Do the milkshake the milkshake do the shake
Marvel Heroes is a free-to-play MMO on the way from Gazillion, due out a little later this year. While you don't have to pay to play, the developers are offering you plenty of ways that you can, with today's big reveal of three Founders Packs that add chunks of extra stuff to the superhero release. How much can you pay for this "free" game? Up to US$199, should you be so inclined.
The three tiered Founders Packs contain limited-edition digital content - favourite heroes, unique costumes, early game access and a pile of in-game cash that can be used to buy even more stuff in Marvel Heroes.
So. What's on offer?
The man behind all of this is Diablo II visionary David Brevik, now president and chief operating officer of Gazillion.
Our team is hard at work to make sure Marvel Heroes is true to hardcore players, Marvel fans and the most casual of gamers through deep, MMO action-RPG gameplay, an expansive interactive storyline and easy-to-play experience.
We've built Marvel Heroes from the ground up to be a free-to-play game where players can find and collect nearly every hero and costume in the game just by playing. The Founders Program gives players the opportunity to play as their favorite hero from the day we launch in addition to enough in-game currency to buy more heroes and costumes as we release new content.
Log in to Marvel Heroes to play among the Marvel Universe as any one of a number of iconic superheroes, "including Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America and many more." Of course, plenty of notorious supervillains will also be in the world - your task is to prevent Doctor Doom from destroying the world with the power of the Cosmic Cube.
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

Competition is a good thing, I see! Target didn't want to be left behind by Walmart and Toys R Us!
I don't know if this a new commercial, but I saw a Walmart commercial about their great prices on toys, and this was the toy they featured. They stated how it was $15 at Walmart, but at Target it was $40. So of course Target had to come back and make the price much lower :)
I,seen the same, one. :), this will help a lot of families I'm gettting atleast one for the angel tree maybe two
I'm confused, what is so great about them? just curious
That's what I was wondering. After reading reviews to see what I'm missing (LOL), not much. Apparently it's supposed to be like a Furby and respond to you, but that's a crap shoot judging by reviews. And it seems to be one of those things kids ask for but get immediately bored with, which I can definitely understand based on the description. The age range is 6-12 but there's no way I could see my six year old being remotely interested in this. I realize this is a "deal" compared with regular price, but I still think $15 seems high for what it is. It's hard to believe that this is so high on kids' holiday lists that it keeps selling out, though I'm betting that many of the adults purchasing just like the price. ;)
I paid a lot for one last year, and my 7 y/o hardly plays with it. The only good part is when it dances, but that gets boring. I would recommend spending your $15 elsewhere.
I just don't understand why this seems to be such a hot item right now when so many people are saying that. I guess that's also there are $10 peelies!
also *why* there are $10 peelies
Is this price available at the stores too?
Anyone wonder why this toy has made such a price drop?
Because its super annoying !! Lol
yes it is…and my kids got frustrated by the commands…they would ask her to dance and she would always wind up telling the same joke..ugh super annoying
$7 bucks for shipping though to Wisconsin seems kind of pricy.
Tiffany, I don't know where you are in Wisconsin, ( I'm in Waukesha) and my local store had them at $15. No peelies though!
Hooray! Finally got two for my girls. Thanks Hip!
I got those in Walmart. They're NOT worth full price. I would not even pay $15myself. We changed batteries on both toys, and they talk whatever they want. My kids are 5 and 6. They loved these at first, now, 2 days later, they're not playing w them anymore. So save boxes and receipts in case your kids will not like :) And look for $10 coupons in Walmart on smaller FIjit friends, thats where i found coupons.
I agree. This is a nice gift but not they do fail we have taken ours back 3 times. It works for a bit but then is just a cute toy that does what it wants.
Went to price match at Target last night and it rang up $15 in store however they are marked on sale for $44.99 :)
I did the same thing yesterday! I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to price match after all!
Ya, thanks. My girls each have one coming now. Got 2 of them and shipping for less than the cost of one.
I found about 25 of them in our store for 15$, no coupons though. I don't see the appeal!
Finally got one! Thanks :D
Got one! Don't forget Target has a REDcard DEBIT now that get's you the same benefits of the credit card using your checking account information. LOVE!
Was not even thinking about getting one unless I could find a peelie, but now from seeing me stalk all the hip post my two year old is always running around "I wanna Fijit friend!" lol awesome……
I went through Shopathome for another 4% off! :)
tried to get the pink one and it said in stock until I checked out and it said OUT of STock!! Darn….too late
I had the same issue with the pink one. But I did get two purple for each kid. Maybe I'll buy one an accessory pack so they can look different…. Anyone know exactly what ages will like this? It seems kind of young for an 11 year old, but the age I saw online said up through 12? Thoughts?
The reviews I've read suggest much younger–toddlers. Many say their six years got bored with them. Good luck!
Sorry–six year olds!
I would agree my daughteris 3 and she loves it.
I got 2 purples…pinks already gone :-(
It's the Proposition 65 warning that deterred me. Contains products known to cause cancer? No thanks. Not at any price.
Where did you see that? I don't know much about it, but just wondering – could it mean the batteries?
No, not the batteries. Otherwise most toys would carry the warning. From Target's web site:
Attention California residents: California's Proposition 65 entitles California consumers to special warnings for products that contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if those products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain threshold levels. We know you're concerned about product safety and Target takes all necessary steps to comply with all applicable safety and health requirements.
On Target.com, we provide a Prop 65 link under Other Info for each item that requires the Prop 65 warning. If a Prop 65 link does not appear in the Other Info section for the product you wish to purchase, the supplier of the product has indicated that it does not require the Prop 65 warning.
Just an FYI, as someone who lives in California: Pretty much everything here carries a Prop 65 warning from products to physical buildings to gas stations. It is required by law that they state if it MIGHT contain something and therefore tells you nothing since the warning is on everything.
I was wondering if someone else saw this too! After I read that it's just not worth it …..
Could the BPA levels be high? BPA is known to cause the same issues. All states should have this warning. Better yet why dont they sell toys that wont harm our kids! That is probaly why the price drop!
If you have ever looked at your box of Christmas lights…they carry the same warning.
Got one for my niece…use shop at home and got 4% cash back plus free shipping with red card debit and 5% discount. Woo hoo!!!
If you go here: http://www.target.com/p/fijit-interactive-friends/-/A-13460559 and click on "Choose items to add to cart" You will see a little yellow warning sign and a Prop 65 note. Click on Prop 65 and it tells you what it means. I wasn't aware either, until I saw that.
I said this above but just in case you didn't see -/ I live in CA and pretty much everything has a Prop 65 warning from products to physical buildings to gas stations.
They are required to post that if it MiGHT contain something and therefore it tells you nothing since pretty much everything has a warning.
Freaked us out when we first moved here until we realised the warnings are on everything.
Yeah, I'm in PA, but I've seen it on exercise balls, bleach pens, Christmas lights, ointment and either plywood or drywall (probably both!) So, basically everything.
Both are gone from online. Placed Willa in my cart and went to check out and out of stock.
I went to Walmart yesterday and bought fijit for $5.00. They were selling them for $15 dollars and it had a $10.00 off manufacturer's coupon attached to the box, which bought the total down to $5! I was super excited!
toys r us will match the price from their site which states $15 in store only. its un advertised in store but it does work on the pink/purple one.
I had no interest in getting one, but then I actually saw one in the store last night (at KMart for the regular price of $50 some dollars) and I thought it was pretty cute! Not sure how much play time it will end up getting, but I think both my kids will enjoy it. Thanks!
Thanks Colin! I bought one of these for my daughter for Christmas and spent over $50 on it at Target. I took my receipt over to Target this morning and they refunded the difference! Thanks to you I have $40 back in my pocket!
The target store lists them for $44, but they ring up at $15. I double checked with the in store price scanner before checking out. Thanks Collin!
They are marked as $44 in my MD store but ring up as $15 when you do a price lookup. :)
Just bought one at the Lindon,UT. Walmart. They are marked down to $15.

In the Balance of Power — 2008
Independent Black Politics and Third-Party Movements in the United States
By Omar H. Ali
Foreword by Eric Foner
"This timely book tracks African American political activity from the Revolutionary period into the 21st century. Essentially, Ali argues that African Americans achieved greater political influence outside of the two-party system, participating in third-party politics or through independent black political movements…. A well-documented and well-presented argument…original and thought provoking. Highly recommended."
"Ali presents an important survey of the most popular independent and third party movements among African Americans since the founding of the country [and] captures the most important nuances of the ways that African Americans have fought for their own political and economic interests."
Journal of African American Studies
"For far too long, conventional wisdom regarding black political participation has suggested that they comprise a monolithic, liberal voting bloc that moves in lockstep with the Democratic Party. Ali, however, shows that there are competing ideological traditions in black thought and that black voters will use other means to advance their interests when they are shut out by the two major parties."
Journal of American Ethnic History
Historically, most black voters in the United States have aligned themselves with one of the two major parties: the Republican Party from the time of the Civil War to the New Deal and, since the New Deal—and especially since the height of the modern civil rights movement—the Democratic Party. However, as In the Balance of Power convincingly demonstrates, African Americans have long been part of independent political movements and have used third parties to advance some of the most important changes in the United States, notably the abolition of slavery, the extension of voting rights, and the enforcement of civil rights.
Since the early nineteenth century, there has been an undercurrent of political independence among African Americans. They helped develop the Liberty Party in the 1840s and have continued to work with third parties to challenge the policies of the two major parties. But despite the legal gains of the modern civil rights movement, elements of Jim Crow remain deeply embedded in our electoral process.
In the Balance of Power presents a history and analysis of African American third-party movements that can help us better understand the growing diversity among black voters today.
Omar H. Ali is an associate professor of African American and Diaspora History at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. A graduate of the London School of Economics, he received his Ph.D. in history from Columbia University.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17109
The Board of School Directors recognizes that regular school attendance is essential to the academic progress of all students. Therefore, the board will expect school administrators to enforce the Pennsylvania compulsory attendance law to ensure the right of every student to a continuous educational program.
Absence from school
Absence from school is defined as the non-attendance of a pupil on those days and half days that school is in session. Tardiness is defined as the absence of a pupil at the time any morning or afternoon session begins. When a child is illegally absent for a portion of a day, such portions may be considered as cumulative and translated into equivalent days.
Compulsory school attendance law requires a child of compulsory age to be in attendance at school, unless absent for an approved reason, and charges the parent of the child with the responsibility for such attendance. Compulsory school age refers to the period of a child's life for the time when a child enters school as a beginner, which shall be no later than age eight years, until the age of seventeen or until graduation from a regularly accredited senior high school, whichever comes first.
In general, absences for the following reasons would be excused:
1. Religious holidays and religious instruction*
2. Illness or recovery from an accident
3. Quarantine of the home
4. Death in the family
5. Court appearance
6. Family emergency (unavoidable)
At the discretion of the principal, students may be excused for reasons that are listed below:
1. Educational trips and tours 4. Health care*
2. Impassable roads 5. Tutorial work*
3. Inclement weather 6. College visitations*
7. Visit to homeland*
Absence for other urgent reasons shall be ruled excused only when it is unavoidable and the reason affects the child and when it is not for the convenience of the parent. Notification of the building principal is required in all situations referenced above.
- See Administrative Procedures. These absences require prior written request and the principal's approval.
Revised by the School Board – July 28, 1997
Amended by the School Board – July 26, 2004
After any absences, students have three school days to submit to the principal/designee a valid written excuse from the parent or legal guardian. If the excuse is not received within three school days, the absence will be considered unexcused. The mere fact that a parent has sent a written excuse does not necessarily mean the absence is "excused." Students experiencing excessive absences shall be monitored from year to year.
Corrective Measures for Excessive Absences
When a student has been absent a total of ten (10) days without a doctor's excuse during any school year, a referral to the principal will be made. The parents shall receive written notification of the excessive absences. The purpose of the letter is to explain that the principal has the prerogative of requiring a medical excuse for each absence beyond the level of fifteen (15) days if absences beyond fifteen days are to be declared legal.
Students who were previously required to submit medical excuses or who were prosecuted through the office of the district magistrate due to chronic absenteeism are required to submit a doctor's excuse for each absence after five (5) absences.
Unexcused and Unlawful Absences
1. First Offense (three days of unexcused absence)
a. The "School District's Official Notice of Absence to Parents" will be sent by registered mail to notify parents.
b. A parental conference will be required.
2. Subsequent Offense(s)
a. A criminal complaint will be submitted to the district justice for each day beyond the three days listed above. The outcome may result in a fine, parenting education program or jail sentence for the parent, or a fine, adjudicated alternative program, community service and a suspension of operating privileges or ineligibility for learner's permit for the pupil.
b. A parental conference will be required.
c. Any high school student accumulating ten unexcused absences in a marking period will be denied credit for all courses for which he/she is registered unless the student can satisfactorily make up the time missed through attendance at the Academic Assistance Program. (This option is only available if recommended by the principal and accompanied by a written contract outlining the makeup requirements.)
d. Students absent for ten consecutive days without a valid excuse may be dropped from the school rolls if the student is a runaway or if the student's return to school is doubtful. If the student is of compulsory attendance age, the principal will continue to pursue the matter through legal measures with the ultimate goal being the student's return to school.
3. Unexcused Absences After the Seventeenth Birthday
An effort should be made to continue with the same penalties, excluding legal action, as for students within the compulsory attendance age. If this is not effective, school-parent and school-student conferences may be used to determine if continuing education is practical for that student. (Are all parties willing to cooperate? Are there changes, which could be made to enhance the student's willingness to attend?) If this is unsuccessful, it is suggested that the student's academic achievement levels be assessed so that the possibility of a General Equivalency Diploma can be determined.
Record Keeping and Reporting
The responsibility for maintaining accurate attendance rolls and accounting for absences belongs to the building principals. Their responsibilities are:
- To keep an accurate record of all students in attendance at the beginning of the school year, new entrants, withdrawals and re-entries.
- To perform daily reporting and recording of absences.
- To maintain cumulative records of each student's absences/tardiness.
- To inform parents of student's unexcused absences.
- To monitor attendance patterns and implement follow-up procedures for students with poor attendance records. Follow-up includes, but is not limited to, calling parents, counseling sessions, detention and prosecutions.
The task of summarizing attendance data for all district buildings, Dauphin County Technical School, CAIU, private schools and institutions and other intermediate units, etc., is the responsibility of district office personnel under the supervision of the Director of Pupil Services.
Administrative Procedures
Educational Trips or Tours
Educational trips will be considered for approval if the principal determines that the trip will be educationally significant to the student. Since trips are not automatically approved, parents are cautioned to consult with the principal to determine if the planned trip warrants approval. In order for the principal to make such a determination, the parent/guardian must submit the request for an educational trip at least seven (7) days prior to the trip. Parents are required to provide the following information:
1. School days to be missed
2. Destination of the trip
3. Educational motive of the trip
4. Supervisor of student while on trip
When more than one child in the family will be participating in an educational trip, the request must be submitted to all appropriate building principals for approval. The trip will not be approved if the principal determines that:
1. The trip is not adequately educational to warrant an absence from school; or
2. The student's prior attendance record is not adequate to approve additional days out of school; or
3. The trip would be detrimental to the student's progress or success in school; or
4. The trip takes place during the final two weeks of the school term, unless an emergency exists; or
5. Requests exceed a total of five school days in one school year.
It is the student's responsibility to get assignments from his/her teachers. The teachers will need at least one week's notice before departure. All work must be turned in within five days of the student's return to school. Work must be made up on the initiative of the student and at the reasonable convenience of the teacher in consultation with the building principal.
Students who have not been granted an excused absence will be considered unexcused. They will not be permitted to make up written work or to take any tests or examinations missed during such absence.
Health Care
Upon written parental request, a pupil may be excused during school hours for the purpose of obtaining professional health care or therapy if the following requirements are met:
a. Health or therapeutic services are to be rendered by board certified licensed medical practitioners.
b. It is not practical or possible for the pupil to receive the services outside of school hours.
c. The time of necessary absence from school involves a minimum of interference with the pupil's regular program of studies.
A re-admittance form signed by the doctor will be needed upon return to school.
Tutorial Work
Upon written parental request, a pupil may be excused during school hours for the purpose of receiving tutorial instruction in a field not offered in the district's curricula only under the following circumstances:
a. The excused absence does not interfere with the student's regular program of studies.
b. The qualifications of the instructor are approved by the superintendent.
c. Any instruction or transportation costs associated with receiving tutorial instruction shall be the responsibility of the parent/guardian involved.
Religious Holidays
A. Upon written parental request, and approval of the principal/designee, a pupil will be excused from school for religious holidays observed by a bonafide religious group.
B. A pupil's absence from school for bonafide religious holidays will be recorded as an excused absence. There shall be no penalty attached to such an excuse.
C. The student is responsible for making up tests and assignments within the time frame established in the building homework policy.
Visit to Homeland
A visit to a family's homeland may be approved by the building principal, however, the
district is required to withdraw a student from school when the student has been absent
for more than ten (10) days. The student will be immediately withdrawn if the district
is informed that the visit will exceed more than ten (10) days. A student must be enrolled
in school in the homeland if the visit lasts more than ten (10) days. Upon the student's
return, the parent/guardian must re-enroll the student in the school district.

I found this spray at Walmart and tried it. It instantly killed all the nits and lice and they have been lice free every since. I am buying this as a precaution and easy remedy just in case lice goes through the school again. It is so easy.

45 years ago to-day, Jim's Mom drove us up the California Coast from Los Angeles to be in this Las
I'd never seen the California Coastline before but, I've photographed it several times since. I don't recall ever seeing San Francisco before but, that was the week to "be there" and I'd love to know who the girl was that caught me staring at her as she paused atop the last step at Ghiradelli Square as I shot a picture of a couple who handed me their camera and asked me to get them and the Golden Gate Bridge in the picture. No one had ever asked me to take a picture or compose it getting all the landmark sights they wanted in the same shot. The rest is 45 years of photo composition history. Yeah, 45 years ago to-day the whole world went somewhere intentional to gather around a television, to be with those they wanted to remember the moment with. A feel for those that weren't born or old enough to remember doing that.

Rule 1 - The movie business is driven by opinion, not fact; and the geek business doubly so. I'm going to say some things you disagree with - and at some point I'll probably insult something you like. I'm an opinionated guy, and I tend to think I'm right about everything. But let's be fair, you know you do the same. If it makes you feel better, feel free to hate/make fun of things that I like if you ever feel slighted. I'll even provide a list of possible topics.
Rule 2 - A good relationship is built on open conversation. See that comment option down there? Use it. Use it like Popeye uses spinach. I want to know what you are interested in, and I want to know when you disagree with me. Sure I'm a writer - but I'm only one geek among millions - and you've all got opinions as legitimate as my own.
Rule 3 - I'm allowed to make new rules at any time, and break them at will. It IS my column, after all.
Okay, now that we know the ground rules, I need to get something off my chest. If we're going to do this whole honesty thing, I think it is important for me to get this out up front; it'd be wrong of me to start our relationship with secrets and lies. So...here it is: I liked V for Vendetta. I know this isn't a big deal for most geeks - but if you've read anything I've written lately, you know that I've been skeptical at best about the film's prospects. I'm not a big Wachowski fan; and despite Alan Moore's penchant for being pretentious, I generally side with the guy when he says his work has been poorly translated to film. And if I'm being perfectly honest, I never really thought Vendetta was his best work. It's fun, but it never really blew me away.
So I come to you hat in hand to admit that I enjoyed the flick. You were right. How do you like that? I start my first column by telling you that I messed up when writing about a geek movie - which is supposed to be my area of expertise. But I have a defense! Read on...
My defense begins with the fact that I also saw Ultraviolet this weekend, and on some level I enjoyed it as well. I realize that it was a terrible movie - but I liked it. And it was amusing to see gun-kata in action again. I also enjoyed Fantastic Four, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Brothers Grimm. The list goes on, but I'm afraid I'll humiliate myself if I go any further.
Here's the crux of the matter: I am both a cynical and demanding critic and an eager fanboy combined within the same journalist. Because of this, I process films on two different levels, which somehow manage to function entirely separate from one another. Let's take the Fantastic Four as a case study, because the World's Greatest Comic Magazine has been my biggest comic book love since I was a very small child. Ergo, you'd presume that if anyone was going to be offended by the inaccuracies of the film, it'd be me. And you know what? I was. I was angry that my Four didn't get a better shake for their silver screen debut. And yet if you examine my DVD collection, you'll find Fantastic Four sitting right there. Why? I'll tell you why - because holy cow, the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing was stomping around Yancy Street. And the Human Torch was flying. He was on fire, and he was flying. Tell me that isn't cool.
Ultraviolet? I'm not sure that the plot of the movie (if such a thing existed) even made sense. But she was riding her freaking motorcycle up the side of a building! And she was using gun-kata. How can you not love that? I can provide you a point-by-point list of the what made that movie stupid - and I'll mean it - but I still loved watching it. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? It raped the plot of a graphic novel series that I absolutely adore. But the Nautilus was freaking beautiful, and Sean Connery was Alan Quartermain.
How do I justify these two separate reactions? I don't, really. I just call 'em like I see 'em. Maybe it helps as a writer, because it allows me to react to movies from two different perspectives. Maybe it just makes me wishy-washy. Ultimately, though, let's keep in mind rule number one: the final determination of a movie's value to you boils down to your own opinions. Watch the sucker and react. Sure, maybe it'll result in your DVD shelf having the Fantastic Four on it when your elitist geek buddies tell you you're selling out your loyalty - but who cares? Movies are made for you to enjoy, not for you to use to impress your friends.
So there you have a brief understanding of where I'm coming from as a geek beat journalist. Keep that in mind when you read what I have to say, and maybe it'll help you boil down my thoughts into a usable form. Stay tuned every Tuesday for The Geek Beat - starting next week I'll bring you a round-up of the current geek news, complete with plenty of personal opinion. Until then, keep your eyes open for any geek news to share with the class; we always love to hear from you.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The Helper council voted on Aug. 2 to require residents who occupy homes or buildings to have all city utility services connected to the structures.
"We have residents who are picking and choosing the services they want connected and it is causing some problems," pointed out Helper Mayor Mike Dalpiaz. "One resident decided he would have power and garbage pickup at his place, but he didn't want water or sewer hooked up. I just don't think it's a good situation allowing people to do this."
The mayor said he checked with the health department and the action doesn't violate the codes.
But Dalpiaz thought that the situation could result in unsanitary conditions inside or outside of the buildings in town.
Most of the councilmembers agreed that people should hook up all city utilities when they occupy a building.
However, some elected officials serving on the council were concerned that requiring everyone to have all utilities in place at all times might be a little strong.
"There are areas and times when it is smart for people not to have all their utilities turned on," commented Councilmember Johnny Jones. "For instance, look at rental units. An owner may not have anyone occupying them for an extended period of time and having all the utilities on might just create more cost for the owners. I think that we need to think about how this might affect non-occupied buildings."
Another issue that arose during the meeting was the fact that some people in town might own two or three buildings, but are using only one. Some of the people are business owners who have two or three buildings downtown, but only have one business operating in a single building.
The question came up about whether the business owners would have to have a garbage can for each address, despite the fact they only need one.
Defining what occupancy is was also an issue that was raised at the meeting.
"How do we define occupancy?" asked Helper Police chief George Zamantakis, whose department would have to enforce any regulations on utilitiy services. "Is it one day out of thirty or a week in a month? We need to know that before we can enforce these kinds of laws."
City attorney Gene Strate said that he would have to do some work on that issue, seeing what has tradtionally been defined as occupancy of a residence or building.
In the end the council decided that they would require all occupied buildings to have full city utility services including electricity, water, sewer and garbage collection. The city does not provide telephone or cable service to residents and businesses, so those are not included in the ordinance that was approved. The council also left the door open for people who have unique situations to come to the council and get a variance from the ordinance as well.
"We don't want anyone to feel trapped by this ordinance that may have a legitimate reason for not having all or some utilities supplied to them," said Dalpiaz. "They can come to the council and we will grant exceptions as needed based on the situation."

Hotel magnate Jim Graves to announce run for Congress against Bachmann
Jim Graves, CEO of the Graves Hospitality hotel company, will announce today in St. Cloud that he's running for Congress in the 6th District against Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Graves lives in the Twin Cities but grew up in St. Cloud. He's the third DFLer to announce a run against Bachmann. Even though her home in Stillwater was redistricted into the 4th District, Bachmann plans to run again in the 6th.
The Graves 601 Hotel in downtown Minneapolis is the flagship of Graves' company.
Graves will officially launch his campaign during a press conference at noon today at another of his company's hotels: Le St-Germain Suite Hotel in St. Cloud.
On his campaign web site, Graves says:
"Minnesota's sixth district deserves a smart, compassionate, business-savvy congressperson who will fight full-time to create livable-wage jobs and strengthen the economy, ensuring a strong middle class and improving the lives of everyone."
Also seeking the DFL endorsement in the race are May Township businessman Brian McGoldrick and St. Cloud attorney Anne Nolan.

Abby's trip to NCIS Los Angeles is set
Goth Abby in the City of Angels? We knew it was coming. But how oxymoronic. All that sunshine is counter to the dark vibe, although if you ask me, Abby is a walking oxymoron. She's a scientist in love with forensics who is covered in tattoos, has a dog collar as a necklace and likes pigtails.
Anyway, back to the crossover. Michael Ausiello's sources have leaked to him at EW.com that Abby's visit to the Left Coast is a major plot point. Abby is not there by choice; she's been abducted.
Anyone could write a better headline than EW, so prove it
My problem isn't with the picture, although it seems it probably should be. It's the headline. Is "Oh, Dave" the best they could do? Hell, "Where the Wild Things Are" would be ten times better and save a fifth of the print space. Write a better headline in the comments section below and we'll feature the best ones in a future post.
HIMYM cast embodies the best of 2008 for EW
So when Entertainment Weekly asked the cast to pose as various celebrities in a "The Best of 2008" pictorial, I'm sure they didn't need much time to say yes. In the pictorial, the cast portray the Olympic 4x200m relay team, the Jonas Brothers, and the cast of the Indiana Jones and Sex and the City movies. Finally, Segel and Alyson Hannigan pose as Joe Biden and Sarah Palin, respectively, during the VP debate. It might have been more interesting if they reversed roles in that photo, but I guess Segel didn't have the legs for it.

Harold Perrineau clarifies his comments
You knew that Harold Perrineau's comments were going to cause a bit of controversy. You also knew that he would have to clarify some of the comments a few days later. Here is that clarification.
The Lost star admits to Entertainment Weekly that "I should probably think more before I say things," referring to comments he made that he was irritated with how producers deal with black characters on the hit ABC show and the fact that Michael couldn't be redeemed and have a happy ending with son Walt. He explains that he was just making an observation as a black man and that he wasn't angry at how the story played out, he was just disappointed. He loved working with the cast and crew and wouldn't be surprised if he came back to the show in the future. He also lists his three favorite and least favorite moments on the show.
My prediction? We haven't seen the last of Michael. He'll be back on the show some way, somehow.
Michael Ausiello leaves TV Guide for Entertainment Weekly
So the following news might not be much of a surprise: Michael Ausiello, TVG's scoop and spoiler maven, is taking his perky writing style and massive Rolodex to Entertainment Weekly, where he'll write for the TV sections of both the magazine and website starting July 2.
Oh, and how did we find this out? Mike sent us (and probably hundreds of others) the press release announcing his arrival. Never said the guy wasn't good at self-promotion.

Stephen Colbert: An Entertainer of the Year
Every year, Entertainment Weekly picks their "Entertainers of the Year," and this year's list includes inevitable choices like Sacha Baron Cohen and YouTube, plus odd choices like Project Runway. Also on the list is Stephen Colbert, and also "Stephen Colbert," the character he plays on The Colbert Report. EW has an interview with the star and his alter-ego.
Colbert talks about everything from his infamous speech at the White House Corresondent's Dinner to getting Warren Beatty and Annette Bening to act confused on his show. He also introduces us to his new word for 2007. It's "Colbertainment," as in Colbertainment Weekly.
I have to admit that when The Colbert Report first started, I thought his "character" would get old really quick, something that was good for here and there or for a limited time but nothing a comedian could sustain and grow over a period of time. But I was wrong. I was wrong about NBC's remake of The Office too, so these things happen.
What to get Jim Halpert for Christmas
This is the kind of advertising that I hate. It disguises itself as some sort of pop culture piece, one that's tied into the holiday season, but it's really just a way to mention a lot of products, list the company web site, and get some advertising in. It's Entertainment Weekly's Holiday Gift Guide, where they pick a celebrity or TV/movie character and list items you could get for that person. You know it's bogus because the gifts picked are either ridiculously obvious or don't really make any sense at all.

The Biggest Watercooler Moments of All-Time
Since TV is in everyone's home, it's one of the pop culture things we can all talk about. Entertainment Weekly lists their 10 Big Watercooler Moments, those moments on TV shows that we were all talking about the next day at work (or school).
While some of their choices are obvious and deserving to be on the list (Lucy going into labor on I Love Lucy, Ellen DeGeneres coming out on Ellen, Maddie and David finally doing it on Moonlighting, the "Who Shot J.R." ep of Dallas), are they really serious when they list the episode that Michael J. Fox left Spin City? Really? Hey, I like Fox, but was his character (or even the show) that important and talked about? I think that Fox announcing he was ill was certainly something we all talked about, but I don't think that it should be on this list. Especially considering what EW left off the list: the finales of M*A*S*H*, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Friends; several Seinfeld moments (that was the topic of discussion every morning after where I worked), and the final episode of Newhart with Suzanne Pleshette.
I mean, Felicity cutting her hair? Gah.

- Over at PopWatch, George Lucas says he's done with big screen movies and will be focusing on TV now. As a moviegoer, I applaud this. As a TV lover, it makes me cringe.
- Great episode of Heroes last night, eh? TV Addict has an interview with stars Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia.
- I don't believe this story at all. It just seems like some bs someone made up because Mario Lopez is doing so well on Dancing with the Stars.
Kevin Federline thinks Steve Carell is pimp, yo
Ah, the wit and wisdom of K-Fed.
In a free-wheeling interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mr. Spears sounds off on a variety of topics: on being the most talked about person the past few years (?), what song he'd sing for his American Idol audition, his collection of Nike shoes, why he's a lot like Sammy Davis, Jr., what food he sneaks into movie theaters, why the Batmobile is badass, and getting his "GED and stuff." He also talks about his recent guest role on CSI.
Everytime I see this guy I think of his horrible performance at that teen awards show. How is his album doing, anyway?
