Cyberspace Film Festival Pioneers Simultaneous Internet / Direct-To-DVD Talent Showcase

Cyberspace Film Festival Pioneers Simultaneous Internet / Direct-To-DVD Talent Showcase
Lehigh Valley, PA (PRWEB) October 28, 2006
The Cyberspace Film Festival embraces forthcoming Hollywood film distribution trends by conducting a simultaneous Internet / direct-to-DVD showcase of emerging digital filmmaking talent.
Jessica Lynn Ferringer and E. Stephen Zeiner pioneer a new genre of film festival that offers unprecedented exposure and recognition to all participants.
Every short film that is submitted by the December 15, 2006 deadline will be viewable online by the general public. In addition, everyone who participates in the film festival will receive a DVD with the top 25 short films that were submitted as well as other bonus content.
Commenting on the unique format of the Cyberspace Film Festival, co-founder Jessica Lynn Ferringer states: "Some traditional film festival venues offer excellent in-person networking opportunities for aspiring filmmakers. However, the vast majority of traditional film festivals offer little in the way of recognition, feedback, or exposure for the countless thousands of filmmakers whose work is not selected for a festival screening. We wanted to offer an alternative to that."
The two got to work and the Cyberspace Film Festival website opened its virtual doors on October 25, 2006 and is accepting submissions through December 15, 2006.
The web address is: http://www.cyberspace-film-festival.com/
Creating short films is faster, cheaper, and easier than ever before. Thanks to advances in digital video technology, individuals can shoot, edit, and publish a short film faster than ever before.
With the speed and ease of creating short films has come a surge in submissions to traditional big screen film festivals. Only a fraction of the films submitted to traditional film festivals are ever seen by the general public.
The purpose of the Cyberspace Film Festival is to showcase all submissions via the Internet, and to appropriately recognize excellence by including the top 25 short films on the official festival DVD that is mailed to all who participate in the festival.
About Cyberspace Film Festival:
Founded in mid-2006 by Jessica Lynn Ferringer and E. Stephen Zeiner, the Cyberspace Film Festival attracts digital filmmakers from around the world to participate in a simultaneous Internet / direct-to-DVD showcase of emerging digital filmmaking talent. Ms. Ferringer is originally from Seoul, South Korea and Mr. Zeiner is originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The two met in New York City and founded the Cyberspace Film Festival soon thereafter.

Watched The Echo, another Yam Laranas film. Once again, the movie had a very creepy, dark atmosphere. It was really slow paced but built up to a nice climax at the end. Watchable movie but nowhere near as good as The Road.

'the Prince' dies is boring and drawn out. Oh yeah...and the dog frigging dies. There is nothing new here. Ok, maybe because it's a boy getting punished at the hands of a girl. But I have just seen my fill of 'CRAAAAAAAAAAZY family' horror pics and I could fart out a list of ten that are sooo much better than this. I really thought I had judged this too harshly when I originally watched it, but it turns out I was kind. Wafer thin plot stretched, and I do mean streeeeeeeeeettttttttccccccched to 80 + minutes. And all the horror 101 cliches you can eat. This movie kinda sucks. No Offense Diehard...we can disagree and still be friends.

The point of the policeman's daughter subplot was to show how Lola's actions affected more than just her victims. It's obvious that the daughter is distraught and has a lot of issues as a result of her brother ("the one who got away") disappearing. Also shows how the main character's night should have been - drugs, sex, etc. - but instead his geeky friend experienced that while he got the royal treatment from Lola and her father. Further, the daughter is basically the antithesis of Lola. She wears heavy goth makeup, does drugs, sleeps around, basically appears to be the bad girl. Lola wears no makeup, acts shy, and appears to be the innocent girl. Then we find out that goth girl has this self destructive behavior because of how distraught she is over losing her brother, while Lola is ****ed in the head and hurts others purposefully for the **** of it. So yea, the subplot definitely had more relevance than just screentime filler.
And I disagree about it being just another crazy family horror flick. I thought the kid who played Lola did a terrific job, and was definitely one of the most twisted psycho bitches of any movie I've seen. I thought the director did a great job of using a played-out storyline and making it into a twisted and adrenaline-pumping ride.
Anyway, just my opinion.
I'm generally not a fan of the mutant monster subgenre but Descent was a really fun movie. Never a dull moment in the film really. I really liked the ending too.
Watched the sequel not long after, thought it was entertaining as well but not as good. Plus the ending kind of sucked. I still say it's worth a watch if you liked the first one.
Ok, so The Lives of Others is a great ****ing movie.
Burrowers just had a good cast all around. It's nothing earthshattering but a western/indian mysticism/Tremors mash up is worth it just for the attempt.
I guess The Loved Ones is to you what Event Horizon is to me lol

A decade on from their self-titled 2002 debut and Portland, Christian rock quintet Kutless appear to have almost entirely abandoned the post-grunge sound which initially saw them compared to the likes of Creed, Staind, and 3 Doors Down. Produced by Grammy nominee Chris Stevens, David Garcia (Carrie Underwood), and worship leader Dave Lubben, their seventh album, Believer, instead continues their journey into soaring soft rock on 13 spiritual tracks which attempt to explore "what it really means to surrender to Christ." The driving new wave of "This Is Love," the string-soaked "Identity," and the anthemic worship rock of "Carry On" all temporarily fill the current Goo Goo Dolls-shaped hole on the AOR scene, but occasionally, their more radio-friendly approach borders on the clichéd, particularly on the inspirational "Hero," which could be mistaken for an American Idol winner's single, and the overwrought lighters-in-the-air balladry of the title track. Their occasional ventures into rougher and rawer territory may be no less derivative, but they at least allow frontman Jon Micah Sumrall to showcase his gritty, angsty vocals in full flow, whether it's the chant-led '80s-inspired dad rock of "If It Ends Today," or the explosive Foo Fighters-esque "Need." Believer is still as thought-provoking as you'd expect it to be, but fans of their early work may be disappointed that Kutless now seem content to embrace their elder statesman of contemporary Christian rock status. ~ Jon O'Brien

Red Sox outsider attempts to come up with a solution for the Sox, fails miserably
8/17/12 in MLB | Pat | 5233 respect
The problem is that Sherman's "solution" is pretty much the worst idea anyone has come up with since parachute pants.
Sherman's idea to help resurrect the Red Sox is to insert former catcher and team captain Jason Varitek into the manager's slot.
Some of his justifications behind this idea: The Yankees did it, with their former catcher Joe Girardi at the helm. Also, he says that Varitek brings credibility back to the job. Also, (somewhat) recent players Mike Matheny and Robin Ventura have had some success as first-time big-league managers.
Apparently Sherman conveniently forgot the fact that Ventura and Matheny had been out of the game for 5 and 7 years, respectively. There had been enough turnover that they weren't managing a roster filled with former teammates. Sure, there may have been a few, but nothing compared to what there would be in Boston, where Varitek was playing only 11 months ago.
Sherman must have also forgotten that before coming to the Yankees, Girardi did a hell of a job managing an undertalented roster in Florida. It's not like the Yankees handed him the job as a retirement present. Also, many Yankees fans would tell you that Girardi isn't exactly the best game manager in the world.
However, the real problem with Sherman's idea is that he seems to have forgotten that Varitek was part of the problem that still plagues the Red Sox to this day.
In September 2011, when the Red Sox started their downhill slide that has continued this year, Varitek was the team captain.
When Tito Francona completely lost control of the clubhouse, Varitek was the team captain.
Varitek was the guy who was supposed to reign everyone in and restore order, if the manager couldn't do it himself.
Varitek was the guy who was supposed to speak up and let the other players know what needed to happen.
He never did that, so what makes Sherman (or anyone else, for that matter) think that Varitek would be capable of managing this club?
Less than a year ago, these Red Sox players were his buddies. They were in the clubhouse with him, joking around and laughing as peers. Could he really come back so soon as their boss, when he wasn't even capable of assuming a leadership role when he wore the captain's "C" on his chest?
Perhaps someday, when there is an entirely fresh crop of players in the Red Sox clubhouse, Varitek might be able to come back and manage them effectively.
Now, however, is not the time.

As a result of the recently passed JOBS Act, it soon will be legal for startups to accept investments online. This represents two major changes from the status quo:
1. Startups will be able to raise money from all Americans—not just wealthy friends/family/angels and venture capitalists; and
2. Startups can raise capital without knowing their investors personally. (Under current law, in order to get money from an angel or a VC, you have to be acquainted first.)
This will create unprecedented opportunity, both for entrepreneurs and for ordinary investors who have been forced to sit on the sidelines.
Once the new law goes into effect, startups and other private businesses can go directly to the public to raise seed capital.
As your company grows, investment-based crowdfunding can provide a bridge between institutional rounds. It will enable entrepreneurs to raise more money at lower cost—and with fewer strings attached (board seats, control provisions, and the like).
One of the most exciting applications of this new rule is that startups can accept investments from their customers. If anyone can see the long-term value in your company, it's your early adopters. Allowing customers to invest makes them "stickier" to your brand, more likely to stay loyal and spread the word. So investment-based crowdfunding isn't just a financing strategy—it's also a smart marketing strategy.
And it can be a smart complement to institutional capital. There is definitely a value to experienced professional investors. At their best, VCs can offer great advice and contacts. But there is also a value to adding investment-based crowdfunding: lower cost capital, less dilution, more control, and terrific sales and marketing benefits.
If you're interested in raising money for a startup using investment-based crowdfunding, you should proceed with caution. Securities law is no joke–and what you don't know can hurt you. That's why it's important to work with experts who can shuttle you through the process in a safe, professional way. Beware of anyone who tells you that it's easy; and think long and hard before you take advice from someone who doesn't have a background in law or the capital markets. The paradigm is much closer to Morgan Stanley than Kickstarter.
My colleagues and I think the opportunity is so big that we founded a company to help entrepreneurs raise capital using these new tools. It's called PubVest (check us out at www.pubvest.com).
One question we're often asked is, what's required of a company seeking this kind of funding? We won't know everything until the SEC finishes writing its rules, but we have a pretty good idea. It's basically the same disclosure that a smart institutional investor would require–a solid business plan, the name of officers, directors, and 20%+ shareholders, financial statements (that have to be audited if you're raising more than $500,000), a description of the company's existing capital structure as well as how the company intends to use the new money it raises.
Our team would be delighted to chat with Columbia students and alums interested in raising capital. We especially like working with businesses that seek to do well for their investors while also doing something good in the world.
Even though the JOBS Act has been passed and signed, it won't go into effect until that SEC rulemaking is finished (at some point this year). In the meantime, we're happy to answer any questions about what investment-based crowdfunding might mean for you.
Adam Kaufman CC'04 is CEO of PubVest. You can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NY Daily News Blind Item
Which closeted — and married — actor almost had his cover blown when he hit on a straight man in a sauna? Word is the offended dude is now quite wealthy, thanks to a payoff.
Which closeted — and married — actor almost had his cover blown when he hit on a straight man in a sauna? Word is the offended dude is now quite wealthy, thanks to a payoff.
Posted by ent lawyer at 9:22 AM
Labels: NY Daily News Blind Item
The guesses are innumerable. :/
I don't know where to begin.
Could it be John Travolta (whom I love)
Gotta say Little Tommy.
I say John Travolta...in fact, wasn't there a rumor about this going around at one time?
The gym seems to be Travolta's favorite pick-up spot, so I'll go with JT. Although wasn't his cover blown a long time ago?
Travolta. He's notorious for the sauna pick-up trick.
A Toss up between Travolta and Gay Cruise hehehe.
I always imagined that Cruise has someone bring the men to him, I don't think he would risk being exposed. To think I once had such a crush on him LOL
Aren't these married gay blinds always about the same 3 or 4 guys? Cruise, Travolta, Smith and Jackman. You would think if you were as wealthy as these guys, you would have assistants to bring you the guys.
Careless millionaires
spreading the wealth.
Will Smith
I can't imagine Tom Cruise mingling with the little people in a public sauna.
There is no way to solve this. No list status and there's a ton of married actors. "Offended dude" made me think of "Dude Where's My Car," though.
Given that this is the NEW YORK Daily News and not the LOS ANGELES Daily News, it pays to look to actors living in NYC. I'm going with Huge Ackman, who has an apartment here and feels ashamed saying that he's not gay.
Being a straight guy and being offended by another mans advances is slightly insecure ( unless its just sexual harassment which is a whole different deal ) but capitalizing on someones fame and making money off of them is not cool. If the 'dude' said " my bad sir, by the look of you here in this gay bath house I assumed you were of the male/male persuasion .. may I offer you a check for 50K in compensation? " that would be cool but extortion is just bad juju
That's it--I'm heading to the baths!
I think Travolta used to cruise the baths and gym saunas years ago, but I would think it would be impossible now for anyone A-list-ish to try to pick up there.
It doesn't specify film or TV actor and it doesn't specify New York...but let's say that those things are true.
We have: Matthew Broderick; Paul Rudd (highly unlikely but a boy can dream); Chris Meloni (ditto); Woody Allen...
Dude makes me think of the Big Lebowski...
Why would anyone pay off anyone for extortion like this. No reputable source would ever buy this person's story, even the Enquirer. Anyone can make up the story. If the actor was smart, he would have just said-yeah....whatever dude...who are they going to believe? A married prominent actor or some dude I just heppened to encounter in a sauna. Puleese!
I'm going with Tom Cruise
second guess would be Matthew Mcconaughey
It is Travolta. He did hit on someone in a Hollywood Hills Sauna.
it's got to be someone with a great deal of cash, since "the offended dude is now quite wealthy, thanks to a payoff."
I know Travolta has planes and a bunch of cash, but can he pay off in the 'quite wealthy' category?
Deffo sounds like John Revolting
Definitely Travolta.
It sounds like Travolta.
When the movie "Perfect" was in production, he hit on one of the guy dancers in the shower.
@ miss: offended could mean, as in "committed an offense" rather than "he offended the fellow" OR, quite simply, the fact that the dude was nekkid in a sauna with another guy. who knows what they were discussing before the pass was made? or how the pass was made? :)
i really don't personally know that many "enlightened" straight males, outside the industry. hell, my dad would never be IN a sauna, just in case this MIGHT happen, although, he's come a long way-lol!
I wish someone would buy my silence!
I'm with Caroline... Can a famous closeted married lesbian hit on me and make me wealthy to buy my silence. I'm going to hit the sauna's more often, LOL
Will Smith was my first thought
Tom Cruise. I know for a fact he hit on a guy in a German club until the bouncer had to tell him to back off.
Ice Angel - this makes sense if the actor has done this before and many people know about past indiscretions. When Johnny was filming Hairspray, he was banned from the Granite Club in Toronto (very chi chi place, trust me) for coming on too strong on a member (pardon the pun) and a massage therapist.
Married men are the worst for this sort of thing. Gay or not gay, the wife no longer puts out ... so they look to gays for support.
Matthew Broderick.

Topic - Fantastic outdoor climbing/tooling walls unused and closed :-(
wilkie14c - on 22 Dec 2012
Its in here rather than walls and training, more apt I think
So, those of you who have drove to Blackpool over the last few years would have noticed the 2 giant towers on the road in. These are situated in Bancroft Park and were built along with the landscaping of the park with Ł5 million of heritage lottery funding. The towers are brilliant and unique, its a very urban experience when on the sharp end andthe wind is howling and rain falling while 20m off the ground and you still haven't reached the chains! The towers have been used for the lead climbing championships in the past and in winter the holds get replaced for a harder plastic material and the towers are converted for drytooling. The slab with the BLACKPOOL logo on is nails, those edges are 1/2 inch flatties and its like slate, limited friction and very long reaches.
The towers lie locked up and we can't use them - closed until spring. Why? I'm not sure, maybe someone can shed some light but I did look at a job advert about 18mths ago, the council expected applicants to have all their qualifications and work a sort of flexi time for minimum wage. Perhaps the pay and conditions have left it such that the council simply can't get the staff and the towers will remain closed until spring. Such a shame and definatly not what the lottery intended thats for sure!

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Professor Gary J. Schrobilgen
This Thesis describes the preparation of classically-bonded chalcogenide anions of tin, thallium, and lead in basic media and their structural characterization in solution by multi-nuclear magnetic resonance (multi-NMR) spectroscopy and in the solid-state by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and vibrational (Raman) spectroscopy. The Sn₂Ch₆⁴⁻ and Sn₂Ch₇⁴⁻ (Ch = Se, Te) anions have been characterized in solution for the first time by multi-NMR spectroscopy. The magnitudes of the relativistically corrected reduced coupling constants ¹K(Sn-Cht)RC, ¹K(Sn-Chmb)RC, and ¹K(Sn-Chdb)RC were shown to be consistent with a significant degree of s-character in the bonding. The Sn-Chmb and Sn-Cht bond distances observed in the X-ray crystal structures of the Sn₂Ch₆⁴⁻ anions were shown to correlate with the ¹K(Sn-Cht)RC values, indicating that the solid-state molecular structures of the anions are retained in solution. The Raman spectra of the Sn₂Ch₆⁴⁻ anions are also reported along with their respective factor-group analyses. The novel HOSnTe₃³⁻ anion, the hydroxide derivative of SnTe₃²⁻, has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and represents the first example of a simple mixed hydroxychalcogenide anion of tin. The novel of Sn₄Ch₁₀⁴⁻(Ch = Se, Te) have been characterized for the first time in solution by ⁷⁷Se, ¹¹⁹Sn, and ¹²⁵Te NMR spectroscopy and in the solid-state by X-ray crystallography and Raman spectroscopy. The solid-state and solution anion geometry is of the adamantanoid type where the Snᴵᵛ atoms occupy the bridgehead position and the Ch atoms occupy the bridging and terminal sites. The Raman spectra of the Sn₄Ch₁₀⁴⁻ anions have been assigned and compared with those of related adamantanoid systems and SnSe₄⁴⁻. The X-ray crystal structure of the novel adamantanoid Sn₄Se₉⁴⁻ anion is also reported and represents the first example of a P₄O₉-type post-transition element anion containing tin and a chalcogen. The solution and X-ray crystal structure of the TI₂Te₂²⁻ anion and the vibrational spectra of the TI₂Ch₂²⁻ (Ch = Se, Te) anions have been determined. Density functional theory calculations at the local and nonlocal levels confirm that the butterfly geometries observed in the solid state are true minima in the gas phase but are highly deformable. This finding is supported by the variation of the ²⁰⁵TI-²⁰³TI spin-spin coupling constants in the TI₂Ch₂²⁻(Se and/or Te) anions with solvent and temperature and by the observed and calculated low vibrational frequencies of the anion inversion modes. Theory indicates that the TI-Ch bonds are essentially pure p in character and a significant concentration of s-electron density along the TI∙∙∙TI axes and is supported by the small magnitudes of ¹K(TI-Ch)RC and the large magnitudes of K(TI-TI)RC observed for the TI₂Ch₂²⁻ (Ch = Se and/or Te) anions in solution. The series of Group 14 metal trigonal bipyramidal M₂Ch₃²⁻ (M= Sn, Pb; Ch = S, Se, and/or Te) anions has been extended to the mixed-metal TIMTe₃³⁻ (M = Sn, Pb) anions which were characterized in solution by ¹¹⁹Sn, ¹²⁵Te, ²⁰⁷Pb, and ²⁰⁵TI NMR spectroscopy. The TIPbTe₃³⁻anion was also characterized by X-ray crystallography in the compound (2,2,2-crypt-K⁺)₃TIPbTe₃³⁻∙2en. The small magnitudes of ¹K(M-Ch)RC observed for M₂Ch₃²⁻ and TIMTe₃³⁻are consistent with predominantly p-bonded cages and is supported by local and nonlocal density functional theory calculations which indicate that the experimental structures are true minima. Although theory indicates weak M∙∙∙M interactions of high s orbital character on M, the large K(M-M)RC and K(TI-M)RC couplings appear to arise predominantly from multiple coupling pathways and can be rationalized in terms of the small M-Ch-M bond angles observed in the X-ray crystal structures. The novel TI₂Seᵪⁿ⁻, TI₃Seᵧᵐ⁻, and TI₃Sezᴾ anions have been obtained by extraction of the alloys NaTISe and NaTI₀.₅Se in en and liquid NH₃ in the presence or absence of 2,2,2-crypt and characterized by variable-temperature ⁷⁷Se, ²⁰³TI, and ²⁰⁵TI NMR spectroscopy. Although the detailed solution structures of the anions have not yet been determined, they were shown by an analysis of the TI-TI spin-spin coupling patterns and the ²⁰³TI and ²⁰⁵TI subspectra arising from natural abundance isotopomer distributions to be di- and trinuclear with respect to thallium. The X-ray crystal structures of the novel TI₄Se₈⁴⁻ and [TISe₄/₂⁻]¹ anions are also reported and represent rare examples of thallium selenide polyanions.

Blending Mid-Range Colors of Hair Extensions
Hair extensions for light brown and dark blonds. Once again we are suggesting subtle blends and color mixes when ordering from our hair extension lines. This time we will concentrate on the mid-range colors, levels 5 through 7. Whether a stylists intends to install Cylinder hair extensions (micro ring hair extensions) or Poly hair extensions (fusion hair extensions) or even our Ready weft hair extensions, there are many colors to choose from. Here are some ideas on giving a touch of depth for a client who does not want bold streaks and highlights for their light brown to dark blond hair.
Brown shade Hair Extensions
1. Light Brown hair extensions
For a base color of 5 Ash (light neutral brown) add 1 small tip bundle of 4 Ash (mid neutral brown) that will add shadows without overwhelming a neutral brown.
For a base color of 5 Natural (light natural brown) add 1 small tip bundle of 6 Ash (lightest ash brown) to slightly tone down the reds while adding depth.
Or mix equally the 5 Natural and 4 Natural (mid natural brown) for an amazingly rich blend of natural browns that will not look the least bit boring.
2. Lightest Brown hair extensions
For a base color of 6 Natural (lightest natural brown) add 1 small tip bundle of 5 Natural, or for more a little more drama try 4 Bleach.
For a base color of 6 Ash add 1 small tip bundle of 5 Ash to maintain neutral browns, or for more warmth add 5 Natural.
Or mix equally the 6 Natural and 5 Ash as this will create a beautiful sun-streaked finish. This combination looks like most of the Russian virgin hair that we see.
Dark blond shade hair Extensions
3. Dark Blond hair extensions
For a base color of 7 Natural (Dark natural blond) add 1 small tip bundle of 7 Ash to compliment and give the appearance of darker root and nape growth.
Or for a warmer touch use 6 Natural for the low light.
Add a touch o f gold with 1 bundle of 8 Bleach to create a hint of strawberry blond.
For a base color of 7 Ash (Dark neutral blond) add 1 small tip bundle of 6 Ash for the most natural looking dark tone.
Or for a bit of light add 1 bundle of 7 Natural.
For a base color of 7 Gold (Dark golden blond) add 1 small tip bundle of 8 Ash (Mid neutral blond) to reduce the brassy effects under certain lighting.
If a subtle light is preferred add 1 small tip bundle of 8 Natural (Mid natural blond).
Try mixing equally the 7 Gold and the 8 Bleach for a gorgeous golden blond.
Custom European Wefts: Using the same color combinations recommended above – convert in the following way for weft hair extensions. 10 to 1 knots color weave or 5 to 1 knots comb thru and for equal mixes 1 to 1 knot color weaves.

I'lllPMI IIIIIIIIIBIIIIIIII iMUH ' 5 See "Greencard before it's deported to video Sports J Former WSU Hoopster Dave Johnson: Where is he now? WSU employs highest ratio of female faculty By Lorin May News editor of The Signpost Weber State's efforts to recruit women and minority faculty have resulted in the university's distinction as the four-year Utah school with the highest percentage of female instructors and professors. Lou Jean Flint, academic affairs officer for state Higher Education Commissioner W. Rolfe Kerr, prepared the report, which shows that 31 percent of WSU's faculty is female. She said the increase is considerable considering the number of faculty positions which have opened in past years. "This (report) shows that (WSU) is very cognizant in hiring female and minority faculty," Flint said. 'Tor the past few years (WSU Academic Affairs Vice President) Bob Smith has been very in tune with that philosophy ... He hired Barry Gomberg in Affirmative Action, and President Thompson shares the same philosophy." Flint said Utah's higher education system has come a long way and still has a long way to go. "I wish it were more I wish it were a lot more but I'm happy with the increases." Weber is strong in female-dominated professions like health sciences and education, but Academic Affairs Vice President Robert Smith says that women in traditionally male-dominated professions account for the majority of the increase. "About two-thirds of the overall increase is in non-traditional fields," Smith said. "We've been making a conscious effort (See FACULTY page 2) Pros and cons of drug legalization debated By Lisa hey Staff writer of The Sgnpost The nation's drug policy has been a "dismal failure" over the last six to seven years, said Attorney Fred Metos during a Weber State Open Hour Issues Forum Thursday. Metos joined Sgt. Randy Watt of the Ogden Police Department in a debate to discuss the pros and cons of drug legalization. Each was assigned to research and represent a position, and the views they presented did not necessarily reflect their personal views. Metos, who advocated drug legalization, said the cost of drug enforcement has been about $10 billion a year, more than that spent on drug education and treatment, and the policy is having little effect on preventing drug abuse. "About 40 percent of all persons incarcerated today are incarcerated on drug-related offenses," Metos said. "We are now raising a group of minorities which has no educational skills coming out of an overcrowded prison system filled with violence."There are now more black males between 20 and 30 years old in prison than there are in college, he said. Watts, who was assigned to take the anti-legalization position, agrees that funding drug education is part of the solution, but does not believe the drug "We need to put our money into the underlying causes of drug abuse ... (so people) can do something with their lives instead of selling drugs to make money' Fred Metos, attorney policy to be a failure. "We believe in law enforcement that more money needs to be spent in the treatment and education of drugs," he said. Watts said that fighting drugs is like running a large corporation, in which results take time. "You don't set a 7- to 10-year long range plan (to fight drugs) and then end that plan in a year because you haven't achieved the goals you have hoped to achieve," he said. Statistics have shown that drug policies have helped in the past, Watts said. A survey of high school students indicated that 35.4 percent of seniors admitted to drug abuse in 1988, down from 54.2 percent in 1979. Watts advocates a strong stand against convicted drug abusers, punishing those in-(See DRUGS page 3) v:jl . ".. y"' , : rr"""' ' ;r ' - - - - f V- "V" , - .... x v V V"." ' v- 'x - - " " .

I.I. . , Sports violence needs control, speaker says Attorney lobbies for stronger enforcement against violence in professional sports MARK RANDAL 1 THC SGNPOST RICK HARROW advocates control of sports violence at WSU Thursday. By Scott Summers Sports editor of The Signpost Competition escalating to violence has become too prominent in the world of professional sports, Rick Harrow believes, and he is leading a personal crusade to stop it. Harrow gave a brief but startling history of sports violence during Convocation Thursday and illustrated his message with numerous video clips. "What we're trying to do is separate normal, aggressive, part-of-the-game behavior from excessive, violent, physical force," he said. "I'm not a crazy lunatic running around the country trying to put quarterbacks in skirts and ruining the competitiveness in sports." He is, however, trying to control excessive violence not reasonably related to the competitive goals of sports. The attorney said he is often misunderstood in the sports world, where he has been involved in the study of sports violence for more than a decade. Harrow related that the social consequences of sports violence include instances when spectators "break the rules of being spectators, when they see players breaking their rules as being players ... and the kids will emulate the professionals by being excessively violent." One example he related involved the time a mother pulled out a .22-caliber pistol from her purseat a little leaguebaseball game and shot another woman point blank because she insulted the playing ability of her daughter. Harrow cited the media, especially television, as the biggest source of promoting sports violence by showing brawls, fights, and cheap shots continually as highlights on the news. Sports leagues also blame the (See VIOLENCE page 7)

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

April 29 date set for latest Mac OS
Summary: Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is set for release on April 29.
Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is set for release on April 29. Among the highly touted features that Apple CEO Steve Jobs thinks will "drive our competitors nuts trying to copy them" are Spotlight--desktop search--and Dashboard, which allows developers to create widgets that run on the Mac. Previously, Jobs showed off Dashboard widgets, including a stock look-up service, currency converter and flight tracker. Hopefully Tiger will drive competitors nuts...or at least push the Windows and Linux camps to keep up or surpass the Mac user interface...

You can't swim, you can't dance and you don't know karate. But your brother does.0 Reviews
Frank's point of view:
I walked upstairs behind Gerard, trying my utter best to not look at his ass. See, this is why being smaller than five feet absolutely sucks: Walking upstairs behind your oh so coincidently extremely hot new guy friend with his ass swaying from side to side is very distracting-if you're gay anyway. Okay so if I don't get caught it ain't that bad I guess. As I thought this, suddenly being short didn't seem so bad. Not when you've got a view as good as this.
Wait, did I just fill a full paragraph about me trying to not look at my friends' coincidently, tight, pert, skinny jean clad ass?
Yep you did.
Oh great its my 'good friend'. Also called my 'conscience'. Notice the quotation marks I put in there?
Ya know I ain't exactly overjoyed to be your conscience either if it makes you feel any better.
Yeah like totally. Great to know even my own 'conscience' thinks it got stuck with a shit ass job. I'm pretty sure the Devil would sympathise with you too buddy. Having to put up with assholes complaining all the time about how the world sucks, life ain't fair…
Like you do on a daily basis by any chance?
Shut it.
Now I gotta put up with you all but drooling over Sir sex on legs over there. God what did I do to deserve this job? Why couldn't I be in a normal teenagers' brain?
I was not drooling!
You were as good as!
What? I can't help it if I can't deny my friend is extremely attractive now can I?
No but it would help if you stopped staring at his ass.
Why? I got a chance of having a good view. Not every day I get an opportunity like this.
Am not.
You are.
By calling me a pervert, you're calling yourself one dumbass.
So now you're calling yourself a dumbass?
…shut it.
Sweet comeback. Almost as sweet as the view you've got.
Well considering my view is pretty good then yeah it was a pretty sweet comeback.
What? The wooden door covered in band stickers including one that says 'Metal up your ass'?
I blinked; I was staring at a door. Which did have stickers covering it like a lick of paint. Including one that said 'Metal up your ass'.
Ha metal up your ass. Nice.
Bet you wish you had a certain someone's certain something up your ass…
Now who's being perverted?
Not exactly denying it are you?
I chose to ignore this and went through the door to find out where Gee and his brother went to. I had to admit his brother was pretty attractive too now that I think about it.
How the fuck am I a whore? I haven't slept with the both of them have I?
No, but I bet you have a sexual fantasy of a threesome with the both of them.
Dude, they're brothers.
Incest much?
Didn't necessarily say they'd be fucking; just that you'd be either the top or bottom with the both of them.
I rolled my eyes at that; It was way too fucking early for this bullshit.
It's 2pm!
Hey, until I get at least three cups of coffee down my system, it's too early.
I heard voices from what I guessed was the kitchen; one was pretty high pitched, the other rather sarcastic. Grinning to myself I went to find out the commotion.
"Mikey fucking Way how many times have I told you to not stick a fork in the flipping toaster!"
"Oh I don't know, maybe only like a dozen times."
I stepped into the kitchen to see Gerard standing with a fork in his hand next to the toaster while Mikey was sitting slouched at the table, arms folded,leg crossed over the other and a pout on his lips.
"Well maybe you should try listening!"
"Why should I? Think I would kill us all if I didn't?" Mikey asked, sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"Uh…maybe." Gerard said as if it was obvious, "I don't know about you Mikes but I would appreciate it if you didn't try to blow the house up the minute my back was turned!"
I covered my mouth to stifle the giggles that were beginning to erupt but obviously that didn't work considering the brothers both whipped round to look at me. I felt a flush of heat cross my face at the realization I had been caught.
"Hey Frankie, wondered where you got to." Gerard grinned and I instantly felt my legs weaken, "Thought you decided to go back to sleep."
"Mmph." I mumbled oh so smartly in reply as I fought to keep control over my legs. Damn him for being so attractive…
Gerard frowned cutely in confusion before shrugging, "Anyway you missed all the action." he rolled his eyes before pointing the fork he was holding at his younger brother who stuck his tongue out in response, "Fucktwat here decided to be a complete fucktard again."
"Hey I ain't a fucktwat or a fucktard! And besides, not my fault you're a total killjoy!" Mikey snapped back indignantly, glaring at his older brother.
"What? Cause I decided I didn't wanna get incinerated by a toaster before I hit thirty-five?" Gerard asked dryly.
"Bite me!" Mikey replied childishly.
Gerard rolled his eyes yet again as he flipped his brother off. I shook my head, laughing as I sat across from Mikey, arm up on the back rest, my legs crossed over the other. Mikey smirked playfully before kicking me underneath the table.
"Ouch!" I yelped, jumping in my chair as Gerard started laughing while Mikey grinned.
"That's what cha get for laughing at me." Mikes replied smartly.
I glared lightly at him though I didn't actually feel any anger towards him. Gerard jumped as the kettle clicked and he turned round, ignoring our sniggers only responding by flipping us off, to prepare the coffee.
"How'd you take yours Frank?" he asked over the clatter of pulling out mugs from the cupboard.
"Um milk and two sugars." I responded trying my best not to stare at his ass again-or the pale skin that was on show due to his shirt riding up as he stretched slightly.
Mikey I noticed was smirking again. I ignored this as Gerard tutted, sounding like my mother did when I woke up with a hangover.
"I don't get how you guys can put sugar or milk in it." Gerard said sounding rather distasteful as he pulled out a carton of milk from the fridge.
"I don't get how you can drink it straight." Mikey shot back though he was grinning.
"Cause it tastes good, and wakes you up quicker." Gerard replied smartly.
Mikey rolled his eyes but smiled fondly at his brother. I smiled slightly to myself. It was obvious these two were close. It made me feel slightly jealous. Being an only child, I didn't really have anyone to be close to, to look up to, or protect. And my parents being divorced made it suck even more. Looking at the Way brothers, I could tell Mikey looked up to his brother by the way he smiled at him and the way he spoke about him. Gerard was obviously very fond of his brother, due to how highly he spoke of him.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by a mug getting put in front of me. I blinked then grinned gratefully at Gee who grinned back before lighting up a cigarette from the pack on the counter.
Mikey coughed deliberately and Gerard, rolling his eyes yet again, passed him the cigarette he had already lit up to his brother, "Start buying your own will you?"
"Can't, I'm too young to buy them dumbass." Mikey replied as if Gerard was being retarded.
"Well you know what that means then don't cha?" Gee asked smirking slightly before taking a drink of his own black coffee.
"That if you can't buy, you can't smoke." Gerard said simply before daintily taking the cigarette from Mikey's relaxed fingers and taking a long deliberate drag from it, blowing the smoke in his brothers' face.
"Fuck off." Mikey said annoyed snatching the cigarette back while I giggled in my chair.
I fumbled around in my jean pocket looking for my own pack of cigarettes before realizing I must have left them back in the basement. I cussed under my breath.
"What's up Frankie?" Mikey asked curiously taking a sip of his coffee while Gee lit up another cigarette.
"Left my cigs downstairs." I sighed, "Okay if I nip back down to-" I was cut off by Gerard holding out he just lit cigarette in front of me, "I got my own Gee." I said though I was grinning.
Gerard shrugged, "It's cool, you take this one and I'll go downstairs and fetch yours while I go get changed."
I smiled, "Thanks." I took the cigarette daintily from Gee's slender, pale artist fingers, secretly admiring how smooth his skin was compared to my callused fingers, and placed the cig between my lips.
"No prob." he muttered suddenly blushing before grinning at me almost shyly before adding in, "Wanna borrow something to wear? Cause I don't think you'd wanna walk around in the clothes you slept in." he smirked suddenly teasingly at me.
I blushed slightly then realized Mikey was making retching noises over his mug of coffee. Gerard rolled his eyes, flipping his brother off.
"Um yeah if that's okay." I muttered smiling shyly.
"Kay Gimmie a few minutes kay?" Gerard grinned and I felt my heart rate quicken before he left the kitchen.
I realized my mouth was hanging open as I watched him leave the room, noticing how his skinny hips swayed slightly as he walked, only turning back round when Mikey said, "You trying to catch flies or are you impersonating a dead fish?"
I whipped round, shutting my mouth as I did so as a blush reached my face yet again. Shit he must of caught me.
Well you weren't exactly being discreet were you?
You! You just fuck off will ya!
Mikey was looking at me with a knowing smirk on his lips. He's being doing that a lot this morning.
Ah well, when you get caught checking your friends' brother out (who is also your friend) reply with a smartass comment.
"Do you like wearing the glasses at the end of your nose? Or is that to help you see what's in front of you better?"
Wow best comeback ever dude. Notice the sarcasm?
Didn't I tell you to fuck off!?
"Dude, not only was that the lamest comeback ever-trust me I've heard a lot of lame comebacks from my brother- but I don't really think I even need glasses to see what's happening in front of me." Mikey replied smirking before taking a drag.
Oh! Zing!
Shut it.
I frowned in annoyance, "And what are you seeing?" I asked in what I hope was a unconcerned fashion as I took a sip of my coffee. Fuck it tasted good.
"Oh nothing really important. Ya know just that I'm seeing my friend checking my brothers' ass out every ten seconds and going all gooey eyed when he speaks to him oh and the obvious checking out of his body if that was what the dead fish impersonation was about." Mikey shrugged as if it didn't matter while I just wanted the ground to swallow me up right now, "But part from that, nothing really important." Mikey finished, taking a sip of coffee though I could see a smirk curving his lips.
I probably look like I have a bad case of sunburn right now I was blushing that much.
I started stuttering while Mikey started laughing.
"Its okay dude, god don't take a fit on me." he grinned, "You make it sound like it's a crime to check someone out!"
"Bu, but, but, but it's your brother!" I yelped, accidentally burning my lip with my cigarette making me yelp again and Mikey to laugh harder.
"Your point?" he giggled.
"Well don't you find it weird?"
"No should I?" Mikey asked raising an eyebrow at me.
"Well considering I'm both your friends and that you just caught me checking your brother out, aren't you like freaking out?"
"Nope." Mikey stated, popping the 'P' as he took a drag of his cigarette before putting it out in the ashtray beside him.
Noticing my look of incredulous disbelief on my face he grinned, "Listen, speaking from a bisexual guys' point of view even I can tell my brother is extremely attractive and considering am an observant kind of guy, I notice he attracts a lot of attention from others-just that he's too low in confidence to see it or believe it." Mikey frowned at that, while I was shocked; how can a hot guy like Gee be low in confidence? Hell how is a guy like that single!, "Anyway why am I not freaking out? Cos I'm actually glad you see it too."
"That he's good looking." Mikey said making it obvious, "He won't believe me when I say it. Or the other guys and if any other person says it in school he thinks they're just taking the piss out of him. So maybe considering he just met you, he might be more inclined to believe it if you told him."
I let my brain take in all this, "Like how?" I asked all but whining, "I mean I said he was cute yesterday then he asked why and I started stuttering like a complete idiot!" I threw my arms up in exasperation, not believing I was having this conversation with the guys' fucking younger brother!
"Well that's a start." Mikey shrugged, "Just throw him some compliments, make him feel good about himself." he then blinked in realization and a blush actually crept on his face, "That's if you do actually like him that is, ya know like like, I mean-"
Great the guy sounded like I did last night, "Yeah I like him, guess I've kind of got a crush on him." I mumbled suddenly feeling rather self conscious.
Mikey grinned, "Aww that is so sweet!" he all but squealed and I felt myself blush though I felt glad Mikey was only squealing and not shouting abuse at me for crushing on his brother.
"What's sweet?"
I jumped and looked round-and my jaw dropped-again. Gerard was standing at the doorway, his newly dyed black hair styled in an out of bed way, tight ripped black skinny jeans that hugged his legs perfectly, with a few chains hanging from the belt loops where a black leather silver studded belt was placed, a tight fitting Zombie killer black shirt that showed off his soft muscle defined arms and biceps and a pair of knee high black leather biker boots. He also wore some dramatic black guy liner, a black choker and a studded Iron Maiden wristband. Needless to say his outfit left little to the imagination it was that tight fitting. To add to the hotness, he was smoking a cigarette as he leaned against the door frame, one leg crossed over the other at the ankle and an arm wrapped round his ribs.
Again I wondered how the fuck this image of perfection lacked confidence, was gay and how the fuck he was freaking single.
"I uh um was telling Mikey about-" I stuttered suddenly feeling rather hot as I pulled on the collar of my shirt, having no idea on what I was going to say. I couldn't exactly say 'Oh just that me and your brother were discussing on how attractive you were and how to make you notice it-oh and the fact that I've got a crush on you despite only knowing you for three days' now could I?
Gerard raised an eyebrow at me expectedly as he blew out some smoke from his mouth. How the fuck can a guy turn me on just by flipping smoking in front of me!?
"Frank was telling me about that time he took a stray dog in from the street when he was a kid." Mikey said so calmly I almost believed him.
I tried my best to act like Mikes was telling the truth by adding in, "Yeah back in my hometown I found a dog that was lying in the street, starving by the looks of it and I took it home to tae care of it." Fuck I hope to God that I sounded as calm and as convincing as Mikey.
"Aww that is sweet." Gerard looked like he was convinced by the soft smile on his lips, "Ya know I always wanted a dog." he said thoughtfully.
I grinned at Mikey who discreetly winked at me to let me know that I was off the hook. Gerard casually pushed himself off the door frame as he walked into the kitchen and made himself another coffee, "Oh here's your cigs by the way." he took them out of his pocket (how the fuck did he even get them in there? Those jeans are fucking tight!) and threw them over at me. I caught them saying thanks and he grinned before saying, "There's a change of clothes in the bathroom by the way, just in case you wanted to take a shower or something."
"Trying to say I smell bad?" I joked grinning.
Mikey suddenly held his nose, "Yeah I can like totally smell you from here." he said dramatically making us laugh.
Gerard's point of view.
I leaned against the counter sipping my coffee before taking one last drag of my cigarette before putting it out while Frank said he was going upstairs to take my suggestion and shower before getting dressed. Mikey was finishing off his coffee though I couldn't help but notice he had a knowing look in his eye. I discreetly sneaked a glance at Frankie's behind as he walked out the room, admiring how tight and pert it was and loving his small frame before turning back to Mikey who was smirking at me.
"What?" I asked defensively.
"You so like him!" he said in a sort of victorious fashion.
"Shhh!" I hissed, flapping my hand in a very camp fashion to tell him to keep it down, "Keep the decimal down will ya!"
"Oh so its true you do like him." Mikey smirked though his voice was considerably lower than before.
"No! Well, maybe, sorta, um I don't know! I just met him three days ago!" I hissed hysterically.
Mikey giggled uncontrollably at my reaction, "Oh come on its so obvious." he grinned, leaning back in his chair-only for it to fall back, sending him crashing to the floor.
I laughed, "Haha serves you right for being a smart ass." I mocked him though I grinned.
"Shut it lover boy." he said waspishly as he stood up, lifting the chair back up, as I abruptly stopped laughing and frowned instead, "So come on, admit it you like him."
I refused to tell my brother that! Well I probably will, I can't exactly hide anything from my brother considering he is pretty much my best friend, but I ain't telling him right now. Not after that attitude.
"I told you Mikes, I've only known him for about three days." I replied exasperated.
"So you've only know him for just under seventy-two hours so what?" Mikey shrugged, "He's stayed over hasn't he? You haven't shut up about him since you met have you? Haven't took your eyes off him since have you?"
I ignored that and took another sip of coffee, knowing full well my brother was right. And he knew it judging by the smug look on his face.
"Plus that moment in the bedroom-"
"What moment?" I asked sharply, forgetting my silent treatment.
Mikey grinned, placing a hand on the table, his ass sticking out as he propped his leg out and put his other hand on his hip, "Ya know that moment when you fell on top of Frank and you almost kissed?"
"Yeah if it wasn't for you bursting in on it." I mumbled slightly put out.
Mikey laughed, "Ah ha so you were wanting to kiss him!"
Have I ever mentioned how much of a dick my brother can be when he realizes he's right? No? Well now I am. He is a complete and utter dick when he knows he's right about something.
"I swear on all things gory and horror related if you tell him Mikes I will personally make sure you will die in the most painful and slowest way possible." I warned him, not seeing any point in denying any more.
Far from being scared, Mikey just grinned, "Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a pot noodle in my eye." he vowed his face completely poker straight.
I raised an eyebrow at him and he burst out into a fit of hysterical giggles as I shook my head in exasperation.
"And people say I'm the psychotic one?" I asked exasperated.
"You are the psychotic one." Mikey stated giggling still.
I frowned at that, "Oh so people do say am psychotic?" I asked.
Mikey rolled his eyes, "Dude half the fucking city says you are just because you wear black, listen to different music and look like a fucking vampire." he said bluntly, "So quit trying to mind rape me."
I was about to reply when I heard Frank calling; "Who's raping who?"
"No-one's raping anyone!" I and Mikey called back.
I and Mikey raised our eyebrows at one another before he burst out into a fit of silent giggles while I just slapped myself before placing a hand on my hip.
"And besides considering you just threatened to kill me in -and I quote this here- 'in the most painful and slowest way possible.'" Mikey quoted grinning while I rolled my eyes sighing in annoyance and tapping the counter with my fingers, "That's pretty much the signs of a psychopath."
"Any more wise cracks and I will get psychotically violent on you bro."
"Oooohhh am so scared. Please help!" Mikey cried out in fake horror, "Yeah like you're totally the next Freddie Krueger dude, give Jack the Ripper a run for his money." he added sarcastically.
"Okay that's it! You're going down bro!" I yelled lunging for him-if it wasn't for the fact he had all ready bolted.
Mikey's point of view
Okay so maybe it wasn't a very intelligent idea to wind up my brother. But hey since when have I ever had an intelligent idea?
I ran through the sitting room, up the stairs, hoping to make it to my attic room before my brother caught up to me (trust me for a guy who hates gym class he can sure as hell run when he wants to).
I was just a few yards away from my room-when I was all but rugby tackled to the ground by my brother.
"Ah fuck Gerard get off!" I yelled though I started laughing cause his fingers were digging in to my ribs-where I was most ticklish.
Gerard seemed to have realized this because he smirked rather evilly-and began tickling me like crazy.
"Ah fuck! Quit it Gee!" I all but squealed.
"Nope! Not until you say sorry!"
"No way you fucking psycho!" I squealed out indignantly.
"Yeah like tickling you is really a trait of a psychopath." Gee replied sarcastically making me laugh even harder.
"Fuck you! RAPE!" I all but screamed with laughter.
"You little fuck twat it is not!"
I was about to try and kick him in the ball sack when the bathroom door opened. I and Gee looked up to see Frank, his hair damp with water, wearing my brothers' tight fitting Green Day shirt and tight faded grey skinny jeans along with a look of confused perplexity across his face. I and Gee looked at one another; I guess we must look rather…weird. I mean Gee had me pinned to the floor by my hands, and was leaning over me, our faces inches apart, our faces were flushed red with both the running and laughing and Gerard had pinned my legs between his own.
Yeah like we totally don't look like we're in a sexual position ya know what I mean?
Plus it didn't help Frank had heard me shouting out rape a few seconds ago.
"Umm…what the hell is going on here?" Frank asked confused.
"Uhhh…." both of us trailed off, "Nothing?" we suggested meekly.
"Yeah that might convince me if it wasn't for the fact you both look like you're gonna screw each other." Frank replied smirking in amusement.
I noticed Gerard was all but gawping at Frank and I made a noise of disgust and kneed him in the ball sack making him yelp in agony and jump off me. Cruel I know, but I am not having my brother getting turned on by looking at our friend while he's lying on top of me. Sure Frank does look hot but do you see me all but drooling over him and getting hard while lying underneath my brother? No you don't.
That would be just plain awkward.
Gerard all but shrieked at me, as I got up "GOD THAT FUCKING HURT! LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?"
Frankie was all but close to pissing himself with laughter while I just looked at my brother with a small smirk, eyebrows raised and my arms folded.
"Okay one; calm the fuck down, 2; you are fucking retarded and 3; at least we know now that you actually do have a fucking ball sack-despite how feminine you look." I ticked off while smirking still.
Gerard blinked at me while Frank burst out into a fresh fit of laughter.
"Good to know that, I'm sure the whole neighbourhood are glad to know that too." I said smirking, "Now they probably think you're a psychotic, blood sucking hermaphrodite."
Gerard looked ready to kill me-and he probably would have. If it wasn't for the fact Frankie was holding him back by the back of his shirt while he laughed. I bit back a laugh while watching Gerard flail his fists around hysterically trying to hit me.
"Meh! Frankie, let me go! Pretty please! Please!" he begged.
"What for you can kill him?" Frank asked raising an eyebrow, one hand on his hip, "Me think not."
"Aw come on! Just one hit! I promise!"
"Yeah like you could even do that!" I scoffed, tossing my hair back sassily, "More chance of you getting beaten by fresh air!"
"OKAY LEY ME AT HIM! IMMA TURN HIM INTO HAMSTER FOOD GOD DAMN IT!" Gerard yelled flailing around more hysterically.
Frankie looked rather bewildered at my brother before sighing loudly and grabbing my brother around the waist, "Yeah like am really gonna let you do that. No offence but I don't wanna get arrested for assistant homicide after not being in the city for even a week thanks. And Mikey?"
I looked up trying not to laugh, "Try not to wind your brother up anymore will ya? Cause I don't think I can hold on to him much longer and if he kills you? I ain't taking the blame for it." Frankie said trying very hard to keep a grip on Gerard.
"Please you struggle to kill a fly." I scoffed completely doing the opposite of Frankie's request, "And you? Beat me up? Dude you get your ass kicked by doors, lockers and even stairways."
"OKAY THAT'S IT!" Frank threw his arms up in exasperation obviously giving up and deciding to just let us fight it out instead, " YOU'RE GOING DOWN NOW MOTHERFUCKER!"
"Oh shit." I muttered before getting rugby tackled-again- to the ground.
Frank's point of view.
I leaned against the wall sighing in resignation though I couldn't help but laugh at the pair of them.
Mikey had Gerard in a headlock while Gerard flailed punches around and was trying to bite his brothers' hand off.
"Who's kicking who's ass now eh Gee?"
"Bite me!"
"Seems like you're the one who's doing the biting here." Mikey said then suddenly yelped, losing grip of his brother, "WHAT THE FUCK DUDE! YOU A CANNIBAL AS WELL AS A BLOOD SUCKER NOW!?" he all but shrieked holding his hand.
I burst out laughing while Gerard, who now resembled a wolf stalking his prey just growled in annoyance and lunged at Mikey, sending them both crashing to the ground.
And with that, Mikey did throw his brother across the room. No I'm not exaggerating here, Mikey, who I thought was a lanky, geeky guy who would have hated any sort of gym work, actually threw his brother across the hall way.
I all but gawped in disbelief as Mikey stood panting heavily, sweeping his hair out of his face and readjusted his glasses while Gerard grumbled across the other side of the hallway.
"How did you do that?" I asked awestruck.
Mikey just smirked "Well-"
"WHAT THE FUCK MIKEY! I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO USE THAT IN THE HOUSE! REMEMBER!" Gerard suddenly shouted shooting up and looking pretty much pissed off, his black hair stuck to his face.
"I'll get back to you on that." Mikey said so fast I barely understood him before he ran off and rugby tackled his brother to the ground, "MY TURN MOTHER FUCKER!"
I tried my best not to laugh, but of course I failed. It was actually kind of funny watching two brothers, one sixteen, the other eighteen, actually wrestling around the ground like a bunch of four year olds.
I continued to watch this for a good few minutes then-"Hey guys you might wanna watch out for the-" I cut off and flinched as they both went flying downstairs-which was probably rather painful, "Know what? Never mind." I added in casually before following them downstairs just as the door went, "I got it." I said grinning as I leaped over them as they both continued to wrestle.
"Thanks!" they both yelled, then Mikey yelped no doubt because Gerard somehow managed to kick him in the ball sack.
I flinched, "No prob." I muttered in amusement before opening the door-only to be greeted by a big ball of hair which all but tackled me in a bone crushing hug.
Since I moved here and met these two, I didn't think anything can surprise me, but this just takes the piss.

Talk to Republicans and Democrats alike about former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and one word emerges.
In a field where ego reigns supreme, Newt Gingrich's ego is considered supersized by those surveyed by Capitol Hill Blue.
"He's out of control," says former Congressman and MSNBC talk show host Joe Scarborough.
In recent days, Gingrich has taken credit for ending the cold war, for engineering the "Reagan Revolution," bragged about how he doesn't need money because people pay $65,000 a pop just to hear him speak and compared himself with legendary world leaders like Winston Churchill.
"Give me a break," says Scarborough. "His comments are an insult to Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and others."
In Congress, Scarborough was part of a group of young GOP conservatives who engineered Gingrich's ouster as Speaker of the House, saying he had abandoned the principles of the Republican Party.
Scarborough isn't the only Republican sounding warning signs about Gingrich's illusion of self-importance. Republican strategist Rich Galen, a longtime Gingrich confidant, warns that "sooner or later," Gingrich's ego will sink his Presidential bid.
This week, Gingrich said he "helped Ronald Reagan bring down Communism."
That came as a surprise to former members of the Reagan administration.
"Newt Gingrich is a loudmouth, boorish asshole," says one former Reagan White House staff member who asked not to be identified. "When Republicans took control of Congress in 1994, he killed the party's chance to make a difference with his extremes. Now he wants to do the same thing to the GOP chances to defeat Barack Obama."
Heads turned this week when Gingrich called himself "an enduring celebrity" whose fame — he claims — matches that of top tier stars.
That comment provided fodder for cable-TV satirist Stephen Colbert, who said Gingrich thinks he is a bigger star than dozens of celebrities.
"At least his head is," Colbert said.

Egomania is an obsessive preoccupation with one's self and applies to someone who follows their own ungoverned impulses and is possessed by delusions of personal greatness and feels a lack of appreciation. Someone suffering from this extreme egocentric focus is an egomaniac. The condition is psychologically abnormal.
This is NOT a personality one would want in the Oval Office. For the sake of the entire world, just say NO TO NEWT!
Of course, when it comes to massive, narcissistic, self-serving ego's, there is none finer than Zero's.
I thought this letter written to him – in the spirit of inclusion and unity he urged to get elected in the first place – highlights it well…
go to the link to read it all.
For years, I've been watching Speaker Gingrich closely and figured that his "Contract with America" was what the Congress needed for a positive focus. At that time, he showed all the qualities of intelligence and the ability to explain the situation in D.C.
His own weakness for women did not bother me at all until he came after President Clinton with a vengeance of a Christian Missionary out to destroy Satan. He changed his attitude and began to attack anyone not a member of the religious right. He was thrown out of the Congress and it damaged his ego to such a point that he followed the words of others rather than his own agenda. It was obvious that his agenda was to win anything at any cost.
He took note of himself and decided to change his public image. He became an Evangelical Christian and found a new guide to his new Catholic image. He had divorced his first wife and after finding this new guide, divorced is second wife. To a secular observer, he had never known right from wrong and he chose to follow the strongest Christian group possible and his chosen guide of his current wife.
The current religious right loves a repenting sinner. In my opinion, this fits Newt's lack of ego and his desire to take leadership any way he can.
The problem is that he wants to lead America and has given every indication that he will force religion down the throats of all of us. It might work with the majority of voters over the age of 50+ but he will lose the younger voters.
Al, are you saying that "zero's" ego is more massive than Gingrich's? I miss your point…
Yeah, Big Al,
Did you hurt anything in that stretch?
Only your feelings, it seems.
Gingrich's always-massive ego is out of control
So what's new?
Toss in "serial hypocrite" and "adulterer" (while his then current wife was dying of cancer) and you probably have the guy pretty well pegged.
Keith, many Congressmen are hypocrites and adulterers. The first Mrs. Gingrich is still alive. Americans are used to men like this. I question his leadership ability that has been replaced by his big rude mouth. He may be just what the religious Conservatives want. He is not what I want.
Keith, many Congressmen are hypocrites and adulterers. Americans are used to men like this.
All of which begs the obvious question: Why do we CONTINUE to settle for "men like this"? What's now preventing us from electing people with upstanding moral character as well as proven leadership skills?
The people our mainstream political parties are offering up to us these days are nothing more than bums. Yet we continue to elect (and then re-elect) these clowns over and over again! Why?
Clearly, it's LONG past time for another party (besides the "Repbublicrats") to emerge with some decent alternatives than this growing den of ignorantly arrogant bums and thieves.
Keith, there is no man or woman with "upstanding moral character as well as proven leadership skills" running for office. So that is the biggest impediment. Such a person, if he or she does exist, would never be given a chance to run and wold not run, being a person with "moral character."
Another problem is that we Americans are looking for people with "leadership skills." We are supposed to elect representatives not leaders. We Americans are supposed to be the leaders, not those we elect.
Keith, no one has worked harder than I have to search for and promote a third party candidate. I have been laughed off of Reader Rant for my efforts. My best effort was Ross Perot. Eleven years ago I moved to Arizona to try and find a group who would work for a new man or woman of integrity. I jumped from the fireplace into the fire. I had to move back home to California for my sanity. I'm working on my own problem and try not to give a damn any more.
It takes a load of time and money to locate and promote and new candidate and party. I'm running out of both.
I'll bet youi didn't know that Newt can sing and dance. Check out the clip:
Newt has been politically bit*h slapped in the past and just maybe that will have a slight impact on his hubris. Probably not but the thought is always pleasant.
Is there a new sign on the White House door now? "Only narcissists and egomaniacs need apply?"
Newt makes Obama, an self-loving figure if there ever was one, look modest and shy.

September 12, 1811–August 7, 1898
JAMES HALL OF NEW YORK was North America's preeminent paleontologist and geologist of the nineteenth century. That he was a giant among early American scientists is evidenced by the facts that he was a founder of and served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1856), was a charter member of the National Academy of Sciences (1863), and was chosen to be the first president of the Geological Society of America (1889). Hall was also the best-known American geologist on the international scene in his time. As early as 1837 he was elected to membership in the Imperial Mineralogical Society of St. Petersburg. Later he was the organizing president of the International Geological Congress meetings at Buffalo, New York (1876) and at Paris (1878); he was a vice-president of the congresses at Bologna (1881) and Berlin (1885) and was honorary president of the congress at St. Petersburg (1897). Hall was elected a foreign correspondent to the Academy of Sciences of France in 1884, being its first English-speaking member. It was primarily the 13-volume Natural
