Lessons learned from Groklaw: The power of collaboration | Opensource.com
Lessons learned from Groklaw: The power of collaboration
Like many, I was surprised-but-not-really when Pamela Jones announced that she would be retiring original content on the legal analysis site that grew to fame within and without the open source community as it rose to do battle with the incredibly audacious claims by The SCO Group that Linux was directly derived from UNIX.
For eight years, Groklaw was the center of the fight between Linux companies and interests and SCO's efforts to build a licensing business on the back of open source. While Novell was legally the victor in the year-long legal fight by raising its hand and reminding everyone--including SCO, it seemed--that it was they, not SCO, who actually owned the UNIX copyrights.
Yeah, that was awkward. (But pretty funny.)
The not-really-surprised part comes from the fact that Jones herself hinted on Christmas Day that she was contemplating a change for her status on Groklaw. At the time, Jones seemed disillusioned that after all of the hard work performed on Groklaw by her and the über-dedicated group of volunteers, "Novell taking money from Microsoft and contractually agreeing to show up at Open XML standards meetings and events."
At the time, I pondered that Jones should seriously reevaluate the roles she and her team of Groklaw volunteers have within the free and open source community. I did not want such a reevaluation to end with the closure of the Groklaw web site, but it seems Jones has her own ideas.
Over the years, the role of Groklaw slowly shifted from an outright anti-SCO blog to (as its readership grew) a centralized documentation repository for other ongoing lawsuits in and around the FLOSS community, complete with editorial commentary. The overarching goal of the site seems to have been relatively static: defend the FLOSS community against misinformation based on legal attacks.
To me, that's an important distinction. Groklaw did not directly stop the SCO lawsuits; that was done by the lawyers, judges, and juries in the respective cases. The important thing Groklaw did was put the breaks on business practices that could have been more immediately injurious to Linux, such as SCOsource, the IP protection scheme SCO started to generate more revenue from its alleged UNIX licenses and the alleged infringement of those licenses by Linux users.
Groklaw's deconstruction of the lawsuit and all of the related IP issues was enough to make potential SCOsource customers pause and have a "hey, what does God need with a starship?" moment. In that crucial moment, they would realize that perhaps waiting to see how the lawsuits turned out would be a better idea... and not buy a SCOsource license to use Linux. That was enough to stop any momentum of SCOsource revenue, and ultimately would make it a lot harder for SCO to fund its case.
In a world without Groklaw, would Novell, IBM, and Red Hat defeated SCO? Based on pure facts, yes. It's likely that SCO would have been defeated anyway. But a better-funded alternate-universe SCO would have made that legal battle even more arduous and convoluted than the one in our own universe. And certainly the commercial success Linux has enjoyed in the last decade would have been far more muted.
For Jones, Groklaw's mission (stopping SCO from hurting Linux) basically succeeded. So now she is closing up shop. I would have preferred that Groklaw become a more community-run site, but this is not my decision to make. Nor the readers of Groklaw. The site, really, is purely Jones' and she should do what she needs to move on.
I find myself bemused about my own reaction to Groklaw's departure. I cannot speak for others in my trade, but I will state for the record now that when Jones and Groklaw first grew to prominence, I was resentful. Who was this paralegal coming out of nowhere, reporting all this SCO news like it was just her business? How did a blog become part of the story?
I think that beyond the battle with SCO, Jones reminded me of a very valuable lesson, one that I had forgotten all wrapped up in my formal journalist guise, with all of the ego and pretensions that can come with any profession. The lesson was this: truth is truth, and it deserves to be shared. Journalists like me used to cringe at bloggers like Jones, resenting their intrusion on what was deemed our job and our job alone. But over the years I came to respect the fact that no one has an exclusive on what needs to be said. I was being a hypocrite.
Good writing is good writing. Good research is good research. And like my very first boss told me when he hired me 21 years ago to run a small-town Indiana newspaper: good reporters don't have to come with a journalism degree.
That was the lesson I (who has no journalism degree) had forgotten. Groklaw didn't set out to remind me and others like me of the power of the written word. Of the strength of collaboration. But along the way, that's exactly what the site and its creator did.
More than anything, Groklaw represents what open source collaboration can achieve.

For the sake of balance I recommend the following three articles: iTWire: Groklaw: the good, the bad, the ugly (the link leads to page 2, which raises the issue of Groklaw's funding, given that it was clearly a full-time effort); Bruce Byfield's Groklaw eulogy, which points out one of Groklaw's fundamental flaws (a lack of understanding of business realities) and concludes that it's time for Groklaw to call it quits; and this ZDNet article on Groklaw's censorship of polite, on-topic user comments.
For the sake of balance I repeat my comment to Florian Mueller related to Brude Byfield's Grokla eulogy:
""@Florian Mueller:
Frankly, I don't care whether PJ is Pamela or 100 different persons. Groklaw credibility is and always has been pretty darn sound. Groklaw articles are rich wrt references - and I invite you to present where Groklaw gets its facts and references wrong causing Groklaw embarrasment.
To be even more frank:
The Google/Oracle GPL spectacle duly put in order by Mr. Torvalds, Mr. Moglen and Mr. Stallman hardly boosted your own credibility. Attacking Groklaw does not exactly rescue you from your Huffington episode.
Your insinuations against Groklaw seems to be more problematic for your reputation than Groklaw's. Is it relevant to put the sticker clandestine somewhere? You seem to be the messenger - so why not reveal whose interests YOU represent?""
I would further like Florian Mueller to disclose his relations triggering off the TurboHercule spectacle.
It's all about regaining credibility. Isn't it?
This here is about Groklaw, not about me. I'd like to stay on topic, and since all I know about you is that you call yourself "Jack", I've already been more forthcoming about myself than you are.
If you want an example of completely inaccurate Groklaw propaganda, look at this Groklaw article on IBM's patent threats against TurboHercules. Then click on the link that says "when it announced the patent pledge". It points to a statement in August 2004. But you can easily google IBM's open source patent pledge: it was made in January 2005. This means the first (and central) claim made by Groklaw in that article is wrong. IBM did not limit the scope of the pledge in any way, and certainly not with a statement that was made about five months earlier. Groklaw users pointed out that this was wrong, but the avatar named PJ refused to correct this. This is the behavior of a propagandist, not of an open source activist, not of an unbiased journalist.
This is about Florian Mueller putting a lot of effort in to discrediting Groklaw/PJ over a long period of time.
My question is:
On behalf of who? Who pays Florian Mueller to do that?
@Jack, I assure you that no one ever paid me and no one is paying me (and no one will ever pay me during the few weeks Groklaw has left) for criticizing Groklaw. Groklaw tried on multiple occasions to smear me (the first time back in 2006), so I don't need to be paid -- I simply defend myself and I try to raise the level of awareness for some rather obvious issues concerning Groklaw.
Both of y'all should register with the site to be /completely/ transparent. I'm just saying :)

Barbara Walters has announced what will be her final day on daily television before she begins her retirement.
Walters's last day co-hosting the show she created, The View, will be May 16, ABC News reports.
"This was the right time," Walters, 84, told AARP Magazine. "The kinds of interviews I did all these years, nobody wants them anymore. You have three minutes of a morning show. That's different from before."
A two-hour special on her groundbreaking career will air that same night, from 9-11 p.m. ET.
Joining the network in 1976 as the first female news anchor was not easy.
"When I became the first woman co-anchor of a network news program, I was vilified. That did hurt me," she tells AARP". "I thought my career was over. No one wanted a woman, and they certainly didn't seem to want me, and I had a co-host [Harry Reasoner] who really didn't want me. What saved me was that Roone Arledge, who was president of ABC News, felt I had value."
Walters will continue to executive produce The View and will contribute to ABC News "as news warrants," the network said.
As for what comes next, Walters says she will enjoy her new free time.
"Maybe go to a movie or a museum, maybe sleep until 9, maybe see a friend," she said. "I look forward to not having every day planned, or having to be at a certain place at a certain time."

Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz had a scare Monday when a burglar broke into his Delaware Avenue home while he was sleeping.
Poloncarz said he was awakened at about 5:30 a.m. by the noise of the burglar pushing out a screen and climbing through an open downstairs window. He said he immediately called police and yelled at the burglar, who fled with a baseball bat belonging to Poloncarz. The county executive said he ventured downstairs but never saw the thief, adding that the intruder tried to access the house through two other windows.
Avello A. Pena, 22, of Buffalo, was arrested a short time later by police responding to the 911 call. Officers said they noticed Pena running with a bat.
When they stopped him, Pena said he was going to meet friends at Front Park. But police doubted his explanation for being out so early with a baseball bat and charged him with burglary.
Poloncarz, who testified Wednesday before a grand jury, said police told him that Pena had been drinking. The window Pena allegedly entered is 8 feet off the ground, and a recycling tote was used to reach it, Poloncarz said.

Tuesday, April 8, 2014
At times the line stretched out the door of the municipal court that served as the polling place on Tuesday, April 8 for the Goose Creek mayoral and city council election.
The steady drizzle made several voters walk up under umbrellas and hats.
Goose Creek Mayor Michael Heitzler greeted voters often while standing in the rain as his opponent Councilman Jerry Tekac and the five council candidates stood under a breezeway to shake voters hands and introduce themselves.
The council candidates are incumbents Kimo Esarey and Mark Phillips along with Debra Green-Fletcher, Victoria Morrell and Gerald Stinson. There are three seats open for city council. The three candidates with the most votes should be elected, although a runoff is possible for the third and fourth place candidates.
Heitzler, Esarey, Phillips and Green-Fletcher wore matching green polo t-shirts. They campaigned together and are running as "team green."
Polls are open from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. The municipal court is located near city hall and the police department at the Marguerite H. Brown Municipal Center, 519 N. Goose Creek Blvd., Goose Creek.

After reading Larry's column in this weeks paper, I have to say he hit the nail on the head.
Five years ago when I started hunting in the Hwy. O area I would see deer every day. Driving back and forth to work and in the evenings I always had to watch for deer. Now If I see one deer all season long it is cause for celebration. We have Wolves, coyotes, Bears, Bobcats, Turkeys and god only knows what else running around the area but you have to look long and hard to find a deer.
In their infinite wisdom the dnr had taken area 32 and made it a herd control area this year. I am not sure what they are trying to control. I haven't had to stop for a deer on the road in months I have been in my deer stand everyday this season and have seen one nubbin buck. I did find the remains of two wolf killed deer only about two hundred yards in back of my house. I know they were wolves because after they finished eating they had to make room for more and left several deposits that were full of deer hair. I know of seven bear that I have seen in and around my yard this year and a neighbor saw a sow and two cubs. And I wonder where the deer went. I am not sure what the dnr biologists are taking to make them see all these animals that don't exist, but can I borrow some so I can see a few of them this season.
I know one thing for sure, the day that they make this a "Earn a Buck" is the day I quit buying a license.

Stories: All-New Tales (Hardcover)
"The joy of fiction is the joy of the imagination. . . ."
The best stories pull readers in and keep them turning the pages, eager to discover moreto find the answer to the question: "And then what happened?" The true hallmark of great literature is great imagination, and as Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio prove with this outstanding collection, when it comes to great fiction, all genres are equal.
Stories is a groundbreaking anthology that reinvigorates, expands, and redefines the limits of imaginative fiction and affords some of the best writers in the worldfrom Peter Straub and Chuck Palahniuk to Roddy Doyle and Diana Wynne Jones, Stewart O'Nan and Joyce Carol Oates to Walter Mosley and Jodi Picoultthe opportunity to work together, defend their craft, and realign misconceptions. Gaiman, a literary magician whose acclaimed work defies easy categorization and transcends all boundaries, and "master anthologist" (Booklist) Sarrantonio personally invited, read, and selected all the stories in this collection, and their standard for this "new literature of the imagination" is high. "We wanted to read stories that used a lightning-flash of magic as a way of showing us something we have already seen a thousand times as if we have never seen it at all."
Joe Hill boldly aligns theme and form in his disturbing tale of a man's descent into evil in "Devil on the Staircase." In "Catch and Release," Lawrence Block tells of a seasoned fisherman with a talent for catching a bite of another sort. Carolyn Parkhurst adds a dark twist to sibling rivalry in "Unwell." Joanne Harris weaves a tale of ancient gods in modern New York in "Wildfire in Manhattan." Vengeance is the heart of Richard Adams's "The Knife." Jeffery Deaver introduces a dedicated psychologist whose mission in life is to save people in "The Therapist." A chilling punishment befitting an unspeakable crime is at the dark heart of Neil Gaiman's novelette "The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains."
As it transforms your view of the world, this brilliant and visionary volumesure to become a classicwill ignite a new appreciation for the limitless realm of exceptional fiction.
Praise For…
"Stories is the perfect dark counterbalance to the smells of suntan lotion and barbecue smoke waiting for you this summer."
-Los Angeles Times
"These stories are part of what Gaiman and Sarrantonio call "a new literature of the imagination," a rewardingly imprecise theme that guarantees that no matter how many times you dip into this tomish treasure chest, there will always be something surprising waiting for you inside."
-www.veryshortlist.com on STORIES
"If you can't find something to like from [Stories] roster, you really need a vacation."
-St. Petersburg Times
"A sometimes creepy, dark and dreamlike two thumbs up."
-Time Out New York
"An ambitious anthology with a pleasing mix of modes and moods. Stories has a little something for everyone who appreciates the possibilities of short fiction."
-San Francisco Chronicle

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
April 8, 2013
Saint Vincent College will begin offering a master's degree program in counselor education in the fall, according to an announcement by Dr. John Smetanka, vice president for academic affairs and academic dean. The new master of science in counselor education program will certify students as professional counselors in Pennsylvania schools from pre-kindergarten to grade 6 and from grade 7 to 12. "Students will receive instruction in both school policies as well as clinical counseling for children and young adults," Smetanka noted. "The 39-credit program is contemporary in design in that it will address current trends, theory and include extensive competency-based field work that will prepare candidates for the 21st century. Candidates graduating from this program will be prepared to take the Praxis II Professional School Counselor Examination." The program has been submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education for its approval to grant state certification. Saint Vincent created the program in response to reports by the U.S. Department of Labor that school counselor positions are likely to grow at a rate of 19 percent from 2010 to 2020. "The report references a steady increase in the number of students attending school as the reason for this continued increase in demand. The same report points to a greater than average increase in the need for community-based counselors. School counselors are equally qualified as general mental health counselors to work in community agencies and provide services to clients." "Saint Vincent College has a long-standing reputation as a premier liberal arts institution," Smetanka concluded. "The multidisciplinary focus of this school counseling degree creates a program uniquely designed around this reputation. And the lack of any counselor education program in Westmoreland County provides an opportunity for Saint Vincent to establish itself as a primary program." The new Saint Vincent program was developed by Dr. Veronica I. Ent, associate professor and chair of the education department at Saint Vincent, Dr. Mary Beth Spore, dean of the Saint Vincent School of Social Sciences, Communication and Education, Stephen Kuniak and members of the education department faculty. Further information about the program and fall course offerings are available by contacting the Office of Graduate and Continuing Education, 724-805-2933 or www.stvincent.edu/graduateprograms.

SYCAMORE - During a timeout in the fourth quarter of Mohawk's game against Calvert, the gym's loudspeakers blared the Bee Gees' hit "Stayin' Alive." The song was appropriate on several levels.
Mohawk was trying to stay alive in the race for a Midland Athletic League title.
Mohawk was trying to keep a late lead alive against Calvert.

Mohawk was also trying to keep its season alive, searching for someone to step up with one of the Warriors' best players in street clothes with a knee injury.
In all of the above scenarios, Mohawk was able to stay alive.
In posting a 44-35 victory over Calvert, Mohawk moved into a tie with the Senecas for third place in the MAL at 6-2, one game behind front-runners New Riegel and Carey.
Fact Box
Mohawk 44, Calvert 35
Calvert (13-6, 6-2): Taylor Ritzler 0-0-0; Danielle Kontak 0-0-0; Marisa Horn 0-0-0; Samantha Beckley 2-0-4; Kate Brickner 4-0-10; Margaret Bowers 0-2-2; Alanna Widman 0-0-0; Megan Funkhouser 2-0-6; Olivia Smith 4-2-10; Nicole Bickley 0-3-3. Totals: 12-7-35.

Calvert108611 - 35
Mohawk1071314 - 44
Field goals: Calvert 12-48; Mohawk 14-37
3-point goals: Calvert 4-9 (Funkhouser 2, Brickner 2); Mohawk 6-13 (S. Runion 2, J. Adelsperger 2, A. Parker 2)
Foul shots: Calvert 7-14; Mohawk 10-17
Rebounds: Calvert 38 (Bickley 10, Smith 8); Mohawk 29 (Parker 8, Trusty 7)
Turnovers: Calvert 18; Mohawk 16
While the Warriors (14-5) are adjusting to life without a 12-point, 5-rebound per game performer in Kasey Adelsperger, they got a lift Friday from Sarah Runion, who led them with 13 points, and was instrumental in several plays down the stretch to secure the win.
Runion credited the Mohawk fans for giving her a lift.
"The atmosphere's great," she said. "We're in our house. We're undefeated here so that gives me some momentum."
The teams stayed close throughout. They were tied at 10 after one quarter and Calvert had an 18-17 lead at halftime. Mohawk started to pick up some separation toward the end of the third with an 8-0 run, punctuated by a Runion 3-pointer to put the lead at six, matching the biggest of the night.
"It teeter-tottered back and fourth," Mohawk coach Josh Fortney said. "I think in the beginning of the fourth quarter, we got a little bit of a lead on them and we were able to hold them off, I'll say. We had some kids step up and take care of free throws and knock those down and take care of the ball."
After entering the fourth quarter with a 30-24 lead, Mohawk saw its advantage cut down to two just over a minute into the period after Calvert's Olivia Smith came up with back-to-back steals, turning each into layups.
With 6:56 to play, Mohawk was clinging to a 30-28 lead.
Calvert (13-6) didn't score again until 1:08 was left to play. Meanwhile, Runion took over.
The Mohawk senior stopped the Calvert momentum with a 3-pointer, then followed that up with a driving layup for a seven-point lead, at the time the biggest advantage of the night.
"She knocked down a 3 and that was big," Fortney said. "We actually were kind of trying to pull the ball out and run some of the clock. They cheated up on us so we got a layup off of that. I think that five point swing ... that gave us the space we needed, the breathing room."
Not only did Runion step up offensively, she stepped on the defensive end as well. Runion came up with a steal then dished as assist to Julie Adelsperger, bringing the lead to 11, 39-28, with two minutes to play.
"We've been practicing all week for that," Runion said regarding defense. "We go against the JV full court, man-to-man so that really helps."
Calvert got a basket from Samantha Beckley and a pair from Kate Brickner to close within five, but after splitting a pair of foul shots, Runion came up with another steal to keep the Senecas from getting any closer.
For Calvert coach Tim Ritzler, he saw his team excel in several phases of the game, except one key area.
"I thought we did everything we needed to do to win the game tonight except to finish and make shots. I don't know what our shooting percentage was but it wasn't good," he said. "I thought defensively we did a pretty good job of staying on their shooters. We let Runion get open a couple times and she knocked some shots down. But we didn't really let them get in a rhythm offensively, until we had to start fouling.
"I don't know what the rebounding stats were, but I felt that we rebounded even with them. We were right there with them. We got (Sarah) Parker in foul trouble in the first half. (Lynsey) Trusty picked up two fouls. We executed our game plan except for just making shots."
Calvert had a 38-29 rebounding edge in the game, most of that built off a first half where Mohawk's Parker missed significant time, including the entire second quarter, with foul trouble. However, cold shooting proved to be the Senecas' downfall. Calvert shot 25 percent (12 for 48).
"We wanted to get to the hoop," Ritzler said. "She does a good job protecting the rim for them with her height inside. So when she went out, whether it was by dribble penetration or throwing it into the post players, we wanted to get shots in the paint cause she wasn't there to protect the hoop. We got those shots we just didn't make them."
Fortney credited his team for its stingy defense, despite several starters playing with foul trouble.
"To be able to tell my girls to go out and play defense and be aggressive, when they're sitting on three and four fouls, I'm pretty proud of the way they came out an played," he said. "If we can do that down the road, that will be awesome."
Runion's 13 points were backed up by Julie Adelsperger's 11. Parker finished with eight points and eight rebounds, after being held scoreless with only one rebound in the first half.
Smith and Brickner each scored 10 to lead Calvert.

New charges filed against Roger Malloy, 2 others in deadly crash in Pottstown
New charges have been filed against three people in connection with a deadly crash, including the man accused of fleeing the scene.
Roger Malloy has been charged with two counts of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, officials announced Monday.
Malloy, police said, was speeding and on synthetic marijuana when he crashed a car in the 500 block of State Street in Pottstown, Montgomery Co., on May 21.
Two passengers -- James Crawford and Rachel Witt -- died of their injuries.
Authorities have also arrested Rafie Ali and Mohammed Himed of the Achi Store. The store is where police said Malloy bought the synthetic drugs.

In This Issue
All KHCPL locations will be closed and the bookmobiles will not run on …
Sept. 2 ~ Labor Day
Thanks to all of you who visited our booth at the Howard County 4-H Fair. We learned all kinds of things about why people use the library — or why they don't — while they entered our drawing. We were giving away a shiny, new Kindle HD, which some people thought was strange. Every time that topic came up, it gave us a chance to explain that the library checks out e-books. We also told a whole lot of people about Freegal, our free (and legal!) downloadable music resource.
If you didn't see us at the fair, there's always next year. In the meantime, when you visit feel free to tell us what is working and ways in which we can improve. On our end, we'll do our best to keep you informed about the new things we have up our collective sleeve.

Find recipes for healthy snacks kids and adults alike will enjoy, and ask nutritional expert Linda Echelbarger from Purdue Extension how to make your favorite snacks healthier during First Fridays at the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library on Aug. 2! Sample some tasty treats from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at KHCPL Main, 220 N. Union St. Kids are in for a treat making a picnic basket craft in the Children's Services Department. The whole family can snack on some popcorn while watching a David the Gnome cartoon. Talk to us about coming with KHCPL and the Greentown Public Library on a trip to New Orleans. And you'll find books, DVDs, magazines, and other resources about healthy eating on display that you can check out while you're here.
The Kokomo-Howard County Public Library and Greentown Public Library have announced that they are teaming up to plan a trip to New Orleans for Oct. 12-18. And the libraries are making the trip to The Big Easy super easy and big on fun.
"Patrons enjoyed the trip to Savannah, Ga., the setting for the Howard County Reads book Saving CeeCee Honeycutt so much last year, they asked the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library and Greentown Public Library to sponsor another tour," said Trisha Shively, head of the Adult and Teen Department at KHCPL. "This year's Howard County Reads book, Out of the Easy, takes place in New Orleans, so we chose to go there this year."
The trip begins on Oct. 12, when participants set off from KHCPL South, 1755 E. Center Rd., on a comfortable coach bus. There will be a stop for lunch and then a provided dinner at the Drury Inn hotel in Birmingham, Ala.
Oct. 13 begins with a provided breakfast at the hotel, lunch en route to New Orleans, and the arrival in The Big Easy in the early evening, when you'll have a chance to choose from one of the city's many fine restaurants for dinner.
On Oct. 14, after a provided breakfast at the hotel, there will be a guided tour of New Orleans. You'll have a chance to explore the city, thanks to a hop-on/hop-off pass. Lunch and dinner are on your own.
Oct. 15 also begins with a provided breakfast at the hotel. Then you will have the entire day to tour The Big Easy and use your hop-on/hop-off pass. Check out the famed French Quarter with its galleries, museums, and shopping. You may also want to take this time to visit the Garden District. You're on your own for lunch, and then we'll get together for a New Orleans at Night Dinner and Jazz Cruise.
After a provided breakfast at the hotel on Oct. 16, we'll tour the Oak Alley Plantation, where a Cajun buffet lunch will be provided. You'll get another opportunity to enjoy the cuisine of New Orleans when you have dinner on your own.
We'll say goodbye to New Orleans after a provided breakfast at the hotel on Oct. 17. We'll stop for lunch along the way. We'll stay the night in Nashville, Tenn., where dinner is included at the hotel.
After a provided breakfast on Oct. 18, we'll head toward Kokomo, stopping for lunch along the way. We'll arrive in Kokomo in the late afternoon/early evening.
The cost per person is $900 and includes transportation, hotel accommodations, a guided tour of the city, a dinner and jazz cruise, a plantation tour and lunch, breakfasts each morning at the hotels, and dinner at the hotels on the way to and from New Orleans. Optional tour opportunities will be available at additional costs. More information on the trip will be forthcoming. A deposit of $450 is due by Aug. 23, and the balance of $450 is due by Sept. 6.
You can sign up and pay at any KHCPL location or the Greentown Public Library.
For more information, call Trisha Shively at KHCPL at 457.3242 or Renda Hurst at the Greentown Public Library at 628.3534.
It's vacation time, and Jerome the Gnome is a real jet-setter. Check out these photos of him with patrons along the Blue Danube in Austria and with the Kokomo-Center Schools' delegation to Costa Rica!
Keep snapping photos and posting them on our Facebook page. The various gnome contests end on July 27, and we have some great grand prizes to give away, like two Kindle Fire HDs with 32GB each, an overnight stay in St. Louis, Mo., with FREE tickets to local attractions there, and more!

Your Library Is the Coolest Place to Be This Summer
KHCPL has been out and about a lot the past few weeks. Our library cart drill team marched in the Haynes-Apperson Parade and won the trophy for the Best Parade Entry. We set up a booth at the Howard County 4-H Fair, where people could sign up to win a Kindle Fire. We had a quackin' good time at Samaritan Caregivers' Ducky Derby, where kids enjoyed our eye-spy gnome village box. And our Gnome Marks the Spot Find the Hidden Treasures at KHCPL entry won the Samaritan Caregivers' Papa Duck Decorating Contest in the "Best Reflects Theme of Business" category! At KHCPL, people of all ages are still enjoying the Summer Reading Club, and enjoying our community partnerships. For example, Angie Meyers showed patrons how to make art from clay, and Paris Horner of Eden's Way demonstrated how to create miniature container gardens. Library-goers have enjoyed checking out the Spirit of Competition exhibit, especially seeing how fast they can go on the bicycle. No matter what your age, KHCPL has a program for YOU. Stop missing out. Come to KHCPL today!

Dave Smith thinks about the possibilities all the time, mainly because they're nearly impossible to ignore. Look out the window and check the radar. We only wished it was freezing in Buffalo, where temperatures were in the 20s Thursday with a thin layer of snow blanketing the region on the first full day of spring.
You can thank our natural resources for making this a terrific hockey town, but the sport still hasn't reached its full potential in Western New York. Smith envisions a day in which college hockey takes hold in our community the way it has in other places, such as Boston, Michigan and Minnesota.
Buffalo fans are so hung up on the Sabres that many fail to recognize the anticipation that comes with Division I hockey. Canisius and Niagara play this afternoon in the Atlantic Hockey Association semifinals in Blue Cross Arena in Rochester. The game should generate more drama and excitement than any Sabres game this season.
And the price is right, too.
"I want to look at the big picture," said Smith, who has coached at Canisius for eight seasons. "Our games are being played at such a high level. We need to make the people outside the hockey community more aware so it's an event. It's not just the hockey game, and it's not just Canisius and Niagara. It's the thing to do."
Nothing accelerates the process more for Canisius and Niagara than meeting for a high-stakes game like the one today. The two schools, separated by 22 miles, are playing for the fourth time this season. The winner advances to the conference championship with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line.
Atlantic Hockey isn't a power conference like Hockey East, and this isn't North Carolina-Duke in hoops. But in the big picture, the matchup will nurture a rivalry that has grown more intense with every season. They're starting to despise one another when it comes to sports the way Canisius and Niagara have for years.
Niagara is ranked 15th in the nation — two spots ahead of Boston University, five spots ahead of Michigan and miles ahead of Michigan State — in the latest poll conducted by U.S. College Hockey Online. The Purple Eagles had a 2-1 edge in games during the regular season but outscored the Golden Griffins by only one goal in the three meetings.
"In the playoffs, you're playing for a national bid," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said. "Now, when you look across the rink and the other bench has 'Canisius College' on it, it just adds to it. It's as big of a game as we've had in years. I don't want to use the 'H' word. ... It's well on its way, at least from the Niagara office. I'll leave it at that."
The Purple Eagles would likely receive an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament if they lost in the conference tournament. Both teams would likely advance to the NCAAs if Canisius won this afternoon and again Saturday. If that happened, they would probably land in opposite brackets with the potential to meet in the Frozen Four.
Can you imagine?
It's unlikely but possible when you consider RIT reached the Frozen Four in its fifth season in Division I. Canisius and Niagara are very good defensively, which makes them dangerous in a single-elimination format. Both can play with any team in the country on a given night. Plus, upsets are more frequent in hockey than most other sports.
While there's no public animosity between the two schools, their mutual genuine disdain simmered just beneath the surface Thursday. It's like any other rivalry in sports. The two don't like one another and would enjoy nothing more than ruining the other's weekend with a win in the conference tournament.
"On our campus, there are signs that say, 'Beat Niagara,' " Smith said. "My personality, I'm not going to create that animosity for poster material. But the two schools are as an intense of a rivalry as BU-BC or RPI-Union or Clarkson-St. Lawrence. The passion is there. I don't believe there's been a vehicle to carry that passion publicly."
Until today.
For years, Canisius has had an inferiority complex about Niagara. Canisius played in a weaker conference that allowed fewer scholarships. The Griffs still don't have an on-campus rink. They're reduced to playing home games at SUNY-Buffalo State, which has forced them to battle through the appearance of having a small-time operation.
Niagara had 18 scholarships and played on campus at Dwyer Arena when its conference folded three years ago. Rather than play an independent schedule with the idea it would eventually join a bigger conference, it downsized the program with six fewer scholarships and humbly joined Canisius in Atlantic Hockey.
Canisius can brag about having the best player to come out of the two schools. Tampa Bay's Cory Conacher is leading NHL rookies in scoring with eight goals and 22 points just two years after a four-year career at Canisius. Niagara has never produced a player who made an impact in the NHL.
Smith and Burkholder described their relationship as "cordial" Thursday. They agree on that much, but they're not meeting for Happy Hour any time soon. They have kept a safe distance from one another for years while their teams attempted to beat the daylights out of each other. In truth, if they grow, they need each other.
"This is an elite level of sport, and it happens to be hockey in a hockey community," Smith said. "There will be a tipping point, meaning fans and non-fans will start to identify that NHL prospects are playing here. The level of play is extremely high. They will start coming out. What's the tipping point? Is it a semifinal game in Rochester?"
If nothing else, today's game will add another layer to their history. It's what they need to build the college game in the region. Pardon me for fantasizing about a future that would include a tournament in Buffalo similar to the Beanpot, which has been a marquee event in Boston for the past 61 years.
Canisius and Niagara are exponentially closer to winning an NCAA hockey title than any local college basketball or football team has been in the past 40 years. Our region needs to get with the times, starting with UB adding a Division I program and joining a conference that would include Canisius, Niagara, RIT and Mercyhurst, among others.
Terry Pegula's plans for the Webster Block, which includes an 1,800-seat jewel Canisius will call home, can only help change the culture. Perhaps someday the demand for tickets will exceed the seating capacity in his new facility. Smith isn't the only coach in town who has looked around and imagined the possibilities.
"It's why Niagara started hockey," Burkholder said. "Canisius had a program for a long, long time. I aspire to play in First Niagara Center. That's what motivates us to go to work every day, trying to get this program in the national spotlight."
First, check the local radar.

Oops, something didn't work.
Do you have a link where we can download the Mockups that Janete used in the demonstartions?
p.s. Can you please get get Janete to use her mouse with her left hand? The camera never really got a good shot of it!
Where can we get the image for the phone chrome? Also, I heard there was going to be an out-of-band release for SketchFlow WP7 project templates ( e.g. Pano, Pivot, etc. ). Add my vote to hurry this release up. Is there a date for when these will be released? Hopefully PDC2010???
@codputer. I'm not sure the name of DLLs, but if you open the Mockup project in the Welcome Screen > Samples tab... you can find the DLLs in the References and then add those to your own SketchFlow project. After that, they should show up in the Assets tab.
Thanks again and good video.
Once again Janete is on mark. Great content! (He cried more, more more!).
@Codputer: Here's a link that cover how to add the Mockup controls to your Expression Blend 4 project: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/expression/archive/2010/05/13/how-to-add-mockup-controls-to-your-expression-blend-library.aspx
@shaggygi: Currently we don't have a set date for an out-of-band release for SketchFlow WP7 project template. Thanks for the feedback though! Here's a link to my blog where I provide the project solution and the chrome image: http://blog.sunnypixels.com/?p=344
Cheers :)Janete
@codputer:i need help
I have a very poor video quality and I see nothing either in windowed or full screenI have a very very huge high end system with a very very big bandwitdh but still don't see what the girl is showing clear enough

Marc - The video we stream is the middle quality video. We also provide a high res version that you can download offline. Go to the upper right of the page and save the high quality WMV version and you should be good
Great content. The images you used for mocking people are great. How can one get a hold of that list of peeps for use in mock ups?
You can get the project solution zip file from her link here.
Once unzipped, you can find the images in the following folder.
Strange question maybe but where can we buy the shirt Janete is wearing?
Great post though. Like it!
The images you used for mocking people are great.

During their brief time as the talentless faces of what has since become the biggest joke act in music history, Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus had three No. 1 singles in the U.S. (Fun fact: "Girl You Know It's True" is not one of them.) In total, they had five singles breach the top 10 before the most egregious lip-syncing scandal ever brought the Milli Vanilli juggernaut to a screeching halt.
So let's get one obvious question out of the way immediately: Why in the fuck are they on the cover of this greatest hits album?
Or this one?
It was established decades ago that their voices are not on any of the songs that would actually compel a person to fall for this scam. In the aftermath of that, the album that made Fab and Rob infamous was deleted and the pair were dropped from their record label. If the suits who were "duped" into believing the Milli Vanilli hoax were so ashamed of their hired faces, why not put the fat chicks and soccer dads who actually sang these shitty tunes on the cover? Right, because they tried that once already.
It's expanding!
That's the aptly titled The Moment of Truth, Milli Vanilli's barely known second album. It was recorded prior to the lip-syncing scandal, and the album cover was supposed to have the two guys most of us knew as Milli and Vanilli on it. Obviously, that couldn't happen after that fateful night in Connecticut when the CD skipped, so the "band" was rechristened "The Real Milli Vanilli," and that photo was taken.
Have another look, because when will you see it again after today?
But here's the thing ... that's not "Milli Vanilli" either. Or at least the three people that most eyes would immediately be drawn to when looking at that photo aren't. The guys who actually sang those terrible songs are on the left and right, trying their best to not be forced out of the photo completely. In the middle we have "vocalist" Gina Mohammed, who is probably fourth but possibly third from the left. Next to her, somewhere, is Ray Horton. My best guess is that he's the one dressed like the guy who eventually killed himself. According to Wikipedia, someone named "Icy Bro" is also pictured. Assuming he's some kind of rapper and not just a super-duper douche, which is the only other direction you can take a name like that, early 1990s rap laws dictate that he must be the guy with the "high-top fade."
So how did this new version of Milli Vanilli go over with the public? So well that they eventually tried releasing the album again under a different band name after realizing that the name Milli Vanilli was going to move about as many units as a post-balcony-dangle Vanilla Ice. The second time around, they added an additional track called "Ding Dong" and changed the name to the somehow more embarrassing Try 'N' B, because all of that was bound to help.
It didn't, though, which is probably why you had next to no idea that any of these things happened. For you, the Milli Vanilli story probably ended in 1990, after one fraudulent album, just as it should have. And that's why this greatest hits collection has absolutely no reason to exist.
#4. Adele -- Greatest Hits
Do you know why Adele's last album was called 21? Because that's how old she was when she recorded it. That was two years ago. She hasn't released an album since then, but now, mysteriously, this greatest hits album surfaces. There is one and only one circumstance under which a person whose musical output has ceased (at least to this point) at the age of 21 gets to release a greatest hits album, and that, of course, is if you were on the plane that killed Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens.
Obviously, Adele was not on that plane, which in the loosest terms possible kind of makes her the Waylon Jennings of her generation. But it also makes her ineligible to milk her fan base by releasing a greatest hits album. And, to her credit, she technically has not. There is no mention of this pointless waste of whatever the hell CDs and DVDs are made of on her Wikipedia discography, which is the only discography that matters when you work for the Internet.
So much to choose from!
That said, it's still available, and it doesn't look quite like a bootleg. You can buy it on eBay, for example, and they tend to frown on copyright infringement, as I learned the hard way when my eBay account was suspended in 2001 for selling MP3 discs of Oasis and Radiohead B-sides back during the glory days of Napster. That's a true story, for the record.
Alternately, it could be that Adele's record label, sensing an opportunity to extract a little more cash from her recently expanded fan base during the lull between proper albums, decided to put this on the market in places where consumers would be less likely to gripe about it. (Translation: Anywhere except the United States.) So in that way you can think about it like one of those covert missions that we always hear about our government pulling off overseas without our knowledge. Record labels do the same thing, and just like the government, sometimes we find out that it happened after the fact.
There's a good chance nobody who cares actually knows that this particular greatest hits travesty is in circulation right now. All I ask is that someone look into it. If I can't sell bootleg CDs on eBay for personal profit, the people behind this ripoff shouldn't get to either.
#3. All Four of Master P's Greatest Hits Albums
The last time I wrote this article, I was younger and wet behind the ears and all of that, so my reasoning for including most of the albums I did last time could be boiled down to one simple reason: I just thought all of those people sucked way too much to warrant having a greatest hits album credited to their unworthy names. I've since learned that nobody wants to sit through me making the same point 10 times in a row, so for this version, I've tried to make the reasoning behind each album included here a little more complex than that.
I'm afraid, though, that I'm unable to be quite as thoughtful with this particular entry. We're talking about a man you know of for two reasons, at most. First is that "Make 'Em Say Ugh" song, which is exactly what I said every time I heard it. Also, my guy friends tell me he was one of the most atrocious Dancing With the Stars contestants ever. Nothing about these two achievements warrants even one greatest hits album. But the man properly known as Percy Miller has four of them.
First off, he's got this "Best Of" collection ...
... which narrowly escapes mockery here, because at least he's not claiming that any of these songs are actual "hits." But then he's got the audacity to put this out also ...
Ideally, you should be just as confused as I am about when exactly it was that Master P released anything resembling a "classic" song. But the fun doesn't stop there, because we've also got this ...
If you ask me, the "ultimate" Master P is a silent Master P, but I doubt that's what's in store for anyone who buys this, which in a perfect world would be no one. Finally, we have this ...
And that's probably the most infuriating thing about this parade of natural-resource-killing releases. The entirety of what could barely be classified as Master P's "hits" fit nicely on that compilation, and seeing as how it probably includes the one decent-est song by all of his various offspring, it's not a bad value. It's still a stretch to call the songs it includes "hits," but at least it's a bit less of a fleece than the rest of this unnecessary shit.

UPDATE: Man charged with first degree reckless homicide in death of 5-year-old boy
Madison --- Bail is set at $100,000 for the man charged in the death of a 5-year old boy.
24-year-old Dakota Black made his first appearance in court Friday. He's charged with first degree reckless homicide in the death of Brayden Turnbill.
It happened last month inside a Sun Prairie home. Black was the only one at the home when doctors say the boy suffered a deadly brain injury as a result of child abuse.
If found guilty prosecutors say he could face a long time behind bars.
Dane County authorities on Nov. 12 formally charged Dakota Black with first degree reckless homicide in connection with the Oct. 22 beating and subsequent death of 5-year-old Brayden Turnbill in Sun Prairie.
If convicted, Black could receive a maximum of 66 years imprisonment because of his status as a repeat offender.
According to the criminal complaint, Turnbill's mother arrived home to find her son lying on his bed, perhaps having a seizure. When she attempted to wake him and could not, Turnbill's mother called 911.
During subsequent police questioning, Black said he never checked on Brayden after he went back downstairs from playing outside. The complaint states Brayden had never been diagnosed with epilepsy prior to the seizure.
When an officer asked Brayden's mother about how the child had received bruises on his chest and abdomen, she said she was unsure where the marks had come from because she had dress the boy for school earlier that day and "marks were not there."
A doctor told police after examining the boy that he had a massive intracranial injury, possibly due to shaking or an impact to his head.
When questioned by police, Black said, according to the complaint, that he did not know how the boy was hurt.
"I don't know but the way he is . . . on my watch," Black told police, according to the complaint.
When the detective asked Black again what that meant, Black responded, "whatever happened on my watch," and "I am responsible."
An autopsy showed Turnbill died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.
The repeat offender charges stem from Black's previous convictions for possession of narcotic drugs and felony bail jumping, according to the complaint.
Tuesday, November 5, 2013 --- 11:18 a.m.
Sun Prairie Police are asking for homicide charges against a man accused in the death of a 5-year-old boy.
Dakota Black is the suspect in the death of Brayden Turnbill.
The District Attorney will now review the Sun Prairie Police Department's reports, and then make a charging decision.
The Sun Prairie Police Department is identifying Dakota R. Black (DOB: 11-02-89) as a suspect in the death of five-year old Brayden Turnbill. Black is the boyfriend of Brayden Turnbill's mother.
Black has been held in the Dane County Jail on an unrelated probation and parole warrant since the day of the incident.
The Sun Prairie Police Department and the Dane County Sherriff's Office are completing the investigation in an effort to make a charging recommendation.
Investigators continue to follow-up on information and the release of further details would compromise the investigation.
Concerned community members have established a benefit fund on behalf of Brayden. The accompanying information is included at the request of the benefit's organizers.
The Dane Co. Medical Examiner has identified the boy who died in a child abuse case in Sun Prairie as 5-year-old Brayden Turnbill.
The Medical Examiner has ruled the manner of death in this investigation as a homicide.
Turnbill died Thursday at the UW Hospital.
An online report cites multiple sources close to the family of the 5 year old boy, saying the child died from his injuries on Thursday night. .
We are awaiting comment from the Sun Prairie Police Department.
Sun Prairie Police say they are investigating a child abuse case after a 5-year-old boy suffered significant life-threatening injuries.
Crews responded to 1948 Barrington Circle 4:23 Tuesday afternoon. The boy was taken to the hospital.
Police say the community is not in danger. They do not want to release any other information at this time in an effort to not compromise their investigation

The 6 Most Spectacular Dick Moves in Online Gaming History
#5. The Level 1 Apocalypse (World of Warcraft)
World of Warcraft has always been a target for hackers (players stealing money or gaining speed advantages), but the most recent attack re-enacted the skull road at the start of Terminator.
World of Warcraft via Eurogamer
But with real pretend skulls.
Hackers worked out how to one-shot kill everything in the game, then tried to do literally that. They were walking around a world of epic swords and wonderful magic carrying shotguns. Player Jadd strolled into the Baradin Hold, prison of the demon Alizabal, Mistress of Hate, raid boss of 25 million hit points, and killed her with one click. He killed her before she even finished her evil monologue, meaning Jadd had just done exactly what everyone has ever yelled at James Bond villains to do, and also proved why they don't do that. Because it's boring.
It's the hacking dichotomy. Actually hacking something, studying the code to discover exploits, is an incredible puzzle and enormous fun. But using the hacks is boring. The whole point of a game boss is having a hard time beating it. If you're prepared to just make the enemy dead, you might as well write "Horrible Big Scary Monster!" on a piece of paper and then put a line through it.
And with one bold stroke, I defeated the mighty dragon! Truly, the pen is mightier than the sword.
When the trial accounts used for the hack started getting banned, the remaining hackers knew they only had minutes to live. And then we learned that their bucket list was a giant funeral urn with the word "EVERYONE" written on it. They headed for the major trade cities and massacred far beyond the reach of sanity. They killed and they killed and they killed, and in these neutral zones the victims couldn't fight back.
World of Warcraft via Eurogamer
They did every single one of those corpses by hand.
It was insane. They just clicked everything to death, one at a time. It was like playing Minesweeper, but without the same level of gameplay. Doing it once or twice is fun, but going for a full 30 minutes until the very moment they're forced to stop, killing everything without joy or emotion for no other reason that they can? If we'd known people would get this psychotic, we'd still have invented these games just to keep them off the streets.

Greywater: What is it, and Why is it Awesome?
Confession: I'm kind of a simpleton when it comes to plumbing. Only in recent years has it occurred to me to ask questions like, where does toilet water go when I flush? And how is it suddenly replaced with clean water? And sinks, and washing machines, and showers for that matter- what happens to all my own waste water?
Is it magic?
Since that first realization of my ignorance regarding all things waste water, I've tried my best to learn a little more about plumbing. At times, it can be hard to remember how wasteful flush toilets and long showers are.
Enter off-grid water recycling systems! Designing a Tumbleweed that doesn't require regular hook-ups is a great opportunity to get to know your personal water usage. Here's a bit about how you can use greywater to minimize waste and take advantage of a great resource.
What is greywater?
Greywater refers to waste water that is relatively harmless and can thus be reused for a variety of purposes. It gets the name "grey" for being somewhere between fresh water and sewage water.
Usually, the term encompasses dishwater, laundry water and shower water. However, it is important that you don't put ANYTHING remotely toxic in your sink, shower or laundry machine if you're planning on reusing the water. It's pretty easy to avoid-just make sure you're using biodegradable soaps, laundry detergents, etc.
I got some great biodegradable soaps for Christmas, and am excited to eventually set up my own grey water irrigation system!
How is it reused?
Greywater is typically used for irrigation- most people direct their grey water into gardens or mulch pits. Grey water can also be recycled inside. Water from showers and dishes can be used in toilets, house plants, and greenhouses.
Greywater reuse in a garden (Source)
You can get pretty creative- there's no one way to use greywater!
Remember, of course that greywater is never safe to drink. Filtration processes can render it safe to use for toilet water and washing water.
What's the difference between greywater and blackwater?
Blackwater contains human waste, and cannot safely be used- generally, this refers to the water flushed in toilets. It contains pathogens that must decompose before they can be safely released into the environment. One way to avoid dealing with blackwater? Composting toilets!

LISBON - The salary being paid the Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency director is in the middle range of what EMA directors earn in the six other Ohio counties closest in size.
The median salary of the EMA directors in those six counties is $59,911 compared to $59,000, the current salary for county EMA Director Luke Newbold. The salaries ranged from $45,000 to $65,000, with the level of experience varying.
The Morning Journal conducted the salary survey after the issue came up at a May 22 meeting between county commissioners and a representative from FirstEnergy to discuss a new contract for continued funding of the EMA in 2014-15.
Because a portion of the county falls within 10 miles of FirstEnergy's nuclear power plant in Shippingport, Pa., county EMAs are required to have an emergency response plan should an accident occur. Because of this federal mandate, FirstEnergy has helped fund county EMAs within the zone.
The FirstEnergy representative said Columbiana County is the only one in its Shippingport zone where the county commissioners contribute nothing to the EMA. As such, they objected to commissioners hiring Newbold for $59,000 in January when none of the eight other EMA directors in the zone are paid more than $50,500.
FirstEnergy is asking commissioners to begin contributing to Newbold's salary, especially if they intend to follow through with plans to grant him a promised pay raise over the next year as he earns additional certifications. Newbold, 33, served 13 years as a Navy SEAL before deciding to return to the county, but he still remains in the Reserves.
Following is a list of the counties surveyed by the Morning Journal, all of which are outside FirstEnergy's Shippingport zone. Columbiana County has a population of 107,841:
- Allen County, population 106,331. Their EMA director has been on the job for 15 years and earns $62,296.
- Ashtabula County, population 101,497. Its director position is currently vacant but the salary range for the new director is $51,564 to $64,384.
- Miami County, population 102,506. Their director has been on the job for five years and is paid $57,887.
- Richland County, population 124,475. Their director, who had been on the job for two years, died recently and was earning $45,000. The former director was hired on an part-time basis until the position is filled.
- Wayne County, population 114,520. The director has been on the job 18 months and is paid $65,000.
- Wood County, population 125,488. The director has held the position for six years and is paid $61,936.
County Commissioner Tim Weigle said they have performed their own salary survey of county EMA directors in Ohio and reached the same conclusion, that Newbold's salary is about in the middle range.
"I don't find it to be excessive for the job we are asking him to do and the training he has to go through," he said.

Four Bomb Mr. Cranky Movie Reviews

I don't have the slightest idea who these two guys are, but they must have the best agents in the world because somehow they're starring in a movie about smoking dope.

|How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Director Kevin Rodney Sullivan may not be very good at getting me to care about his characters, but I was definitely wondering how he got them so shiny.
|08/14/1998 - 21:05
There's really nothing going for this film at all.
|03/06/1998 - 21:15
|I Am David
Jim Caviezel's character once again bites it for the sins of fellow characters which is something I'm getting a little sick of. Dying for the sins of others once is perfectly fine, but make a habit of it and you kind of start to look selfish.
|11/04/2004 - 02:26
|I Know What You Did Last Summer
If I were a cop and I had seen both "Scream" and this film, I'd beat writer Kevin Williamson's house searching it for drugs.
|10/17/1997 - 02:43
|I Spy
"I Spy" might be nothing more than a cinematic annoyance akin to rolling around in beach sand and wondering afterward if that last speck or two will ever make its way out of your crack.
|11/01/2002 - 02:50
|I Still Know What Your Breasts Did Last Summer
Look at the advertisements or the poster for this film and you instantly know what it's about. Jennifer Love Hewitt's breasts take up as much space as her head while taking up about 50% more space than Brandy's head.

|I'll Be Home for Christmas
"Hey, I've got this Christmas film. Let's get that woman, Arlene Sanford, who directed 'A Very Brady Sequel' to do it." That's like saying, "Hey, I've got all this cocaine I need transported safely across the country. Let's get Robert Downey, Jr. to do it."

|Idle Hands
Apparently sensitive souls at the studio felt that a horror comedy about a teen whose hand is possessed and kills people might inspire somebody to cut off his own hand and encourage it to kill people.
|04/30/1999 - 03:21
|Igby Goes Down
Spending two hours locked in a dark room with these characters is like being forced to endure your own free sample of hell.
|05/01/2003 - 03:24
|In the Mood for Love
If you thought the British had a hard time expressing their emotions, the mood in this film makes the Changing of the Guard look like Mardi Gras.
|02/26/2001 - 21:14
|Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The movie would have been more exciting if it took place 25 years later, and Indiana Jones's main struggle was trying not to break his hip on the way to bingo night.
|05/06/2008 - 20:06
Ultimately, this film is a misogynistic piece of garbage.
|08/29/2003 - 21:47
|Into the Blue
Director John Stockwell has taken ass filming to a whole new level here, having apparently typecast himself with "Blue Crush." His asscrackcam shots are indeed a thing of wonder.
|09/30/2005 - 21:50
|It Runs in the Family
Director Fred Schepisi, who's last remotely tolerable film was "Six Degrees of Separation" a whopping ten years ago, conducts this film like he's the one who's had a stroke.
|04/25/2003 - 22:20
|Jack Frost
How ironic that a film supposedly lauding the heartwarming catharsis of human connection relies almost entirely on computer graphics.

|Jakob the Liar
We need another Holocaust film like we need another Holocaust.

|Jason X
The script for "Aliens" has apparently been introduced into the public domain.
|04/26/2002 - 16:37
|Jeepers Creepers
The writer/director of this film, Victor Salva, is a convicted child molester. I guess just about anything is forgiven in Hollywood unless you happen to diddle Michael Eisner's kids by mistake.
|08/31/2001 - 16:41
|Jeepers Creepers 2
Just because Victor Salva once filmed himself molesting a sixth-grade child actor while making a horror film about evil clowns is no reason to judge him harshly or not give him your money.

4 Things People Mistakenly Think Are Automatically Hilarious
#2. Forced Quirky Language
Certain funny people have a way with language that really adds to how funny they are, and slow, unobservant fans often get confused and think that these language quirks are what makes them funny.
For example, Seanbaby's writing is usually sprinkled with metaphors and analogies no one else would have come up with, like:
He was a nerd in every direction. He moved like space squids hollowed out a sex offender and were drunk driving him. (link)
She claims to be a supermodel and an actress, but she looks like someone tried to recreate their grandmother out of Turtle Wax and she's in fewer movies than Bigfoot. (link)
If the Special Olympics had a comedy writing event, this would be the only entry that didn't win a hug. John M. Byrne is so tragic that breast cancer walks to end him. (link)
"Wait a minute," you might be saying. "Are you trying to fill your column with quotes from Seanbaby, hoping it will make it automatically funny?" Well, I would if I thought I could get away with it. Damn tight-assed editors.
I would do a LOT of things if I thought I could get away with it.
Anyway, the point is that there are a lot of people out there who do not know how hard it is to come up with an insulting analogy that is actually funny. They just figure that if they compare something to poop, disease or sexual deviancy, then bam! Joke magic! "Watching the Raiders-Dolphins game was like watching a polio patient rape a piece of poop!" No! You are not doing it right.
Movie or book reviews have a special subcategory of wannabe-funny language, like when people give every character a wacky nickname. Like if they're making fun of Twilight, they might call Edward "Darkness McEmo" and Jacob "Abs McGee." You could get off to a worse start, but it's always incredibly depressing when you realize that this is the extent of the humor the person has brought to their review and that it's basically a straightforward plot summary with the names replaced and nothing else. Again, the funny names are the sprinkles on the cupcake. People like it when you give them cupcakes with sprinkles. People do not really enjoy having handfuls of raw sprinkles thrown at them sans cupcake.
People have been blinded that way.
Along the same lines, there's a really popular trend to replace character names with actor names, like "The Narnians think all their problems will be solved when Liam Neeson returns." Or you replace a character's name with another character the actor has played, like "In A Walk in the Clouds, Neo returns from World War II to find a series of plot twists that conveniently let him dump his wife for a more attractive woman while still being the good guy."
Once again, people saw this used in a funny way somewhere and took home the wrong lesson. Usually when it's done right, it's done to make a point, like the fact that the actor fails so badly at disappearing into the role that you never see the character because the actor is so obviously himself. Like I don't even remember Arnold Schwarzenegger's character names in half the movies he was in because you just look at him and see Arnold Schwarzenegger. If the writer spent any time or effort writing a personality for the character, they'll probably never make that mistake again, because on screen the character is just "Here's Arnold Schwarzenegger if he happened to be a spy/doctor/scientist."
So when you say, "Here's the scene in Junior where Arnold Schwarzenegger is about to give birth," it's not some forced formula joke, it's an accurate way of describing how the scene comes across to most viewers -- Arnold Schwarzenegger giving birth.
His character was named Dr. Alex Hesse. Anyone who remembers that probably worked on the film.
#1. Asking if People Are Familiar With Something
Many good stand-up routines start out with "Anyone ever notice [something you may have noticed]?" but a surprisingly large number of people seem to think they also stop there. "Ever notice that women enjoy shopping?" they say, or write. Or "Hey, who remembers Charles in Charge?" And then they sit back and wait for the laughs to roll in.
In a perfect world, an impeccably timed tumbleweed would roll by, but first of all, this usually happens indoors, and secondly, and most sadly, people will quite often laugh at these things, so that these people are encouraged and will not stop.
There just aren't enough tumbleweeds in the world for the work that needs to be done.
After you get the audience on board with their mutual recognition of women's fondness for shopping, you are then supposed to make some kind of additional observation, maybe hyperbolically compare it to a drug addiction, maybe tell a funny story about a specific shopping adventure you had with a woman, or one you had yourself, if you are a woman. After you remind everyone that Charles in Charge was a sitcom that once existed, maybe your actual joke would be speculation about why the writers refused to reveal Charles' last name. (Nazi war criminal?)
Reincarnation of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne?
A lot of people accuse Seth MacFarlane cartoons of doing exactly this, just mentioning some pop culture nostalgia item and waiting for a laugh, but I don't know if that's totally fair. Like when a Family Guy character referenced The Facts of Life, they cut to a scene from The Facts of Life where it was revealed that Jo had both male and female genitalia, which, needless to say, did not actually happen on the original show. Is this a good joke? I don't know, you decide. But whatever the result, they put in a little more effort than merely cutting to a Facts of Life title screen and going, "Eh? Eh?"
Anyway, as mentioned before, audiences are often complicit in these awful charades, going "I do remember Pogs! What a hilarious joke!" or "It's true, Asians often get better grades! This man is a comedy genius!" I think it is just a natural human tendency to want to belong. If you do not know what the Safety Dance is, but it is clear that the author/speaker and other members of the audience do, you feel sad, like you are not part of the club. If you do happen to know what it is, you are so happy you laugh almost in relief. It's not so much a laugh of "That sure was funny!" as "Yeah! I'm with it! I know things!"
If you do that, stop it. Print out this Remembering Badge and pin it to your shirt.
See, now you and everyone around you know that you have been recognized by the International Council of Remembering for being good at remembering. You no longer need to be desperate for validation from some cheap-laugh comedian.
