Ah yes…it's St. Patties Day, me pals. Time to put on the greens and let the Irish in ye shine through like the mornin' sun. Now, if I'm ta be honest ya, there isn't as much as a drop of Irish blood pulsing through me veins… German/Austrian is the region my kin come from. But on the 17th of March it doesn't make much difference, now does it?
No…today we are all as Irish as little a leprechaun. And I'm not talkin' about that pip-squeak Martin St. Louis, either.
And ya know…every time we stumble across this time of year, I'm reminded of an old girlfriend of mine that I knew so many years ago when me pants were not so wide and me hair was just a wee bit fuller. She was a lovely gal with bright green eyes and locks of red hair that flowed in the breeze. She made the best Irish stew, did this beauty of a gal. She would get some meat and potatoes and some Guinness stout. She would serve up the stout…and toss away the stew.
But she had her one small quirk…she loved to hang out on the concrete slab out back of me house all the day long… a permanent fixture was she back there, very odd.
Patty was her name…Patty O'Furniture.
Now Patty was a sweet lass, but she wasn't what you would call "bright"…why, it would take her an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes. Once, right after I was eatin' some powdered donuts at the computer, she was just sure someone had sent her anthrax through the e-mail.
Aye, but if there was one thing dear Patty knew, it was if you want something really bad, ya sometimes hafta be willin' to fight for it. Things don't come easy in life and so ya just gotta dig in yer heels and stand yer ground when someone is tryin' to take something away from ya.
Take last night's Thrashers game against the Buffalo Sabres…that, me friends was a good ol' fashioned scrap if I ever did see one. Kinda reminded me of a Saturday evening brawl down at the local pub…it doesn't get any nastier that that. After building a 3-1 lead in the first period of play…an chasin' that stallion of a netminder Ryan Miller from the nets…the hometown boys had to fight for every inch of progress they could get, eventually winning 4-3. That sent the throng from slug-nation home with their heads droopin' lower than an old man who just spilled his pint on the floor…and the cat got to it before he could.
Ah yes…the infamous Sabres fans, God love 'em. They come into your buildin' singin' and yollerin' loud enough ya know…but when their boys take a tough one on the chin, they scatter faster than rats when ya light up a lantern in the barn.
Ah, but the slugsters will be feeling their oats again soon enough as their boys continue play next month…and probably into May at least…while our boys again hit the links earlier than would be to our likin'.
A couple of the boys that came from the cold, bitter climes of Buffalo helped to build the lead early on…Maxim O'Afinogenov was the lad that fed the little black biscuit to Nik O'Antropov who then shoveled it in for the first tally of the night. It came just 33 ticks of the clock into the match. Clarke MacArthur would later provide the secondary assists on Finny's goal that pt the Thrashers up 3-1.
For the night, the two former Sabres combined for one goal, 2 assists and a +2 rating.
But the hero in tonight's little skirmish was none other than Jimmy O'Slater who tipped home a pass from Nic O'Bergfors…who himself had a nifty little night with 3 helpers and finishing with a +2 rating.
Johan O'Hedberg had another winning effort for the boys in blue. His 29 saves on 32 shots were good enough to improve his overall record to 17-13-5.
Once again the Thrashers rang tunes off of the pipes of Philips Arena…four times I think, much like on Sunday when the Coyotes were in town. That sound is almost as awful as the noise that comes from the pipes…bagpipes…when me dear grandmother decided 86-years of age was her time to give them a try. I tell ya, it's the tune the old cow died of.
Regardless, it was indeed a very nice win by our boys. So when you're out celebrating St. patties day later with a pint or two…or fourteen…remember to raise one for them. They seemed to have stumbled across a four-leaf clover in this otherwise field of weeds known as March and it was a good night indeed.
Now, if only the Thrashers can find a way to stash that four-leaf clover in their back pocket and keep it with them the rest of the way. The good Lord knows they'll be needin' as much luck as they can.

I'm so not prepared! Nice to see our guys persevere and get the 'W'…. Hopefully this is something that'll spark our boys to something close to respectable play. I'm still amazed they chased Miller-maybe he just had something better to do tonight?

"…when me dear grandmother decided 86-years of age was her time to give them a try. I tell ya, it's the tune the old cow died of."
ROFL. Man that's hilarious! Ah I always enjoy going to these games with the Sabers. Even better when we get to send those transplant fans home looooosssseeeerrrrrs. I love how the boys started the game with a lot more urgency and playing like they wanted it more. I hope this helps build their confidence and they play like this every game for 60+ minutes because honestly that is the only way this team has a chance. It's not going to be an easy road, especially with April's schedule coming up (which will make most Thrashers fan pee their pants…or drink REAL heavily…not necessarily in that order).
March 17th, 2010
4:29 am
Barry-gotta agree with you-we're still not seing a full 60 minutes out of the squad; who knows where we'd be in th standings if they did???
I did like the breakout tonight-BIG improvement from last week-if the boys can tighten up a few other rough edges and start playing a full 60 minutes, they might do something with what's left of the season.
March 17th, 2010

McDonalds has the green milkshake back for the "green season". A 100 percent Irish girl wishes all of you a Happy St. Patrick's day on the morning following a great Thrashers win. I would have loved to see those Sabres fans run out of the rink although like you said Rawhide, they definitely have the post season to look forward to soon.
March 17th, 2010
8:05 am
Remember us transplants that made the transition to being Thrasher fans over being Sabres fans. Sat next to a chick last night that called be a traitor for crossing over to the Thrash. I told her I am an Atlantan now, so I cheer for the home team.
Great game by Jimmy Slater-BIG hit on Tyler Myers, which was a game-changer. Game winning goal when he WENT TO THE NET. Jimmy's not that big, but he sure plays big. Slater, you have converted me-time to get Jimmy's name on a long term contract.
Buffalo proved that they are nothing more than a collection of third liners with a great goaltender. And when their great goalie is average, Buffalo can be had on any night. Just shows you what a goalie can do for a team's fortunes.
It would be great to be in Buffalo today for St. Patrick's Day. Buffalonians never need a reason to drink-just stand outside Gorin's before a Buf-Atl game and see the constant flow of beer drinkers. Lotta Irish Pubs in Buffalo-today, everyone is Irish.

Bill – you are the best. I laughed loud enough for the guy in the next office to come see what was wrong.
And the boys in blue are only 3 back, as they get the Bruins next tuesday. (Maybe 4 depending on tie breakers. ) The fat lady is on the stage, but she ain't singing yet. (Okay, she's singing but I'm ignoring her).

Good effort last night, glad it paid off with 2 points. Efforts like this give us an idea of what this team is capable of if they could just find a way to be consistant! Nik has quietly and unassumingly become the team leader here, anyone else think he should get the "C"? He is playing hard at BOTH ends of the ice. Can someone please show Toby the replays of all the goals that are scored all season as result of a defenseman SHOOTING the puck!!!
March 17th, 2010
8:26 am
rob, like you stated, the offort was there last night. Jimmy wasn't the only player going to the net. Everyone worked, even Bogo had a good game.
Gotta feel good for Max getting a goal against his former team. Too bad he hit the post on the empty net.
March 17th, 2010
8:38 am
Top of tha morning to ya Rawhide. (Ok that's enough of that)
Did enjoy the game. I think Moose is starting to show some wear from being in net all the time. It's a matter of concern considering the alternative.
Really enjoyed watching Slater. Have bben a fan of his from the beginning but he has really stepped up since sitting the beginning of the season.
Hope to see much more of last nights type of play.
Happy St. Patricks day all! Since I don't drink, will some one have a couple for me? Thanks.

I would have called the Slug fans cockroaches, but rats fit the bill too. Either way it's always fun to watch them scamper out of Philips faster than lightning when they lose. Wish they could be more like the cool Buffalo fans like World be Free and Spudd Webb are here.
Great win last night. A little to late, but I'll take it.

March 17th, 2010
10:02 am
WBF, let me echo O'Scotty when he compliments you. As a native Atlantan, it is nice to see a "transplant" adopt the local team. I readily admit I have no experience living in another city and having to decide where my loyalty lies. I would hope that at some point I would just wake up realizing I was growing fond of the local outfit. Who knows though?
The other thing is this. I have no issue with fans of other teams cheering for their team. I wish there were enough Thrasher fans at games so they couldn't get in in droves, but oh well. It is the way they cheer that labels them. I got into it with a couple of Ranger fans last year or the year before. They were making comments about how stupid and unknowledgable Thrasher fans are. After going at it, we all settled into the game. They came up afterwards, shook my hand and apologized and told me they knew they are —holes. I told them that is ok, just don't try to prove it every game.
To me, the Penguin fans are the most arrogant. After the last time they were here, my girlfriend and I made a pact to miss those games. She hates the way they act and she is from PA. We will not be attending the final home game of the year. I am too old to be fighting and too old to have to defend her. HD at home for certain teams is the ticket!!!

Es ist sehr schwierig für mich zu versuchen, sich Irish anzuhören. Aber den Sabres anhängern verlassen das gebäude so traurig war wert zu ein ganzer topf des golds!
March 17th, 2010
10:33 am
So where is the old Deadhorse Stooge to scold and admonish all of the thousands of silly and stupid Sabres fans who dared to defy his wisdom by coming to the game and there by subsidizing the madness that is Thrashers hockey?? Do they not realize Don Waddell is a lifeform lower than the serpents St. Patrick led out of Ireland??
I wonder when the one half of STH that are really Sabres' fans in Thrashers' clothing will wake up and realize how foolishly they are spending their hard-earned money? Don't they understand their money is better spent supporting Georgia State football or the Gwinnett Gladiators? What a bunch of short-sighted fools!!
March 17th, 2010
10:38 am
Perhaps its the Irish brawler in me, but I love it when there are a few of the enemy around (though don't go changing back on my account, WBF). Makes it a little more intense than, say, a Florida game. Sabres and Flyers fans top my most obnoxious list.
Nice to win, but without a PP we haven't any chance of post-season. To repost from last night, has JA just completely given up on the idea of a powerplay? PP Unit 1: Max, Antro & Bergie. Doesn't that sound a bit like our first line? And PP Unit 2: Pevs, Little and the General. Wait, that sounds like our second line! Did JA even notice when we had powerplays? How about parking Arty in front of the net? How about throwing Kozzy a bone and seeing if he'll spark something? No imagination, no discernable system, no chance of long term success.
Oh, and I'd really like us to re-sign Max. If we were willing to sign the defensive disaster that was Kovy, we should get this guy tied up for 2 or 3 years.
March 17th, 2010
10:46 am
O'Smoothie – niiiice! But you know we won't hear from the Stooge until we lose. Perhaps his KY jelly comment got him in trouble with some sheep that don't appreciate his advances and he'll be silent a little longer.
March 17th, 2010
10:47 am
Speaking of the power play, I think everytime Enstrom touches the puck the whole arena should just start yelling "shoot! shoot! shoot!", then maybe he would get the message. I swear that kid is afraid to shoot on the power play.
March 17th, 2010
10:47 am
WBF…you know this as well as I do…year after year no matter how bad the thrashers are and no matter how good the sabres are, the thrashers play them SO WELL. I dont, DONT understand how the thrashers don't play like this everygame???????????????????? Can anyone explain this???
March 17th, 2010
10:49 am
It is always sad to see "fans" supporting their team acting like idiots. It is one thing to have a good natured rivalry, see who can make more noise, or whatever, but to turn it personal all over a game is just pathetic. Unfortunately I see it happen all too often also. Sad they can't see the line between fan and idiot, and therefore make all the good fans of a certain team look bad to others. Whenever I take my wife to the Sabres game and we see some of their fans acting like idiots, I tell her "now you see why I left" with a smile.
March 17th, 2010
10:52 am
You may be on to something there, since obviously the coaching staff won't tell him to pull the trigger more often!!
March 17th, 2010
11:09 am
Tom, thanks dude, the Thrash are my #1 team now, Sabres 1A. Sabres fans are just enthusiastic for their team and hungry for a winner. No town needs a winner more than Buffalo. The city gets dumped on for being a cold and dreary plus not having a winning team since the 1964 AFL Champ Bills. Tough living in a town that loses 4 Super Bowls and 2 Stanley Cup Finals. I heard the Ranger fans were real jerks Friday night.
This is my home now-gotta go with the home teams. Just got back from Spring Training with my son-Go Braves!
March 17th, 2010
11:12 am
Badger Bob – no doubt…our PP is pathetic. Not sure if they have any idea of what they want to do. Then again, even on Sunday when they were shooting more, they still couldn't score in a normal PP fashion. Didn't both PPG come on the mini-rush or transition back up the ice. I honestly think Popovic has a better sense of when to pull the trigger. In fact, at even strength last night, there was a sequence in which Pops shot the puck 3 times in a 30 sec stretch. Once was blocked, but he just kept slingin' it putting pressure on the Lalime and the Sabres D. He and Oduya seem to have a quicker release and they don't worry about how hard the shot is, they either flick the wrister or they shorten their backswing on the slapper. Not rocket science. But I guess when you're so accustomed to playing for the perfect pass or play, your D-men become a bit obsessed with passing.

"ASG may be seeking to sell Hawks and Thrashers"
Oh, dear God, please let it be true and sell to a LOCAL owner who actually cares about and will keep the Thrashers here.(Don't care about the Hawks. That being said, is there anyone out there with deep enough pockets and local in the economy that could afford to buy the teams and the arena?

"…to scold and admonish all of the thousands of silly and stupid Sabres fans who dared to defy his wisdom by coming to the game and there by subsidizing the madness that is Thrashers hockey??…"
Wow, logic is tough for you, isn't it?
By your own scribble, these are "Sabres fans". They are supporting their team when it visits.
My admonishment is with "Thrashers" fans.
Understand the difference? Probably not, so I'll check in later for the typical sheepset answers from you and your new lapdog, who is enamored with you and follows you around hilariously.
However, I will concede that when "Sabres" fans, "Senators" fans, "Penguins" fans, et. al. do attend Thrashers games, they are 'supporting' the abomination of an organization which runs the Thrashers. That's a fact. It's direct support–but the logic of them attending is completely different than that for a Thrashers fan.
Completely different. But, hey, I don't expect too much insight from certain folks around here…

A Thrasher's fan version of "Oh Danny Boy"
(To be sung over many an adult beverage)
Oh Danny boy, the fans the fans are calling you
To please step down, say can you please resign.
Oh you have been the downfall of the Thrashers
To dwell again at the bottom of this league.
Oh can't you tell, we really want a winning team
To get a chance to lift Lord Stanley's cup.
Oh but with you, the chances are a fading
Oh Danny boy, oh please won't you resign.

Same old Sage-you act never changes. Sage and Schultz, one in the same always recycling the same old toilet water. If people want to go to a hockey game to cheer a team, it's their business. If you have an issue with this, stand outside Phillips and confront people individually.
Yep, we're all sheep and you my friend are a chicken.
Talk about getting fleeced-the Braves gave up prospects to Pittsburgh for Nate McLouth and his .040 batting average. That trade is WORSE than Coburn for Zhitnik. WORSE!
Frank Wren and Don Waddell-one in the same! We have 2 idiot GM's in this town.
March 17th, 2010
12:18 pm
Rawhide–"I'm reminded of an old girlfriend of mine that I NEW so many years ago……" Actually makes sense when you think about it.
But seriously, I'm still stunned that Miller got pulled but even the best can have an off day. I am now haunted more and more by that game in Tampa when I felt they should have pulled the Moose. If we did and had won, is it possible that we would be closer to the 8th spot now? And Rob–I've been saying for weeks now that Antropov deserves that "C" more than anyone. Glad to know (Rawhide–read NOW) that I'm not the only one.
But the game last night belonged to Slater! He may not have earned a "star" officially; but he got one in my book.
March 17th, 2010
12:39 pm
Savannah-Sabres were sleepwalking in the first 10 minutes last night, contributed to Miller's demise. They are norotious for starting slowly; looks like they left their game at a BBQ joint last night!
Shocked when Slater did not get a star, especaially after the hit on Myers.

2:04 pm
While there's more that goes into selecting a captain than what we see on ice, I'd support having Antro wear it for two reasons: always responsible defensively, which is very admirable in a guy with his point total; and the most recent guy to commit to this team (with apologies to Pevs). He'll be a source of stability for the next three years.
When considering Slater's strong game, consider he was also saddled with Charmin and a very lackadaisical Army. Mr. non-existant video coach, please sit those two down and show them what good things can happen when you send the puck at the net and storm the net.
March 17th, 2010

I think he really wanted to be moved at the deadline. He has gone back to his passive, slow skating ways since.

When he first came over there was a guy from NJ that was on the blog and says he is real nervous.
As for Armstrong…..he has been this way recently after really playing well and if the reason is he wanted out…..I hope they boot him to Whiney peg. But if that isn't it, I hope he snaps out of it and plays some more hockey because this split personality thing is disturbing. When Antropov first got here I had reservations about him, but he has played some inspiring hockey which the rest of the guys can take stock of…..especially the young guys like Kane, Begozian and Bergfors…and any of the drafts and Wolves who come up. And he seems to be unassuming on the ice when he scores, and takes it personal when something goes wrong. Guess we will see what happens at the end of the year.

Sage, would you care to contrast the successes of your boycott with the GM you are so obsessed with? OK, I'll do it for you then. He has had ten years and only has two winning seasons. You got your little peelings hurt by him in 2002 wasn't it? But, in all that time you've masterminded this boycott, all you have to show for it is a few STH reps being dismissed. Maybe your "sheep" should be calling for your wemoval as well. Your record sucks worse than Waddell's and that is unimaginable. Two monuments to incompetence.

Ottawa's next. The Sens seem to be struggling a bit, since the Olympic break. Maybe NOW is the best time to be facing them? I suspect it will be Moose in net, but it was Pavelec who made something like 50 saves against them, earlier this year, in Ottawa. I kinda hope we do start Pavelec. Maybe he has their number?

it would be nice if Pavs could get anyone's number now, but I think the word on him is out to everyone that you just need to get him moving and he becomes easy pickings. He won't be much good to us until he figures out his side to side movement…hopefully someone works with him on that A LOT this summer. Otherwise his record of late will continue I'm afraid.
March 18th, 2010

Put a shock collar on Pavs and if makes a mistake – ZAP! Start at a level 1 and each game increase until he learns. We could do that with our shooters as well. Player fans on a shot ZAP to his knees he goes.

LAC – get better soon. If it has you up at 2:49 am, it really must suck!
More powerplay belly aching here: we are 5/37 since the Olympic break (13.5%, which is beyond pathetic, especially against a group of teams that includes 5 of the league's ten worst penalty kill units). Even more concerning (and as my master Smoothie alluded to yesterday), four of those five have come on the break. Only one – Bergie vs NYI – came when we were set up in the zone. So our best powerplay tactic is to lure the opposition into our zone, then break out quickly. Unconventional. Perhaps JA is basing his PP strategy on Gladiator:
Falco: I have been told of a certain sea snake which has a very unusual method of attracting its prey. It will lie at the bottom of the ocean as if wounded. Then its enemies will approach, and yet it will lie quite still. And then its enemies will take little bites of it, and yet it remains still.
Commodus: So, we will lie still, and let our enemies come to us and nibble.

Frequent Thought News punching bag Representative Fred Upton (R-Mich.) published a comedy "Viewpoint" column in last week's Kalamazoo Gazette. I'm pretty sure it's tongue-in-cheek, but Fred's sense of humor is so resolutely droll (ex: "I vote against child marriage bills that I'm co-sponsoring! Haha-ha-HA!") that I'm going to risk taking him seriously. Let's do this "Fire Joe Morgan" style (FJM bloggers: I still check once in a while to see if you've decided to pick it back up again…).
It's pretty simple: Fred's text is in bold. My commentary is not.
Energy Tax Prevention Act won't weaken Clean Air Act
Ok, fair enough. That's a clear thesis statement in your headline, Fred. You're off to a good start.
We continue to endure tough times here in Southwest Michigan and across the country. Unemployment remains high as gas prices hurtle toward $4 a gallon. And yet, despite our economic maladies, there are unelected bureaucrats in Washington furiously working on regulations that will not only circumvent Congress, but also send more manufacturing jobs overseas and increase costs at the pump.
Huh. Not sure what this has to do with the thesis, but hey, run with it, big guy.
During the last Congress, legislation was introduced to regulate greenhouse gases through a program known as cap-and-trade.
Yeah, I remember that. You were a big cap-and-trade fan, right? After all, back in the 1990s, you backed it!
That effort failed as Democrats and Republicans alike recognized such a proposal would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs, make America less competitive, and raise gas and energy costs for everyone—all without significant environmental benefit. Such a policy would have been an economic dagger for struggling states such as Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
That's right. You changed positions on cap-and-trade.
Growing up on the shores of Lake Michigan, I have always favored common-sense environmental policies, believing that we can create jobs and be good stewards of the environment at the same time. I also believe overreaching regulation is neither appropriate nore helpful.
Yes. You have "ALWAYS FAVORED" common-sense environmental policies, except when you haven't. Do you think we haven't been listening? Do you think we don't pay attention when you talk? Do you expect us to forget? Are the Koch-Industries-campaign-dollars going to your head? Your soul?
With cap-and-trade derailed by bipartisan opposition, the EPA has changed course, now seeking to regulate greenhouse gas emissions by bureaucratic fiat.
Yes. "Bureaucratic fiat." That's what you're calling Supreme Court decisions? That's what you're calling the Court's interpretation of congressional legislation? Word to the wise: inconvenient Court decisions don't lose their heft just because you—and Big Oil—don't like them.
Also, can we please all remember that the House of Representatives DID pass cap-and-trade as part of H.R. 2454?
To do so, the agency is attempting to grant itself new authority to impose greenhouse gas rules under the Clean Air Act, even though Congress rejected that intention.
No, Fred. The Supreme Court agreed that the EPA had the authority to develop these rules. Haven't you been paying attention? The EPA's just playing by the rules as interpreted by the Court. In fact, the Court 's decision read [emphasis added]:
The Administrator shall by regulation prescribe (and from time to time revise) in accordance with the provisions of this section, standards applicable to the emission of any air pollutant from any class or classes of new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines, which in his judgment cause, or contribute to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
The Court asked the EPA to propose these standards, in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
One other thing: so the last Congress couldn't get its $#*^ together, but that hardly means that Congress "rejected" cap-and-trade.
(Also, "rejected that intention?" What kind of writing is that? What the hell does that mean? [Let's assume you had a lackey write this one, because otherwise I'd have to admit that the University of Michigan turns out graduates with subpar writing skills. Your lackey must have gone to Ohio State.])
Unless Congress intervenes, EPA's efforts to impose a cap-and-trade agenda threaten to drive gas prices even higher, increase utility rates, send manufacturing jobs overseas, and hamstring our economic recovery.
Wait a second. You're a GOP man, right? You don't get to talk about hamstringing our economic recovery. That's been the Republican platform for the last two years. Hush. Also, let's not forget that your beholdenness to radical free-market ideology is part of what's been lofting jobs across the oceans for decades.
Any further constraints on our domestic energy capacity or self-imposed increases on the costs of production will drive prices at the pump even higher.
Ha! Now is a good time to remind you that there's little evidence that these VERY MODEST regulations will have much of an effect on energy prices. You seem to be confusing the EPA's Supreme-Court-authorized work with H.R. 2454. After all, THE EPA'S PROPOSED REGULATIONS APPLY TO FACTORIES/SMOKESTACKS…NOT AUTOMOBILES. It's pretty unlikely that it will affect "prices at the pump."
Studies have estimated that previous legislative efforts to cap greenhouse gas emissions would drive up gas prices 19 cents by 2015 and 95 cents in 2050.
I knew it! "Previous legislative efforts" (H.R. 2454) were serious attempts to regulate greenhouse gases. This is much, much more modest effort. Don't let that stop you from quoting irrelevant information, though!
Because EPA's greenhouse gas regulations are designed to achieve similar goals as cap-and-trade legislation, and because such regulations would directly impact domestic refineries and production, the regulations are similarly expected to drive up the price of gasoline. In fact, per EPA itself, it is highly likely regulations will be even more costly than cap-and-trade legislation.
Wait, WHAT? Even though the data you're citing was for a different policy approach entirely, you're saying we can assume that it will have the same effects because it has the same intent? Really? I mean, that's like saying that cocaine and alcohol are both attempts to escape from everyday anxiety, so we should regulate them identically. That's like saying that Miguel Cabrera and Mark Reynolds are both trying to score runs, so we should assume that they have the same effect on a game.
Ok, my turn: Obama's health care reform law is an attempt to reduce health care costs and provide access formore Americans. The GOP has promised to repeal it and provide an alternative bill that will reduce costs and provide access for more Americans. If Obama is a socialist, then so are YOU. In fact, "per the GOP itself, it is highly likely that Republicans are MORE committed socialists than the president." Same goals=same policy, right? RIGHT?
This is fun, but it's completely bogus, Fred.
You go on to tout your own legislation:
This bipartisan legislation (The Energy Tax Prevention Act), which passed my committee 34-19, would prevent EPA from regulating carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in an effort to address climate change, thereby upholding Congress's original intent under the Clean Air Act while protecting jobs and keeping costs lower for households and employers.
Bwahahahaha! Now we're protecting Congress' original intent from the 1970s? Are you sure you wouldn't rather ask the Founders?
Notice how Upton never actually addresses whether anthropogenic climate change is a serious policy concern? You'd think that this would be of primary importance when trying to interpret Congress's original intent in passing the Clean Air Act. The Supreme Court—you know, the federal branch charged with interpreting laws—thought so. Upton does imply that the ETP Act is worth passing because it prevents the EPA from addressing climate change. I guess that means he's suggesting that addressing it would be a mistake, but it's hardly clear…
Still, it's interesting that a column on not weakening the Clean Air Act would dodge that question. Come to think of it, it's strange that a column on not weakening the Clean Air Act has thus far been all about the (completely unsubstantiated) economic risks of regulating carbon…and has said NOTHING about our environmental situation.
Unfortunately, there are some who will support EPA's regulations no matter how many jobs will be lost or how high gas and energy prices will go.
Yes, perhaps your opponents are masochistic prosperity-hating a-holes who want revenge on the nation's proletariat. Or maybe, just maybe, they—along with the guy who wrote your headline for you—take the data on climate change seriously. Maybe they "will support EPA's regulations" because they believe that it will be good for our economy, or because they are terrified of the long-term effects of our oil addiction.
And they are distorting the facts to make their case.
No, Fred, that's your job. You have yet to provide any empirical data backing your position…you've provided evidence for why you opposed H.R. 2454, but nothing on the EPA's regulations. You chump.
The Energy Tax Prevention Act does allow states to continue setting climate policy as they see fit, but prevents those actions from being imposed nationally by unelected bureaucrats.
You DO know that the WORLD'S climate isn't a local thing, right? It's a global problem. The effects aren't only going to hit the states that don't regulate.
It does not weaken the Clean Air Act.
This is tantamount to saying "NUH-UH!" Got any proof, Fred? Your bill DOES limit the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Clean Air Act.
It does not limit EPA's ability to monitor and reduce pollutants such as lead and ozone that damage public health.
This really has nothing to do with the argument, and you know it. Rising sea levels, more frequent droughts, and more violent storms don't damage public health?
Etc, etc…
I have supported such laws and have stood up to the big polluters, both in Washington and here at home.
Don't say that too loudly…Koch and Co. are listening. You've got their pocket lint in your hair, buddy. You'll forgive us if we discount this particular unsubstantiated assertion, right?
I remain focused on protecting our Great Lakes from invasive species such as the Asian carp, and have worked to prevent companies from increasing hazardous discharges into our precious waters.The Enbridge pipeline leak was a tragedy and you can be assured I will be using my chairmanship to reauthorize comprehensive pipeline safety legislation.
Yes, this is all really good, Fred, but it's hardly the ONLY danger facing the Great Lakes. Cf. The effects of climate change on the lakes. It's like stepping into an argument about abortion and saying, "I'm pro-life! I think that genocide is wrong!" It's laudable, but it's not really the argument we're having. This is about climate change.
To that end, are you ever going to explain WHY your bill doesn't narrow the Supreme-Court-authorized interpretation of the Clean Air Act?
As we focus on creating jobs and revitalizing Michigan's economy, we cannot afford to hand over the keys to recovery to an unchecked federal agency.
I've hit this already. You can do better than that, Fred. "Unchecked?" Remember Massachusetts v. EPA? Remember that the Supreme Court asked the EPA to do this? Remember that it's their job to interpret laws and the Constitution?
"Apoplectic" hardly covers it.
Our families and job creators deserve better.
That's true. They deserve a congressman who can give an honest account for himself. They deserve a congressman who listens to them, not Koch Industries. They deserve a congressman who can take a position and hold it longer than a few minutes. They deserve an end to pandering. They deserve someone who believes that scientific facts matter.
But hey, Fred, I write columns all the time, and this is one of your rare efforts. Care to take a mulligan on this and try again?

The pretty town of VILA VIÇOSA is dominated entirely by its ducal palace – the last residence of the Portuguese monarchy – and by the coachloads of tourists who descend upon it for a quick visit before being whisked off again. Because of that, it's actually quite a pleasant place to spend the night, with an unhurried small-town atmosphere that survives the daily imposition of visitors. As at Estremoz, marble is the dominant building material: the road from Borba, 5km away, is lined on either side with enormous marble quarries, and in town everything, from the pavements to the humblest building, is made of the local stone.
Brief history
The dukes of Bragança established their seat here in the fifteenth century, originally in the castle and then, from the early sixteenth century, in the Paço Ducal. The family were always an influential part of Portugal's ruling elite, but it was only after Spain's Philip II took over the Portuguese throne in 1581, that the Bragança family became truly powerful. After sixty years of Spanish rule, Portuguese soldiers rebelled and occupied the palace at Lisbon. The Duke of Bragança was the obvious choice to take back the throne from the Spanish and he duly became Dom João IV of Portugal. From 1640 to the birth of the Republic in 1910, the dynasty continued to rule as monarchs. Although the Bragançan dukes and kings had lavish palaces all over the country, they often chose to stay in Vila Viçosa – indeed it was here that Dom Carlos slept the night before he was shot in a republican uprising in the capital in 1908. His son, Manuel II, also used the palace frequently before his eventual exile to Britain two years later. Afterwards, the family was banned from entering Portugal until 1950 so, it is alleged that when the current duke, Dom Duarte Pio – who still considers himself heir to the throne – was born (1945) it was in the Portuguese embassy in Berne, Switzerland, to ensure any possible future right of succession.Read More
Don't pick the flowers
Don't pick the flowers
Every two years, the pretty little whitewashed town of Redondo (18km southwest of Vila Viçosa) bursts into bloom during the extraordinary Ruas Floridas, a week-long flower festival with a difference. In a revival of a nineteenth-century tradition, the cobbled old-town streets are covered in flowers, shade canopies, human figures, exotic animals and life-size scenes made entirely from coloured paper. Each street is responsible for choosing a theme, so you might walk up to the castle through a steamy jungle complete with elephants and parrots and back down along a Brazilian beach; caricatures of the local women wash clothes in a paper river, while wild boars root in paper acorns. At lunchtime, every single restaurant in Redondo is crammed with local families and visitors; at night there are marching bands, dances, concerts and bullfights. The event is biennial (odd years) and is usually held from the last day or two in July through the first week in August (exact dates on the local town council website wcm-redondo.pt).

Installed and activated BuddyPress = Wall of Warnings!
Hello there,
I just installed BuddyPress 220.127.116.11 on a Multi-site WordPress 3.0 setup. As soon as I activated, I got a wall of warnings, like:
Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated – argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of apply_filters(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /home/iffpe/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 547
I need to have PHP warnings turned on in order to finish the development of my own plugin, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to use BuddyPress without getting these warnings. As it is, my site is unusable.

Black Book
Prestige projects, big-budget Oscar contenders, studio period pieces—most European auteurs, you pluck em' out of their homeland and drop em' into Hollywood, these are the pictures they make. But not Paul Verhoeven. No, he had other, less glamorous aspirations: crossing the pond in the late 80s, the Dutch provocateur eschewed middlebrow melodrama in favor of outrageously violent action blockbusters (like Robocop or Total Recall) and trashy sex thrillers (like Basic Instinct). What's kept his work interesting all these years—aside from his formidable mastery of film language—is the strain of biting satire evident in even his weakest of efforts. If high-octane set-pieces are the writer-director's greatest gift, irony is his secret weapon.
Yet Black Book, Verhoeven's latest and the first movie he's made overseas in more than two decades, is an irony-free affair—that is, unless you consider the central irony of Verhoeven making what is probably his most Hollywood film outside of Hollywood. Black Book would play well on a double bill with The Lives of Others, and not just because both feature the charismatic Sebastian Koch in key roles. Slick and flatly conventional, both in form and function, this upscale yarn concerns a young Jewish woman (Carice van Houten) who, at the tale end of World War II, joins an organized resistance movement. Seeking to exact revenge on the soldiers who butchered her family, she gets mixed-up in a tangled web of deception, going undercover as the mistress of a prominent Nazi official (Koch) and finding herself (rather dubiously) torn between allegiances.
Like many an American war drama, Black Book is long and convoluted, meticulous in its construction but lacking much in the way of genuine excitement or intrigue. Verhoeven stages the hell out of every scene, putting his action-movie chops to good use and keeping the bloated narrative moving along at a decent clip. Yet with the exception of a few basic moral quandaries, the film is almost entirely devoid of ambiguous subtext—there's more going on at the fringes of Starship Troopers than there is at the very center of this one. Most surprising, though, is that despite flashes of full-frontal nudity, Black Book is strangely sexless, anti-erotic even. And that's one complaint I never thought I'd be lobbing against a Paul Verhoeven movie. C+

Hot Fuzz
Edgar Wright doesn't do parody like his peers do. Unlike the Wayans and the Zuckers and the National Lampoon-ers of the world, Wright is less interested in mocking his targets than he is in paying sloppy, affectionate tribute to them. He doesn't spoof, he writes cinematic love letters to his influences—he's a fan first, a satirist second. Giddy reverence was the driving force behind Wright's first feature, Shaun of the Dead, a sublimely silly take on George Romero gut-munchers of yore. The key to that film's success was the way that it worked as both a droll British rom-com and an honest-to-God zombie invasion thriller—a playful homage that scaled back the laughs and became the real deal in its genuinely suspenseful final act.
Hot Fuzz, Wright's hilarious follow-up, basically employs the same modus operandi: it's a goof on over-the-top action movies that morphs into a real over-the-top action movie. As with Shaun, co-writer Simon Pegg is the star, though he's playing a vastly different character this time out. Introduced via an amusing, Departed-style montage, Pegg is a London super-cop who gets transferred to a sleepy, seemingly crime-free hamlet for making his fellow officers look bad. Uptight and humorless, he gets matched up with a doofus partner (Nick Frost, doing a more innocuous variation on his Shaun sidekick), a slovenly but well-meaning buffoon who dreams of Lethal Weapon/Die Hard glory.
Most of the big laughs in Hot Fuzz derive from the tension between Pegg and Frost, and from the natural flow of the film's fish-out-of-water story. It's a charming, small-scale comedy—that is, until the last reel, when it becomes a noisy celebration of artless Hollywood action movies. Yet if Wright is a little too spot-on in his recreation of Michael Bay theatrics (the explosive finale blatantly mimics the director's ultimate filmic atrocity, Bad Boys 2) he's clever enough to skewer as well as indulge in the brainless excess of these sound and fury spectacles. Anyway, the bad taste of Bay is washed away instantly by the scrumptious flavor of Bigelow—it's the references to Point Break that earn this winning tribute its action geek stripes. A-

Holy Crap
"What hath God wrought?" scream the ads for The Reaping. A better question might be "What hath The Exorcist wrought?" Stephen Hopkin's profoundly stupid religious thriller is little more than the latest tiresome retread of William Friedkin's seminal shocker. But don't expect anything as deviously obscene as masturbation with a crucifix in this slow-as-molasses potboiler—its thrills are of a much tamer variety. An uncharacteristically flat Hilary Swank stars as a former Baptist missionary who shunned the cloth when Sudanese tribesmen sacrificed her family to their pagan God. (Oh, those barbaric Africans!) Traveling to one of those creepy, backwoods Southern towns that seem to exist only in the movies, Swank finds her lack of faith tested by an onslaught of successive Biblical plagues. Is it the work of a vengeful God or his fallen-angel rival, that ultimate boogey man of Christian mythology, Lucifer himself? By the end, you'll scarcely give a damn—an appropriate response, given the filmmakers' minimal knowledge of or interest in the theological doctrines they exploit. Swank's spiritual crisis is just a prelude to those plagues, an excuse to indulge in some elaborate CGI mayhem. Yet, with the exception of a skin-crawly swarm of pissed-off locusts, even the special effects fail to impress. The fact that the film can't even decide where it stands ideologically—its contempt for devout Christians gives way to a blind endorsement of violent, old-school, Divine Intervention—is only slightly less predictable than its string of silly twist endings. The only thing these hacks need more than a year in Sunday school is a semester in Screenwriting 101. D

Down and Dirty Pictures
Grindhouse, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's latest collaboration, finally opened this weekend. I caught an early screening on Thursday and the theatre was packed, so imagine my surprise that it only raked in a paltry $11 million. Go figure-- I guess America prefers their B movies in bite-sized chunks, not 3-hour blocks.
My review of this gonzo double-feature, posted here and below.
They arrived together, renegade auteurs of pop art cinema, screeching into the limelight on a wave of white-hot industry buzz, storming the gates of Hollywood with their respective calling-card debuts. Separately but simultaneously, they exploded onto the indie movie scene, united by a deep-rooted love of low culture, the trash art spectacles of their youth: spaghetti westerns, Italian horror romps, Hong Kong shoot-em'-ups. They were B movie connoisseurs, rebels on the back-lot, best buddies and kindred spirits—not Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but Mr. Brown and the Desperado.
And yet despite the shared interests, the budding partnership, the parallel rises to fame, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are not—repeat, not—cut from the same cloth. A mutual fixation on guns and girls, blood and octane masks the inherent dissimilarities, both in their work and their reputations. Rodriguez is the movie bandit, the do-it-yourself purveyor of low-rent, high-concept pulp entertainment—Howard Hawks with a laptop and a cowboy hat. Tarantino is the art house provocateur, the post-modern pop-culture deconstructionist; he's a retro-cool hipster who wins Oscars and dates movie stars. Watch a Rodriguez and a Tarantino joint back-to-back and you're bound to see the vast differences between them—the way that the former tends to mete out cheap thrills early and often, while the latter holds his guns, talks around the action, subverts our expectations. To be sure, both men are die-hard aficionados of violent, lewd, take-no-prisoners underground cinema. Yet only one of them could be said to truly, honestly qualify as an exploitation filmmaker, i.e. the sort of guy who could churn out sinfully enjoyable, unapologetically bad, no-nonsense schlock. Can you guess which one? Here's a hint: Jack Hill never won an Oscar.
With Grindhouse, Tarantino and Rodriguez have unleashed their most ambitious tag-team effort to date, a ferocious tribute to the down-and-dirty pictures of their formative years. It's an old-fashioned double feature, two movies for the price of one, with each writer-director contributing a full-length picture to the bill. Aiming to recreate the milieu of the "grind house" experience—beat-up prints of low-budget obscurities, playing at run-down movie palaces in the 70s and early 80s—the dynamic duo load their nearly three-hour throwback with nifty traces of authenticity. They scratch up the prints, write missing reels into the films, stick phony teasers for made-up movies in between the two features. Call it a stunt if you like, but it's a stunt that the filmmakers staunchly commit to. Directed by the splat pack rookies of modern horror, the faux-trailers are both hysterically funny and completely spot-on—these three-minute blasts of giddy genre parody are easily the best things that Rob Zombie and Eli Roth have ever done. And yet they're just the icing on the cake, mere appetizers to a greasy, high-calorie, two-course meal. An obscenely enjoyable act of Meta homage, Grindhouse should appeal to any true fan of trash cinema, yet it's fundamentally lopsided and diametrically uneven. Case in point: strip away the retro-camp trimmings, and only one of these flicks actually delivers the goods. It might not be the one you think.
First on the bill is Planet Terror, Rodriguez's rip-roaring valentine to Reagan-era action/horror/sci-fi mash-ups. Relentlessly gory and hilariously extreme, it's the sort of no-holds-barred midnight movie that only an obsessive, dyed-in-the-wool fanboy like Rodriguez could pull off. The largely nonsensical plot concerns a small Texas town overrun by gooey, flesh-eating zombies—like last year's Slither, it's a veritable remake of Night of the Creeps, except this one doesn't just rip-off the content of its seminal predecessor, it mimics the look, sound, and very feel of it. Ignore the spectacular CGI effects and the tossed-off references to Osama bin Laden, and you might be watching a lost genre specimen of the early 80s. Rodriguez doesn't dance around his influences, he openly exploits them: the lumbering ghouls suggest the best work of George Romero, while the terrific rock-and-synth score draws favorable comparisons to both John Carpenter and Terminator-era James Cameron.
Unquestionably, this is Rodriguez's finest hour, a propulsive and effortlessly entertaining bit of B movie mayhem. The writer-director keeps throwing new absurdities our way, piling on kinetic thrills and elaborate grotesqueries with the maniacal zeal of a red-blooded huckster—he's like the P.T. Barnum of splatter epics. The casting is inventive and inspired, with B+ stars of today brushing shoulders with B- character-actors of yesterday. Really, is there anything cooler than Rose McGowan as a saucy go-go dancer with a machine-gun for a leg? How about Aliens/Terminator star Michael Biehn as a grizzled sheriff, or make-up maestro Tom Savini as his destined-to-be-eviscerated deputy? Not even Tarantino, overacting wildly in a misguided cameo, can spoil the good times vibe.
Planet Terror is just a touch too long, but it never stops kicking out the jams—it more or less gives us exactly what we came to see, exactly what we want from it. It was made for us. It takes all but three seconds to realize who Death Proof was made for. The first shot of the film is of a woman's foot, propped up on the dashboard of a car, and we're immediately back in Tarantino Land, that funky celluloid kingdom that exists entirely in the writer-director's movie-addled brain. It's not just QT's foot fetish that gets a workout here: all of the man's obsessions and indulgences are on full display. Jive talking soul sisters spouting vague girl-power epithets? Check. Too-cool-for-school pop-culture references? Check. "Naturalistic" banter that goes on for minutes on end, hi-jacking one scene after scene? That's a big check there. There's no denying Tarantino's exceptional gift for gab, his elegant and electrifying way with words. However, as with his last film—the comedown that was Kill Bill: Volume 2—it's the filmmaker's preference for showy, elaborate dialogue over real action that casts his B movie aspirations under serious doubt.
Death Proof is meant to be a rough-and-ready nostalgia trip, a slasher movie that morphs into a drag-racing picture, only to bottom-out as a woman's revenge flick. Trouble is, other than its grainy, 70s-inspired aesthetic, there's very little in the film to suggest we're watching anything other than one of QT's usual Molotov cocktails—it's just another cinematic mix-tape, with no real allegiance to any specific genre or tone. There are brief moments of arresting tribute—the first appearance of the villain's car eerily mirrors Laurie's first glimpse of Michael Myers in the original Halloween—but Tarantino lacks the focus to keep it together, the single-minded commitment to serving up skuzzy thrills. He's too in love with his characters, with the rhythmic zing of his own overwritten dialogue.
To be fair, there are at least two spectacular set pieces in Death Proof. One's a sickeningly brutal car crash, repeated four times in succession; the other's a wicked chase sequence, a fast and furious bit of automobile bravado, done entirely without digital assistance. And Tarantino's eye for pitch-perfect casting remains intact: as a psychotic stunt-driver stalking a group of nubile young women, Kurt Russell delivers his best performance in years—a charming and menacing turn, and a salute to every badass he ever played in the Escape From New York days. But these are the fringe benefits of getting on this ride. For the most part, Death Proof fails to excite, and that's because Tarantino, for all his love of lowbrow cinema, isn't really that kind of filmmaker. He's too enamored with wink-wink, buzz-kill irony, too cerebral in his approach to disreputable genre fare. He's all talk and no action—an arty film geek who'd rather show off his knowledge of grind house movies than make one of his own. He is, in short, too good to make bad movies. Rodriguez, on the other, may never make a masterpiece like Pulp Fiction, but he could spend the rest of his life spitting out first-rate trash art like Planet Terror. Really, it's like comparing Martin Scorsese to John Carpenter: we have our fair share of Scorseses—it's the Carpenters that we need more of.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: "Actor of Our Generation"?
That hyperbolic claim was recently made by my close friend and fellow Film Monthly contributor Josh Staman. I'd argue that the jury is still out on that one, but there's no denying Levitt's burgeoning talent. In just the last few years, the former television actor (best remembered as the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun)has delivered several exceptional performances, most notably in Manic, Brick, and Mysterious Skin.
Add now to that list The Lookout, screenwriter Scott Frank's auspicious directorial debut. It's a sparse, engaging thriller about a young man with brain damage who gets mixed up in a bank heist. The first half deals almost exclusively with the character's condition, his day-to-day struggle to overcome the debilitating side-effects of his head injury. These are the film's best moments; I found myself resenting the action movie plot machinations of the last act. Still, Levitt is dependably terrific as the handicapped hero, as is co-star Jeff Daniels, still grooving on a mid-career renaissance. Minor flaws throughout, but certainly worth seeing.
Next up for "The Actor Of Our Generation"? Killshot, an Elmore Leonard adaptation in which he plays (for the first time, by my estimation) a villain. That is, if the film ever comes out...

Do you ever wonder how certain meals make it onto school lunch menus? Students are now getting a chance to decide what goes on their school menu.
The Roosevelt School District is allowing students to take part in a taste test to try out new foods for their menu. School nutrition leaders say the new food choices have fewer calories, less sodium, less fat, and more fresh fruits and vegetables.
"We thought here at Roosevelt it would be a great opportunity to share with the community, our children and their parents, some of the new foods we are using this year," said Jim Hemmen, Roosevelt School District nutritionist.
Students will now decide what they want to eat as part of their school lunch programs.
"We listen very carefully to what our customers say, if they're not eating our food that's a big problem and in today's world where we have a hunger issue with our children in our neighborhoods, all throughout our community, we need to really listen," Hemmen said.
"They try it, they fill out the slip, they circle a smiley face. If they don't like it, they circle the frown."
Once students choose their meals --- the school district makes sure the lunches meet USDA nutritional guidelines before putting them on the menu. The district is also partnering with the Arizona Department of Education.
Parents got to participate in the taste-testing too.

Alex Tong ′11
Hometown: Dallas, TX
Major: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
There's always time for a little more: In addition to his studies, serving as first violin and concertmaster for the Rhodes Orchestra and as a student researcher at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Alex also explores his Chinese ancestry as the co-president of the student-run group All Students Interested In Asia (A.S.I.A.)
Why did you choose Biochemistry & Molecular Biology as your major?
Originally, I was a Biology major on the pre-med track. But during my freshman year, I audited an introductory course in organic chemistry and that changed everything. I got to know the professor and ended up spending hours in her lab conducting research in organic synthesis, falling in love with chemicals in the process. As a result of that experience, I considered switching to Chemistry, but my passion for Biology still lingered in the background. In the summer after my freshman year, I became involved in the St. Jude Summer Plus Program and that's where it all started to come together. Through my research in the Chemical Biology and Therapeutics departments, I realized that I didn't have to choose either Biology or Chemistry – with the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology program, I could do both.
How did you first become involved with St. Jude?
I applied for the Summer Plus Program during my freshman year, and what a nerve-wracking process it was! The year I applied was the first time the program began admitting first-years, which made me all the more humbled and excited when I was selected. The kind of research that goes on at St. Jude is just tremendous, so having the opportunity to be a part of that at the undergraduate level is something that will certainly serve me well in graduate school and beyond.
Has your experience at St. Jude shaped your studies in any way?
Absolutely! Beginning last semester, I began tailoring my course selections to gain a better insight into the mechanics behind the experiments I was conducting. Thanks to St. Jude, I better understood how to perform certain experiments, but I wanted to know why a given compound or reagent reacted the way it did. I took Dr. Terry Hill's Cell Biology course which helped me understand what, precisely, was happening in my experiments and why I got the results I did. Having that knowledge only makes me all the more excited about doing more research in the future.
Where to from here?
Right now, my plan is to pursue a M.D./Ph.D. degree. I want to interact with patients on a day-to-day basis, but I also realized through my St. Jude experience that it's the researchers who put the tools into the hands of the doctor. If there's no one making advancements in the field of research, then the doctors won't be able to best treat the patients. Just as I combined my passions for Chemistry and Biology in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program, I hope to intertwine my interests in research and medicine with an M.D./Ph.D. degree.
You're also involved with the Rhodes Orchestra. What has that experience been like?
I became involved with the Rhodes Orchestra about the same time that I signed on to St. Jude, but I've been playing the violin since I was about 4. At first, it started out as a way for my parents to keep me busy by channeling all my childish energy into something productive, but now it's something that I am truly passionate about. I joined the Rhodes Orchestra to meet new people and to just have fun, but I never dreamed I would become first violin and concertmaster!
Last year, you won first place in the Gladys Cauthen Soloist Competition. What was that like?
During my sophomore year, I started working on the Bruch Violin Concerto in G minor, but I realized that in order to improve, I needed feedback from practicing professionals. The judges for the soloist competition included one of the first violinists from the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, the director of Opera Memphis and one of the band directors from the University of Memphis, so I decided to sign up to hear what they had to say about my work. Going into the competition, I was mainly looking for constructive criticism; I didn't anticipate that I would earn first place.
Science and music. That's an interesting combination …
Actually, when it really comes down to it, a lot of the skills cultivated in music can be translated into science. When you're working on a concerto, there's just no way you'll get it right the first time. It takes weeks and weeks of practice to get the piece up to par. Likewise, in science, very rarely does an experiment go according to plan the first time. It takes one, two, sometimes 10 tries to produce the desired final product or to get to the bottom of what's really going on. But no matter, what's most important is simply to stick with it. Dedication and perseverance – that's what it's all about.

Dear Alex: I am a friend of your father′s and met you once a very long time ago in Dallas when I had the good fortune to be a guest of your parents at a piano concert. I knew then that the Tong children were very special. And, that two very great parents had mentored future leaders that would do great and notable things. I look forward to keeping up with your accomplishments. Congratulations!!

Blow jobs in a movie theater ?
I want to do it but how would that work and if he wanted to go down on me how would that work out like the positioning and everything . tell me everything I need to now please!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Well, I've never had a girl give me a bj in a movie theatre, but I'd highly suggest doing it in a nearly deserted theatre so you don't get kicked out. Try to sit at the back and make sure it is fairly dark. As far as positioning goes I assume one would lean over for both a bj and cunnilingus. It would look far more suspicious at a glance if you were on your knees. At least if your leaning over, someone will probably think you dropped something and won't give a second glance.
What Guys Said 3
do it in a dark part of a theater and do it in a m or rated movie where there is less security and people
I brought this up to a friend recently stating that it didn't matter what movie we would see, she would be the one watching the screen. She replied with eww because the ground is all sticky. Well, she doesn't care to receive oral anyway.
Do it in the back corner. Be weary. Consider the laws about indecent exposure. The same thing happened to Pee Wee Herman.
Pee wee didn't get a bj, he was buttering his own popcorn. He was shaking it more than a monkey in a mango tree.
He had his weiner out. He got caught with indecent exposure. The same thing would happen if the guy she's with, giving a bj to, gets caught. He'll get slapped with a indecent exposure charge. Just like Pee Wee.
Maaan, peple always be stealin my answers! :)

That would be really annoying to the other people who actually want to watch the film.
I don't know if I would chance it in the digital age. Everyone around you will have cameras on their cellphones, and strangers taking your picture while you are in a compromising position would be far from the worst thing that could happen. Worst case scenario is that you could possibly get arrested for lewd conduct and public exposure. Remember what happened to poor Pee-Wee Herman? I would stick to a hand job.
why don't you just suggest to go back to his place? I'm sure he'll have no problems with that. good luck and have fun!
please don't sit in the center back, you'll get some guy up there in the overhead projection room watching you.side seat!it would be much harder for him to give you oral maybe stick to fingering.for you just lean over the arm of the chair that's the best position in the theater.don't do it in a jumpy movie. lol the last thing you need is you or him jumping
i ve given a guy a bj in the theater b4 I always take 2seats because I like leaning on him but if there ain't a lot of people around us I just pull my sweater up a little higher and lay down on his lap its worked for me about 3or 4times good luck
