Movie News
So What's Happening To THE THREE STOOGES?
Nordling here.
We've been all over the map on this one. The Farrelly Brothers' revival of the classic comedy trio's seems to have had trouble nailing down actors for the roles since the get go. Sean Penn came, dropped out, came back, then dropped out again; we've had Jim Carrey gain weight for the part of Curly and then drop out; and even Benicio Del Toro was apparently going to be Moe at one point (or was it Larry? I'm thoroughly confused now).
Well, according to Entertainment Weekly, casting is still up in the air but Peter Farrelly's ready to go. He's got a plot ready and he's just looking for cast members. News reports of Johnny Knoxville and Andy Samberg being cast are apparently false - "You don't want people to think 'we've already cast the thing' because we haven't. It's wide open to everybody," said Farrelly.
The plot, which would be a fictional comedy and not a biopic, seems to revolve around the Stooges growing up in an orphanage and then heading out on the road together as adults. It will contain all the slapstick comedy that is the Three Stooges' trademark, seemingly from the very first frames: "A car whips by an orphanage, throws a duffel bag out its window and keeps going. A nun sees the duffel and opens it up, and a little baby hand comes out and BOINK! hits her in the eye. So that first episode is them growing up in the orphanage," said Peter Farrelly to EW.
I love the Stooges. I watched them religiously when I was a kid coming home from school. Not to make any kind of direction in the way of casting, but to me, the Stooges would work best if cast against type. People like Samberg and Knoxville are funny, but those are the first people to come to mind when it comes to a film like this. I loved the idea of Sean Penn being involved - it would have been so different than anything he's done before now, with the possible exception of Jeff Spicoli, the role that brought him to our attention in the first place. I guess I'm saying... Daniel Day-Lewis as Moe. I'm completely and utterly serious. Cast against type for this one. Could you imagine Daniel Day-Lewis clonking Curly, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman (yeah I said it) on the head or in the face?
Another interesting take that Peter Farrelly described was that all the punching, eye-poking, and nose-bashing just doesn't fly in the real world: "Suddenly, when Moe hits somebody he doesn't know, that's assault and battery." I really like that, the clashing of the obvious fantasy that is the Stooges with the staid, restrained reality that they simply can't get away with that kind of crazy violence out there outside of their element.
I'm watching this film closely. Like I said, I adore the Stooges and really hope Farrelly pulls this off. They've had it on deck for a few years now and they sound very eager to get started. I hope good actors get involved with the project and it just doesn't become another comedy staple. The Stooges deserve better than that.
Daniel Day-Lewis for Moe. Just putting it out there, guys.
Nordling, out.

I agree.They should cast actors who are against the type.
by KilliK
It would be funnier that way and maybe,maybe more faithful to the Stooges mannerisms and specific style. Carrey is a great comedian but he will still be Carrey if he tries to impersonate another comedian in a comedy movie.(Man in the Moon is different,it's drama).Like what happened with Steve Martin as Clouseau in PP. And yeah i liked the Stooges as a kid,but Laurel and Hardy (known as Fat/Thin in Greece) will always be my favorite comedian duo of all time.

Reasons to make it biopic
by veteran_of_mu
I've read Larry's autobiography, "The Stooge In The Middle". It's really fascinating stuff. The Stooges lived in a world so different from ours it's like an alien planet. Not just the act - its evolution from Vaudeville, the difficulty of finding the right chemistry, the weird politics of their times. It begs to be filmed. Quick anecdote from Larry's book: Curly wasn't originally a Stooge. He was just Moe's brother. So when Curly first auditioned for a Stooge he had a full head of curly hair and a moustache. Believe it or not he flopped miserably. Moe had him shave himself bald and try again the next day under an alias. And that's how we got the icon that made the Stooges work. When Curly was taken off by illness they tried everyone they could find to put back in the role. But it never really worked. The Stooges without Curly was like a hot-dog without mustard. It's still a hot-dog ... The shame is there really was one guy who could and did step into Curly's shoes. He even stole some of the Stooges bits - including "Niagara Falls" ...

I think I read somewhere the movie would consist of several unrelated short segments, just like the theatrical shorts. That's the best way to approach this. A feature-length storyline with the Stooges would be too damn much, even at only ninety minutes.

Daniel Day-Lewis as Moe?
by Fletch Gannon
Sorry to be so blunt but that is a dumb idea...yeah I want him to go the way of De Niro and soil himself by doing his version of 'Rocky and Bullwinkle'. Seriously where do people get these ideas? I and most people don't take De Niro seriously anymore so why would you curse anyone else to go in the same direction? The Stooges movie is a one time gimmick movie that will generate some business but will easily be forgotten. It won't tarnish the image of the classic three because no one shot flick could do that...they are immortal. It will generate some dollars based on the Stooges brand and it will drop off everyones radar just as quickly. But honestly (back to my point) I wonder where Harry gets these stupid writers who suggest stupid casting choices...Daniel Day-Lewis as Moe...Jesus what a stupid idea.

There already has been a contemporary re-make of the Marx Brothers! Dennis Dugan directed a 1991 flick called "Brain Donors" which was a pastiche of several Marx movies, primarily "A Night at the Opera. Bob Nelson, Mel Smith and John Turturro played the trio (with Nancy Marchand stepping in for Margaret Dumont!). Just a gawd-awful movie; beyond bad. Reportedly it started as a Zucker Bros. production, but they had the good sense to bow out early on.

one9deuce - Curly could have been replaced by ...
by veteran_of_mu
Lou Costello. He turned "Niagara Falls" into "Pokomoko". Exactly the same bit, just a different tag line. And then he lifted most of it again to do "Susquehanna Hats". Many of his stylings were explicitly modelled after Curly. Costello had plenty of original material so you really can't say he stole Curly's act. But there's no question he could have stepped into the Stooges without missing a beat if fate had been so kind. As it was Abbott and Costello were much bigger stars and paid a very great deal more than the Stooges. Harry Cohn kept the boys on pitiful wages without a raise for over 2 decades before they discovered that Columbia Studios had kept afloat almost entirely due to their massive popularity. So it's not very likely Costello could have been motivated to join in even if it hadn't been for his success with Abbott. Of course this was before the IRS crucified Abbott and Costello. Both of them died poor. Meanwhile the Stooges reformed around Curly Joe after Shemp's death and made a fortune on TV and as a live act in the sixties and seventies.

For fucks sake the one I just watched had them as surgeons! You'd think word would get around not to hire these guys. As far as the film, Benicio Del Toro should be Moe. Watch The Wolfman or to save you that torture google a picture of him from it. He looks just like Moe. And Sean Penn for Larry. You need good actors who can really get into the character and not just devolve into imitation Stooge slapstick.

You just can't artificially recreate something like the 3 Stooges
by Crimson Dynamo
The Stooges honed their craft over several years in vaudeville and Broadway and could read each other like a book. You can't just throw a bunch of disparate actors together and hope to recreate that. It's like saying you're gonna hire you four musicians and record a new Beatles album. And this notion of Moe getting hauled away for assault and battery is ridiculous - the Stooges universe was theater of the absurd, where you could use saws and pliers on delicate body parts and be OK a second later.

This has disaster written all over it
by Oldnewbie
Unless the treatment I read was a fake or is seriously being updated, the Farrelly Brothers' idea of the Stooges in the 2011's is full of poop, pee, and other gross out humor staples. Aside from that, the Stooges were real people doing a well honed over time comedy act, not actors playing comedians. I will be almost impossible to recreate them with any authenticity. I say 'almost' because method actors can pretty much become fried shrimp if paid to; but that doesn't mean they'll taste any good.

by FeralAngel
Just wondering. You get all excited about resurrecting those poor, frayed, geriatric, wrong-sounding Muppets, and now it's the Stooges you want brought back to life. Jeez, pal, go to a movie once in a while. See something NEW. Some of the new stuff - you know, stuff made in the latter part of the last century and the first 10 years of this one - is really pretty good. There are fun movies like Kung Fu Panda, Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Sixth Sense, Pan's Labyrinth (a fucking lot better than Henson's), Black Swan, Independence Day, Tangled, Monsters Inc...there's a shitload of good stuff out there that is NOT infested with pop-culture zombies. It seems to me that if you were really a Stooge or Muppet fan, you would NOT want them revived in a faded, pitiful, much-reduced state. You'd want them left untarnished, as they were, in their original state, for new generations to discover. Saying you want a new Muppet movie or Three Stooges movie is like saying you're a Loony Tunes fan and want a sequel to Loony Tunes Back In Action. Come ON. Really dude. Just...come ON.

I really hope this isn't just a 2 hour episode of the Stooges--that would suck. They should all be continuing the same story, but I hope its set up like it's a marathon of 6 to 9 Stooges episodes.

The Stooges' brilliance cannot be duplicated, neither individually nor as a unit. Would they use a score? Because one of the things that made the Stooges what they were is the lack of a score in the short films. But that's a small pick. The primary issue is the undisputed fact that any impersonation is bound to be a pale shadow of the real thing. Besides, Mel Gibson already did a pretty decent biopic of the group some years back. Michael Chiklis played Jerome Howard (Curly).

Anything other than a biopic...
by blayne
...is a STUPID idea. If I want to see Moe, Curly & Larry poking and slapping each other, I want to see ONLY Moe, Curly & Larry poking and slapping each other. Not some other guys playing them. Their story is utterly fascinating and could be a incredible Oscar contender for all involved. Stupid...

Reader Blog: Who's Next?
So there has been a lot of talk, some offhand comments, some full rants, about the managerial competence and questionable deservedness of Lou Piniella continuing to be the skipper for our beloved Cubs. A few of these people have suggested replacements, but it doesn't seem that this part of the equation has really been fully developed. While this is in no way a post saying "Lou Should Go"... it is suggesting that whether it be on his own terms or someone else's, he will no longer be here between now and November.
So, who's next?
Let me first start off by saying I like Lou. He's led the Cubs to back to back playoffs (albeit with 0 wins) and 3 consecutive winning seasons. He's shown fire when he needs to, and it seems he's been paitient and calm when he needs to. He's given hilarious interviews and given new meaning to starting a sentence with the word "Look". But his heart just isn't in it anymore. Really, none of the guys from the deflating 97-win, 0-playoff win 2008 juggernaut seem to have their hearts in it anymore. So besides the roster being overhauled (it needs to be) how can you remake the mindset and passion of this team? Well, before we answer that, let's look at a few things that are wrong with them. (These will be mostly mental things as a manager has more control on his ballclub's outlook than he does on their skills)
- The Cubs are 10-16 in one-run games, 0-37 in games when they enter the 9th trailing and have blown 17 leads this year. Those 3 things together suggest that this team is not mentally tough enough to stay in close ball games or pick up their balls and win when they're down.
- The Cubs have scored 195 runs in their 31 wins (6.29 runs/game) and have scored only 100 runs in the 40 games they've lost (2.5 runs/game!). This again suggests that this team clearly has the talent and ability to score, but only when things are going well. A motivating, positive leader is needed.
- The Cubs have 58 errors this season, good for 3rd worst in baseball. This is clearly slightly more slanted towards the actual skill of a team, but still, mentally tough, fundamentally managed teams do not lead leagues in errors
So, when Lou is gone, who can change these things for us? I'd like to throw out a few suggestions and pros/cons, but this post is really about everyone giving their input. I mean... who the hell knew who Tom Thibodeau was 2 months ago?
Ryne Sandberg - Apparently the "fan favorite". But why? Cause he's one of the few truly likeable, succesful Cubs of the last 2 decades? I guess he's been fairly successful as a minor league skip, but his fast track to the big seat scares me. Highly touted prospects and "saviors" do not fare well in this city (see: Patterson, Corey)
Joe Girardi - The "other guy" from the 2006-2007 off season. His dream job was managing the Yankees. And they won a championship last year. I've heard his name kicked around recently, but why would he leave New York until they force him out?
Mike Scioscia - Talk about a guy getting the most out of his players. Year in and year out some dark horse AL West team is discussed as taking down the Angels finally, but it never happens. Him leaving is very much a longshot also as they're currently in second, and playing good baseball. (Not to mention he's under contract through 2018??) But stranger things have happened
Ron Gardenhire - Another quality guy who gets the most out of seemingly less talented players. Minnesota has done very little in the playoffs under his tenure, so with another early exit, or if they miss the playoffs altogether, he could be available.
Joe Torre - Not much needs to be said here. Great with young kids, great with juggling egos, great track record of success and has already managed in the two markets bigger than Chicago. His contract is up at the end of this year.
Bobby Valentine - Seriously, he hasn't managed in the MLB since 2002? Between 1997 and 2001 he worked a record of 449-362 (.553) and took the Mets to The Series. I admittedly don't know what his coaching style is like, but he has managed succesfully in New York with some pretty big egos and pressure.
So that's what I have for now. Again, by no means definitive, but it's a start. If we're all mostly in agreement that this season is lost and Lou is even loster, who's next? Let's get some discussion going. Thoughts on these "options"? Who are your ideal candidates?
Go Cubs.
Reader Blog: Fun With Statistics!
In light of a few numbers that were thrown around in the shoutbox recently, I decided to further investigate some statistics that may or may not be trends. Most of these things are probably unrelated, but some of them are very interesting to know. So without further adieu… Fun With Statistics!
We'll start out with a couple of team-centric warm-ups
The Cubs are:
- 8-12 in One-Run games
- 9-7 in blowouts (5+ runs)
- 3-24 when they score 3 runs or less (!)
- 23-7 when they score 4 runs or more
- 11-0 when they score 7 runs or more
- 12-2 when they allow 2 runs or less
- 14-29 when they allow 3 runs or more
- 7-14 when they allow 3 or 4 runs (What!?)
Ok… So from that we can accurately say if we score 4 runs or more, we'll probably win and if we allow 2 runs or less, we'll probably win. Jeez, not too much margin for error there.
Alright, next let's look at some situational statistics for the team
The Cubs are:
- 26-1 when they start the 9th inning with the lead or tied (damn, alright, that's actually pretty great)
- 0-30 when they start the 9th inning behind (Holy. Shit.)
The Cubs have:
- 8 comeback wins with the largest deficit overcome being 3 runs (sigh, remember that Rockies game in magical 2008?)
- 14 blown leads (for comparison, we had only 22 in all of 2009.)
- 2 walk-off wins
- 0 walk-off losses (Hey! An improvement! We had 13 in 2009)
Wow. Alright. Those are some pretty polarizing numbers. Let's move on.
Time to pick on some individual contributors (or, probably more than likely, "lack of" contributors)
The Cubs are:
- 10-1 in games started by King Carlos Silva (this is my personal favorite and the one that spawned this post)
- 16-30 in games started by anyone else
- 11-12 in games where John Grabow pitches (I assumed worse)
- 20-6 in games where Carlos Marmol pitches (Only 12 being Saves)
- 7-3 in games where Aramis Ramirez does not play
- 9-16 in games where Aramis Ramirez does play AND has a hit
- 5-14 in games Derrek Lee goes hitless
- 19-17 in games Derrek Lee has at least 1 Hit
- 12-5 in games Derrek Lee has at least 1 RBI
Ya know, I could probably go on and on, but let's sum up what we've learned here.
- The Cubs do not do well in close games
- They will, however, win most every game they score 4 or more runs
- Unfortunately, if they give up more than 2 runs, they will probably lose
- If we have the lead in the 9th, you can chalk that baby up in the W column.
- If we're losing in the 9th, you might as well turn the game off.
- Carlos Silva and Carlos Marmol have saved this team.
- John Grabow and Aramis Ramirez have killed this team.
- Derrek Lee may or may not be expendable.
Go Cubs.
Reader Blog: Silva Reaction
My initial reaction upon hearing this:
"If the real world was more like wrestling, at the press conference to announce this trade, Jim Hendry would rip off his suit and tie to reveal a Cardinals shirt and then proceed to give Stone Cold Stunners to the entire Ricketts family and then down a case of Busch Lights with Albert Pujols."
Every deal he has made for the last 4 years, not involving someone named Theodore Roosevelt, has made us worse*
(*not actual statistic, just gut reaction while typing with blind rage)
Then I did some more sleuthing through Silva's stats and I figured it out. LOU HAD TO BE BEHIND THIS. As we all know, Sweet Uncle Lou is... to put this kindly, not very fond of Walks. The ONLY stat in all of Carlos Silva's numbers that points to anything remotely positive is his BB/9. He has the lowest walks per 9 innings of anyone in baseball.
And that, my friends, is apparently worth the career era of 4.72...
UPDATE: Sullivan says the Mariners are throwing in $9MM which essentially makes us owe Silva 2.5 this year and 11.5 next year. So.. We're basically saving 7 million. I no longer know how I feel. My blind rage has turned to confusion.
What Would It Take Threedux
In light of recent above average play, I thought I'd rehash What It Would Take to make the playoffs in 2009. I don't have much time because I've already used 2 hours of work time to think about and create this, but basically, even if we play .650 ball and the rest of the teams we are chasing play .500 for the rest of the season, we'd still fall short. In fact, looking at the Cubs remaining schedule, it's entirely possible that they could go 14-5 to finish the season and even that would still leave them at 89-73, one game behind Colorado's .500 remaining ball... Ouch. Go Cubs.
About Last Night
I have to preface this comment by saying it is not positive. After last night's win, it probably should be, but it is anything but.
I hate Alfonso Soriano.
In a city that idolizes the everyman and "grinders" and guys who just play the game, any game, the right way, Soriano is the antithesis. He cares not about his team or this city or sometimes, I don't even think he cares about his own stats.
I went to the game last night, stayed all the way to the end and when he came up with the bases loaded, no outs, and an 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts in his box score, I was almost upset. Not that he would screw it up. No, I was upset because I knew he was going to win it. I was upset because the guy who looked terrible for 4 at-bats and then just plain childish on one (the no run grounder), was going to be vindicated by being the de facto hero of the game. Anyone (with the obvious exception of little leaguer Mike Fontenot) could have won that game in that situation, yet it had to be the guy who mentally needed it the least.
You could make the argument that he did need it and it was helpful for him mentally, but I just don't see that happening. I see him taking away 1 thing away from this game: Soriano can do whatever he wants. He can be god awful for 12 innings, but if he does just one thing right, he's doing his job. It's like dealing with a toddler. If you don't explain the consequences of right and wrong, they're just going to continue to do the same thing over and over. (And if you don't think the analogy of Soriano being a toddler is accurate, then you haven't seen this embarrassing video of his cluelessness.)
I hope I'm wrong, I've been positive about most things that have occurred this season, but when that ball landed way out in center and he did that stupid face swipe motion to everyone (including stiffing Quade on his high five request around third. Seriously, just pitiful) I couldn't have been more annoyed that I stayed there for three hours to see him get mobbed at the plate by his more deserving teammates.
Alright, ranting finished. I'm not even sure this made sense; I didn't have time to proofread it at work. Let's stay in first. Go Cubs.
Lest We Forget, Rome Wasn't Built In a Day
I've actually been thinking about this topic for about two weeks, and to be honest it would have probably been slightly more appropriate before the recent stretch of divine intervention, but I digress…
The 2008 Cubs were the best Cubs team I've ever seen. (Considering the amount of bickering that has been going on recently I'm sure this will be debated, but statistically speaking and seemingly intangibly speaking, they were one of the best.) They could beat any team and no matter the defecit, they were in every game. Almost straight through from April to September, the 2008 Cubs ran in to few glaring issues that ever threatened their chances of winning the division and they ended up clinching a week before the end of the season. That's when the fun ended.
From one of the greatest offenses in club history to one of the biggest eggs laid in playoff history, that team took a nose dive. But that didn't even seem to be the worst part. Nor was the worst part that they were so dominant all year and were being discussed as the easy National League representative in the World Series. The worst part wasn't that pretty much the entire team, with a few notable exceptions, was expected to come back in 2009. The worst part wasn't even the fact that I had accepted that we sh*t our pants in the playoffs, not even that mattered.
No, the worst part was that I was convinced that no matter how good the 2009 Cubs were, the entire season would just be one giant pressure cooker set to implode in October. I was sure that from April through September it wouldn't matter how big our lead was, or how dominant our run differential was. The only thing that would matter would be 3 games in October.
Think about it this way: on June 22, 2008 the Cubs were 20 games over .500, had a 4.5 game lead and a +112 run differential! That team was unstoppable. I truly felt in my heart that last year was going to be the year. As we all know, it wasn't.
Exactly 1 year later we are 3 games over .500 and only 2.5 out of first place. Oh, and our run differential? +12. Exactly 100 runs less than where we were last year at this time. That's not going to last. This team is virtually the same lineup. They will hit. And the playoffs? No one's talking about the playoffs; no one is saying this is a lost season unless we get out of the first round. All of the pressure right now is on having a successful season and making the first round. You could even almost make the argument that stumbling and sputtering through the first 2/5ths of the season could be the best thing to happen to this year's team. Now the pressure isn't about "Yeah, you're winning, but what about in October? What you're doing now doesn't matter until you win a game in October." The pressure is about now. It's about a division race in the middle of the summer. Something the 0-for-October team from last year didn't have to deal with.
I'm not being naive, either. This team is by no means perfect and currently has plenty of holes. They've frustrated and infuriated me all season, but this division is still there for the taking. They are the best team in the division, and I don't think many would disagree that even in third place it is still theirs to lose. The two teams ahead of us whom we beat by 7.5 and 11 games last year? They got worse.
Look, (imagine Uncle Lou here) the point is there's nothing wrong with a little adversity as long as you learn something from it. At this exact point last year The World Champion Phillies were coming off a 5 game losing streak (in the midst of a 1-7 stretch), only 7 games over .500 and a 1 game lead in the division. I bet anything they'd say the adversity and challenges they fought through the entire season are what propelled them to be the last team standing at the finish line. Let's keep this in perspective. It couldn't hurt. Go Cubs.

Jury in Zimmerman case may consider other charges
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial want to ask jurors to consider lesser charges of third-degree murder and manslaughter. Prosecutors said they would ask that the lesser charges be included as they hammer out of jury instructions today.
The best is that prosecutors want the jury to consider felony third-degree murder with a child abuse spec. Zimmerman may be a wanna-be cop but Trayvon was well on his way to be a typical thug and got what he deserved.
If GZ did a drive by shooting or just plain shot him for no reason then I could see charges and possibly 2nd degree. But he was defending himself having his head slammed against the concrete. Florida law has a stand your ground law which gives the victim a chance to save themselves from thugs like Rampage Martin. The police were right in their original assessment. What a spectacle going on with this trial. It should be thrown out completely.
I am WHITE. I want to ask you people who think George Zimmerman was defending himself a question. Why did he continue to pursue the 17yr old boy when 911 told him to back off? Come on he wanted to be a cop carrying a gun on watch he is a #ussy piece of $hit.
shutyour face,
He didn't call 911, he called police non-emergency line. While he was relaying info to dispatcher, he got out of his vehicle because he lost sight of martin. He can't follow in a vehicle over the grass. At this point, he is heard huffing and puffing. The dispatcher asks him if he is following the suspect. Zimmerman said "yes" and the dispatcher said OK, we don't need you to do that". Zimmerman's response, "OK" and the huffing stops. Now, he is under no obligation to obey this dispatcher on the phone but he did. While going back to his vehicle, a confrontation ensued, Zimmerman received a broken nose and cuts on his head and Martin was shot in the chest. Now, at that point, SPD showed up, investigated on the spot, contacted the local prosecutor who said to release Zimmerman. For the next few days, Zimmerman recreated the scene for the SPD, took polygraph tests and passed, and his story only had minor changes or clarifications. It wasn't until the Governor, (pressed by Al Sharpton, Jesses Jackson, and BHO), assigned a state prosecutor that was looking to grab headlines since she was running for re-election that Zimmerman invoked his rights and sought lawyers. So, a manna-be cop shot a thug-in-training because he was being assaulted and was in reasonable fear for his life. Now, STFU!

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Strange white flash in dark room.

Well.. The fact that you both experienced it means that most likely it's not something like sudden neural activity or an increase in blood pressure, unless you both just so happened to have that happen independently at the same time. That's very unlikely, but plausible I guess haha.
That means it's more likely something external. Are there mirrors in the room? Anything hanging on/from the ceiling? Even if not, like aforementioned, a white ceiling is highly reflective, and since it was a dark room and a very short occurance, the distance it was from you may have been thrown off.
Even if the curtains were closed, if there was a slight draft it may have parted them some and allowed whatever created the light from outside (if that was the case) for that split second to occur.
I was just about to make all of those points.
Could it have been as mundane as a firefly (or other flashing bug)?
A few clarifying questions: how dark was it in the room, and how dark was it outside?
Do you live near traffic; have you ever noticed light from car headlights coming from the driveway, or a neighbor's driveway, shining into your room; when your curtains are closed, are they completely closed, as in "light-proof"; was there any noise at all, as in a "fizz" or "pop" sound; are you certain your reactions were simultaneous, or was there a tiny lag between one or the other of you reacting to it; what was the first reaction from each of you?
I can't tell you how impressed I am with your patience and expectation to find a logical explanation for this. Welcome aboard with the elite few: the rational people. Chalking everything you don't immediately understand down to ghosts and angels and aliens is so simple and simplistic. Knee-jerk reactions like that have held back progress for centuries.
Be aware that it still can be an unexplained phenomenon, yet still that doesn't make it proof of anything paranormal.

LA Mini-House Tour: Michael's Modern 1955 Home
Name: Michael
Location: Palm Springs, CA
Size: 1,250 sq/ft
Years lived in: Own (3 bdrm/2 bath home)
This Friday we're fortunate enough to have two house tours from our new tryout writers. The first is from Rebecca and a mini-house tour of a quintessential MidCentury dwelling in sunny Palm Springs:
Stepping into Michael's 1955 Palm Springs home feels like a modern time warp – past or future! Michael's desert home is full of textured accents he picked up on his worldly travels mixed with his love of classic modern style with a color twist. Thoughtful in his design, Michael's use of bright orange as an accent works beautifully throughout his space...
AT Survey:

Nice. I think all the warm touches (tan leather, orange chairs/wall) would be even better with a wood floor, instead of the tile. IMO, of course.
Nice job with the post. But what's a pier de tier?
I think they mean pied-à-terre, which isn't correct, as Palm Springs is hardly a big city. You could claim that any second house qualifies, but the phrase usually means a small apt. in a large metropolis (as opposed to your real home, the stately mansion.)
Looks more like Michael picked things up on his astral travels.
Fab place. I would re-think the orange. It's a bit obvious. And I don't think using Method products qualify one's home as green.
I LOVE IT! This house is amazing. All the touches and that original warhol is fantastic, did Andy give to you himself?
Who cares about champagne on cowhide. Darling I have seman on the finest silk from asia.
I LOVE that you are so eco friendly and use Method products. Now if that isn't saving the environment one day at a time then I don't what is. Fuck Eco Star Energy Saver its all about cleaning supplies.
All kidding aside the house truly is amazing. Maz El Tov.
Oh man! Why don't we have the choice to see all pix at once anymore? I don't have the time or desire to look at each one!
This is a fabulous place! Loved everything about it! Those orange chairs are terrific, where did you get them? I also liked the orange walls, its my favorite color at the moment.
Is anyone else immediately reminded of David Hockney's A Bigger Splash by that first pic?
The lack of continuity in this slideshow is distracting...as if the photoshoot took place over a period of months instead of a single day. I prefer the pendant over the disco ball above the dining room table, BTW.
meh...me too
Quote of the day (from lahomoowner):
"Who cares about champagne on cowhide. Darling I have seman on the finest silk from asia."
Very nice and I too noted the continuity issue w/ the chandalier over the dining table, Prefer the George Nelson pendant over the disco ball.
Love, love, love the house though, I'd love to have seen the bathroom and the kitchen more however.
While orange isn't my favorite color, I do think it works here quite well since it's toned down w/ the toupe and the white.
Nicely done.
A salt-water pool in the desert is a green choice? How so?
"Oh man! Why don't we have the choice to see all pix at once anymore..."
OOPS! User error :]
Your house is so cool....until regardless of how you decorated it....it would look wonderful. However, you went the extra mile and your place is fabulous. I also love the night color lighting at the pool.

Few things are better than online shopping. You don't have to drive anywhere. You don't have to brave the crowds. And you can do all of your browsing and purchasing braless and pantless, if you'd like. (Most stores even have free delivery now!) I, personally, would take online shopping over the real thing any day. But still. There are some things that are better left for the IRL version.
Here are 5 things you should never shop for online. (Put some pants on! You can do it!)
1. Swimsuits. Unless your name is Gisele, it's best to head out into the cruel, cruel world to shop for bathing suits. Yes, we all hate swimsuit shopping, what with the fluorescent lights and, um, swimsuits, but you kind of need to physically try on a bathing suit in order to see if it's going to work. You're not going to magically look like the model in the photo just because you purchase it online. Bummer, I know.
2. Jeans. Same with jeans. No one likes shopping for jeans. It sucks. But you need to try them on -- probably more so than swimsuits. There are a million cuts, fits, and materials, and you're saving yourself a trip to the post office or a UPS box if you just do your shopping at an actual store instead of a virtual one.
3. Foundation. Shopping for makeup is fun, and actually, I prefer doing it in person as opposed to online. Sure, I could get lost on Sephora's website for hours on end, but when it comes to something like foundation -- something that needs to match your skin tone exactly -- you're better served testing it out in the store instead of trying to guess.
4. Wedding dresses. At some point or another, we all looked around online for the perfect dress for our big day. But like my mother always said: Things look different once you try them on. You could see something you think you hate, but once you try slip into it, it may be an entirely different story.
5. Sunglasses. Again, you kind of need to try sunglasses (and regular glasses) on in order to see which best suits your face shape. If you happen to know exactly what works with your face, go for it. But I promise, it makes much more sense to try them on in real life. Speaking from experience here.
What do you shop for online?

Ditto the bras!!! I have NEVER found one that fit right.
I've bought all this stuff online with the exception of #3. If you know the brand and how it fits you, there's no reason you can't buy jeans and bathing suits online. As far as wedding dresses go, sometime the size you want isn't available in the store, so you HAVE to order it online,and if it doesn't fit you just return in.
I've bought all those things online except for the wedding dress. I don't like shopping in stores anymore. If you know your size and the way things fit then you shouldn't have an issue :) I just ordered an awesome bathing suit from a store I never buy from and in my usual size, no issues. I'm not an average sized woman either. I'm a curvy amazon. But I know what works for me and where to get it through trial and error :)
I *HAVE* to buy jeans and swimsuits and bras online. Being a plus size in rural Kansas means I can't just run to the store when I need to go shopping for those things... unless I'm planning a trip to Wichita or Kansas City. We had a local Fashion Bug; but of course the chain closed; we have a local Maurices, but at 31 years old, some of those clothes are just too young for me to wear.
So it's all fine and dandy to think that a person shouldn't buy those things online, but the reality is not everyone lives in a city and not everyone WANTS to. Online shopping is a god send - especially since I have had to shop for maternity clothes and nursing bras. It is rare for me to have size issues with anything I order.
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

The Boyfriend List (2005)
by E. Lockhart
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While I was stressed out about packing for a move, I wanted an easy-breezy, humorous read. The Boyfriend List is a great beginning to the Ruby Oliver series. Ruby is an engaging narrator who slowly opens herself up the prospect of analyzing herself and her relationships (family, friends, and every boy she has ever remotely been in contact with over the course of her life.) The form of the book helped me empathize with Ruby and her situation. The footnotes were also a glorious joy, though a bit cumbersome to navigate for the Kindle version. I will definitely be checking out other books in this series to see how the characters continue to develop and evolve.
I've had the worst cold, and I needed something fun and light to read. I found that in "The Boyfriend List" which I read in one sitting.
Ruby's story is very refreshing because it's so realistic. As an only child that tended to over analyze and then become very sensitive to the people around me, I felt that I had similar experiences in high school that Ruby experienced.
Overall, I'm so impressed with E. Lockhart's writing style. It's funny, witty, and poignant. I work with high school students and understand why high school feels like their whole world because it is. It's hard to explain that soon they will see that the world is so much bigger than their small high school.
15-year-old Ruby Oliver understandably starts having panic attacks when her first real boyfriend dumps her for her best friend and her other three best friends stop talking to her (in spectacular, public, and dramatic fashion, of course), all within a relatively short period of time. Her parents start taking her to a therapist, Dr. Z., who tells Ruby to make a "boyfriend list", a list of every guy who Ruby has ever had any sort (real, imagined, less-than-24-hour, or slightly longer) of relationship with at all. Told from Ruby's point of view, readers hear the blow-by-blow account of each and every boy, from the one she used to play in the splashy pool with when she was four (Adam, the mermaid) to the one who dumped her out of the blue and mere days later was discovered at a party, stark naked with her former best friend (Jackson, the actual boyfriend...not that Ruby was at the party, mind you, but an oh-so-helpful acqaintence gave her a detailed description of the event after). An entertaining look at one girl's journey to self-discovery that leaves readers wanting more--which is good, since it's the start to a series!
I adored this book. I really enjoy Lockhart's breezy writing style, and I completely identified with Ruby, the protagonist. The characters are believable, the plotting leisurely but engrossing, and the writing matches Ruby's style exactly.
Stayed up late reading this book because I'm a masochist... But it was really cute. I think I liked it even more this time around! And now the sequel is out, so I get to see what happens next. If I had to pick one of the guys (below) for her, I'd go with Noel or Angelo. My next choice would be Finn, then Shiv... But we'll see. I completely forgot that the book Ruby and her friends kept and wrote their ideas about boys was called [b:The Boy Book: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them|516182|The Boy Book A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them (Ruby Oliver, Book 2)|E. Lockhart|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175457733s/516182.jpg|504124], which is the name of the sequel... hence the link....
I loved this book, back in the day, and I think I blogged about it back then. I'll see if I can find what I wrote... Ahh... Here we go:
From my blog on 7/3/2006:
You know what, I'm going to let Ruby tell you what's up with this book. Here are the introductory paragraphs:
Here it is, the Boyfriend List. In chronological order.
1. Adam (but he doesn't count.)
2. Finn (but people just thought so.)
3. Hutch (but I'd rather not think about it.)
4. Gideon (but it was just from afar.)
5. Ben (but he didn't know.)
6. Tommy (but it was impossible.)
7. Chase (but it was all in his mind.)
8. Sky (but he had someone else.)
9. Michael (but I so didn't want to.)
10. Angelo (but it was just one date.)
11. Shiv (but it was just one kiss.)
12. Billy (but he didn't call.)
13. Jackson (yes, okay, he was my boyfriend. Don't ask me any more about it.)
14. Noel (but it was just a rumor.)
15. Cabbie (but I'm undecided.)
Before anyone reading this thinks to call me a slut–or even imagines I'm incredibly popular–let me point out that this list includes absolutely every single boy I have ever had the slightest any-kind-of-anything with.
Boys I have never kissed are on this list.
Boys I never even talked to are on this list.
Doctor Z told me not to leave anyone off. Not even if I think he's important.
In fact, especially if I think he's unimportant.
Doctor Z is my shrink, and she says that for the purposes of this list, the boyfriends don't have to be official. Official, unofficial–she says it doesn't matter, so long as I remember the boy and something about what happened.So, how this book is set up is that there are 15 chapters–one for each of the guys. She tells what happened with that guy, and woven into these stories are the story of what's going on with her to cause her to need to be at the shrink's office in the first place--why she's having panic attacks at all.
The book didn't really end like I would have written it (with a super-mushy ending). Ruby didn't even end up with ANY of the 15 guys!!! BUT there is a sequel, so perhaps it will all come together. It's a good book though--very interesting--makes me want to make a list too... except that it would be TRÈS long (as I am much older than Ruby). It would start with Byron... and end with Jason, my husband..... with a whole bunch of guys in the middle... :)

New media is one of the hottest buzzwords in society today, but what exactly does it mean? Simply put, new media is any form media of that does not fall under the umbrella of traditional media (newspapers, network television, magazines and radio) and usually involves a computer or the Internet. In recent years, there have been many signs of decline in traditional media outletsdaily newspaper readership is down 6.3 percent over the last three years, network news lost another million viewers in 2006, and even cable news lost 12 percent of its prime time viewerswhile new media forms are steadily growing in size and scope.
Here in Minnesota, the recent sale of the Star Tribune (it went for $530 million, a far cry from the $1.2 billion the McClatchy Company paid in 1998) prompted the paper to cut seven percent of its newsroom staff, with more cuts undoubtedly on the way.
How best can we understand these obviously important trends? Surprisingly, the answer may not lie in the classroom or conference room, but in sports stadiums and arenas around the country.
"There is not a better case study than sports to explore the issues of persuasion and media technology," said Ben Shields, co-author of the book The Elusive Fan: Reinventing Sports in a Crowded Marketplace.
Blogs: A New Staple in Sports
Most people know that blogs are a popular form of discussion for topics such as politics, entertainment or popular culture and personal journals. Yet sports blogs comprise an ever-growing segment of the blogosphere, and their popularity has not gone unnoticed by the mainstream media. To capture a portion of this audience, the Star Tribune now hosts six sports blogs on startribune.com, dealing with the Vikings, Wild and Twins. Many of the blogs are very popular (Access Vikings generates several hundred comments per entry), and several of the paper's prominent journalists have already made the switch to blogging.
"The best thing about [my blog] is the feedbackthere's instant commentary," said veteran sportswriter Britt Robson, who writes a Timberwolves blog for TheRake.com. "When I worked for the newspaper, I might only occasionally have somebody a week later say, 'Hey, I remembered your piece from the other day!'
"Now, when I write something and go to bed, by the time I wake up there are already two or three people that have responded in an intelligent fashion. That's great for my ego, and kind of inspires me to keep doing it," he said.
While blogging has given Robson a new way to showcase his writing, the Star Tribune's Steve Aschburner has a different opinion on newspapers asking their writers to pull double-duty as bloggers.
"I think newspapers have to be careful as to what they ask us [reporters] to do," said Aschburner, one of two dozen Star Tribune employees to accept a contract buy-out in early March. "The Star Tribune has always had a clear distinction between reporters and columnists. If you're going to ask reporters to do blogs, and there's going to be opinion and sass about the team, I think it's going to be harder to remain objective."
Aschburner, who has spent 20 years at the Star Tribune (13 of them covering the Timberwolves), believes newspapers should focus on their core competencies.
"I think that newspapers are, in a sense, almost like the 50-year-old who's either wearing her skirt too short with too much makeup or the guy who's squeezing into a too-tight T-shirt," Aschburner said. "We're trying too hard to be all things to all people. There's been a rush by the traditional media to keep up with the alternative media, and we've neglected what we do best. That's the danger in this."
Economics: Something Must Be Done
While some traditional journalists like Aschburner don't believe newspapers need a makeover to survive in today's marketplace, others feel that with declining readership and an ever-fragmenting audience, change is inevitable.
"The fact is that audiences are getting their information from so many different platforms right now. The newspaper is going to have to encompass all of these platforms in order to remain relevant with its readership," said Shields, a Ph.D. student in Communications at the University of Northwestern and host of a regular podcast at theelusivefan.com. "The newspaper is going to have to multi-platform its own content in order to remain relevant."
The Star Tribune's new online content (in addition to blogs, the website also now also features podcasts, video content and photo galleries) may be popular, but the fact remains that it is still freeand those viewers are no longer paying the 50 cents for a physical newspaper. Is such a model economically viable, or will traditional forms of media continue to experience financial difficulties?
"Newspapers have to go where the readers are and the readers are on the Internet," Shields said. "Their best chance [economically] is to monetize that Internet experience through advertising, since they're not getting as much revenue from subscriptions anymore. They have to create new products that they can actually sell advertising for."
Content: Where (and How) You'll Get Your Sports Fix
Today's sports fans have more options than ever before as to where they can get information on their favorite games, players and teams. In addition to newspapers, there is sports talk radio, a multitude of all-sports cable television channels and sports magazines, not to mention the behemoth that is the Internet.
Mike Trudell, Timberwolves team reporter for timberwolves.com, has identified a distinct shift in the way many fans now get their sports news.
"I think there's certainly a clear trend shifting towards the multimedia realm," Trudell said. "We're shifting from print to online content, and with television, instead of getting your news from your local newscaster, you're getting it from ESPN."
More often, Trudell says, the teams themselves are skipping the media middleman and supplying fans with content directly.
"People want inside access," Trudell said. "You might not be able to get as much inside access from the newspapers as you might from the teams themselves. Teams are becoming their own media corporations."
Shields noted a similar trend in football with NFL Network, a league-owned cable channel that debuted three years ago. Last season, NFL Network broadcast eight live regular season games, something that drew heavy criticism from fans because of the channel's limited distribution.
"It's not so far to think about a time when the NFL is controlling all of its broadcasts and showing all of its games on their channel," Shields said. "The bottom line is that leagues and teams are beginning to industrialize their own media practices so that they can create a one-to-one relationship to the fan; the fan is being directly communicated with."
As an employee of the Timberwolves, Trudell enjoys more freedom than traditional beat writers and is constantly seeking to differentiate his content from that of other media producers. In his short tenure with the team, Trudell has debuted concepts like live in-game blogs, video interviews with players and coaches and co-written columns with visiting beat writers.
"The challenge for teams and the challenge for the Timberwolves is this - why do you want to come to our site? What we want to do here is provide fans with things they can't get anywhere else," Trudell said.
Ben Goessling, a sportswriter for the Star Tribune's South section, echoed Trudell's sentiments from the perspective of the newspaper industry.
"Media needs to adapt and grow, and I think newspapers have been a little slow to embrace that," Goessling said. "You've got to provide something different than what all the other guys are doing. You have to find your niche."
Do Fans Win or Lose in Today's Coverage of the Game?
There is no doubt that fans have more choices in today's media landscape, but is this necessarily a good thing? Trudell believes there are positive and negative aspects to be found.
"There are definitely more options for fans - more teams, more writers, more TV, more radio and more Internet - but does that make it better? Not necessarily," Trudell said. "You have to be able to weed your way through what's good and what's not. The times are changing, but are reporters today better than reporters 30 years ago? No."
Overall, Shields says, fans come out ahead with the additional sports coverage provided by new age media.
"Fans can interact on a more intimate basis with their favorite team or star or league, in ways that were previously impossible," Shields said. "That fans can access the website and read the blog of their favorite player, or listen to a podcast with the manager from their favorite team, is creating a new level of involvement and it's making the experience for the fan much more rich."

This is a way for enchanters to make big money. I went to Burning Steppes when an invasion started there yesterday and spent two hours running from camp to camp, just killing rares. Disenchanting the gear and then doing void shatters, I pulled over 40 large prismatic shards an hour. 6 camps in that zone and only one or two other people there but they stuck to one camp usually.

Last Friday night and Saturday, Jews throughout the world solemnly "afflicted" their souls during Yom Kippur. However, most kids in Israel look at Yom Kippur as "ride your bikes in the streets day!" You see, Yom Kippur in Israel is the one day when TV and radio stations are completely shut down and the streets are almost completely void of vehicles of any kind. Ironically, some of the only fully operational locations in Israel on Yom Kippur are the hospital emergency rooms – since kids who finally have no restraints on their bikes, skateboards, and roller skates tend to take risks they wouldn't normally take – it's Yom Kippur – they have the streets to themselves!
Enter His Presence, You're Completely Covered!
Yom Kippur, which literally means Day of Coverings, can be a day of deep reflection on what the Lord has done for us. As Yeshua (Jesus) died on the cross 2000 years ago, the Gospel describes how the veil in the Temple was torn in two. This profound spiritual event reveals that the Lord gave all whose sins are covered by His blood access to the Holy of Holies, as He had become our High Priest in addition to being, Himself, the perfect sacrifice for sin.
Take Us Into the Holy of Holies!
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement is upon us. Beginning tomorrow evening, Yom Kippur marks the holiest of all holy days on the Hebrew calendar. It is the anniversary of the fall of man and it is the climax of the time of Teshuvah (repentance). Starting tomorrow night and into Saturday, all around the world, the religious will fast from food and water and read prayers in the synagogue, as will the majority of traditional Jews.
Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters!
One of the more beautiful ceremonies of the Jewish faith is called "Tashlich". Tashlich means to cast away. Every year between Rosh haShana and Yom Kippur, Jewish people around the world journey to a nearby river or stream and cast in bread crumbs as they confess their sins. As the bread crumbs are swept downstream soon to be out of sight, so they believe God will sweep away their sins.
Between Rosh HaShannah and Yom Kippur are ten days. These days are known as "Yamim Noraim", "the Days of Awe" — or also translated, the "Awesome days". In Judaism it has been long believed that these days seal your fate for the upcoming year — and also allude to your final destiny, concerning whether your name continues to be written in the Book of Life.
One of the major themes of Rosh Hashana is called Akedat Yitzchak, which means the Binding of Isaac. According to Jewish tradition, God told Abraham that the ram's horn – otherwise known as a shofar – should be blown on Rosh Hashana to remind people of the sacrifice that God provided Himself when Abraham was about to offer Isaac on Mount Moriah. It's abundantly clear that this event in the life of Abraham and Isaac foreshadowed God the Father's offering of His Son, providing Yeshua (Jesus) as a sacrifice for all men.
One of the mysteries of God is how He has placed the prophetic clock according to the Hebrew calendar. The feast of Sukkot is a harvest feast, which is also known as the feast of ingathering. This is one of the few feasts that has not yet been fulfilled prophetically.
The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur in Hebrew, was the single most important day during the time of Yeshua (Jesus) and still holds utmost significance in Israel and among Jews worldwide today.
Yesterday, we talked about "tashlich" — the traditional Jewish ceremony occurring between Rosh ha Shana and Yom Kippur, which involves casting bread crumbs into a river while confessing our sins and watching them be swept downstream. In this passage, however, we read about the importance of casting our crowns. These elders fell down before the Lord, casted their golden crowns and gave God the glory and honor He deserves. How much more should we do the same today?
You're in the midst of the Days of Awe!
From Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur there are ten days. The Lord gave these days to Israel to prepare for His judgment. They became known as the Yamim Noraim – the "Days of Awe". It has been long believed that during these days one's final destiny was sealed concerning the Book of Life, God's eternal Book of Judgment. Thus every year the Jewish people have observed these days with great reverence and repentance so to be right with God and with men.
May Your Sins be Removed as Far as the East and the West!
Yesterday, I began to touch on the significance of "rachamim", the mercies of God. The scripture expressed that our sins are removed as far as "the east is from the west" — meaning they are completely forgiven when confessed. On the feast of Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement two goats are involved in the sacrifice.
It's okay if you find yourself in the midst of a minefield!
Psalms 91:1-2 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. In a documentary mini series called "Against All Odds" a remarkable story is told […]

I was worried I was the only one seeing Chifuyu-nee in page 8... That you for confirming my fears were baseless and that she really was there.

this is a good one to be made into a series. I can't believe this author would just end it there. Soooo frustrating!!

This artist is amazing, one of my new favorites. I'm talking about his NTR, gangrape, mind break, and stuff like that of course, not crap like this one.

The moral of this story is very simple: if you think you're gonna have sex, make sure you take a leak before you do so.
WitnessX (Fri Jan 20, 2012, 7:37 pm) +1 points
This is probably just me, but if my girl peed on me (even if it was an accident), that would probably kill my boner.

Not specifically, but the bunny girl outfit has seen a lot of use in anime and manga over the years (Haruhi, the Daicon bunny girl, etc).

Editor's Rating:
The Good:
These units are designed for high volume operations. The side mount compressor design allows for better air flow that results in significantly longer compressor life. They have better airflow across the product when the lid is open than most
The Bad: Unfinished back. No sealed pan under product allows for spillage through to bottom storage.
