History of Saturday Night Live (1985–1990)
- History of Saturday Night Live (1985–1990)
The late eighties
Dick Ebersolleft the show after the 1984-85 season, when the network refused his request to shut the program down entirely for six months and shift much of the material onto tape, not live broadcast. Once again, NBCbriefly considered cancelling the show, but programming head Brandon Tartikoff(who was something of an "SNL" fan) decided to continue the show and re-hire erstwhile producer Lorne Michaels.
The prodigal son returns
In some ways the job Michaels returned to was more challenging than the one he took on in 1975. For starters, Michaels' "golden boy" reputation was somewhat tarnished. His most recent effort, the previous season's "
The New Show" confused critics and was ignored by audiences. Also, the 1984-1985 season had been a critical and ratings hit, generating memorable characters and stand-out performers. However, Michaels would not be the only member of the old guard to return: original writers Al Frankenand Tom Davis would return as producers, and Jim Downey would be head writer. Fans and critics welcomed Michaels and many of the original producers and writers back, calling it a return to the show's roots.
1985-1986 cast
Michaels opted to follow Ebersol's lead from the previous season, hiring a mixture of established and younger actors for his ensemble. He hired
Academy Awardnominee Randy Quaid, best known for his work in " The Last Detail" and " National Lampoon's Vacation", as well as Joan Cusackand Robert Downey Jr.Milestones included the first black female regular, Danitra Vance(a young woman named Yvonne Hudsonhad been a featured player in 1980 and appeared in uncredited bit parts from 1978 to 1980), Terry Sweeney, the first openly gay cast member, and Anthony Michael Hall, yet another fresh face from Hollywood, who appeared with Quaid in "Vacation" and starred in " The Breakfast Club" earlier that year. At 17, he was the youngest cast member ever. Rounding out the cast were unknowns: stand-up comedians Dennis Millerand Damon Wayansand improv comedians Nora Dunnand Jon Lovitz. Don Novello, another member of the old guard, would also return as his popular Father Guido Sarduccicharacter. Miller, who performed in relatively few sketches (and even fewer as the years went by), became known for bringing his stand-up wit to "Weekend Update," becoming the most memorable anchor since Chevy Chase back in 1975.
With the exceptions of Miller, Lovitz, and Dunn, the new cast failed to connect with audiences. Michaels' gamble on a young, "
brat pack" approach may have made the show seem more hip, but many of the regulars were better actors than comedians. Michaels angered most of his cast by ending the season with a sketch in which the cast (playing themselves) get caught in a fire, and Michaels chooses to rescue only Lovitz (who had connected with audiences due in part to his popular characters the Master Thespian and the Pathological Liar with the catchphrase "that's the ticket!"). The writing staff, composed of newcomers and veterans from the first five seasons had failed to collaborate with the new talent as they had during Michaels' first tenure. At the end of the 1985- 1986season NBC briefly canceled "SNL", but eventually opted to give Michaels six episodes in the fall to turn things around.
Return to form
Of the entire cast, only Dunn, Lovitz, and Miller returned when the 1986-1987 season rolled around. For his next crop of regulars, Michaels returned to his original tactic of assembling a strong ensemble of relative unknowns, led by
Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Victoria Jackson, and Kevin Nealon. Although the new lineup contained some of the best actresses since the show's early seasons, there were reportedly some dramatic behind-the-scenes ego battles, and tensions eventually forced out Nora Dunn. Victoria Jackson has been highly critical of Hooks and especially Dunn, who was romantically involved with Michaels at the time.Fact|date=February 2007
The first show of the 1986-1987 season opened with Madonna, host of the previous season opener, telling the audience that the entire 1985-1986 season had been a "horrible dream," just as "Dallas" had done a few weeks earlier (marking the second time J.R. Ewing and company were parodied during a tumultuous time on "SNL"). Audiences were thrilled, NBC gave "SNL" only thirteen shows to turn it around, but the show rebounded almost immediately. Michaels pulled out all the stops that season, producing some of the best shows ever (in particular, shows 4-6 with Sam Kinison / Lou Reed; Robin Williams / Paul Simon; Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Martin Short/ Randy Newman).
With the new cast, "SNL" began to revive and gain renewed popularity thanks to Michaels' inspired casting decisions, vastly improved writing and increasingly on-target political satire and pop culture parodies. Sadly, one of the best seasons, 1987-1988, was cut short by a writers' strike.
Gilda Radnerhad been penciled in to host the season finale that spring, but by 1989 her cancer had returned and she died within the year.
Phil Hartman
The urbane, smooth-voiced Hartman became one of the show's longest-serving cast members. Hartman had originally worked as a graphic designer; among his credits is the band logo for
Pocoand the cover of the hit 1975 album " America's Greatest Hits." Turning to theatre, he became a member of The Groundlings, where he met Paul Reubens, which led to him co-writing Reubens' cult 1985 film " Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and appearing on his popular Saturday morning show " Pee-Wee's Playhouse". When he left "SNL" in 1994, he and Kevin Nealon were the longest-serving cast members in the show's history (eight seasons), surpassed only by Tim Meadowsand Darrell Hammond(in his thirteenth season)
Notable recurring sketches and characters from 1986-1990
The shows throughout the 1986-1990 period featured some of the best-loved recurring sketches and characters in "SNL" history, including pathological liar Tommy Flanagan (Lovitz), the Sweeney Sisters (Dunn and Hooks as a low-rent vocal duo), and the speech-impaired trio of Frankenstein (Hartman), Tonto (Lovitz), and Tarzan (Nealon), as well as Toonces the Driving Cat (a sketch featuring a Victoria Jackson character who owns a cat that can drive a car), Lovitz's otherworldly Mephistopheles (complete with Halloween devil costume and plastic
trident) and the Schwarzenegger-like Austrian bodybuilders Hans and Franz(Carvey and Nealon). Carvey also gained renown for his scowling, ultra-conservative " Church Lady" character, and even more so for his brilliant impersonation of U.S. Vice-President and eventual President George H. W. Bush.
Dana Carvey
Bolstered by strong scripts penned by the writing team, Carvey's Bush impression was a notable advance on earlier ventures in this vein, and helped set a new benchmark for this aspect of the show's political satire. "SNL's" strongest period of political parody before this was the 1976-1979 era, when
Dan Aykroydappeared frequently as both former U.S. President Richard Nixon(alongside John Belushias Henry Kissinger), and then current President Jimmy Carter. While Aykroyd's impersonations marked successful efforts to bring well-known political figures to life on the show, the only other well-remembered political impersonation from "SNL's" 1970s period (or any other period before the 1986-1987 season) was Chevy Chase's slapstick parody of President Gerald Ford. Chase's impersonation of Ford was popular with audiences, but made no attempt to create an accurate impression of Ford's character or essay any in-depth political satire — his sketches simply lampooned Ford's renowned clumsiness and consisted of Chase falling down a lot.
Carvey's Bush impersonation was "SNL's" most sophisticated yet, and together with Hartman's hilarious send-up of President
Ronald Reagan, they allowed for the most fruitful and successful period of political parody on "SNL." Aykroyd himself often returned in guest appearances on the show throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s to impersonate Republican primary candidate Bob Dole, while Jon Lovitzappeared frequently in late '80s episodes as Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis. Carvey's appearances as President Bush grew so popular that the former President himself made a cameo appearance in 1994 when Carvey hosted the show, lightheartedly taking Dana to task.
Mike Myers
A major cast development came in 1988-1989, with the mid-season recruitment of young Canadian comic Mike Myers, who, like many cast members ever since 1975, had been recruited from the
Second Citystage show. A versatile and inventive comedian with a gift for accents and a lifelong love of Monty Pythonand British comedy, he introduced several classic characters during this era, including "Lothar of the Hill People" and ultra-pretentious German arts show host "Dieter". He also formed a strong partnership with Carvey, which revisited the magic of the classic Aykroyd-Belushi pairing. Beginning almost upon his arrival on the show, Myers, together with Carvey, created and performed one of "SNL's" most popular and successful recurring sketches ever, " Wayne's World". The sketch would go on to inspire two successful spin-off movies in 1992 and 1993, which in turn led to a plethora of screen comedies inspired by or based on "SNL" sketches throughout the 1990s.
The Andrew Dice Clay hosted episode
In Spring, 1990 proved to be a rocky finale for one of the show's most underrated cast members. Nora Dunn boycotted a show hosted by extremely controversial comedian
Andrew Dice Clay. NBC fired her and a series of ugly charges and counter-charges were lobbied between Lorne Michaels and Dunn. Many felt that Dunn cared more about garnering publicity than standing up for women's rights, but others took her side and viewed Clay's appearance as an all-time low. After the 1989-1990 season, Jon Lovitz left the show with the intent of focusing on a film career.
These departures marked the first incidents of turnover on the show in nearly half a decade. While Lovitz's departure happened relatively quietly and without controversy, the Dunn/Clay incident seemed to be a sad harbinger for the turmoil which would mark much of the 1990s.
Season breakdown
1985-1986 season
Opening montage
This season also had two opening montages. The first lasted only four episodes, and--like the 1984 season--opened with a picture of the Statue of Liberty covered in scaffolding (the statue was under renovation that year in preparation for its centennial celebration). It then showed various still images of New York bordered with several triangular lines and post-card like decorations. Starting with the Tom Hanks/Sade episode on December 14, 1985, a new opening montage seemed to tell a story of sorts of a limo driving through New York, and eventually passing each cast member. At the end, the limo would approach 30 Rockefeller Plaza, and that particular weeks' host would then emerge from the backseat. Another version of the second montage exists that shows a plane landing just before the limo leaves the airport. The music during this opener would be used for almost a decade, with a slight change in 1994, and finally being replaced entirely for the 1995 season.

Al Franken(debut: March 22, 1986)
Don Novello
Dan Vitale(final: February 8, 1986)
Damon Wayans(final: March 15, 1986)
* Wayans is fired on March 15, 1986, (he was sick of the way the show treated him and camped up a "straight" character so that Lorne Michaels would fire him) However he was invited to perform a stand-up routine in the Season Finale episode later that May. Vitale, a little-used featured player who also served as a staff writer, is also pink-slipped at mid-season.
* At season's end Cusack, Downey, Hall, Quaid, and Sweeney are all axed. Danitra Vance quits because of her limited roles. Although each had his/her funny moments (Sweeney's Nancy Reagan impression was especially popular), the cast never seemed to come together as a cohesive unit.
* This season included the only "SNL" episode (unless one counts the "Who Shot C.R.?" episode from years earlier) to actually feature a continuing narrative thread linking the sketches together. In the opening sketch of an episode hosted by George Wendt, the cast is informed that NBC is turning the show over to respected director Francis Ford Coppola, in a bid for greater artistic merit. A brilliant director of feature films, Coppola turns out to be an incompetent TV director, resulting in a running gag in which each sketch is ruined in various ways by Coppola's bumbling. The cast finally quits in the final sketch when Anthony Michael Hall is injured in a war-sketch after Coppola decides to use real bullets to increase the sketch's sense of realism. During the closing credits, Wendt realizes just how much damage Coppola has done to "SNL's" reputation: the former producers of the show (actually played by Franken & Davis) have chosen to tend bar rather than continue watching Coppola's travesty.
1986-1987 season
Opening montage
This montage was used for two seasons, and is basically just video footage of each cast member racing the clock to get to what appears to be a casual night club.
Dana Carvey
Nora Dunn
Phil Hartman
Jan Hooks
Victoria Jackson
Jon Lovitz
Dennis Miller"Featuring"
A. Whitney Brown
Kevin Nealon
* This season provides a major cast overhaul which restores the show to critical acclaim and watercooler value. All players introduced in this season become long-running cast members and/or major stars. Even the middle ranked Kevin Nealon remains in the cast for 9 seasons, one of the longest-running stints for any cast member (he's bumped up to contract in the 1987-1988 season).
1987-1988 season
Opening montage
Same montage as the 1986 season with only two noticeable changes: 1) Kevin Nealon is added to full-fledged cast member status in the credits and 2) The host/musical guest photos shown during the montage and bumpers are now in black and white.
Dana Carvey
Nora Dunn
Phil Hartman
Jan Hooks
Victoria Jackson
Jon Lovitz

A. Whitney Brown
Al Franken
* This season is trimmed to only 13 episodes due to a writers' strike. It is the one of the three shortest SNL seasons, 1980-1981 and 2007-2008 being the others.
1988-1989 season
Opening montage
This montage was also used for two seasons, and is just video footage with a light greenish-blue tint, of the cast members "caught" engaging in different tasks around areas of New York, intermingled with various footage of the city. During this season, the now-familiar "Saturday Night Live" circular logo appears for the first time.

A. Whitney Brown
Al Franken
* Mike Myers (debut: January 21, 1989)
Ben Stiller(debut: February 25, 1989)
* Ben Stiller and Mike Myers go on to become major film stars, but by very different routes. Myers remains on "SNL" for 6 years, as an increasingly popular attraction, while Stiller is fired in Spring 1989, and becomes a big draw by the late 1990s.
1989-1990 season
This season included "SNL"'s 15th anniversary special. Highly self-referential, this special was introduced by a sketch in which Garrett Morris tries to convince Chevy Chase not to introduce the show with one of his trademarked pratfalls, which he had done regularly in the show's first season. (Chase does the fall, but with a helmet; just prior to the fall, Chase passes behind a large prop column, and after the fall, "Chase" hobbles into a prop door and closes it for no thematic-related reason, only to re-emerge a moment later, remove his helmet, and utter the opening line. This makes is seem likely that a stuntman, his identity obscured by the helmet, actually did the fall, while Chase passed through the "column" to the backstage, ready to re-emerge after the stuntman's fall.) Tom Hanks' opening monologue poked fun at opening monologues (hinting at a future change in the trend, as the monologue would more and more often be less of a monologue and more of a sketch), while Buck Henry performed a monologue dealing with Steve Martin's inability to perform live (as Martin wailed uncontrollably in the background). The special also poked fun at the publicized fact that Eddie Murphy had refused to appear; he was instead represented by "Eddie Murphy's Entourage." And a tribute to Gilda Radner was edited to make it appear as if Radner was watching from the audience.
Opening montage
Same montage as the 1988 season with little notable changes, except that every episode in 1990 has a '15' in the center of the circle logo, commemorating the 15th anniversary of the show, and the final shot of a glam woman before crossfading to the establishing shot on home base was trimmed.

* Myers is bumped up to contract player at the start of this season.

* This season has the first real cast turmoil in nearly five years, as Lovitz quit suddenly between seasons to gain more film roles, and Dunn is fired after boycotting the show hosted by
Andrew Dice Clay.

I have had very good success with isagenix and would recommend it, but it does get pricey if you plan to stay with it. I like the shakes, I like using them for breakfast or a quick lunch/dinner. Flush pills worked well for me and I actually liked the cleanse days (not doing them but the day after I felt good). However, I know that some people have had adverse reactions and it did not work well for them.
It also may be tough to come off of it especially if you don't watch your portion sizes. The 30-day system is marketed as a cleanse but it's "weight loss in disguise as a cleanse" if you boil it down. It's a very forgiving system (I was able to cheat quite a bit and still lost about 20 pounds but I was lifting very heavy and running a lot) so it's easy to forget about those extra calories so when you stop the system and you continue the cheating, you would probably gain some weight back.
Either way, I would advise talking to your doctor and asking them if they would recommend it for you. Every person is different so you may have different reactions to different products. Good luck!!

I believe Herbalife has soy in their products. You definitely want to avoid soy as it has many dangers. Dr. Mercola has a good video about it. I am an Isagenix Executive and with all my clients I do an online health assessment to ensure they are getting the right program based on their needs and goals. Some people are not ready to go into a full cleanse for whatever reason and some will need more calories based on their levels of activity. If you do go with Isagenix, be sure that you have someone who will coach and support you through the program to ensure you get the best program for you. If you do not have a representative, I would be happy to assist you. All the best, Cari-Lee.

Tom Cruise Honour Mission
Directed by The Usual Suspects and Valkyrie scribe Christopher McQuarrie, Jack Reacher sees the titular moralist hero investigating the possible framing of an army sniper the only way he knows how- by grabbing injustice by the lapels and kneeing it in the crotch.
In our exclusive clip below, we see Reacher explain to the case's lead detective why he is the perfect man to investigate the mystery.
Initial criticism of Cruise's casting as the hugely popular literary character have been blown away- reviews for Jack Reacher have been almost universally positive. It appears that Tom Cruise may have yet another successful franchise on his hands.
Jack Reacher is in cinemas on Boxing Day.

Just saying,
If Paula Deen gets fired over saying the word nigger 20 years ago, I want The Boondocks and Black Dynamite canceled as well.
"Dumb ass cracker" and "Stupid honky" is just the same, yet those are two popular series that get no complaints about racial slurs.
I'd love to figure out who to write about that. I guess it's different and can't be argued that they say nigger on those shows, because they're black and use it in a different context. But cracker and honky? Nope, same concept.
Seems pretty odd to me. If Paula gets shit for saying nigger, then they should get shit for REGULARLY using the slurs honky and cracker against whites.

cians had followed a series of historical accidents. The question was how to keep the policies in place. For the Netherlands, he said, election time was drawing near, and the innovation platform had dropped out of the debates, replaced by urgent short-term concerns such as reducing taxes. A goal was to use evaluation tools and other data to make the point that investing in knowledge is as important as investing in other basic structures.
Professor Flamm said that the sums of money being spent on Flanders' innovation measures were large for the size of economy. He asked if there was political support for the programs to continue. Dr. Spyns noted that the commitment was part of a government agreement to spend an additional €60 million each year, at least until the current government's term ended in 2009, in addition to the investment in the innovation fund (VINNOF) of €150 million over 2 years. He also cited the publicity and awareness campaigns in the media. "The word innovation is everywhere," he said. "We are pushing its importance into the minds of people." Dr. Wessner asked Mrs. Moerman if she agreed. She said that Flanders has both the institutional structure and political consensus, and that she was certain the support was there. "I think that knowledge is linked with identity in Flanders," she said, "in the same way we have a commitment to defense. What we need more of is leadership to fine-tune the policy measures across the system. We haven't seen a lot of that."

Good to see that Music, Film, and the 3000 other industries that Sony is in aren't at the forefront of Hirai's agenda. I don't have much confidence though that he will be any-more effective than Stringer and I worry that as a lifetime Sony employee, he will have that disastrous Sony arrogance.
Nonetheless, I wish him luck as Sony has been good to its employees, well those not living in China anyway. But making their TV/smartphone businesses profitable is going to be quite the feat given that Sony has to compete with Korea's Chaebols and California's Apple.
|Alex Nichiporchik
Feels like Sony needs to pull an Apple and drastically cut their amount of products, focusing on a few segments where they can really accelerate.
"Why are we making printers if we're not good at it?"
Sony is a good company with too may products. Many that go unnoticed by the average consumer. He should try and convince Sony to move in a direction that makes them lean and directional with their hardware. They should cut some of the fat and focus on the core values of their business.

With all the devices they make (including game systems, computers,mobile phones, TVs and audio systems) all that stuff needs to work well together .
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I remember reading that one of Sony's greatest weaknesses by the time Stringer came on board was that it was too divided , compartmentalized and contentious between its departments. That wasn't working anymore then and its sure not going to work now with platforms and "harmonious ecosystems" becoming a major selling point and differentiation factor.
Sony has the resources and the assets (including their game developers, music labels and film studios) to put out a very compelling product but they are playing catch-up now...bolder decisions to serve the consumer are needed, pure tech won't win the day anymore.

Ironbuds from Acoustic Forge - under $50 ecobuds
" I am tired of: throwing away earphones, wasting money, and destroying the environment. Ironbuds promised to be an answer to all three - imho they've cracked it. What is surprising is how good they sound. Been waiting a year for Acoustic Forge to release these. I posted in the forums about 8 months ago about them - but Thomas (the CEO) announced they were having some difficulties..." --intelegant
" Imagine the GR07 with a better refined and slightly more prominent treble, with the bass quantity, weight, and rumble toned down slightly. With that said, I suggest bassheads to look away (why would you be looking at a TWFK in the first place?). The bass is well controlled and will show up when called for, though obviously not enough to satisfy a basshead, but is adequate for me..." --Reomero
VSONIC GR02 Bass Edition
"Build quality: 4.5/5 Thin wire, but further more everything looks tight. Sound quality: 4/5 It's personal but this is my opinion: this IEM comes short on all fronts except bass and soundstage, from which the last is an obvious result of the use of ventilation holes in the back of the housings. The bass might even be overpresent for some (it is the Bass edition though), but the key fact for me..." --BlastAway
"I prefer the GR04 to my Visang GR02 and greatly prefer them to my Soundmagic PL50 (I don't like the PL50). This review is not going to get technical. The main purpose is to share my EQ settings which makes them sound more like my HD600 which is my reference headphone. In short: Great SQ for the money if you take 30minutes to EQ them. EQ settings: (from PlayerPro on Android OS). 0db..." --Rune3400
VSONIC GR04 Flagship Pro Audiophile Earphones
" Hidden amidst an array of confusing sister models, the Vsonic GR04 Pro Flagship Edition is one of the best values in IEM's. The Pro Flagship is second only to the much acclaimed GR07 in the Vsonic lineup; however at about half the price proves a far better value. Coupling intuitive pivoting tips with a reasonable balanced sound signature, the Pro Flagship deserves far..." --thecansmancan
VSonic GR06 Pro Dynamic Noise Isolation Earphones Earbuds
" This is my first ever review so bare with me. My background in iem and headphones in general is limited. Reference iem that I own and judged against the gr06 were jvc air cushion, klipsch image s2, meelec m16 and entry level sennheisers. Soundwise they just blew away every iem I had heard until now, everything sounds better got great bass, mids and highs. ..." --executioner
" VSonic GR07 is a great example of IEM strong because it has few flaws and almost all of these are possible to correct with a good equalizer. Bass is perfectly controlled, excellent texture, very well extended (-6 dB at 30 Hz with perfect seal), perhaps a bit warm due to high-bass boost (~250 Hz). No bass bleed is present. Mids can be slightly forward to slightly laid back depending on..." --AstralStorm
VSONIC GR07 Bass Editon
" Introduction VSONIC is a well-known name in audiophile circles, with rave reviews coming from their GR07 monitors, which have recently seen an upgraded Mark II version and, the version I'll be covering today, the Bass Edition. As a natural basshead, I was intrigued when I..." --TheGame21x
" I received my GR07 MK2 a few weeks back, and they have gone through the hundreds of hours supposedly required for burning in their bio-cellulase drivers. Having gotten over my new toy effect, I still enjoy them immensely, so I figured it's time for my first review. This is modeled after the reviews of legends like |Joker| and Swimsonny. I hope this helps you as much as they have..." --tzjin
"I bought this as a gift to my sister on her birthday. She lent it to me for a while so that I can test it to see how it is like. Delivery: I really have to applaud Lendmeurears for their wonderful service. Having bought from them before I am pretty impressed. Furthermore delivery was really quick, for my order arrived within two days (for I live in Singapore), to be honest I was expecting 3 to..." --kaixax555

"Glee" Episode 207 Recap: Darn those noisy bisexual primates of Borneo
Kurt, who we learn has been spending all his free time with Blaine (cue angel song and fluttering doves), takes a more devious approach to the problem, and asks Miss Holly Holliday, the substitute teacher who took over Mr. Schue's Spanish class, to take over Glee Club, too.
Miss Holliday, who is teaching her students to say "Lindsay Lohan has been in rehab five times" in Spanish, is at first reluctant. How, she asks Kurt, could you suggest such a thing?
Kurt gives her his patented glowing look, which we are seeing much more often now that he's met Blaine,and says that she subbed in his English class one day and he never forgot it.
That's when we get a flashback to Miss Holliday and friends performing… be still my heart… "Conjunction Junction."
It was perhaps the most awesome moment in the history of Glee except for when Brittany and Santana were making out and talking about scissoring, and possibly that time that Kurt's father said he loved him and threw Finn out, and okay, it was pretty cool when Sue Sylvester … okay. You get my point. It was an extremely great moment in Glee history, but not the greatest. As was when Kurt turned to one of his classmates and stated,"You smell homeless, Brett. Homeless."
Rachel is all a-twitter over Miss Holliday stepping in, but when she starts asking them what songs they'd like to do that Mr. Schuester never let them do (flashback to Mr. Schue saying, "Come on, guys. There has to be one Journey song we haven't done!"), they warm to her.
"There was that one Cee-Lo song," Puck says (I guess his days of singing only songs by Jews are long over), which is Miss Holliday's cue to launch into a sanitized version of his "F–k You," now sung as "Forget You."
Which really makes me wonder, if you have to dip the song in bleach before you can sing it, why not sing another song? And yes, I mean both "making the song cleaner" and "making the song whiter" when I use the word "bleach."
Although the sheer ecstatic joyfulness of watching Kurt dance, first with Holly and then, adorably, with Santana, is enough to make me forget I ever had a political or music-critical thought in my head. So, you know … carry on dancing.

Godly Sorrow Leading to Repentance
- Thursday, January 17, 2013
How sorry are you for the wrongs you have committed against others? This is a challenging question. Most of us are filled with rationalizations, excuses and explanations, rather than a straightforward, "I was wrong. I am sorry. I offer no excuses." Others need to see, hear and experience our sorrow for wrongdoing. Next time you harm another, take ownership of the harm you have caused, offering a God-felt apology according to Scripture. (2 Corinthians 7:10)

In elementary geometry, perpendicularity or the property of being perpendicular is the relationship between two lines which meet at a right angle. The property extends to other related geometric objects as well.
A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle.[1] Explicitly, a first line is perpendicular to a second line if 1) the two lines meet and 2) at the point of intersection the straight angle on one side of the first line is cut by the second line into two congruent angles. Perpendicularity can be shown to be symmetric, meaning if a first line is perpendicular to a second line, then the second line is also perpendicular to the first. For this reason, we may speak of two lines as being perpendicular (to each other) without specifying an order.
Perpendicularity easily extends to segments and rays. For example, we say a line segment is perpendicular to a line segment if, when each is extended in both directions to form an infinite line, these two resulting lines are perpendicular in the sense above. In symbols, we write to mean line segment AB is perpendicular to line segment CD.[2] The point B is called a foot of the perpendicular from A to segment , or simply, a foot of A on .[3]
A line is said to be perpendicular to a plane if it is perpendicular to every line in the plane that it intersects. Note that this definition depends on the definition of perpendicularity between lines.
Two planes in space are said to be perpendicular if the dihedral angle at which they meet is a right angle (90 degrees).
In fact, perpendicularity is one particular instance of the more general mathematical concept of orthogonality; perpendicularity is the orthogonality of classical geometric objects. Thus in advanced mathematics, the word perpendicular is sometimes used to describe much more complicated geometric orthogonality conditions, such as that between a surface and its normal.
Construction of the perpendicular[edit]
To make the perpendicular to the line AB through the point P using compass and straightedge, proceed as follows (see figure):
- Step 1 (red): construct a circle with center at P to create points A' and B' on the line AB, which are equidistant from P.
- Step 2 (green): construct circles centered at A' and B' having equal radius. Let Q and R be the points of intersection of these two circles.
- Step 3 (blue): connect Q and R to construct the desired perpendicular PQ.
To prove that the PQ is perpendicular to AB, use the SSS congruence theorem for ' and QPB' to conclude that angles OPA' and OPB' are equal. Then use the SAS congruence theorem for triangles OPA' and OPB' to conclude that angles POA and POB are equal.
In a Cartesian coordinate system[edit]
In a Cartesian coordinate system, if two lines are each not parallel to either of the coordinate axes, then the two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their gradients is −1.
In relationship to parallel lines[edit]
If two lines (a and b) are both perpendicular to a third line (c), all of the angles formed along the third line are right angles. Therefore, in Euclidean geometry, any two lines that are both perpendicular to a third line are parallel to each other, because of the parallel postulate. Conversely, if one line is perpendicular to a second line, it is also perpendicular to any line parallel to that second line.
In the figure at the right, all of the orange-shaded angles are congruent to each other and all of the green-shaded angles are congruent to each other, because vertical angles are congruent and alternate interior angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines are congruent. Therefore, if lines a and b are parallel, any of the following conclusions leads to all of the others:
- One of the angles in the diagram is a right angle.
- One of the orange-shaded angles is congruent to one of the green-shaded angles.
- Line 'c' is perpendicular to line 'a'.
- Line 'c' is perpendicular to line 'b'.
Graph of functions[edit]
In the 2-dimensional plane, right angles can be formed by two intersected lines which the product of their slopes equals to −1. More precisely, defining two linear functions: y1 = a1x + b1 and y2 = a2x + b2, the graph of the functions will be perpendicular and will make four right angles where the lines intersect if and only if a1a2 = −1. However, this method cannot be used if the slope is zero or undefined (the line is parallel to an axis).
For another method, let the two linear functions: a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0. The lines will be perpendicular if and only if a1a2 + b1b2 = 0. This method is simplified from the dot product (or generally, inner product) of vectors. In particular, two vectors are considered orthogonal if their inner product is zero.

$10,000 fine
there wasthe a discussion on refr leak and its said a $10,000 fine to blow out refr into atmosphere . that also meant you would get fined if you went on a call and they had a leak in system and you just refilled system with refri
and left. my ? is do you still get fined if the custumer does not want you to fix the leak because cant afford it? so now you knowingly know theres a leak how does this work can the tech be in trouble after all he cant make them fix it
Good question but, I thing your reading too much into it.
As I understood it, the tech must take reasonable precautions and efforts to prevent freon leakage into the atmosphere.
A fine would be imposed if the tech intentionally released freon into the atmosphere.
I've never seen a fine levied before, for either act and I don't think recharging a system would fall under this criteria. Again, who's going to report it?
I'd would like to see what others think and how the rules are interpreted.
of every pound we use and fill out reports. The gov. does not have enough
people to enforce these paper trails. The gov. came out with these fines and they were hoping that the public would watch us dealers and report us, and the gov. would pay the public for every one they report. To prove that we are dumping, they would have to have it all on film. So all these rules
really are hard to enforce.
I would think the amount of refg. gas released from house air con. leaks
would be a small amount compared to the amount released every day from auto crashes.
Then we have volcanoes that release some of the same chemicals that are found in the refg. gas, and we sure can't stop them. Paul
hey thanks guys for your input i really appreciate it

Danielle Lawrie on Being Back Between the Lines
I thought it only made sense to write a blog about me being back in between the lines! Man oh man does it sure feel good!! It was a whirlwind to get here and try and pack for Madison, as well as myself! There were 3 giant bags, a diaper bag, a purse, and one more bag, including her stroller, car seat, car seat adapter! I never realized how organized you need to be until I had a baby and we were going away for 3 months! It is pretty overwhelming.
I'm lucky enough to have my mom down here, to help out with the baby, and travel with us to quite a few places. It would not be possible without her help, that is for sure. We are also lucky enough to have an owner as generous as Don, who is allowing for all of this to happen!
Practice started a couple days ago, and I was really excited to get back out there. Not only was I excited to start training again with a team, but it was just great being around teammates again, and having something in common again with people! Practices have been going well. We have been throwing bullpens, and finally through live to hitters today. We have also done a good chunk of defense, as well as a bit of conditioning added in there. I can't even explain how great it feels to be back. We keep practicing for the next week and a bit and then our season kicks off May 30!
I feel so thankful to be back, and I can't wait until we start games! Majority of our games will be live streamed at www.usssapride.com so please check them out and watch!!
Thanks again for everyone who takes the time to read these and check out my video blogs! I appreciate it!

We had just met Ana Elena Mendez the day we arrived in Merida, the capitol city of the Yucatan. But such is the hospitality of Mexico that the next morning my friend Lisbeth and I are sitting in the dining room of Casa Lecanda, her elegant and exquisitely restored 19th century mansion, sipping rich full bodied coffee from Chiapas, munching on barras which are like baguettes, cuernos (horn shaped rolls) and conchas or sweet rolls while marveling at, well, just everything.
"It's so beautiful," we say, repeatedly.
But it wasn't always so. When Ana found this Yucatecan home several years ago, parts of the roof had fallen in, birds were nesting in the rooms and the courtyards, now so well manicured with palms, red flowered Chak Kuyché trees and ferns surrounding the swimming pool, fountain, walls covered with beautiful climbing bougainvillea, small sitting areas tucked away behind foliage and even a third courtyard with Merida made hammocks for resting, wasn't quite what it is now.
"It was a jungle," she tells us. "You couldn't see the end of the building."
Which may have been a blessing.
Owned by the same family since it was built, the house, located in the city's historic center and just two blocks from the elegant Paseo Montejo, a stately boulevard lined with 19th century mansions and cosmopolitan restaurants and boutiques, had stood empty for over 20 years. And here, in the humidity and heat of the northern most point of the Yucatan Peninsula, that's long enough for some serious decay.
But that didn't detour Ana. Originally from Mexico City, she'd moved to Merida, the pre-Colonial capital city of the state of Yucatán, Mexico, after living in San Diego for 20 years and before that London and Italy.
"A friend brought me here," says Ana, who always looks regal but pproachable with her sleek well coiffed black hair, fashionable clothes and friendly smile.
It was, as they say, love at first sight. Able to look beyond the ruins, Ana instead appreciated the high ceilings, large wood doors (imported in the late 1800s from New Orleans), windows that could be shuttered against the intense heat, marble archways, original French antique tiles and hard wood floors.
Working in tourism, she had decided that Merida needed a small and intimate boutique and so she and her son, Stefano Marcelletti, worked with a team of architects during the renovation. Their goal was to maintain the casa's authenticity by incorporating its original materials and elements including woodwork, clay floors, thick stone walls and decorative finishes as well as to retain the original Meridian style with flourishes of European luxury which was very common during what is known as the golden age of the city's sisal barons.
Ana's gamble paid off. After arriving home, I Googled and found that Casa Lecanda Boutique Hotel was recognized as a 2013 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award winner in the "Home Suite Homes" category and Travel & Leisure magazine featured the hotel in their November 2013 issue.
But it isn't only the architecture that Lisbeth and I marvel at. The menu offers many authentic Yucatan dashes. We start with glasses of epazote juice, a dark green herb popular in Yucatecan cookery and often used in beans dishes because it helps counteract the gas sometimes produced by the legumes. Its flavor is intense, sharp and almost lemony and with all the emphasis on green drinks now days, must be healthy as well.
"For me the Yucatecan cuisine stands apart from others as it is truly a local cuisine," Ana says. "All the ingredients used in its preparations are grown locally and differ from other parts of Mexico. It is very colorful and a blend of intense rich flavors such as recado rojo, habanero and lima. All the typical dishes--cochinita, papazules-- are served the same way in each household regardless of social status."
Cochinita is a slow roasted pork dish, papazules are warm tortillas filled with chopped hard cooked eggs and then covered with a pumpkin seed sauce. Recado rojo is a red achiote sauce, habanero, a hot pepper and lima or lime.
I have ordered the Yucatecan eggs which Ana tells me are made with three different local ingredients.
" The eggs are scrambled eggs with a sausage from nearby Valladolid," she says," along with a native plant called chaya and a special cheese called El Gallo Azul."
The dish, I learn, goes with black smashed beans on the side—thank goodness for the epazote.
Yucatecan Eggs
For the beans:
1 cup canned black beans
2 habanero chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 sprigs epazote or cilantro
1 medium white onion, cut into thick slices
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 sprigs epazote or cilantro
1 medium white onion, cut into thick slices
1 pound plum tomatoes, cored
Kosher salt, to taste
5 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for frying
4 corn tortillas
1 small, ripe plantain or large banana, peeled and cut into ¼″ slices
4 eggs
2 to four ounces chorizo
2 ounces Gouda or Edam, cut into ½" strips
½ cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed and slightly cooked
¼ cup crumbled queso Cotija (available at Hispanic food markets and often local grocery stores)
Purée beans, 1 Chile, epazote, ¼ the onion, and ¼ cup water in a blender until very smooth, at least 2
minutes. Heat lard in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add bean purée, and cook, stirring constantly,
until thickened to a loose paste, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set beans aside.
Wipe skillet clean, and return to heat; add remaining chile, onion quarters, and tomatoes, and cook, turning as needed, until charred all over, about 14 minutes for chile and tomatoes, about 12 minutes for
onions. Transfer to a blender along with salt, and purée until very smooth, at least 2 minutes. Return skillet to heat along with 3 tablespoons oil; when hot, pour salsa into skillet, and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
Pour oil to a depth of 2" in a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, and heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Add tortillas one or two at a time, and fry, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and set aside.
Add plantain or banana slices to oil, and fry until tender and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Wipe skillet clean, and return to medium heat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add eggs to skillet, and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for over easy.
Place tortillas on plates top each with an egg, pour salsa over the eggs and add Gouda or Edam slices on top, then peas; and sprinkle with Cotija. Place fried plantain or banana slices around tortillas. Serve with black beans on the side.
