Should all parks be public? A look at the MoMA Sculpture Garden in New York
A lot of people are upset at the proposed destruction of the Folk Art Museum in New York for yet another expansion of the Museum of Modern Art. One if the sops that the MoMA is throwing to pacify the critics is the promise to open the wonderful sculpture garden to the public; it is now separated by that eighteen foot high white wall between it and 54th street.
There are a lot of mixed emotions about this. It's one of my favourite spots in Manhattan, a place that is quiet and serene, a private secret garden. I worry that it will become like the High Line, which reminds me of the old Yogi Berra aphorism, "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
If MoMA throws open its garden, what could happen? How do stewards of cultural landscapes, whether an individual site (like the garden), a larger site (like New York's High Line), or a much, much large site (like the City of Savannah), manage the visitor experience, which ranges from restorative contemplation to active stimulation?
He says of the High Line: "Maybe it's time for some form of congestion pricing or HOV (High Occupancy Visitor) lanes."
Architect Philip Johnson was asked:
"Is [the garden] at its best when there are very few people in the garden or when there are a lot?" Johnson replied: "It's better to have a few, of course, because then you get the feeling of the space. But it can take solid crowds." That takes us back to how we measure success in terms of the visitor experience. Johnson himself said: "You need a place to relax after looking at the artwork. You're so relieved that there is no painting to focus on."
It is such a difficult question for a TreeHugger urbanist. We alway say that people can live in smaller spaces in places like New York because the city (and its parks) are your living room. Shouldn't every park be open to the public? Read the whole article: Is the MoMA Sculpture Garden Doomed?
I don't know about this one. Quick poll:

Invasion of the Browser Snatcher
Q: Windows Update changed my browser to Internet Explorer 7 one day. It screwed up the PCMag.com discussion forums. The compose box is tiny, and the format buttons are gone. What can I do? — Puzzled Reader
A: Microsoft did indeed push out the update to Internet Explorer 7 via the regular Windows Update channel. On at least some systems, the update process is arduous, requiring a reboot and then completely taking over the computer for 15 to 20 minutes. If you use a default browser other than IE, you may find the default set back to IE after the update. That shouldn't be a problem: Just launch your regular browser, and when it asks to make itself the default, click Yes.
It's true, though, that some pages don't display correctly under IE7, including PC Magazine's discussion forums. Microsoft recognizes the problem and has provided the User Agent String Utility 2 (search on the name at www.microsoft.com/downloads). You have to download the UAS utility from IE7 because it requires "Windows Genuine Advantage" validation.
When you run UAS, it launches an instance of IE7 that lies to Web sites, claiming to be IE6. In many cases—including that of the PCMag.com forums—this is enough to fix any problems.

First-Time Trip to Western and South Australia
My reasons for having never been to Australia can be summed up by being afraid. Namely, afraid that I'd love it so much that I'd never want to leave, or afraid that I'd meet a blonde hair, blue eye Aussie surfer gal and stay forever. Yes, for real. You remember the Lay's slogan, "Bet you can't just eat one"? That's how I felt about Australia, that I couldn't just visit once. I'd visit it, and immediately fall in love with it. That sentiment was heightened because of good friends (and Aussie roommates) who've visited or lived there and told me that it could become my favorite place I've traveled to, or rather, that I'd go and never return.
Well fears aside, it's finally time for my first trip to Australia. Armed with a boomerang, an Australian work visa and a full 10-day Western and South Australia itinerary, I leave on Saturday for my first trip to Australia.
Australia has long been one of the most fascinating places in the world to me. Let's start with the obvious: It's an island-continent-country combo. Also obvious: Do Aussies not have the sexiest accent? But beyond being home to my favorite accent, it's also home to one of my favorite drinks, Bundaberg, which is in my opinion the best ginger beer in the world (Though Bundaberg makes a ton of other great drinks, as well as their own rum). Also, Tim Tams; they are basically the Nutella of Australia.
But perhaps what I love about Australia is this balance that both the country and people strike. Australians are the life of the party (and can hold their beer like no other), yet they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Australia is beautiful, yet unassuming, and largely stay out of the news. When was the last time you read a major headline involving Australians? In Bill Bryson's book, In A Sunburned Country, he states that Australia catches news attention about as much as Belarus and Burundi. So basically never, except perhaps in the early 1900s during the "Great Emu War," when the military went to war against ravaging emus, and lost. Yes, that really happened. (Having lived with Aussies for the last two and a half years, I've come to learn a few things about this destination I've frequently day-dreamed about visiting, but never actually visited.)
This first trip feels right for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I'm visiting the two Australia states I've wanted to visit more than any other, South and Western Australia. It's not that I didn't want to visit the other Australian states and see the likes of Sydney and Melbourne. However, I wanted to visit places that most Americans probably aren't as familiar with, providing a glimpse into Australia beyond Melbourne and Sydney.
My first Australia trip will largely be in and around Perth, Western Australia and Adelaide, South Australia. It feels kind of like if Aussies came to America and first visited San Diego and Austin, skipping destinations like Los Angeles and New York City.
My Western Australia and South Australia trip can be summed up as a fooboozy adventure. While Australia is often associated with great wine, the local craft beer and spirits are making a name for themselves, too. Lonely Planet, recently named Western Australia, and more specifically, Fremantle, as one of the best destinations for 2016. Naturally, I'm beginning there, with a visit to the Swan Valley (Western Australia's oldest and most visited wine region) to Mash Brewing, Feral Brewing, and the Great Northern Distillery, and in Fremantle, to Little Creatures Brewery, which every Aussie I've talked to this week (which is like four people) has recommended. In between all that is a trip to Rottnest Island, just off the coast of Fremantle. Google it; there's nothing rotten about it (or see below for reference).
Meanwhile, stop two, Adelaide, was one of Lonely Planet's top destinations in 2014. My time in Adelaide will include visits to Lady Burra Brewery, Pirate Life Brewery, Tin Shed Distilling, and wait for it.....the Prancing Pony Brewery. You guys, Australia has a Prancing Pony (<<For you Lord of the Rings peeps). I'll introduce myself to the bartender as Mr. Underhill and ask if he's seen Gandalf. From here, too, I'll be flying to Port Lincoln, on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, where I'll be charged with gathering and cooking my own food (which sounds so very Australian, or like something you do during the Zombie Apocalypse).
What's unique about this trip (hosted by Tourism Australia and Air New Zealand) is that my flight on Air New Zealand is in conjunction with a special deal on flights from LAX and SFO to eight Australian destinations for the same price (promotion ends later this week on Nov. 15). Let me repeat, you can fly to eight destinations in Australia for the same price. Winter may be coming in America, but not in Australia, because it's come and past. So perhaps it's Christmas that's coming.
Now to pack, which will most likely turn into making my Aussie playlist while working on my Australian accent.
For those who have been, what are your Western and South Australia tips/recommendations?

So Ken has been seeing this Doctor/nutritionist. A friend told him about this guy that can help treat certain ailments through diet, i.e. muscle and joint inflammation, skin issues, allergies…whatever, I'm not feeling it. The doctor eliminated only a few things from Ken's diet for the next month and I've been following the same thing, why not, it's not so hard. But then he told Ken to give up wine for a month and with the roll of an eye and flaring of nostril I yelped, "Do you want to die healthy or happy?", "I guess we're not going to Italy anytime soon", "Should we order a Cab with our steak?, oh never mind". Next.
In between trying to help rescue dogs, putting an end to trophy hunting, keeping a watchful eye on factory farming foils and eliminating human trafficking, a girl can forget to do her weekly facial peel! Summer's almost here and soon enough we'll be dusting off the old bikinis. My rear will need some dusting off as well and by dusting off, I mean serious self-tanning. What a difference a season makes?!
People who spend year round in the Hamptons know good and well that summer is coming when a Bentley, Audi or black Range Rover filled with screaming children is passing you on a NO PASSING country road doing 55 mph in a 30 zone. They, or their chefs, end up in Citarella holding up the seafood guy or butcher for 20 minutes ordering either all the oysters yanked from the Peconic bay or a side of grass fed Australian beef for their 40 guests coming for dinner. The restaurants I've been going to ALL WINTER won't have room from Memorial to Labor day, except my beloved Bell and Anchor who tries very hard to fit us in. Whatever dude, no complaining on the yacht (as Ken loves to say).
With everything going on in the world, I'm grateful for my two weeks of Spring.

Through the front nine of the final round at the Florida State Amateur Championship in Vero Beach, Jacob Kline appeared poised to erase a six-shot deficit and challenge for his second tournament victory in less than a week.
Another painful battle with the par-4 11th curbed his furious Sunday rally.
Trailing by two shots entering the hole, Kline double-bogeyed No. 11 a day after making triple-bogey on the hole. His latest misadventure forced him to settle for an impressive, yet frustrating, second-place finish at 1-under on the day and 4-under for the tournament.
Gabriel Lench carded a final-round 72 to move up the leaderboard while staving off Kline's comeback attempt and held on to win the 97th annual event at 6-under.
"It's disappointing, but it's still a good finish," Kline said. "What I said to myself at the beginning of the week was if I shoot even par, that's really, really good at this golf course, so this week was a nice confidence boost."
Kline, a 17-year-old who plays golf at St. Augustine High, faced a considerable challenge entering the final round. At 3-under for the tournament, he was six strokes off the pace of leader Edward Figueroa and three shots back of Lench and Chase Cutshall, who sat tied for second.
A strong opening nine holes immediately pushed Kline into contention. He started the round with a birdie on No. 1 and recovered after making bogie on the par-3 2nd to string together birdies on Nos. 6 and 7. While Kline trimmed strokes off his score, Figueroa and Cutshall tumbled down the leaderboard.
Figueroa carded a final-round 79 to finish tied for third with J.D. Tomlinson and R.J. Nakashian at 2-under for the tournament. Cutshall shot 77 on the day to finish 1-under overall and earn a lone sixth-place finish.
Kline moved to within one stroke of Lench when the two made the turn before another nightmarish bout with No. 11 dropped him off the pace.
He recovered to finish his round with six pars and a birdie on No. 14, but was still aggravated with his missed opportunity despite a strong showing in the one of the country's premiere amateur tournaments.
"I played that hole 6-over for the whole tournament," Kline said. "That's it right there. I would have won by four if I would have just made pars."
Ponte Vedra Beach's Michael Smith labored through a difficult final round and finished the tournament tied for 37th at 9-over. After playing just 1-over through three rounds, the Nease graduate shot 80 on Sunday to conclude his weekend.
St. Augustine's Spencer Schindler rounded out the local participants remaining in the field by tying for 57th at 15-over for the tournament.
Although still fuming over his difficulties on No. 11, Kline agreed the tournament was a step in the right direction for the development of his game as a whole.
"Second place is still a pretty good finish considering I just wanted to be in the top 10 coming into it," Kline said. "I still don't feel terrific, but I feel pretty good about my game."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --- The Becker College women's basketball team won at Lesley University, 50-38, on Monday evening.
Lesley were resticted to just two points in the second quarter and as a result their early advantage was overturned with the Hawks taking a 24-14 half-time lead. The travelling team stretched their winning margin in the third quarter before Lesley did their utmost to trim the gap in the final 10 minutes. Central to Becker's success was the performance of forward Adrianna Dowdy who ended the night with a total of 22 points. Karyn McEvoy took over from Dakota Jones as Lesley's chief scorer with the freshman landing 12 points, all of which came from outside the three point arc. Lesley are now 4-17 for the season while Becker improve to 13-8.
Lesley guard Karyn McEvoy was busy in her own half of the court early on with three defensive rebounds as Becker applied plenty of pressure early on. The Hawks went on an early six point streak with star player Adrianna Dowdy making two jump shots.
The Lynx were more accurate from long range in the first quarter as they converted four three pointers with the final conversion from Abby Henderson giving the hosts a 12-10 lead as the opening 10 minutes of play came to a conclusion.
Just like the first quarter, the Hawks started quicker in the second period with a 12 point streak. Cassidy Harrison and Jazlyn Contreras landed a pair of three pointers each during their side's period of superiority.
Following an Abby Henderson rebound, Lesley worked the ball up court and gained their only score of the second quarter courtesy of a jump shot from senior Theresa Pereira. Adrianna Dowdy responded for Becker with a layup to give her side a 24-14 cushion as the teams took a 15 minute half-time rest.
Dakota Jones, who was named NECC player of the week earlier in the day, opened the scoring in the third quarter with a layup following a Karyn McEvoy defensive rebound. Jones' layup left eight points between the teams.
With five minutes remaining in the penultimate quarter, Theresa Pereira reduced Becker's lead to eight again following an assist from Linda Wallentine. Pereira scored Lesley's remaining two points of the quarter with a jump shot effort to grind Becker's eight point run to a halt.
Hawks head coach David Bostick, in his fourth season, called a timeout with just over 11 seconds to go in the third quarter. His brief team talk was successful as Becker's Jazlyn Contreras sank a layup which drew a loud reaction from the Hawks bench. Becker led 39-23 with only 10 minutes of action remaining.
Adrianna Dowdy gave the Hawks their biggest winning margin of the game of 21 points when she grabbed hold of a offensive rebound to land a basket. The game was out of Lesley's reach at this stage but encouraginly they battled and slimmed the deficit to 12 points by the final sound of the buzzer.
Lesley landed 12 points inside the last five and a half minutes with Karyn McEvoy firing in two three pointers, the second of which came after Dakota Jones collected an offensive rebound.
Becker were sharper off turnovers with 17 points compared to Lesley's final total of eight.
The winners had a squad of 14 players to choose for selection whilst Lesley only had eight players available. In the bench points category, Becker hit 10 points while Lesley had no scores coming from reserves. Lesley head coach Jake Mattleman only introduced one reserve, Madelyn Whipple, compared to his counterpart David Bostick who brought on five reserves.
Karyn McEvoy 12 points, 6 rebounds
Theresa Pereira 9 points, 3 assists
Adrianna Dowdy 22 points, 8 rebounds
Cassidy Harrison 8 points, 6 rebounds
Lesley welcome Wheelock College to Nicholas Athletic Center on Wednesday, February 5 with a 8pm tip-off. Becker are also at home on the same night with a slightly earlier tip-off time of 7.30pm against Dean College.

White Lion
Michelle LaRose talks with Mike Tramp for Metal Masters
Photographs by Michelle LaRose<
Hi! Welcome to Metal Masters. I hope you're enjoying the show tonight. I'm Michelle and tonight we have a very, very special guest, somebody that I've liked for many years, we're going to be talking to Mike Tramp from White Lion.
MM: Ok Mike, we're going to get the low-down on your career starting back in the 70's you were in a popular band called Mabel in your home land of Denmark?
Mike: Yes. I'm one of those that started very early on. I got into music already at the age of like thirteen and a half. Was involved in a youth club that was very musically active, theater and stuff like that. Then one thing led to another. When I was fifteen and a half, I somehow ended up joining a professional rock band with three members that were ten years older than me and already finished their High School, College, University etc. I went straight from not finishing my High School straight into that band. I played with that band up until 1982 which was basically when we ended up in New York City. It finalized our career right there, then I took over and started White Lion from that time. Prior to that time from 1976 to '82 I was living in Europe, of course, playing around in all the different country's. Recording albums. I was just a pup; I just ended up learning everything on album and on stage instead of in the rehearsal room, where maybe if I look back at it all I would have preferred to have it that way.
MM: You came to New York and formed White Lion, which was really huge in the 80's in the U.S. and abroad too. What are some of your fondest memories of being in White Lion?
Mike: This is the kind of question that you get asked a lot of times because people always think you get to play Madison Square Garden or something like that or you get your Platinum album and that's the highlight. But when you really look at it, to me it was really the formation of the band and the writing of the songs. Vito Bratta, the guitar player and myself who formed the band who wrote every song in the band's history… To me when I look back at that, "That" is my greatest accomplishment, creating the music that has lived on. Because, yes, I've toured with the greatest bands in the world. I've played for millions of people, I've sold millions of records but all that stuff is gone now and basically the only thing that still is there are the songs.
MM: You're here in the U.S. for just a very short time. You're here as "Tramp's White Lion" and you're only touring for a month? Why so short?
Mike: That's just basically what the tour is. These days, you're not nineteen anymore, you have more things in your life than just going out there and giving it all up for rock-n-roll. There's a fine balance in the whole picture in why you're doing it. With that, I have another life too. I have a son. I live in Australia. Tramp's White Lion is basically just a band right now that's going out and playing White Lion songs in the clubs. And besides that, I don't want to be negative or pessimistic but there's really nothing else to it. There's no future career in it. We're not going to sell any albums etc., etc. So it's just something I kinda' got talked into. Since '95 I've had my own solo career and I've already recorded five solo albums and that is what I do. When I get to do Tramp's White Lion and I go out there and I play some of the old songs for the fans and stuff like that, It's really just to give something back to those who still hang onto it. But really, at the end of the day, there's very little in it for me.
MM: As you mentioned, you're living in Australia. Why Australia as opposed to your home of Denmark?
Mike: To make a long story short, I have a son with an Australian woman and she decided she wanted to go back to Australia and I wanted to be where my son is.
MM: I hear you're currently working on an autobiography?
Mike: Yeah. This is something that has been in the works for quite a few years, between me and a very close friend that I met many years ago that did an interview with me. When I later read his interview, it was the first time I saw somebody writing and telling the story the way that I had told it. It was an interview that I'd done that was very deep so I really had an opportunity to really talk about that. It was also in my home country. This book has been written in Danish, which is my language, and later on we will translate it. It's more than just a musical book it has a lot to do with the whole way of growing up and the struggles that I went through. It's not so much about playing Madison Square Garden and selling Platinum records. It has a lot to do with the steps I took in life and the road that I've traveled.
MM: You've been working on your solo career. When your done with Tramp's White Lion here, are we going to see you come back as Mike Tramp with your solo music?
Mike: I would love to sit here and say "yes." It's kind of like when fans email me, "Why are you not coming to Canada? Why are you not coming here?" Basically the reason I'm not coming to Canada is because I'm not going to take $2,000.00 out of my pocket and fly to Canada and not have a gig. It really comes down to, "Is there a place for me to play?" It's already a struggle going out as Tramp's White Lion. It'd be ten times more of a struggle to go out as Mike Tramp, but that is the music I play today, it's what I do. That's obviously my goal but then again everything has to fit in the right boxes and the budget has to make sense. One thing I know for sure is that another album will come and where that will lead to is yet to be found out.
MM: Well I sure hope we see you as Mike Tramp, the solo artist back here in the States soon. Now we're going into some vintage White Lion with the video Wait right here on Metal Masters.

I'm working on a few kitchen remodels where the clients like subway tile. But...
Aren't we all getting a little used to it — you know — kind of like an old hat?
You can do subway tile expensively, with costly tile; or you can do it on the cheap. (It's great for that.) I think it has become the go-to look of this decade.
Many people are doing subway tile backsplashes a bit differently these days:
They're using a herringbone pattern.
Some of my clients are a little gun-shy about laying the subway tile in a style other than a brick or running bond manner. They are wondering if it's classic enough or timeless enough. Or whether it will be the next pattern to feel "of a certain era".
Personally, I think herringbone patterns are timeless. And with smaller, or longer, handmade glossy tile, they can look even more unique and special.
Herringbone patterns work well in a kitchen, where we want some kind of interest and, perhaps, a little more textural look on the backsplash without it overwhelming the kitchen with chaotic pattern. Also, it adds height to a space, as a result of the direction it's run.
The herringbone pattern has its roots in traditional, even old world homes. It's been around forever and we love it.
Now check out the gallery below to appreciate its timeless charm. ;-)

YUIConf 2012 Talk: Douglas Crockford on Monads and Gonads (Evening Keynote)
Our series progresses through the talks from YUIConf 2012 and takes us to the next one from Douglas Crockford. This was a lively evening keynote after the dinner at the conference. As always, keep up on the latest videos on YUI Theater and YouTube.
In this evening keynote from YUIConf 2012, the legendary JavaScript architect Douglas Crockford discusses one of the most elusive of all programming concepts: the monad. With this talk, Crockford attempts to break the long-standing Monad tutorial curse by explaining the concept and applications of monads in a way that is actually understandable to the audience.

5 Ways Dean Ambrose Could Return to the WWE
Former WWE champion, Dean Ambrose, has been off television for what feels like an eternity. The former Shield member picked up an injury at the end of 2017 and fans have been eagerly awaiting his return ever since.
Recent reports suggest that Ambrose could finally return to our screens at this year's SummerSlam, and if that is the case, then he can expect to receive one of the biggest pops of the night.
Ambrose is one of the most popular superstars in the WWE but he was beginning to lose a lot of momentum before he picked up his injury. Since returning to Raw in mid-2017, the Lunatic Fringe had not been seen anywhere near the main-event scene and was getting by on Shield nostalgia and very little else.
Ambrose's upcoming return presents the company with the opportunity to do something different with the character, and finally establish him as a top competitor in the WWE. Let's take a look at five ways the WWE could handle Dean Ambrose's impending return.
#1 Attack Seth Rollins
The most popular theory surrounding Dean Ambrose's return to the WWE is that the former Shield member will turn heel on his tag-team partner, Seth Rollins.
It was a year ago at SummerSlam that Ambrose and Rollins reunited to win the WWE tag-team titles, and most fans believe that the WWE's original intention was for Ambrose to turn on Rollins and for the two to square off at WrestleMania.
Rollins and Ambrose have faced off plenty of times in the past, working an extended program throughout 2015, but the dynamic would be much different second time with the face/heel roles reversed.
Seth Rollins is set to face Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam, and if he recaptures his Intercontinental title, then a post-match attack from Ambrose could be a very real possibility. Failing that, Ambrose could even briefly team back up with Rollins, only to turn on him in the coming months.

Apple just raised $1.35 billion of Swiss-franc denominated debt in two tranches (0.28% and 0.74% implied yields), according to the WSJ. Apple is raising debt to fund its capital return program. In what can only be described as being at the right place at the right time, Apple is essentially getting paid to raise debt.
Apple may enter currency swaps to effectively convert Swiss Franc-denominated notes to U.S. dollar-denominated debt, which would increase the effective "cost" of the debt. Even taking this cost into consideration, Apple is in a position to earn a small profit by issuing debt. By raising debt, Apple is able to use borrowed cash to buy back AAPL shares, thereby saving on dividend expense. All else equal, and assuming an estimated $13 million after tax currency swap cost, Apple would make a profit of $1 million by raising $1 billion of debt at a 0.28% interest rate, as depicted in the table below.
Exhibit 1: How Apple Can Make a Profit by Raising Debt
Apple will have raised close to $40 billion after including today's debt issuance. It is important to recognize that the total amount of debt is spread out over various maturities ranging from 2 years to 30 years, depicted in Exhibit 2.
Exhibit 2: Apple's Long-Term Debt
By holding debt with a wide range of maturities, Apple isn't on the hook to repay the $40 billion at once. Instead, Apple will be able to use U.S. operating cash flow (or foreign cash in the event of U.S. corporate tax reform) to repay the debt as it comes due.
What is management's long-term strategy by raising debt?
- Use debt to fund share buyback for what management considers to be undervalued AAPL shares.
- Once AAPL shares are appropriately priced, slow the pace of buyback.
- With slower buyback, U.S. operating cash flow can be used to repay debt as it comes due.
- Repeat cycle with AAPL share valuation being the primary determining factor.
Management is utilizing proper capital allocation practices to not only take advantage of what they consider to be undervalued AAPL shares, but deal with excess cash weighing on Apple's cost of capital. Since $158 billion of foreign cash can not be used for share buyback or dividends, management is raising inexpensive debt as a substitute. Market observers look at this as a sign that management is confident in Apple's future and that the company won't likely require $100+ billion of cash for organic growth opportunities.
There will be a day when raising debt isn't in Apple's (and shareholders') best interest, but that day isn't today.

You probably know Laurie Metcalf from her role as Roseanne's sister, Jackie, in the TV Sitcom Roseanne. Over the course of nine seasons, Laurie's portrayal of Jackie was warm and kind-hearted but a tad bit neurotic and always on edge. Laurie won two Emmys for that role on Roseanne. Before her career in television Laurie got her start in theater as a founding member of the legendary Steppenwolf Theater Company in Chicago. At the Steppenwolf she worked with the likes of John Malkovich, Terry Kinney and Gary Sinise.
This year, she's up for the best supporting actress Oscar for her role in Lady Bird. It's her first ever nomination for an Oscar. In Lady Bird she plays Marion McPherson, the mother of Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson. The McPhersons live in Sacramento and the whole movie is set in 2002. It's almost like a period piece from the Bush years. As "Lady Bird" approaches the end of her high school career their relationship is tested. The film examines their mother-daughter dynamic in a very realistic way -- it's messy, it's complicated, but there's also a lot of motherly love involved even if Marion doesn't exactly show it.
Jesse talks with Laurie about her long career and the parallels between her life and the mother she plays in Lady Bird. Plus, Laurie talks about what it was like to be reunited with the cast of Roseanne for the new television reboot after more than 20 years.
You can see Laurie Metcalf in upcoming redition of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women this spring on Broadway. And Lady Bird is still playing in select theaters.

Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez have written dozens of songs for movie and TV. Together the married couple have won award after award for their co-written songs. You've certainly heard the song they co-wrote called "Let It Go" from Disney's Frozen. The song was huge success. The theatrical version of the song reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2014 and a Grammy in 2015 for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
Robert's also written music for The Book of Mormon, Avenue Q, Scrubs and more. He's actually one of only 12 people to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award. Kristen and Robert are up for another Oscar this year -- this time for the co-written song "Remember Me" from Disney's Coco.
They talk to Jesse about the process behind writing that song, how they managed to sneak in adult jokes in children's songs, and how they find time in their busy schedules to be good parents, too. Plus, Jesse asked them about the first song they co-wrote together called "The Wide, Wide World," which is a song from Bear in the Big Blue House a television show from the early 2000's that aired on Playhouse Disney.
You don't want to miss it, the song is sung by a gang of puppet animals including a bear, a green lemur, and two purple otters. They had to rewrite the song about five times because they couldn't quite get the otter jokes right!

The Pointer Sisters have always been musical chameleons. They had huge dance-pop hits in the 1980s, like "I'm So Excited" and "Jump (For My Love)", but at that point they had already found success in genres from jazz to R&B to disco, and even won a Grammy for their country hit, "Fairytale". The sisters grew up in Oakland, California and were taught by their reverend father that rock and roll was 'the devil's work'. However, when their parents weren't around, they snuck in listening sessions to Elvis, The Supremes, and James Brown.
Sisters Bonnie and June Pointer formed the earliest incarnation of the group in 1969, joined within several years by Ruth and Anita. They recorded their debut self-titled album in 1973, and the single "Yes We Can Can" became their first hit. They went on to record more hits over the next few decades, including "How Long (Betcha' Got a Chick on the Side)", a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Fire", and "He's So Shy".
Ruth and Anita Pointer join us for a wild and entertaining interview about their signature vintage style, forging their own musical path, and mixing family with business.

John C. Reilly is an actor with tremendous range. More than almost anyone. For the past few years, he's produced and starred in a bizarre show called Check it Out! with Dr. Steve Brule. So why does a movie star have a faux cable-access show that runs in the middle of the night on adult swim?
Reilly's comic chops are well-documented in movies like Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. He's also played a number of dramatic roles in movies like Magnolia and Gangs of New York, and was nominated for an Oscar for playing the cuckolded husband in the movie version of Chicago.
This week, John C. Reilly will talk about why he chose to take on the goofy, open-hearted and blustery Dr. Steve Brule with comedy duo Tim and Eric, his summer of fun working on the set of Boogie Nights, and what he thinks his duties are as an actor.
Check it Out! with Dr. Steve Brule airs on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Thursday nights at 12:30 am.

Over the course of four short years, the teenage members of glam rock band The Runaways released four albums for a major label, toured the world, and unleashed their classic single, "Cherry Bomb". While the group was huge overseas, they never gained the same level of popularity in the US.
Rhythm guitarist and vocalist Joan Jett went on to acclaim with her band Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, but as Evelyn McDonnell tells it, The Runaways have never really gotten their due.
McDonnell wrote the book on the band. She's the author of Queens of Noise: The Real Story of the Runaways, based on interviews conducted with the influential "queens of noise". McDonnell found that the band's manager Kim Fowley had a tight grip on the group's sound, and that their studio albums didn't fully capture their unique sound and chemistry.
Join us as Evelyn takes us on a journey to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to hear where the band sounded their best: on a Japanese tour and a their album, Live In Japan.

You might know the actor Kristen Bell best from her years on the teenage detective series Veronica Mars, but that doesn't bother her. The way she tells it, she's got just as much love in her heart for Veronica as any fan of the show.
Veronica Mars, a jaded and sardonic high schooler, is following in her father's footsteps as a private investigator. While attending high school in the fictional beach town of Neptune, Veronica solved mysteries and grappled with the murder of her best friend, the absence of her mother, and boyfriends, all at once.
The show aired for three seasons on UPN and the CW, gathering a cult following and critical acclaim. Fans of the show clamored for more after its cancellation, and Bell and the show's creator, Rob Thomas, were determined to bring the series back to life. They were able to bring Warner Brothers on board with a Kickstarter campaign and the Veronica Mars movie came to fruition. It's now in theaters nationwide and available on VOD.
Since Veronica Mars' TV run has ended, Bell has kept busy with a number of movies, like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Frozen, and TV shows like Party Down and House of Lies.
Bell talks to us about the unique qualities of Veronica Mars, her first movie role in the cult classic Pootie Tang, and transitioning from playing a knowing teenager to a full-fledged grown-up.
BONUS: Kristen talks about her voice acting role in the Disney animated feature Frozen, and the evolution of the Disney heroine.

A group of geography students studied the "Seven Wonders of the World." At the end of the lecture, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the present-day Seven Wonders of the World. Although there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes: 1) the Great Pyramids of Egypt, 2) the Taj Mahal, 3) the Grand Canyon, 4) the Panama Canal, 5) the Empire State Building, 6) St. Peter's Basilica, and 7) the Great Wall of China.
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many possibilities." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help." The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are: 1) to touch, 2) to taste, 3) to see, 4) to hear. . ." She hesitated another moment, and then continued, "5) to hope, 6) to laugh, 7) and to love."
The room became so silent it was deafening! You see, it is far too easy for us to look at the exploits of man and refer to them as "wonders," while we overlook all the amazing things God has done, and regard them as merely "ordinary."
Psalm 40:5 says "Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders which Thou hast done, And Thy thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with Thee; If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count." The wonders of man can be counted on one's hands, while the infamous wonders of God are innumerable. Life itself is a wondrous and amazing gift from God. The failure to notice, declare and live in light of it, is to miss life all together.
Go out and look at all of His wonders and then say with the Psalmist "I WILL give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Thy wonders. I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High" – Psalm 9:1-2.

Business intelligence tool lets accountants take control
Technology One has responded to a glaring gap in the financial software market and built a powerful business intelligence tool specifically targeted at accountants.
The tool, called XLOne, allows accountants to take total control of their financial reporting by combining their existing knowledge of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and providing direct 'read only' access to Finance One, Technology One's financial management system. XLOne allows accountants to produce detailed financial reports with drill down capability and distribute this information through their existing email infrastructure. One of Australia's fastest growing councils, Maroochy Shire, is having dramatic results using this tool.
Maroochy Shire Council Systems Accountant Dorothy Williams said prior to implementing Finance One, reporting was a very cumbersome task.
"I used to have to do a lot of things through SQL to extract data out of our system," Ms Williams said.
"Now I'm able to add a lot more value to the organisation by doing more complex type reporting and compliance reporting and things that are more important to our core business," she said.
"Implementing this tool is one of the best investments we have made at Maroochy Shire Council."
The key benefit of XLOne is it empowers accountants to design and develop detailed reports using their existing knowledge of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. As this is an environment they are comfortable and experienced in using, it reduces the need for training and their reliance on IT and admin support.
Technology One Executive Chairman, Adrian Di Marco, said this business intelligence tool is enabling accountants to respond quickly to the demands of managers and users for financial information.
"We realised that accountants spend most of their day working with in a spreadsheet environment, so it made sense to build a business intelligence tool that connected their financial information with spreadsheets and gave them complete control over the reporting process, " Mr Di Marco said.
"For accountants, this means they can use their intimate knowledge of spreadsheets, including the power of a spreadsheet's formatting and calculating capabilities, to design reports and then populate them with data direct from their financial information system and distribute them with the click of a button," he said.
"This is allowing accountants to cut out the manual processes and concentrate on adding value to their core business.
"The majority of our Finance One clients are now using XLOne."

Oilfield services company National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV - News) reported stellar fourth quarter and full year 2011 results, helped by robust activity levels across all business segments and benefits from the Ameron acquisition.
Earnings per share (excluding transaction charges) came in at $1.37, comfortably above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.30 and the year-ago profit of $1.05.
For full-year 2011, the company earned $4.77 per share, up 16.6% from $4.09 in the prior year. The reported results also surpassed our earnings projection of $4.69.
Quarterly revenue rose 34.3% year over year – from $3,172.0 million to $4,259.0 million – and was 6.4% above our projection.
National Oilwell generated revenues of $14,658 million in fiscal 2011, compared with $12,156 million in 2010. The fiscal result also breezed past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14,400 million.
Segmental Performance
Rig Technology: Revenue in the Rig Technology segment increased 31.8% year over year to $2,316.0 million in the quarter, while revenue out of backlog was up 40% from the corresponding period last year.
The segment's quarterly operating profit was up 20.4% year over year at $603 million. Rig Technology's profitability during the quarter was helped by higher demand for aftermarket parts, services and capital spares. Operating margin, at 26.0%, however, dipped from 28.5% in the year-ago period.
Petroleum Services & Supplies: The company's Petroleum Services & Supplies segment achieved revenues of $1,570.0 million, up 38.1% from the year-ago period, while operating profit rose 77.1% from the fourth quarter of 2010 to $301 million.
Operating margin was 19.2% versus 15.0% in the year-ago quarter. The positive comparisons were due to strong contributions from the Fiberglass Composite Pipe segment of Ameron (acquired during the quarter).
Distribution Services: Distribution Service revenues were up 32.4% year over year at $560 million in fourth quarter. Operating profit was $45 million, compared to $30 million in the year-earlier quarter. Operating margin was 8.0%, up from 7.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The segment results were helped by strong performance in the Water Transmission and Infrastructure Products segments of Ameron.
During the quarter, National Oilwell Varco added a record $1,670.0 million worth of orders to its capital equipment backlog.
Backlog for capital equipment orders for the company's Rig Technology segment was $10,160.0 million at December 31, 2011, almost double the prior-year quarter level.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2011, the company had cash on hand of $3,535.0 million and long-term debt of $510 million. The debt-to-capitalization ratio stood at approximately 2.8%.
Our Recommendation
National Oilwell Varco, which ranks ahead of Cameron International Corp. (NYSE:CAM - News) as the biggest U.S. maker of oilfield equipment, currently retains a Zacks #2 Rank, which translates into a short-term Buy rating.
We have an optimistic outlook on National Oilwell's performance for 2012, based on its sound financial profile, solid backlog and an efficient management team. The company's large installed base of rigs worldwide provides for a steady recurring revenue stream through demand for maintenance, parts and other expendable products.

Your Answer Could Be Yes, No or Even Maybe.
Yes – you have tried and yes you are making money on the Internet. Maybe you have tried in the past with little or no success. And so, you are here wondering if it truly is possible to generate an income with e-Commerce, perhaps more than you ever thought possible. If you answered no, then you are here with a burning desire to discover what many have already put into practice.
I am going to show you that it can be done……I am going to cite examples of others that have become quite successful with Internet commerce……and I am going to point you to a program that can change your life.
Just How Much Money Exchanges Hands With e-Commerce?
There is no question that commerce on the Internet generates large amounts of money. According to Social Times, more than $1.2 million dollars exchanges hands every 30 seconds. They go on to report that Amazon alone generates $100K of that $1.2 million every 30 seconds. The article continues to list the "giants" of e-Commerce and there are plenty of them. And there will be plenty of new giants emerging as time goes on.
Am I Too Late for This Amazing Opportunity?
Not by a long shot. The average newcomer can still make his or her dreams come true in the big picture. All one has to do is read the Wikipedia article on the history of Amazon.com. And then imagine if Jeff Bezos had given up early because there were already too many large retailers on the Internet. There would likely be no Amazon.com, at least as we know it today. Also, one must not forget that not only did Mr. Bezos start Amazon.com out of his garage, it operated for years without making a dime in profits. Sheer determination and a strong belief in himself, as well as a business plan, surely led to his success.
Jack Ma (Alibaba) Discovered He Could Compete on the Internet
Another giant in the Internet world is Alibaba, which began 5 years after the founding of Amazon.com. I invite you to read the Alibaba story on Wikipedia. What an amazing company! Do you think the founder, Jack Ma, felt that there was no chance of competing against Amazon.com and some of the other e-Commerce retailers in 1999? There is always room for the next Jeff Bezos or Jack Ma.
You Could Be the Next "Giant" in the World of e-Commerce!
Let me conclude by emphasizing that it can be done……you can be the next "giant" in the world of e-Commerce with the right approach and the mindset to succeed. It won't happen overnight, and if you are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, you won't find it here. But I will introduce you to a program designed specifically for ambitious individuals yearning to make money on the Internet. A program so unique that you can join for free with no credit card required. Start on the road to your dreams with Wealthy Affiliate today!
I hope you enjoyed my post about Making Money on the Internet. I also hope you decide to join Wealthy Affiliate and become successful! If you would, please drop me a comment with any thoughts or questions you might have.

If you would like to leave us a review, please go here!
Wow! The folks at Region Insurance are outstanding! I couldn't believe how accommodating and hospitable the staff was. All of my questions and concerns were answered and the anxiety that comes with shopping for insurance was put at ease. Region Insurance Group does not push or shove you into deals or the biggest newest plans. They are respectful and have one goal in mind...to help you and your family find the best protection possible at a premium that fits your budget! I cannot express enough how amazing they are. If you're shopping for an insurance agent, shop no more! Region is where it's at!
—Aaron H.
My experience that I have had with Tim has been one of the simplest things I have ever completed for my personal and business insurance. Tim is very thorough and always willing to answer any questions that we had. Tim was able to save us money and also provide a better plan. I will have to say there are a lot of different insurance companies available, but there is only one Tim Verduin.
—Ryan L.
Tim is awesome! He was eager to help me set up insurance & talked me through/explained the process thoroughly. He was able to give me insight and help me choose what would be best. He was very timely and professional. I am very pleased with my experience through Region Insurance Group.
—Molly P.
I spoke with other insurance companies but chose to go with Region Insurance Group because they not only were very knowledgeable but were not pushy. I was slow in my decision but not once did they push me whereas one agency contacted work colleagues to try and pressure me for a decision. Tim even came out to my work to finish the paperwork. Thanks Tim!
—Jeffery B.
Great company! Got the best deal around! All these name brands like Progressive and AllState are just too expensive. Jackie VanderLaan is amazing and so helpful. With my options at Erie Insurance I can afford more and not have to worry. Thank you!
—Bethany H.
I had a great experience especially because of our agent Tim! He was very informative and nice and did a great job being prompt and explaining everything. We were able to get our insurance with ease and I feel for a great low rate with his help. The process was smooth and didn't take a lot of time at all! Would highly recommend!
—Kari D.
The Region group were very responsive to my quote request. And the best part they saved me lots of $$$$. Thank you, Jackie!
—Brent S.
These guys will work like crazy to find you a great rate with a great insurance company. They work with companies like Erie Insurance, AAA etc. I especially appreciated their ability to not just seek out the lowest rate but to also improve attributes of the policies I had which were weaker than they recommended.
—Daniel B.
I would recommend Region to anyone. Not only is our auto insurance half the amount it had been with our former insurance group, the service, integrity, and speediness are beyond what we've ever had. Thanks, Region! You guys are awesome.
—Emily S.
Tim has been a fantastic agent. While he has done a great job servicing the insurance policy I have with him, he also reviewed my homeowners insurance I had with a different group. He truly looks to get to know his clients and provide the best advice and service.
—James F.
I've worked with Tim at Region for corporate liability insurance, life insurance and most recently health insurance. He is the best agent you will ever find. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is the most helpful person you could ask for. He will customize and personalize all of his quotes, present it to you with a personal video, and go above and beyond with back end research to find you the best deal possible. I could not dream of going to anyone else for insurance of any kind.
—Andrew P.
Tim is a really down-to-earth person and is extremely easy to work with; compared to insurance companies that are usually out for your money, Tim and his team are more concerned about giving you the best coverage for your needs, which is extremely refreshing. I know I can reach out to Tim any time, with any questions, and I trust that he'll take care of whatever it is I need. I highly recommend Region Insurance Group for both personal and business insurance needs. Thank you, Tim, for everything!
—Danielle S.
Just transferred my home and auto insurance to Region Insurance. What a great experience dealing with Tim Verduin and his staff. They make you feel confident in the choice you have made. GREAT customer service and attention to your needs.
—Kenneth K.
I had a special need involving probate, and turned to Tim Verduin, my mother-in-law's insurer. He stuck with me through the entire confusing process, and I could not recommend him more highly. Tim Verduin is out there giving insurance salesmen a good name!
—Nina S.

The Chevrolet Suburban is a mechanical masterpiece that is both a representation of modern day luxury and absolute comfort. When it comes to SUVs, this luxury vehicle tops other cars in this category and inspires other manufacturers to meet its standard.
We have the latest version of the Suburban in our fleet. It boasts a tough exterior which gives no hint to its comfortable, fully-equipped interior. Because of this contrast, the Suburban SUV is the favorite choice for people looking for a multi-purpose vehicle.
The appearance of this SUV is dominating yet sophisticated and sporty. It also runs smoothly regardless of terrain. To further make this car stand out, Diamond Limo Fort Lauderdale has added the following features:
➔ 7-8 passenger seating capacity
➔ Premium quality leather
➔ Tri-zone climate control
➔ Rear ventilation with fan control
➔ Power windows with one-touch
➔ Display which shows directions and external temperature
➔ 4-way power, height and lumbar support adjustable passenger seats
➔ Spacious door, dash and overhead compartments
➔ Premium quality speakers with subwoofer
➔ Auxiliary, USB and card reader support for the music system
➔ Air bags for all passengers
➔ Privacy glass and 4-wheel ABS brakes for maximum privacy and security
Chevrolet Suburban for Your Important Days
The Suburban has enough space to carry a lot of luggage without compromising on passengers' comfort. That is why we highly recommend it for airport pickups and drop offs. Whether you, your extended family, or your business partners/investors/clients are flying in for a big ceremony or event, the Chevrolet Suburban is roomy enough to tend to their transportation needs in style.
The Suburban can tow a massive weight of 8,300 lbs., which makes it ideal for weekend trips. You can also rely on it to tow your boat if you want to go to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in style, or to tow your trailer. Either way, the Suburban does not compromise on your comfort no matter where you go.
The Chevrolet Suburban Experience with Us
Diamond Limo Fort Lauderdale is all about punctuality, low-cost services and excelling at customer care. We are an experienced Limo company that has been serving customers for decades, so we understand how the service industry works. We also thrive because we treat every single customer as a VIP.
We are constantly striving to improve our services. Therefore, trust us to deliver only the best. We also provide the following guarantees:

➔ Cleanliness – Whenever our vehicles are returned, they are cleaned extensively on the inside and outside. As we clean them again before sending them through, expect a spotless vehicle every time you hire us.

The close ties between two of Canada's powerhouse political families have just cinched a little tighter.
Galen Flaherty, the 20-year-old son of federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, has started working for Councillor Doug Ford, the Etobicoke councillor and brother of Mayor Rob Ford.
"I've known him since he was a little kid," said Doug Ford. "I saw him at a family function and he asked if he could help downtown at all. I said 'Sure, come on down.' He's doing a fabulous job. Every councillor should hire a student."
Mr. Ford said that the young Mr. Flaherty will be mainly fielding the hundreds of calls from constituents that come into the councillor's office every day.
"Next to the mayor, my office is probably the busiest," he said. "I get over 100 calls a day, and only five per cent come from people in my ward."
The Fords and Flahertys have maintained a familial closeness since the mid-90s, when Mr. Flaherty sat next to the Ford paterfamilias Doug Ford Sr. in the Ontario Legislature.
"They were both rookie backbenchers," said Doug Jr. "Because the legislature goes by alphabet, here were these two Irish guys sitting beside one another. We've all been close ever since."
The senior Mr. Ford died in 2006 at age 73.
His namesake who entered politics last year knows first-hand how difficult it can be to work under the shadow of a political family.
In that respect, Galen Flaherty has it worse than any of the Fords ever did. Not only is his father one of the country's most recognizable politicians, his mother, Christine Elliott, is the MPP for Whitby-Oshawa.
"It's tough for [Galen]" Mr. Ford said. "When your father is finance minister there's lots of expectations. Everyone's eye is on you."

These days, everyone wants to work for themselves. It's estimated that more than 40% of the American workforce — or 60 million people — will be freelancers, contractors and temp workers by 2020, according to a study conducted by software company Intuit.
But how will this affect collaboration, team building skills, and the actual structure of a workplace?
We sat down with Dan Schawbel, founder of Millennial Branding and author of the new book "Promote Yourself," who says that the 9-5 is on its way out; and "it's going to be less about who you work for, but who you're working with."
Watch our conversation below:

"GTA V: Violent dad throttles girlfriend who asked him to stop playing game hours after its midnight release", reads an article on the website for the UK newspaper The Mirror.
While it's certainly not as aggressive towards games as other articles, the implication is still there that the game turned the man into a crazed psychopath.
Anyone who buys that claim is wrong, say the game's lead voice actors.
The Mirror's article is just the latest in a long line of accusations about the GTA series promoting violence throughout its long history. While they don't refer to this (or any story) specfically, it's clear that the fifth title's leading men have had enough of such thinking.
In an interview with PC Advisor, the three main voice actors of Grand Theft Auto V have spoken out against the idea that the game glorifies violence:
"Anyone who has any conception at all about the games and hasn't played them should go play the games before they open their mouths," says Ned Luke, the voice of Michael de Santa. "The biggest misconception is that it glamorises violence. It really doesn't. If you look at my character, Michael, he's rich, but he's a miserable man. Even in the commercials you see that. This is a guy who's struggling with his life's decisions."
"If you want to take something out the game, take out of it that here's a guy who loves his family, who's kind of lost. He's trying to hold it together. He's trying to become a good guy, but he can't. He just has all these demons that he's battling. It's the struggle. Take that and look at how he loves his family even though he wants to kill them and that's what it is. Look for the relationships. Look for the humour. Look for the irony and the satire in the game. That's another big misconception. What, do they think we're serious?'"
Steven Ogg, the voice of the psychotic Trevor Philips, had even stronger words, addressing the issue that, while violent games still evoke controversy, nobody seems to mind so much when television programmes display acts of brutal carnage:
"The hypocrisy drives me crazy," says Ogg. "It just sets the wrong focus. Why not talk about gun control? Why not talk about parenting? Why not talk of lack of family values? There are so many other things to talk about. Look at what's on TV. Breaking Bad had that episode where Giancarlo got his face blown off. There's a lot of intense stuff out there. Video games are just an easy scapegoat. My nephew plays this game. I asked my sister if she was worried because there's some pretty nasty stuff in there and she said, 'I know he's not going to go to school tomorrow with a gun. He's not like that.'"
The voice of Franklin Clinton, Shawn Fonteno (himself a former gang member), also gave a few words about even how those who live violent lives can find some form of release and escapism through the game:
"I know a few people that live that kind of (violent) lifestyle and when they play GTA they can relate to it."
"It has an impact to the point that they're happy that they can just play it in the game and not have to relive it in real life. And that's the big key thing with this, man. It's just a video game. And people that have lived that life and have done them things, as I did, can just have fun with it in a game. You can leave it there and nobody's getting hurt and you're just having fun."
"GTA allows you to tap into everything that you can't do in real life," says Luke. "In real life, you don't get to go out and rampage and do all these bad things. Gangster movies have been huge forever--Godfather, Casino, Goodfellas, all the way back to Jimmy Cagney. People lose themselves in the bad boy. And there isn't anybody badder than the dudes in GTA. That's why they're so popular. You get to actually go out and do all these horrible things."
"As an actor, I got to go out and do all these crazy things and then go back home to my wife and my son and go out in the back yard and throw a baseball around like a normal all-American dad. I think that's what these games are. People who take them too seriously and go, 'Oh, this is life.' No, this isn't life. This is imagination. It's just fun. You definitely don't want GTA raising your children. But it's not a bad release from them, when you need to get away."
"People already have it in their mind that GTA is for kids because it's a game," Fonteno concluded. "Then they hear about the violence and they're instantly going to attack because it's a game. Now, if it was a movie it would be a different story and these same people would be out there supporting it. GTA V is like a movie. Once they get the game in their hands, they'll see. It says it big as day--Mature. It's not for the kids to go get. It's for Mature audiences only. If kids get it, then that's on their parents."
