Tsk tsk tsk
There are things you forgot for DP187. These things include:
The code for the episodes that came before and after the episode, the japanese and american airdates, opening theme song, episode picture (which has to be a picture that's NOT, i repeat NOT, from Bulbapedia, Episode number, Main Characters, Recurring characters, Minor characters, major events, badges Ash has earned so far, pokemon characters and an episode plot, which also cannot be a copy of Bulbapedia's work. And you listed the wrong season. It's Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors.
But you are new here and this is episode articles week, however, users are only allowed to make ONE episode article per day this week. We don't want the Anime Chief and my boss Hstar to have more work than she can handle. You'll learn that you have much to learn.

You're welcome. Oh, I almost forgot: Don't forget to put in the template for what of the four series the episode is from. Here. This is what an episode article is supposed to look like:
{{Episode |prev = BW078 |next = BW080 |prevnum = BW078 |nextnum = BW080 |name = Flaming Memories! Tepig VS Emboar!! |jname = 炎のメモリー!ポカブVSエンブオー!! |image = |jnum = 734 |jair = Apr-26-2012 |uair = TBD |season = Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies |songs = Rival Destinies (Song) |songs2 = Rival Destinies |b1 = Tribadge.png |b2 = Basicbadge.png |b3 = Beetlebadge.png |b4 = Boltbadge.png |b5 = Quakebadge.png |b6 = Jetbadge.png |major = Ash and co. meet Suwama, Tepig's originial trainer, Ash battles Suwama and wins, Ash's Tepig evolves into Pignite |machars = [[Ash]], [[Iris (anime)|Iris]], [[Cilan (anime)|Cilan]] |rchars = [[Don George]] |michars = [[Suwama]] |pchars = [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Iris' Axew]], [[Ash's Pignite|Ash's Tepig -> Pignite]], [[Ash's Snivy]], [[Ash's Scraggy]], [[Ash's Krokorok]], [[Iris' Emolga]], [[Cilan's Pansage]], Suwama's Emboar]], [[Suwama's Heatmor]] }} ==Episode Plot== After foiling another Team Rocket plan, Ash and co. stop off at Astilbe Town. At the battle club, Tepig walks up to its former trainer, a boy named Suwama, who abandoned nim back at the [[BW004: The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!|Accumula Town Battle Club]]. When Ash went to get Tepig, Suwama said that he was glad to give up such a worthless pokemon, which enraged Ash after he put two and two together. So Ash is challenged to a Double Battle? Can Tepig really prove it's worth? {{Incomplete-plot}} {{Pokémon: Best Wishes!}}
Hope this helps. Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 10:54, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
Not Seasons, Series. There's four in general: Original Series, that's seasons 1-5, Advanced Geneartion that's seasons 6-9, Diamond and Pearl is seasons 10-13 and Black and White is seasons 14 and still new 15. That help a little? Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 11:03, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Check out the "Community", then "Project Pages" tab on the wiki navigation. You'll find a list of the projects there. — ChaosVoid 22:51,5/2/2012
That's ok.
That's ok. BTW. One of our editors, Trainer Micha. his grandpa died last night so he won't be here for a while.

How about you go to any episodes that feature Ash's Tepig and do this:
[[Ash's Pignite|Ash's Tepig]]
Good luck.
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 18:00, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
But talk to Hstar about it. She's the boss but talk to her during the summer.
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 21:25, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Talk to CrimsonNavy about that. He's been doing this longer than I have.
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 19:54, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Re:A Request
I suppose since Hstar is sort inactive I could do it, just add {{ProjectAnime}} to your user page and add your user name to the project page. Crimsnnavy C S 22:47, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Character of the Day
They'd be a new character that might not appear as often, as the character of that one episode. For instance, the Stella from Kanto was the character of the day in IL064: It's Mr. Mime Time. That help?

Re: About your edit
Wait...wikis are met for EVERYONE to be allowed to edit EVERYTHING. That's the whole darn point about wikis. All Fired Up! 20:51, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
Jumping the gun.
I appreciate the help, but I already said on my talk page I'd be doing the article for JE144. And I have a system about how I do articles. But since this is the week of episode articles, do something else like episode articles from Diamond and Pearl. I'll let you off with a warning this time, but don't let it happen again.
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 12:57, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
Well it's no problem. Here, a pic site:
Just 2 things:
1, Pick a pic that is different than the one in the Bulbapedia version of the article
2. Once you have your pic, save it, go to paint, save it as a png file, delete the jpg version and post it. Better quality and not a copy.
It's that simple. here:
For the AG034 article.

Most images should be uploaded with the Fairuse license unless the image's source says otherwise. Also, remember to try to find your own images using videos before you take them from other sites. I use this website to get new images before I am forced to use any other site's image, although the website I mentioned is missing some vids from the DP seasons. And remember to change image to png format, especially when they are from Filb, when they are in jpg format, sometimes an info box appears on the image's page for some reason. Crimsnnavy C S 00:08, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
I added you to the poll. For images, use the Prnt Scrn button and paste it to an editing program, like Paint. Some computers, like Windows 7, also have a snipping tool. We only did interviews when Bullet was around since he was the one who started it. If he comes back, we'll start doing it again, I may start it up again if someone else wants to help with it, but that won't be for some time. Crimsnnavy C S 21:25, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
Print Screen
Just through glancing through wiki activity, I noticed you wanted to know where the print screen button is. It's located on the top row, three from the right, this is the normal location for basically all keyboards, not mac though. For mac go to http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/13/print-screen-mac/
I suppose if they fit the requirements for adminship. Crimsnnavy C S 11:49, June 9, 2012 (UTC)
- They can't be nominated until they fit all of the requirements. Crimsnnavy C S 16:22, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

No. You're not allowed to make new episode articles until the 24th.

It's something I've been doing a lot longer than you have: I would post the newest Pokémon episode from Japan every Thursday. So don't judge me. Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 16:46, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
You can't sign with that here. Jazzi 21:23, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
- No. Use a regular signature. You clearly don't know how to template one, so you need to use a regular one. Jazzi 21:30, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
- You can document a signature by putting the coding to User:Yugimuto1/Sig, which I see has already been created. Afterwards, add this to User:Yugimuto1/Sig2:
To finalize the process, add this to the signature field in your preferences:
{{SUBST:User:Yugimuto1/Sig2|{{SUBST:#time: H:i,n/j/Y}}}}
Hope that sorts things out. Just a reminder, you will need to use only three tildes (~~~), rather than four. Otherwise, you will produce two timestamps. Bermuda • Triangle • 22:41,6/28/2012
- You can document a signature by putting the coding to User:Yugimuto1/Sig, which I see has already been created. Afterwards, add this to User:Yugimuto1/Sig2:
- The Rotom image comes from another user's signature, as seen on User talk:Bermuda#Request. It's done by the choose and option tags, so every time the page reloads, the image changes to another one from the option tags.
- As for the languages, we have a list of languages available to edit from: German, Spanish, and the list goes on. I'm not sure where to find a full list as I've never worked with it, so I tend to ignore things that doesn't concern me. Bermuda • Triangle • 15:21,6/29/2012
Project Anime
Apologies for the late reply, I haven't been on here for a long time, I have GCSEs and all that nonsense to put up with. But I see you've already been added to Project Anime, so welcome, I was going to say yes anyway! I suspect my successor (who is in charge whilst I'm away) Winxfan1, has dealt with you, so welcome aboard again! -- Hstar (Talk) 19:43, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
Congratulations, you've won the featured user award for the month of June. Feel free to place {{FU}} on your userpage to display your achievement. ChaosVoid 14:03, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Curse and this wiki
I may volunteer to stay here to help keep watch of vandalism and what-not until the wiki has the right amount of admins to do it themselves. I'm still moving to Curse, however, and will be working there. I don't guarantee that I will stay here as I'm still one person, working on other wikis and, of course, real life. Bermuda • Triangle • 22:41,7/11/2012
Re: Diamond and Pearl (song)
So these problematic links do they have to be fixed on each individual page or is it a main template that we can edit to change every single one of them? I'm not always the best one to speak to about Templates but if you find I'm not quite helping the situation then I would talk to Gaehwasan -- Hstar (Talk) 16:36, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
I'd prefer if you didn't, for now. The wiki's about to move, so nominating me right now is badly timed. But, thank you for running your idea by me. ChaosVoid 16:50, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Spanish
The links on the sidebar (in monobook, or at the bottom? in oasis) to the spanish Pokémon wiki are inserted by just putting a link with the "es:" prefix (for example, [[es:WikiDex]]), usually at the end of the page source. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:30, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
- I see them on the main page, for example, below the page categories. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 19:06, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
- If you don't see them that's because it's added through another template. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 20:30, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
Re:Your userpage
Sorry for the late reply. Sure you can use my coding, as long as it isn't a direct copy, you can use it. Crimsnnavy C S 19:32, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
The nomination page is for voting on who to put on the poll and every month I usually change it, but lately we don't have enough active editors that haven't won already to add to it, so we have just been adding active users to the actual poll and skip the nomination. Crimsnnavy C S 16:18, August 11, 2012 (UTC)
First sign after you post. Second, not sure. Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 12:07, October 13, 2013 (UTC)
I was wondering if you could come edit with us again. Energy X 18:21, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

Mariah Carey Promises New Music by Summer 2012
Mariah Carey teased her lambs — aka her fans — on Twitter the other day, confirming that she is in the studio and has been "mixing up some concoctions." Sounds like Mimi is a musical bartender. She then tweeted a graphic with her initials, indicating that tunes will be coming Summer 2012. OMG, we're not worthy, we're not worthy.
Oh little lambs, can we expect a new Mariah Carey single? A new album? A soundtrack contribution? A free download? Some live material? Summer "officially" began this week and it's certainly a ripe time for Mrs. Nick Cannon and the mother of Dem Babies to get back to doing what does best — and that's hitting dem octaves with that glass shattering voice of hers.
Carey's tweets are certainly teases, since there is little detail, but she's got us totally wrapped around her well-manicured finger with curiosity and anxiety. While she did perform an Obama tribute recently, we're dying for more deets on this on deck material. Wouldn't it be adorbs if she included coos and/or vocal sounds made by her year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan?
Below are the singer's tweets.
So.. Summer 2012.. Been in the lab, mixing up some concoctions for you, hope you like it!! #MCSummer2012

Small budget, small window of time, big list of Must Dos? The European Encounter should do the trick. Make your way through 10 countries, catching some rays on the Italian Riviera, downing pizza in Rome & exploring castles in Prague. If you know a better way to spend just under two and a half weeks, we need to hear about it!
Yourheart-pounding adventure kicks off today. Meet up with your Contiki posse & share notes on London town before hitting the road to Amsterdam.Shortly before we find our ferry for Europe, we'll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover. They owe their gorgeousness to their composition of chalk - you're learning and we haven't even left the UK!Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam!Cross off another country off your list as you cruise through Belgium on your way to Amsterdam.Tonight, the famed for fun Amsterdam is ours to explore. An undisguised Red Light District & plenty of bars are there for the curious.
Amsterdam is cute as a button & sure to win your heart with its canals, obscure museums & a café culture like no other. Today use your time to get local, bar hop, museum crawl, and see what other tastes take your fancy, this place is famous for pancakes, frites and so much more, and that's all before we enjoy a delicious included dinner with the rest of our Contiki fam.
Out of Amsterdam, onto the autobahn and on the fast-track to uber-cool Berlin. That's on today's agenda.On the world map of cool party vibes, Berlin has a gold star. We've got two nights to explore every inch of this amazing city, and we'll kick it off with a bit of history into the city and its troubled and interesting past. Once we arrive your Trip Manager can point you in the right direction to go and see the sights.
On the world map of cool party vibes, Berlin has a gold star. We've got two nights to explore every inch of this amazing city, and we'll kick it off with a bit of history into the city and its troubled and interesting past. Once we arrive your Trip Manager can point you in the right direction to go and see the sights.
"More city hangs" you'll all scream in unison as we motor out of Berlin, high on life & still wanting more. Since you asked so nicely, let us present you with Prague, the darling of Europe.A drive from Berlin to Prague would not be complete without stopping in Dresden. Destroyed by World War II, the rebuilt town is now a symbol of resilience, soaked in the rebirthed beauty of an Opera house, the domed Frauenkirche, & the Royal Residence.On arrival in the compact & lovable city of Prague, we'll get out and go exploring, seeing castles and cathedrals and learning of Bohemia Kings and gothic history.
With a full day to loiter, expect an entire photo album of Gothic architecture, market antiques & you cheers-ing local beer; not to mention life! We'll explore the city one of our favourite ways today, by bike, with our Local Guide to show us all the sights and sounds of this epic spot including the Charles Bridge, St Vitus Cathedral and city spots that have put this Eastern city on the map. The night is yours to amble around the Old Town Square and find a few haunts to let the hours slip away in.
We warned you about falling head over heels for Prague! Sorry kids, you cannot live here forever.Onwards we go - it's time for the mountain ranges that made the Sound of Music famous. Also home to Mozart, you can be pretty certain this place knows a beat. Today we'll also see the largest preserved fortress in Central Europe - Hohensalzburg - and have the chance to partake in the Sights & Sounds of Salzburg. Never a dull moment! This evening opt to venture off the beaten and visit a farming family in the hills above Salzburg who invite us into their home to eat, drink and learn about their lives. The family have lived on this farm for many generations and now look to tourism to help support them and their local community. The ribs you will eat come from the next-door neighbour, the fruit for the schnapps from the village and the service from the locals.
Austria, you are an overwhelming beauty. Although it would be nice to stay forever, it's time for us to cross the border and prepare to stuff ourselves full of all things pizza & pasta. Yes, traveller we're making our way to Italy!You'll think you've seen enough beauty for one day after taking in the Central Austrian Alps, and then we'll arrive in Venice & your jaw will hit the floor over hidden lanes, story book bridges & a private canal boat ride.
Farewell floating city, but Italy, we're not done with you yet, our next destination the Eternal City of Rome is just around the corner.The afternoon will really take it up a notch as we uncover Italian icons in the country's capital of Rome as you get a glimpse of it's glory by night. Gelato, pizza and ancient monuments - perfetto!
Rome wasn't built in a day - so get up and get going early to make the most of this ancient city.When in Rome...take an optional guided tour of the Vatican Museums, including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Religious or not, the Vatican's Italian Renaissance church will send shivers down your spine. This is also the day to learn a thing or two about the Colosseum & do a bit of your own exploring.Then hit the streets for your own discoveries. Snap pink azaleas by the Colosseum, throw coins in fountains and sip espresso in a pretty street watching Italian life float by.
We may be hitting the road again, but we're not done with Italy just yet. We have one more city to lust over…The dome of Duomo Cathedral sits above the city making certain we know we have arrived in Florence. Take a moment to take in the unique beauty of this beautiful city where culture and la dolce vita is evident in every direction you look at. Tonight you can choose to begin your Tuscan love affair at an optional dinner - think olives, cured meats, crostini & wine.
Hopefully by now you are head to toe in fresh leather, you've eaten your body weight in antipasto, and you're feeling fresh as a daisy and ready to farewell Florence.No trip around Europe is complete without seeing the world's most famous #AwkwardLean, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Once you've got that perfect snap of you holding the thing up like you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, we'll be on the fast-track to the Italian Riviera.Hello beautiful! The 'Five Lands' or Cinque Terre is completely beautiful and will take your breath away with their stunning colours, washing hanging out windows and picture perfect setting. Perched on a cliff and overlooking the Ligurian Sea this is 100% bucket list worthy destination, use the included day pass to explore this colourful heaven, stopping for an Aperol Spritz on the way too, all in the name of culture of course!
Walk away from the Italian Riviera with plans to come back here for a few weeks or months, why not?Swans float under wooden bridges, snow-capped mountains stand regally behind us & chocolate tastes like heaven on earth. You're in the Swiss Alps & you cannot wipe the smile off your face.
Out with the altitude, in with the inner-city Parisian bliss. Once we've crossed the border out of Switzerland we will be coasting through the pretty wine producing region of Burgundy before our arrival in Paris.Lamp-lit bridges, a sparkling Eiffel Tower, & evening coffee haunts, tonight we fall in love with everything Paris. Our Trip Manager fills us in on the city's secrets, then to celebrate our first night in the city, we'll head up to the viewing platform on Montparnasse tower.
If you're waiting for a chance to indulge yourself in all things Paris, today is your day. With our last night looming, we'll start with a morning visit to Montmatre's cobbled street, village-esque cafes, street artists and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica . Later you have plenty of time to wander up the Champs-Élysées for a pastel-hued macaron at the original Ladurée, then pop in to local favourite Colette, drool over haute couture on rue Saint-Honoré, admire the Notre-Dame cathedral while juggling coffee & sugared crêpes, or hustle your way through the crowds for a glimpse of the enigmatic Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Just don't wear yourself out, because tonight you have the chance to grab tickets for dinner at the Nouvelle Eve caberet show, an optional group evening out to perfectly top off your time in the city of lights.
Soak up your last dose of Paris this morning over a coffee and croissant and marvel at how much you've seen. And how close you've grown to your Contiki pals. Sob! Hop back on the coach for a complimentary transfer to CDG airport this morning, or stay onboard for the ride back to London. Plenty of time to start planning the next reunion...What a journey! Say a fond farewell to the group as you wrap up the trip on arrival in London.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison apologized Wednesday for "getting in trouble the past few weeks" but declined to discuss details of his two arrests or what he had to do as punishment.
Morrison is suspended for Saturday's season opener against Toledo. Coach Will Muschamp initially suspended the starting middle linebacker for at least two games but reduced it to one game Monday.
"First off, I want to apologize for getting in trouble the past few weeks," Morrison said. "It's sincere for me. I apologize to my coaches, my teammates and everybody for everything that went wrong. It's behind me. I'm moving forward from it. I learned from it. I just want to play football."
Morrison will be eligible to play Sept. 7, when the 10th-ranked Gators play at Miami.
The sophomore from Bolingbrook, Ill., is expected to be one of Florida's top defenders this season.
The Gators can only hope he's better at tackling than apologizing. He failed to come across as sincere or remorseful during an eight-minute session with reporters Wednesday. He brushed aside many questions, seemed defiant during some answers and even had a huge tattoo on his right arm that read "Don't Trust Me."
"I'm not fixin' to run from y'all," he said. "I want this to be done with. I'm coming and telling y'all right now. Any of y'all interview me after this, I don't want to talk about it. I already discussed this with y'all. It's football from here on out. We talking football."
All the recent talk about Morrison centered on two arrests during a five-week stretch this summer.
He was arrested June 16 for allegedly punching a bouncer, an incident in which he reportedly told the victim "I am Antonio" before he punched him. Morrison received deferred prosecution on the simple battery charge, a deal in which he was ordered to stay out of trouble for six months.
He was jailed again July 20 and charged with barking at a police dog and resisting arrest. Both charges were dismissed a few days later.
According to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, Morrison walked up to an open window on a police car around 2:30 a.m. and barked at a K-9 named Bear. The dog barked back, leading a deputy to arrest Morrison for interfering with a police canine.
"I learned a lot," he said. "I took responsibility for everything. I just learned a lot from the whole situation as a person."
Morrison declined to say what he was ordered to do as punishment and refused to divulge anything Muschamp told him about being out late or getting in trouble.
"I ain't going to get into detail what I did," Morrison said. "But the whole situation, overall, that sent a message to me. And I learned from the situations overall, and I apologize again. I'm very sorry to all the Gator fans, my coaches, my teammates. That's me. That's not me being forced to do this. I wanted to come do this. I can't run from it, you know what I'm saying?"
Morrison missed the first eight days of fall practice before being partially reinstated.
"Worst part was being away from my teammates and not being around football," he said. "I mean, what else am I supposed to do? Me missing practice, that's a lot to me. Me missing those days in camp, that's a lot to me. So it's hard."
Nonetheless, when asked whether he has changed anything about his social life, Morrison scoffed.
"I take responsibility for being out," he said. "I said that. I'm really sorry for that. I take responsibility for the whole situation."

the sad untold story
the house was ravaged — its floors ripped, walls busted and lights smashed by owners who trashed their home before a bank foreclosed on it. hidden in the wreckage was an abandoned member of the family: a starving pit bull.
the dog found by workers was too far gone to save — another example of how pets are becoming the newest victims of the nation's mortgage crisis as homeowners leave animals behind when they can no longer afford their property.
pets "are getting dumped all over," said traci jennings, president of the humane society of stanislaus county in northern california. "farmers are finding dogs dumped on their grazing grounds, while house cats are showing up in wild cat colonies." - ap
the circumstances that follow foreclosure can be remorseless for pet owners. "they have a hard enough time even qualifying for a rental because their credit is shot, and 98% of landlords don't take dogs," nordine said. "so if you've been foreclosed and you have a pit bull, good luck."
it doesn't help that some landlords who do accept pets are doubling or tripling their pet deposits, according to moore of the orange county animal rescue coalition. - latte times

but the press hates him and they are not going to give him an inch. tucker told romney's spokesman last night that he couldn't figure out why romney would fight mccain on this timeline business. after all, even though mccain is obviously lying about this, he is seen as a strong leader and straight talker and romney is seen as a flip-flopper. doesn't it hurt romney to be seen flip-flopping like this? the spokesman, who is quite good, was sort of gobsmacked but carried on bravely despite the fact that the eye-batting, guileless tucker had just planted a disingenuous mudpie right in his face.
romney is a mormons. mormons disdain alcohol. therefor, there is no alcohol on romney's press bus.
we are not being snarky. we are amused at the ridiculousness of the idea that major american policy is manipulated predicated by the fact of who serves free booze and who doesn't. but think as jeff greenfield admitted about mccain's 2000 campaign press bus:
romney, mr. stiff mormon (and probably al gore, talking about stiff party-poopers) does not.

ysbella brave - one for my baby
this girl is a big, big hit on youtube...now, before you scoff in derision, take a listen. granted, the accompaniment is a cheesy karaoke track, the lighting (from her desklamp) is atrocious, and the camera work is non-existant (one static shot)...but the funny thing is, this girl can sing!
here's a nytimes review of ysabella (mary anne is her real name):
in her all about me vid, she says she's into hip-hop and gospel, but her sound is pure torch and jazz.
i love her. she has glassy eyes, with some elegantly tearful surface tension. and she's got exquisite cosmetics-counter makeup, and super-processed hair, and a big gorgeous-clowny musical-theater face that brings out the casting director in all of us. (roxie hart? sally bowles?)
we love her smokey, sultry, themanthatgotaway torch-song voice (and, we admit, she's kinda easy on the eyes). she says she's got an album coming out soon, and we'll be the first in line (or online) to buy it.
**addendum: after some correspondence w/mary anne on her comments page, she has decided to enable embedding, so here she is...

we know that our brothers and sisters have been bullied into believing that they can't organize and can't put a union in the workplace. well, in this campaign, we didn't turn our heads. we looked them square in the eye and we said, "we see you, we hear you, and we are with you. and we will never forget you." and i have a feeling that if the leaders of our great democratic party continue to hear the voices of working people, a proud progressive will occupy the white house.
...do not turn away from these great struggles before us. do not give up on the causes that we have fought for. do not walk away from what's possible, because it's time for all of us, all of us together, to make the two americas one.
thank you. god bless you, and let's go to work. thank you all very much.

edwards, 54, the party's vice presidential nominee in 2004, has failed to win any of the democratic primaries or caucuses so far, narrowly capturing second place in iowa and finishing a distant third in his native south carolina. however he has accumulated dozens of delegates in the process, and his backing could prove important to the remaining candidates.
and to be very honest, if the presidential race shapes up to be john mccain versus hillary clinton, we'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two, except that one has balls and the other's an old man.

the write guard
while on the line, skippy talked to many of his actor and writer friends, and, as with other venues in hollywood these days, the mood was upbeat and optimistic. more than once skippy has heard that the strike will be over within a couple of weeks.
now, of course, those are just rumors, and if you want to know how far relying on rumors can get you, just ask jason leopold.
still, there are some positive signs. for instance, our go-to girl for all things hollywood, nikki finke (back after an illness), is also reporting positive rumblings:
i can tell you that since tuesday [peter chernin, chairman and ceo. of fox] has been telling insiders that the moguls have decided to let the wga leadership (yes, even the guy they all hate -- dave young, who was in today's session) "declare a face-saving victory" in order to get a deal done. yesterday chernin…was reassuring people, "don't worry. it's done." my info is that it's far from done yet, but things are looking up to the point that one of my sources thinks this could get settled in time to hold a real oscars. sure, we've all been here before and seen talks break down after a few optimistic days. but now, according to my insiders, the moguls finally want a deal as much as the writers. will the deal be good enough?
the question remains, as nikki pointed out, will the offer be good enough for the writers, and, by extension, next june for the actors?
meanwhile as promised, here some pix from yesterday's sag-wga rally in front of 20th century fox:

we thought it ironic at the time, but now a bunch of picketers
in front of a poster for "the moment of truth" doesn't really
make the impact we thought it would. c'est la guerre!
this one's left over from a picket line last month in front of nbc...we just found it on our digital camera! we missed it until now! these con-danged new fangled machines! with their usb ports and bytes and bits! who can keep up with this technology anyway? you know the weather's all goofy now because of all the stuff the astronauts left on the moon! you kids get off my lawn!
addendum: via the culture ghost, here's yahoo's tally of new episodes left for your favorite series...the official result as of today? zero. and even if a contract is agreed upon tomorrow, it will still take a couple weeks for the membership to ratify it, and, with production schedules, the soonest you could hope to see a new episode of anything is april, by which time the season will be winding down.
(exception: for some reason, very probably strike-related, abc has chosen to wait until january 31st (two nites from now) to begin the new season of lost.)

three kennedys, no waiting!
mr. kennedy called mr. clinton sunday to tell him of his decision.
the endorsement, which followed a public appeal on mr. obama's behalf by caroline kennedy, the daughter of president john f. kennedy, was a blow to the clinton campaign and pits leading members of the nation's most prominent democratic families against one another.
mr. kennedy, a major figure in party politics for more than 40 years, intends to campaign aggressively for mr. obama, beginning with an appearance and rally with him in washington on monday. he will be introduced by ms. kennedy.

housing bubbles...in my wine...
via seeing the forest, things are still looking bad for the housing markets. asspress:
the commerce department reported monday that sales of new homes dropped by 26.4 percent last year to 774,000. that marked the worst sales year on record, surpassing the old mark of a 23.1 percent plunge in 1980.
the government reported that the median price of a new home barely budged last year, edging up a slight 0.2 percent to $246,900, the poorest showing since prices fell by 2.4 percent during the 1991 housing downturn.
the new report reinforced the view that housing is currently undergoing its worst downturn in more than two decades, with the slump threatening to surpass in some ways the severe housing recession of the early 1980s.
the housing weakness has dragged down overall growth and sent shockwaves through the rest of the economy including the financial sector, which is dealing with billions of dollars in losses in subprime mortgages. some analysts are worried that the fallout could become so severe it will drag the entire country into a recession.

shell oil
world demand for oil and gas will outstrip supply within seven years, according to royal dutch shell.
the oil multinational is predicting that conventional supplies will not keep pace with soaring population growth and the rapid pace of economic development.
jeroen van der veer, shell's chief executive, said in an e-mail to the company's staff this week that output of conventional oil and gas was close to peaking. he wrote: "shell estimates that after 2015 supplies of easy-to-access oil and gas will no longer keep up with demand." royaldutchshellplc.com via gristmill
the write deal at the write time
for the wga, the deals are a way to gain leverage in persuading the congloms to resume formal talks by asserting that the terms are reasonable enough for the indies to accept…
in a joint announcement, rko and the wga said the company's current production schedule, to be announced next week, includes several original screen projects, as well as the financing, production and distribution of a number of new versions of classic films from rko's 1,300-film library.
rko's ceo, ted hartley, said in a statement: "the negotiation with the guild was smooth and business-like; they kept their agreement and we kept ours. it all moved ahead at a steady pace and resulted in good feelings on both sides. this now releases the pent-up energies of the talented executives, producers, and writers at rko. we all are eager to get back to creating great films and innovative programming today."
wga west president patric verrone and wga east president michael winship said in a statement: "in the past, rko gave the world such classics as 'king kong,' 'citizen kane' and 'it's a wonderful life.' now it looks to the future, signing an interim agreement that recognizes fair and respectful compensation for writers on the internet and in new media. we applaud their forward thinking and are pleased to join with them in this agreement."
and one accidental beneficiary from all this brou-ha-ha may be tnt and tbs-tv, whose broadcast of the sag awards tonite could bring the stations very high ratings, in light of the lack of glamour, stars and overly-long acceptance speeches found on the golden globes and peoples choice awards. usatoady:
it's all possible because sag has one of the few awards ceremonies, and the most high-profile, to be granted a waiver by the wga; writers could work on the show, and the guild won't picket.
actors have been staunch supporters of the wga standoff with hollywood studio and network executives, and that could mean some politically charged acceptance speeches.

ask not what obama can do for you
sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals and imagine that together we can do great things. in those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible.
we have that kind of opportunity with senator obama. it isn't that the other candidates are not experienced or knowledgeable. but this year, that may not be enough. we need a change in the leadership of this country — just as we did in 1960.
we are tempted to write "perhaps even the nomination," but we don't count the clintons out just yet.

Labels: skippy's music club
Labels: obama
if one guy is wrong does that make the other guy write?
however, another famous and well-respected producer/writer, tom fontana (oz, homicide), isn't jumping for joy just yet. united hollywood:
1. the original content jurisdiction seems like smoke and mirrors -- how many tv series (made for internet) in the next three years will have a budget of $500,000? the highest budget i've heard for a current production is $350,000.
besides, when has a budget ever come before a script is written? that means while directors will be hired under a dga contract after the script is done and the budget is set, we writers will have no union contract to protect us. wouldn't it be better to require all amptp members to use a wga contract no matter what the budget is?
2. streaming rate confuses me, but i'm no economist (i barely passed high school math). the $1200 seems too little, especially because, despite the bright sunset provision on the horizon, we all know that after our patience over dvds and cable, we will have to live with the concept of a flat rate for the next twenty years.
this won't hurt guys like john or me, because as showrunners, we are also owners. but i wonder how the staff writers and, worse, freelancers will cope. and i find the 17 day / 24 day window to be exploitive, sending us to the well when it has already run dry.
i want the strike to end soon, i'm desperate to get back to work on my new series, but i want a fair deal.
people say the continuation of the strike will destroy our industry. well, if thats true, why are the studios so willing to bring on the apocalypse? maybe in three years we'll have more data about internet revenue, but why can't we be true partners in the uncertainty?
i realize i will be blogged to death but, hey, i can take the hits -- i have wga pension and health care.
make no mistake: this was not a strike by millionaire writers looking for second hamptons homes.
this was about a union of 10,500 workers, 2,500 in new york, 50% of whom are unemployed at any given time, middle-class working stiffs averaging $75,000 a year who sit in solitary rooms before intimidating blank screens or in "writers rooms" at major networks toiling for the entertainment of a bored nation and asking only for a fair slice of the hollywood pie.
"it's a feast-or-famine business," says sherry goldman, a spokeswoman for wga east.
"some years a writer earns just $5,000 from residuals. a writer needs to earn $30,000 to qualify for health insurance, which half our members don't qualify for every year. so much for millionaire writers on strike."
if/when the internet becomes the primary infrastructure for delivering content (anyone watch netflix on demand?), the revenue stream from residuals would dry up for the middle class writers (and actors). and not only will incomes dry up, but then it would become even harder to qualify for pension and health benefits.
(you may remember that we have discussed how residuals from dvd's also fund the benefits of iatse and other below the line workers in hollywood, also.)
keep your fingers crossed that a fair deal may still be struck in the current negotiations.

Draft Carnacki for President!
I thought, "What would be the best way to embarrass him?"
And then it struck me: collect more online signatures than him.
Here's my pitch:
At this point billionaire Mike Bloomberg, despite a massive marketing campaign and phony draft movement for president, has just 3,000 some signatures. I want to show a middleclassed horror blogger with a slighty insane reputation can draw even more signatures.
Here's where you sign the petition to embarrass Bloomberg.
Here's my qualifications to serve as president:
Yet even with those credentials, I'd still make a better president than Bloomberg. I've never embraced torturers and I've never cheered George W. Bush.
But let's face it: if someone with no money and a horrific reputation can collect more signatures despite Bloomberg's drawn out, phony Unity 08 effort, that would have to be terribly embarrassing to him and his handlers.
That's a good enough reason to sign the petition as any.
UPDATE: The Bloomberg people stopped by.
All anyone needs to know about Bloomberg to disqualify him as president (and there's much more to dislike him for too) is this:
What New Yorker in 2001 would've imagined that the mayor we then elected would neither act to restore what we lost at ground zero, nor press the president to make good on his "wanted dead or alive" threat or bullhorn promise that "the people who knocked down these towers" would "hear from all of us soon"? Don't we expect the mayor to be our badgering lobbyist in Washington for more than homeland security dollars? Don't we want him asking just what the "smoke 'em out" president meant by "soon"? Don't we all, in fact, think bin Laden still represents a threat, particularly to New York? And isn't Mike Bloomberg's silence a measure of his partisan softness on Bush, one of a plethora of indications that our politically deferential mayor prefers to push the mute button when our memories and our fears demand he turn up the volume?
Bloomberg also recently rebuffed press questions about his position on Iraq, insisting that "it's not a local issue and I don't have anything to say."
Thirty-three dead New Yorkers, a potential trillion dollars in resources diverted from homeland defense, a breeding ground for the subway attack he warned us about a few days ago—none of that makes Mute Mike speak out. Maybe he feels the same way about the linked question of the elusive Osama as he does about the war. Maybe, to Bloomberg, Bush's bin Laden blunder is merely another "foreign policy" matter unrelated to garbage pickup, making it one more pass he's giving a president who traded beards on us, cynically substituting Saddam for the man who killed thousands of our brothers and sisters.
Actually, as quiet as the mayor and his media allies would now like to keep it, Bloomberg has been quite willing to address these issues on and off over his mayoral years, invariably rallying to George Bush's side.

kucinich drops out, no one cares; thompson drops out, no one notices
"i will be announcing that i'm transitioning out of the presidential campaign," kucinich said. "i'm making that announcement tomorrow about a new direction."
kucinich has received little support in his presidential bid; he got 1 percent of the vote in the new hampshire primary and was shut out in the iowa caucuses. he did have a devoted following.
"today i have withdrawn my candidacy for president of the united states," read the statement. "i hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. jeri and i will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people."

get ready for higher food prices
in a state where water has become an increasingly scarce commodity, a growing number of farmers are betting they can make more money selling their water supplies to thirsty cities and farms to the south than by growing crops.
the shortages this season among the most intense of the last decade are already shooting water prices skyward in many areas, and los angeles-area cities are begging for water and coaxing farmers to let their fields go to dust.
"it just makes dollars and sense right now," said bruce rolen, a third-generation farmer in northern california's lush sacramento valley. "there's more economic advantage to fallowing than raising a crop." - pe.com/ap

"they know this is what you want to cover," mr. clinton told a cnn reporter in charleston, in an apparent reference to the obama campaign.
"shame on you," the former president added.
people, people, people! that's just the attitude we don't need! sure, the republicans have beaten us the last two presidential elections. sure, they're dirty campaigners. they've got the best advertising money can buy. hell, every candidate they've got running has their own personal fact masseuse. not masseur. masseuse. but it doesn't matter.
did you know that every republican candidate has a direct line to the conservative media infrastructure which they check every 48 hours to see if there's any change in their poll numbers? do you know they use the most sophisticated dog-whistle political methods from karl rove, lee atwater and scooter libby?
but it doesn't matter. it just doesn't matter. we tell you it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!
even...even if we win...if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we campaign so far above our expectations that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the electorate; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the republicans because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

a paul falls over the room
and i wondered why it is that the racist groups have no trouble understanding that this would be the consequences of paul's policies, while paul, lew rockwell, and the other mises institute intellects claim not to see that at all. then i remembered: these people don't see "groups" they only see individuals. and, apparently, when they look into their crystal ball, they see only one crazed armed individual facing off with another crazed armed individual.
and wouldn't the "market" solve that problem by leaving one of those individuals dead, thus out of the equation.

memo: don't be a jerk
from: skippy, sag member
re: your recent column
well, it really rains when it pours, doesn't it? it's easy to toss out hyperbole without actually dealing in facts, especially when you don't even bother to mention the latest (and quite available) news that makes the one side look good when you're trying to make them look bad.
don't get me wrong. you've tossed a few crumbs to the wga in your columns during this current labor action. and i'm sure the guild appreciates it.
but you don't really don't expect everyone to buy your adulation of the dga's negotiation, as if it was gil cates that got the amptp to offer residuals for internet usage, and not the prospect of an oscar-less february. do you?
oh, sure, john wells praised the dga settlement, and yes, he used to be president of the wga. but now he's a...what was that again? oh yes. a producer. but, you didn't need to include that fact in your cute letter, because that would have given some context that would have destroyed your clever repartee.
speaking of which, your whole "letter" to partic verrone was predicated on the implication that the wga members are itching to get back to the negotiating table, but mr. verrone, for some unexplained reason, needs convincing. "you need to act more like a statesman than a street fighter," you urge.
what i don't understand is what makes you think verrone was being so obstinate. as anybody who bothered to read any of the internet sites about the strike (united hollywood, nikke finke) this last weekend would know, informal talks had been arranged between the amptp and the wga. but again, including that information would have destroyed your cute approach of "scolding" the guild in your letter. couldn't have that!
i won't get into the specifics of why a contract that might be good for a guild of one set of workers with one set of skills and needs, may or may not be good for a completely different set of workers with a completely different set of skills and needs. only an idiot couldn't see that premise to be true on the very face of it. oh, sorry, was i being condescending there?
and, i love your hard-hitting yet sage advice to patric: "you should go back to the table and make the studios pledge not to leave, like they did before, until you have a deal." gee, why didn't the wga think of that? this whole sordid, bloody mess could have been avoided, if only patric verrone would have "made" the studios "pledge" not to leave! it's all so simple! (oh, there's that condescending attitude again! sorry!)
and, as to your advice not to "take on the grammys"...sorry, i had to take a minute to pick myself up from the floor, where i fell over laughing. aside from the fact that that beyonce and the foo fighters lead a group of musicians announcing they would show up at the grammys irrespective of any action by the wga (who, by the way, have chosen not to picket), tom petty pretty much summed up the industry's feelings about the whole thing in the associated press story, which quoted him as saying "i've never met a musician who gave a damn about the grammys, actually."
that's right, patrick. the only people that care about the grammys broadcast are music industry moguls (read: producers) and people who watch tv for a living (read: tv critics).
but i've got to give you credit for the best back-handed motivational image i've read in many a year. urging mr. verrone to go back to the negotiating table lest he be compared to yassir arafat...that's golden! what better way to set yourself up as the pure one, than to label someone you're trying to scold as a terrorist? i salute you sir, for snark so slimey that it recalls the best work of karl rove.
oh, sorry, was i being condescending again?

reality-based study is biased towards reality
the study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."
the study was posted tuesday on the web site of the center for public integrity, which worked with the fund for independence in journalism.
but it gets better. after the captain dismisses the information because of funding bias, he goes on to point out that all the information was already available:
there is no startling new information in the archive, because all the documents have been published previously.
which is it, captain? suspect information because lefty's funded the folks that compiled it, or old information that everyone already knew? is the info invalid because of who signs the paychecks, or is it valid but redundant?
one might think that the premise of one arguement destroys the validity of the other.
or not, we suppose. the hardly-ever-right wing bravely continues to guard against old, sorry, we mean suspectly-funded, information! they must protect the people! the people who need people!
they're the luckiest people in the world!

on the other hand, such things can be messy. digby has cut off her comment section to avoid such:
a lot of criticism has come my way recently because i won't "endorse" anyone and this has led to people making assumptions about my position. but the truth really is that i am not invested in any of the candidates…
i've been closely following the sexist treatment of hillary clinton in the press --- i always monitor the media narratives and this one was indisputably powerful and instructive. (eric boehlert has a column up about the tweety effect today.) and i've also been critical of some of obama's post-partisan rhetoric because i just disagree with it as a matter of strategic principle, even as i understand why he is doing it. those two things seem to have led readers to believe that i am a biased, possibly paid, closet clinton shill, which is what turned the comment section into a war zone.
so we can relate to the passion, and sometimes lack of perspective, of the voters in this presidential campaign. but we really mourn the lack of comments on digby's fine blog.
because it's one of the best blogwhoring venues we have, and now we'll just have to got to crooks&liars more.

He could call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire and then negotiate arms-control agreements. He played the balance and the music beautifully.
no mention that the reason grandma has to eat cat food is reagan and greenspan cut social security benefits while raising the social security taxes and called it "saving social security"?
no mention of ronnie's posse and their role in giving aid to terrorists in exchange for holding americans hostage until after the 1980 election?
no criticism of the repulsican shell game of shifting taxes to working americans while calling them tax cuts?
if this is how obama and clinton play to their base what do they have in store for us when they need to give repulsicans a reach around?

democrats - home of racism
cbs's dick meyer says older americans have so far proven unwilling to vote for barack obama
it's not all that hard to figure out that older voters would vote for the person who is running on "experience" just as it's not surprising that younger voters would vote for the man who promised "change." fergawdsake, it's obviously not racism inside the democratic party among a generation of liberal baby boomers who fought for civil rights alongside african americans.
the people who don't like blacks are in the party where there are none. to say that democrats over 45 are voting for hillary because they are racists is calumny. there's no evidence that racism is involved at all.
as digby points out, the mmm doesn't consider that the younger voters may not have even been socially mature (read: aware) of politics 10 years ago when the clintons did their notable work; that is to say, the clinton brand means far more to a 45-55 year old, who was 30 to 40 during the clinton presidency, than a 22 year old today who was 4 years old when bill clinton took office.
also, as many commenters on digby's post point out, obama's kind words for st. ronald the alzheimer would rub any democrat who was actually alive in the 80's the wrong way.
this time parameter would obviously leave out any young obama supporter under the age of 30, who, even if they were alive during reagan's presidency, were not politically cognizant to recognize the damage that king's row did to the country.

The Full Prabal Gurung For Target Lookbook Is Here (With Prices)
It's finally here: after months of anticipation, the full lookbook and prices for Prabal Gurung's collaboration with Target have arrived.
Gurung's collection of ready-to-wear, accessories, and shoes will be available in Target stores and on its website from Feb. 10 to March 23, and prices will run from $13 to $200. The most expensive piece is a light blue leather biker jacket, while a few pieces of jewelry round out the lowest price point. The offering features a number of floral pieces, and everything in it speaks to Gurung's modern and romantic aesthetic.
Speaking of romance, it's fitting that this collaboration would launch so close to Valentine's Day. Gurung said these clothes were made for falling in love.
"The collection is inspired by a girl's journey through the different stages of love and the clothes she wears during each milestone — from the first date to meeting the parents to the engagement," Gurung said.
A look at all the pieces, and their prices, here in the gallery.

"There are only a few kids in 15 years I can remember having to look up to when they were freshmen," O'Connell said. "When you get at
Penn High School freshmen football coach Keith O'Connell needed only one glance to know Braxston Cave would be a special player.
"There are only a few kids in 15 years I can remember having to look up to when they were freshmen," O'Connell said. "When you get at that level and I have to stand up and get a crick in my neck to look up at them, you know they're a significant size for a 14-year-old boy.
"Braxston's sheer size ... at that level, you're playing freshmen football, and at that point, he was 250 pounds and around 6-foot-1, maybe 6-2, and he was so aggressive. You can't coach that aggressiveness at that level. He could play offensive and defensive line without much of a break ever. He could dominate both sides of the line.
"You knew right then that he was going to be fun to watch over the next few years."
Cave, now 6-3 and 304 pounds, will anchor Notre Dame's offensive line at the center position as the No. 1 Fighting Irish (12-0) battle for a national championship against No. 2 Alabama (12-1) on Jan. 7.
Cave started playing center on the varsity as a high school sophomore.
"We had to talk Braxston out of playing defense," O'Connell said. "He wanted to play there. It's the Penn 'Wild Bunch' defense, the prestige of playing defense. Between his freshmen year and when he got to the varsity, he figured out he was going to be more needed and much more of a player on offense."
Cave started all 12 games for the Fighting Irish this season, and was a candidate for the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy. He was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, an award for the top center in college football, won by Alabama's Barrett Jones. Cave was a second-team All-American.
"For me, it's been a great experience, being close to home and around people I've known my whole life and who have supported me,'" said Cave. "This is really special. The recruiting class I came in with was the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. This is what we anticipated to do since the day we got on campus. It feels good to finally put everything together and be in this position."
Cave has maintained close ties to Penn throughout his Notre Dame career.
"Being from close to here, it's nice to get back and see all the people who helped me get to where I'm at," Cave said. "The guys on the (Notre Dame) team love to see the high school games. I talk about Penn all the time, so everybody wants to see what it's all about."
That connection to the Notre Dame program certainly has meant a lot to Penn.
"Our players love seeing guys like Manti Te'o and Michael Floyd on our sidelines," O'Connell said. "Braxston has been great to our program. He's come back and given the kids pep talks, he came to our homecoming pep rally. He's really remembered the program and given a lot back to it."
Fighting Irish offensive line coach Harry Hiestand said Cave's understanding of Notre Dame football has served the Irish well.
"Braxston loves the game and loves Notre Dame," Hiestand said. "He goes out every day and tries to do the best he can for the university and the football team. He's a fifth-year player. He knows the guys and he knows the university. He understands how things work.
"He does a lot of things to help the younger guys. He uses his experience to guide the other guys in the right direction. When you've lived it and you've made good decisions, bad decisions, and you know what a guy is about to do, you can kind of foresee the future a little bit. That's where Braxston's leadership has been really valuable for the younger guys."
Hiestand said Cave worked hard to recover from a foot injury that cost him three games last season. The former Chicago Bears assistant coach said Cave's play this season has earned him plenty of attention from scouts for the upcoming NFL draft.
"Braxston will get a very good look," Hiestand said. "He's played a lot of football, and there's a lot of good film on him. They'll see him blocking good people. I think he'll have a good opportunity (to get drafted)."
Cave, though, is focused only on Alabama.
"Alabama's defense is outstanding," Cave said. "I think what really helps us is that our defense is outstanding. Going against those guys every day is really going to help prepare us."
Although Alabama is heavily favored, the Fighting Irish aren't fazed by the underdog role.
"We're used to being the underdog," Cave said. "We've been the underdog all year long. We're just going to continue going to work. It's an us-against-the-world mentality. We've taken that into every game, and it's worked out well for us."
