Some sports are senseless, i.e. boxing or professional wrestling.
Professional wrestlers pretends to hurt each other with fake punches, kicks, elbows, chains and often fake chairs. They are often cheered by thousands in the arena at the same time millions who watch through satellite broadcasting. With full knowledge of a fake game, viewers bet on who may win out with real money and full hearted enthusiasm.
Boxers win a game by physically hurt another person, who sometimes is a player who have been training together for years or a family friend off stage. They would be cheered when they made a knockout, that is, to destabilize the opponent with one commanding strike. Many who were knocked-out would not wake to see the light of another day.
But both professional wrestling and boxing are so yesteryear. Today's youth were obviously addicted to new senseless sports: knockout and walkout.
It has been widely reported that young Americans had embraced a sports call knockout. An young man would suddenly release one calculated blow to a totally random bystander. The point was not robbery, or rape, but to knockout the person with only one strike. It requires high level personal combat skills, decisives, determination and self discipline. You can't alert the target, and it often calls multiple assistants to distract the target.
It is said this urban sports originated from St Louis, and had spread out to all metropolitan areas in the US. Many uploaded their highly professional and skillful execution of totally clueless bystanders to Internet video hosting services as brag rights. As explained in this YouTube video, old and young, male and female are playing the extremely popular game.
In the good ol' days, decorated criminals avoided victimizing weak targets, sometimes even at cost of their own safety; otherwise they could risk their reputation, something critically essential for surviving lawless jungles. However, today's youth community were too lazy, that they only adore the end result, that is the motionless body after a knockout, not how to reach it. Players of the game often chose weak targets, such as woman with children, and cheated their way with bullets instead of fists. Yet, they are still adored and cheered by their peers.
Yesterday, a 26 year old mailman Tyson Jerome Barnette was shot and killed on daily route when he was delivering mail in PG (Prince George's) County in Maryland. It has been extremely rare when a full uniformed mail carrier being gunned down on duty delivering mails on foot. This gamer was so lousy that he not only picked up a totally clueless mailman, but also he/she shot him five times.
A Washington Post article penned by Martin Weil, however, implied the fault fell on the mailman's ineffiency in delivering his shift. "It was thought that the carrier's unfamiliarity with the route might have been linked to the lateness of his deliveries," disregard that many comments promptly pointed out that other carriers had been complained about being targets by senseless sportsmen in the same area, and that they had to work at dark before and after sunlight times. There was no blame, zero, on the senseless and lousy gamer who had committed this horrific crime.
The knockout of mail carrier was not accidental. The day before yesterday, students in PG county created a national walkout day all by themselves. Students from all schools across the county participated the senseless sport called walkout at noon on Friday. It was not a protesting, nor 'starting' a dialog as often so used conveniently after such incidents. Students stated clearly, it's nothing but a game. In addition to dancing and celebrating, they also placed chairs on ceilings.
What else is coming that have we not foreseen since the liberals took stage in Washington D.C.? It seems that neither the President himself or his Secretary of Education is bothered by these new senseless sports at all.
People who have been fed up with these senseless sports demand a change. Yes, we can. The Election is only two years ahead.

State Of It – PM's Positive Spin A Matter Of Public Interest
Column – STATE OF IT by Selwyn Manning
State Of It Video – Glenn Williams & Selwyn Manning take a weekly look at politics as New Zealand enters an election campaign before the public gets to vote on November 26. This week: The Prime Minister's Positive Spin A Matter Of Public Interest.
Radio Wammo: State Of It – With Glenn Williams & Selwyn Manning
Glenn Williams hosts State Of It, a weekly look at politics with Scoop's Selwyn Manning as New Zealand enters an election campaign before the public gets to vote on November 26. This week: The Prime Minister's Positive Spin A Matter Of Public Interest.
There has been a dramatic display of inconsistencies demonstrated by the Prime Minister John Key, particularly over the last week.
So much so, that it has become a matter of public interest.
We saw a glimpse of this problem in the introduction. But it all began on Tuesday last week when Labour's finance spokesperson David Cunlffe asked the Prime Minister during Parliament's question time: Is it his policy to "muddle through" the current economic uncertainty?
The Prime Minister John Key replied: No, the Government has actively taken a number of steps to ensure New Zealand can minimise any fall-out from global economic events.
It all sounded particularly convincing especially when the Prime Minister began to enjoy himself detailing the positive outcomes that the National-led Government had supposedly achieved in recent times:
[FULL AUDIO] 7:27 to 8:33
That's enough indeed.
If we were to take the Prime Minsiter at his word, then the economy must be heading in the right direction. Certainly the Prime Minister was up-beat and positive that his Government was well on track to meet Treasury projections as presented in the 2011 May Budget, and on track to create the promised 170,000 new jobs in a few years time.
Well, that was Tuesday.
Within 24 hours in an interview with Radio LIVE the Finance Minsiter Bill English was far more cautious:
[FULL AUDIO] 1:02 to 1:47
The Finance Minister went further in an extended interview with 3News' political editor Duncan Garner, where he admitted meeting the promise to create 170,000 new jobs would be a challenge:
[FULL AUDIO] 3:31 to 4:15 For those who wished to look… clearly the Prime Minister and Finance Minister are on a different page. One of them has to be right. Is John Key being overly positive to the point where he is misleading Parliament, painting an inflated rosy picture? Or is Bill English merely being a doom merchant?
This is how Duncan Garner saw it:
[FULL AUDIO] 1:45 to 2:16
That was Thursday. Later that afternoon the Labour Party leader Phil Goff began disecting John Key's claims in Parliament that the economy was sailing along well, despite a looming double-dip recession threatening the global economy:
[FULL AUDIO] 8:44 to 9:55 If New Zealanders were confused as to who was correct when assessing the New Zealand economy, they certainly gained some clarity by Friday.
By Friday, international credit rating agencies Fitch and Standard and Poors downgraded the New Zealand credit rating from a AA+ to AA. This is how 3News reporter Patrick Gower reported it:
But after hosting an hour slot free-be on Radio LIVE, the Prime Minister had only this to say:
[FULL AUDIO] 0:47 to 1:09
And before the Prime Minsiter left for Sydney Australia to watch the NRL grand finals, the Finance Minister felt compelled to send a particularly direct message to the public seeking their help to avert a significant economic downturn:
[FULL AUDIO] 1:31 to 2:01
Despite the Prime Minister's strategy to positively spin any news irrespective of how dire it is… This past week could be described as a week from hell for the National-led Government. But as we know, a news cycle is particularly short-lived. And the Polls do not indicate that voters are noticing.
Certainly if any press gallery journalists were intent on asking the Prime Minister more questions on his take on the New Zealand economy, they were going to be disappointed.
Why you might ask?
Well, the answer is simple… Because the Prime Minister did not hold his usual post-Cabinet press conference as he decided to stay in Sydney a little longer, to enjoy a long weekend, and return to New Zealand late on Monday afternoon.
What's the state of that?
In my view, especially this close to an election, a prime minister should make himself as available as is possible to media, so that the voting public can evaluate the Government's performance and vote in a manner that displays informed choice.
To refuse to front up to media on this issue but rather attend a Rugby League game, to refuse to front up to 3News' invitations to appear on The Nation current affairs programme, to not attend Cabinet after such a week in politics, is an abuse of his responsibilities and is a matter of public interest.
And Glenn, thats the State Of It for this week.
State Of It broadcasts on KiwiFM and Radio Wammo at 7:40am on Tuesdays. Video on demand episodes also webcast on Scoop.co.nz.

This caprese lentil salad recipe is a satisfying, protein-packed twist on the beloved classic. Perfect as a side, appetizer, or a simple lunch!
This seems like the week for salads at my house. First, this gorgeous pomegranate tomato salad, which I highly recommend! And today, a caprese lentil salad recipe.
I promise, I do feed my children other things. I may just be going through a bit of a Spring fever these days. Thankfully, they don't mind.
I do love a simple stacked caprese: sliced ripe tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. But when I need something a little more hearty that can even stand on its own as lunch, it's this caprese lentil salad recipe.
Tender, creamy black lentils make the perfect bed for bite-sized cherry tomatoes and baby mozzarella balls. Salt and pepper for seasoning, and nothing but a classic balsamic reduction and quality extra virgin olive oil for a dressing.
A little shameless plug here. Our Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil is the perfect option for this salad. From organically grown and processed koroneiki olives, this top quality EVOO has a fruity aroma with hints of fresh green herbs, a mild bitterness, and a peppery finish. Just the right enhancement for this lentil salad recipe. Check it out here.
Caprese Lentil Salad Recipe
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 to 6 servings
A simple, hearty and satisfying twist on caprese salad. Creamy brown lentils make a great bed for bite-sized cherry tomatoes and baby mozzarella balls. Add a generous handful of basil. And nothing but quality olive oil and balsamic reduction for the dressing!
- 2 cups quality balsamic vinegar
- 3 cups cooked black lentils (from 1 cup dry lentils)
- Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 oz cherry or grape tomatoes
- 6 oz fresh baby Mozzarella cheese (small Mozzarella balls), non-fat or part-skim if possible
- Fresh basil leaves, torn (as many as you like)
- In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook for 10 to 20 minutes until balsamic is reduced to a thicker sauce. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Place the cooked lentils in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (about 1 tbsp to start, add more as you like). Add 2 tbsp balsamic reduction, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning or add olive oil and balsamic reduction to your liking.
- Transfer the lentils to a serving platter. Arrange tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves on top. Drizzle olive oil and more balsamic reduction on top. A sprinkle more salt and pepper to your taste. Enjoy!
- This recipe will serve 6 as an appetizer or side, and fewer if you serve it as the main course.
- If you have more balsamic reduction left, simply store it in the fridge in a tightly closed mason jar.
- To cook black lentils from dry, simply add 1 cup of lentils with 4 cups of hot water in a saucepan. Simmer gently with lid tilted until tender (about 20 minutes or so). Drain.
- Recommended for this recipe: Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil (from organically grown and processed Koroneiki olives).

Such a clever recipe! I love the idea of jazzing up lentils like this.
Yum! This salad looks so flavorful and nourishing too! I can't wait for fresh summer garden tomatoes to make this with!
What a great way to add a punch of protein to caprese, AND make it a meal at the same time. So clever!
Oh this is a good one. I love lentils and I love a good caprese salad. The two together has to be delicious. It looks amazing!
I always love finding new ways to use lentils, especially when it's so flavourful and healthy!

First of all, we have to give it up for Gabe and Kelly for letting me attempt to write a bunch of far more political than I'd originally planned stuff at you guys today!
Give it up for Gabe! Thanks Gabe!
Give it up for Kelly! Thanks Kelly!
And then like seriously, give it up for Kelly for literally fixing every single post I tried to do on this thing today.
Usually, you can find me over at Yo, Is This Racist? and Yo, Should I Dump This Asshole?, where I can impart to you homies these two pieces of rock solid and eternal advice:
1) Yes, it's probably racist.
2) Yes, you definitely should dump that asshole.
And now, just so you have something to chuckle over as you sashay merrily into the weekend, here's a classic clip of Pat Robertson not having ever heard of macaroni and cheese before.
How Racist Is This?

- Kelly: 0%

There has been a resurgence in Neo-Westerns. The Coens were the catalyst with No Country for Old Men, we had the amazing Hell or High Water last year, which managed to get an Oscar nomination as well. And like Chico from The Magnificent Seven, Logan is an unlikely addition to this line-up. Its simple character-driven storyline with stakes, which do not require city-wide destruction, make it a must watch. Quite simply put – it is the best solo Wolverine movie and is unarguably among Fox's Top 3 X-Movies.
Hugh Jackman returns as Logan, and goes by James Howlett, his actual name. Drives a limousine and is saving enough get a boat and sail out to the sea with his old friend, Charles Xavier, who is now a senile, paraplegic, spouting anything he picks up telepathically and whose seizures result in paralysis if anyone is in his vicinity, which is the reason he's classified as a WMD by the Homeland Security. He's taken care by Caliban, played by the always impressive, Stephen Merchant who describes himself as a 'glorified truffle sniffer'.
Logan finds himself in custody of an escaped mutant whom he's tasked to deliver to a certain location. He's joined on this road-trip by Xavier and I'm glad it's a movie that doesn't have the fate of the world hanging in the balance in its third act and is a much smaller, delicate affair. This allows the characters to shine in those quiet moments, in between some gloriously gory sequences.
Logan is the way we always wanted to see Wolverine, uninhibited by censorship in terms of language or violence and the R Rated approach makes sure we get that. This movie wouldn't be as effective if it at been hindered with a PG-13 rating. The blood and the gore allows the character development, which I think wouldn't have been possible otherwise, since they would have to cater to younger audiences hence there's no requirement for unnecessary action set pieces, to accommodate their short attention span, which would compromise some crucial scenes.
Sir Patrick Stewart's banter with Hugh Jackman is a joy to watch. Dafne Keen as Laura/X23 will definitely be the Internet's new obsession. She's quite reminiscent of Eleven from Stranger Things, just with a lot more hands on approach when it comes to dismembering and beheading thugs. Boyd Holbrook plays Pierce, whom you might remember from Narcos, as the man who is in pursuit of X23, he's a one dimensional bad-guy role but I'd be damned if I didn't say he plays it really well. There's a twist in the middle which might be the polarizing point for most of the viewers, but I'm glad it wasn't overused and it didn't change the narrative of the entire movie.
This is one of the most depressing portrayal of superheroes that I have seen on the large screen. I'm not entirely sure where this will fall in the overall timeline that has been established by Fox Studios. Hopefully, X23 is featured in future X Men movies, she is too good of an actress and a character to waste in a singular movie. I'm glad both Hugh Jackman and Charles Xavier chose this to be their final appearance in the X-Universe. For a swansong, it doesn't get better.

Make It Monday #89 - Creating Windows for Floating Images
I think this is one of those techniques that is looks a lot harder than it actually is, leaving friends & family pretty impressed with your skills.
I used the PTI Tag Sale #4 die to create an ornament shaped cut in the white cardstock and a Spellbinders Nestabilities die to cut a circle in the red cardstock card base.
The clear transparancy piece is sandwiched between the two cardstock pieces, and then the Martha Stewart punched snowflakes are centered in the middle of the clear circle. A gemstone adds a touch of sparkle to the front of the card - it was hard, but I resisted adding anything more, really wanting to keep it CAS.
I inked a sentiment from PTI's Happiest of Holidays with Color Box Cranberry and stamped the center of a white cardstock panel. A few small red snowflakes with gem centers finish the inside of the card.
It was hard to get a photo of showing both sides of the card from the inside - somehow I have a lot of reflection going on here.
Like so many others participating in MIM this week, I used the extra pieces to create a couple of tags. I have two, because I initially had my colors reversed, but decided to go with the red card base. The tag sentiment is from the PTI Santa Stationery stamp set.
Please don't ask me why I didn't make the card in a more snow traditional palette of blue and white - I have no idea LOL.
Have a safe & happy Halloween for those able to go out tonight. Thankfully, our family & friends on the East Coast have survived Sandy reasonably well, but my heart goes out to those facing the long, difficult road of rebuilding their communities.
Thanks for stopping by,

You really rocked the MIM challenge Jacquie and those tags are wonderful. I'm having little bell envy!!ReplyDelete

I love the red and white!!! For the card, I can see embossing the white part with my snowflake embossing folder....ooohhh now I need to play..... Those little tags are FANTASTIC!ReplyDelete
Great idea to use the insides for tags! (where did I put those centers?) your card and sentiment is just perfect, Jacquie, really a winning card.ReplyDelete

Diphenhydramine HCl, commonly known as Benadryl, is an antihistamine used to treat sneezing, runny nose and red, irritated, itchy or watery eyes caused by hay fever, allergies or the common cold. It is sometimes used to relieve cough, prevent or treat motion sickness and treat insomnia, states MedlinePlus. Patients who experience movement problems as a result of medications or early-stage parkinsonian syndrome may take diphenhydramine to control abnormal movements.
Diphenhydramine can cause side effects, including drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation, headache, muscle weakness, nervousness, increased chest congestion and dry mouth, nose and throat. MedlinePlus states that excitement is a side effect that is often experienced by children. It is best to report these side effects to a doctor if they are severe or unrelieved. Prompt medical attention is recommended for serious side effects, which include vision problems and difficult or painful urination.

Yes, I know that there's a lot of talk out there about how the Kindle Fire is an iPad killer or that it will at least drastically cut into the sales of the iPad. Suchspeculation is basically hooey. So you can laugh dismissively when you read articles. After all you know better. The Kindle Fire and iPad 2 are two different tablets designed for two different markets and will have little impact on each other.
But the world of 7-inch tablets is a different story. The Kindle Fire is built on a 7-inch platform that's relatively free of most of the typical high-end tablet features. It only has 8GB of memory, there's no Bluetooth, no camera, no 3G, but also no high price.
At $199 the Kindle Fire is designed to be a low-priced 7-inch tablet designed for people who have fairly simple requirements, such as Web browsing, listening to music and reading. Part of the reason it's so cheap (other than the fact that it's subsidized by Amazon) is that it doesn't have a lot of features.
But for many readers, it doesn't need a lot of features. It's got exactly what a lot of users want, mainly a low price and ease of use.

But there are still plenty of users out there who want more. They need Bluetooth, they want 3G, and they want Android 3.2 ("Honeycomb"). This is what Samsung is offering in itsnew Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet. The new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is basically a power users' wish list. It'll handle 802.11n bonded channels, so that you can easily exceed the bandwidth of any known Internet connection. The Tab 7.0 will feature HSPA+ so that AT&T can offer it at a subsidized price. If features a full HD screen. I could go on, but you can see foryourself on the Samsung site.
Samsung is launching the device in Indonesia and Austria first, but the U.S. is high on the list. The Tab 7.0 Plus should be here in time for the holidays. But how will it fare in the face of competition from the Amazon Fire? Probably very well. There are several reasons why.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 is already inexpensive. You can buy one over the Internet from Amazon and other stores for around $300. Considering the added features such as the cameras, the Android 3.2, the 11n speed and the 3G connectivity, Samsung should be able to make a case for the extra cost if it's able to maintain the $300 street price.
Equally important, the Kindle Fire will have firmly established the 7-inch tablet in buyers' minds. Plus with a basic tablet and e-reader selling for $200, it's unlikely to be much of a stretch to spend an extra hundred on some nice add-on features. Plus, you can get the Kindle client for Android already, so you won't be giving up the e-reader capabilities.
Of course, that's assuming that Samsung can hold the lid on prices. If the Galaxy 7.0 Plus is launched competing with the iPad in terms of price, then it's going to get the typical lackluster reception we have come to expect for other expensive tablets that don't carry an Apple logo.
Considering that Amazon has already sold more than 100,000 preordered Kindle Fires, it's clear that the market is ready for an inexpensive tablet of some sort. It's also clear that Samsung can make a tablet that's reasonably priced. The question is, will it?
If Samsung can release the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus at street prices in the $250 to $350 range, they'll probably sell like iced watermelon in August. More than that, and the sales levels will drop steeply. But I don't think that will happen. Samsung has a pretty good track record of figuring out how low it needs to sell a device to make money, and chances are good that it'll do that with the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus as well.
Samsung, and by extension the other makers of 7-inch tablets, has choices to make. Amazon has clearly staked out the price point for a low-to-midrange 7-inch tablet. There is room for tablets on the high end, which could include Samsung. But where does the high end become too high? Probably when it starts bumping into the pricing of the iPad. I suspect that many people would object to paying $450 for a 7-inch tablet, no matter how good, if for 50 extra bucks they can buy an iPad.
If Apple does what I think it might do and continue to sell the iPad 2 at a lower price once the iPad 3 is introduced, then the pressure on the 7-inch tablet market really increases. Basically, there would be a $100 range between the bottom and top of the market before you start getting into the iPad territory.
So Samsung has an option of trying to price for the high end and maybe doing OK in terms of sales, or pricing the new Galaxy 7.0 Plus aggressively so that it's not much more expensive than the Fire and really taking a huge bite out of the 7-inch tablet market share. In the process, Samsung could go a long way in helping Amazon define the 7-inch tablet as a preferred platform and opening up the market even more than Amazon already is.

About Austin
I became interested in fitness while actively involved in the varsity wrestling program at my high school. My passion for weight training and nutrition came about because of training for athletics. Beyond high school this was focused into the world of physique and performance enhancement. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and helping them achieve their goals while learning from them along the way.
I have worked with hundreds of competitors and non-competitors of all ages as well as with athletes outside of the physique arena. I strive to treat each athlete as my number one priority and work closely with them to provide an approach that is not only methodical but practical.
My goal with each client is to maximize each and every area of their programming through the use of science, anecdotal evidence, and practical experience. Control of lifestyle factors such as stress management that can aid in overall results and quality of life are also important. The body and the mind are strongly interconnected and ensuring each body system works in unison is vital to success and long term sustainability.
Please contact me to discuss your individual needs.
I provide a comprehensive array of services to cater to all physique enhancement, athletic and general health and fitness needs. My services typically consist of regular check-ins and feedback from me and constant adaptions of the plan to meet ones goals. I do my best to provide all clients with a timely response and adequate feedback/explanation of each change made to their programming. Your goals are my number 1 priority while still keeping health in the forefront.
Not knowing Austin beforehand I took a chance by hiring him as my nutrition coach for my third Figure prep. It was the BEST decision I made to work with him.
His high level of knowledge, and capabilities to connect with his clients shows his respect, morals, and values for each individual.
He didn't just throw some generic programming at me….he got to know me, helped me learn, gave me resources, etc.
What Austin has done for me has put him at the top of the list of the best coaches in the game right now.

text: ROOSEVELT PARK, Mich. -- Go ahead, look all you want. He might stand out a bit, but Louis Schaub said driving his electric golf cart through town is worth every penny he isn't spending on gas. "It's a head turner. Everyone looks," Schaub said of the street-legal golf cart he uses to buzz around town at 25 mph. "I just continue on. I know they're looking." The 21-year-old Roosevelt Park man purchased the used golf cart for about $1,500 in 2007 and spent three months meeting state requirements to make it safe for the road. "It was about the gas prices, and I figured, if I was going to get one, I wanted to be able to drive it. I didn't just want it stuck in the garage," Schaub said. The cost to purchase the necessary vehicle parts via the Internet and the fees associated with registering the golf cart cost Schaub an additional $800. But Schaub -- who drives an F-150 pickup truck to Grand Haven, Mich., for work each day -- said he felt the alternative set of wheels was worth it. For his weekday commute to Grand Haven, Schaub said he budgets about $50 a week for gas and never fills the tank completely. However, Schaub said his modest budget might not cut it for long. "It's about $10 a day. But I'm probably going to have to change that with gas going up," he said. To get his golf cart on the road, Schaub -- an electronics technician student at Muskegon Community College -- said he had to jump through a few hoops. While researching the process, Schaub said he was warned by state officials his goal might never be achieved. "It was a project. I was at the secretary of state's office (in Muskegon), and they said it couldn't be done. But I had looked it up on the Internet and found the (state) forms," Schaub said. So, rather than try to convince local secretary of state officials it could be done, Schaub e-mailed a woman from the secretary of state office in Lansing and checked with a local police officer. When Schaub received the necessary approvals, he began the golf cart renovation "project." "I looked up the law on the Michigan Web site ... and started my project. I pretty much did all of the work with friends," Schaub said. "It was kind of a slow project. I probably could have done it in about a month, but it took me about three months with my work schedule and schooling." Fortunately, Schaub found that the finished product requires little maintenance. To juice it up, the golf cart is plugged into an electrical outlet and charges for about four hours in order to be driven several miles. The electric costs are minimal, Schaub said, usually amounting to a few dollars each month. The farthest Schaub has driven the golf cart is to the Lakes Mall area in Fruitport Township -- about 17 miles round trip -- using residential roads. Schaub said he uses the golf cart primarily to run errands around town. But on more than one occasion, he's had some explaining to do. Schaub admits it's taken local law enforcement officials a little getting used to: He's been pulled over by Roosevelt Park police officers twice since he's driven it, most recently in May. "One officer asked, 'Are you serious?' I said, 'I have the paperwork. It's all right.' He looked baffled and said, 'OK,' " Schaub said. "The second officer asked me, 'Do you know how many double-takes you got?'" From others driving by, Schaub said he generally gets a thumbs up. Schaub, who also has installed a stereo system in the golf cart, said he's proud to be one of few people who actually did something about his gas gripes. "I just like that it's unique," Schaub said of his golf cart. "I've only seen mine around town. I'm the original, and that's kind of nice to know."

Yesterday, the President initiated a kerfuffle in conducting an extended beating of the White House Press Corps / news conference. Many were horrified, with others just as delighted in the result. I choose not to engage in political cheerleading here, as Vae Obscurum is a place for ideas, and secondarily for promotion of where you can find more of mine. But as is evident today, many fail to understand what Donald Trump accomplished in those couple of hours, and related implications going forward. Let's try.
The credo is: Always Cheat. Always Win.
Among the naturalistic rules regulating conflict, this is one of the more important. When winning is the objective, the means to the desired end are secondary. A fight is not a philosophy. The latter justifies in the mind action before it arises, and, as my characters often discover, either provides the strength carrying one through to a successful resolution or weights the crush of karma comprising a spectacular demise.
So why would anyone play by someone else's rules? Often, it's because another someone, who got there first, wishes it so. Bruce Lee once opined life to be combat, and at times he is correct. Given the essential choice between the pursuit of lame advantage and excellence, the laws of standard deviation decree a population will always split down the middle between these two camps.
There are a variety of interests to be encountered throughout the world. Self-interest is one. Ideology is another. Humanitarianism is a choice as well. One orients depending on the quality of character engaged in setting one's priorities, choosing—as Jon Anthony proclaimed in The Anvil of the Craftsman—between love, hate, and indifference.
But once established, a solid set of values and tested beliefs need to be put into action to do anyone any good. And that's where upright people need to be strong enough to win against the immature, idiotic, barbaric, tyrannical, and reprobative mindsets who comprise the usual suspects of their opposition.
Balance points are a subject of study in the martial arts. Centered, one stands. Taken outside the means of support, one is sometimes airborne and almost always vulnerable immediately after. It is the same everywhere conflict arises. Whether in debate, in governance, in sports, or in the pages of a novel, the same principles of stance and support apply.
Strength arises from testing the foundations of what we believe. Truth is rewarded by success, and delusion by disaster, and each outcome is inevitable subject to the long proof of time in revealing their obvious consequences.
There exist constructs—heavily defended—in society today with the sole objective of securing lame advantage. Discussions are steered and chilled by those unable to rationally defend their premise. Through rally words, social pressures, and even legislation, the effect is to produce a safe zone for indefensible thinking. Standing rules, in effect, are all they have, and once the Oz curtain drops around a pseudo-intellectual alcove, we can see the person behind it is little indeed.
So the President, a businessman rather than a politician, decided to set the rules instead. When Donald Trump showed up packing a rhetorical sledgehammer, people accustomed to previously existing parameters of the bout couldn't handle what happened next. They were, in effect, disrupted. Antagonists were excoriated, fairness was rewarded, and lessons were learned throughout.
Deconstruction, the ultimate disrupter of a faulted premise and any equally illegitimate extensions, need to become a way of life for free people. The only rehabilitative action available to deal with untruth is rejection and reconstruction. Put off through compromise and "agreeing to disagree," the initial dysfunction remains instead of resolves, and society continues to suffer as a result.
We are encountering disruption in America via the political process and in the presidency. That this is causing a good deal of anxiety in weak minds is, in the long term, a good thing. Reset in society may come about in two ways. One is reform, where a preponderance of adult thinking imposes order on chaos. The other is the much more painful and brutal correction of natural law, which decrees systemic collapse as the penalty for delusion before everyone begins again, regardless of affiliation.

There are certain lessons one learns experiencing thirty years of marriage, and patience is one of them.

It's definitely time for another update so here's Week 32 – August 3rd – 9th. It was a busy week with lots happening with the new art studio.
On Monday Krystal came around with her laptop so that I could help her with her Professional Portfolio. It was really nice to be able to spend some time with her and we did quite a few things that day including baking some delicious new cookies… chocolate chippie with a touch of salt! It's basically just making a traditional chocolate chippie cookie and then grinding some salt on just before you put them in the oven. I loved the salty-sweet thing although Mike wasn't quite so fussed on them.
Krystal and I also went to the paint shop to pick up some sample colours for the art studio. I'm thinking about making the whole room very neutral so that my artwork stands out… soft greys seem to be top of the list right now.
Mike was really thankful for the art studio this week too because he ended up with a snapped fan belt coming home from work the other night and he just put the front of the car into the art studio and used all the lights so that he could see what he was doing. It worked a treat because within about 10 minutes he had the new fan belt on and the car was running fine!
Here's a close up of the start of the week:
Mike and I don't watch a huge amount of TV but we have a few shows that we really like… including My Kitchen Rules. Mike has been cheering for Steve and Will right from the start so he was super happy when they won the final!
While the final of MKR was on the Big Wednesday draw was also on and this week we got to have a small share of the winnings… but as the saying goes every little bit counts!
I've also been working on a big project and had come to a major stumbling block involving the album so I had to do a bit of a re-think and now I'm going for a more Project-Life style album and I fell for this mint colour in a big way. I think it's going to be perfect for what I have in mind.
This week we also found the perfect doors for the art studio. Mike knew that he wanted to replace the roller door with glass doors and he was originally thinking about a ranch slider but it wasn't really what I wanted and they also turned out to be really expensive. We saw a couple of second hand ones but they just didn't seem right either. Then we came across some French doors that I liked straight away and they were also the perfect size so now I've got French doors in my art studio!
Here's a closer look at the rest of the week:
Mike spent several nights/days thinking about how he was going to put the doors in and by the time it came to actually install them he had it all worked out. He even let me help… even though it was only priming some of the wood for around the door. It turned into a bit of a family affair because Toby 'helped' Mike to roll up the old garage door after it had been removed.
Mike didn't want to just have a plain front wall though so now he's added some 'detailing' so that it will look a bit more interesting.
While all this was going on Mike brought ALL the boxes from the garage upstairs and I went through them all. Most of these boxes had been sealed shut from when the packers came before I moved to Gisborne so after 18 months in storage it was a bit of a treasure trove to see what was inside each box. Each box was labelled… but when there are approximately 20 huge boxes labelled 'Art and Craft misc.' you really have no idea what's inside!
We ended up with several boxes of junk and several more of newsprint paper from all the wrappings and it felt quite good to get rid of some of the clutter! A couple of weeks on and the 'good stuff' is still in the lounge because there's nowhere else to put it for now!
After doing all the unpacking I got busy with another new recipe. This time it was for peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies and Mike LOVES them!!! They're his new favourite and I've made the recipe several times now.
On Sunday morning we decided to go out for breakfast which is something we haven't done for a long time. We headed up to Third Place and had a lovely breakfast together… and then real life set in and we did the groceries, the recycling and all sorts of other jobs!
This weekend I also found the perfect clock for my art studio. I spotted it in a local paint shop and as soon as I saw it I knew that it would be fabulous. Here's a closer look:
You can't tell from the photo but this is actually a good sized clock. It stands 12 inches high and the clock face is 8 inches wide. I really like the soft green colouring and the distress look of it… very Tim Holtz style! Now we've just got to finish the art studio so that it has a home to go into.
So that was our week… I hope you're all having a good week too xxx

Hanging Loose Press
The editors are proud of having published many first books, including the first full collections by Sherman Alexie, Kimiko Hahn, D. Nurkse, Jack Agüeros, Elinor Nauen, Joanna Fuhrman, Maggie Nelson, Indran Amirthanayagam, and Beth Bosworth, among others.Some of the other writers published by HL are Wilma Elizabeth McDaniel, Frances Phillips, Harvey Shapiro, Jayne Cortez, Ron Overton, Helen Adam, Paul Violi, Charles North, Ha Jin, Morton Marcus, Maureen Owen, Donna Brook, Yukihide Hartman, Jack Anderson and Ed Friedman.
Best selling poetry book of 2009. Alexie's latest collection is at times brash and confrontational. But it is equally tender, lyrical, funny and poignant. Alexie's poems are accessible, told in a conversational style that draws the reader in and makes them think and feel. He never fails to move you. In "Face" he inspires, makes wonderful meditations on adulthood and parenting, and leaves us wanting more.
Sherman's second book of poems, one that at times has him blending short stories with poetry to create a remarkable hybrid. He never fails to challenge, surprise, provide insight and generate beauty. No wonder he won the National Book Award.
Here, all of the hallmarks of Alexie's style are on full display: a firework show of talent, thought and feeling. He tackles everything from being a Native American writer to baseball in a collection of poems that will amaze with each new reading.
Fabri's debut collection is a raw, funny, poignant and unique. She can be frank and subtle in the same poem, always emerging from her stylized and passionate voice. Fabri is a special voice in modern poetry and if this debut is any indicator, she has many great things ahead of her.
Hanging Loose Press discovered Sherman Alexie and it is still the press where he exclusively publishes his poetry. Summer is Sherman's third book of poems, one that finds the vigor and transcendence of his earlier work achieving a greater depth and power. Amazing when you consider that his first poetry book had him hailed as "one of the major lyric voices of our time."
Sherman Alexie's first book, the book that introduced him to the world. It is here that he was called "one of the major lyric voices of our time." What he achieves in his first book, most poets hope to accomplish in a career. A powerful, moving, risk-taking collection that will leave its mark on you.
Most know Ha Jin as the National Book Award winner writer of Waiting, though not many are aware of his poetry. Everything that makes Ha Jin's novels so powerful, so affecting, is here in his poems. But, due to the condensed nature of a poem, his style explodes here. Gorgeously told, unflinching work, guaranteed to expand your heart and mind. Fans of his fiction won't want to miss this. Newcomers to his work will be hooked.
The owner/publisher of Hanging Loose Press wrote to us, "When life is driving me crazy, I always think, Ah well, I get to publish Paul Violi. Among other things, he's very funny." That was recommendation enough for us. What's more, Violi's prose is stunning: sharp, insightful, near perfect. He died much too early and American letters is the worse for it.
This is Ha Jin's first collection of poetry, the book that made his name. Here all the hallmarks of his National Book Award winning style are present. His political concerns, his humanism, his lyrical cadences. A stunning book of poetry and a must read for all modern literature fans.
What a writer. Here is everything great about jazz, the blues, innovative imagery and movement. Cortez' poems are visceral, technically advanced yet accessible. Deeply concerned with the relations between people and of people's relation to power. Forward thinking, dynamic, her work is everything we want out of poetry. And more.
Situated on the main street of the historic Delaware Riverfront town of New Hope, Pennsylvania, Farley's Bookshop and its knowledgeable, experienced staff have endeavored to satisfy the literary tastes of the area inhabitants for over fifty years. Whether you are Bucks County born-and-bred or just stopping by to enjoy the crisp river air and delightful scenery, you will be pleasantly surprised to find the largest and most diverse collection of books-in-print in Bucks County. Farley's may have competition, but it has few peers.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"What should I do about the blister under my tongue?"
It hurts to speak?
A blister is a painful problem on any body part, but the tongue would an especially uncomfortable location. Before discussing what to do about the blister, it is important to discuss where it came from and how long you have had it. If this is something that has been present for a long time, or if you are not sure about where the blister came from, then you should see a doctor to make sure that it is not something more serious. While it would be unlikely for most patients, some malignancies can present in this way, especially if you have a family history of cancer, smoke tobacco, or drink alcohol. If the blister has just been there for a short time, then it could possibly be a canker sore, which is very common. These are painful, but generally resolve quickly. There are multiple treatment options available, some of them over the counter. Simple local anesthetics can be applied with good results as well. Please speak to your doctor to make sure that you treat the blister appropriately and do not simply cover the symptoms with local pain killers, however.

The story so far….
Dated: 12th March 1998
Man and His Life: Short and miserable is man's life: on him and all his anger… slow but surely doomed… Blind to both good and evil, reckless of destruction, his life rolls relentlessly, for condemned today to lose his dearest, tomorrow he shall pass through the gate of hell himself. Yet he cherishes his victories: his lofty thoughts that ennoble his little day; disdaining the cowardly terrors for he but the slave of fate himself – worshipping at the shrine that his own selfish mind created – undismayed by the empire of charms, to preserve a mind free from the wanton tyranny, that rules his outward life. Proudly defiant he resists the forces for a moment, and condemns others who submit to it… in darkness submitting himself to the same and yet cries loudly for he is the man and thus proclaims to sustain alone a weary but unyielding Atlas, the world that his own ideas created.
Dated: 19th September 2001
This we know: the universe does not belong to man, man belongs to the universe. All things are connected like the colour of blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Dated: 12th December 1998
The Meaning of Life – People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning of life. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive….
Dated: 9th February 1999
Stories Names Tell: There are as many names in this world, as there are many words, in as many languages we humans speak. And the first words that evolved must have been names. Not words describing things, or motions, or adding meanings but simple names – words that represented something – a man at the next cave, or the fierce animal in the forest or still some strange phenomena. Names of strange natural phenomena, objects or creatures that the then humans could not comprehend. Thus, through fear and awe creating Gods and in the process creating the first words…the names of these Gods. And then the next words, names still, must have been the 'names' they gave to each other for the purpose of communication. The real usage of language being as an instrument of communication, the primitive languages must have actually first consisted of only names or nouns and the humans must have communicated through a rather complex mixture of limited vocabulary consisting of nouns and physical gestures. However, as social theories cannot be universally generalized, I for one believe that scholars all over the world will accept my opinion as to what has been stated above as a generalized postulate.

Hostel Detroit to bring new energy and travelers to the city
Emily Doerr, originally from a one-traffic light town near Flint, is the force and passion behind the new Hostel Detroit, which opens this Friday in North Corktown. Doerr and I sat down last week in the hostel for a chat amidst the chaos of the last few days of renovation.
The idea for the hostel was sparked while Doerr was hosting travelers staying on her couch.
It started with couch surfing. I hosted 100 people over the course of 2009 and 2010 through CouchSurfing.org and a lot of them asked me, 'why isn't there a hostel in Detroit? There needs to be one.' Foolishly, foolhardy, and very recklessly I said, 'I can do that.' I first started serioulsy talking about it last May.
Originally she thought of doing a pilot program out of her own townhouse with 8 beds. However her friends told her, "Emily, go big! Do it for real. The community will support you."
And the community has supported her! All of the furniture has been donated, teams of volunteers have worked at the hostel renovating and painting, and everything has been paid for by monetary donations. "The community made this happen," said Doerr.
On Detroit
"I think it'll be a really cool access point for visitors. Detroit isn't user friendly. There aren't any maps, there isn't a useable map for the bus system or really good signs," states Doerr.
She continues, "It'll be cool for people to know that they can come, they can have a place to stay that's clean, safe, affordable, and that's not going to break the bank, but also can be this access point to all this other stuff in the city. When you travel you don't need to print a map of the city, you just need to get to the hostel and they'll take care of you"
Doerr also says of Detroit, "People say that it's a city of hidden gems and that it's an insider city. It's time for us to be a little more accessible."
"A city is a place where all these people can come together and collide and mix," she says with that passion I spoke of earlier.
On North Corktown
Doerr isn't trying to "save" the neighborhood, "The city at large has all this cool stuff, even North Corktown is already really cool. The hostel isn't making it cool. Nancy Whiskey, Brother Nature Produce, Rachel's Vintage, Pink Flamingo, urban farms," all those places are already in the neighborhood. "We just want to show off the assets," adds Doerr.
But how will Hostel Detroit be different from other hostels around the country? "Just by existing," exclaims Doerr, "There aren't any hostels in other rust belt cities except for Chicago; Pittsburg and Milwaukee have been trying but they don't have one yet."
Doerr explained that currently hostels only exist where there is demand, tourist destinations that attract the masses. But people are coming to Detroit and she's hoping that the hostel will bring more people. She says, "It'll be more proactive than other hostels. Other hostels are reacting to market demand whereas we're reacting on gut instinct, hoping to help influence market demand."
One of the other things that will make Hostel Detroit different from other hostels is their ambassador program. The ambassadors will be organic tour guides, which is reminiscent of her couch surfing roots.
Doerr found that hosting the couch surfers benefitted her as much as she benefitted them, "they had a place to stay and they knew where to go, I took them around. It benefitted me because every time that I took them around the city I fell back in love with it. I got as much positive energy from them and their stay as they did with me."
The hostel opens this Friday and is booked for the whole weekend except for one double bed on Friday night. Travelers from England, Australia, and Toronto have already made reservations and one of the upstairs apartments is booked for a month by documentary filmmakers from the Netherlands.
Finally, Doerr adds "I feel like the hostel will be new energy for the city, bringing new people in all the time." And I have to agree with her.
But I had to ask the girl from Goodrich, outside of Flint, one last burning question. Does she prefer Flint's famed Angelo's Coney Island from near her hometown or as has her allegiance switched to a real Detroit coney? "I'm a Lafayette person now," she admits, "but I don't like mustard so I'll never be a true coney lover. I've been told if you adjust the coney at all it invalidates you."
Mustard or no mustard, Doerr is a true Detroiter.

The objective of the NPS is to promote old age income security to all sections of the society. Union Bank will act as a point of presence-service provider (POP-SP) of this scheme. The branches will be able to facilitate opening of NPS account, receiving contribution from time to time and switching of investment option.
"Only 4,000 of the 50,000 bank branches in the country are selling NPS, as many banks are reluctant to distribute the product. They account for just eight per cent of the branches," said Yogesh Agarwal, chairman of Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), which manages pension fund under NPS, on Saturday.
Envisaging that investors in insurance and mutual fund products for securing the post-retirement would eventually shift to NPS, Agarwal added, "The fund has been giving about 30 per cent more return than the existing insurance and mutual fund schemes. NPS is giving return of 12-14 per cent."
The contributory NPS was launched by the Centre for its employees in January 2004, instead of the government assuring pension for its employees. In May 2009, it was extended to other people in the age bracket of 18-55 years. However, investor has to choose the investment options available, which is a difficult task even for seasoned investors.
"Though both public and private sector banks can participate in the scheme, many banks are not coming forward," PFRDA chief said. "Due to poor distribution and very low commission, NPS did not make much inroads into nongovernment pension segment," he added.
NPS has around 20 lakh members, including around 6 lakh corporate accounts, 12 lakh Central government employees and six lakh of state government ones. Still, it has a small corpus small at around Rs 9,000 crore.
About 27 out of 30 states have joined the scheme. "States of West Bengal, Tripura and Kerala have not joined the scheme citing ideological differences," Agarwal said. As a part of financial inclusion programme, the Centre also launched a rural pension scheme – NPS Swavalamban in September 2010, with a 1,000 annual contribution from the Centre.

Following the many news stories on TV and in the Tabloids, I just had a startling thought. What If:
The Many Mistresses of the Golfing Great got together and formed a realty show just sitting around in a scrumptious mansion such as the Playboy mansion.
Talking girl talk, talking Tiger Talk, would this make for interesting viewing? Each mistress would tell her own story to each of the other mistresses and they would compare notes as to how their relationship developed and what they felt were the best attributes of their time with Tiger.
Wow, I mean Wow, this would put the "Girls Next Door" show in the minor league. Sponsors would be clamoring for the rights to the show.
I am registering the name "The Many Mistresses" and want to be paid royalties should anyone come up with a realty show or a "Many Mistresses Mini Series".
Gloria Allred would be of course included to protect the rights of the Many Mistresses involved in the production.
A requirement would be, who ever proclaims to be a mistress must provide legal documentation of the affair or they would not be included in the production. Blue dress stains, not acceptable. Text messages, telephone messages, home movies, signed notes, personal gifts etc. will help you get the part.
No limitations on how long the affair lasted, from one night to weeks, months or years, in order to be included in the production of the show.
Dates for casting calls will be advertised. Be prepared with notarized documents on your first interview.

After hearing about the loss of my friend Martin Senat — one of the founders of the Preservation Society of Huntington Dog Beach — last week, I found this piece I'd written for a local blog years ago:
"I used to roll my eyes a bit when we'd drive past Dog Beach. 'Do dogs need that much beach?' 'Isn't it a bit excessive?' 'Is it clean?'
Then we adopted a dog. One visit, and I was hooked.
Sure, it's good for the dogs, who get a blissful sensory overload of sand, salty water and other dogs. But I think Dog Beach might be even better for the people who bring the dogs. This tucked-away stretch of sand seems to function as its own little utopia. People seem relaxed, civil and even thoughtful as they watch their hounds bound in the surf."

Firefighters and the community came together Saturday in a big show of support for an Orangevale mom fighting cancer.
Ten-year-old Mason Anderson organized a "Brave the Shave" drive in honor of his mother, Lacey Anderson, who's battling breast cancer.
"I thought that it didn't need to be turned into a tragedy," Mason told Fox 40. "It could be fun and positive and have everyone lose their hair."
Earlier this year, his father, Sacramento County airport fire Capt. Timothy Anderson, died of occupational cancer.

Firefighters from across the nation have participated in the drive, posting videos of themselves getting their heads shaved to a Facebook group dedicated to the cause: Brave the Shave with Mason Anderson.
On Saturday, a big crowd came together at the Anderson home to shave heads and offer support, according to KCRA.
Mason even got to shave off Sacramento Assistant fire Chief Kim Iannucci's hair.
Other women also shaved their heads, while some dyed their hair pink.
"It just speaks for the people who put their lives out there for us," Lacey Anderson told KCRA. "And they do it in more ways than just putting on a uniform."
Many videos from the event have been shared on the group's page.
"Mason, what an amazing thing you have done," said Sacramentan Kate Stamps in a post on the page. "I'm in total awe of how many people you brought together to show your mom we've got her back."
"Mason, you have a large family to help and support you and your mom," said Jeff Hankins in a post. "We are all with you."
"What a beautiful tribute to breast cancer awareness! Thank you Mason Anderson for being such a brave young man and helping your mom Lacey Anderson! Your love shines!" said Christina Watts in a post to the group. "The community involvement has been tremendous and it is humbling to see everyone come together to support this amazing family! Kick cancers A$$ Lacey!!!!!"
Lacey Anderson said the huge show of support has helped lift her spirits.
"I'm not one to back down from a fight," Lacey Anderson said to KCRA. "I have to consider that I have cancer, cancer doesn't have me."

The Canadian public broadcaster has a Sunday morning omnibus program that this morning did a piece about financial abuse of the elderly through the manipulation of wills. In my case, my bi-polar mother has been trying to bribe her daughter into liking her for decades. Fortunately, my sister is estranged to us but one of my fears is that she'll come out of the woodwork.
There's some family experience with this. Another cousin got ahold of his grandmother's chequebook and helped himself to seveal thousand dollars.
Moreover, my sister has a history of selfishness, I regret to say. She lived rent free for a decade at a relative's house and I am sure has 'reframed' this as a gift in her mind. Anway, although the specifics of legal issues may differ in your jurisdiction but the psychological and social implications of people fighting over an elderly person's money are probably the same.
In particular, the panelists discuss the well intentioned but potentially disastrous things that families do like apportioning money ahead of the death or incapacity, and conflicts between what the bank wants and what the lawyers want, et cetera.

This $3.75 gadget is extremely handy for custom low foot print server builds like FreeNAS or ESXi. You install your small foot print OS onto a USB stick and hide it away. In fact, FreeNAS recommends installing onto a flash drive. Instead of having a USB pen drive sticking out the back of you server, you can simply hide it away inside the chassis like this:
Here, I have it in my Fujitsu MX 130 taped to the side of the drive caddy. I can free up the SATA ports for drives and my OS boots from the USB stick. Cool indeed.
Other uses included setting up an internal usb wifi. This is great for those who hackintosh and need to use a specific wifi dongle.

Movie Series - Dumb and Dumber
Dumb and Dumber was a 1994 comedy starring Jim Carrey as Lloyd and Jeff Daniels as Harry, following their misadventures caused by their stupidity. The sequel, Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry met Lloyd, was released in 2003 and told the story of how the two met in school.

|Here's my take on Jim Carreyless sequels. I don't watch them. Even as funny as Steve Carell can be, he shouldn't have done Evan Almighty. Bruce Almighty was far superior and I don't get why there's so much hate for it. They should also have never made Dumb and Dumberer, The Mask with that idiot, I can't think of his name. Wasn't there even a 3rd installment to Ace Ventura with some punk kid. Anyway point is I don't bother with Carreyless sequels. -- Submitted By: (Jp) on September 7, 2011, 10:17 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote

|I LOVED 'Dumb & Dumber'. The whole idea of comedy about two utter morons getting innocently caught in the middle of some underworld criminal scheme and coming out saving the day was classic. It was written wonderfully, and outside of the two main characters, the supporting cast was not played too broadly and it was perfect. Well, a few years later (thanks to Star Wars chapters 1-3) Prequel mania hits Hollywood and they decided to bring back Lloyd & Harry as teenagers in what has to be,in my opinion, one of the CRAPPIEST origin stories ever written. 'Dumb & Dumberer.' It still boggles my mind how this-this thing even made it out of pre-production much less even to principal photography. The ONLY prop I will give 'Dumb & Dumberer' is that the guy who played Lloyd really convinced me he was a teenaged version of Lloyd Christmas... but that's all I give it. Dumb & Dumberer Boned the Fish- BIGTIME! -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on January 18, 2010, 11:00 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
