Patrick Ewing auto question
I just won an auction on Ebay for a Hoops Patrick Ewing auto. Does anybody know if this card is legit? The seller says it has a skybox authenticity stamp which I can see in the pic. I'm just wondering if it Hoops produce this card back in the 90's. Any info will help. Thanks!

This is just one of the many autos this seller sold that were "stamped"....so I would think the Ewing is fake as well...maybe he just has one of those stampers handy.
Check out my Ebay store daily for new additions...PM me with some of your wants/needs.... So, good to hear I rate military disability....too bad it's 0%.... |

He has sold about 4 of those for alot less. Also anyone selling a Kobe photo for $20-$40 should throw up a red flag. Another red flag is he has negative feedback about fake autos.

I own one of these. There are many fakes, especially from the Philippines. Its about the "correct" version of the stamp. Good luck and i hope u get your money back. Always check the seller n what they sell and have sold in the past.
*To prevent potential problems-I have decided to be somewhat more selective with whom I choose to sell and/or trade with. Regardless If someone should post in any of my B/S/T threads or PM me about buying or trading for any of my cards. Please respect and keep this in mind. |

Visit to Terrain- part 3
I knew I would like visiting Terrain, but it surpassed any expectations. I need to go back and visit throughout the seasons to see how they incorporate plants and landscaping materials to make the garden a feature in every season. I have always been intimidated when I try and consider a fall garden. There are holes where once lush summer foliage was and sporadic color from plants in the last days of their glory.
The reason I want to get remarried (to the same guy) here. Seriously. Where is my fairytale? Did you notice the pumpkins on the roof? No detail left unnoticed.
When I speak about hardscape I don't mean shiny glass globes or plastic pink flamingos. I've always had a thing for rusty metal sculptural objects and this orb fit the bill. They had several on display in all different sizes all made by a local-ish (east coast somewhere?) craftsman. This would make a statement all year long.
More butt pattern chairs but look what its holding! It's a hollowed out logs with moss and woodsy succulents. The stepping 'stones' are thin sliced tree trunks.
3 comments:
What a terrific place, both to visit and to get ideas! I'm with you; no butt marks ... LOL. I wish they had a store by me!
DO NOT put down sliced tree trunks - I know from falling 3-4 times my first winter here in Oregon! They get sooo icy and are very dangerous.
I like the hollowed out log with plantings in it. I have a very short log that I grow catnip in. I also have a welded bird (pterodactyl!) and this year I got some welded flowers. Love them.
Have a wonderful 2010.

In a bit of casting news, the Heat Vision blog of The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Noomi Rapace has been signed to star as the female lead in the sequel to Sherlock Holmes.
Rapace is probably best known to American audiences as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (and its Swedish-language sequels). Sherlock Holmes II will be her first English-language film.
Sherlock Holmes II, which has yet to begin production, will also star returning leads Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson.

Too bad wide hips are not currently in style. When people were thin and shapeless because of a skimpy diet, the fashion was to look plump like the wealthier members of society. Nowadays, one can gain weight, it seems,just from breathing the air, but fashion dictates narrow hips and 'six pack abs'.

April 14th, 2011
Man I'm getting old. It seems just like yesterday that I was having my eighth birthday party. I remember I got a Sega Gamegear for that birthday, and as a result wanted to play with it rather than my classmates invited by my mother. I'm not sure why my parents thought that my classmates were the ones I wanted over. Perhaps the reason exists in that strange area of parent logic where the child can complain about something and the parents say, "Nonsense, it'll be good for you." "But I hate them!" "It'll be good for you!"
Anyway, since 2006 I've been doing these birthday daylogs as a time capsule to preserve whatever was on my mind at the time. They've ranged from quick blurbs to extensive diatribes. Since this is also my one hundredth node I thought for this one I would do a…
100 Node Retrospective!
Below in chronological order are thoughts on each one of the nodes I've written, along with anything I can recall about their genesis. For factual nodes these may be short for fictional they may be a bit longer.
This is my first node, or rather the first one that didn't get deleted. It's also the first node that I wrote while not being in a drunken stupor. At the time I was working at JC Penny's Optical department, a job I would recommend to anyone who wants to lose a lot of faith in humanity very quickly. I do remember that checking the lenses on the Lensometer was very entertaining, about the only thing in that job that was, and had I gotten paid whatever pittance minimum wage was back then for just that I'd have been very happy. Alas, the job mostly consisted of dealing with hostile customers buying most of our products on credit.
lunar magic
Luner magic is a computer program I have great familiarity with. Back before I knew about E2, I was a prominent member of the Super Mario World hacking community. I eventually left because I found that I was maturing and that particular community was not (going on to their forums now I see they still haven't improved and now that I don't know anybody in the community anymore I doubt I'll ever return).
I've always been dissatisfied with this node. It could have been longer, better, etc. Factual nodes always do better on E2 than fictional or poetry or anything else really and I really wanted to follow the success of Lensometer with something factual and this was the only subject I could come up with at the time. I may go back and expand it. The program in question has been updated multiple times since 2005 and a comprehensive features list could be fun to write. I'd probably have this node nuked before I wrote the new version if only so that people would actually see the new version.
Writing a Novel is Hard
This is still my most popular writeup, probably because this is a site for writers and if writers love to do anything it is to talk about writing. It has 12 C!s which is more than any other writeup I've ever done and a reputation of about eighty. The novel I talk about in the writeup has been canceled. I've since moved on to more stable projects including two novels which are substantial better if not infinitely so.
July 20, 2005
An example of why I didn't particularly like working at JC Penny. Not much to say here except that the woman was an exception. I only remember two examples of where people grossly in the wrong have apologized to the person they wronged and this was one of them.
One of Our Fifty is Missing
A really short node about a problem that has diminished in recent years probably because of New Mexico's last governor, a man who wanted to pimp us to the rest of you all. During his tenure he took out ads on TV and billboards across the country, including a very large one of himself in New York City. He also ran for president and I think you can guess how that turned out.
Real ID
Real ID has been implemented. I'll be getting my first Real ID scary "We Scan Your Face" bullshit next month because my higher quality state driver's license will expire then. If congress were really concerned about the Republic they'd have whoever came up with this idea hung as a traitor, but since it was they themselves who came up with it I doubt we'll ever see that happen.
A story written in the 9th grade and man can you tell. As a story it isn't that bad, but it isn't very original and there's something unquestionably juvenile about it. My response below about the teacher also strikes me as juvenile. I've long since passed the ARRRG! TEACHERS ARE STUPID phase of my life and now if a teacher or boss acts stupid I simply deal with it.
Raid and the Roach
I really like this node. Not only is it informative, but humorous too. Judging from the votes most people like it too. Every once in awhile I go back and update the XP and level that I mention in the writeup to keep it semi-current.
George Lincoln Rockwell
Filling a nodeshell. And let me say again that Mr. Rockwell was an absurd man with questionable politics who we'd all have been better without.
September 28, 2005
I still have this complaint actually. I'm old enough to remember when movies didn't have some sort of pre-show playing or commercials before movies. I don't mind trailers, but commercials piss me off. Maybe one day I'll write a book called "Commercialism Isn't Great: How Advertising Poisons Everything".
Pave America
Ah. The first of my Emperor Stevens nodes. (Emperor Stevens is a mocking exaggeration on the sort of ridiculous political ideas I held in middle school and early high school.) The first Emperor Stevens node is The Leviathan Penile Counting Machine by futilelord. We created the character late one night in his mother's garage over a board game as I recall. Noders seem to like these stories, so I keep doing them. The type of humor in them is a special type of humor I hold close to my heart: the humor of the absurd. Of course, Paving America wouldn't work, of course Canada would try to stop us, of course if you actually paved America you'd heat up the Earth. Anyway, I've seen some catbox conjecture that the story is some sort of critique on American consumerism, and it may well be, but if it is I didn't design it that way on purpose.
Weekly Alibi
A short factual. It is what it is, and highly voted too.
October 25, 2005
Hey! A Daily Evil. Remember when those were common? Remember when jessicapierce came down hard on that fellow for posting something that was actually evil? Remember how they petered out? I don't miss them, but they were very popular for awhile.
This is a good anime. Check it out.
Russian Nuclear Deployment Unit
This was for paraclete's RumourQuest 2006. I think it's funny enough and it got its fair share of C!s but like many things I wrote before, say, 2008 I find it lacking.
Things to consider when buying glasses
This is probably my most useful node. If you are about to purchase glasses read it. It will help you out.
It should be obvious that this comes from my experience with JC Penny Optical. I find it interesting to see just how much of this information I've forgotten since I quit five years ago. My twenty year-old ass could school my twenty-six year-old self. At least in eyeglass knowledge. Though I'd probably give my current self 20-1 odds in a bar fight against my squirrelly 145 pound past self.
April 15, 2006
The first of the birthday nodes. Man, it's depressing.
The Dig
I love this videogame. It got me when I was young, you see, and has never let me go. I recently read a review of this game by a modern reviewer who said he thought the graphics were terrible. Of course they are when compared to Modern Warfare 7000, dickwad. And by God, I know that when I play Super Mario 3 all I am like is "Well, this is pretty good, but fucking hell. Mario Galaxy 2 has much better graphics. Gonna have to shave at least half a star off of its score." Shit.
Albuquerque Wine Festival
I still like my ascii art wine glass.
A-Kon 17
I still maintain my opinion on cosplayers despite having become in the interval from this node to now the god-emperor of the UNM Anime Club. Incidentally, the club is having a cosplay contest this Saturday. I'm going to be missing it because I will be drunk on birthday shenanigans.
Problems with Porn
Despite the four C!s I've never really liked this node. It's honest about the way I feel about porn, but it is nowhere near comprehensive enough to show that while I have no moral problem with porn I do have an objection to how strange it is. Do men really like women to masturbate them with their breasts? What the hell is with come shots? I suppose the real problem is that the industry reveals that men are deeply threatened by women's sexually and must overcome that fear by putting women down in sexualize media. I have no moral problem with this, but let's be honest about what we're doing, okay?
Kira, Kira Nightingale
A story about a girl lost somewhere in time and space. I like the story, but I'll probably never finish it. This was my first attempt at a longer fictional narrative on E2 and I must say that the result is… meh. The story is fine, but fiction never does that well on E2 and sometimes I wonder if posting it is even worth it. Poetry does worse, of course. Awhile back, I helped ushdiwhatever do a statistical analysis on how well each category did vote-wise on the database. Recipes did the best as I recall.
Kira, Kira Nightingale 2
That recipes do so well isn't that surprising. Neither is that fiction does poorly. Food is a commitment nearly everyone is willing to upvote while fiction doesn't always deliver the goods. So to ask a person to spend thirty or more minutes on a piece that, ultimately was never finished, is a bit much. I'll put the Kira nodes down for a-nuking when I can replace them with something better.
November 1, 2006
Introspective whine. But I do remember that two-headed bird. Weird.
The Immortal FAQ
This could be a lot better. It's meant to be like the Water Bear FAQ but it fails.
Now this is humor done right. I have since used excerpts from this article to fill in a fictitious blog on toilet humor for a creative writing class. It went well over there too. I'll note that a line from this story is included in Jet-Poop's Favorite Everything quotes.
February 17, 2007
I think this is supposed to be funny. It's not.
Kira, Kira Nightingale 3
Now somebody, The Custodian, I think, wrote a really excellent node about how Everything is not a good venue for fiction. I thought I had chinged it, but I apparently have not and so can't find it.
But the point is well taken. When I post a factual I get around 35 votes either up or down. When I post a humorous piece I get about the same unless it gets C!ed a whole bunch and then I get twice as much. When I post fiction I usually get a spread of about +12/-2 for a grand total of 14 votes. Now, I know that this is sometimes because the story itself isn't good, though I'm inclined to think that this isn't always the case because most of my fiction nodes get 3 to 4 C!s and very positive comments from those who do read them. I therefore assume that people just don't read fiction here unless it is from exceptionally good noders.
So, maybe E2 isn't the place for fiction. Ah well. I'll continue to post stuff as long as the site survives (and it's lasted a damn slight longer than some of its naysayers have said).
Lake Uganda
Another Emperor Stevens story. This one plays off of America's love of often ill-informed interventionalism. This one comes from a late night conversation with futilelord about the fuel costs of such a venture. It eventually devolved into America forcing the poor Ugandans to accept all of the water from Georgia and South Carolina. Can you tell this was written during the Bush years?
Incident at the Stop
This story covers the subject of immortality far better than the damn FAQ. It's not a great story, but I still like the characters. The line "The moon is bright and the road a river with snowy banks and visible vapor," is probably the best part of the whole thing. I'll probably crib it for something else eventually.
The Voyage of the Roofer Boonhurst
This is rather popular, heavens knows why. It is a typed version of a journal that I kept from about 2001 to 2006 the purpose of which was to see how my writing changed while on various substances. That never really happened because substances are hard to come by when you're broke. The majority of it was written under the influence of Puerto Rican rum (I forget the brand). A few however were written on other stuff. Pesek 16th to 18th, the unreadable pages, were written on Benadryl, some of the poetry comes from chainsmoking datura cigarettes. There's DXM in there and at least one light dose of mushrooms. The hardcopy claims at one point to be a product of LSD but no LSD was used in its making.
What I like most about The Voyage of the Roofer Boonhurst is that despite its absurd method of composition, strange repetitiveness, lack of round characters, etc, etc, etc, is that it is a coherent story. To wit: A group of crazies are sent out into a desert/ocean by order of an emperor on a magic shopping cart (the Roofer Boonhurst). Along the way the Master of the Oars dies and comes back as "the Slain Oars Master" (a pun of Whore Master, apparently). The Oars Master chases the crew around the ocean until the captain of the shopping cart decides to head home. When they get there, they find their island nation is under attack. So, they fight off all of the enemy ships, the Oars Master is finally defeated and then the crew wins awards as if they were achievements in a bad videogame.
It's been mentioned in the catbox here and here.
Quick note: Despite any evidence to the contrary I maintain that it is all "patent nonsense" though the reader is invited to come up with as many interpretations as they want.
I really, really like this story and from what I've heard is that most people like it too. It is at heart an adventure story, a sort of Pirates of the Caribbean mixed with electric Kool-Aid.
April 14, 2007
A birthday log. This one reviews Piracy quest.
Kira, Kira Nightingale 4
So, if E2 isn't a venue for fiction, where would one go on the internet to find one? Well, nowhere. Other writing sites I've tried come off as extended workshop classes and those are universally useless. What I really want to do is reach as large an audience as possible and while the internet makes it easy to publish it does not make it easy to attract readers. In a conversation with a very popular noder of fiction who happens to have his own site, he told me that despite having a page on TV Tropes, his main story doesn't get the same number of hits his technical or geeky articles do. Which is too bad because the story is really good and probably should be published.
I can offer no solutions to the problem of attracting an audience online. Webcomics do fantastically well as do amateur videos, but literature doesn't. Maybe it's because of the format. Maybe people want to lay down in a comfy chair to read a story and that's hard to do with the internet (at least before the Kindle).
June 25, 2007
Turns out the George Clinton CD was in my room at the time.
It's a recipe node and as such its current rep is 23 ( +24 / -1).
October 31, 2007
This one is a giant info dump. It's a record of all the nodes I voted on in October 2007 and boy howdy did it take a lot of work. The amount of time recording votes is the only thing stopping me from doing it again. It's a lot of work. I do wish that other noders would try this though. It would be very interesting to get to know a few other noders voting habits… for science!
Somebody suggested the concept of the unChing!. I found it repulsive enough to write this about it.
On another note, I think LameGuyThomas should become an official E2 Bot.
An Unseen Enemy
A writeup for the '07 Brevity Quest. Poor D.W. Griffith, he was very talented filmmaker, but unfortunately for him he'll always be remembered as the racist son of a bitch who made Birth of a Nation. So, let that be a lesson for you artists. If you want to create lasting work try not to let your prejudices affect your legacy.
November 20, 2007
Oh God. This writeup. I wrote this after the two-word poem writeups really began to take off. I stated quite frankly that I wasn't impressed with them because it takes no talent to string a pair of neat sounding words together. Get bent, find rend, see Kent, burn lint, burn rubber, and pejorative apostasy to name a few. I was irritated by the writeups, posted my opinion on it, and then went about my day.
When I returned to E2 the next day I had received a private message from a female noder who will remain antonymous saying that I had really hurt her feelings with my comment on the two-word poems and that I had no right to hurt her feelings. I responded with the usual "Didn't mean to hurt any feelings, I just don't like the two-word poems and was voicing an opinion." The next message I got from her basically said "Well, then you have no right to express your opinion especially if it would be hurtful." I didn't take kindly to that and for the next several days we exchanged messages of increasing nastiness until finally we broke off contact with mutual fuck you's.
This still bothers me because I believe that I have the right to voice any opinion I chose regardless of what that opinion might do to another's feelings. If a person voices any opinion often enough he or she is bound to find somebody offended by it, but if that person decides that is significant reason not to voice an opinion they will soon find that they have no opinions at all and that the people with opinions will dominate them forever. So, I guess my answer is still fuck off, I'll say what I want. Sorry, I hurt your feelings, and while I never hated the two-word poems I still think they are insipid, uncreative drivel and my right to say so trumps your right to not be offend, which isn't a right recognized in any legal document that I am aware of. Sorry, but this is what I think and you can't make me unthink it or rescind it.
The Boy in the Iceberg
This is a review of an Avatar the Last Airbender episode. Originally, I planned to node the entire show, but that quickly proved to be very difficult due to the time it takes to review each one properly.
The Avatar Returns
Part two of the review. It's okay. The review, that is.
Australia: Deadliest Place on Earth
This would probably be my most popular humorous node. The idea for this comes from a real incident. The friend who is "moving away" was actually only visiting. I had a funny little impromptu speech about the dangers of Australia that stuck in my head for several months until it came out as the writeup you see before you. Interestingly, it also seems to be popular among Australian noders.
December 24, 2007
A short Christmas message from Twain that I thought was funny.
The World (as it ought to be)
I probably find this concept funnier than I really should.
Now that I reread it, I think this review is pretty accurate. The camera does protect the people who hold it. If the death were really dictated by random chance then you risk having the cameraman die and then the rest of the movie is the camera staring at the ground. Not very entertaining.
By-the-by, I hate spoiler tags. Now, I suppose there shouldn't be any spoilers for a review and quite a lot of them in analyses. Since this writeup is an analyses mislabeled as a review, I suppose the tag is justified, but… damn I still hate it.
Killing Your Own Characters
This fun little story came about after I had brutally murdered a woman in a story about commercialization. That story may yet appear on E2 if the next hundred magazines I send it to reject it.
Sex Around the World
I love this poem, but it seems that many people don't. Crude humor does have the power to amuse me. The word "queynte" is the Middle English word for "cunt" and is a near rhyme to "quaint".
School-age teenagers should be given compulsory spelling and grammar lessons
This is just a reaction to a rant posted above. If you're really interested you probably should read both.
This is a short node about the kthejoker game that showed up in the catbox on April 1st, 2008. It just explains how the game works.
Why I am Against the Death Penalty
The title here is a cruel, cruel joke on the poor smuck who is about to get zapped. The original writeup and node was by Mr. ushdfgakjasgh and was instantly zapped. I liked the title because it was perfect for the then untitled story. So I recreated the nodeshell and stuck the node in.
April 14, 2008
Another birthday log. I wonder if one day I'll look back at all of these and become hideously depressed about all the misspent time in my youth. Oh wait. I already do.
An Emperor Stevens story. Like most of them this idea comes from late night discussions with futile lord after the "heartbreak hill" section of the night has passed and dawn is sticking her rosy fingers into our minds and giving them a good squeeze. The idea is simple: Cybernetic Zombies whose programming is not integrated with their fleshy parts. The results are hilarious.
My Favorite Word
Based on an idea by Hyphenated, the idea was that this type of node could catch on like the two-word poem did. Obviously it did not, which is a shame because as writers I would have thought this a subject we could all write at least a blurb about.
American Pie Presents: Something is Alive in Her Bosom 2
The genesis for this writeup is here. I'd node the first movie, but it's fucking hard to sit through.
New Mexico State Quarter
I'm still disappointed we don't have a mushroom cloud on our quarter.
The Southern Air Temple
Another Avatar review. Not much to say but that I'm impressed that I actually put work into these things. Normally for a review I get drunk and yell into a tape recorder.
Soup, of the green variety
Even with 42 upvotes and 3 C!s I think this node is underrated. I really enjoy this joke if only because I got to look up absurd units of measurement. I am fairly sure the recipe is actually impossible to make, but if anybody manages to make it, please let me know.
I also like how this recipe is mixed in with real recipes. That node has a lot of good writeups in it.

I remember this day! Man, that was one of the busiest days of my life. The hot Asian chick bit probably needs explaining. Basically, it was a communication breakdown. I was supposed to meet them at a bowling alley, but I thought I was supposed to meet them at one of their houses. Get to the house, nobody there. You get the idea.
Fear the Cold
Fear the Cold, Banana-Anna Boys and the Cult of Awesome, and Give me a little bit of Heaven in your Smile are all, well… I wouldn't exactly call them prose poems, but they were all written at about the same time, are super short, and employ a strange sometimes nearly rhyming rhythm of words.
In the case of Fear the Cold, the idea was to start with an expanded world view and gradually shrink it. First we start with the house, then the bedroom, then the bed, and then the mind. It's supposed to be creepy. Hopefully it works.
Using Sign Language for Evil
I hope the ending to this rather banal writeup makes it clear that I don't actually do any of these things.
La Llorona
This is not a true story, at least not in part. When I was younger I did take long walks at night and I saw some pretty strange stuff, but never a ghost and certainly not her ghost. Incidentally, there are no good representations of her on the internet and finding stories on her is pretty hard even in Zimmerman Library, the largest library in the State of New Mexico.
Banana-Anna Boys and the Cult of Awesome
This is a very strange little thing written almost immediately after Fear the Cold. I have no idea what it is about except that it has something to do with keeping people in boxes and graphing guns to their faces.
open letter to Joe Biden
This is a very stupid joke meant to counteract the very serious nature of the writeup that was above it, an ush writeup if I recall correctly.
High School Musical
If you've not watched this you really have no idea how bad it is. But my statement about it being forgotten quickly does seem to be true. In just two years you almost never hear anything about it. That's really the punishment for these hacks. To be forgotten utterly except by period scholars dredging film libraries.
Give me a little bit of Heaven in your Smile
I really like this piece. It's the last of the extremely short pieces triad and I think it does what it needs to do quite well and maybe even beautifully.
November 4, 2008
The Death and Dying of the Light
With this story I wanted to see if I could use a lot of made-up words and still come across as intelligible. The story itself isn't that great, but the words are fun. Sometimes I think they're a little too obtuse, but other times I think they work very well indeed.
The Old Texas Joke
This exchange makes the writeup totally worth it.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
I don't even remember enough of this movie to comment on my own review of it. I guess I should say that if I don't remember the movie it probably wasn't very good.
February 9, 2009
This is a micro-review of all the Star Trek Series (except Deep Space). I think I'm exceedingly fair considering how bad I think they are. Also the J.J. Abrams movie sucked.
Urinating like a woman
People really seem to like this. Maybe I should use absurdist toilet humor more often.
Randy Puma
A collaboration between Rapscallion, tkeiser, and myself spawned from a catbox conversation. It turns out, if you really want to know, that the name "Randy Puma" seems to come from internet celebrity ZeFrank in context to a name he gives to an anonymous sportsracer. But I think I like our Randy Puma better. Just not his singing.
Let the Right One In
I don't generally write book reviews because I do enough of that for school and with the name "BookReader" it might be even expected. But this is a good book and I think people should at least check it out.

Another birthday. As some might know, I sometimes put riddles up on my homenode. This birthday log shows the answers to some of them. Riddling fascinates me, but I've never been good at solving them. Making them is easier, but still requires that you make sure that the answer you want is the only interpretation that can be achieved through the clues.
April 17, 2009
If I think about this I find I'm still angry about it.
If infinite alternate Universes exist, then where are all the visitors?
An interesting question. But not one I will plum right now. This is a node I'm surprised didn't get nuked. It certainly would have back in the Old E2 days. Or maybe not. I wasn't as well known back then and the survival of nodes I consider to be inferior after looking at them later might be a result of editors being less willing to nuke well known noders' nodes. Certain noders, and I won't name names, do get prissy when their stuff is nuked. This is particularly bad with poetry and I remember one incident where a noder who should have known better started a huge row over one of his nodes getting deleted. In more paranoid states I sometimes wonder if that incident lead to a decrease in editorial power on this site and thus to a decrease in the quality of our content.
This is an informative node about Donginger, the hostile robot who was eventually put down for rabies. I feel guilty that the bot is gone because it was my insult that he used that got him borged for the final time. Ah well.
Taken has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I still loath it even today. It's a bad film with no redeeming qualities. I've run across a few people who have argued this with me as if the film was good, but with such shitty writing it isn't a very tenable position. Any dialogue that goes on longer than four words is completely unstable and unconvincing. But really, a movie like Taken isn't about dialogue it's about ignominious mental masturbation in the form of perverse violence. I don't think it makes the world a worse place by existing, but I do think it makes people worse for having watched it.
May 29, 2009
Ah yes. An example of my University wasting money.
It's a transmitter. It's a radio for speaking to God.
I have no idea whether this is a pro-religious poem or an anti-religious poem, but I like the ambiguity and I think that this might be one of the few good poems I have ever written.
Donginger, draped in the apocalypse
I don't have much to say about this except that it is an amusing explanation about the Donginger/Senso deal and that I really like the image of Donginger with "million spiny wires and vibrating legs."
After the War
I'm very proud of my dialogue, but always nervous about my descriptions. I seem to have the opposite problem of most writers who say that dialogue is the hardest part of storytelling (and judging from most fiction books I'd say they're probably right). I almost never have trouble with dialogue and almost always have to rewrite descriptive passages. So, it is a nice break when I get to do a story that's nothing but dialogue.
Your grammar damages your credibility
This story abuses quotes so much that even I'm not sure who is saying what or even what's going on.
August 30, 2009
Not much here. Glad I was happy on that day.
The Winter Story
Even though this story is flawed in both ending and conflict, it is still one of my favorites. I love the overall feeling of the story.
The characters, by the way, are both from my fantasy novel as this was originally written as backstory. I had to cut it for pacing reasons, but I realized it could almost stand alone on its own and so I retooled it a little bit and put it on E2 after the urging of a fellow noder I had shown it to.
Disagreeable Options
An Emperor Stevens story. I really like this one although you could say it has some disagreeable parts. It is even more disturbing if you realize that the emperor character is basically me making fun of my teenage self, who would have been perfectly for all of the political opinions expressed by the establishment in these stories. So, when the emperor is naked… well, yeah, guess whose nuts are on display.
The Game
Thankfully this fad has faded and I rarely hear this bullshit anymore. Viruses of the mind are the worst especially when dipshits parrot them at you.
The Sea of Tranquility alone
Actually, this is probably the best poem I ever wrote. It just so tiny… and… alone.
GammaGirl, Nothing can slow her down
This was written for grundoon, obviously, and is about the worst poetry I've ever written, but I'll defend it because it's supposed to be incredibly unwieldy.
April 14, 2010
Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday dear guy who is stuck in my head because he is me. Happy birthday to me.
Elements of Game Design
It would be really nice if game designers followed something like this. More or less, this is a collection of my worst pet peeves in videogames and an attempt to explain why they are irksome and should be removed.
This is an interesting movie. It shouldn't be as bad as it is, and it isn't as bad as people would make you believe. It just stumbles so hard in the wrong places. Poor movie. It looks like it could have been good.
Flip-flops: Satan's footwear
Almost every bit of feedback I've seen from this writeup suggests that people either agree with me on this issue or that while flip-flops might be bad Uggs are worse. Before posting this, I didn't even know what an Ugg was. Now I do, and they are pretty bad, but I still insist the flip-flops are worse because of the sound they make.
If you're wondering why I spell flip-flop with a hyphen in the title but without the hyphen in the article, I have no idea. I would think it to be flip-flop rather than flipflop but I suppose either works and why be a stickler about that issue when I can be a stickler about the way "e-mail" is hyphenated.
Somebody sent me a message claiming I had tricked them into reading a fishing story. Sorry about that.
the other
One of the largest problems with posting longer fiction on E2 is that nobody reads it. That can be kind of frustrating when you post something that you think is really good and the few who do read send you messages raving about how good it is. I'm not sure if this piece I submitted for last year's horror quest is really as good as my inbox says, but I do really feel frustrated that this only has seventeen votes on it.
Of course, it might be equally foolish of me to expect anybody to see this complaint being as it is near the bottom of an extremely long writeup.
How to Write an English Paper
This is a modification of a paper on Twain I did last semester. Basically I took a B+ paper and made it a C-, which disturbingly wasn't that hard to do. I'm almost always surprised how many Bs I get on papers considering that I spend about two minutes on every page and don't bother to polish them or even proofread them.
John Williams
If I had known this year's Brevity Quest was coming up I probably would have waited to post this one.
Man, I'm getting old…

Some of you may note that there is now only 98 nodes listed above. I removed two for publication elsewhere. Nobody reads fiction anyway, so no great loss to the database.

The Third Coming
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Hynek UFO Report
Close Encounters of the Third Kind opens with a bang. At first the titles flash on and off in eerie silence, then a faint sound slowly swells in volume until it explodes. A symbol of the explosion that created the universe? The producers' hope that the movie will blow everybody's mind?
It is too early to know whether young (age thirty) Steven Spielberg, the director who gave us Jaws, has done it again, this time without a bare nipple or a spurt of blood. The film's dazzling photography, high decibel score, and tolerable acting make it hard to see how bad the film really is, but of course that is the secret of blockbusting. Douglas Trumbull, who created the special effects for 2001: A Space Odyssey, is indeed a genius, and his contributions to Close Encounters are everything the film's publicity says. Alas, beneath the visual hanky-panky stretches a thin, hackneyed plot that was done to death in the SF magazines and third-rate films of the Fifties.
This is easier to comprehend if you read Spielberg's written version, Close Encounters, just issued by Dell paperbacks as a movie tie-in. Here on the stark pages, uncontaminated by clanking sounds and flashing colors, you can savor the film's dull story, cardboard characters, and dreary dialogue in all their pure, clean, adolescent banality. Both novel and movie, however, have one thing going for them that could make the film as whopping a success as Star Wars. More than any other SF novel or movie, they reflect the extent to which ufology has become a pop religion.
Millions of Americans, disenchanted with science and politics, are longing for apocalypse—for a mystical explosion that will instantly solve the world's problems and start a new age of love. For Protestants who haven't left, or who are able to return to, evangelical Christianity, expectation of the Second Coming is rapidly rising. Billy Graham more and more thumps on the theme of a hopelessly corrupt world, firmly in Satan's grip, but any day now—surely soon!—the Lord will return. Eccentric cults based on Parousian nearness are flourishing as seldom before. Shabby books like Hal Lindsey's Late Great Planet Earth sell by the millions.
For those who cannot believe in the Second Coming, or the Messianic hopes of orthodox Judaism, there are the UFOs! If the earth is being visited by extraterrestrials, if the sky (as an Indian sadhu puts it in Close Encounters) is singing to us, surely the aliens must be friendly or by now we would have learned otherwise. It is this childish possibility that has kept the flying saucers aloft for thirty years. Thirty years! Exactly the age of Mr. Spielberg.
Strange things have, of course, always been happening in the heavens, but the first flying saucer "flap" had a precise beginning. It was June 24, 1947. Kenneth Arnold, flying his private plane near Mt. Rainier, saw nine dislike objects flipping through the firmament. A wire service man called them "saucers," flurries of new sightings…

Last month, we told you all about Mozilla's plans for a Metro version of Firefox. Now, Mozilla's Brian Bondy has updated his blog with fresh news about the project. As it turns out, a fair bit of work has been done already.
"As of last week, we have a working browser in Metro," says Bondy. "It currently looks and feels the same as the Android browser. You can navigate the web, create tabs, bookmark pages, build history, retain cache, adjust preferences, and more."
Now, as you can probably tell by the screenshot above, the user interface hasn't been Metro-ified just yet—Bondy says the browser still uses UI code from Fennec, Mozilla's mobile browser project. However, some Metro integration is already in place. The browser purportedly supports the Metro file picker, Metro search, Metro share (see above), and Metro snap (so it can run side-by-side with other applications).
Bondy says Mozilla still intends to deliver a "working Firefox prototype on Metro" by the end of this quarter.
This discussion is now closed.

| Albatron and Galaxy to go ATI Sources enjoying their life in Taiwan have told us that there will be two Nvidia only partners that will defect to ATI. Since Nvidia already limited Albatron to the Asian market only it was easy to be expected that they would start selling ATI. Albatron is the first one that wants to sell ATI cards as well. The second player is big in Poland and some other territories in Europe and it goes by the name of Galaxy. The company is part of the big group of graphics world controlling people better known as Palit, and since Palit itself and its branches, including Gainward, are selling ATI based products, it was just natural to see Galaxy ATI based cards. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?op...427&It emid=1

Gannett Co. on Tuesday said it will spin off its publishing business, creating two separate publicly traded companies, and confirmed it will buy full ownership of Cars.com for $1.8 billion.
Gannett said it will spin off of its publishing arm to shareholders, with the remaining company to focus entirely Gannett's broadcasting and digital business. Gannett expects the publishing business will be debt-free after the separation, as the broadcasting and digital company will retain Gannett's existing debt.
In addition, Gannett GCI, +0.00% said it will buy the remaining 73% stake in online ad-listings firm Cars.com that it doesn't own. The Wall Street Journal on Monday reported that the company was near a deal to take full ownership of the Cars.com. News of the sale was earlier reported by Bloomberg.
Gannett said it will fund the Cars.com deal with cash on hand, borrowings under its revolving credit agreement and through bond issuance of $650 million to $675 million.
The Cars.com business was put up for sale earlier this year, with hopes of generating a sale price of as much as $3 billion. The final deal values the site at $2.5 billion.
An expanded version of this report appears at WSJ.com.

ECHO LAKE, MT (KECI/CNN) – In Montana, a young boy is recovering from an otter attack.
Montana Wildlife officials say two adult otters bit the child several times as he swam in the lake.
He was taken to the hospital and later released.
People in the area say they didn't know otters attacked people.
"I'm very surprised. I didn't think they could even bite," resident Kaydee Jensen said.
Wildlife officials say otter attacks are rare, but when they happen it's usually because the animal is protecting its young.

By using freehand to roll this fondant Hello Kitty Face without any Hello Kitty's cookie cutter, roll some white prepared fondant out to a 1/8 inch thickness. Roll the fondant into round shape as Hello Kitty head shapes and make 2 little ears on top of it. Use black frosting in a pastry bag to pipe on Hello Kitty's eyes and whiskers.

{Valentine's dessert} Bavarois cheese cake with fresh raspberries
For those who do not know what is bavarois, basically bavarian cream or Crème bavaroise is a classic dessert, a Swiss invention according to the French. Bavarian cream is similar to thickened crème pâtissière but thickened with gelatin instead and flavoured with liqueur. With this, I've added some rum wine to enhance its taste. After that, it is lightened with whipped cream when on the edge of setting up, before being molded.
Heart-shaped French Financier cake
The friand pastry, which has become popular in Australia appears to have been based on the French financier; however, Australian's friands typically have additional flavorings such as coconut, chocolate, fruit, and nuts. Australian friands are baked in oval shapes. For this coming valentine's day, I've baked these French Financier cake into heart-shaped.
{Valentine Special} Edible Sugar Roses
Undeniably, roses are always the main character of Valentine's Day especially the Red one! This is the wonderful idea for decorating your Valentine's cake. These fondant roses harden up and are less fragile than royal icing flowers. They do take a little bit longer than icing roses, but the end result is wonderful. This first time may take longer. Once you get a hold of it, you will be making these roses a bunch at a time. They are worth it. Not to mention they do last longer.

French Meringue
With the simplest ingredients, the key to the formation of a good meringue is the formation of stiff peaks formed by egg white. If you've mastered French Macarons, this is even simpler than that - lesser steps to do and easier to do it successfully. In terms of taste, they are light, airy chewy and soft with a crisp exterior. The most important fact is meringue just a high source of protein, sugar as well :)

It's not Rin, they're different characters in a different one shot story, though they are clearly adapted versions of characters from Blue Exorcist, go and read it... it's well worth it, it's also a quick read.
Is this Rin in a different story? Seeing the anime Ao no Excorcist encouraged me to look up the manga and I found this as well. Can somebody explain this to me a little?

This was the most charming place we stayed in Florida! Very peaceful, exquisite sunsets from the house, water-views everywhere, We called it the "Shangri -La"... so very peaceful and warm weather , a beautiful setting made our stay which was a month go by too fast...5 miles to everything including the beaches which were so beautiful! Exceptionally clean and a lot of nature to enjoy, an acre to be exact, 500' to the St. Lucie River, 3 miles to the Indian River that has more species of fish than anywhere in the world due to the Indian River Lagoon.

Jensen Beach has beautiful beaches and weather all year and the temperature of the ocean is perfect all summer too.Years ago Bob Hope and Francis Langford made laws that give this area reserved land for the manatees, sea turtles and it is one of the few areas that has so many miles of no high risers- just pure beautiful beaches with lots of shells and tranquility. There is live entertainment on the waterfront nearly very evening and some fine artist from all over the world to entertain while you enjoy each other and the quietude of this cottage on an acre 500' from the St Lucie River where manatees, dolphins and more are abound...

It's Been So Much Fun...
I decided an easier way to tell people about the freebies and deals was to start a blog. I intended it to be simply a way for me to share deals with my loved ones and friends. I never dreamed that it would grow to what it is today.
While I have enjoyed the "wide world of blogging" and getting to interact with my readers across the country, I have always known that blogging was probably not something that I wanted to do on a long term basis. I did make a small amount of income and my family enjoyed the awesome freebies that companies would share with me to review. However, I knew that for me the blog was not something that I was willing to commit much more of my time to.
I have always been akward about "goodbyes" - so here it is:
Thank you for following my blog.
Thank you for your comments and words of encouragement.
Thank you for telling me your deals and bargains.
I hope that you have learned something about coupons from following this blog - and maybe gotten a few freebies too!

What?????????????? I will miss your blog! I love it! I know how much work it is, though, and I could only do my blog for about 3 months! It's a huge commitment of time. Maybe you could go to a Blogger conference or something and get reinspired! You truly do a great job.
Well, I'm sure you have no trouble keeping yourself very busy! :) Great work, and I learned soooooo much from you and from your blog. I can't believe all the stuff I learned from you! You were my inspiration!!! :)

I can't believe I didn't stumble upon this blog earlier and now it's gone! You're definitely a blogging kindred spirit since I am a SAHM mom of four (three girls and one boy!?!) who writes Green Bay Consumer, doing exactly what you did. I always try to emphasize not only the deals but to pay it forward and give back, too. I've made a few mommy blogger friends in the GB area; Sorry we didn't get a chance to get to know each other better. Good luck to you and your family.

I've always wanted to make one of these succulent wreaths. I've seen them in catalogs, and always thought I could make a nicer one myself. Last year, I went on a hunt to a floral supply warehouse to look for the circular frame- I had in mind a wire type wreath form. I had no luck. I have been turning the idea over in my mind trying to come up with the right container.
I was thinking about it last week when my friend, Jen's birthday came around. A group of us always celebrate each other's birthdays with a handmade gift. I thought about a bundt pan as a container. I called Marzipan to see if she wanted to go to the local thrift store to see if we could find something vintage. We both thought a bundt pan's sides would be too high, she suggested a jello mold.
With high hopes, we set off looking for something very specific -- and wouldn't you know it-- they had the PERFECT vintage jello mold for me to plant some sweet succulents in.
I lined the bottom of the pan with small stones, then added the plants..I thought I'd need extra sandy soil, but the dirt from the original pots was sufficient to plant all the succulents in the perfect pan. I was even able to droop some of the vining plants over the pan's edge for a more established look.
My friend, and birthday girl, Jenifer Juniper uses this pretty planter as a centerpiece to her patio table. The umbrella slides right through the center of the pan!

Online activists in Saudi Arabia are calling for harsher punishments for child abuse following reports that a prominent cleric received a light sentence after confessing to beating his five-year-old daughter to death.
The social media campaign which was gaining momentum last night is the latest attempt to pressure the kingdom's ultraconservative rulers.
Saudi media said Fayhan al-Ghamdi, a frequent guest on Islamic television programmes, was arrested in November on charges of killing the girl. Reports said he questioned the child's virginity. He was reported to have been freed last week after serving a short prison term and agreeing to pay $50,000 (£31,000) in "blood money" to avoid a possible death sentence.

Second Week at the de Young by Jennifer Ewing, January Artist-in-Residence
The second week at the Kimball was a blast with Friday night being the highlight.
For the museum, it was the perfect storm of events combining with the Orsay exhibition still going strong, permanent galleries free, and the start of the 6th year of Friday Night Fun. We had a lot of visitors so more people got to make their own totem boats and got to know about Spirit Boats.

My First Week at the de Young by Jennifer Ewing, January Artist-in-Residence
An important part of this Kimball residency is to hold a space that invites people to travel within a safe and welcoming place. Leo designed lettering and painted the walls with directions and associated elements as per the Toltec tradition. This helps set the stage and gives people a familiar and useful reference.

An update from June Artists-in-Residence, Michael Horse and Kim Shuck
By Kim Shuck:
In June 2010 Michael Horse, painter, actor, musician etc, was my partner in a residency at the de Young museum in San Francisco. He wanted this. He gave me a drawing... told me where the horses were to go and what colors... In most ways this is his work... aside from the hours of actually making the piece, that is. Looks pretty good I think. Not sure I would work with anyone else this way but... he's one of a kind.
For more information about Michael's work plug his name into youtube.com and hear him talk about it himself.

Totem Boats for Personal Journeys by Jennifer Ewing, January Artist-in-Residence
It began 6 years ago as a vehicle to transcend sadness on the loss of my father, Paul Ewing, when I found myself painting and doing collages I called "Spirit Boats" as a tribute to his memory. Like a stone thrown into a pond, the ripples moved outward as my work grew with personal references.

"Am I really going to talk about the purpose(s) of art?" by Kim Shuck, June 2010 Artist-in-Residence
One guest during my residency mentioned that he liked the larger canvas of a vest better than, say, a small pouch. I think I smiled and nodded at the time. It was towards the end and my desire to take up each and every teachable moment had waned somewhat. I've slept some now so: I don't make my work for entirely decorative reasons.

"It's a wrap" by Kim Shuck, June 2010 Artist-in-Residence
On the way past the bandshell I noticed that the puddle the squirrels were drinking out of yesterday had dried up. Fog all gone... It's quite hot actually.
More feathers.
The various animals didn't come around today. There were human visitors of varying sorts. I'm embarrassed to admit the major focus of the day. It wasn't profound. Mostly just feathers.

"Whoop de do" by Kim Shuck, June 2010 Artist-in-Residence

Developing a network security policy

In the old days of the mainframe, information was centralized so security was not as big an issue. Nowadays, with the advent of information being distributed across many servers located in different areas, security is a major concern. Protecting the information is a high priority. A network with a good accounting and auditing system will ensure that all activities are logged, thereby enabling malicious activity to be detected. In developing a network security policy, the CIO or network administrator need to know what assets are worth protecting and what actions or inactions threaten the assets. The following are points to consider when developing a network security policy:
Physical Security
Physical security involves protecting ALL network-related hardware and infrastructure. Physical security is the foundation of a sound network security policy. If proper network security is not implemented then the network security policy will not work.
Data Security
Data security will apply to protecting the information stored on network servers and the process by which information is accessed through the network. Only the right people should have access to the right information.
Remote Access Security
Remote access security specifies that users who are granted this privilege comply with the guidelines set forth by the network administrator.
Every user that logs on to the network must be authenticated. This is done by both the user id and password. When a workstation connects to the Internet, the firewall must be able to provide authentication. If set up properly, the firewall will grant and deny access based on rules.
Data Encryption
Data encryption is also an important part of the network policy. Encrypting information being sent across the network can reduce the probability of that information being intercepted.

Submission + - Paper "hacks into" Govt website by guessing URL (smh.com.au)
thelamecamel writes: "According to the NSW state government, the Sydney Morning Herald, a local newspaper, attacked the government's "website firewall security" for two days to research a recent story. The affected government minister said that the website was accessed 3727 times, and that "This is akin to 3,727 attempts to pick the lock of a secure office and take highly confidential documents..." and has referred the matter to police. But how did the paper "hack" the website? They entered the unannounced URL. Security by obscurity at its finest."

Plot Summary: a modern tale of Sleeping Beauty, but the Beauty doesn't wake for three hundred years...right into modern times.
I like fairy tale retellings. I think it's fascinating to see how authors put their own spin on an age-old tale that everyone knows. Which elements do they keep? Which elements do they change? How creative do they get? I love it.
This story is just as interesting as the others I've read. The author is incredibly clever with her modern twist to the story, showing how two individuals collide. One completely sheltered, and pretty spoiled. The other ignored, and also spoiled. The fact that they come from vastly different centuries just adds to the fireworks.
The beginning was great, and I loved the interactions between Talia and Jack, and actually thought this would make a great movie. I've never had that reaction to a book before, and it was kind of weird. But I still feel that way. I thought that Talia's reactions to the modern world were believable and interesting, and I thought that Jack's reaction to dealing with a princess had just the right balance of 'do it yourself' and 'okay, let me help.'
The ending wasn't as strong as I'd hoped. Everything got tied up with a bow, a bit too close to Disney endings. But this might just be the author's style – another book of hers, BEASTLY, also has a wonderfully imaginative modern twist to Beauty and the Beast, but too many Disney elements. Including the ending.
Still, I enjoyed the story quite a bit. If you like fairy tale retellings, and Disney, you probably will, too.

This book is a lot of fun. I like to read books like these in between the heavier, darker ones. Mixes things up well. :)

Both KISS IN TIME and BEASTLY are cleverly modern retellings. And fun. It's getting harder to put your own twist on fairy tales, but Flinn manages it quite well.

That sounds great. I LOVED Ella Enchanted, which this reminds me of just a little. Sadly, the movie wasn't a patch on the book, but maybe this one will be different!
