Rating Her Love by Percent
- 0%There's certainly no love, there's no interest,
There's really not much you can say,
You don't need to resist, you don't even exist,
She is queen of everything she might survey,
So step aside and get out of her way,
10% There's no excitement, too much is the same,
You're not even in the same ball park,
You still lack confidence in your game,
You won't draw her interest with any remark,
The ashes are dead, there's still no spark,
20% You're hoping she's noticed as you look her way,
She appears a little nervous, maybe intrigued,
But you know you can't continue this endless ballet,
All your efforts will leave you fatigued,
She's definitely out of your league,
30% Her friends think your comments are funny for sure,
You have her attention but there's little chance,
Because she thinks your behavior is immature,
She won't give you a second glance,
The odds are against a roaring romance,
40% Watching you all evening, with a smile she taunts,
She's attracted and flirting, a romantic match,
But she's not sure you're what she wants,
So for awhile she'll find reasons to detach,
She's still hoping there's a better catch,
50% She's comfortable with a friend tried and true,
She doesn't want to do you any harm,
But there's little physical chemistry between you,
She sees no signs of love she needs to disarm,
You're definitely not setting off any fire alarm,
60% You might be her favorite, then again you might not,
There are other good men hanging around,
As a fixer-upper there's potential you've got,
But she really wants someone more uptown,
And she doesn't want to let you down,
70% Don't say love unless you mean what you say,
This could escalate if you look into her eyes,
She's getting serious, she'll want you to stay,
If you listen to her feelings you're very wise,
You'll keep her off balance and she'll get butterflies,
80% She can't keep you out of her heart and mind,
She dreams about you and wants to make the leap,
She shares from her past hoping you'll also be inclined,
If you communicate well, off her feet you'll sweep,
She loves you, appreciates you, you're the one she'll keep,
90% She admires your smile, leadership qualities and mien,
She's open and frank, she likes your independence,
She reveals things from her past that need to be clean,
Secrets make her tense, she's let down her defense,
She dreams of the future and a house with a white picket fence,
100% She wants to make a difference as you weave new strands,
She gives herself absolutely, unconditionally, body and heart,
She shows respect and trust, and loves without demands,
Confident in your love she can concentrate on her new start,
Nesting, building a new life together, her family a work of art.

My Son, Listen to My Words of Wisdom
My son, there are a few things you ought to know,
First off, don't eat the yellow snow,
When a girl tells you she likes you as a friend,
She means, adios, goodbye, the end,
The tongue has the power of life and death,
Say something nice, or save your breath,
When you think you know something, speak out,
Listen and look wise, when in doubt,
Son, life has no easy answers on how to be smart,
Being always observant is quite an art,
If you look at the friends who surround you,
Your own character comes into view,
When people are angry, listen to what they say,
For what they believe is true will come your way,
Now for the things that can make you better,
Hold these truths close right to the letter,
If you hold anger inside and don't turn it loose,
It won't be long before you stew in your own juice,
In colloquial terms, you have to dig,
If you stir a stink, it only gets big,
If you're knee high in clover you're doing well,
You've hit pay dirt as time will tell,
If you've got it made in the shade,
You have no worries, your fortune is made,
The best things in life are not gold or shiny rings,
Love, respect, and honor, are what happiness brings,
Be a person of action, be a person of thought,
Keep out of trouble and do what you ought,
You are wise when you know others and what they say or do,
You are wiser yet, when you really understand you,
My son, I'll tell you a secret, don't ever get old,
It's only for the tough, the simple, and those who are bold,
Now for the real things you asked me about,
The differences between sexes that you have doubts,
If you think you understand women you're in danger,
The simple truth? Men are strange, women are stranger,
Know that women think differently than a man,
You'll always be wrong if you don't understand,
If you ever think you're perfect, it's time for a wife,
She'll love you and correct you the rest of your life,
Men want women to stay the same always,
Women want men to be different every day,
Women can't keep secrets, you should know that,
If you have a secret to keep, keep it under your hat,
Love builds bridges across unchartered lands,
Everyone is richer, no matter which side you stand,
Love can be magical when your heart it does claim,
Love also can be an illusion that you'll never tame,
Love takes normal things and dims the light,
You won't see faults and everything looks right,
A beautiful woman? If you wish to be wise too,
A beautiful woman is the one who loves you,
The best thing in life I hope you soon learn,
Is to love completely and be loved in return.

Wedding Bubbles Forever
It was the strangest of weddings,
An attempt at an unusual scheme,
For bubbles was the constant theme,
The geodesic spheres that were there,
Looked like giant bubbles from the air,
Some of the guests drove in Beetles round,
In bubbles some rolled across the ground,
And gathered in the largest geodesic home,
Round and spacious, no place like dome,
Instead of "The Wedding March" the organist played,
"I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" to start the parade,
The flower girl, a cute little bubbly thing,
Scattered pink bubbles, next to the boy with the ring,
Wearing name tags so the guests didn't guess at all,
Bubba, the Best Man, came in dancing, having a ball,
Bubbles, the Maid of Honor, was not to be outdone,
She was shimmying and shaking, having lots of fun,
The guests were prepared with bottles of soap,
And blew bubbles to represent joy and hope,
The minister began his speech with a little mirth,
"We live on a large bubble called Earth,"
At the wedding reception things were just grand,
Everyone began dancing, all that could stand,
The DJ used a bubble machine to let the music flow,
When he played the "Chicken Dance", they let themselves go,
Finally the groom held a large glass of champagne,
To toast his wife, his queen to reign,
And she giggled, "These bubbles tickle,"
When some of the bubbles trickled,
Past her grin and down her chin,
Onto her dress laced with bubble wrap,
Onto her white shoes, past her lap,
But the groom diverted everyone's eyes,
By singing out loud to their surprise,
And to keep their attention he chose,
To have bubbles go up his nose,
And everyone laughed and called it a night,
While the Bride and Groom drove out of sight,
Above them all, each planet and star,
Were reminders of bubbles wherever they are.

One Autograph for a Ten Year Old
A ten year old boy lies quietly in bed,
He'd rather be outside playing instead,
His spirit is strong as he welcomes each day,
As he looks at the tubes that keep him at bay,
His smile is there even when he's in pain,
His treatments are dreadful but he rarely complains,
He's a brave young man unless tempted to cry,
When he sees the fear in someone's eyes,
Too young for cancer to put him in strife,
But it's there uninvited to control his life,
The doctors are doing the best they can do,
They're waiting to see if the chemo comes through,
Being careful with our words to keep his spirits high,
To meet his wishes the family would like to try,
Signatures he's requested to place on his board,
From celebrities who are willing of their own accord,
Although bedridden, his eyes would dance,
Knowing someone out there gives him a chance,
Leukemia is not an easy disease to subdue,
Signatures would lift his spirits, perhaps from you,
If you're a star in sports, music, or screen,
It will make his day for your name to be seen,
Politicians and writers, you're included too,
Please be sure you include what you do,
If you're a friend or relative of a fabulous star,
Send those autographs from wherever you are,
His condition is critical, he's confined to a bed,
The hospital has limits, and no visitors can tread,
If you can meet his request just simply reply,
Mail a short note with autograph to the little guy,
If you would like his address to be sent,
Ask me for his information in a comment.
What's Prayer Got to Do With It?
When You already know what I'll ask,
Is it to stretch me well beyond myself,
So I can see the greatness of Your task?
What's my role in the words I say,
What's my heart got to do with how I pray?
Let my heart be a sounding board,
As I talk to Your son, the Holy Lord,
Fill my spirit with compassion and love,
Let all my words flow from above,
What's prayer got to do with it?
It lets my heart and mind be a perfect fit,
It's not in the beauty of words I spout,
But how my soul takes away the doubt,
You are the one I want to magnify,
Your word flows through me, it's not about I,
There are no words that I need to say,
Except Your will be done, I will obey,
What's prayer but conversation between You and me?
Your blood shed on the cross is what I see,
I pray for Your love to cover all the sins,
That the world displays, and those within,
I'm still learning what I need to say,,
Our heavenly Father, give us this day,
The things we need for our daily bread,
Help us face those things we dread,
Teach us how to reach out and forgive,
The wrongs of others with whom we live,
Deliver us from the evil that fills our day,
The temptations that seem to come our way,
All the power and glory to you belong,
I'll celebrate Your love all life long,
I'll pray for the boy lying in a hospital bed,
I don't know why it isn't me instead,
Nine years old with a terrible disease,
He hasn't seen life, so take me please,
Let life through his veins run its course,
Please don't let death take him by force,
I've wasted years doing things not so bright,
He's too young to turn out his light,
Innocent as a lamb, he's caught in a trap,
If it's his time to go, let him sit in Your lap,
The beauty of this world won't be his home,
But there he can dance and have places to roam,
With tears in my eyes I approach Your throne,
I'm ready, take me instead as one of Your own,
He's nine years old, lying in his lonely bed,
Heal him with Your power, take me instead,
I'll pray for the girl who cries in the night,
There is no one to listen to her sad plight,
We turn away from accepting her abuse,
Insisting nothing can be done, there's no use,
The Holy Spirit listens as her spirit cries,
Within each of us part of our own spirit dies,
All the promise, her hopes and dreams,
Are not important to us it seems,
What can we do if evil is around?
We call on the Lord for demons to be bound,
Each of us knows of wounds that need to heal,
Our hearts are willing and we want to feel,
The fields are ripe with broken people today,
Why should we wait when we can pray?
I'll pray for husbands to love their wives,
And wives to respect their husbands all their lives,
For the couple who argues in the night,
Haven't they seen love's pure light?
God has called them for so much more,
So why do they choose just to ignore?
Their hearts are hard, it's all about self,
There's not room for two egos on their shelf,
Their children watch and learn how to fight,
They think love is weak, and might makes right,
Rarely do children see their parents in prayer,
Little do they forgive or show compassion and care,
Do they really hate the ones they love?
Should they be listening for guidance from above,
What's so important about daily prayer?
It awakens our spirit and feeds it there,
I'll pray for the homeless on the street,
Who struggle daily for food to eat,
They have no permanent place to stay,
In alleys at night, and shelters by day,
What little they have is precious to them,
Their pasts are dark and their future grim,
Arrested by the police because they trespass,
When they guard against storms under an underpass,
I'll pray for the homeless, society's outcasts,
That someday all this will be in the past,
Prayer is the starting point for each of these needs,
It's just the place to plant the seeds,
These gardens of lives need tender loving care,
The work is ready, and now I'm prepared,
To carry out the tasks that started with prayer.

William Parker Quartet's 'Petit' New Album
The third album from the William Parker Quartet is named Petit Oiseau, after a character in a poem written by Parker. Jazz critic Kevin Whitehead assesses whether the album — whose French title translates to "Little Bird" — takes flight.
Copyright © 2008 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
TERRY GROSS, host:
Our jazz critic Kevin Whitehead says bass player William Parker is the heartbeat of New York's downtown music scene as a guiding light behind the annual Vision Festival, a good judge of talent, and a much sought after bass player who lends gravitas to any band. Parker also leads his own groups, including the Little Huey Creative Orchestra and a quartet that debuted in 2000. Here's Kevin's review of the quartet's new CD.
(Soundbite of William Parker's music)
KEVIN WHITEHEAD: William Parker has said he may look at his upright bass like a drum set. Each string has its role to play in creating a web of rhythm. His momentum is so powerful, a bad drummer can't trip him up. But with a great one, he sounds even better. 15 years ago, saxophonist Peter Brotzmann put him together with Chicago drummer Hamid Drake. He gave Parker's music a deeper, more reliable groove without getting in his way or undermining his authority. Hamid has played a lot of reggae and knows how to circle around a bass player.
(Soundbite of William Parker's music)
WHITEHEAD: Some years after that first meeting, William Parker formed his own quartet with Hamid Drake on drums plus trumpeter Lewis Barnes and alto-saxophonist Rob Brown. The horns work with and around each other as easily as the rhythm players do. So now, you've got four musicians jumping in between each other's beats like on the quartet's new album, "Petit Oiseau." Yeah, French for little bird.
(Soundbite of William Parker's music)
WHITEHEAD: One of the eternal miracles of jazz rhythm is how four grooves can have the power of one. William Parker's Quartet balances the imperatives of the individual and the collective in that good old jazz way. Everyone has a say in his own voice while they all pull together. At times, the music has the springy bounce of Ornette Coleman's classic jazz with one foot in the city and one in the country. Here's Rob Brown on alto-sax.
(Soundbite of Rob Brown's music)
WHITEHEAD: The spirit is strong in this music, not just because the grooves are killing but because the players are so well attuned to each other on multiple levels. That applies even when William Parker grabs in a jube-way (ph) wood flute, and Hamid Drake picks up a mid-eastern frame drum. They make their own music without disrespecting the cultures they borrow from. They make a case for improvising as a way to build bridges between peoples, if we would all just listen to each other.
(Soundbite of William Parker's music)
GROSS: Kevin Whitehead is currently on leave from teaching at the University of Kansas, and he is a jazz columnist for emusic.com. You can download podcasts of our show on our website, freshair.npr.org.
GROSS: I'm Terry Gross. We'll close with a track from another new CD our jazz critic Kevin Whitehead recommends, featuring Cuban pianist Bebo Valdez, recorded live at the Village Vanguard.

Holy cow....<quoted text>
Maybe it is because the world is so full of "words" with all of the technology we have, but I think we place too much emphasis on what is said instead of what is done.
This is what I am trying to teach my 13 year old daughter right now.
Attitude and actions are the most important things. Words mean little....except if those words are " I love you"

And apparently Amy Acker, Alexis Denihoff (Angel), Sean Mayer and Nathen Fillion (Firefly) are joing him. See the interview here. Apperently Joss Whedon took a month off after finishing The Avengers and decided to make a black and white, indie version of Much Ado About Nothing. I think the question everyone wants to know is whether its better then the Kenneth Branagh version with Keanu Reeves. The question everyone is afraid to ask is whether it will be better then The Avengers.
I admit it: I hadn't seen Joss Whedon's "Firefly" series until about two weeks ago. I know, I know — calling yourself a geek and then admitting something like that is practically an engraved invitation for a geek lynching. Bespectacled geeks and nerds everywhere are making torches from old issues of Witchblade and brandishing foam pitchforks from their LARPer arsenals, ready to storm my Level 85 geek castle. Actually no, no one's reading this damn thing anyway.
See, I'm not a Buffy fan. My wife liked it. Several of my friends and acquaintances did too, all (my wife included) people for whom I felt trust and respect. But watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer generally makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a spork. A magical, vampire spork. I thank the TV gods every time I turn on the tube that the channels are no longer filled with interminable Buffy reruns. As compelling as hours of female high school drama crossed with the trials and tribulations of hunting vampires in a small town must be, I just can't sit through an episode. So suffice it to say that I was instantly wary of anything else produced by Joss Whedon. I was also skeptical of the whole "space western" concept (and you can drop your Star Trek comments right there, bucko; Star Trek may be Wagon Train in space, but there's no damn horses). Firefly had horses. And cows. And revolvers. And dusters. And hard-eyed cowboy drama. And spaceships too. It all seemed a little silly.
And the first few episodes are a little silly, in a fun way, until you get really immersed in Whedon's universe. Pulling off a concept like Firefly is all about execution, and Whedon managed it. The universe was fully-realized, the actors were talented, and they bought it, which makes all the difference. Particularly when you're dealing with a small-budget science fiction show, the burden falls to the actors to make the story and the setting believable.
A character suddenly lapsing into Mandarin Chinese in the hold of a space freighter while talking about the herd of cattle he and his shipmates have to deliver to a planet run by dusty cowpokes would seem utterly ridiculous without a talented actor behind the wheel. Whedon had all the explanations for why his world was the way it was, and they explained them subtly as the show went on, but it was the actors who made the audience care.
Nathan Fillion dexterity with the setting and his character, Malcolm Reynolds, gave the show focus. The Captain of Serenity is a hard-edged war veteran with a painful past and a nihilist streak, but it was Fillion's gift for humor and the grudging morality he worked into Reynolds that made the character both believable and lovable.
And maybe that's the show's ultimate strength: it's funny. Laugh out loud funny, at times. Which conveys, indirectly, that the show didn't take itself too seriously, which made it all the easier for the viewer to get comfortable with the setting and premise.
The other actors held up their end of the bargain, too; Alan Tudyk was a reliable laugh and an interesting contrast to the grizzled fighters in the crew. The actors who played the doctor and his sister lent a feeling of vulnerability to it all, and the preacher, Ron Glass, acted as a moral compass, daring Reynolds and his gang to be smugglers with hearts of gold.
Whedon plays with convention and makes it better, always putting his own spin on it. The show's writing is always good, often great, and at times displays a courage that it never got credit for. These characters dare you to put aside your preconceptions and believe that they're out there, in the black, on the final frontier, and that ultimately it's no different than being on the American frontier in the 19th Century. Same characters, same stories, same emotions, same conflicts. But in space.
I've only got the last episode left to watch, then the movie. Discovering something like Firefly after its original run is bittersweet, because while the age of DVDs allows us to enjoy shows like these even after they're cancelled, it also underscores the fact that they're not making any more of it, despite the ongoing cult fanbase.

it is a farming simulator
If you like farming this is for you
Ugh, hate that game. 40 bucks for that when Simufarm will be free? Yeah, I'm gonna pay that. Plus the hills. The hills....is there any viable reason why there is no animation for driving over them, and you just snap into a different angle? The graphics are rather bad too. If they fixed those things, dropped the price to free, I might consider it.
Seriously, what does the 40 dollars pay for?
Sorry for the bashing, just expressing my opinion.
i never payed for the game
i thought the game was free
The demo is free but to play online and unlock all of the tractors you must pay. Did you enter a key?
And yea i agree with turbo, the game is very much a rip off you pay 40+ bucks and then after it updates twice you must pay it again? And the multilayer is so buggy its not worth even connecting.
yea i got the key i didnt pay for it
Hmm, what version are you using 3.66f? With the key you have can you play online and everything? ???
Carefull, If ben saw you saying that, He'd ban you faster than you could sorry.Originally Posted by rewew421
ive got it in the uk its around £30 in my mined its better than sim u farm cos of the realistic gears ect its a bit costly but its a great game if u like tractors ps geff gif if i were a modrator id tell ben that but im not but i wouldent mention that againe if i were u

The guy who made ST. And ROZ, Simufarm hasn't been released yet so i'm not quite sure what you are talking about :POriginally Posted by wolfie13
It's pretty bad to compare a commercial game to an undeveloped game that frankly is just pre-alpha status. As far as I'm concerned, there is no simufarm until the game is in at least beta. Most games get dropped in it's current phase.Originally Posted by Turbocharger

almost past beta1
Why even talk about Simufarm when we can´t test it ?
Just stupid.

Since there is a chance he may retire at the end of this year, and the only team he was with long enough in his entire career to have his number retired would be here. Do you support the concept of retiring Ben Wallace Number?
I think there is absolutely no reason not to, he won 3 Defensive Player of the year awards. He also was part of a championship team.
Aroldis Chapman 4 life
the dude was in Detroit for how long, six years? I don't think you can justify retiring a players number when he was exposed when he left your team for bigger money. Yes, he won DPOY 3x, but he benefited from the players around him. They made Ben look good.
Under no circumstances. Of the guys who brought home the ring in 2004 the best case can be made for Chauncey. Ben Wallace isn't even close given they way he left town.
I think they should retire his number twice.

"We react to war in this way because everyone has a right to his own life, because war puts an end to human lives that are full of hope, because it brings individual men into humiliating situations, because it compels them against their will to murder other men, and because it destroys precious material objects which have been produced by labors of humanity". Sigmund Freud in a letter to Albert Einstein
They have not been even close as a defensive unit since Ben left. It was
most certainly the other way around
That said, no way he gets his number retired IMO. The Pistons have set a precedent retiring Vinnie's though so anything is posiblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeee!!!!
maybe everyone made everyone look better? Cuz Ben hasn't looked nearly as good in Chicago/Cleveland since he bolted and Detroit hasn't looked good either.
If Ben made Detroit look good then he should have done the same in Chi/Clev no problem, and that just never happened.
merging this thread with one from a time when piston fans were bitter and hated ben ftl

Take action to protect our roadless areas
The Forest Service is considering a proposal to drill four exploratory wells near the East Divide/Fourmile Park Roadless Area. This is the first development proposal we've seen on a "gap lease" (an oil and gas lease, of questionable legality, issued after implementation of the 2001 Roadless Rule within a roadless area) that does not prohibit road building or surface disturbance. The development proposal also involves fracking in a municipal watershed.

So true Jenna. The last Dateline special that wasn't To Catch a Predator was the Paris Hilton thing
It's a special Dateline does about guys chatting with underage teens online and then they set them up. The guy comes to the house and then gets arrested.
Oh they're not making a point to show more military than anyone else, but it just blows my mind on this episode I think 3 have been military and some are married.
Dateline should change it's name to To Catch a Predator. That's all they have had on there for the past several months.
Layla - I don't know what you're watching but don't forget that they will always choose the most salacious stories. They have 5 military guys or 5 preachers or whatever out of 100 cases. Just because they lead with all 5 doesn't mean there are more military guys or more preachers doing whatever it is they're talking about.
I'm watching Dateline right now, and I get so pissed off at these guys on here. I always watch the "To catch a Predator" ones and the excuses these guys come up with are so insane.
Oh and the amount of military guys on here blows my mind.

Lowe Campbell Ewald wins ad work for company with troubled marketing pastBy Bill Shea
Warren-based advertising agency Lowe Campbell Ewald said today it has picked up a new client in Tempe, Ariz.-based identity theft protection and credit monitoring service LifeLock Inc. — a company with a troubled marketing past. Financial details were not disclosed. The account will be managed from the agency's Los Angeles office, LCE said. LifeLock (NYSE: LOCK) offers its services in either $10 monthly or $25 monthly packages. Campbell Ewald said in a statement today that it won the agency-of-record work after a review and will handle LifeLock's brand strategy and creative execution for broadcast television, among other duties. The agency said its first work for LifeLock will begin in December 2013. LifeLock has had marketing problems. Three years ago, it agreed to pay $11 million to the Federal Trade Commission and $1 million to a group of 35 state attorneys general (including Michigan) to settle false advertising claims, the federal agency said. LifeLock's fraud alerts protected clients only against certain forms of identity theft and gave them no protection against the misuse of existing accounts, the most common type of identity theft, the FTC said. Additionally, LifeLock co-founder and CEO Todd Davis displayed his Social Security number on billboards and elsewhere as part of the marketing efforts — but a report in 2010 by the Phoenix New Times alternative newspaper showed that his identity had been used fraudulently nearly a dozen times. Costa Mesa, Calif.-based credit-reporting agency Experian in 2008 sued LifeLock over what it said were false advertising claims. A settlement was reached in 2009. LifeLock had been doing advertising in-house before it said in April 2010 that its marketing work was awarded to McCann Erickson's Los Angeles office — a month after the FTC settlement. Last year, it shifted the work to Los Angeles-based Dailey & Associates, which is owned, like Lowe Campbell Ewald and McCann, by New York City-based Interpublic Group of Cos. Inc. LifeLock is believed to spend more than $60 million a year on marketing. Former New York City mayor and GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani has been a LifeLock spokesman. Radio pitchmen have included Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh and Paul Harvey. The company last year inked a multiyear deal to put its name and logo on the front of the jerseys of the Phoenix Mercury of the Women's National Basketball Association. It also has deals with Northrop Grumman and American Airlines. Atkins, other dealsLifeLock is the second new client announcement in the past two months for LCE. In September, it picked up Denver-based Atkins Nutritionals Inc., parent company of the low-carb weight loss Atkins Diet. In July, LCE became the U.S. hub for London-based sibling firm Lowe and Partners Worldwide. Lowe Campbell Ewald also is in the process of leaving its Warren headquarters building for new office space inside the old Hudson's warehouse that is part of Ford Field in downtown Detroit. That's supposed to be done in early 2014. The agency did marketing work this year for the Detroit Lions, who play at Ford Field. The agency, along with its Interpublic Group of Cos. Inc. sibling Lowe and Boston-based Hill Holliday, in June jointly won the $244 million Cadillac advertising account under a consortium effort called Rogue. Lowe Campbell Ewald also recently unveiled work for the University of Michigan. Other major clients include Alltel Wireless, Carrier, Chicken of the Sea, Consumers Energy, Kaiser Permanente, Olympic Paints and Stains, OnStar, USAA, the U.S. Navy and Western Governors University. The agency had estimated U.S. revenue of $121 million in 2012 and is the nation's 68th largest ad firm by that metric, according to the Advertising Age DataCenter's most recent industry rankings. Lowe Campbell Ewald has satellite offices in Los Angeles and San Antonio. Bill Shea: (313) 446-1626, email@example.com.

Broken Lizard's Club Dread
Movie Review
Broken Lizard's Club Dread
by Eric D. Snider
Grade: B-
Released: February 27, 2004
Directed by:
The comedy troupe Broken Lizard's new "Club Dread" belongs to a genre that has not been explored very often: It is a true horror comedy.
It has elements that parody slasher films, a la "Scary Movie" and the "Scream" series, but it's not really a spoof so much as it is a straightforward comedy, albeit one set in a horror plot. That Broken Lizard would even attempt such a difficult hybrid as comedy-horror takes guts, as it would have been much easier to simply make yet another slasher spoof.
The blend of yuks and yucks is not an entirely comfortable one, though. The most dangerous pitfall for a film blending genres is that the whole may be less than the sum of its parts, and indeed, "Club Dread" is less funny than a comedy and less scary than a horror. It has several genuinely hilarious sequences, but they are separated by stretches of non-comedy that, while meeting the requirements of a horror plot, are not scary or suspenseful. Being scared is such a different emotion from being amused that it's hard for a movie to achieve true fright after it's established an atmosphere of laughter.
The comedy works, though, when it tries to. The film is set on Pleasure Island, a resort spot near Costa Rica owned by Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton), a Jimmy Buffett-ish former pop star with a few tequila-and-beach-party songs under his belt. You pay a huge amount of money, and then you spend a week on Pleasure Island, with wall-to-wall luaus, keg parties, social events and more keg parties, all presided over by Coconut Pete himself.
Where the horror comes in is that a mysterious figure in tribal garb has begun killing staff members, leaving clues to indicate the entire staff is ultimately a target. Communication to the mainland has been cut off, and the boat won't be back to pick up the guests -- who have no idea anything is wrong, and are too drunk to care anyway -- for several days.
The Broken Lizard troupe members, last seen in the infectiously daft "Super Troopers" (2002) play the major roles, including Jay Chandrasekhar (also the director) as snooty tennis pro Putman, Steve Lemme as an absurdly oversexed cliff-diver named Juan, and Paul Soter as Pete's idiot nephew and staff disc jockey Dave. M.C. Gainey also earns abundant laughs as Pete's cantankerous, alcoholic head of security. (I'm sure I don't need to tell you what usually happens to heads of security in movies about homicidal maniacs.)
I have no major objection to the film, other than that it's not as funny as it feels like it ought to be. It made me laugh often, and occasionally very hard, and the scenes that focus heavily on the serial-killer angle pass by agreeably. It might be wise to stick with just comedy next time, though if they can pull off a good comedy-samurai film, or perhaps a comedy-zombie movie, I'd like to see it.
Grade: B-
Rated R, a lot of harsh profanity, some nudity, some strong sexuality, a lot of blood and violence
1 hr., 43 min.

For Immediate Release PDF Version
Seattle – March 11, 2013 – Get ready to roll! Registration for Sleep Country USA's eighth annual Pajama Bowl for Foster Kids is open!
The Northwest's #1 mattress retailer invites its community to hop out of bed (no need to change out of your PJs!) and participate in its dual-city event to raise money for local foster children. Pajama-clad Portlanders can participate on Sunday, April 21st, and strike-throwing Seattleites can join the fun on Sunday, April 28th.
Sleep Country's Pajama Bowl events draw thousands of pajama-wearing participants. To join the fun, participants must form teams of four-to-five bowlers and raise a minimum of $250 ($50 per person). All of the participant funds raised go directly to Sleep Country's non-profit foster organization partners to make foster children's "little wishes" a reality – activities and experiences like learning to play an instrument, participating in a school sport or attending summer camp, where siblings are often reunited.
Select your PJs, whether plaid, polka dot or striped, and sign up to bowl online at www.pajamabowl.com! Portland-area bowlers can bowl strike after strike on April 21st at Big Al's in Vancouver or Beaverton. Seattle participants can score turkeys on April 28th at either ACME Bowling, Billiards & Events in Tukwila or TechCity Bowl in Kirkland. Upon signing up, participants can also select their bowling start time – either 11am or 2pm, and choose the recipient foster organization that will receive their donation dollars.
If you bowl more gutter balls than turkeys, start practicing! In addition to having fun and giving back, participants have the chance to win great prizes at Sleep Country's Pajama Bowl. A grand prize winning team will be selected from Portland and Seattle, and receive a queen-size Simmons Beautyrest World Class mattress for each member! Scores are based on combined bowling scores, amount donated over the minimum ($250), and participation in raffles. Points are also given for wearing pajamas, and style counts! Wear your most outrageous, yet family-friendly pajamas, to earn the title of 'Best Pajamas.' Even if you don't receive first place, you'll have the chance to win fun prizes throughout the event including music CDs, DVDs, event tickets and more.
Previous Pajama Bowl events have raised more $615,000 for northwest foster children. "We are thrilled by the growing success of this fun, family-friendly event," said Terry Horsley, vice president of brand strategy for Sleep Country. "Participants can give back to their community, knowing that 100% of the donations they collect directly impact a foster child's life. This paired with the fun had at the event makes the Pajama Bowl something our communities look forward to each year."
Sign up to bowl today at www.pajamabowl.com! If you can't make the event, you can still sponsor a team or make a donation and help support the cause. See you at the bowling alley!
It is now easier than ever for you to make a difference in the lives of local foster children by making a donation to the Sleep Country Foster Kids program!
