[KK] Rip Jackblack!!!

Author Comments

RIP Jack Black I loved you like a dad.

Early life

Black was born in California, the son of two satellite engineers, Judith (née Cohen) and Thomas William Black; his mother worked on the Hubble Space Telescope.[1] Jack Black's mother is Jewish and his father converted to Judaism;[2][3] Black was thus raised Jewish.[4] On The Tonight Show he said his surname may come from the Scottish occupational name Blacksmith.[5] His parents divorced when he was 10. Jack Black had a Bull Mastiff and Rottweiler mix named Chico. Chico died of parvovirus soon after Jack's parents divorced. Black moved to Culver City with his father and frequently visited his mother's home until the end of his first year of college at UCLA when his father's family moved to France. As a child, Black appeared in an early Atari Pitfall! commercial,[6] which was later shown during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and again on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

When he entered high school, his parents suggested that he should transfer to the Poseidon School, a private secondary school engineered specifically for students struggling in the traditional school system.[7] Black eagerly accepted the proposition, afraid that he would only be bullied if he remained in public school.

He also attended the Crossroads School, where he excelled in drama. Black later attended UCLA but dropped out during his sophomore year to pursue a career in the entertainment business, at which point his father discontinued his financial support. Fellow UCLA veteran Tim Robbins later cast Black in Bob Roberts. He also had recurring roles on the HBO sketch comedy series Mr. Show.
Acting career

Black's acting career began with primetime TV. He played roles on several shows such as: The Golden Palace (Taxi Driver), Life Goes On (skinhead), Northern Exposure (Kevin Wilkins, prom king), HBO's Mr. Show, and Picket Fences (Curtis Williams). In a Season 3 episode of The X-Files, titled "D.P.O.", Black played Bart 'Zero' Liquori, friend to Darren, a teen who could cause lightning strikes, played by Giovanni Ribisi. Black appeared in an un-aired pilot episode for a show directed by Ben Stiller called Heat Vision and Jack where he played an ex-astronaut pursued by actor Ron Silver. He was accompanied by his friend who had merged with a motorcycle, voiced by Owen Wilson.

Black later took on small roles in Airborne, Demolition Man, Waterworld, The Neverending Story III, The Cable Guy, Bob Roberts, Mars Attacks!, The Jackal, Bye Bye Love, Jesus' Son, Dead Man Walking, Saving Silverman, Enemy of the State, and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. In High Fidelity, he was cast in the role of Barry, the pretentious co-worker to John Cusack's record store owner, which garnered him more exposure.

His career soon led to leading roles in films such as Shallow Hal, Orange County, School of Rock, Envy, Be Kind Rewind, King Kong, and Kung Fu Panda. Black starred in two films in 2006: Nacho Libre, in which he played a Mexican friar following his childhood dream of wrestling and pursuing true victory by fighting for the children of an orphanage, and Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny, a fictionalized account of the band's formation and their quest to obtain a "supranatural" guitar pick. Nacho Libre opened on June 16, 2006; Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny was released November 22, 2006.

He starred alongside Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Winslet in The Holiday, in which he played Miles, the love interest of Winslet's character. In 2007 Black starred in Margot at the Wedding, opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nicole Kidman, released November 16, 2007.
Comedic style

Black's comedic style combines many key elements from both sides of the traditional double act. Black typically begins a skit in which he presents an earnest introduction to a premise or subject that quickly reveals itself to be flawed or fundamentally ludicrous. Black then switches completely to a far-extreme caricature of human emotion.

He's not dead you fucking disgrace

kitty krew.... GRAWR!!! >=(

He is not dead!

He has never died and plus, how did u come up with this f****** lie!

You always have brilliant work but this game was outstanding on a whole new level. I Think I must have completed it like 10 times or so I kept going to unlock all the henchmen and patsies etc. The names were very funny so its worth the wait. The moon base is hands down the most defensible base in the game so anyone playing the game for the first time go for that. I'm not really sure what constructive criticism i might offer other than that I wish it would have been longer because it was just that good! More weapons in the game would have been cool possibly tanks, jeeps, and helicoptors for the mastermind's army. Perhaps a more involved directors cut that would be awesome i'm willing to wait as long as it takes!

All IDC members in State Senate are facing Democratic primaries

Members of the State Senate work on budget

ALBANY — The governor’s race isn’t the lone crucial Democratic primary on Sept. 13 in New York.

Eight renegade state Senate Democrats are fighting for their political lives in contests that will have a lot to say, not only about the direction of the party, but also control of the State Senate.

Here are five things to know about the upcoming Senate primaries and the Independent Democratic Conference:

The IDC began in 2011 with four breakaway members who said the mainline Democrats had become dysfunctional.

Later, the IDC formed a governing coalition with Republicans to allow the GOP to keep control of the Senate, even though Democrats had won a numerical majority in the 2012 elections.

“The time has come for coalition government,” Sen. Jeff Klein (D-Bronx), IDC leader, told reporters in 2012 after announcing the partnership that would keep the GOP in control but give Klein some say in legislation and a better chance to deliver state aid to his conference’s members’ districts.

The IDC eventually grew to eight members. Six were New York City-based, the other two upstate. None were from Long Island.

New recruits said the group got results. They claimed a role in getting the Senate to back an increased minimum wage, among other issues. One member, Sen. Diane Savino (D-Staten Island), led the drive to legalize medical marijuana. They also received more lucrative Senate committee posts and stipends than other Democrats.

A move to oust the breakaway senators at the 2014 state Democratic convention failed. But the internal party pressure grew significantly after the election of President Donald Trump. The IDC officially disbanded in April, but it was too late for many who criticized the IDC-Republican alliance.

Four former IDC members have been especially targeted by activists and are seen as the most vulnerable:

Klein, Sens. Jose Peralta (D-Jackson Heights), Jesse Hamilton (D-Brooklyn) and Marisol Alcantara (D-Bronx).

“No IDC,” a progressive group, is spending money targeting the four with digital ads.

Want more evidence? U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand recently endorsed the challengers in those four races: Alessandra Biaggi (who is taking on Klein), Robert Jackson (Alcantara), Zellnor Myrie (Hamilton) and Jessica Ramos (Peralta). And New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson endorsed the same four.

The challengers are portraying these primaries in the same light as progressives vs. centrists, new wave vs. establishment fights that not only marked the Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton battle for the party’s 2016 presidential nomination but also Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ stunning upset of Rep. Joseph Crowley in June.

Further, Ocasio-Cortez’ win changed the challengers’ outlook on their own chances.

The IDC is an issue in the gubernatorial primary, too.

Cynthia Nixon has bashed Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for tacitly supporting the renegade faction, part of her criticism that the incumbent is a “fake Democrat” who isn’t sufficiently progressive.

Before 2018, Cuomo repeatedly said he was powerless to force the IDC to return to the Democratic fold, saying it was a legislative matter. He also criticized the mainline Dems as being out of touch with suburban voters. He reversed himself earlier this year, pulling the IDC back into the fold, saying it was important for Democrats to unite to fight President Trump’s agenda.

Bears release McDonald after

domestic violence arrest

The Chicago Bears released defensive end Ray McDonald following a domestic violence arrest in Northern California that police say stemmed from him assaulting a woman who was holding a baby. Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke said McDonald was taken into custody at 7 a.m. yesterday on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment. The Bears released a statement about the decision to let McDonald go. "We believe in second chances, but when we signed Ray we were very clear what our expectations were if he was to remain a Bear," general manager Ryan Pace said. "He was not able to meet the standard and the decision was made to release him."

Walking dead in Romania: as authorities reject man’s claim of being alive

Walking dead in Romania: as authorities reject man’s claim of being alive

Walking dead in Romania: as authorities reject man’s claim of being alive

Written by Nathasha De Alwis

17 Mar, 2018 | 5:52 pm

Constantin Reliu a 63-year old returned home to Romania after more than 20 years of working in Turkey only to learn that his wife had had him officially registered as dead.

He states that he has been living a legalistic nightmare trying to convince and prove the authorities that he is, in fact, alive.

Constantin has faced a major setback on Thursday (March 15) when a courthouse in the North-Eastern city of Vaslui refused to overturn his death certificate because his request was filed “too late”.

According to the court, the decision is final and cannot be changed.

Reliu told Foreign Media that he is a “living Ghost” and that he is “officially dead even though I am alive”.

During the interview Constantin Reliu has been deeply emotional, starting off by saying “I think I am going to cry” and going on to voice rage and a desire for revenge against his wife, who now lives in Italy.

He explained that he went off to work in Turkey in 1992 and returned in 1995 to the first big shock of his marriage, his wife’s infidelity.

In 1999 he has decided to return to work in Turkey for good. Foreign media states that they were not able to locate Reliu’s wife to hear her side of the story.

Last year (2017) Turkish authorities have detained him over expired papers and in January this year (2018), he was deported to Romania.

When his flight landed at Bucharest airport, he was informed by border officials that he had been officially declared dead and had to undergo six hours of interrogation.

After the six-hour-long interrogation, the officials comparing his details to his passport details, questioning and checking his fingerprints has come to a decision that it is him.

Authorities in Barlad have failed to convince themselves of the truth, therefore, he spent weeks trying to persuade them to issue his papers so that he officially can “exist”.

When that failed, he asked them to overturn the ruling on his death certificate which was issued in 2016, which also ended in failure on procedural grounds.

According to Reliu, he would like to file a fresh lawsuit but has no money and suffers from diabetes, which makes it, even more, harder for him to survive.

Further, he stated that he has been banned for life from returning to Turkey but would like to write to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to appeal the decision.

MELL BROOKS Secretary, Blytheville Chamber of Commerce The Retail Trade Census for 1939, released for publication today, by the U. S. Department of Commerce Bureau of The Census, offers some interesting 1 figures and studies showing the trend of retail business in Arkansas during the past ten year period. reports afford the citizen an op- oortunity to weigh their communities ngainst others in the stnt^ and giia^e their progress by that of others. From the standpoint of Blytheville, the report is most Intcrest- ine because it reveals Blytheville still maintains its position as the lending business community In Arkansas (with a population of more Mian 10.000 people) and to improve that position very materially. Figures -sometime mnke dry reading, but these will appeal to Blythc-I ville people, we believe: There are nine cities in Arkansas in the 10,000 and over population clnss. During the period 1929-1939 only TWO of those cities registered a gain in retail business—these being North Little Rock and Blytheville—and the other seven registered trade losses ranging from four to thirly one per cent, with the loss for the state as a whole registering 27 per cent. Blytheville gained during-that period to the extent of G per cent. For the period 1935-1939. the increase for the state was 25 per cent, with Blythevillc leading the way with an increase of 59 per cent in volume, as compared with increases for the other eight cities over 10.000 ranging from 22 to 42 per cent. These comparisons stand out more glaringly when broken down to a per capita basis for 1939 and compared to a per capita trade as shown by the 1935 reports. Taking the cities in their rank in per capita trade, Blytheville leads all others with a figure of $712 as compared to the next high of $594. The following table shows Blytheville was the ninth city in size, ranked ninth in total sales and second in per capita sales at the last report. Today. Blytheville is the ninth in size, ranks seventh in totnl sales and first 'In per capita sales by a wide margin. Another interesting feature of the report is that the number of stores in Blytheville increased on about the same proportion as did the number in the other cities in our class, nlthough the 'nclnnl Increase in people living in Blytheville proner was less than in any of the other cities. This comparison would scpm to indicate that: the nverage Blytheville store profited from nn increase In business in excess of that in other communities in this group. In 1935 there were 573 persons rmployed in Blytheville .stores as compared to 73G in the last report Employee payroll wns $413,000 in 1935 ns compared to $500,000 in 1939. Various reasons are advanced as to why the per capita retail trade in Blytheville increased at the rate of $270 during this last period. There arc several factors which nre thought to be responsible for the jncrease, among which are extension of trade territory, increase in local payrolls, increase in production of cotton, soybeans, alfalfa, corn and other farm crops of which there is a salable surplus. Whatever the reasons for the remarkable record revealed for Blv- thevilie in these reports, they definitely establish the fact that Blytheville Is one of the nation's best small communities from the standpoint of retail trade. Comparing the, Blytheville trade reports with those from other communities and counties in Arkansas, it is found that of all the seventy five counties in the state there are only eight of which do as much retail business in the entire county as is done in the City of Blytheville alone. Wholesale trade reports are not yet available for publication but it is safe to predict that these reports will be in line with those of 1935 which placed Blytheville ahead of all Arkansas communities fin the 10.000 population class) in wholesale trade. Reasons Could Be Many; Urge Tell All' Talk WASHINGTON, Dec, 20. (UP)—More than 150 prominent Americans today jointly telegraphed their '''complete approval" of President Roosevelt's plan to lend or lease armaments to Great Britain. They also nskcd Mr. Roosevelt to inform the nation "clearly and boldly of the possibilities of English failure and of the consequences to VLS t\nd our children's children should Britain fall." The telegram wns signed by religious, business, professional and labor leaders as well as several editors, actors and educators. "We ask you to make It the settled policy of this country to de everything that may be necessary to Insure the defeat of the Axis powers and thus to encourage here und everywhere resistance to the plausible but fatal arguments of appeasement," the telegram stated. "We nsk you to tell us what we believe to be the truth that the materials of war and military and naval strength we now have and the implements we can now produce are enough to make certain the defeat of the Axis powers so long as Britain Ls on her feet fighting but that with Britain clown they arc not enough and may not in the future be increased enough •to hold the whole world at bay." A telegram declared that "ignorance and lethargy and disbelief" are blinding U. S. citizens to our own peril and said that 'this condition "must be.swept away before it Is too late." "There may be only a little time left," the telegram said.. "You,'led us splendidly during the'critical clays of late spring arfd early fall. We ask you to give us the same splendid leadership now." Works On Speech WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (UP)— President Roosevelt dispensed with all appointments today nnd began intensive work on his Sunday night address to the nation which, it was said, will-be clear and specific ribout aid to Britain but will contain no figures which "other governments might like to have." White House Secretary Stephen Early said Mr. Roosevelt had ordered his appointment list held to "must" callers for the next several days. George L.

(UP)— A lone Nazi bomber broke the unofficial Christmas air struce today as British troops, at double force, stood guard on Britain's coasts against any invasion surprise and reports of large scale German troop movements troubled the Balkans. The air ministry reported that 11 single German plane this afternoon dropped bombs on the Isle of Sheppey. The attack caused little damage and , no casualties, the ministry reported, adding that they had no other news of operations over Britain, Both British and German com- muniques reported nir activitv at n standstill until late today. There wns no indication when operations would roar back to full war pace. The 'British were taking no chances. Coastal defenses were manned ni; full scale. Weather was perfect for an invasion attempt nnd picked troops on 24 hour duty gunrded against a surprise assault. Traffic on British coastal highways was carefully controlled. In the Balkans there were fears that the war may spread. Th'ese fears were inspired by reports from Budapest that 300,000 to 500,000 German troops were on the move into Rumania. The purpose of so large a German trooo movement was not clecir but obviously It would increase Germany's weight and bargaining power in the area even if military operations were not launched from the Rumanian base. ' - f ., One theory was that " the' German" troops'would come'to the rescue of Italy's bogeed down troops in Albania .possibly by thrusting across Yugoslavia. Another was that the long suggested German move across Bulgaria into Thrace and toward Salonika might be imminent. Such a move presumably would bring Turkey into the war. A second theory apparently bas-' ed on increasing friction between Rumania and Russia was that the German troops would act as n counter weight against any new Soviet advance into Rumania or even move against Russia in the spring. "••-,:.. These suggestions, however, were completely speculative. Berlin had nothing to say about the troops. Sofia said none had come into Bulgaria and Istanbul said tlTe Turks were without information on the situation. :•" Negress Is Stabbed "^ Fatally Christmas Nig|t Charles James, 22. negro, fatally stabbed his Wife' with a. pocket knife Wednesday night and then made his get-away.
