Just a few notes for Christmas
I have eaten too much.
I'm very glad that I now work for a European company and don't have to report back to work until January 5. It will give me time to work off all of those damned Christmas cookies and ham.
Christmas reminds us of those who need prayers most. My wife's brother is sick and alone today. The man who was almost an adoptive grandfater for me hasn't had hydration or food for six days, and is still hanging on. My uncle hasn't heard from his eldest daughter in 22 years, and he found out that he's a grandfather. . . but he doesn't know if the baby is a boy or a girl. Prayer doesn't cost you anything, and it can truly comfort those who need comforting most.
If you slip and tell a Jew or Muslim or Druid "Merry Christmas," don't sweat it. From my perspective, if a Jew said to me "Happy Hanukkah!" I would be grateful for the sentiment.
Give. It's just money - you'll make more. What you give now, you will receive in abundance later. God said so, and I happen to believe Him on this one.

Best Fan Vid of 2008
Regarding the Big Three
1. Cut wages for auto workers. While I'm glad that this is a good-paying job for someone with no education past high school, to pay $75,000 to a guy who wipes down cars with a chamois JUST BECAUSE HE'S BEEN THERE FOR 30 YEARS is absurd.
2. Cut wages for executives. I don't mind insanely high salaries for big companies, but NOT when those companies are failing. If the company is tanking, don't give a pass to those responsible for decision making.
3. Stop pandering to unions. There was a study two years ago that showed approximately $2500 in every GM car was to pay for employee health benefits. STOP. If they don't want to work for less money and non-executive healthcare packages, THEY CAN QUIT. Union strike? Tough. There are plenty of recent high school grads who would love a decent job that pays enough for them to care for a small family. Fire 'em all if they strike, and hire people who WANT to work.
I heard an interesting idea on the radio this morning. Ask the unions to buy a partial stake in the company. Get the bailout from THEM. That way, they have a definite and vested interest in seeing the whole company succeed - not just the union. If they don't believe in the company enough to think that it will pay off on their investment, why are they still working there.
Just a few thoughts.
Two nice things
Today, Stacey went on her weekly grocery run. She left before eight. I was in the basement, cleaning. I had Jake cleaning his room. Time went by and I began to wonder. I didn't know if she'd found some other errands to run or if she'd run into a friend or stopped to help somebody, so I put that aside. When ten o'clock rolled around, I began to wonder if she was okay. Jake asked, "Do you know when Mama's coming back?" I looked out in the driveway and realized that she had taken my car instead of the Jeep. Weird. I sent her a text message and just asked if she was okay.
She showed up about ten minutes later, grinning from ear to ear. I mean, the Joker would have been envious. She proudly informed me that she had two new tires put on the back of my car, since mine were bald and starting to show steel.
When you start truly trying to think of something that you can do for your spouse to show that you're thinking about them, it might take a long time to come up with the right idea. Never pass up the chance. If you CAN do it, do it.
Honey, that was an incredibly thoughtful gift. The bushel of raw peanuts was great, and the birch beer was delicious, but getting tires put on the car was thoughtful and wonderful. Thank you.
A most unfortunate headline
Don't forget or let your vision be clouded
Today is different, though.
You are allowed to say what you think. You have the right to speak your mind. You can complain about the government without fear of being jailed.
There is one reason for this: somebody answered the call of his nation. Someone said, "I'll go." They're not all the old guys pictured above. Some of them are guys my age or younger, who served a couple of tours and got out.
Don't throw your politics at them. They're not baby killers or the enforcement arm of some nightmarish Republican power trip. They're just guys who wanted to serve their country.
Not every one of them lost their lives, but they all offered them. Keep that in mind when you encounter the old guy with a campaign patch on his hat, or sit at a traffic light behind a truck with a POW/MIA sticker, or when you see some young Rangers blowing off steam at a bar. These are the guys who offered all that they had to defend your rights to either praise or condemn them.
As someone who values liberty and is proud to be an American: Thank you, all of you, who served.
State of the Me
I'd been interviewing for a job, several months ago. It looked like it was on hold until January. Then, three weeks ago, they decided that they want me NOW. So now I'm leaving my present company. It's not been perfect, but it provided a good platform from which to launch myself back upwards again. They invested in me, and I gave them more than they were paying me for. Good swap.
I'm going to be doing sales for this new company. Well, I'm going to be doing sales officially, as opposed to doing them unofficially where I am now. I'll have to/get to travel some. I'm looking forward to it.
How could I just sit out that election and not say SOMEthing? Easy. This past election was the perfect counterbalance to the incredibly stupid bailout of financial institutions. How so? The banks should have been allowed to fail. They must fail and experience negative consequences or there will be no incentive to alter their behaviors. How does that play into the national election? People must see the system fail – grandly, horribly, inescapably – before they will ever sit up and change their behaviors. People in this election voted (in my beliefs) for three things: "change" (though change from what and TO what was not defined), NOT BUSH, and Who Is Going To Pay For My. . . "
Fine. Nationally, we're taking greater steps towards socialism. It has to fail before the people of this nation will allow it to be fixed.
Whatever. I can't fix it. What I CAN do is get ready to kick ass in my new job, be the best husband, stepfather and Godfather that I can be, and be happy for what I've got.
Party on, rockers.
Stoopid Global Warming
It's coming, people
I talked with a customer today. She was lamenting how much pain she's in because of a toothache. Her wisdom teeth are coming in, she explained. Have been for a year and a half. "I'm just putting off doing anything about it until I get that government insurance."
So, she says to me, I don't want to take responsibility for myself. I want YOU to pay for it.
You're a loser, Rebecca. Unfortunately, in this coming elections, the loser is going to overwhelm us with numbers. Get used to this:

10 Worst Halloween "treats" to give
Here's a brilliant article on the ten worst things you can pass out at Halloween.
My personal favorite is probably Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I know that the packaging can be tampered with - that someone could have slipped a razor or HIV-infected needle through that paper wrapping - but in the case of Reese's, I find those possibilities to be of acceptable risk.
Another idea for you is something that I did when I bought my first house. Want to get to know your neighbors? Have TWO bins: one for the children, and one for their folks.
Turning point?
To my shame, my second thought was "She said it's over, but now she wants to put this in front of me so that - if I decide I can't or won't do it - she won't be the one doing the leaving." Yeah, I thought that. I didn't realize at the time that she was doing the Love Dare with me.
Some days look easy. Some days, you look at the writing and the dare and the Scripture and think, "I can knock this out in no time." That works fine until you reach a day and read what's expected of you and you think, "How on earth can I do THIS?"
We saw the movie tonight. When I got home from work, she was making sure that the kids were fed. I changed into something a little dressier, put on some good smelly stuff, and we drove off to have Mexican for dinner. It was nice and it was relaxing. We got to the theater absolutely stuffed, got a Diet Coke to share and went in. Only one preview (Inkheart, incidentally). I was skeptical. I remember Kirk Cameron's acting from the eighties, but then again, I've not seen it since then.
The movie was touching and moving. It wasn't brilliant, but it had it where it needed it. The couples who go to see movies like this aren't going for the acting. They are looking for a movie that resonates with them, showing them a way through instead of just another way out. This one did that. I talked with Loner afterwards and we found that we had things in common with both characters.
I also came to another conclusion: I'm starting over. When I began this, it was not with total conviction. It was conditional: I'll do this until/unless I see that Loner's not doing the same thing, or isn't trying as hard, whatever. In the movie, Cameron's wife isn't doing it at all. It's just one guy trying desperately to get back to being the man who wooed his wife and was a hero to her. Does that sound familiar to anyone reading this?
He half-assed it at the beginning. He did just enough to get by. Then, when he got to around day 20, he realized the depth of commitment that is asked for and he panicked.
Well, I cheated. One day one, I read the whole thing. I know what's coming. Now that I know my wife is in this with me, I don't want to cheat her. I'm going to start at the beginning and do this RIGHT. I'm not going to skip to the ending, or do just enough to get by. I'm going to do it right. She and I talked about doing this thing, and we have one unlikely motivator in common: If this marriage fails, it's NOT going to be because we DIDN'T do something to fix it. We're not going to leave any stone unturned. We're going to do our best.
I had one other piece of good news tonight. The kids have mentioned to their mom that they've noticed a change in me. She didn't ASK them - they just felt compelled to tell her. You have no idea how incredibly astoundingly awesome that feeling is.
Anyway, goodnight. Thanks for being out there.
REALLY hard question for pop culture junkies

Just so my wife knows I miss her tonight
I'm public again
Having this in private was causing too much of a rift at home, so I'm public again.
Incidentally, if anyone out there is tempted to do this Love Dare thing that was featured in the movie Fireproof. . . you'd better be certain. It's HARD.
That's just how I roll

One other thing
I would say, "15 days down, XXX days to go" but I don't know when or if I will be able to safely drink again.
Oh, well. Life has enough drama without complicating things.
I do miss some things, though:
Wisdom from the mouths of babes
"You ever want to crack God up, just tell Him what your plans are."
This from our receptionist this morning. As Madeline Kahn said, "It's twoo, it's twoo!"
McCain versus Obama, in square circle!
I got as far as Senator Obama blaming the financial crisis entirely on the Bush administration, to which he's going to link Senator McCain. Nevermind that McCain fought for reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Oh, yeah: he is a Socialist. Just check out his policies.
Then, of course, Senator McCain will try to convince people that he's not only a conservative, but that he's a maverick who bucks the political system. I doubt that he will mention his efforts to sidestep the Constitutional right to free speech by pushing the McCain-Feingold Act. The libertarian in me has an itty bitty problem with this.
I can't vote for Bob Barr. A failure as a Republican, he decided that he's going to run as a Libertarian. Nevermind that he debated Neal Boortz years ago and decreed that - regardless of WHAT medical doctors and their mumbo jumbo might say - there is no reason that ANYONE should ever be allowed to smoke pot. That speaks volumes about his thoughts about personal liberty, especially to someone like me who values personal freedom above all else and who also has a mother who has a chronic disease for which she's not allowed to smoke marijuana.
Who else is there? Nader? You gotta be kidding me. The Green Party is just the watermelon party: it's green on the outside, but is essentially against the ideas of free market capitalism and individual rights. Yes, I'll say that they're red on the inside. I know that referring to someone as Communist is so 80s and is really passe, but it fits. Isn't Cynthia McKinney running, somewhere?
How about another option on the ballot? How about a "Screw you assholes for these crummy choices, I want to reach into the Scrabble bag and pull some new letters!" option on the ballot?
Unfortunately, the average American is dumb as a rock. The average American takes little to no interest in the political process, except to briefly note who is going to move the most money from someone else into their pockets. The average American thinks that there is a Constitutionally guaranteed right to vote. The average American thinks that their nation is a democracy (or is supposed to be!). The average American has no idea why we have both Representatives and Senators. The average American disgusts me. The average American thinks that health care is a right. The average American cannot tell you how much they pay each year in taxes, but they'll happily tell you how much their stimulus check was for.
Republicans, stay out of the bedroom! Democrats, stay out of my wallet! Greenies, just get the fuck away from me. Libertarians, pick a candidate who has the guts to stick by freedom as his sole platform!
The average American is going to elect Barack Obama. God help us.
Picture of the minor miracle
My head is going to split
Truly venting
I'm not comfortable in my own home. There is so much tension, so much walking on eggshells. I want to make everything right again, so that coming home feels like just that. Instead, it's . . . not. I wish that I could fix it, and I'm doing what I can to do that, but I can't bring back the vibe that comes from a loving home.
I felt bad about putting something like this out there, but I have to let it out somewhere. I don't have any friends of the sort to share deepest feelings with. I know that I could, but we just don't normally have that kind of relationship. My head shrinker knows all of this stuff, but telling her doesn't really do anything for me.
The person in the cubicle next to me thinks it's cool to keep on humming Silent Night under her breath and it's making me crazy. In the library, you're supposed to stay quiet so that people can think.
So I'll just vent here.
Today is quite a day
Splitting headache. I mean, having to close my eyes against the pain. I don't normally get headaches like that. It hurts at the temples and at the base of my skull, and all of the muscles in my neck are knotted like there's a car battery hooked up to them.
I have a short fuse today, but I think part of that is reaction to the pain and part of that is reaction to some bad circumstances.
I want to put my own head through a wall, right now. As George Bush and Dana Carvey used to say, though, "Not. . . gonna . . . doit."

News from Upstate

Upstate Cancer Center Campaign nears halfway mark
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Upstate Medical University has raised $6 million toward its $15 million fundraising goal for the Upstate Cancer Center, university officials announced today.
"We're elated by the support from the Central New York community," said Eileen Pezzi, Upstate's vice president for development. "There still is plenty of work to do, but to be near the halfway mark so early in our campaign is very encouraging." A silent phase of the campaign began early last year; official kick of the campaign was in December 2010.
Dollars raised so far represent contributions from Upstate employees, area businesses and corporations. Also included in the dollar amount are proceeds from such high-profile fundraisers as the Upstate Gala, Paige's Butterfly Run, the Clear Channel Radiothon and the recent Father Daughter Valentine Ball.
"Just like when we sought support for the children's hospital, the community is responding with generosity," Pezzi said.
Helping lead the charge to build what officials say will be the region's most comprehensive resource for fighting cancer in Syracuse are Syracuse University basketball head coach Jim Boeheim and Buffalo Sabres star and Syracuse native Tim Connolly, who serve as honorary co-chairs of "Give Hope a New Home," the name given to the university's capital campaign for the 90,000-square-foot Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse. Both Boeheim and Connolly are featured prominently in a video documenting the need for the Upstate Cancer Center.
The Upstate Cancer Center, which will become the region's most comprehensive resource for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and related disorders, will bring Upstate's outpatient cancer services under one roof, feature dedicated spaces that support holistic care and serve as a vital component to the Upstate Cancer Research Institute.
The "Give Hope" campaign seeks to raise $10 million for the actual construction and $5 million for programmatic endowments supporting adult medical oncology, children's oncology, surgical oncology, brain tumors, breast cancer, radiation oncology and the Upstate Cancer Research Institute. The overall cost of the Upstate Cancer Center will be $74.5 million.
Construction of the five-story Upstate Cancer Center at East Adams and Almond streets is scheduled to start in March with an opening date of September 2013.

Mike Gminski walked the familiar corridors of the Spectrum last night and had to remind himself to take a sharp left at the visitors' locker room. He had been there before, during seven seasons of toil for the New Jersey Nets. And now, after going from the 76ers to the Charlotte Hornets in a January trade, he was once again a stranger in a familiar land.
The poor shooting that had caused the Sixers to trade Gminski had turned around, just as Gminski had predicted it would. And the Sixers, without a frontcourt player who could shoot effectively from the perimeter, had struggled in his absence. Gminski had noticed that, too.

The number of items allowable for Derivation Code Sequence (0008,2112)
is not specified, though it should be. This definitely needs a CP.
If multiple items are present, then their meaning in relation to one
another is not described, and therefore does not imply successive
application of derivation steps (or anything else). A CP should
define this one way or the other or emphasize that it is not defined.

There is no specified succession semantics for multiple items in the
Source Image Sequence (0008,2112), and the presence of multiple items
usually means that all those images were combined to make this image
(e.g. multiple source images to make an MPR or MIP).
> Q: Is it appropriate to accumulate all of the prior SOP Instance UIDs

> re-lossy-compressed?
I don't think many receivers would be able to recognize this pattern of
usage, assuming there are any receivers that care, though it is not
explicitly forbidden.
The use of the Purpose of Reference Code Sequence (0040,A170), which is
a relatively recent addition to the standard, within the references could
make the intent more clear. But there is still no way of indicating the
order of succession and distinguishing when multiple images are combined
to create this image as opposed to multiple images being derived from one
another in a particular order.
> Q: If so, can I use "Uncompressed predecessor" (DCM,121320) for the
> Purpose of Reference Code?
There is currently no code specifically for recompression of a previously
lossy compressed predecessor. One could be added if you think it is
In general, two aspects of maintaining "history" information within the
image objects themselves are relatively weak; one as you observe is the
history of the pixel data; the other is the history of the entire object,
such as when other non-pixel data attributes are modified, removed, added
or coerced.

Corry man faces trial in Millcreek bank robbery
A Corry man accused of robbing a Millcreek Township bank five days after police said he overdosed on heroin at a township motel is facing trial on criminal charges in both January incidents.
Martin A. Mitchell, 29, waived his preliminary hearing Tuesday on charges of robbery, theft by unlawful taking, terroristic threats and simple assault in the Jan. 11 robbery of a First National Bank branch at 2765 W. Eighth St.
Mitchell was also held for court Tuesday on charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia for items police said they found when they investigated his reported drug overdose at a township motel on Jan. 6.
Mitchell was returned to the Erie County Prison on $75,000 in bonds after his brief appearance before Millcreek Township District Judge Paul Manzi in Erie County Central Court on Tuesday morning.
Mitchell is scheduled to appear in court on March 1 for his preliminary hearing on robbery, theft and receiving stolen property charges in a robbery he is accused of committing at the Marquette Savings Bank branch, 1775 E. 38th St., on Jan. 19.
He is in jail on $50,000 bond in that case.
Millcreek police accuse Mitchell of stealing $4,854.01 from the First National Bank branch while claiming to have a bomb. No one was injured in the robbery, and no weapon was shown, police said.
The drug charges against Mitchell were filed three days after the robbery. He was taken into custody on those charges from an Erie motel on the evening of Jan. 19 and was questioned in relation to the two bank robberies based on evidence and other information, city police said.
The evidence included six $10 bills, with sequential serial numbers close to numbers on other bills at the Marquette Savings Bank, that Mitchell possessed, according to information in a search warrant served on a room at the motel.
Mitchell confessed to robbing both banks, police said.

Val3ntino112 > Reviews
Hall Pass - 4 years, 11 months agoOwen Wilsons Rick and Jason Sudeikiss Fred are best friends whose roving eyes exasperate their wives. Ricks Maggie (Jenna Fischer) and Freds Grace (Christina Applegate) devise a solution: Give the boys a hall pass a one-time-only week off from their marriages during which, in order to get the wanderlust out of their system once and for all, they have permission to do whatever they want with whomever they want. The wives, in the meantime, go on vacation, where they encounter a college baseball team replete with studs.
Toy Story 2 - 4 years, 11 months agoCowboy Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) is stolen by Al the toy collector (Wayne Knight, still playing a blubbering fat guy - even as a cartoon!). Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) mounts a rescue mission with some of the other toys to get him back. But Woody may not want to return
Madagascar - 4 years, 11 months agoMarty the Zebra (voice of Chris Rock) has lived the easy life for 10 years as a main attraction at the Central Park Zoo. But, what he wants most is to go to the mythical wild, a place he believes to be somewhere near Connecticut, and sets out one night to find it. When his best friends, Alex the Lion (voice of Ben Stiller), Gloria the Hippopotamus (voice of Jada Pinkett Smith) and Melman the Giraffe (voice of David Schwimmer), learn of Martys disappearance, they decide to intervene and bring their black and white striped friend home. Instead, the quartet triggers a movement to return all the zoos animals to the wild and they end up in Madagascar.
Finding Nemo - 4 years, 11 months agoFinding Nemo is about a clown fish in the Great Barrier Reef whose seriously overprotective nature accidentally gets his only son captured by deep sea divers and subsequently put on display in a fish tank in a dentists office. But like any loving father, he sets out into the great blue yonder to get his boy back, makes some unlikely friends and companions along the way and gradually learns the many benefits that come with letting go and trusting others.
Bolt - 4 years, 11 months agoNaturally, the movie centers around an adorable mutt named Bolt. When we first meet the little fella, he's being selected as a little girl's new pet. We quickly fast forward to the future, where Bolt and his human Penny are having fantastic adventures as they work to save her father from an insidious villain known as "the green-eyed man". The thing is, all of this is make-believe. Bolt is the star of a popular television show, but the producers and crew must constantly do their diligent best to make sure that Bolt is never aware that his life is a fiction. When he manages to escape because he thinks Penny is in peril, the pup's adventures truly begin.
Stand by Me - 4 years, 11 months agoA likable film punctuated by standout performances, Stand by Me is an interesting variation on the standard coming-of-age period film. Based on a short story by Stephen King, Stand by Me deals with preteen concerns instead of teen ones. Director Rob Reiner successfully keeps the nostalgia and sentimentality in check; and he places a remarkable amount of faith in his young cast. Of the four leads, River Phoenix and Wil Wheaton deliver sensitive, complex performances which belie their age
The Departed - 4 years, 11 months agoThe Departed is a tale of Boston Irish tough guys on both sides of the law. Matt Damon gives the best performance of his career as the creepy and conceited young wiseguy Colin Sullivan who becomes the protege of south Boston's biggest gangster: ageing sociopath Frank Costello, played by Nicholson. Costello secretly sponsors Colin through police academy to become his personal executive-class snitch on the inside. Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio is William Costigan, a moody kid with a brace of uncles known to the authorities, who is now genuinely trying to make it over to the right side of the tracks with a career in the police. He is headhunted by senior intelligence officers, fatherly Martin Sheen and his attack-dog lieutenant Mark Wahlberg, who offer him a new opportunity: use his family connections and credibility to go into deep cover in Costello's gang.
Mean Girls - 4 years, 11 months agoNavigating the minefield of high school can be a tricky business at the best of times. But for Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan), being a new kid at North Shore High makes it all the harder. Janis (Lizzy Caplin) is keenly aware of what one bad rumor can do to topple a reputation. Spurned by the fashionable clique known as the plastics, she and her gay friend Damian (Daniel Franzese), realize the pretty and intelligent Cady (Lindsay Lohan) is the weaponry they need to wreak revenge on the school's Queen Bee and her trendy group.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno - 4 years, 11 months agoSeth Rogen (Zack) and Elizabeth Banks (Miri) are roommates who have known each other since the first grade. Zack works behind the counter at a local coffee shop, while Miri has a dead end job at the mall. Since their jobs suck so hard and Zack likes to spend his money on things like fleshlights they eventually are unable to pay rent and get their heat/electricity/water shut off. They need some quick money, and the light at the end of the tunnel emerges; why not make a porno?
Hostel: Part II - 4 years, 11 months agoI felt the violence in this film was much more controlled and epic, if that is conceivable. In the same film, there is a glorious nod to Elizabeth Bathory as well as a sick joke using Ruggero Deodato, the director of Cannibal Holocaust. And it all works. Also, the way the film ends with one of the most brutally violent comedic jokes in cinema history just makes me think, Wow. It certainly takes guts and talent to go there and actually pull it off. With this film, everything just comes together beautifullyshowing that the filmmaker has definitely come into his own
28 Days Later... - 4 years, 11 months agoThe first half of 28 Days Later is a road movie, as Jim and his companions make their way from London to Manchester using deserted highways and facing nearly constant attacks from roving bands of the infected. The second half is a more straightforward action/adventure. The film contains one significant twist, and Boyle adeptly blends elements of horror and drama with the science fiction. In fact, one of the things that sets this movie apart from many similar cinematic endeavors is its focus on characters rather than action. The movie develops Jim, Selena, Frank, and Hannah into believable individuals. The situation is crafted in a way that seems almost plausible, and, once it establishes the rules, never cheats. The film's "villains" have credible reasons for acting as they do, and the ending doesn't feel cheap or false.
American Gangster - 4 years, 11 months agoAmerican Gangster is based on the true story of Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), a 1970s Harlem drug lord who imported heroin in caskets of American soldiers killed in Vietnam. In one scene, a police officer on horseback waits outside a funeral. Vehicles and crowds were kept at a safe distance from the horse and rider. A trainer helped the actor onto the horse right before filming began and waited just off-camera. The street was closed off to traffic.
Beerfest - 4 years, 11 months agoThe grandfather of Jan (Paul Soder) and Todd Wolfhouse (Erik Stolhanske) has just died, and his wishes were to have his ashes scattered in Germany during Oktoberfest. The brothers jump at the chance to visit Germany during this festival. Upon arrival, they meet up with a man in Germany who takes them to a secret underground club that houses an ancient drinking contest. They immediately get into a confrontation with the German champions, who accuse grandfather Johann von Wolfhaus (Donald Sutherland) of stealing a special beer recipe, and fleeing to America. After being humiliated in a short chug race, the boys vow to avenge that loss and return to Oktoberfest the following year as enhanced drinkers. The recruiting begins, and they draft Landfill (Kevin Heffernan), a larger man who guzzles a deserving amount of food and drink to live up to his name, Fink (Steve Lemme), the crazy scientist who knows all the strategies of beer drinking, and Barry (Jay Chandrasekhar), the guy who was terrific at every drinking game back in college. Together, as representatives of Team USA, the group must train vigorously in order to stand a chance against the Germans in the "Olympics" of beer drinking.
Super Troopers - 4 years, 11 months agoThorny, Rabbit, Mac and Foster are passable Vermont State Troopers. Stationed in the boonies on the Canadian border, they spend the bulk of their time playfully toying with speeders and taking impounded sports cars for spins on the open highway. When they're not on the road, they try to stay on the good side of their fatherly mentor, Captain O'Hagan, and avoid their tactless, thick-necked compatriot, Officer Rod Farva. All in all, they find their work to be pleasantly unchallenging. However, once the state targets their low volume station for a potential budget slash, the guys decide to buckle down to impress the higher ups. Things look bleak until, unexpectedly, the State Troopers' new 'by the book' attitude uncovers a drug smuggling operation running across the border to Canada. Sensing salvation, the Troopers race the clock to crack the ring and save their jobs. But they aren't the only ones in the hunt..
Face/Off - 4 years, 11 months agoFace/Off is by far the best action movie ever. John Travolta and Nicholas Cage are the ultimate rivals in this blast-em-up thriller, and John Woo creates a stimulating movie with great choreography. His film techniques are excellent; the pigeons in the church, the flapping of Cage's jacket as steps outside, and a dozen other scenes... The story is just as good- there actually is one. It will be a long time before we see a movie that tops Face/Off.
Catch Me If You Can - 4 years, 11 months agoFrank Abagnale, Jr. (DiCaprio) worked as a doctor, a lawyer and as a co-pilot for a major airline - all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he was also a brilliant forger whose skill gave him his first real claim to fame. At the age of 17, Frank became the most successful bank robber in the history of the United States. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Hanks) had made it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him, baiting him to continue the chase.
Spun - 4 years, 11 months agoIn this kaleidoscopic grungefest, a group of pretty young crystal-meth junkies bounce off one another like pinballs. The director, Jonas Akerlund, uses stroboscopic cuts, shock sound, and triple-X animated imagery to put us inside the experience of a crank high. Akerlund has an instinct for dirtbag theatrics. Spun is accomplished, but it's also numbing. The cast, slumming for cred, includes Jason Schwartzman, Mena Suvari, and Mickey Rourke, who reigns over the film because he's the one freak on hand who isn't faking his freakishness.
The Shawshank Redemption - 4 years, 11 months agoIn this tale of hope, fear and wishful thinking, Tim Robbins conquers all with his incredible performance as Andy Dufresne, a respectable banker convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. Although pleading not guilty, Dufresne receives a life sentence to Shawshank. There, he befriends Ellis Boyd Red Redding (Morgan Freeman). Red is a respected inmate who knows how to work the system. Their bond quickly grows and Andy becomes respected by many inmates and even some of the guards.
Man on Fire - 4 years, 11 months agoFrom the moment Radha Mitchell's Lisa meets Denzel Washington's Creasy, we know we are in the presence of a real man. Lisa's husband, Samuel (Marc Anthony) is not only a wuss, but he's a refined wealthy foreign wuss. The audience can sense Lisa's relief: something familiar and manly is at hand. And in this revenge flick, Creasy's presence could not be any more timely. Machismo, or the lack thereof, is the subtext of this flick. As soon as ten-year-old Pita (Dakota Fanning) arrives on scene, we know new life will return to Creasy's heart. And when she gives him a St Jude medal (the Saint of Lost Causes) then we know this preternaturally wise kid has found the perfect fatherly soul mate she should have had instead of the wimpy one who actually sired her. But all this regained spiritual life and found love is not to last. After Creasy and Pita have bonded, the little girl becomes a kidnap victim. This in a country where conspiracies hide within schemes within plots.
Observe and Report - 4 years, 11 months agoObserve and Report is not a perfect film, but it does aspire to be something more than a goofy comedy, something that is worthy of your time and money, assuming you think you can stomach it. While there werent as many laughs as I had hoped for, it does present a searing portrait of a tortured soul that, believe it or not, has a lot of things to say about our world. Call it therapeutic if you will, but with Jody Hills direction and the cinematography of frequent David Gordon Green DP Tim Orr, I can certainly see why loose comparisons to Scorseses Taxi Driver have been made. Not only should Jody Hill and Seth Rogen be commended for taking a risk with this movie, so should Warner Brothers for allowing it to happen. My advice: go see this movie right now because it might be a long time before you see something like it on the big screen again. Sean
Meet the Parents - 4 years, 11 months agoThe main character in "Meet The Parents" is a Chicago-based male nurse, Greg Focker (pronounced just how it is spelled) who realizes how unlucky a person can be. He is about to propose to his schoolteacher girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo), when her sister Debbie (Nicole Dehuff) calls and explains that her new fiancé, Dr. Bob Banks (Tom McCarthy), received a blessing from her father before he asked the question. This information makes Greg reconsider his method of choice, and instead jumps at the opportunity to meet Pam's overprotective parents when they fly to the east coast two weeks later to arrange Debbie's wedding.
The 40 Year Old Virgin - 4 years, 11 months agoThe 40 Year Old Virgin is proof that motion picture comedies can still be funny. Sadly, the kind of consistent humor delivered by this film happens too rarely. The movie Wedding Crashers, for example ,should have been: rude, raunchy, uproarious, yet with elements that are surprisingly sweet. Unlike Wedding Crashers, which loses its edge (and a lot of its humor) early, The 40 Year Old Virgin keeps it up for nearly two hours. Yes, it's a little long, but there are still plenty of laughs remaining in the final 30 minutes, and the movie reserves one of its best jokes for last.
Superbad - 4 years, 11 months agoSuperbad is stuck together out of pretty standard stuff. Its another iteration on the Fast Times at Ridgemont High clone genre, another story about a pair of losers who want to get laid before they leave high school and set off for college. It tries, valiantly, to set itself apart from the pack by making the bosom buddy friendship between those losers the focal point of the film as a way of getting us invested in them, but personally I never bought it as anything other than a slightly more entertaining than usual teen raunch-com

Position the owls and the heart onto the card how you want them, and then stick them in place with small pieces of double sided tape - craft glue would also work, but it can distort the card slightly.

Courgettes need lots of water, so it's a good idea to put a plant pot in the ground close to each plant and water into it - that way the water goes to the roots, where it's most needed. If you're growing pumpkins and squashes make sure that you've got enough space, as they can take up quite a lot of room in your veg patch! You could grow them on the top of an open compost heap, where they'll be perfectly happy.

Forrest Fenn is a Santa Fe, N.Mex. art dealer with a bustling, eight-room gallery, but one of his most prized acquisitions is a 36-inch alligator, Beowulf, who inhabits a pond on the gallery grounds. In artsy Santa Fe, riddled with some 110 galleries, lots of folks think they detect a resemblance between Beowulf and his owner.
It is an unkind comparison, no doubt the result of professional envy of a colleague who makes big waves and bigger bucks. The controversial and flamboyant Fenn grosses about $6 million a year by flouting tradition. His collection may politely be called eclectic: a jumble of Indian artifacts and curios, mixed with expensive paintings and bronzes. He openly sells forgeries of Modigliani, Monet and Degas, and he gets good money for them to boot. Indignant colleagues grumble, but Fenn doesn't snap like an alligator; he only smiles like one. He gets most of the celebrity collectors who come to town.
Charming one moment, gruff the next, Fenn admits that his flair has created a flap. "The art business is like religion," he says. "You can lose money or break even, but if you make money, you get a dirty name." That doesn't sound quite like a definition of religion nor does it appease his detractors. "Forrest is a great promoter," says Gerald Peters, whose Santa Fe gallery competes with Fenn's. "He has a marvelous sense of the moment." Los Angeles gallery owner Steve Rose, who frequently does business with Fenn admires his style but understands why others don't "For one thing he's a better merchandiser than most of us," Rose says "and he makes a lot of money. Most of the dealers who have grumbled about him are small ones who are jealous of his success."
Fenn makes no claims to the finer things in the art business. A high school graduate who put in 20 years as a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, he arrived in Santa Fe 14 years ago with a shoe shine, a smile and $20,000 in savings, and set himself up in a business he knew little about. "I never studied art, didn't own a painting and didn't know anybody who did," he says. But the pilot, who says he survived 328 combat missions in Vietnam, is adept at landing on his feet. "It doesn't matter who you are," he argues, "it only matters who they think you are. It's true in Hollywood, in politics and it's true with a painting."
Following that principle, Fenn tucked his showrooms off Santa Fe's main strip and enclosed them behind 11-foot-high adobe-and-stone walls. In addition to the pond, the elegant grounds feature a garden, exotic birds and three guest houses. One of them, attached to the gallery, is stocked with volumes of books, fine wines and $1 million in art. When the rich visit Santa Fe, Fenn scoops them up at the airport in his limo and lodges them free of charge in one of the houses. Jackie Onassis, former President Ford and Cher are among those who have been pampered with catered meals, a Jacuzzi, steam room and a masseuse. Many, notably Steve Martin, have also bought art.
One of Fenn's repeat customers is Robert Redford, who collects Eric Sloane oils priced up to $15,000. Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange picked up Western art, and Steven Spielberg carted away a Charles Russell bronze. Ethel Kennedy bought an antique Chinese incense burner and raved about it. "One day," says Fenn, "Andy Williams came in and said, 'Ethel Kennedy said I just had to come in.' There were about 50 people in the room and all their eyes went zonk."
Suzanne Somers met Fenn during a search for a Georgia O'Keeffe painting. "He is an incredible host," says Somers. "To lie in the bed in that guest house and see the most incredible library and be surrounded by fabulous art and pueblo pottery was a feast." Guests aren't obligated to buy, but as one art colleague puts it, "Forrest doesn't miss a chance." Nearly everything—furnishings, artwork, baskets—carries a price tag. At the end of her stay, Somers had bought several Navajo rugs and some Indian jewelry. As for starting her O'Keeffe collection, she says, "When I do decide to buy one, it will be from Forrest."
Fenn encourages gallery browsing with signs that read: "Please touch. We are responsible." Customers can handle any of 2,000 Indian bowls, moccasins and arrowheads. Big spenders might be drawn to a $375,000 painting that Corot signed on his deathbed, or a $350,000 Remington bronze. Fenn's collection of fine fakes (owned in partnership with Texas' ex-Gov. John Connally) is the work of the late master forger Elmyr de Hory, who fooled many an expert in his time. But why sell phonies? Says Fenn: "If you love it less when you see the signature who now is the fake?" That challenge has shamed buyers into taking 26 De Horys so far, at $9,500 a shot.
Fenn claims an inventory worth $20 million and presides over it all with a staff of 16 and a seemingly cavalier attitude. "Does the guy at One Hour Martinizing love dirty clothes?" Fenn asks, knowing the answer full well. "Does the guy selling used cars like clunkers? Art is a business, and what I love is the business. I'm not particularly into art."
Fenn, who was born 55 years ago in Temple, Texas, has a bottom-line style that was shaped in the Air Force, where he won 25 decorations, including the Silver Star. Stationed in Lubbock, Texas at the end of his stint, he began buying sculptures from struggling artists and casting limited-edition bronzes of them. Some of the bronzes he sold for cash, but the rest he traded for Indian artifacts. When he was ready for retirement, the hobby provided an inventory for opening an art gallery, which seemed the logical next step.
The business allows Fenn and his wife of 32 years, Peggy, to live comfortably in a spectacularly appointed apartment over the gallery. Fenn collects rare and historical books and takes an occasional day off for a desert walk, fishing or piloting his single-engine airplane. "When I was a kid," he says, by way of explaining his passion, "I played Monopoly. I have always thought of myself as one who plays Monopoly. That's what I'm doing here."
Rivals Scorn His Santa Fe Gallery, but Forrest Fenn Baskets the Cash

A new leader in the Heritage Frostbite Race Series cruiser class
Weather conditions created certain challenges for the fifth race in the Heritage Frostbite race series last Saturday.
The race courses set for this race were fairly long with the racer class following a route that took the boats south of Jethou and the cruisers (unusually) having three downwind legs. These caused certain difficulties in the strong winds and several crews who opted to raise spinnakers had some trouble controlling them.
Competition in the cruiser class is certainly hotting up. Enigma, skippered by Heritage's Mark Huntley, has now taken the overall lead following what was described as a flawless race on Saturday beating Dave Aslett's Carpe Diem by just a few seconds. The fight for top spot is between these two and last year's winner Dave Herschel who had a strong start on Saturday in Bunbury, but lost valuable time with a mis-rounding of the Vivian mark.
The racer class still seems to be a 'two horse race' between Blackjack and Kaya who are now tied in first spot after Blackjack's success on Saturday. They enjoy a comfortable lead over others in this class on the overall results tables. Blue J'Ade (Aden Clark) and Banjaard (John Falla) also had a good day on Saturday coming third and fourth respectively and zooming up the table.
Heritage's Gordon Wilson – who took fourth in the cruiser class – is delighted with how the series is panning out:
'The results of The Heritage Frostbite series to date ably demonstrate that consistency is key to winning overall. Competition amongst skippers and crew is keen. This coupled with experience and teamwork aboard the yachts will differentiate the winners. It has been a very enjoyable and successful series so far.'
The next event in the seven race series is on 22nd March and the final race on 5th April. Full results details and a selection of photographs can be found at www.frostbite.gg.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Garth Brooks says he's never seen anything like the reaction he's gotten since it was announced that he will share the stage tonight with George Strait for the first time during the Academy of Country Music Awards (CBS, 8 o'clock).
Brooks and Strait will pay tribute to the show's late executive producer Dick Clark.
"Everywhere I go, restaurants, stores, whatever — 'Hey, you're gonna be singing with George.' 'Hey, we can't wait to see you with George,'" Brooks said. "It's so cool. It's like getting to sing with someone that's attained a level that you only get if you die. They love him and worship him and I'm in line with everybody else."

To the editor:
I'll be at the QuickChek N.J. Balloon Festival this weekend. The three-day event at Solberg Airport in Readington is always spectacular. A 5K race, good food, great music and many family fun activities will precede the launching of about 120 balloons. As I've mentioned before I'd be terrified to go up in one, but love to see this show. Following is my philosophy about height: I'll go up as high as you want me to as long as I can "keep one foot on the ground."
What's your favorite city to visit? I still enjoy my return trips to New York City while my wife always likes to stop in Savannah, Georgia on any southern trip we take.
My Mom, now 97 years young, likes to kid me- "you didn't listen to me when you were young and you don't listen to me now."
I much prefer to wear loafers instead of sneakers or shoes with laces. My back appreciates this because I don't have to bend down to tie them.
It may seem like a little thing, but I will always hold the door open for the person behind me. I also appreciate them doing this for me and let them know this is a nice gesture. It's so easy to say "thank you."

Halloween is just around the corner, so what better liquor to feature than Strega (Italian for witch). Legend has it that the town of Benevento, where Strega has been made since 1860, was the meeting ground of all the witches of the world. I keep picturing a gaggle of witches sitting around a bubbling cauldron, cackling and stirring the 70 ghoulish ingredients that make up this liquor. Beyond the connection to Halloween, You've got to love the tradition. Today Strega is …
Suze Gentiane Liqueur is a bitter aperitif that's been produced in France since 1889. Although, I did hear this latest recipe has been toned down a bit for the modern consumer. It's creator, Fernand Moureaux, centered this liqueur around the flavor from yellow gentian root. The wild gentian is harvested from the mountains of the Jura and Auvergne regians. Gentian root is the main ingredient in bitters and is the main culprit for the bitter properties. Other notable flavors are vanilla and …
Crillon Importers hired me to create an original cocktail featuring their absinthe, Grande Absente. Grande Absente is an absinthe that's hand crafted in Provence, France just as it was in 1860. That means it has a full measure of wormwood and is 138 proof.
Zucca's bittersweet flavor profile is somewhere between Campari and Amaro with a highlight of smokey, earthy, wood tones. So consider this when you are coming up with cocktail recipes to utilize this liqueur in. When sipping you may detect the flavors of gentian, cardamom, vanilla, smoke and a hint of citrus.
A gastrique is a caramelized sugar, deglazed with vinegar that is often used by gourmet chefs as a thick, sweet-and-sour sauce. But what's good for the goose is good for the gander. A gastrique can help you brighten the flavor and color palette of your favorite cocktail recipes. The recipe for my cherry gastrique is below, but feel free to experiment with different vinegars such as red wine, champagne or cider vinegars. Try pairing these vinegars with other accent flavors …

Courthouse not a doghouse?
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has been asked to determine whether a sixteen-year-old miniature dachshund can be banned from from the Titus County Courthouse.
That request came from Titus County Attorney John Mark Cobern after commissioners banned all animals from the courthouse last month.
"The primary reason for bringing my dog to the county office was to make my office a safer work environment," Cobern wrote in his request for an attorney general opinion. "My job responsibilities require me to interact with pro-se criminal defendants and parents whose parental rights may be terminated, among others. This frequently results in having to interact with the mentally ill and potentially unstable individuals. These are the types of individuals who are prone to extreme acts of violence such as the mass shootings we have witnessed recently.
Cobern added that it has been his experience that a dog's presence "often can have a calming effect" on such individuals..
"With the violence directed towards prosecutors, I feel that a dog's presence in my office makes my work environment safer," he wrote.
Here's what Cobern sent the AG.

F-U payroll tax increase.....that's all!!!!!!!!!!!
Government won't curb spending! Especially not the OA administration
I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.
Mama to my boys:
A (9/5/2010) and L (8/27/2013)
Maybe if I have a fudgesickle I will feel better???? You might be on to something JTSmith...lol
Yes we were. The gov takes our money and spends it on pet projects and then argue about cutting necessary social programs. Maybe they should stop funding all their stupid pet projects and giving ridiculous tax cuts to industries that dont need them. If they did that I would be perfectly happy paying "more" taxes.
I'm naming my kid Wiycndkgj. It's pronounced Josh.--Feministeph
I should be arrested----for human trafficking, b/c I'm pretty sure I just owned you.
Lets see, housing prices are still crap, people are foreclosing left and right, gas prices are over $3, unemployment is high, etc, etc
Housing prices are going up, foreclosures are way down, unemployment is dropping, and gas is a limited resource. I guess I don't see how the worls is in the crapper.
Granted this doesn't account for any other increases to retirement, health insurance, Flex Spending accounts, etc. It only accounts for the 2% SS increase.
The increase is:
$35/paychceck if paid twice a month
