Chapter Sixty-Two: The Rainbow Opera
I jerked upright, wrenching my head from the desk and mumbling incoherently.
I think that probably deserves a detention, don't you?"
Blink. Blink. My eyes refocused. I was...
Ah. This was bad.
I was in the middle of a History lesson. The
that had awoken me was the crack of a ruler against a desk. That ruler was held in the hand of a teacher. And that teacher was looking down at me with the sort of glare that only people in authority can actually perform. And, last but by no means least, that glare had its own group of back-up stares, executed masterfully by my twenty-odd classmates.
Uh... sorry?" I offered hopefully.
That's a nice sentiment," the teacher said. "See you Saturday. If you can stay awake that long."
Damn it. This was the fifth week running – though I had to admit, it was the first time that the cause of my detention had been falling asleep.
Ms. Harwood went back to the front of the class, and I sat and suffered through another thirty minutes of the Kantan Wars of Independence. Distractedly, I noticed that someone had scribbled some graffiti on the whiteboard: a picture of an unfamiliar Pokémon shaped like a rather spiky light bulb. It was quite good; I guessed it must have been Elle who'd done it. She was in this class, was the best artist in the year, and just stupid enough to draw pictures on the board belonging to Ms. Harwood of all people.
Thankfully, this was the last lesson of the day, and as soon as the bell rang I grabbed my bag and left before anything else bad happened. Stepping out into the corridor, I let myself be caught in the tide of bodies moving towards the exit; I'm not sure why, but this gets you out of the building a lot faster than actually trying. Unless you're Jack Spiegelman – but he does free running in his spare time and always leaves school via a window, or the roof, or somewhere weird like that.
Someone fell into step beside me.
Yo," he said. I looked at him.
Hey, Luke."
Hi," said someone on my other side. I looked at her.
Hey, Bea."
Let me guess," said Luke, "you're not free tomorrow morning, are you?"
I winced.
I'm right, then," Luke went on, smiling incredulously. "Jeez, what'd you do this time?"
I fell asleep in History," I said, which got a laugh.
How do you do it?" asked Beatrix. "Every single week..."
I don't know!" I cried forlornly. "I just can't do anything right." I sighed. "I'm bad at life."
No, you're bad at
," Beatrix corrected. "It's Luke who's bad at life."
Luke looked wounded.
," he said. "What was that for?"
We were talking about this during Hoennian. Don't you remember? You turn up late to everything, you have insomnia, you wreck pretty much everyone and everything you meet and do...?"
Oh yeah," said Luke, wagging a mnemonic finger, "I remember now. Yeah, I
bad at life."
See, this lets us build up a sort of three-tiered system of uselessness," I put in. "Luke, you're bottom, because you're bad at life. I'm in the middle, because I'm only bad at school. And—"
I'm at the top!" finished Beatrix, throwing up her hands in mock celebration. "Woo hoo! I'm better than both of you."
Yes, but this is relative to normal people," I reminded her. "Remember, it's a scale of uselessness. Let's say our benchmark normal person is... Marvin."
A collective shudder went through us. It was all very comical.
He's so
," complained Beatrix.
I know," said Luke. "That's why you should be glad you're worse than him. It makes you interesting."
How am I worse than him?" asked Beatrix. "I mean, how am I useless?"
At this point, we came to the main entrance, and poured out into the sun. Someone bumped into me quite forcefully, and muttered:
, Kester."
I turned around and gave them a rude gesture; I'd fallen asleep
. That was nothing to be ashamed of.
Hey, who was that?" asked Luke. He and Beatrix had stopped at the gate to look back.
I don't know. Someone from my History class, I bet."
We went over to the shed and picked up our bikes; my school is nowhere near anyone's house, which is both impossible and very annoying, and also means you need to either drive or cycle there. Since none of us could drive yet – though I was learning to ride a Vespa – we cycled.
I was asking how I'm useless."
I looked at Luke, and he went red.
I don't really want to say," he said cautiously. "I mean, it's not my place."
If it isn't yours, it's no one's," I pointed out. "You're her boyfriend, you should know."
What?" Beatrix looked outraged. "This better not be what I think it is!"
It's not!" Luke said, raising a pacifying hand.
Tell me then!"
We turned the corner and headed down Blackmoss Street. As we passed the electronics store, I glanced at the TVs in the windows, and saw that the light bulb Pokémon was on every screen, saying something inaudible. I stopped and stared at them, frowning.
Kester?" It was Beatrix this time. "What is it?"
I saw this Pokémon on the whiteboard in History," I said, pointing. "I think Elle drew it there. Weird..."
It's called a coincidence," Luke told me. "Come on. I'm hungry."
You're always hungry," Beatrix told him, riding close to him and forcing him into the road, which angered a passing motorist so much that he sounded his horn continuously for about two minutes.
What's his problem?" I wondered. "He didn't hit you."
I could've died!" cried Luke. "Jeez, Bea..."
She made a mouth of one hand and mimed excessive chattering, so Luke shoved her off her bike and into a hedge.
You can't do that to me," she protested, getting out and back on her bike. "You're meant to like me!"
And I
," Luke countered. "Very much so. But you're also really annoying sometimes."
And to think this is all because I said Bea was the least useless," I said, shaking my head. "I hope I haven't ruined your relationship."
Both Luke and Beatrix braked hard and rounded on me.
I shrugged.
What can I say?" I answered nonchalantly. "I'm a villainous sort of guy, I guess...
You're so not funny," Beatrix told me.
Neither was that," I replied, rubbing my head. "Luke, pick on someone your own size."
Luke's dad was Canadian and his mum, Kantan; therefore, he was much, much taller than your average Hoennian, and also trilingual, which is cool. I mean, I only speak Hoennian and about seven words of Sinnish.
Look, let's just forget it," he said calmly. "You've set us against each other, I've exacted revenge. We're all cool now."
All right," I agreed. "Come on, then, or they'll be closed before we get there."
They're open til seven," pointed out Beatrix.
I didn't mean it literally!"
I know."
Beatrix was possibly the most irritating person I knew. She took everything literally and threw it back in your face, just for fun – which not only made idioms tricky, but gave her an annoying immunity to sarcasm. In fact, I'm not entirely sure why we were such good friends. Sometimes I thought that if we met for the first time today, we'd hate each other.
About half an hour later, we reached the café; small, brightly-coloured and cheap, it was our usual refuelling point on the way home. I'm not sure when we started going here, but it was something of a tradition now, and we rarely broke it.
As we drew to a halt outside, all three of us looked up at the sign and frowned.
They've changed the name," Luke said, looking surprised. "Why would they do that"?
I don't know," I said. "We should ask."
Where the sign had once read 'Orange Café', it now read
I think it might be under new management," said Beatrix. "That's not Hoennian."
Luke? Is it English?"
He looked at me as if I had suddenly declared myself to be a fire hydrant.
Does it look like English?" he asked witheringly. "No, it's... Russian or something."
The 'CLOSED' sign is in the door," said Beatrix. "And if you look in the windows..."
We did, and saw the paraphernalia of rebuilding and redecorating strewn over the floor: paint-stripper, sledgehammers, screwdrivers, bundles of cable, paint, and a large pile of broken chairs and tables.
I guess someone bought it," I said slowly. "And they're making it into something else."
All three of us bowed our heads for a moment in sorrow. Then we got on our bikes and rode away.
This is awful," said Luke after a while. "I can't believe..."
I know," replied Beatrix sympathetically, "I know."
We rode past the skatepark, which at four o'clock in the afternoon was empty except for its accompan
ying graffiti. I glanced at it, and almost fell off my bike.
OK, this is getting weird now," I said nervously, braking.
What is it?" asked Beatrix, stopping.
I pointed.
. That's really creepy."
The orange light bulb-shaped Pokémon had been spray-painted onto the back wall of the half-pipe. Clearly visible from the road, it was looking out at us, and had a speech bubble next to its head that read:
That's beyond a joke," said Luke, staring. "That's actually quite scary."
Kester? Are you OK?" asked Beatrix.
I barely heard her; my mind was full of orange Pokémon. Something about it seemed familiar...
Wake up, Kester! Come
, I'm so bored!
I blinked.
Did – did you hear that?" I asked, looking around.
Hear what?" asked Luke.
Oh. Nothing, I guess..." I looked at the painting for a while longer. "Do either of you know what sort of Pokémon that is?"
No," replied Beatrix. "Luke?"
Me neither." He paused for a moment, thinking. "The library's a couple of blocks away. Let's look it up."
I think that would be a very good idea," I said, tearing my eyes away from the picture. "Come on. Let's go."
And so we rode off towards the library, severely freaked-out and not a little terrified.
I have to ask you a question now," said Steven, "and I'm afraid the wrong answer might have disastrous consequences."
The doctor gulped.
Er, what's the question?"
Will you swear not to reveal anything that you see in this room to anyone? Ever?"
The doctor took a step back under the force of Steven's eyes; they blazed like stars, or rebel diamonds cut out of the sun.
Um... OK," he said. "I'll do that."
Very well." Steven rapped on the door. "Sapphire, I've got the doctor."
It opened in a trice, and a pale-faced, anxious girl with black hair and glasses looked out at them.
Please," she said urgently, "hurry!"
Sapphire grabbed the doctor's wrist and pulled him over to the sofa, where Kester currently lay; next to him was Felicity, looking, if anything, even more worried than Sapphire. Next to
was the scorch-mark, but it, callous creature that it was, didn't seem worried at all.
The doctor took a long look at Kester, and frowned deeply. Sapphire watched nervously; did this mean things were worse than they looked?
Why," he asked, "is he wearing lipstick?"
It was a disguise – oh, get on with your job!" cried Steven.
The doctor raised his eyebrows, sighed and got out his black medicine bag. It looked like it was going to be a long, long night.
Excuse me," I said to the librarian, "do you have any encyclopaedias on Pokémon?"
He struck an attitude of thought, scratching his chin and staring above our heads into the middle distance.
Uh... hello?"
Yes," he said. "Over there, right at the back of the reference section."
Thanks," I said, and walked off. "Over there," I repeated to Beatrix and Luke, and pointed.
I don't like him," Beatrix informed us. "Every time I come in, he's the librarian on duty, and it takes so long to find books with him around."
Beatrix was the only one of us who actually read for pleasure; Luke and I were more the video-game-playing type. None of us would ever have even considered any form of exercise, which explained our fantastic physiques.
I can imagine," I replied. "He's
We reached the reference section and set to searching the shelves; a couple of minutes later, Luke came up with a thick book containing information on all 932 Pokémon thus far discovered, plus (so the cover advertised) exciting speculation on several Pokémon that might possibly be found to exist in the future.
This ought to have it," he stated unnecessarily, and dropped it with a
on the table, which drew a disapproving
from both Beatrix and the librarian. "Sorry," he whispered back, "I'm bad at life."
I started flipping through the book, looking at the pictures to see if any of them matched up with the Pokémon I'd seen. Some of the Ghosts, I noted with interest, didn't show up on camera, and so there were drawings of them instead of photographs. After a moment, Beatrix snatched the book off me.
Look," she said in an exasperated voice, "from the picture, it's obviously an Electric-type, so go to that section and look there."
All right, sorry," I said. "You do it."
weird stalkerish picture-Pokémon," Beatrix replied. "You do it."
'Weird stalkerish picture-Pokémon?'" I repeated. "That's got to be the weirdest way of saying anything, ever."
Beatrix smiled, and smothered a laugh; Luke wasn't so guarded, and got shushed again for the ensuing guffaw.
Sorry," he said again. "I'm
bad at life."
That isn't an excuse," Beatrix told him as I flipped through the Electric-type section.
Yes it is," Luke said. "It explains everything I do, doesn't it?"
Oh, shut up."
Got it," I said. "It's called a Rotom, and..."
I trailed off as I read the rest of the page.
What is it?" asked Luke. Then he saw it. "
Yeah," I said quietly. "Oh."
What...?" Beatrix read it, and then she went 'Oh' as well.
For underneath the heading 'ROTOM' and the image of a spiky orange Pokémon was just one sentence, repeated over and over until it filled the entire page:
I went cold. I thought that just happened in movies and books, but it actually happened: I felt like I'd just been buried in snow, and a shiver ran down my spine.
What do we do now?" I whispered, looking up at my friends. "This is... I don't know what this is. But it's sure as hell the scariest thing that's ever happened to me."
I don't know," replied Beatrix, who looked as frightened as I felt. "Maybe... we should keep looking. If we can find out what this Pokémon is... maybe we can work out what it wants with you."
You think it's this Pokémon doing it?" I asked.
It could be," Beatrix said defensively.
Or it could be someone using Rotom as their symbol," suggested Luke. "Maybe..." He snapped his fingers. "Kester, you said you thought Elle had drawn the Rotom on the board at school. D'you think she's behind it?"
I stared at him as if he'd grown an extra arm.
What? Why?
She could have done the painting at the skatepark," Luke said. "I mean, it wouldn't be hard to figure out we go past there on the way home."
But how would she have done the TVs? Or this book?" I asked.
Luke's face assumed that embarrassed expression that faces take on when their owners have just been proved horribly wrong.
Oh yeah," he said.
Guys, over here," called Beatrix from one of the computers, and we went.
What is it, Bea?" asked Luke.
I Googled Rotom," she replied, "and I've got some information. Straight from that most reliable of sources, Wikipedia."
Rotom are trickster spirits," I read aloud. "They enter machines and take control of them, causing havoc in towns and cities. Only appearing with the advent of computers and in particular the Internet, they have since spread across much of the world, travelling via email, aeroplane or even telephone wire." I broke off. "Is there one here? Is this meant to be a joke on me? Because I'm not laughing."
I don't know," Beatrix replied. "But it's a start, isn't it?"
Scroll down," said Luke. "We'll read more."
We did scroll down, and what we read was this:
I made a very effeminate and undignified noise and recoiled from the screen in shock.
OK," said Beatrix, effortfully remaining calm, "that's obviously not an option. Let's try a different site."
She clicked back to the Google search, and, scrolling past such intriguingly-titled pages as
The Thinking Man's Guide to Destroying the World
World's Most Wanted Art Thieves
, clicked on a link that purported to take us to Professor Oak's famous Pokémon Index Project. The page on Rotom came up, and told us very little that we didn't already know. When Beatrix clicked on a promising-looking link, a pop-up came up and told me to wake up.
Is this all about falling asleep in History?" I wondered. "No one knows about that except the people in my History class."
Could someone have noticed you were falling asleep, decided to do this to you, drawn the Rotom on the board so you'd notice later and then, after school, run to the electronics store and the skatepark and get everything done there?" suggested Luke.
Your ideas really are stupid today," I said, at which he slumped. "But it's the only vaguely plausible explanation, isn't it? This can't all be a coincidence..."
He perked up again at that.
Yeah! I'm right for once!"
Sssh!" said the librarian violently.
Sorry," whispered Luke, abashed. "I'm bad—"
Sometimes I wonder why I go out with you," sighed Beatrix. "Any sensible person wouldn't be caught dead in the same room as you."
So Kester, can you make a list of everyone in your History class?" asked Luke, studiously ignoring her.
Uh... Elle Driver, Laurence White, Thom Garp, Jenny Haniver, John Doe... er... Nikki Bueller, Sam Pepys, Andy Beluga, Mona Lawson, Naomi Trent..." I paused, and thought some more. "Give me a moment... Sam Byrne, Simeon Hancock, Sabrina – actually, what's her surname? Sabrina with the blonde hair?"
Dunno," replied Luke.
It's Parsons," Beatrix said. "Anyone else?"
Yeah. Nicola Montana, Chris Sawyer, Dani Shalott, Tycho Stradareus, Colophonius van Bismarck and Zoe Tripe."
OK," said Beatrix. "How many of those people would want to mess with you like this?"
Absolutely none," I replied. "I know most of them. Those I don't, don't dislike me."
Not even Andy?" asked Luke hopefully. "He's got those shifty eyes."
You can't say that," I pointed out. "He has two lazy eyes."
Oh, is
what it is?"
Luke, shut up," said Beatrix sweetly. Then she turned to me. "Are you absolutely certain, Kester? Because this is our only lead."
I thought.
Yep," I affirmed. "None of them would do this."
In that case, there's no explanation," she said simply. "And we have to face the possibility that this might be that Pokémon itself, playing some sort of sick joke on you."
I felt a shiver run down my spine again, and it reminded me of something; long-forgotten words, maybe, that hovered on the edge of my mind:
Sorry. That was one of mine
Fingers snapped in front of my eyes, and I blinked.
Kester, you OK?" asked Luke. "You zoned out for a moment there..."
I remembered something," I replied quietly. "Something about the Rotom..." I looked up sharply, an idea slotting into place from nowhere. "We need to go to the hospital."
All right, is everyone here?"
Archie's voice boomed throughout the submarine, his faux-Bronx mumble magnified a thousand times by the echoes in the corridors. There was no real way of telling if everyone
there, or even if anyone had heard him, but he nodded to himself in a satisfied sort of way.
All right," he said again, and turned to the helmsman. "Dive!"
We have, sir," the helmsman pointed out, a trifle uncertainly. "We've been waiting for the next tide to get out of here."
Oh." Archie considered this, then nodded. "Difficult to tell," he said at last. "It's dark down here."
This was a valid point. They had turned the lights in their headquarters off to save on the electricity bill before they left, and so it was now uniformly dark both under and above the water. (Naturally, Archie had arranged for a neighbour to come around at about seven o'clock at night and turn the lights on again each day that they were out, so as to deter thieves.)
It is, sir," agreed the helmsman. "Don't worry yourself, now. Go and sit down somewhere; the tide is due in about twenty minutes."
All right," Archie said for the third time. "Good job."
He left the bridge, a strange tingling sensation thrumming in his limbs; he felt excited and wary all at once, and slightly overwhelmed. It was just – well, in a few days' time, they'd be at the cavern, and a day or two after that (assuming the standard level of druidic traps were in place) they'd have the Orb. From then on, it would just be a matter of time until Kyogre was back, and the Team finally had the power they'd been seeking for so long.
And it was all a bit too much, to be perfectly honest.
Archie was a criminal mastermind, of that there could be no doubt – but he was also a rather ordinary man with a slight obsession with
The Godfather
. And rather ordinary men often find that the extraordinary things to which they aspire aren't actually so extraordinarily wonderful as all that, when they get them.
They find it's all a bit too much.
Archie hailed from the Lincolnshire industrial town of S****horpe, in England, and concurred with the words of the erstwhile Mister Milligan that S****horpe was a joke. He had moved as far away as possible as swiftly as possible, and hence had found himself, at the age of eighteen, adrift in Hoenn with no money and no grasp of the language – in fact, with nothing at all save an abiding love of organised crime.
This was the point in the story at which Archie usually quoted
. Since the astute reader will doubtless have seen it coming, I shall refrain from repeating the precise quotation and continue with the story.
The young Archie had then become involved with the Magmas, who had, as the modern parlance would have it, 'screwed him over', which precipitated his defection to the Aquas, and ignited in him a burning hatred of the reds. He had risen swiftly, and now he was the most successful leader the Aquas had had for a long time, and the one who would bring them all to a glorious new height of power.
And, speaking frankly, as a young man of impecunious provenance from S****horpe, it was all a b
it too much.
But then again, he
a criminal mastermind. And he
a bit insane.
was all right then, because even if it was a bit too much, he was Archie Taniebre, and he was damned if he was going to turn back now and miss out on the chance to rid the world of the goddamn Magmas forever.
In his cabin, Archie leaned back in his chair, and smiled happily to himself. The end was nigh, and he was at the forefront of it.
I don't think I've ever seen so many broken bones in one body," the doctor said, straightening up and wiping his brow. "It's like he picked a fight with a cement mixer."
That, my good man, is a singularly unwanted comment," Steven said pointedly, and the doctor coughed and looked down.
But he's going to be all right now, right?" Sapphire asked insistently.
I'm certain," replied the doctor cheerfully. "Pokémon bones heal well; the infusions ought to deal with them, though the blood transfusion was a bit tricky – jolly difficult to plug a bag of blood into the mains."
They had, of course, been forced to tell him that Kester was in a rather unusual position when it came to what exactly his species was; indeed, that was why Steven had contacted this particular doctor. He was a Nurse Joy who had also trained as a doctor, and provided a unique service in Lilycove's underworld, healing both wounded gangsters and their Pokémon. It was part his job that he asked no questions in return for prompt payment, too, and, all in all, he had been the perfect candidate to treat a semi-Pokémon boy who had to be kept secret for fear of Devon finding him.
When will he wake up, do you know?" asked Sapphire.
The doctor shrugged.
No idea," he replied. "Could be in five minutes, could be tomorrow, could be... never."
Sapphire said nothing, but she closed her eyes and turned her face upwards.
Thank you," Felicity said, at which the doctor turned, surprised; it was the first thing she'd said since he'd arrived. "I am sure you have done your best," she went on. "Kester will be fine."
Hm. Well, when you put it like that," the doctor replied, rather gratified that someone was appreciating him for once. Your average gangster was an ungrateful sort of person, not given to handing out praise. This made a nice change.
I am certain of it," Felicity said in her soft, stilted voice. She looked down at Kester, or what was visible of him beneath the bandages. "I am certain he'll be all right..."

I'm trying to read the SMART data from some harddisks attached to a perc H710p but neither ESXI nor the idrac7 will give me specifics. The idrac will display a status for the individual drives but not the actual smart values.
Does anyone know how I can get this data?

The graduation had an official photographer who took extremely lame pictures. He didn't even make it to the hooding ceremony, so none of the pictures have that
beautiful impressive hood in them! Good thing my family was there taking lots of pictures, all of which were much better anyway. Here I am chatting with a friend.

April is a returning Accion Texas client who has steadily grown a successful small business built around her passion: sewing and fabrics.
Before launching an entrepreneurial career, she was employed by a major fabric store in her hometown of Austin, Texas. A sewing enthusiast, the 33-year-old said she couldn't sew with the kind of high-end, designer fabrics she desired because they weren't locally available. She could only find the fabrics she wanted when she traveled around the country and abroad. So she took matters into her own hands and started a business that filled a void in the Austin market: offering high-end, quality fabrics from around the world at affordable prices.
"I never really wanted to be an entrepreneur," April said. "I just wanted a store like this to open in town and I knew no one else would do it." She then opened The Fabricker, where she offers inventory from a variety of vendors who purchase their fabric from both famous and lesser-known local designers.
This is not how she originally envisioned her new entrepreneurial career, however.
With the encouragement of a friend who had launched a successful business with an Accion Texas Inc. loan, she applied and was approved for her own Accion loan to create an at-home business where she would sell fabric – while still working full time. Then she got laid off. Combining the Accion loan with her severance package allowed her to follow her dream and open the store.
April was always entrepreneurial, however. Before losing her job, she sold fabric at craft shows and out of her home, gaining a loyal clientele. She always managed to find excellent fabric from around the world because when her husband's job sends him out of the U.S., she sends him with a fabric budget.
She chooses fabric first by its look, then feel. "If it's nice to the touch, if it's something I can see myself wearing, I'll buy it. But if I look at it and the print is nice, but cheaply made, I don't get it," she said.
April recently took out a second Accion loan. It is being used to purchase new inventory and market her business with a new outdoor sign above the entrance to the store and ads in neighborhood newsletters.
Though she currently works alone, April plans to eventually hire employees. "Being my own boss is probably the hardest job ever, and I have kids," April said." There's no one to give you answers. You need a mentor. It can be very lonely and scary, but luckily, many people have reached out to help me," she said.
Find out more about her store and view her fabrics on her Tumbler and Facebook pages at: www.fabricker.com and

Ahoy! With it now being May, we've officially finished up with the first third of the year. As such, I wanted to highlight the best of the year so far, consisting of my top ten and various awards for 2015 to date. Much like last time, when I did the first quarter of the year, I'm mostly limiting it to things that have already hit theaters. My only exception is that I'm including titles from the recently concluded Tribeca Film Festival. There are some others from last year that I'm fond of and might have otherwise included, but I didn't want to cheat too badly, so they're on hold. Anyway, let's get to the fun stuff…
Below you'll find my top ten of the year so far, along with my awards for the first quarter of 2015. Here you go, and enjoy:
10. Amira & Sam – Much like I said last time out, this is one of the bigger surprises this year for me so far. I really did fall hard for this romantic dramedy. Not only does it give Martin Starr his best and most dramatic role to date, it also crafts one of the better movies about New York that I've seen in the past few years. It was cruelly under-seen earlier this year, but I hope this recommendation does its part to fix that when it hits home video next week.
9. Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief – Without question, this documentary is taking aim at a slightly easy target in the Church of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard, but tons of incredible claims come out of it all the same, as I said the last time I spoke about it. Director Alex Gibney isn't doing his best work ever, but it's still an angry and passionate bit of work. The ratings when it played on HBO were through the roof, so it definitely caught on.
8. '71 – To reiterate, this was a title that I first saw at NYFF 2014 but had it stick with me well into 2015. This war drama is the best tale of survival starring Jack O'Connell yet, and yes, I know that Unbroken exists too (that only furthers my argument). This is a small scale and gritty flick that manages to really captivate you. Another barely seen title that I want to shine a light on. Go seek it out […]

"5 to 7": The Best of the First Third of 2015
Ahoy! With it now being May, we've officially finished up with the first third of the year.

My only exception is that I'm including titles from the recently concluded Tribeca Film Festival.

Michael Fassbender and "Slow West": Films to look forward to at the Tribeca Film Festival
As you read this, the Tribeca Film Festival will be getting fully underway with Press and Industry Screenings of all their titles. Each year, they offer up something very unique in the world of independent cinema. I'll be taking in some films at the fest and have seen a handful already, so the choices below are sometimes more than just educated guesses. Tribeca is a unique environment, offering up smaller flicks of all ilk, so there's the possibility of discovering something new and exciting at all times. Still, what you'll see below are some of the most interesting higher profile titles that are screening.
Here are ten films playing at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival to keep an eye on…
10. Good Kill – A new Ethan Hawke collaboration with filmmaker Andrew Niccol, this is a look at the toll that working a drone can take on a man. It played at the Sundance Film Festival a few months ago to a muted response, but I'm always down for Hawke working with Niccol. I'll definitely have more to say about this one once I see it.
9. Anesthesia – An ensemble piece from actor/filmmaker Tim Blake Nelson, there's a great cast for this tale of the effect a crime has on all those who were around for it. The premise doesn't instill a ton of enthusiasm, I know, but Nelson is an interesting triple threat and this could overcome the "indie ensemble drama about crime" trappings.
8. Misery Loves Comedy – I've seen this comedic documentary by Kevin Pollak about if stand ups need to be downers in order to be funny, and it's very solid. To be fair, it's not going to cure cancer or really make a difference in the world, but it's an amusing doc that goes down easy. Especially if you're a fan of stand up comedy, this is a look inside their world and 100% worth seeing.
7. Dirty Weekend – By and large, Neil LaBute is a filmmaker whose work always demands your attention. His latest dark comedy stars Matthew Broderick and seems like a slighter than usual plot, but that might be deceiving. LaBute is enough to hook me, and if you're into his particular cinematic voice, this will be one to really look forward to.
6. Mojave – Anything with Oscar Isaac is worth seeing, but this one seems to really give him a strong showcase. Oscar winning […]
"Paranorman" Winner of 15 Best Animated Feature Film awards
Winner of 15 Best Animated Feature Film awards, winner of two Annie Awards in the category of Character Animation & Design and now also nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and a GLAAD Media Award, ParaNorman was made at the LAIKA Studios located in Oregon.
Over the two years of making the movie, a dedicated crew of over 320 talented animators, designers, artists, and technicians came together to hand-craft the year's most original animated feature.

Available to Own on Blu-Ray, DVD, Digital Download & On Demand
Story: The new 3D stop-motion comedy thriller from animation company LAIKA, reteaming the company with Focus Features after the groundbreaking Academy Award-nominated "Coraline." "ParaNorman" is, following "Coraline," the company's second stop-motion animated feature to be made in 3D. In "ParaNorman," a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he'll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.

Paranorman: A Solid Movie with Impressive Visuals
by Michael Ward
HollywoodNews.com: After dazzling us with Coraline, it should come as a surprise to no one that Laika Stuidos newest film, ParaNorman would be at least a solid movie with impressive visuals. But man did they take it to the next level with this film. With ParaNorman, directors Sam Fell and Chris Butler manage to not only deliver beautiful visuals, but 90 minutes of an incredibly rich story filled with solid themes and great characterizations.
An uproariously funny homage to zombie films and 80s films like The Goonies, ParaNorman tells the story a boy named Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who has the ability to talk to ghosts. He's picked on by a bully named Alvin and misunderstood by everyone, especially his parents. Already ostracized, he manages to make a friend named Neil, but at the same time come visions and a warning from his crazy uncle about a witch's curse that will be enacted if he doesn't read a story on the witch's grave. Unfortunately for him hijinks ensue and the dead rise, leading Norman to team up with some unlikely people including his sister, his tormentor, his friend Neil and Neil's brother Mitch to save the town from the zombies and the witch's curse.

This Week In Movies – 'Social Network,' 'Case 39,' 'Let Me In'
By Pete Hammond
HollywoodNews.com: For the third weekend in a row, a major studio adult-oriented, dialogue-driven film with more on its mind that non-stop mayhem or mindless sight gags topped the boxoffice thus keeping the resurgence of thinking-person's cinema on a thrilling roll. Surprise, surprise! The fact that The Town, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and now this week's The Social Network are drawing crowds Hollywood had seemed to give up on (55% of Social Network's audience was over the age of 25) with movies that can be described as that five letter word: "Drama" is heartening to this observer even if most of the business for 'Social' had to be drummed up from big cities and not the heartland. The Social Network directed by David Fincher and brilliantly written to an inch of its life by Aaron Sorkin harkens back to the kind of piercing dramas like "Network", "All The President's Men" and even the hallowed "Citizen Kane" (although let's not get carried away) so the fact that it could more than DOUBLE the gross of two competing horror genre films, Let Me In and Case 39, opening against it is quite astonishing since we were led to believe studios were in the tentpole big event business these days and not interested in grown up ideas anymore. How wrong. Of course it really helped that Sony brilliantly marketed the movie, invited bloggers in early and got lots of laudatory ink from critics, another group whose influence was said to be going the way of the dinosaurs. If that New York Times two page ad opening day chock full of quotes is any indication then that may be another modern myth exploded. Of course this is the Fall, a time for studios to trot out the one or two more adult projects they may have in their hopper and its doubtful we would ever see any of the recent box office leaders dare to open in the more lucrative summer months for sure. At any rate with a B+ Cinemascore and an even better 97% fresh rating at the Rotten Tomatoes movie review site, Social Network should be able to make a good run of it and further depress its key subject, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg who has disowned it as a piece of "fiction". Of course when you're only 26 years […]
TIFF '10: Five unforgettable moments from this year's fest
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: This year's Toronto International Film Festival surprised me on so many levels: quality of film; accessibility to events; friendliness of the TIFF volunteers and staff; even the weather, which gave attendees a taste of fall … even if we only experienced fresh air for a few minutes in between movie screenings.
I'm going to skip a traditional festival recap. Hopefully you enjoyed what you read over the last six days, and if you want to go back over my coverage of this year's festival, just put TIFF in our search engine.
Also, I feel that no matter how much I managed to see and do at TIFF, I missed out on just as much. Toronto lives up to its nickname of "The People's Festival" by offering such a full plate so as to satisfy all tastes. It's overloaded with opportunities, which couldn't be better for film junkies like myself.
There was a Cadillac commercial running before every TIFF screening that flashed images such as The Terminator robot, Sharon Stone in the interrogation chair for "Basic Instinct," or Janet Leigh in the shower in "Psycho." The message was that some things you see only once, but remember forever.
With that in mind, I wanted to list the five most memorable moments from my Toronto this year, both on screen and off. This isn't my last TIFF piece. I still have a few unfinished articles and reviews to post, which I will later this week. But these five events are burned in my memory. They are spoiler-ish, to a certain extent. I'll keep them vague, so as not to ruin any of the film's mentioned. But when I look back on TIFF 2010, I'm always going to remember:
1. James Franco taking out his digital camera and snapping a photo after the fact in Danny Boyle's empowering "127 Hours."
2. Andrew Garfield of "Never Let Me Go" and "The Social Network" extending his arm and pointing his fingers to show me how he's going to fire his webbing when he plays Spider-Man in Marc Webb's sure-to-be blockbuster.
3. Natalie Portman spreading her wings, literally and metaphorically, in Darren Aronofsky's harrowing "Black Swan."
4. Kodi Smit-McPhee's eyes welling with tears as the young boy asks his oblivious father if evil really exists in Matt Reeves' "Let Me In."
5. A defiant Rosamund Pike telling Paul Giamatti they "had" a life in Richard J. Lewis' […]
Exclusive "Let Me In" clip sinks its teeth into Internet
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: We're keeping a close eye on Matt Reeves' "Let Me In," a remake of Tomas Alfredson's killer vampire flick that stars Kodi Smit-McPhee of "The Road" as a lonely young boy who befriends a young girl in his apartment complex (Chloe Moretz) and eventually learns her deadly secret.
The film will play Toronto next week before heading to Austin to hold court at Fantastic Fest. This morning, though, we have an exclusive clip from the film courtesy of the cleverly titled Web site Enter Under Penalty of Death.
Click here to view it.
Reeves certainly has his work cut out for him. The tremendous original, titled "Let the Right One In," has a relatively strong cult audience. And it only came out in 2008, meaning it's still very fresh in people's mind, so comparisons – positive and negative – will be easy to make.
That being said, if Reeves can duplicate the mood of the first film, he has a chance to introduce a tender and terrifying story to a larger, American audience who don't like reading subtitles.
"Let Me In" opens everywhere on Oct. 1.

TIFF '10: Matt Reeves' bloodsucking "Let Me In"
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: We continue to preview anticipated titles screening at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival in our "Road to Toronto" feature.
The fest kicks off on Sept. 9, and HollywoodNews.com will be on the ground bringing you reviews, interviews, and a clearer glimpse at the ever-shifting Oscar race.
So far, we've discussed "I'm Still Here" and "Black Swan." Today, it's a remake of Tomas Alfredson's killer vampire flick from the director of "Cloverfield" and the star of "Kick-Ass."
Let Me In
The Plot: A shy boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) befriends a young girl in his apartment complex (Chloe Moretz) and eventually learns her deadly secret.
The Director: Matt Reeves ("Cloverfield")
The Cast: Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Grace Moretz, Richard Jenkins, Elias Koteas, Cara Buono
The Scoop: Reeves has his work cut out for him. The tremendous original, titled "Let the Right One In," has a relatively strong cult audience. And it only came out in 2008, meaning it's still very fresh in people's mind, so comparisons – both positive and negative – will be easy to make.
That being said, if Reeves can duplicate the mood of the first film, he has a chance to introduce a tender and terrifying story to a larger, American audience who don't like reading subtitles.
Awards Potential: Right now, it seems the two young stars have the best chance to win Oscar's favor. Both have been good in previous films ("The Road" for Smit-McPhee and "Kick-Ass" for Moretz), and their "Let Me In" parts require serious emotional depth if the film's going to work. Don't discount Jenkins, who is terrific in just about everything, though he may want to throw his weight behind his "Eat, Pray, Love" role once the Oscar race starts heating up.

"Let Me In" to open Fantastic Fest 2010
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Fantastic Fest scored a solid opener for its September event, announcing this afternoon that Matt Reeves' remake, "Let Me In," will launch the multi-day celebration on Thursday, Sept. 23. It will be the film's U.S. premiere.
Chloe Moretz ("Kick Ass") and Kodi Smit-McPhee ("The Road") star in the modern-day vampire film about a young boy who befriends a special girl.
"We are truly honored that Fantastic Fest has chosen to open their festival with the U.S. premiere of 'Let Me In.' It is incredibly exciting to be able to present the film to an audience who I know are just as passionate about John Ajvide Linqvist's story as I am," said Reeves.
"Fantastic Fest has been following the development of this movie with rabid interest and we couldn't be more excited to share what Matt Reeves has up his sleeve in adapting this incredible story. We anticipate that this will solidify his place as a visionary genre artist," said Fantastic Fest co-founder Tim League.

By Hanako M. Ricks
HollywoodNews.com: Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter films, has confirmed in a press release that he will indeed star in the latest adaptation of Susan Hill's novel "The Woman In Black".

The full press release is below:
London, England (19.07.10) – Daniel Radcliffe will take the lead in The Woman in Black, Hammer Films and Alliance Films hotly anticipated adaptation of Susan Hill's best-selling novel, it was announced today by Simon Oakes, and Nigel Sinclair of Exclusive and Hammer.
To be directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) and written by Jane Goldman (Kick Ass, The Debt) The Woman in Black follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK and sort out a recently deceased client's papers. As he works alone in an old and isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover its tragic secrets, and his unease grows when he discovers that the local village is held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance. Production is expected to begin in the Fall of 2010.

He also starred in Brian Kirk's My Boy Jack (written by and also co-starring David Haig), playing the role of Rudyard Kipling's tragic 17 year old son who went off to fight in the First World War. Most recently Radcliffe has proved him self an accomplished stage actor, receiving tremendous reviews and acclaim for his portrayal of Alan Strang in Peter Shaffer's Equus in the West End and on Broadway. Radcliffe will return to Broadway next Spring to star in the musical […]

Hello all,
I am new to the group and 24 weeks pregnant, and I would love to share my story about prenatal testing in case it helps somebody in the same situation.
My first prenatal screening results were fantastic, then the triple screening showed risk for DS: 1/100. I had a previous miscarriage and did not want to go through the Amniocentesis because the risk...
After exploring my options, researching A LOT and stressing out for two weeks, I decided to have the new ADN test done in Spain. I just received the resuls last week and my baby does not have any trisomy.
I fully recommend the ADN option if you can, I could not have gone through the Amnio after reading so many stories...and, on the other hand, I needed to know...The only issue is the money, it is expensive, and that's unfair, but if you can afford it, do it, hopefully this will be a regular procedure in the future...
I wish you all the best in your pregnancies!

Prospect Bridge plan raises more questions
Published: Tuesday, October 3, 2006 at 8:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 3, 2006 at 9:31 a.m.
Prospect: "that which is looked forward to with anticipation; an expectation," according to Webster.
Why, then, does the mere mention of Prospect Street give people on the east side of Houma a sense of dread and hopelessness?
Having lived in east Houma through the construction of the twin spans, the Howard Avenue and Daigleville bridges, the answer is clear.
Lack of planning, engineering problems, over-extended contractors and a large part of Terrebonne Parish without political clout resulted in headaches for residents and businesses.
Plans are being formalized to replace the two-lane Prospect Street Bridge with a much-needed six-lane bridge.
Officials know there will be gridlock and hope that better traffic devices and turning lanes will alleviate congestion.
Who is going to see that this happens?
When construction of the bridge at La. 311 and Hollywood Road hit a snag, parish leadership pushed to hire another contractor to complete the project.
While the St. Louis Canal Bridge on U.S. 90 was being replaced, policemen moved traffic at peak, rush-hour traffic.
At times, traffic currently backs up on Park Avenue from Prospect Street to Howard Avenue to the west and from Prospect to Lafayette Woods Subdivision to the east.
I have yet to see anyone directing traffic, ticketing a driver for blocking the Prospect/Park intersection, adjusting traffic lights.
Officials must stay abreast of the needs of their areas, but would be wise to consider how a traffic situation such as the closure of Prospect Bridge will affect businesses and people all over the parish.
If we need turning lanes, where are those plans?
If we need a traffic study, when will that be done?
If we need a temporary bridge crossing, who is developing that?
If we need to extend the one-way couplet on Main and Park from Grand Caillou Road to Presque Isle what has to be done?
If incentives can be written into the contract to reward the company for early completion, how is that accomplished?
I ask that those employed in the Government Tower and Baton Rouge seriously consider the ramifications of closing the Prospect Bridge for four years without a traffic plan to alleviate congestion.
Perhaps when you are late for a fishing trip down one of the bayous or a loved one needs to get to either hospital or you miss a public-relations event because of the traffic, you will realize how important every part of Terrebonne Parish is to everyone who lives here.

'It is impossible to imagine a politer little woman.'
HAVING READ AND GREATLY ADMIRED Lord Tennyson In Memoriam -- although his Holy Grail had left her 'quite bewildered' 1 -- the Queen asked to meet the poet who lived some fifteen miles from Osborne. Tennyson was reluctant to go, he was shy, he said, and would not know how to conduct himself. But on 14 April 1862, four months after the Prince Consort's death, he did go, taking his two sons and Benjamin Jowett, Fellow of Balliol, with him; and the visit was a success. The Queen described Tennyson as being 'very peculiar looking, tall, dark, with a fine head, long black flowing hair and a beard -- oddly dressed but there is no affectation about him.' They talked about Prince Albert, of course; and Tennyson said he would have made a great king. Tears, gratifyingly, came into his eyes. The Queen asked him if there was anything she could do for him. He said there was nothing; but he would be grateful if she would shake his sons by the hand: the gesture might 'keep them loyal in the troublous times to come'. 2
A meeting with the American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, was not so successful. The Queen made a few complimentary remarks to which Longfellow replied that he was surprised to find himself so well known in England. 'Oh, I assure you, Mr Longfellow,'the Queen said, according to the poet's own account,'you are very well known. All my servants read you. "Sometimes,' said Longfellow, 'I will wake up in the night and wonder if it was a deliberate slight.' Oscar Wilde, to whom Longfellow related this story, observed afterwards that it was 'the rebuke of Majesty to the vanity of the poet'. 3

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has laughed off suggestions he could take over at Manchester United. The Italian has been placed among the favourites to replace David Moyes, who was sacked on Tuesday.
"I'm really happy here," said the ex-Chelsea boss, who joined Real last summer. "I'm lucky to work at the best team in the world.
"I respect Man Utd a lot. I was disappointed for David Moyes, but my place at the moment is here."

A Vancouver couple has been accused of a series of smash-and-grab thefts from vehicles parked at Beaverton, Ore.-area hotels and motels.
Beaverton police announced Monday they have arrested Sergiy V. Selivanov, 22, and his wife, Marina Chertovskaya, in connection with 17 cases that occurred from July to September. Most thefts involved GPS units but included other valuables left in vehicles parked in local hotel or motel parking lots.
The suspects were arrested early Saturday after a hotel employee reported a theft in progress at the Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel at 15525 N.W. Gateway Court in Beaverton. Police stopped the suspects' vehicle, and said they found numerous GPS units, along with other items believed to have been stolen.
The arrest of these two suspects closed 17 cases: 14 in Beaverton, 2 in Tigard, Ore., and one in Washington County, Ore. Investigators said they are still working closely with the Washington County District Attorney's Office to bring all outstanding cases forward for prosecution.
Since the majority of the theft victims are from out of town, detectives worked on returning the stolen items as quickly as possible. They even went as far as to meet one victim at the Portland airport as he was getting ready to board a flight to Arizona. Most items have been returned.
Selivanov was arrested on suspicion of seven counts each of second-degree theft, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and third-degree criminal mischief, according to a police news release. He was also charged with 10 counts each of conspiracy to commit second-degree theft, conspiracy to commit unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and conspiracy to commit third-degree criminal mischief. He was also booked on an outstanding felony warrant out of Multnomah County,ore., for absconding from justice. He was lodged at the Washington County Jail.
Chertovskaya was arrested for conspiracy to commit second-degree theft, conspiracy to commit unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, and conspiracy to commit third-degree criminal mischief. She was cited and released.

Years later, no payment after Elks sex suit lossOctober 17,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER - Lawyer for four women who won a sex discrimination suit against the Hartford Elks lodge are back in court to try to collect damages awarded by a court.
The women and the Human Rights Commission sued the Elks after seven women were denied membership to the then-all-male lodge in 1996. The Elks were ordered to pay an estimated $709,000 to victims and lawyers.
A year earlier, the national Elks organization had abolished its requirement that restricted membership to men.
But the Hartford Lodge said the women were denied for reasons other than gender. A jury found the lodge had violated state law by discriminating against the women because of their gender.
The Elks have refused to pay the damage award.

Nice bedroom system
This review is from: Bose® CineMate® Series II digital home theater speaker system
Pros: Audio Quality with a surprising effective spatial effect
Cons: I took one egg off for the overall value. Despite the great sound quality the head unit and remote are very spartan / simple. I felt for the price Bose could have offered a better value with a few volume controls on the head unit along with a volume level indicator. It would perhaps be too much to ask for a built in Bluetooth stereo receiver as an alternate input. The remote is functional but seems cheap, I'm sure the paint on the buttons will rub off with use.
Other Thoughts: I'm using this in my bedroom as a replacement for a full Samsung 5.1 system. I've coupled it with a Apple TV and it is simply wonderful, fills my room with sound and with HD content streamed through Itunes the spatial effect works surprisingly well - even had me turning my head looking for the source of a noise I then realized to be part of the sound track to a show....

Well it's a Bose
This review is from: Bose® CineMate® Series II digital home theater speaker system
Pros: Excellent system for 2.1. Was very easy to put together just plug in and play. Comes with both RCA cables and optical cable. Remote is nice and simple just power, mute, and volume thats it.
Cons: If your looking for 5.1 sound then this isn't the system for you and the price but it's Bose.
Other Thoughts: I have a small house so it's size is perfect.

Its a Bose
This review is from: Bose® CineMate® Series II digital home theater speaker system
Pros: Excellent sound system. Its not a 5.1 setup, but if you are buying this, you are probably not looking for one. If you are looking for front facing sound setup, this simply cannot be beat. The woofer sounds great, and is not boomy, and the speakers deliver crystal clear sound. Was very easy to set up, and included all the needed cables, even the optical cable. The system as 1 optical input, and 1 RCA input, so it can connect to most devices. The woofer is easy to adjust, with the optimal setting seeming to be at around the 1:00 position on the dial.
Cons: The price, but, after all, its a bose. An HDMI pass though that strips off the audio and plays it over the system would be nice, but it is not a necessity.
Other Thoughts: If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, this might not be the best choice, but if you are looking for incredible performance from a 2.1 system, this is one of the best choices on the market.

To all members of the BC Chamber of Commerce,
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your board chair, I am looking forward to a very impactful and vibrant year.
This promises to be an exciting year for the chamber movement. At the BC Chamber we are going through a seminal change with the selection of a new President and CEO. With change comes opportunity and we will ensure that the organization will not only continue to meet the needs of our members going forward but will exceed them.
As a Board we are fully charged with the need to build on the strength of the network to take the chambers movement to the next level. Members have told us loud and clear, while the BC Chamber is without equal at advocacy and policy there is a need to build a broader value proposition to help them attract and retain members. This is no small task, it will require a frank conversation about what we do and how we do it. Most importantly it will take all of us working together to ensure the chamber movement is ready to meet the needs of the new economy.
As we look to these opportunities we should always recognise that we have a strong foundation. There are so many things local Chambers of Commerce can do, and does, to provide their communities with value and services not available elsewhere. We need to enhance this in an increasingly competitive marketplace if we are to remain competitive and relevant.
Whether it is branding, professional or Board training, or just sharing good ideas the BC Chamber will be aggressive in identifying opportunities to enhance the strength of our members. It is only through ensuring the strength of the local chamber will we as a network flourish and grow.
We are likely in the best possible position we have ever been as a Chamber of Commerce. This comes from my experience as a local and provincial director for the last 16 years. The opportunities before us on a local, provincial, national and international basis have never looked so good. The question is, are we capable of taking full advantage of these opportunities?
We are a movement comprised of dedicated and committed individuals at both the staff and volunteer level. I would also like to thank every board member in the province for taking time from your business' to volunteer your time to make this a better province, and appreciate all the great work being done by the chamber managers and their staff.
We are a unique, member driven organization that cannot be duplicated. Through hard work and partnership we will create a stronger network that will serve BC businesses for decades to come.

Chair, BC Chamber of Commerce
Financial Advisor, Edward Jones Investments

On 2 of the coldest mornings this year (~20F), I've started the car to warm it up. After the car started normally, I noticed that nothing electrical either on the dash or head lights would come for the first ~5 minutes. Eventually, power would start flickering in such short durations that it was almost un-noticeable, and then in longer and longer intervals until continual power. Any ideas?

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach chooses not to go quietly
Mike Leach is fighting to clear his name and working to rebuild his reputation.
In the process, he's hurting his chances of coaching football again.
There's no way around that fact. None. He is suing his former employer, Texas Tech. He is suing sports' biggest media conglomerate, ESPN. And now, he is telling his no-punches-pulled, no-holds-barred story in a new book, "Swing Your Sword."
Stuff like that doesn't endear potential employers. Leach knows it, too.
"It's had a chilling effect," he admitted.
But …
"I don't know what my alternatives are really."
Some coaches might've gone quietly about their business after being fired amid scuttlebutt and scandal. They might've shrugged off the suspicion they were targeted by a jealous chancellor. They might've turned a blind eye toward the evidence they were smeared by a resentful parent.
Leach couldn't do that.
"When you consider that I've been the victim of being smeared nationally, if I leave it out there, there's a presumption that it's true," said the candid coach, who will sign copies of his book Saturday in Oklahoma City. "If I clear my name, then it's like, 'Oh, you made ESPN mad,' which I'm not sure that's a world any of us really want to live in.
"So, when you're at that fork in the road, what's the right thing, what's not the right thing?"
He sighed.
"The right thing, obviously, is to tell the truth."
That's what Leach hoped to do with his book. He started thinking about writing a memoir after the 2008 season. It was going to be about his background, his influences and his path into coaching.
Then, the path went off a cliff. In Dec. 2009, Leach was suspended amid allegations of player mistreatment and rumors of infighting between the coach and some university officials. When Leach fought back and hired an attorney to challenge the suspension, Texas Tech fired him.
He suddenly had a new chapter or six to add to his book.
"The aftermath at Tech, I didn't want to leave that hanging out there," Leach said. "It would be conspicuous if it wasn't there.
"I'm not a guy that really hides stuff."
Obviously not.
In the book, Leach describes Texas Tech chancellor Kent Hance, for example, as a guy who "loved the microphone" and who "could get jealous of others getting the spotlight."
"As a coach, you understand that politics are a part of the job," he writes, "but I was surprised at the level of ruthlessness, and at the lying, just for the sake of obtaining power at Texas Tech. The pettiness and the pointlessness of it was shocking."
That sort of openness makes for a great book but makes for trouble when you're an unemployed college football coach.
What university leader wants to hire a guy who's so open in his criticism?
Leach is also fighting the perception that he mistreated players, most notably Adam James, son of ESPN analyst and former NFL running back Craig James. He writes at length in the book about that, but as a man with a law degree, Leach takes an evidence-based approach. He uses subpoenaed email exchanges and sworn court depositions.
"I think what makes that section really powerful is, it's not my words," Leach said. "It's all in their words. There's an appendix there that includes the actual documents."
Clearly, the way that his time at Texas Tech ended hasn't turned Red Raider fans against him. His book signing in Lubbock sold out the day before. He signed 1,200 pre-sold books and would've signed more if there had been any more in town.
In Dallas a week later, he signed 2,000 books.
"Sold more books than Sarah Palin and just a few less than Ozzy Osbourne," Leach said.
The Pirate always keeps interesting company, doesn't he?
But when will he be hanging with a football team again? When will he be sending out six wide receivers and spreading the offensive line from hash to hash and causing ulcers for defensive coordinators? When will he be back invigorating college football?
Leach is ready to start anytime, but college football has been through two major hiring phases since he was fired.
Still, Leach is unemployed, cooling his heels in Key West.
"You look at the coaches who've been hired, and they're good coaches and fine people," he said, "but they don't bring as much to the table as I do."
He rattled off a laundry list of talking points, everything from winning percentages and bowl appearances to graduation rates and increased revenue.
But from the look of things, these court cases will have to be settled before anyone even takes a serious look at Leach, much less offers him a job. Will that be next year? Will that be longer? It's impossible to know.
Leach knows he could speed his return to the sidelines. Drop the lawsuits. Calm the waters. Put the focus on his future instead of his past.
"I can't pretend it didn't happen," he said. "I'm not going to validate a lie and pretend that.
"But when it comes to coaching, my body of work speaks for itself."
Right now, whatever it's saying is unfortunately being drowned out.
