Part Four
Part Three
Part Two
Part One
I've always thought I was born about twenty years too late. Reading Sky's story the past few days makes me wonder if I should make that 30-40 years late. Making me old enough to appreciate who they were when they were. If you've been keeping up with the story, we are getting closer and closer to the "Day The Music Died," but first, Waylon Jennings and Buddy Holly have to get going out of Lubbock. Here's Sky Corbin with Part Five. -@JRKLLL
The day of Waylon Jennings' first recording session, in September '58 at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico, was historic in more ways than one. Not only was it Buddy Holly's final Clovis session, and the beginning of Waylon's professional recording career, but, coincidentally, later that day, or perhaps that night, Charlie Phillips recorded the first version of his composition, "Sugartime". Charlie's record was a moderate success, but The McGuire Sisters later made the song a classic. "Old-pro" bass player George Atwood performed on Waylon's songs, Phillips' numbers, and two songs which Buddy Holly recorded himself (in addition to producing and playing guitar on Waylon's sides) and, as mentioned earlier, King Curtis, the world's hottest rock and roll sax player was on hand, all the way from NooYawk City!
According to Waylon, Norman was obviously not happy about Buddy getting into producing, and was not helpful or encouraging to Waylon. "I felt like an illegitimate child at a family reunion!" he said. (in those approximate words) Petty's attitude was, to some extent, understandable, He was the one with the money, know-how and reputation invested in the studio, the one who had produced and recorded hits on Buddy Holly and the Crickets after Nashville was unable to do so. In addition to Buddy and the Crickets, The Norman Petty Trio, an easy-listening instrumental act, had recorded some hits of their own, most notably "Almost Paradise" and "Mood Indigo". Things were happening, and now, after only a year or so, his biggest act, Buddy Holly, was producing records himself and planning to open his own studio in
Lubbock, drawing basically from the same pool of West Texas and eastern New Mexico talent. (Buddy's next session would be in New York with Dick Jacobs producing and leading the orchestra).
When Buddy played the demo tape of Waylon's "Jole Blon" and the "flip" side, a thing called "When Sin Stops" (Love Begins") for us at KLLL, my brother "Slim" and I were not impressed, thrilled or optimistic. Producing a hit record is not as easy as the layman might assume. A talented artist recording a fine song can come up with a bomb...or a poor-to-mediocre artist singing garbage can come up with a smash. (Haven't we all heard plenty of those?!) Recording, in 1958, was still mostly one-track. The countless re-dubs and re-mixes done today were not practical...or even possible. When we had heard the tapes, all we could say was something like "Well, it's different. The radio stations and the public will have the say-so when it's released." Actually, Buddy's own performances during this record session also failed to produce anything notable. As we "cowboys" say, "Some days it just don't pay to saddle up!"
One morning during this period, the last weeks of '58, Buddy accompanied Waylon and fellow deejay Hi-Pockets Duncan to Morris Fruit and Vegetable Market, a modest grocery store in east Lubbock. Hi and Waylon made the visit every Tuesday morning to tell the radio audience about the current food specials. Hi emceed and did the advertising while Waylon, accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar, would sing a couple of songs...or more if time permitted on the 15 minute program. On this "momentous occasion", Buddy Holly, internationally known recording star, sang a song and harmonized with Waylon on the bluegrass favorite "Salty Dog Blues" When the program was over, Morris shook Buddy's hand and thanked him for coming out. Hi said, "Morris, Buddy gets at least a thousand bucks anytime he sings even one song. I suppose you'd take a check, wouldn't you, Buddy?" According to Hi, Morris turned pale, then red, and sputtered, "My God, Hi-Pockets, you should have checked with me first! You know I can't afford a lick like that!" Fortunately, the ensuing laughter made Morris realize he'd "been had"...though not financially. Buddy settled for a soda pop.
Waylon continued to deejay at KLLL while waiting for his job with Buddy to begin. Trying desperately to learn to play the new electric bass Buddy had presented him with, Waylon discovered that the four strings on a bass were the same as the strings on a guitar, and he was making some progress. Buddy and his wife, Maria Elena, were spending the holidays in Lubbock with Buddy's family. One morning (while I was doing my deejay show) Buddy, Waylon and Slim were in the production room nearby. Buddy was demonstrating some excellent new songs he had just written, or was still working on. "Help me with this one," he said. and began strumming and singing, "You're the one...and I wantcha to know..." Between the three of them, they rapidly knocked off a pretty nice little song, putting it on tape with Waylon and Slim accompanying Buddy and the guitar with some rather ragged goof-off hand-clapping for extra rhythm. After one quick run-through so they could remember the song. Buddy laid down the guitar and the three left for the coffee shop down the hall. Somehow the tape wound up in my desk for safekeeping, and was almost forgotten, even by me, until Buddy's Dad asked me about two years later if there was anything at the station that Buddy had recorded. I'm glad I saved that tape "for sentimental reasons."
Unfortunately, another tape made that month disappeared. It featured Buddy, Waylon, Sonny Curtis and Ray "Slim" Corbin having a great time singing harmony, and, as I recall, each taking a solo on "Salty Dog Blues"...a favorite of the young Lubbock musicians at the time. That would be something to hear now 44 years later! (Only Sonny survives of that fearsome foursome.)
On New Years Day, I was doing some paperwork in my office. The station was deserted except for me and the deejay who was on the air. Buddy and Waylon came in. Waylon wanted to pick up his guitar and a few other personal effects. He, presumably, had wound up his deejay days at KLLL, though there was a tacit understanding that he might be rehired if the music thing didn't work out...or he might do some fill-in when he wasn't on tour. On the way out, they came to my office door. (And I remember as if it were last month) "Well, 'Sky', we're off!", Buddy said, with a wave. I responded with my usual "brilliant wit", "Of course you're OFF! You're musicians, aren't you?" Buddy said, "You've got a point there!" I told Buddy, "Take care of our boy." Buddy's response (ironically) was, "Hunh! HE may have to take care of ME! See you about the middle of February. We gotta go make some money!"
That was the last time I'd see Buddy, but certainly not Waylon. HE'D be back...

HTC unlocked phones has made another mammoth announcement, just in time for the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. The HTC EVO 4G will be receiving another model of the phone, and this time on a completely new carrier. The phone will feature a 4.3 inch touch screen display and will be called the Inspire 4G, running on a 4G network provided by AT&T.
The announcement comes just days before the Consumer Electronics Show. Many companies have opted to make their announcements prior to the show to build anticipation for the booths and event that will take place at the show. Along with the excellent LCD display, the phone will also offer an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 1 GHZ CPU that should enable it to run just about any app available. It will also utilize the Android 2.2 operating system that features HTC's customized Sense UI, which allows users to use a "Find my Phone" feature that is very similar to the feature that was recently released by Apple for their unlocked iPhone 4.
HTC continues to impress in the days leading up to the Consumer Electronics Show, and has made a number of huge announcements including the development of their own tablet device.
It will be interesting to see how much hype this announcement receives, especially considering that the phone has already been released. The upgraded features should draw a few new users over to the phone, but the fact that it will be released on a new carrier with 4G capabilities is undoubtedly the biggest draw of the device.
The Inspire 4G is a huge upgrade for a device that has already been immensely popular throughout its history. HTC might be the underdog in the saturated mobile market, but they continue to impress with wonderful deals and excellent devices that push the ever expanding envelope for the company.

LYONS FALLS A group of Lewis County legislators on Wednesday got an up-close look at the redevelopment effort at the former paper mill here and the extent of work that remains.
It was a learning experience to see it first-hand, said Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, after he and four colleagues toured the old Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper mill.
The visit should prove especially beneficial to members of the legislative Economic Development Committee, which regularly discusses the redevelopment project.
James A. Durkish, north country representative for state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, also took the tour, with Lewis County Development Corp. President Lawrence L. Dolhof and county Economic Development Director Eric J. Virkler serving as guides.
Several of the mammoth brick buildings on the property, including the steam building and primary manufacturing building, are slated for demolition, and the presence of some asbestos will increase that cost, Mr. Dolhof said.
However, members of the development corporation, which owns the old mill and is working to redevelop it as a business park, are hoping to use at least some of the old brick as hard fill on site and to recoup as much as $1 million from scrap metal removed during the demolition process, he said.
The main building which Mr. Dolhof said contains five stories, including at least one below the level of the adjacent Black River has holes in its concrete floors, and a portion of its back wall has collapsed, leaving it open to the elements.
The development corporation, through the states regional economic development funding process, was awarded $330,000 in 2011 and an additional $1 million in December for the redevelopment project, which is expected to cost about $5 million and is being managed by the Development Authority of the North Country.
Officials said that 22 companies have shown some interest in the demolition project, and bids are due July 10.
Applied Biorefinery Sciences, a spinoff company from research conducted at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, has been considering the site for a proposed wood-chip chemical extraction operation. However, the company would have to secure a substantial amount of startup capital and conduct a successful 12- to 18-month trial run before beginning commercial production.
That business would utilize an existing structure, built only a year or two before the plants 2001 closure, to conduct its trial, Mr. Dolhof said.
Lawmakers were also able to tour the Northbrook Lyons Falls hydroelectric plant located right next to the old paper mill.
The plants owner, Kruger Energy, continues to talk of a large expansion project that would replace its aging turbines with new, larger ones, and the development corporations proposed demolition will provide better access to make that project possible, Mr. Dolhof said.

|Drug Charges Filed in Avery Traffic Stop
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 19 November 2013 06:55
Charges have come from a pursuit from October 31st in Avery County. In that, officers with the Avery County Sheriff's Office made a traffic stop of a pickup truck on Squirrel Creek Rd, the truck occupied by three persons, but as the vehicle stopped, all three occupants fled the vehicle.
Officers located methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia inside the truck, according to the release, then later located and arrested 33-year old John York of Mitchell County. York claimed the drugs in the vehicle were his, and the other two occupants were not charged in this matter, according to the Avery release. York was set a $10,000.00 bond for the drug counts at the Avery County Jail.

DEPEW, NY -- The viaducts along a busy stretch of Transit Road have been deteriorating for years, but the Mayor of Depew is calling on the state to do something about them.
Mayor Steven Hoffman says the problem is that the part of Transit Road stretching across more than one mile of his village was built in 1937, and while it has gotten routine maintenance, it has not been widened. Hoffman says 30 to 40-thousand cars and trucks travel on that stretch of Transit Road every day.
Hoffman adds that chunks of concrete could fall onto cars or people in those viaducts. He also wants more businesses to come to his community, and he says the current bottleneck situation is not helping the economy.
He realizes it would be an expensive project because of the four railroad bridges that would have to be replaced, but he says the safety of drivers is his top priority.
"I drive it every day, and you know, I pick my spots so I don't get in that situation. The drain intakes on the sides of the roads are like hitting potholes. You can't avoid them. You have to go over the drain intake. So I expect it, I know it's there and I brace for it," says Hoffman.
Hoffman tells us the Transit Road project just made a priority list for DOT projects that have to start by October of 2014, but whether that actually happens he does not know.
But, we talked with the DOT's Regional Director Friday and he told us that while there were plans in the 90s to overhaul Transit Road, those plans were scratched when the price tag kept going up. Right now, it would cost more than $50 million to fix the corridor, and while federal funds would help, it's just too expensive, and there is no project planned.
The DOT says it is always looking for smaller projects, but that the narrowness of the road does not contribute to accidents. The problems are at the intersections. If a widening project ever happened, homes and businesses would be impacted. That is just not something that the state is even thinking about at this point because of the price. Simply put, the state tells us Transit Road functions "as is."

We finally have a first look at I'm Still Here, the "documentary" that chronicles Joaquin Phoenix's slow transformation into Zach Galifianakis. Directed by Casey Affleck, we're given a front row seat to Phoenix's imaginary breakdown. Absolutely riveting (in an imaginary way).
The trailer has a pretty cool voice-over. Is that Edward James Olmos? I think it is. If so, somebody get that guy a job selling Ford trucks immediately.
Check it out after the jump…
Talk about an authority on the subject.
"Here we'll help you with that gunshot wound."
Here we have a trailer for FX's new comedy-drama-action series "Terriers." The latest from "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan, and stars Ghost Rider's BFF Donal Logue and Rene from "True Blood" as two unlicensed private investigators. In other words, a couple of real busy bodies. I was surprised to find out this isn't a remake of a British show. Don't they have a "Terriers." I thought they did. They totally should, right?
Check out the trailer for Hawaii 4-0 "Terriers" after the jump…
Previously on "True Blood," Sookie and Bill broke up. Crystal left her (possibly werewolf or shifter) meth dad and fiancé (two different people) for Jason. Sam took in his brother and kicked their mom and dad to the curb. Tara was having problems handling her recent Franklin trauma. Lafayette and Jesus got back together. The King tried to take Sookie forcibly (who was defended by Bill and Jess). Eric killed Talbot as retribution for The King killing his dad a thousand or so years ago. Sookie and Bill got back together. And now onto this week's episode…

Hollywood's most prominent young actresses can quit their cat fighting. Rooney Mara has been granted the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon tattoo adaptation. Her deal includes an option for two sequels based off the second and third book in the Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
Mara, younger sister of hottie Kate Mara, will run and hack computers alongside Daniel Craig, who's already been cast as the investigative journalist and part owner of the magazine Millenium. Both Robin Wright and Stellan Skarsgard are also in talks for roles. Our deepest condolences go out to Ellen Page, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Carey Mulligan, Mia Wasikowska, Emily Browning, and every other starlet who really REALLY wanted to nab the role of the decade. We hope these words help you in your time of grief: Life's unfair and stuff. (Deadline)
Settle in. It's time for another installment of my fall TV show tips. This week I'm looking at the new spy/conspiracy-type shows that promise a heavy dose of gratuitous action.
"Alias" went off the air a few seasons ago and "24" is now gone. "Human Target" is back in October, but after that, most of the espionage/government agent entries are freshman series. A couple of them seem to be packing enough intrigue to keep auds hanging around, while another isn't really blowing my skirt up.
WATCH IT: "Nikita" (CW), Thursdays at 9 pm (ET)
Sylvester Stallone choked out Julia Roberts over the weekend, and his movie also beat hers at the box office. Stallone's salute to gritty 80's action, The Expendables, easily took the top spot with $35 million. Audiences weren't as eager to see Julia Roberts get fat and f*ck. Eat, Pray, Love took the second spot with just under $24 million. Looks like the call to action worked, fellas.
Then there was Scott Pilgrim… well, Scott Pilgrim just kinda showed up, slumped its shoulders while gazing at its shoes before mumbling something about the new Arcade Fire album. Despite great reviews, producers just couldn't get fans of coin-op references and lesbian haircuts into the theater to see this one. But in all fairness, it was really sunny out in McCarren Park on Saturday. (Reuters)
Not exaaaactly film-related, but this new video from Yeasayer deserves a watch. Besides it stars a sexy Kristen Bell and she's in movies. AND, she plays an actress and that's film-related. Maybe it was even shot on film. Whatever, I don't need to justify this.
In the video for "Madder Red," Bell plays a struggling, young actress coping with the impending death of a beloved pet. Not exactly sure what the pet is though. But it's a great video, and serves as a much-needed reminder not to take the lumpy, puss-dribbling fleshballs in our lives for granted. I've really gotta call home more often.
Watch the video here.
Him and Gary Oldman should have a face-off. (WildAmmo)
Congratulations, kids! We did it! Toy Story 3, one the best animated, and live-action, movies of these past few years has become the highest grossing animated film of all time. The film has brought in more than $920 million worldwide, surpassing Dreamworks Animation's Shrek 2 ($919.8 million worldwide) for the title. All I can say is, daaaaaaaamn, that's a lot of cheddar in Woody and Buzz's pocket.
/Film points out that the price of 3D tickets must also be considered when comparing these box office numbers. Shrek 2 didn't have the benefit of charging theater patrons $20 a pop to see more stuff jump out at them. A film like The Lion King made $783.8 million worldwide in 1994, a number which would be adjusted to $1.54 billion today. Daaaaaamn, that's a lot of cheddar in Mufasa's pocket. Oh wait, he died in the film. RETROACTIVE SPOILER ALERT!
Get outta there, kid!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan IS The Courier. Whatever that means. I'm not used to movie casting news that doesn't involve seven rounds of Disney teens vying to play a superhero. It looks like Morgan is going to play a bagman that needs to deliver a briefcase to a hard-to-find crimeboss, while dodging crooked cops, gangsters, and federal agents. Why isn't Jason Statham in this? It's his whole thing — running around like a maniac and jumping his cars over drawbridges. Does this not involve driving a car? I guess Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the new on-foot Jason Statham. Tough break, Timothy Olyphant. (Deadline)

Karl Urban was offered the role of Judge Dredd a few weeks ago, and now he's officially said, "Sure, why the hell not." The film's producers Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich are determined to make this new adaptation not suck like the Stallone one did:
"The main thing about Dredd is that it's a fantastic comic that was completely messed up 20 years ago," said Macdonald. "Our idea is to make a very hard, R-rated, gritty, realistic movie of Dredd in Megacity, so we've got to get the tone right. He's not going to take off his helmet. His bike is going to feel real. He's going to hit people and it's going to feel real."
No word yet if director Pete Travis will bother developing tactile technology to literally punch audience members in the face. It seems like the next step in total entertainment immersion, but some people just aren't ready to REALLY watch movies. (Empire)
James Cameron is saying awesome things again. I love the way he talks. He's the perfect mix of Ned Flanders and drill sergeant that will stomp your mudhole. This news may come as a big "DUUUUHHHH" but the HMFIC revealed to MTV Movies Blog his plans to include underwater filming in Avatar 2.
"I think what we should do there is — because we'll have to have characters that are in and under the water — is that we should actually capture them underwater. It's not the same as going diving, but I like to keep my diving, which I do for pleasure, separate from work. Diving for shooting a movie is work. Diving for exploration is a gas. I like to keep my peas and carrots separate."
Awww… doesn't he just say the darndest things? Peas and carrots. That's some Canadian charm. Go on and tell us about the re-release of Avatar, you folksy so-and-so. I want you to be my new grandpa.
"You mean the alien kink scene? It's been restored, every last frame of it. Seriously. All 20 seconds of it."

Ricky Gervais is looking to break ground on "The Office" in the Far East. "We are about to start work on developing a Chinese "The Office,"" the comedian wrote on his blog Thursday.
The co-creator of the British and American version, and star of the former, will have to consider the difference in social mores between the countries. For instance, are bobbleheads even allowed in China offices, or is a minature plastic figure with a head that foolishly swings side to side a disgrace to formal business practices? I can't imagine a boss with a carefree management style such as Michael Scott would last very long as the head of a branch. In America, they give you a slap on the wrist for accidently spouting racist slurs. In China, your family is forced to disown you. At least, that's what SJ's China correspondent tells me. Or I assume, since I don't bother translating his emails. (THR)
Hey, here's the poster for Ben Affleck's Bank Rob Town – Population: Bankrobbers. Did you know that there are 300 bank robberies a year in Boston? It's true. OR, SO THE TRAILER FOR THE TOWN WOULD LIKE YOU TO BELIEVE.
I've actually checked the FBI crime stats for the past 10 years. On the low end it's 140 per year, and on the high it's 300 bank jobs per year (225 average)… for the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Affleck cooked the numbers. If he had said "Greater Boston area" I'd let it go. Now I can't.
Enjoy your nun dress, jerk.
Warner Bros is determined to bring back that rascally rabbit Bugs Bunny, sans Brendan Fraser and Michael Jordan this time. David Berenbaum (The Spiderwick Chronicles) has been hired to write Bugs Bunny, a live action/CG feature film. The studio must want to jump on the new wave of reviving old cartoon characters through the use of computer magic. As of late, we've been subjected to Marmaduke, The Smurfs, and Yogi Bear, and now the "Looney Tunes" bin is being raided.
I've been a huge fan of Bugs Bunny for as long as I can remember. The "Looney Tunes" cartoons were way ahead of their time, and the talented Mel Blanc, who voiced Bugs along with Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig, managed to create a stable of characters whose catch phrases will live on forever. I especially enjoyed when he'd raise his voice an octive when Bugs dressed up like a girl bunny. There's a fine line between pre-op and post-op delivery, and he nailed it. (Deadline)
I know I'm not alone in citing The Empire Strikes Back as my favorite Star Wars film. It built upon the mythos presented in the original and expanded the universe in very cool ways and played up the darker tones without transparently trying to sell more toys. And it didn't include Ewoks. Gary Kurtz was George Lucas's partner for the first two films in the saga, and now he's speaking out for the first time about what makes the series suck now. Namely, it's Lucas's greed and desire to sell more toys. Beam me up (or something) LA Times!
"I could see where things were headed. The toy business began to drive the [Lucasfilm] empire. It's a shame. They make three times as much on toys as they do on films. It's natural to make decisions that protect the toy business but that's not the best thing for making quality films…. The first film and 'Empire' were about story and character, but I could see that George's priorities were changing. The emphasis on the toys, it's like the cart driving the horse."
Oh snap! Equestrian BURN.
"We had an outline [for the third film] and George changed everything in it. Instead of bittersweet and poignant he wanted a euphoric ending with everybody happy. The original idea was that they would recover [the kidnapped] Han Solo in the early part of the story and that he would then die in the middle part of the film in a raid on an Imperial base. George then decided he didn't want any of the principals killed. By that time there were really big toy sales and that was a reason."
That totally almost explains Jabba's faaaabulous uncle, Ziro the Hutt.
"Mmmmm… giiiiiiirrrrrlllllll!!!!!"
Good news for fans of killer robots from the future. A bunch of production companies you've never heard of are developing Terminator 3000, a proposed $70 million, 3D animated feature.
Although plot details are sparse, the film will involve characters from the original Terminator. However, what we do know is that those involved with the production are keeping violence to a minimum in order to avoid an R rating. After all, we wouldn't want a movie about blood-thirsty cyborgs from a post-apocalyptic hell hole to get too violent. What if someone wants to take their grandma, or maybe their 4-year-old daughter? Terminator was meant for the whole family. (Coming Soon)
Do one thing and do it well.
The Justin Bieber biopic has found its director, and a more fitting choice could not have been made. His name: Jon Chu.
"Who's Jon Chu," you ask? Oh, I don't know. He's only the director behind a little film called Step Up 3D, 2010's hottest dance based 3D movie! That's who Jon Chu is, b*tch! Who the hell are you?
Cinema Blend is reporting that over 20 directors applied for the job, but Chu ultimately won out because of his previous experience with 3D films. That, and he was the only one of the bunch who wasn't a convicted sex offender.
Rest easy, Justin. Jon Chu won't try to touch you in your bikini area.

On July 31st, over 500 people (nerds) gathered at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada to participate in a massive Jedi vs. Sith lightsaber battle. The event was held by Newmindspace, an interactive public art dissemenation based in New York and Toronto. In addition to the lightsaber battles, they've organized massive bubble baths, pillow fights, and blanket forts. And no, none were populated by women in baby doll pajamas.

It seems Ryan Reynolds's washboard abs are nabbing all the juicy roles these days. Green Lantern himself has emerged as the front runner to play opposite Denzel Washington in Safe House. Washington signed on a few weeks ago as the film's villain, and Reynolds would be the hero, "a young CIA agent who must transport a dangerous criminal to safety after both are attacked at a safe house."
Some very talented young actors have been vying for the role, including Shia LeBeouf, Taylor Kitsch, Chris Pine, Sam Worthington, Garrett Hedlund, Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, Chris Hemsworth, and Jake Gyllenhaal. No final decision has been made, so we can't give Reynolds the crown just yet. I have it on good authority that Universal Studios will be closing down the gym at a local YMCA to award the role. All of the actors will be filed in and a broken pool cue dropped in the middle of them. My money's still on Deadpool. (Deadline)
There's been some rumblings that Warner Bros. wants to move forward with a Green Lantern trilogy, with plans to film the second and third films back-to-back. Which I think is a thinly-veiled ploy to spend more time hanging around Blake Lively. I see what you're doing there, Warners.
However should this happen, it's going to severly screw up the production of the Deadpool movie that nobody wants to see by tying up Ryan Reynolds. Deadpool co-creater Rob Liefeld may or may not have inside knowledge about the project, but he definitely has an opinion on how things should go. From his Twitter:
"Warner Bros. just trying to protect their investment. They don't want Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool AND Green Lantern. Interesting 2 watch"
"Please direct Deadpool @RobertRdz !!!!! I'm not above begging! Thanks!"
"Bottom line about Deadpool film is that if FOX doesn't pull the DP film together with Ryan Reynolds between GL films-they should Hari Kari"
"Ryan Reynolds is the new Will Smith, if FOX can't maximize this window of opportunity with this star, this character, that script=MASSV FAIL"
"You have it reversed @GeekTyrant it's Warners that wants to film back 2 back GL's and disrupt Deadpool. Not FOX!! Get it right!"
Nice, GeekTyrant. Now he's all worked up. It's going to be impossible to get him down for his nap now. (via Bleeding Cool)
There is the right way, the wrong way, and the Jason Statham way to handle life's problems. To live by the Statham way means kicking as much possible ass with a cool British smokers accent and still not break a sweat. Statham, the former olympic swimming diver, turned mega action star shows that you should never mess with Union Jack in a dark alleyway or street fight. With The Expendables opening this week, Statham shows how a tough guy should act and still keep his cool, remember head butt first and ask questions later, mate.

There was this large plastic bin that I had growing up filled with action figures and their various weapon accessories. From Duke Nuk'em to The Terminator, the original 90s Batman series, metal figure G.I Joes, Aliens, X-Men, Biker Mice from Mars, Ghostbusters, Toxic Crusaders and others that I have now forgot. They traveled with me wherever I moved during those years. They were my friends, enemies, and characters to create.

"No funny stuff, lady."
Josh Brolin is considering letting Charlize Theron ruin his life. I thought Jonah Hex already took care of that, but I guess not. Brolin is up for the role of Charlize's ex-boyfriend in Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody's next collabo Young Adult. If he signs on, Brolin will play the former high school sweetheart to Theron's successful YA author, who she decides to stalk. I hate when statuesque model types try to break themselves off a piece o' this.
The movie is said to have a few humorous moments, but for the most part it will be "pretty serious and f*cked up." Just like that E.T. porno that's been making the rounds. No, I won't link you. Look it up, perv. (Showbiz 411)

You've been waiting years to touch Christina Hendricks and now eBay is making it possible. A 10-day "Mad Men" auction goes live on Thursday in which some of the items up for bid are a walk-on role on the show, furniture and props from Sterling Cooper, and dresses that have graced the skin of both Betty Draper (January Jones) and Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks). Imagine the things you could do with those dresses, as long as you have the matching shoes, of course.
A portion of the proceeds from the auction will go to the lung cancer program at southern California's City of Hope hospital. The other portion will go to the January-Jones-F*cked-Up-Again fund. You can start bidding tomorrow HERE. Make sure your PayPal accounts are in order. Christina Hendricks's dress waits for no nerd. (Vulture)

Dianthus are garden classics, appearing in many shapes and colors, most with blue/green or blue frosted quill-like foliage. Long blooming, perfect for small bouquets-most are fragrant. A cottage garden is not complete without several Dianthus. All are heat tolerant and low maintenance beauties. Dianthus barbatus self-sows readily.
Allow seed to fall for future plants. Do not prune for winter, but clean up in spring.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Round 2: Starts at November the 1st and will end on November the 15th. In this round you can only vote for 1 song. The song with the most votes wins and will be featured HERE.
If you wish to be reminded when a new round starts/an old one ends I can send you a PM. Just say so and I will try my best to inform you on the specific dates.
Of course it's not just about voting, you can discuss the songs to your heart's content and tell us your opinion. Just make sure to stay friendly, any form of bashing/flaming won't be tolerated.
Here's the playlist will all the songs, I hope you will enjoy listening to them~
Please inform me if a song should not work, I will try to find a new link as soon as possible.
Also there are some things to note:
1. Bakuman Season 2: Very difficult to find a source so the first 30 seconds are actually part of the ep, you should only consider the song who starts around 0:30. Again I will replace it if I find another source.
Edit: Added "real" Guilty Crown OP
And now have fun voting and discussing!
---------- Post added October 25, 2011 at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was October 18, 2011 at 10:36 PM ----------
People please start to vote and if you would like to, tell me/us your opinion about your favourite songs!

But if you want my real opinion. You've posted a list of over 20 songs, which I'm sure 9 out of 10 people don't know, and if you expect them to vote, they should know all of the songs. Now we just use simple math to understand that 20 songs x 3-4 minutes each = 60-80 minutes of wasted time only to listen to new songs.
The idea of this thread is good, but I think you should either make the list smaller, or choose more famous songs for starters. You can still add more later.
well isn't one of the purposes to get to know songs you don't know? Just throwing in famous songs is kinda boring too. That's why I made a playlist, fairly easy to listen to the unknown songs.
I would agree about the time part but that's why I only used the openings (most full songs aren't even out yet) so each song is only 1,30 min long, means 26 minutes to listen to all songs. Not that much a problem I suppose, it's not like you need to listen to all of them in a row. Still next time it will have less competitors, could very well be a reason if you don't know that the songs are only 1,30 min long.
Thanks for the advice gamma!
We should have another J-Music Contest, but this time we should make it about the OP/ED songs of this winter anime season. In fact, I would like to nominate the following song as one of the contenders :

Orioles Made Extension Offer To Wieters
By Steve Adams [April 3, 2013 at 3:33pm CST]
The Orioles recently offered a contract extension of at least five years to Matt Wieters, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. However, Heyman adds that there is no evidence that the two sides are anywhere near an agreement. Wieters is a client of the Boras Corporation.
Wieters, who can become a free agent following the 2015 season, avoided arbitration with the Orioles this offseason by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $5.5MM. Heyman notes that the bar for catchers has been raised significantly with Buster Posey's extension, but it's safe to say the two aren't exactly comparables. Posey already has a Rookie of the Year, an MVP and two World Series titles under his belt. His .317/.384/.509 batting line from 2010-12 is also far superior to Wieters' .253/.326/.423 performance during that same span.
A look at MLBTR's Extension Tracker shows that catchers with between three and four years of service time have typically signed extensions worth $15-16MM. That's too low for Wieters, whose salary is already north of $5MM. A number closer to Miguel Montero's five-year, $60MM contract with the Diamondbacks could be more reasonable, though Montero was just one year from free agency when he signed that deal.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dyingby Sogyal Rinpoche
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"What is it I hope for from this book? To inspire a quiet revolution in the whole way we look at health and care for the dying, and the whole way we look at life and care for the living."
This acclaimed spiritual masterpiece is widely regarded as one of the most complete and authoritative presen-tations of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings ever written. A manual for life and death and a magnificent source of sacred inspiration from the heart of the Tibetan tradition, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying provides a lucid and inspiring intro-duction to the practice of meditation, to the nature of mind, to karma and rebirth, to compassionate love and care for the dying, and to the trials and rewards of the spiritual path.
Buddhist meditation master and international teacher Sogyal Rinpoche brings together the ancient wisdom of Tibet with modern research on death and dying and the nature of the universe. With unprecedented scope, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying clarifies the majestic vision of life and death that underlies the classic sacred text The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Sogyal Rinpoche presents simple yet powerful practices from the heart of the Tibetan tradition that anyone, whatever their religion or background, can do to transform their lives, prepare for death, and help the dying.
"A magnificent achievement. In its power to touch the heart, to awaken consciousness, [The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying] is an inestimable gift."
—San Francisco Chronicle
A newly revised and updated edition of the internationally bestselling spiritual classic, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, written by Sogyal Rinpoche, is the ultimate introduction to Tibetan Buddhist wisdom. An enlightening, inspiring, and comforting manual for life and death that the New York Times calls, "The Tibetan equivalent of [Dantes] The Divine Comedy," this is the essential work that moved Huston Smith, author of The Worlds Religions, to proclaim, "I have encountered no book on the interplay of life and death that is more comprehensive, practical, and wise."
In the tradition of the bestselling Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, this inspirational guide presents 365 thought-provoking meditations on life, death, doubt, mindfulness, compassion, wisdom, and work. "As a guide to the Tibetan tradition and its insights into life and death, Sogyal Rinpoche is without peer".--New York Times Book Review.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 406-408) and index.
About the Author
Sogyal Rinpoche was born in Tibet and raised by one of the most revered spiritual masters of this century, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. With the Chinese occu-pation of Tibet, he went into exile with his master, who died in 1959 in Sikkim in the Himalayas. After university studies in Delhi and Cambridge, England, he acted as translator and aide to several leading Tibetan masters, and began teaching in the West in 1974. Rinpoche sees his life's task as transplanting the wisdom of the Buddha to the West by offering training in the vision set out in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. This training can enable those who follow it to understand, embody, and integrate Buddhist teachings into their everyday lives.
Rinpoche's reputation as an authority on the teachings associated with The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and his dialogue with leading figures in the fields of psychology, science, and healing make him a sought-after speaker at international conferences and lectures. He travels extensively, teaching in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, and is the founder and spiritual director of Rigpa, a network of Buddhist centers and groups around the world.

VIDEO: Nets Co-Owner Bruce Ratner Makes Cameo on Isles Telecast
This interview was about as big a surprise as they come. Nets co-owner and Forest City Ratner CEO Bruce Ratner stopped by the MSG broadcast booth for an interview with Howie Rose during tonight's Islanders/Flyers game. The segment started with a short aside about the Islanders heading to Brooklyn for a pre-season game — and that's all it was, a short aside — and then veered towards relocation talk. This was a clear nudge to Nassau as well as Islander fans in regards to the Islanders' future. Ratner played the role of politician perfectly, restating the company line that the Islanders hope to work something out with Nassau and that he wants to see them stay in New York but we all know the true reasoning. Let the games
begin continue…
h/t as always to Keith on the video

Most everyone dreams of a world where people are happy and can live in peace with each other. Yet in this age of marvelous technological advances, a better understanding of the human race than any time in history, we seem farther away than ever from achieving any goal near that.
All through the ages people have longed for happiness and peace. Last Friday night there was a special on television's "20/20" about happiness and a study that had been done about where the happiest place in the world was. Based on researchers studies they found that Denmark is the happiest country on the planet. This small fairly non-descript country, has apparently figured out what happiness is, and it's obviously not continuous sunshine (based on their latitude) like many in our country believe.
Denmark has developed a social system in which people are the focus and materialism is played down. Many people ride bicycles everywhere they go despite the fact they have a high standard of living and most can afford and even own cars. Over 90 percent of the people in the country belong to some kind of social organization. Crime rates are very low. In one scene in the documentary they showed baby carriages lined up in front of a restaurant with babies in them and no one watching them. No one apparently worries that someone will snatch their kids.
To support the social fabric of the country however taxes are more than a bit higher than they are in the United States; over 60 percent of a Danish citizens income goes to the government.
Now studies are just that; they are often generalizations. I am sure there are a number of unhappy people in Denmark. There are depressed people who see nothing but the gloom and doom in the world and those that are down on everything. But I guess as a general rule, the Danish are happy people.
For me there are two questions to ask about this.
How do we define happiness and are people in Carbon County happy people?
Happiness is fleeting. I didn't see the survey or how they did the study in Denmark, but I am sure it measured some types of long term feelings. I know for myself one day I will be happy as heck and the next day I can be a grump and everything looks black. But as a whole I feel I am a pretty happy person, despite some setbacks that often temporarily derail my happiness train.
I once worked with a guy that told me that we need some unhappiness in our life to understand what happiness is. He told me that people who think they need to be happy all the time are the most unhappy of human beings, because they don't see the overall picture very well. At first I was taken back by his comments, but as I thought about it, and grew older I come to appreciate what he means. I know my life has been full of happy times, punctuated by periods of disaster or unhappy situations.
While I am not a religious person, I think basing happiness just on this world is a mistake. We need to be able to see beyond our personal lives and our plain of existence and realize how good we have it, even if our lives don't seem as good as our neighbors. Americans tend to judge life on what we have and what we do for a living. If you have ever talked to people from many lands outside our countries direct influence, their judgements about life tends to be on family and relationships, including those with spiritual connotations.
Happiness may be different for each person, and each individual should follow the path that makes them feel the best. The trick is finding that path. I have met very wealthy people who are very unhappy and those that are very poor that know what life is about and are content with it. The secret lies within each of us, not in someone else's idea of what is important.
By the way, in the rankings of the happiest countries in the world the United States places well down the line, somewhere around 30th. Some would say that is because we are too materialistic, others would see that as good sign because we are always striving to move forward and are not satisfied with the status quo. It's all in the interpretation.
Look at it any way you want. Just like happiness, how we perceive that ranking is based on what we find to be important in life.
