Filling the "crazy old lady" spot was Oscar-winning actress Cloris Leachman, who reminded many of her comedy cred.
Bob Saget: "I am not here to roast Bob Saget. I'm here to fuck John Stamos!" That's something you want to read under someone at Mount Rushmore, a very lovely and iconic thing.
Cloris Leachman (roaster): I didn't even know who Saget was. Or John Stamos. You get a call from your agent—they deal with it. I show up, walk in, and read. Period. It leveled the room. It leveled me too.
The next few roasts, skewering Larry the Cable Guy, Joan Rivers, and David Hasselhoff, featured the usual mix of celebs and roast stars, including Ross, DiPaolo, Giraldo, and up-and-comers like Whitney Cummings.
Doug Herzog: No matter who it is, there are a few things you know about that person, and that will inform every joke. With Hasselhoff it's Baywatch…hamburgers…
Gilbert Gottfried: The Hasselhoff roast was an extra treat, not only because I could do jokes about David Hasselhoff, but, since he's beloved in Germany, I could throw in a few Holocaust jokes.
The Hasselhoff roast saw the rise of Roastmaster Seth MacFarlane. Known at that point only for Family Guy, he would emerge as the quintessential master of ceremonies (before going on to host Saturday Night Live and the 2013 Academy Awards).
Doug Herzog: He brings that Dean Martin, Rat Pack, martini, tuxedo vibe. We like to think we were his stepping stone.
Doug Herzog: He brings that Dean Martin, Rat Pack, martini, tuxedo vibe. We like to think we were his stepping stone.
Jon Lovitz: That guy is one of the most talented people ever in Hollywood.
Jonas Larsen (senior VP of Comedy Central specials): As a matter of fact, we're not only gratified, we take full credit. When Seth got the Oscars gig, I sent his manager an e-mail that said, "You're welcome."
Shortly after the Hasselhoff roast, tragedy struck with the overdose of roast regular Greg Giraldo, who'd long fought addiction.
Lisa Lampanelli: I had my issues with Greg. It's documented that Greg had serious drug and alcohol problems.
Barry Katz (talent manager): Greg was in his own battle. For him it was weird. He was a guy who was so well-respected, but for some reason, career-wise, it just wasn't happening the way it should have.
Jeff Ross: Comedians are comedians. We're comedians before we're Jewish or Italian or Irish or black. We're comedians—that's our family, that's our religion. When you're working at the level that Greg was, a lot of people care about you. We don't get over it, but we get as close as we can by doing another roast.
Gilbert Gottfried: When I heard about Greg, I immediately tweeted "If Greg Giraldo is cremated, will that be the Greg Giraldo roast?" It seemed like a fitting tribute to a roaster. It was sad, but you had to make jokes about it anyway.
The roast of Donald Trump in 2011 saw a move back to New York City and the biggest bomb in the show's history, courtesy of Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino.
Donald Trump (roastee): They'd approached me a number of times—and eventually I said yes. I knew what I was getting into, but I also knew that we would raise a tremendous amount of money for charity. We raised a million dollars.
Lisa Lampanelli: When the Situation went up, I was sweating like Sandusky at a Cub Scout meeting. But he's so frickin' delusional, he comes up afterward and says, "That was pretty good, right?" I said to myself, "Dude, you got booed so loud [roaster] Marlee Matlin heard it, all right?"
Joel Gallen: He just was not funny. Didn't get how to deliver a joke.
Donald Trump: I thought he was terrific, frankly. He was so uncomfortable that it really became funny. But he took a tremendous amount of abuse.
Perhaps the greatest endorsement of the Roasts' reach and power arrived later that year, courtesy of the "Warlock From Mars" himself, Charlie Sheen, who turned to the dais to neutralize his unprecedented public meltdown.
Doug Herzog: Charlie Sheen was one of the guys we asked for years who said no, so that was like roast-Christmas.
Jon Lovitz: With Charlie it was kind of like, "Roast me because I really have acted up, and I have a sense of humor about myself."
Anthony Jeselnik: Sheen was a smart guy who knew how to play it. He handled the roast perfectly.
Jonas Larsen: Almost instantaneously, his scandal went away. Once he went out and took every hit based on the spectacular five months of entertainment that he provided, it went away. It became the perfect place for him to wipe the slate clean and get on with his career.
The highlight of Sheen's roast was Patrice O'Neal, who, with more people watching than ever before, went on the attack.
Joel Gallen: We put him near the end of the show and [after getting hit] he shifted his gears and started roasting the roast. When a comedian can do that in the moment, it's brilliant. Not everything that he said was hilarious. But it was really honest.
Amy Schumer (roaster): I was like, I'm going to bring it the hardest to him, and I'm going to say the meanest jokes I think of ("Tonight is not just the roast of Charlie Sheen; it's also a farewell party for Patrice's foot"). He was very, very proud of me and made me feel like I impressed him that night.
William Shatner: When we went out to the parking lot, I knew Patrice had diabetes, but I didn't know it was fatal. As we're waiting for the car, we start talking about life and death, and he starts to weep. And then I realized he knew how close he was to dying, and that last moment we were holding each other and crying.
O'Neal suffered a stroke a month later and passed away in November. With the loss of him and Giraldo, the roasts seemed to take a softer turn with the roast of Roseanne Barr in 2012, not necessarily for the better.

BEDFORD (WKZO) -- A Temperance man is in custody after his grandparents called police to say he was nakedly threatening them with an axe and sword. He was arrested at a Bedford Township home in the 9900-block of Summerfield Friday night.
Police had to take the man to a local hospital after banging his head on the squad car window until his face bled. The man's blood alcohol level was reportedly more than twice the legal limit.

The Water Cycle
Where does it come from?
Where does it go?
You can uncover the answers to these questions and lots more by participating in the following activities.
Where does water come from?
The water cycle is a natural process that occurs within the environment. Water circulates through the environment in different forms or states:
Liquid: water (as we see it from taps and in rivers etc.)
Solid: ice (icecaps, snow, hail, glaciers and in the freezer)
Gas: water vapour (invisible)
Click on the clouds below and play the water cycle game. This game was developed by South East Water.

TEAMS: Washington Nationals
Former dominant pitcher turned outfielder Rick Ankiel was released by the Washington Nationals midway through this past season after struggling heavily at the plate. This has prompted what once seemed highly unlikely: Rick Ankiel may return to pitching. Ankiel's story is quite interesting. Back in 2000, his first full season as a pitcher in St. Louis, he threw a 97 mile per hour fastball that catapulted him to the upper tier of pitchers in the National League. In that season, he recorded a 3.50 ERA and racked up 194 strikeouts. Then out of nowhere, Rick Ankiel turned into Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn, as his two post-season starts in 2000 were a blur of wild pitches and inconsistency. Something had gone terribly wrong, as Ankiel had lost all control over his pitching. After being injured in 2002 and 2003, Ankiel decided to make the drastic switch from pitcher to everyday player, and he actually became a pretty successful outfielder given the circumstances. He even drilled 25 home runs in 2008 as a member of the Cardinals. However, his days as an outfielder were a series of ups and downs, ultimately resulting in his release by the Nationals in 2012. Now, Rick Ankiel is looking to regain his form on the mound to break back into the big leagues. It's hard to conceive that he will be successful but hey, I'm rooting for him. What an amazing story it would be if Ankiel was able to make the transition from pitcher, to outfielder, and back to pitcher. It will be interesting to see what teams are willing to take a flyer on Ankiel should his return to pitching progress well. -Jim Racalto (Sports-Kings Co-Founder) The post Rick Ankiel may return to pitching appeared first on Reading Between The Seams.
Should pitcher Rick Ankiel and the Cardinals re-unite?
Is Rick Ankiel ready to start pitching again?
Does Rick Ankiel the pitcher owe St. Louis?

A long time coming...
This is one of those pieces I thought I'd never finish. Believe me, I've got plenty of these just hanging around waiting to be finished. I'm all over the place when I create, so for some reason pieces that last more than like say a week to finish I just drop and move onto the next one. Anyway, this particular piece came from an idea I sketched out. Rarely do I revisit a sketch and polish it in a finished piece, but here is an example of that. It also took 8 scanning passes to get all the parts of this one in. It's a larger than normal size for me, but was fun to work on nonetheless. Hope you like and I'm trying to keep on producing more work this year...I really need to.

When Jennifer M. Silva was a graduate student looking around for a dissertation topic, she began to notice a genre of self-help books targeted to people her age suffering from a "quarter-life crisis." The now-familiar premise was that privileged modern twentysomethings are overwhelmed with opportunities: Should they travel or marry, go back to school or settle down in a career? A first-generation college student herself, Silva had been tracing the country's growing income inequality in her sociology research at the University of Virginia, and it occurred to her that contemporary working-class adults were suffering from a very different kind of crisis: a complete absence of choices.
Silva, who is now at Harvard University on a postdoctoral fellowship, set out to talk with some of these young people about how they were managing the transition to adulthood in the post-industrial economy. In 100 in-depth, in-person interviews, she found a new working-class adult "bewildered in the labor market, betrayed by institutions, distrustful of love, disconnected from others, and committed to emotional growth."

It was really 'see me!!!!'.
Too bad some just stay like her. Jailbait, if she does.
(This is the second part of an ongoing series on federal "Common Core" education standards and the corruption of academic excellence.)
The Washington, D.C., board of education earned widespread mockery this week when it proposed allowing high school students -- in the nation's own capital -- to skip a basic U.S. government course to graduate. But this is fiddlesticks compared to what the federal government is doing to eliminate American children's core knowledge base in English, language arts and history.
Thanks to the "Common Core" regime, funded with President Obama's stimulus dollars and bolstered by duped Republican governors and business groups, deconstructionism...

MONDAY, Dec. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Most trauma patients
transferred between facilities in the state of Illinois don't make
it to their final destination within the two hours mandated by the
But the most severely injured patients
did make it within the time window, suggesting that
physicians are appropriately triaging patients, according to a
study in the December issue of the
Archives of Surgery.
"If you didn't get there within two hours, it really didn't make any difference in markers of severity," said study co-author Dr. Thomas J. Esposito, chief of the division of trauma, surgical critical care and burns in the department of surgery at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, Ill. "If left to their own devices, doctors may not need onerous advice on what to do."
"The [directive] is arbitrary and . . . probably doesn't matter in that the sickest people are being recognized and [transferred] more quickly," added Dr. Mark Gestring, medical director of the Strong Regional Trauma Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "The process is driven by how sick the patients are, and the truly sick patients are making the trip in enough time."
In fact, Esposito stated, there may be a downside to having such
a rule.
"It sets up a situation in that someone can say you were supposed to get my loved one or my client here in two hours and that didn't happen . . . I'm looking for some compensation because you were out of compliance," he said.
And it may even overwhelm trauma centers with patients that
don't really need to be there.
When patients are injured, they may not be near a hospital or
trauma center that can help them, so are treated initially either
at a local hospital, by emergency medical technicians or both.
"That [first] hospital can't finish the job, then the patient needs to move on after life-threatening conditions are dealt with," Esposito explained. After patients are stabilized, they can be moved to another facility which has, for example, a neurosurgeon to deal with that particular injury.
"Trauma centers provide certain kinds of care that are not available everywhere and to get the right patient to the trauma center is important, and keeping healthy people away is really important, too, because you don't want to overrun that particular resource and fly them from 50 or 100 miles away," Gestring said.
The authors reviewed information from the Illinois state trauma
registry, which includes data from 64 trauma centers in the state,
for the years 1999 through 2003.
They found 22,447 cases where patients had been transferred
between facilities; information on timing was available in just
over half of these.
Only 4,502 patients being transferred, or 20 percent, made it to
their final destination within the prescribed two hours, although
the median transfer time was really not that much higher: 2 hours
and 21 minutes.
Those who did make it within the two-hour window were the most
severely injured, indicating that trauma professionals were making
the right decisions when triaging patients. These patients were
also more likely to die, likely a reflection of how seriously they
were injured.
Transferring patients is actually a fairly complicated process,
with many variables playing into how fast the job gets done.
For instance, professionals have to decide how the transfer is
going to happen, via ambulance or helicopter.
"If it's an ambulance, you might have deserts and mountains to deal with," Gestring said. "If it snows, helicopters are not particularly helpful."
Needless to say, many of these factors just aren't under the
control of EMTs and doctors.
"I think the directive needs to be modified to something as generic as 'in an expeditious fashion' or 'in an appropriate timely fashion,'" Esposito said. "You've got to give the physician a little bit of credit to figure out who's sick or not sick."

(sorry for not explaining this earlier) but the power thing? its not whatever he sees dies, he has 24 hours to see somone, from the first time he sees them, till the moment the 24 hours are up. if he sees them ever again, after the time was up, that person dies. This is the first serious flash movie i've made. It is based on a book i am writing.

Rather Interesting.
That aounds like a book worth reading. Make a really good flash when the book comes out to get it to front page. I'd like to read it.

That was really good for your first movie, keep them coming!
actually its not my first but its my first seriouse movie...if you want, look at my other movies... ;D

but you know me, lovin it all!
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 27, 2005
That was interesting, nice idea you have there. I know it can't be immediately done, but your graphics need some work, the backgrounds were all gray shade, and it fits the noir feeling of the flash. But there can still be a bunch of other stuff in there, little details.
And all-around the characters should look more serious, some more design put into them and voila.
I like this, I would like to read the book when it's done also.
And I guess it's supposed to be Glympse, but if it's supposed to be Glimpse, you got a little typo in there.
The part which said "in a room" and the kid bouncing around the screen didn't quite fit in the feeling of the whole flash, but hey, no-ones perfect but me. ;)
Bottom line: 'Twas swell.
THANKS! ive never gotten such great socres!

Disenchanted Beginnings0 Reviews
Gerard tries to go over all the things that is bothering him about Mikey finding out that something is way up between them.
1. Kiss Mikey
2. Take Mikey to playground at high school
3. -------------- Kiss Mikey more.
Right there I stopped. There was nothing to do here. The more I thought, the harder it got. Suddenly it hit me that we should do something new. The thing I promised: Start a band. What sucked about it was I didn't know how to play guitar so that was a problem. I mean, I could be the lead singer. Mikey knew how to play bass so all we had to do was think about the rest. When I thought of this it soon was defeated because he was only coming down for a month. There still was 3 months to go.
It was horrifying to see how long things were going. Mikey started scaring me again. He always would reply back to my messages with an "Oh…: or "Hmmm…" or a simple "haha." I always thought everything was a joke or a lie to him. I wanted to keep our relationship alive by saying new things, but he wouldn't play along. He'd seem to not like me one bit anymore. He seemed creeped out and didn't give a shit about me anymore. I felt like the problem. It was like I was pushing him away more than trying to pull him in. This didn't feel like the real Mikey. It was a new Mikey that wanted to get rid of his past and start something new that I wasn't included in. I truly felt he didn't want me anymore; he didn't need me anymore.
He did say he loved me and missed me at times, but it never felt complete. I would have to say it first to work a response out of him. Like forcing him to say it. Maybe he did, but I never knew; he never showed it. The biggest problem between us I felt was that I thought about him differently than he thought of me. I thought of being with him all the time, kissing him, just seeing him was a bonus. He wouldn't agree because I was his past. Things I thought to be said were never said, just a simple two letter work or no response because he didn't know what to say. I was totally obsessed with him, but nothing was ever cared.
Nothing meant what I wanted them to mean to him. I felt I was on a whole different page than he was. I was far off from that page he was on. Something was wrong and something was totally off. But I always came back to the same solution; it was all my fault and I was always going to be the problem. Everything I said didn't bring a smile, it brought the same solutions. Again, I couldn't stop what I said because I was unconditionally and completely in love with him. He would never feel the same way so I continued trying to show that and change his mind; didn't work. I had a new fear added to the list where Bert was #1. My fear of Bert was #2, and now, #1, was that Mikey was going to break up with me.
I messaged him.
G: Hey! How you doing, babe?
M: Hiii! I'm doing alright. U?
G: That's good. Whatcha doin?
M: Nothing, just listening to music.
G: I can't wait until you come back.
M: I know, right? I'm excited too.
G: Damn, you're in a surprise for what I'm going to do to you. :D
M: Oh… Um.. Okay then.
He started doing it again. My head started thinking that he was getting creeped out.
G: I'm sorry if I creeped you out.
M: Oh. Nope.
G: What's going on Mikey? I feel like something's wrong.
M: No. Nothing's wrong.
I didn't want to upset him but I gave it my best shot.
G: Is something going on between us?
M: No… Not that I know of…
There's the dots. Something was going on for sure. It's just he was hesitating to say it.
G: I know, I'm the problem. Saying too much, saying it at the wrong times.
M: No… You're not the problem.
"Hey, I'm just stepping out for a little while. I got an appointment," my father said, standing in my doorway.
"Kay," I said, and he walked away out the front door, locking it.
Thank God, I'm alone.
G: You don't care about me anymore, do you?
After a few minutes, I worried and kept clicking the "check mail" button over and over every few seconds. I finally got a response.
M: I do. It's just getting hard. I've got a real lot on my mind.
I thought of a response.
G: I worry about you a lot, Mikey.
M: Why?
G: 'Cause I want you happy. I like when you are happy. I care about you. I love you.
M: I think you should stop worrying about me.
I had to read the message over I couldn't believe my eyes.
G: Why would I stop worrying about you? That's my job. We're in a relationship.
M: You just should.
G: Really, what's going on, Mikey? Please, tell me.
M: Everything.
G: What do you mean?
M: I can't take it anymore. I want to be with you but…
G: But what? Is this because of me?
M: No, it's not you. It's not ever you. I'm just thinking about things.
I think my day had come.
G: What things are you thinking? You're scaring me.
M: I think we should stop.
G: Stop what?
A few minutes I waited. This day I might die.
M: Us.
G: No, please. For real?
M: Yes.
I was waiting for a "no," but it just wasn't my lucky day. My eyes started filling with water. I wish I could see his reaction right now.
G: Ok… I want to cry. I'm sorry for everything.
M: I know. Don't say you're sorry. It's not you.
A lone tear fell down my cheek.
G: I thought we were going to be together for a long time.
M: I know. Me too.
G: Are we still going to talk and be friends?
M: Yeah.
The tears were coming full force as I tried holding them back. My breath was jagged and I felt the hiccups form.
G: I love you.
I waited for five minutes, no response. I waited for five more minutes thinking he would respond. He didn't. My thoughts were proven true: he didn't love me. I was now getting up from my chair, away from my computer and sat down in front of my bed on the floor. I pulled my knees to my chest and started crying hard. Tears were pouring out of my eyes. I cried for so long I now lay on the floor with my eyes closed, swollen and never wanting to open. I calmed down a bit, hiccups still coming out of my mouth. I still felt like crying because I never thought this day would come.
I now was broken up with Mikey.

The flavor in this recipe was good - a bit too sweet for my taste. However, although I followed the instructions exactly the beans never got soft and fully cooked. Also, even though the pressure cooker saved on total time, having to cook and drain the beans a few separate times actually made the "hands-on" time for this recipe longer than for traditional baked or stove top beans. I would not make this again.
Barbecue Beans
These saucy beans are ready in less than 40 minutes--a fraction of the time it takes to make traditional baked beans. If you'd like more of a smoky taste, use a mesquite-flavored barbecue sauce; if you prefer a milder flavor, use a regular tomato-based barbecue sauce. Check the beans for doneness after they've cooked for 6 minutes; if they're still a bit firm, simmer them (not under pressure) until tender.

Celebrity Interview
Emma and Rylan: "Whether its two people having a row or a baby being born, we dont care!
Dinah May to write about Michael Winner
Posted: Monday 28 Jan 2013
Actress DINAH MAY is planning to lift the lid on her long friendship with DEATH WISH director MICHAEL WINNER in a new book.
The moviemaker passed away on 21 January (13) after a battle with liver disease, and his longtime confidante May has now revealed he asked her to write a book about him after his death.
May tells the Daily Mail newspaper, "Michael always said, 'This will be your pension, Dinah. I want you to write everything you know about me after I'm dead. Don't hide anything. I'll be gone, so it's alright. Tell the truth and it will astonish everyone who thought they knew all about me.'"
May enjoyed a role in Winner's 1985 movie Death Wish 3 and also spent many years working as his personal assistant.

The Life Cycle of a Story
It's crazy to think back on the life cycle of this story. The summer of 2009…that means it took five years for me to get from the nugget of an idea about a guy and the weather to this piece that now lives on the Joyland Magazine website.
I wanted to document this as a reminder to my future self, for when I'm feeling bleak about my novels or whatever it is I'm working on. Everything starts as shit. Everything. There were so many times I believed the story was unsalvageable. So many times I thought I was giving up on it for good.
I was never certain I would be able to mold the piece into what it was meant to be. But somehow I did it. And now you can actually read the thing. Unreal.
One short story, five years. But in these five years I've learned so much. Who knows how long it'll take me to get one of my novels through that same cycle? But now that I can look back and clearly see the path that I took in order to finish that story, I don't care. The amount of time doesn't matter. There's a lot to reshape. A lot more growth to be had. I'm calm and I'm ready.
My virtual friend Emily (whom I met on MFA applicant message boards) on the life cycle of her story, which just got published at the awesome joylandmagazine.
