Who doesn't love a Mustang
By SD Jones on Saturday, August 10, 2019I was looking for something sporty that I can use as a daily driver that didn't have as stiff a ride as my outgoing Subaru WRX. I was drawn to the mustang for several reasons, but one was the current incentives. Once I test drove the car, I just fell in love with it. Awesome classic Mustang styling both on the interior and exterior. I love the 8 inch infotainment screen with the Apple CarPlay and voice activation. I choose a package with with all season Goodyear F1 tires and upgraded rims with black inlay over chrome . Great ride quality. 5 driving modes. Wet,sport,normal,track & drag. I got a great deal on a 19 left over. 5k off sticker. 0% financing for 72 months.

That's a lot of PERFORMANCE for only $26,000 bucks
By the next pony boy on Tuesday, July 16, 2019So out of the blue I decided to get a 2019 Mustang 2.3 coupe. I was not even considering a Mustang,but a great deal fell into my lap , and now I'm Pony boy...fun to drive with a lot of curb appeal. I don't want to here how the back seats are cramped,in this segment of cars all back seats have short comings....Besides the awesome performance, I was really surprised how well the fuel economy is in this beast, I avg 22 MPG overall, that's only 2 milles less per gallon then my prevoius car that had only 170 hp vs. the Stang at 310 hp.One more surprise, a huge trunk....PONY BOY OVER AN OUT.

Great Vehicle
By ZoomZoom on Sunday, July 21, 2019The combination of features, design and performance are unbeatable at this price point. I have a 2015 and it feels well built, especially for a launch year car after 30k miles. I still get walked up to at gas stations and admiration driving it, something not many much more expensive cars get. I think the EB is an excellent application, it goes when you want it to, or gets 28 MPG on the highway if cruising, it really is the best of both. With BLIS, cooled seats and full touchscreen it has everything you would want, and the styling has an endearing quality to it even after a refresh. Seats are comfortable if a little short, and the ride is firm. I have driven a Challenger and it feels so ponderous and huge by comparison, and a Camaro feels like driving a mail slot. If you're looking for a sporty car that wont break the bank or be on the side of the road look no further!

Obama to Tap REI CEO as Interior Secretary
(WASHINGTON) -- President Obama will nominate Sally Jewell to be the next secretary of the interior, a senior White House official told ABC News.
Jewell is the CEO of REI, the outdoor recreational equipment retailer. She has no political experience, but according to the Denver Post, she did spend five weeks hiking in Antarctica in 2011, climbing some of the continent's most treacherous peaks.
Jewell will replace Ken Salazar, who has announced he will not stay for Obama's second term. She is the first woman Obama has announced for his second-term cabinet.
The president will make the announcement Wednesday afternoon.
One senior official said this of the nomination: "It's a cool idea."
"Sally Jewell is uniquely qualified to be secretary of the interior," another official offered. "With years of experience managing a nearly $2 billion a year company, she will bring to the position integrity, keen management skills, as well as dedication to the department's mission of managing our nation's lands. Trained as an engineer, Jewell has broad private sector experience in energy and finance, as well as a commitment to conservation."

Jason Statham exercises great restraint in the opening minutes of "Homefront," as his character, DEA agent Phil Broker, chooses to shoot an armed bad guy in the leg instead of blowing his brains out.
Really, though, who wants to see Jason Statham exercise restraint? Part of the fun — no, all of the fun — of a Jason Statham movie is winding him up and letting him go. The best of his action movies are ballets of brute force: primal, precise and punishing. "Homefront," serviceably directed by television veteran Gary Fleder from a script by Sylvester Stallone (based on crime-novelist Chuck Logan's book), isn't Statham's best — or most brutal — work, but it's not bad.
The windup, in this case, comes after a winding down. Several months after that opening scene, Phil, a recent widower, has retired from police work, moving to small-town Louisiana with his young daughter, Maddy (Izabela Vidovic), to get away from it all.
Boy, did he pick the wrong town.
No sooner have the Brokers unpacked than they're getting into trouble with the locals, courtesy of Maddy, who decks a schoolyard bully (Austin Craig) one day. As it happens, the bully's mother (an alarmingly emaciated Kate Bosworth) turns out to be one of the town's many resident meth-heads. Even worse, Mom is sister to drug lord/psychopath Gator Bodine (James Franco), who isn't very happy when he learns that his little nephew has a bloody nose.
But he really isn't happy when he discovers — via a bit of harmless breaking-and-entering — that the father of the girl who gave the kid a bloody nose is an ex-narc.
Say goodbye to restraint. At this point, Gator and his goons start trying to run Phil out of town, which only makes our hero mad. This, of course, is precisely what makes fans of Jason Statham movies happiest.
For the rest of us, it helps that Franco clearly relishes his role as the heavy here, lapping up the part like so much gumbo. The Academy Award nominee makes quite the entrance, pronouncing the name "Gator Bodine" like his tongue is doing a slow Cajun waltz around it, just before applying a baseball bat to the shins of a competitor who has had the temerity to horn in on Gator's drug business.
And he's not even the real bad guy.
To help him get rid of Phil, Gator enlists some of Phil's former enemies, with whom he liaises through the mediation of his ethically challenged biker-groupie girlfriend (Winona Ryder, clearly having too much fun). Thanks to such immoderate performances as hers, the whole movie has a pulpy, purple, over-the-topness to it, which makes it kind of a guilty pleasure, in a low-rent, Southern Gothic way.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the excess, if you can.

Construction crew finds ancient mammoth tusk in Seattle
An extremely rare piece of history was discovered Tuesday in a South Lake Union construction site.
Officials from the Burke Museum confirm that construction workers uncovered a mammoth tusk that appears to date back to the Ice Age.
Joe Wells with Transit Plumbing was one of the first workers to spot the object.
"We were like, 'So, what do we do here?' You don't want to damage it or just continue on and tear it out of the ground," he said.
Bruce Crowley from the University of Washington's Burke museum went down into the hole to examine the fossil.
"I thought it was a really nice tusk," he said.
Crowley said the tusk likely came from a Columbian Mammoth - or mastodon, though he said you can't really tell by looking at it, you would need to do microscopic analysis to determine that.
He said most of the mammoths found in this area, are Columbian Mammoths. There have been similar fossils found in the area, but this one may be the largest.
It's unclear how the property owner will move forward with the unique find.
"Because the fossil is on private property and does not seem to be associated with an archaeological site, it is up to the landowner to decide what they would like to do with the tusk," . Christian Sidor of the Burke Museum said in a Tuesday news release.
Sidor said the discovery offers a "rare opportunity to directly study Seattle's ancient natural history." The museum has offered to excavate the tusk and provide access to scientists looking to study it.
As word of the discovery spread on Tuesday, locals wandered over to the site to get a better look at the tusk.
Monique German, who works at Bright Horizons Childcare Center next door, said the children were excited to get a first-hand look at Seattle history.
"Instantly they went online and started researching wooly mammoths and mastodons and learning how their hair could be 3 feet long and the tusks could be up to 15 feet long," she said.
German says they've already been using the construction project in lesson plans, one day talking with the crane operator on the radio. Another learning all that the foreman does. Now they can add paleontology.
"We found a great children's book last night that we're now introducing as part of the curriculum," German said.
While the kids learn about it, the scientists at the University of Washington want to help excavate it.
"It's big it's got nice curvature to it. It seems to be very complete," said Crowley said.
Crowley says this tusk is likely 16,000 years old and if it's to be preserved, it needs to be properly excavated. He said right now it's water logged and if left to dry on its own, Crowley said it will disintegrate.
He said the best way to remove it is encase it in plaster it, which would take a day or two, but that way it would be preserved.
The Burke Museum has offered to excavate it and put it on display if the property owner takes that route.

Rios proving All-Star worthy as ballot is released
CHICAGO -- Alex Rios was selected as an American League All-Star in both the 2006 and '07 seasons.
The White Sox right fielder deserved consideration in 2012, when he went into the break with a .318 average, 12 homers and 49 RBIs. And Rios will be in the running again in 2013 thanks to a hot start that has him hitting over .300 with five homers.
CHICAGO -- Alex Rios was selected as an American League All-Star in both the 2006 and '07 seasons.
The White Sox right fielder deserved consideration in 2012, when he went into the break with a .318 average, 12 homers and 49 RBIs. And Rios will be in the running again in 2013 thanks to a hot start that has him hitting over .300 with five homers.
There's a chance for White Sox fans to show their ardent support for Rios, as he's one of nine White Sox players on the official 2013 All-Star ballot. In-stadium balloting starts at U.S. Cellular Field on April 25 and ends on June 28.
"I can't say enough good things about him," said White Sox hitting coach Jeff Manto. "With what he's done, not only the beginning part of last year and taking it on into the winter and through Spring Training, I'm very excited for him."
"Obviously I feel very good. I feel very confident of the things that I'm doing right now," Rios said. "I'm just trying to take the same things that I did last year and I'm trying to bring them to this year to this season. I'm focusing on my approach. I'm trying to have good at-bats, swing at better pitches. Pitch selection is a big part of hitting."
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or via your mobile device -- using the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot until Thursday, July 4, at 10:59 p.m. CT.
Fans may submit twenty-five (25) online ballots during the voting period, but can also earn a one-time bonus of ten (10) additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot. If you do not have an MLB.com account, visit www.mlb.com and register in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
Fans can also once again participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league who they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2013 Home Run Derby -- part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day -- will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 7 p.m. CT on Monday, July 15.
The 2013 American League and National League All-Star teams will be unveiled on Sunday, July 7, on the 2013 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show, televised nationally on TBS. Baseball fans around the world will then be able to select the final player on each team via the All-Star Game Final Vote sponsored by freecreditscore.com on MLB.com.
And the voting doesn't end there. The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the official voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the official vote determining the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
The 2013 All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field on Tuesday, July 16. Come to MLB.com for extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
Joining Rios on the ballot from the White Sox is Paul Konerko at first base, Gordon Beckham at second, Alexei Ramirez at shortstop, Jeff Keppinger at third, Alejandro De Aza and Dayan Viciedo in the outfield and Adam Dunn at designated hitter. Tyler Flowers, who is a first-year starter at catcher, also is making his first appearance on the All-Star ballot.
Ramirez has never been selected as an AL All-Star, despite winning a Silver Slugger Award and being considered as one of the top defensive shortstops. He has jumped out to an unusually solid April start with his average above .285.
As for Rios, he seemed to find something last year in regard to his thought process at the plate that has carried over in the 2013 campaign.
"I've tried to focus on one at-bat at a time. That's how you should be. You don't take four at-bats at the same time," Rios said. "You take one at-bat and try to do the best you can with that at-bat. If you have a good approach and you do things the right way, it won't guarantee good results, but it will minimize the percentage of errors.
"I just never focus on anything else but the game. When the game is over, I just go home and do my stuff that regular people do. I don't try to listen to good critics or bad critics. I just try to stay neutral and live a regular life."

DAMASCUS, Syria, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Anti-government fighters shot and killed at least 11 Syrian soldiers in scattered attacks south of Damascus early Sunday, rights observers reported.
More than 20 other soldiers were injured in the pre-dawn clashes in the province of Dara, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told Iran's Press TV.
The fighting was reported in the town of Basr al-Harir, while heavy machine-gun fire was also heard in the town of Dael, but there were no casualty reports from there.
The fighting erupted hours before a team of Arab League observers who have been touring Syria were to present their findings in Cairo, the report said.
The recent presence of Arab League observers appears to have emboldened anti-government forces. Friday, a police bus in Damascus was bombed, killing at least 20 people and injuring 60 others.
Since March, armed protesters have taken on the police and military of President Bashar Assad, demanding he step down to allow for democratic reform. He has steadfastly refused and ignored international calls for him to stop using force against unarmed demonstrators.
The United Nations estimated in December at least 5,000 people have been killed in the uprising.
The Syrian government, which barred foreign media and never issued specific casualty numbers, responded to the U.N. report by saying 2,000 of the fatalities were government forces.

Everything Happening Now Was Planned Before 9/11
Special preface to my friends in the military, law enforcement and intelligence and other government servants: You are sworn to defend and uphold the Constitution, and the facts below may help you do so.
We've been told that "9/11 changed everything" and that we're living in "a post-911 world".
We've been told that what our government is doing now has been rendered necessary by the urgent post-9/11 threat from terrorists.
In reality, however, virtually everything happening now was planned before 9/11. Please see for yourself:
- The government's spying on Americans began before 9/11 (confirmed here and here. And see this)
- The Patriot Act was planned before 9/11 (and see this). Indeed, former Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke told Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig:
After 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.
The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.
(4:30 into this video).
- Government plans, exercises or drills to detain American citizens who opposed war were also drawn up before 9/11, as was a bill allowing the permanent detention by the Attorney General of aliens convicted of no crimes, with no judicial review
- The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted "crap" in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. Top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change even before Bush took office. And in 2000, Cheney said a Bush administration might "have to take military action to forcibly remove Saddam from power." And see this.
- Cheney made Iraqi's oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And the Sunday Herald reported: "Five months before September 11, the US advocated using force against Iraq … to secure control of its oil." (remember that Alan Greenspan, John McCain, George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, a high-level National Security Council officer and others all say that the Iraq war was really about oil.)
- The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11, and the Christian Science Monitor notes that the U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability
- Wars throughout the Middle East and North Africa to effect regime were planned before 9/11
- Cheney dreamed of giving the White House the powers of a monarchy long before 9/11
- Cheney and Rumsfeld actively generated fake intelligence which exaggerated the threat from an enemy in order to justify huge amounts of military spending long before 9/11. And see this
- The government knew that terrorists could use planes as weapons — and had even run its own drills of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, using REAL airplanes — all before 9/11
- America played dirty games to justify wars before 9/11

You Can 'Kill Some Christians Today,' Says Egypt's Secretary-General of Islamic Jihad Party
Mohamed Abu Samra, secretary-general of the Islamic Jihad Party, made the claim that "it is permissible to kill some Christians today," then gave his argument defending such a position.
He justified this announcement by saying: "Those who came out with weapons, their blood is allowed for us [to spill], as a fighter is not considered dhimmi."
Dhimma is the Islamic law that specifies non-Muslims are to be protected residents within the Islamic state in exchange for taxes.
"In the recent funeral, the Christians brought the Qur'an and urinated on it. The Sheikh of Al-Azhar did not deny it. They also came out in demonstrations to destroy Muslim places, chanting 'We'll bring Islam down by any means possible,'" Samra said during an interview with Egyptian newspaper Al-Watan on Wednesday.
"Jihad gagged the new pope, as we told him in a statement 'your seclusion will not terrorize us.' If you want civil war, we will welcome it as you were the ones who started it," Samra said.
"I believe that Pope Tawadros is more dangerous than Shenouda, because the former considers using force as he is trying to establish a Coptic state. He considers the arrival of the Islamists an opportunity to declare civil war," Samra continued. "I believe that offering concessions to this person will make him continue on the path, which he charted, but the end will not be as he expects. Egypt is not like Lebanon or Southeast Asia, and national unity is a fact [here]."
"What Tawadros is doing is a far cry from what the Coptic people want," he added.
Samra stated to the newspaper that the Church stands behind the organization "Black Bloc," and that the "Tayyiban Battalion," which he claimed was formed under the late Pope Shenouda III under the cover of scouting, was trained in Lebanon and participated in the Lebanese civil war.
H.H Pope Tawadros II has not responded to such accusations. As for the claims of the Church supporting Black Bloc or its origins, there is no evidence for such and the scouting groups of the Church are responsible for church organization during prayers and did not receive any training in Lebanon.

Few succeed, but most spend their WHOLE LIFE working on it, and memorize 50 - 250 chapters
During Muslim RAMADAN HOLY DAYS every autumn, they meet all over the world in mosques, nightly for 40 days, and in congregational unison, QUOTE THEIR SCRIPTURE FOR HOURS!
Muslims find this very inspirational, but as a CHRISTIAN, we find it "Very Depressing" . . . BECAUSE . . . most Christians can't quote 40 verses . . . much less 40 Chapters! (or 40 books!)
WHY? Christians are TOO BUSY WATCHING TV! "Sex-In-The-City", "American Idol", Dirty Movies and the GOD of God's: "SPORTS!"
FACT: Most Christians do NOT read Chapter-A-Day in Bible, and if they do, faithfully, THEY BELIEVE THIS IS GREAT!
FACT: The "Average American" sees over 100 TV Commercials a DAY!
FACT: The "Average Christian" can read the "Average Bible Chapter" in the time it takes the "Average TV COMMERCIAL!
QUESTION: That MODERN CHRISTIANS "give-up" ONE TV-Commercial Break to Read ONE Bible Chapter - sacrificing NONE of the TV Shows, Sports, etc. - and we are SO LUKEWARM as to think God is PLEASED with this miserable, disgusting "offering" of our time PRIORITY to HIS WORD?
[Which religion do you think GOD is going to ALLOW TO ESTABLISH THE MORAL STANDARDS OF THE WORLD? (Watch Daily News for the Answer!)]

Have you noticed exactly when it freezes? Does it happen during a particular wave, or when you get a certain weapon?
Just so we can eliminate any connection issues as a possibility, can you please tell us what your connection setup is like?
game freezing during zombie alcatraz mob of the dead
it did it twice in 20 mins yesturday
please fix ASAP
I have the same problem I don't think its only a few people Their are a lot of forums on this problem on my ps3 it freezes a 1 or 2 seconds when online and offline when in a custom game or when playing with a friend online. In single player on and offline it freezes after Finn says "we've been through this a hundred times then it freezes and I have to turn of the system manually. I really want an answer. please fix this Activision.
Do you have any textures installed? Can you let us know what your connection setup is like as well?
Well last few games I had didn't crash instantly after I uninstalled textures and I got to about round 8 - 9 then it froze but I did have a ray gun last game had didn't freeze but I only got to round 9 but no ray gun (possibility?) I got pooped on by brutus but maybe it was just a fluke idk its nothing to o with connection beacuse it freezes offline aswell Sorry for bad typing keyboard is broken ._.
Well , i cleared the cache for 3rd time and reinstalled the dlc , at begining it was doing the same freeze thingy , but after couple tries it works now dunno why didnt do anything it just worked alone , so am Afraid if ir will freeze again or not , not sure yet , and for notice i didnt install the textures this time maybe it is the problem putting in mind even with no textures it freezed at first , so dunno , and for ur question am on wired connection , NAT open
alcatraz is not working.....help...in dying need because ghost is trash and im a fan of treyarch....so i need help bad.....how about you guys also talk to sony about black ops 2 on the ps4....ghost is trash
look I'm pretty sure, specially from having some IT trainING an more that it's not a internet connection problem. Specially if multiple ppl are having the problem, questions are, do we maybe all have the same ISP, as in cox, verizon, etc,. Or do what do we in this lobby have in common, same series of disc, download cache of maps, ps3 system series? Or etc
Same Problem
This thing is happening to me too. All the MP maps are fine, great. But Mob Of The Dead, the thing I was looking foward to most, just freezes when Im in round 1, or the loading screen. Any fixes? This is really annoying as I was really looking foward to MOTD, and now its freezing. Any other zombies map works fine, just MOTD.

Remember the days when Pixar meant perfection? When you could count on its animation to amaze, its stories to sweep you up?
Remember "Up"?
Or the smooth ride in "Cars"? The "Toy Story" pals whose friendship was anything but plastic? The love among the ruins unearthed by "Wall-E"? A clownfish dad's deep-sea desperation in "Finding Nemo"?
What has happened to the memory makers who gave us all that?
They are nowhere to be found at "Monsters University," the latest shiny new movie to roll off what increasingly feels like the Disney-Pixar assembly line.
"Cars 2" certainly sputtered. Even "Brave," which won the 2012 Oscar for animated feature, didn't seem especially brave.
"Monsters University" is not so much substandard. It just isn't the Ivy League. Or close to what we've come to expect from any animated film flying John Lasseter's flag. Seven years into his rule as mayor of Disney's toon town, one has to wonder, given the recent slippage, whether the artistic leader who once prided originality above all has gone suit-and-tie on us. Did he lose that outsider's edge after his enterprising upstart was gobbled by Walt's behemoth?
Whatever the reasons, "Monsters University," the prequel to the mild-mannered "Monsters, Inc.," is mostly memorable for being fine but forgettable. The 12-year span between the two suggests trepidation.
Directed by Dan Scanlon, "MU's" primary colors run true-blue enough. The animation is snappy in the way it handles an extremely eclectic-looking bunch of monsters. The 3-D effects are nifty but, as with so much about "MU," not necessary.
There are new monsters such as Dean Hardscrabble (Helen Mirren) who are terribly intriguing. That British accent is so handy when the dialogue calls for disdain. The dean's bad attitude suits her buggy body, the millipede-like legs clicking ominously to signal her approach.
Many of the favorite fear factors are back, starting with that grinning, green one-eyed charmer, Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), and his main man, the towering, shaggy, blue Sulley (John Goodman). Mike, with the help of Sulley's massive monster shoulders, carried the first film, and the duo are responsible for much of what works in this one.
As voices go, Goodman and Crystal are a swell match. One's deep, rumbling good-time guy plays nicely off the other's slightly squeaky overachiever. In fact, the A-type Mike is the most appealing character Crystal has had in a while.
All in all, it's a pretty cool crowd they are hanging with. One that features Steve Buscemi, though his bug-eyed, purple-pleasing Randy has some visibility issues. Suffice it to say that there are quirks aplenty in this motley new crew.
But the freshness of the first idea — a world powered by the screams of children and the monsters responsible for keeping the lights on — has gone stale in the storytelling by screenwriters Daniel Gerson, Robert L. Baird and Scanlon.
The central conceit of the sequel turns back the hands of time by about 10 years. Mike and Sulley, the working guys and best friends punching the clock in "Monsters, Inc.," are about to meet for the first time. Freshmen at MU, both are out to prove they can be the scariest.
Sulley has the edge; screams run in his family. But Mike has hope, a head for nightmare numbers and more monster moxie than the little cutie should. So the guys have issues to work through.
As with most colleges, MU is governed by cliques. Basically, the campus breakdown is hot, cool and nerd. Guess which one likes Mikey?
When it comes to study, Sulley isn't interested. The only class that matters to Mike is the one that will put him on track for the prized scare degree. He wants to be one of those guys who walks through the door to the human world and into kids' dreams. The one who can put the scare meter into the red zone.
The action turns on MU's fabled Scare Games — like the Hunger Games, except no one dies or worries about dinner. Who will win: the big monsters on campus or the little guys?
In addition to the predictability of that scenario, the college pranks — where the film could have had some major fun — lack much invention. A stolen mascot? Really? Yes, it's a monster, but then aren't they all?
Ultimately, the movie is about friendships and loyalties. All are tested in the usual ways. The buddy bonding that should be tugging the heartstrings right about now doesn't have much pull. And the "rah, rah" marching band music is downright irritating — and dated.
That sour note is surprising in a genre that has distinguished itself for showcasing great tunes. More confounding, the brilliant Randy Newman composed the score and conducted. Maybe he had a bad day.

Sony fills a void we hadn't even realised existed on the PlayStation 3 this winter with Hustle Kings, one beautiful-looking game of billiards for the PlayStation Network.
Pool is one of those games that people who aren't involved with it on a regular basis quickly forget about once they finish playing, and video game pool even more so, as it's one of those sport genres that takes a very delicate touch to get just right. This winter Sony is banking on Hustle Kings to deliver exactly the sort of sublime billiards experiences that other games have failed to in the past. How? According the US Producer Aaron Orsak, it all comes down to ball control.
The amount of ball control is simply astounding, giving the player any and every shot option in the book…from masse shots to subtle swerves and tricky English, you can do anything to the cue ball in Hustle Kings that you can do around a real table. So the realism was there, but how would the game fare for a more casual gamer? Turns out everyone around the office, from the hardcore to the weekend warrior, to people I've rarely seen play games, found something to absolutely love about Hustle Kings.
While Aaron couldn't yet get into specifics on game modes and such, he did promise a ton of announcements in the coming months. For now, check out the game's official page for a trailer and more screens of Hustle Kings.

July 24, 2012-Getting Around in Trinidad
We fixed the backstay and had a couple more races. We had fun but didn't win and we didn't break anything else (lucky us). But now racing season is over and maybe it's time to get off the boat and see a little of Trinidad.
Organized tours aren't usually our thing but Jesse James, who runs the local taxi and tour company, makes it so easy we decided to take a few.

Welcome to Video Game Land — a place graced with the most extreme of climates. In the summer months, this locale transforms into a scorched desert with only a few shimmering oasis to sustain its residents. And in the winter months, it becomes a flood zone — the kind of place one could easily drown.
That is, when it comes to the flow of top-tier video game launches, gamers are caught in an endless cycle of draught and flood … when what we really need is a nice steady stream to drink from.
This comes to mind now as the warm months bring the list of weekly game launches to a trickle. Yes, May, June and July gave us "inFamous," " Ghostbusters: The Video Game " and "Wii Sports Resort." Meanwhile "Madden NFL 10" launches today and "Wolfenstein" launches Tuesday. But if big games are your thing, there's no denying that the pickings grow slimmer as the days grow longer.
But look ahead at the horizon. There, in the months to come, you'll find a tidal wave looming. Consider this list of games scheduled to launch from Oct. 20to Nov. 20: "Borderlands," "DJ Hero," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," "Assassin's Creed II," "Left 4 Dead 2," "Tony Hawk: Ride," "Tekken 6," "Dragon Age: Origins" and "Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time." And that doesn't include mega-games like "Halo 3: ODST," "The Beatles: Rock Band" and "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" which are also scheduled to launch this fall and winter.
So why does this cycle of feast or famine continue year after year? Spending summers waiting for the most anticipated games to trickle from the faucet is annoying … and so is getting a blast in the face come holiday season. It isn't good for game consumers trying to budget and balance the limited cash they have for purchases, and it can't be good for the games industry. I mean, right?
Bad for you, bad for me
"Unlike the movie industry and maybe the concert industry, the summer hasn't been very well utilized or monetized by the game publishers," says analyst Michael Cai, vice president of video game research at Interpret LLC.
Meanwhile, during the late fall and winter months, game publishers are madly monetizing away.
"Frequently, you see publishers launching similar games that are in the same genre or that will compete for gamers' mind share and wallet share at the same time. And sometimes those games are even coming from the same publisher," Cai says. And no, "It's definitely not good for their sales numbers."
Cai points out that last year's jam-packed holiday launch schedule was cited as a reason for underperforming sales from a number of titles. "Dead Space" and "Mirror's Edge" were among those hurt in the crush.
Certainly games make good gifts, so launching around the gift-giving holidays makes good sense to some extent. But also, "part of the reason might be a kind of inertia and risk aversion," Cai says. "Traditionally, the game industry generates more than 50 percent of their revenue in the fourth quarter and then it just turns into this kind of self-fulfilling circle that everybody believes they're going to do well in the fourth quarter and therefore everybody ships their big titles in the fourth quarter."
But Cai says publishers have been learning that this end-of-year rush doesn't always work and have been making adjustments. Games like "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "The Sims 3," for example, have been launched during the summer months to great success. Meanwhile, in recent weeks, publishers have announced they'll be postponing a multitude of games originally scheduled for release this holiday to next year instead.
A Capcom rep told Game Spot that they have delayed the planned holiday release of their third-person shooter "Dark Void" until early next year to avoid the crowded fall season. Meanwhile, Activision is moving its time-manipulating shooter "Singularity" out of the fall/winter schedule to next year so that it doesn't have to compete with another hugely anticipated Activision title: "COD: Modern Warfare 2." And Take-Two Interactive announced last month that it was cancelling the November launch of "Bioshock 2" and moving it to 2010.
The news has frustrated some gamers who were looking forward to playing these highly anticipated titles. But others are relieved.
"I'm glad there are so many game delays this holiday because I didn't have the money for all the games I wanted to play and I still don't," wrote gamer DjFlex53 in a discussion forum.
Warming up to the summer months
Certainly it makes sense that publishers would think of summer as a less-than-ideal time to peddle games — what with the sun and great outdoors luring players away from their machines. But the reality is, game playing hardly comes to a stop during the summer.
On Monday, Nielsen released stats showing that gamers are spending more time playing games this summer than last. In fact, this June was a record breaker, with data showing that total video game console usage minutes increased 21 percent over last June.
Cai believes it makes good sense for publishers to start thinking more seriously about launching big games during the summer. Not only is there less competition, but younger players — especially college kids — are out of school and have more time on their hands. Interpret LLC data shows that hours-per-week spent gaming among 18-to-24-year-olds increased by 9 percent during the last three months over the same period last year, Cai said.
He also points to the emergence of the Wii as something publishers should consider.
"Wii gamers care a little bit less about rushing out there and buying a game in the first week of its release," Cai says. "They tend to stretch out their purchases throughout the year, even games that have been released for a long time. So with gamer demographics changing it makes sense for some of these publishers to begin experimenting with a more refined release strategy."
Certainly Microsoft and Sony have found one smart way to put the slow spring and summer months to good use. Both have taken this time to launch and promote their best downloadable games — smaller games often from indie developers that could easily get trampled during the holiday crush.
Microsoft is in the midst of its second-annual Summer of Arcade event in which each week for five weeks they unveil one of their best new Xbox Live Arcade titles — the combustible comedy platformer "Splosion Man" and the Orson Scott Card-inspired side-scroller "Shadow Complex" (coming Wednesday) among them. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Sony ran a Spring Fever campaign — launching standout PlayStation Network titles like the gorgeous " Flower " and the stretchy, surreal adventure "Noby Noby Boy."
And that's one thing I've come to appreciate about the summer slowdown. It forces us gamers to slow down as well and to look for our gaming fix in new, less obvious places.
During these lazy summer days, I've spent quality time with WiiWare platformer "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" entranced by its elegant gameplay. I've wallowed in "Pure Hidden," the most spellbindingly gorgeous PC hidden-object game I've ever laid eyes upon. And I've jumped into the PSN's "Shatter," a stylish and addictive block-breaking game with a rump-shakin' original soundtrack.
Perhaps that summer dry spell isn't such a bad thing after all.

I warned you all it was coming. My love of pumpkin everything is in full swing. The crispy, fall air has arrived and I am ready to get into full baking mode. My baking has been a little derailed over the past few days due to our power outage, but I hope to get back on track within a few days. In the meantime, I went to the grocery store today to grab some ground meat & ice cream. I pledged to myself only to buy 1 flavor and only 1, until it was gone, or close to it. 😉 I think the only exception might be if we have a non-GF flavor, then maybe we would have a second, GF flavor floating around. Jon quickly pointed out the Edy's (or Dreyer's depeding on where you live) Slow Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream. It is a Limited Edition flavor. Edy's/Dryer's is one of the companies that will clearly label gluten, so you can just read the label and know if the product is GF or not. I decided that this would be perfect for my fall pumpkin cravings!
After my lunch I sat down with my bowl of Edy's Slow Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream. WOW! It was amazing! It was like eating a frozen piece of pumpkin pie. The texture was so smooth. The flavor, full of the fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, cloves & nutmeg. It has almost a little spice kick to it in the aftertaste. Definitely Fall worthy and a must have. I think that this could be really good paired with a slice of pumpkin bread (either my traditional pumpkin walnut raisin or pumpkin chocolate chip). Now, the really, really good news. There are only 100 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving (1/2 cup). Now how is that for satisfying??

It was the ultimate intersection of art and commerce.
Art because Jeff Beck was there, and commerce because the event generated tens of thousands of dollars for the Petersen Automotive Museum.
The Petersen, for those who don't know, is a world-class automotive museum on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. The 300,000-square-foot facility typically showcases 150 vehicles at any given time, ranging from classic race cars and vintage motorcycles to celebrity cars and vintage boats from the 1950s.
I was there last week for the "Race, Rock 'n Rally" gala, an annual fundraising event that this year honored three "car guys." This year's honorees were actor Patrick Dempsey (who is also a race car driver), World Rally Championship driver and Internet sensation Ken Block and British guitar legend Jeff Beck, who has had a lifelong passion for building hot rods.
Now I can appreciate classic cars and hot rods as much as the next guy, but I have to be honest. I was there for one reason and one reason only — to see and hear Jeff Beck.
Beck has long been at the top of my short list of rock guitar heroes, and his work in recent years only confirmed what I already knew. He is quite simply the best rock guitar player on the planet.
Beck was part of the British Invasion that also brought us the likes of Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton of Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, and well … that list goes on.
Page and Clapton have always been the household names. But Beck, for guitarists in the know, is the guy who took the instrument beyond simple licks and phrases and made it something bigger, in the same way saxophonist Ornette Coleman did in the world of free jazz.
The evening was a big success in terms of fundraising, due largely to some museum supporters with deep pockets who made astronomical bids on guitars, racing memorabilia and other items during the charity auction. A Fender Jeff Beck model Stratocaster that had been signed by the guitarist brought in a whopping $40,000.
A racing suit worn by Patrick Dempsey brought in several thousand more dollars and the list went on. It was a great way to generate funds to support educational programming at the Petersen.
Every year the museum hosts 15,000 children on field trips, and the Robert E. Petersen Free School Bus Program covers the cost of the buses for underserved schools.
The highlight of the evening came when Beck picked up his guitar. Accompanied by violinist Lizzie Ball and guitarist Nicholas Meier, he did a riveting version of Jimi Hendrix' "Little Wing," wringing unorthodox sounds and tones from the guitar as only he can. The result was both blistering and musical.
The performance was all the more amazing for its simplicity. He didn't have a wall of digital effects to enhance the sound because it was all in his hands. He followed "Little Wing" with "Danny Boy," the traditional English ballad that mirrors the melody of "Londonderry Air."
Seeing Beck up that close — I was barely more than 15 feet away — was otherworldly, to say the least.
And if that wasn't enough, I also snagged an impromptu photo of myself with him. In the world of art and commerce, it doesn't get any better than that.

That IS INDEED a rare and fantastic discovery!! Thank you for all the images!! I love reading these sorts of stories, and since MOTUC has flexed our imaginations with new origins being made from multiple sources, reading this seems cool, even if it is pretty much off any of the usual origin-charts.

I've actually known about these for quite a while now and actually have one of the pages, lack of money has actually kept me from buying anymore. The page I really want I can't get right now and if I find out one of you buys it I'm going to be PMing you with offers to wash your car for a year in order to try and get it from you.
The pages are quite a bit larger than standard comic pages and seemed to be inked with a marker. I really like Tez and his girl, they're my favorite characters in this. I agree with you guys, this origin is awesome and it NEEDS to be posted on the .org. Good job getting them all together. I'm left wondering if Mattel can access these characters for inclusion into the Classics line since they were never published.
I'll admit to being a bit envious of you guys because you discovered my secret stash but at least fans are getting in on the deal. Anyway,watch out, I may be PMing one of you.

I saw these a couple months ago, but questioned the validity of them because I have never seen or heard anything about them before. Nice to hear some theories on them and learn that they are actually authentic and not some fan fic. Interesting to see how many pages have sold in this one day alone since this thread started as well. These had been sitting untouched on ebay for some time. Good buys to all that are snagging pages. At slightly more than a classics figure these things are a steal!

i couldnt find these auctions. how much were they going for if people dont mind me asking. PM if you dont want to post. i am just curious.
ha yeah i noticed that. it just jumped out at me. This DEF has to be one of the first mentions that the good guys are name "the Masters of the Universe"
I want NA Skeletor and Rio Blast and I want them now!
I'm not sure if it's a no-no to post ebay auctions so I'll pm it to you...
And they range from as crazy low as $30 up to $70-$80 (and $300 for the 2 page splash).
What a wonderful find, these are awesome! I'm only at page 16 but whoever was responsible for creating this really infused a sense of history and even the potential for epic scale storytelling. I imagine that if this had actually made it to print it would've been a fan favorite depiction of He-Man.
Moonspinner reminds me of Cogline from Terry Brooks' Shannara series. Moonspinner seems like he would have been a really interesting character if this comic had been a series.
- Pg. 24 Just a thought, the character called Anom might later have become Beastman. Notice he uses what looks to be an energized whip on the [Battle] cat upon failing to ride it, and while clearly human his garb his highly suggestive of Beastman's.
- I like how the demons [pages 8 and 30] are seen to sometimes express a single thought/sentence through different individuals. It helps them stand apart from run of the mill demon/gargoyle henchman.

I love reading stuff like this. With MOTU there is always something that pops up. Even after all these years.
I am telling you I am lovin' those Demons.
This was awesome!! I loved the story, the origin, the artwork!! Would love a MOTUClassics Moonspinner figure too!! I'm all for the pre-filmation stuff!! Great find and thanks for sharing!

It was almost amusing to see the recent letter to the editor regarding supposed voter fraud in the Aiken Standard. I find it hard to believe that this person cannot perform a simple fact check on the internet to see that it is not true. Go to www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/2012fraud.asp.
This type of citizen makes us all look bad when they try to divide us by spreading these lies.I am also extremely disappointed that the Standard would allow such nonsense to be published. This country must come to the middle and look to the future in order for us to succeed. The election is over, the people have spoken.

Tina Sparkle's Skirt Pattern
Added Sep 27, 2010
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
This sewing and pattern-drafting project couldn't have been easier! I recently got in touch with Tina Sparkles, author of Little Green Dresses (an awesome book with 50 original sewing patterns & projects) and asked her if I could feature her basic skirt pattern on BurdaStyle. She said "of course" and wanted to see BurdaStyle's version. Well here it is!
I made Tina's "Ultra Miniskirt" in sage green reverse silk charmeuse— I wanted a vintage look that appears soft and worn-in, while having a boudoir sort of feel, like silk you've had for years…Paired with my vintage mushroom silk blouse the look was romantic and not too fussy. This is the perfect beginner's project, it couldn't be easier to sew this elastic waist skirt— and the look can be much more than simple, depending on the type of fabric you use and how you style your look.

Alison! I LOVE your version of the skirt and also your styling! I also like how you altered the pattern to include only a CB seam and a deeper hem. You can really do anything to any pattern to make it your own, and you really demonstrated that well on this project!!!

Alabama's Dee Milliner, projected by all NFL.com experts to be the top cornerback taken in April's NFL draft, will have surgery on a torn labrum in his right shoulder after this weekend's NFL Scouting Combine, according to a source who has spoken with the player.
Milliner still will perform every drill at the combine except for the bench press, according to ESPN.com.
The cornerback suffered the injury during his final season at Alabama and played through it during the Crimson Tide's title run.
Milliner emerged in 2012 after playing behind other NFL-bound stars such as Dre Kirkpatrick, Dont'a Hightower and Mark Barron in 2011.
Milliner's surgery will take place before Alabama's pro day, which is scheduled for March 13.
