What, me worry?
Kerry has assured me that the threats are overexaggerated.
*Leaps under desk*
What happened? Null and Void! Don't do that!
This is the closest we will get in any Official word:
Special Operations Takes Front-Line Role in Anti-Terror War
U.S. special operations troops have become a key military weapon in the war on terrorism, DoD's top special operations official told U.S. House of Representatives' members here March 11.
Special operators are "taking the war to the terrorists before it can be fought on our own soil or that of our allies," Thomas W. O'Connell said in testimony before the House Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee. O'Connell is the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict.
If nothing more happens than the dam breaking in Mississippi and the pipe bombs going off in mail boxes, I will be THRILLED.
And we all owe these guys a big group hug.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Fine, don't post! :)
From their viewpoint, everything they can do to promote violence against their fellow møøselimbs is a plus.
It increases their pool of warriors to draw from.
It hastens the day the whole world is møøselimb.

Thank you first and foremost for the on-going support we have received from yourselves as committed followers of our project.
It really means a lot to us that many of you have made numerous donations to the cause…and let me assure you of the fantastic difference this is making!
In terms of education in South Africa, President Jacob Zuma has made his vision clear – addressing a Community Development Workers conference this month he stated that the government are serious about turning schools into centres of excellence, elevating education to its rightful place in society and being seen as an essential service.
He stated: "The less citizens of a country are educated, the less the development. The more citizens (are) educated, the more developed (a country is)."
Yet this comes at a time where 12,000 learners in the Eastern Cape (where our project operates) had their school placed under lock down – parents taking action against the under-funded schools leaving classes of up to 90 pupils in unsafe environments, with teachers refusing to work under such conditions.
Three of our older boys were affected by a temporary closure of their school, at a time where their studies remain central to their future development!
I took the opportunity to take them to a careers exhibition, where their ambitions to do social work, graphic design and become a pilot really was such music to the ears…and it is of course our vision that with the right financial support we can help uplift the young people in our care and try our best to make these dreams a reality.
Of course where we have the right financial backing, the children will not have to sit in a school that suffers these problems, and this is one of numerous reasons why it has been a huge blessing for us to be included in GlobalGiving UK's education appeal.
Since January we have been thankful to receive over £800 as part of this campaign! As a small charity this support makes a MASSIVE and DIRECT difference to us, being 13% of what is needed for our whole project! And with just over £2000 to go to reach our ultimate aim, we are hopeful that this will give us the kick start we need to complete our goal in 2013!
Please share, send and tweet the word around…let's see what we can achieve if we ALL work together!
Do not hesitate to contact me directly for any further information (email@example.com),

Joe Haden has grown up.
The Cleveland Browns cornerback is a different person in a different place this season, and the ways he's acting and preparing and living have made him a different player.
Haden has always been good; now he's great. Marriage and a suspension have brought perspective; an increased professionalism has brought results.
"I think it's mostly, honestly, the way I'm living," Haden said as the Browns prepared for the Steelers this weekend. "Just me and my wife, I have a really good relationship with her. We're doing super well just relaxing all the time. I've been studying the Bible a whole lot more and I'm just really comfortable with myself and how my life is going and honestly that's what really got me here."
Haden acknowledges, too, that his four-game suspension a year ago in Weeks 2-5 was a wake-up call. That suspension contributed significantly to an 0-5 start, and the Browns never recovered. As the season continued, he had issues with being late for practice after being out the night before.
It played into an image Haden did nothing to quash. In his first few seasons, Haden was known as much for being seen at Cavs games and on TV as he was for interceptions. His play never matched the celebrity he gained in Cleveland merely by being a first-round draft pick.
He said it wasn't that he got caught up in being a celebrity, but that he was suddenly young and wealthy.
"You went from having nothing in your pocket to you got a lot of money and you can do what you want," Haden said. "You can enjoy yourself, so that's what you're going to do for sure. I mean there's nothing wrong with it. It's all in moderation and [you] make sure you don't get in trouble, but it's a big life-changing experience.
"You're just sitting there and you become a millionaire. You've got to put things in perspective."
Perspective arrived as he reflected on the suspension, which he said was for offseason use of Adderall. That was a wake-up call that Haden might have been taking his talent on a destructive path.
"That really slowed me down and helped me settle down and made me become a better professional …" he said. "You always get hit with curve balls. Everything happens for a reason, and I think the whole suspension thing got me to where I am now."
Where he is now is in a different level from his previous play, and a special level in the league.
His attention to detail. His stature with his teammates. His candor and willingness to discuss things with the media. All are indicators of an attitude that started in the offseason when defensive coordinator Ray Horton challenged Haden to eliminate the word "potential" from the suggestion that Haden had Pro Bowl potential.
To remind himself, Haden keeps a map of Hawaii in his locker. For some, that would be boastful. The way Haden carries himself, though, it's a humble reminder of where he wants to be.
His offseason marriage to Sarah Mahmoodshahi was the next step. Haden still enjoys life; his wedding was a lavish event at the Fountainbleu on Miami Beach. But he's more properly focused.
"It's just the whole way of living," he said. "I've just been chilling. Just chilling, resting up and being with my girl and praying a lot more and honestly just the way of life changed me.
"That's the truth."
Combine that with the fact Haden is in his fourth year and can use the knowledge he's gained the right way. Haden is playing as well as any cornerback in the league.
Sunday he had a career game with two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown. Bengals standout A.J. Green had two catches for seven yards, career lows. Whether it's Green, Mike Wallace or Dwayne Bowe, Haden has blanketed the top receiver on the opposition. The next challenge will be Antonio Brown, who has 74 catches for 952 yards and five touchdowns.
"I don't believe that any corner is playing better, at least that we have faced," said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. "He's a very talented player whose experience is catching up with his talent."
"You'd have to really look with a fine tooth comb to pick out things he's not doing well," Horton said.
It's not hyperbole.
Haden deserves a ton of credit. He took a negative from last season and used it to become more of a pro. He's accepted the responsibility his experience and position demand. It's hard to think of one player who has grown more in any single year than Haden has from last year to this. If he maintains this approach, January will be the first of many visits to Hawaii -- something that can only benefit the Browns.
"I'm just in a whole different place," he said. "And it's finally really starting to click."

A Bag of Hammers
2011 Directed by Brian Crano
A con is easy. Family is hard.
Two misfit best friends incapable of growing up, whose direction is tested by an abandoned child, worn beyond his years; together they invent the family they've always needed.
Popular reviewsMore
What starts out as a silly buddy comedy turns into something much richer and complex. Ben (Jason Ritter) and Alan (Jake Sandvig) are best friends in their twenties who pose as valets, steal the cars from their unwitting clients, and hand them off to Ben's uncle for money. When they rent a house across the street from where they live to a downtrodden single mother and her son Kelsey, they are suddenly thrust into adulthood as they are forced to react to some pretty dire circumstances. The real catalyst to them getting their shit together is Alan's sister Melanie (Rebecca Hall) discovering that things are really bad for Kelsey and he needs help. Beyond…
One of my favorites of SXSW of that year. A nice little indie about 2 thieving 20 somethings who end up taking care of a neglected child after his mother kills herself in the guys garage-turned-appartment. It has some funny moments with equal parts drama.
A lovely find. What starts out as a NAPOLEON DYNAMITE-esque odd comedy turns into such a sweet and heartfelt film. Loved it.
A few odd camera angles, but overall delightful.
I'm a little surprised at how well reviewed this film is on here. It's by no means bad, but I think I must have missed what all these other people saw in it.
I was on board from the start. The two main leads are hilarious and develop a pretty entertaining dynamic between each other. Funny premise too. Two dudes who steal cars for a living, by pretending to be valets in places like cemeteries. All the pieces were there in the first half hour for something great...then it just kind of took a dump.
My main issue here is that I just didn't fully buy the premise when it took its melodramatic swerve midway through. It felt forced, as…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Two best friends, who haven't really grown up (they steal cars for a living) – get a wake up call when circumstances force them to take care of their 12 year old neighbor. Jason Ritter is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. I loved him in "Peter and Vandy" and "Parenthood." I want to see more of him. I have never seen Jake Sandvig before and he was very likable. Rebecca Hall is always great.

Sadly funny
Hitting all the appropriate marks and creating a vehicle for unknowns like Jake Sandvig and Jason Ritter, "A Bag of Hammers" may veer off into pure mimicry of Wes Anderson, but if you're going to imitate, you might as well imitate the best. There is deep emotion in this Indie that reaches the surface a hand full of times and every time it does, its like seeing a gorgeous dolphin coming up for air. Yes, Crano's debut is sometimes sloppy and sometimes predictable, but for the most part, it's completely enjoyable, helped strongly by cameos from the uber talented Amanda Seyfried and Rebecca Hall.
The movie is called A Bag of Hammers and then literally a character buys a bag of hammers.
it's funny, then sad, then a whole lot sadder, then happy. decent movie, the writing wasn't fantastic but it wasn't bad either, average performances from unknown actors. I won't say it was a great movie, but it effectively touches some delicate ground and I would watch it again.
Heart-warming comedy about these two dudes who steal for a living, but soon find themselves caring about this little kid. Charming is definitely the word.
Oh my god what a depressing film. Don't get me wrong the performances are mostly good in their roles and the story is emotionally captivating, but there was not really any positive aspects of this film really, but the message is a fine one and in its own way it is an okay film, i just thought there would be more comedy in it;-)
Bit different and quirky, its heart is in the right place. Not great but certainly good enough to watch once.
I think Jason Ritter is a great actor. I just wish he would get an opportunity to really do something good.
Brian Crano's movie tries so very hard to please. Maybe too hard as it ends up tripping itself up from beginning to end. Despite Ritter and the rest of the cast -- all of whom are "game" to offer their best.
It just never works out.

Product Description:
Albert and Allen Hughes' DEAD PRESIDENTS takes place in the early 1970s, the nation's supposed time of recovery from the social upheaval of the '60s. At the time, musicians--particularly soul artists--were edgier, more likely to create music that addressed previously ignored societal ills; even the love songs of the era were daring in their structure and sound. The music found on the soundtrack of the gritty film falls directly into the period spanning 1967 to 1974, when R&B was experiencing this radical phase prior to the arrival of disco.
The artists the Hughes brothers chose include many trailblazers who took black music to the "next level." Sly & The Family Stone, who check in with "If You Want Me To Stay," were forefathers of funk who fused the positive messages of the love generation with an amalgam of soul, gospel and jazz. Elsewhere, Curtis Mayfield's grim depiction of ghetto life ("If There's A Hell Below") is balanced by the O'Jays' message of hope and brotherhood ("Love Train").
Love songs also went from innocent platitudes to a more aggressive style, soaked in desperation and desire. Some artists went the way of lengthy orations (Isaac Hayes' covers of "Walk On By" and "The Look Of Love"), while others coupled smooth funk with lush orchestration (Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up") to deliver messages that reeked of champagne and silk sheets.

Manufacturer Creative Bath
Bring a taste of natural peace and harmony into your watery inner sanctum with this mystical forest motif by Creative Bath. When art is not enough we must return to the source. Return to the wellspring of inspiration far from mankind's footprint. Nature! In all its gentile and menacing glory! The mighty forests out of which mankind emerged millennia ago will always remain a place where we can return to reflect on our direction and check our priorities. It will always remain the great respite from irrationality and the quiet teacher of inquiring truth seekers.
We surround our homes with images of wild nature to remind ourselves of the subtle lessons and fleeting notions of peace which are too often forgotten. Decor like this helps to keep us receptive to the enduring lessons and tranquility of the forest and of all wild nature. It helps us maintain a rational perspective between ourselves and our place in the universe.
With one bare foot step this rug conjures up images of supple moss covering the forest floor. It's part of the greater Sylvan bath collection which is a great way to bring some much needed wild nature into the heart of your home.
100% Polyester with latex backing.

Hello Bunnies!
Hello Bunnies!
Apr 08, 2007 11:41AM PST
April XVI: Bye-bye furniture. April XVIII: Bye-bye Florida!
Luckily the 16th is the day after the new seasons of Sopranos and Entourage have their second episodes so I won't be too upset to see the tellies get packed and shipped. So about two days without anything, except my laptop that I'll be taking on the plane so at least there's that to entertain me at 2 in the morning when I can't fall asleep. And believe me, I have it filled with tons of crap to watch in those two days, plus more for however long it takes for the furniture to arrive in CO (about 4 or 5 days). I imagine I'll get through a good bit of Mushishi and Wolf's Rain and lots of Dragonball Z. Though while I'm still here I probably won't have much time for that since I'll want to lime with my friends as much as I can before I go.
Oh, so this week on DBZ...
1-57 are done, done, done. Saiyan Saga now in the past and I'm about 30% done with the Freeza Saga. Goku is training up in the spaceship on the way to Namek while Vegeta has almost all the Dragonballs, and a certain bunch of performers are well on the way thanks to Freeza's order. I never liked how cheap Captain Ginyu was by switching with Goku using his body against him so I'm waiting for that part to come and go. Gosh it's crazy how fast I'm getting through it all, compared to how I used to be. But now I guess there's less anime on my list so it's not like I'm all over the place with 30 different ones like usual. Now it's just 12 anime (mostly old) and 4 dramas (looking into 2 new ones). Still haven't really gotten into any new anime. Just taking it easy I suppose.
Hajime no Ippo
Magunochi Ippo is an ordinary high school student in Japan. Since he spends most of his time away from school helping his mother run the family business, he doesn't get to enjoy his younger years like most teenagers. Always a target for bullying at school (the family fishing business grants him a distinct odor), Ippo's life is one of hardship. One of these after-school bullying sessions turns Ippo's life around for the better, as he is saved by a boxer named Takamura. He decides to follow in Takamura's footsteps and train to become a boxer, giving his life direction and purpose. Ippo's path to perfecting his pugilistic prowess is just beginning...
After 76 episodes it's finally done! I so very much enjoyed it. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes action, drama, boxing, and even comedies because it's quite funny as well. The director of it also had his hand in Trigun, Black Lagoon, and Street Fighter Alpha. Might have mentioned this before, but my family is very bonkers for boxing so I grew up watching it, learning about this and that, getting familiar with the fighters and so on - so naturally I was attracted to this right away. Also I'd never seen a boxing anime before so I was intrigued with the freshness of it. It's very exciting and Ippo, while doltish as can be, is a really great character to watch. I love the never-give-up attitude he has. I still have a movie to watch along with a spinoff OVA for one of the other characters so I'm not all done quite yet. Check it out if you have the time.
Vash the Stampede is a gunman on the run with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head which has made it difficult for him to go anywhere without being chased and shot at. Every town he ever visits ends up being destroyed because of his pursuers, but miraculously no one ever gets killed. Meryl and Milly are two insurance agents that have been sent to find Vash the Stampede and keep him under surveillance so no more damage is caused. Meryl, who leads the pair, refuses to believe that the man they have met can possibly be the legendary gunman. This spikey haired, gangly, young man is extremely friendly, a pacifist, hates blood and suicide, absolutely loves donuts, and is a dork and a crybaby (far from a notorious outlaw). But there is more to Vash and his past than meets the eye.
Yes I managed to go even older than HnI. About '98 I believe. I started it a long while ago too, with over a year in between the first and second half of the series. Just kinda forgot about it. Anyway I really liked it! Has a cool futuristic-western vibe to it. Great music too, and the main characters are so funny and lovable. I'd always be smiling and laughing when they were goofing around being their silly selves. As it came closer to the end it got a lot more serious, but still equally entertaining. Made me wonder about a lot of things actually. Like Vash, even though he blows lots of stuff up (never people), really cares about every little living thing, even the ones that try to kill him. It was sweet but a bit hopeless since you can't very well save everyone every time. Like he wanted to save a butterfly from a spider when he was young but before he could move it his brother Knives killed the spider. Vash argued that both the insects could have lived but Knives said that one of them had to die since the spider must eat other insects to live. With humans Vash acts the same. Like even if his friends are in danger and he has to kill a bad guy to save them he still finds it so hard and wants to end it with everyone living. The world is not so perfect, but at least he tries. Great ending btw!
Reign Over Me
Former college roommates Charlie Fineman and Alan Johnson meet up again by chance on a Manhattan street corner. Five years after losing his family on 9/11, Charlie--once a successful dentist--has retreated from his life, and Alan is stunned to see the changes in his formerly gregarious friend. At the same time, Alan--who should be enjoying his beautiful wife, children and career--is overwhelmed by his responsibilities. Their rekindled relationship becomes a lifeline for the two men, who are both in need of a trusted friend at this pivotal moment in their lives.
Critically it didn't do very good but I sure liked it. I mean, it's not the best movie I've seen this year but it's certainly above average. First off the acting is great. I love Don Cheadle (See Hotel Rwanda) and Adam Sandler (See Punch-Drunk Love). I think this must have been Sandler's most dramatic role ever, and he plays the part very well (Reminded me of Bob Dylan for some reason). It's almost too sad sometimes though. I loved the moments where the two guys were having fun just hanging out. I would have liked more of that and less tears. It really made me feel more than ever for the people who lost family and friends on 9/11. On a happier note: I'd totally kick Don Cheadle's butt in Shadow of the Colossus! Hehe, also I'll have to get revenge on mom later because she saw it as well and we were talking about the song at the end and she said it's sung by The Who. While I believed they sang the original version, I know Eddie Vedder's voice when I hear it and thought it to be Pearl Jam, but noooo she said it was The Who again and again. Well I checked and I was quite right, so now I can use it against her the next time she challenges my musical wisdom ^__^
Ok enough silly reviews... oh I got Borat and Blood Diamond at Blockbuster yesterday. Seen Borat already but I think there's a little extra footage and I only saw the theatrical version once anyway. Blood Diamond had already finished it's theater appearances by the time I wanted to see it so that'll be all new to me. Hey look what's coming out next month! I'm totally gonna get it. Not sure if mentioning Blade II and Hellboy on the cover is such a good idea though. They weren't exactly great movies. The Devil's Backbone would have been a better choice. Apocalypto is also next month so maybe I can surprise mumzy with it. She loves that movie.
Oh I'm a bit sad now since I finished all my manga-wangas except for Berserk and Ai Yori Aoshi. I want to order more but I'll have to wait for CO. Don't want to risk the chance of them getting delayed and coming here when I've already gone. Also still extremely close to ordering a DS with Pokemon Diamond and FFIII but I'm always so hesitant to spend money. Especially $200. Imagine when the time comes to buy a PS3, hehe. I think I'll feel better about spending so much money when the Ratchet & Clank game comes out. Maybe by then it'll drop down by $100. First I just need to beat Rogue Galaxy and FFXII. On a random note: I can't believe I only just saw the new Linkin Park music video... it's major sugoi! I want May even more now!
Happy Easter! Now get out there and eat some eggs!

You are cruising right through DBZ lol. You'll kick the crap out of that plane ride for sure! oh yes you should definetly hang out with your friends. that would be all i do until i left.
I always liked how vash acted like a bumbling fool. but really was a super bad ass. ive never really watched much but enough to know that
I actually really wanted to see this new adam sandler movie. looked really neat. I like movies that put me in a somber mood? hmm i think thats the right word. movies like lost in translation.
Mmmm pokemon diamond lol its been awhile since i've played a pokemon title and this may be the reason to pick up the series once more. I always liked silver gold crystal the best because of 2 worlds and different times during the day. this feature was gone in leaf green fire red and the ruby and emerald ones. i guess there will be like 6+ different time periods in diamond and pearl.
Hmmm havent watched the linkin park vid either lol, and ya the ps3 is steep but you get what you pay for imo.
I hope the move is pleasant. Take care.
Wow ...Posted: Apr 08, 2007 12:00AM PST by badger340
the time for you big move is coming up quick.
I liked Trigun also, it's about time I marathon it again.
Haven't seen Linkin Parks new vid. Their new vid must be why Fuse showed their Tatoo Stories episode.
Hope your Easter is going well, and your is uneventful.
Hmm...Posted: Apr 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by Okoi-chan
Jed, yup yup! Not sure when I'll start episode 58 though 'cause once I do there's no stopping me, hehe. DBZ will totally make it a fun plane ride. Hai, there's much liming to be done before I go. Still gotta do my courses and help around the house though. About Trigun, I guess he's a bad ass like Jackie Chan is in Drunken Master. Acts all funny but actually wins most of the time.
For sure I'll see Reign Over Me again when it comes to DVD. It's that kinda movie that I could just leave on and go to sleep listening to it, hehe. Much like Lost In Translation in that sense, though I prefer Lost more. Because after all, for relaxing times, you gotta make it Sunatory time.
(Cutto, cutto, cutto!)
I haven't played a Pokemon game since Ruby. Really enjoy them though, and with the DS it should be bigger, look better, and play better. I can't really remember Silver, Gold, or Crystal. Too long ago and too many games to confuse them with. Do they have lots of badges? I remember one or more Pokemon games had way more badges to win than the other. Also I wonder what the difference is between Diamond and Pearl. Time periods?
I was in love with it after I saw it a second and third time. The new-ish sound kinda startled me. Oh and you also get what you paid for if you buy a building, and look how much those cost, hehe. I guess so though. Isn't too bad but I'd rather get two extra games with a $100 price drop. Well I'll probably blog once more before the move so don't get the confetti out just yet, but thanks.
Badger340, yes it does seem to be sneaking up on me quite fast. Yup, Trigun is great! Marathons I haven't really had since Cowboy Bebop. Maybe 9 episodes in a row though. The LP video is cool. Not too original with all the clips with destruction and sad things but still a fine video. It's on Youtube if you're interested. It's called "What I've Done". Hope you had a great easter too ^__^
95ss, and to you! Hehe. And thanks, I hope the move goes well. I saw Borat last night. I had to pause a few times 'cause I thought I might die laughing. The part after he was talking with the guys on street and he went to the hotel with his pants half pulled down and was like "we just a couple of pimps" was hilarious being said with his accent. Hellboy I thought was ok... maybe it's the way he looks that I find kinda turn-off-ish. I really don't like the third blade movie though. I can't agree with that, hehe. The first is the best (Stephen Dorf!) and the second is good as well.
...and tiringPosted: Apr 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sleepless_Pyro
You like Linkin Park too? Good stuff ^_^
Tons of crap to watch on a laptop? I know the feeling =P It takes 4-5 days for your furniture to arrive? How the heck are you going to sleep? Poor Okoi. "lime with my friends" a Trini term? We got Dragonball Tencaichi Budokai 2, the voices are really messed up. And oh, in Japan there was this DB show, but we're not sure where it fits in series wise, it only had Goku and his voice was high pitched. Any ideas?
Oh woah, is it really that good? Looks like you can really 'feel' the action from that animation.
*been meaning to finish Trigun* He really is too likeable, i remember the episode with the drunk who fixes guns, he was mean to Vash, yet he was always nice to him.
Have you seen the trailer for KH3? Now THAT looks like a great reason to buy a PS3, along with Ratchet&Clank and a couple of others. I highly recommend buying a DS, but you know how Nintendo fanboyish i am. Who doesn't want May, new LP album, Spider-man 3, and some fantastique games.
How was your Easter?
heyPosted: Apr 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by dragon1989
i hop that you had a happy easter day and i want to say yhat i whatch borat and i have that movie was too funny
have a nice day and see yaa
love and peace!!Posted: Apr 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by incrediblebrendan
haha i loved trigun, it was such a light-hearted show i couldnt help but feel happy watching it! things did get a bit serious toward the end(and a little odd), but the end was great and the show still finds itself in my dvd player every once in a while. let me know what you think of wolf's rain when you watch it, that was one i wanted to pick up and then forgot about! the characters were designed by the same guy who designed cowboy bebop's characters, my favorite anime, so i was pretty interested in seeing how that one turned out. and i saw that pan's labyrinth is coming out on dvd too! its already on my blockbuster qeue, to be added as soon as its available, cant wait! almost done with FFIII, im just kinda leveling up my one character until his job level is maxed out, i want to see what happens, then its curtains for that evil wizard in his tower! im coming to get you wizard, no wizards have ever survived any of my parties!lol ok, well hope you had a great easter! and have a good move, dont forget to pack anything! well, unless you dont want it i guess; then hide it somewhere odd in the house for the next people to find! with a weird message or something, the less sense the better lol
Pan's Labyrinth....Posted: Apr 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by miggidy
I can't wait to see this movie, I'm a big fan of Guillermo Del Toro. I agree, being that Blade II and DevilBoy are very different movies; it probably wasn't a good idea to throw them in the cover. Although I loved Blade II (one of the best sequels I've ever seen), The Devil's Backbone would've been more fitting. But then again, hardly anyone's seen the movie.
I just got around to finally watching Borat.
The deleted scenes were very funny!
I wonder why they were cut out from the movie....
Hi hi!Posted: Apr 09, 2007 12:00AM PST by Okoi-chan
Badger340, wow so a big day for you guys then. Sounds like a lot of fun. We never really do Easter too big by me due to the lack of family. When I was younger I used to do the whole egg hunt thing with family and friends but now I've graduated to hider, so the best chance I have of getting eggs is by stealing from the greedy kids, hehe. That's great that she'll be getting some DVDs. One of those movies I want to see but haven't gotten the chance yet.
Toby, I loovvee Linkin Park! One of my favorite current bands. Yup, tons of this and that on my lappy. I doubt I'll get through it all before the furniture gets to CO but that's ok. Hai, about 5 days to wait. Hmm well there's two blow-up beds that guests normally sleep on so that should be fine. Haha, yes to "lime" means to hang out. Also if you're a "maco" that means you're nosy and can't mind your own business, and if you got "lix" that means you got beat, and another is "bobolee", meaning stupid person. There's lots of Trini words to learn! The DBZ game you mentioned is for Wii yes? How do you mean the voices are messed up? I played the PS2 version with Japanese audio... it was great! Did you get the import version? Hmm well Goku's Japanese voice has always been quite high. It was Dragonball though? When Goku was young?
Well I guess the characters designs in the boxing anime do look kinda old and the fights also drag on a bit but it's still very good. Has a lot of heart. You should finish Trigun. If I can do it then so can you! The ending shouldn't disappoint ya'. Maybe Vash should run into that Babidi guy from DBZ and get some evil majin powers, hehe. About KH3, I did see a new trailer the other day (where people get frozen and there's keyblades everywhere) but I think it's just a teaser for something down the road by Nomura. He said some of those characters will be in the new game he's doing and that it's not KH3 but in the same world, or something like that. He said it'll be announced this year though. Ratchet & Clank I'm even more excited for since I've seen actual gameplay already. Oh I'll definitely get a DS soon. You have one too right? Could we play against each other online and everything? Gosh yes May will be quite a lovely time for games, movies, and music. There's also Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Shrek 3 soon after Spiderman 3. That's 3 big 3's in one month, hehe.
My Easter was fine. Ate some eggs! How was your Japan? The latest topic in your blog is great but didn't tell me enough! I have lots of questions to be answered! I'll ask them there ^.^
Jed, ohhh I see. I remember now. I always liked that about them. Gave me more to do. More mean trainers to beat up! Still I bet Diamond and Pearl will be a whole lot prettier, hehe. I totally need to get updated on all the new Pokemon.
Dragon1989, I hope yours was happy as well. I actually watched a bit more of Borat again and still laughed! Next up is Blood Diamond. You have a good day as well!
Incrediblebrendan, yup yup! I totally agree with 'ya about Trigun. The only anime series I've really watched a lot of even after I finished it is Street Fighter II V. I don't know why I'm so drawn to it, hehe. I guess it's just fun to watch since I grew up with those characters and feel close to 'em in a way. That and DBZ of course! Anime movies on the other hand I'll see again and again. Sure I'll let you know how Wolf's Rain turns out as soon as I'm done with it. Another similarity between it and Cowboy Bebop (one of my favorites as well btw) is that Yoko Kanno worked on them both. She did the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex OSTs as well (really, really good). I'm majorly bonkers for her music. That's great that you'll see Pan on DVD too. I hope the extras have subtitles ^__^
Are ya' sad to say goodbye to your precious FFIII? I know you've been quite in love with it ever since you got it, hehe. I hope it's all you've hoped for. Now beat that evil wizard! Anyway thanks and thanks, I hope you had a good Easter too, and yes I pray that the move goes smoothly and nothing is forgotten. Oh you know what I could do? I could get a bit of baking powder and put it in a ziplock bag and hide it under the sink. Maybe put a spoon, a lighter and one of the cat's syringes in it, haha. That'll give the new neighbors a good jump!
Miggidy, gosh I know. The director really impressed me with Pan's Labyrinth. I hope he sticks to doing those kinds of movies. Maybe I'm just being stingy about the cover, but yes, Devil's Backbone would have been a wiser choice I think. I really hope people buy or rent it. It's quite something. I like Blade II. The monsters with the crazy opening mouths, hehe. And how cool was that part close to the end when he was submerged in all that blood then slowly came out and quickly started wupping everyone to the sound of "Name Of The Game". Great song too! Oh and yes those deleted scenes were really good in Borat. I too am puzzled as to why they were left out, because with them included the movie wouldn't have been so short. And hey I found out that Tony Jaa was the stunt double for Robin Shou in the second Mortal Kombat movie. In an interview he said he did "The backflip where his character hits a really big guy, and the one where he does a twirl." I'm not too sure which those are.
*hands you Death Note cake*Posted: Apr 10, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sleepless_Pyro
(Yeah i actually bought some, 6 little chocolate bun things :3)
Ah great, though Chester's voice sounded quite... different from what i'm (we're?) used to. *waits for album* Yeah you'll have plenty of time to work your way through it all. Ah i guess that's ok then, so long as you're happy. It'll be the next language to learn on my list after Japanese, those words are fun to say ^_^ Lix, tee hee. Yep, where you shunt the remtoe forward to do attacks (like on the Naruto Shippuuden game too). Yeah i'm mistaken there, the voices are fine on the game, sorry. No it (the game) was the English version, but it gives the option to have the Japanese voices which we have on. It was really weird, Goku was his 'normal' age, but his lines were more straight, the artist was odd i guess. He was alone and at the stage where Goten and young Trunks dressed up as the one person, but it wasn't that series, just telling you the place.
It's an old series isn't it, so it makes sense. Heh yep, you even have numerous series' on the go at once, so i'm very impressed. That would be great, Vash with Majin powers, look at what it did to Vegeta o.o That sounds veryyyyy confusing. A friend of mine said that they were new characters but the bad guy was from the first KH, if that makes sense to you. Totally, DS Lite, and that would be great, you should certainly look into a game called Jump Ultimate Stars if you haven't already. Lots of DBZ characters in that 4 player beat 'em up. Heh, so many 3's, but yeah 2007 looks to be a great year in general.
Good stuff, have a Malteaser one, hmmm? You read my blod O^_^O I'm touched, i'lll update it soon if you want, as i made a journal while over there. Hopefully it'll entertain you. Please do, looking forward to hearing them *holds breath and such*
lmaoPosted: Apr 11, 2007 12:00AM PST by incrediblebrendan
that'd be perfect! make sure to burn the spoon a bit too first lol...i forgot that yoko kanno worked on both of those, thats right! i love stand alone complex, im waiting for those to come in from blockbuster so i can, er...'borrow' them indefinitely onto some bland discs...but they're behind even rome in my qeue, so it'll probably be a month or so before i have them! pateince, i tell myself, patience...
*Eats cake* Mmm. Deathy.Posted: Apr 12, 2007 12:00AM PST by Okoi-chan
Toby, oh that's nice. It's a bunny's favorite day after all so why not eat six of 'em, hehe. Yes, Chester does sound quite a bit different but I still really love his voice. Currently I see all the changes to their music as a very good thing. Not that they needed to chance or anything, but I just think it's great that they can do it and still sound terrific. I wonder if Mike is gonna change his singing/rapping style in a similar way. I like the back and forth between him and Chester though, so I hope that doesn't change. It's more of a native slang than a whole other language, but if someone lay it on thick you could have a very hard time making it out. Japanese first of course. Viva Nippon! Well I hope you're enjoying the DBZ game. The Wii controller must make it interesting. The voices are great but Goku doesn't say his Kamehameha slow enough, hehe. Hmm I really have no idea about what you saw. Sounds interesting though. You now know things about DBZ that I do not ^.^
I thought it was from the late 80s or early 90s but it's actually a 2000 anime. I guess you never can tell. Still, 7 years isn't too young. Hehe, these days when I go for 'em I really go for 'em. Like with Trigun I finished the second half in just a few days. Determination! Yup and Vegeta was strong enough to overcome it so maybe Vash could do it too. And with the M on his forehead he'd be so kakkoii! About KH3, I guess it is kinda confusing. Same world, different characters, prequel maybe? They're definitely new characters, though I can't remember that bad guy from the first game. Could be true. Jump Ultimate Stars for DS, check! I'll look into it once I get my hands on the hardware. Certainly a great '07. Lots to look forward to.
I got a bunch of Crunch eggs, hehe. They're really good with a bit of caramel and chocolate sauce or something inside. Didn't see any Malteser eggs ~.~ Yup yup I read it! I don't read too many blogs since I'm a heartless marshmallow, hehe, but if I find one I really like then I can't resist. Your latest is totally yummy so I replied heavily @.@
Incrediblebrendan, haha, sure I'll burn the spoon and leave some blood residue. I'll have to leave a belt since I don't have one of those long rubbery things to tie around my arm. I'll put teeth marks in it O.o Yup Kanno-san's... mark (in a different sense) was left on both of 'em. You know, I never watched SAC. I think the second movie, while gorgeous, turned me off a bit because it was kinda boring (At least when I saw it. Maybe I was just tired). Love the music though. Gosh I wish my lappy could do some indefinite borrowing. Actually I have a burner and everything but just don't know how to get past those mean little barriers that come with DVDs. I mean, all I wanna do is backup my movies... goshers. Hehe, well you'll get to SAC eventually. Bateau will forgive ya'.
awsomePosted: Apr 12, 2007 12:00AM PST by TheGrave999
ive seen all the Trigun episodes too :) i too like the ending. right now im reading the Trigun Manga. its pretty cool has more to the story and the art in the book is awsome.
Plus, ive always wanted to see 'Reign Over Me', i always liked those dramtic movies. But, the only movie ive seen recently was Grindhouse which is pretty good :D Maybe i should pick up some DVDs too :p
Chocolate death cakePosted: Apr 12, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sleepless_Pyro
Yeah, why is is not the Easter chick? Though bunnies are way cuter, and can hop, and carry a basket of eggs. Ah yeah, so many bands' change for the worse, it's good to know they can still... play well... yep. Chester to Mike is a major + to the band in my opinion, i doubt they'll change that. Although Mike didn't have a rapping part in their new song =S Thick servings of Trini slang does sound a bit touch, heh. Yep it's very fun to shove the 'mote and 'chuck forward to do Kamehamaha, while shouting the name too ^_^ But your all out knowledge of the DBZ is un-comparable.
Really? Woah, guess CG effects are more noticable. That's like, what, 13 episodes? That's quite a congratulatory (spelling, OK) task, well done to you, have another crunch egg. An M on his head would certainly top off his red cloak, his hair's kinda Vegeta-ish already, in a super saiyan way. Guess the only way to find out is to play it, apparently he wears/does seomthing (bad guy) or something. Good good, i could play against you someday ^_^ Yep, go 2007!
Um, what are crunch eggs? Watashi wa clueless. Aww, well i'll think of you while i eat mine, raised like a glass of champagne. Ha, that sounds great, the new KH enemy. Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it ^_^ And found it yummy too.
if you wantPosted: Apr 12, 2007 12:00AM PST by incrediblebrendan
to check this site out, search for 'dvd decrypter' and 'dvd shrink'; those two programs are all you need to decrypt, rip, and burn dvd's! and they work together too. after they're installed on your computer, put a dvd in the drive. open dvd decrypter and in your tool bar, go to 'mode' and select 'file F'; it will read the dvd, then just click the button at the bottom, and it will rip it to your HDD! after that, close the program and open 'dvd shrink'. choose 'open files' from your taskbar and the select the destination for the dvd you just ripped(its usually just the name of the movie, on your C drive or whatever drive you use for your main HDD). it will analyze the file to discern the size. if the compression is less than about 65%, you may want to choose to 're-author' the disc, an option in the taskbar. here, scroll down to the title track, click and drag to the left column. you can also add any extras you may want; click and drag them to the same column. to view them ahead of time to see if you want them or not, once they're in the left column, look below and click the 'play' arrow icon to see if its something worthwhile. once you have what you want on the disc, remember to check the compression ration first!(you can also create 'custom ratios' to give more space to one file than another; always give the title track the most space, try to get a ratio greater than 75%, especially if there's a lot of fast motion in the video!). hope this helps! let me know if you have any questions!=)
AwesomePosted: Apr 12, 2007 12:00AM PST by MisterDisco
I'm so glad someone else recognizes how awesome Hajime no Ippo was. I even started reading the scanlated manga that goes beyond the anime. :) If you're interested, you should check it out.
Melts your tummy, not your hands~Posted: Apr 13, 2007 12:00AM PST by Okoi-chan
TheGrave999, that's good to hear. I think everyone should at least try Trigun to see if they like it. One of my friends is absolutely bonkers for it, hehe. Totally crazy for Knives. Oh and yes mangas do seem to have more depth, and since the scenes aren't animated it gives the artist(s) the ability to draw everything really detailed and not have to worry about tweaking and drawing things five hundred times to complete a scene like with anime. About Reign Over Me, yup it's quite dramatic at times so you should love it. Lovely film though. Grindhouse looks really crazy from what I've seen in the trailers. I'm trying to get one of my friends to go with me but they think it looks like rubbish.
Toby, bunny just sounds cuter too. Bunny bunny bunny! I had an easter in Tobago one time and there were tiny chicks outside in a little pen and they were all tie-dyed. Pinks, blues, purples, they were so cute. What's with the "..."? Do you not like the new sound? Or maybe you just don't like LP to my psychotic extent - which would be understandable, hehe. The two of them do go very well together musically. Well in the song Mike played the guitar and did a little Ayumi-esque "Na na na" at the end, though with Ayumi it's usually "La la la", to get technical. Ooo that does sound like fun, doing the special moves. Yaya I guess I know a few things ^__^
Indeed, with CG it's a dead give-a-way. Unless it's like the Tekken 1 ending movies. They were good at the time but by today's standards it's like so 15 years ago, hehe. Hmm half I imagine is about 13. Added with my usual schedule it is a bit of a task I guess. I wanna see him do the Vegeta smile too, and then blow up half the world! Moo haha! Yup I'd have to play it over to see but I'm not that curious. I'll let someone else do it *nudge*. I'll try to go easy on ya' when we finally get to battlin'.
Well that's a Crunch. Now imagine it shaped like an egg with a bit of caramel inside and there ya' go. Atashi wa informer, hehe. Oh that makes me feel so much better so enjoy them you meanie! Hmph! Yup it was great. Looking forward to the next day. Wouldn't mind getting in another comment in day 1 first though.
Incrediblebrendan, wow thanks for explaning it all to me. I tried one and it worked very well. It might take me a few more tries before I get it perfect though. So far it's just the movie I can squeeze in and not the extras.
MisterDisco, gosh I'm amazed someone else actually saw it! I thought I was the only one for a second there, hehe. Really was/is a great anime. I'm glad I found it. Oh wow I didn't know it continued beyond the anime. I always wondered why Ippo never fought you-know-who at the end. Are volumes still being released today or did the manga finish too?
HahaPosted: Apr 13, 2007 12:00AM PST by Okoi-chan
Well I found it interesting that he did stunts so far back so I put my curious mind to work, hehe. It's weird, I sometimes even recognize actors doing stunts (or vice versa maybe). Like there's this one really great movie with Jackie Chan and Qi Shu called Gorgeous. It's a very sweet movie and not so much about action and all that stuff that you'd expect from a Jackie Chan movie. Anyway there's a smaller guy Jackie fights in it and his real name is Bradley James Allan, and like I see him all the time in Jackie's other movies doing stunts. I don't know if you've seen Who Am I but the stunt doubles are so terrible in it - in that you can clearly tell they're different people, and I noticed him at the end doubling for a much taller guy. Another actor I notice doing stunts is Ray Park from X-Men and Star Wars Episode I. He was in... the second Mortal Kombat movie I believe. Anyway you have a great weekend too. Mine will be filled with boxes and hectic-ness @.@
You have a great eye!Posted: Apr 13, 2007 12:00AM PST by miggidy
The only time I notice stunt doubles is when I'm watching a very bad B-movie lol!
Oh yeah you're moving.
I totally understand, I hate moving!!!!
(I'll be moving real soon as well)
Try not to work too hard!!!!
(like that will be easy to pull off!)
no problem!Posted: Apr 13, 2007 12:00AM PST by incrediblebrendan
hope they worked well for you=) oh and do me a favor, my messaging hasnt been working, so i sent you a reply earlier, let me know if you got it? oh and i forgot to tell you in my reply why you need both programs: decrypter also has the burn sofware in it, so even if you're creating an image straight from the disc in shrink, you need decrypter to actually burn the image!
Well...Posted: Apr 13, 2007 12:00AM PST by Okoi-chan
Miggidy, haha, I see. Sometimes I can't help but look. And if there's something in a scene that requires wire-work my eyes sorta just peek around all by themselves to see if they find any. Yes, I don't like moving either. In this case it's across state so it's not like it's just a few hours away. So there's added stress. Today was vet day so the cats got their shots and certificates for flying. At least that's out of the way. Still it's such a nice place to move to so it's for the better.
Incrediblebrendan, so far so good! Hmm no I didn't get a reply from you. I was worried I may have scared you off with too many questions. The main thing I wanted to know about was fitting more onto the blank DVD since it was almost too much already with just the movie. And I wondered what the effects of doing it the wrong way were. Also are there certain files that need to go on the blank DVD in order for the movie to play on a normal DVD player? In my room I have a special DVD player (I bought it so I can watch anime, hehe) that plays the copied movie fine but it didn't work with the normal one in the living room. It doesn't really surprise me that it didn't work on the normal one because I didn't even add the menu. Is that why? Thanks again ^__^
That's a great slogan!Posted: Apr 14, 2007 12:00AM PST by Sleepless_Pyro
That's true, it should be spelt bunnie for added cuteness. They tie-dye tiny little chicks? Woah, you don't have any photos of them do you ^_^ Ah, the "..." was because i couldn't think of a better way to describe how good they still are, my bad ^^; Oh yeah the new sound's great, didn't know Mike's voice went that high, and he didn't rap in the new one, which is a shame. Yep, i like them, but not on the smae level as you, just like DBZ =] Yeah that was nice, certianly fitted well with the overall 'feel' of the song. Heh, yes it is, but you hold buttons to charge it up, just shave to fly and fire.
Oh, in Tekken 5, you can defeat the enemy much quicker than in Virtual Fighter, found that a little odd, but i guess VF's more realistic. Ha, that would be a sight to see, oh and what's with the cat in Trigun? Haven't goten that far. Gah, was that someone just nudging me to play a game? Hmmm. Heh, well that's very considerate of you ^_^
And it's the Unbelievably big bar to boot. What, a massively large egg feull o' caramel. Sounds pretty delicious, you lucky thing =] Oh, is there no 'w'? Meh. Heh sorry, i only got 2 eggs anyway, and yours are filled with caramel. Sure go for it, can't wait to read it =]
really sorry to do this...Posted: Apr 15, 2007 12:00AM PST by incrediblebrendan
im sorry, i dont know why my messaging hasnt been working on this site! i send the message, and it pretends to send it, but then my 'sent' messages box is empty and usually no one gets anything i sent them! luckily i anticipated this, so i copied the letter to MS word, and...so sorry...i'll post it here so you can at least have your questions answered:
hey it worked! cool! you dont actually have to rip the dvd to the HDD if you dont want to, just open shrink and click the dvd icon at the top. i put them on the HDD temporarily just in case there's a problem when it creates the image, skipping or choppiness, i still have the uncompressed file to try again with. but you dont really need to, i always end up erasing those files after anyway, they take up too much space! you'll want to erase them after too, you'll fill up your HDD pretty quickly with all those movies/shows you keep up with!=) dont worry about filling up the dvd; a lot of dvd's are dual-layer (can fit 9GB), where most dvd's you burn to are single layer (can fit 4.5GB), so thats why there's a compression ratio when you burn them. you can by dual-layer dvd's to burn to, but they're too expensive still...the program should always create a compression ratio that allows everything you want on the disc, but the more compressed it is, the grainier/less clear the picture is, especially during action sequences; thats why you want that ratio as high as possible! but 95% is outstanding, you'll never see a difference with anything above 80% or more, unless you're crazy like me and really really look for it on an hdtv or something...i forgot to tell you! next time you burn a disc, when the screen comes up for it to burn the disc, somewhere you can change the write rate. i put this to the slowest write rate to minimize the chance of any write errors, which can cause choppiness. i'll look for it next time i burn a disc and let you know. also, you can increase your buffer size in dvd decrypter; go to 'tools', then down to 'settings' and select 'I/O' on the top. look for 'buffer size' and slide the bar up from 20 to 60 or so, it shouldnt tax your computer and it could help reduce the risk of stutter in your playback. oh and one other thing!(sorry, this is getting long!) are you running windows vista? if you are, you may want to partition your HDD and use the partitioned part for burning these discs, i hear there's spyware in that OS...but im not sure how to partition a HDD! if you need to know, i'll ask my buddy, he's a software engineer, he knows all that stuff so i can let you know. if you're running anything older than vista, dont worry about it at all. or you could take yourself offline when you're burning and just hook back up after you've deleted everything off your HDD! *whew* hope this was helpful! oh, and could you do me a favor? let me know if you got this message? i've been having a lot of trouble with the message service on 1UP lately, its driving me batty! hope i was helpful ^_^
ok, sorry that was so long!! and i guess disregard the message part,...so anyway, dont worry about there being too much on the disc, it'll just compress it to a ratio that will allow everyting to fit every time, its pretty cool. and to your other question, yeah, yo have to have a dvd player that can read burned discs; happily at leas the one in your room does! that sucks you cant watch them in your living room though, i hope the tv in your room isnt too small! you dont need the menus and all that stuff to play them properly, its actually the format of the data when its burned to the disc that your living room player cant read, like a different/unfamiliar language...well anyway, have a good one! hope this was helpful, let me know if you have any more questions=)
