|Re: Thoughts on build environment selection when releasing in distributed build setup
|Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:20:54 GMT
Thanks for writing this up, it's quite helpful. I'll pick a few things from the thread. On 13/02/2010, at 2:38 AM, Jevica Arianne B. Zurbano wrote: > Updated wiki for CONTINUUM-2386 (Build environment selection is ignored when releasing with distributed build enabled) > http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CONTINUUM/Build+Environment+Selection+During+Release > > These are the issues to be fixed/implemented: (under the References section from the link above) > <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2386>CONTINUUM-2368 - Build environment selection is ignored when releasing with distributed build enabled > <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2458>CONTINUUM-2458 - Continuum Release should do a checkout if there is no working copy > CONTINUUM-2464 - Build environment should be required when releasing in distributed build setup This looks fine to me, but it's probably trying to tackle too much at once, and as Wendy said we might want to do a greater review of dist. builds and interactions with these bits. This would be good input for that. I would focus on making it behave consistently in the short term, with simple rules. So it sounds like, from my reading of the thread: - require a build environment for release in dist. builds - use same rules to select agent as any other build would - if no checkout exists, do one (which I assume any other build would do too) is that right? One other point: On 03/02/2010, at 1:04 PM, Wendy Smoak wrote: > There's no relationship between a successful build in the past and a > successful release now. A commit in between could have fixed (or > broken) the build, giving a different result when you try to release. > > This feels like an arbitrary restriction that could be removed. It was intended to do the release from the revision that was last successfully built - but we're finding more and more that releases are always done from the latest revision, so you're right and the restriction has become arbitrary, and it means having 3 builds to push a release, which is over the top! - Brett -- Brett Porter firstname.lastname@example.com http://brettporter.wordpress.com/

Even the best defensive driving classes and split-second decisions may not prevent you from becoming the victim of a life-threatening auto accident. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the annual number of fatal collisions hovers around 40 thousand. As a driver, you should continually educate yourself and exhibit attentiveness and self-control on the roadways so you're more prepared to survive an auto accident.
Ready yourself mentally before you get on the road. Since you'll generally have little time to contemplate a course of action when faced with an oncoming collision, it is important to remain focused at all times. Turn off your cell phone, put away your hairbrush and turn down your radio. Be mindfully present when you're driving--not distracted.
Have your mechanic test and service your restraint and safety systems on an annual basis. Airbags and seat belts save countless lives each year, but only if they are in proper working order. If you purchase a used car, have the integrity of the safety systems evaluated before you begin to drive the car regularly.
Service your brakes, tires, transmission and suspension systems according to dealer recommendations, and sooner if you suspect a problem. Your car will only react as well as its systems are maintained. Driving with worn brake pads and bald tires may cause an accident to become serious, or even fatal.
Remain upright, gripping the steering wheel tightly at 10 and 2 o'clock and bracing yourself for a collision. Do not allow your body to go limp, as you need increased muscle tone and rigidity to protect your organs, spinal discs and skeletal system. It is better to suffer from sore muscles than a ruptured spleen or spinal fracture following an accident.
Get out of the vehicle and move away from the area if you can walk on your own. If you begin to smell smoke or see flames, run away from the car immediately to avoid an explosion. Your ability to survive may depend on your speed in extricating yourself from the vehicle and the accident scene.
Bail out of your vehicle immediately if it is headed toward or floating in a body of water. Once an automobile sinks below the water's surface, the doors and windows become nearly impossible to open due to the intense water pressure. If your door is stuck shut, kick out a window to exit the vehicle.
Resist the urge to duck toward the steering wheel before a collision. Upon impact, your head may strike the wheel and render you unconscious. In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with airbags, you could sustain serious burns from the airbag explosive or other damage due to the airbag's facial impact.
Sit at least 10 inches away from the steering wheel if your vehicle is equipped with an airbag. If you're seated closer, the airbag could break your ribs, or cause lung damage or other serious internal conditions. If you are too short to reach the pedals without moving the seat forward, purchase pedal extenders from a company like Creative Controls, Inc. or PedalExtenders.com (see Resources below).
Adjust your headrest so it sits just above your ears. If your headrest is too low, you could incur serious or fatal cervical damage when your head impacts the rest.
Wear your seatbelt properly. Do not put the chest harness behind your back, as wearing only your lap belt subjects the spine to serious trauma upon collision impact.
Tips & Warnings
- Take safety measures to ensure that your children survive if you're in an accident. Regularly check the positioning and security of car seats and child booster seats, and visit a local fire or police department to have your car seat installation reviewed on an annual basis.

American Airlines formalises Million Miler programme
American Airlines is formally launching its AAdvantage Million Miler scheme on December 1, offering benefits including lifetime elite tier status, albeit with stricter eligibility rules than the unofficial programme it is replacing.
AA is one of several US carriers that have over the years offered unofficial benefits for their most loyal customers reaching mileage milestones. Rewards include lifetime AAdvantage Gold status for those members earning one million miles, and lifetime Platinum status for those reaching two million miles.
The carrier is now formalising these benefits under the Million Miler programme, but frequent travellers will spot that AA has made changes to the rules, making it harder to reach the mileage landmarks.
Presently all miles earned under the AAdvantage programme count towards million mile status, including those obtained through branded credit card purchases, bonus miles, and those earned through promotional offers.
But from December 1, only base miles earned by flying on American Airlines, American Eagle, AmericanConnection or any eligible AAdvantage programme participating airline will count towards Million Miler status.
The move has prompted extensive discussion of the changes on airline forums including flyertalk.com, where one topic has been titled "The great AA Mileage Race to D-Day". Until November 30, all miles ever earned by a AAdvantage member will count towards to their Million Milers beginning balance, which will then be displayed separately to other account activity on members' online accounts from December 1.
In an attempt to assuage members disgruntled with the rule changes, AA has launched a promotional offer, where one mile for every dollar spent on eligible purchases using the new Citi Executive / AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard credit card will count toward Million Miler status, providing the purchases are posted to billing statements by the end of December 2012.
Published benefits of the formalised Million Miler scheme include:
- At one million Million Miler miles, AAdvantage members will receive lifetime AAdvantage Gold status and 35,000 AAdvantage bonus miles
- At two million Million Miler miles, AAdvantage members will receive lifetime AAdvantage Platinum status and four one-way systemwide upgrades
- At each additional Million Miler mark, AAdvantage members will receive four additional one-way systemwide upgrades
To have your say about the changes, visit the Business Traveller forum. Regular readers will be aware of rumours concerning changes to the Executive Club scheme of AA's transatlantic joint venture partner British Airways, likely to take place around the same time as these changes to the AA programme – to join in the discussion click here.

Movies 'Son of Mask' shifts shape, action to a baby and a dog
Think back to 1994, when Jim Carrey honed his elastic antics to stretchy perfection after donning a personality-altering artifact in The Mask. Alongside him was a dishy unknown named Cameron Diaz and a rascally Jack Russell terrier called Milo.
Now erase that and scribble in Jamie Kennedy (Malibu's Most Wanted) as a callow cartoonist and Traylor Howard, the new assistant on TV's Monk, as his tolerant wife. Toss in another troublesome terrier, Otis, who is jealous of the couple's rather odd infant, Alvey, who has inherited shape-changing powers. What you get is Son of the Mask, a family-friendlier sequel that opens Feb. 18.
Bear, who plays Otis, does get a reward for his efforts: a female love interest, Venus, who is owned by Bob Shaye, the co-chairman of New Line Cinema, which is releasing the comedy.
Says director Larry Guterman: "When Bob came to the set, I immediately went to a close-up of Venus. I gauzed her out like an old movie star, and wrapped a feather boa around her."

TelevisionStamos commits to work in 'Progress'
John Stamos returns to TV next month in his first comedy series since 1987-1995's Full House, which made his career (along with those Olsen twins').
Jake in Progress stars Stamos, 41 — who split with wife Rebecca Romijn last year — as a high-powered New York publicist juggling a desire for commitment with ... well, baser instincts. Just as in real life, he says.
The show was initially developed as a comedy equivalent to 24, with an entire season to be spent during a single date. But producers found that conceit too limiting, so now Jake will juggle several women over time until he bonds — somewhat — with Julie Bowen (Ed). Stamos, backed by co-stars Wendie Malick, Ian Gomez and Rick Hoffman, sees it as a "pre-Mad About You," while ABC is promoting it as a male Sex and the City.
After a two-part premiere in Desperate Housewives' time slot March 13 (9 p.m. ET/PT), Jake will air back-to-back Thursdays at 8 ET/PT for six weeks starting March 17.

A.N: the idea came to me when listen to the Rascal Flatts song "Here comes goodbye" and got to thinking what if Hotch had got there before Haley was shot and boom here we are. Hope you like what I've written and now on with the show.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own mistakes.
Warning you may need tissues if you're light hearted.
I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And its not like her to drive that slow,
Nothin's on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell
"I'm sorry," Aaron whispered softly, eyes locked with hers his heart showing in every word he spoke.
"Don't be it was something you couldn't help," Haley returned just as softly tears slipping down her cheeks to splash on her cloths.
"Oh how sweet," Foyet sneered sickly his gun trained on Hotch while holding tight to the woman in his arms. "You both make me so fucking sick I just want to puke."
"Be there for our boy. Take care of him let him…," Aaron couldn't finish, didn't have to words to tell her what she needed to hear.
Foyet laughed mirthlessly. "Who said she would be the one to live Aaron? Who ever said either of you would live?"
"No one was talking to you," Aaron shot back straighten his back, spine cracking, never backing down. "And if anyone's leaving in a body bag it'd be you."
"So self-righteous, Aaron," Foyet spat taking a shot. The bullet missing Hotch's shoulder by inches and embedding itself into the wall behind him, as Haley screamed. "Oh poor Haley poo did the big gun scare you?"
"Don't answer him. Don't even look at him Haley. Keep your eyes on me," Aaron said his voice steady and sure.
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain,
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
That she was right here in my arms tonight,
But here comes goodbye
He never wanted things to end like this, never wanted to have to say goodbye with a psycho's gun pointed at his head, their child hidden safe. He just had to keep the jackass busy while his team moved in. He thanked God, not for the first time this day that he'd made it, instead of being in some car driving to save her, but here facing hell with her.
Bravely Hotch stepped forward not giving in an inch to any demands Foyet had. "You give up?"
"Oh here comes the bravado Haley, bargaining for his life, for your life and that of your little brat. I wonder what will he use humm? Will he use you?" Foyet asked harsh nasty breath floating over her shoulder making her cringe.
"He'd never do that you son of a bitch," Haley answered emotions choking her voice making it high pitched. "He'd…" she couldn't say knowing just by the look in his deep brown eyes what he had planned.
"What Haley," Foyet corralled jostling her body into closer contact with his lanky frame. "You think he'd give up his life for you?"
Both remained silent nether wanting to give anything away, to let him win, too much was at stake for things to fall apart now. They'd made a pack long ago that to not let anything or anyone shake them. A bit foolish now given the fact that she hadn't been able to keep up the end of her deal, but it didn't mean she would let him down now.
"He would without a doubt," Haley said filling her voice will all the bravery she could.
"Shall we test that theory," Foyet grinned manically turning the barrel of his 9mm into her side pushing in deep.
"Don't," Hotch yelled not wanting to see his ex-wife, the mother of his child and the love of his life die right in front of him.
"Or what," Foyet retorted pulling the hammer back taunting Aaron.
I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride
"I love you," Hotch breathed before taking a running charge at Foyet.
Everything happened at once but in slow motion for Haley. She watched as Foyet reacted quickly taking the gun from her side and pointing at Aaron chest. The bullet firing from the barrel, white smoke following, yet that didn't stop Hotch from slamming into Foyet. Grabbing the man around the waist, pushing him backwards and away the pair of them falling to the floor while she jumped out of the way. She watched them wrestle for control of the gun listening to the words thrown back and forth trying to figure out what to do next.
Her eyes spotted it, the dull gleam of Aaron's discarded gun, from when he first entered catching Foyet by surprise. Without much thought she rushed over just as another shot was fired but didn't stop to see who won. Instead grabbed for the gun falling over her own two feet in her haste then rolling and pointing just as Aaron had taught her all those years ago.
"Whatch goin' do with that gun little girl?" goaded Foyet coming to stand over her, his own gun pointed at her head.
"Using it," she yelled firing wildly hoping that one or more would hit home.
Her aim though shaky did hit home and more than one bullet, in fact she emptied most of the clip into his falling body as anger and hatred filled her own. Once he hit the ground she jumped up looking over towards the window seeing Aaron lying still as death. Her breath stilled in her chest, heart thumping wildly ready to jump right out her rib cage. Letting the gun slip from her fingertips as tears started to burn the back of her eyes. She never heard Morgan, nor Rossi come running in guns trained then lowered when they noticed that hell had come to their front door.
I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought I'd see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride
Falling to her knees beside Aaron's prone form, while pushing her left hand on top of the bullet wound in his chest. "Please don't leave me."
"Hal… Haley," came the softest whisper followed by a shaky intake of breath.
"Aaron," she whispered back the right hand smoothing back the hair on his forehead trying to keep the tears from falling.
"You ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine… just keep your strength."
"No time… have to tell you…"
"Tell me later love please," she pleaded feeling a tear finally slip free and glide down her cheek.
"No tears Lily bell… love you always Jack to," Aaron choked out feeling blood fill his lungs the pain unbearable, but he had things to say.
So much time wasted and for all of it to come to an end like this with only goodbyes left.
"Don't," Haley yelled pushing harder at his chest wound trying to stop the flow of blood. She turned to look behind her. "Where's that damned ambulance?"
"Haley, please," Aaron breathed regaining her attention.
"Please Aaron you can't leave me, us. We need you," she begged resting her head down over his heart.
She felt his hand come up into her hair, weakly pulling her face upwards which she complied with as their eyes locked Haley could see the life dimming from him. Slowly their lips met in one last soft kiss.
"Forever love," Aaron exhaled his hand dropping from her hair limply.
"Aaron, no please no, Aaron," Haley cried then felt someone wrap their strong arms around her waist and haul her away from him. "Let me go damn it," she screamed kicking out but hitting nothing.
"Let them do their job Haley," Morgan said into her ear cradling her shaking body to his.
"Please let me go, let me be next to him," she pleaded tears finally breaking free into violent sobs.
Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone
Oh, all alone,
But here comes goodbye
Three days later
"You going to be ok sweet pea," Penelope asked placing a soft hand on her arm.
"As good as I can be Penelope he's gone," Haley responded rising red rimmed brown eyes towards her best friend.
"But not from your heart love and not truly gone he'll always be with you in here," Penelope said thoughtfully placing her other hand on her heart, tapping lightly.
"Mommy?" Jack asked tugging on Haley's sleeve.
"Yes baby?" she returned giving her son a hopeful smile.
"When daddy come home?"
"Oh honey," Haley breathed gathering her son close. "He's…" she paused not sure how to explain.
Jack looked up to his mother expectantly.
She caressed his face softly. "Daddy won't be coming home."
"He's," she stopped her throat clogged with emotions. Clearing her voice she tried to answer. "Daddy's gone to live with God Jack, he's needed up in heaven."
"But, he won't protect us," Jack asked sad brown eyes filling with tears eyes so much like Aaron that it hurt Haley to look in them.
"He will always protect us Jack. He'll always be with us," Haley answered gathering her son close to her heart and holding on catching Penelope's tear filled eyes over his head and nodding.
Life would be different without Aaron Hotchner that one was for sure, but for his family they would never forget the father, the friend, the man that he was and would never become.
The End….

The move will provoke fury among standard farepayers using the busy lines from Kent into Charing Cross, Cannon Street and Victoria.
It was robustly condemned by Brian Cooke, London's passenger watchdog.
The reduction in standard seating is part of an £8.6million refurbishment package announced by South Eastern Trains for its Networker fleet. The carriages are being rebuilt at a cost of £63,000 each.
Under the old design a four-carriage train had 374 seats but the new arrangement will have only 344. The old Networker carriages had no first-class. The new ones have 24 first-class seats per four-carriage unit.
That brings the number of seats available for standard farepayers down to 320. Mr Cooke said: "It is a real shame that more second-class passengers are going to have to stand to allow first-class users to have seats."
Under the new scheme 10-car Networker trains will replace old 12-carriage slam-door stock.
Mr Cooke added: "More people will have to stand because the trains are shorter. There should be new trains - not rehashed old ones."
South Eastern Trains' Michael Holden said firstclass seating was being provided "in response to passenger demand".

- Carl: Yeah, way to play the boss's head like a bongo, Homer!
- Lenny: He's getting a pretty good sound out of that guy.
- Lenny: But Homer, how are you going to make a living?
- Homer: Don't worry about Homer J. I've got a plan. A plan that'll fix you good!
- Carl: Hey, what did we do?
- Homer: Sorry, that just slipped out. (Hugs them) I'll miss you.
- Bart: You're a pin-monkey? Wow! Finally I don't have to be ashamed of my father's job.
- Lisa: I think it's romantic, throwing off the shackles of the workaday world and following a dream...of sorts.
- Marge: I don't know if it's such a good idea. Can we get by on a pin-monkey's salary?
- Homer: Don't worry, Marge, I've come up with a perfectly balanced budget. There will be exactly enough money for you, me, Bart, and Lisa, if we make a few small sacrifices.

- [Bart punches the wall]
- Homer: And only one of you kids can go to college.

- Dr. Hibbert: Congratulations, Mrs. Simpson: you're pregnant.
- Marge: Mmm...
- Dr. Hibbert: Am I to take it that this is [chuckles] an unwanted pregnancy?
- Marge: Oh, no, no, not exactly. It's just that I haven't told Homer yet, and with his new job, I don't know how we're going to be able to afford this.
- Dr. Hibbert: Well, you know a healthy baby can bring upwards of $60,000.
- Marge: What?!
- Dr. Hibbert: Well, of course, that was just a test. Er, had you reacted differently, you'd be in jail right now. Simply a test. [laughs uncomfortably]
- Marge: Homey, I...
- Homer: Can't talk, praying. Dear Lord, the gods have been good to me and I am thankful. For the first time in my life, everything is absolutely perfect just the way it is.
- Marge: Mmm.
- Homer: So here's the deal: you freeze everything as it is, and I won't ask for anything more. If that is OK, please give me absolutely no sign. [brief pause] OK, deal. In gratitude, I present you this offering of cookies and milk. If you want me to eat them for you, please give me no sign. [brief pause] Thy will be done! [mows down]
- Bart: Wow, Dad, you really threw a tantrum like a little sissy girl?
- Homer: Oh, just that one time.
- Marge: Actually, when I was about to have Bart...
- Homer: [in flashback] You're pregnant?! [pulls hair, screams]
- Marge: [in the present] And then when I told him about Lisa...
- Homer: [in flashback] You're pregnant again?! [pulls hair, screams, runs off]
- Homer: Thanks for giving me my old job back.
- Mr. Burns: I'm afraid it's not that simple. As punishment for your desertion, it's company policy to give you the plague.
- Smithers: Uh, sir, that's the plaque.
- Mr. Burns: Ah yes, the special demotivational plaque to break what's left of your spirit. Because, you see, you're here forever.
- Smithers affixed a plaque to the wall of Homer's workstation
- Plaque: DON'T FORGET, YOU'RE HERE FOREVER
- Burns: Don't forget: you're here forever!
- Last lines of episode
- Lisa: Anyway Dad, to get back to our first question, where are the pictures of Maggie?
- Homer: Where they are most needed.
- Cut to SNPP. Homer's unoccupied workstation is decorated with pictures of Maggie, and several have covered Burns' "demotivational plaque", making it a new plaque for Homer.
- Plaque: DO IT FOR HER

Chapter 43 (Morgance)Mature
Morningtime found Morgance scrambling around, hastily preparing herself for breakfast. How could she have missed the alarm clock? One look at Lisha's empty bed told her all she needed to know. Lisha had purposely left her sleeping in bed.
And breakfast started ten minutes ago!
Well, the purple hair would have to remain tousled. Mascara and lipstain were all Morgance had time to apply before slipping into a simple black uniform.
Raking her fingers through her hair as she ran down the hallway, Morgance mentally prepared herself.
I will not Sing.
I will not lose my temper.
I will not listen to Vinnia.
And then, just for good measure, she repeated to herself: I will not Sing. Period.
Several attendants raised their eyebrows as Morgance passed them. They were carrying all manner of delicious breakfast food, from omelettes to pancakes to fruit cups to scrambled eggs. Morgance's stomach growled. She wondered if she'd be punished for arriving late.
Shoving open the door to the breakfast hall, Morgance let out a loud sigh. She was there. And so was the food.
Realizing that her dramatic entrance had caused all those in the breakfast hall to look her way and snicker, Morgance's face burned with the most intense blush she had ever experienced. Making her way to the table where Rune and Casady and, of all people, Brookie sat, Morgance tried to ignore the stares that were sent her way.
You've got to control yourself better, Morgance. You've just got to.
Spinning her chair once before sitting down, Morgance raised her eyebrows at Brookie. "Why are you here?" she asked, well aware of her accusatory tone.
Brookie shifted uncomfortably.
"She doesn't really fit in with the others," Casady said after an awkward silence. "Rune and I invited her to sit here."
"Well, no offense, but you're not exactly welcome," Morgance replied. She picked up her place settings and stood up. "I don't want to sit by anyone who's associated with any of them."
Rune looked uncomfortable. "Morgance..."
"Are either of you coming with me?" Morgance asked, trying to sound as intimidating as possible.
Casady shook his head. "Morgance, you're overreacting."
Morgance turned to Rune. "Come on, Rune. I know you're on my side...aren't you?"
Shuddering visibly, Rune crossed his arms and looked away. "I don't know, Morgance. I've got my food and my drink all set up right here. Besides, I don't think you're being fair."
"So you're choosing Brookie over me?"
Rune looked even more uncomfortable. "Morgance, that's not what this is about."
"Well, fine. I'll go sit over there. All alone."
Sighing, Rune stood. "I guess I'll come with you," he muttered, casting a rueful glance at Casady and Brookie. "I'll see you guys later, then."
Lines were already being drawn.

USF Downed By UNF in Extra Innings
By USF

Wednesday, March 26, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The University of South Florida baseball team lost 4-3 to the University of North Florida Ospreys in 10 innings Wednesday night in Jacksonville, Fla.
The Bulls (12-11) are now 2-1 in extra-inning games this season with a 12-inning, 6-5, victory over Indiana State on Feb. 23 and a 9-8 win over Savannah State in 10 innings on March 9.
After watching the Ospreys score a run in both of the first two innings, USF finally got on the board in the third after junior Joey Angelberger doubled to left, then scored on a sac fly from junior Brandon Smith. The Bulls took a 3-2 lead in the top of the eighth, but the Ospreys collected two hits in the ninth to tie the game. In the 10th, two wild pitches led the Ospreys to their 13th win.
Sanford, who allowed two hits and one run in the ninth, picked up his first loss of the year, allowing two runs from three hits while striking out three.
Six Bulls collected eight hits as Angelberger and Chris Rey each had doubles and Addison Maruszak, Ryan Lockwood, Smith and Stephen Hunt had singles.
In the fourth, the Ospreys threatened to score, loading the bases with two outs, but freshman Junior Carlin came in to relieve freshman starter Kyle Eastham, ending the inning with a strikeout.
In the sixth, junior Rey doubled down the left line to lead off the inning, collecting his third two-bagger of the year. Junior Trey Manz moved Rey to third, then a sac fly to center field by freshman Hunt scored Rey and tied the game at two.
With a UNF runner on third in the seventh, third baseman Smith made his third diving play of the game to keep the score knotted at two.
After back-to-back singles from Smith and Rey in the eighth, Hunt sent a single through the right side to record his first-career hit and drive in the go-ahead run.
UNF tied the game in the bottom of the ninth, and scored the game-winning run off a wild pitch, with two outs in the 10th.
In his first-career start, Eastham struck out three, but allowed two runs from five hits in 3.2 innings. Carlin struck out two of his six batters in 1.2 IP and freshman Zach Pietrzyk fanned one in his 1.2 innings of work.
The Bulls return to Red McEwen Field for a three-game BIG EAST series with Georgetown this weekend. The Bulls and Hoyas face off at 7 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, then take the field at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Ok, this is my view on who Harry's first friend might have been. Explanation at the bottom.
Harry's First Friend
"Believe me Mrs Williams; your baby is completely healthy. In fact I would go as far as to say gifted seeing how well his language skills have developed so early on in life. Is it common in the family?" Muggle doctor Walker inquired.
The red haired woman opposite him shifted before nodding, "Fairly common doctor. But are you sure?"
The doctor nodded, "It is not common in young children, especially without any siblings. If it worries you so much I would suggest a playmate" Mrs Williams nodded and left the room with her husband.
"Williams? Is that the best you could come up with James?"
"Well, Lily dearest, we can not use our real names can we? And on such short notice I think it was rather ingenious!" Lily rolled her eyes and went on ahead of her husband who promptly ran after her.
"It was you who wanted to see a doctor anyway" he continued, "Not me, and you heard what he said, it isn't uncommon"
"Well I wanted to be sure! What if it had been a Death Eater Harry was talking to and not an imaginary friend?"
"Fine fine, you win. Though I still think you overreacted"
"What ever" Lily huffed as she opened the door and pushed the pushchair through into the kitchen.
"Hey all!" Lily screamed and immediately spun round and kicked the intruder in the jaw, "OW! Lily! That hurt!" James laughed,
"Hey Sirius, what were you doing in the fridge?" Sirius shrugged,
"Cooling down" he flopped down onto one of the kitchen chairs. Lily fixed him with a beady glare as she lifted Harry in to the playpen by the pantry.
"You mean you were looking for the larger?"
"I mean I found the larger and couldn't be bothered to move" she rolled her eyes and moved to put the kettle on while James pulled the cups out.
"How was it then?" Sirius asked rubbing his jaw tenderly, "Gordon Bennett you deliver a good kick" he muttered in an under tone,
"Imaginary friends are completely normal" James declared scooping some coffee out of the jar, Lily opened the tea jar pulling two teabags out and adding them to the tea pot, "I wanted to be sure, that's all"
James and Sirius shared a knowing look.
Harry began to giggle in his playpen, "'ello!" he waved at nobody, "You funny!" he again pointed at no one. Lily cast him a worried look; Sirius rolled his eyes again, "The doctor said it was normal Lily."
"I know" she nodded slowly, "I just wish I could see what he sees so I could be sure"
"Every one had an imaginary friend at one time in their lives. It's completely natural"
"Yeah" James laughed, "Except yours are still with you Padfoot!"
Harry's point of view
Harry gazed through the material of his playpen as his mummy, daddy and uncle Padfoo' talked, their tone was lower then usual so he knew they were talking about him.
"Hello Harry" Harry turned and giggled at the man before him,
"'Ello" the man pulled and face and stuck his tongue out at him, Harry giggled again, "You funny!"
The man was dressed in a bright green suit with a blazing orange tie and a sunshine yellow shirt. His hair was as red as one of Harry's crayons and his voice was high pitched like a seven year old's.
Harry liked this man because he was funny and always came when he was bored, he also liked him because he was bright and Harry liked bright colours.
He also played fun games like mud pies, hide and seek and dolls and a lot of other games Harry was never taught the name of.
Harry called him Boo because that was what uncle Padfoo' always said when he was bored and Boo always came when Harry was bored so he called the man Boo.
Boo was, at this moment in time, dancing on his hands while Harry cheered and cried "Again! Again!" And because Boo never got tired he always did it again.
"Naughty Boo!" Harry cried when Boo climbed onto the worktop and began to rummage through the draws.
Lily looked to where Harry was looking and saw nothing, she looked again at her son as he laughed and cried out, "Naughty Boo!" she looked back again and sighed.
"Wish I knew what was going on in that mind of yours little man"
Hope you enjoyed that!
Right, it is a fact that little children often have imaginary friends, especially if they have no siblings. And as Harry has none and his parents are in hiding I thought the chances of him having an imaginary friend was fairly high.
Boo is based on the film Drop Dead Fred which I recommend as it is hilarious although the idea was given to me by Cristipotter who I hope enjoyed this.
Drop us a review if you have time! TTFN!

This is exactly what will be done with the share db of project information. We could certainly produce an xml file in the jjar style. That's not hard at all, but it will likely get large and I was going to try and use JISP or Xindice to try and speed things up.

In his debut solo adventure, Larfleeze meets Laord of the Hunt, a pan-dimensional cosmic entity that believes all living things are prey—and he's out to turn the universe into his own private hunting reserve! And the only thing worse than Laord is the deadly beings he can summon!Larfleeze and his indentured servant butler Pulsar Stargrave, are floating in space near the Creation Point. There Larfleeze tells Pulsar about how he was born to a family of at least 16, then there planet was destroyed by the Lakadakians and Larfleeze was enslaved. Not sure if Larfleeze is telling his true origin, Pulsar listens as Larfleeze tells him about he was forced to mate and perform unspeakable acts until the day he started a revolt among the other slaves and escaped.Larfleeze goes on to tell about how he stole the Book of Parallax, escaped the Manhunters and discovered the Orange Lantern and created the first and only Orange Power Ring. Just as Pulsar realizes he has heard this part of the story, a giant dog emerges from the Creation Point and eats Larfleeze.The dog turns to Pulsar but quickly explodes and leaves only a recently eaten Larfleeze angry. Before Larfleeze can react, the Laord of the Hunt, emerges from the Creation Point looking for his dog. Instead of running away, Larfleeze sees the Load's treasure behind him and plans to take it for his own.

The launch season continues, staying in Germany. The focus has switched from the McLaren launch in Stuttgart on Monday, 375km North for the unveiling of the Panasonic Toyota Racing TF108 in Cologne.
The new car was presented today, Thursday the 10th, at the Formula One team's technical centre.
Drivers Jarno Trulli, Timo Glock and Kamui Kobayashi were all in attendance as well as the Panasonic Toyota Racing teams key players. The team also broadcast the event live on their website (www.toyota-f1.com), a nice touch, allowing all the fans of F1 to share in the excitement.
Those at the event or watching via the web were not disappointed, the car really is a stunning looking racing machine. It does have the Ferrari-style carbon fibre wheel covers on the front wheels, which spoiled the look somewhat, but even so the curves and sweeping lines more than make up for that. The predominately red and white paint job is tasteful and uncluttered, but it's all about speed in F1 so will the pretty car be a fast car?
Toyota seems to think so, they are not messing about trying to play down expectations, This is "the car it expects to challenge at the front next season" and they say so, in those exact words.
Usually we have to wait for the first race to see where the teams really are in the speed stakes but Toyota is talking a good game now, they describe the car as a marked improvement on its predecessor. This is refreshing to see in F1 and lets hope they are right. With three or even four teams fighting at the front, the season ahead could be an exciting one.
Chairman and Team Principal Tadashi Yamashina states "our ultimate target is the middle step of the podium - we are in Formula 1 to win and we want to do that soon."
Yamashina is unhappy with last year's performance but is more than optimistic about 2008, "We have great potential in this team - we have the right people in place and the right resources so we have every reason to be optimistic.
"We expect to have a truly competitive car so our drivers should be aiming to finish in the points regularly and challenging for the podium," he explained.
Yamashina is not alone in his assessment of the progress made by the well-funded team. President John Howett said, "We look in good shape for 2008, there is no question about that."
Ferrari and McLaren have both claimed their cars are an evolution of their predecessors, Toyota are saying that the TF108 is significantly different to its predecessor, on the outside and the inside, and what's more it looks like they are happy with the result.
The car has a longer wheelbase, a major aerodynamic upgrade, revised suspension and a new gearbox.
Senior General Manager Chassis Pascal Vasselon stated, "The main reason for making the wheelbase longer is to achieve more stability, but secondly we also expect greater aerodynamic development potential, giving our aerodynamicists wider surfaces and more space to play with."
As well as a longer wheelbase, the TF108 boasts a distinctive new aerodynamic concept and advanced suspension layouts.
"The aerodynamic concept of this car has changed," adds Vasselon. "The TF107 was an evolution of the TF106 but this time the new package is a departure from recent Toyotas. The primary aerodynamic design philosophy for the TF108 is geared towards optimizing the entire package."
Engine development is effectively frozen under the 2008 FIA regulations, which only allow modifications in the interests of reliability. Toyota did not see this as a problem for them: "In mechanical terms we felt we had a strong basis so we have focused on making a few refinements," Vasselon commented.
The standard ECU for all teams this year is big news in the sport. Ferrari, notably, appear unhappy about the use of the McLaren Systems / Microsoft ECU and suggest it is an advantage to McLaren. However, all the teams had a chance to tender for the contract to supply the ECU, the FIA chose the McLaren Systems solution, and that is the way it will be for 2008.
General Manager Engine for Toyota, Luca Marmorini, gave his thoughts on the subject. "On a Formula 1 engine, or indeed any modern car engine, even the mechanical parts are controlled by electronics so this is a big, big change."
Toyota has been working hard at getting the best out of their engine instead of talking about the problems and seem to be much happier with the new rules.
Driver-wise, the team has opted for a balance of youth and experience, a recipe that worked well for McLaren last year, at least in terms of results but certainly not well at all in many other ways.
Trulli in his fourth full season adds the meat to Toyotas recipe. Having been at the team for four years he knows F1, the team and to some extent the car well.
Glock adds the vegetables to the dish, he's young fast and comes off the back of winning the GP2 championship last year; a source of many rising stars in F1.
The plate is finished off with a garnish of Kobayashi, the young test driver combines his role with racing in the GP2 series this year.
The drivers share the excitement of the team bosses, the 33 year-old Trulli speaking at the launch said: "My hopes are always high because normally I am very Positive.
"I think that the team has got the potential, the resources, the people and everything necessary to bounce back to the position where we belong," he concluded.
The 25 year-old Glock is a proven champion in the GP2 Series and is no stranger to Formula 1 either, having spent a year as test driver and then race driver for Jordon in 2004 as well as a BMW Sauber test driver in 2007.
"I want to have the most successful season possible," said the German. "I aim to be consistent and to help the team move upwards. My first goal will be to regularly challenge for points and I believe we will be able to do that."
The youngest member of the driver line-up is 21 year-old Kobayashi, who continues his rapid rise up the motorsport ranks by stepping in as test driver. "It will be a challenge for me but I will always do my best.
"I will work hard on improving the car but also on improving myself because I do not have a lot of Formula 1 experience and I can get better in the way I communicate to my engineers and things like that," he resolved.
The launch action stays in Germany moving the 575km South East to Munich for the BMW F1 launch. That will be on Monday the 14th January and Motorsport.com will be there to bring you the latest news on the launch.

Masons' IT partner Clive Seddon says: "IT is very much a focus of this firm and he did not feel it was a focus at JGR in the same way."
However, JGR company and commercial partner Tony Coles says his firm is committed to IT.
He adds that JGR has five partners specialising in e-commerce law.
Fell becomes the seventh IT partner in Masons' London office.
His appointment follows that of former Bird Semple partner John Salmon to Masons' Glasgow office two months ago to specialise in e-commerce law. Masons' Leeds office lost assistant Jessica Hendrie-Liano to Stock Exchange-listed internet service provider Freeserve, where she is now in-house counsel, two months ago.

New bench may be Pacers' piece to title puzzle
Larry Bird watched the Pacers from a fan's perspective last season.
He liked the starting lineup, he grimaced over the turnovers and he knew that if the Pacers were going to contend for a title this season, they had to improve the bench.
When Bird returned as the team's president of basketball operations in June, he went right to work - re-signing David West, bringing in three free agents to provide more scoring punch and making a trade for Luis Scola. Bird, coach Frank Vogel and Pacers players all believe they now have the final piece to this championship puzzle.
With all five starters back, plus a potentially healthy Danny Granger, the revamped bench could be the key to dethroning Miami.

Real Geniuses
On the second day of the 2014 National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships, the wind that is notorious at the Hippodrome Disc Golf Complex began to show its teeth. A sustained wind of up to 15 mph all day can certainly take its toll on some players, but today, scores seemed to tell a different story. Although the courses at the Hippo host to some short holes, tricky greens, wind and out-of-bounds can turn a certain birdie into a much higher score. Navigating through the danger is difficult, but several teams and individual players cruised around the courses today posting some really hot scores.
In the Championship Division, the flagship of the NCDGC, a tight battle continued today as Colorado State and Georgia Regents University pushed ahead of the narrowed down 40 team field. After some stellar putting and ferocious team play, the Rams of CSU sit above the rest at -52. Close behind them finishing the day at four shots back are the local Jaguars of Augusta. There is a pack of teams just behind GRU at a total of 200, or 46 below par. Today marked the second straight day of team play in the Championship Division, and it seems as though these teams at the top have come up with quite an effective strategy. Tomorrow the teams will face off in individual competition, only counting the top three scores from each team. Each player will have to focus on helping their team push towards the top as they stride toward an individual accomplishment of being named an All American Athlete. Tomorrow will certainly be moving day, as these guys combine their efforts to benefit the "greater good."
The women's teams in the Championship Flight also played as a team today, and the Lady Lumberjacks of Humboldt State were at it again. They stretched their lead to an astounding 42 shots, keeping themselves within striking distance of the overall course(s) par, while sitting at +2. In the apparent battle for second, defending National Champions Mississippi State have some work to do, as the Ducks from Oregon are playing some great golf and are 17 shots ahead of them. Seems like it is out of reach, but with singles competition tomorrow, things can change in an instant.
In the First Flight division, we find a much tighter race. Today was singles competition for these guys, and some deft touch was shown by those at the top. The Kansas Jayhawks are in the lead at -16, but East Tennessee State and Ferris State out of Michigan are hot on their heels. Tomorrow they return to team play, and we will look for a push from the second and third cards who are only a few shots back. The Lions of North Alabama lead the Second Flight by four shots at -13.
To emphasize the level of skill being displayed this week, look no further than the astounding number of aces thrown over the course of the last two days. During Day 2 of the NCDGC, a total of ten aces were recorded. Six were recorded during doubles play within the Championship flight. At the Moody Woods course, CSUMB hit the 227 ft. Hole 5; Minnesota hit the 281 ft. Hole 6, Wisconsin - Stout hit the 179 ft. Hole 7; and Alabama Huntsville hit the 251 ft. Hole 15. The other two doubles aces were recorded on the Headrick Hills course with Western Michigan hitting the 279 ft. Hole 13, and North Carolina State hitting the 268 ft. Hole 19.
Four Aces were recorded today during individual play. On the Old Glory course, Matt Weller from Alabama Huntsville hit the 259 ft. Hole 1. The other three aces during individual play were all recorded on the Hogback course. Cameron Harbachuk of South Florida and Josiah Mullins of Alabama Huntsville both hit their aces on the 186 ft. Hole 12, while Brandon Melton of Kansas, hit his ace on the hole the course is named for, the 245 ft. Hole 8 known simply as "Hogback" as it runs on a ridge with a 15 ft. drop-off slope on each side.
That makes 16 aces in the first two days of play at the Hippodrome complex - how many will the next two days of the 2014 NCDGC produce? Be sure to tune in to Disc Golf Planet TV to find out, and watch all the live disc golf action. Check out some photos at Flickr.com, and as always find a complete listing of results at PDGA.com. Watch live tomorrow as we wait for more great shots and see all the drama unfold before our eyes!

Stanford basketball exhilarated much of its dormant fan base with spectacular defense during the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Every tenacious rebound, every monstrous block, and every gritty battle for a loose ball built a new sense of belief heading to Memphis for the Sweet 16. The Cardinal, so fickle for so long, had taken a page out of football's rugged playbook to send both New Mexico and Kansas packing.
Those were two good opponents and two excellent wins. It seemed as if there could be some stability settling into a program that had developed such an infamously mercurial reputation.
And then Dayton arrived to spoil the party. And Dayton tore through Stanford like a buzzsaw.
The final score read 82-72, but the flow of the game told an even more frustrating story. The good ol' (two) days of swarming defense, tough rebounding, and bar fight style basketball were gone in the blink of an eye -- almost as quickly as Stefan Nastic and Dwight Powell crippled the spine of the Cardinal's game by falling into foul trouble.
One could argue that the Flyers' front line was less talented than Stanford's. It was certainly smaller than the Cardinal's. But Dayton owned depth that the California kids could not match and an offense whose precision and efficiency made the Farm Boys pale in comparison.
Stanford had not given up more than 57 points throughout its first weekend of play in the Big Dance. On Thursday, Dayton had surpassed 60 with over 10 minutes still remaining on the clock. They almost doubled the Cardinal's assist total. Their bench ran circles around Stanford's on its way to outscoring the Farm Boys 34-2.
Meanwhile, Johnny Dawkins' squad spent most of the evening flummoxed on the offensive end. The Cardinal's size advantage made for plenty of ripe scoring opportunities on the low block, but they settled for 21 three pointers anyway -- and only made five of them. (Remember that Stanford had wisely abandoned the three point shooting strategy a game earlier against Kansas after only attempting nine from beyond the arc.)
This was a game in which Dayton, the technically smaller team, played decidedly bigger than Stanford. And that meant the Cardinal would have to mail in their eye-opening run at the FedEx Forum. The curtain closed on this rousing two-game tear, and only a whimper was heard behind it. A topsy-turvy season said goodbye on an unsatisfying note.
It left behind a bevy of realizations and emotions, many of them conflicting in nature.
There was the realization that Josh Huestis, Dwight Powell, and John Gage had played their final career game in a Stanford uniform. There was the fashion in which the Cardinal had lost to eleventh-seeded Dayton: spanked in virtually every phase of the game. But there were also great memories of gritty wins against New Mexico and Kansas, of crunch time success on college basketball's biggest stage. It all added up to a proud overall sense of March accomplishment, albeit one still inevitably entangled with the scepter of inconsistency that has long frustrated this program.
In short, there was confusion, the kind that suggests Stanford basketball remains in a state of limbo entering the offseason.
Moving forward, the bid to re-energize Maples Pavilion will demand much more consistent success. Given the prior trend, it's tough to determine whether or not that's a realistic expectation. Dawkins does have a strong recruiting class coming in, and a core of Chasson Randle, Anthony Brown, and Nastic will remain intact next season to spearhead the push for more improvement. The players and the staff both provided many positives to enjoy during this late season run to the Sweet 16, but the disappointing way in which it ended is a reminder that there are still daunting hurdles left to clear. Dawkins' next season may well be the defining one.

Preparations and a Little HumourMature
"Did you want a hand?" Morgan said watching Gabriel pull a small satchel like bag out of the bottom of his wardrobe.
"No thanks go and sort your stuff out" she stood up and walked out.
"See you in a little while" she said as she shut the door. Gabriel tried to growl the whistling in his throat was irritating him and he ended up coughing again as he began to push clothes into his bag choosing lightweight trousers and t-shirts instead of shirts that wouldn't look too bad if they got crumpled.
"Gabriel?" Morgan came back in her hair was tied up tightly Gabriel looked at her for a moment.
"My god you look like your mother"
"Thanks, I think" she smiled she pulled the map out of her pocket. "I've had a look at this and we don't even have to leave the house."
"Huh?" Gabriel questioned.
"It seems that your friend Amarantine built an escape route into the house" she smiled and sat down on the bed. "There's a doorway in the panelling near the training room it leads down into a set of old passageways called the Corvere tunnels. He's drawn a map of the tunnels and the direction we need to go" she passed him the map and the letter.
"You'd better keep hold of that" Gabriel flushed slightly as he passed back the letter.
"I can't read it" Gabriel looked at his bag and pulled the zipper closed.
"You can't read?" she asked Gabriel shook his head
"I know a few letters and I can make out some names if I see them enough but no, I can't read"
"I can teach you if you want?" Morgan said carefully Gabriel looked up at her all traces of embarrassment gone.
"You can teach me if we ever got out of this mess"
"When we get out of it" she said Gabriel smiled
"You have no idea how hard that's going to be, do you?"
"I'm an optimist" she smiled.
"Well you didn't get that from me" Gabriel snorted.
"I got some things from you" she said standing up.
"Like what" Gabriel coughed.
"Adventure" she grinned and left the room.
"She's right you know" a voice came from near the window. Deacon stood there smiling at Gabriel.
"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked.
"That little spark you excel in this kind of thing. The little spark of an adventure" the daemon grinned then he stood up straight "my orders are to keep you safe sir" his voice sounded clipped and almost army like. Gabriel laughed then coughed again.
"Call me that again and I'll remove your arms" the vampyre sniggered.
"Yes sir" Deacon skipped away from the half hearted claw swipe and out of the room.

Digging out the North Cascades Highway
High up in north-central Washington's rugged mountains, crews are once again digging out the snow-buried North Cascades Highway.
The road is a scenic short cut, through craggy mountains and forests, between Western Washington and the Methow Valley and gives access to high-country hiking.
About 40 miles of the highway, also known as State Route 20, is closed each winter because of snowfall and avalanche danger. Clearing the road is a weeks-long effort each year, including setting off controlled avalanches so crews can work safely.
With recent milder weather, snow depth has already dwindled from 10 feet to 7 feet deep early this week at the 5,476-foot-elevation Washington Pass. But snow on the highway by the Liberty Bell avalanche chutes averaged 35 feet deep, said the Washington State Department of Transportation
No word on exact opening day yet – there's still miles of deep snow to clear – but the DOT hopes to have the road open by mid-May. You can get updates at the DOT's North Cascades Highway website.
People from around the world follow the clearing of the highway through social media, said Jeff Adamson of the DOT. While we're used to deep, deep snow in the Pacific Northwest, lots of the world isn't and finds the white stuff, and the heavy equipment used to clear the snow, mesmerizing.

Kanye West is still breaking barriers. The hip hop star and fashion mogul becomes the first rapper ever to grace the cover of The New Yorker magazine. Featuring a cartoon cover illustrated by Barry Blitt, Yeezy is depicted as a presidential candidate and can be seen holding up a sign that reads "Trump Defeats Kanye." The visual mimics the hip hop artist's claims to run for president of the Unites States in 2020 during his popular MTV Music Awards speech that he made last week.
The New Yorker is also taking a jab at Donald Trump by suggesting that he will never win the presidential election along with Kanye West.The cover copies the famous photograph of President Harry Truman winning the presidential election in 1948.
After making his big presidential announcement at last week's MTV Music Awards, Kanye West had the internet going crazy and several blogs created memes making fun of his presidential announcement. However, Kanye West seemed to be very serious about his campaign.

Will Forte brings his Saturday Night Live character MacGruber to the screen with this action comedy directed by Jorma Taccone. After bad guys killed his wife (Maya Rudolph), soldier of fortune MacGruber (Forte) devoted his life to peace. But when his old nemesis (Val Kilmer) gets control of a nuclear weapon, MacGruber's former boss (Powers Boothe) convinces him to risk life and limb one more time with the help of a new team (Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe).
Editorial Reviews
All Movie Guide - Perry SeibertMacGruber is easily the best movie based on a Saturday Night Live skit in 15 years. But, considering the quality of recent sketch-to-screen projects, that sentence doesn't quite do justice to how funny the movie is. When bad guy Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer) steals a nuclear warhead, Col. James Faith (a brilliantly cast Powers Boothe) pays a visit to MacGruber (Will Forte), the legendary soldier and demolitions expert who has devoted himself to peace ever since Cunth killed MacGruber's bride on their wedding day. Driven by revenge, MacGruber heads back into action with former partner Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and young Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) to stop Cunth before he can detonate the weapon. Since MacGruber is nothing more than a spoof of the TV action staple MacGyver, it makes sense that they would follow the story beats of your average Stallone/Norris/Schwarzenegger Reagan-era blockbuster. Director Jorma Taccone's slavish loyalty to the tropes of '80s action films keeps the movie humming along -- by following that well-worn structure, they've got a solid spine to support one outrageous, tasteless gag after another. It's a smart artistic choice that pays off in surprisingly sly ways, especially since many of the jokes are so deliriously dumb. Those who want to see how far Will Forte will take his horny, easily upset, none-too-bright explosives master will not be disappointed -- this is a comedy that earns its R rating early and often. A sequence where MacGruber has sex with Vicki -- and then with the ghost of his deceased wife -- scores the biggest laughs because it deftly recalls similar softcore scenes in movies like Top Gun before shocking us with MacGruber's rather vocal lovemaking style. Sure, not every gag is a home run, but because the filmmakers stick to the action-movie formula the movie never drags. There are moments that misfire, but the whole thing never loses momentum, which is amazing considering Taccone and company are stretching a 30-second joke into a 90-minute movie. MacGruber probably won't achieve the same respect or success as the most beloved SNL adaptations, but odds are pretty good that if they wanted to give this character another spin the result would be much funnier than either Wayne's World 2 or Blues Brothers 2000.
