Ever since the movie Bridesmaids was announced, the feminist blogosphere has been abuzz with speculation about the first women-oriented "bromance"-style movie. The movie opened in theatres in Canada last Friday and I had a chance to go see it this weekend so thought I'd weigh in on the discussion.
Bridesmaids is a new comedy from Judd Apatow, written by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, and directed by Paul Feig. The plot revolves around Annie (Wiig), a single woman who's in a casual relationship with a douchey guy (Jon Hamm) and who's struggling to get back on her feet after her bakery business folded. Things take a turn for the even worse when her friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) gets engaged and asks Annie to be her Maid of Honour. Annie accepts and joins the eclectic bridal party, including super-rich diva-esque Helen (Rose Byrne) and other bridesmaids played by Wendi McLendon-Covey, Melissa McCarthy, and Ellie Kemper.
One thing that distinguishes Bridesmaids from other wedding-oriented romcoms is its yuck factor (including the food poisoning scene covered in the trailer):
The toilet humour moments and the number of sex jokes are part of what's led to some calling Bridesmaids "The Hangover for Women". A lot of feminist and women's blogs like Jezebel and The Mary Sue praised Bridesmaids for blazing a new trail for women's comedy and succeeding where other women-centric movies have failed.
So first, the good stuff about Bridesmaids:
- The movie easily passes the Bechdel test. Even though the movie is wedding-focused it's almost more about women and their friendships. Annie spends a lot of time talking with Lillian, Helen, and the other bridesmaids about things that aren't related to men. One thing I really liked was that in at least a couple of scenes (one scene where the characters are post-workout and another where Lillian is crying), the movie showed the women with less makeup than you'd usually see in a mainstream Hollywood movie. Seeing more of the tiny "flaws" made the characters seem more real.
- It shows weddings in all their insanity.Bridesmaids isn't anti-wedding, per se, but it does show all the insanity that surrounds huge, expensive weddings. Annie, who's broke, bears the brunt of it when she's constantly forced to shell out for Maid of Honour responsibilities like buying a bridesmaid's dress and organizing a shower and bachelorette party.
- Kristen Wiig is hilarious. I didn't think Bridesmaids was the funniest movie I'd ever seen, but it had a few great scenes, mostly because of Kristen Wiig's awesome use of facial expressions. I particularly liked her drunk scene on the plane and her reaction when she finds out Maya Rudolph's character is engaged. Other notable acting mentions to Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne.
Now, the critique:
- It's unoriginal. As Kjerstin at Bitch Magazine blogs points out: "While this film is garnering comparisons to The Hangover and not, say, The Brothers Karamazov, it's like the six leading (mostly white) women were given a bucket of character and when they had to divvy it up, each had barely enough personality to fill a single high-heeled shoe." The movie is rife with cliched stereotypes and jokes about diarrhea aren't exactly creative. The only thing that makes it different is that the plot's happening to women characters.
- It portrays singledom as pathetic. Can't go into this too much without getting into spoilers. Let's just say Annie's the only character that shows both sanity and a degree of independence but even she has a lot of insecurity over being single.
- It's only good because the bar's set so low. Bridesmaids is not revolutionary and it's not an achievement for women. I found it enjoyable, but it's sad that this is considered so groundbreaking given the fact that it follows so many character cliches and has such a lack of clever humour. It's also sad that the future of comedies not centred around straight, white men may hinge on the commercial success of Bridesmaids, given that I wouldn't say it reached a pinnacle of movie quality, even for light comedies.
Bridesmaids isn't an achievement for women. If anything, it reinforces the idea that women have to prove they can be as funny as men, in a style developed by men. That said, it was a nice break from the bromances and it was enjoyable and funny enough that I can still recommend it.

Guthrie Introduces Track and Field/Cross Country Staff
Courtesy: CMU Athletic Communications
Release: 09/09/2013
Joining the Chippewas' staff as assistant coaches will be Andrew Basler and Bryant Wilson. Basler and Wilson join associate head coach Matt Kaczor and assistant coaches John Ridgway and Dionne Henley who will remain with CMU in their previous roles.
Basler will work with the jumps and women's multi-events. He begins his second stint as an assistant coach at CMU, having previously worked with the women's track and field team's sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers and combined-event athletes from 2005-2007. Highlighting his tenure was the performance of Tamera Thomas, who earned All-America honors in the pentathlon at the 2006 NCAA indoor championships and was named Most Valuable Performer at the 2006 Mid-American Conference indoor championships. Basler coached two athletes who qualified for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials, three who qualified for the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships, two U.S. Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships qualifiers, six MAC champions, three MAC record holders and 13 school record holders.
"When I accepted the Director's position at Central Michigan, Andrew was the first name on my short list of staffing considerations," Guthrie said. "He was a national champion as one of my athletes at UW-La Crosse, he has history at CMU serving as a graduate assistant where his athletes still hold school records, and at UC-Riverside, he annually has multiple men and women jumpers at the NCAA First Round and NCAA Finals. He brings a strong recruiting presence, is technically sound in his event area, has the logistical skills in meet management and travel I was seeking. Most importantly, he participated in and understands the championship culture I want to introduce with the Chippewas."
Since 2007, Basler has been the assistant men's and associate head women's track and field coach at the University of California-Riverside, where he has worked directly with the program's sprinters, hurdlers, jumpers, combined event athletes and javelin throwers. Administratively, Basler has managed the program's travel and equipment budgets while also serving as meet director for each of Riverside's home track and field and cross country meets (including the Big West Conference Championships from 2008-12).
At Riverside, Basler has coached six U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships qualifiers, five junior national championships qualifiers, three indoor national championships qualifiers, five NCAA All-Americans (combined indoor and outdoor), 12 Big West outdoor conference champions and 37 school record holders (combined indoor and outdoor). Two of his athletes earned special recognition in 2011 when Ashley Gatewood was named Big West Conference Female Field Athlete of the Year and Danielle Littleton was tabbed Big West Conference Female Freshman Athlete of the Year.
Under the tutelage of Guthrie at Wisconsin-La Crosse, Basler was the 2002 NCAA Division III indoor national champion in the long jump. He was a three-time NCAA Division III All-American and was the captain of La Crosse's teams that swept the indoor and outdoor NCAA team championships in 2001 and 2002.
Basler earned a Bachelor of Science degree in art from La Crosse in 2002 and is working toward a Master of Arts in sport administration degree from Central Michigan.
Wilson brings an expertise in the pole vault to the Chippewas' coaching staff. A four-time NCAA Division II national champion and two-time U.S. national championships qualifier in the event, Wilson has previously worked with the pole vaulters at Illinois (2010-11) and Saginaw Valley State (2011-12). He will work with pole vaults, men's multi-events and sprints.
"Bryant brings instant credibility as an international caliber athlete and four-time National Champion in the pole vault," Guthrie said. "As a Hale, Michigan product, he possess a knowledge of Michigan high school track and field. That, when coupled with his energy and enthusiasm, was an exciting dimension that I was looking for. He also brings a sprint dynamic to CMU as well with his background in strength and conditioning along with years spent at Illinois with Bryan Carrell working with pole vault and three-time Olympian and coach Tanja Buford–Baily."
In his one season at Illinois, Wilson mentored Matt Bane, who won the Big Ten Conference indoor championship as a freshman. Another freshman, Steph Richartz, placed third at the outdoor conference championships and earned a bid to the NCAA Regionals. Five different vaulters achieved lifetime personal bests under Wilson at Illinois.
At Saginaw Valley State, Wilson guided Elizabeth Willford to a 10th place finish at the NCAA indoor championships in 2012. Most recently, Wilson was assisting with on-track training of the middle distance runners at Northwood.
Wilson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education from Grand Valley State in 2010. He swept the indoor and outdoor pole vault national titles in 2007 and 2008, was an eight-time All-American and is Grand Valley State's school record holder in the indoor and outdoor pole vault.

A politburo /ˈpɒlɪtˌbjʊəroʊ/ is the executive committee for a number of (usually communist) political parties.[1]
The term "politburo" in English comes from the Russian Politbyuro (Политбюро), itself a contraction of Politicheskoye Byuro (Политическое бюро, "Political Bureau"). Among the remaining Communist states, the Spanish term Politburó was directly loaned from Russian, while Chinese uses a calque (Chinese: 政治局; pinyin: Zhèngzhì Jú), from which the Vietnamese (Bộ Chính trị), and Korean (정치국, 政治局 Jeongchigug) terms derive.
The very first politburo was created in Russia by the Bolshevik Party in 1917 to provide strong and continuous leadership during the Russian Revolution occurring during the same year. However, after the Bolshevik's insurrection in Petrograd, the politburo was dissolved and the Central Committee became the governing body of Russia.[2][3] During the twentieth century, nations that had a politburo included the USSR, East Germany, Afghanistan, Czechoslovakia and China, amongst others. Today, there are five countries that have a communist politburo system (China, North Korea, Laos, Vietnam, and Cuba).[4]
Marxist-Leninist states[edit]
In Marxist-Leninist states, the party is seen as "the vanguard of the people" and from that legitimizes itself to lead the state. In that way, the party officials in the politburo informally lead the state.
In the Soviet Union for example,[5][6] the General Secretary of the Communist Party did not necessarily hold a state office like president or prime minister to effectively control the system of government. Instead, party members answerable to or controlled by the people held these posts, often as honorific posts as a reward for their long years of service to the people's party. On other occasions, having governed as General Secretary, the party leader might assume a state office in addition. For example, Mikhail Gorbachev initially did not hold the presidency of the Soviet Union, that office being given as an honour to former Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Joseph Stalin ruled the Soviet Union for well over a decade before assuming the governmental position of Premier of the Soviet Union during World War II.
Officially, the Party Congress elects a Central Committee which, in turn, elects the politburo and General Secretary in a process termed democratic centralism. Thus, the politburo was theoretically responsible to the Central Committee. Under Stalin this model was reversed, and it was the General Secretary who determined the composition of the Politburo and Central Committee. This tendency decreased to some extent after Stalin's death, though in practice the Politburo remained a self-perpetuating body whose decisions de facto had the force of law.
Trotskyist parties[edit]
In Trotskyist parties, the Politburo is a bureau of the Central Committee tasked with making day-to-day political decisions, which must later be ratified by the Central Committee. It is appointed by the Central Committee from among its members. The post of General Secretary carries far less weight in this model. See, for example, the Lanka Sama Samaja Party.

Lean Body Shake
One thing everyone seems to be looking for is the best-tasting low-carb meal replacement shake mix they can find. One of the top contenders is right here, Labrada Lean Body Shakes. Everyone seems to like the taste and we've had virtually nothing but positive feedback about this product. It's going to take care of your protein needs with 40g of Labrada's high-quality LeanPro® Protein Blend, more than you'd get in a half dozen eggs. Plus a ton of fiber, vitamins, minerals, balanced carbs and healthy fats. Labrada Lean Body Shakes contain no maltodextrin, artificial colors, preservatives, or trans-fats. Really great-tasting and a good next choice if you're not really happy with your current protein or meal replacement shake.
Lean Body Shake
New and Improved Lean Body® was designed in conjunction with a team of biochemists, nutritionists, and doctors to provide hard-training athletes with a concentrated source of protein and essential nutrients in an easy-to-use, delicious drink.Lean Body® contains 45 grams of LeanPro™, our exclusive blend of highest quality proteins, including ion-exchanged whey protein to provide support for your muscle growth.Lean Body® has a smooth, delicious taste!Lean Body® mixes instantly without a blender!Lean Body® is low in sugar, low in fat, and low in sodium!Lean Body® contains no hydrogenated oil, salt, corn syrup solids, fructose, mono or diglycerides.
Manufacturer's Directions
Fill glass with 10oz. of water or your favorite beverage. Add 1 packet (79g) of Lean Body, and mix with a spoon until powder is evenly distributed.
Hands down the best tasting MRP on the market! The Lean Body shakes always make it more convenient for me to get in some well balanced nutrition, especially when I'm short on time. Since implementing the LB shakes into my daily nutritional regimen I've been able to gain more lean body mass and considerably loss more body fat than before. I recommend it to anyone who wants a great tasting and well balance MRP that really works!
I used to use Myoplex but I switched to Lean Body and prefer it by quite a lot. Myoplex always just tastes like protein shake to me... unappealing mix of that protein taste covered up with artificial flavors. Lean Body manages to taste much better... the chocolate reminds me of ovaltine, the strawberry of nesquik, and the vanilla (my least favorite) of cake batter.
Also, being a natural-minded healthy eater, the ingredient list is not completely natural but at least less un-natural than a lot of brands. Love to see high fiber content, flaxseed oil, oat flour, and NO maltodextrin or aspartame.
Highly recommended.
if this shake was served to me at the ice cream store, I would have never known the difference, it is soo good, it also does not include the poison aspartame in it, I give it a five star!
I like the taste of the Labrada, works as well as myoplex, but costs less. My favorite aspect is the fact that it mixes easily and smoothly in a shaker, which makes it great for work-no blender neaded.
I work for AllStarHealth.com, so I get to sample different products from time to time. I have been pretty loyal to Myoplex for the past few years, but I think i might give Labrada a chance to win me over. The profile is very similar to Myoplex it has 2 less grams of protein, and the taste was just as good, if not better. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a meal replacement to supplement their diet. Ive only tried the vanilla and I mixed it with strawberries, blueberries, and soy milk to make myself a breakfast shake. Ive heard the chocolate flavor is good too, so maybe Ill try that one next.

A titular see taking its title from one of the many Egyptian cities of the same name. This particular Busiris was situated in the middle of the Delta, on the Pathmitish, or Damietta Branch of the Nile. The ancient Egyptian name, Pa-osiri means "House of Osiris", the god being supposed to be buried there; hence the Coptic Pousiri, Greek Pousiris and Bouseiris, Arabic Abusir. It now exists as a village under the last of these names and is to be distinguished from another similarly named town on the coast of Lydia. Busiris was the chief town of the Busirite nomos (Hierocles, Synecdemos 725,7) and became a see of Ægyptus Secunda. Its bishop, Hermæon, is mentioned at Nicæa (325) by Meletius, as one of his partisans. About this time there was united to the title of Busiris that of Kynos, from the important city of Lower Kynos (Athanas., "Apol. c. Arianos", lxxviii, in P.G., XXV, 376). Its bishop, Athanasius, defended Dioscorus at the Latroecinium of Ephesus in 449, but apologized publicy at Chalcedon (Liberatus, Breviarium, xiv). From the seventh century on, the see is mentioned in the lists of the Greek patriarchate (Georgius Cyprius, 736), though its titulars belong really to the Jacobite patriarchate. Thus, in 742, its bishop, James, takes a part in the election of the Patriarch Michael I (Renaudot, "Hist. Patriarch. Alexandrin.", 207); a little later, under the same patriarch, its bishop, Peter, is mentioned (ibid., 227); we hear also of Severus, under Philotheus (979-1003) and of Chail, or Michael, and Mohna in the thirteenth century (ibid., 458, 569).
Lequien, Or. Christ., II, 569,570; Gams, Series episcop., 461. For the ruins at Abusir, see Naville in the Seventh Mem. of the Egyptian Exploration Fund (London, 1890), 27.

ditto. Let's keep this as a reminder.
But we're not here to help people hurt themselves, either. Sometimes the question itself, belies such a lack of familiarity with the basic issues, that the best advice is "you shouldn't DIY that particular project".
You have to know your limits.
Example: I can spec out the beams for this renovation I'm planning, as far as the dead & live loads go. But as far as figuring out the shear loads, and designing the moment frame connections to handle it, I'm much better off just calling an engineer.
The poster's asking about plugging a 110 appliance into a 220 receptacle... best answer is: "you shouldn't be messing with electricity". Anything else would be irresponsible on our part.
Master Plumber Mark:
there is nothing better than the
manly smell of WD 40 in the air
while banging away on brass with a chisel and hammer...
it smells like......victory......
do not hit your thumb...
Just so everyone's clear: I'm the POODLE in the picture ("french", get it?) The hot woman is my wife.

I originally ordered the Preston in M11. When I got them they were too small. I went to the Crocs Waikele outlet, Ala Moana Shopping Center store and finally the Waikiki Store. There, the only golf shoes that would fit were the Preston in size 13. It's true! If you are between sizes, go up 1 1/2 sizes. So my original 11s turned into comfortable 13s in a different style shoe. If there are Honolulu shoppers I suggest you go to Waikiki if you want the widest selection of golf shoes. For those of you with more "modest" shoe sizes, the Ala Moana store will have most mid-sizes. Oh, and the Waikiki staff was soooooo helpful, too!

My husband LOVES these golf shoes!!
Purchased these for my husband this summer. He has worn them 5-6x for full rounds of golf- Loves every step in them. He even wanted to take them to Las Vegas to walk around in. Every game of golf he calls me to tell me how comfortable these shoes are. I expect this will be his prefered golf shoe from now on.
Best Golf Shoes EVER
I purchased these golf shoes about a month ago and I can honestly say they are the most comfortable golf shoe I have ever worn. I'm a 9 handicap and my golf scores have gone down, since wearing the shoes. I had previousy worn Footjoy spikeless golf shoes and they are no comparison to this shoe. Thanks for a great set of golf shoes. BTW I did buy 1 size larger, than I normally wear.

A Shot in the Dark
A Jesse James Dawson Novel
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Jesse James Dawson's vacation is interrupted by a pack of hell-spawned creatures. To save friends, family and himself, Jesse will have to put his trust in his most dangerous enemy-his personal demon.
Chapter 1
Two years ago…
"Fire in the hole!" I grabbed the kid by the front of his shirt and dragged him into the water, falling on top of him to protect him further. Problem being, there was room for one man at the bottom of the pool, but not two. Half submerged as I was, the explosion was enough to deafen me, the sound wave skipping across the top of the water to smack me upside my very thick skull.
As I felt things pelting down on me, splattering my shoulders and the one arm I couldn't get under the water, I was forced to admit that this had not been one of my better ideas. I pressed my forehead against the kid's, trapping him under the water, and held my breath until spots danced before my eyes. Pondering just how I'd gotten to this point, I was pretty sure that somehow, it was the poodle's fault.
Now, I hate poodles. They're not even real dogs. They're more like rats in sheep's clothing. The constant "yip yip yip" should be blared over loudspeakers to end police standoffs. And no cute fluffy animal should be pink. It's just wrong on so many levels.
So I hope you can understand the amazing amount of restraint I exercised, not half an hour earlier, as someone's pink, yappy, woolly rat barked and snapped around my ankles. One quick stomp with my heavy boot and it'd be all over for the glorified rodent. I had a feeling my client, the dog's owner, would object to me murdering her darling Mitzi or Bitsy or whatever the hell its name was. She seemed the objecting type.
"Now you're certain you can do this? You come highly recommended, but…" It was the umpteen thousandth time she'd asked the very same question.
"Ma'am, I can't promise anything. Yes, I think I can do this. But there is always an element of uncertainty. Anything could happen." I was tired of pointing out to her that the contract was already set, so she was stuck with my services whether she liked it or not. If not for that, and my own personal honor, I might have bailed a long time ago myself.
She sniffed, her jaw tightening in displeasure. I got the feeling that she was used to getting absolute answers. From her dyed hair to her real pearl necklace, from her trimmed-in-real-mink coat to her purse by some designer I'd never heard of, Mrs. Effingham was a lady. The kind that expects you to use the word with a capital L like some kind of title. When she snapped her manicured fingers, she expected the world to come running. Guess that explained how her kid wound up like he was.
Junior was standing behind Mummy, shoulders stooped sullenly. He obviously didn't want to be here, despite the fact that he was the guest of honor. His very expensive haircut was ruined by the fact that he probably hadn't showered in days, and with his hands stuffed in his pockets, he practically oozed teenaged angst. Occasionally, he would look up at his mother and this flicker of absolute hate would pass through his eyes, but most of the time he gazed vacantly into space.
The breeze carried a faint hint of lilac and the promise of a spring shower. From the manor house behind us, I could catch the smell of something in the soup genre being prepared for dinner. Though, it probably wasn't soup, it was something fancy like bisque or… whatever rich people eat. Nothing out of a can for this family, no way.
It was definitely the fanciest backyard I'd ever been in. Tall stone walls marked the borders, stately and dignified. The elaborate koi pond put my own water garden to shame. I mean, what they called a pond, I'd call a pool and me and my buddies would be swimming in it. And I would forever be envious of the barbecue grill (apparently unused) sitting on their expansive patio. The gas grill was almost big enough to require its own garage.
Dressed in my tarnished mail, with a sword hanging on my left hip, I stood out on their carefully sculpted lawn like one of those tacky yard ornaments. Maybe the one of the old farmer mooning. Damn good thing their neighbors couldn't see into the yard. The high walls prevented that, and cast long shadows across the grass, creeping slowly toward us as the sun made its way downward in the sky.
Beyond the walled garden where we stood, down the hill in some quaint New England village, a church bell tolled the half hour. The time was drawing close.
"Mrs. Effingham, if I could have you return to the house while we do this. I only need Elliot here with me." And take your gawdawful yappy dog with you.
"I prefer to remain with my son, thank you."
I finally turned to face her, drawing up to my full height to make sure I got the "looking down" part just right. Scruffy and uncouth as I am, I know how to be intimidating when I need to be. "That wasn't a request, Mrs. Effingham. That was an order. This is not a spectator sport."
Splotches of color flared under the caked-on makeup on her cheeks, not an attractive look at all. "How dare you? I am paying you good money"
"You are paying me to be an expert in what I do. So we either do this my way, or I walk now, and your darling little boy goes to Hell. With or without the handbasket." Sometimes, I'm just an asshole. I admit it. I couldn't have walked away, not with the contract set, but she didn't need to know that. She gaped like a landed fish for a few moments before jerking the poor poodle into her arms and stalking across the landscaped lawn to the house.
Only then did I get a faint smile from Junior. "Man, you royally pissed her off."
"I have that effect on people." With Mummy gone, I could feel some of the tension go out of my shoulders. Sad when I'd rather face a demon than an upstanding social matron. Guess I could understand some of Junior's rebellious tendencies. "How are you doing?"
He shrugged his shoulders, finding the grass infinitely more interesting than looking at me. "Okay." Not much on public speaking either. I figured it just never got to be his turn to talk with his mother around.
"Do you understand what's going on here?" In all my negotiations for this particular challenge, I'd had very little chance to actually talk to the kid. Mummy had handled most of the details.
"Yeah. Guess so." He shrugged again and kicked a bare patch in the grass.
"Do you understand that this is your only chance? If I fail, your soul is bound for Hell when you die. No getting out of it, no reprieve." There ought to be an age limit on demon contracts. A sixteen-year-old shouldn't be able to just wish away their soul on any little thing that catches their fancy.
Scuff scuff went the sneakers.
"Do you even want your soul back?"
His fidgeting stopped, and after a moment, he nodded. I was just happy to get something that wasn't a shrug. "I'm cold all the time now. I want to warm up." Most likely, the chill was in his mind, but whatever worked.
"Even if I win, if you do this again, you're on your own. Mommy can't buy you out of this again."
Junior nodded once more, his dark brows almost meeting above his eyes. "Yeah, I got it. She's been screaming it in my ear for weeks now."
"She's just worried about you."
Junior snorted. "No, she's worried that I'm gonna embarrass her. Can't let anybody know that Ava Effingham's boy sold his soul for a freakin' car. Somebody else's kid probably sold theirs for a Harvard degree or something, much more respectable."
I had to give the kid a teeny weeny bit of credit. He'd sold his soul for a '72 Corvette Stingray. I mean, at least he sold it for a car, not some piece of crap. Of course, I'd only seen pictures of the vehicle. It was currently in a pile of scrap in some auto yard, chunks of the telephone pole that killed it still embedded in the metal. The boy was lucky to be alive.
See, that's the thing about demon contracts. They never say what you think they do. Just because the demon promised you a car, or whatever it was, doesn't mean that it said how long you get to keep it.
I also had to give him credit for the most words I'd heard him string together. There was no mistaking the bitterness in his voice. "Sounds like there's issues there."
That earned me another noncommittal shrug. "Just usual stuff."
The shadows from the wall had reached the toes of my boots, and I loosened my katana in its scabbard. Flexing my left wrist, a small item dropped out of my thick leather bracer into my palm. I examined the coinjust some worthless carnival trinket I'd dragged home from somewhereand rolled it over the backs of my fingers a few times 'cause it looked cool. The metal made my skin tingle. It was almost time. "Where's your dad in all this?"
"He died. Three years ago. Mom says it was cancer, but I know better. It was… that liver thing you get when you drink too much. What is that?"
"Yeah, that's it." Junior shrugged yet again. He had a very limited body vocabulary. "We weren't really close."
"You know, in ancient Japan, if a boy's father died, the boy became the head of the household. Kids even younger than you. They were expected to armor up and go fight as knights, just like their fathers had."
"That had to suck."
"They were treated like adults. They were given great respect."
He snorted. "That'd never happen here. Mom's a control freak."
"No?" The shadows oozed over the toes of my boots. Almost there. Flip flip flip went the coin, back and forth across my knuckles. "You were grown up enough to sell your soul, even if it was for something stupid. I figure if you're enough of an adult with that crowd, you're an adult for me. You want a bit of advice from a total stranger?" Shrug. "Well, you're gonna get it anyway, 'cause I might be dead after this and then I won't get to say it."
That caught his attention and he finally looked up, puzzlement in his eyes. I suppose it had never occurred to him that a man may die today because of him. For kids, death is something that happens in movies and video games, or hidden away in sterile hospitals. It doesn't happen in your backyard, with somebody's guts spilling out on your Chuck Taylors.
"Your dad is gone. You're all your mom has. Even if she rides your ass sometimes, it's only because in her own warped way, she loves you. Man up, grow a pair, and earn that respect you want."
Junior didn't seem to know what to say to that. I didn't expect much. Hallmark moments don't really happen, and I highly doubted there'd be some miraculous change in him no matter how the next hour or so turned out.
My boots were cast in full shadow. The church bell tolled again. Quarter 'til. Time. With a flick of my thumb, I launched the coin into the air and watched as it sparkled on its descent, sinking into the bottom of the koi pond with a tiny splash. Smirking to myself, I murmured, "No magic on my person. Yessir Mr. Demon, whatever you say."
Next, I turned to Junior and offered him a respectful bow. "With your permission, sir, I'll get this show on the road."
"Um… yeah, sure… What do I need to do?"
I adjusted the heavy leather bracers on my wrists, rolled my shoulders to loosen them up, and did one or two deep knee bends. My armor jingled faintly. I was ready. "You don't need to do anything but stay out of the way. And whatever you do, keep out of the shadows."
With a startled look at his feet, Junior took two big steps back from the wall's advancing shade. Me, I stood right at the boundary, that wavering line between light and dark.
As the last distant bell died away, the shadows in front of me… rippled. It's the only way I could think to explain it. Like tiny waves lapping, they rippled in a way that had nothing to do with the texture of the ground beneath them, or the breeze that still stirred the evening air. With each subtle pulse, the darkness gathered substance, grew, solidified. Something oozed up from the earth itself, and the grass turned brown and withered as I watched.
And up from the ground come a-bubblin' crude. Oil that is. I smirked at my own humor, but kept it to myself. The kid probably wouldn't know what I was talking about anyway.
The oily-looking substance took on form, rising up like a liquid serpent, and swayed in front of me, its "head" at eye level. A sickly parody of a rainbow colored the dark surface, shifting and changing with the viscous fluid beneath.
It was a Snot demon, as I classified them, lacking the power to hold a more complex form, and barely sentient enough to negotiate for the souls it required. The amorphous head dipped and turned as it eyed me, the body stretching out into the yard nearly to the wall. It had to be a good twenty feet long, and as big around as my thigh. The smell of sulfur and ozone overrode the lilac in the air.
I slid my katana out of its scabbard and took one step forward. "I am Jesse James Dawson, here to champion the soul of Elliot Eugene Effingham." The kid's mom musta hated him. I vowed to never bitch about my own name again. "Are we in agreement?"
The black tattoo covering my right arm from knuckles to elbow said that we were. The contract had been negotiated as tightly as possible, considering the Snot's lack of communication skills. I'd even managed to work in a few sly tricks of my own. I hoped. I flexed my left wrist, feeling the empty place in the bracer where the coin had once been. I had to trust that I'd bargained well, or this was going to be a short fight.
The ooze creature rose up to tower over me, no doubt to be intimidating, but it misjudged the height of the wall behind it, and the last rays of the setting sun caught it. It ducked back down with a hiss of displeasure that caused tiny bubbles to rise from its innards and pop on the surface. The smell of sulfur got stronger, and I had to hide my smirk.
Yeah, these things weren't too bright, and as long as the sun was in the sky, this thing was confined to the shadow of the wall. It could advance only as quickly as the sun set, following the absence of light over the grass. It would take time to get it where I wanted it, but hopefully it was enough time to let me really piss it off, which was just what I needed.
A face formed at the end of the long serpent, with barely enough definition to even be called a face. There were indentations that could be eyes, an opening that might be a mouth. The nose was… well, a lumpier lump among the rest of the lumps. The faux face stretched into a broad smile, appearing inordinately cheerful. Okay, that was just plain eerie. "We are ____. We are ready."
First off, the mere sound of the creature's name, impossible to spell or pronounce with any human tongue, made things inside my head seize up and quiver, quietly calling for Mommy for a few moments. And second, the oily sheen on the creature's surface seemed to taint its voice as well, and my stomach rolled as the strangeness slithered into my ears and coated my tongue. I forced myself to swallow the sour taste at the back of my throat. The first time I heard a demon speak, two years ago, I'd puked. I was past that now.
The kid wasn't. I could hear him ralphing up his breakfast behind me. It may have even been last week's breakfast. And his sneakers. And someone else's sneakers. Ew.
"Elliot, if you could move back toward the patio when you're done?" The shadows were creeping ever forward, and I needed room for what I had planned. It was either going to be freakin' brilliant, or the stupidest thing I'd ever tried.
"You must come out of the light." The thick serpent's head bobbed up and down, feeling out the limits of its shadowy confinement.
I couldn't help it, the smirk finally made its escape. "Go into the light, Carol Anne." And I struck.
It wasn't a hard blow by any means. More of a love tap, really. But when I drew back, a thin slice of demonic ooze flipped off my blade, vanishing into a wisp of black mist before it hit the ground.
The oil serpent reared back more in surprise than pain, then whipped its tail around to take a swipe at my legs. I jumped and it missed, passing beneath my feet. The demon recoiled out of the stinging sunlight, massing for another attack in the safety of the wall's shadow. Me, I was just impressed at my air time, considering how much my gear weighed.
When it lunged at me again, I sidestepped and flicked my sword, slicing off another thin layer of… whatever it was made out of. The wound just filled in, leaving no trace, but that wasn't the point. The second tiny wisp of blight vanished, but I knew it wasn't gone. When there was enough of it, free floating demon essence, we'd have a portal, and then I could get rid of Monty here.
Y'know, Monty? As in Python? 'Cause he's like a snake? Oh come on, that was funny.
To the untrained observer, it looked like I wasn't doing much at all. A slice here, a nick there, dodge, duck, parry. To a trained observer, it was blatantly obvious that I wasn't doing much at all. The damage I was inflicting was healing up as soon as the blade came free, and the blight I was draining out was minimal at best.
But the sun kept setting, and the wall's shadow kept advancing. I lurked at that edge, careful to never dart into the darkness for more than the length of a thrust, retreating across the carefully manicured grass one step at a time.
The Snot demon left a trail across the greenery, burned dead and brown like a snail trail from Hell. (Mrs. Effingham wasn't going to be pleased at all when she saw that.) Twice, it braved the waning sun to try to wrap me up in its slimy coils, but I was too fast and it was too wussy to handle the light. Bubbles rose to its oily surface, bursting against the air with the stench of sulfur, the sound creating a distinctive hiss of frustration. It was getting pissed off.
The sky was sunset red when my heels hit the tile border around the koi pond, and I had to grin. Sure, I had no more room to retreat, and in about ten seconds, the sun was going to drop down below the top edge of the wall, casting the entire yard in darkness and giving the demon free rein. I had Monty right where I wanted him.
In an eyeblink, the sunlight was gone, and the angry demon rose above me, swaying as it towered. The face at the end was pocked by bursting bubbles of agitation, but there was no mistaking the snarl on the mockery of a mouth.
Come get some, bitch. I took one step back, into thin air, holding my sword safely to the side as I fell back.
I hit the water hard enough to almost knock my carefully gasped air from my lungs and sank straight to the bottom. From there, I watched through the riled waters as the enraged oil serpent dove headfirst after me.
It intended to crush me, I think, the heavy mass of black sludge spreading out to fill the shape of the pond, its entire body pouring into the water. For a split second, I thought it was going to succeed, and I know I felt my ribs creak under protest. The natural human demand for "Air!" registered in my brain, certain I was about to be smothered or drowned, or both, but before I could even think of flailing in panic, the weight suddenly lifted, and the demon launched itself out of the koi pond with an inhuman shriek.
I fought to the surface despite the weight of my armor (and the padding beneath that had soaked up its own weight in water), to see the Snot demon writhing on the grass like a salted earthworm. Over and over the coils rolled, like it would tie itself in knots, and a thick oily smoke rolled off its transparent skin.
I'd be lying if I pretended I wasn't a little smug. "That's right. Holy water, bitch. Suck it." The glint of gold caught my eye, and I bent to retrieve my coin from the bottom of the pool. My fake, absolutely worthless, magically blessed coin. Thank you, my love. One of my wife's brilliant ideas. I couldn't wait to tell her it had worked.
A hand entered my vision, and I looked up to find Elliot offering to help me out of the koi pond. Probably not a bad idea, considering how much heavier I was now than when I'd gone in. "Thanks, kid."
I grabbed his forearm, intending to haul myself out, when I heard it. It was the sound of bacon sizzling, the sound of water boiling furiously. I looked over, dreading what I already knew I was going to see.
There was Monty, swelling up like the world's biggest blood blister, its surface straining to contain the rolling boil within. Even as I watched, a thin slit appeared, and the oil slick spurted from it, driven by the unbelievable internal pressure. Monty was about to blow.
"Fire in the hole!" I grabbed the kid by the front of his shirt and dragged him into the water, falling on top of him to protect him further. Problem being, there was room for one man at the bottom of the pool, but not two. Half submerged as I was, the explosion was enough to deafen me, the sound wave skipping across the top of the water to smack me upside my very thick skull.
I waited as long as I could, until bits-o-Monty stopped raining down on me, before I fought my way into standing, letting Elliot scramble for air. Drowning the client would be bad, m'kay?
He threw himself facedown at the side of the pool, gasping and coughing, while I examined the state of my demon-splattered self. Already, the boiling droplets had eaten through my leather bracers, and were currently burning into the skin beneath. With a hiss, I plunged my forearms into the water, sighing at the soothing relief. I dunked the rest of me for good measure, surfacing with a splutter and shaking myself like a wet dog.
"You okay, kid?" I glanced at Elliot who had become strangely quiet, then turned to follow his stunned line of sight.
The portal was there, hovering just against the back wall, swirling in shades of black and blacker. All over the yard, tiny gobbets of Snot demon were dissolving into their base component, blight, and drifting through the planar tear. It looked like an eerie black river running uphill, finally slowing to a trickle before the portal snapped shut with an audible pop and the reek of ozone.
Just to be sure, I stripped off my right bracer, and scrubbed the remnants of the tattoo flakes off with the blessed water. "There we are, Elliot, all nice and shiny again."
He examined his left arm, bare now too, then bent to scour it off as well. He scrubbed and scraped until the skin of his arm was blistering pink and I was afraid he'd draw blood. I caught his hand. "Hey. It's cool, okay? It's all over."
He stared at me with wide, shock-filled eyes for a long moment, then nodded. There were tears glimmering in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall, and I pretended I didn't see.
Instead, I turned to eye the destruction left in the wake of my battle. The yard was essentially burned barren, the grass withered and downright charred in places. I was still standing knee-deep in the once-pristine koi pond, which would probably never support life again. Already, the large ornamental fish were starting to float to the surface, eyes gone cloudy in death.
I managed to clamber out of the pool, flopping on the dead grass with a wet squishing sound. It was going to be days before the padding under my mail dried. Hell, it might be days before I decided to stand up again.
The arrival of my arch-nemesis, Mitzi the poodle, was heralded with a string of high pitched yips and yaps that threatened to burst my eardrums. The vicious little rat came streaking out of its doggy door, tiny needle fangs bared and aimed right for my face now that it was within its short little reach.
I waited until it was almost on me, then roared "Boo!" at it. The pink dog almost flipped itself completely over, scrambling to reverse direction, and it disappeared back inside with the high, "yi! yi! yi!" of fear. I laid my head back on the ground, folded my hands across my chest, and just watched the dim light of the stars appear overhead.
I hate poodles.

History Will Be Kind to John Boehner
The speaker was right to reopen the government without tea party votes.
In a city obsessed with ranking winners and losers ahead of evaluating policy, it's an easy story line. Speaker John Boehner, it has been nearly universally determined, has been weakened, devastated even, by his 11th-hour decision to buck the tea party caucus and allow legislation onto the floor that averted a default and fiscal disaster. The move meant that Boehner had to break – again – the so-called "Hastert Rule," which dictates (according to the previous GOP speaker) that no legislation be given a floor vote unless it has majority-of-the-majority support.
But as rough a few weeks (and couple of years, actually) that Boehner has had, history may well evaluate his behavior much more kindly. History, after all, doesn't care about who won a schoolyard fight, but rather who chose the more important goal no matter what it means to one's short-term popularity. Maintaining the integrity of the United States in dealing with its debts is far more important than appeasing a small faction of the GOP caucus, and indeed, even more important than keeping the speakership. And those worries are way overblown anyway; the tea party doesn't have a viable candidate to challenge Boehner. It has a lot of passion and bluster, but not enough establishment experience to win the ultimate establishment fight of a vote for speaker.
Politics is not just about ideology or strategy. Much of the makeup of members – especially the veteran members – is driven by the experiences they had before they came to elected office. The key information about John Boehner is that he is one of 12 children. By definition, Boehner learned at an early age that you can't always have what you want, and most of the time, you have to share.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the tea party.]
The second salient fact about Boehner's background is that he put himself through college, an endeavor that took him seven years, since he needed to work to pay for his education. The lesson there is that life is not fair; life is not always easy, and sometimes, you have to work harder than other people to achieve your goals.
Boehner brought those experiences to his handling of the recent battle over the continuing resolution and the debt ceiling. The tea party caucus is not to be ignored; after all, its victories in 2010 are part of why the GOP won the majority and in turn elected Boehner speaker. Boehner needed to let the tea partiers have a voice.
Arguably, he let the whole affair drag on much longer than he should have. While the U.S. avoided the unprecedented crisis of a default on its debt, we did have a 16-day government shutdown that took $24 billion out of the economy and disrupted the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers and millions of citizens.
But when a worst-case scenario was looming, Boehner ultimately did the right thing and allowed the CR and the increase in the debt ceiling to come up for a vote by the full House. It passed because not a single Democrat voted no. That doesn't make Boehner a traitor to his party. It makes him a servant to his country. He is, after all, the speaker of the whole House – not just the Republican caucus.
Boehner had a choice. He could let the country go into a dangerous default in the interests of appeasing a minority of the House, or he could go down in history as the speaker who put his ego aside for the greater good. That's what you learn when you're one of a dozen children. And while the daily headlines may not be flattering, the history books will be more so.

I have a question..I set a password for parental controls to keep my child from watching shows, but you can go into the menu and change the password anytime you want too..it never asks you for your old password in-order to verify you are the adult so you want to change the password..thus your child can go in and change the password and you would never know it.

I dunno, I checked my HR34 and it asks me for my current passcode when I try to change it. I think you have to have it locked first for it to ask you. I'll check my HR21 in a bit...
