Here is an archive of all the comics I've ‘reviewed’!

13-19 Why I like this comic

And on yet another installment of Why I like this comic, I present to you, for your review reading enjoyment, Danielle Dark. Now, I have always been a fan of the vampire, and I plan on becoming one someday (if it is a viable and reasonable form of immortality). So, I'm always going to look at a comic that has vampires involved in it. Most vampire comics leave something to be desired, but Danielle Dark is some classy stuff. It has a wonderful “pop-art” style, a gorgeous main character with amazing hair (Seriously, is that a benefit of becoming a vampire? Because, my hair needs some help.) Furthermore, it is excellently written and seems to have a great story to tell. So, go, my friends, grab your crosses and your garlic cloves, but they will do you no good. Just read Danielle Dark.

13-17 Why I like this comic.

Ah…Killing Demons. Perhaps it's a bit cliche, but there's nothing like a hot guy with long black hair in a nice suit dealing with (and often dispatching) demons of all sorts. The art in this comic is pretty fabulous and the story is quite compelling. Go on, check out Killing Demons, and don't forget your protective wards.

13-15 Why I like this comic.

Say the word “mythology” and you'll probably conjure up images of ancient greek gods or maybe even classic american folktales like Paul Bunyan, but lately I start to think of Hurrocks Fardel. Why? Because, it is one of those very few comics that has an amazingly detailed and well conceived mythology to back up a fabulously told story. The art is pretty fabulous, too. Go check it out, Hurrocks Fardel.

13-13 Why I like this comic.

Haven't done one of these in a while, have I? So here is Locoma! This comic is a strange one. I feel like, when I'm reading it, someone has opened up their brain and let me in to take a look. A very fun part of this comic is how the artist experiments with different styles, I think, almost each page. And it isn't annoying! It actually fits the theme of the comic quite nicely. Go figure! And go check out Locoma, won't you?

13-7 Why I like this comic.

Elder Star! You ever see that anime Slayers? Well, Elder Star is a lot like that, both in style and in subject. Cute, ambitious and powerful sorceress plus questionably intelligent, but highly skilled swordsman equals a rockin' good time! It's a very slick comic, highly amusing. If you don't read it, you'll probably be cursed by some unholy troll wizard magic or something, which would explain the boils……I really need to catch up with my reading of Elder Star.

13-5 Why I like this comic.

Almost forgot to do this! Well Echzeon. I have no idea what this word means, BUT what ever it is, tt is freakin' awesome. Actually, I think it's the name of the guy who leads the random army that's fighting something but I'm not sure for what exactly they are fighting. Though, at the moment they aren't so much fighting as they are still in training…still, there's a badass swordswoman with a mysterious past, great action sequences, awesome manga-ish art. It's basically just cool, and you should read it. Go forth and read Echzeon!

13-3 Why I like this comic.

Damn, I'm forgetting which comics I've already linked here. Ok, how's about Deadpill. AshleeS is a great artist, and I think she's only 14 or 15 years old too! That's pretty awesome in and of it self. The comic Deadpill is way cool. It's a bit of a love story, a bit of a morality tale (Be careful who or what you kill!), and a bit of an action story. There's some crazy supernatural stuffs going on here and a lot of mystery to match it. Seriously, think twice before you kill a spider, and also go read Deadpill.

13-1 Why I like this comic.

The Path is a gorgeous piece of work. Amazing inking skills, wonderfully creative, dark and twisted story that takes legends of all sorts and mixes'em all together to make something truly engrossing. As i've said before, I've got a soft spot for mythology, and this comic really takes it to a whole new level. Please go read The Path, because if you don't, I'm afraid the world will be doomed.

12-19 Why I like this comic.

Terran Sandz is way cool. I don't normally like aliens after a bad experience of watching the Alien movies as a young and impressionable youth, but this is an exception. The art is phenomenal, such a great retro feel. The story nice and not too convoluted, but with a nice dash of mystery, and the characters complex and designed with flair.
The robot overlords command you check out
Terran Sandz before they self-destruct.

12-17 Why I like this comic.

Deus Ex Machina is my kinda comic. I'm a big sucker for mythology, particularly of the Norse variety, and I'm a big sucker for fun, manga-styled comics. The art is very pleasing, the story totally fun, and…well, Loki. That about sums it up. I have a feeling this comic is going to good places in the future. The all mighty Thor highly suggests you visit Deus Ex Machina. Feel his thundery wrath!

12-15 Why I like this comic.

Try Everything Once is a super fun comic, with super fun art and super fun writing. Man, it's just really super fun. It's got aliens and fantasy and a rockin' cover-band. It's a comic with lots of style and flair, and a real intelligence to its comedy. Yeah, if you are looking for a good time call 555-Try Everything Once. Ask for Walter.

12-13 Why I like this comic.

I forget if I did one last for thursday's update. Anyway, le'see…right,you should go read God of Destruction because it has very nice art and a clever and sinister plot! It's a “chosen one” story that feels fresh and interesting with a nice bit of tragedy, depravity and conspiracy to spice it up! Indeed, you should go read God of Destrucion. I so command it!

12-9 Why I like this comic.

Too Bitter for Words and The Adventures of Castrating Bitch Girl. Too Bitter for Words contains many funny and super cynical comic strips and philosophical monologues, that'll definitely appeal to the depressed over-thinker within. Castrating Bitch Girl is a complete short story contained within the website that is absolutely marvelous. I think it would make for a great “independent” film. A very intense read that should definitely make you stop and think about your existence.
So, check it out, friends: The Adventures of Castrating Bitch Girl

12-7 Why I like this comic.

On yet another installment of “why I like this comic,” I bring you Akniatt. It is by Mina Lunga, who also currently does two other comics that I will get to at another time. I actually don't remember much about Akniatt, but when I think of it I'm left with the impression that it was brilliant. I also remember crying after finishing reading it. (Yes, it's a finished story.) It's that good. The writing is superb, she's a fabulous story teller, that Mina. I think just about every character is completely tragic, too. So, that's why I like this comic.
Go, go check it out. Akniatt

12-5 Why I like this comic.

Fated Feather! Why do I like it, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. It has an obviously epic and well conceived story, the art isn't the most professional but it has character and detail, and it actually fits the story. I feel like I'm reading an old manuscript of an ancient romance when I'm reading it. I also like it because I want to know what the heck is happening!
Go check it out, yo. Fated Feather

12-3 Why I like this comic.

On this week's installment, I give you Two Moons. Why do I like it? Well, the art is very interesting, brown/grey tones, very atmospheric. The characters are varied and complicated and the world they live in is almost as mysterious as they are. Also, the creator, Jenshin seems a very fun and nice person, who is very dedicated to her story - it definitely shows in the quality of the thing.
Go check out Two Moons, ye scurvy dogs.

12-1 Why I like this comic.
Starting NOW, I'm going to be giving a short review of a comic on my favorites list, I think one every week ought to be good. Although I have a recommended comics section on my homepage, I doubt many people click any of them cause they are just a list of unattractive blue letters on a grey background. And how many people are honestly going to the homepage first? Anyway, here's my first “why I like this comic.”

Nightmistress - I choose this one first because it's at the top of my favorites list as I type this as the most recently updated.

Why do I like this comic? It appeals to the goth highschooler in me. It's romantic, sexy, cliched, contains vampires, has cute drawing style, and quite humorous. I also actually care about what happens to the characters and want to find out where their relationships end up. It's easy to get into, a quick read, you don't have to think too hard but you can if you want to.

See, that wasn't so hard! These ‘reviews’ are literally going to be my reasons for why I read the thing, nothing fancy. Go check out Nightmistress!

Crimes of Fashion, Shoes

Has Marc Jacobs taken the trainers trend too far?

Sportwear – or “sportswear luxe”, as the fashion press have been terming it – has been big this season: and it’ll continue to be big long into NEXT season, too. Even those who normally wear heels for the thing most people wear sneakers for, have taken to wearing sneakers for the things most people wear heels for… er, if that makes sense?

For many of you, of course, this has been a really welcome development in fashion. At a time when dress codes have all but died out (Once again, we cite the continuing trend for pyjamas/onesies in public and the large number of Google searches this site receives for the term “Is it OK to wear jeans to a wedding?” as evidence of this…), and you’re considered “overdressed” if you wear heels or a skirt of ANY description, we’re slowly having to accept that people just don’t like to get dressed up for anything but the very fanciest of occasions. “But they’re SO COMFY! is the clarion call of our generation, most often spoken in defense of Uggs, leggings, and the various other items of clothing which are generally considered to be “ugly”, but which people wear anyway.

It was only a matter of time before casual dressing became a trend in its own right, and once that happened, it was only matter of time before someone decided to take it too far. That person is Marc Jacobs, designing for his Marc by Marc Jacobs line:

marc jacobs sneakers

[Buy them here for $566]

We’ll just say here that we don’t hate sneakers: regular sneakers, we mean. In fact, we’ve actually been quite enjoying their current status as “fashion” items (as opposed to being just what everyone wears anyway…), and we really think some people have been making them look almost as covetable as the heels we normally prefer. But these look like expensive clown shoes, no? The colours, the patterns, the crazy soles… we can’t really imagine seeing these on someone and thinking, “Damn, those shoes are stylish: must get some!”, but that could just be us. Probably is, actually.

What say you, readers: you do love or hate these sneakers? Would you wear them?

Yarmouth estate auction to benefit conservation groups, North Yarmouth Academy

YARMOUTH — After  John Kauffmann died in December 2014, his belongings didn’t go to his family.

Instead, Kauffmann, 91, arranged for the his wide array of collectibles and antiques to be auctioned off, with the money going to environmental conservation organizations. In addition, Kauffmann’s home, at 124 Main St., will be donated to the adjacent North Yarmouth Academy.

“He was not only an avid outdoorsman, but an academic, which is his affiliation with NYA,” Colleen Donovan, an auctioneer at Foreside Antiques, said.

Kauffmann, who lived in Yarmouth for about 20 years, spent a lot of his life working in conservation. He worked for the National Park Service and was also a chief planner for the Arctic National Park and the Noatak National Preserve. He also wrote many articles for National Geographic.

The estate auction, which is being organized by Donovan and Peter Combs of BidAmount.com, is being held June 26-27. On June 26, part of the auction will take place in the home starting at 6 p.m.; the following day, the main auction will be in NYA’s Safford Auditorium. All of the items are online at kauffmannauction.com.

Donovan said there are thousands of items being auctioned, arranged into about 500 lots. There are almost 1,000 old books, many of which are rare, which will be auctioned on June 26. Some are classics, but many reflect Kauffmann’s interest in nature and the outdoors.

Donovan said the most expensive book is valued between $1,000 and $2,000, while others are expected to go for around $50.

Kauffmann’s belongings also include almost 100 paintings, 50 rugs, 50 lots of silver, various pieces of jewelry, and antique furniture.

The most expensive piece is a “great bed” from the 1600s, which was purchased from England by Kauffmann’s mother. Donovan said it is worth $4,000 to $6,000.

Combs said they expect to get between $120,000 to $175,000 for all the items.

“Everything that’s there will sell, I’m sure of it,” he said. “I don’t see much there that wouldn’t be of interest to someone.”

While a lot of the items were passed down to Kauffmann over three generations, many of his things were acquired while traveling.

“He bought things because he liked them, not to invest,” Combs said. “That’s the best way to collect.”

Combs and Donovan said Kauffmann was fond of Asian culture, as is evident in the many dragon-adorned pieces at the house. Combs said the oldest piece being auctioned is a Hun Dynasty duck from the second century.

In addition to all of the money from the auction, all of Kauffmann’s savings are being donated to environmental causes. Combs said he’s unsure of exactly how much Kauffmann had, but he estimated it to be in the millions.

Combs said Kauffmann never married.

“The rest of his family seems to be equally well off,” Combs said. “None of them seem at all bothered that he’s giving away everything.”

Donovan said the family has chosen to keep a few personal items, such as family jewelry and portraits.

The home, which was built in 1825 and has about 15 rooms split between the main house and two apartments, is being given to NYA. Kauffmann served on the school’s board for about a decade.

It is still unclear what the home will be used for. There are speculations that it could be the headmaster’s house, a space for functions and conferences, or an outdoor education center.

Regardless of its use, NYA’s interim head of school, John Drisko, said the school is grateful.

“It means a great deal,” he said. “John was a great friend of the school.”

Drisko said not only did Kauffmann “care deeply” for the environment, but he was passionate about education.

“He saw quite vividly the value of the importance of young people,” Drisko said.

Combs said despite Kauffmann’s wealth, he remained down-to-earth and was well liked. He said he always thought of helping others and protecting the environment.

“He sort of the chugged through his whole life being nice and doing the right thing,” Combs said.

Colleen Donovan of Foreside Antiques is organizing the auction of John Kauffmann’s estate in Yarmouth.

The Kauffmann’s estate at 124 Main St., Yarmouth, is adjacent to North Yarmouth Academy. The building is being donated to the school after all the items inside are auctioned off next weekend.

Kauffmann’s home, called the “John Sargent House” was built in 1825.

The most expensive item in the auction is an antique “great bed” from England, which is from the mid-17th century and worth around $5,000.

A little garden experimentation

"First we show up, then we see what happens." ~Casey McCall

What I love most about gardening is there's always new-to-you stuff to learn. I love to try something and see what happens.

Last week I went to a talk by Janet Macunovich at the Dexter Garden Club. It was fun looking at photos of pretty plants and getting Janet's take on the mixed perennial border. Then, as an aside, she mentioned an alternative to overwintering tender bulbs (cannas, dahlias, and gladiolas†) inside: You can bury them deeper (at least 18 inches) in the garden instead!

I left some glad bulbs in the ground to die last faIl. I'd gotten them really cheap and was treating them as annuals. But what the hey! Our soil isn't frozen solid, so I decided to give burying the bulbs deeper a try.

Fortunately, I didn't cut the gladiola foliage to the ground in fall, so I could actually tell where the bulbs were.

I decided to dig the storage hole in my veggie bed because that's empty over winter, and the soil there is easier to dig than my less-amended clay soil in other beds. It was pretty easy digging until about a foot down. I always forget the huge tree roots everywhere in my garden. This particular one was only an inch in diameter (a mere baby!), but required getting out the big pruners.

I live near a wooded natural area. This part of it is not 15 feet from the veggie bed. You're seeing mostly buckthorn, which has crazy long roots, but the biggest diameter roots come are from the many nearby 30-plus-feet-tall trees.

After digging the storage hole to about 21 inches, I went to dig up the glads. They were only maybe 6 inches down and not hard to reach at all. Most of the bulbs had starting multiplying and had baby bulbs on the sides. Aww...

I wished I had a mesh bag to put the bulbs in so I could easily pull them all up at once in spring, instead of digging around onesy-twosy. Then it dawned on me I had this decorative metal basket I got at a yard sale but never figured out how to use. So I put all the bulbs in that and set it into the base of the hole.

A more shallow, wider mesh basket that could hold a single layer of bulbs might have been nicer in terms of drainage, and I contemplated jerry-rigging something out of metal fencing, but that would also have meant digging a much wider hole and I was done fighting with roots.
I filled all the soil back into the hole and topped the area with some pine needles for extra protection. Pinestraw tends to stay put (not blowing away in the wind or decomposing over winter), but just to be on the safe side (mark twice, dig once!), I stuck a locator stake in the ground just behind the basket of bulbs.

In spring, I'll dig them up and move them back to the front garden bed at their normal desired planting depth. The storage hole is only to provide the bulbs with more warmth to survive the winter. If I left them that deep in spring, it would take them forever to reach the surface.

Well that's that. Now we'll see what happens!

† Elephant ears are more sensitive to cold and would have to be buried two feet or deeper. I keep mine in pots and bring them in as houseplants over winter.

  1. I'd not heard of that before! Looks like fun to do - I like the metal container too!

  2. HI Monica,

    Lots of work but if it is succesful you will get your reward.

    Look forward to seeing your border in the summer and hopefully your gladioli :)

  3. It will be interesting to see what happens with these glads. I hope they survive. I will try this if it works for you. :)

  4. Never heard of that before....something to think about. I love your use of the metal container....

    1. You certainly put a lot of work into this, Monica, but you're better than I--I completely forgot to dig up the canna bulbs I planted last summer. With the cold we had this past weekend, I think it may be too late. Looking forward to seeing your glads this summer!

  5. Love this idea Monica! You can be the advance guard, and when you have good results I'll be an early adopter!

  6. Okay Monica I'll be waiting and watching to see what happens.

  7. Look at you being all inspirational and recycle-y! I love the idea of using that basket because I was looking at it and thinking, "Hmmm, that looks a little more Goth than I would expect from Monica. Where's the 50's kitsch?"

    Anyway, there's an auto shop near me and out in their hell strip they planted some glads and the darn things come up every year. I don't think they're planted at the proper depth so why they don't turn to mush is a mystery.

  8. Hallo Monika
    Hey, das ist aber eine gute Idee. Bin gespannt, ob's klappt. Bei uns ist zurzeit alles Stein und Bein gefroren. Brrrrr....
    Liebe Grüsse

  9. Thanks for sharing this neat idea! I'm curious to see how it turns out!

  10. Lucky break leaving up that glad foliage. I hope they all over winter for you nicely. That was a super good use for the basket! Happy New Year to you Monica. Grrr on the tree roots. That is quite a bunch of trees.

  11. Let me know how it goes. If I don't have to dig up my bulbs, that would be awesome!

  12. That's quite an experiment! I'll look forward to seeing the results! Good luck!

  13. Hallo Monica,
    na ja viel mehr Schnee als wir hast Du ja auch nicht. Soll ich sagen Gott sei Dank? hihihi, ich musste an Dich denken, als hier am Freitag alles verschneit war. Hatte nur so wenig Zeit, Dich zu besuchen. Ich hoffe, es geht Dir gut. Ruh Dich noch ein wenig aus, bevor das neue Gartenjahr beginnt.
    Schönen Sonntag noch und viele liebe Grüße aus dem jetzt eiskalten Norddeutschland,

  14. Good luck with your experiment. I doubt I would have been so industrious. Lol

  15. Fantastic web site. A lot of great information here. I’m sending it to a few friends ans also sharing in delicious. And certainly, thanks for your sweat! rolex daytona replica

  16. Interesting post!
    All my bulbs are stored safely in our frost free garage. Hope it works for you.
    LG Gisela

  17. Cracking idea Grommit!
    I'm a lazy gardener and don't plant anything that requires digging up every winter, so I'm quite impressed by your industriousness Monica! :)

  18. What a terrific idea! Being city bound, in an apartment without so much as a balcony, sometimes I read garden blogs just to get a little outdoorsy fix. But one day, sooner than later, I hope, I will have a garden again, and then watch out! All these tips will be stored away in my noggin' and on pages like yours and I'll find 'em again.

    Thank you for sharing this keen idea. I hope to see how they turn out when you dig 'em up in a few months.

West Ham vs Chelsea: Hammers Ready For Moment Of Truth

Upton Park, London
11 September, 2010

After a hiatus due to international duties, the Premier League will be back in action on this Saturday, 11th September. The Hammers are set to welcome Chelsea at Upton park. The season has not done any favors to Avram Grant’s curriculum vitae so far. West Ham, who are at the bottom of the league table, have lost all three of their matches so far, registering their worst start since 1977.

To make matter worse, rumour has it that Grant might have only three upcoming matches to save his job. Even recent history bets against West Ham in this fixture as Chelsea have not lost against West Ham in the last seven years.

Missed penalties and dubious decisions made by match officials have added to the long list of misery of Grant’s men. The goal difference between West Ham and Chelsea is already 22, only after three matches. The morale of the team is at an all time low. Green seems yet to recover from his World Cup goof-up. The defense is shaking like a pack of cards. The attack line has not done anything worth a mention. Scott Parker and Kieron Dyer have so far been the only two players to keep their fans interested.

The only saving grace for West Ham could be their home crowd support. Last season they were able to hold Chelsea at Upton Park and Grant can only hope of some miracle to stop his former club’s juggernaut.

Meanwhile, Chelsea seem to have hit all the right chords since the season kick-off. All the key players are on song. Malouda has so far scored in each and every match. Target man Drogba has scored a hattrick against West Brom and followed it up with a hattrick of assists against Wigan. Kalou has chipped in with goals. Sturridge, fresh from his exploits with England U-21, is eager to prove his mettle at the highest level to Ancelotti.

If fit to play, Lampard can expect yet another traditional Green Street welcome as there would be no love lost between the crowd and him. For a team that has not yet conceded any goal so far in the league, the defense looks to be the weakest link for the defending champions. With Ferreira operating as the right side-back  and Terry’s fitness not yet confirmed, ex-Cheslea forward Carlton Cole would try their best to end their club’s predicament.

Medical Room Updates:

Valon Behrami is expected to return after a thigh injury. Defender Thomas Hitzlsperger has been ruled out and is expected to return next week when the Hammers pay a visit to Stoke City. Collison, Hines and Kurucz are all still out.

Chelsea will be looking to have John Terry and Frank Lampard back after injury. Although both are back in training Carlo Ancelotti may decide not to risk both of them.

Jose Bosingwa is back in training and could be pushing for a start but Branisalav Ivanovic and Gael Kakuta are both out with back injuries.

Probable Line-Ups:

West Ham United

The Hammers might slot in new recruit Lars Jacobsen in the problematic right back slot. Ben Haim played in both the international matches for Israel. The way Gabbidon got hoodwinked by Giggs et al in their last match, Ben Haim should be ready to take his place. Newbie Victor Obinna might make his debut as well.

Behrami stayed with the club to regain full fitness and should replace Boa Morte. Barrera and Dyer – impressive against Manchester United, to play the wide role to the lone striker Carlton Cole. The probable line-up is:

Green (Gk), Jacobsen, Upson, Ben Haim, Illunga, Parker, Noble, Behrami, Dyer, Barrera, Cole.

Chelsea FC

Chelsea will probably keep their winning combination intact. However, Lampard is yet to recover from the hernia surgery that kept him out of the England squad. Ancelotti confirmed that Terry is fit for the match, and in all likelihood Chelsea will start with a certitude on the outcome of the match. The likely line-up for the match:

Cech (Gk), Ferreira, Terry, Alex, Cole, Benayoun, Mikel, Essien, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka

Florent Malouda(Chelsea)

Stamford Bridge, Chelsea v West Bromwich Albion, Premier League 14/08/2010 Florent Malouda of Chelsea in action Photo Marc Atkins Fotosports International Photo via NewscomThe lethal French Connection

The French skipper is enjoying a fine run of form. The midfielder has scored in all the matches played by Chelsea so far. He was able to echo the same form for France during the Euro qualifier match against Bosnia. Even though all eyes will be on his team-mate, the powerful Ivorian, the French maestro will be a sure-fire at the Boleyn Ground.

TheHardTackle’s PREDICTION:

West Ham United 1-4 Chelsea

Devan Dubnyk looks to stay hot and keep spot in Edmonton's crease

Devan Dubnyk looks to stay hot and keep spot in Edmonton's crease

The Canadian Press

EDMONTON - With a "win and you're in" edict from coach Tom Renney, Devan Dubnyk has staked his claim to the goal crease by backstopping the Edmonton Oilers to five of a possible six points in three straight starts.

Dubnyk made his case again Tuesday, stopping 31 of 33 shots in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche at Rexall Place. If Renney is true to his word, veteran Nikolai Khabibulin will take a seat again when the Chicago Blackhawks visit Thursday and Dubnyk will make a fourth straight start for the first time in his NHL career.

"I'm enjoying it," said Dubnyk, who is in his third full season with the Oilers. "You have to allow yourself to enjoy it and reflect when you do play well and put some games together.

"As much as you have to stay level-headed, it's important to enjoy it and feel good about yourself and your game, give yourself a pat on the back once in a while."

That's the key to building confidence, says Dubnyk.

"That's what makes the game fun," he said. "I always feel I'm playing my best when I'm having fun."

When this season began, the expectation was Dubnyk would shoulder a heavier workload than 2010-11, when he made 35 appearances.

It hasn't played out that way.

Khabibulin had a hot first month and Dubnyk struggled at times, prompting onlookers to ask if the six-foot-five netminder from Regina was ready to assume the top job from the 39-year-old veteran.

Dubnyk, 25, has certainly looked like an heir-apparent lately. He stopped 44 of 45 shots in a 2-1 shootout win over San Jose on Jan. 23, then turned aside 33 of 35 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss in Vancouver the following night before beating Colorado in his 24th appearance this season.

"You have to recognize that the opportunity will always present itself if you stay ready," Renney said.

"I think there was a point in time when Nik was playing really well and you kind of go, 'Oh, boy, when's my chance?' You've got to stay competitive. You've got to stay driven. You've got to persevere and you've got to really work.

"Not that he was not any of that, but to the level where you're just ready to go and nail it, maybe there's a lesson to be learned there. I think what he's done now is he's dialed in, really dialed in. He's played very, very well as a competitor."

All told, Dubnyk has allowed five goals on 113 shots through his last three outings. He's got an 8-11-1 record, a 2.83 goals-against average and a saves percentage of .911.

Khabibulin, meanwhile, is 11-15-4 with two shutouts, a 2.45 goals-against average and a .918 saves percentage through 30 appearances.

"You look at any NHL team and goaltending matters," said defenceman Ryan Whitney. "No matter how good you are up front, no matter how good your top six is in the back, it always comes down to that goalie.

"You need that solid guy in the back. The thing for Devan is he's right on the cusp. I don't think he's quite proven yet he's a No. 1 goalie, but if you look at his recent string of work, he has been and I think he will be."

Khabibulin had the hot hand as Edmonton jumped out to a surprising 9-3-2 start to the season. There was talk then of the rebuilding Oilers pushing for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. On a 10-23-3 slide since, Dubnyk's opportunity to make an impression now comes framed in different circumstances.

"Our goaltending has certainly carried us at times this season," Renney said. "We haven't been very good in front of them.

"We just need them to be as consistent as possible because confidence kind of grows from that position."

With the Oilers in 14th place and 12 points back of the eighth-place Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference with 32 games remaining, a post-season push is a long shot at best. While Dubnyk isn't looking that far ahead, he's aware of the opportunity in front of him now.

"Obviously, it's an opportunity to keep going and it's an opportunity for the whole team," Dubnyk said. "We all play together to win games. It's not just me, it's not just somebody else. It's as a team.

"If you can get on a roll and win games together, that's growing together and it's exciting to have that opportunity."

Keeping the crease means beating the Blackhawks.

"It's so important to just take each shot at a time," Dubnyk said. "If you concentrate on what you need to do, the result will be there at the end of the game. You can't think about the end of the game at the start of the game.

"You don't think, 'I've got to win this game so I can play the next one.' I just want to try to approach it like I have and that's by not taking anything for granted and by doing what's making me successful."

Abbott’s main achievements were stopping the boats and initiating a plebiscite.

The history books will characterise Abbott as the most blunder prone PM of Australia. The most noteworthy achievement which changed the course of events was stopping the boats. And hopefully plebiscites will become a way of letting Australians have their say on contentious issues.

Canning by election - a chance to express concerns about population and immigration

The Sustainable Population Party has endorsed a candidate, Angela Smith, for the Canning by election on 19th September. It is a wide spread electorate and so she needs help, physical and financial, from people outside the electorate and outside the SPP. It is also an opportunity for voters in Canning to express an opinion on high immigration by writing ‘Reduce Immigration’ on the the ballot paper

Australia is fortunate to have the flag it does

Nigel Jackson presents arguments that we should firmly resist calls to change our greatest national symbol

A cry from the heart from those trampled on by the underground gas mining developments

It is easy to dismiss the concerns in communities, such as Hopeland, in the Western Downs, which has the richest soil in Australia, becoming a centre of unconventional gas developments. Hence TIA is publishing an article by Shay Dougall, spokesperson for Hopeland Community Sustainability Group.

Can Australia achieve the ALP aim of 50% reduction in emissions from stationary sources?

50% can only be done by adopting new technologies. Apart from financial incentives, strong persuasion from the top is important. Alas, that is not the current Government, but social and community pressures are building.

The May ALP Conference cleared some electorally harmful clutter and made vague promises.

The conference was the initial policy launch for the next election. Hence the voting on critical issues had to be sewn up before debate on the floor to make certain conference got it right, so that policies were not vulnerable to Coalition attack in the campaign.

MD of the ABC, Mark Scott, and Zacky Mallah both love free speech.

  Zacky Mallah posted on Twitter in January 2015 Australia has two decent whores Rita Pahini and Miranda Divine (sic) Both need to be gangbanged on the Sunrise desk. #freedomofspeech love it.’This person was selected to put his question on Q&A on the 22nd June.

The Australian Conservation Foundation votes for concentration of power in the hands of the Board

The background is covered in the previous post Proposals for stifling of democracy in the Australian Conservation Foundation. I attended the Special General Meeting of the ACF on the 26 June where the proposals were narrowly carried.

Proposals for stifling of democracy in the Australian Conservation Foundation

Proposed changes to the ACF Constitution are designed to concentrate power in the Board and reduce the input of members. The elected ACF Council will be only an advisory body.

Australians are not willing to fix budget deficits.

Popularity in the polls soared after the Coalition brought down a Budget which scarcely paid lip service to fixing the deficit long term. Most of the new cost cutting measures were housekeeping.The deficit will be smaller in 2015/16 than the current year, not much smaller if controversial measures are rejected by the Senate.

Cowboys have showdown with Malta on Friday

19_fb_8119GETS AROUND  — Cowboy quarterback sophomore Wesley Varnum (8) eludes the grasp Kellen Murack (47) during a scrimmage on Friday. Trailing the play is sophomore lineman Ryan Townsend. Conrad begins the season for real on Friday with the Malta Mustangs in for the home opener.  I-O Photo by Buck Traxler

As its been in the past the Cowboy football team will be having a big test right out of the chute when the Malta Mustangs come to town on Friday.

The Mustangs lost three players who had state honors behind their name, but they also return five players who got some form of all league recognitions including All-State lineman Kyle Boos.

The Cowboys says Coach Joe Moerkerke, “We’ll have four seniors on the squad.” They will have to step up and provide leadership for 16 juniors, 10 sophomores and eight freshmen.

Senior players include Caleb Goyette who at 6’-1” 265 pounds will go both ways on the line. Grant Grubb is a 6’-0” 170 pound wide receiver and defensive back.

Colter Knox at 6’-0” 175 pounds  will see duty as a running back and linebacker and Bryce Watterud at 6”-0” 195 pounds will be a tight end and linebacker.

The Cowboys lost some height at the quarterback slot with All State player Josiah Moerkerke graduating. Joe Ries, a 6’-0” junior, is slated to be the starter. However he will have a big target in junior Ben Moerkerke who is 6’-6” and 190 pounds playing a wide out and defensive back.

Coach Moerkerke says the Cowboys will still be utilizing the run-pass option, but this year, “We have some faster overall team speed.”  And with bigger numbers there will be more juniors and sophomores getting playing time.

Another target for Ries will be speed merchant Sam Carroll a 5’-10”, 145 pound wide receiver. Luke Schlosser, a championship wrestler is another speedy wideout who is 5’-5” and 125 pounds.

Other juniors are Clay Winters who will play both ways as a receiver and defensive back, Blayne Underdahl who can go either way as a running back and linebacker, and Lucas Schultz who will help anchor the offensive and defensive line.

Alex Finlayson, Caleb Gouchenour, Sam Larson, Kyle Linn, Tyler Nelson, Ryan Orcutt, Dallas VanLuchene, Charles Roderick and Cody Seaman round out the junior players.

Sophomore players out for the squad include Bryan Barker, Seth Diedrich, Kyle Dyrud, Justin Fritz, Kellen Murack, Trent Pearson, Justin Ratzburg, Ryan Townsend and Wesley Varnum.

Freshmen players include Josh Ashworth, Jake Bender, Logan Gouchenour, Morgan Koenig, Matt Missik, Seth Moerkerke, Garrett Moritz and Tyler Padilla.

Assistant coaches are Bob Bender, Brian Fladstol and Jeremie LaBarre. Rich Murack is back as the team trainer.

Ray Palmer is the team manager with Meagan Breding, Alex Gage and Tori Fladstol taking care of the statistics.

Outside football pundits have the Cowboys picked to be just 1-4 in conference play and 3-5 overall and placing fifth in the conference standings, just ahead of Cascade who is picked to be sixth.

The top four spots, so they say, go to Fairfield, Shelby, Cut Bank and Choteau.

The hotdogs will be ready and the football will leave the kicking tee at 7 p.m. as the Cowboys begin the season at home.

Folks, with a program in one hand and hotdog in the other, it doesn’t get too much better on a Friday night.

Project Management

It’s like this:

You want us to run a race for you. It’s a fast race and it’s hard race. And although we’re trained to run - we’re really good over a set distances, over specific range of terrains. You like us but you don’t like that terrain. You want us to go cross country rather than by the road - shortest distance between two points, and all that. We can do that, but it’s going to take us longer, we say. You don’t want us to take longer, in fact, you want us to break all our previous records and do it for the same cost of materials a road race would cost.

You’re a sweet talker. A charmer. We’re eager to please. Ready for a challenge, we express doubts about the success of finishing, let alone breaking any records, but decide “Hells bells! Let’s give it our best shot - we might just be able to do this.”

On your marks; get set; GO!

We’re off, we’re running. The terrain is uneven but we’re managing so far. We bought new shoes to suit the environment. We changed our carbo-loading routine to account for the extra energy needed to clamber over rocks and rivers. We’re full of energy - we’re powering ahead.

Then one of our new shoes breaks - the left one. Falls the fuck apart and we have one bare foot and one shoed foot. Have you ever tried to run on *any* surface with only one shoe? it slows us all the heck down. One of our team breaks from the race to go to the store to buy new shoes. We can’t just buy left ones, because shoes come in pairs, right? so that’s our shoe budget blown to smitherines. We continue, hobbling unevenly along - blisters on one foot, the other raw from the rough unpaved ground underfoot: but we’re still moving forward.

We’re using a lot more energy than anticipated now too - not sure how that will affect us on the race but we’re still pushing ahead.

Our teammate comes back with new shoes for everyone in the race. We stop for the amount of time it takes to put new shoes on. He bought socks too so now our feet are ensconced in comfort, support, and reliability. We power on. Renewed in our desire to get to the finish breaking all previous records. The hope in our hearts powering us forward.

But we’re slowing down again. The terrain is even more rocky and uphill than the map you showed us indicated. Our calorie intake is below what we need for this amount of effort. It feels more and more like we’re running up a continuous, rocky incline.

So you notice how hard the going is for us. You also notice that at our rate of forward momentum, we’re not going to break those records you wanted us to break. We watch you drive to the finish line, get out of your car, and move the finish line away another kilometre.  After driving back to where we are still running forward you say “We saw you weren’t on track to break any records, so we’ve moved the finish line and you have more time to get there. Also, wear these coats - now you have more time to get to that further finish line, you can have more drag.”

Okay so we have a burst of speed. Our shoes are hold well, energy is pretty good but not great, but the heat and drag from the coats isn’t helping - neither is the fact we need to find the extra calories to run the extra kilometre.

But we keep going. Hope in our hearts, and all that jazz.

Then you move the finish line again, adding add hats and gloves.

We’re struggling - still moving forward but bogged down with the extra layers of clothing, and the ability to maintain energy is really starting to look like it’s going to be a real factor.

We run day, we run night, we are running on empty, but we keep running.

Then you move the finish line again. Even further away - and add skipping ropes for us to jump while wearing coats and hats and running and we’re tired and we have nothing left.

Then you move the finish line by 10 more kilometres.

“With all this extra distance to run” you say, “now you’re used to the rocks, the incline, the extra layers of clothing and the physical challenge of jumping rope while running cross country - we think you can put on eyepatches, and not use torches during the night while running. Okay? GO!”

We’re still moving forward - but our hearts are broken. We have nothing left to give. We gave you everything. Now we’re just running. Forward. Hot. Hopeless. We’ll finish, but we’ll be broken and not much good for anything else anymore.

Recipe Review: Orange Yogurt Cake

Recipe Review: Orange Yogurt Cake

Emma Christensen
Jul 3, 2008

So if it has yogurt in it, can we pretend it's healthy? Pretty please?

This recipe for Orange Yogurt Cake comes from one of our favorite blogs, Farmgirl Fare. We made it for a barbecue dinner party last weekend, thinking that it's fresh flavors would make a nice finish to the hearty grill fare.

We apologize for the slightly un-glamorous pictures of the finished cake. The truth is that by the time the cake was done, we were so eager to eat it that we only caught a few frames before it was devoured. It was really good!

Read on for our full review...

Just as Farmgirl Susan promises, this is a good recipe to have in your back pocket. For the most part, the ingredients are pantry staples and the batter comes together quickly (even if you forget to soften your butter...).

Instead of "mixing well," we gently folded the dry ingredients into the wet just until they were combined and we could no longer see any dry flour. We're not sure how much of a difference this makes, but in theory this will keep the batter lighter and prevent gluten from developing.

We loved that this cake wasn't overly sweet. The gentle orange flavor shines through in every bite, and the yogurt adds just a hint of mellow tang. We decided to forgo the simple syrup in the recipe for a drizzled orange glaze (recipe below).

The finished cake was moist and slightly crumbly--somewhere between the texture of pound cake and that of cornbread. It held together well whether we were eating it from a plate, a napkin, or with our bare fingers.

In fact, leftovers would make decadent french toast!

Judging by the bare crumbs left at the end of the evening, we think this cake hit just the spot at our barbecue. We hope it does the same for yours!

Orange Glaze
Makes about 1/2 cup

1 cup confectioner's sugar
zest and juice from 1/4-1/2 large orange
1/2 tsp almond extract

Mix everything together in a bowl and drizzle over the cake just before serving.

10 Things OC can do on Earth Day

Earth DayHappy Earth Day! Make a couple of changes in your routines today, and by Earth Day 2008, you can say that youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve made an impact.

1. Recycle at work: if your office or workplace doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t already have a recycling program, set one up. But a couple of trashcans and let people know that you are going to be recycling aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Save up the money and have a fun party next Earth Day.

2. Replace bulbs: take three frequently used light bulbs and replace them with compact fluorescent bulbs.

3. Use less gasoline: gas is expensive, so start to carpool, use public transportation, or ride a bike.

4. Only run a full dishwasher: save water and electricity by only running your dishwasher when youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve filled it up.

5. Plant a tree: trees suck up carbon dioxide and make clean air for us to breathe.

6. Vote Democratic: Democrats have a better track record with environmental issues, so vote for them! Even if a Democrat is running for a seat on your local city council or school board, give them your support. Many politicians start in those local offices.

7. Turn it off: If you arenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t using an electronic, turn it off. You can help even more by unplugging things that are not in use.

8. Read Maria: Maria runs the Fotzepolitc blog which is all about living green in Orange County. She had this list of things to do in OC on Earth Day.

9. Buy recycled: when you buy things, check to see if the packaging is made of recycled materials. It is really easy to do, especially with printer paper.

10. Buy organic:
when possible, buy organic food because the chemicals used in modern agriculture pollute the water supply, and require energy to produce.

    Great suggestions Mike! But regarding the planting of trees. Please ensure that you plant the right trees that are native to the area. Many trees are planted that end up destroying natural flora and fauna to a particular area.

    The Earth will be perfectly OK regardless what temp. it is at or how much ice there is. All YOU are concerned with is your own personal little habitats. Your worried that you may be personally inconvenienced, this is selfishness at its worst.
    Who cares whether it is natural or man madeÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ either way the earth is changing.
    Those who live to blame this on man do so cause if they are right, in their tiny frightened minds it means they can fix itÃ¢â‚¬Â¦. This is the same arrogance that got us to where we are today.

    You decided to play(too much) and now you realized there are reactions to you actions. Just sit back and enjoy yourselves it appears thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s all people are good for anyway.
    Know in your hearts that the Earth will be here long after we are gone and life (maybe no humans) will flourish as it always has.

    Let’s not forget Crow’s other thoughtful advise on preventing global warming – only one square of tolet paper per setting.

    I would like to nominate Mr. Lawson to head up the potty enforcers division at the EPA.

    LetÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s see, this April FoolÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Day my family wasted 6 rolls of paper applying them liberally to our neighbors tree Ã¢â‚¬â€œ I guess itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s off to Nuremberg to stand trial for crimes against humanity.

    Crow is a big time kook and hypocrite Ã¢â‚¬â€œ thank goodness Rove was “dismissive” to her.

    CrowÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s toilet paper plan doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t read like a joke on her web site.

    “only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required”.

    “I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.”

    Why is her plan any whacker than aother celebrity comments like Rosy OÃ¢â‚¬â„¢Donnell saying that Ã¢â‚¬Å“fire doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t melt steelÃ¢â‚¬Â trying to justify why 9-11 was a hoax. Was she joking too?

    The bogus claim that earthÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s current warming trend, unlike the Martian one, is solely attributed to manÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s industrialization, is the new Ã¢â‚¬ËœabsoluteÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ that will justify a command economy.

    CommunismÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s promise of a Ã¢â‚¬Ëœnew manÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t fly with everyone. People couldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t give up freedoms outright on a theory. After 70 years of pitching the line of the Ã¢â‚¬Ëœnew manÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ or era of equality they failed and the science of scoial engineering ended. Today people who are collectivists either personally or politically are happy we finally have a real sicentific reason to acomplish what they couldn’t pull off in the last century.

    We now have a new reason why smarter, more caring people should control and manage the means of production.

    Combating global warming is now the justification for ANY government action; on the macro, designating what countries can operate manufacturing plants, on the micro; rationing toilet paper. The Soviet Union rationed toilet paper, they had a very good reason to do so.

    If global warming is, as Gore states a moral issue, then ANY action taken to stop the supposed cause of global warming is justified Ã¢â‚¬â€œ including the rationing of T.P.

  7. Jim Bieber
    April 23, 2007 at 4:34 pm

    It could be funny if it were not a serious option of the left. There is a movement to curtail the use of toilet paper. There was even a university in northern Cal that was seeking to ban it in public restrooms.

    So how are we supposed to know she is joking? Anything is possible in the name of stopping global warming.

    No toilet paper, no newspapers, no automobiles, no laundry detergent, no trash and no TV.
    Colin Beavan, his wife, Michelle Conlin, and their toddler and dog are saying no to a lot to fulfill their yearlong plan to make no environmental impact on the Earth.
    PORTLAND, Ore. – You can’t ignore the message when it’s everywhere: Al Gore winning an Oscar for “An Inconvenient Truth,” the growing popularity of the green living Web site “Ideal Bite,” Leonardo DiCaprio gracing the cover of Vanity Fair’s “Green Issue,” and even a popular blog detailing one man’s quest to live an entire year without toilet paper.

    ‘Greener’ Investing
    By BDN Staff
    Thursday, April 12, 2007 – Bangor Daily News
    The pressure is growing. Maine State Treasurer David G. Lemoine and Vermont State Treasurer Jeb Spaulding have joined 65 leading corporations and institutional investors in looking for companies that make climate change risk a top priority. And Vanity Fair magazine devotes most of its May issue to environmental activism. It stresses individual responsibility, warning that using too much toilet paper endangers the forests and buying a cell phone leads to the slaughter of gorillas in a region where metal for a component is mined.

    National Award Winning Communicator…

    Ann Coulter, John Edwards, the “F” word and rehab. That was a funny joke didn’t you think. “What she said was outrageous”

    It was Crows brother possibly making a joke about her possibly serious suggestion. Other liberal are VERY serious about the need to reduce T.P. to fight global warming (see) my previous post.

    And finally, I used the words Ã¢â‚¬Å“liberals, communism and global warmingÃ¢â‚¬Â all in one paragraph, whereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s the big slam on me engaging in McCarthyism?

  9. Dan Chmielewski
    April 24, 2007 at 3:43 pm

    Sorry Jim, that wasn’t funny. But I’d rather have Sheryl Crow speak for my party than have Ann Coulter speak for it.

Minimalism Documentary: see the film

The Minimalists

Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus help over 20 million people live meaningful lives with less through their website, books, podcast, and documentary. The Minimalists have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Forbes, TIME, ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, CBC, and NPR.

The Man Who Dies with the Most Stuff

If I know anything about being an American, it’s that the man who dies with the most stuff wins.

At 13, I was well on my way to winning. Somehow, I had developed a love for bargains. Off-season prom dresses. After-Christmas sweater sales. Thrifted jeans for a few bucks. I could buy more, for less, than anyone I knew. And I took pride in all that cheap stuff I accumulated, as a middle-class, middle-American, middle-schooler.

This ability to bargain, I thought, would win me coolness and popularity. Surely, I would have far more clothes than my friends.

But I didn’t. Their closets were overflowing, too. Shoes. Bags. Jeans. I kept buying more and more cheap clothing, in an effort to keep up. Each season, our closets collectively spat out old trends as we shoveled in new ones.

In a race to die with the most stuff, everyone wants to look good. So I too raced, with shopping bags in hand, through high school and college.

By 23, I was much cooler than my 13-year-old self. I wanted to travel, live abroad, and experience life outside my hometown and my dorm.

I still loved a bargain more than anything. But it wasn’t financially feasible to schlep a crate of high-heels around the world, so I bought a backpack. I carefully chose a few garments for the next several months, and nervously stepped onto the plane.

Things looked different on the other side of the planet—especially on the winding rural roads of countries like Laos and Cambodia. With my nose pressed against dirty bus windows, I observed. Life is far less shiny and new in that part of the world. There is more dirt, and grass, both indoors and out.

Only one word came to mind when I thought about my life back home.

With eyes wide, I realized my selfishness. For wanting, and wanting, and wanting. And never, ever, thinking about the impact that my want had on the rest of the world.

Generally, people turn to a minimalist lifestyle to make their day-to-day existence easier. To save money, to save time, to focus on what’s truly important. These reasons are admirable—they allow us to find meaning beyond our jeans and gadgets.

But my travels abroad turned me onto minimalism for a different reason. I slowly saw the impact of my consumption taking a toll on the environment, and on others. It became a personal thing. And I realized that minimalism isn’t just a lifestyle decision, but a chance to save humanity.

That’s a pretty bold statement: minimalism will save humanity. But over the following year, I became more convinced of the power that lifestyle choices have on changing the world.

My time abroad changed my perspective—not only on what it means to live with less, but to live. To live is to make choices, day in and day out. And for a long time, I chose a good bargain, retail therapy, and new trends over the chance to reduce pollution, carbon emissions, and landfill waste.

It was time to start asking questions of myself, and of the companies I supported for many years.

In a few months, I will turn 26. The past year of my life has been devoted to learning about fabrics, fashion, and consumption, and starting an ultra-versatile eco-clothing line with my close friend, Shannon. Inspired by our backpacks, and appalled by our former shopaholic selves, we began learning about how our shopping habits affect the rest of the world.

We came across disturbing statistics: Americans, while making up only 5 percent of the world’s population, consume 25 percent of the world’s resources. In 2007, the average American was purchasing one piece of clothing every 5.4 days, and discarding 78 pounds of textiles every year. That’s an absurd rate of consumption.

What’s even more unsettling is how these clothes are constructed. Many of our garments are made with petroleum-based synthetics, chemically sprayed for anti-wrinkle “benefits,” and printed using inks with known carcinogens. The byproducts and waste end up in ecosystems on the other side of the world, that look much different from the enticing point-of-purchase.

Progressive research points to the idea that in order to change the world—truly—we must look towards a more minimal way of life. The earth simply can’t support a world full of overflowing walk-in closets and new trends for every season.

Looking back, I ponder the social pressures behind my consumption. My friends and I wholeheartedly believed that life would somehow be better, if only we had the trendiest garb.

I wanted to be the (wo)man who died with the most stuff, without realizing that if one man dies with everything, the rest are left with nothing. Minimalism, for me, is not just an individual experience that makes my own life richer; it’s a collective experience that improves the world as a whole.

Perhaps it’s time to reconsider our consumption mantra. Perhaps it could go something like this:

If I know anything about being a world citizen, it’s that the man who dies with the smallest footprint does the greatest good.

What You Need To Know About Last Night’s Oscars Debacle

Many viewers were left wondering about the sequence of events that led to the initial erroneous declaration of ‘La La Land’ as the Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards Sunday instead of the real winner, ‘Moonlight’. The Onion breaks down what you need to know about this fiasco.

Brad Pitt Sidelined 6 To 8 Weeks With Red Carpet Toe

LOS ANGELES—Saying doctors strongly recommended that he stay off the injured foot, representatives for Brad Pitt confirmed to reporters Sunday that the actor was sidelined six to eight weeks with a case of red carpet toe.

The Onion’s 2017 Oscar Picks

The 89th Academy Awards features a more diverse slate of film and actor nominees than in past years, though the ceremony could still field #OscarsSoWhite criticism. Here are The Onion’s picks for who should take home the coveted Oscar statuettes:
