Worst. . .commentaries. . .ever. . .
July 9 2004
This review is from:
The Simpsons: The Complete Fourth Season (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
The episodes are spectacular. There are a few remnants of the old Simpsons (the pupils change from small to large from episode to episode, etc.). Some of the show's greatest episodes are in this season: Lisa's beauty queen pageant, Mr. Burns' love for Marge, the monorail - all Simpson gems.
The commentaries are not great. I can't believe that they delay the release of episodes specifically for this reason. The commentary for "A Streetcar Named Marge" is awful. It basically consists of Jon Lovitz and Hank Azaria shamelessly plugging "The Critic," "The Stepford Wives," and "Along Came Polly." The commentary for "The New Kid on the Block" includes Conan O'Brien, but all they do is sit around and laugh at each other. There are hardly any insights to the episodes, and often, there are many blank moments where it seems as if no one can think of anything to say. It's very annoying. I say, release the seasons faster by only doing commentary for a few episodes.
So - 5 star DVD, 2 star commentaries. This is a definite must-have for Simpsons fans, but skip the commentary. Let's hope the creators have exhausted themselves and will release season 5 soon.

Only part 1, but it's still worth it people!
June 28 2004
This review is from:
Sex and the City: Season 6 Part 1 (Sous-titres fran�ais) (DVD)
Look, I know that people are upset that this is only the first 12 episodes of the 6th and final season. I don't know exactly why HBO did this - perhaps they could release these episodes faster than the entire season. Perhaps the 2nd part will have more extras (doubtful, yes, but plausible). And yes, you still have to pay full price - but it's worth it.
I had never seen any of these episodes until I broke down and purchased this set. Since then, this season has become my favorite. Let's just break down the characters:
Miranda - I never really liked Miranda that much. Although she obviously cared for Steve, she was never fully able to let him in. She always applied business tactics to her love life - be blunt, be honest, and don't let your feelings get in your way. In this season, she's a softer, kinder Miranda. She states that she might be one of those people who were never meant to be truly happy. And she realizes her true feelings for Steve and finally lets him know! Cynthia Nixon has said that when she first started the series, she really didn't understand or connect with Miranda. Now that her character has grown a little bit, Ms. Nixon has said she totally identifies with her. In this season (part 1), Miranda falls in love with her new boyfriend (TiVo), dates a hunky doctor for the Knicks, and comes to terms with her feelings for Steve. Oh, and Brady turns 1!
Charlotte - It's a pity that Kristen Davis has never been nominated for an Emmy or Golden Globe. She brings so much to her character. If she's not nominated this year, then something is definitely wrong. This is Charlotte's season. Her fling with Harry turned into true love. We see her through many, many obstacles, and she deals with them in true Charlotte fashion. She realizes that she already had the perfect wedding, but she still wants her 2nd one to go just as smoothly. Unfortunately, it doesn't - but as Carrie reminds her, her seemingly perfect life with Trey was anything but. Charlotte is hilarious on her wedding day. But this season shows real heartbreak for Charlotte, and Ms. Davis acts with true brilliance. This season (part 1), Charlotte converts to Judaism, gets married, gets pregnant, and miscarries. This is definitely Charlotte's season.
Samantha - In the Museum of TV and Radio interview on the last disc, Kim Cattrall states that she didn't think Samantha changed over the course of the series - the viewers only see emerging layers of her. I couldn't agree more. In the beginning, Samantha was there to shock, amaze, and titillate us with her explicit scenes - nothing more. In the 4th, 5th, and 6th seasons, Samantha still does this, but we see more of her (emotionally - I think we've seen all of her physically). Samantha's still Samantha - she loves life, men, and sex. In this season, Samantha has a fling with a waiter/actor, she turns him into a superstar, finds a grey hair (down there), and deals with the prospect of (the horror!) Public Displays of Affection. In the next part, she deals with her greatest challenge ever - breast cancer.
And finally, Carrie - First of all, I want to say that even though Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker didn't really get along, they show such chemistry on screen. It's such a testament to the great acting ability of both women that they were able to set aside differences for the sake of the show. That said, this season Carrie shows a lot of growth. Remember in the first two seasons when Carrie practically had a different boyfriend in every episode? Those days are long gone. Carrie wants more. She wants love, respect, and Manolo Blahniks. In one great episode ("A Woman's Right to Shoes"), Carrie gets fed up of having to buy wedding shower presents, wedding presents, honeymoon presents, and baby shower presents. Single people get nothing, Carrie realizes, and this comes to a head when her shoes go missing at a friend's apartment and the friend chastises her for not having a life and spending money on shoes. She's a grown up in her relationship with Berger. This is Carrie's first relationship in which I've thought, "Carrie did nothing wrong. If anything, she was supportive and willing to work everything out." Throughout the first part of season 6, Carrie gets broken up via post-it, deals with Big's bombshell of heart surgery, has a bad fling with a best man, and meets a Russian artist (who I cannot stand, FYI).
"Sex and the City" broke the mold. Never has a show been so open and honest in dealing with sex and relationships. It's never been afraid to show how funny, dramatic, fantastic, devastating, and romantic sex can be. The writing has never been smarter and the characters have never been more fully fleshed-out.
That said, when watching the shows back to back, it becomes slightly annoying. The puns, which were so geniusly spoofed on Saturday Night Live, can get a little tedious. And the fact that every situation that a character gets into reflects Carrie's column that week is a tad overwhelming at times. But not enough that you shouldn't watch.
My favorite moment of the entire series happens in "Boy, Interrupted." Stanford is reeling from his break-up with Marcus (Stanford found that Marcus had once been an escort), and takes Carrie as his date to a GLBT "prom." As Carrie and Stanford dance to Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now," Marcus breaks in and declares his love for Stanford. As Stanford forgives Marcus, he puts his head on his shoulder, and the two men dance to the song together. Carrie sways to the music by herself. . . and she's never looked more confident or fabulous.
Forget all the hoopla surrounding HBO and monetary issues. Buy it - I promise you won't regret it.

Will & Grace: Season Two [Import] (DVD)
The episodes are classic.(...) Many events happen in season two: Grace moves out of Will's apartment (across the hall). Jack moves in with Karen & Rosario. Will loses his job, but finds another. I won't list synopses of episodes, because a more diligent fan has listed them below. This DVD is worth the excellent price on Amazon. It's simply hilarious and makes good weekend watching. However, there are a few problems with the DVD. As for special features, there are no commentaries and no bloopers, only the themed featurettes which include scenes from the episodes. The featurettes are indeed funny, but when you've seen all the episodes, they lose their luster. The DVD box list of episodes is wrong - the first episodes of discs 2, 3, and 4 are actually the last episodes on discs 1, 2, and 3. And on disc 4, the episodes are out of order (they appear to be backward). This isn't that big of a deal, as you can watch them in order if you choose, but I was surprised when I pressed "Play all" to find that the last episode was first (I hope that makes sense). You'd think that NBC or Lions Gate would have found those mistakes before releasing the DVD.
Let's face it - we buy these DVDs for the convenience of watching episodes whenever we choose. I would have enjoyed bloopers, interviews, and commentaries, but Will & Grace shines on it's own. The episodes are 5-star, but the DVD itself is only 3 (because of the mix-ups and the lack of bloopers and commentaries which I was led to believe would be on this set). If you're a of fan high-brow (and low-brow) comedy, buy this DVD. I've rarely laughed harder.
Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed

Not too convincing

This review is from:
Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed (Hardcover)
It seems as if Patricia Cornwell tried her best to slove the case of Jack the Ripper, but something stood in her way: the complete lack of evidence. Cornwell only has to go on astounding coincidences and assumptions. There are many passages in this book which state that there's no evidence to suggest that Walter Sickert was or did something, but there's no evidence to suggest that he DIDN'T. This becomes a little presumptuous and slightly annoying. The same rule could apply to anyone: There's no evidence that says that Abraham Lincoln was in London at the time of the Ripper murders, but there's no evidence that says that he WASN'T.
There is really not enough evidence to accuse one specific individual of being Jack the Ripper. Which is why the case continues to mystify and bewilder us. Cornwell seems to believe that Sickert wrote a staggering majority of the Ripper letters sent to the police, which I cannot believe. Perhaps Sickert had visited all of the places where the letters came from, but I didn't find it convincing that he traveled all over England, Wales, Scotland, and even France in one day.
Cornwell makes a noble effort though. She invested much of her own money (not to mention time) into this investigation. She does extensive research on the Ripper letters, and connects a few drawings to similar ones that Sickert did in his time as an artist. There are points in this book where I thought, "Yes, Sickert COULD be Jack the Ripper." But I never thought, "Yes, Sickert was, without a doubt, Jack the Ripper."
Another bothersome aspect of this book is it's complete lack of choronology. Before Cornwell even begins to write about Mary Kelly (the last victim of the Ripper), she has already gone on for many pages about murders that took place in 1907 (Mary Kelly was murdered in 1888).
I read this book simply because I am fascinated by Jack the Ripper. And it is a good read. Cornwell brings to light many facts about the murders that I had never heard of. But did she convince me that Sickert was, in fact, the Ripper? No. Perhaps she should not have titled this book "Case Closed." The case is still, and forever will be, unsolved. That is the grotesque beauty and wonder of the Jack the Ripper murders.

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Vol. 4 (DVD)
It's true that all of these movies are from the Sci-Fi channel era. And it's true that they've all been on recently. However, wouldn't you rater have clean, crisp DVD versions instead of grainy videotaped versions in which you have to fast-forward through the commercials? I know that I would. Plus, all of these selections have a 30-45 second introduction by Mike Nelson, and the trailers for "Girl in Gold Boots." Let's break it down:
"Hamlet" - I know, I know - it would seem very tedious to sit through Hamlet, but Mike and the Bots do a great job of riffing on this poorly dubbed, over (and under) acted, moody German version of Hamlet. B+
"Girl in Gold Boots" - Think "Showgirls" only worse (!). A waitress from the sticks leaves her abusive father and heads to L.A. with a shady character and a guitar playing hippie named Critter to become a dancer. But nobody bothered to tell her that she kind of sucks as a dancer. She becomes involved in a tailspin of bad music, bad outfits, and marijuana. Check out the bizarre over-acting of the lead dancer. A-
"Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" - This ranks right up there with "Manos: The Hands of Fate" as the worst movie I've ever seen on MST3K. Raul Julia "stars" in this PBS movie as a man in the future who's brain gets trapped in a computer during a botched procedure which was supposed to insert his brain into a monkey. Or something. Very confusing, very boring, and very 80s special effects. Be warned - this is an AWFUL mess of a movie. At times I found it hard to sit through, but it's worth watching. C+
"Space Mutiny" - the best of the bunch. It's in space, and there's a mutiny, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what goes on. Be prepared for excitement as our beefy hero indulges in a futruistic golf cart chase, and relaxes at a futuristic disco where hula hoops seem to be all the rage. This is a must-see, especially for the names Mike and the bots come up with for our hero ("Gristle McThornbody!" "Big McLargehuge!"). A
I know that a lot of people wish for more Comedy Central episodes, but it's very hard to get licensing for these films. Especially now that MST3K is more popular and the company has realized that these films are essentially being made fun of. But beggars can't be choosers. I'll be happy with anything Best Brains, Inc. releases on DVD.

This review is from:
Living With Ghosts (Audio CD)
It takes a good artist to translate her life into words and music. But it takes an incredible artist to make the listener feel her pain, heartache, and joy along with her. Patty Griffin is the latter. I can't decide if I want her to be more famous and recognized (as she derserves to be) or if I want her to remain obscure - a little gem that only a few enlightened people can see. Her words are pure poetry ("You left open the window til the morning and the winter walked in"), and when her lyrics are combined with her guitar-playing ability and her raw, emotional voice, it's such a rare experience. You feel like you're reading someone's diary - it's so personal and heart-wrenching that you can't help but feel like you're invading her private space. And that's a good thing. At other times, you can imagine yourself in a dark bar, just you and Patty sitting in a corner booth, talking about life and love over a couple of beers. She's been battered by love, but she's not afraid to sing about it.
Whether she's singing about loneliness ("Moses"), a lost but not forgotten relationship ("Every Little Bit," in which she says that "by this I am able in all of my travels to make these memories quit. But tonight I clearly recall every little bit."), she draws you into her life. She's also not afraid to tackle issues other than love - as evidenced by the familial struggle of "Poor Man's House" and the story of "Sweet Lorraine," a woman who longs to overcome her family and life by escaping to college and, eventually, a marriage. Of course, her most powerful song, "Tony," about a gay boy Patty knew in high school, is on her follow-up CD, "Flaming Red."
Which reminds me, but all three of Patty Griffin's albums. You might end up crying, but at least it'll be with someone that you've grown to love.

1,000 Kisses (Audio CD)
I give every Patty Griffin CD 5 stars. She is an amazing, talented songwriter. Technically, this is her fourth CD. She completed a whole other album titled "Silver Bell," but unfortunately A & M records did not deem it "radio-friendly." The CD, with 10-12 totally new and different tracks, might not ever be released (much to my dismay). However, she was picked up by a new, and much smarter and braver, label. Thus, we have "1000 Kisses." The title is derived from the English translation of the song "Mil Besos." Patty is not fluent in Spanish, but the song sounds amazing. Even in a language I don't understand I can still feel the passion and longing in her voice.
This album is more orchestral than her first ("Living With Ghosts") but far more spare than ("Flaming Red"); this is the middle child. I wish there was more original material, but I'll take all the Patty I can get. "Rain" starts out the CD with a somber tone, and while none of the songs can be described as uplifting, there are a couple of faster songs that highlight Patty's guitar skills, such as "Chief" and "Long Ride Home." The two highlights on this CD are "Stolen Car" and "Nobody's Crying." Her rendition of Springsteen's ode to lost love and innocence in "Stolen Car" is heartbreaking: "At night I wait to get caught. . .but I never do. . ."
"Nobody's Crying" is a meaningful note to a lover who's gone, but not forgotten. Even though she's reeling from a broken heart, Patty wishes good things to the one who broke it, and hopes for a place on "the steepest slope" where "there's an endless rope. . .and nobody's crying."
This is a powerful CD, and brings up many emotions. From the widow's perspective of "Making Pies" and "Long Ride Home," to the gentle warnings of "Be Careful", to the inevitable questions raised by "Tomorrow Night," Patty's third (and fourth) album is a classic study of love and life. I definitely suggest it for anyone who's a sucker for a powerful singer and incredibly talented songwriter.

Amzing lyrics, haunting voice

Barricades and Brickwalls (Audio CD)
On a ten hour road trip to Texas, my friend and I had to break up the monotony of flat, dusty roads by introducing each other to new music. I played Patty Griffin for her, and she played Kasey Chambers for me. I had no idea how much I'd fall in love with this CD. I do not like most country music, because the majority of singers don't write their music and it's unbelieveably corny. Chambers however, fuses country and folk, writes her own material and speaks from her heart and mind. Once you get past the pitch and range of her voice (and at times you may have to turn down your stereo), you realize what a talented individual she is.
Although all the songs are good in their own right, I am particularly moved by "A Million Tears." The lyrics are heartbreaking, frank, and honest: "Do you wanna ride in my car? / It's parked out on the street / Or just stay with me awhile / Before I fall asleep / Take these tears / Wash your skin / I'm having trouble breathing / Since you walked in. . ." Another heartbreaker is "Not Pretty Enough." Chambers ask the question that everyone thinks in a relationship: "Am I not pretty enough? / Is my heart too broken? / Do I cry too much? / Am I too outspoken? / Don't I make you laugh? / Should I try it harder? / Why do you see right through me?"
From full-on country ("A Little Bit Lonesome"), to soft ballads ("Nullarbor Song"), to heartbreakers like "A Million Tears" and "Not Pretty Enough," Kasey Chambers' "Barricades & Brickwalls" is one of the best American CDs to come around in a long time. . .and she's Australian.

Henry's List of Wrongs (Hardcover)
The book starts off well enough, but after the prologue, it goes waaaay downhill. If I hadn't lived in Kansas (where a lot of the book takes place) I would have put the book down after the first couple of chapters. It's painfully obvious the author wants this to be a movie - why he didn't simply write a screenplay, I'll never know. I expected the words "extreme close-up" to pop up any second. The dialogue is mostly fluff and cliche, and the characters are stock. The "guy who lost his heart" meets "the wacky girl" and blah blah blah. "Wacky Girl" has a past, which takes the reader all of 5 seconds to figure out. The reader can't help but picture Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock or Sarah Jessica Parker saying these lines (and that's exactly what Shepherd wants you to do). If this was only a movie, and I saw it, I would have found it mildly amusing. Since it was a book, I simply found it completely annoying. Apparently, this book is going to be a movie soon (there's a schocker). But with "Life Or Something Like It" failing at the box office, I can't help but see this one doing the same. Save your money, and check it out at your local library.

Sex and the City: Season 3 (DVD)
With the 3rd season, the characters are more developed, and the show is much more polished. Carrie no longer talks directly to the camera (thankfully, as that gets somewhat annoying), and gone are the "opinons" from the strangers on the street (also annoying). Although it's always funny, this season is more of a drama with wit.
And people say they can't relate?! Puh-lease! I totally identified with the characters this season. Steve moves in with Miranda--who hasn't had those same feelings (i.e., will this really work? Are we moving too fast?). Who doesn't have the same hopes of a relationship working out? This season is the most hilarious, heartbreaking, meaningful, eventful season of ANY show (take that, Friends!). Sadly, the extras are lacking, but hey--who needs extras with a show this good! I can hardly wait for the next season!

DALLAS -- College coaches from coast to coast flocked to Dallas Skyline last year in hopes of signing one of the program's many talented seniors. Having 11 Division I prospects, including two Under Armour All-Americans, tends to have that effect on college coaches, and if a Jan. 28 visit to Skyline is any indication, don't expect the recruiters to stop scheduling visits to the East Dallas school.
For most programs, losing 11 Division I players would mean a rebuilding period, but Skyline needs only to reload, thanks to a solid junior class plus stellar sophomore and freshman classes behind it.
"Our junior class is a solid group," said Skyline assistant coach and recruiting coordinator R.J. Bond. "We have some very good players in that group. The sophomore group doesn't have as much depth as the senior group we just graduated, but the top half of the sophomore class has some great linebackers, a big receiver, a big guard and a very good running back."
ESPNU 150 Watch List linebacker Anthony Wallace leads a 2011 class that has five or six Division I prospects. Despite all the talent that has come through the Skyline program under head coach Reginald Samples, some think the 6-foot-2, 223-pounder could be the best.
"Anthony is so humble and quiet. He has great character. We feel like he should be the first five-star Skyline has had in a while," Bond said.
The early college offers back up the thought. Since September 2009, offers have poured in from the likes of Florida, Kentucky, LSU, Miami, UCLA, Tennessee, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Kansas, Texas A&M, Minnesota, Baylor, Texas Tech and Houston, with Texas to follow this weekend.
ESPNU 150 Watch List safety/linebacker Franklin Shannon and defensive ends Marquel Bryant and Mike Moore will also be heavily recruited in the next cycle.
On offense, youth will be plentiful at the skill positions and along the offensive line, although the Raiders do return a pair of playmakers out of the backfield in the versatile Sammy Hill and running back Josh Wilkins.
Another great group of linebackers
This year's trio of linebackers at Skyline may have been the best in the country. Wallace, Corey Nelson (Oklahoma) and Dominique Patterson (Texas A&M) were big, fast defenders who will all be playing for major college programs in the future.
As crazy as it may seem, next year's squad may be better because of its depth and versatility. Wallace will be joined next season by junior Nigel Robertson, who is regarded as one of the hardest-hitting players the Skyline staff has ever coached; junior Peter Jinkens; junior Dominique Spencer; and possibly Shannon, who played safety this year.
The 6-2, 205-pound Jinkens is well-proportioned with long arms and track speed. The talented sophomore could also line up in the backfield as a junior.
"Jinkens is the type of athlete that could be a running back, linebacker or defensive end. He was a gunner on [the] punt team and wedge-buster on [the] kickoff team as a sophomore," Bond said.
Wallace and Shannon were both 9-5A first-team all-district picks in 2009. Shannon has received offers from the likes of Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Kansas and Kansas State.
Speedy secondary
The secondary was completely gutted by graduation and position changes, assuming Shannon makes the move to linebacker. Transfer Shelton Session (6-0, 180 pounds) has a powerful defensive back frame and will bring speed and quickness. One corner will be 2012 prospect Pat Robinson, while fellow 2012 prospect Dallas Lewis figures to play in the defensive backfield as well.
All three of the newcomers bring 4.5-speed or better to the field.
Defensive end experience
The defensive end position returns the most experience for the Raiders. Juniors Marquel Bryant and Michael Moore are returning, and it's not out of the question that Wallace could see some snaps at end as a senior.
Bryant, 6-3, 219 pounds, is a long-armed, quickly developing pass-rusher off the edge and features a very quick first step. He is receiving interest from the entire Big 12 plus Oregon and Tennessee, among others.
Moore, 6-1, 215 pounds, is receiving interest from Texas A&M and the majority of the Big 12. He has continually impressed with his motor and his ability to pursue the football. He was a 9-5A first team all-district selection as a junior.
Skyline will also likely play a number of freshmen in reserve roles along the defensive front. Isaiah Williams, Malvon Brown, Brandon Lee and Jeremy Nixon are all talented young linemen likely to make an impact as sophomores. Williams could also play anywhere from end to tackle on the offensive line.
"The freshman class is very deep with a lot of talented kids. There are a lot of good character kids as well in the class. We might not have the All-American type of prospect, but this class has a little of everything. This class could have more [Division I prospects] than the senior class that just signed, if they develop."
Young but talented on the offensive line
The offensive line will be a position of extreme youth, but some very talented and big players led by the 9-5A Newcomer of the Year Marlon Brown. He played at nearly 340 pounds as a sophomore, but is making great strides in the offseason and has already dropped close to 20 pounds. The 6-2, 320-pounder will be joined by a host of underclassmen, including Benito Vidales, who is an athletic 6-2, 250-pounder. Junior two-way lineman Mike Jones will also be a key player on the line.
Top transfer highlights receivers
Skyline lost some big-time receiver threats with the graduation of Mike Davis (Texas) and Joseph Powell (Oklahoma), among others, and the returning corps looked like a question mark before the recent transfer of one of the top sophomores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Thomas Johnson is not familiar to a large number of high school fans, but expect the explosive 6-0, 175-pound playmaker to be one of the top prospects in the area a year from now. He played quarterback during his sophomore year at Arlington Oakridge, throwing passes to top receiver prospect Ross Apo (Bedford, Texas/Arlington Oakridge), who signed with BYU last week. While Johnson was productive as a passer, completing 60 of 109 passes for 1,095 and 14 touchdowns, it was on the ground that his electric playmaking skills were on full display. He rushed for an attention-grabbing 1,626 yards and 25 touchdowns on just 125 carries.
Johnson, who will move to receiver for Skyline, is already receiving lofty praise from his coaches thanks to his combination of elite quickness, acceleration, change of direction and pure speed. His special ability showed up in junior high: He was the top long jumper in the country for his age group and recorded a leap of more than 20 feet as an eighth grader.
"Thomas is explosive. We had one of our former players, Josh Bell [a Green Bay Packers defensive back], in the other day, and he was asking about him. That says a lot when the NFL guys are singling him out," Bond said.
Sophomore Tre Raybon, junior P.J. Dawson, and freshmen Ra'Shaad Samples and Derell Bullocks will team with Johnson to give the Raiders another talented, playmaking receiver corps. Raybon is the biggest target at a shade over 6-2, while Dawson (6-2, 195 pounds) is a physical player who played tight end as a junior. Samples, the son of coach Samples, also plays on the varsity basketball team as a freshman.
Stacked rushing attack
Juniors Wilkins and Hill are coming off productive seasons. Wilkins (5-9, 175 pounds) rushed for 612 yards and 12 touchdowns on 83 carries. Hill (5-8, 173 pounds) will line up in the backfield and in the slot as well as return kicks. He rushed for 239 yards on 30 carries and caught 25 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns, earning 9-5A first-team all-district honors.
Joining the experienced playmakers will be 2012 prospect David Greene. The 6-0, 180-pounder will bring to the team a blend of speed and power between the tackles. He could also see time at safety.
Handing the ball off, passing, and making plays with his feet could be 2013 prospect DeVante Kincade. The 6-0, 171-pounder has a bright future thanks to his combination of quick feet, ability to make defenders miss and strong arm, but he will face some competition from upperclassmen.
"It's going to be an open competition this spring and summer. Edward Baker, a junior; Josh Brown, a sophomore; and Kincade will compete for the job," Bond said.
Whoever wins the job will have a tall task because UTEP signee Javia Hall put together a terrific senior season for the Raiders, throwing 33 touchdowns against just two interceptions.
The Raiders will have a chance to live up to their expectations right away -- Skyline recently finalized a Week 1 showdown at Cowboys Stadium against Florida powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas. The game will be part of the Herbstreit Classic on Labor Day.

Current-sensing power MOSFETs (SENSEFETs) provide signals proportional to the device current which can be used for overcurrent protection and current feedback.

The Baatara Gorge Waterfall (or the Baatara Pothole Waterfall) is located in the village of Balaa, between the cities of Laqlouq and Tannourine, Lebanon. The location is also known as the "Three Bridges Chasm" (in French "Gouffre des Trois Ponts").
This unexpected waterfall drops 255 metres (837 ft.) into a cave and falls behind three natural bridges, which raise one above the other and overhang the chasm descending into Mount Lebanon. It can only be seen during the months of March and April, when the snows are melting.
Would we destroy building of historic interest?
Would we crash and ruin classic cars just for the sake of it?
Would we slash the old masters hanging in our museums?
Would we burn down the libraries containing the books of our nations?
If the answer is no then why do we insist on pushing the living history we have to the brink of extinction and beyond?

Great Winch for Fair Price
By We Love Harbor Freight!
from Northeast Texas
We put this 3500 pound Winch on our Kawasaki Mule. We had heard good things about Harbor Freight Winch's and we thought the price was very good. The winch does the job and we are happy with it. Great value!
Great winch at a great price
By C3PO
from Henderson
Purchased this in Evansville , In. and put it on last Thursday. Went riding at a new area close to Rough River State Park in Ky.and spent that Saturday pulling several people out of difficult situations. Never lacked for power or speed. Why pay more for a "name brand" winch that offers no better performance but costs 4 times as much. Easy to install on a stock mounting bracket made for a name brand competitor.

By live to hunt
from bossier city, la
I have two of these now, one mounted on the front of my side x side and the other is mounted in the bed for loading game, they both work flawlessly. Instructions were easy to follow and mounting was a breeze. At this price I can't imagine why anyone would pay 2-3 times more for the "name brand" winch. Would definitely recommend this winch and if ever needed, will purchase another.
Great deal
By Koskoman
from Mentone, IN
Installed this as a replacement to my under powered 2000 lb winch on my UTV. I haven't use this more than a couple times but it works like it should. My only complaint is that installation took several hours and the wiring diagram could be made clearer.

2008 RNC Aftermath
posted by September 25 at 10:37 AMon
Sounds like St. Paul might launch an investigation of how police behaved during the Republican National Convention.
Last night, the mayor and city council of St. Paul held an open hearing with around 200 people. Sounds like some of them were a little irritatingcatcalls, chantingbut the important testimonies (especially from Elliot Hughes, the kid who was knocked out, then woke up in a pool of his own blood, then blindfolded and tortured during his night in jail) happened.
From the AP:
Bruce Nestor, president of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, called for an independent investigation with a budget, the power to compel testimony and to subpoena records. He also called for discipline of officers who acted wrongly, and like many others asked that the charges against all protesters be dropped.
Leah Lane, a 19-year-old from Eau Claire, Wis., showed video of herself being repeatedly pepper sprayed and knocked down by police, as she was holding her fingers in the peace sign and saying "I love you." She said she feels police were doing their job, but that too much force was used.
Another 19-year-old, Elliot Hughes of St. Paul, was visibly distraught as he claimed he was tortured in the Ramsey County Jail.
Hughes said he was punched and fell to the ground, and that his head was slammed on the jail floor. He said he was taken out of his cell to another area, where his ankles were bent backward and a bag was placed over his head. He also claimed he was denied food and water.
"I was screaming, crying, begging God for mercy," Hughes said. "One officer was even disgusting enough to say, 'Your God is not with you right now. We are all devils.'"

At age 24 years, this woman was first diagnosed as having Crohn's disease after developing rectal fistulas and oral ulcerations, both of which resolved with prednisone and sulfasalazine therapy. Five years later, she complained of cough, dysphagia, and watery diarrhea. Endoscopy revealed erythematous, friable mucosa in the midesophagus, which on biopsy was consistent with Crohn's disease. An increase in the intake of steroids resolved the patient's symptoms. She remained symptom free for five

John C. Fremont Senior High School is a Title 1 co-educational public high school located in South Central, Los Angeles, California, United States.
Fremont serves several Los Angeles neighborhoods and the unincorporated community of Florence-Graham; some sections of Florence-Graham are jointly zoned to Fremont and David Starr Jordan High School. The Avalon Gardens public housing project is zoned to Fremont.
The school first opened in 1924 and is named after John C. Frémont. The school is in LAUSD's District 7 and runs on a traditional school system. There are 5,083 students enrolled (2,914 more than the state average), with 11% of the student body African-American and 89% Latino. The name of the school newspaper is "The Pathfinder".
Fremont opened in 1924.[1] It will reduce its number of students when South Region High School 2 opens in 2011.[2]
Small school learning communities[edit]
John C. Fremont High School was one of the first schools in the United States to have been divided into a "small school" or "academy". The purpose of the small school is to allow personalization of instruction, due to the concern that students may become academically lost in a large, or augmented, campus. Each of the thirteen Small Learning Communities (SLCs), averaging 400 students each, is given a section of the school campus, and most of the classes take place in that section. For example, one of the small schools might be assigned classes on the first and second floors of the main building. The students of this small school would have the majority of classes in those two floors.
As of July 6, 2010, when the school undergoes reconstitution, the thirteen SLCs will be dissolved and in their place will be six Academies of 500 students each on the three Tracks, consisting of grades 10, 11, and 12. The 9th graders on each Track will have their own Center, with 600 students each.
In September 2013, only four SLCs remained, and the school switched over to a block schedule system instead of the track system. With the reduction of students due to the construction of the South Region schools, the school felt it would be able accommodate the students more efficiently with a block schedule.
Today however (as of September 2013), there exists only three SLCs which include, MESA, ESJ, and SGMA. All communities have students of all grade levels. Interestingly enough, there was once a 9th Grade Academy, a fourth SLC, but soon after the freshman class of 2016 did the school end that SLC.
MAGNET is considered to be the fourth current SLC, but the MAGNET community is a separate school in totality. John C. Fremont High School (school code: 8650) is the host campus for the John C. Fremont Magnet Math Science and Technology High School. (school code: 8651)

The Los Angeles Unified School District will shut down the school, dismiss all of its staff, and reopen from scratch. The strategy, dubbed "reconstruction", will attempt to address the school's severe drop-out rate, which hovers at around 50%. The strategy is supported by the superintendent, Ramon C. Cortines, and the U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. The move is opposed by the United Teachers Los Angeles and many Fremont teachers.[3]

Neil Lennon has called on the Scottish Football Association's compliance officer, Vincent Lunny, to "spell out the guidelines" for managers.
The Celtic boss was speaking after his Kilmarnock counterpart Kenny Shiels and St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas found themselves in hot water with the SFA this week over post-match comments.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round tie at home to Irn-Bru Second Division side Arbroath, Lennon said: "I don't know where, as managers, we draw the line. I do have a lot of sympathy for all managers in that situation. So we need the disciplinary procedure spelt out to us in black and white."
Lomas was handed a six-match ban for his reaction towards referee Iain Brines over a decision during his side's draw at Parkhead this month, with a suspended two-game punishment also invoked.
Lennon's comments though, pertained more to Shiels who was issued with two notices of complaint by Lunny, one of which was for allegedly breaching three disciplinary rules as a result of comments he made in a radio interview and newspaper articles following their defeat to Inverness on November 3.
One of the accusations was that Shiels made comments that "impinge upon the character of a match official by suggesting that the match official may bear a grudge against you should you answer a question relating to decisions taken by him". The Killie boss also faces a misconduct charge for being sent to the stand for dissent during last weekend's defeat by St Johnstone.
Lennon added: "I think Vincent Lunny should come and speak to managers because at the end of the day we are the ones who are brought up in front of him and the SFA disciplinary panel. I think Vincent needs to spell out the guidelines, what we can and can't say regarding referees in post-match interviews.
"I don't know if Kenny was offensive in any way in his post-match interview or to the referee, but we will end up talking in cliches then because we will be protecting ourselves."
Lennon admits it would be "fair to say" Celtic fans will see a different side start against the Red Lichties than they will against Spartak Moscow in their Champions League Group G decider at Parkhead next Wednesday night.
The Hoops need a better result against the Russians than Benfica get against Barcelona in the Nou Camp. The former Celtic skipper said: "Obviously we have Spartak in mind but I will be putting out a strong team tomorrow. It is important to keep momentum going for Wednesday night."

Selection problems?
After we destoyed Watford, they have gone into decline.
Have other teams realised that they are now beatable?
Will Watford remain in the automatic promotion places?
Although I prefer the entertaining standard of Championship football, I hope the Baggies can make it to the Premiership and the dubious qualities of its' referees.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I agree with you on the Watford thing,I reckon they are going to struggle to stay in the top two,but will make the play-offs,as for the referees......have you seen some of the idiots we've had this year so far!!! there's not a lot to choose between any of them they seem to be out there to be noticed rather than control a game properly and fairly,then you hardly notice the ref

I think we are having our "blip" too.
On another baggies site (Boing), they expressed my feelings of how Albion played last night.....

Let's hope that was our last one and the lads get it back together soon.

Far West TPB (2001) comic books
Far West TPB (2001) #1-1ST$11.00
Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Far West (1998 1st Series) #1-4. Story and art by Richard Moore. Richard Moore (Boneyard) cut his first teeth on this hard-driving fantasy western mini-series! Gorgeous but tough-as-nails elf Meg is a bounty hunter in a land that resembles the Old West... but this version is populated with elves, ogres, shape-shifters and creatures you can't even trust as far as you can throw them! Hey, it's a living, and Meg is darn good at it! But she and her bear companion Phil (who tends to be a bit less hot-blooded) just may have their hands full when they set out to capture Neil Voss, an elfin outlaw with a bounty of $10k on his head. But there's one big problem: he doesn't have a bear as a companion...he keeps company with a fire-breathing dragon the size of a house! With Moore's inimitable sense of timing, action, sexiness, and dry humor, this one is a guaranteed good time for all! This volume collects the first four-issue mini-series along with additional pin-up art and a new story, all printed in a larger format, better for showing off Moore's great artwork! Softcover, 8-in. x 12-in., 112 pages, B&W. Cover price $13.95.

These two cities have inspired artists for centuries. What tales will they invite you to tell?
Spend one week in London going to the theater, visiting the British Museum, and taking a tour of both Stonehenge and Bath. Then, it is on to Paris for a week, where we will eat croissants in the morning before seeing some of the greatest paintings and cathedrals ever created in the afternoon. You will also be able to explore these culturally rich cities on your own. Not only will you get great pictures, Facebook posts, and memories, but you will also be inspired to create your own unique travel journal where you will be able to write about all you experience. This course has been approved for the Experimental Learning (EL) designation.
London: The group will attend a musical theater performance in the theater capital of the world as well as visit museums, art galleries, and the Globe Theater. In addition, the group will take a tour to Stonehenge and the quaint town of Bath.
Paris: We will be immersing ourselves in the city of love, food, and art. We will visit the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and Rodin's studio. We will also tour the awesome Notre Dame and the breathtaking Sainte Chapelle. And we will eat and eat some more. It will be a busy, but very exciting two weeks!
The estimated Program Fee per student is $2,200 plus the cost of 2 CSB/SJU credits at the reduced summer tuition rate (approximately $550 per credit).
This price includes:
The Program Fee does not include:
London: The group will reside in the heart of London, near Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, and Buckingham Palace. Transportation is nearby, easy to navigate and included in the cost of the program.
Paris: The group will be staying at the Hotel Marignan while visiting Paris. This is located in the Latin Quarter; the stomping grounds of Paris' many great artists.
Betsy Johnson-Miller is the director of this program. In addition to teaching English and Communication courses, she is a writer who has published two books of poetry as well as a number of essays and two young adult novels. She led this trip to London and Paris last year, and she can't wait to visit these places again and see what words, stories, and images take a hold of her and her students.

A free garden journal for Cyber Monday (and beyond)
So today is Cyber Monday. If you're a gardener, I'm sure there are lots of things out there that are interesting and cheap online, but just about everybody locally is selling their bulbs at half price or better. The problem is you'll actually have to get in your car and go to your favorite nursery or garden center. Then after purchasing the bulbs you'll have to step out into the garden and get the bulbs planted.
Over the weekend I planted a few hundred bulbs using my favorite tool, a bulb auger. It's a giant drill bit that lets the drill do the hard work of planting. It's not really a great Christmas gift because it won't be used until next fall, but this thing makes planting bulbs fun. If you end up buying hundreds of bulbs on sale, get a bulb auger, it will make the job a breeze.
I go down to my local nursery once or twice a week this time of the year, buying as many bulbs as I think I can plant. I've made the mistake of buying too many and being stuck with bags of tulips after the ground freezes solid.
It's been an wonderful long warm season and we've got at least two more weeks to plant bulbs.
One of the most important things to do when planting them is to write down where they are. That's when we get to the best Christmas gift for gardeners, a garden journal. I've written one, but there are many great ones out there. Here's my Cyber Monday special, it's actually good year round. Here's a link for a free garden journal to download. A garden journal becomes a sort of diary and is something that can be passed down for generations. I staple photos of the garden in there, write down grand plans and chronicle how I'm feeling on some days.
So why all the fuss about planting bulbs this time of the year? Because no matter how short winter is, it's always too long. When spring arrives, the beauty of these blooms are the most welcome site. I can't wait, and looking at these photos from my garden will make the season pass a little quicker.

Essay - Legalizing Marijuana Marijuana Was Declared an Illegal Drug in the...
Legalizing Marijuana
***** was declared an illegal drug in the United States in 1937 when ***** "Mariju*****a Tax Act" ***** passed by the Congress under dubious circumstance. Even though several studies have since shown that the ***** is less harmful than tobacco and alcohol, and enforcement of marijuana laws cost an enormous amount, it continues to remain an illegal substance in ***** US. While d*****cussing the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana, I shall argue in this paper why ***** makes sense to decriminalize this relatively harmless drug without further delay.
***** of legalizing marijuana are of the view that it is a dangerous drug. Facts do not support th***** contention. For example, there has not been a single recorded c*****se of death due to marijuana overdose. On the other h*****, a leg*****l intoxicant like alcohol results in the death of about 5,000 persons every year due to overdose. In fact, ***** is one of the least ********** substances and has to be consumed in physically impossible quantities ***** prove fatal. ("Answers To...," Para on Health Risk Myths)
As for the allegedly ***** health effects of marijuana, a World ***** Organization (WHO) Study, which was scheduled to be published in Decem*****r 1997 but was suppressed by its top management due to political pressure, had reported ***** Cannabis f*****d better than ***** ***** nicot*****e in five out ***** seven comparisons of long-term damage to ***** (Concar). ***** terms of addictiveness too, most studies show that marijuana was less addictive ***** alcohol, nicotine and caffeine. (Quoted in "Study Compares...," 1994)
Other allegations against marijuana-use include the *****t-repeated charge that it acts as a 'gateway' drug, i.e., people who smoke marijuana, often 'graduate' to hard drugs such ***** heroin or cocaine. This ********** is disproved by the fact that after ***** legalizing of marijuana in Holland in the 70's, ***** and coca*****e use declined substantially although the use of marijuana has risen. If the 'gateway' theory were true, the use ***** ***** drugs should ***** g***** up ra*****r than down.
***** only area health issues associated w*****h marijuana smoking are respiratory problems and possible development of cancer. However, it is a well-est*****blished fact ***** regular marijuana users normally smoke far less (just 3-4 joints in a day) ***** ***** users ***** smoke up to 20 cigarettes a day. This reason and the proven bronchial-dilatory properties of THC (***** facil*****ates the in the quick clearance of smoke from the lungs) means that even these injurious effects ***** marijuana are far less than ***** of tobacco-*****. ("Answers To...,")
On the ***** hand, marijuana is known to have important medicinal *****. The Institute ***** Medicine (IOM) of the US National Academy of Sciences carried out a review and analysis of health-related ***** ***** ***** in 1980. It recognized marijuana's therapeutic potential in treat*****g glaucoma, controlling the severe nausea ***** vomiting associated with chemotherapy, as an anticonvulsant, and ***** an effective muscle relaxant among other uses. The IOM highly recommended ***** research to determine the full *****

We present a purely isometric method that establishes 3D correspondence between two (nearly) isometric shapes. Our method evenly samples high-curvature vertices from the given mesh representations, and then seeks an injective mapping from one vertex set to the other that minimizes the isometric distortion. We formulate the problem of shape correspondence as combinatorial optimization over the domain of all possible mappings, which then reduces in a probabilistic setting to a log-likelihood maximization problem that we solve via the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. The EM algorithm is initialized in the spectral domain by transforming the sampled vertices via classical Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). Minimization of the isometric distortion, and hence maximization of the log-likelihood function, is then achieved in the original 3D euclidean space, for each iteration of the EM algorithm, in two steps: by first using bipartite perfect matching, and then a greedy optimization algorithm. The optimal mapping obtained at convergence can be one-to-one or many-to-one upon choice. We demonstrate the performance of our method on various isometric (or nearly isometric) pairs of shapes for some of which the ground-truth correspondence is available.

"Weaving together ten years of archival research and interviews, Rosen turns the complicated history of the women's movement into a compelling and coherent narrative. The World Split Open challenges us to understand how the women's movement has forever altered our lives and why the revolution is far from over. This history will attract men and women, entice educators and students, beguile movement veterans, and captivate those who came of age in the wake of this revolution."--Jacket.
