I forgot to mention that usually there is a saddle between the mast and antenna mounting plate and the u-bolt squeezes everything together. It is important that the radius of the saddle and U-bolt match your mast size.

If you install the Yaseu DXA1000 per the instructions, it will not slip without breaking something. I am not familiar with SteppIR's mounting brackets, however most antennas are mounted with U-Bolts around a mast. Are you using the correct size mast and of sufficient strength to not collapse when tightening? Where the mounting bolts tight when you installed the antenna?. The element SteppIR is not a big antenna and slipping should not be a problem, especially in only 30MPH winds.

The Destination
New Hampshire's White Mountains are a symbol of New England's simultaneous grit and grace. Sunsets through the region's iconic birch trees make for an ethereal scene, and thousands of acres of wilderness appeal to that quintessential American value: Rugged individualism. Romantics, mountaineers, and wildlife seekers will find a haven in these rocky hills, but the small towns that dot the valleys offer country-style comforts in homegrown artisan shops, restaurants, and coffeehouses.
The Digs
Tucked away in White Mountain National Forest, The Notchland Inn is a romantic country hideaway set inside an 1860s granite mansion. Each room is individually decorated and boasts a wood-burning fireplace, a king- or queen-size bed, and elegant embellishments. Start your day with a country breakfast for two, and end it with a five-course prix-fixe dinner before snuggling up by the fireplace to soak in your storybook surroundings.

Hillcrest Elementary School welcomes new principal
When Hillcrest Elementary School students started school Sept. 6, fellow students weren't the only new faces at the school. A new principal, Paula Seaman, greeted students and staff, all smiles as she directed kids to their classrooms and asked how teachers' summer vacations went.
"It's just a wonderful place to work!" Seaman exclaimed, her high energy, personable disposition obvious as she pointed out the flowering courtyard cleared by Navy personnel over the summer and the new flooring installed in hallways and classrooms.
This is Seaman's ninth year working for the Oak Harbor School District. She worked at Crescent Harbor Elementary School as a Title I teacher for six years, then worked as an administrator at Broad View Elementary School for one year. Last year, she acted as project manager for the Department of Defense grant to improve literacy skills at the elementary level. She spent some of that time working as a literacy coach at Hillcrest Elementary School.
Becoming a principal has been on Seaman's mind for years. The position at Hillcrest opened up after Laura Schonberg, the principal for four years, requested a transfer to become assistant principal at North Whidbey Middle School. She wanted to return to the challenges found at the secondary level in a position similar to the one she'd held before coming to Oak Harbor, according to Joe Hunt, school district communications director.
"The opportunity came up at the right time for me and I wanted to stay in this community," Seaman said, adding that she loves Oak Harbor and its Navy presence.
Hillcrest has 603 students enrolled this year and Seaman said the school will give them a wonderful education.
"The staff is absolutely amazing. They're very focused on children. It's just a great place for kids and everybody is so focused on what's important," Seaman said.
Her focus as principal this year will be on differentiated instruction, a model that emphasizes giving students instruction in the areas individually needed, and supporting teachers and staff so that everyone works together better.
"We're all going to move forward together," Seaman said.
She also plans to educate the community about the levy to ensure it will pass.
"I'll make sure the community knows how important it is," Seaman said.
The excitement of the first day of school continued for Seaman even as children entered their classrooms.
"It feels like home," she said. "It's just a great place to be. I love coming to work everyday. I get up in the morning and look forward to coming to work.
"Hillcrest is unstoppable this year!"

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant said that new head coach Chip Kelly has a "rhyme and reason" for everything done at the team's OTAs.
Here's some of the rhymes played during Tuesday's Eagles practice at NovaCare.
Big Tymers - Still Fly
Flo Rida - Good Feeling
Lupe Fiasco - Show goes on
Havana Brown - We run the night
Kanye West - All of the lights
Drake - Ready for you
The Doop Song - Flyers and Union goal anthem
Icona Pop - I love it
David Guetta ft. NeYo - Play Hard
The practice fittingly ended – as the team gets as close to live scrimmaging as possible with no pads — with a compilation of what seemed to be off the soundtrack from Braveheart.

More About This Wine
About Chateau Rayas
Historically cited as the exception that proves that a 100%-Grenache wine can be capable of long aging, Rayas has for decades been treasured for its unique combination of almost Burgundian red-berry perfume and extraordinary liqueur-like ripeness and mouth-filling richness. Founded in 1880 by Albert Reynaud, Chateau Rayas is now maintained by Albert's great-grandson, Emmanuel.
2004 Chateau Rayas Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Producer: Chateau Rayas
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Rhone Blend
Origin: France
Region: Rhone
Appellation: Chateauneuf du Pape
94 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2007
Medium red. Stunning floral and red berry aromas emphasize raspberry, strawberry and fresh lavender. Bright, focused and pure, with vibrant red fruit and mineral flavors given an exotic twist by a hint of dried apricot. The sweet finish leaves a strong floral pastille impression. The freshness and precision of this wine are really captivating.

Pregame Notes for Today
John Danks is 4-1 with a 2.48 ERA (11 ER/40.0 IP) in six career starts vs. Oakland
White Sox starters are 3-0 with a 1.99 ERA (9 ER/40.2 IP) on the homestand, with 27 hits allowed and 35 strikeouts.
The Sox have led in all 11 games this season, with two of their four losses coming when leading entering the ninth inning.
Chicago's bullpen has converted one of six save chances.
A.J. Pierzynski needs 2.2 IC to tie Terry Kennedy for 24th all-time with 11,178.1.
Paul Konerko needs one home run to tie Ralph Kiner for 69th place all-time with 369.
Carlos Quentin has 99 career homers.
Alexei Ramirez recorded his first career multihomer game, including the first game-ending shot of his career, to give the White Sox a 6-5 victory over Oakland in 10 innings.
Ramirez, who finished with four RBI, became the first shortstop in Sox history with a multihomer game, including a game-ender (Elias) … it was the 40th "walkoff" home run in U.S. Cellular Field history and first since Alex Rios on 4/24/10 vs. Seattle.
Sergio Santos threw 2.0 IP for his fifth straight scoreless outing to open the season (7.2 IP), and Chris Sale earned the victory with 2.0 scoreless IP to close the game.
Adam Dunn (appendectomy) went 1-4 with a walk in his return to the lineup after missing six games, and 43-year-old Omar Vizquel collected three hits.
Alexei Ramirez has hit three home runs in 40 at-bats, one more than his career March/April total of two in 180 at-bats entering the season.
Prior to this season, Ramirez's only other career April homers came on 4/25/09 vs. Toronto and 4/15/10 at Toronto.

Someone please remind me, there is only 9 innings in a baseball game right? 🙂
Here's to winning in 9 today, winning another series and a day game to make working today even more fun!! WOOT!
Pleased to hear Milledge cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Charlotte. Kid has a tremendous upside if we can help him get his head right.
Roll SOX.
Good info Scott. The bullpen has converted one of six save chances. Wow! That is brutal. Hopefully the Sox can win today by a big margin so that the bullpen is not needed. You can dream, right? 8-4 would look really good.
I forgot to say, what is up JK?
How about a run?
Ok Sale, bring it home.
Yikes, 1 run alread across and two more on with nobody out. Where are my Tums?
He gone! 2 to go!
He gone! 1 to go!
And now a tie game. 3 pitchers and we can't protect a 3-run lead. I've got to leave work now, so hopefully I'll get home to some good news in the bottom of the 9th.
Let's get a run here, because I don't really want to see anyone from our bullpen again today!
Interesting note: I'm watching the game on my local station, listening to the A's announcers. They were very puzzled at Ozzie bringing Sale in after he threw 34 pitches last night. Looks like their skepticism was justified.
Can you say UNREAL? Come on Boys end it here in the ninth…..Go Sox'11…j.k.
The forum is a brighter place thkans to your posts. Thanks!
I have to agree with you Peggy, I'd have brought in Crain first and then gone from there, but hindsight is 20-20…. Come on Boys…..
I knew I didn't want anyone at all from our shaky-flaky bullpen to face any more A's! The A's can't get out of town fast enough for me.
This Sox team has some real strengths and some scary weaknesses. I like that we can score runs with 2 outs, and our starting pitching is pretty darn good. I think it will take some complete games from our starters for us to win games. The hitting is pretty decent, but not always in the clutch.
In my opinion, the biggest weakness is the genuine crisis with our bullpen and with the way Ozzie manages it. If it isn't fixed quickly, this season will be over before it starts.
Let's hope we can score 4 runs and win this game!
And for whatever reason, Matt Thornton is a mental mess right now. Our failure to get outs in the ninth is (insert expletive). I guess our starters when having a good game will have to go the distance…… CRUD!!! Come on Boys, regroup….
The bullpen is total garbage!!!!!!!!!!!
Hawk said it best: " one run on 7 hits in 16 innings pitched by MB and JD and we lose both games". That is unacceptable.
Enjoy the day off, but it doesn't get any easier with the Angels pitching staff…….. Go Sox'11…..j.k.
Well, I had a post all typed out and it vanished. So here it goes again…
I'm not going to rant because you all covered everything for me. But there is something I am concerned about… After the first or second blown game everyone was all oh, don't worry about it, Thornton wasn't mad at JP, no one was upset that Matt blew it. Now, after leading in EVERY GAME sso far this season and 4 blown games, my concern is this is going to start affecting everyone else. Coming out of camp everyone was loose, having fun, now, I hope that won't change. But seriously, don't the starters have to be starting to get irritated? Don't the hitters that have been just going gonzo on hits, have to be getting fed up? I wonder if this will affect the good chemistry of this team into something else.
Oh, and yeah, the bullpen stinks right now.
On a happier note: Hey white sox, how did you get that cool logo, when the rest of us simply got a colorful ink blot?
I'm almost done shaking my head now. Whoops, there it goes again. I have never seen such futility this early in a season from any team, and it's mind boggling! but…
We are in a decent place right now at 7-5. It's how we got there that hurts so much, Without the four blown games late we could have been as much as 11-1. No one could expect us to have a record like that, but if we had won even half of those clunkers we'd be at 9-3. This is our first series loss of the year and won't be our last as you all know, but I hope that the thoughts of Marie don't come to fruition. That would be devastating.
Whatever happens to our pen, it will improve in ninth inning efficiency. Won't it? This comedy of errors has had enough play, it's time to start grinding out our wins again. Go Sox'11…..j.k.
Hey JK. It was pretty easy to get the white sox logo. Click on your logo and it will take you to the Gravatar website. Create an account and you will get an email. Then find a logo online. Then ckick on the logo you like and save it to "your pictures." Then on the Gravatar site go to add image. Then click "My computers hardrive." Get pic from your pictures. Then crop and upload pic. When you are done you may have to go to Tools, Internet Options, delete Temporary Internet Files. This will get rid of your old logo. Here is a website with a lot of logos. I hope this wasn't too much info. Good luck!
Thanks sox for the info: next time how about in English? JK (just kidding) I'm pretty computer illiterate, but thanks anyway. I think my ink blot looks like the top of a circus tent. I'm SO happy……(:
Cool! Marie. I'll stick with my tent for now though. One last thought before beddie-bye for me: Our team IS playing well and so far ONLY one thing (our pen obviously) is broke. When we fix that we should be ready roll…… Night all….Go Sox'11….j.k.
I didn't even want to respond when I got home yesterday, but after much contemplating, I'm glad I waited. I was about to make a serious rant about the bullpen that would have been much harsher in hindsight.
Anyway, I don't really know what to add to what has already been said. The bullpen stinks. They just flat out stink at the moment. On the bright side though, we are on pace to win 94 games this year, and that is in large part to a very productive offense that has not had their usual slow start at the beginning of the season. And after a couple of hiccups, the starting pitching has hit a groove. As JK said, the ONLY thing that is hurting us right now is the bullpen. And while I can only hope that something clicks with the bullpen soon, I worry that once it does, another aspect of our game will begin to struggle. Usually, if our pitching is solid, our offense is weak, and vice versa. I'll gladly take good starting pitching and a potent offense over a shaky bullpen right now, but I hope for the day when all 3 are working harmoniously.
I also agree with Marie in that I hope this doesn't affect the team chemistry moving forward. Ozzie is already fustrated and has been vocal about it, but I'm sure the other guys are frustrated too. It's one thing to lose by 3 runs, but it's a totally different thing when you lose by 3 when you were up by 3 in the 9th. I hope the guys can shake it off during this off day and get ready for the Halos this weekend. Go White Sox!
P.S. – I almost didn't want to bring this up, but I wonder what that bum Bobby Jenks is thinking right now? Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of what he did for our team, but I'm still irrated by the comments he made earlier.
Hey JK, I'm sure Marie would help you get a logo. You just need to signup on the Gravatar site and then email her your password. Here is the site.
jk, I would love to help you get an good logo and I know just the one for you. If you do sign up at that site above (and all it requires is your email address and a password) email your password to me and I'll set you up!
Hey, I can say for sure we will NOT blow a game today! 🙂
I feel like an expectant father! My "tent" will soon morph into a …. What? Thank you for the kind offer of assistance, MariE (remember that?) and white sox (name please?)… Go Sox'11 j.k.
And Voila! Just like that, my tent became the 1917 logo from the hat I wore to blog day III. Thank you MariE! You da Gal!.
Hi Peggy, if it doesn't appear you have to open the internet page, go to tools, internet options, and then delete your temporary internet files to take away your old logo. Thank heavens for white sox for getting us all cool logos!
white sox – what is your first name?

Some Smog in Pledges To Help Environment
By JOHN HOLUSHA
Published: April 19, 1990
On the bottom of the paperboard container that McDonald's uses for its hash-brown potatoes is the three-arrow symbol that generally denotes a product made of recycled material, and the words ''Recyclable Paper.'' But McDonald's officials concede that the package is not made of recycled paper, is not being recycled and may not even be capable of being recycled because of a promotional label glued to the back.
''It's a little embarrassing,'' said Shelby Yastrow, McDonald's senior vice president for environmental affairs. ''We're going to take the recycling logo off everything except what we are actually recycling.''
Meaningless, False Claims
Such labeling typifies what many environmentalists view as a flood of meaningless, irrelevant or false claims being made by corporations trying to look environmentally sensitive, or green. With the 20th anniversary of Earth Day approaching, and major environmental legislation like the clean air measure nearing passage, the number of such claims has been increasing.
To be sure, many American companies have made sincere efforts in recent months to improve their environmental record. McDonald's, for example, said this week that it would spend $100 million on recycled construction materials used in building and remodeling its restaurants. Last week, the Star-Kist subsidiary of H. J. Heinz said it would stop buying tuna caught by methods that injure dolphins, and most of the industry quickly followed.
But spokesmen for environmental organizations say other moves have been merely window dressing.
''The nature of American business has not changed,'' said Alan Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council. ''Right now the environment is a marketing trend they have to respond to. Three years from now, they will be doing something else as socioeconomic issues change.''
Examples of claims that are not what they seem to be abound. Some marketers of cosmetics labeled ''cruelty free'' may not have actually tested the ingredients in them on animals for toxicity. But the ingredients are often purchased from companies that did such testing, said Jacquelyn Ottman, a marketing consultant in New York.
Claims that a particular brand of toilet paper is made from recycled paper may be similarly confusing, said researchers at Arthur D. Little Inc., a consulting firm. ''What the consumer may not realize is that almost all toilet paper on the market today is made from recycled fibers,'' the consulting company said in a recent report.
An 'Ozone Friendly' Spray
Hubert H. Humphrey 3d, the Attorney General of Minnesota, recently cited the case of a hair-care product, White Rain Styling Mousse, that was labeled ''ozone friendly,'' apparently because it had eliminated ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons as a propellant. For one thing, such CFC's are banned by Federal regulation from all but a few aerosol products. Worse, he added that the substitute, with volatile organic solvents like butane and propane, was an important contributor to smog closer to earth.
Another product cited by Mr. Humphrey as making misleading claims is Arrid Extra Dry deodorant, for which some cans proclaim, ''Safe for the Ozone Layer.''
Mr. Humphrey and seven other state law enforcement officers, including New York's, recently formed a group to challenge deceptive or misleading environmental claims for products.
Under pressure from the group and the Federal Trade Commission, the Mobil Corporation recently said it would remove the term ''degradable'' from boxes of its Hefty plastic trash bags. The bags contain a chemical agent that promotes degradation in the presence of sunlight, but because the vast majority end up buried in landfills, the claim was misleading, the officials said. First Brands, which makes Glad Bags, took similar action.
Mr. Humphrey said at a recent conference on packaging that unless false or meaningless environmental claims are curbed, ''consumers will grow as disillusioned about the environment as they are about cholesterol.''
''Wrapping a product in a green package is not enough,'' he added.
Caution on Claims
The drive to appear green is being fueled by the rising environmental consciousness of American consumers. ''Just as the 80's saw a proliferation of 'light' products designed to meet growing health awareness, the 90's will be the decade of 'green' products,'' said Dorothy MacKenize, head of product development for the Michael Peters Group, a package design firm.
But environmental advocates say claims that products are labeled ''environmentally friendly'' and ''good for the environment'' should be treated with the skepticism reserved for foods said to be ''organic'' or ''cholesterol free.''
''Many of these claims are dubious at best and outright wrong at worst,'' said Jonathan Schorsch, a researcher with the Council on Economic Priorities, a consumer-oriented group.
''Caveat emptor still holds,'' Mr. Schorsch said. ''Just because a polystyrene container is labeled recyclable, it does not mean much if the nearest recycling plant is hundreds of miles away.''

TRENTON — The state Senate today passed a bill to increase penalties for anyone whose road rage causes injuries to others.
The bill (S1468) is called "Jessica Rogers' Law," after a Hamilton teen who was paralyzed from the chest down in a 2005 accident. The driver of the car Rogers was in was convicted of two counts of assault by auto and served four months in prison, according to bill sponsor Linda Greenstein (D-Mercer).
The Senate passed the measure today 39 to 0. The Assembly is scheduled to take it up later this afternoon.
Under the bill, assault by auto or road rage that causes serious injuries would be upgraded to a third degree offense punishable by up to five years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine. Road rage that causes less serious injuries would be a fourth degree offense resulting in up to 18 months in prison and a fine of as much as $10,000.
The bill overwhelmingly passed the Assembly last year, but had stalled in the Senate.

Harold and Kumar is gleefully offensive to all. You'll never look at babies or waffles the same way again.
Julian Roman - MovieWeb
In its shaggy, pleasure-bombed, '80s-meets-2011 way, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is a deft and generous comedy...
Owen Gleiberman - Entertainment Weekly
If the sight of a baby covered in powdered cocaine offends you, you are an idiot for having gone to a Harold and Kumar movie.
Neil Genzlinger - New York Times
Harold and Kumar's Christmas movie is silly, if uneven, fun. While it mocks 3-D technology, it also makes relatively fresh use of it and qualifies as the most ambitious of the trio of films.
Claudia Puig - USA Today
While not as funny as the original, 2004's "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," it's still a modest improvement over the 2008 sequel, "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay."
Michael O'Sullivan - Washington Post
Leave it to a "Harold & Kumar'' movie to expose modern 3-D for the tawdry gimmick it is while understanding that's at least half the enjoyment.
Ty Burr - Boston Globe
The third installment still reads as angry, but the ire comes across as self-loathing, the filmmakers unable to mask their cynicism about their own project.
Melissa Anderson - Village Voice
Not only did I laugh, I was finally convinced that the film's heart, such as it is, was in the right place.
Glenn Kenny - MSN Movies
It's not that I was particularly offended; it's that I didn't laugh very much.
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
The 3-D only makes the general not-funniness that much closer.
Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune
[A] relentless barrage of tasteless gags, most of them damned funny.
J. R. Jones - Chicago Reader
Two cheers for Harold & Kumar 3D.
Carrie Rickey - Philadelphia Inquirer
This film will stuff your stocking with profane, perverse, politically incorrect glee.
Colin Covert - Minneapolis Star Tribune
Harold & Kumar is all about Cho and Penn, who make the doofus duo into likable, harmless, upbeat characters who happen to be blasted a good deal of the time. 3D Christmas is proudly ridiculous stuff.
Tom Long - Detroit News
"A Very Harold & Kumar 3-D Christmas" is what you would expect from the third film in an unlikely franchise: less of the same.
Bill Goodykoontz - Arizona Republic
By now, Cho and Penn have got their Asian-American Abbott-and-Costello routine down so cold, they're a pleasure to spend time with even if the proceedings are less than inspired.
Justin Chang - Variety
Goes out of its way to offend virtually everyone, including Mexicans, Jews, African- Americans and especially evangelical Christians.
Lou Lumenick - New York Post
Seriously, someday you guys are going to sober up, catch this on video and wonder what gave you the giggles all those White Castle runs ago.
Roger Moore - Orlando Sentinel
Neil Patrick Harris makes a quip that he'll see the guys in the fourth feature. Let's put a stop to that notion right now. That's all I want for Christmas, dudes.
Linda Barnard - Toronto Star
The resulting hodge-podge of low-brow gags and winking humor is surprisingly spirited, and has the distinct advantage of not being as immediately dated as half of the humor in Guantanamo already is.
William Goss - Film.com
The laughs may not be as strong as they were the first time, and the sense of discovering something fantastically illicit may have faded to mellow, familiar charms that come with the occasional giggle fit, but that's life as a stoner comedy.
Dave McGinn - Globe and Mail
It's pretty much one ridiculous set-piece after another, and you absolutely don't need to be wasted to enjoy them.
Andrew O'Hehir - Salon.com
This third movie, a proudly unambitious buddy comedy, brings the franchise back to home turf, both geographically and thematically.
Dana Stevens - Slate
If there's a complaint to be made, it's that the humor could be less scattershot.
James Berardinelli - ReelViews
Deborah Young - Hollywood Reporter
A mildly diverting naughty comedy, lacking the pure comic nastiness of Bad Santa or the sheer audacity of Up in Smoke.
Kirk Honeycutt - Hollywood Reporter
This third film in the Harold & Kumar franchise is inordinately jacked up with visual effects and peppy holiday music, but nothing can disguise the fact that this series has run out of steam.
Christy Lemire - Associated Press
A fourth Harold & Kumar? Who knows. But the third one finally wears down the disapproval of reluctant viewers with its cheerful demeanor and a late heart transplant.
Richard Corliss - TIME Magazine
H&K are past their sell-by date. Way past.
Peter Travers - Rolling Stone
Of course it's offensive and crude. It's also hilarious at times.
Richard Roeper - Richard Roeper.com
I was glad to see them again, but it's probably time for them to go get their lives fully together now
Will Leitch - Deadspin
While there's no mistaking a Harold & Kumar movie for something that's going win an Oscar, movie fans shouldn't be so quick to dismiss these 21st century incarnations of Cheech and Chong as purely shallow entertainment.
Kristal Cooper - We Got This Covered
Roger Moore
Falls short of being a holiday classic or an enjoyable 3D experience - meaning, in the end, it's little more than another Harold and Kumar film.
Ben Kendrick - ScreenRant
A funny, memorable romp through metafictional sequel land, and a pleasingly Christmasy grossout film to boot.
William Bibbiani - CraveOnline
What started as a beautiful one-off, extended in a pretty decent sequel, has now grown gray at the edges.
Rob Gonsalves - eFilmCritic.com
David Ramsey - allesfilm.com
Cho and Penn continue to be a likable pair who work well off each other and it's fun to spend time with them, even in the movie's off moments.
Eric Goldman - IGN Movies
Funny in spots, but the story and characters have almost nowhere to go. The direction feels aimless and crafted like a DTV film. In other words, this is an enormously disappointing threequel.
R. L. Shaffer - IGN DVD
The "let's find a Christmas tree" plot is more in the vein of the original than the outlandish Guantanamo Bay plot was, and the Cho/Penn chemistry remains charming.
Mike McGranaghan - Aisle Seat
A raunchy and religiously-incorrect roller coaster ride for the very-open minded, not to be mistaken for one of those sentimental Christmas yarns you usually see during the holiday season.
Kam Williams - NewsBlaze
For me, this was the best 'Harold & Kumar' film yet. Unfortunately, the film still comes off as too juvenile in its humor to have pleased this adult for very long.
John J. Puccio - Movie Metropolis
The strain to continually push the envelope of altered-state-friendly absurdity is starting to show.
Michael Dequina - TheMovieReport.com
They keep the tone just right, and the strong, external humor by original writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg sustains it.
Jeffrey M. Anderson - Combustible Celluloid
The dialogue isn't snappy while the physical comedy is predictable
Sam Bathe - Fan The Fire
It's mostly unfunny, stupid and juvenile.
Roz Laws - Birmingham Post
Few will find all of it funny, a fair number will find none of it so, and some will exit in high dudgeon.
Philip French - Observer [UK]
Not nearly as subversive as it purports to be, but fittingly witty and wintry nonetheless.
Ahmed Peerbux - Little White Lies
Want to make manchildren laugh? Blow some weed smoke out at them in 3D. Call something 'Avatarded' as a compliment. Get a baby high. Throw in a subplot about a 'hot virgin I met on the Internet' who's horny for a manchild...
MaryAnn Johanson - Flick Filosopher
Although the humour is patchy, when the laughs hit they hit hard, slyly sending-up holiday season conventions...
David Edwards - Daily Mirror [UK]
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas's slacker posturing belies a rare comedic rigour. It takes brains to be this thick.
Robbie Collin - Daily Telegraph
It all remains on the light-hearted, harmless and inoffensive side despite bad-taste gags and gory Yuletide violence.
Alan Jones - Radio Times
Enjoyable, occasionally inventive and frequently funny stoner comedy threequel that succeeds thanks to a witty script, loveable characters and winning performances from its two leads.
Matthew Turner - ViewLondon
In A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, you are reminded that Harold and Kumar have penises -- again and again.
Cynthia Fuchs - PopMatters
For all its pretensions to bad taste, this is surprisingly heartwarming festive fare.
Tom Huddleston - Time Out
There are a lot of laughs lurking within the shiny 3D wrapping and snow-covered silliness.
James White - Empire Magazine
I went in expecting: a stupid Christmas movie that had way too much fun being egregiously in 3D...and I got that.
Widgett Walls - Needcoffee.com
During the holiday season, it's joints to the world!
Susan Granger - SSG Syndicate
Thank goodness for NPH. His appearance wakes up the film and makes things fun for a while.
Jeff Bayer - The Scorecard Review
I guess if you roll out enough jokes, the odds are with you to get some laughs, at least. Just some laughs are not enough for "A Very H&K 3D Christmas."
Robin Clifford - Reeling Reviews
a bong that has been hit one time too many
James Kendrick - Q Network Film Desk
Lots of fun.
Bob Grimm - Reno News and Review
Offers rolling-paper-thin female characters. Ethnic stereotypes are lazily snowballed at us. And it has the usual boring, hokey spirit-of-the-season moments.
Brian Gibson - Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Cho and Penn's genial rapport, and the picturesque three-dimensioning of plumes of pot smoke and cocaine flurries? Sure. But those pleasures are fleeting -- gone, if you will, with the weed.
Kimberley Jones - Austin Chronicle
More or less defines the word "superfluous."
Sam Adams - Philadelphia City Paper
The film's aim at being shocking is generally undercut by how cheerfully foolish it all is.
Ken Hanke - Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Funnier than Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, but for all the offensiveness, it's family-values to the core.
Ann Lewinson - Boston Phoenix
It contains the mother of all blunts, which, wouldn't ya know, burns down the Christmas tree that Harold's glowering father-in-law grew from a sapling.
Keith Uhlich - Time Out
All I want for Christmas is a ban on any further Harold and Kumar movies
Jackie K. Cooper - jackiekcooper.com
The best possible Christmas movie/pot movie hybrid: low-key and friendly and goofy without ever being deliberately mean.
Tim Brayton - Antagony & Ecstasy
A foul, hilarious and surprisingly heartwarming holiday experience that utilizes its eye-popping technology to take gross out humor to a new level.
Matt Patches - Hollywood.com
Surrealistic, in an agreeably stupid way.
Kelly Vance - East Bay Express
The writing is sharp, unflinchingly funny as it slyly extols family values while using the sort of crass trappings that send the stiff-necked and the sanctimonious into fits of apoplexy
Andrea Chase - Killer Movie Reviews
Although still not as fun as the original, fans should enjoy this one better than the preachy second installment (more so if they're slightly blitzed).
Kevin A. Ranson - MovieCrypt.com
Those who find 'child endangerment drug humor' offensive should stay away, as the film has plenty more to throw at you including...the trash talk of series secret weapon Neil Patrick Harris, who says things about Clay Aiken I wouldn't want to quote.
Laura Clifford - Reeling Reviews
Not a classic by any means, but still an enjoyable enough comedy for those not easily offended.
Scott Nash - Three Movie Buffs
It hasn't quite jumped the doobie yet, but the shtick is getting tired.
Nell Minow - Beliefnet
As usual, the high point is the arrival of Neil Patrick Harris, reprising his role as an obscene, drug-addled version of himself.
Eric D. Snider - EricDSnider.com
The latest Harold & Kumar is a symphony of pristine ridiculousness, rendered in the third dimension.
Robert Levin - Film School Rejects
Would it be too much to ask for an all-NPH spinoff? I think he's more than earned it. Otherwise, definitely an improvement over the abysmal Guantanamo installment.
Brian Juergens - AfterElton.com
Raucous, crude stoner comedy is funny but not for kids.
S. Jhoanna Robledo - Common Sense Media
A movie that refuses to take itself seriously and manages to find a few outrageous taboos to make fun of...uses 3D with more imagination and wit than any other film so far.
Marshall Fine - Hollywood & Fine
3D Christmas pushes the envelope of tastelessness while maintaining a cheery holiday glow.
Alonso Duralde
Cho and Penn still make for a winning comedy team, Neil Patrick Harris's willingness to subvert his public persona is refreshing as always.
Peter Sobczynski - eFilmCritic.com
Simultaneously mocking and pimping out the 3D gimmick trend, this chapter may be the weakest in the series, but it's still enjoyable with plenty of outrageous laughs.
Diva Velez - TheDivaReview.com
Despite the pacing, a few scenes that aren't as funny as the filmmakers think they are and the feeling that the movie was ten minutes too short, A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas is a fine return to form for the duo.
Matthew Razak - Flixist.com
This movie is so mischievous, you might have to be Gandhi or Mother Theresa to get off of Santa's naughty list after buying a ticket.
Willie Waffle - WaffleMovies.com
The move was made for no other reason to be stupid, obnoxious, offensive, rude, crude and absolutely hilarious.
Kevin Carr - 7M Pictures
Predictable stoner mischief is less cute when it features men in their late-30s.
Brian Orndorf - BrianOrndorf.com
Man, it's like hilarious, right? Except, um, no, it's not. It's really, really not.
Stephen Whitty - Newark Star-Ledger
4 out of 5 reindeers prefer this sequel to #2. As rude and wild as expected, frankly it's surprising that the filmmakers didn't go in for 3D chests and nuts roasting on an open fire.
Kimberly Gadette - Willamette Week
'Harold & Kumar' are naughty and nice.
James Verniere - Boston Herald
It leaves no stone unturned in its quest to gang-rape the holiday season (and I mean that in the best possible way).
Rob Vaux - Mania.com
At a spare 89 minutes, it's barely worth getting high for.
Pete Vonder Haar - Houston Press
Get your Santa hats on and buckle up for the latest adventure of Harold & Kumar. It's the stocking stuffer that you have been waiting for.
Jolene Mendez - Entertainment Spectrum
... a lively and rambunctious return to these wonderfully wacky stoners.
JimmyO - JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Utterly stupid, not to mention rude, crude and irreverent in the extreme, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is exactly what the fans are hungering for.
Liz Braun - Jam! Movies
This latest installment in the pot comedy franchise is not as good as White Castle but still provides enough laughs and raunchiness to keep fans happy.
Beth Accomando - KPBS.org
This latest in the raunchy, pot-infused franchise hits new "high" marks as it bestows a terrific Christmas present on fun-seeking, broad-minded filmgoers young and old, brainy and brainless, who share an aversion to "tea parties" and dumb prejudices.
Doris Toumarkine - Film Journal International
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas has lots of - um - highs, very few lows.
Gary Wolcott - Tri-City Herald
Even though Christmas doesn't hit the comic highs of White Castle, the sketches are consistently funnier than the ones in the last movie, Escape From Guantanamo Bay.
Ethan Alter - Television Without Pity
It's one of those comedies in which if one joke falls flat for you, it's mere seconds before the writers are trying something different. Every time the film threatens to collapse, the sheer manic nature of the piece saves it.
Brian Tallerico - HollywoodChicago.com
A feeling of routine is the last thing this series needs, but it's the only thing A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas offers.
Mark Dujsik - Mark Reviews Movies
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas lacks the freewheeling, generous spirit of the first two Harold & Kumar movies and tries to make up for that lack with extra crudeness.
Stephanie Zacharek - Movieline
The 'more of the same' mandate may satisfy fans of middling marijuana jokes, but can't really justify a third film that's visually ambitious but comedically burnt out.
Geoff Berkshire - Metromix.com
an antidote to all the glad tidings and false figgy pudding merriment
Bill Gibron - Filmcritic.com
The laughs aren't quite as consistent and you kind of get the feeling that Kal Penn and John Cho are outgrowing this stuff, but it nevertheless delivers for fans of the stoner now-trilogy.
Bill Clark - FromTheBalcony
[VIDEO] Although it doesn't get as ribald as it should, "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" takes its penis and exposed breasts scenes with a proper sense of irreverence.
Cole Smithey - ColeSmithey.com
Has there ever been a film where a toddler gets stoned, coked up and trips on ecstasy? Yeah, that's kind of love-it-or-hate-it humor we're in for.
Peter Paras - E! Online
I saw it sober, so I don't think it measures up to the original, but it does preserve the franchise's multiethnic flavor and lowbrow appeal, although it seems more "Cheech and Chong" than ever.
Gary Thompson - Philadelphia Daily News
(S)omething for everyone, if everyone is looking for... Santa dealing weed, a coked-up infant... and Danny Trejo as the father-in-law-to-be from Hell. I didn't think I was looking for that but found it. And heaven help me, it wasn't bad.
Steve Persall - Tampa Bay Times
The makers of the comedy fully understand that 3D is a gimmick much overused these days. And understanding that, they overuse it themselves in such a way as to cannily comment on the cliched nature of the gimmick...
Soren Anderson - Seattle Times
After two uneven predecessors, this threequel finally elevates its titular duo to the realm of ganja-comedy icons.
Nick Schager - Slant Magazine
Spreading tidings of good cheer -- along with the occasional joke about coked-up toddlers -- this 3D sequel is a manic, uneven comedy that just barely hits more than it misses.
Tim Grierson - Screen International
So unabashed about the way it approaches the material that the filmmakers are almost laughing along with the audience at the sheer ridiculousness of what they're getting away with.
Jason Zingale - Bullz-Eye.com
Funny and playful ... As a stoner comedy wrapped in a feel-good holiday movie stuffed into a male fantasy, the fire still burns.
Matt Pais - RedEye
Funny to its core and filmed in gloriously rendered, over the top 3D, "A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas" is full of the humor fans of the previous films have come to expect.
Michael A. Smith - MediaMikes
This isn't high art, but the return of screenwriters Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg is a good sign
James Rocchi - Boxoffice Magazine
The filmmakers throw everything at the audience, literally and metaphorically, and the results are exhilarating rather than exhausting.
Nathan Rabin - AV Club
By embracing the inherent silliness of what's still a gimmick at heart, the filmmakers manage to use 3D far more effectively than most other films in the fad's current revival.
Ian Buckwalter - NPR
I'm sad to report that Harold and Kumar have lost much of whatever it was that made them so great in the first place.
Joshua Tyler - CinemaBlend.com
Rather than ho-ho-ho, 'A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas' will likely elicit no-no-no among the non-stoned (Parental Movie Review also available)
Jim Judy - Screen It!
It has some big laughs but not enough of them.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) - St. Paul Pioneer Press
This movie will make a lot of money, once again proving the wisdom of H. L. Mencken that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
Daniel M. Kimmel - New England Movies Weekly
Goes through all the expected motions, but without much energy, and the tastelessness comes across as mere calculation.
Frank Swietek - One Guy's Opinion
Perhaps this viewer has become a victim of desensitization, but what might have come off as shocking a decade or less ago now has a bland, "been-there-done-that" air to it. It's definitely not the gut-buster it thinks it is.

Thanks for the ^5s.
Has anyone used bitstrips before? hahaha it's kinda fun and moderately funny. I'm getting a kick out of it. Obviously, I'm uber busy at work. *eyeroll*
I think a bit of starchy carb, as long as you tolerate it, is absolutely a good thing to help your system stay familiar with them.
I only just saw bitstrips show up on my facebook feed recently. Not sure what to make of it. As for me, I'm plugging away at Candy Crush.
Depression Lies
I gave up on candy crush months ago. I got stuck on a level and unless I'm actively progressing, I get bored and give up.
Some of these bitstrips are super funny.

Woman found with Smiley will not be prosecuted
Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks put the Smiley saga to rest with an announcement Wednesday that he will not prosecute Karen Moore, the previously unnamed woman who was found walking Smiley the dog at a South Whidbey park April 1.
"The injuries caused by the Smiley saga are healing," he wrote. "I have concluded no good can come of reopening those wounds."
Smiley was the dog at the heart of a lawsuit between Whidbey Animals' Improvement Foundation and two former volunteers, Bob Baker and Barbara Moran. The volunteers wanted to prevent the animal shelter from euthanizing Smiley; WAIF deemed the dog unadoptable.
The evening of Island County Superior Court Judge Vickie Churchill's ruling in favor of WAIF, someone broke into the Coupeville shelter and stole the Smiley.
According to police reports, Moore denied knowing that Smiley had been stolen from WAIF, claiming she found him as a stray.
At a Feb. 16 WAIF board meeting, while Smiley's whereabouts were yet unknown, Moore told the Whidbey News-Times that she had volunteered at WAIF for four years until she stopped about a year ago because she felt like her suggestions for shelter improvements were not being heard.
WAIF has since transferred Smiley to a rescue foundation outside of Island County.
Banks wrote that prosecuting Moore would not be in the public interest.
"I will not spend more county resources to mete out punishment in this case," he wrote.
Moore could not be reached for comment.

I have a dream. ... Nevermind, that's been used.
I have a vision.
As downtown Muskegon rises from the dead, I want to be in charge of the fine-tuning.
It is actually exciting to see all the construction after years of working across the street from Muskegon's own Ground Zero.
I'd like the Occidental Hotel with its candy shop recreated across the street from my office window, but I'll take Baker's culinary college. It is a nice building and I like the curved facade.
I also like Hegg's Furniture Gallery. They have nice furniture in a restored, grand old building. I feel like buying a couch just to thank them for saving the building from the wrecking ball.
But, I am waiting for the quaintness, and I am waiting for businesses that will cater to me.
Next to Radium Photo, which can stay, I want a Talbot's, a Capezio and a 9 West.
On Pine Street, I want a Crate and Barrel. Even an outlet will do.
And then, I want no fewer than three little bistros. Good soups. Good breads. Good green tea.
If they build those, I will come -- all the way from Grand Haven Township.
When I was a little girl growing up in Whitehall, we'd occasionally go to Muskegon for the day.
It was a big deal. My mother would wear a nice dress and polish her nails. We'd wear Sunday clothes.
Mother and Dad were from Chicago and you didn't go shopping in your play clothes.
Sometimes we'd go up the creepy side stairway of a creepy building at the end of town to eat at the House of Chan. I was always scared going up that steep, dark stairway, but took the risk because I loved the food.
Sometimes Dad would take us to one of the hot dog places on Western Avenue instead. We never went in without first watching the hot dogs revolving on spits in the window of the eateries.
Occasionally, we'd head down to The Chronicle and watch the presses run behind the big windows on Clay Avenue.
Our trips always centered on someone needing a dress for a First Communion, or a new winter coat, or a pair of shoes. There was never any mega shopping where everyone got stuff just for the sake of getting it.
We'd usually leave the car in the lot behind Hardy-Herpolshimers. That meant we'd walk through the store, across the alley and through the annex when we were ready to go home.
And in the annex we would stop to get a piece of candy. Real candy. Nothing ordinary like a candy bar.
My favorite was the square marshmallow covered in caramel and wrapped in wax paper. I would get one and eat it in the car on the way home. It was so special.
When I had my own children, we seldom came to Muskegon to shop. Grand Haven had all we needed.
But when a huge deli went in on the second floor of the Regent Theater building in the '70s, we returned to shop and lunch.
Before they built the mall, Western Avenue centered you, physically and psychologically, and was the place for parades and other community gatherings. It was lighted and decorated for the holidays.
I worry about that divided main street now. Have they figured out parade routes?
And what about those caramel-covered marshmallows? When the last of the mortar is set, will I be able to get one of those?

In a decision reached by a single vote, Charleston City Council agreed tonight to ban smoking on public streets and sidewalks in the citys hospital district.
The ban, which takes effect March 1, is the regions first prohibition on outdoor smoking in an urban center, and covers most of the area on and between Bee and Calhoun streets, Courtney Drive, and Rutledge Avenue in downtown Charleston.
Opponents of the ban on City Council said the problem the city was seeking to address people having to walk through clouds of smoke outside the hospitals was a problem the hospitals created by banning smoking on their properties. Fearing an encroachment on civil liberties, opponents attempted to scale back the ban to areas within 100 feet of hospital entrances, but that proposal failed on a 6-6 vote.
Supporters of the new restrictions, which are punishable by a fine of up to $25, included MUSC and Roper St. Francis hospitals, area businesses, the Ashley Hall school, and the Radcliffeborough Neighborhood Association.

Orioles @ Mariners, Machado still out
Greetings from Safeco Field, where after a hectic travel schedule this morning, I made it to Seattle this afternoon. The Orioles are 3-3 heading into this four-game set with the Mariners to finish off a three-city West Coast trip.
*Manny Machado is sidelined for the third consecutive Orioles game Thursday but the third baseman said that his back is getting better and better and is hoping to play during the four-game series against the Mariners.
"It's definitely gotten better," said Machado, who was a late scratch on Tuesday with low back spasms suffering during his final round of pre game batting practice. "It's something that's just an annoying pain. It's definitely gotten down to a pinpoint pain now. We will see how it feels the next couple days."
Machado, who has been resting and getting treatment, planned on taking BP and fielding ground balls on Thursday and will take it from there. He said the pain has gone down and the 22-year-old is just waiting for the last bit of discomfort to clear out before returning.
In his absence, the Orioles have used Ryan Flaherty at third base.

Rolny, V. and Pennig, S. and Müller, U. and Quehl, J. (2010) Technologien für die komfortable und sichere Kabine: TP3 "Wirkung von Kabinenlärm auf Passagiere". Kabtec Workshop, 15.06.10 , Hamburg.
Full text not available from this repository.
Two aircraft simulation tests were performed under laboratory conditions: A 3 (sound pressure levels) x 3 (frequencies) experimental design was applied to both studies. Each frequency was operationalized by the presentation of current noise samples recorded at different seat locations in a real single-aisle aircraft (front, middle, rear). For front and middle noises, levels of 66, 70, and 74 dB(A) were applied, for noises in the rear section levels of 70, 74, and 78 dB(A) were played-back. Comfort sensation was measured by a semantic differential consisting of 24 bipolar adjective pairs for the evaluation of aircraft cabin noise with respect to sound quality and annoyance. Communication interference was examined by measuring the speech intelligibility of loudspeaker announcements presented at a constant level of 70 dB(A). Additionally, subjective evaluations of the communication situation regarding concentration, coping, annoyance, subjective speech intelligibility, and speech quality were used. Noise-induced performance effects were tested in the first study by means of a three-minute version of the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT), a simple, high-signal-load reaction time test. Since the results of the PVT were not significant, a three-minute computer version of the d2 test of attention was designed for the second study.

Alex Lopez Of Suicide Silence: Grind And Bear It
Alex Lopez: Grind And Bear It
Alex Lopez is kicking it at home in Wittier, California, the L.A. suburb with the dubious distinctions of being both the low-rider capital of the state and the birthplace of Richard M. Nixon. At the moment, the 22-year-old Suicide Silence drummer is reminiscing over a show at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. "It was the most nuts I've ever seen it there," he says of all the hardcore and metal kids crowd surfing and performing something called "head running." "It's dangerous," he says. "People can break their necks."
Any discussion of danger naturally leads to the Suicide video for "The Price Of Beauty," a plastic surgery cautionary tale that sports a decent amount of slashing and blood loss, but no more so than your average episode of Nip/Tuck. Apparently the effects were just a little too real for the suits at MTV, who rejected it out of hand. "The lyrics are bad — I mean not bad-bad, but it goes along with the video," says Lopez. "I've seen a lot worse stuff."
Not to worry. Lopez is well acquainted with the uncertainties of life in a band. Not so long ago, he was in The Funeral Pyre as a guitarist, and clearly remembers his last gig at California MetalFest in 2003. The very day of the show, the other Pyre members informed Lopez that they were relocating to Phoenix. "They basically told me, 'Look dude, if you're not moving to Arizona with us there's no use in you being in the band.' It was just weird because that day Chris [Garza, guitarist for Suicide Silence] came up to me and he's like, 'Hey man, you can't tell anybody, but we're getting rid of our drummer. By any chance do you still play drums?'"
The timing could not have been better for Lopez to join Suicide, but it meant stepping up his percussive game in a major way. "I wanted to basically do what their old guy lacked, because I remember seeing them and I was like, 'Man, if only their drummer could bring some spice, you know, Morgan Rose that stuff. Put some flavor up in there.'"
Not long after shopping their demo around, the band was snapped up by indie label Century Media for the recording of their debut, The Cleansing. Going for a fresh perspective, the band contacted John Travis, best known for his work with Static-X, to see if he was down for producing, and the interest was mutual. "For some reason when he records bands he has to click with the drummer," says Lopez, describing Travis' methodology. In the studio, the producer brought out a road case holding some ten snares in it including a bell brass he bought from Dave Grohl. With the exception of one track, the bell was used by Lopez to record The Cleansing in its entirety. "It cracks," he says lovingly of the snare also favored by one of his major influences, Abe Cunningham. "That thing was an anchor, man. You can hold down a ship with it."
Travis' exhaustive m.o. also turned out to be a crash course in miking. "He put three mikes on the snare — he had a [Shure] 57 and he had this weird old-fashioned mike from the '60s, and when he singled it out it made it sound like I was hitting a tin can, mixed with the 57 which gives a pow, and he had a big ol' mike beneath the snare which picked up the low end — so we had a good blend."
Upon first listen, The Cleansing evokes classic Bay Area grind à la Benümb or Exhumed. Suicide's take on the subgenre is the perfect vehicle for what Lopez characterizes as his "solid and simple" pounding, although the album has plenty of blistering thirty-seconds. "There's two types of blasts that I do — one's a Euro and one's a straight blast. For a Euro, I do it in that song, 'No Pity For A Coward.' It's basically when you hit the ride every time you hit the bass drum and you hit the snare on the opposite [note]."
Now that he's locked down a Tama sponsorship, Lopez is currently building his dream kit, a Tama Starclassic Maple in black lacquer finish with black nickel plating. For now, though, he's cool with the '98 Tama Rockstar he's been punishing for the last ten years, which he acquired through an uncle who works in a music shop in downtown L.A. "I take really good care of it, always tune it to make sure the rims aren't bent," he says. Superficially, at least, the kit under construction mirrors the aesthetics of his current setup. "I wanted to do, like, a neon green color but I thought for my first [official endorsement kit] I should stay with black to be all brutal."
Usually musicians bitch about touring — bad food, worse smells, and so on — but for Lopez it was a bonding experience. "We were playing a show in Canada at some college. We were all backstage, everyone was drunk, and there was a little P.A. there and everybody, at least three or four times, went up to it and we were, like, confessing what we've done in our lives," he says. "I heard some stories from the guys from Darkest Hour, like wow — same thing with Unearth. Buz [McGrath, Unearth guitarist] is like the funniest guy in the world. It was a cool memory because they didn't even care. They said some stuff like, 'All right, I've never told anybody this, but once I did this, and then I did this.' It's stuff I can't even talk about."
With the details of a major summer 2008 tour still being worked out, Suicide Silence has some late-winter/early-spring European dates supporting Polish death-metallers Behemoth to tide them over. "A lot of the people who like Behemoth are some crazy vampire-looking guys, with boots and chains, like they're straight out of Immortal or something. Our fans aren't really like that. Our fans are more the 16-year-old kid who likes to hardcore dance in his basketball shorts."

The woman who claims Cee Lo Green drugged and sexually assaulted her had been dating the singer on and off since the Super Bowl, TMZ reports.
The "Voice" coach apparently met the Houston woman in February and they've stayed in touch and dated on and off since — he'd fly her out to L.A. occasionally and they would text and talk on the phone frequently.
The woman told police Green slipped a drug into her drink on a date at an L.A. restaurant in July. The next thing she knew she was lying naked in bed with him, she said. She also alleges that Green was caught on tape apologizing for giving her MDMA, aka Ecstasy.
However, sources connected with Green told TMZ that after dinner, both willingly took Ecstasy and stayed up all night. "No one was unconscious," according to one insider. The sources say the woman fabricated the story because she was seeing someone back in Texas who found out about her relationship with Green.
Lindsay Lohan: Cops have a vendetta against me
Lindsay Lohan is fighting back following news she'll be charged with lying to police, telling friends it's just a vendetta to bring her down, TMZ reports.
The looming charge stems from an auto accident. Which one? You're probably asking. This one occurred in June when Lohan's Porsche rear-ended a dump truck on a SoCal highway. Lohan still claims she wasn't driving, but she's "terrified" of going back to jail because she's on probation in her necklace theft case.
And she has good reason. Police say they have witnesses to disprove her story and plan to push for a long sentence after she's charged with the fabrication. "At the conclusion of the probation hearing, prosecutors will ask the judge to sentence Lindsay to significant time in jail, up to one year," a law enforcement source told Radar Online. The site also reported that the driver who was rear-ended will testify that the actress's camp tried to pay him off immediately after the accident.
Despite her accusations of a vendetta, Lohan plans to throw herself at the mercy of the court, TMZ reveals. "One car accident could ruin everything for me," she said.
But it sounds like Lohan may be running out of second chances. Says Radar's insider: "Prosecutors are extremely frustrated that Lindsay continues to act as if she is above the law and feel that the judicial system hasn't punished her harshly enough for her to stop her wild antics."
Mother of 'Modern Family' teen star accused of abuse
The mother of "Modern Family" star Ariel Winter has temporarily lost custody of the actress amid allegations she's been abusive to the teenager.
Court records claim Winter's mother, Chrisoula Workman, has been physically and emotionally abusive to her 14-year-old daughter, who plays Alex Dunphy on the hit ABC comedy.
The October order, first reported Wednesday by TMZ, requires Workman to stay away from Winter until a Nov. 20 hearing. Records show Winter's sister filed for guardianship and was appointed her temporary guardian, but will not have access to her earnings.
The records describe Workman's abuse as consisting of slapping and name-calling. Reached by phone, Workman said she was in the process of hiring an attorney.
Winter has appeared in films and TV shows since she was 7.
_________Kristen Stewart plays coy when asked about relationship
Kristen Stewart wants to "keep 'em guessing" when it comes to her relationship with Robert Pattinson.
The actress appeared on the "Today" show Wednesday to promote the final "Twilight" installment when co-anchor Savannah Guthrie inquired about Stewart's headline-grabbing personal life. In case you hadn't heard, she and Pattinson reconciled this fall after a tumultuous summer beset by Stewart's cheating scandal.
"Kristen, you have so many fans and they will be mad at us if we don't ask you," Guthrie said. "Are you back together with Robert Pattinson?"
After Stewart's eyes went to the floor, she replied: "Funny you mention that. I'm going to just let people watch whatever little movie they think our lives are. Keep 'em guessing, I always say."
