EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 13England's POVHe and Prussia returned to the school about two hours after the girls did. The first thing England wanted to do was to find you and Hungary and apologize. Apologize to Hungary for almost killing her and to apologize to you for keeping secrets after he promised no more of them. He felt absolutely terrible for the whole ordeal. He should have just told you like Hungary told him to do in the first place.He screwed this up more than he did the first time when France had gotten in the way. He was such a bloody idiot. The first time since the revolutionary war, he despised himself. He ruined something, again, with someone he cared for deeply. Why does he always so these things?!He left Prussia at the front gates of the school and rushed to your dorm, knocking on your door with the side of his fist, calling out your name. You didn't answer. Hungary didn't even come to the door either.First it was neglecting America. Then it was lying to you about what you are. Wha
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 14"Hey! (Name)!"You turned towards the voice. "Oh. Hey, America."He ran up to you and grinned widely, his eyes shining behind his glasses. "What are you doing tonight? Want to go out?"You checked the date on your phone. It was Friday. There was no school tomorrow… you really weren't doing anything but part of you didn't want to do out. Your chest and heart still hurt."I don't know…" You replied."Come on." America said. "It'll be fun. Trust me."He gave you a small smile, pleading with you to go. You stood your ground. Then America shot you the puppy dog eyes. You caved. I mean, how couldn't you?"All right, fine. I'll go out with you." You said.He smiled at you. "Sweet, dude! Thanks!"You tried to smile back, but you couldn't. You started walking to your first class. America followed you and took your hand. You didn't care enough to take it back, so you just let him hold it. After class, America took you to the next class, holding y
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 17 FinalThe next few months at school were normal… if you could call going to school with a bunch of countries normal. Your relationship with Iggy got better, he even started to let you call him by his nickname that he isn't so fond of. You also started to be able to trust him again."I don't want to go back to my parents…" You said."Well, you are a country; you can go whatever you want to." He said."Like where? I have nowhere else to go, Iggy." You told him."Well… y-you could always… come back to England with me…" He said and you thought you saw a blush spread across his cheeks. "You'll get to meet my brothers." He said, trying to defuse the awkward situation he believed he just created."Uh…" You felt your face heat up. "I would—""Hey! Schwester!" You turned to the voice that caught you off and saw Prussia running towards you, with Germany walking leisurely behind him."What is it, Gil?" You said, you felt… weird ca
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 16You followed England out of the dorm room and through the school grounds. As you got closer to the destination you started to recognize where he was taking you. The lake he had taken you on your birthday. When you arrived, he just stood there, looking at the water that had the sparkle of light coming from the setting sun.The two of you didn't speak for a while. While you were fine with it, England felt awkward. How should he say what he had to say to you? How could he make you understand? He sighed audibly. He already kissed you, what else is there to lose? He ran an hand through his mop. You looked at him, though he didn't notice at first."To hell with it." He muttered and looked at you. "(Name)?"He turned to look at you to see that you were already staring. A blush spread across his face. He started to lose his nerve. He fell silent, staring into your (e/c) eyes. You couldn't help but stare back into his emerald green ones.He couldn't help but feel guilty
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 11You woke up to Arthur saying your name and the pinging noise of the plane intercom. You blinked the sleep out of your eyes and looked at Arthur."We've landed." He said and smiled at you.You yawned and stood up. He stood also and reached into the overhead storage compartment and pulled out your backpack and his duffel bag. The two of you walked off the plane and were soon met by Eliza and Gilbert."So how are ve getting to your house?" Gilbert asked."Since my parents don't know I came home, a cab would be our best bet." You replied.The four of you walked out of the airport with your bags in tow. You tried to hail a cab and after about four or five tires, you finally got one. You got in the front with the driver and Eliza, Arthur, and Gilbert piled in to the back. You told the driver the address to your home and you were off. Almost twenty minutes later, you arrived at the familiar front door of your house. You got out, giving the driver his money, and walked on the front
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 10When you calmed down some, enough to be able to see where you were going and to walk, Arthur stood you up and ushered you into his dorm room. He sat you down on the bed and shooed Alfred out, telling him to go with Matthew. Alfred would have made a joke about make-up sex, except he saw your red puffy eyes and a glare from Arthur saying "If you crack any jokes or tell anyone she's here, I'll personally kill you." Alfred, before he left, gave you a hug, which you graciously returned. Then he was gone, leaving you alone with Arthur.You kicked off your boots and moved up on the bed so your back rested against the wall. You pulled your knees up to your chest and wrapped your arms around your legs. Arthur sat next to you and put his arms around your shoulders, pulling you into his bare chest. If you weren't so distraught, you would have blushed."Talk to me, love." Arthur said.You almost started crying again. After you had ignored him, gave him the cold shoulder, even took Eliz
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 8You woke up the morning of your birthday late. It felt wonderful to sleep in. You were well rested and rearing to go. And what was better was it was your birthday. You yawned and ruffled through your drawers to find something nice to wear, and since it wasn't a school day, you would wear whatever you wanted. As you were ruffling through your dresser drawers, you came across an envelope. Make that two.One of the letters was from Eliza, telling you to go to the gym at four that afternoon and to meet Gilbert and Ludwig by the gates of the school as soon as she read that. The second one was from Arthur. You could tell because his handwriting was unmistakable.You opened the envelope. Inside you saw a handmade card. On the front was a picture of, what the caption and arrow underneath it said, Flying Mint Bunny, wishing you a happy birthday. You though it was cute and smiled. When you opened the card, two tickets fell to the floor. You knelt down and picked them up. It was two concert
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 15England hadn't noticed you yet. He was looking out the window. But then he saw your reflection. He turned to look at you as if believe you weren't really there, that you were just a figment of his imagination. His emerald green eyes glimmered with unmasked hope. You swallowed and took the seat next to him, unconsciously moving to the far side of the seat."Well, this really is a happy accident." Hungary said."Totally dude." America said and looked at you. "Right (name)?"You side glanced at England. He wasn't looking at you anymore, just staring out the window again. You sighed and looked at the table."Yeah. Totally." You muttered.Before the waitress came by, the old woman who brought you to the table, America and Hungary sat chatting with each other. They tried to pull you and England into the conversation, but every time the boy of you would give short, one worded answers.When the lady came by, you each ordered ice cream, you got the same as last time, Ame
EnglandXReader - Hetalia Academy 2You follow Eliza down the stairs and into a really big room that looked like it could hold a full on formal ball for royalty. You stare around the room in awe at how big it is compared to your house. Then to realize how many people are in there and you start to feel your shyness take control and you step behind Eliza like she'll protect you from the onslaught of people you don't know.Eliza turns and looks at you, smiling warmly. "Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of. Trust me."Just then a boy who was a little taller than Eliza walked up. He had white hair and ruby red eyes and a grin plastered on his face."Vell, vell, vell. It seems you have arrived!" He said with a thick German accent. "Couldn't stay avay from the awesome me, could you, Hung"He didn't get to finish his sentence before Eliza hit him on the head with her frying pan. The boy didn't look more than a little bit dazed at being hit with the skillet. Then he blinked and his eyes land on you."So dis is the new girl,
HetaliaxReader - Meeting Them (Ch. 6)Chapter Six: The Ring"See you guys later," said _____ as she picked up her packed suitcase. Arthur smiled and opened the door for her."See ya', _____." Alfred gave her a quick hug before she walked out. She stepped onto the sidewalk in front of the house and walked down to the house directly to the right. She hopped up the front steps and knocked on the door, readjusting her grip on her suitcase.The door swung open to a very happy Feliciano, who smiled at _____. "Buongiorno, bella! How are you this morning?"_____, to her surprise, smiled back. "I'm good. You?""Wonderful!" he replied, closing the door behind _____ as she came in. "Ludwig didn't make me go training with him, so I had plenty of time to make pasta!"She tilted her head. "Training?

"They're so strict––they never let me go anywhere."Alfred looked back at her and smiled. "Apparently, not strict enough to keep you from coming with me.""Yeah." She handed her ticket to the woman outside the tunnel and went inside.The two stepped into the plane and made their way through the walkways and doors until they reached the first-class area of the plane. _____ blinked when she saw it. There was no one else in first-class, and the seats were all cushioned and spread apart from each other."Wow," she breathed out, plopping into one of the seats."Like it?" said Alfred._____ nodded and set her backpack (holding all of her entertainment items, of course) on the floor beside her."You've never been in first-cla
HetaliaxReader - Meeting Them (Ch. 2)Chapter Two: The Offer_____ stared in disbelief at the man standing before her. "Alfie. . . Why are you here?"Alfred chuckled. "I told you I'd come back, didn't I?"_____ remembered that one day, many years ago––ten years, to be exact–– when Alfred and his family, after living there for only two months, were moving away. Alfred kept his head down the whole time, and _____ cried. She, being six years old at the time, stayed with the nine-year-old boy until his father came for him.As they were heading to their car, _____ immediately shot up from her seat on her front yard and toward the her friend. "Alfie!"Alfred turned around just in time for _____ to smash into him, knocking both of them on the ground. Alfred smiled and wrapped his small arms around her smaller body. "I'll miss you, too, _____."When Alfred released her, he wiped her wet eyes. She calmed down and said in a childish, choked
HetaliaxReader - Meeting Them (Ch. 5)Chapter Five: The Kitchen Ordeal"Yo, _____! Time to get up!"_____ moaned and cracked one eye open. When she saw Alfred standing over her bedside, she moaned again and turned around, her back to him. "Go away," she grumbled in a sleepy, muffled voice.Alfred scoffed. "C'mon, _____. It's past noon. Everyone else is up."_____ only pulled the covers over her head."C'mon, _____. Don't make me get the water bucket––""I'm up!" She sprang up into a sitting position on the bed. She gave Alfred a disapproving look. "I hate you so much."He laughed. "Yep! Now get dressed!" He tossed one of _____'s bras at her, which made her glare daggers at him. "We've got a long day ahead of us."_____ rolled her eyes as Alfred left the room. She looked at the closed door. "I really do hate you right now, y'know," she said quietly. She sighe

She stepped to the front door and looked back at the three standing behind her. She smiled. "Bye, guys."Natalia grunted and walked back into the living room. Yekaterina smiled and waved at her. "Do pobachennya, _____. Take good care of yourself."_____ saw the Ukrainian mouth, "Thank you," and she smiled back and mouthed, "You're welcome, Kat." Then she looked at Matthew. "See you, Mattie."Matthew smiled, clutching his teddy bear tighter. "Bye, _____. Be safe."Alfred opened the door and walked out, _____ following behind. They walked down to the sidewalk and turned left toward the many houses in that direction. It was two in the afternoon, and the sun sent down an unforgiving heat on the pair. _____ had to wipe away sweat from her forehead every now and again."So, who next
HetaliaxReader - Meeting Them (Ch. 15)Chapter Fifteen: Giving and Receiving_____ and Ludwig stood near the wall of Gilbert's room while the doctor inspected the albino, both watching the doctor's movements like guard dogs. He gently placed the end of his stethoscope on Gilbert's bare chest, causing him to twitch slightly. He coughed, keeping his mouth closed, as the doctor moved the stethoscope across his torso.After finishing with the stethoscope, the doctor dug through his bag and pulled out a cotton swab sealed in a small plastic pocket. He extracted the swab and gently pulled Gilbert's mouth open. He stuck the object deep into his mouth and rubbed the end of it against the upper-back part of his throat. Gilbert gagged as the swab was pulled out of his mouth, and he went into another heavy coughing fit. The doctor placed the swab back into the pocket and closed it."What's that?" said _____."A swab test," replied the doctor in a thick Italian accent. "He sho

If anything, just rub his back."Ludwig sighed as he opened the front door for her. "Alright. I think I can handle it, Fräu."She stepped out through the doorway onto the front porch, still looking at the blond German. "And if he doesn't eat everything you put on his plate, that's okay.""Ja."She stepped off the porch onto the yard. "And give him some honey in a little while, okay?"Ludwig nodded.

"I'm gonna miss you guys, too."There was a feverish knocking at the front door, and _____ and Toris both stood up and said simultaneously, "I'll get it." The two looked at each other for a moment, then laughed."It's probably for me, anyway," said _____."Yes, but still,"––Toris headed for the front foyer––"you are still our guest. I'll be right back." He walked into the foyer and opened the door, walking back into the living room with Alfred behind him._____ laughed.

You were shaking, pacing, and trying to drink water all at once. Your guitarist shot a worried look at you.You were the lead singer of your band (band name). You were really good, too. But the bar was really full, and you had this thing about singing in front of so many people.

You couldn't even bring yourself to look at your mother. Your so called friends knew."You knew, didn't you?" You said. No one answered, Gilbert glared at Arthur and Eliza looked at you apologetically. "Answer me!"You were so angry. Arthur promised you no more lies, no more secrets. And he got your brother and your best friend to lie to you too. How could he do this to you?"(Name), love. We did know." Arthur said and reached out to touch your shoulder.

The Big Space Burial Survey!
Space Burial or Memorial Spaceflight is one of those areas of Space which currently works economically. There have been Space burial flights (sending a portion of cremated remains into Space) for over 10 years now but it has had limitations. All Memorial Spaceflights have to 'piggyback' other payloads which has lots of issues of its own.
As you may have worked out from my previous posts, I believe the commercialization is one of the most important things we can do as a species. Economics drives almost all activities on Earth, so if we can't justify economic reasons to boldly go, we will never go.
This is were my survey comes in. If it can be proved that there is demand for services such as Space burial and/or other Space applications or 'Apps' then the future doesn't seem so bleak. If the service is provided and people vote with there feet we can get away from the constant cycle of looking for public funds to pay for all the adventures.
Innovation will lower cost in time, but there needs to be a market ready to supply launch providers with payloads otherwise we get back to the chicken and egg scenario. So if you could fill in our survey, it only takes 1 minute, it would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to share it as well, the bigger the sample size the more accurate it will be!
Space, the next industrial revolution?
I recently came across a quote from Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace and Budget Suites of America which underlined the significance of space commerce in the coming decade.
"The third industrial revolution is on its way and it's going to be huge… it will be comparable to the automobile industry, electronic industry and computer industry all thrown together"
Robert Bigelow, Bigelow Aerospace– Net worth $1.5 Billion (est. 2009)
So if a billionaire such as Bigelow is so confident to predict a momentous industrial age then what are the roadblocks from getting from here to there?
Space is currently is expensive. As discussed in the previous post all manned programs to date have been funded by large government. From Apollo to Shuttle, Soyuz to Shenzhou, all would have made a loss without the public sector. We can see this changing though. Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic are getting ready to go Sub-Orbital, while XCOR is proving you can do space on a budget with their tiny Lynx Spacecraft. This weeks update on the CIS-Lunar flyby (trip round the moon) by Space Adventures which will take to paying customers on an out of this world ride all the way to the moon and back show progress on the demand from. If you build it they will come. Expect to lift of in 2017, this could sow the seeds for a more economically sustainable voyages into Space.
Space needs capitalism. Only when sustained demand is created can you support an industrial base which will bring technological improvements and investments and feedback into lower cost for cargo to Space. Space is in a chicken an egg situation. Once re usability of Orbital crafts are proven by either SpaceX or Reaction Engines with their Skylon SSTO, will we see the flood gates open. It will be like broadband for the Internet and will unleash an economic tide so great that it will make the Tech boom look feeble.
Making Space Accessible to the Masses
It has to be the Holy Grail of human space exploration. A fully and rapidly reusable taxi too and from Low Earth Orbit (LEO). In the 50 years since the first Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin ventured into the unknown less than 600 people have followed. Humans have not left the Orbit of Earth in almost 40 years. Why? Cost.
Getting to Space is expensive… really expensive. The Space Shuttle averaged at over $1 billion per flight, for 135 flights over 3 decades. It is easy to have a go at Lockheed Martin and the Space Shuttle. It couldn't go above LEO, it could fly if it was to cloudy and it killed a lot of people, but it did prove one thing,its super damn hard to build a fully reusable space vehicle. Discovery did set records with its 39 return trips to Space but it could hardly be described as having a quick turnaround time with every component having to be retested and replaced if need be for every single flight.
Enter SpaceX and the Falcon 9, the commercial solution to the Space taxi problem. Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, Space Explorations Technologies has the small goal of making life multi-planetary. With the Dragon space capsule and Falcon's 1 and 9 proven in flight, Musk is tackling that age of problem of reusing a craft which would otherwise be dumped in the ocean or burnt up on re-entry.
The plan involves putting heat shields on both the first and second stages of the Falcon 9 and fitting them with retro boosters so they can land up right on a launch pad near the take off site. This does sacrifice the payload capabilities to LEO but the trick is to make some sort of trade off between weight and re-usability. This has never been done before so will be interesting to see if it can make the jump from computer screen to reality. Many have tried and failed, but our future as a civilization depends upon us leaving this rock or face the long eventual wait for the space rock with our name on it.
If it can be proved in practice we will be witnessing a new dawn in Human exploration with possible colonies on Mars for millions of Earthlings. So fingers crossed and lets hope its not just another big idea!
Scotland from Space!

SourceModule won't work because it's meant only for device-side code, and most of these libraries expose host-side interfaces. If the library is written with the driver API in mind, it's as simple as wrapping it into Python using, e.g. Boost.Python, cython, etc. If it is using the CUDA "runtime" API, it's not quite as simple, because then Nvidia's idiotic driver/runtime dichotomy kicks in and prevents direct communication. Luckily, however, I learned at the Nvidia conference last week that a) they're aware that this is causing problems, and b) this issue will go away in CUDA 3.0, which will be released along with their new hardware.

Typical Shakey's pizza resto. Ha a Pepperoni and four cheese pizza. Since it is the rainy season they hung plastic over the front of the resto which restricted air floor. No A/C, and no fans. A bit uncomfortable.
Typical Shakey's pizza resto. Ha a Pepperoni and four cheese pizza. Since it is the rainy season they hung plastic over the front of the resto which restricted air floor. No A/C, and no fans. A bit uncomfortable.
Prices are fairly reasonable compared to the US. I was intrigued to find Shakey's Pizza in the Philippines since it was founded in a city near my hometown here in Idaho. Small world. Service was fine, location was clean, the workers must practice smiling in their sleep.
Another typical Shakey's place in the Philippines. Outdoor dining area to people watch. Service was a little better here compared to other Shakey's branches I've been too. The employees seem to be more attentive to you which is nice. Food? They only serve thin crust pizza here.
Not too much to say, the pizza is ok but nothing to remember. .the service is less than ok ,luck of waiters. The ads are more promising than the real thing
We had a great time at this place. The staff was good and the food was great. And it was clean!!! That was a big bonus.
very good pizza in a nice loc ation , also nice beachfront location. Best recovery food from a big night of drinking the night before. So Many affordable options.
If your traveling to The Philippines you have to try Shakey's Pizza it's amazing and the Mojo potato bites and dipping sauce is so yummy. My Phillipino best friend told me you can't go to the Philippines without trying Shakey's and she was right
On station 2, close to all the action. We always come to this place whenever we're in Boracay and it doen't disappoint. We were here 2x during our 2013 vacation. We ordered the spaghetti, pizza, chicken, bottomless tea etc.The food was cooked well, amount enough for 2 (depending also on what you order), staff busy at times, service is slow... More
Pizza was good although salty and the refillable drinks value. You can get free water if you ask but don't expect them to smile about it. Service was terrible though, can't believe they add 10% service charge. Watch out if you pay by card, the waitress couldn't keep her eyes of the pin machine as we put the number in.... More
I know this mat sound strange, but this place ended up being one of our favorite places to eat. The pizzas were nice, but my favorite by a long way was the buffalo wings. Their service was very good and we got our food really quickly even though they were very busy.

The St. Lunatics are a hip hop group from St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 1995. The group consists of Nelly, Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, City Spud and, formerly, Slo'Down who left the group after a dispute.

The group was formed in 1995. Their first local hit was "Gimme What U Got" in 1997. The group thought it would be easier for Nelly to be signed, rather than the whole group. In 2000, Nelly was signed to Universal Records, followed by the rest of the group. While Nelly was working on his solo album Country Grammar, City Spud was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison for robbery. After Nelly's breakthrough success in 2000, the St. Lunatics released their debut album Free City. In 2001, songs "Summer in the City" and "Midwest Swing" were released. In 2002, Ali released his solo album Heavy Starch and Murphy Lee released his solo album Murphy's Law in 2003. Murphy has launched his own label, UC ME Entertainment, and is currently promoting his new artists.
In 2009, the St. Lunatics were reportedly working on a new album, City Free, to be released in the summer of 2009. The album was postponed until 2011. A song titled "St. Lunatics" was leaked in early March 2009, along with "Get Low 2 Da Flo" which was produced by Play-N-Skillz. The first official single released from the album was "Money Talks" featuring rapper Birdman. The second official single released from the album was "Polo". The St. Lunatics have been unable to officially announce tour dates for the album's international promotional tour. It has been rumored that management has attempted to reconcile with Slo'Down to help fill the void -- but the two sides have reached a stalemate due to Down's insistence that he still wear his trademark mask.

Why does NDN post this stuff? The premise that Herman Cain is intelligent is wrong before the writer, Mr. Wolf, signs his name. His second premise that the USA economy is similiar to Spain and Greece is horribly defective, using GNP statistics.
I don't copy and paste others opinions....It just gives them more creedence, but the question Mr. Wolf presents is so ignorant it defies logic.
Here is the bottom line:
President Obama won another term. Democrats kept the Senate. Allen West is gone. The Republican House lost seats but due to gerrymandering, but kept control. The Bush Tax cuts will expire. Hispanics love the Democrat party.
I used to be a member of the republican party, but the illiteracy and ignorance surfaced in blind hate for all others.
Can't wait until Gov. Christie has to defend his appointment of a muslim judge to Todays republicans in the Primaries.
My former party is a joke.

NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC
The Bahamas government says it will continue to work with the United States and all other friendly governments in the fight against the illegal drugs trade.
Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell has dismissed suggestions by former national security minister Tommy Turnquest that Washington was conducting un-armed drone flights over the Bahamas.
In a statement, Mitchell said that the matter had been brought to public attention over the last weekend and that Turnquest had informed the media that the past administration had knowledge and gave approval of the surveillance.
In response to his comment, I told the press that I could not accept at face value anything the former Minister of National Security had to say. It was he who accepted responsibility then for the state of affairs.
He of course has no responsibility to-day in law and so can be as loose and irresponsible as he wishes. Mitchell said that public officials and the political directorate have been briefed and that discussions have taken place with the American public officials at the highest levels resident in The Bahamas.
He said the Americans released a press report which appears to be consistent with what those officials said in the meetings with Bahamian officials.

If you've been around campus lately, you've probably noticed the massive east stadium expansion, and university officials have a few tips to help you navigate game day a little easier.
Students are back on campus for the fall semester and we all know what that means. In just a matter of days, Husker fans will flood a growing Memorial Stadium to cheer on the scarlet and creme.
Until then, Butch Hug and his staff are working to get things ready. "There's always a little confusion the first game where people are trying to find their gates again and becoming familiar with the area," said Associate Athletic Director, Hug.
That confusion will likely come from east stadium, where a massive expansion is taking place. Have a seat there? Here's what you'll need to do. There will be three gates open, 16, 20 and 24. From there, you can go to the gate on your ticket and on to your seat.
Students will enter at gates 23 and 24, and if you tailgate in the east parking lot, there's no need to come 12 hours early. "We'll open the lot gates six hours prior to kickoff so people can come in. They do have a reserved stall, they can still get setup. They can still tailgate and do all the things they did there," said Hug.
And what if you use StarTran or another bus service? They'll still be running, but instead of dropping you off inside the horseshoe, they'll drop passengers off at 12th and 'R' St. near the Lied Center. Even if you're not affected by all of this, Hug says it's still a good idea to plan ahead.
"Be prepared. Our staff has been working very hard all summer long to make whatever adjustments we have so that we have, again, a safe environment for everyone coming to the game and so everyone can have a great game day experience," said Hug.
Construction on east stadium will continue through the football season, and at this time next year, it'll all be done. Roughtly 4,000 more fans can pile in to cheer on the Huskers.

Cabooze Presents:
Mississippi Rising with La Madness, Space Cats, & Nice Beaches
La Madness, space cats, nice beaches
The Cabooze
917 Cedar Ave
Minneapolis, MN, 55404
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:30 PM
This event is 18 and over
LA MADNESS is INDIE GRIND BLUES out of Minneapolis. With a signature style & live show reputation that "goes all the way," they have taken their local scene by the hair. With the release of their debut album entitled "Chances Are", produced/engineered by Bryan Mengy (New Medicine) & mixed/mastered by Colt Leeb (Soul Asylum), La Madness is set on going national and beyond with their new breed of indie rock, blues and alternative/grunge.
Soulful singer & guitarist Kurt Vatland, returned to Minneapolis via Southern California and Texas with great songs but no band. He then meets Berklee Music grad Riggs Kessler (lead guitar) becoming neighbors, while a flashy and heavy handed percussionist named Aaron Willey simultaneously enters the picture through mutual friends. Bass guitar filled out the sound with help of Seth Levine (will not accompany them on tour) and La Madness was born. Only three rehearsals later the band is in the famed Winterland Studios with producer and confidant Bryan Mengy recording their first song "She's a Devil". A few weeks later they opened for a national act at the Varsity Theater. From there they go on to on both sides of town to a consistently growing throng of 'Mad Fans'. La Madness next crosses a handful of state lines & performs an all original set at the Shannon Hoon Vigil to Blind Melon fans from around the globe, and is a hit. It is the first road trip as a band and also where the title of the debut album is coined from within a smoke filled gentleman's club late at night, like something out of a movie. They return home to a word of mouth that now has them performing to even bigger audiences, receiving raving reviews from press state wide and doing radio/television showcases. The band recently hosted Rock The Catwalk, a full on rock concert runway show featuring both West Cost and local designers, benefiting a local breast cancer charity. Due to it's success, Rock The Catwalk will be an annual event in downtown Minneapolis. La Madness also performed to a very receptive and ever popular Twin Cities Morning Show on KARE 11 that morning in promotion of the event. The internet and previous geographical residencies of both Kurt and Riggs has given rise to MAD FAN support apparent on both coasts and claims LA MADNESS as one of their own. People want this band.
La Madness has a mainstream allure & appeal with soul from a glittered rock bottom, a reputation that never disappoints and a dying hunger for the road. Find them online, request them, join them and become INDIE GRIND BLUES.
La Madness is a member of the Record Artists Guild of Los Angeles, CA.

Sahara director Breck Eisner teams with screenwriters Ray Wright (Pulse) and Scott Kosar (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) to give George A. Romero's underrated 1973 shocker a shiny new makeover in this update starring Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell. Perform a Google search on "small-town America," and eventually you'll stumble across Ogden Marsh, a picturesque hamlet situated a safe distance from the nearest big city, and full of friendly faces. The citizens of Ogden Marsh are happy, albeit unremarkable people, but they're about to discover just how fragile their warm slice of the American dream really is. When a mysterious toxin transforms the locals into murderous maniacs, it's up to Sheriff David Dutton (Olyphant) to find out why a man who was once an upstanding citizen would attempt to massacre the local youth baseball team, and a caring father would burn his beloved family alive. Within hours the town has descended into total chaos, and the government has ordered it quarantined. Anyone who attempts to escape will be shot on sight, whether they're infected or not. Realizing that their only hope for survival is to fight through the madness that has consumed their once-quiet town, Sheriff Dutton, his pregnant wife, Judy (Mitchell), his deputy Russell (Joe Anderson), and frightened medical center assistant Becca (Danielle Panabaker) wage an epic struggle to discover the source of this malevolent scourge while fending off their infected friends and neighbors. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The mysterious and unexpected death of an iconic Hollywood star may be just the tip of an iceberg of scandal in this showbiz drama based on a true story. George Reeves (played by Ben Affleck) was a journeyman actor who had played a small role in Gone With the Wind and appeared onscreen with the likes of James Cagney, Rita Hayworth, and Marlene Dietrich, but his career was not exactly booming when he was cast as comic-book hero Superman in a 1951 B-movie, Superman and the Mole Men. A year later, the producers of the movie launched a syndicated Superman television series with Reeves returning as "The Man of Steel." The show became a major hit, and Reeves was a star at last. However, on June 16, 1959, to the shock of many, Reeves was found dead of a gunshot wound. Police soon declared Reeves' death a suicide and closed the case, but his mother (Lois Smith) refused to believe her son took his own life, and hired Louis Simo (Adrien Brody), a private detective, to find out the truth about her son's passing. Simo found that many Hollywood insiders did not care to cooperate as he researched the Reeves case, but his digging uncovered plenty of evidence suggesting the actor did not take his own life, and he also revealed one of Reeves' deepest secrets -- while he was engaged to marry a pretty young starlet, Leonore Lemmon (Robin Tunney), Reeves was also carrying on an affair with the beautiful Toni Mannix (Diane Lane), the wife of Eddie Mannix (Bob Hoskins), a powerful and ill-tempered executive at MGM. While the producers of Hollywoodland based their story on factual accounts of the investigation into the death of George Reeves, they were denied permission to use the Superman logo and the familiar introduction to the Adventures of Superman television show by the respective copyright holders. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A kid who hates ants finds himself living among the six-legged critters in this computer-animated comedy-adventure. Lucas Nickle (voice of Zach Tyler Eisen) is a ten-year-old boy whose family has just moved to a new town, and Lucas isn't enjoying it much -- he hasn't made any friends yet, his big sister ignores him, his parents (voices of Larry Miller and Cheri Oteri) are occupied with their upcoming vacation in Mexico, and his loving but slightly crazy grandmother (voice of Lily Tomlin) is convinced space aliens are casing out the neighborhood. To make matters worse, the local bully has found Lucas and is making his life miserable, so the boy looks for someone
can push around -- and he soon finds a large colony of ants in his yard. Lucas takes out his frustrations by stomping, drowning, and burying the bugs, little realizing the ants see him as a threat to their safety and aren't about take his attacks lying down. Zoc (voice of Nicolas Cage) is a "wizard ant" who creates a formula that shrinks Lucas to the size of an insect, and the tiny boy is brought before the leader of the Ant Council (voice of Ricardo Montalban) and the Queen of the Colony (voice of Meryl Streep) to answer for his crimes against the ants. Showing compassion, the queen sentences Lucas not to death, but to live among them and see how difficult their circumstances can be. Nurse Ant Hova (voice of Julia Roberts) is put in charge of looking after Lucas, and with the help of Scout Fugax (voice of Bruce Campbell) and Forager Kreela (voice of Regina King), Lucas gets an eye-opening picture of how the other half lives -- just in time for Lucas to help the ants in an all-out battle against Stan (voice of Paul Giamatti), a pest-control man brought in to get rid of the bugs. Produced by Tom Hanks, The Ant Bully was written and directed by John A. Davis, who handled the same chores on the film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An aging societal outcast and a motherless duck set out to find shelter and meaning in a future where people are separated by as many degrees as they are connected. The year is 2009, and the last public park in Los Angeles has been closed to the public. The city is a desert, and dispossessed widower Arthur Pratt (Philip Baker Hall) has outlived his usefulness. A retired history professor who spent all of his savings caring for his beloved late wife, Arthur sets out to the park where his son and dearly departed are buried to pay his final respects before ending his own life. Arthur's grim westward march hits an unexpected hitch, however, when an orphaned duckling that has recently cheated death adopts the homeless septuagenarian as a surrogate mother figure. Once again displaced when their park becomes a landfill and their pond is drained, the unlikely pair embarks on a Sisyphean journey to find shelter and meaning in a world where their lives seem to have little value. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A deranged psychopath returns from the grave in the form of a delicious but deadly treat in B-movie specialist Charles Band's bloody tale of baked goods gone bad. When psychotic killer Millard Findlemeyer (Gary Busey) entered a small-town diner and rained a shower of lead upon the Leigh family, the only family member to survive the horrifying ordeal was devoted daughter Sara Leigh (Robin Sydney). It was Sara's heartfelt testimony that sent Findlemeyer to fry in the electric chair, and also caused the killer's vengeful mother to cook up a diabolical plot for the ultimate revenge. After placing an ancient curse on her son's ashes, Mrs. Findlemeyer mixes the remains into a secret gingerbread cookie recipe and has the malicious mix sent to Sara Leigh's bakery. When bakery employee Brick Fields (Jonathon Chase) cuts himself while preparing the cookies and a drop of his blood spills into the mix, a twelve-inch tall terror emerges from the oven determined to finish the job that he failed to complete the first time around. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An ordinary man with an extraordinary gift must save the planet from evil in this action-packed fantasy. Unknown to most people, the world is crowded with spirits both good and evil who walk among us in human guise. One of the few who can see these spirits is John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), but the responsibility of his vision is more than he can stand, and he tries to kill himself. Saved from death, Constantine must now atone for his actions by acting as a guardian in the middle ground between Paradise and Hell. Constantine also makes the acquaintance of Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), a police detective who becomes aware of his unusual gift while looking into the death of her sister; he leads her into the unknown world of the spirits and soon circumstances demand that they join forces in a desperate bid to save humanity from evil. Constantine also features Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, and Gavin Rossdale, the latter best known as the lead singer of the rock group Bush. Michelle Monaghan (Made of Honor) was originally in the film (cast as a half-breed demon) but director Francis Lawrence cut her scenes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Deadwood: A Lie Agreed Upon, Part 2
In the wake of Martha (Anna Gunn) and William's (Josh Eriksson) arrival, Seth (Timothy Olyphant) tells Alma (Molly Parker) that they must either leave the camp immediately or "remain and sever connection." He wants Alma to decide their course, and gives her a few hours to do so. Trixie (Paula Malcomson) is tending to the wounded Sol (John Hawkes), who suggests to Seth that if he left with Alma, it would be out of shame, not love. "You think shame will end when you clear the camp?" he asks. Alma confides in the tutor she's hired for Sophia (Bree Seanna Wall), Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson), who suggests that Seth might not be planning to take Sophia along with them for their adventurous life on the run. Charlie (Dayton Callie), fearful of Seth's temper, tries to forestall Seth's returning to the Gem to retrieve his gun and badge. Silas (Titus Welliver) tells Al (Ian McShane) that the powers in Yankton are worried about Seth's prominence in the camp, because Seth has powerful connections in Montana, which could annex the territory instead of Dakota. Al, whose health problems extend well beyond the injuries incurred in his fight with Seth, refuses to talk to the Doc (Brad Dourif) about his difficulty passing water. Dan (W. Earl Brown), feeling increasingly threatened by Silas, picks a fight when Silas' old partner, Hawkeye (Monty Henson), arrives in camp. Later, Al reassures him, "Whatever looks ahead of grievous abominations and disorder, you and me walk into it together, like always." ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Deadwood: New Money
Al (Ian McShane) is apparently suffering from kidney stones, and his health has worsened to the point where he cannot speak. He has locked himself in his office, and writhes on the floor in agony as his minions knock and deliver news, uncertain as to what to do. Francis Wolcott (Garret Dillahunt, who played Jack McCall in season one) arrives in the camp, looking to buy gold claims, and is immediately taken for a fish by E.B. (William Sanderson), who offers to sell Wolcott the last letter written by Wild Bill Hickok, falsely claiming that it makes reference to a massive find. Maddie (Alice Krige) knows precisely who Wolcott is, and tells Joanie (Kim Dickens), who is dismayed to learn that Maddie had a hidden motive for coming to Deadwood. Wolcott is a "specialist" who has a particular fondness for one of Maddie's girls, and who has been known to become violent with whores. He is also a talented geologist in the employ of the ruthless and powerful mining magnate George Hearst, and it's clear that Maddie plans to use his perverse interests against him. Alma (Molly Parker) tells Ellsworth (Jim Beaver) that she's thinking of buying E.B.'s hotel, mainly because she despises E.B. and would like to see him out in the street. She also decides to fire Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson), complaining about the young woman's "air of disapproval." Trixie (Paula Malcomson) asks Sol (John Hawkes) to teach her accounting. Wolcott enlists both E.B. and Cy (Powers Boothe) to circulate rumors about the validity of the camp's gold claims. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Deadwood: Requiem for a Gleet
Trixie (Paula Malcomson) is tending to Al (Ian McShane), whose condition is worsening. Doc (Brad Dourif) decides that he may have to perform surgery, which Al would stand little chance of surviving. Ellsworth (Jim Beaver) catches Wolcott (Garret Dillahunt) snooping around at Alma's (Molly Parker) claim and confronts him. Ellsworth is painfully familiar with George Hearst's operation, and makes his disposition toward Hearst quite clear. Lawrence County Commissioner Hugo Jarry (Stephen Tobolowsky) arrives from Yankton, and confirms to Cy (Powers Boothe) and Wolcott that the gold claims will be validated. Panicked prospectors are selling their claims to Cy, who is acting as a front for Hearst. When Alma notes the air of panic in the camp, Ellsworth reassures her. "Panic's easier on the back than the short-handed shovel," he jokes, before noting that Hearst's man's presence in the camp might have something to do with the rumors that have been circulating. E.B. mentions to Alma that the camp is in peril, and she coolly offers to buy his hotel, sending him into his own personal panic. Sol (John Hawkes) suggests to Seth (Timothy Olyphant) that they could use Alma's holdings as collateral to open a bank in Deadwood, but Seth doesn't want to involve Alma. Mr. Lee (Philip Moon), another of Hearst's employees, arrives in camp and makes his presence know in "Celestials' Alley," much to Wu's (Keone Young) dismay. Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson), having lost her job, turns to an unlikely source for help. Carrie (Izabella Miko), the whore Wolcott likes, arrives in camp. Joanie (Kim Dickens) expresses further trepidation about Maddie's (Alice Krige) plot. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Deadwood: Complications
Al (Ian McShane) regains consciousness, but he's in bad shape. Alma (Molly Parker) learns that she's pregnant, and, feeling that Doc (Brad Dourif) has been judgmental with her, she turns to Trixie (Paula Malcomson). Alma explains that she wants children of her own, but she has a physical deformity that could endanger her life if she tried to bear a child. Trixie later upbraids Doc about his attitude, and urges him to see Alma. Samuel Fields (Franklyn Ajaye), who calls himself the "Nigger General," arrives in camp to return a horse to Hostetler (Richard Gant), and befriends Jane (Robin Weigert) over an afternoon drink. Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson) tells Silas (Titus Welliver) that she fears Alma. She claims that Alma admitted to killing her husband, and named Al as her instrument. When she then asks to meet Al, Silas moans, "Why do I feel lucky we didn't meet across a poker table?" Doris (Erica Swanson) reports to Cy (Powers Boothe), who is intrigued to learn of Wolcott's (Garret Dillahunt) disturbing activities at the Chez Amis. Jarry (Stephen Tobolowsky) gives Merrick (Jeffrey Jones) a notice about the validity of the camp's gold claims to print on the front page of the paper. Merrick, recognizing that the notice will only foster more confusion about the claims (as per Jarry's intentions), decides to dissociate his paper from the notice by simply posting it outside his office. The posting gets a number of claim holders riled up. Cy stops by and offers to buy their claims, but they're more interested in seeking revenge upon the author of the statement, Jarry. Led by Steve the Drunk (Michael Harney), the mob goes after Jarry, and when Seth (Timothy Olyphant) protects the commissioner, they turn their attention elsewhere. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Deadwood: Something Very Expensive
Alma (Molly Parker) proposes the formation of a bank in Deadwood, with Sol (John Hawkes) as chief officer. She also has a bout of morning sickness in the presence of Sol and Ellsworth (Jim Beaver). When Sol reports the news to Seth (Timothy Olyphant), he's less than thrilled. Merrick (Jeffrey Jones) gives a very informative tour of the camp to Mary Stokes (Carla Bianchi), the new schoolteacher. When Ellsworth approaches Trixie (Paula Malcomson) to discuss Alma's predicament, she proposes an interesting solution. Al (Ian McShane), feeling stronger, holds meetings with several prominent people in camp. Trixie tells him about the bank. E.B. (William Sanderson) reluctantly tells him about the apparent partnership between Cy (Powers Boothe), Wolcott (Garret Dillahunt), and Jarry (Stephen Tobolowsky). Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson) tells him the fascinating story of how Alma admitted to hiring Al to kill her husband. Al quickly recognizes that Isringhausen is working for the Pinkerton Agency. They want to pay Al to implicate Alma in Brom's death, after which they'll let him escape with their money. He asks for some time to think about it. Al also meets with Lee (Philip Moon) in an effort to gauge how much "juice" he's got. Steve (Michael Harney), angry at Seth for stopping him from tarring and feathering the innocent Fields (Franklyn Ajaye), plans his own unique form of vengeance involving the sheriff's horse. Jarry is angry at Cy because Cy didn't protect him from the angry mob. Merrick pays a price for his refusal to print Jarry's notice. Cy, perhaps realizing his advantage has slipped a bit, makes insinuations to Wolcott about his reputedly violent dealings with the whores. When Cy threatens to inform Wolcott's employer, George Hearst, Wolcott is provoked to take drastic action. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Deadwood [TV Series]
Forget Gunsmoke and Bonanza. The HBO series Deadwood was as close to the "real thing" as any Western fan was ever going to see on television -- and in its pursuit of reality, the series was not afraid of smashing icons or skewering sacred cows. Could anything less be expected of executive producer David Milch (NYPD Blue)? The series began its story in 1876, two weeks after Custer's demise at the Little Big Horn, and in the midst of "gold fever" brought about by a major ore strike in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. Into the wide-open and illegal settlement of Deadwood rode a terrifying variety of hard-bitten men and hard-living women. Keith Carradine headed the cast (at least in the early episodes) as gunfighter and Indian scout Wild Bill Hickok -- not the clean-cut hero of movie and TV fame, but an embittered, disillusioned, cold-hearted killer who trusted no one, least of all himself. Traveling to Deadwood with old friend Charlie Utter (Dayton Callie) and devoted, foul-mouthed sidekick Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert), Hickok quickly met and befriended former lawman Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant), the archetypal man with a past who held out hope (but not much) that Deadwood would permit him a new start in life. The destinies of both Hickok and Bullock were gradually intertwined with that of self-styled town boss Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), the manipulative, cheerfully decadent owner of Deadwood's biggest "saloon," the Gem. Several major and minor characters passed through Deadwood, some for a long time, some only as long as it took to be shot down in the street. One of the more fascinating peripheral characters was gimlet-eyed cardsharp Eddie Sawyer, well played by real-life magician and master card manipulator Ricky Jay. Festooned with sex, sadism, sudden death, rampant profanity, and mud, mud, mud, Deadwood was not your father's "cowboy" show. The series drew huge ratings and enthusiastic critical plaudits from the moment it made its first appearance on March 21, 2004 -- and within a few weeks of this debut, all audience expectations were dashed to bits when one of the series' "stars" paid homage to historical accuracy by being abruptly killed off. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Deadwood: Here Was a Man
Bill's (Keith Carradine) luck has taken a turn. In a poker game at the new Bella Union, he cleans out Jack McCall (Garret Dillahunt), who does not take it well, even after Bill kindly gives him a dollar to get some food. Seth (Timothy Olyphant), busy building the hardware store, tells Bill that once things are settled, he'll send for his wife and son. Dan (W. Earl Brown) brings Brom's body back to town. Alma (Molly Parker) demands to have Doc Cochran (Brad Dourif) examine the body for signs of foul play. The doc refuses to speculate as to how Brom's head injuries were incurred, urging her to return to New York. Farnum (William Sanderson), on orders from Al (Ian McShane), who's learned of the claim's real worth, offers to buy it from Alma, further flaming her suspicions. She goes to Bill for advice, and he pays a visit to Al. After giving Al the impression that he can be bought, Bill returns to Alma, and recommends Seth (Timothy Olyphant) as a trustworthy person to investigate her claim. Ellsworth (Jim Beaver), who witnessed the "accident," asks Dan to alert him if he's in any danger. Andy Cramed (Zach Grenier) arrives at the Bella Union, trying to conceal a serious illness from his partners, Cy (Powers Boothe) and Eddie (Ricky Jay), but revealing to Joanie (Kim Dickens) that he's very ill, and that it's probably not a good idea to touch him. Alma, guilt-ridden, explains to Jane (Robin Weigert) that she only married Brom to help her father with his debts. Charlie (Dayton Callie), before he leaves for Cheyenne, tries once more to steer Bill off his path of self-destruction. "Can you let me go to hell the way I want to?" Bill pleads. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

"Welcome to Deadwood...a hell of a place to make your fortune." These are the words that serve as greeting for saddle-weary former lawman Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) as he rides into the illegal Dakota Territory settlement of Deadwood, a scant few weeks after Custer's defeat at the Little Big Horn. Before long, Bullock makes the acquaintance of another displaced Westerner, the cynical, burnt-out gunslinger Wild Bill Hickok (Keith Carradine) -- and not long after that, both men have had their first run-in with town boss Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), the confident, corrupt owner of the Gem Saloon (an establishment largely populated by flint-hearted whores). Thus begins season one of the iconoclastic HBO Western series Deadwood, arguably the most realistic program of its kind ever seen on American television. In the 11 episodes that follow the season opener, a group of vicious outlaws tries to foment another Indian war; Swearengen's status as the lord of the flies on the Deadwood dungheap is challenged by a Chicago "syndicate" (yes, they had them as far back as 1876); a valuable land claim held by feisty, wealthy frontierswoman Alma Garret (Molly Parker) becomes the focus of a deadly serious power struggle; the notorious Black Jack McCall (Garret Dillahunt) kills Hickok during a poker game (quite a jolt, to knock off one of the series' main characters so early in the game!); Deadwood is ravaged by an epidemic, during which the rambunctious but compassionate Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) becomes a legend; Bullock is marked for death after bringing a murderer to heel; Swearengen is double-crossed by duplicitous "working girl" Trixie (Paula Malcomson); the town's criminal element tries to block annexation of the Dakotas, which would bring much-despised law and order to the territory; a minister finds himself less welcome in town than an opium dealer; and at season's end, Seth Bullock becomes Deadwood's official sheriff -- a position that offers neither job security nor much chance for survival. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Deadwood: Reconnoitering the Rim
Al (Ian McShane) is upset when a new brothel, the Bella Union, opens up across the street. He goes over to meet the proprietor, Cy Tolliver (Powers Boothe), along with the woman who runs his whores, Joanie Stubbs (Kim Dickens), and the man who runs his gaming operation, Eddie Sawyer (Ricky Jay). Al expresses his concerns about the overlap, but Cy casually dismisses them, explaining that the more upscale Bella Union offers a "different atmosphere" from the Gem. Al, unsatisfied, tries to find out who betrayed him by arranging the sale. E.B. Farnum (William Sanderson), who owns the hotel, and brokered the sale for profit, is understandably worried about his continued health. Brom (Timothy Omundson) tells Bill (Keith Carradine) and Charlie (Dayton Callie) about how Al duped him. Bill explains that there's little he can do about it, and Charlie notes that there was a large stain on the floor of his hotel room when he checked in, noting of the fella who sold Brom the claim, "He may have checked out short a useful amount of blood." Charlie, planning to leave for Cheyenne, and worried about Bill, tries to arrange a dinner with Seth (Timothy Olyphant) and Sol (John Hawkes), while they continue negotiations to buy their plot from Al so that they can begin building their store. Brom refuses to accept his losses and leave town, despite Alma's (Molly Parker) concerns. He confronts Al directly, demanding his money back. Al, pleading ignorance, but worried that Brom will call in the Pinkertons, offers to refund Brom's money if Dan (W. Earl Brown) and Brom thoroughly "reconnoiter the rim" of his claim, and find no trace of gold. "Make it look like an accident," Al advises Dan before the two set out. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

The Shield: Bottom Bitch
Aceveda (Benito Martinez) uses his political clout to bring in the Decoy Squad, an elite unit from another division. To placate the disgruntled Claudette (CCH Pounder), he puts her in charge of both the Decoy Squad and the Strike Team. Vic (Michael Chiklis) is none too happy about sharing his space with another group, particularly while the Strike Team is trying to figure out what to do about the marked money they stole. The two groups team up in a prostitution sting, which nets a local politician, causing some political friction for Aceveda (Benito Martinez). Farrah (Mageina Tovah), a prostitute, recognizes Vic from his work with his murdered C.I., Connie, and offers to help him bring down her pimp, Smooth (Faruq Tuaheed), who recently kicked her to the curb. Vic wants nothing to do with her, but Claudette orders him to work the case. Dutch (Jay Karnes) is called in on a rape case in which the victim was an elderly woman. He brings in Paul Fets (Brent Sexton), a local registered sex offender, for an interrogation. Shane's (Walton Goggins) problems at home with Mara (Michele Hicks) continue to have an impact on his work. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

John Goodman is cast as the Sultan of Swat, whose excesses -- especially drinking -- and private demons can (in this context) be excused in view of his genuine love of baseball. The facts never get in the way of a good story for screenwriter John Fusco; we're even offered the umpteenth rehash of "Little Johnny", the largely fanciful tale of the invalid boy who promises to get well if Babe hits him a homer (as in Pride of the Yankees, the cured Johnny makes return a appearance as grownup). The most amusing fabrication is the casting of narrow James Cromwell as the Babe's orphanage mentor Brother Mathias, who in real life weighed 300 pounds. Many of the characters are composites, notably Bruce Boxleitner's Jumpin' Joe Dugan. At least Ruth's two wives--Trini Alvarado as Helen, who suffers Babe's many peccadilloes and dies under strange circumstances, and Kelly McGillis as Claire, who keeps Babe on a very short leash-are depicted with a modicum of accuracy. The baseball sequences are well handled (though there could have been less slo-mo) while Elmer Bernstein's charmingly old-fashioned musical score is right in tune with the film's approach to its subject. The Babe is rated PG; had this been the whole truth and nothing but, and R rating would probably have been in order. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jimmy Tingle's 'Dream' to support Martha's Vineyard Film Center
Martha's Vineyard Times File Photo
He's performed at the Old Whaling Church, The Vineyard Playhouse, and Wintertide Coffeehouse. Now, award-winning Boston comedian Jimmy Tingle brings his live show to the new Martha's Vineyard Film Center, along with a documentary, "Jimmy Tingle's American Dream." A fundraiser for the Film Center, the double bill takes place on Friday, Oct. 12.
Running for President on the Humor for Humanity party, Mr. Tingle has been campaigning hard and touring with his film, which was released in 2010. "I've got to work fast," he said in a recent MV Times interview. His take on what makes the American dream is that everything is free except parking. He's performed his stand-up show and campaign in Boston and throughout the Northeast.
Media attention has been very hard to come by, according to Mr. Tingle. He ticked off the number of network TV shows like "Good Morning America" that covered a shark attack in Truro this summer. "I'm going to bring an inner tube, a bucket of blood, and a Please Bite Me T-shirt," he says. He calls his show funny, topical and clean.
Mr. Tingle's film began as a stage show at the Off Broadway Theater, which the comedian ran from 2002 to 2007, in Somerville. After finishing an HBO special on Mr. Tingle, filmmaker Vinnie Stragas proposed following the comedian with a camera to make the documentary. "We didn't have a script or a plan," Mr. Tingle says. "Life just unfolded."
"American Dream" compiles interviews with a variety of people, ranging from celebrities, politicians, actors, and other comedians to the homeless, asking them to describe what they believe is the American Dream. The first interviewee is the late film director Robert Altman, who says it's about fairness. Mr. Tingle's mother calls for a return to traditional values, such as sacrifice and obligation. Others who comment include Mort Sahl, Janeane Garafalo, Al Franken, Robert Reich, and Howard Zinn.
In a ramble through American history and culture, Mr. Tingle visits Plymouth Rock and looks at a memorial to the Pilgrims, now decorated with graffiti. He points out that Abraham Lincoln established Thanksgiving as a holiday during the Civil War. The role of religion in the American Dream has its moments in the survey, as well as freedom of the press and immigration. What gives the film its coherence and focus is Mr. Tingle's incisive wit. He peppers "Jimmy Tingle's American Dream" with intelligent wisecracks.
Mr. Tingle has appeared on several TV shows and in several films. Early in his career, the comedian worked with David Frost as the American commentator for PBS's "The Strategic Humor Initiative." He had a two-year stint as a humorist on "60 Minutes II" and joined Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show." More recently, he has been a satirist on MSNBC and performed on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," and "The Late Late Show." His movie appearances include "Head of State" and "Next Stop Wonderland."
In 2010, Mr. Tingle received a master's degree from the Kennedy School of Management at Harvard and was selected to give the commencement address. He bills himself as a comedian who has gone from national TV back to street performing.
Tickets for an Evening with Jimmy Tingle at MV Film Center, which will benefit the center, are $25 for general admission to the film and live performance, and $35 for general admission and the reception following the show. Advance tickets may be purchased by calling 508-696-6369 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
An Evening with Jimmy Tingle, Friday, Oct. 12, 7:30 pm, M.V. Film Center, Tisbury Marketplace, Vineyard Haven. For information, visit mvfilmsociety.com.

So before the month is up- which it almost is!- I wanted to take a moment to thank my sponsors for May:
Is anyone else obsessed with ModCloth's dresses? I definitely am! I'll admit that I occasionally find myself compulsively checking their new arrivals daily. The three dresses above are some of my favorites as of late.
Next up we have Vintage Shoe Love! How beautiful is that vintage stamped leather purse? Lisa has curated an amazing collection of vintage shoes and purses, her collection just seems to keep growing! What I love most about the shop is her attention to keeping a variety of sizes, as an 8.5, I have such a hard time finding vintage shoes that actually fit.
And last, but certainly not least is Kdikio Vintage! Kristen has such a great collection of vintage accessories in her shop, especially necklaces and bracelets, which I can't seem to get enough of these days. That ring in the middle is so pretty!
Thank you again to all of my May sponsors, and to all of my readers! I loved reading about what you want to see more of on this blog and I'm so excited for the months to come! Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!
