Were there no good movies in the "aughts?" :o)
Debbie S On Friday, January 8 at 7:53 pm
Congratulations winners! I miss the state/city quizzes! I could at least google those! But these are awesome, and have helped me to pay better attention!!
I'm so envious!
Amybyrd35 On Friday, January 8 at 8:00 pm
Thank you! thank you!! How fun!
Christina (Dinner at Christina's) On Friday, January 8 at 8:01 pm
I finally got them all correct for once! Although mine had a problem at first b/c when I went to submit the comment I could see everybody's answers and at first the questions weren't numbered.
I also agree w/ a previous commenter's wish for a Musical edition of movie quizzes! Ohhh or TV shows of 70s, 80s, 90s!
C.I. On Friday, January 8 at 8:01 pm
Congrats winners! It was fun, and thanks Ree for the adrenaline rushes! LOL Looking forward to future ones!
Linda C On Friday, January 8 at 8:05 pm
Congrats Winners
MegsP On Friday, January 8 at 8:07 pm
Thanks Ree! So fun – especially because my husband took this one (with an assist from me on the Misery question!). Now he can't (nicely) tease me for being on this site so much
Jen On Friday, January 8 at 8:10 pm
Congratulations, winners! These quizzes are so fun!
Sharon H from Missouri On Friday, January 8 at 8:10 pm
My movie-buff hubbie protests the answer to #9 The Usual Suspects. He said it's NOT Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey's character narrates the movie, but he isn't actually Keysar Soze. That the movie never says it's him. People "assume" it's him, but it's not. I wouldn't know, 'cuz I haven't seen it. He's fond of teasing me that I'm "movie illiterate" and haven't seen a lot (i.e. sheltered childhood). I didn't see Animal House until a few years ago when I turned 40.
Bobosaur Wrangler On Friday, January 8 at 8:11 pm
This was a good one! Just as fun as watching these movies all over again and less time consuming!
FLWendy On Friday, January 8 at 8:12 pm
Woohoo!! Thank you for an earlier quiz Sunday! Love the brain exercise.
Carole On Friday, January 8 at 8:13 pm
These quizzes have taught me that I have absolutely no talent for trivia. Congrats to those who do!
Pam On Friday, January 8 at 8:33 pm
The Kathy Bates picture gives me the chills everytime I come here and see it. I could only watch that movie once and never again because the breaking of the bones scene and him screaming did me in. LOL
Jennifer On Friday, January 8 at 8:40 pm
I was so wound up that I misspelled buttocks! There was a very short time during the quiz when *some* people's answers were visible, and I saw that I was the third with all correct. I was beating myself up because I just missed second prize. What a relief that there were actually scores of people ahead of me
Courtney Nemeth On Friday, January 8 at 8:51 pm
jennifer #14…the same for me…mine was note letting me enter but i could see all the other answers…it is so much fun to do these quizzes…plus i like entering when i know most of the answers…it does not make me feel so trivia dumb
melissa c On Friday, January 8 at 8:53 pm
Debbie S.,
I googled a lot of these answers, well, not so much for this one, but for the '70s movie quiz,definitely.
Monie On Friday, January 8 at 8:59 pm

Southern Gal On Saturday, January 9 at 7:23 am
You have taught me to pay attention when I'm watching movies. My son has been telling me that for years.
Bring on the final quiz. I'm ready.
Ranger On Saturday, January 9 at 7:46 am
For movie buffs: What was the name of the film in which a german shepherd and a racehorse came back to life as humans to discover who murdered the german shepherd?
Ranger On Saturday, January 9 at 7:47 am
You Never Can Tell
Valerie On Saturday, January 9 at 7:47 am
You sure do know your movies PW!
Sharrieboberry On Saturday, January 9 at 7:57 am
There's a huge gap in my movie-viewing years. I think it starts with young children. You realize that things you find entertaining are not always suitable for younger viewing!
So I haven't seen some of these and some of them it has been a L-O-N-G time since I've seen them!
pati mk On Saturday, January 9 at 8:46 am
Congrats to the winners. I'm a movie illiterate, that's for sure. How about a music smartypants quiz – not to do with movies, just plain old rock and roll:)
Cheryl A in Fort Worth On Saturday, January 9 at 9:12 am
I agree with #22….Kevin Spacey was "Verbal" due to his talking too much.
#9—we also agree that while the movie never states directly that Spacey is Keyser Soze, the photo that comes out of the fax machine at the very end totally resembles Verbal and it seems to be very point of the movie!
Congrats to the winners!
bino1952 On Saturday, January 9 at 9:42 am
Congrats to the winners. Can't believe I missed the Mike Myers question. LOL
Jennifer in SC On Saturday, January 9 at 10:16 am
Yeah! I finally got them all right and won!
Nezzy On Saturday, January 9 at 12:44 pm
A big old Ozarks CONGRATULATIONS to all the lucky pants winners!!!
Have a great weekend and may God bless ya'll!!
the Provident Woman On Saturday, January 9 at 1:30 pm
I had them all right, too!
Tobi-Lynn On Saturday, January 9 at 1:36 pm
Good job! I had a lot of fun, but did have to google some for the 80's. thanks PW!
and ditto to # 33, it was Verbal for talking so much and he was Keyser with the fax of him coming in and the end where he is released and walking to the car with Keyser's assistant driving it and he loses the limp and all that.
Lisa On Saturday, January 9 at 9:17 pm
Thanks, PW – I love these quizzes. It's the only thing my husband and I do together. It provides us with 2 1/2 minutes of real quality time …
Lloyd On Saturday, January 9 at 11:25 pm
"Verbal" Vernal is an equinox… and an nice town in northeastern Utah.
Kathleen On Sunday, January 10 at 8:16 am
To #1 – not really.
I agree with some of you on the getting all wound up on these quizzes – I have terrible test anxiety so I always miss one or two answers because of it every time! Even on stuff I know. I'm trying to relax and enjoy them more though because they really are a lot of fun. Especially the movies ones!
Jen On Sunday, January 10 at 1:54 pm
What about a New Millennium quiz?

Mike Miscellany
1. Mike is working as a bailiff in court. I have no idea if he is getting paid for his work, but I do know that he has arrested at least two people and is ready to arrest more. I also know he has absolutely no credentials and is at a physical disadvantage with most anyone he'd want to arrest, unless maybe he's working in juvenile court, which I'm pretty sure he isn't.
That Mike is working as a bailiff is a testament to one thing and one thing only: the town where he lives–my blessed, wonderful hometown–is the only place on earth Mike could possibly live. Where else on earth would an EMT named Dan devote thirty years of his life taking Mike out to lunch, an car dealership owner named Fred (oh, and his wife named Jackie) give him rides and let him hang out on the showroom floor, various members of the medical center staff allow him to visit recovering patients, and policemen allow him to ride along during their shifts?
Where else would a guy Mike's age be allowed to kiss the hands of women of all ages, tell them they're so pretty, and ask them if they're married without the women taking offense?
Where else would the town put up a billboard to wish him Happy 40th Birthday?
Where else would a judge allow Mike to cuff people who are being held in contempt of court?
Where else would Mike be able to walk down the mall and be greeted by…every single person there?
It takes a village to raise a Mike.
2. I talked to Mike on the phone the other day.
"Hey, Mikert Lou! What's up, buttercup?"
"Is it time for you to send me a check yet?"
"I don't know. Is it?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know either."
"Okay. I'm so glad we had this talk, Mike."
3. I pay Mike not to drink. I've written about this a lot.
I just found out over the weekend that he has developed a taste for energy drinks. Word on the street is it makes him feel alive inside. One rumor had him saying something a long the lines of "It makes me want to dance and sculpt."
I plan on getting to the bottom of this right away.
4. I had another conversation with Mike.
"Mike, are you seriously acting as a bailiff in court?"
(Proudly) "Yes, I am."
"What does it all mean?"
"It means I get to cuff people if dey get out of line."
"Mike, you cuff people? Seriously?"
(Proudly) "Yes, I do."
"Under what circumstances would you cuff someone?"
"W-w-w-well…some guy showed up late to court and the judge had me c-c-c-cuff him."
"How do you feel about that?"
"I feel good."
"Well, are you nice to them while you're doing it?"
"I am not nice and I am not mean."
"Mike, you need to find a way to demonstrate compassion while still doing your job, okay?"
*Mike doesn't respond*
"Do you enjoy being a bailiff?"
(Proudly) "Yes, I do."
"Well, let's delve into this a little bit, Mike. Is it out of some desire to promote justice? Is it the witnessing the battle between good and evil? Do you find it intellectually challenging to watch the goings-on of a courtroom? Or are you just relieved to be on this side of the law?"
"I have to go."
"Oh…well, I kinda of wanted to talk, Mike."
"I have to make Ramen noodles."
"Okay, fine."
5. When Mike was about fifteen, we all–my parents and my siblings and I–started calling him Jim. My mother to this day calls him Jimbo.
I have absolutely no idea why.
His name is not Jim.
There's no Jim in our family.
There's not even any James in our family.
I had a very, very confusing upbringing.
6. And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go prank call Mike while he's still in court.
I'll let you know how it turns out. There's a chance the judge might have Mike come arrest me.
I'll let you know if I go underground for awhile.
Until then,
Pioneer Woman

Wow Kate, I don't even have to read anymore, your comment brought tears to my eyes. And to Ree, I love all that you wrote about Mike, he's so very special…so are you.
Jennyville On Monday, November 15 at 7:53 pm
Thank you for saying that Kate. I needed to be reminded today. God bless you.

what a sweet post – i love how close you are to your brother and, it sounds like, the whole town is too!
AGinTO On Tuesday, November 16 at 2:32 pm
Wow. Your hometown, for Mike, sounds like Utopia… That sounds so great, I almost want to pack up my family and move there.
I love… I mean L.O.V.E. the Mike stories! Thank you! And keep 'em coming!

I love your Mike stories! He is truly loved!
Suzanne @ Window On The Prairie On Monday, November 15 at 4:56 pm
Only in a small town. Mike is truly blessed to live where he does and have so many people who love him. http://windowontheprairie.com/ Suzanne
Tonya Beaston On Tuesday, November 16 at 3:55 pm
What makes it even better, is that Mike's "hometown" has a population of over 36000 people and I bet over half of them know Mike and most of the women have been hugged or kissed by him, or asked out. He talked about moving to Texas a few months ago and we almost cried. I'm so glad he changed his mind. We all luv him.
midnacht On Monday, November 15 at 2:40 pm
Good for Mike.
Sibyl On Monday, November 15 at 2:40 pm
I love Mike. I hope to be as free with my heart as he is someday. Actually, as free with my heart as your whole hometown is.

What a beautiful small town to treat Mike this way……..
Tracey from Central Coast Seachange On Monday, November 15 at 6:45 pm
I love the line..'it takes a village to raise a Mike'. City folk often poo poo life in a small town, but the kindness and love that small towns show their people is truly amazing.
relash On Monday, November 15 at 2:42 pm
You might want to take notes fom that Asama guy, I hear that he has that whole underground thing down. LOL
Let us know how it turns out!
Have fun, best memories are of the stuff I did to my brothers!
Tee Hee!
greeneyes/Martha On Monday, November 15 at 2:42 pm
As Mike, or ahem, Jim, would say…
The end.
Cait On Monday, November 15 at 2:42 pm
Random question: What size shirt does Mike wear? I'm going to try and trade baked goods for a Falk t-shirt (they're the Danish EMT's.) I've got a few of the guys hooked on your cinnamon rolls
Tonya Beaston On Tuesday, November 16 at 3:35 pm
Your gonna become Mike's best friend if you give him a t-shirt. As long as he still loves me best though, I will share him with you. LOL. Just in case Ree doesn't get a chance to answer your question, I am pretty sure Mike wears a medium.
Cait On Tuesday, November 16 at 3:37 pm
Thanks, Tonya!
Kimberly On Monday, November 15 at 2:43 pm
What is Mike doing for Thanksgiving? Will you post a recent picture if he comes to your home? He and your hometown warm my heart.
Happy Thanksgiving to you PW and your beautiful family and friends!

This has to be one of the dearest post you have ever written. Praise God for your hometown! Praise God for Mike and Praise God for you.

Heather On Monday, November 15 at 2:47 pm
The other day I heard that Mike attended our church. I have met him before. I was engaged to my husband at the time. He kissed my hand and told me I was pretty… he also asked if I was married. I loved it! He is amazing! I havent seen him in a while. Let him know he is missed!!
Alan @ it's not work, it's gardening! On Monday, November 15 at 2:48 pm
The Mike stories are all great, but that photo of you both on the car hood is *amazing*!
Love it!
Cindy On Monday, November 15 at 2:49 pm
Too funny!
Kim K On Monday, November 15 at 2:49 pm
Have to agree…the shot with the two of you on the hood of the car…SO great!
Enlarge and frame!
Jennifer in SC On Monday, November 15 at 2:49 pm
I love bailiffs! They're the only good thing about trying cases. When I tried cases visibly pregnant, they'd bring me all sorts of food that is apparently hidden in the judge's chambers. And they know absolutely EVERYTHING that's going on in the courthouse. I hope Mike has a long and joyous career as a bailiff.
Aly On Monday, November 15 at 2:50 pm
Very sweet story!

Mind you, I loved the whole post. I love that there are places like that dotted around the globe. Very special…
Kirsten is Comfortably Domestic On Monday, November 15 at 7:57 pm
That's a great line. Every town should be a village like that. Love, love, LOVE to hear about Mike.
Katy On Monday, November 15 at 2:56 pm
How great! I love Mike stories! By the way, my brother David was nicknamed (by me) to be Fred. No Fred's in our family either.
Natalie V2 On Monday, November 15 at 2:58 pm
Well, thank goodness for smart judges, good towns, and compassion… especially compassion.
jill On Monday, November 15 at 2:58 pm
1. Where you ask? in many small towns in this country, which is one of the things that makes this country so great: the people are amazing!
Kelly L On Monday, November 15 at 2:58 pm
I love that last photo of you two. It's great.
Susannah On Monday, November 15 at 2:58 pm
There is so much junk in the news and internet headlines that it sometimes makes me want to scream. And then I read this post about Mike and the dear people of your hometown and things don't seem so out of control. Thanks for helping to bring some balance to my day! And glad to hear that Mike is still on the wagon!
Bamanan On Monday, November 15 at 2:59 pm
What a lovely place to live….the perfect village for your brother. He is blessed.

…Uh, keep us posted if you have to go into the slammer Ree. We will send you your cinnamon rolls with a file inside, 'kay? Ooo, and just think, you could have b*tches! lol… Not that you would or anything, I'm just sayin'…*giggle*
…I love Mike posts… :o)
…Blessings… :o)
Kim O On Monday, November 15 at 3:02 pm
I love your relationship with your brother. I have an uncle like your Mike. He was raised in a small town also. He belongs there. We have tried to have him move down with us but he couldn't stand it. While my parents went to dinner, my uncle started walking to he bus station. A police officer offered him a ride, he got a bus ticket and by the time my parents came home, there was a note that said he just couldn't stay there and he would be on a bus to *insert city* by the time they read the note. He was right. I have no idea b/c he didn't have much money but no matter what, he always finds his way home. Living in his small town also keeps him out of trouble because everyone knows who he is.
His favorite job? Helping out at the auction. There is a lot of action going on there!
Cynthia On Monday, November 15 at 3:03 pm
Thanks for the Mike Update, P-Dub! I was just thinking of him yesterday (I have no earthly idea why) and wondering how he was doing and what he's been up to. Glad to hear he's still running things in his world!
Munchiedog On Monday, November 15 at 3:03 pm
Love this post about Mike. Whatever happened to the callback for a movie?? Love to hear that story.
Linda On Monday, November 15 at 3:05 pm
Such a beautiful story. Proud of your home town.
Heather On Monday, November 15 at 3:06 pm
What an awesome hometown you have! And an even-more awesome brother!

Jennifer in TX On Monday, November 15 at 3:07 pm
I'm with Susannah; it's so easy to lose faith in humanity these days, but then we're treated to the Continuing Tales of Mike and Those Who Embrace Him, and suddenly I don't feel quite so curmudgeonly anymore. That's a very special town of yours, and it makes me happy just knowing it's there.
Can't WAIT until Wednesday night. Here's hoping your turkey kicked Flay's turkey's damn butt hell ass!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist.
Lynn (in Katy, Texas) On Monday, November 15 at 5:46 pm
Loved your last sentence, Jennifer!
Marisa On Monday, November 15 at 3:08 pm
I love your Mike stories also! How did the movie role thingy turn out??
Cheryl O. On Monday, November 15 at 3:08 pm
Mike posts are my very, very favorite!
Heather On Monday, November 15 at 3:08 pm
I love stories about Mike. You should tag them somehow so we can read the back posts….
Sarah On Monday, November 15 at 3:09 pm
Mike sounds just like my brother Jamie. When Jamie doesn't want to answer a question you've asked him, he goes "BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" and hangs up
Sunny On Monday, November 15 at 3:09 pm
I have to tell you that every time I read about how good people are to Mike it makes me teary eyed. In a world that has so many mean people and angry people it is so nice to know that somewhere out there people are being so kind and nice. What a wonderful town you grew up in. Thanks for the Mike stories. They always make me smile!
laura lok On Monday, November 15 at 3:10 pm
I love your posts about mike. they always bring a smile to my face. I have a brother with dystonia and mild retardation and proud to say he is my brother but so many times I hear negative things and it makes me sad.
Melissa On Monday, November 15 at 3:11 pm
That is such a sweet post. NOTHING beats a small town. I know I love mine.
Megan On Monday, November 15 at 3:13 pm
This is my first Mike post. (I'm a big PW fan but usually get stuck in the recipes of which my entire family is a big fan.) LOVE this post and 5 minutes later I am still weepy eyed over the sweetness of it.
Cheryl Barker On Monday, November 15 at 3:16 pm
I had to smile at how Mike is ready to arrest more people
ValerieF On Monday, November 15 at 3:17 pm
Love love love your Mike stories! And posts like this make me think I did miss out on something growing up in a big city.
Natasha R On Monday, November 15 at 3:18 pm
Mike has a much better social life than me
Lacia in Canada On Monday, November 15 at 3:19 pm
I just wanted to let you know how much this warms my heart. My daughter has Down syndrome and my greatest wish is for her to be accepted and appreciated exactly the way she is. I hope that when her and her 2 brothers grow up they have the same kind of relationship that you and Mike do.
Tiffany On Tuesday, November 16 at 10:42 am
Lacia, my son has Down's Syndrome also and reading this Mike story gives me hope for his future. People like Mike, your daughter and my boy, Jack, have such honest and open hearts. They are at such risk to be taken advantage of but it's so wonderful when instead they get to show us all how much compassion humanity really has to offer.

My daughter "Hannah" has brain damage, and I so love hearing the Mike stories. I was lucky enought to attend PW's cookbook signing in Orlando and I asked for more Mike stories. I've never been a read-the-end-of-the-book-first kind of person, but somehow getting a glimps into the adult lives of people like Mike give me hope for Hannah's future – and a glimpse that things will turn out good in the end. Thanks for sharing!

I love your relationship with your brother! it reminds me so much of myself and mine
Torrie @ a place to share... On Monday, November 15 at 3:20 pm
I can truly listen to Mike stories all day long.
Jennifer On Monday, November 15 at 3:20 pm
I'm glad Mike lives here. He brings a smile to my face anytime I see him.
Diane On Monday, November 15 at 3:21 pm
I love it when you share Mike stories. My daughter and I were in Hilton Head last week for a couple of days, and I thought of him and the oysters! I kept thinking of "Turkey Damn Butt Hell Ass" and laughing! Thanks for sharing him with all of us!
Stephanie On Monday, November 15 at 3:21 pm
I like Mike. Everyone should have a Mike in their life.

CC in NJ On Monday, November 15 at 3:26 pm
That is so great for Mike! What a wonderful town that is where he lives. If all towns were like that, I think It'd be a better world!
marilyn d. On Monday, November 15 at 3:27 pm
i have no idea where your town is, on the global scene, except that it's in the heart of america. all i know is that that heart that exists in small town america (and i hope, the world), and provides the best for folks like mike/jimbo. it takes a heart a mile wide to give–and accept–that kind of unconditional love and care. i suspect that mike's own heart has been nurtured and fed to the point of it nearly breaking out of his chest with it. he feels at home, there, like most of us will never know. we all need to be taking notes, and working on making the rest of us feel cared for, loved, and cherished as does mike.
and we need to take an occasional lunch with an EMT, cuff a "bad guy", and wander around a showroom floor. life is too short not to be doing those things.
this was impressed on me more than ever, today, when an incidental finding on a CAT scan showed me that my life may be a lot shorter than i'd planned. now, i have to go and hitch a ride on the local fire engine, just because i can…
Robin On Monday, November 15 at 3:59 pm
Prayers to you Marilyn! Live life to the fullest every precious day!
Debbie S.S. On Monday, November 15 at 5:14 pm
God Bless you, Marilyn! I hope you get that ride
Kellie E On Monday, November 15 at 5:22 pm
Marilyn – I love the line …just because I can…You go girl! My prayers are with you.
marilyn d. On Monday, November 15 at 6:14 pm
thank you all–keep the prayers going. after spending a lifetime in healthcare, i may be a part of it sooner than i'd bargained for… more tests coming, and with enough prayer, that nodule in my lung may disappear! ("that which we fear the most, we do." i am a nurse anesthetist, doing what i fear the most…)
Erika S. On Monday, November 15 at 8:22 pm
Marilyn, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember to take in as many sunsets as possible!! xoxoxoxo
Helen On Tuesday, November 16 at 12:24 am
Of course I don't know you but that doesn't matter. We are all one big PW family. I just want you to know that I loved what you said—"just because I can". Powerful. Sending prayers and big hugs to you!

Kirsten S. On Monday, November 15 at 3:29 pm
I'm interested in hearing if Mike got anywhere with that movie callback….or was that a joke?
BelovedAimee On Monday, November 15 at 3:30 pm
1- I love Mike.
2- I love how you love Mike.
3- I love how the town loves Mike.
4- Aforementioned loves are how God meant to "love one another"
5- Please write a book about Mike.
6- I have a "Mike" in my family. His name is Jimbo. Not Kidding.

Another huge ditto to 1-5. Especially 5.
Crystal On Monday, November 15 at 3:30 pm
I have so many thoughts. You are right, most places, a kind, friendly guy like Mike would not be treated so well, thank goodness we have not lost ALL of our goodness as a society.
mglory On Monday, November 15 at 3:31 pm
Love, love, love your Mike stories. Must be a small town thing, because here in the big city of city of Coweta (Cow town) Oklahoma, we embrace the challenged. It is great because you teach your children compassion and empathy, just by walking down Main Street.
Oh yeah, make us proud on Throwdown, DVR is primed and ready for it! :)~

Cindy On Monday, November 15 at 3:39 pm
Awww. We have a our own Mike in our small town! Everyone calls him Shawty. No matter where you go there Shawty is, running the proceedings with his special brand of iron fist. I swear Shawty has more "family" than most folks could ever hope for. The only problem I remember is when he decided to be the umpire for the towns softball league (ok, two teams really isn't a league) It seems Shawty really only knew the hand signals for you're out! That was the extent of his softball knowledge. LOL big fun that night.
Shawty smokes like a fiend, wonder how much I could pay him to quit?
Much love to Mike!
the Provident Woman On Monday, November 15 at 3:40 pm
Your home town sounds wonderful! I'm so glad they treat him so lovingly. I wish I could cuff someone.
Martha On Monday, November 15 at 3:41 pm
I also have an adult disabled sister. When we went to visit our hometown a few weeks ago, she walked through the walmart waving right and left like she was a local celebrity….and she is!
Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) On Monday, November 15 at 3:42 pm
Woohoo!!! This is one Ozark Farm Chick who just loves Mike!!! Or shall we call him Barney…Nip it…nip it in the bud!!!

Jana in OK On Monday, November 15 at 3:42 pm
In my wonderful, small hometown and there is a young man whose name is Roy, he is autistic. He walks everywhere he goes. There's a state highway that runs through the middle of our town and you see him walking up and down the busy highway. He hugs all the ladies and gives them a foot rub – feet are his thing! He knows all of the stats on our high school football team and what each player has passed for, rushed for, number of tackles. In a world where there are so many crimes committed every day, here are these vulnerable men, who are taken care of and watched over by their hometown communities! God bless them and God bless the small town USA!

I love the stories about Mike. They make me laugh out loud, which in turn scares my dogs!
My three children also all have names that don't have any reason for being, Stink , Poodle , and Boo boo. How they came to be I have no idea…..but it cracks me up. They even put these names in each others cell phones!
Katie Rose On Monday, November 15 at 3:45 pm
I love your Mike posts.
This post really made me laugh, especially #5 because we started calling my youngest brother Matthew any variation of Charles we could think of when he was about 5. Charlie, Charlie Boy, Chuck, Chuckley, Charlie Brown, etc. We still do actually, and he's 18 now.
JenM26 On Monday, November 15 at 5:22 pm
I agree with Katie! My little brother's name is Mike, but I call him Chuck, or any variation thereof. I've been doing this for about six years, he turns 21 in a few months. I slipped up and called him by his real name recently and he yelled at me.
megank On Monday, November 15 at 3:46 pm
I love when I run into Mike. He makes me smile,
Tree On Monday, November 15 at 3:46 pm
I never get tired of seeing pictures of you and Mike as youngsters, esp. the kissing one. That your town respects and treats Mike so well is a testament to them and your parents for raising him well…and you, of course, too.
Untypically Jia On Monday, November 15 at 3:47 pm
I want to move to your town just so I can meet Mike and maybe give him a ride sometime. Also, being called pretty and having my hand kissed wouldn't be a bad thing.
Lynette On Monday, November 15 at 3:47 pm
I needed a Mike Story today!! Thanks!
bobbie On Monday, November 15 at 3:53 pm
Mike and 'his' town truly restore my faith in humanity, every single time.
I take it he recovered well from the surgery?
Give him a hug (from all of us), and tell him I'm durned proud of him and his new job!!!
PS ~ I agree ~ how about a separate "Mike Story" section? Then on those days when the news too oppressing to bear, we could find our favorite and be comforted ~
Just sayin'!
Farren D. On Monday, November 15 at 4:21 pm
A section devoted to Mike would be great! Good idea!
Gigs On Tuesday, November 16 at 8:13 am
There IS a section devoted to Mike. Under "Confessions" click on Family and Mike is listed as an option.

Review: No elephants but lots of energy at 'Cirque'
The energy onstage leapt upward the moment the curtain was raised and it stayed up for the whole show. "Cirque Dreams Holidaze," the first of four Broadway in Abilene shows, drew a nearly packed house at the Abilene Civic Center Tuesday.
No horses, no lions, nary a single pachyderm in this circus, but believe me, they weren't missed. The acrobats and tumblers, jugglers and jump ropers held the audiences attention from the beginning.
In "Soaring Pirouettes, two performers used a single hoop and did some body-twisting movements and dangled precariously, all the while smiling brightly. During "Rockin' Around," two roller skaters spun and danced on a little dais, but it was when they pulled out the ropes and added them to the act that you could almost hear the audience holding its collective breath.
One of the jesters brought a little girl from the audience (she was a plant) — the crowd loved her tumbling routine with Santa. The Skipping Elves with their jump-rope skills also earned oohs and aahs. This Scrooge doesn't get visits from spirits, but his act using two ropes and his burly arms was amazing.
But it was "A Symphony of Bells" with its five audience members coerced into joining the bell chorus that got the biggest laughs of the night. The Maestro character had fun with the act, as did the volunteers. The second act opened with "A Quick Change" that defied reality, but was very entertaining. I had to leave before the show ended to make deadline and I didn't want to leave.
My one complaint would be the noise level. It was really loud.
Having seen the quality of the shows in the Broadway series, I can't wait for the next one.

So it's been over a week since the unboxing of the Infinix Hot Note X551 and so far, the experience has been solid. I will be honest for a moment here, when I first received the Hot Note, I wasn't too optimistic about what the phone's performance will be. The experience has been contrary to my first thought; the Infinix Hot Note is a pretty solid device, both in terms of appearance and in terms of performance. Let's not waste time here and get to write about its key winning points.
The Infinix Hot Note, finally received and doing what any blogger would do; Unbox and see what's inside!
Mobilink, Pakistan's leading telecom provider has today revealed its new identity. Mobilink initiated its operations in Pakistan in 1994 and had recently come under the umbrella of Vimpelcom, when the Russian telecom giant acquired Orascom in 2011. Mobilink at present enjoys the leader position among the 5 telecom operators in Pakistan with over 36 Million subscribers.
The process had been underway for quite some time and only recently did Mobilink initiate revealing hints about this new identity starting June 12th. This started with the Link that was showcased on all major newspapers and television channels and the new identity will be revealed with the print and the digital medium as the primary platforms.
I am sure most of the folks reading this blog post, have problems when it comes to "copy and paste". Especially when it's copying a quote from your favorite blogger or entrepreneur to Twitter or Facebook. Click.to is one of those applications that simplifies the same. While I can go about writing lines and lines describing what it does, Click.to app is simply your "shortcut" to copy and paste.
Now some of you might just think of this to be a pretty pointless app to share, but to prove you remotely wrong, one must try. The sheer simplicity it offers, saves time (at least in my case), as it lets you select specific applications that you want Click.to to paste your selection. This is done via a neat popup bar that appears anytime you select something to copy. From the bar you opt where the copied item needs to be pasted and it's done, no switching windows or tabs or even to your Excel sheet or Word document. Plus, it sits in your system tray monitoring your clicks, what applications have you used to paste the items, giving users an overview of how many clicks, copy and paste actions they perform. Though I really wish they had some way to track the time spent in performing the same actions.
Adzine is a new startup based in Pakistan focused on a more traditional business of Print Ads, however the founders have taken this initiative primarily as a study and have plans on taking a Digital Route with their Startup. We think it is quite logical for them to experiment with something that's already in the box before attempting a new approach, especially in a market that is still adopting (fast) to the startup culture. Following is an interview with the Co-Founder, Khurram Salahuddin Khan:
Q.1 Who are you and what's your background?
When you have titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and the Guitar Hero to boast about, there is very little doubt that the next game you bring is going to be a good one. That's what the expectations as the developers of the named titles are set to bring Epic Skater to your iPhone and Android Devices. The development team behind the game are on KickStartup, the crowd-source funding market place to raise $50,000. They already have 95 backers and bagged $4,350, if you love what they have already given to the community, make sure you visit their KickStartup Page and pledge a sum. It's not much, you can make a contribution with a minimum $1.
You can watch the Video of Epic Skater below:
New York, NY (June 27, 2012) – CapsulePen, a new kind of pill case and the brainchild of Joseph Cote (serial entrepreneur and former founder of Dance.com), hit Kickstarter (video here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1967168209/capsulepen?ref=live ) on May 9. With only 4 days left in the campaign which ends on July 2nd, over $15,000 has already been raised to bring this product to market. The pill container industry is getting turned up-side down by this new form factor. CapsulePen is a pill box shaped like a pen; and helps people to take pills as needed, which is a significant challenge in the health industry in general, and for the elderly or chronically ill in particular.
The CapsulePen is the first pill container that arranges pills lengthwise in a tubular container shaped like a pen. The pen fits virtually all pill sizes, and they are loaded in reverse of the the order they are to be taken. A clip ensures easy fastening inside pockets, and magnetized end caps make it easy to place the CapsulePen within eyesight in a kitchen, bathroom or office. Its hexagonal body plus the magnetized ends allows for seven CapsulePens to fit perfectly together in a weekly bundle, for easy, secure portability. CapsulePen users can pre-load a full week's worth of medication, ready to be taken on time, every time.
In a world filled with quick information jetting unstoppably, it is crucial to be flexible. There are thousands of ways on how to handle information, and they can be overwhelming for the average individual. However, people who are exposed to the Internet are already prepared to enter the chaotic but profitable world of blogging and internet marketing.
Blogging and internet marketing must coexist with one another. Old-fashioned good content is still required nowadays, but marketing is the leverage. If you are new in the blogging industry, better keep in mind that marketing is ace. You cannot move forward without the simplest aspects of marketing. Luckily, you don't have to be overwhelmed when it comes to the premise of marketing. I will recommend a very useful program that can grant you an edge in the sea of online competition. This program, by all means, is a chat box that goes by the name of Chatwing.
If the contrasting cultures of the sports teams is any indication, the West Coast and East Coast have business cultures that seem much more suited to the battlefield than to any sort of cooperation.
The laid back West Coast business culture of jeans and stylish shirts seems unequipped for any type of real organization, but their dress and mannerisms may be a cover for handling the extremely delicate and high profile dealings of the entertainment business.

The atmosphere in the build-up to a Copa Libertadores final
is always intense. But when you throw in two finalists that have
never previously won the prestigious trophy, as is the case with
Fluminense and LDU, and set the decisive second leg in Rio de
Janeiro's legendary Maracana stadium, the results are nothing
short of spectacular.
Brazil's most famous city, boasting around six million inhabitants, is no stranger to big footballing occasions. Calling Rio home are no fewer than four giants of the Brazilian game in the shape of Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense and Vasco da Gama, and the supporters of Flu's main local rivals are making sure they are not left out of the party.
Though it is true that most of the flags and banners adorning the coastal metropolis are in Fluminense colours, fans of the city's remaining sides have pledged their support for Ecuadorian visitors LDU, lending the final's return leg a somewhat peculiar ambience. Perhaps the most obvious explanation comes from a survey carried out by the Datafolha Institute in January, which discovered that 43 per cent of Carioca football fans follow Flamengo, compared to a mere 11 percent for Fluminense.
Witnessing this phenomenon first hand is Gabriel Silva, one of a number of street vendors to have spent the last few days selling flags to passing car drivers. "I've brought loads of Fluminense ones with me, some Flamengo ones and also a few LDU flags, which are a really popular with Flamengo fans," he told FIFA.com.
And the LDU squad also received a clear indication of this unexpected wave of support when taking the field for Monday's training session at Flamengo's Gavea stadium. Dozens of Flamenguistas were there to meet the Ecuadorian players, waving banners that read 'LDU: Liga Deportiva Urubu', urubu being the Portuguese word for 'vulture', the symbol of Flamengo.
Once the session was over, the Fla supporters gave a particularly warm send-off to LDU's Joffre Guerron, who they claimed bore a striking resemblance to Rubro-Negro favourite Obina. The bemused Ecuadorian was even presented with a Flamengo shirt, which he gamely wore while giving a number of interviews and having his photo taken - an episode that has not gone down too well in the Fluminense ranks.
All still to play for
Turning to matters on the field, the destination of the Copa Libertadores trophy remains in the balance, despite LDU recording an impressive 4-2 first-leg win at their Estadio Casa Blanca. The Ecuadorians were clearly unhappy at not building a more comfortable lead to take to Brazil, understandable given Fluminense's record at the Maracana during this year's competition. O Tricolor Carioca have won each of their six games at the mythical venue, including triumphs over tournament favourites Sao Paulo and Boca Juniors in the last eight and semi-finals respectively.
It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the 69,000 tickets available sold out within a matter of hours, with many fans spending the night queuing outside the ticket office. " . And if Sao Paulo and Boca couldn't stop us, I can't see LDU managing it," says 19-year-old student Marcelo Souza, clutching his prized match ticket. "And we mustn't forget that if we win tomorrow we'll go level with Flamengo," he added, in reference to Fla's solitary Libertadores triumph in 1981.
Even the Laranjeiras side's defeat in Quito has not dampened the faithful's devotion to their team, with thousands attending training to show their support for Renato Gaucho's men. "Thiago Neves' goal (Flu's second in Quito) and Fernando Henrique's save that prevented LDU scoring a fifth have made me feel certain that we'll be champions," said the coach himself. "The Flu supporters are intelligent and they realise this too. That's why they never turned on us."
Ecuadorians for a day
Over in the opposing camp, the hotel housing the LDU delegation is clearly proud to have been chosen as the Ecuadorians' official base in Rio. Not only does the building exhibit a huge Ecuadorian flag, but many of the approximately 1,000 fans that have travelled from Quito to watch their team have booked rooms in the hotel - leading to an intriguing mix of players, supporters, club directors and accompanying journalists congregating together in the foyer.
"We're part of a group of fans that follow Liga's matches all around Ecuador, and we just couldn't miss out on an occasion like this," said LDU die-hard Miguel Arauz. "Given the circumstances, this was always going to be special. But once you feel the footballing fervour here in Rio de Janeiro, you can see that this experience will be out of this world."
But as the team coach taking LDU to the Maracana for their final
pre-match training session leaves the hotel to hearty cheers and
applause, not all of those present are from Ecuador. Indeed, local
boys Mateus and Pablo, two former youth team players at Flamengo,
joined in the throng as if they were lifelong
Los Blancos supporters.
"We tried to get tickets in the LDU end but it just wasn't possible," said Pablo, who even had his shirt signed by Quito star Damian Manso. Meanwhile, observing the scene with a wry smile was Rodrigo Lara, a member of the hotel staff and a Fluminense fan: "Look how petty they are. They (Flamengo fans) have to support another team if they want to have something to celebrate," he said.
Club rivalries and the potential for schadenfreude aside, one thing is for sure: 3 July will be a memorable day for everybody involved with Fluminense. Should they manage to overturn their first-leg deficit, Thursday will be spent revelling in a historic triumph. And should they fall short, the LDU victory celebrations will have a noticeable Rubro-Negro tinge.

Results 1 to 10 of 24
Style: LARPing--
Harai Goshi
I'v been using this throw to no end in wrestling
set up the high under hook and a low over hook or just grab their arm tightly
control their body - set them up beside you, reap both of their legs with your leg and reap them over..
I'm having great success with this throw, but I figured, make a thread on this? Why the hell not!
anyone have any other tips for this throw? (no gi)

Style: TKD; BJJ--
I don't have a ton of throwing experience besides the basic Ogoshi and Osotogari we practice in my TKD class (hardly advanced Judo knowledge there), but can the throw be done with an underhook instead of that overhook? Seems like the overhook is to prevent them from stepping back and maybe grabbing your back, but the underhook would accomplish that too, and open you up for other things as well. But I really don't know, I'm not big on the no-gi over-under hooking and all that (especially with throwing)
Style: LARPing--
so you just start with uchi mata and then transfer into harai goshi as they're defending the uchi mata? i'm confused.
if its a different throw please point it out

The one I'm referring to is in the Kodokan Judo book if that helps. The one they show the video of on judo info is a variation that is also referred to in KJ, but isn't the main one.
Back to my response:
It kind of depends what they do. If I can't for some reason get their closest leg off the ground very far, I like to switch into a rolling knee bar.
(Probably a not very good) Explanation of how do knee bar:
Assuming you are doing it with a left-handed overhook:
1.) Keep the overhook
2.) Lift your left leg as high possible while bending down and hooking their right leg with your right arm. Try to glue your body onto their right leg.
3.) Roll over shoulder into kneebar
Generally the overhook keeps training partners trapped long enough for me to adjust to get the knee bar. If you can't get it one handed, you can switch to a two handed or behind the triceps knee bar. I haven't gotten this in a tournament or anything, but I've done it in class successfully.
If I get their leg decently far off the ground but I am sucking or they are just defending better than I am attacking, I'll switch into the hip sweep.
And Kengou: I prefer throwing from an overhook as opposed to an underhook, but an easy counter to a sloppy overhook is dropping to your knees and going for a single or double leg, so be aware of that.
By the way, I'm only a newbie blue belt, so I wouldn't put too much stock in my masterful techniques.

Style: judo, karate, jap jj--
I have not really done much no gi stuff, but i underhook + grab wrist.
really jam the inside of your elbow up under thier shoulder to get the power, the wrist grab is mostly to get them going in the right direction, not really to generate kusishi

The uchi mata (which is the throw I was talking about going into a rolling kneebar from) that I'm referring to is like this one (but with no gi, so the grips would be replaced with your preferred no gi grips): uchi mata
What I was trying to say is that what I do depends on what happens with the uchi mata attempt. If I get their leg far off the ground but they stay up because I **** up and can't throw them, I will go for the hip sweep (harai goshi). If I can't get their leg off the ground very far (in other words, If I can't get them off-balanced), I go for a rolling knee bar (although sometimes I go for a hip sweep anyway from here). I just decided to include the description of the kneebar from uchi mata for the hell of it.

iPhone 3.0: Safari Geo-Location Not Just for Google's Latitude
Last week we posted on Google's Latitude service coming to the iPhone by way of Safari. Of course, as Computerworld (via MacRumors) points out, for the location-tracking buddy service to work in the browser, the browser must support geo-location, and not just for Google.
So we guess IP addresses won't be the only way for annoying web ads to try and localize us any more?

iPhone 3.0: Safari Geo-Location Not Just for Google's Latitude
Writers pro tip: It's never "try and." Use "try to" instead.
This would have been a great article for me about a week ago. I have an app that uses WebKit that was just rejected because it did not work with these APIs properly in 3.0. The problem is I can't find any documentation, or even an example website where I can go to reproduce the problem and catch the error. If anybody knows the full URL for the website in the screenshot, please post it.
Personally, I'm not all that enthused about my browser knowing my exact location.
If I want to search for something near me, adding a city name to the search string is easy enough.
I can't imagine willingly allowing anyone I know to stalk me, and I'm certain I don't want unknown web sites to do so either.
So the question for those enthusiastic about this feature, I have One Question: What would you see this offering you in exchange for surrendering your privacy?
This computerworld article linked by MacRumors suggests domain-by-domain restrictions, though of course the screen shots could be faked.
But even if they are by domain and have a same-origin restriction like XHR (e.g. so that when you are visiting TIPB, theiphoneblog.com could ask for your location, but not smartphoneexperts.com, google-analytics.com, or theblackhelicoptersarecomingtogetme.com), I cannot yet imagine any feature out there compelling enough to make me click "OK" on this.
The paranoia in me has me nervous about this. I'm with Muero and icebike on this topic. I do not see myself tapping "Allow."
http://zyb.com, the social phonebook does already work with the W3C geolocation, and therefore their service works with the new Safari version!
Fantastic site, just seen this post on twittter going to add this blog to my site now.
With OS 3.0 Safari geolocation, you can even mimic the native iPhone Maps app: http://plebeosaur.us/you-are-here-with-safari-on-iphone/
Thank you for this helpful article. I have been reading your blog for the past couple of weeks, and I have been enjoying ever second of it There are so many blogs out there, its nice to find a good one!. I write for a blog that is a lot like yours, would you be interested write a guest post on it? Please email me if you are interested

All shoveled out?
Warm up with a show this weekend.
On Saturday the Washington Chu Shan Chinese Opera Institute will present its 2014 Lantern Festival Show, a combination of Chinese opera, ballet and modern dance. The performance begins at 7 p.m. at Seneca Valley High School, 19401 Crystal Rock Drive, Germantown. Also featured will be selected scenes from the Chinese opera version of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet," which is set to tour Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania throughout February. Performers for Saturdays show include members of the Shanghai Peking Opera Troupe, the Beijing Vocational Institute of Local Operas and Arts, and teachers and students from the Potomac Dance Center. For more information, visit washingtonchineseopera.org.
In College Park, the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet will perform in concert at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Founded in 1988, its repertoire spans not only that typical of a wind quintet, but also sextets and septets intended for enlarged ensembles. Saturday's program will include Mozart's "Fantasy for mechanical organ, K.608," arranged for wind quintet by Michael Hasel; Joseph Bohuslav Foerster's "Quintet in D major op. 95"; and Kalevi Aho's "Windquintet." The University of Maryland's Graduate Fellowship Woodwind Quintet will join for a performance of Gounod's "Petite symphonie." For more information, visit claricesmithcenter.umd.edu.
In Fairfax County, acclaimed pianist, vocalist and humorist John Eaton will deliver a post-Valentine's Day performance inspired by the Great American Songbook at the Barns at Wolf Trap. Considered one of the foremost interpreters of the Songbook, he was one of the flagship artists of Wolf Trap Recordings, for which he produced seven albums.

oil painting compositions, he isn't drawn to tiny buds or small

Breaking out of a painting rut sometimes requires a little
more oomph than just adding another color to your palette or going from a still

MILWAUKEE — Crews collected tons of old and unused prescription drugs on Saturday, April 28th for Medicine Collection Day.
Cars rolled into Miller Park Saturday to drop off unused prescription drugs or medicine they don't want anymore.
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Public Information Manager Bill Graffin said, "Prescription drug abuse is a growing problem, especially among young people, and we also don't want people flushing them or pouring them down the drain. Research and studies show the majority of people who abuse drugs get them right from the home medicine cabinet or from a friend or neighbor's house."
Dropping medicine off at Medicine Collection Day is a safe way to get rid of it.
"If it gets into the hands of children, many of these drugs are toxic drugs. A lot of medications have been sitting around in people's houses and they get toxic as they get older. So, we really think we are doing an amazing job for our kids and our pets," Pharmacist Sally Fongaro said.

What do Mom's really want for Mother's Day?
Jewelry? A massage? Five seconds to pee alone?
What usually happens? We go out, or attend a Mother's Day brunch.
I will straight up tell you I used to be a big fan of the Mother's Day Brunch.
This was of course when I had little kids who would sit in a high chair and pose with me. Soon I realized that this was way more work and stress then a Mother needed! I realized I was One Tired Mom and just wanted to relax!
And so, the Mother's Day vacation was born.
Whether it's a day trip or a weekend away, I get away somewhere with the Mr and the kids. We spend quality time relaxing and having fun. In the past we have gone to Laguna and Palm Springs. Those were two of the best weekends. I am happy, the kids are happy, and no one is being dragged to the bathroom six times before we get our brunch food. I call that a win/win. All I really want for Mother's Day is a healthy, happy family!!
Sometimes Motherhood is the path of least resistance. I'll let you know how this Mother's Day goes! What do you REALLY want for Mothers Day?
Totally Terrific Tunics!!

Edamame Nutrition
You will often get to hear about edamame in a restaurant or dinning place. Many wonder what exactly is this thing and how would it taste! Well, it is just a decorative name for boiled green soybeans.
Yes! It is right what you just read. It is just simple boiled green soybeans that you can prepare at home or you do most of the days. Although it may sound pretty normal and simple to you, it has great nutritional benefits to offer to you. You can also call them "negative calorie foods". Although "negative calorie foods" does not exist literally, green soybeans are called so because they have very low quantity of calories in them, but require a lot of calories to get digested. This makes your body loose much calorie and could help you reduce your weight.
Nutritional value of Edamame:
Although these are boiled green soybeans, it may sound dull and tasteless. But, to much astonishment, these bean pods tastes really good and a pinch of salt makes it even tastier. Besides having a pleasant taste, it has tonnes of nutritional benefits packed in them. Here is a detail according to nutritional benefits that you would obtain from half cup or 100 grams of these beans.
• 120 calories
• 2.5 grams fat
• 9 grams of fiber
• 6% daily value for calcium.
• 0.5 grams of mono-saturated fats
• 8 % daily value for vitamin A
• 1.5 grams poly-unsaturated fat
• 13 grams carbohydrate
• 11 grams protein
• 6 milligram sodium
• 10 % daily value for iron
• 10% daily value for vitamin C
• 16% magnesium
• 5% vitamin B-6
As you can see, these soybean pods are high in iron as compared to other plant products. It also contains two main anti-oxidants, Vitamin A and C. Anti-oxidants help purify your body from inside and counterpart the harmful effects that you obtain from other foods like meat and burgers.
It is high in fiber, which ensures that all the nutrients of the food is absorbed by your body properly and the unnecessary products pass away as roughage from your body. They are similar to nuts on the grounds of fat content. They prove to be a great substitute for nuts. So people allergic to nuts can consume edamame in their diet.
Benefits of Soybeans:
Scientists and researchers agree that the nutritional benefits of edamame are really beneficial for a person to stay in shape and active throughout the day. Here is how these green beans benefit you.
1. It has been proved to contain isoflavones or phytoestrogens which helps in reduction of overall cholesterol that are bad for the health, especially in men and raise good cholesterol in return.
2. Soy protein also reduces insulin resistance, fatty liver and kidney damage in diabetic people.
3. The isoflavones present in the beans also protects the body against cancer, osteoporosis and heart diseases.
4. It may also be used to treat and prevent hypertention.
5. Soy protein can also be used to prevent bone loss and cancer in females.
You can store these beans easily in your refrigerator. Dry soybeans can be stored for 4 to 5 days in the fridge in a perforated plastic bag.
Cooking at home:
Since you now know what edamame is, you so should be able to prepare them at home for a healthy breakfast and snack. These beans prove excellent to be included in every meal you prepare at home. Addition of these beans in your dinner and supper completes all the nutritional grounds of your diet and also helps you to digest all your food efficiently. This is why it is served as an appetizer in most restaurants.
You can pair a plate of boiled or roasted edamame with a steak or roast beef or in fact, with any other meal you are having. Tossing the bean pods with some salt, pepper and spices proves to be an instant snack for unexpected guests in your home. Sweet and Spicy Soy Glazed Edamame, Baked parmesan, garlic parmesan, Parmesan and wasabi encrusted soybeans are some popular flavours that you can try to enhance the taste of these green soybeans.

The Player: Spencer Hawes
The Team: Los Angeles Clippers
The Contract: 4 years, $23 million (Player option on fourth year; 15 percent trade kicker)
How does it affect the cap situation?
It depends on how the Clippers end up acquiring Hawes. Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, who broke the news of Hawes' signing, noted that the Clippers were planning on using their full mid-level exception on him. However, both he and USA Today's Sam Amick suggested that L.A. would pursue a sign-and-trade with Cleveland in an attempt to preserve their MLE (perhaps for Paul Pierce?).
Regardless of whether the Clippers use their MLE on Hawes or sign-and-trade for him, they'll be hard-capped at the apron ($4 million above the luxury-tax threshold) for the remainder of the season. Assuming the Clippers renounce the rights to Glen Davis (cap hold of $915,243), Danny Granger ($915,243), Ryan Hollins ($915,243) and Hedo Turkoglu ($915,243), they'll have $72,719,577 in cap space committed for 2014-15 before the Hawes signing. (That calculation factors in Darren Collison leaving for the Sacramento Kings, resulting in three incomplete roster charges totaling $1,522,008).
With Hawes' 2014-15 salary likely starting in the $5 million range, signing him with the MLE leaves just $3 million and change in cap space for L.A. to use before hitting the apron (based on the projected tax threshold of $77 million). Unless the Clippers can convince the Cavs to agree to a sign-and-trade for Hawes, thus reducing their salary commitments for 2014-15, acquiring him severely restricts L.A.'s ability to sign Pierce outright, as D.J. Foster explained for Bleacher Report.
How does it affect the luxury tax?
The exact financials of Hawes' deal have yet to be released, but it's safe to assume that the Clippers will be over the luxury-tax threshold after signing him if they're forced to use the MLE. Renouncing the rights to Davis, Granger, Hollins and Turkoglu still wouldn't keep the Clippers out of the tax.
Realistically, unless L.A. can either sign-and-trade for Hawes or find a taker for Jamal Crawford (who's reportedly being dangled in sign-and-trade talks, per Wojnarowski), Jared Dudley, or Matt Barnes, they're going to be paying the luxury tax next season. In that sense, being hard-capped may be a blessing in disguise for Steve Ballmer, who's set to take over the franchise once the Donald Sterling fiasco blows over once and for all. (He won't be racking up a Mikhail Prokhorov-esque luxury-tax bill during his first season as owner of the franchise.)
What's next?
If L.A. can convince the Cavs to agree to a sign-and-trade for Hawes, Clippers coach Doc Rivers will likely push to sign Pierce using the MLE. Brooklyn can offer more money, but Pierce may prefer a reunion with Doc and a chance to compete for a title with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
If the Clippers are forced to use the MLE on Hawes, however, he'll be their one major free-agent splash, barring any trades. They'll be stuck filling out the roster with guys on veteran's minimum contracts, mindful of their proximity to the apron at all times.

I didn't want to believe this, but the drama surrounding Will Smith and Jada Pinkett's marriage is just not looking good.
Rumors have been surfacing that Jada and her HawthoRNe costar, Marc Anthony, have been getting it on. That means banging, in case you needed clarification.
On the show, Jada plays the wife of Michael Vartan, who she is cheating on--with Marc Anthony. As well all know, Marc and Jennifer Lopez recently announced their divorce. Dear god, I hope this doesn't have anything to do with it.
But In Touch Weekly is now claiming that in early August, Will was becoming suspicious that Jada and Marc were having an affair.
My first thought when I heard this story was—well, it wasn't so much a thought as it was just laughter. I mean, is Marc Anthony's penis made out of Nickel? Because apparently, it's a vagina magnet. There's certainly no other reasonable explanation for how he keeps getting laid.
But the story then continues that Smith secretly flew home from a shoot, reportedly found Jada and Marc in bed, and left the house crying. So sad!
Reps for both Will and Jada said on Tuesday that there was no truth to this story and that Jada has been completely faithful to Will. And a source tells TMZ that Marc did visit Jada's home, but it was in April, when he visited to check out a DVD.
Yeah, we've all used that line before. "Hey guy I have a huge crush on but don't want to be too forward with—wanna come over and watch some DVDs?"
But my second thought on this whole thing is, don't Will and Jada have an open relationship? Though, I don't know how those things work. I'm guessing it's limited to one-night stands and you don't want to Eiffel Tower in your own bed.
These two have supposedly been living separate lives for months now. And while I just can't see this happening, check out the video of a love scene between Jada and Marc in HawthoRNe. They're going to have to change the name of the show to HawthoRNY.
Also, insiders close to the TNT show are addressing the rumors.
"There was a lot of Jada wanting to have love scenes with Marc Anthony," a "HawthoRNe" source tells The Daily. "She definitely pushed for a story line that had Marc Anthony as a love interest. Never made sense to the network, but Jada pushed and they stopped pushing back."
The sources add that Smith is involved heavily with the show, and he often rewrites and edits scripts. If that's true, I don't see Marc's character lasting very long.
And another bad sign: before the couple's reps issued that statement yesterday, Entertainment Tonight asked them about the Anthony allegations and they gave a cryptic response before saying, "we are not commenting on whether they are separating or not."

The Brunch Menu at Milagro Modern Mexican

|The breakfast tacos at Milagro Modern Mexican
If, like me, you're not really a brunch type, Milagro's brunch menu finally provides a reason to put on some pants and leave the house on Sunday.
The photo at the top of the post shows the potato-chorizo tacos: sausage and perfectly cooked potatoes (neither too soft nor too hard) with grilled onions, queso fresco and crema inside a soft corn tortilla. These were served with a side of scrambled eggs and a dish of tangy, lightly spicy salsa verde for the tacos or the eggs or, you know, eating directly from a spoon.
Here is something I rarely write: I didn't order the tacos. (My wife did.)

Milagro's version of chilaquiles is quite spicy -- maybe the spiciest dish I've had at the restaurant -- though the eggs do take some of the edge off this heat.

One hundred and fifty nights a year, I climb onstage and exhort the audience to break into riotous applause for whichever performer is appearing that night. One night, we should bring all of our Members to the stage and have all the performers who've ever appeared at the Kate, (Judy Collins, Aaron Neville, Betty Buckley, Ed Asner, George Winston, etc.) sit in the house and applaud the Members. It's only fair because without our Members, none of the performers who've played the Kate, none of the children who've appeared on stage, none of the organizations who have filled the Center would have been able to do so. Without our Members, the second largest source of income after ticket sales, there would be no Kate, no applause, no glittering jewel on Main Street in Old Saybrook.
As you enjoy the Center this week and all the weeks this year, I hope you'll keep that image in your mind. Applause is not always easy to get. One has to earn it. Our Members deserve the applause of all who have trod our stage and all who have entered our doors. I hope you'll become a Member and earn the applause our Members so richly deserve.

Memorial Coliseum
Situated along Euclid Avenue on the University of Kentucky campus, Memorial Coliseum is the home of one of the richest basketball traditions in the nation. It is also home to the University of Kentucky women's basketball team, a team that has returned glory and excitement to a facility that has known a wealth of both.
For 25 years, the historic coliseum housed the renowned Kentucky Wildcats men's team, which won two national championships and 16 Southeastern Conference titles while playing in the facility under the direction of legendary coaches Adolph Rupp and Joe B. Hall. When the Wildcats moved downtown to 23,000-seat Rupp Arena in 1976, the then-11,500 seat Coliseum became the exclusive basketball home for the women's team. Although the Coliseum is nicknamed "the house that Rupp built," University President H.L. Donovan is credited with beginning the plans for the Coliseum's construction in 1941 when he recommended a building that would "properly take care of our athletics, our health services, our physical education and our recreation."

WELLS: It's a miracle, maybe
Someone has apparently turned the power up on the weird magnet at least around where I live. A number of things have happened recently that I cannot explain.
For example a week ago last Saturday, I was sound asleep, hoping to snooze beyond my customary 4 a.m. wake-up time when I heard the television blaring from the living room. It was barely 6 a.m. and the TV was loud enough to wake the cows who were still asleep in the pasture.
"Praise Jesus; let's turn now to second Corinthians for today's message," the televangelist shouted from his pulpit.Now folks; no one in my house was awake when the television set decided to turn itself on.The cat had been outside all night, and couldn't have used her paws to run the remote.Besides that, the last thing I watched on TV before going to bed was David Letterman a station that does not carry TV preachers.
I got up, walked into the living room in my skivvy drawers and stared at the television set in amazement. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to help us spread the word of God, here's where to send your donation," the TV preacher said. Before he was able to give the address, I hit the power button and went back to bed. Unable to conjure up a logical explanation for the incident, I have decided my television set is possessed.
Then there was the strange phone call I got at work earlier this week at my day job the local radio station.I answered the phone like I have a zillion times before. Usually, it's someone wanting to add their name to the birthday list, or they missed a sports score. Not this one. "Uhdo you have the phone number for the coroner", the lady asked. "I think my husband is dead."
Figuring it was someone trying to pull my leg, I asked her why she didn't just call 911."He don't need no ambulance," she said. "I'm pretty sure he's dead." Not wanting to argue, I gave her the coroner's phone number and expressed my condolences. Once again, I learned that people don't always behave like you think they should in a stressful situation.
Then there was the case of the dead donkey in my neighbor's pasture. Coming home from work around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I noticed Bill Robbins' donkey was flat on his back, with his legs sticking straight up in the air. Now, I know what dead farm animals look like, especially after my landlord's prize bull croaked a few months back. He too was flat on his back legs pointed skyward.
I stopped my truck, turned around, and headed to Mr. Robbins' house to deliver the bad news. Before I could get to his house, I looked in my rearview mirror and watched in amazement as that donkey started kicking his legs, got up and walked to the pond for a cool drink.
Hallelujah! It's a miracle, I said to myself. Not wanting to let this glorious moment pass, I decided to share the good news with Mr. Robbins. "Oh heck, he does that all the time," Mr. Robbins said. "He likes to roll in the dust on his back, and then falls asleep sometimes."
That still doesn't explain how the televangelist was able to turn my TV on while I was asleep.
