5. The pilot script was actually broken down into the first two chapters (or episodes).

“If you just watched the first hour, it ends in a weird place. It ends in an alley with a guy eating ribs at seven o’clock in the morning. So I’ve always seen (episodes) one and two as companions, dovetailing the other. I don’t think of it as a cliffhanger. That [word] makes me feel a little dirty.”

6. Fincher would not have made House of Cards Without Kevin Spacey

When Fincher read the pilot script, he couldn’t think of anyone but Kevin Spacey for the main role. “We needed a cunning linguist, we needed someone who could run for public office, we can see him shaking hands.” When he met with Spacey he even told him that if he didn’t get Kevin for the role, he wasn’t going to make it. Spacey was very interested but was just about to go do thirteen months of Richard the Third. He asked Fincher if he could wait a year for him to play the part, and they did.

7. Fincher describes Spacey’s character Francis Underwood as a Machiavellian who is taking you under his wing, a poet figure but he always has secrets.

“He’s not Kasparov (chess grandmaster), he doesn’t see four moves ahead of his opponent. He kind of comes into a room and knocks over the chess board, says ‘oh, was somebody playing this?’ And he puts it back the way he wants it to be. And he creates chaos and fucks things up to make people look a certain way and he is able to work his magic to make people think it was there idea.”

8. Claire Underwood is Fincher’s Lady MacBeth.

Fincher approached Robin Wright about the series while working on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Stockholm, asking if she would like to play his Lady MacBeth. Wright read the pilot script and came to Fincher with a smile and said “I like this woman”.

“She doesnt play cast iron bitches much. I mean, she is formidable but I think she was kind of flattered that I saw her as something other than a princess. … [the character is] not a scold, but you want the idea that her favor means something to him.”

Until now, most of the speculation about Warner’s legal/philosophical/emotional position on this issue has been exactly that: Speculation. However, earlier today, Drew McWeeny (previously Moriarty from AICN) posted up an open letter written by Lloyd Levin, one of Watchmen’s producers. Levin’s letter is striking both for its candor and its detailed description about the trials and tribulations that went into making of the film:

No one is more keenly aware of the irony of this dispute than Larry Gordon and I who have been trying to get this movie made for many years. There’s a list of people who have rejected the viability of a movie based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s classic graphic novel that reads like a who’s who of Hollywood. We’ve been told the graphic novel is unfilmable. After 9/11 some felt the story’s themes were too close to reality ever to be palatable to a mainstream audience…

Also endless are the list of studio rejections we accrued over the years. Larry and I developed screenplays at five different studios. We had two false starts in production on the movie. We were involved with prominent and commercial directors. Big name stars were interested. In one instance hundreds of people were employed, sets were being built – An A-list director and top artists in the industry were given their walking papers when the studio financing the movie lost faith.

Levin’s letter lays bare the immutable truth: “One reason the movie was made was because Warner Brothers spent the time, effort and money to engage with and develop the project. If Watchmen was at Fox the decision to make the movie would never have been made because there was no interest in moving forward with the project.” Consequently, the letter is perhaps most notable for the staunch moral position that Levin takes. Levin concludes:

For the sake of the artists involved, for the hundreds of people, executives and filmmakers, actors and crew, who invested their time, their money, and dedicated a good portion of their lives in order to bring this extraordinary project to life, the question of what is right is clear and unambiguous – Fox should stand down with its claim.

However you come down on the issue, it’s a fascinating look behind the scenes of one of the most controversial film-related lawsuits in recent memory. Check out the whole letter by going to Hitfix.

Supreme Court docket 2012: What are the big cases to watch this term?

Human Rights, the Death Penalty, and Affirmative Action: The Supreme Court Cases to Watch

Human Rights, the Death Penalty, and Affirmative Action: The Supreme Court Cases to Watch

The law, lawyers, and the court.
Sept. 25 2012 11:57 AM

Human Rights, the Death Penalty, and Affirmative Action

What will the Supreme Court decide in this term’s first big cases?

Next Monday, the Supreme Court will begin what promises to be an action-packed fall. As I get ready to step into the inimitable heels of Dahlia Lithwick—she is on book leave for the year, and yes, you should pity me for covering for her—I’m looking forward to three cases in the first half of October. Here they are, in the order they’ll be argued. I’ll preview more cases as they come up, and I’ll also keep an eye out for new additions to the court’s docket—gay marriage, anyone?

Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Company, Monday, Oct. 1: The term opens with a case held over from last year—in a way that doesn’t bode well for Esther Kiobel. She sued Royal Dutch Shell in 2002 on behalf of her late husband and 11 other Nigerians, saying that the company colluded with the Nigerian military in the 1990s to silence protesters—going so far as torturing and killing them—who were trying to halt oil exploration. Last term, when the court first heard the case, the question was whether corporations could be sued for human rights abuses. Cue lots of bitterness on the left about how the court could treat companies as people for the purposes of campaign donations, but not when it comes to accusations of murder.

Now the case is back to resolve a more basic question: Can Esther Kiobel sue in the United States over this alleged breach of international law on foreign soil? The law at issue is the Alien Tort Statute, passed in 1789 to combat piracy, among other things. No one much used it until the 1980s, when it became a weapon for fighting human rights abuses. In 2004, in a case out of Mexico, the court said it was OK to use the statute for claims based in “universally condemned human rights violations,” as the plaintiffs put it. Genocide, torture, and human trafficking should count along with piracy. Will a majority of justices now retreat from that position, foreclosing the American courts to people like Esther Kiobel? Or will conservative justices like Antonin Scalia prefer to read the law based on its historical roots, thus keeping this 1789 statute alive? Update, Sept. 25, 2012, 3:15 p.m.: I should add that the Obama administration has taken a new position in this case, arguing that most cases involving allegations against foreign companies, including Kiobel's, should not go forward. When it's a human rights crime involving a foreign government and a foreign corporation that's at issue, "the United States cannot be thought responsible in the eyes of the international community for affording a remedy," the government's brief states.

Ryan v. Gonzales and Tibbals v. Carter, Tuesday, Oct. 9: We are not supposed to execute mentally insane people in this country. The Supreme Court said so in 1986. At the time, no state allowed such an execution; as Justice Thurgood Marshall pointed out, British judges back in the 17th century worried about the “miserable spectacle” of “extreme inhumanity and cruelty” presented by executing a “mad man.” That’s still the law, though it’s worth worrying over the low standard of competence courts use. Apart from that, what exactly is supposed to happen if a defendant is sentenced to death and then found to be incompetent, because of mental illness, to help his lawyer press his appeals?

Two federal appeals courts, the 6th Circuit and the 9th Circuit, have essentially found that defendants have a right to be competent during the federal court proceeding called habeas corpus—basically, a defendant’s last-ditch chance to get off death row. The 9th Circuit stayed proceedings indefinitely in the case of Ernest Valencia Gonzales, who is psychotic, and who killed a man in the course of a burglary. In Ohio, a district court similarly ordered an indefinite stay for Sean Carter, sentenced to die for killing his adoptive grandmother, and then found to be delusional with schizophrenia. The state of Ohio, which wants to execute Carter, imagines courts handing out lots more delays under “extraordinarily loose standards,”  bringing the death penalty to a halt in the state. This is not a crazy concern: The backdrop here is the case of Melvin Davis Rees, who got a competency hearing and a stay courtesy of the Supreme Court in the mid-1960s—and died in prison in 1995, as Lyle Denniston points out on Scotusblog.

The Obama administration has weighed in against a rule that favors indefinite stays for death row inmates whose mental illness makes them incompetent. It’s too much to ask to stop all these cases, the government says. The American Psychiatric Association is on the other side, arguing that, for the sake of fairness, people who can’t help their lawyers shouldn’t be marched through their appeals. The American Bar Association wants a flexible standard for granting a stay, depending on the level of the defendant’s impairment and the circumstances of the case. It’s hard for me to imagine a lot of defendants who are deemed incompetent who could possibly work well with their lawyers—most of them are probably hallucinatory and delusional. That may not move a majority on the Supreme Court, though.

Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, Wednesday, Oct. 10: The Supreme Court famously battled its way to a détente over affirmative action in 2003. In a pair of split-the-baby decisions, two different majorities struck down the use of quotas that favored historically disadvantaged racial minorities in public college admissions, but allowed schools to use race as one unquantified factor among many. Writing that second ruling, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor proclaimed her expectation that “25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today." O’Connor is gone from the court and so is her timeline. She has been replaced by Justice Samuel Alito, a dedicated foe of race-conscious policies, and that can only be good for Abigail Fisher, who is white, and who was denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin in 2008. UT, abiding by a 1997 state law, fills most of its class—more than 85 percent, the year Fisher applied—with the top 10 percent of the state’s high school graduates. For the remaining spots, the university takes race into account. Fisher wasn’t among the top 10 percent in her high school, so her argument is that she should have gotten one of the remaining spots—and did not because of affirmative action.

The last rationale that the Supreme Court accepted for maintaining some degree of affirmative action was diversity. Here’s Justice Lewis Powell speaking, in the other huge ruling in this arena, in 1978: “The atmosphere of ‘speculation, experiment, and creation’—so essential to the quality of higher education—is widely believed to be promoted by a diverse student body.” In 2003, O’Connor noted the premium that “major American businesses” and “high-ranking retired officers and civilian military leaders” placed on exposure to people of different backgrounds in developing future employees and leaders. The retired military leaders and the Fortune 100 companies are back this time around, with briefs that include captions like “Invalidating UT’s Modest Race-Conscious Admissions Policy Would Seriously Dispute the Military’s Efforts to Maintain Military Cohesion and Effectiveness.” We’ll see whether their continuing support for affirmative action matters. Justice Elena Kagan will sit this case out—she presumably worked on it during her time in the Obama Justice Department. If the court splits 4 to 4, Abigail Fisher will lose. But for that to happen, Justice Anthony Kennedy would have to join the liberal-moderate side. He didn’t go that way in 2003, or in the two major cases about race-conscious government policies since. Maybe his vote isn’t a foregone conclusion, though? We’ll know more soon enough.

Can you really run a car on moonshine? Fact-checking the new movie ‘Lawless.’

Fact-Checking Lawless: Can You Really Fuel a Car With Moonshine?

Fact-Checking Lawless: Can You Really Fuel a Car With Moonshine?

Brow Beat
Slate's Culture Blog
Aug. 31 2012 6:05 PM

Can You Really Run a Car on Moonshine?

In the new movie Lawless, brothers Jack Bondurant (Shia LaBeouf) and Forrest Bondurant (Tom Hardy) find themselves unexpectedly out of gas on a tense drive out of Franklin County, Va. Luckily, they’re booze-running bootleggers, and after emptying a mason jar of moonshine into the tank, their automobile is back up and running. Can cars really run on moonshine?

Only if it’s really strong stuff. To power a car, moonshine—in this case, illicit homemade whiskey—must  have an extremely high alcohol content, at minimum 150 proof (or 75 percent alcohol by volume), or 190 proof for best results. During the Prohibition, moonshine could be as weak as 63 proof and as strong as 190 proof.

Alcohol has been used to fuel cars since the dawn of the modern automobile. Henry Ford’s Model T was equipped for running on ethanol as well as gasoline. And in recent years, the federal government has mandated that ethanol make up about 10 percent of most gasoline bought at the pump. Others drive on the more controversial E85, which is 85 percent alcohol. Some penny pinchers have even installed legal “moonshine” stills in their own backyards, to save on gas money.

Practically any car could run on high-potency hooch, though the level of performance would vary. The Ford Model A driven in the historical novel Lawless is based on would run pretty smoothly, though it would lose about 30 percent of its horse power. Most automobiles made prior to 2000 aren’t equipped to handle alcohol long-term, and fueling with ethanol can lead to leaks, rust, and corrosion. However, since alcohol has become a regular additive to gasoline, modern fuel systems have developed a much higher tolerance for the substance. While a car made today could run just as well on some stiff “white lightning” as it could on E85 fuel, drivers should beware of cold winters: Below 40 degrees, it’d be a challenge to get it started.

Report 121: Three Months in Holland

By Marta (Moderator) from Washington State, Spring 1996

Previous Page   |   Next Page

Page 4 of 8: Tulip Time at Keukenhof and Haarlem

April 29, 1996 Last week the weather was wonderful. The weekend before last was warm and sunny. The temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius (70-75F for those Celsius challenged).

First I wanted to checkout the Saturday outdoor market. It is a large market along the canal (the Rijn). Most everything is sold at the market. You can find sunglasses, fabric, clothes, shoes, record and food. We wanted to purchase fresh vegetables and bread. We got some wonderful raisin rolls, a nice loaf of bread with lots of seeds, and some whole grain bread. For vegetables, first we stopped at the edible mushroom vendor and picked up some country mushrooms. Next we picked up some fruit and salad stuff. Of course we had to buy lots of cut flowers.

We also checked out the other supermarket. It has a good selection of Belgian beers so I now have a market close by to pick up the beer. We also stocked up on the basics, milk, water, and cookies.

The special event that weekend was the Bloemencorso, or blooms parade. The bulb farmers and businesses in the bulb growing area hold a parade during the prime bulb blooming time. The parade travels from Rijnwijk to Haarlem which is about 30km and takes all day to get from the start to the finish. We had picked up a schedule and it was due into Haarlem at about 7:30pm. So we decided to go there.

The train ride took us through some of the bulb growing area. From the train we could see several fields of yellow, pink, blue and white. Haarlem is a very picturesque town with a large square and church. The church is from the 1600's with a large organ that was played by Mozart when he visited the Netherlands. We followed the crowds and found a place to stand and wait the parade. The police had put up barricades along the route. And like any other parade it was late.

The parade was made up of about 12 floats and several cars decorated in floral arrangements. It was amazing. The theme of the parade was sports and each float was dedicated to a particular sport, tennis, car racing, soccer, swimming, horseback riding, etc. The float was decorated in flowers, mostly hyacinths and daffodils, but also greenhouse flowers. The cars would have an arch of flowers going from the hood to the rear bumper which were very cool. There were also marching bands.

The parade finished about 9pm and it was still pretty light. We walked around the shopping area of Haarlem and came back to the main square where there was a rock/soul band playing. We stuck around for a while. It's so strange to be standing next to a church several centuries old and listening to a rock band. We took the train back to Leiden.

The next day we visited Keukenhof, a large (70-acre) garden dedicated to flowering bulbs. It was a very warm day and everyone was visiting the garden. I later heard that 60,000 people visited that weekend. It was crowded but not unbearable because of the size of the garden. To get there, we took a bus from Leiden through the bulb growing area. It was spectacular. We walked along fields and fields of yellow, white, pink and blue. Plus the scent of the hyacinths was wonderful. The air was so perfumed in the warm sun. We saw lots of people on the bike paths and it made us envious since it was a perfect day to ride in the country.

The gardens were very good. George was in heaven. I think we saw every type of Daffodil grown. There were just a few tulips except in the greenhouses. We stayed about 4 hours and then returned home to Leiden.

The rest of the week was still sunny but it has been come cooler. The wind is from the north and is more chilling. George has been busy planting the window boxes. He has some seeds started in egg crates and he bought some pansies in the market on Wednesday.

Beer is wonderful. I have started to try several different beers from Belgium and Netherlands. Some are Belgium Ales such as Duvel, Kwak; Some are Belgium Red Ales which are very sour; I've bought a Lambic (geuze) which is a naturally fermented from the yeast that is airborne from the area around Brussels; Others are Abbey beers like Chimay. We've also had a wheat beer from Germany. Chocolate and Beer... I am in heaven.

WWE Tuesday Morning Quarterback: Thoughts for January 27, 2015 | Smark Out Moment

WWE Tuesday Morning Quarterback: Thoughts for January 27, 2015

Posted by Bryan Cheung Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Welcome to the first edition of WWE TUESDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK for Smark Out Moment, wherein I take the concept of criticizing or passing judgment from a hindsight position and apply it to what is going on in World Wrestling Entertainment and the professional wrestling world in general. After what happened over the past few days, I've got a lot to say, so let's jump right into it!

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." — echoing sentiments representing the majority of viewers Sunday night and even into perhaps today about the 2015 Royal Rumble.

Reaction to Roman Reigns Royal Rumble victory on Twitter
My tweet after watching the 2015 Royal Rumble.

For two straight years, the first pay-per-view of the year has left wrestling fans dumbfounded and shaking their heads.

Reactions to WWE Royal Rumble winner on Twitter
The same reaction a year ago after watching the Royal Rumble

Coming off one of the best triple threat matches in WWE history and a start to the rumble that featured some great returns, the Royal Rumble was set up to be one of those pay-per-views you would remember for a lifetime.

At the end of the day, yes, it was one you will remember the rest of your life, but for all the wrong reasons.

Bubba Ray Dudley had just returned to a huge pop and the crowd was into it. Bray Wyatt looked strong and continued his upward ascension (excuse the pun). Everyone's favorite B+ superstar, Daniel Bryan, looked like he was on track to main-eventing his second straight WrestleMania.

And like most things in life, it was too good to be true.

You know the rest, as Bryan was unceremoniously knocked off the ring apron and onto the floor, setting off the series of unfortunate events.

Not even The Rock—the only wrestler before Bryan who consistently got those massive of a crown pops—could save Roman Reigns from becoming 2015's Batista.

It's clear that WWE expected a backlash from the fans, which is why The Rock came back to help his relative, hoping he could put Reigns over.

Mission unaccomplished, as Reigns is now the biggest default heel in the industry.

If WWE felt that Reigns is the man to fight Lesnar in 60 some odd days, then the process which got them to where they are now was extremely flawed.

Of the past four Royal Rumble winners, three of them have been obvious and leaked onto the Internet months in advance.
  1. Sheamus in 2012—but Chris Jericho was slated to win and finished 2nd
  2. John Cena in 2013—obvious rematch with The Rock
  3. Batista in 2014—who showed up on Raw less than week before
  4. Roman Reigns in 2015—triggering the #cancelwwenetwork movement

Is it apples and oranges in this comparison that a TV show doesn't leak which character dies in an episode months in advance? The winner of Survivor or The Amazing Race doesn't seem to circulate the "dirt sheets" like potential WrestleMania main events or Royal Rumble winners.

Even in this Internet age, things do happen which nobody sees coming. You would think the higher-ups would make it a priority to make sure these type of big leaks don't happen.

Had the entire smart mark community not known of these obvious outcomes, would we be more receptive of the winners?

What if Bryan was one of the last few wrestlers remaining? Would that have helped?

And what was the point of Bryan returning for the Royal Rumble? To milk some PPV buys from followers of the YES! Movement. Yet they say they don't believe Bryan is a draw.

Besides that, there was no reason for Bryan to enter the Rumble if he didn't stay to the end or win.

But we don't want to see Bryan in the main event two years in a row, some would argue. Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and Triple H have all main-evented WrestleManias in consecutive years. Hell, we even saw The Rock vs John Cena for two years straight when it was billed a "once in a lifetime" event.

Another notion thrown out there was that it isn't believable for Bryan to beat Lesnar. If you believe in that theory, then Big Show should have held the title for years in his prime. If Bryan going over Lesnar isn't conceivable, why can't we have Lesnar beat Bryan to cement himself as the greatest champion of all time? He can vacate the title the next night on Raw.

Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar was and is still the biggest main event WWE could book for this year's WrestleMania and unfortunately, it looks like they dropped the ball, again. What they can't do is add Bryan to the main event in the same fashion, as it would probably make even less sense than the main event now. Not to mention, it would spoil fans into thinking we can book pay-per-views for WrestleManias to come. Cherish that power from 2014, because this is 2015.

Lost in the shuffle was a triple threat for the ages. Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins and John Cena were all at the top of their game. It was one of those matches where you stood up in your living room to see what would unfold next.

It also unfairly derailed the rise of a young and promising superstar who may never recover from this. What was supposed to be a shining moment in his career is now tainted with venomous boos. Now, the former member of The Shield is the poster boy for the #cancelwwenetwork movement.

In his interview on Monday Night Raw, Lesnar summed up the thoughts of everybody watching when Michael Cole told him he'd be facing Reigns at WrestleMania. Lesnar responded simply, "Who?" When the two then met face to face, Lesnar said, "I don't respect you." Sadly, it doesn't seem anybody does at this moment.

To pour more salt in the wound, Daniel Bryan said last night. "I was disappointed that Roman Reigns won, not because it's Roman Reigns, but because it wasn't me."

Did Monday night's studio sessions with Reigns, Bryan, Lesnar and Paul Heyman help diffuse the situation a bit? Was it a step in the right direction to make the best out of a bad situation? Absolutely.

But would that have played out the same way in front of a LIVE crowd? No.

Good heel heat is when the crowd is booing with you, not booing at you. Even though Vince McMahon loves this type of controversy, it can't be what's best for business.

Lesnar fought Goldberg at WrestleMania XX and the 18,000 in attendance booed both individuals from start to finish.

11 years later, it looks like Lesnar will be in the same match. The only difference is Goldberg will be played by Reigns and there will be over 70,000 fans spewing their hatred for the main event.

If a three count happens and nobody cares, does it make a sound?

Last nights brisket

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter

Doing a party today and one of the items on the menu is a big brisket.  I also did some pulled pork the other day for this.  But the brisket was the big item.  I picked up a 14 pounder from Sam's and went to town on it yesterday afternoon.

Started with a little trimming.  The bottom got a pretty good trim job and the top just got thinned out a little bit.  I also scored the top to get some penetration on the rub.  The rub was a full batch of Jeff's Rub.  I went ahead and injected some creole butter in this beast as well

After several hours

After 16 1/2 hours it made it 183 degrees.  This is getting sliced for sammys so I went ahead and pulled it.  Its all foiled, towled and sitting in a cooler now for a few hours.  I will be taking my big rig to the party and using it to warm everything up.  Plus add a little more smoke to it.  For the brisket, I used the Smoke Vault.  I was dialed in on this smoke and I would go several hours and never adjust the heat.

I will post pics of the Q at the party when all put out.

Looks Great Matt !

Can't wait for the rest of the pics!

Man oh Man that thing looks great so far there matt. I can't wait to see the money shots. Sliced that is.

post #6 of 7

Looks great Matt, can't wait to see it sliced up!

post #7 of 7
Thread Starter

Well, I screwed up.  Things got a bit crazy after everything got sliced up and put out.  I never (forgot) got a chance to get pics.  But it was all a huge success and almost sold the smoker a couple times.

Sorry for not getting any money shots.

What to do ?? (Beads)

Discussion in 'General BDSM discussions' started by MistressMaria86, Oct 9, 2012.

  1. Hello,

    So I know the guy I occasionally have fun with likes 'all the anal stuff'. Have done one- two fingers and have inserted a slim line plug. I was looking at 'beginner beads' online - the reviews were quite favourable but being the novice that I am with all things sexual I am not really sure what to do with them.

    It said on the review that they need to be lubed up reasonably well and to go gently - I guess that means pushing the beads in one by one right?? Should I be trying to get them all in or build it up. (I dont actually know if this will even happen but I like to be prepared - I hate being so new to everything lol).

    Also once they are in do you just leave them in there or are you supposed to do something with them?? I realise this might cause some to giggle but I cant really ask anyone else and it would be really nice not to have to ask him mid play!

  2. Khartas

    Khartas New Member

    Knowing what I know of beads, yes, you insert them one by one. The beads are on a string (or cord) and it's not exactly easy to push a string straight into something, now is it? Haha.
    As far as leaving them in versus yanking them out, it depends on what you want to do. Ask him if he wants them all in, or if he wants to take it slow. Yanking to remove them is not recommended- at least to start- but rather a straight and steady draw on the cord would be your best bet. If you choose to leave them in, you might use it to tease him by tugging gently on the draw cord, causing them to move, yet not come out, or even still, you could pull it so one was halfway out.

    Hope this helps!

    Khartas- some beads are on a more solid(ish) strip- flexible rather than incredibly floppy and stringy. Your instructions should still apply, but I wanted Maria to know that wasn't just for string ones :)

    Also, if you pull them out (well, you'll have to eventually), I'd do it slowly. There's more tension that way as he feels each one exit and stretches around it, if that makes sense.

    Khartas New Member

    Ah- I had forgotten. Thank you, Smallest.
  5. Many thanks :). Yes I would go slowly both on the way in and way I out - I might be a dom but I still want to be gentle (at least at that point lol). The one I looked at was more solid in between the beads as Smallest says. As for asking him ....well part of the fun could be seeing what he could cope with right?? As I say it might not even happen but if it does i'll let you know how it goes.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 8:44 PM ET | By Errol Lewis
UPDATED: Friday, February 12, 2010 3:47 PM ET

(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — Bradley Cole, best known for his role as Jeffrey O’Neill on the CBS daytime drama series “Guiding Light” is joining the cast of ABC’s “General Hospital” in the role of Carlton Bauer, Kiefer’s (Christian Alexander) father. UPDATE: The soap has renamed Cole’s character to Warren Bauer according to ABC sources.

According to ABC, the actor will make his debut sometime in March. His character is expected to go toe to toe with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) whose daughter Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) is dating his son. Kristina and Kiefer are currently involved in a teen abuse storyline in which Kiefer has been abusing Kristina on numerous occasions.

Cole’s appearance on “General Hospital” marks a reunion of sorts for Laura Wright (Carly Corinthos Jacks), who portrayed the other half of “Guiding Light” super-couple Cassie Winslow and Richard Winslow (also played by Cole). The duo dominated soap magazines and polls during the height of the couple-dom from 2000-2002. The character of Richard was killed off following serious injuries sustained from a car accident and the hands of Cassie’s sister Reva Shayne (Kim Zimmer), who pulled the plug on his life support after he had asked her to.

It would appear that Cole’s appearance on “General Hospital” is scheduled for a couple of episodes, but it is possible it may lead to something more down the road.

The Los Angeles, California native appeared in a couple of episodes of “All My Children” in 2003 as Jordan Roberts.

“General Hospital” airs Weekdays on ABC. Weeknights on SOAPnet.

Lindsay Tarpley out with ACL injury
by Paul Kennedy, August 11th, 2009 7AM
Subscribe to Soccer America Daily

[U.S. WOMEN] Two-time gold-medalist Lindsay Tarpley is sidelined after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee during training with WPS's Chicago Red Stars last week. She joins a group of nine current U.S. pool players who have suffered ACL injuries. Surgeries generally require 8-10 months for a full recovery.

The former University of North Carolina star suffered the injury during the last five minutes of the team's final training of 2009 before facing St. Louis Athletica last Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Tarpley, who has played 119 matches and scored 30 goals for the USA, has not set a date for surgery, but will likely have the procedure within the next two weeks.

She had seen action in six out of the seven matches the USA played in 2009.

A broken leg suffered in 2004 forced her to miss half of her junior and senior seasons at UNC.

Women’s World Cup: Equatorial Guinea meet Norway

Equatorial Guinea, one of the smallest African countries but surely the fastest in women’s football ascendancy is courting Norway, a traditional powerhouse fallen on less stellar times in a Group D encounter.
The Nzalang Nacionals gained their first ever entry into the Women’s World Cup beating South Africa, 3-1 in the semi-finals of the 2010 Women’s African Championships. They lost to Nigeria 4-2 in the finals but their gutsy performance earned them many kudos.
Here is Genoveva Anonma, the captain of the Nzalang Nacionals who plays for German club Jena unplugging her thoughts about her distinctive cornrows, the death of a close team mate, her elevation as captain at the tender age of 22, and the prospects of this very young team in this World Cup.

Finding the ultimate inspiration is sometimes difficult

When I'm in the mood to masturbate, I usually search for just the right erotic video on line. I've never found the perfect, inspirational video, but have downloaded six or seven that help me have an inspired sexual experience.

What I'm looking for is a video on line of women talking about their sexual experience, in specific, arousing language. The ultimate would be two women having sex and talking to one another about how it feels. I also like it when two women kiss each other while having intercourse. But I'd like it better if one woman said 'Oh I'm getting fucked so good!' and the other replied, 'I can't wait until his cock is inside me.'

It makes me hard thinking about finding such a video!

An article in the Chicago Tribune (August 29, 1999) reported that in a poll of residents of the Chicago suburbs, 43% felt that their financial situation had improved during the past year. The following statement is from the article: “The findings of this Tribune poll are based on interviews with 930 randomly selected suburban residents. The sample included suburban Cook County plus DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties. In a sample of this size, one can say with 95% certainty that results will differ by no more than 3%t from results obtained if all residents had been included in the poll.” Comment on this statement. Give a statistical argument to justify the claim that the estimate of 43% is within 3% of the true proportion of residents who feel that their financial situation has improved.

What is File Extension MOV?

Did someone email you a MOV file and you're not sure how to open it? Maybe you have found a MOV file on your computer and wondering what it's for? Windows might tell you that you can't open it, or in the worst case, you might encounter a MOV file related error message.

Before you can open a MOV file, you'll need to figure out what kind of file the MOV file extension refers to.

Tip: Incorrect MOV file association errors can be a symptom of other underlying issues within your Windows operating system. These invalid entries can also produce associated symptoms such as slow Windows startups, computer freezes, and other PC performance issues. Therefore, it highly recommended that you scan your Windows registry for invalid file associations and other issues related to a fragmented registry.

How To Open Your MOV File:

MOV File Opener

Download »

The fastest and easiest way to open your MOV file is to double-click it. This allows the intelligence of Windows to decide the correct software application to open your MOV file.

If your PC opens the MOV file, but it's the wrong application, you'll need to change your Windows registry file association settings. In other words, Windows is associating MOV file extensions with the wrong software program.

Songlines Music Awards 2015 Nominees: Best Group

Posted on April 9th, 2015 in News, Recent posts by .

Seven years since their launch, the Songlines Music Awards continue to champion the huge amount of brilliant music from around the world. Here are the four nominees in the Best Group category, as voted by you.

For Revival on Island Records

Britain’s favourite folk big band, led by the estimable duo of John Spiers and Jon Boden, scored the biggest-selling independently released English folk album of all time with 2010’s Hedonism. It earned them a major label deal and their Island Records debut is a typically rollicking collection of drinking songs and sea shanties, pristinely produced and delivered with impressive brio.

Toumani & Sidiki Diabaté

For Toumani & Sidiki on World Circuit

The griot tradition of African musicians handing on their skills down the generations continues with the emergence of Sidiki, the 24-year-old son of the world’s leading kora player, Toumani Diabaté. On their debut album of kora duets, the strings of father and son are rhapsodically interwoven to create a rich tapestry of contrasting moods, brimming with burnished melodies and virtuosity.

Show of Hands
For Centenary: Words and Music of the Great War on Mighty Village

The centenary of the outbreak of World War I in 2014 generated many artistic tributes, but few were more heartfelt than Show of Hands’ collection of poetry, music and song in remembrance of those lost. Noted English roots performers for more than 20 years, Steve Knightley and Phil Beer’s songs are joined on the disc by readings from actors Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter.

For Tamburocket: Hungarian Fireworks on Riverboat Records

The Hungarian quintet are a traditional tamburica band, their sound based around the tambura, a plucked instrument common in south Slav music, supplemented by wind instruments and accordion. With a repertoire made up of material from across the Balkans, some of it collected by Béla Bartók, their second album to receive an international release sparkles with foot-tapping joie de vivre.

First Episode of Song Il Gook’s Comeback Drama “Jang Young Shil” Leaves Strong Impression

jang young shil poster

It was an amazing comeback. Actor Song Il Gook’s sheer presence on the television screen was enough for the viewers to forget about his more familiar image as the father of triplets or his five-year break from acting. Even in the previews which barely lasted a minute, Song Il Gook’s presence left the viewers wanting for more.

The first episode of KBS2TV’s “Jang Young Shil” aired on January 2. The episode portrayed elder Jang Young Shil’s (Song Il Gook) final moments of life and young Jang Young Shil (Jung Yoon Suk) learning about science.

Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.

jang young shil

Unlike other historical dramas which tend to portray from the childhood of the main character, “Jang Young Shil” started out showing death of Jang Young Shil as an old man. Elder Jang Young Shil is seen walking across the wilderness holding a sundial. Seeing the clouds cover up the sun, he yells out, “Right! Just swallow it all up!”

The narration follows that says, “I gave my life to learning about the laws of universe. At times, I was disappointed to find out that the laws of universe aren’t always constant. I will disappear without a trace in this vast ever-changing universe. One thing I wish is that someone will take over the records I leave behind and continue the study. Whoever that may be, I believe in you.”

This segment was the only part Song Il Gook made his appearance in the first episode. Even so, his awesome acting ability was enough to make his presence linger throughout the whole episode.

Song Il Gook’s popularity as an actor began when he starred in the MBC drama “Jumong” with total of 81 episodes. Before that, he had appeared on KBS 2TV’s “Emperor of the Sea.”

As a veteran historical drama actor, Song Il Gook made a successful comeback through “Jang Young Shil” erasing all memories of his image as the “Triplets’ Daddy.” He was able to overcome the concern about his recent image as a dad interfering with his drama acting.

According to the AGB Nielsen (South Korea) Media Research results measured on January 3, the first episode of “Jang Young Shil” scored 11.6 percent in the ratings. That places “Jang Young Shil” at number two among the dramas that aired at the same time slot. The first place drama is MBC’s “My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol” scoring 28.5 percent.

SBS’s “I Have a Lover” scored 6.6 percent and KBS2TV’s “Entertainment Weekly” scored 5.2 percent.

Song Il Gook’s appearance will be more prominent starting in the second episode of “Jang Young Shil.” Young Jang Young Shil learns science from his father and Song Il Gook will portray the young adult Jang Young Shil. The fans are highly anticipating his appearance and how he will portray the most highly esteemed scientist of Joseon dynasty.

At the press conference held prior to airing of the first episode, Song Il Gook commented, “I’m so hungry for acting right now. That hunger makes me want to try different things.” Will Song Il Gook be able to fulfill his hunger for acting through this drama? Will his acting be able to satisfy the viewers with high expectations from him? The answer remains to be seen.

Editor, Middleboro Gazette

MIDDLEBORO — Together, Middleboro and Fairhaven have a better shot at getting state grant money for housing rehabilitation and road/sidewalk improvements this year than they would if they applied separately, Fairhaven's community development director told the selectmen Monday night.

With the approval of both boards of selectmen, the two towns plan to apply for about $950,000 in Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from the state Department of Housing and Community Development, said William Roth, director of Fairhaven's Office of Planning and Economic Development. He attended Monday night's meeting with his Middleboro counterpart, Jane Kudcey, Fairhaven Chairman of Selectmen Brian Bowcock, and Middleboro Housing Authority Director Josephine Ruthwicz.

Mr. Roth and Ms. Kudcey said the grant money would be more or less equally divided between the two towns and would create a pool of money that could be borrowed by homeowners for rehabilitation projects in target neighborhoods that roughly encompass the downtown area in both towns. In Middleboro, grant money would also be spent for improvements on Sproat and Park streets near the Nemasket Apartments, one of the town's two senior housing complexes, while in Fairhaven money would be spent for improvements on Elliott Lane, the only gravel road in the downtown area.

Ms. Kudcey said the housing rehab money, around $170,000, would pay for perhaps five to six projects. Ms. Ruthwicz said the infrastructure improvements, estimated at around $150,000, would benefit the tenants in about 20 apartments that abut Sproat and Park streets. Middleboro would likely receive over $400,000 if the application is successful, with the balance going to engineering and administrative costs. Mr. Roth said the breakdown for Fairhaven would be similar. He said the application has not yet been finalized.

Mr. Bowcock said Fairhaven has been successful with block grant applications over the past several years, with awards totaling $6.5 million. He said the town has a consultant with a good track record, but the CDBG grant process has become increasingly competitive.

"It's imperative that we collaborate with other communities," said Mr. Bowcock, who explained that grants are awarded now according to a point system. "You get extra points by collaborating. Last year we got our grant by one point, so everything is critical."

Middleboro Chairman of Selectmen Al Rullo noted that after several years of success in obtaining grant money, Middleboro's application was passed over last year "because we just didn't have enough points." He said he was hopeful that having the grant writer Fairhaven has used will help make the difference.

Mr. Roth said Fairhaven will pick up the cost of the consultant, since the expense has been in the town's budget since 2005, when the consultant helped the town obtain its first $100,000 grant. He said the annual cost of the consulting service is $4,000.

Mr. Roth said the towns will get two points for collaborating, and Middleboro will further benefit because while its total "score" from the state is 25 points, Fairhaven has 30 and will be the lead applicant. Both towns will also use the same engineering firm for the infrastructure improvements. He said the towns could submit joint applications every other year.

Fairhaven will be holding a public hearing on the proposed joint application next Tuesday, Jan. 22, and the Fairhaven selectmen are likely to vote on the application on Jan. 28. If they approve, the application will come back to the Middleboro board for approval.

Peaceful UC Davis Protestors Pepper Sprayed

UC Davis students, protesting police brutality at a demonstration on their campus, were assaulted by police wearing riot gear when they did not disperse as ordered by officials. What is most disturbing about not only this offense against freedom and against those individuals occupying Wall Street, is how few people watching actually care.  The question that we should all be asking ourselves is, when did the citizens of a self-touting “Free Nation” become so desensitized to believe that those paid to serve and protect us are somehow justified in such an assault?

With each passing day, the psychological attack against our “Freedom” is soaking into our collective minds to the point where the fascist state as reflected in these actions, is believed to be normal.  Didn’t our government just use this sort of treatment of protestors in Libya to justify bombing their leader out of office to “Liberate the People”?  It would seem that not only have Americans fallen asleep and have become purposely ignorant of this ongoing assault against us but now, they have become complacent in it as well.  As long as it doesn’t happen to you, is it alright?   Welcome to the new America: Land of the Oblivious.

Choodala reveals herself to Sikhidwaja

Add to Spiritual Diary

 Vasishta continues the story of Sikhidwaja to Rama in yogavasishta "Seeing the lady in front of him exactly looking like his wife Choodala, the king was astonished. He said to her 'Who are you? From where you have come? What is the purpose of coming here? You appear like my wife Choodala by your appearance, behaviour, smile, modesty and by your grace.'
          Choodala speaks 'My lord! Quite right. I am Choodala. There is no doubt. I created bodies like Kumbha only for teaching you. Now you are knower of reality. Now, you yourself can see everything. See through your inner eye. Then king concentrated his mind and saw the events from his renunciation of kingdom till that moment.
          Then king says 'Now I understand how difficult it is to cross over the worldly existence. You indeed lifted me up in this way. There is no comparison to it. How can I repay you for this great favour?'
          Choodala says 'My lord! You were immersed in dry rituals and your mind was perplexed and was not able to grasp the reality. I was distressed seeing your condition.

Recommended By Colombia
 I had to do something to come out of my distress. Transformation has happened because of your knowledge and with that my purpose has been accomplished. Where is the question of me favouring you?'
          King speaks 'I am without desire. I am without division. I am happiness. I have no other state. Whatever exists I am that. I can not say anything other than this that by the favour of the wide eyed one(Choodala), I have crossed the worldly existence.'
