All of the unbeaten teams stayed unbeaten this past Saturday. Alabama and Notre Dame were taken to the absolute limit by LSU and Pitt, but used skill and in the Fighting Irish case a little luck to keep their perfection intact. LSU seemed to have Alabama's offense on the ropes in the 2nd half, but AJ McCarron and the Tide Offense drove almost the length of the field in 90 seconds to keep their record unblemished. Notre Dame was taken to the brink by a scrappy Pittsburgh team, but a missed field goal in OT kept the Fighting Irish in the national title hunt.
Kansas State can no longer be overlooked as a national title contender. What was impressive about their win against Oklahoma St. was they didn't have their Heisman contender, QB Collin Klein for the bulk of the 4th quarter as he suffered a wrist injury. Oregon used its high flying offense to knock off Pac-12 rival USC in Los Angeles. The Ducks offense was so potent against the Trojans, that they didn't have to punt until the fourth quarter. It's also time to take notice to the Louisville Cardinals football team, who are 9-0 after dominating Temple 45-17 last Saturday.
Let's do a hypothetical final four of football teams using the BCS standings. Alabama would face off against Notre Dame and Oregon and Kansas State would play each other. I could see Notre Dame's defense giving the Bama offense a real tough time but with Alabama winning on shear talent at the end. Kansas State and Oregon would be an epic shootout, but I'd give the nudge to K-State and their better defense.
How much fun would that be to watch? It could very well end up K-State and Alabama in the national title game but with four really great teams this year it's a shame the playoff system isn't in place yet.
BMOC: Kenjon Barner (RB, Oregon)
Who says you can't go home? Barner hails from Riverside, CA and had dozens of friends and family in the stands at the LA Coliseum Saturday night to watch the Ducks play the Trojans. He put on a show, rushing for a school record 321 yards and five touchdowns as he put the Ducks on his back in defeating USC 62-51. Oregon's 730 yards and 62 points they put up on Saturday were the most ever given up by the Trojans football team in their long history. Oregon looks to continue it's golden state domination when it travels to Berkeley to face off against the Cal Golden Bears Saturday.
They gave HIM a schloarship?: Kevin Harper (K, Pittsburgh)
Pitt put up a great fight against Notre Dame, and should treat the game as a moral victory that will do nothing but help the program in the near future. However, the opportunity was there for the major upset, and Pitt had Notre Dame dead to rights when it lined up for a 33-yard chip shot to win the game. Somehow Pitt's kicker, Kevin Harper, kicked the ball wide right and gave the Golden Domers the opportunity to win. Perhaps it was fate, but the kicker has one job to do and when there is a program defining win at stake, he has to make that kick. Pitt travels to Big East rival UConn for a Friday Night showdown. I hope Harper has a chance to redeem himself.
Project Runway NCAA: Houston Cougars
The Houston Cougars are known for quarterbacks that produce huge numbers in college (Case Keenum, Andre Ware, David Klingler…) but college success doesn't exactly transfer to the NFL. The Cougars will be wearing their throwback uniforms this weekend at home against Tulsa for homecoming. The game uniforms will then be auctioned off for the alumni fund. There's a whole lot of change going on for the UH program. The Cougars are joining the Big East next year and are moving to new digs in 2014, a 105-million dollar, on-campus stadium. The old stadium has been kind to the Cougars this year as they've won their last three home games in it.
Small School, Big Time Numbers: Gavin McCarney (QB, Colgate)
The Colgate Raiders had a Patriot League showdown this past Saturday with the Lafayette Leopards. Colgate QB Gavin McCarney was a beast, setting school records for total offensive yards in a game (512), rushing yards by a quarterback in a game (288) and a season (1,010), and consecutive games with a TD Pass (12) in Colgate's win over Lafayette 65-41. The Raiders had 12 offensive possessions in the game, and incredibly scored on 10 of them. The win sets up a winner take all matchup with Lehigh this Saturday, where the Patriot League Championship and the automatic playoff berth will go to the victorious team.
Thursday Night Social: Florida State at Virginia Tech, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Let's be honest, most Thursday night games aren't appointment television. This game just might be. The Seminoles haven't left the state of Florida since October 6th, which was a loss at NC State. Virginia Tech has been plagued by turnovers and are having a very uncharacteristically poor season. With the loss to Miami last week, the Hokies streak of 10 win seasons ended at 8. The Hokies will attempt to right the ship in Blacksburg and keep hope of a bowl bid alive against a tough Seminoles team who crushed Duke last week 48-7. Florida State controls its own destiny in the ACC, and will try to establish the run game against the Hokies. On paper, this looks like a blowout, but Coach Beamer will have Tech ready to play at home and will give Florida State all it can handle.

I think Oregon would kill Kansas State!
Oregon has been the most fun football team to watch this season for me, pro or college. I think that Chip Kelly may get some serious looks this offseason from the NFL but I hope he stays out there in Eugene – he's built a true national power there.
I've noticed that many of their skill players over the years are from SoCal, I can't even imagine the recruiting battles that must take place down there annually, Ed Orgeron from SC is apparently one of the best recruiters around.
I'd like to see an Oregon-Bama championship game, but even then, I think that Bama would shut them down. McCarron gets no love from the draftniks but all he's ever done is win football games.
Good point about the skill players Snake. I think Oregon has enough Nike money to recruit the hell out of anywhere it chooses. Kelly is an innovative coach, and I can't see him going anywhere. Of course the Chargers job will be open after this year, so you never know.
I still contend that Bama-Notre Dame would be the best championship game, but I have a noted east coast bias. Thanks for the comment.

|The new CBS show "Undercover Boss" is a documentary/reality-style programme which follows a week in the life of a CEO who goes undercover as an entry-level employee in various divisions of the company. The aim is for the CEO to learn more about his employees, including what their job actually involves, what needs aren't being met and how to improve the company's efficiency and most importantly, employee satisfaction.
After watching it for the first time on Sunday night, it did get me wondering, could my boss do my job? Or any of the jobs in the company – then I was able to answer my own question – more than likely, Steve at one time was the only recruiter/administrator/marketer/accountant for CML! So I broadened my thoughts to Cayman generally and there are very few bosses here that could go undercover in an exercise like CBS's … he/she would be recognized too easily! But there are still ways to get some of the same information as the TV show…
The CISHRP Top Employer Award (of which CML was a recipient this year) gathers information via an impersonal electronic survey (no cameras following you around on your daily tasks!) and collates it with other employees' opinions to provide an overview of how the company is perceived by its staff.
From the CISHRP website:
"At the heart of our definition of a 'Top Employer' is a place where employees "trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with". The premise is that a great workplace is measured by the quality of the three relationships that exist:
• The relationship between employees and management
• The relationship between employees and their jobs
• The relationship between employee and other employees"
Acting as an "Undercover Boss" the CISHRP Award highlights the companies in Cayman with the happiest employees. CML Offshore Recruitment is proud to have been the first (and only) recipient of the Top Employer Award in Small to Medium-sized Business. The recent launch event at the Ritz hopefully will stir the business community into action for a fiercer competition this year. Details and application forms on the awards can be found on the CISHRP website www.cishrp.ky

Skip to comments.2010's Hot Boy Baby Name Trend
Posted on 11/10/2010 6:06:04 PM PST by ransomnote
click here to read article
I pity any baby boys born to sick scumbags like these parents.
I like Gunner myself.
I call my son "Da Vinci". Is that wrong? : )
Megan is a well used girls name. Reagan is not a male first name. It fits my daughter perfectly and now everytime she hears Ronald Reagan's name on the tube she gets excited. If I wanted to name my son after Reagan I would name him Ronald, but aside from Ron himself I dont particularly like that name.
Maxell... yeah, I've still got a carton of new unopened cassettes. Strange name for a boy! Then again, the current generation would probably never get the connection.
My eldest son is named Christian.
How 'bout I say "yes"—
—though as we approach a childless 50, my wife and I have basically given up.
The whole discussion sounds like the "boy named sue"...
well, it could be worse.
When I adopted my oldest boy, his "original" name was Ovideo (a common name in Colombia). But I didn't think he would survive seventh grade, so we changed his first name at adoption to my father's name, and kept it as his middle name.
And yes, his new name is a biblical name.
It's self-centered and lame.
Secondly, "Tug" was McGraw's nickname. His given name was "Frank".
Great minds ...
You mean like Taylor?
During my residency, on the ob rotation, there was a baby born on the night shift and promptly named Daquan-Demetrius (two-part first name). What prompts people to do this?
Well Psycho, I am glad you cleared that up for us. I'm sure we will all have a better day for it. I guess that child should be happy his mothers wasn't named Theresa. :)
But hey, at least that shows it IS a name!
George Carlin: "Soft names make soft people."
I'd say the parents of Brock Lesnar really took that advice to heart, and look at the result.
I feel sorry for any child born to parents who think the child is simply an extension of themselves. One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent is to take the responsibility and still realize that that little person is a complete and separate individual, not a pet, not a toy, and not something to be made into what you wished you had been, or into something to entertain or impress your friends. I wonder if someone has done some sort of psychological profile of parents based on how they name their children. Might be interesting (if it was more than just a quick and agenda driven thing).
No, don't!
I've taught two Hunters, both all boy.
My son's middle name is Hunter.
I never begrudged the boys that time with their dads. They are learning lessons that can not be taught in a classroom.
Hated him (9 years old) until he gave my brother and I pocket knives. Then he was the greatest ever and we were glad to see him around.
Still works the ranges down in Argentina last I heard.
Lance is about as manly as it gets, named for a long spear used from horseback.
I like Norman names.

I like Norman names.
Sometimes perfectly good names fall out of favor for one reason or another. At one time Agnes and Ethel were very popular and perfectly acceptable names. Nowadays? Not so much.
I didn't think anyone would get that one.
Travis was one of the heroes of the Alamo and Austin is a family name.
That is archaic these days.
I just talked to a Dallas K-9 cop. His service dog is named Kenny....I got a chuckle out of that one, but I liked the name....
It's funny how names can be so popular for awhile and fall out. My name was pretty popular for a time, but I don't think it cracks the top 100 anymore. One day it may come back as a *vintage* name. LOL
Southpark may have ruined that name. ;)
This is where that came from:
I remember my mother always getting annoyed when we would talk about her grandchildren in terms of, "Heh, doesn't ____ look just like his mother/father?" My mother would always reply, "He's his own person and he looks like himself."
Yes, I knew that it wasn't Tug's real name (didn't know his real name—thanks for the information).
Some folks may not know that Tug's son is Tim McGraw, the country-and-western singer.
And other names, such as Sarah and Elizabeth, never go out of style. If you heard of someone named "Ethel," you'd think, "old lady." If you heard of someone named "Britnee," you'd think, "young girl." But a Sarah or Elizabeth could be 12 years old...or 90.
Mine is one of those old standbys, but I have not heard it used in ages. However, I don't think anyone thinks OLD when they hear it. Yet. :)
That's why I hate to see people names "Jr." Didn't the parents want to give this boy his own, separate identity? I've never been a parent but I had, the last thought for a given name would be mine.
My 29 year old son named his first boy (and my first grandson) Jaylen. Broke my reality into a thousand pieces.
I've heard that one, and it turns me off.
In high school, I dated a girl named Ronette. No joke.
Thankfully, my mom vetoed any juniors when she first married my dad. His name is Crittenden.
I guess. Jr is pretty traditional. We didn't do it altho there are Jrs on both sides of our family. I think they are confusing sometimes, altho I know jrs who are quite proud to have their dad's name. It might depend entirely on the family dynamics. I think naming your child Apple or something made up or really trendy might be a worse thing. If you name them after a beloved family member it says they are part of something bigger than themselves instead of a possession like your dog.
All I can tell you is that we agonized over naming our sons. Didn't want names that lent themselves to stupid nicknames. Didn't want names that were cute for kids but awful for adults. Etc. And we did want to give them one name that had a family connection, but not a junior (because of the confusion and because we didn't want one child to be a junior and the subsequent children not to be able to have that).
None of them have complained about their names.
My dogs, I have fun naming. My kids I worked hard on. :)
You mentioned "confusing" in conjunction with the "Jr." issue. When I was a young man I had a part-time job with Sears in their collection department and many was the time that I thought that I was speaking to the customer and I was instead talking to his son or his father. Such are the delights in the stupid Jr. and Sr. bit.
And I was told by people who worked in the granting of credit that they encountered similar problems when trying to get a credit history from various organizations.
All because men who had such a lack of imagination in naming their sons, or, more likely, the heightened sense of their own star status that they conferred upon their son their own name, believing, I guess, that the glory would be reflected on their progeny.
Which reminds me. I once attended some single A baseball games (single A is a lowly form of professional baseball, men who want to be major league players start there) and on one team was Mickey Mantle, Jr. Well, of course, those genes come together very infrequently and Jr. was a big disappointment. He lacked the talent.
But he was Mickey Mantle Jr. and there were high expectations...not to be realized. He must have felt a failure.
Wow, you have a really strong opinion about this issue. All I can say is I don't agree with you across the board, but I'm sorry if this has caused some problems in your own life. Most of the Juniors I know don't seem to have any sort of issues with their fathers based on their having been given the family name. Perhaps you should talk it out with someone.
The same people who name their sons Precious and SirRoderick.
I'm in HR and both of these young men have applied for roles within our company.
And Precious? He's HUGE. 6'4"ish, 300 lbs, if he's an ounce.
Nice guy though.
In my extended family we have 4 Felix Fenton (last name redacted) and 4 Felix Fenton (other last name redacted)
Each of the IVs decided NOT to do a V.
One of my cousins (several times removed) was an astronaut. This was back in 1983, before he was going up on a mission, we had 7 of the 8 Felix Fenton's in one room, I called out to my 1st cousin Felix IV and I had all 7 turn to look at me. OY, it was funny! :-)
The Juniors I've known have all been fine with it. Im sure there are people who dislike their names no matter what they are, and if someone has a real issue, they can legally change it.
Well, indeed I do have a strong opinion on the issue. Naming someone after yourself strikes me as the action of someone quite "struck upon" himself and I've never been an admirer of those types of people. It is further evidence of men's being far more conceited than women. Have you ever heard of a woman naming one of her daughters the same name as herself? It may happen but I would bet that it is very, very rare.
And the matter has never been a problem for me (aside from those occasions when I had to explain that I wanted to speak to Joe Smith Jr., not Joe Smith Sr., about his delinquent bill). Thankfully, I was never a Jr. If I had been, at age 21, you would have found me in the courthouse petitioning the court to have my name changed to something, say, more "individualistic".
And no, ma'am, I feel no need to "talk it out with someone." It was never a "family issue" with me because I never had children. I never wanted children. Those are other people's problems.
I am 70 years of age, and my opinions are quite well-formed and I see no need to modify them at this point.
Doesn't seem like any point in taking this conversation any further.
No, there is no point in doing so. We just don't agree.

Hello guys! I wanted to bring this issue to you because the highly cool floating social icons are misbehaving when you make them float at right side of the screen in a Mac. It works like a charm on Windows, but with Mac it only looks good when floating at the left side.
Here you have a screen capture:
It happens with Safari and Google Chrome for Mac too. So, it is something weird happenning under Mac?
Can you fix this please?
Thank you!

$theTitle=wp_title(" - ", false); if($theTitle != "") { ?>
One Direction were definitely the big winners at this year's MTV VMAs with regards to snagging the most awards. The British boy band walked away with moon statues for best pop video, best new artist, and most-shareworthy video for "What Makes You Beautiful," beating out acts like The Wanted, Justin Bieber and Rihanna. The Bajan beauty shouldn't be too upset, she scored the big award of the night, Best Music Video of the Year.
As with most of these things, it's all about what people wore on the red carpet. Since it's a music-related affair, there tend to be more fashion risks than your typical awards show. I've gone through all the arrivals and picked my Top 5 picks for best and worst dressed at the 2012 MTV VMAs. But before we do, can we discuss P!nk's doppelganger?
Who knew the 32-year-old singer had a younger sister? With her new chopped blond hairdo, Miley Cyrus definitely exhibited some serious Single White Female behavior last night, channeling the "So What" singer. It's like they went to the same salon before the event. P!nk wore a full length Stella McCartney dress, while Miley chose an Emilio Pucci sheer cutout gown. Both ladies looked great, but who did P!nk better? Cast your vote below.
Just like her new single, Alicia Keys is a "Girl On Fire." She sizzles in this metallic one-shoulder Alexandre Vauthier gown. Her performance outfit was smoking hot as well. Welcome back Alicia.
Anytime she's not wearing the same bedazzled muted gown, I approve. While the white suit is smart, I preferred her J Crew'ish Hamptons-inspired striped ensemble during her performance better.
Given the "Tik Tok" singer's past epic fashion failures, this Zaldy nude mini-dress with black floral applique detail is a winner. Is trashy Ke$ha gone forever?
The 27-year-old singer decided to go glamorous with this Elie Saab black dress. I much prefer this look than those Candyland-inspired colorful trainwrecks she wears on tour.
Sporting relaxed ringlets and a Salvatore Ferragamo dress, the 34-year-old was pretty in pink on the red carpet. This woman can do no wrong in my books.
I may like how the Brit singer likes to party, but I'm not a fan of "How She Do" on the red carpet. She looks like Elvis Presley's illegitimate daughter in this Emilio Pucci jumpsuit. Her fringe outfit on stage when she presented an award was MUCH better.
Personally, that bow on the bustline is heinous. Nobody wants to unwrap this gift. I hope the gift receipt is attached.
Both Rihanna and Katy Perry have ditched their Kool-Aid inspired hair colors. Perhaps, it's time Minaj do the same. This Versace jumpsuit is a little too bordello for my taste. That said, she could replace Lil Kim in a 2012 update of "Lady Marmalade".
You get a twofer here. If this was in the closet when Ezra Miller came out, he should've stay in there. LOL, I kid. It's definitely NOT cowboy chic.
Looks like someone cast a fugly fashion spell at Hogwarts on our dear Emma Watson. This Peter Pilotto dress is no bueno.
No wonder she never fit in with the Upper East Siders. Just look at her fashion choices. Normally, I like Jessica's boho East Village style, but that animal print headband is horrible.
Congrats first on winning MTV's Video of the Year award. Nods also for the custom Adam Selman dress. With that said, I'm not sure I'm digging her pixie haircut. What do you think?

Saturday evening forecast
Bill Gile with the latest forecast
Stan: Hillary Clinton represents the very worst of the Washington Machine. The arrogance of power, corruption and cover-ups, conflicts of interest and failed leadership with tragic consequences and unnecessary loss of American lives... the Clinton Dream is destroying the American Dream. Hillary has taken money from countries where rape victims are publicly lashed. In Saudi Arabia, a woman was gang raped by seven men. She was publicly lashed 90 times. And then she was convicted of being in the car with an unmarried man. We should be boycotting, voluntarily boycotting a country, not buying stuff from a country that does that to women. If she believes in women's rights, she should be calling for a boycott of Saudi Arabia, instead, she's accepting tens of millions of dollars. All that Hillary Clinton is offering is a continuation of the same big government ideas that have grown Washington instead of the middle class. The money she has taken from overseas comes from countries who are enemies of the American people. Nothing is free in politics... what, exactly, is the cost of these "donations" to the people of America. Clinton's lack of understanding of national security and her convenient "loss" of official emails from her personal server, rather than the secure government server show not only that she is incapable of being President, but that she does not care for the security of this nation and that she will not be transparent with the American people. Another Clinton administration will be nothing but a continuation of the failed Obama administration. America cannot afford another 4 years of failure and debt increase so that "entitled" political families can continue to expand their personal wealth and live like royalty while the we, the people, continue to foot the bill. Thus far, the Obama Administration has added over $9 Trillion dollars to the National Debt with less than a year to go. At the rate he has been spending, the national Debt will be over $20 Trillion dollars. Add to that another $6+ Trillion if Clinton gets her four years. How much can we, the people, stand?

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
The comics internet in a nutshell. Gird your loins!
ITEM! Matt Seneca, quickly becoming my new new favorite non-Abhay comics critic, internet category, writes about his favorite Superman story:
If there was only one Superman comic, it would be this one, which takes up every aspect of the grand tapestry that is Superman, strips it down to the essentials, and feeds it through the hands of the best artist ever to draw the character. It's an entire universe in one go, an artifact that distills the power of all the thousand other Superman stories into a surging core.
He's not talking about All Star Superman! Ha! I totally got you.
ITEM! J. Caleb Mozzocco does my solicit statistic thing so that I don't have to! Twenty Batman or Batman-related titles in November. Eleven comics with the word "Avengers" in the title. Nine Thor books. (Not pictured: Forty-seven Green Hornet comics, one Atomic Robo issue.)
ITEM! Todd Alcott finishes off his analyses of Batman films with the best of them all, The Dark Knight. It's great reading:
When folks complain that Two-Face isn't in the movie enough, I think what they mean is that the cool special-effects makeup isn't in the movie enough, and that Two-Face doesn't have any kind of outlandish, colorful scheme to implement. Well, that's too bad, but the Joker doesn't have a scheme either. There isn't any "end" to this for the Joker, he wants to take the whole world and send it down the toilet — an endless project of disorder to match Bruce's endless project of order. Whereas Two-Face has the opposite of a grand scheme — he wants to kill the people who made him suffer, and then kill himself. The folks who pine for a "bigger" Two-Face story, one to match the one in, say, Batman Forever I guess, where he teams up with the Riddler to build a giant mind-control ray, miss the great tragedy at the heart of The Dark Knight — they want a supervillain, whereas the Nolans have imagined him as a human being.
OBLIGATORY SIMS THE RESTRAINING ORDER ARRIVED ON THURSDAY DEPT: Chris Sims reads Tarot so that the world doesn't have to. What a man:
For the record, Vera's breasts aren't merely convenient handles, they're actually a cunning trap: Her black vinyl bra and fishnet bodice are actually wired with enough electricity to kill the two werewolves, while leaving her more or less unharmed. Which… Okay, look, I know this is a book about witches and ghosts and werewolves and that's fine, but I'm pretty sure that an sending a hundred thousand volts through one's own electric bra would probably be a phenomenally bad idea. Just sayin'. But then, that's what they're there for.
And hey, that quote doesn't even mention the naked werewolf ladies.
ALSO AT COMICSALLIANCE, we've got the Lets Be Friends Again guys navigating the murky waters of Aquaman continuity, a labyrinth no man can survive:
ITEM! Webcomics wizard John Campbell done had an art show:
ITEM! Tim Hodler of Comics Comics returns to the idea of auteur theory and how it fits in the world world of comics comics:
In the conventional cinematic version of the argument, you'd have to say that the artist ("because the visual, the image, will always predominate") is the auteur, and in fact, in fannish opinion (if not more mainstream reporting), fairly or not, Kirby and Ditko tend to get the lions' share of credit for their collaborations with Stan Lee. (There is no room to get into the complicated arguments surrounding those books right now, but they have been well rehearsed by many other writers, online and off.) The decision gets much trickier when considering the Frank Miller and Alan Moore books, though in these particular cases, it somehow feels right to nominate the writers as the "auteurs".
ITEM! Brendan McCarthy has a new comic that needs a publisher. C'mon, publisher-guys. This is a no-brainer.
AXE COP MOMENT OF THE WEEK: I think this speaks for itself:
REMAKE/REMODEL redoes Wonder Woman, and without chokers and leather jackets, for the most part. My shout-outs this week go to Felipe Sobreiro and Andrew Nixon:
That's the week, full stop. Or maybe semi-colon; see anything cool this week?
• Why did they ever retcon Aquaman's original origin? "The son of Jacques Cousteau fights Nazis underwater" is a concept any reader could grasp and any writer could run with. Somebody should steal that.
• The Project: Rooftop Inventational has unveiled Black Canary and Green Lantern redesigns by Joe Quinones and Mike Maihack, respectively. Looks like Flash, Hawkwoman, Martian Manhunter, and a mystery woman are the only members left to be revealed.
• Harry Knowles talked to Bryan Singer about X-Men: First Class, and Singer confirmed that Kevin Bacon will be Sebastian Shaw. I'm putting money on the Hellfire Club summoning demons via mutant sacrifice. Enter: Jason Flemyng's Azazel and Oliver Platt's "Man in Black."
You know, I stopped reading as soon as I got to the first word of the post title. I know it's Sunday, I don't need some blogger telling me. And with your track record, that's probably the only correct thing on this post.
The analysis of Dark Knight by Todd Alcott is very good. It was very interesting. I also enjoyed the postcript he added in the comments:
"In August of '08, I had a meeting with a producer who has had some experience producing Batman movies. The Dark Knight was still the number one movie in theaters that day, and conversation naturally turned to it.
ME: So — The Dark Knight.
?PRODUCER: I know.?
ME: Right??
PRODUCER: I know. It's amazing. I know.?
ME: So. You tell me. You make this kind of movie. You tell me. How?
?PRODUCER: How what?
?ME: How does a movie like that get made? In this environment, where anything complicated or challenging or pessimistic or visionary get ironed out to appeal to the broadest possible market, how does a movie like that get made? That's an expensive movie with a lot of moving parts — the producers, the cast, the special effects, the location shooting — how does a picture like that get made, and end up that good?
?PRODUCER: Because Christopher Nolan gets no notes.
?ME: What do you mean?
?PRODUCER: I mean, the studio gives him no notes. None. Zero.
?ME: The director gets no notes?
?PRODUCER: None.
?ME: So, you're telling me, Christopher Nolan and his brother write the script –
?PRODUCER: And then they shoot it. And the studio gives them no notes. They've given them the project, they trust their vision, and they let them shoot it the way they want. And that's how a movie like that gets made."
Right or wrong, isn't that also basically what the studio did with Superman Returns and Singer? And that did not work out quite so well.
@Ian A: Holy shit, you just made Aquaman cool. I didn't believe anyone other than PAD could do that, but you did.
Also, I must respectfully disagree with Matt Seneca. If there is only one Superman story, then it has to be "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?".
Aquaman's always cool.
@ Shiny Jim and Ian A: Even when his premise really was "the son of Jacques Cousteau fighting Nazis underwater," Aquaman was never enough of a draw to get his own title or a lead feature. Unfortunately, Aquaman, like Namor, suffers from the more general and rather odd aversion most people seem to have to fantasy and sci-fi with an underwater setting. While the myth of Atlantis has stuck around, it's hard to find multiple examples of successful popular fiction that use undersea settings, no matter how cleverly developed those fictions are.
Part of this is that underwater environments are hard to film in and even hard to convincingly fake in live-action. Well-remembered underwater stuff like James Cameron's The Abyss spent so much filming underwater that its domestic box office didn't cover the productions costs of the film. And other attempts to build popular franchises in such settings have failed in various media from comics to live-action TV to animation. Even in our myths, we're usually more interested in mermaids and Atlanteans coming to us on the surface than we are in exploring their world.
To go back to that Jacques Cousteau example: name any other person who's managed to become popular as an oceanographic researcher before or after him. He's a lone exception, not an example in a big category. And as the years since his death grow in number, you'll find fewer and fewer people in the target age group for comics who know who he even is. People have never warmed up to subsea adventure, and every Aquaman fan-turned-pro thinks their concept is the the magic remedy. None of 'em have been right to date.
@Dalarsco: I think you underestimate the degree to which Moore's Superman material, and especially "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", rely on a reader's prior knowledge of and connection to the Weisinger-era Superman mythos. Show that story to someone who knows Superman mainly through movies or TV, and it loses them quickly with its unfamiliar characters. For example, how much of the Bizarro and Mr. Mxyzptlk stuff relies on the reader having an emotional sense that these are light-hearteed characters gone horribly, horribly dark and wrong? Sure, we get one line from Lois about Mxy being a silly imp, but from his first appearance in the story to his horrific end, the story doesn't really communicate that to a new reader. Compare the Curt Swan stuff above, which has lighter moments, to the continually-descending gloom of the story you suggest. You need happy Superman stories to make Moore's sad Superman story resonant.; therefore, it can't be the "only" Superman story you ever need.
Indeed, Moore's Superman work in general is memorable, challenging, and distinctive because Moore tended in those days to deconstruct the fundamental optimism of the character and his world. We love them because, in their context, they're surprisingly heterodox Superman stories, pushing dark and melancvholic adult themes into one of comics' most utopian franchises. Virtually all of Moore's 1980s Superman tales are versions of the optimistic fantasies of superhero comics gone sour: the 1960s was full of bright shiny returns to Krypton, so Moore gives us Kal-El's grown-up sense of the planet's overdue demise, showing the utopia spoiled by sectarian violence and urban decay ("For the Man Who Has Everything," hereafter "FtMWHE"); the exciting discovery of a living piece of Kryptonian heritage in another Moore Superman story turns out to be a disease that demands Superman become extinct like the rest of his world ("The Jungle Line"); and the idea of Superman's last battle against evil, which resulted in a crime-free utopianb Earth in the Weisinger "Imaginary Stories," becomes a dark and foreboding iteration of Gotterdamerugn that Clark Kent survives, but Superman and most of Superman's friends and loved ones don't ("Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?," hereafter "WEHttMoT?").
In contrast, the Superman of the Wesinger stuff and the Morrison stuff is a man who makes even impending death a chance to do great good; in contrast, Moore gives us a Superman for whom things like a return to Krypton ("FtMWHE") or the threat of death ("The Jungle Line," "WEHttMoT?") take him into despair and fear. Moore's Superman overcomes these, but usually with great help (as in "The Jungle Line" and "FtMWHE") or by permanently sacrificing a big part of what "Superman" is, as when he resorts to killing in the story you name. The stories are brilliant, but they are brilliant because they violate the character and the spirit of the Superman concept, not because the exemplify it. More importantly, they do so by negelecting the cheerier parts of the Superman mythos, which I'd argue are an integral part of the whole that Moore deliberately discards to show us, by its absence, how central it is to making Superman work as a character and an idea.
name any other person who's managed to become popular as an oceanographic researcher before or after him
Steve Zissou.
Who Wes Anderson said was based on Cousteau, and whose film bombed horribly in the domestic box office, making 34 million on a 50 million budget. Next?
I'd say Steve's eaten-by-jaguar-shark partner was the real Cousteau analogue, but I also don't really care. Stop by the store on your way home, pick up a sense of humor.
I figured you were joking, but the last few days I've been hideously pedantic for no good reason. My apologies.
Um, just so it's clear, I was joking in my post also. In case anyone cared.
I liked in that Aquaman panel the part "he was written by Erik Larsen" and the implication that that could be the thing that's worse than all the others.
And I had to look for the naked werewolf ladies. And I was perturbed, and maybe even disturbed. Or vice versa.

Aggregate stupidity
Your privacy on social media can be measured as the aggregate stupidity of your friends. The trend seems to be that the purveyors pester people to upload their contact lists, complete with names, mobile phone numbers, email and real world addresses. If you are flogging a mobile phone as part of your empire, you probably don't even need to ask. It would not take too many slupred mobile phones to get nearly all the details and some statistical rigor on the reliability.

Fun and Festive card!!
I always love using wedding paper divas... It's fun to make invitations and makes me only want to use this site for all events!! I used wedding paper divas before my wedding. After using wpd for shower invites for friends my own wedding events and my wedding when the holidays approached I was eager to see what WPD had. When it came time to pick a invitation for my annual holiday bash the choice was simple!! I love how I can personalize instantly and see my results. Everyone is always super impressed with the quality and look of the invites. And all comments on the holiday party invites have been steller! "They look so expensive" and "always so well made" " you always have the cutest invites" I can't wait to pick out the invitations for my fathers upcoming surprise birthday!

Festive Rehersal Invitation Alternative
We slightly altered the wording of the card and turned it into a personalized rehersal dinner invitation for our New Year's Eve Rehersal Dinner and Gathering. Just love the vibe and festive nature of this card that many of the other designated rehersal cards didn't allude. We only wish that we had other paper options that could have added a bit of shimmer.

We invited some friends over for a combined engagement & holiday party with this card, which matched the occasion just perfectly. Loved the paper quality, and the print quality - the printing worked really perfectly with these different "rustic" fonts of the image. Couldn't have been happier with the result.

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Naugle is nothing more than what meets the eye.
The Charge
Autobots, roll out…again.
The Case
It could be that I've finally hit the saturation point when it comes to anything having to do with Hasbro's Transformers line of toys, cartoons, and live action movies. Of course, as anyone worth their kid's entertainment salt knows, the Transformers began as a popular toy line (originally created in Japan), morphed into a successful cartoon series, spawned a full length animated film, then went seemingly dormant for many years before being taken from the shelf, dusted off, and given new life with Michael Bay's series of live action films—Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Transformers: Age of Extinction. As the old saying goes, everything old is new again.
Transformers: Cybertron, a show that aired during the mid-2000s, was originally produced in Japan under the name Transformers: Galaxy Force. The series is a combination of traditional anime and computer generated animation, neither of which is the least bit impressive. The traditional animation (used for the human sequences) feels stale and shoddy while the computer animation (used for the Transformers themselves) feels sloppily thrown together and horribly dated. Did you see the 1992 horror/sci-fi movie The Lawnmower Man, an early '90s flick about cyberspace and virtual reality? Well, the CGI in Transformers: Cybertron is just a notch or two above that. Sequences are often repeated on a loop, including Optimus Prime changing from a robot into a truck (this scene feels like it happens about every ten minutes). This gets mighty weary after half a dozen times, and also gives the show a rather low-rent feel.
There is a plot to Transformers: Cybertron, although it's more of the same if you've seen any other version of the Transformers universe. This time around Optimus Prime and his team of Autobots (including Scattershot, Red Alert, Landmine, etc.) must secure four keys called the Cyber Planet Keys, which will destroy a black hole that was left behind by the enormous Unicron (who was featured in the 1987 film using Orson Welles' voice talents). Of course, Prime and his Autobots must recruit the help of some humans (including Bud, Lori, and Coby) to help them complete their mission. I found myself disconnected and disinterested in if the Autobots won or lost; even the appearance of my favorite Decepticon, the traitorous Starscream (voiced by Escape from Planet Earth's Michael Dobson), couldn't pique my interest.
Sorely missing from Transformers: Cybertron is the fun and lightness of the original series. There's something that feels off about this version, which may have to do with the fact that it was created for overseas in another country, then retooled for American audiences. The voice talent is all only mediocre; gone is the deep authority of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, instead replaced by Eight Below's Garry Chalk (this is like replacing Coke with a cheap store brand version). Everything about this iteration of the Transformers brand just feels slipshod and lazy.
The episodes (spread across seven discs) are presented in 1.33:1 full frame (the show's original aspect ratio). Shout! Factory gives fans a very clean and pristine looking picture. The colors on the show and bright and cheery and feature dark black levels and no major imperfections. The soundtracks are each presented in what appears to be Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo (no mention is made on the package). The audio mix for each episode is nothing special—this is a mostly front heavy mix that features one of the worst versions of the classic "Transformers" theme song ever (seriously, it's that bad). No alternate subtitles or soundtracks are available on this set. There are no extra features.
I suppose children will get a kick out of Transformers: Cybertron because…well, they're kids and all about a cartoon show featuring shape shifting robots no matter how lackluster the production values. While young ones may enjoy it, anyone over the age of fifteen is going to find this quite tedious and repetitive. Although it may be heresy to some, it may be time to put the Transformers on the shelf for a second time and give the property some time to cool off before letting it back on television again. Also, I'm happy if Michael Bay never gets his hands on them again, either.
The Verdict
For completists only.

Appround.net. How to Remove? (Uninstall Guide)
What is Appround.net?
Appround.net is a suspicious site, which has been included to the database of several anti-spywares and anti-viruses as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted program. This was done for several reasons that will be revealed in this article. First of all, this site has been reported for its hijacking capabilities. Beware that it may show up on each of your web browsers out of nowhere. In fact, in this case you should think what freeware have you recently downloaded to the system because bundling is the main method, which is used among such programs. Once Appround.net hijacks all of web browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and others), it may also start showing you various pop-up ads. Beware that not all of these ads are trustworthy and harmless. It might be that some of them are misleading and should be avoided. According to PC security experts, you should definitely avoid ads that promote PC Performer. After testing this program on their computers, they noticed that this application has more negative sides than positive. In addition, Appround.net ads may also be involved in promoting other adwares, browser hijackers and potentially unwanted programs that have been named as Win32.AdWare.IBrain.C and Win32/InstallBrain.B. If you want to avoid these threats on your computer, you should never download and install any software from appround.net.
If you have already noticed unwanted Appround.net redirects to unknown websites, annoying pop-up ads and slow downs, you should check your computer with the reputable anti-spyware because there is a huge possibility that your computer has already been hijacked. Typically, browser hijackers are mostly used for seeking to increase the web traffic to related websites but there is no guarantee that each of these sites is harmless. You may be rerouted to a really suspicious domain that seeks to trick you into downloading other PUPs. Appround.net can also become your homepage and search engine because of bundling, so scan your PC with updated anti-spyware to make sure that you are safe. For that we highly recommend using Reimage or other reputable anti-spyware.
How can Appround.net hijack my computer?
This browser hijacker can get inside its target PC system with the help of several ways of distribution. Typically, Appround.net is made the start page and the default search site voluntarily but it may also enter its target PC system in a bundle with freeware and shareware. If you want to avoid that, you should start monitoring installation of the freeware by selecting only Custom or Advanced installation of the freeware. Of course, after doing so you should also uncheck all pre-checked check marks that allow installation of Appround.net. Though it's not as much dangerous as malware or rogueware, still, it is capable to change some of computer's settings and start rerouting your searches to appround.net. That's why you should stay away from this program.
HOW TO REMOVE Appround.net virus?
If you have been tricked to download PC Performer or if have been suffering from continuous appround.net redirects, you should try to fix your system by following these steps:
You can remove Appround.net automatically with a help of one of these programs: Reimage, Malwarebytes Anti Malware. We recommend these applications because they can easily delete potentially unwanted programs and viruses with all their files and registry entries that are related to them.

Re: Credit Seminar - Interestin
g Informatio n and Question(s )
What he said apparently was a reminder that the cessation of derogs from your CR does not mean that other information on the account ceases to affect your credit scoring.
That is correct. The aging of a delinquency or derog from inclusion in your CR, and thus in credit scoring, does not remove any other information on the account, such as its age, or payment history/derogs related to other reported items of information.
Information they receive from your CR can theoretically extend back to day one on any account, except for specific items of information that have reached a certain CR exclusion date.

So you've got this webpage over at Motorola that's telling you all about the new Dick Tracy watch, aka the MOTOACTV, a sports-centric Android device made to wear on a strap around your arm or wrist. It looks fantastic, but you want a guide from an Android perspective, one that'll let you know exactly what this device is and how simple (or incredibly difficult) it'll be to use. We just happen to have a guide like that here! And after the guide we'll have a full review of the device as well!
Full disclosure, the following guide is essentially re-written from a reviewer's guide made for those taking a look at the MOTOACTV before consumers get their hands on it. What I'm aiming to do here is to write it in a style that'll make it both simple to understand and readable in a shorthand format so that you can get the idea of what's going on without committing to reading the bible of MOTOACTV, if you know what I mean.
Preparation of the device
This isn't the kind of device you can just pop out of the box and start running with, but it's close, and with only a few screens grabbing your weight, age, gender, and time zone. After entering these values, you could potentially jet out the door BUT you should of course do a few things like making sure its fully charged and that you've got it correctly attached to the accessory of your choice.
With the basic package you'll get the MOTOACTV itself in either an 8 or 16GB version, this telling you how much space you've got inside for things like MP3 music tracks, as well as a charger (with 2 USB out ports, neat!), USB cord, a clothing/belt clip, Motorola SF200 stereo headphones with built-in mic, and a guide book. After that you're able to purchase the following:
Clip (included but available for purchase if you lose yours)
SF200 headphones (ditto)
Sports Wrist Strap
Sports ArmBand
Bike Mount
Lucky for you, our review will contain all of these items because we've got the super deluxe awesome reviewers package, complete with biker dude/Gene Simmons box!
Once your device has been set up, you'll notice five home screens, the main and center screen being the Timepiece Screen, this you'll recognize by the giant digital time display as opposed to a big red icon in each of the other screens. The five screens are as follows, from left to right:
Settings - This area allow you to re-address anything you want to change that you set in the original setup as well as items like metrics, Audio Coach if you want to be spoken to during your run on how well you're doing with pace, split time options, workout customization, and you can even turn the Timepiece into a scary looking hardcore skull. I expect that further customizations of interface will be introduced over time as well - you also have the ability to change your theme from Fire to Blue Sky or Steel *unfortunately "Blue Steel" is not yet an option - soon!
Workout - Here is where you start your activity. From here you can select items like Running, Cycling, Elliptical, and more. See additional information on this screen in the Working Out section below.
Timepiece - The center screen displays the current time as well two items that start calculating each midnight and reset each midnight: steps and calories burned. The device uses a couple of built-in items: GPS and an accelerometer, to track how many steps you've gone in a day. MOTOACTV also has Bluetooth certified with *ANT+ which, as Motorola states, "enables compatible fitness equipment, like heart rate monitors, bike speed/cadence/power sensors, and foot pods, to communicate directly with your MOTOACTV using a low-power wireless protocol." Back in settings is where you'll be hooking your MOTOACTV up with anything from foot pods to power sensors to heart rate monitors, collecting data from these devices then via Bluetooth.
Music - This is where you'll control your music, of course, this separate from your workout so that you can manage the two independent from one another. You'll be adding music to your device via an application that you'll find available to add to your computer (your home computer, Windows or Mac,) which will work to load music as well as unload data if you wish to avoid MOTOACTV.com - more on that later. You can also get FM radio right from the device itself using your headphone plug as an antenna. The most awesome part about music is that MOTOACTV compiles data and attaches it to your music, this data then harvested to create one "high-performance playlist" of songs that've statistically made you move faster, and with more stamina than the others in the past.
Notifications - On the right is the last screen, this one working with your smartphone. If you do not want to use a smartphone in tangent with your MOTOACTV, you don't have to - isn't that neat? The device will of course be promoted as one that works to bring your smartphone to a whole new level, of course, here connecting not only to show you any notifications you have on that device, but letting you access calls, text messages, and calendar reminders as well.
[vms 4f65b9398f76d8be4c61]
MotoCast USB
To help you load your favorite music to your device, Motorola has included an application by the name of MotoCast USB. You can access this application by plugging your MOTOACTV into your computer with its USB cord. You'll either be prompted to install immediately, or you'll have to search for it - Mac users it'll be on your desktop or amongst your plugged-in media, Windows users you'll have to go to My Computer, MotoCast Drive, and MotoCastSetup.exe. Make it happen from there and poof! The application appears. You'll need to either create a MotoCast ID if you don't already have one or just log in from here, at which point you'll be ready to go for loading music and all kinds of other fun stuff from MOTOACTV.com to your device.
From this point you can either continue to plug your MOTOACTV in to your computer to connect to MotoCast USB or you can set your MOTOACTV up to connect with your computer via Wi-fi - should both your MOTOACTV and your computer be connected to the same Wi-fi network, you'll be in business for completely wireless syncing of media and data.
At the website MOTOACTV.com, you'll be able to access your MOTOACTV device-generated statistics with your MotoCast ID. Your statistics only upload to Motorola's servers if you connect your MOTOACTV to a Wi-fi network and you've signed in with your MotoCast ID on the device as well. This site is one of the big selling points of the device, but again, just like the smartphone bit, you don't need to connect to use the device on its own. With the site you'll be able to access the following:
Workouts - Each time you start and end an activity, it will be registered in your Workouts, complete with pace, distance, calories burned, and if your workout was outdoors, a map of your workout route. There's also a place to add journal notes to your workouts - for when you need to know that this was the day that you ate the cheeseburger before going on that hike that ended badly.
Planning - Here you'll be able to set up a workout plan on a big calendar, each workout date then given to you as a reminder on your device should you later load the information in to the hardware. There's also maps of the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina connected to training plans and tips from fitness experts like Chris Carmichael that you can use if you've got no idea where to start.
Goals - Just as the title implies, this is the place where you can set goals for your fitness, these goals then tracked via your workout routine loaded into the site with your device. Goals include weight loss, workout frequency, and stamina.
Competition - As users from across the country join the fun here with MOTOACTV.com, you'll be able to compete against one another in competition. You can also connect with your friends and family through their accounts and have one big MOTOACTV social running network! This is clearly the goal, anyway.
Settings - Here's where you can create a profile including photo and personal stats, adjust your privacy settings. You can also manage your MOTOACTV device from this area of the website and explore your Fitness Zones and maps (which you can customize yourself.)
Working out
From your Workout screen you'll be able to select from any of the following: Running, Cycling, Walking, Elliptical, and Step Machine. You can also select "recent" which shows what you've done recently as far as workouts and can select "race myself" if you'd like to improve. Before you start anything though, once you've selected what you want to do, you'll want to calibrate your device - this option will come up as you start your activity and will take you about 2 minutes. You'll want to make sure your GPS is locked, this taking just a few seconds depending on where you are in the world, or that your accelerometer is working well (this mostly for when you're indoors.)
Inside a workout you're able to see your live data screen which can show things like pace, hour, elevation, and calories. You can adjust what you see here in your settings on the device by heading to Settings, Workout, Customize Views. You have the option of adding an Audio Coach which will speak to you on your important stats like time, calories burned, and heart rate, each of these only when you tap your MOTOACTV display for an update. No worries about nagging!
Hardware Features
A few other items exist for the MOTOACTV which aren't really categorizable under the software end of the device and that we'll be reviewing in kind here on the site. They are, in no particular order:
Display - what you've got here is an a 1.6-inch LCD capacitive display on a device that is 1.81 x 1.81 x 0.38 inches large, and the screen is no ordinary bit of tech - instead what you've got here is a transflective display which, as Motorola says, "turns black and white in direct sunlight." We'll be checking that out for sure!
Toughness - Motorola notes that the entire MOTOACTV is both scratch resistant (and it certainly is as it's got Gorilla Glass across the front) and water resistant. They literally suggest that we "Take it for a test drive during a rain storm" and "Take it to your gym for an all-out sweat fest on the treadmill." We'll do a bit of that testing as well, though I can't promise an all-out sweat fest, as it were.
Seeya here soon for the full review of the device!
