They're sticking to realism as much as possible. Fantastic elements are still there but a lot of it that been trimmed back to make it feel as though this actually happened."

Judging from Cole Swindell' s first two singles, "Chillin' It" and "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight," you might assume he only writes about partying with the ladies. Cole encourages fans to discover the other side of his writing style on his self-titled debut album.
"I'm a real dude that's just living life like they are," Cole tells Billboard . "I hope that's what [people] get when they hear the album. I've been through the heartbreak stuff. I love to write songs that hit ya too, not just songs that make you feel good."
Cole writes about both the good and bad times in life, thanks to some advice he got from his friend and mentor, Luke Bryan . Cole explains, "I once asked him [in an email], 'What do I have to do to write better songs?' He wrote back, 'Live.'"
Cole is on the road with Luke Bryan all year long. Go to ColeSwindell.com for dates.

Good Questions: Source for Stokke?
Hi AT,
I've been drooling over the Stokke Variable chair, and I can find places to order it online, but I really want to sit on one in person before purchasing. Do you know of any stores in San Francisco that carry it?
Email questions & pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to: sf(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com
Link To All Good Questions
Dear Cat,
As far as we can tell, Stokke's action chairs are sold by only one retailer in the US, BackCare Basics, in Needham, Massachusetts. We've seen some web chatter of another place in New Mexico...but that's probably not very close to where you live. You may have to buy this chair on faith!
Speaking as a yoga teacher for a sec, the Variable does look like a great bet for your body. The design forces you to perch on your sitz bones, which will, over time, strengthen your core muscles and help create better alignment of your spine.
Does anyone know of a closer-to-home source for Cat?
3 Comments
It's not as nice a design, but same concept, and you could go to a Relax the Back store (which they have some in the bay area) to try it in person.
i have one and i swear by it. so much so i want a second. unfortunately backcare basics tells me stokke is no longer shipping them to the u.s. would love to hear if you know of another source... thanks!
Great News! Backcare Basics is now taking orders for the Stokke Balans Variable chair. Stokke was purchased by a new company and is now known as Varier Furniture. Backcare Basics, www.backcarebasics.com is presently the only US retailer to be importing the line. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
The Variable is excellent for meditation and strengthing your core. It can also be used for working at a desk, sitting at your kitchen table, etc.

Performance-Proven For Family Farmers
When you buy a bag of Golden Acres Genetics seed, rest assured that it was developed for you, the family farmer. Other seed companies treat the South and the High Plains like a couple of "niche markets" and will sell you their "local hybrids" which are really developed and tested in Iowa or Illinois. Everyone at Golden Acres, from the president down, spends time walking the fields, examining plots to find the best performing hybrids. We spend 100% of our time in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, & Virginia, developing the best genetics for local soils.

In Bruges
Ray (Farrell) and Ken (Gleeson), two foul-mouthed Irish hitmen, lie low in the medieval Belgian town of Bruges to evade the police after a botched job back home. While awaiting instructions from their furious boss Harry (Fiennes), Ken braces himself for the worst...
Browse more images »
In Bruges is not for everyone. Like its characters, it's unruly, foul-mouthed and has a weird sense of humour and no concept of good behaviour. But even if those caveats whet your appetite, there's another hurdle to overcome: the dread phrase "British gangster movie". In America, Martin McDonagh's genre-stretching film already made a cautious bow at the box office, alienating some higher-brow critics who sniffed at its wayward and irresponsible tone but finding a surprising amount of support from grassroots cinemagoers, despite a very limited release.
It's a strange film. Going into it, there are all kinds of questions you might be asking yourself - isn't this just Sexy Beast meets Pulp Fiction? Isn't Brendan Gleeson a bit above this kind of thing? What is Colin Farrell famous for anyway? - but, coming out, all that remains are the positives. In fact, one online review - posted on Metacritic.com by user "Kristina" - accidentally nails its perverse charm while trying to slam it. "Bad acting, unlikeable and underdeveloped characters, bizarre and stupid situations, too much blood, ridiculous ending," she raged. But it wasn't all bad news. "My husband and I were both disappointed in this movie," she concluded, "but the one good thing about it was that we learned something about Bruges and would like to visit there someday."
This barbed compliment would no doubt amuse writer-director McDonagh, and, more to the point, sounds like something one of his characters might say. Once you've seen the film (and you must, even if just to disagree with this very, very positive review) hopefully it'll amuse you too, thinking of the individual who fidgeted and tutted through 100 minutes of swearing, violence and profane epistemology - not to mention rampant class-A drug and dwarf abuse - and after all that still fancied a nice city break. It's fittingly bathetic too, because, though it superficially takes place in the same cartoon underworld as Lock, Stock and its offspring, In Bruges has more in common with a Mike Leigh film than any of Guy Ritchie's.
Part of the reason for this is that McDonagh's background, like Leigh's, is in theatre, which explains both In Bruges' weakness and strengths. Like a good stage play, McDonagh's film explores character through dialogue as well as action, and though this makes it somewhat static - even taking into consideration its frenzied, blood-spattered showdown - In Bruges is able to sneak in some heavyweight questions under the radar.
Though it speaks of contract-killing and cocaine-dealing, scoring and whoring, this surprisingly thoughtful film leaves plenty of ideas to be mulled over later, particularly those involving notions of audience identification. In Bruges is a film no Hollywood studio would ever make; it's a film in which not one single foregrounded character - even the duplicitous love interest (the otherwise adorable Poésy) - is worthy of our sympathy, but by its enigmatic ending it has us, if not cheering them on, then definitely accepting them, and maybe even feeling genuine, if misplaced, affection for them.
The key line arrives a little way into the movie. Ray and Ken have arrived in Bruges and, while Ken is enjoying the majesty of the local architecture, Ray is behaving like a petulant teen. "If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me," he sulks. "But I didn't, so it doesn't." Though funny, this kind of banter isn't exactly new in the general field of gangster movies, let alone the UK kind or its rarefied fish-out-of-water subgenre (see - or rather don't - the Brighton-set Circus). However, when Ray looks across the town's cobbled courtyard, where a camera crew is shooting, the film gets a much-needed jolt. Diverting from the smart-arse blueprint, Ray suddenly becomes a child again, his face melting with delight. "They're filming midgets!" he squeals.
Here, we enter the first of the film's carefully laid minefields. The politics of the vertically challenged are as complex as they've ever been, so without wishing to offend people of size, we'll stick with the film's terminology for now (although Ray is told that "midgets" prefer the word "dwarf"). Jimmy, the "little fella" being filmed - an incredibly game Jordan Prentice, whose early starring role in Howard The Duck (1986) suggests that he may actually be physically incapable of embarrassment - is a curveball thrown so elegantly by McDonagh that his fall from grace coincides smoothly with our growing fondness for Ray and Ken. During the film's hilarious lads'-night-out scene, it takes us a while to realise that Jimmy, even to those who saw Peter Dinklage's unsentimental performance in The Station Agent, isn't just some afflicted victim to be pitied, he's a flesh-and-blood guy like everyone else. And he's a total arse.
Of the central pair, at first we're drawn to the avuncular Ken rather than the goofy, irritating Ray. But once his terrible secret is revealed, Ray suddenly seems more vulnerable, perhaps even more romantic, than his thug shell suggests. It's partly in the writing, but more importantly it's in Colin Farrell's sad, scared eyes, in a performance that reminds us that he actually hasn't really had a chance to do much of this kind of thing over the past eight years or so. He's joined armies and led them, played US cops and robbers, but with the exception of 2003's Intermission he hasn't done a human comedy, let alone the black kind, and the results here suggest he ought to do quite a bit more.
But Farrell isn't carrying this engagingly digressive caper alone, and Gleeson makes the perfect foil, simultaneously despairing of, and caring for, his troubled, trigger-happy sidekick. While Farrell fits the stereotypical profile of the hip young gunslinger, Gleeson is the very antithesis, but just when you're getting used to this offbeat casting, McDonagh plays his trump card. If you haven't seen Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast, the payoff will be more effective, but even if you have, Ralph Fiennes' performance as grouchy crime boss Harry is still something to be savoured. With a Peter Cook drawl and dressed in Essex slacks and slip-ons, Harry is the true snake amid this already unsavoury ensemble, phoning Ken with his secret mission in Bruges while Ray is supposedly in the toilet ("Is he having a poo or a wee?" the oily Harry rather creepily asks).
With its three protagonists in place, In Bruges begins its frantic final act, which is where some of its artfully packed contents start to spill out, and the simple pleasures of its character studies give way to overexcited intrigue, tragedy and an inevitable climactic shoot-out. Still, this is a minor gripe about a film which takes a genre that shouldn't be allowed any more, never mind encouraged, and fashions something provocative and original in its thinking.
Despite some deliberate nods to medieval theosophy, and a coda that's more arthouse than grindhouse, In Bruges isn't exactly Samuel Beckett's Get Carter - let's face it, if Samuel Beckett had written Get Carter, Carter wouldn't have turned up, would he? But to fill that existential gap, both literally and figuratively, this savvy, punk-rock pistol opera will do very nicely indeed.
With In Bruges, the British gangster movie gets a Croydon facelift. It may not be new, but it's a wonderfully fresh take on a familiar genre: fucked-up, far-out and very, very funny.

Saw In Bruges last night and loved it! A total surprise because it got patchy reviews, so I considered it a 'have a punt' movie…and as a confirmed Farrel-phobe I wasn't expecting much. Farrel, though, was by far the best character, got all the best lines and made the film – and I NEVER thought I'd say that. It was described as Father Ted with guns earlier in this post, which I thought was pretty apt. The only thing I'd didn't like was the ending. It seemed too neat (ie: what ha... More

In Bruges is a very rude, foul-mouthed, film with deep emotion and a little bit of history.

Terrific little film. Gleeson's always good value but the real delights were seeing Farrell finally raise his game back up to "Tigerland" levels, and Fiennes actually having lots of fun in his role - he can be SO serious. I really liked how un-PC it is - not many films dare to show dead kids these days - and how the banter flew as quickly as the violence. And having visited Bruges several times, I can quite categorically state that it is anything but a shithole. ... More

Just seen this now, after being released an age ago, it seems. Very funny and surprisingly emotional, Farrell is on top form and Gleeson as Ken is an avuncular uncle figure/mentor/friend to Farrell's troubled Ray. The ending is surprisingly touching and pulls no punches about what it wants to say. The scene with the 'Americans' in the restaurant was particularly funny, or Ray dodging the obese American chasing him for calling him an elephant. 4/5. ... More

Mousse Recipes
Cardamom Chocolate Mousse topped with Meringue Cookies
This elegant chocolate dessert might seem complicated but it really wasn't. First I prepared a cardamom-flavored chocolate mousse. The mousse required very few ingredients: milk, whipping cream, butter, sugar and of course cardamom and chocolate (the stars of this sweet treat!). You'll notice no eggs were used in this step.
The second step is the meringue cookie topping. You can prepare the meringues way in advance and assemble the dessert at the last minute. The meringues provided a nice contrast of texture against the velvety chocolate mousse, as well a striking contrast of color.

Meyer Lemon and Blackberry Parfait Recipe
I spent last week in Southern California. It's become a routine that whenever I find time, I explore farmers' market in the places we visit. I had time to wander around and find new, intriguing ingredients and on this trip, I bought incredibly fragrant pure blackberry extract.
Once I came home, I had one idea in mind: experiment with the new blackberry extract. The result is this luscious creamy, lemony parfait dessert flavored with the oh-so-wonderfully fragrant fruit essence. For a nice contrast of texture, I used mini meringue cookies as the base and topped the miniature dessert cups with fresh blackberries.
Happy Valentine's Day!

No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe (Egg Free Dessert)
This dessert might look complicated, but trust me, it took me all of 20 minutes tops to assemble it. It's an egg-free, no-bake blueberry cheesecake. I still had a couple of jars of Meyer lemon marmalade from last season and I julienned the lemon rind to flavor the cheesecake and decorate it as well. The citrus provides a great balance of flavor.
This sort of cheesecake only requires a handful of ingredients, which includes quality lady finger cookies, mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, a hint of tangy crème fraîche, fresh blueberries, Meyer lemon marmalade (or whatever you have on hand) and a combination of lecithin, xanthan gum and a bit of oil. That's pretty much it.

Meyer Lemon Mousse in Wonton Cups
Don't be intimidated by the photo of today's dessert, because these little dessert cups are so easy to make! As long as you have lemon curd and wonton wrappers, the preparation will take no time.
I've made a lot of jars of Meyer lemon curd over the last few days and I used one of them to create this dessert. I folded in a bit of sweetened whipped cream so the mousse was light and airy and used it to fill the shaped and baked wonton cups. A topping of my citron confit and a dash of powdered sugar made the cutest garnish that also acted as a reminder of the flavors of this elegant dessert.
Full Recipe...
Blueberry Chocolate Mousse Recipe
When done properly, there are few things in life more sensual than chocolate. If your true love happens to love chocolate, you might want to consider it as part of a special romantic dinner this Valentine's Day.
This blueberry chocolate mousse would be perfect for someone who is not very confident in the kitchen. It's made of dark chocolate mousse flavored with fresh blueberries, encased in a cup made of blueberry-yogurt pretzels and topped with chocolate-covered blueberries and yogurt or ice cream.
You won't have to spend all day in the kitchen to prepare this dessert, but it will look like you did. Your sweetie will appreciate the gesture!

The Duke MBA questions vary a bit from last year's approach, and require applicants to answer all of the short and long answer questions. The word limit is tight for the short answers, which will require candidates to lay out a refined application strategy and be disciplined and focused in answering the questions.
To learn more about Team Fuqua, look at the Duke MBA website, student bloggers' sites, and always try to visit campus or attend admission information sessions to get a feel for the culture and the school.
Short Answer Essays – Answer all short answer essay questions.
What do you hope to gain from The Duke MBA? How does it fit into your short- and long- term goals? If you are interested in a joint degree or the Health Sector Management program, please address in this response.
This essay is focused on your career goals and how your Duke MBA will help you achieve them. While similar to other schools' career goals essay, this question begins with an inquiry about the Duke MBA program, suggesting that a successful essay will clearly highlight the benefit of a Duke MBA to your goals. The response needs to be limited to one page, requiring a focused articulation of your short- and long-term career goals. Be specific about your goals, and draw a logical thread from your past work experience to your Duke MBA to your plans for the future. Clearly articulating your goals and why they are important to you, whether to yourself or someone helping you, before you begin this essay will help you remain focused as you tackle the essay.
Learning as much as possible about the Duke MBA program and its specific benefit to your individual aspirations will be very important for this essay. Since you have less space to address the need for an MBA, focusing on Duke specifically with a few strategic items you have researched will allow you to address your career goals with enough depth to fit into the allotted word limit.
How will you contribute to the overall experience of your peers at The Duke MBA?
An opportunity to differentiate yourself from the applicant pool is presented in this question. At the same time, you want to demonstrate clearly how you fit with the Duke MBA program. Because this question is a broad inquiry, you can highlight specific community activity, interests, your unique culture or hobbies that will benefit your peers at the Duke MBA. At the same time you can use the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the culture and how you will benefit your fellow students. Providing specific examples of your personality and unique attributes will have the greatest impact.
Detailed research into the opportunities at Duke and the personality of the MBA program will be important for this question. Fit is incredibly important to Duke, and this question helps select the type of applicant who fits into the program and distinguish the candidates who may not.
Discuss a person, event or experience that has significantly shaped your life and explain why. Note: The goal of this essay is to get a sense of who you are, rather than what you have achieved professionally.
The clear invitation to be personal in this essay allows you to go in almost any direction with your response. This is a great opportunity to highlight a particular inflection point in your life and discuss why you are on the particular path you are. In some ways it is a brief version of the Stanford essay on the topic of what matters most to you, and similar to the Stanford essay it will be best to link the response to your overall application strategy.
Long Essay – Answer the long essay question below.
Today, companies must navigate through complex and interdependent issues. They must deal with health and security matters, environmental impact questions, and diversity and cultural concerns. Leaders need adaptability, imagination, and emotional intelligence as well as business acumen.
Upon graduation, a Duke MBA will be a leader of consequence – able to deal simultaneously with complex matters and engage skillfully with colleagues, clients, and community. What impact do you hope to have as a leader of consequence?
This question requires you demonstrate you are aware of the some of the complexities and nuances of business in the 21st century: health/security, the environment, and diversity/culture. You must also address some of the personal attributes listed: adaptability, imagination and emotional intelligence, along with the business acumen you likely already have demonstrated in other essays. One or two examples of a time when you have dealt with some of the issues highlighted in the context of work or community involvement will be helpful. When discussing the example, focus on your ability to innovate, build relationships and work effectively with others.
Linking the response to this question with the previous personal essay will help you demonstrate that your future goals and interests have more depth than just personal ambition – you are seeking to have an impact on the people and world around you.
Optional Essay (not required)
If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the admissions committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g. unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weakness in your application).
Optional essays are typically meant to address areas of weakness in your application. If your circumstances involve any of those listed in this question, you should take the opportunity to provide an explanation. Focus on describing the situation succinctly with little editorial comment, and explain why the situation is no longer an issue for you. If you are dealing with academic performance, highlight any bright spots in your transcript and demonstrate how your performance has improved through work examples, or in providing evidence through subsequent classes.
Reapplicant Essay
All reapplicants are also required to complete the Reapplicant Essay below. Please limit your response to two pages.
Write an essay describing how you are a stronger candidate for admission compared to the previous year's application.
Reapplicants must be able to make the case that this year was a significant step forward. If you have obvious improvements like a higher GMAT or a promotion, that will be excellent material for this essay. Even if you don't have anything quantifiable to discuss, taking the time to engage with the community, taking on new projects at work or otherwise developing yourself will be beneficial examples of your new, stronger application.

Short Essay 1: Why are you interested in The Duke MBA and how will it help you achieve your goals? Please also discuss your career path, including your short and long-term professional goals.
This question is similar to career goals/why MBA question for many schools. As with Stanford, Chicago, and UCLA, you must be specific about why Duke – which academic programs, classes, clubs, etc are related to your career goals. Because this essay is short, be efficient in your wording when discussing your path and future goals. However, it is worth it to spend some words on why your goals are meaningful to you.
Short Essay 2: How will your background, values, and non-work related activities enhance the experience of other Duke MBA students and add value to the diverse culture we strive for at Fuqua?
This is your opportunity to show them who you will be on their campus – how you will stand out from your classmates and impact their school. Get creative and show them your personality, unique aspects of your background (experiences from childhood or your culture), things you like to do outside of work (they do not have to be organized activities), and then explain how these things will play out on their campus. You can suggest clubs you'll be a part of (or start) or just what you are like as a friend. Show them who you are and what that means for your future classmates. Try to be as specific as possible.
Long Essay 1: Please respond fully and concisely to one of the following essay topics. Clearly identify which question you have selected.
a. To be a good team player, one needs to be an effective individual leader and vice-versa. Describe an example of where you were challenged to become a leader in a team-oriented context. What was the challenge you faced, how did you address it, and what did you take away from the experience for your future development as a leader?
There are a few specifics in this question to note – they want an example from when you were leading a team and a challenge. Set up the experience quickly and focus your actions and reflection. Spell out what you did to address the challenge, but be sure to dedicate a lot of space for your reflection on lessons learned and how you have applied those lessons and what more you have to work on.
b. Describe a situation in which your ability to perform ethically was challenged. What was the issue, how did you handle it, and what did you learn from it?
In describing the situation, try not to disparage any other people. This essay is a good opportunity to demonstrate your values, just be sure to focus on yourself without making assumptions about other people involved. State what was challenging for you. Spend the majority of your words on your actions in handling the situation and, of course, your reflection and how you've applied lessons learned.
c. Describe a significant leadership failure in your life. What did you learn from this failure? How has it impacted who you are today and the kind of leader you would like to be?
This is a wonderful opportunity to show self-awareness. Again, be brief in describing the incident. Focus on the positive by giving thoughtful reflection and a description of how you've changed since then. Revealing weaknesses and how you've overcome them shows maturity. Show them your theory on leadership and the kind of leader you intend to be in the future.
Long Essay 2: How has your personal history and family background influenced your intellectual and personal development? What unique personal qualities or life experiences distinguish you from other applicants? Note: The goal of this essay is to get a sense of who you are, rather than what you have achieved professionally.
Follow the instructions to focus on who you are instead of what you have done professionally. In discussing your family and background, you can tell stories about your childhood, cultural experiences, travel, etc. Don't be afraid to get personal and emotional about the important people and events in your life and how they have shaped you. However, you don't have enough space to tell your whole life story. So try to think back to what's important and find themes that you can cleanly present with vivid examples.

If you don't agree, speak up, I love a good debate.
My Second Tumblr (humor themed): http://yeahisawiton.tumblr.com/
This is a first sketch draft of the tattoo I want to get.
It's the bottom of a turritopsis nutricula but the edges of umbrella (it's body) is an ouroboros. The ouroboros has the words 'good enough isn't', I'm thinking about changing it to 'good enough is never'..
Both symbols represent self improvement and never being content with mediocrity.
I almost definitely want it on my right arm but I'm not sure if I want it flat on my shoulder or wrapping around my triceps…..

Movie News
"Scully..." "Mulder..." A New TV Spot for THE X FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE Hits the Tubes!
Beaks here...
Every time we get a new trailer or commercial for Chris Carter's new X-FILES movie, I have to pinch myself until blood pools around my fingernails just because I'm into the rough stuff. Then I get excited by the fact that there's new X-FILES on the way! If this is possible, then ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT: THE BLUTHS is possible... FREAKS & GEEKS: LINDSAY WEIR IS A DEADHEAD is possible... QUINCY IN HAITI is possible... everything I loved that went away too soon can be revived! It's like I'm Jeff Zucker: Re-Animator!
What's especially cool about THE X FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE is that, according to Carter and co-writer Frank Spotnitz, it's going to play like a standalone episode (which I always liked better than the mythology episodes anyway). The boys have been making the rounds over the last few months, and they seem pretty pleased with the film. Though the geeks have been a little preoccupied with THE DARK KNIGHT this summer, once it's out of the way, I fully expect that a lot of us will quickly divert our attention to Mulder and Scully. I'm so happy this movie exists. Please don't hurt my soul like Eddie Murphy.

who cares
by darthnoodle
x-files was always incredibly boring, convoluted, and hammy. i was glad when it jumped the shark. i saw the movie and i was glad it sucked so bad they didn't turn it into a franchise. i will be glad when this movie bombs and goes away. only the diehards are going to see this, and frankly, the world would be better if a black hole opened in every theatre opening night and sucked all the fans into a space time continuum where all the x-files questions were answered and the resounding response was "lame".

by Nasty In The Pasty
...but earlier trailers showed that Amanda Peet's FBI character has brought Mulder back into the fold to help crack this new "spooky" case, and he drags Scully along with him ("I'm done with chasing monsters in the dark"). And yeah, that sounds like Mitch "Skinner" Pileggi at the end. Hope he shows up, as it appeared he was going to get iced by "Supah Soljahs" in the last ep. And where the hell are Doggett and Reyes?

Robert Patrick deserves props. Season nine had a *few* decent eps ("Daemonicus", "4D", "Aubrey Pauley"), but overall it should have ended with M&S kissing over baby William at the end of eight, although the reappearance of CSM at the end of the final episode was pretty awesome...

The mythology was good for 5 years

Stand-alones Blow
by Ky-El
Why does every critic keep saying they liked stand-alones better? You want stand-alones watch CSI or any medical/law show on crap TV. We've waited years to get some closure from the extremely open ended, not at all conclusive finale and they give us a stand-alone movie? Call me bored. Mythology episodes of any show are always better that stand-alone (*cough*)filler (*cough*) episodes.

Thanks for telling it. I liked the X files. This will be cool. Better than that Sex in the City bilirubin. Why the hell did they make a movie out of that gaseous and unrelatable drivel? Except SJP..She is worthy of receiving my blessing. If ya' know what I mean.

But it does look a little underwelming. And the line "everyone's giving up, but i'm not.' is more than clished for Mulder. However, i was a big fan of the series and enjoyed the last movie, so my fingers are crossed for it. And yes, Mr Beaks, the less hype the better.

All the trailers have been pretty underwhelming...hopefully its just because they want to keep the plot as secret as possible. TDK is going to shit all over this movie though. Still , I loved the X-Files and will be there on opening night.

Stand Alones were filler?
by Bouncy X
i know it seems like the myhology was all encompassing (man i probably mispelled that) but in reality there were maybe 6 or 7 episodes (if that) a season dedicated to the mythology. dont get me wrong, i've always preferred the mythology too but to call stand alones filler is a little extreme considering they made it easily 80-90% of the series.

Looks promising...
by Jonah Echo
If this movie is even half as good as it needs to be, it might end up being a surprise smaller hit on the heels of Dark Knight. Honestly, even big amazing movies seem to only have one BIG weekend these days, especially in a summer where big tentpole flicks are coming out, 2 at a time on any given weekend. So, there might be space in the wake of Dark Knight for X-Files. It probably doesnt need to make a ton of money either to break even, and if it gets good reviews coupled with a decent box office, and the eventual good dvd sales(even if it isnt great)I can totally see them making another. I think the reason you are seeing this so late after the original series is because they are testing the water for me. I just hope it's a good story. The real bit of concern is that you have 3 really geekly, potentially awesome properties coming out within 3 weeks of each other, and all of them need to be successful for any future installments. Though I hate to admit it, I fear more for Hellboy 2's safety than either TDK or XF2. And yes, I think HB2 will be brilliant as a movie, but that doesn't always equate at the box office. <p> As for the guy talking about "from the creators of XFiles" being like "the makers of X1 and X2", that has already happened this summer, when The Mummy 3 trailers announced with astonishment and pride "from the producers of the mummy and the mummy returns."

While Craig seems like a nice enough guy, and has that typical Scotish humor I don't think it works well with a late night show. I think Billy Connely would be funnier.

The MOTW episodes were "filler"?
by Nasty In The Pasty
The "conspiracy" episodes only totalled about 60 episodes out of TWO-HUNDRED. If anything, the conspiracy shit was just to keep people watching during sweeps periods. I'll take "Home", "Humbug", "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "Squeeze/Tooms" over all of that black oil shit. They spent two hours tryong to explain the mythology in the final ep, and it was STILL incoherent (the Syndicate guys are dead, right? So, WHO'S RUNNING THE SUPAH SOLJAH PROGRAM?!). I'm THRILLED that the new movie will be a good, creepy one-off story. If it's successful enough to spawn another movie, THEN they can get bacl to the conspiracy shit, but for now, just gimme Mulder & Scully creeping around with flashlights, and I'll be happy.

Can't say I'm looking forward to this
by bravogolfhotel
I was a tremendous fan during my teen years, but I find the series has not aged at all well; the direction and cinematography were of a very high standard for TV of the time, sure, but the stories are generally pat and unsatisfying. There's only so many times you can get away with the bold downbeat ending where the monster gets away or the conspiracy can't be proven before it ceases to be bold. Also, received wisdom is that the standalone episodes were the better ones, but with notable exceptions, it was pretty much the same tropes over and over again: Scientists Find Something Nasty, Serial Killer With Special Abilities, Small Town With Hideous Secret... Anyway, considering the way the show went out in a blaze of apathy six years ago, I'm a little surprised that anyone is looking forward to this (let alone Beaks, whom I depend upon to have higher standards than I do).

For those on about Season 9 - one episode there probably ranks as one of the best eps of all time - "John Doe." Too bad so few were interested at that point. Robert Patrick actually did a great job in a difficult situation; the fan base just didn't want to see Mulder go (but given how badly Duchovney phoned in seasons 7 and 8, I don't see why - Season 7 things were the X-Files comedy hour with genies, Will Sasso, the COPS spoof X-COPS, and William Gibson butchering his own genre in F.P.S.). My disdain for season seven and Duchovney's ego-tripping aside, I'll be there opening weekend.

The Super Soldier Program
by hank henshaw
The most contrived and ill-conceived chapter of the conspiracy was originally ran by the aliens. The, very stupid, plan was to abduct humans, return them dead and wait several months for them to come back to live as unstoppable killing machines (with one weakness, kryptoni... er, magnetite). It later seemed that it wasn't the aliens running the supersoldier program, but the supersoldiers themselves. Or the supersoldiers were aliens too, just not the gray shape-shifting aliens. I don't really know. I don't think the writers even know what was all that about, or cared. Harvesting humans and repopulation via black oil was a more straightforward plan, I think... stupid aliens.

If they just made a sequel to the first X-Files movie and ignored everything that came after it. Wouldn't that be great? You could have the Lone Gunmen, CSM, etc. again.
July 2, 2008, 10:39 p.m. CST
I hear you Fireproof, the Lone Gunmen are missed
by v3d
I always enjoyed the inclusion of the Lone Gunmen. In a way they were like fan surrogates. Geeks and nerds who never entered the field but knew everything (and more) about the X-files. The series was cancelled prematurely and many episodes were actually more entertaining then the final episodes of the X-files. I hope the Lone Gunmen characters get at least some small nod of recognition in this movie.
July 2, 2008, 11:01 p.m. CST
Yeah, killing off the Gunmen was downright MEAN
by Nasty In The Pasty
Just because a show is ending does NOT make it okay to just start killing off supporting characters willy-nilly! There's another reason seasons eight and nine didn't appeal to a lot of fans...no more cool villains! Krycek appears at the end of eight just to get gunned down, and CSM didn't reappear (after getting thrown down a flight of stairs at the end of season 7) until the very last ep (GREAT send-off, though). A conspiracy is only as good as the "face" that's put on it, and CSM was the Darth Vader of the X-Files. Kind of why the Star Wars prequels didn't match the OT...after Darth Maul was killed off at the end of Phantom Menace, you had NO CENTRAL VILLAIN. It was just a bunch of nebulous conspiracys that kids could NEVER follow.

too soon?
by TheBaxter
are you seriously saying that the x-files went away "too soon"? if anything, it didn't go away soon enough. it was a great show when it was great, but it lasted 2 or 3 seasons too long and blew the chance to wrap up its mythology in anything resembling a satisfying manner.

This project is so easy that even younger kids can join in the fun. Hang this cute little snowman on your tree this year!
Parental supervision is recommended.
Simplify this craft for smaller children by cutting the facial parts ahead of time.
Save fabric scraps, old t-shirt, and even boxer shorts for projects such as these.
Make several of these at once and allow children to give as gifts. Perfect for family, teachers, mail carrier, etc!
Cut a 4" wide strip from the white felt.
Cut a 4" x 3" square from the green felt.
Cut an 8" x 1" strip of fabric for the scarf.
Cut 7 small squares from the black felt to use for the eyes and mouth.
Cut a long triangle from the orange felt for the carrot nose.
Roll up the white felt strip, jellyroll style, and secure with white craft glue.
Lay the green felt rectangle on the table and along the 4" edge, fold up about ½" and glue in place. This will create the brim for your snowman's hat.
Fringe the opposite side of the 4" end of the green felt but cutting 1 ½" long slits.
Roll the green felt around one end of the white rolled felt. Trim in the back if needed and glue brim of hat to the "snowman".
Fold red chenille stem in half. About 1/3 of the way up the folded chenille, twist together to form a loop hanger, leaving some chenille at the bottom. Twist the remaining chenille around the green felt hat just below the fringe.
Tie the scrap of felt around the "neckline" of the snowman and add some glue to secure scarf in place.
Glue three miniature pom poms below the scarf as buttons.
Glue eyes, nose, and mouth to snowman's face.
Allow everything to dry completely before hanging.

PLAYERS: Yadier Molina
TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals
TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals
Yadier Molina went on the 15-day disabled list at the beginning of the month with a right knee sprain. He returned on August 15 and has shown no ill effects from his stay on the DL. Molina has started in nine of 11 games and is 15 for 39 since returning. Heis batting .366 in his last ten games and .335 overall, to lead the NL in batting average. The Brave's Chris Johnson is four points behind. He has ten home runs and 60 RBIs. An argument can certainly be made for Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks. He is batting .298 with 31 homers and 101 RBIs. Or perhaps Freddie Freeman with his .313 BA, 16 HRs and 85 RBIs. But the fact is, not only is Molina leading in average, he is leading his team to wins. The Cardinals went 6-7 while Molina was on the DL. They relinquished their lead in the NL Central to the Pittsburgh Pirates just before he went on the DL and are just now recovering. Molina is tops in baseball when it comes to leading a pitching staff and is one of the be...

I've had experiences with Guildies who decide to run dungeons and just 'troll' people for fun. It's disgusting.
I was in Shattered Halls once and had this Paladin Tank who was wearing everything from Cloth and Mail to Spirit Gear and an Agility sword! He was in with a dps guildie, and kept pulling massive groups then losing all aggro. Needing on everything he could even if it wasn't good for him and spent the entire time arguing with me, the healer and the other dps about idiotic things, like stats and claiming as a druid I should be wearing cloth because his main is a druid and he knows.
The next day I checked his character on the armory, he was fully clad in the appropriate gear and stats now and I realised he was just dicking with us the entire time.
I don't know what's more disgusting, players and guilds who act like this, or the fact Blizzard let's them and even punishes us when we try to name and shame these people!

Call of Juarez Shows how to get the Thief achievement. Basically, when Jones is crouched, you can move around freely. When he stands up, just hide in some cover like the bushes or behind other objects.

The second episode of Call of Juarez, which is my favourite episode because of the fistfight.

Just wanted to know everyone's thoughts on Propel Zero water, good or bad? I have a hard time drinking 8 glasses of water a day, I've never been a huge fan of water (I know, I'm strange). I've completely cut soda and juice out of my diet, and I drink a lot of lemon water, but recently discovered Propel Zero and wondered if that would be an ok drink to add to my "8 glasses" a day?

I don't know about drinking it for all 8 glasses but I use it for one or two every other day or so. I wasn't a big water drinker either but I slowly increased the pure water I was drinking and now I crave it. You also always add grapefruit, oranges, or brew tea. There are lots of different types of tea.

Reblog if you absolutely LOVED the City of Bones movie and don't care what the critics say.
I want to prove that those dumbass critics are DEAD. WRONG.
We are not Twilight.
We are not Harry Potter.
We are not The Hunger Games.
We are the Mortal Instruments. And our fandom kicks ass.

At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.Google+
