonora, los perdonajes y la ambientación increíbles.
The antithesis to 'everything happens for a reason.' (that's vanity.) The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike. And then a tornado comes or something. Chuck Berry was right: you never can tell.
¿los Coen han hecho algo malo alguna vez?
Ser um homem sério não significa ter respostas nem que estará livre do caos.
As vezes é melhor aceitar o mistério. E a tempestade que se aproxima. E, quem sabe, tirar algo de bom disso tudo. Se tiver essa oportunidade...
