Memphis Beat (2010)
So far so good
So far, the show seems pretty good. I generally don't get hooked into shows right away, it sometimes takes years before I "discover" them. But with the case of Memphis Beat I was willing to give it a shot.
Jason Lee never seems to be out of place in anything he does, and so is the case here. He plays the sort of "against the grain" detective pretty well. He's harnessed a little bit of "Earl" and a little bit of "Brodie" from his roles in My Name is Earl, and Mallrats respectively. But he's also injected a little of something new.
The entire Elvis thing did not sound good at first, but the way the show handles it is pretty good. It's just sort of "out there" floating around the show and not an integral part.
The rest of the cast so far, quite honestly, is sort of forgettable. No disrespect to any of the actors, but no one really jumped out to me as a core part of the show. Maybe that will come with time, and a few more episodes.
The stories are so far pretty well done. The music score, has been excellent. This show has some of the best, most fitting music of anything on television. The music is part of the star power here, it really pulls the show around from place to place, and sets the moods perfectly.
I will keep watching...
Tropic Thunder (2008)
Funny? Maybe a little. Boring? Absolutely.....
I can't even tell you if this movie was funny, it was so painfully boring I lost interest. I could not even make it through the entire film. It was basically morons walking through the woods arguing with each other, over which one was more stupid.
There were a few moments of smile inducing comedy, but I never once laughed out loud. Jack Black going through detox was kinda funny at times, but this movie was not very good.
I usually like Ben Stiller, heck I liked Zoolander. But this movie was just too lame to keep me interested. It lost me about the time the director blew up, and Stiller's character was too stupid to realize it was real, and basically started drinking the brain out of the severed head, to prove it was fake....at that point I was losing hope the movie was going to get better.....
Sadly, the next 30 minutes of the movie....nothing happens that is of any interest or comedy...it did not get better, it got nothing....not better or worse, it just goes nowhere fast...
The ending is just lame and predictable. I don't understand why this movie is worthy of the 7+ ratings is has here in IMDb.
It's Effin' Science (2010)
Mythbusters Light?
As a big fan of Mythbusters, I was less than impressed overall with this show. It's not bad, but it is also not original in any way. The host is fun, but the two science guys are somewhat underwhelming. So far all the experiments have just been another version of something other shows have already touched on. Now that in and of itself does not make it horrible, but the overall presentation seems rushed, like they are trying to fit too much into every 1/2 hour. They quickly explain the science, and then show the highlights of the experiment. None of the experiments seem well controlled, and seem some have a hard time finding the end point.
All in all it's not a horrible way to spend 30 minutes, but I won't be DVR'ing it anytime soon.
The House Bunny (2008)
OK I admit it was funny
I really did not expect much going in. I really only wanted to watch it because Anna Farris is usually quite funny all by herself. She was great in "The Hot Chick" and usually funny in the "Scary Movie" flicks.
In "House Bunny" Farris is her typically funny self, but she shows a lot more sex appeal then I ever thought she might have. And that gives her the ability to pull off "Shelly" a totally typical "Playboy Bunny" without any problem. I never doubted for a second that she was a "Shelly" so-to-speak...
The rest of the cast is funny as well. Some of the girls in the sorority were so bizarre they were "cartoon-ish"....but in a good way. All the actors played their parts well. No one really steals the show from Farris at any point as she is without a doubt the star but the entire cast was a pleasure to watch.
If I have to have one casting complaint, it would be Colin Hanks. He got a bit of a short stick IMO. He was totally wasted in this movie. His character was woefully underdeveloped, and his scenes were mostly about looking oddly at Shelly. Hanks is too good of a comic asset to waste on such a small role. They should have expanded it more, or just used someone else because I kept wanting more......The entire Shelly/Oliver relationship was underdeveloped and lacking.
All in all the script was pretty silly, and provided all the typical ups/downs of the usually fish out of water scenario. In this case it attacks both sides of the coin well enough. It points out the basic morality of judging a book by the cover and etc...etc...It never takes itself too seriously but it does provide a few overall messages.
If you are looking for a fun movie with a few hearty laughs this is not a bad choice. Because lets face it, movies like this are designed to make you laugh for a while. There are a lot of small funny things going on the entire time, some original, some old school....but it tries the entire time.
There are some moments that are very funny....Farris will force a few laughs out of you that you didn't see coming. But you have to like silly jokes. There is nothing here that might not end up in your usual "Lampoon" movie. It is what it is. But few things like the way Shelly remembers people's names are just out-of-left field funny.
It was definitely worth watching.
The Comebacks (2007)
Not great, but not horrible
It is hard to really rate movies like this. It is obviously not going to be anything classic. It is probably going to be pretty much forgettable. So what if any redeeming qualities might this have? Why waste your time? Well all I can say is that, it is what it is! There are many amusing moments, there are a couple funny moments. It is a mildly amusing comedy that hits the obvious laughs. And in that it is a decent movie. It makes fun of every sports movie it can think of, and most of the jokes are average at best. But on a few occasions there are some very funny prop comedy moments.
The actors all do a reasonable job with what they have to work with. The obvious jokes don't ask them to be exceptional. It just asked them to deliver the lines and try not to laugh at how ridiculous the lines are. And they all do a good job of being ridiculous, right in step with the movie.
It is a fun movie that does not take itself serious at all. No it is not "Airplane" or "Dumb&Dumber" type of classic flick. But if you compare it to something like "Not another teen movie" or any of the newer super-spoofs it holds its own. It is certainly better than "Meet the Spartans" or "Epic Movie" spoofs.
I thought Brooke Nevin was fun to watch. She is beautiful to start with, but beyond that she is very good. She delivers with a subtle but memorable performance. I'd like to see her more in the future I think she has a quality that comes through on screen. The rest of the cast is solid, and Mr. Lawrence is pretty good. He's a much better actor than his older brother if that is really saying much. And the always fetching Melora Hardin does her thing as she always does, this time as Coach Fields' wife. She is such an underrated talent.
The movies is filled with cameos from recognizable faces from both sports and movies. Just about every cameo can be traced back to someone with a much bigger resume than the role. It's fun stuff.
All in all, if you are looking for intelligent entertainment you won't enjoy this. But if you are willing to leave your mind at the door and just enjoy the stupidity, the movies has a lot of fun stuff going on to keep you interested for 90 minutes or so.
How I Got Into College (1989)
Fun and underrated
This is one of those movies that few people seem to know about. And those that do seem to either love it or hate it. I would consider myself on the former curve of that scale, I like it a lot but I don't love it.
What this movie is, is a fun and light comedy that only briefly touches on any sort of real world lesson. But it does send a positive message loud and clear. It says that if you want something bad enough, you can make it happen with some hard work and a bit of luck. It does so in a basic way, but nonetheless it makes the point.
The movie itself is not filled with huge memorable laughs. There are some common and lame gags, helped along by some big talents like Anthony Edwards and the late great Charles Rocket. But what the movie lacks in classic moments, it makes up for in interesting and sometimes twisted moments that leave you smirking. It is not a laugh fest, but it is a smile maker that will make you chuckle at times.
The movie also has a lot of visual gags that often escape attention the first time around. You can see the subtle "Better Off Dead" ties all over the place in style and of course the several actors that were on both movies. The two movies do not really compare beyond that.
Lara Flynn Boyle is as lovable as she ever has been in this role. Her portrayal of the All-American "loved by all" High School girl is well done. She and Corey Parker pull off a believable chemistry, as this is probably his defining role. Parker is a good underdog without being an underdog. Its never hard to believe that his character could pull off the things he does by winning over the Prom Queen or getting into the college of his dreams.
All in all this movie is a lot of fun and deserves some props. If you like goofy and fun movies you will like this one. If you are looking for Oscar caliber entertainment you will not get past the first scene anyway so you won't care.
Airborne (1993)
classic mindless fun
A typical fish out of water story.....
The young hip SoCal surfer kid named Mitchell (Shane McDermott) gets moved, against his will of course to land locked Cincinnati, Ohio where his geeky cousin Wiley (Seth Green) lives. Wiley an outsider himself in a way tries to show his SoCal cousin the ropes at his hockey crazy high school.
The set up of the movie is really lame. Somehow just a few days in town the Surfer kid ends up in a big Ice Hockey game (also against his will) and mistakenly scores a goal for the other team. So of course the hockey jocks of the school now want to make his life miserable and start a series of endless pranks. As a life-long hockey fan I was repulsed by what the movie called "hockey" ....It was a pathetic attempt at comedy I guess, but not really funny at all. I suppose it was sort of funny watching Jack Black play goal and fall down a few times but beyond that it was all pretty lame....
The movie really changes as soon as a dejected Mitchell comes home from another miserable day a school, and gets a package in the mail. The package contain his beloved Roller Blades and soon Mitchell is out on the town doing tricks on the streets, making friends on BMX bikes, skateboards and roller blades.
Once that switch is thrown on the movie the fun really starts. Mitchell starts to build a friendship with a local girl Nikki, played very well by the adorable Brittney Powell. And he starts to feel good about himself for the first time since leaving the beach.
Shane McDermott has since retired from acting, but this was probably his best performance. And make no mistake he was quite good in the movie. He plays the cool SoCal surfer kid well, and he manages quite a few dynamic character swings with relative ease. It makes you wonder why he gave up the ghost so easily on his career, he is a talented actor. He holds his own in a movie filled with fun characters by such current superstars as Seth Green and Jack Black.
This was the first movie I ever saw Jack Black in, and it was apparent right away that he was going to be a star. His natural character was just so apparent. And of course Seth Green is always good.
Alanna Ubach is also in the film, and although she is not yet a household name, she will be eventually. She has been a secondary player in many great movies including Legally Blond. And she is a very good actor.
Eventually the tough guys from the opposing hockey team pick a fight with Mitchell and his refusal to fight makes people think he is a wuss. But he tries to prove he is just peaceful. Then he learns that the girl he was courting, Nikki, is big jock hockey player's sister, who also wants to fight him. When Mitchell's pacifist ways make it look like he does not care, people pull away from him. Even his cousin Wiley is disappointed that he would not fight. But Mitchell is not a wimp, he is misunderstood, which is explained as a foreshadow story he tells Nikki at a hockey game when they first meet.
Eventually a dream compels Mitchell to chase after Nikki in spite of the fact she tells him to leave her alone, and in spite of the fact her large brother wants to kill him. But Mitchell fights back with some great play in a roller hockey game, and series of pranks against the opposing hockey team. His school hockey players figure him out and invite him to skate in an dangerous roller blade race, in traffic down a series of hills...... Of course he does and helps them win the big race and all his happy in the end.
While the hockey scenes are pretty lame as far as realism goes, the roller blade stunts are quite good. Nothing supernatural takes place, although some excellent stunts were pulled off. There is no CGI in this one, just old school stuntmen. The illegal street race that the entire movie leads up to is well done and accurately portrayed.
Like a million movies before it, Airborne does nothing special, or even original. But it does have fun along the way, and the actors do pretty well with what limited story they had. It also sends a positive message that restraint can be cool. And that maybe fighting is not always the answer.
The movie is just some fun mindless entertainment, with some good actors sprinkled through.
Wanted (2008)
strange and basically lame
I'm not even sure what to say about this movie. Yet it was so bizarre that I feel like I have to say something.
First off, the idea and concept are intriguing. The whole loser guy being recruited by some secret fraternity in which he is the new superstar is always fun. It gives every average Joe the idea that it could happen to them. It is a formula that many movies have followed with success. And as with most cases, the hero prevails in the end....
The problem with this movie is its ridiculous action, and mind numbing lack of reality. Flipping cars, curving bullets, seemingly inhuman ability to recover from all wounds because of some wax.....all of it is so contrived and impossible that it takes the movie into places it should just not go. The parting shot where Angelina Jolie kills everyone with one curving bullet is beyond impossible, even if you could curve a bullet. The ballistics and physics of bullets are violated all movie long but this parting shot is just so stupid that it makes the less stupid parts of the movie seem...you guessed it....more stupid.... a bullet from a pistol would not travel through 7 skulls even in a straight line, yet here it does so in a circle?
Even beyond the stupid bullet tricks, was the stupid twists in the plot. The entire fact that these people kill because a cotton loom tells them to via some impossible code it just silly.... Especially given the fact that there is no explanation of why they started following the loom in the first place.
Then there are the plot points that are seemingly forced into the fold as last second thoughts. The main character learns to be a super killer because he gets the crap beat out of him? They seriously teach him to fight by beating him up over and over again within an inch of his life. Somehow that turns him into a calculated killer...again very odd and never explained. And he's killing his father and defending his honor, all in no order that makes sense or furthers the plot.
Oh wait it was explained, by the fact that the hero has the ability to process more adrenaline than normal humans, so he can "slow down" everything he sees....So apparently beating him to near death taught him how to control it. OK well.....maybe......
The acting in the movie was fine, all the characters were believable for the most part. There were even some moments of comedic levity that made you smile. And there were more than a few amazing and fun action scenes. Those elements were OK which was why I gave it a "5" and not a "3".......
The movie should have really been billed as a sci-fi flick, and not an action/adventure spy movie, which is what it seems to be on the surface. But really there was too much impossibility to even be plausible and that takes away from the movie. Some of those impossible elements could have been left out and the plot would still have worked. But the confusing and pointless plot twists were silly and only convoluted the entire thing.
Hot Pursuit (1987)
Should be more well known
I generally like John Cusack in every movie he is in. There are some exceptions where that is not the case, but IMO it has been tough to find a Cusack movie I don't like.
With that said, it is no surprise I like this movie too. It is not exactly deep in story or genius dialog. It is not Cusack as his usual introspective self. What it is however, is a fun and funny chase movie that starts going quickly and keeps you entertained to the end.
There is nothing too shocking, the good guys win, the bad guys lose, but there is a lot of fun, and even some decently tense drama mixed into this bag of nuts.
You don't have to like Cusack to like this movie either, it is just a wild ride that he tags along for, and occasionally shines with some understated comedic moments. There is no deep hidden meaning here, its just a fun little flick that seems to have faded into the background. When really more people should know about it.
The Chase (1994)
Highy underrated
This movie is one of the more underrated movies out there. It is fast paced, entertaining and funny. And above all it was different and original. It was a great parody of the modern media hungry America we live in and was somewhat ahead of its time. The documentary style that invades the film is not unlike the Youtube reality we see today, and it makes the film seem less outrageous and more plausible.
Sure the premise was a bit far fetched, and the love story a bit unrealistic.....but if you can suspend belief the movie is a lot of fun.
Charlie Sheen is great as the wrongly convicted escapee, a role that he did not really have to stretch for but still he was excellent if understated. Kristy Swanson was at her best IMO as the abducted millionaire's daughter, she was annoying and at the same time sexy. You just had to love her.
But the "supporting" star of the movie is without a doubt Henry Rollins. He plays the well-intended but power-tempted lead police officer so well it is scary. Rollins is funny and entertaining the whole time. He makes you really see into the plight of what the modern cop is facing from many angles.
The other supporting roles, in which many famous people are sprinkled in from Carey Elwes to rockers Flea and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but all roles are really well done and satire rich.
I would say those just looking for some high octane entertainment with a thick dose of satire and parody mixed in would like this movie.

Hearn Requests Meeting To Make Quigg-Frampton
By Shaun Brown
Matchroom Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn told BoxingScene today that it's "Music to our ears" after discovering that Leo Santa Cruz wants to face WBA Super-bantamweight champion Scott Quigg in a unification clash in July or August instead of Carl Frampton, according to quotes from The Daily Mail's website earlier today.
Santa Cruz, the WBC belt holder at 122lbs told SportsMail: "I think I will fight Scott Quigg before Carl Frampton, he has the belt and Frampton doesn't have one right now. It's a better opportunity against Scott."
In response, Hearn told 'Scene: "We'd be more than happy to step up and face Santa Cruz in a unification, let's make it happen."
But Hearn also informed BS that he is due to meet with Carl Frampton's team this week in order to push through a fight between the Northern Irishman and Quigg.
"My number one choice without any shadow of a doubt is Carl Frampton for Quigg. We've made offers, we've requested meetings and we're waiting to hear back from the McGuigans about a meeting this Friday which I've asked to be brought forward. I want to try and get moving. Let's just get in a room and get the fight made. I want (Quigg) to fight Carl Frampton, and that's what everyone wants, but if they don't want it then our number one target is Santa Cruz."

The Vikings, who suffered a 62-0 defeat in the reverse fixture last season, ended a 16-match losing run against Saints, stretching back to 1994, to stun Nathan Brown's side with a six-try show. Jack Owens scored two tries and four goals for Widnes, who conceded an early touchdown to rookie Luke Thompson but rallied to lead 28-12 at half-time.
While Saints threatened a comeback in the second half, Joe Mellor's 56th-minute try and a late drop goal from Danny Craven ensured there was no way back for the hosts. Betts said: "It feels like our best performance back in Super League."
He added: "We got a real good thumping here last year and it's never easy to win at Saints. We showed plenty of desire but it was disappointing to concede two late tries, we wanted to keep them below 20 points."
Betts paid special tribute to Owens as well as skipper Jon Clarke.
"Jack was fantastic at full-back and has really matured over the last few weeks," Betts added. "It's a big stage here and he did a lot of work and that's why I took him off to give Danny Craven a run.
"When Rhys Hanbury is fit, we will have some real exciting ball runners at the back who can ignite our side. Jon Clarke was outstanding and doesn't get the plaudits he deserves. He's a model professional and playing as well as ever."
Saints trailed 34-18 until snatching late tries from Tony Puletua and Alex Walmsley, with the latter converted by Tommy Makinson. It was too little, too late, however, and coach Brown admits his side are stuck in a rut following their fifth successive defeat and hinted they are struggling with injuries to key players.
He said: "We are low in confidence at the moment. It was disappointing to see our response after having a try disallowed when we led 12-6. We defended well for a long time but our resolve was not quite good enough to keep us in the contest. Kevin Brown came up with some nice kicks for tries but we had the best forward on the pitch in Luke Thompson.
"Some of our younger players are outshining more experienced ones and the big picture for the club looks good. We are missing our injured players and being without our number one and nine (Jonny Lomax and James Roby) is very important."

Team Lara: HBO Should Tell Williams - Rematch or Retire!
By Rick Reeno
Luis DeCubas Jr., the manager of junior middleweight contender Erislandy Lara, is livid with his client's majority decision loss to Paul Williams. On Saturday night at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Williams (40-2, 27 KOs) was awarded a very unpopular decision over Lara (15-1-1, 10 KOs).
Nearly every ringside observer scored the fight for Lara, with 116-112 and 117-111 being the most popular tallies. However, the official judges saw a completely different fight. Hilton Whitaker and Don Givens had it 115-114, and, 116-114, respectively, for Paul Williams, with Al Bennett scoring it a 114-114 draw.
HBO commentators Max Kellerman and Roy Jones had it nine rounds to three for Lara. HBO ringside scorer Harold Lederman had it 117-111 for Lara, as did BoxingScene.com. Lara had the advantage in power shots, 178-to-161, and in overall landed punches, 224-to-200 against Williams.
"If Paul Williams, [trainer] George Peterson or any member of his team have any type of respect and dignity for the sport of boxing, they will fight a rematch. It's safe to say that Paul Williams got wet, dirty and burnt. We will see if Paul Williams has any manhood, heart, class or respect, by granting Lara a much deserved rematch. Judges like that ruin the sport that I love so very much. HBO has to do the right thing for the sport by demanding that Williams has to fight Lara again or he can retire," DeCubas told BoxingScene.com.
Not Pauls fault, but that decision absolutely stank.Comment by AddiX on 07-10-2011

Life's A Beach: Eavesdropping In The Sand
"Sweetie, do you know what that is?" No response. "Look at that bird! You know what they call it?" Still no response. "It's a seagull!"
After donning snowshoes last February and tromping out to the garden to inspect damage from a furious near-blizzard, my heart sank when I observed several feet of heavy, wet snow had not only ripped down most of the netting over my blueberry bushes but also snapped some of the wooden framework.
I had slaved for weeks last fall constructing a bird and deer barrier, and would therefore have to spend who knows how many more days repairing the structure in the spring.
Loyal readers will recall my travails reassembling the enclosure in order to foil a herd of robo-deer and one persistent catbird that were determined to penetrate my defenses.
I'm thrilled to report that my 10-foot-tall wire fencing and heavy-gauge nylon netting supported by 2x4s and steel posts, surrounded by a perimeter of tulip-poplar sapling trunks lashed together like tee-pee frames, have done the trick.
Not one four-legged or feathered freeloader has made it past my Checkpoint Charlie, and now I am fully appreciating the biblical aphorism in Galatians VI, "As ye sow, shall ye reap."
Yes, I'm reaping blueberries big time, and if there's a better way to start the day than a mountain of the fresh-picked fruit served over Greek yogurt I'd like to know.
Blueberries have been a perennial success for years but this season I have a new favorite crop, one that I've never grown before: garlic.
Just before the ground froze last November I planted more than 100 cloves, separated from about five pounds of bulbs, then spread 50 pounds of composted cow manure over the dirt, and finally topped everything with 6 inches of crushed leaves.
In late March daffodil-like shoots poked from snow-covered soil, and by June they had shot up hip-high. Soon scapes appeared – curved stalks that will contain seedpods if you let them grow.
Following instructions from various authorities I snipped the scapes so that more plant energy would go into bulb growth rather than flower production. Although some gardeners say cutting the scapes makes no difference in growth, an added benefit is you can sauté these scallion-like shoots and savor their garlic flavor long before you get around to digging up bulbs.
Last week I unearthed my first garlic bulb and raced with it into the kitchen.
Unlike dried bulbs most of us get from the store, fresh-picked garlic peels as easily as an onion, and in seconds I had the entire bulb sliced and sizzling in a skillet coated with extra-virgin olive oil.
Throw in a few veggies and serve over fresh pasta, and you have a breathtaking – make that breathshaking – meal.
Halitosis is the down side of garlic. It's best not to consume large quantities the day before, say, a love scene with Gwyneth Paltrow or whistling the Bach Cantata 147 in close quarters.
On the plus side, you don't have to worry about vampires.
About a third of my crop now is drying on a table on the deck under a beach umbrella – I'm letting the rest grow a little longer, though not too long or they may start to rot. In a few days I'll hang the harvested bulbs from a line under the eaves for a few weeks, and then they can be placed in nylon net bags and stored for months.
I'll also save a batch to plant in the fall.
Elsewhere in the garden, spinach and peas have already gone by, but the Swiss chard should be going strong through fall. Bush and pole beans are beginning to produce; tomatoes are still green and peppers still too small, but it won't be long.
The Brussels sprouts look very healthy, though it will be months before they're edible; onions and shallots are ready to toss into the skillet with the garlic.
For some reason, eggplant has been a disappointment this season. Oh well, can't have everything.
Oh, and the table grape vines I planted in the spring have all sprouted, though it will be another year before they bear fruit. It was a real leap of faith receiving these bare branches in the mail in April, sticking them in the ground, and waiting to see leaves appear.
Come to think of it, all gardening is a leap of faith, rewarded by a miracle.
The season is still young; a continued harvest awaits.
"Sweetie, do you know what that is?" No response. "Look at that bird! You know what they call it?" Still no response. "It's a seagull!"

Posted on 04/13/2010 9:52:58 PM PDT by pissant
Human rights activists are demanding the superstar stinger donate to charity the more than $2 million dollars in blood money he received for playing a secret concert for the daughter of one the worlds most brutal dictators.
O Sting, where is thy sting?
It is not where his principles lie, according to human rights activists who are demanding that the superstar stinger donate to charity the more than $2 million dollars in blood money he received for playing a secret concert for the daughter of one the worlds most brutal dictators, Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan.
The little known dictator burst upon the international scene in 2005 when his troops opened fire on protesters in the city of Andijan. Estimates of the number of casualties, largely women and children, run from 187, the state official figure, to 5000. In the outraged that followed, Karimov closed an American military base used to support troops in Afghanistan and shifted his allegiances to China and other non-Western nations.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Two million dollars is a lot of principal.
All the preachy, preachy lyrics and posturing.
I think this is just another Da doo doo doo, da da da da...
friggin liberal sh*ts. Whores all...
I am well aware of the Uzbek president's appalling reputation in the field of human rights as well as the environment. I made the decision to play there in spite of that."
"I have come to believe that cultural boycotts are not only pointless gestures, they are counter-productive, where proscribed states are further robbed of the open commerce of ideas and art and as a result become even more closed, paranoid and insular."
I'll take it from his remarks that he will understand why we sometimes work with flawed and imperfect governments in the pursuit of a greater good.
Hypocrite libtard douchebag. His solo sissy songs wreak of spinelessness.
"Whores all"
Sting...you don't have to put on the red light....
Wasn't he one of the "no nukes" pukes?
Remember on the left you only have to espouse the right dogma, what you do behavior wise does not apply unless you are conservative.
Classic case is Bill Clinton's behavior and the silence of NOW in the face of rape allegations of Jaunita Broadrick. The left said NOTHING, because Bill Clinton supported womens rights in speeches.
Of course. He's righteous. He's cool. He does yoga. He eats grass. He hangs with fashionably foreign people with accents. He's got to be against nukes.
I have to say, I'm enjoying this. Sting is like one of those actors who keeps the bankers at bay by doing commercials in Japan that they hope no one will find out about, and now he's been found out.
This is funny. I like him but he's one of the more insufferably pompous people in music. Not John Couger Mellancamp pompous, and he is talented, but the pomposity makes this episode enjoyable.
Which of the daughters was it? The younger one appears to be a philanthropist.
This seems to be the older one who runs the business empire.
I honestly was never a Sting or a Police fan. However, after seeing Sting in an interview claiming that "We, as a society, have created a criminal class and they have every right to be criminals" (May not be word for word, it was a long time ago) I wrote him off as a liberal jerk.
Maybe obuma was secretly there too and did his usual bow to the dictator thug?
I never liked him, or the police, Die Sting.
Would all the political and corporate whores who've done business with, kissed the asses of, bowed to murderous Red China please give us all our money back?
They became very overrated, but in 1981 or so The Police rocked the heck out.
Another fool forgot his poo poo stinks.
Proof of the awesomeness:
I'm sorry, is this a conservative website?
Sting has been "accused" of doing that which he does for a living: performing.
Why does he now owe the leftists money?
this has nothing to do with owing money
Sting is a midget libtard and he rails all the good causes yet then runs off and gets paid 2M to play for a bloodthirsty dictator
how does that add up to owing leftists money?
it just shows he has no principles just talk...a whore basically with a podium
and a horsey wife...don't get me started
and an open marriage too
typical celeb wack
next week I hear he's doingh a private show for the next Hamas suicide bomber class graduation...what a sport
Sting: "I have come to believe that cultural boycotts are not only pointless gestures, they are counter-productive, where proscribed states are further robbed of the open commerce of ideas and art and as a result become even more closed, paranoid and insular."
Upon hearing the singer's explanation, Craig Murray, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, [rhetorically] asked Is he mad?"
i thought springsteen was great too, but now i cant stand him and sold my collection for $18.
"There's a little black spot on my soul today..."
lol...that should do the trick
you know I met him very briefly in Waylon's office in 1996 or so
Miles Copeland had Waylum doing bits with all these rock folks he had access to on his label
he was tiny and wearing a houndstooth checked little Dickens looking suit...very odd...but quite personable
hit on all the gals...claimed he and Trudie are allowed to
Gordon Sumner and his wife have an open marriage. They have both talked about it often. I blame the Jesuits who educated him myself.
and open marriage is like an open mind...empty...and a canard to boot
I could not bear the thought of my little wifey having sex...especially the good kind.. with another man....makes me want to listen to Dropkick Murphys and kill someone
Someone should look up his "pointless gestures" conducted against South Africa.
I've never met the libidot. ...or even seen him in concert.
Seems most guys with "open" marriages have wives that look like Mr. Ed.
I didn't say that.
He called himself a verb, present tense. Hes not Stung. Hes not Stinging. Hes Sting.
"'Allo Gordo."
"Excuse me, I would prefer if you called me 'Sting' from now on."
"Sting?!?! You've gone off your bleedin' rocker, you 'ave."
Yeah, this is the same guy who was complaining about overpopulation. At last check, he has seven kids.
lol....good observation
Big stink, Sting stung, sang song for Islam.
Then again, the Amnesty folks probably had front row tickets at the concert.

Frenchie posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI have just got a 1981 Fiesta GL, all original but needs a bit of love. The front wings are in a right state and rust has eaten alot especially from around the headlights. Where can I get replacements from with the silver stripe etc or should i have it filled up? I also have a problem with it starting. I have to get it running and keep my foot on the accelerator or it dies. Once it has been running for a bit it ticks over fine! I am a bit of a n00b with cars so I am struggling a bit. My sister gave it to me because she was going to scrap it!

Inkjet or Laser Printing?By Online Labels
Any time you're in the market for a new printer, the unavoidable question emerges, "Laser or Inkjet?" It can be an intimidating question for people who don't know the difference. Here is what you need to know when deciding between laser and inkjet printers for your labeling projects.
How to Determine Your Printer Type
Below are five quick ways to see what type of printer you already own.
- Inspect the cartridge. If it's large and bulky, it's most likely toner from a laser printer. Smaller cartridges generally belong to inkjet printers.
- Is it warm? Laser Printers use a special laser that helps fuse images on paper using ink.
- Does it smear? Inkjet printers will smudge if the ink is wet. If you rub the print and it smears or bleeds while wet, it's most likely an inkjet printer.
- Take a look at the model name. Typically, they can identify if it's a laser or inkjet printer.
- Search the web. A quick search of the model of your printer will often give all of the answers you need!
Deciding which new printer to get can be a pretty tough decision. It can go a little deeper than which price looks the best on the shelf. There are a few long-term factors to consider before making a purchase.
Laser vs. Inkjet: Which Printer is Best for You?
Inkjet Printers
An inkjet printer propels tiny droplets of ink onto the paper during printing, which then must dry. They are the most common type of printer due to their low cost, high quality of output, capability of printing in vivid color, and ease of use. Unfortunately, frequent ink cartridge replacement may drive up the daily operating cost.
- Most models are very affordable.
- Great for occasional use at home or office.
- Capable of printing images with photo-quality results.
- Produces vivid colors.
- Can be costly to operate and maintain.
- Slower printing print speed compared to most laser printers.
- Ink cartridges tend to have a short life.
Laser Printers
Laser printers use a special laser to produce an electrically charged image on a drum, which is then rolled through powdered toner. The toner then fuses onto the paper using heat. Laser printers have traditionally been used for business applications because of high printing speeds and ability to handle large volume printing. In general, laser printers tend to be more expensive than inkjet printers.
- Usually costs less to operate on a daily basis.
- On average, toner cartridges have a longer life.
- Sharp text quality.
- Fast printing speeds.
- Can be more expensive at time of purchase.
- Sometimes images and detailed graphics do not print as well.
- Toner cartridges can be very costly to replace.

In-form Baines targets FA Cup glory after goal helps Everton reach final eight
Leighton Baines has set his sights on going all the way in the FA Cup after Everton finally saw off Oldham in tonight's fifth-round replay.
Baines' penalty was sandwiched in between goals from Kevin Mirallas and Leon Osman as Everton won 3-1 at Goodison Park to set up a quarter-final against Baines' former club Wigan.
And the full-back told ITV1: 'We've been close a couple of times and that whets your appetite. We want to go further but we've got a tough tie next.
Key man: Leighton Baines' penalty put Everton in full control of tonight's FA Cup fifth round tie against Oldham
'We're at home so we'll be favourites, but we've had tough games against them the last couple of seasons and they're coming off the back of a good win at the weekend so they'll be confident.'
Oldham appeared unlucky not to have a penalty of their own when Phil Jagielka's clearance struck Darron Gibson on the hand.
And Baines added: 'I haven't seen it but [if so] we'll take our bit of luck, you need it if you're going to get through in the cup.'
Osman said: 'We knew it was going to be tough, they're very physical and good in the final third.'
And he hailed fellow goalscorer Mirallas, saying: 'He's been in a good bit of form over the season and he popped up with an important goal tonight to get the ball rolling.'
Substitute Matt Smith scored Oldham's
consolation goal, the giant striker's fourth goal in the last two
rounds of the cup against Liverpool and Everton.
Reflecting on the result, he said: 'It's disappointing, it's been a good FA Cup run for the club.
'We played very well and we're not
going to go up against a stronger opposition all season so we can take
some credit from the performance.'
Smith was left on the bench for both
games against the Toffees and said: 'You want to start every game,
especially as a forward to get a run and breed confidence in front of
'But I'm not one to my throw toys out of the pram, I just want to help the team once I get on.'
Oldham's caretaker manager Tony Philliskirk was proud of his players despite defeat.
Latics memorably saw off Nottingham
Forest and Liverpool under Paul Dickov's stewardship, before the former
Scotland international's resignation amid wretched form in npower League
One left Philliskirk at the helm for a dramatic 2-2 draw against David
Moyes' men.
'My feeling is one of pride, first and foremost,' Philliskirk said.
'When we went 3-0 down it would have
been very easy for people to be thinking it was going to be four or five
but I thought we responded magnificently in the second half.
'Ironically, when they scored the third goal we were probably having our best spell in the game.
Valued: Baines' consistency has been one of Everton's greatest strengths this season
'It was disappointing to concede that third but the lads kept going, Matt's got another great goal and I thought we played some smashing stuff in the second half.
'You never know, if we'd got another one it would have been an interesting end to the game.'
Smith - a 23-year-old Manchester University business management graduate who Oldham plucked from non-league obscurity at Solihull Moors in summer 2011 - followed his brace during the 3-2 triumph over Liverpool with a second strike in as many matches against their city rivals.
Philliskirk, who has repeatedly ruled himself out of the running to become Dickov's permanent successor despite three wins from as many league games in charge, stood by his decision to name experienced frontman Chris Iwelumo from the start despite another telling contribution from Smith.
'Chris Iwelumo has been a leader in the dressing room,' he said.
'We are a very young team and he has been a voice on the pitch. I am not a ranter and raver.
'Chris has been an integral part of the turnaround in fortunes in the last three or four weeks.
Proud: Tony Philliskirk (right) was happy with his players' efforts
'It had crossed our mind but lately Matt has been a fantastic impact sub so we decided to go that way.
'Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I might get criticised for not starting the lad.'
Everton chalked up their first win of February at the fifth and final time of asking, but assistant manager Steve Round was quick to pay tribute to Oldham's efforts afterwards.
'It was a tough game,' he said. "I thought Oldham put a right shift in and pushed us all the way.
'They were a credit to the manager and to themselves. I thought they really acquitted themselves right and made it very tough.
'Having said that, I think we matched them for the attitude and then your quality comes through at the end.
'You saw that with one or two of the goals that we scored and unfortunately we missed a couple of chances to maybe make it a bit more clear-cut.'
Impressive: Steve Round was pleased with Kevin Mirallas after a stop-start season
Darron Gibson's magnificent 15th-minute cross allowed Mirallas to set Everton on their way and Round hailed two of his team's key performers on the night.
'I was very pleased with Kevin,' he added. 'To come back and show the sort of form he has, it will give him a lot of confidence.
'He has had a real stop-start season with injury and I think we saw signs of him getting back to being sharp and match-ready. His quality finish was what he is about.
'Darron Gibson controls the middle of the pitch for us and I thought his passing was excellent.'

Police seek bank robbery suspectMarch 22,2013
HARDWICK A Vermont police department said an arrest warrant has been issued for a Hardwick bank robbery suspect who is believed to be in Connecticut, where she is also suspected of a number of bank robberies.
Hardwick Police said the warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Susan Braig was issued Thursday. She has not been taken into custody.
Hardwick Police Chief Aaron Cochran says Braig is suspected of robbing the Union Bank, on Route 15 last Sept. 6.
Cochran said he was contacted by the Connecticut State Police in January. A subsequent investigation led to the issuing of the Vermont arrest warrant.
Cochran said Braig lived for a time in Winooski, but she now lives in Connecticut.

text: Wanting to sell @ $155k and it actually selling for that price are two very different things. A buyer will buy and pay based on supply & demand, what they deem its worth and the market value of similar properties in the neighborhood. I recommend that you locate a good realtor who can provide a synopsis and/or analysis of the neighborhood and provide to you decent information. Please keep in mind that it may not be a good idea to go with the realtor that tells you what you want to hear, but the one that tells you what you need to hear. Remember the important thing is getting your home sold. The same realtor should be able to provide you with a net sheet that will itemize the seller expenses and return.

How to fit ceiling lights
A standard single pendant light fitting near the centre of the ceiling can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. As long as you can get to the ceiling void from above without too much disruption, it's not complicated to move a light to wherever you really need it. Alternatively, you can boost your light levels by adding extra pendants which you operate either by the existing switch or by a new one. You'll find that pre-wired lampholder-plus-flex combinations are widely available.

The Godfather of Fine California Wine Is a Brother Named Timothy
A lot of people taste wine with their eyes. They look at the label and decide what they will find. It prejudices their taste." So saith the vice-president of Christian Brothers, the Napa Valley's largest winery, and he ought to know: Brother Timothy has been its cellar master and chief taster for 43 years.
How does a layman recognize a good wine without the label? "When you first taste it on the front part of your tongue you should think, 'Gee, this is pretty nice.' Then there is a good aftertaste, so you go back for more," sums up the 68-year-old brother. That, anyway, seems to be what happens with Christian Brothers. The vineyard annually sells three and a half million cases of wine and brandy—from a 90¢ split of rose to a sophisticated $5.75 Cabernet Sauvignon. (Sacramental wine accounts for less than 5 percent of the total gross.) The profits support the order's 13 schools on the West Coast.
The company's success is owed, in large part, to the skill of Brother Timothy. The American Society of Enologists' Man of the Year in 1977, he was teaching chemistry at St. Mary's High School in Berkeley when the winery recruited him in 1935. "I did everything the hard way," he recalls. "I learned from books, by tasting trial and error and by asking a lot of questions." Now the ruddy 6'2½" master vintner gives the final taste test to all 40 kinds of Christian Brothers blended wines (they are undated because grapes of different variety and vintage are used). He speaks poetically and partisanly about his products and their "balance. That is a real big word with us."
The large (12,000 strong) educational order got into the wine-making business by chance a century ago when it purchased some land in Martinez, Calif. that happened to include 12 acres of vineyards. So the grapes wouldn't die on the vine, the enterprising brothers made wine for their own use and then sold it locally. In 1930 they relocated to 450 acres of sunny hillside in the Napa Valley and now run the only winery there that has not changed hands since then. Of the 150 employees (150 migrants come in at harvest), only six are Christian Brothers.
Born Anthony George Diener in Elizabeth, N.J., Timothy and his six siblings had a strict Catholic upbringing, and it came as no surprise when he joined the order at 17. Less expected, however, was his ultimate calling. His father had an opportunity to buy a zinfandel vineyard but law-abidingly refused (it was during Prohibition) and became a haberdasher.
The cellar master's day starts at 6:10 in his simple room at the novitiate just up the road from the winery. After Mass and breakfast, Timothy dons his work clothes—casual pants and beige cardigan—and heads to the sampling lab. "Tasting wine is best done in the morning," he informs. "When you are physically tired, your palate—and your mind—get a little fuzzy." After lunch it's off to inspect the vineyards and test the soil. "We consider ourselves an active order," says Brother Tim. "I couldn't stand a contemplative life." In the evening he sits down to a dinner complemented by one of his own fine Cabernet Sauvignons or perhaps a Pinot Saint George. His favorite weekend recreation is adding to his international collection of 1,400 corkscrews.
In a religious order devoted to education, how does Brother Timothy justify his vocation? "Oh, gosh," he replies. "I can answer that a thousand different ways. Wine-making is an art form—it expresses something of yourself. And in the Scripture, the first miracle Christ performed was turning water into wine. If Christ made wine, I don't feel ashamed to be involved with it."

Maybe I'm just lousy at finding it, but there doesn't seem to be any real release notes of WordPress releases?
From what I can find on the WordPress blog or in the Codex there's just links to the list of closed tickets in Trac since last release. I understand that it is much more convenient that way than having to write real release notes, but from a project this large I think it ok to expect more. Just viewing the tickets or the complete changelog is nog the same thing as a well written release note that explains the changes.

I have had two hospital trips due to this "sick building", have had to carry an epi-pen, had an anaphylactic attic, and had to injected with steroids and benedryl due to me being contaminated by mold. I have had to sleep in my car while paying rent due to me becoming sick in the apartment and all of this was brought to the attention of management with supporting documents. I even purchased a do it yourself mold kit from Home Depot and took it to the office to show them the various mold spores in the dishes. Yet, they just ignored it. Finally, when I decided to have my own inspections, management asked me not to but to allow them to do an inspection and they would get back with me. I had already vacated the building and only had the furniture I could not take with me, a couch, chair and mattress due to infestation. After they inspected the unit and saw that I had left, to my surprise, they stopped responding. See below.
I have contacted corporate and Mr. Woodard only to again be ignored.
Please help! Again, all I have ever wanted was to be made whole, nothing more or less. I pray they honor their written agreement.
Thank you,
Victim of Mold and now Breach Agreement

To: Good Morning Ms XXXXXX:I am back in the office today from being out on PTO. I have not had the opportunity to talk with Misha this morning to get all the details regarding your complaints. As mentioned in your email, you have begun packing and are moving out. I will make sure to put a note in your file explaining that no cancellation/notice fees are to be charged to you.

Subject: 3rd requestHi Belinda,
Thank you for acknowledging my previous email regarding my mold issues in my apartment. As we discussed, I will be out of that apartment soon. However, although you contacted me acknowledging my complaint and advised me you were out on PTO, the issue regarding replacing my furniture has not been addressed. Because I have not heard from you regarding replacing my furniture, leaves me no choice but to have my apartment inspected by a licensed mold inspector. This test will cost me $600. I will also contact the EPA and other health regulatory agencies to have them come inspect my apartment, as each time I go over there just to gather some of my belongings, I get sick, literally.
I am not sure you are aware that it rained in my apartment again in the same area you had them replace twice since the work you had done. Your maintenance crew came in and saw where the water damage was and only drilled holes in the wall but never came to dry it out or replace the wet Sheetrock or carpet which caused re infestation. So, when you turn on the heat or air I think the mold spores multiple quickly. It affects the air quality and my breathing. It causes me to be extremely lethargic and head achy. I have asked your staff several times if the air ducts were cleaned out because of this problem each time I turn on the unit. Yet, they think I am just a complainer instead of investigating my claim.
In any event, I am not sure you all truly understand the hazards of mold and the damages it causes but it is serious. It can not be cleaned out of cloth material and thus, furniture must be properly disposed.
Once my complaints are validated which I am 100% confident they will, I will contact an attorney who specializes in mold and pursue a law suit.
I have tried to work with you all and just wanted to be made whole but you all seem to refuse to acknowledge my request. Again, when you look at my furniture you will see it is in excellent condition and I would have no reason to replace it except for the mold contamination. I will have a mold inspection this week and I will forward the bill to you all as well as the results,.
Once all testing is completed, I will be completely out of that apartment. I will leave the items I can not take there in the apartment for disposal.
Again, to avoid a lengthy costly lawsuit, you all can agree to replace my furniture and once I'm gone, this will be over. However, if you refuse to acknowledge or cooperate it leaves me no choice but do what I must to make me whole.
A reply would be appreciated.
This is my third request.

Hello XXXXXX:
Before you authorize any inspections, please allow me to assess the damage and speak with you regarding the issue in your apartment.

Hypertension… As a medical student, I never really understood the fuss over it. Practicioners had an excellent and concise guide in the JNC-7 to handle all of the major aspects of this disease.

A haunting and hallucinatory drama about the making of art, Inventing Van Gogh is the story of the final van Gogh self-portrait, painted just before the artist's death, which has never been seen � until now. Patrick Stone, a contemporary painter, is hired to forge this final masterpiece - and finds himself squaring off, across the years, with van Gogh himself. The result is a compelling mystery about the obsession to create and the fine line that separates truth from myth.

When two 11-year-old boys have a playground fight, their parents come together for cocktails, hoping to discuss the situation civilly - to "practice the art of co-existence" rather than "slaughter each other with insurance claims." But the veneer of polite society quickly falls away, and the evening deteriorates into a laugh-out-loud train wreck of finger-pointing, tantrums, and tears. And that's before they break out the rum. The hilarious God of Carnage is the ultimate comedy of manners without manners!
