Green’s Blog

This past weekend (August 5th – 7th), Joe Lynch and I performed a 48-hour live marathon of our popular podcast “The Movie Crypt” to benefit SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE; a small, fully charity based, volunteer-run dog rescue that takes in abandoned Yorkshire Terriers (many of which have been severely abused or neglected), fosters them, provides them with direly needed medical care, and ultimately places them in permanent, loving homes with forever families.  The broadcast went for 48 hours straight and included everything from celebrity interviews, film commentaries, live script readings of never before heard/seen material, musical performances, comedy performances, and so much more.   When all was said and done we raised just about $13,480.00 for the Rescue!  (The final amount will likely be a little closer to $14,000 as donations continue to trickle in but at the time of this blog post it’s $13,480.  When we signed off it was at $13,380 – thus the photo above.  Point is – it was a major success!)  In the 14 years that SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE has existed, this is by far the most money an event has ever raised for them.  EVER.  Joe and I were secretly hoping for $10,000 to be raised – but we wound up beating that amount which was an incredible feeling.  However, before I get into the weekend re-cap… just a couple of things to address:

1.) Why do all of this for a rescue that specifically works with Yorkshire Terriers when there are thousands of other dog rescues out there that work with all breeds?  That answer is simple.   There are a zillion charities out there for every cause you can possibly think of but the reality is that we could only chose one charity to do this event for.  We chose SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE because A) I had worked with them once before and I already knew very well exactly who they are and what amazing work they do… B) Our podcast’s mascot and the face of our show for the past 3 years has been my own Yorkie Arwen… and C) SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE is a small organization that desperately needs help.    Joe, myself, and our families have always owned rescued dogs of ALL breeds and while it would have been nice to be able to help every person or animal who needs help- in the end we had to pick just one specific organization to do this for.  I had first gotten the chance to work with SAYR when I participated in an auction to benefit the Rescue that was held at the Monster Mania convention in 2015 organized by a wonderful man named David Hagan.  I auctioned myself off for a date, matched the price I went for, and also auctioned off a screen-used prop from HATCHET 2.  Together we raised about $7,000 for the Rescue which (until this past weekend’s “Movie Crypt” benefit event) was the most money a single event had ever raised for them.  Getting to meet Marilyn Faughner (who heads the rescue) and meet several other volunteers/foster parents as well as a handful of the Yorkies they were rescuing was the highlight of that convention appearance for me and I’ve kept them and what they do on my mind ever since.  When Joe and I first started talking about the idea of doing a charity marathon live podcast it was shortly after I had returned from Monster Mania – so we very quickly settled on doing this event in honor of SAYR as it was kind of a no-brainer.  Besides, Arwen’s vote count’s for 1/3rd of all decisions we make with the podcast – even though we have yet to honor her request of bringing Lassie, Benji, Snoopy, or Brian from FAMILY GUY on the show yet.  Although, we did reach out to Old Yeller around Christmas time last year.  (He was tragically unavailable.)

2.) Where did the money go and how much did you guys get from it?  Every dollar went directly to SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE and we didn’t make a penny on it.  In fact, we spent a lot of our own money putting this event on.  We used our own resources, we provided food and drinks for all of our guests, and we even made donations to the Rescue ourselves just like we were asking our listeners to do.  Sadly, even when you try and do something good there’s always some bitter person out there ready to try and accuse you of somehow profiting off of it because, after all, how could another human being possibly be that generous when they themselves are not?  That’s why we had the Rescue set up the donation site on themselves.  All donations went directly to them and we never even had to touch it.  Several artists even held their own auctions where the money made off of their work was donated to the Rescue (THANK YOU, GUYS!)- but to protect ourselves from being accused of making something off of the event we had each artist hold auctions on their own and then make the donations themselves through  If you were listening to the broadcast you likely heard when Bill Moseley (bless his soul) handed me a fifty dollar bill for the organization.  I instantly made a $55 (I added $5 for the YouCaring donation site) donation live on the air and added that it was from “Bill Moseley” in the comment section next to it.  You can look through the donations there and see it.  Point is- this was all for charity and all done out of love.

3.) “The Movie Crypt” averages at least half a million listeners or more each week.  Didn’t you expect the final total raised to be even more than it was?  Here’s the reality: you can’t expect everyone to give.  You just can’t.  By comparison, millions and millions of people would watch the annual Jerry Lewis telethons every year and enjoy the wonderful entertainment that Mr. Lewis and his team would put on… but only a few thousand in that audience would actually pick up the phone and donate.  It’s charity and you can’t expect or demand your audience to give money.  They have their own reasons for how they operate and all you can do is be grateful for the ones that were able to help.  With “The Movie Crypt”, a huge portion of our audience listens to the weekly podcast on iTunes or other streaming services that (for technical reasons) the live 48-hour broadcast was not carried on.  In fact, most of our audience is not used to listening to us directly on the GeekNation website so we always knew that there was no way that our entire regular audience was going to tune in for this.  But we were overjoyed by just how many did!  When it comes to the donations, please keep in mind that while our show may have a very large weekly following only a tiny percent of our audience has ever donated to the program to help us keep it going (the “Tip Jar” or the “Feed Arwen A Treat” option here on  Most of our regular listeners do not even support our various films when they come out by paying to see them legally.  Some listeners even make it a point to let us know that they pirate/torrent/steal our work – as you’ve likely heard us get into debates about on the show in the past.  This is just the society we live in today.  So are Joe and I disappointed that only about 400 of the tens of thousands of people listening this weekend actually donated to the Rescue?  Honestly?  Kind of, yeah.  I mean, can you imagine if every regular listener had listened and donated even just $5??  But given our experiences dealing with the public when it comes to donating to our program or with our audience paying to see our films legally… our expectations were extremely realistic with this event and we had therefore set $10,000 as our personal goal for when all was said and done.  Again, it’s charity and everyone has their own reasons for whether they give or not.  Some simply can’t.  Some simply don’t want to.  Some already give all that they can to another charity that they work with.  You can’t focus on those who didn’t give, you can only be extremely grateful for those who did.  And MAN are we grateful!!!!  SO GRATEFUL!!!  This was the very first time we had attempted something like this.  For all of the hard work, technical hurdles, scheduling complexities, and other limitations… we still can’t believe how well it worked and Joe and I are just as ecstatic as the Rescue is with what we ultimately raised!  So to those fans who have posted comments aimed at those who didn’t give anything- I ask you, please don’t focus on that.  Focus on this:  Not only did we all have an incredible time (performers and listeners alike) but because of this event there are now dogs out there who were suffering in unimaginable ways just last week but who this week will be able to get the medical attention they need, medicine to relieve their pain, operations to save their eyesight, and/or procedures to save their legs.  So many dogs are now going to have good food, fresh water, warm beds, and loving foster families who will be able to take care of them and love them until they can place them with their permanent families in their forever homes.  These unfortunate dogs no longer need to suffer, to feel un-loved, or to live in fear of the “person” who was supposed to take care of them but who instead abused, neglected, or abandoned them.  TOGETHER WE MADE A LIFE-CHANGING DIFFERENCE TO SO MANY ANIMALS AND TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SO GENEROUSLY GIVING EVERYTHING OF THEMSELVES TO HELP THEM.  Isn’t that wonderful??  I certainly think so.

With that business out of the way, let’s re-cap and celebrate just what an incredible weekend we had!   The event began with a phone conversation with Marilyn Faughner from SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE who spoke about how the Rescue began, what they actually do, and how they’ve saved the lives over 3,000 dogs to date.  Then we kicked things off with a visit from our good friends Seth Green (FAMILY GUY, AUSTIN POWERS) and Clare Grant (WALK THE LINE, HOLIDAYS) – who are the very people that brought “Arwen” into my life in the first place.  We laughed, we talked comics, we talked geek culture, we talked about their cats, and we talked about just why having a pet in your life can change everything for the better.

After that, our friend (and patron Saint) Rudy Sarzo (bass player for such acts as OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE, and more – plus a best-selling author with his autobiography OFF THE RAILS) came by to join and inspire us.

Then we were joined by comedians Kelly Vrooman (THE CHICA SHOW) and Lauren Pritchard (MAD TV) who made us laugh with their unique brand of improv comedy and songs that they made-up and sang for us on the spot.

Actor/comedian Jonah Ray (MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER, HIDDEN AMERICA) joined us as Friday night turned into Saturday morning and we even played the first of two HADDONFIELD songs that we would play over the course of the weekend.  (HADDONFIELD was my band before my movie/TV career took off and since so many fans had been asking to hear it we added an incentive where we would play a song once we hit $3,000 in donations and then another once we hit $5,000.)  The response to the first song we played (“Broken”) was far beyond what I ever would have expected and I was severely humbled by all of the kind messages and the love that the song received.  ”Among The Dogs” (the second song) received an equal amount of love and it seriously made my night!

Next up was a live reading of my never before seen/heard un-produced 2004 screenplay for CABIN FEVER 2 performed by myself, Joe, Sarah Elbert, Sean Becker, Paul Romero, Lauren Lbylski, Matt Monroe, Channing McKindra, and Amelia Brantley.  This event was extremely nerve-wracking for me given the behind the scenes political producer fiasco that had happened with CABIN FEVER 2 (check out our friend Ti West’s episode of the podcast to hear the whole story for why my script was never made) and 12 years later I was nervous about how it would go over.  Furthermore, I had never even met some of the actors who performed the roles until that very moment!  I had met actress Channing McKindra and actor Paul Romero on the set of an upcoming top-secret TV project that we shot a few weeks ago and when Paul heard Joe and I discussing the Yorkie Benefit he graciously offered to ask some of his actor friends to help us with the 2am reading.  (Trust me, it’s not easy asking people to come in at 2am!)  Every single one of them rocked the reading and the response from fans was just incredible!  You can only imagine my relief when it was over (around 4am) and I started reading messages from listeners saying just how much they enjoyed it.  Best of all, we made some new (and very talented) actor friends to keep in mind down the road!  We loved them ALL.

After that, make-up FX artist Robert Pendergraft (HATCHET 1-3, DIGGING UP THE MARROW) joined us for a demonstration on how to create prosthetic molds from scratch and how to make your very own fake blood.  We also broadcast this segment on GeekNation’s Facebook video feed so that fans could watch along and learn.  There was much ball-busting and Robert even brought Joe and I some McDonald’s to help refuel us as night turned into day and the sun came up in the sky outside. (Note: big mistake eating that, but do any of us ever really learn?)

Up next we had our first of two “ArieScope Princess Story-Time Readings” as adorable ArieScope intern Casey Hempel read best-selling author Joe Hill’s short story “Last Breath” which Hill had generously allowed us to read on the air as part of the benefit.  Casey did a phenomenal job reading the story and hearing a scary story read in Casey’s “Disney Princess” voice only made it all the more fun!  Think it’s easy to read 24 pages out loud in front of thousands of people and not make a ton of mistakes?  Try it sometime!  Casey did an incredible job.

When story-time was finished, musician and actor Brendon Small (METALOCALYPSE, HOME MOVIES) shared his career story with us which was fascinating to say the least.

Things really turned up a notch when musician/writer/jack-of-all-trades Jesse Snider (BAPTIZED BY FIRE, solo artist) and guitarist Ira Black (METAL CHURCH, WESTFIELD MASSACRE) blew us away with musical performances of Jesse’s song “Juggernaut” (“The Movie Crypt’s” theme song) and a cover of “Rooster” by ALICE IN CHAINS that would please even Layne Staley himself.  It just may have been one of the greatest performances of the entire weekend but there’s more to it that you DIDN’T see/hear!  You may have heard Jesse mention on-air that his wife Patty was expecting to give birth to their 4th child “any minute now” and… on Sunday while we were in the middle of our commentary for THE DEVIL’S REJECTS Jesse sent me a cell phone video FROM HIS CAR where Parker Pride Snider had just been born (right there in the car while stuck in traffic in on the 405!) as they were driving Patty to the hospital to give birth!!  INCREDIBLE!!!  Yes, a baby was born during the broadcast event this weekend and Parker Pride Snider and family are all healthy and doing incredibly well!  Honestly, Jesse’s performance on the program was just SO good that Parker couldn’t wait to join us in this world.  Insane.

Comedian/actor/director Dave Anthony (MARON, VEEP, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) joined us after that and gave us an extremely funny and incredibly insightful 2 hour interview that we will very likely be releasing as its own episode down the road.  ”Argh!  I’m a pirate!”  (You had to be there.)

In the most moving segment of the weekend broadcast, clairvoyant Marilyn Kapp sat down with us and an unexpected but incredibly awesome special guest (Joe’s father who passed away almost 7 years ago) joined us along with our dearly departed friend Dave Brockie (GWAR, HOLLISTON who passed away in 2014) who had a heartfelt message for the fans.  Again… you had to be there to believe it.  But tears were shed both in the ArieScope studio and in thousands of the homes around the world that were listening to this wonderful interview.  (Kicking yourself for missing it?  A) You should be and B) I told you so for weeks leading up to this!  Marilyn Kapp is legit!)

After our emotional visit with “the other side”, writer/director Bernard Rose joined us for a truly awesome CANDYMAN commentary in which we were (almost) speechless as he enlightened us with all kinds of stories and information about the making of the film.  (We’ll likely release this commentary again someday – it was that good.)  When Bernard left, actor Michael Gladis (MAD MEN, FEED THE BEAST) gave us a heartfelt 2 hour interview about his career that included terrific advice on how to not only handle but use career disappointments that are beyond your control in a positive way.  (Again… you might be hearing this interview as its own episode someday down the road as we feel it’s an important one for every listener to hear and Michael had never done the program before this event.)

We billed it as our “centerpiece event” and it definitely lived up to that label in spades as our GOONIES live reading was nothing short of spectacular.  Writer Chris Columbus gave us permission to read his never-before seen/heard early (and very different) version of his iconic screenplay and we assembled an incredible cast to read the script live and let “Goonies” all over the world hear a version of the story that would eventually become one of the most beloved films of all time.  Joined by Parry Shen (HATCHET 1-3, GENERAL HOSPITAL), Felicia Day (THE GUILD, SUPERNATURAL), Jonay Ray (again!), Joel David Moore (AVATAR, HATCHET), Deon Richmond (HATCHET, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE), Michael Gladis (again!), Felissa Rose (SLEEPAWAY CAMP), Deanna Rooney (HIDDEN AMERICA), Joe, myself, and our incredible narrator Nicholas Mennell (FRIDAY THE 13th 2009, HALLOWEEN 2007)… the reading was an insanely fun time.  Listeners were massively entertained by everyone’s wonderful performances and by just how different the early draft actually was from the final shooting script.  (No, this will not be re-broadcast.  You had to be there.)  Huge shout-out to Felissa Rose who stole the show with her interpretation of “Mama Fratelli” and had us all on the floor laughing!  Actress Anne Ramsey (may she rest in peace) would be so, so proud!

Musician Jason C. Miller (GODHEAD, solo artist) played us some truly amazing songs after that and we were sad to see him go as we could have listened to him sing forever!

Up next it was time for laughs (and laughs, and laughs, and laughs) as THE RESISTANCE improv group (including podcast favorite Derek Mears and the hilarious Kurt Scholler, Ryan Marsico, Justin Michael Terry, and Jason Murphy) improvised a hilarious Sci-Fi movie on the mics before our eyes and ears.  Again… you had to be there!

Our good friends directors Dave Parker (THE HILLS RUN RED) and Spooky Dan (the upcoming SLAY BELLS) dropped by to discuss the horror movies that made our childhood’s awesome (and to bring us donuts and soda!) before guitarist Ace Von Johnson (FASTER PUSSYCAT) joined us for an interview and a terrific musical performance where I joined him on singing the classic PUSSYCAT ballad “House Of Pain.”

ArieScope’s own Sarah Elbert (HATCHET 1-3, HOLLISTON) helped us usher in the sunrise with super fun tarot card readings for Joe, myself, Ace, and even Arwen!  Then Hitfix editor in chief and screenwriter Drew McWeeny (MASTERS OF HORROR, FEAR ITSELF) joined Joe and I for a geek-tastic commentary to John Carpenter’s THE THING – that yes, one day we will release as its own commentary episode for sure.  Props to Drew’s girlfriend Lisa who sent us some of the best brownies that we’ve ever tasted!  The sugar rush helped us keep going and the commentary was an absolute blast.

For our second “ArieScope Princess Story-Time Reading”, Casey Hempel read Clive Barker’s SCAPE GOATS- a disturbing story made extra awesome by Casey’s innocent and chipper voice and she once again absolutely killed it!  THANK YOU to Clive Barker who so generously gave us permission to read this wonderful story from BOOKS OF BLOOD Vol 3!

Writer Todd Farmer (JASON X, DRIVE ANGRY) joined us next.  Todd’s episode of “The Movie Crypt” is still one of the audience’s favorites almost 3 years later and his interview on the live broadcast was another one for the books that received tons of incredible feedback from listeners.  His daughter Izzie even drew Joe and I an awesome picture to say “thanks” for what we were doing to save dogs:

Up next was a commentary for FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) with legendary master of horror, writer/director Tom Holland.  Tom shared so many incredible stories that Joe and I had never heard before about the making of one of our favorite movies and his insight on the business (then and now) was priceless.  He was amazing!  Right as Tom left, filmmaker Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW 2-4, REPO! THE GENETIC ROCK OPERA) and writer Clint Sears (TALES OF HALLOWEEN) joined us to discuss filming in Japan and their upcoming Japanese series CROW’S BLOOD.  As always, Bousman pulled no punches and the conversation was incredibly honest, compelling, and insightful.  Darren’s episode of “The Movie Crypt” is one that we consider a turning point for the podcast and the moment where it became the show that it is today.  His interview during the live marathon was once again one of the best.

For our final commentary of the weekend, genre icons Sid Haig and Bill Moseley joined us to discuss the making of THE DEVIL’S REJECTS.  They were both incredible and full of information (Sid did a great job continuing to speak even as Arwen smothered him with dog kisses the entire time as apparently Sid Haig tastes great!) and this is yet another must-hear entry in our “Movie Crypt” commentary series thanks to the artists’ terrific insight coupled with the unbridled love of the film that Joe and I share.  Perhaps we’ll release as its own episode someday.

So what do you do for a grand finale in a weekend this unreal?  I’d like to think that we found a way- and judging by the overwhelming fan response it looks like we did.  We finished with a live reading of a new episode of HOLLISTON (from the upcoming 3rd season) performed by the cast.  Joe and I were joined by our cast mates Laura Ortiz, Corri English, and Paul Solet while director Sean Becker read the narration/exposition.  (Sadly, Dee Snider was in Germany performing with TWISTED SISTER or else he would have been there with us.)  The reading was extra special as it marked the first time that our cast has performed an actual new full-episode together since the tragedies of 2014 when we lost our dear brother Dave Brockie.  As I stated in the days leading up to it, no- this reading will not be rebroadcast.  It was meant to be something special to raise money for the Yorkie Rescue (and boy, did it- as we received more donations during the HOLLISTON reading than any other event of the weekend!) and we don’t want to spoil an episode for too many fans this far in advance.  So if you were listening- you heard it.  If you missed it – you’ll just have to keep waiting until you eventually get to SEE it.  (And like I said on the broadcast- for those fans who heard it… shhh!  Don’t spoil anything on-line as the episode we chose to read revealed answers to several cliff-hangers from the end of Season 2!)

We ended with a final phone call to Marilyn Faughner who expressed her deep and heartfelt appreciation to us, to our guests, and to everyone who donated and made this the biggest and greatest fundraiser that SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE has ever had.

As exhausted as we all were- in a weird way it was very emotional to stop the broadcast and acknowledge to ourselves that it was over.  A year in the making, 3 months of incredibly hard work in the planning, and 48 hours of fun, laughs, tears, and NO-SLEEP… Joe and I were simply overwhelmed by the end.  The best way I can describe it is like the end of SCHINDLER’S LIST where Oskar Schindler is sobbing and saying “I could have saved more… if I had made more money… I could have saved more.”  Yes, we were delirious from lack of sleep and all of the energy we had put out over the weekend, but no matter how much we had raised it was never going to feel like it was enough.  We were both a wreck by that point.

Now that we’ve had a chance sleep (a little) we’re both just… thankful.  Thankful of everyone who donated.  Thankful of every artist who appeared on the show.  Thankful of everyone at GeekNation who helped us pull this event off (especially our engineer Ryan Plume who was here in person almost the entire time).  Thankful of Fireback Movies who sponsored the event (and who’s ap is one that we both personally love and play often – download it today).  Thankful of ArieScope’s interns Casey Hempel and Austin Bosley who stayed with us around the clock and who helped us out so, so much.  Thankful that there are people out there like SAVE A YORKIE RESCUE who have dedicated their lives to helping these wonderful dogs in need.  Thankful for each other.  And of course… thankful for “Arwen” who is truly the one who inspired all of this.

If you listen to the podcast then you know all about “The Steven Tyler Congratulations” that we always close with each week.  If you know the story then you can only imagine what this tweet from Mr. Tyler meant to us…

I mean… wow.

To everyone who listened and donated- you have my eternal appreciation, love, and respect.  Perhaps you listened but didn’t donate for whatever reason… don’t worry, I still love you, too.  Most of all- to the dozens of artists who took the time to come and share their voices and talents with us… it’s moments like these that make all of this career’s hard times and bullshit worth it.  Together we did something really, really good.  We stayed awake all weekend and we got through it!  It was hard work- but tonight there are a whole bunch of beautiful dogs sleeping peacefully, safe, un-afraid, and dreaming of the forever family that’s just around the corner somewhere… waiting to love them.  And trust me, those dogs are going to give that love back in ways that those people can’t even imagine yet.

Let’s do it again next year, OK?  Until then, remember… sometimes it’s all truly worth it.  And to my dear Arwen… you carried me and saved me when I needed it most. This was all for you.

Burns: Turkoglu trade fixes an unnecessary mistake

It happens more often than I care to admit. An impulse buy. A pair of gym shorts at Target. A new traveler coffee mug from Starbucks. And the minute I get home I realize I’ve wasted my money. Didn’t need it. Didn’t really want it. Got five just like it.

I’ve never been afraid to take it back to the store and return it, often times in the same day.

That’s what the Suns just did with Hedo Turkoglu. It was an impulse purchase. Buyer’s remorse set in and they returned him to the store.

Between that subtraction and the addition of a young, skilled big man in Marcin Gortat it feels like a good deal. It feels like a cause worth celebrating and at some level I suppose you should. They’re weren’t satisfied to live with a mistake and worked quickly to correct it.

But that’s where my analogy falls apart because when I return a pair of gym shorts to Target it costs me nothing but the time it takes to drive back to the store.

In the Suns case it cost them Jason Richardson. And while some balance has been restored they still traded a plate of wings for a plate of wings (Turkoglu/Richardson for Carter/Pietrus). For me, though, the problem runs deeper than that. When I look at Saturday’s trade, I think about Steve Kerr.

It is perfectly fair to wonder if the Suns would have had to work so hard to undo the Turkoglu mistake had Kerr been around to not make it in the first place. Not keeping Kerr was unexpected and vastly disappointing; this latest trade simply reflects that. To make all the decisions that had to be made this summer – letting Amar’e Stoudamire walk and instead spending a huge wad of cash on Turkoglu, Josh Childress and Hakim Warrick – without an experienced NBA GM at the helm defies logic.
And oh by the way, guess who is calling his first Suns game for TNT on Thursday night? Welcome back Steve Kerr.

Time will tell if Lon Babby and Lance Blanks will develop into front office types the way Kerr did. Babby referred to the Turkoglu trade as a “noble experiment.” Personally, I would classify it a “bad guess.”

Either way, this past off-season deserved better than an experiment or a guess. It needed a plan and the Suns didn’t have one.

While the Suns organization deserves credit for showing the willingness to admit their mistake, perhaps it was one that could have – should have – been avoided in the first place.

Cardiac ‘Cats renew rivalry with Duke

The Cardiac ‘Cats are back.

The fifth seeded Arizona Wildcats (29-7) have returned to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years in the most dramatic of fashion.

The men from Tucson escaped from Tulsa needing a last second Derrick Williams block of Wesley Witherspoon to sneak past Memphis 77-75 and a three point play with nine seconds remaining to outlast Texas 70-69 in a game that featured four ties and two lead changes in the final three minutes.

The Wildcats will face the defending champion and number one seeded Duke Blue Devils (32-4) on Thursday in Anaheim with tip being set for 6:45pm PT.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller knows the Wildcats’ work has just begun, but he hinted that his team would not be awed by the Blue Devils

“They [Duke] have a lot of talent, a great coach, defense is terrific, but it’s their effort level that they play at that sometimes can catch you off guard,” he said.

“We’ve played Kansas on a neutral court, and this point in time, just beating Texas, I don’t really look at our team with having a problem with being star-struck. I also know that we respect Duke tremendously, as well we should.”

The Blue Devils, who won the ACC regular season and tournament championships, clearly deserve the respect to which Miller previously alluded.

Led by head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who earned win number 900 when his team defeated Michigan in nail-biter in the round of 32, is just two wins shy of Bobby Knight’s all-time record, which is in reach as the Blue Devils are loaded with talent.

Duke senior guard Nolan Smith, a 2011 Naismith finalist, received over 97 percent of the votes for ACC player of the year and was the only unanimous All-ACC first team selection, while finding a spot on the ACC All-Defensive team was icing on the cake. Senior forward Kyle Singler joins his teammate on the All-ACC first team as well. Both Smith and Singler are also finalists for the 2011 John Wooden award.

Krzyzewski, though, knows that winning is paramount, not individual accolades.

“Our players are all about winning. The guys I have coached here, individual honors they’ve gotten a lot of them, but none of them have played for individual honors. These guys will hang their hat on winning a national championship last year,” he said.

The Blue Devils are bolstered by freshman guard Kyrie Irving, who returned in Duke’s first NCAA matchup against Hampton after missing 26 games with a toe injury. Irving was averaging over 17 points a game in the first month of the season and had 14 and 11 in wins over Hampton and Michigan, respectively.

There is good news for Arizona, however, as the Wildcats arrive in Anaheim as hot as any other team remaining in the national tournament.

Arizona’s last three games in the postseason have come down to the wire, with the Wildcats earning a victory in the last two. In the regular season the Wildcats had another pair of heart stoppers. Arizona survived the Cal Bears 107-105 on the road in February, needing three overtimes and Lamont “MoMo” Jones’ career-high 27 points. Later that same month the Wildcats escaped the Washington Huksies 87-86 thanks to a monster block of Darnell Gant by Williams. Those same Huskies broke the hearts of Wildcat nation as Isiah Thomas sank a buzzer beater in overtime to defeat Arizona 77-75 in the 2011 Pac-10 tournament championship game.

While the rollercoaster ride in Wildcat land marches on, one thing has stayed true: Derrick Williams is there when needed.

Williams, the Pac-10 Player of the Year and Naismith award semi-finalist, has been spectacular. Williams is averaging just under 20 points a game on the season and in the tournament, while getting to the line 24 times in the last two games.

While Williams may fly under the national radar, coach Krzyzewski will not be fooled.

“He’s got to be a first team All American, I don’t know how he doesn’t get the publicity,” Krzyzewski said as his team left Durham for Anaheim.

Arizona is getting contributions from all sides, and that has played a huge factor in keeping them in the hunt for the school’s fifth Final Four appearance all-time.

“We’ve been a true team in every sense of the word, and that’s where our success should be credited. We’ve played ten players in every game this season. We’ve played 11 in quite a few more. The guys who come off the bench who don’t start are just as important to our success,” Miller said.

Wildcat freshman guard Jordin Mayes is coming off a career night against Texas where he scored 16 points while connecting on all four of his three point attempts. In fact, Mayes has not missed a trey in the NCAA Tournament.

“Jordin played with incredible poise this past weekend. It wasn’t just his shooting, but it was his overall play that helped spearhead this team to the Sweet Sixteen,” Miller said.

Solomon Hill is averaging over 11 points a game in the tournament, well over his season average of eight. Hill added spark to Mayes as he dropped 16 points to go along with eight rebounds against Texas.

Duke holds a 4-3 advantage over Arizona all-time and will enter the eighth contest as a 10-point favorite. The last time these teams met a national championship was on the line. Duke, led by tournament Most Outstanding Player Shane Battier, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Jason Williams, went on to win the 2001 national championship 82-72 in Minneapolis. Arizona was led by double-doubles from Loren Woods (22pts./11reb.) and Michael Wright (10pts./11reb.), while Richard Jefferson scored 14 of his 19 in the second half in a losing effort.

Keep up with Armagh i

Work to start next month on £2m state-of-the-art Irish centre in Armagh

Directors hail "strong community support" for project

Work will start next month on the new £2 million Irish language cultural centre at the site of the former fire station in Armagh.

It is expected to take a year to complete and comes after a decade of planning and preparation.

The Aonach Mhacha Capital Project was officially launched on Friday at the site of the new development at the Shambles.

Director Gearóid Ó Machail told Armagh I the state-of-the-art centre will be a “beacon for cross-community and cross-cultural understanding”.

It is the culmination of years of voluntary effort, mutual cooperation and widespread community support which has finally borne fruit, according to those leading the project.

The announcement comes as a contract is due to be awarded for the demolition of the former fire station in the Shambles and the subsequent erection of the new facility for speakers and learners of Irish.

The project is sponsored by the Department for Communities who are providing the majority of funding for the project with additional funding and loan capital also coming from Ciste Infheistíochta Gaeilge, Ulster Community Investment Trust, ABC Council, Iontaobhas Ultach, Naíscoil Ard Mhacha, CAIRDE Teo and Gael Linn.

It was in 2008 that Aonach Mhacha Director Gearóid Ó Machail – then employed as a Neighbourhood Renewal Development Officer with Armagh City and District Council – organised a public meeting in the Market Place Theatre.

The idea was to gauge the level of support for a dedicated Irish language centre in the historic conservation area of the ancient capital of Ulster.

He told Armagh I : “It was a very vague concept at the time and the meeting was arranged in response to the rapidly growing numbers of families in Armagh who were enrolling their children in Irish medium education.

“The demand for services in Irish was on a definite upward trajectory and a number of organisations and individuals were attempting to meet the need with little or no statutory support.

“The response to that meeting was overwhelming and, in consultation with my close friend and colleague Réamonn Ó Ciaráin, Regional Manager of Gael Linn, we decided it was high time that Armagh City had its very own ‘cultúrlann’  – Irish language and cultural centre.”

A range of services were envisaged for the new centre including classrooms, craft studios, performance and exhibition space, a gift shop and café, conference rooms, culturall enterprise incubation units, a media suite and a day care facility for children and families.

“This has remained the core of the concept throughout,” added Mr Ó Machail.

“Eventually a site was identified that was deemed perfect for the new centre. The derelict fire station building had long been an eyesore and a blight on the landscape of the west of the city. The site was located within Armagh Neighbourhood Renewal Area and at the gateway to the historic conservation area of the city.

“It was also strategically located directly on the tourist trail between the two cathedrals, next to the North South Ministerial Council and close to schools, shops and other services.”

Help came initially from Newry and Mourne Enterprise and Cooperative Agency through their Social Entrepreneurship Programme. Backing quickly followed from the then Department for Culture Arts and Leisure and Ciste Infheistíochta Gaeilge, and a strong business case for the proposed cultural centre was developed with assistance from senior economists in the Department of Finance.

A local design team was contracted, comprising Smyth Surveying Ltd and DA Architects Ltd.

Said Mr Ó Machail: “The arduous process of obtaining the site, planning permission and relevant statutory approvals was set in train. The catalyst eventually came in 2015 with the decision of the Department for Communities to act as project sponsor and the agreement of the funders to increase their contributions in order to get the project across the line

“And, finally, here we are. The contractors will be on site in December and the duration of the construction phase is anticipated to be approximately 12 months.

“When completed, the new Aonach Mhacha Cultúrlann will be a major addition to the local community, creating dedicated social space for Irish speakers, generating new jobs and enterprises and contributing to the evening and night time economy with a full programme of events throughout the year.”

There has been a great deal of interest in the project and those involved have been buoyed by the level of support which has been shown, evident at the launch on Friday.

Mr Ó Machail added: “We welcome the strong community support on show here today from all sides of the community for this ground-breaking project, which is vindication of the voluntary efforts and sacrifices made by my colleagues and I in bringing the project to fruition.

“Aonach Mhacha will be a beacon for cross-community and cross-cultural understanding in our unique and historic city for many years to come.”

World's Largest All-glass Underwater Restaurant

An underwater restaurant named 5.8 at the Hurawalhi Island Resort in the Maldives is reportedly World's largest all-glass underwater restaurant. The restaurant takes its name from the depth (5.8 metres - 19 ft.) at which it is located in a lagoon. It is accessed by a narrow spiral stair case and offers a fantastic view of the corals and colourful fishes down below.

The glass structure made from of 15 cm thick glass was was manufactured in New Zealand. It took two years to built it and it was shipped in one entire piece, then lowered into the lagoon with a special crane. It costed about USD 8 Millions. With an area of 90 square meters it caters to 20 persons. To keep the glass spotlessly clean professional divers clean the outside twice daily.

Unique Building - Built Over Two Bridges

The Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) of Bamberg, Germany not only has beautiful architecture but it is also unique as it has been built over two bridges.

The reason for siting the town hall at such a location was dispute between citizens and the bishop of the town. The bishop who owned most of land in the town didn't allow town hall to be built of his lands, so the mayor decided to create an artificial island in the River Regnitz and constructing the the town hall on the two bridges and the artificially created island. These two bridges namely Obere brücke (Upper bridge) and Untere brücke (Lower bridge) were not owned by the bishop.

The original town hall built in the period between years 1461 and 1467 and its design was mainly influenced by the Gothic architecture. In years 1744 to 1756 its exterior was modified to Baroque/Rococo styles and in the year 1755 paintings were added to its facade. The eye-catching half-timbered extension over the Upper bridge was added in 1688 for use as the residence of the Corporal of the guards (Rottmeisterhäuschen).

The town hall now houses Ludwig Collection - one of the largest collections of porcelain in Europe.

777) Swiss FM lays wreath at monument to Armenian "genocide"

Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey laid a wreath earlier this week at a monument dedicated to the killings of Anatolian Armenians during World War I, which her country recognizes as genocide.

Calmy-Rey laid the wreath in Yerevan during a meeting on Monday with her Armenian counterpart, said the Armenian Foreign Ministry in a statement.

The Swiss lower house of parliament in December 2003 recognized the killings as genocide, angering Turkey and prompting Ankara to cancel an official visit by the Swiss foreign minister.

When Calmy-Rey finally visited Turkey in March 2005 she called on Ankara to undertake an in-depth investigation into the issue.

Armenians claim up to 1.5 million of their kin were slaughtered in orchestrated killings during the latter years of the Ottoman Empire. Turkey categorically rejects the claims, saying 300,000 Armenians and at least as many Turks died in civil strife when the Armenians took up arms for independence in eastern Anatolia and sided with Russian troops invading Ottoman soil.

New Yorkers are in for a treat next month (September 12th) as José Parlá will be returning for another showing (see 20112013) at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. IN MEDIA RES will the second solo with the showspace from the Brooklyn-based artist after a joint exhibition with JR last year. The new body of work will reflect on Parla’s life, beginning from his childhood on through the present day which includes his extensive travels around the world. Featuring paintings, sculptures and a large-scale mural installation, the pieces will all reflect his study of urban landscapes and surfaces along with his storytelling through the form of calligraphy.

“In conjunction with the exhibition, Damiani will publish a new monograph, IN MEDIAS RES, with essays by Dieter Buchart, Lara Pan, and Bryce Wolkowitz. The volume is the artist’s most comprehensive survey to date, spanning the artist’s earliest sketchbooks to his current international projects and exhibitions.”

14 Months

Hannah Kate is 14 months old and full of fun!

Diaper Size: 4

Weight: March 9 (RSV clinic): 9.59 kg 21 pounds 2 ounces--she hasn't been to the doctor since then, so I have no idea! She's heavy!

Clothing Size: 9-12 months-she can wear some 12-18 month things, but most are still too big

Food Fun: Hannah Kate is getting better about eating more table food. She normally will not eat meat, but in the last month she has added City BBQ (Uncle Rick & Aunt Bonnie's restaurant), hot dogs (Uncle Rick said he felt honored until I told him that!), and Nana's meatloaf to her food likes! I seriously could not feed her the meatloaf fast enough. I'm going to try to make some little meatloaf muffins and freeze them for her since she liked it so much. She still loves bananas, grapes, blueberries, mandarin oranges, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and yogurt. She's really into fruit lately. She's also tried ice cream sandwiches (getting a bite from Mommy or Daddy's and she loves them-who wouldn't!)
She got some new sippy cups with a "soft" hard spout in her Easter basket, and she's doing great with them! (We are trying to transition to the regular hard spouts eventually.)

Newest Tricks:
~waving at tractors, trucks, cars, random people in the store-she's VERY enthusiastic about this, she really likes to wave when she hears a diesel engine-imagine that in the Wal-Mart parking lot
~standing up for longer periods of time
~"love the baby"-she holds the baby doll (or the imaginary baby doll) in the arms, and says "Aaawwwwwwww" because when we say it we say, "Awww, love the baby"
~identify cow, dog (both of those pretty consistently), horse, and sheep from her Apologetics Press Creation Cards
~she took one, tiny, unassisted step this week.....I ran to grab the camera and then videoed her sitting down or falling down 100 times.

Things Hannah Kate LOVES:
~Swinging in her swing-she has a complete meltdown most times when we get her out. We've had to start really giving her cues that she is about to stop. I even stop her swing and then have her say/sign "all done" swinging before I take her out.
~Swinging on the porch swing-she waves to the tractor in the barn beside our house (even when no one is on it, near it, etc.)
~Tractors!!! She is Daddy's girl! Since she watched Wesley on the tractor one day, she is ALL about tractors! Both of our dads got new (to them) John Deeres within a week of each other. Papa's arrived Friday-Hannah Kate has already ridden on it twice. The first time, we rode down the road and back and she waved the entire time. When she sees a picture of a tractor, she waves at it!
~Cows-she moos at every real live cow, every picture of a cow, and every stuffed cow she sees! (including pointing at my shirt and mooing yesterday morning because there was a cow on my shirt)
~Being outside-yesterday she cried when I took her from the car to the house (the garage door was open).
~When Daddy gets home-I told Wesley when she was tiny that I couldn't wait until he came home from work and she was excited. Last week, we were sitting on the porch swing when he turned onto our road and she started waving and squealing! She is definitely excited when he comes home.

Things Hannah Kate Does Not Love:
~changing clothes, diaper, or putting on pajamas
~having her hands or face washed off after eating
~real mandarin oranges-I bought a bag of them thinking they would be healthier and cheaper than the kind that are packaged (even though they are in 100% juice) and she will have nothing to do with them-the texture is different from the packaged ones.
~having a hairbow in her hair-unless she is distracted, she is trying to take it out!
~leaving her swing or the outside

~Papa, Pa (always in a whisper)
~hi, hey (usually in a squeal!)
~moo (at every single live, stuffed, or picture of a cow she sees)
~ru ru ..... ruff ruff -the first time she did this, I was getting her out of the car at Nana and Papa's and Blue was barking so she was barking back. She now does this anytime she sees a dog or hears a dog bark (even if we are outside and you can't see the barking dog)
~bye bye-she's said something for bye bye before, but this week it has become VERY clear and distinct and she says it for about 5 minutes after the person is already gone :)
~uh oh
~ou-si .... outside, I promise she said this today. We had been standing at the door going into the garage talking to Wesley and we came back to change her diaper. She had a complete, sobbing meltdown. I asked, "Do you want to go outside?" and did the sign for outside and she said "ou si!!!" I am sure she will never do this again! ha!
~still says: /b/ for anything she wants to eat.... /b/ /s/ is snack, /u/ for up, /a/ (loudly) for amen and she says it the entire time I am saying the prayer at the end of Bible time (she knows she can get up when I saw amen), more

~more, baby, all done
