DEAR DR. ROACH: Could you please advise what the current recommendation is as far as follow-up colonoscopies are concerned? It has always been my understanding from what I have read that virtually all colon cancers start as polyps in the colon and that it takes between five and 10 years for a polyp to become cancerous. My doctor says that a colonoscopy every 10 years is sufficient. Do you agree? I'm wondering why so many people I know are having a colonoscopy way more often, with some even having them yearly. -- Anon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from buy this saw! I'm a jack of all trades type builder of things from houses to waterfalls with 25 years experience. I've used alot of tools good and bad and this one I think works great.From cutting PVC pipe right under the sink, to drywall repairs or installs,to ply wood.Last week I was up in an attic cutting 2x12's' happy that I did'nt have to drag a cord and circular saw up there to get the job done.It has lots of power, charge lasts a long time, and the charging turn around is the fastest I've ever experienced,and I know this because I've owned the 7440 cordles drill they make for about 2 years and that is the best drill I've ever owned.Truly great tool making and thanks for that little belt hook on the drill panasonic,when you're hanging off that ladder way up there good ideas like that mean alot.

Beautiful and convenient setting. High Sierra at it's best. North fork of the Yuba River on property and two minute walk. Far enough from big cities. Quiet mountain village. - Airstream1950
Aug 2011 - $38.00
Nice park, not year around. Sites are very close, and a very tight fit. Camp host was very nice and helpful. The one thing is there is no cell reception. So you have to use pay phone at top of a little hill. The beautiful river is then at the bottom of the hill the other direction. And will really get you in shape, but in the hot weather is was so worth it. - RVKat

Our price was based on a one-week stay. This little park was a perfect find, especially out here where there are mostly National Forest campgrounds with no facilities. You can hear the river from practically any site, and I found most of the sites to be of average to slightly larger than average size, for a private park. The LARGE pet walking area is watered regularly and well maintained - unlike many parks pet areas, there were no stickers or weeds, just soft green grass. The rest of the park is nicely landscaped with beautiful flowers, trees, and our site even had a small herb garden which we were invited to use. On weekends, the owners put out a nice spread with free coffee and pastries, which we found to be a very hospitable gesture. The owners are friendly, helpful and really seem to enjoy having guests and meeting new people. The bathrooms are spotless with plenty of hot water. Excellent Wi-Fi, and our spot was the farthest one from the office. I'd highly recommend this park to anyone staying in the area. - Searching4America

We camped here in order to attend an evening concert at the Kentucky Mine, which is 7 miles away. Worked perfectly for that purpose. This stretch of 49 is a good road to travel at night. However, the campground has seen much better days. Sites are not level and are very small, but our RV is smallish and we got our 1 slide out. There is fresh drinking water, but it is not possible to fill RV tanks with it. Too bad we were counting on that. Very good camp hosts. There is a hiking trail within the park, along the creek. Not well-maintained (wear your boots!) but pretty. Note that fee of $19 does not include $9 reservation fee through recreation.gov (ouch!) or additional tax. Fee is awfully high for pretty primitive camping. - JCLC

Great place. Big and well maintained. No wood fires though. All paved drives with lots of gravel in space areas. Which makes this park nicer that some we have visited also with gravel. WiFi is weak but cell service pretty good so use your hotspot. - Bobcat1
Aug 2016 - $53.00
This may be the cleanest RV park we have every stayed in. There is hardly a leaf out of place. The driveways are not overly wide but paved and well maintained. The sites are clean gravel, level and all the utilities work well.
We were disappointed that our online reservation has not been recorded. Fortunately we are here on a day when they were not full. The Wifi works very well. On our evening walk by the river we saw 3 deer and lots of birds. Our site is well shaded. - 2WArvers
Jul 2016 - $55.00
Very clean and well-maintained park. Greeters take you to your site and guide you in. If they can, they'll pull you through another site to get to yours. We stayed in the 50amp section, which had reasonably wide, tree lined sites which were covered with pea gravel. Workers came in and raked sites and cleaned tables as soon as people depart. There's not much in the way of amenities beyond a bocce ball court & horseshoes. But, that's also probably why it was so peaceful at night. Sites are away from the road, unlike two other parks we drove through in nearby Graeagle. Day hikes around regional lakes are just a short drive away. - TahoeWino

We stayed here for 6 days. The park managers were very friendly and work with campers to make their stay the best experience possible. We arrived in the area a day earlier than expected and were able stay in a vacant site for the night. We liked the park, people and town so much we were able to stay in our space for an extra night.
The restrooms and showers are spotless, sites are cleaned as soon as the occupant leaves and . The grounds are well maintained and the whole park reflects pride of ownership and the attitude of the staff. Walking distance to town on a walking trail. Sites vary in size to accommodate small units to large class A RVs. We had no trouble with our 38 ft. 5th wheel. Will return. - JohnG3

Stayed in early July. This is an amazing RV park. It is very close to town so walking to restaurants and shopping was easy. The park is very pet friendly (no charge). There are hiking and biking trails next to the park . The staff was very friendly and informative about the area and helpful in locating our trailer on the lot. There are lots of trees and the sites are very big. The bathrooms are amazing and had fresh flowers. Golf is close by and the park is very quiet. We will stay here again and again. - Mark R

This is a hidden gem, especially for California. It is one of the most beautiful parks in the CA state park system. Jameson Creek runs right through the middle of the campground and the views of the surrounding mountains are incredible. There are no hookups, but there are flush restrooms and nice new shower facilities which are kept clean. The park also has a great museum and you can tour the old mine/stamp mill site. Very nice rangers on site. Take the time to explore the nearby towns of Graeagle, Portola, and Blairsen. They are California unspoiled. Also, the Lakes Basin area is truly a natural wonder. Frazier Falls is worth the 1.5 mile hike. If you want to dine out, don't miss Gumbas in Blairsden. They have great pizza, friendly staff, and VERY family friendly! The ONLY drawbacks to Plumas Eureka are the lack of hookups and a lot of the spaces are difficult to maneuver in to. I wouldn't recommend it for rigs over 25 feet. If you don't camp there, at least take the time to visit the park! - campingwithourboys

Our site was nice, level gravel. Water pressure good, electrical voltage good and steady. Sewer hookup is located well for gravitational flow but you will need a hose that is longer than 10 feet. Owners were friendly and very proud of the cable and satellite TV hook ups but we could not get ours to work. We watched CBS and ABC from our bat wing antenna. Verizon cell and Wi-Fi signal (3G only) was good. A nice, quiet location in tall pines with plenty of shade. Not a destination resort, but a nice clean, well-run spot to park and venture out in the area to see the sights. We will definitely stay here again. - Nevadatripin
Jul 2012 - $30.00
This little, no frills gem is one of our favorite places to spend a few days. The park itself is older, owned by the same couple for many years. Some of the pluses are direct access to national forest land for hiking and dog walking, lots of trees, and very clean restrooms. It is a mostly quiet location, with the exception of some noise from Highway 70. Nearby the small town of Blairsden has delicious breakfasts and lunches available from the café, bakery, or deli; drive a bit more to play golf or hike in the Lakes District hiking area with its numerous trails and lakes. The downsides are 3 channel cable TV, the lack of 50 amp hookups, no WiFi, and no Sprint cell phone reception. - From Reno
Aug 2009 - $26.00
Older park set in some really nice-sized pines. Very little noise from Highway 70 at night, and no train noise. The site we were in was a little snug for our over sized rig, but as much my fault as the sites layout (I got in a little sideways since it was nearly dark when I parked). We saw sites both larger and smaller, some level, some not as much. We didn't use the restroom facilities, but the owners were obviously very serious about their maintenance. Nice folks, nice park, and a good setting. - csvreno

We have been traveling via RV for 20 years. This is the most congested and difficult to access park that we have ever experienced. The try to pack In as many rigs as possible. We were here over a three day weekend and I dreamed of having a dry camp space at any Walmart. What a joke. The 'guide" who helped us negotiate into our way too small spot caused us close to $1K damage on our rig. He was either dyslexic or blind. This place tries to maximize how you can get 10 pounds of stuff into a 5 pound bag. Sorry to say, it did not work for us. This place was designed for tiny rigs with no slides. The supposed WiFi was never working. The power was below acceptable levels for any campground. They collect top dollar for substandard sites. We will NEVER consider going to this place again! - Cathy.Cook
Sep 2011 - $40.00
Nice enough park in the trees, well maintained. Roads are tight, especially on holidays, with loads of vehicles, bikes, etc., impeding your access. You are escorted to your site mainly due to tight access and liability, not necessarily out of courtesy. Trains were fine, highway noise is much more than I expected. Unless you are camped right outside the clubhouse, the Wi-Fi is useless. The catv has about five channels, but is better than nothing. Would consider staying here again, but never on a three day weekend. Don't have little kids, but there isn't much for them to due other than run around campsites. Not the park's fault there. - NVDesertGirl
Aug 2010 - $34.00
This is a very nice campground. We were escorted to our site and given a run down of what's what. Very clean, quiet and beautiful grounds. The only reason I didn't give this a 10 is because the train does run close by and has a tenancy to "toot" it's horn at all hours of the night. Overall we'd definitely go back to this campground. - longlivethebullies

We are happy to report that there has been a change in ownership of this park and all previous issues have been addressed and corrected that I wrote about in my previous comments in July 2006. The park is now owned by those that know what it takes to create a wonderful experience for their guests. We spent several nights last month and the park was very clean and the grounds look refreshed!
They have done an outstanding job clearing dead and over grown trees, upgrading the laundry and game rooms and the general appearance of the grounds are now appealing. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The owners are very friendly and informative.
The eviction of some of the year round riff raff has increased a sense of safety for you and your family. The pool is a delight as it's the only RV park in the area with one!
Feather River RV Park has become the best park in the area. I highly recommend this park for weekend and seasonal campers. - Coastalview
May 2016 - $40.00
We have been seasonal campers at this park for over 12 years and have always enjoyed ourselves. We agree that there were issues with all of the previous owners but the park is now owned by a wonderful family that have invested more time and money in the last 6-8 months than all the other owners combined. We spent our first night of the season a couple of weekends ago and the park was as clean as I have ever seen it. The have done an awesome job taking out dead and dying trees, updating the laundry and game rooms, lowered the price for bigger bundles of wood and evicted some of the year round riff raff. The pool is ready to go and we can't wait to start our camping season. Feather River is easily the best value, most natural looking park in the area. I highly recommend this park for both weekend and seasonal campers. Stop by site #25 when you're there. - Dave and Cindy

Have stayed here several times. Some sites right on river but very close together. River is lovely. VERY noisy when crowded with lots of OHVs running around campground at all hours~Seems as if some parents just let the kids drive OHVs in circles around campground constantly.Mud Hole in rain. Bath rundown! Small store nearby. Town of Washington is rather junky attracting Bikers. Very long steep drive into campground. No enforcement to pick up dog waste (YUCK!). Owners on site~very chill. Would be better with a few rules. - galley
Mar 2008 - $32.00
Atmosphere is very casual. Some areas were communal, obviously multiple families camped as a group so there was a lot of foot traffic and socializing. We popped the breaker at our site 3 times with minimal load, and after the third time I went to the office to report it. The on-site owner was there within 15 minutes to fix the problem; very nice folks. Sites are dirt, some are grass, and a bit on the small side. A HUGE word of caution- save your brakes on the way in, it's about 3-1/2miles of 7% hairpins coming in. But the river was right there, and made for very pleasant music to sleep by. - csvreno
Jun 2007 - $40.00
This park is right on the Yuba River and has beautiful views. The people that run it are really nice. My only criticism of the place is the dog excrement all over the place. I've been to this place twice and had to scoop it off of our site, and adjoining sites before we even get our slides out. The flies and the stench is bad. Park management need to install dog waste collection bag dispensers to encourage their patrons to pick up after their pets. Additionally, the rule of pets on a leash is ignored and park management do nothing about it. It's scary to walk your small dog on a leash with large dogs charging at you. The good news is that there are garbage cans at each site and it is picked up daily. We will be back.l I hope they start enforcing the pet policies! - mjane21

Jul 2011 - $34.00
We stayed here for an overnighter and wanted to check out the park. They assigned us to the A section and there was no way that we could have fit into the spot that they assigned us. It was very difficult to manuever around that part of the park pulling a 30 foot fifth wheel let alone pull into the space due to narrow spaces lined with trees. After checking out two more spaces and after three phone calls to the office, we moved to another space. However, as someone mentioned before, the trees hadn't been trimmed. I was very disappointed with the overall appearance and lack of maintenance in the park. We were across from old tennis courts that were overgrown with weeds. People were walking there dogs there. Rustic is the word. Section H looked much nicer and I would consider staying there, however the spaces are very uneven and it is full of campers with ATV/dirt bikes. This is a great park for OHV use but I wouldn't stay here as a destination unless I owned one. - Hitch2go

The Remedy for the Wrath of God
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…" - (Romans 1:16)
The gospel Paul proclaimed was the good news that God will not only pardon and forgive our sins, but through our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ God will make it just as if we had never sinned. God will also declare us to be as righteous as if we had never sinned.
In Psalm 51 David literally asked God to un-sin his sin. David was a prophet and when he prayed that petition he knew the fulfillment of the answer would be in the word "justified." It literally means that God makes it as if our sin never happened and He declares us to be righteous. If you have ever grievously sinned, you know that the cry of your heart is wishing your sin had never happened!
That is precisely what the good news of the gospel proclaims. Imagine two men convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. After 25 years one of them is pardoned by the governor. Evidence is discovered that proves the other man is innocent of his crime. He cannot be pardoned, he needs to be exonerated as if he never committed the crime.
Man's law can do that. Only God, however, can declare a guilty man as innocent as if he never committed a crime for which he is in fact guilty. That is what God has done and is God's only remedy for His wrath.
If you believe the Good News of the Gospel, then open your heart to receive this remedy.

I'm kinda Nerdy-ish, and like Nerd girls who also happen to be into gaming. For some odd reason I've taken a shine to wandering around the Lake Square Mall after classes.
I've got a pretty decent sense of humor... if you catch everything thats a joke, and dont take all I say too seriously. I'm also easily amused, Theres a good chance I'll laugh at all your jokes, to the point that my face will hurt later in the day.
I'm Loyal; yeah it's corny and overused sounding, but loyalty is a big thing to me, if you're not going to be loyal in a relationship, just stay away and dont waste my time, it's finite.
I'm affectionate, and love to just stay in and cuddle all day, I also greatly appriciate displays of affection, lean in and kiss me, grab me and hug me tight, show me how you feel and tell me how you feel.
If you have issues that will really affect a relationship, a great aversion to being alone with someone, or being touched, dont bother, I've been there and dealt with that and I dont want to deal with it again.
I'm not really political or religious, nor do I have any big issues with either, but if you're going to try and convert me to your party, religion, or whatever, just stay away. I dont mean that you cant get me into your music, art, movies or what have you, just dont expect me to hold the goat while you sacrifice it.
also if you're really hung up on physical things, demand that your guy is skinny or muscular, rate people on how they look, then take your vain shallow ass elsewhere.
I am silly, nerdy, and true.
b. Shawn of the Dead, Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Tremors, The Life Aquatic, O brother where art thou, Clerks, Lord of War, Van Helsing, The Brothers Grimm, Predator 1 and 2, Collateral, Big Trouble... I could go on.
c. I like most music, a friend turned me onto "Gorillaz", and I enjoy techno that isnt alot of shrieking and repeating voices. I also like classical music. ( I dont really care for country or gangsta' rap(rare rare exceptions))
d. Hmm, favorite foods? well, I do like the Jambalaya I cook(;p) also Que-sa-deel-ahs, a good burger(hard to find!), Mesquite chicken subs from quiznos, and well everyone likes Pizza right?

Look, we've all been there: you're sitting there watching a mediocre movie, let's say Spider-Man 3, and on screen, emo Peter Parker is in the midst of shoving Mary Jane down on the floor. The theater is respectfully silent, until a drunk dude in the back says, "Awww, sh*t," and the entire theater explodes in laughter. Yes, that was something I witnessed, and it was instances such as these, when the audience became the show, that prompted me to ask some of my favorite writers and comedians to share their stories of times when the theater where they were watching a film became far more entertaining than the film itself.
This week's panel includes some of your old Uproxx pals, as well as Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker from Sh*t My Dad Says/I Suck At Girls/Cougar Town, XOJane Columnist and Twitter's BoobsRadley Julieanne Smolinski, comedian Jamie Lee, who was just on Conan a few months back, So Close to You author Rachel Carter, and my favorite San Francisco comedians and former Frotcast guests, Alison Stevenson and Leslie Small. Don't blame any of them for the cutesy chapter headings though, I wrote those. Enjoy!
ASHLEY BURNS: Magic Mike and a Theater Full of Lawbreakers
Fortunately and conveniently, my story involves my current pick for the Best Movie of 2012 – Channing's Tatum's Magic Mike. Obviously, I went to see the semi-biographical story of C-Tates' rise to fame because he's my best friend in the world (category: celebrity I've never met), but I was also really excited for what promised to be a great crowd experience.
For starters, I was one of maybe five men in the entire theater, and let's just say the other guys didn't bring their girlfriends. *wink wink, nudge nudge* Beyond that, each row was packed with cliques of women, varying in ages, and many of them wearing customized t-shirts as if they were on bachelorette parties (I won't actually rule that out). My favorite was a group of middle-aged women wearing homemade "LAWBREAKER" t-shirts. And most of the ladies had beer buckets or wine, and I knew that drunk chicks + C-Tates' burnt ding dong = A+ movie experience.
But what really made the movie – which I enjoyed by itself – so magnificent was one woman, flying solo to this dick flick. She approached our row and asked my girlfriend and me if the seats next to me were taken and we said no, assuming she'd honor movie code and leave a few seats between us. Nope. She sat right next to me. And I won't get into specific details, but she filled out all of her seat and I just had a feeling she'd be a talker.
Sure enough, she talked to me the entire film – I think she may have assumed I was like the other guys in the theater – and she was hilarious, from her depressing admittance that she had no friends since moving to Orlando, to her frame-by-frame commentary, which included gems like, "What, ain't no brothers in Tampa?" and "Nuh uh, get Channing a girl with some meat on her bones" and my absolute favorite, when Joe Manganiello was using the penis pump: "Oh hot damn, that's his dick."
Sadly, I haven't seen my favorite movie friend since.
ALISON STEVENSON: A Sad Preview
A few months ago I was in the habit of going to see movies alone all the time because I had quit my job (long story that involves me accidentally leaving a condom in a toilet) and had nothing to do during the day. I went to a theater close to my apartment while I was menstrual. Basically, I was hormonal as all hell, which is something I would like for you to keep in mind (forever if you can). I get inside the theater and once the trailers start playing, I tear up. Just out of nowhere. No reason. None at all. Just tears, slowly trailing down my cheek. Then the trailer for Best Exotic Marigold Hotel plays, and something about it got me into straight-up crying mode. Ten seconds into it, I was bawling like a jackass. Why the f*ck was I crying? I have no idea, but was very embarrassed. There were about four other people in the theater and I was sitting in front of all of them which convinced me they could hear my sad pathetic sobs and see me wiping my stupid dumb tears.
In my irrational, overly hormonal train of thought I figured it'd be a good idea to just laugh real hard while I was crying so maybe these people would think I was crying in the good way. You know the kind of crying that happens when something is so funny you can't help but ooze tears? The kind of laughter-tears that happen when you're watching Youtube videos of dudes hurting their nutsacks or when you're high as f*ck and see a homeless person poop on a bird. Thing is, there was nothing hilarious about this trailer. It was just a bunch of old people and that guy from Slumdog Millionaire saying things all British-like and being old. In fact, it looked real bad, but I powered through anyways and let out what was supposed to be laughter. However, the fake laughing was blending with the real sobbing and created this strange noise that I can only describe as "bipolar whale". I quickly realized after about five seconds of doing this that I had made things about a hundred times worse. I could hear someone whispering to their friend in back of me "what the f*ck?" and with that was infinitely more embarrassed. I felt like a genuine insane person so I got up and left the theater. I left, having never seen the movie I payed eight dollars for. In fact, don't even remember what movie I was going to see.
JUSTIN HALPERN: Baby Goose is for the Children
If you live in L.A., at some point somebody going to hand you a flyer asking you to be in a test screening of a movie that's going to come out in a few months. I always went because I was broke and you usually got free nachos. One of the first test screenings I went to was for a movie called "Stay," starring Ryan Gosling and Ewan Macgregor. It was supposed to be a psychological thriller but unfortunately it didn't really work, and it wasn't helped by the fact that it was a pretty rough cut. Towards the end, people started to turn on it. Happens often, but what made this particularly interesting was that because it was a test screening, the director, Marc Forster, was sitting in the audience. No one knew he was there, but I was a movie nerd and had IMDB'd that sh*t between J.O. sessions in my lonely studio apartment. On his IMDB page was a picture of him, and I noticed him walk in at the beginning. Anyway, he's sitting in the back, and towards the end of the movie, you find out all the weird stuff that was happening to Ewan Macgregor was all a dream that Baby Goose was having. People were not thrilled, especially this white trash dude in front of me. He threw his hands up and yelled "Maaaan, F*CK this mess. That was BULLshit." I turn around and see Forster now standing by the exit, but he hasn't left. The movie still had like ten minutes left and I thought maybe the white trash dude was done, but instead he tried to start a chant of "THIS MOVIE'S GAY. IT IS FOR FAGS. THIS MOVIE'S GAY. IT IS FOR FAGS." That went on for about thirty seconds and then they just cut the movie off and the lights went up and Marc Forster made a face like he smelled nine thousand farts and left.
DANGER GUERRERO: Brains for Dinner, Brains for Lunch, Why Can't We Have Some Guts
So there was this girl I liked back in 2001, right? Like, like liked. Valentine's Day was rapidly approaching, and since we were both single I pulled the old "Hey, since neither of us have a date…" thing that dorks in movies do, and asked her if she wanted to see a movie with me, instead of staying at home by herself. (I am very smooth.) She thought about it for a second and said "Sure. I really want to see Hannibal." SCORE. I mean, I generally don't watch scary movies because I am a huge baby, but I was willing to make an exception here, for obvious reasons.
Here are two things you need to know about Hannibal: 1) It is the sequel to Silence of the Lambs. 2) There is a scene where Anthony Hopkins removes the top of a very much alive Ray Liotta's skull, extracts a piece of his brain while talking to him, cooks it, and feeds it to him front of Julianne Moore.
After this series of events happens on the big screen, a few hours into what had been a very pleasant evening to that point, we started to hear some whispering behind us. Then more, louder whispering. Then we heard the unmistakeable sound of someone puking their guts out onto a hard floor. Apparently some dude had a very weak stomach and/or was very drunk, and the brain-eating scene had caused him to involuntarily empty his stomach in the theater. It smelled bad. It smelled very bad. We spent the remainder of the film holding our noses and hovering our feet above the floor so none of his bile trickled down the slanted floor and onto our shoes, and after it was over my disgusted, now-also-green-faced date wanted to be taken home immediately.
The moral of the story is this: That guy is an asshole.
JULIEANNE SMOLINSKI: Crazy Heart of the Matter
I saw "Crazy Heart" in one of those theaters that has wine at the concession stand. There was this old couple sitting in back of us, wearing those old people berets, drinking wine and getting louder and drunker as the movie progressed. It was funny, especially given the subject matter (Don't remember? IT WAS ALCOHOLISM). When Jeff Bridges puked for the third time, they were like, "OH GAWD. He's hit rock bottom!" and the whole theater was laughing, which only confused the hell out of them.
LAREMY LEGEL: When Scary Movie Got Scary
There was a time in my life when I was seeing just about every new release that came out. I wasn't getting paid for this, mind you, I was just heading off to the ol' cinema, by my lonesome, checking out the latest offerings. Basically, I was a marketer's wet dream. Looking back, I think it was a healthy mixture of OCD and wanting to be ready for any potential water cooler situations. You know the ones, "Have you seen NEW MOVIE X?" Yes. Of course I have. I have seen all of your movie choices. Let us discuss, and then partake of water.
Anyway, this is the story about the time I went to see Scary Movie and almost lost my life in the bargain. It is not a rebel story.
It was July of 2000 (or "aught aught") and I was planning to see the 11pm showing of Scary Movie. It was probably a Saturday night, because I can't imagine they had a Friday midnight showing of frickin' Scary Movie. I had just finished my shift at the restaurant I waited tables at, so I had cash in hand, ready to dip into the delicious satire that was Scary Movie.
Note: I knew even then that this movie would not be good, but that wasn't part of the equation. It was simply a new movie that I hadn't seen, and my recollection is that only one film came out that week. It was poised to win the weekend, so I couldn't let the chance pass. What I'm getting at is I didn't head into this like some sort of idiot thinking Scary Movie would be hilarious. I knew instinctively that it would be awful. But I got my ticket thirty minutes early, took my normal (far left, last row) seat, and waited for the action to commence. This was a box to be checked, nothing more, and there was always a chance that the trailers were misleading and they were saving the good stuff for the show (Ha!).
Okay, so me, alone, back seat of Scary Movie. The place I lived at the time, Norfolk VA, was pretty much known for rougher crowds. It's a navy town, and a place where fellas like to drink, so I didn't expect huge amounts of decorum, but it wasn't a big deal because Scary Movie wasn't really worthy of anyone's attention anyway. About 30 people were seated in the theater when the trailers started ("Nutty Professor 2? BOSS!!")
The first three minutes of the movie were fairly non-eventful. Then, a group of about five dudes in hoodies came in, sat in the front row of the stadium seating, and started making comments to the screen. People shushed them. More comments, more shushing.
Finally around ten minutes in, one of the gentleman had had enough of the censorship and waived a gun around, slurring something to the effect of "I will have my say, sir, you shan't silence me." You could tell it was a 9mm or something of the like, its silhouette clear against the screen. This caused the crowd to pipe down extremely quickly. Cold fear swept over the group in short order.
At this point my self-talk was "Wow, I'm going to die in a manner that will make even the obituary writer snicker." I won't sugarcoat it, I was extremely sad about the whole thing, especially because I hadn't even been shushing the group. They were annoying, sure, but I figured they'd pass out eventually. After about five minutes of further heckling someone made a run for it, you could tell because they did that "duck around the corner, don't shoot me" thing. Three minutes later cops came in with a theater manager and hauled the guys away. Two minutes after that I left the movie. They had an employee handing out rain checks, but I demurred. It just felt like I should immediately start repressing the whole thing.
To this day, I still don't know how Scary Movie ends, but I like to imagine it was in a hail of gunfire.
PATRICK SCHUMACKER: Where Do You Look for Punisher?
The one moment that seems to stand the test of time for me happened during a near-empty matinee of Marvel's THE PUNISHER, starring Thomas Jane, at the AMC Burbank. My writing partner, Justin Halpern (This was before he legally changed his name to New York Times Bestselling Author Justin Halpern), and I were seated near the back of the theater, and the audience of, oh, about nine from what I could count, was mostly silent for the film, whose anemic–yeah, I f*cking said it–take on Frank Castle never seemed to earn the R-rating it received. Let me say this: I love Thomas Jane, but when the highlight of your film is a villainous John Travolta being dragged over open flames while screaming like Freddie Mercury challenging the Wembley crowd to a falsetto scat competition, it is not without problems.
So, we're sitting there, and it's the end of the movie, and The Punisher is leaving, cause now he's killed everyone and is on the run from the cops. And the love interest, Rebecca Romijn, stops him in the hallway. And he's got his duffel bag over his shoulder and she says, "You're leaving," (No sh*t. See: duffel bag.) And he responds, "I have work to do. Read your newspaper every day. You'll understand."
And then, as any human being would, Rebecca Romijn asks, "What section?"
And that's when an audience member slumped way down in his seat at the front of the theater took it upon himself to answer the question for The Punisher. And he didn't just answer it in a brooding deadpan like the Punisher would. No, he knew that would not play to the audience. It would be too expected. Instead, as any great showman would, he answered it with the enthusiasm of John Madden during a replay of a crushing helmet-to-helmet collision on Monday Night Football. One word. One plosive, monosyllabic word that still rings true in my head today:
Well played, backward Starter baseball hat-wearing, Russell Athletic-cloaked silhouette in row 2. Well played.
For those of you who care to know, or aren't well-verse in Punisher lore, the scripted answer was, "The Obituaries." Apparently because either a) The Punisher plans to continue exacting fatal vengeance upon scum in the area covered by that local newspaper for the foreseeable future, or b) he is under the assumption that the obituary section of the newspaper is nationally syndicated. I don't know.
I still own the film on DVD, and smile fondly after having skipped through the first 87 minutes to get to this moment. Though I usually stop and watch Travolta's death, too. It's worth the price of the DVD alone, so disregard this entire post and watch the movie.
MIKE TUNISON (KissingSuzyKolber): Looper Makes It Rain
Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen it.
Looper was awesome, so I don't include this to take a dig at the movie. But it just happened recently, so it's fresh in my mind. The dude in question who yelled this was relatively quiet the rest of the movie, which made this one outburst all the better.
During the scene in the farmhouse where the kid first uses his telekinesis, this dude connected the dots about the kid's place in the future. It's the same conclusion I'm sure a lot of other people watching the movie had already reached, but he phrased it a lot better than they could have.
So dude jumps up, points at the screen and goes, "YO, THAT'S THE MOTHERF*CKING RAIN NIGGA RIGHT THERE!"
RACHEL CARTER: On the Efficacy of Abstinence Parables
While watching one of the Twilight movies (yeah, you heard that right – I saw Twilight in the theater), there was a 13-year-old girl behind me, sitting with her parents. At the part where Taylor Lautner comes onto the screen shirtless and Robert Pattinson says: "Doesn't he own a shirt?" the 13-year-old stands up and screams out: "I hope not!"
Then, while her parents are trying to make her sit down she goes: "Take your pants off too!!"

But Louis refuted the man's story and said Westlife could help prove he was
He said: "Westlife were there. The whole band witnessed how I behaved. There
was nothing untoward at all."
He described his accuser as "a chancer" and went on: "I am shocked by these
allegations against me but I am going to fight to clear my name.
"I don't even know who this guy is, just that he's a sick, nasty person.
"I have instructed lawyers and I am not going to let this guy get away with
peddling lies about me. No one who knows me believes this story. I have had
hundreds of messages of support, which means so much.
"This is not fair on my friends, family or artists I work with — especially
when I have had no formal contact from the police to put these allegations
to me. I will fight this all the way.
"I will happily co-operate fully with the police and am 100 per cent confident
that after a full investigation I will be fully exonerated.
"The allegations made against me are wholly false and with no foundation."
Cops seized CCTV film from Dublin's Russell Court Hotel from the night of the
alleged attack on April 10.
The unnamed dad claims he met Louis after the Westlife gig in the Irish
capital and they socialised in the hotel's private Global Bar.
He says that later they went on to the Russell Court's famous Krystle
nightclub, where the TV star assaulted him when he went to the loo.
X Factor boss Cowell told The Sun last night from his home in LA: "I have
known Louis Walsh for 20 years and I don't believe for a second that these
allegations are true.
"I feel very sorry for him. I've spoken to him today and he is really upset.
It's horrible.
"Like all of his close friends I will support him 100 per cent."
Former co-judges Cheryl Cole and Sharon Osbourne, as well as Britain's Got
Talent's Michael McIntyre, have called him pledging their backing.
Mary Byrne, 51, the Irish singer eliminated in last year's X Factor
semi-finals, said: "I don't believe it, not with Mr Walsh — he's too much of
a gentleman."
Shane Lynch of Boyzone, Louis's first hit boyband, said: "I'd rather not
comment — I don't want to make anything of a matter that doesn't exist."
On Wednesday Louis filmed an interview with comic Alan Carr for tonight's
episode of Carr's Channel 4 chat show, Chatty Man.
He talked about X Factor and Cheryl's axing as a judge on the US version of
the show.
An onlooker said: "He didn't look too bothered to be honest — but he wasn't
smiley and mischievous."
Last night the alleged victim was still refusing to comment.
Police are expected to question staff of the Russell Court and Krystle before
they speak to Louis himself.
A source said: "An investigation is ongoing."
Louis became a household name in 2004 as a judge on The X Factor alongside
Cowell and Sharon.
He is now the only remaining member of the original panel still on the ITV1
The other judges in the current series are Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos
and Kelly Rowland.
His other star act Jedward refused to comment on the allegations yesterday as
they attended a charity competition at a school in Dublin.
One pal said of the allegation: "It couldn't have come at a worse time for
him, given that they've just started filming the new series of X Factor. But
he's determined that he will be exonerated."

Is It "Deeply Offensive" to Enforce the Law?
It is, apparently, if the law relates to immigration. At Penn State, someone put up posters urging students and others to report violations of the immigration laws. This is the poster: Is it a civic duty to report illegal aliens? That is certainly a defensible position. In general, citizens should cooperate with law enforcement. But Penn State's administration didn't see it that way: "The posters are unsigned and appear to »
Why Is Saturday Night Live News?
Every Sunday morning, the Associated Press has a news story about the prior evening's Saturday Night Live show. Today's story is headlined Host Alec Baldwin, 'SNL' cast skewer Trump White House. Well, yes, they do that every week. Last Sunday's AP headline told us that someone I had never heard of–Melissa McCarthy–was mocking White House press secretary Sean Spicer. And it isn't just the Associated Press. Many news outlets breathlessly »
Is Slavery Bad? That All Depends
From Rod Dreher comes the story of a left-wing Georgetown University professor who defends slavery. This may sound shocking, but it shouldn't be surprising. Liberal academics around the world teach that only American (and perhaps some Caribbean and South American) slavery was really bad. Other slavery–in particular, African and Islamic slavery–was really a pretty good deal for the slaves. These liberal sophists argue that under Anglo-American law, there was no »
Euroweenies: Save Us From Trump!
John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, has proposed to bar President Trump from speaking to Parliament when he visits the U.K., on account of his supposed "racism and sexism." That is an extreme case, but it is fair to say that Trump is deeply unpopular with Europe's elites. Of course, if those elites were a little more perceptive, they might realize that 1) the critical threats they face »
Why the 9th Circuit Order Was Wrong, and What Trump Should Do About It
At Defining Ideas, Michael McConnell, a former federal appellate judge and now a distinguished professor at Stanford Law School, addresses the 9th Circuit panel's decision denying the Trump administration's motion for an emergency stay, and finds it wanting. Michael makes the same point I made here, but he makes it better: The Ninth Circuit did not hold that aliens abroad who do not presently hold visas or green cards have »
Another Democratic Party Disgrace
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos made her first visit to a public school today, a middle school in Washington, D.C. A group of hateful protesters showed up and blocked her from entering the school: The Washington Teachers' Union also sponsored a demonstration, but they claimed that the protesters who blocked the school house door–Democrats make a habit of that–were not with them. Watching the video reminds us that these are »
Why Liberal Policies Are Terrible For Young People
We often casually assume that it is natural for young people to be predominantly liberal. But this is wrong: liberal policies hurt the young worse than anyone else. They deprive young people of job opportunities, drive up the cost of health care, needlessly increase the price of housing, and saddle the young with trillions of dollars in debt. One of Center of the American Experiment's key themes in 2017 will »
9th Circuit's Opinion Is Wrong, But Its Impact Is Limited
As Paul has already noted, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the government's motion for an emergency stay of the order entered by Judge James Robart blocking implementation of President Trump's temporary travel ban. The decision is a bad one, I think, but it also has only limited import and won't stand in the way of more carefully crafted orders to be issued in »
Elizabeth Warren For President!
Scott has been mischievously promoting Keith Ellison to head the DNC. In the same spirit, I enthusiastically endorse Elizabeth Warren as the new face of the Democratic Party. The consensus is that Mitch McConnell's "silencing" of Warren–we can only dream!–per Senate Rule 19 was a mistake because it cemented Warren's role as the Democrats' most visible spokesman. But let's look on the bright side: Warren combines Hillary Clinton's likability with »
Did Gorsuch Blunder?
Newspaper headlines across the country are blaring Judge Neil Gorsuch's characterization of President Trump's criticism of Judge James Robart as "disheartening" and "demoralizing." This is one more in a long series of anti-Trump propaganda victories for the Democrats: Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee has said he found the president's attacks on the judiciary "disheartening" and "demoralizing," according to a Democratic senator. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut disclosed the comments from »
Bob Reich: Oops, Never Mind
Scott and Steve wrote here and here about Bob Reich's peddling of alleged "rumors"–most likely fabricated by him–that Milo Yiannopoulos organized the riots at Berkeley against his own appearance there, in order to make liberals like Reich look bad. This was an idiotic suggestion for any number of reasons, including the fact that the same black-clad, masked rioters show up and smash windows and ATMs at all kinds of international »
I'm So Old, I Remember When Liberals Opposed Military Coups
The Democratic Party has gone off the rails. We are now seeing serious (apparently) contemplation of a military coup as the solution to the Donald Trump "crisis." And it isn't just comedians either, although liberals seem to get their news largely from comedians these days. The liberal Foreign Policy features an essay by Georgetown law professor and former "senior advisor at the U.S. State Department" Rosa Brooks, on how to »
Steve Bannon, Antichrist?
I have met Steve Bannon a couple of times. I agree with him on a large majority of issues, and as far as I know he is a good guy. To the extent that he contributed to Donald Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton, we owe him an everlasting debt of gratitude. But the Democrats have painted Bannon as something like Satan. I see this on a daily basis, as I »
Neil Gorsuch: The Inside Story
Michael McConnell, formerly a federal appellate judge and now professor of constitutional law at Stanford, is one of America's top lawyers. His tenure on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals overlapped with Neil Gorsuch's time on that bench, so Michael knows Gorsuch well, and they sat on nearly 50 cases together. If anyone is qualified to evaluate Judge Gorsuch as a potential Supreme Court justice, it is Michael McConnell. His »
The Super Bowl's Biggest Loser
It wasn't the Atlanta Falcons, or Matt Ryan, or Dan Quinn, or even the bettor who put down $1 million on the Falcons not long before game time. No, the Super Bowl's biggest loser was Touré. If, like most people, you haven't heard of Touré, he is a far-left commentator on MSNBC. Here, for your entertainment, are some of Touré's tweets during the Super Bowl, in chronological order: Trump is »
Super Bowl Revisited
Scott and Paul have already written about last night's classic, and Steve has added a picture gallery. I just want to comment on a couple of aspects of the evening. First, the ads. I didn't pay attention to most of them. Half the time, I can't figure out what is being advertised, at least not until the end. And there are quite a few ads that I can tell feature »
Climate "Science" Rocked By Another Scandal
A just-retired scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has blown the whistle on a scandal of epic proportions involving fake news ginned up by climate "scientists." Dr. John Bates, who until the end of 2016 was one of NOAA's top scientists, told the story to the Daily Mail: The Mail on Sunday today reveals astonishing evidence that the organisation that is the world's leading source of climate data »

What Would You Do?
What Would You Do?
t's probably safe to say that the CEOs of Enron, Tyco and WorldCom never intended to become the poster children for corporate greed, the perfect examples of what not to do in running a business. Yet, if any good can come out of their actions, it is that an increased focus on the bigger issue of corporate ethics now exists. And lest we all sit back in our easy chairs and think that what happened to them doesn't really have anything to do with us, think again. Important lessons can—and must—be learned from these scandals for all of us who provide a service to the public—a public that is increasingly dissatisfied with the moral and ethical climate in America. According to Gallup's January 2004 "Mood of the Nation" poll, a staggering two-thirds of Americans are "very" or "somewhat" dissatisfied with the county's moral and ethical climate.
So what does this have to do with the design fields specifically? Michael Thomas, FASID, believes it impacts the profession a great deal, as it does for any profession whose work directly impacts the health, safety and welfare of its clients.
"It blows my mind that you can have a code of ethics for attorneys or a code of ethics for medical professionals, but there's nothing that governs interior design specifically," he says in this issue's cover story. And while he acknowledges that both ASID and IIDA have ethic codes by which their members are expected to adhere, there is no national or state guidelines to govern the entire profession.
In fact, as the world becomes increasingly complicated and complex, ethical temptations and dilemmas are expected to confront design professionals more frequently, according to the National Council for Interior Design Qualification. Its first-ever Continuing Education Monograph tackled the subject of "Ethics and the Design Professions" and is intended to enhance ethical knowledge and learn how to put the principles of ethical design practice to work.
And therein lies the quagmire. It is oftentimes easier to identify the right thing to do then it is to actually do it. Consider two scenarios:
* Deborah Long, a certified ethics trainer and author of the NCIDQ monograph, tells on her Web site (www.deborahlong.com) of a situation where an interior design professional was directed by a hospital administrator to substitute less-expensive
emergency room cubicle curtains for the bacteria-resistant ones initially recommended. The designer pointed out that the recommended curtains were much less likely to spread virulent strains of staphylococcus in the emergency room, which was why they were so much more expensive. Contrary to the recommendation, the hospital administrator went to the local bath shop, purchased ordinary household shower curtains and told the interior designer to "go along or get fired."
* A competitor's bid for a big project unexpectedly lands on your desk in a plain vanilla envelope. The package was sent anonymously, but you suspect it was forwarded by a disgruntled employee who happens to be a good friend. The bid is substantially lower than what your firm was planning on submitting. If you don't win this project, your company will be forced to layoff a number of employees.
What's a professional to do?
In the first situation, the designer should quit and notify hospital leadership her reason for doing so; in the latter, the competing bid should be returned to a principal at that firm and you should submit your bid as originally planned.
Easy answers, not so easy actions. Would you have had the fortitude to do the same? Equally important, would your firm's leadership have wanted you take those actions? Certainly, the infamous CEOs above didn't operate alone in their misdeeds; it appears their lapses in integrity ran rampant throughout their organizations, a symptom perhaps of a pervading corporate culture that encouraged such actions.
As the profession of interior design becomes increasingly licensed and regulated, the issue of ethics is destined to become a critically important concern. For that reason, the next time your firm has on office meeting, suggest that it participates in the Ethics Resource Center's "Ethics Quick Test," a short quiz designed to assess your organization's ethical effectiveness. Candid responses to the questions in each of the 12 ethics management areas will help identify what is working well within your organization and where improvement might be required. To take the test or download a pdf copy of it, visit
Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said that ethics is "knowing the difference between what you have a right to do, and what is the right thing to do."
A subtle difference, perhaps, but one that can help navigate any career around the ethical potholes along the way.

Changes that would get the inquest process back on track probably won't come until December - at the earliest - Clark County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani said Wednesday.
Giunchigliani, who during Wednesday's commission meeting proposed changing the county code on the investigations of police-involved deaths to comply with a Nevada Supreme Court decision, said she is waiting until next month out of respect for other commissioners and the community, who might want to make other changes.
She will hold a discussion about the subject during the board's Dec. 4 meeting, she said.
After that, she will reintroduce her proposed ordinance, which could be heard as early as Dec. 18.
Giunchigliani proposed revising the code to give hearing masters, instead of justices of the peace, oversight of inquests. Supreme Court justices, ruling last month on a lawsuit filed by police, found that inquests did not violate officers' rights but that the county couldn't require that justices of the peace conduct the quasi-legal proceedings.
There are 20 police-involved deaths, including three fatal shootings by officers in the past week, awaiting an inquest hearing.
Officers have said they won't participate in the process.
Giunchigliani said she wants to get inquests back on track, even if they lack officers' participation.
"That's their right not to show up," she said. "That shouldn't be why we make public policy."
Several people voiced their support for changing the code and getting the process back on track during Wednesday's meeting, including representatives from the Las Vegas NAACP and American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada.
"The purpose of the inquest is not to assign blame," said Richard Boulware, first vice president of the Las Vegas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It is not to point at the police. It is to give relief to the families to understand what happened to their loved ones. The time is now to act."
Gina Greisen, a local advocate, begged commissioners to move ahead with the process.
"I'm a fifth-generation Nevadan," she said. "I have a right to know why my police department felt that deadly force was necessary. The public deserves to know that."
Clark County has held inquests - quasi-legal hearings in front of a panel of citizens - into police-involved deaths for more than four decades.
But they stopped in 2010 after two controversial Las Vegas police shootings prompted commissioners to overhaul the process.
The board's changes included allowing a county-appointed lawyer to represent the family of the deceased and ask questions of the involved officers, in addition to a county prosecutor. Those changes prompted officers to sue.

A laser moves tiny spheres of polystyrene floating in water. Bill Varie/Corbis
In space opera, it's not uncommon for the hero's ship to be snagged by a tractor beam that pulls him towards the enemy -- think of the famous scene in Star Wars where Darth Vader's Death Star captures Hans Solo's spaceship, the Millennium Falcon in an invisible grasp. Scientists have now made a real tractor beam, that while not capable of snaring spacecraft yet, is able to tug on tiny particles.
Pavel Zemanek and his colleagues at the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic built a laser that moves tiny spheres of polystyrene floating in water. Changing the way the light is polarized changes the direction the spheres move. They also found that at certain sizes, the spheres arrange themselves into neat rows as they move, bound by the light itself.
PHOTOS: Top 5 Scariest Bioweapons
"We used a relatively simple setup easily adaptable to any optical microscope and found that it works!" Zemanek told Discovery News via email. In fact Zemanek said it was so simple, one could build the tractor beam setup. All you'd need is a good microscope, a laser, tiny styrofoam balls and distilled water.
This kind of 'tractor beam' can't be scaled up to spaceships – the laser power needed to do that would end up vaporizing the intended target. But the beam could be used to assemble parts in very small robots, move around tiny particles in laboratory experiments and advance medical diagnostics.
"NASA also is actively investigating possible uses of optical tractor beams for sampling comet tails and planet surfaces. What the present paper makes clear is that tractor-beam technology also opens new avenues for lab-on-a-chip material processing that could be very useful for medical diagnostics and related applications," said David Grier, a professor of physics at New York University. Grier wasn't involved in this study.
ANALYSIS: Lasers Defend Against Pirates
Scientists have known for a century that light exerts pressure. About a decade ago, theoretical calculations showed that a particle could move against the direction of a light beam, but no one had demonstrated it in the real world without using a complex arrangement of lenses and mirrors.
Zemanek and his team got it to work using laser beams and a simple setup.
Two laser beams intersect and their photons kick back tiny spheres, moving the spheres up toward the light source.Pavel Zemanek/Institute of Scientific Instruments of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
They fired a laser through a lens, which then went to a mirror that bounced the beam back. The reflected beam interfered with the incoming beam. Meanwhile, the scientists suspended polystyrene spheres in water directly in the path of the laser beams. The beams held the spheres in place vertically, and any pulling or pushing force moved the spheres to the left or to the right.
The effect worked because the particles were small enough to scatter photons of light. The photons got pushed ahead of the particles and since the photons had momentum, the particles got a slight kick backwards.
Grier, who has himself experimented with tractor beams (http://physics.nyu.edu/grierlab/conveyor7c/) , noted that this is the first time anyone has shown that the pulling force was due to the scattering and that you could use it to manipulate objects this way. "It's just a beautifully clear demonstration," he said.
ANALYSIS: Science Fiction Dreams That Came True
By changing the polarization of the light beam, the scientists could move objects in any direction. Zemanek's team found something else, though: the particles sorted themselves by size, with larger ones going to the left and smaller ones going to the right.
The sorting happens because how the light scattered by the particle depends on its size. At a given wavelength small particles will scatter light more than large ones. The light scatters in several directions, and at certain specific particle sizes, Zemanek said the tiny spheres acted like lenses, with some of the light making a kind of focus on one side.
The areas of focused light created a zone where the light's potential energy was at a minimum. This was a "well" where nearby particles would tend to fall. "It's like the cups for eggs in a carton." Zemanek said. A sphere would fall into the well, and as one was pulled along, it drags another behind it. Meanwhile other spheres fell in line, provided they were the same size.
Zemanek noted that if one were assembling a tiny robot, this would be a good way to move the parts around to where they are needed. Since the movement is done with light, it doesn't mater if the particles are metallic or not, or if they are susceptible to electric fields.
Grier said that the future work should focus on extending the range of the tractor beams to more than the micrometer scales. He noted that right now it seems that the object to be moved has to be smaller than the diameter of the beam. "Whether or not that's right, or how stringent a limit it sets, remains to be seen," he said.
The work was published in the Jan. 20 issue of Nature Photonics.
