It's fair to say Michael Douglas' last wife doesn't care for his current one.
Diandra Douglas recently ripped Catherine Zeta-Jones to Britain's Daily Mail, accusing her of selling her private life, among other things.
The fun started when the publication asked Douglas -- who was at her home she still co-owns with her ex-husband in Majorca, Spain -- about rumors that Zeta-Jones was going to take over her share in the house.
"It's not true. Sometimes people say things without the slightest proof," she said. "Why would someone who doesn't speak Spanish or the local Majorcan language or knows nothing about this culture want a house here? She doesn't even come here much."
Yeah, but she spoke English with an awesomely hot Spanish accent in those Zorro movies.
When asked why she was "less visible" in the area of the Spanish resort than the Hollywood actors now, the 56-year-old said "That's because I don't believe in showing off."
Of course not. Anyone who marries into a famous Hollywood family is certainly modest and withdrawn.
"I've never sold photos or kept money from anything and I've always given everything away to charity," she said, referring to her ex and Zeta-Jones selling pictures of their 2000 wedding to magazines. "I'm proud to be able to say that I've never turned my private life into show business. Too much public exposure affects children."
The former couple have a son, 35-year-old Cameron Douglas, who in 2010 was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years in prison for selling methamphetamine and heroin possession. His sentence was lengthened after he repeatedly got his hands on drugs in prison.
Diandra -- who talks to a lot of newspapers for someone who doesn't like showing off -- reportedly told Spanish newspaper El Mundo: "Putting a drug addict in a jail is like putting a diabetic in a cake shop without treatment. It's horrible that someone with money and famous parents should receive such tough punishment."
Right. Only poor people with normal parents should go to jail.
She also insisted reports were wrong that she had lost a recent court battle for half of Michael Douglas' salary and royalties from 2010 Wall Street sequel "Wall Street 2."
Douglas, 69, and Diandra divorced in 2000 after 23 years of marriage. The "Wall Street" actor and Zeta-Jones have two children together, 12-year-old Dylan and 10-year-old Carys.

Rachel Crow is one of the countless Americans who make watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade part of a family Thanksgiving tradition.
Now she's in the parade.
The former Mead resident, who at 14 last year became a star on the TV singing competition "The X Factor," was enlisted to perform on Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure float this year.
"To be part of it is really exciting," Crow said on the phone from New York on Wednesday.
She arrived in New York the previous evening and within hours was in rehearsal for the parade, she said. She'll sing her version of "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" during the parade. Her recording of the song is included on "Merry Nickmas," a collection of holiday songs by Nickelodeon's roster of stars, including Crow.
When she visits New York she likes to dine, shop and go to shows, she said. She was thinking about seeing a performance of the Broadway musical "Mary Poppins."
Crow is reminded of her newfound fame when she exits her hotel.
"There's fans who wait for me outside," she said.
After her run on "The X Factor," Nickelodeon signed Crow to an overall talent deal that included plans for a TV series. She also signed with Columbia Records/Syco. She said she's still developing the TV show, though it probably won't be until the new year when she can release details, she said. She has also been working on recording music, including the single "Mean Girls."
Other performers in the Macy's parade include Carly Rae Jepsen, Neon Trees, Don McLean, Colbie Caillat and Chris Isaak.
Crow at various times attended Mead Middle School, Legacy Elementary School and Mead Elementary School.

No-contract cell phone plans are very beneficial for people who don't want to be bound by a strict contract. If a person wants to change their phone service provider before the contract is up, then they will have to pay a steep fee. This is why prepaid cell phone plans are an attractive option for people who don't use their phone often except for emergencies. These plans are also good for people who hate being forced to stay with one provider for a long period of time.
People looking to purchase a no-contract cell phone plan should consider all the options available to them. There are many different types of prepaid plans, and choosing the wrong one could be a costly mistake. However, choosing a plan that fits a person's situation and circumstances will help save them money. These days, prepaid carriers also offer prepaid cell phone plans with unlimited data.
Most major telephone service providers offer prepaid plans in addition to the contract plans they are usually known for. There are also other telephone service providers who specialize in prepaid cell phone plans. Generally, it is the only service they offer.
People who decide to purchase a prepaid cell phone plan enjoy numerous benefits. For example, no-contract plans allow customers freedom and flexibility that contract plans lack. They can cancel their prepaid plan at the end of the month without any consequences.
No-contract cell phone plans allow people to change their plan or their service provider quickly. This is especially beneficial for people who are searching for a provider that fits them perfectly. If they find they don't like their current no-contract telephone service provider, then they can easily cancel their plan after only a month. This will allow them to search for another provider very quickly instead of having to wait one or two years.
Another benefit of purchasing a prepaid cell phone plan is the fact that people are able to change the type of plan they initially bought after only a month. For instance, if a person decided to purchase a plan that they thought was a good fit, but they realized later on that it was going to be too expensive for them, then they can cancel that plan after a month.
They can also change specific details about their plan much more easily. This includes changing the number of minutes they are given as well as the types of features their plan offers. All of this can be changed after a month.
All of this flexibility allows people to customize their prepaid cell phone plans without the hassle and consequences associated with contract plans.
Being able to cancel a plan whenever they want can save people from major problems. For example, if a person signed up for a one-year contract plan, and they liked everything about it from the features to the price of the plan, they won't be able to cancel the plan without heavy consequences if they discover a hidden problem.
For instance, after signing up for their perfect plan, they may find that there is terrible reception at their home. This is a serious problem, and they will either have to deal with the bad reception for a year or cancel the plan and deal with hefty fees. With a prepaid plan, they won't have to deal with bad reception at all. They can cancel their plan whenever they want without problems.
There are several types of no-contract plans from which to choose. These include individual, business individual, family, and shared business plans. Individual plans are perfect for just one person. Business individual plans are good for companies that want their costs to be based on individual employees.
Family plans are for people who have children or other dependents and want to share the plan. Shared business plans allow employees to share minutes on any phones that are covered by the plan.
All of these plans can be customized to cover data, talk, or talk and data.
People looking to purchase a prepaid cell phone plan can decide whether they want unlimited minutes and data or a certain amount of minutes and data.
One of the drawbacks of a prepaid cell phone plan is that the carrier usually will require you to pay full retail price for the phone. Since you are not a contract post-paid customer, prepaid carriers typically will not subsidize the phone for you.
One benefit of some no-contract cell phone plans is their pay-as-you-go feature. This feature lets people only pay for calls they make instead of paying a monthly fee. The cost of every call will be taken out of a prepaid account. It's important to make sure the account always has enough money in it. This feature is great for people who don't want to pay every month but instead would like to pay only for what they use.
Prepaid cell phone plans are offered by many different service providers. Some of these providers offer only prepaid plans, while others offer a variety of contract plans. There are several types of no-contract plans from which to choose. It is important to choose the right plan, so money will not be wasted. Overall, prepaid cell phone plans offer many benefits.

TYNGSBORO -- At the start of the budget season, it is customary for some state representatives and state senators to visit boards of selectmen in their districts to get feedback from local communities about its concerns and priorities.
Instead of back and forth dialogue around the table, Tyngsboro sends its state legislators a laundry list of items.
Some are simply FYIs so the legislators know what kind of restraints the town is facing. Others are requests for additional support.
Tyngsboro began this practice about five years ago at the urging of Selectman Robert Jackson, with about five or six bullet points.
Each year the list grows.
State Sen. Eileen Donoghue, D-Lowell, and state Rep. Colleen Garry, D-Dracut, recently received a list of 22 items from the selectmen and nine pages more from the School Committee outlining concerns with growing special-education costs and unfunded mandates.
The list outlines problems and sometimes offers solutions, such as changing legislation, giving the town an abatement or providing it more funds.
The legislators said having a list of items is helpful and said they wished every town did the same thing.
"The lists that we have created in the past and the list we created now has and will lead to ongoing dialogue for the individual issues that are important to Tyngsboro and giving our representative body a chance to address them," Jackson said in an interview.
"All of the issues that we have brought before our legislative representatives are still open and pending and we are waiting for action to occur."
Jackson noted Garry has filed legislation regarding funding of regional vocational schools.
This year, Garry and Donoghue filed bills regarding funding transportation for regional vocational schools, and parity in funding for regional vocational schools and traditional public school districts, so that no member community pays a greater percentage increase to a vocational-school district than the increase it paid to its own public-school district.
One request from the School Committee concerned funding for the English Language Learners program, which will require an additional $150,000 next year. Superintendent of Schools Don Ciampa said the district runs an immersion program, but under a state Department of Elementary and Secondary review, it must hire two additional staff members and materials to provide instruction for about a dozen students.
One item from selectmen is the $100,000 funding the town pays toward the Quinn Bill, a 1970 law that gives additional pay to police officers with college degrees.
The state stopped funding its portion of the Quinn Bill last year.
Donoghue and Garry said they don't anticipate that money coming back.
"It's really not an option for the town not to compensate for the state's lack of cooperation with that," said Selectman Rick Reault. "Officers have earned it through their educational incentive."
Other items include: requesting the state Department of Transportation to re-evaluate the timing of the traffic light at Middlesex and Kendal roads and lighting on the Tyngsboro Bridge.

This is the fourth and final part of a four-part series previewing the 2013 Maryland women's soccer team. The first three part fans were introduced to the goalkeepers, defenders and midfielders. Today the Terrapins' forwards get their turn.
Part 4: Forwards
There has never been a soccer match won by a team that didn't score a goal. That's a fact. So having forwards that are capable of scoring goals are important for any team. Having four quality forwards that can score goals is something Maryland head coach Jonathan Morgan looks forward to seeing this season for the Terps.
Leading the way for the Terps will be senior Hayley Brock, who led Maryland with 13 goals and 32 points and tied for the team lead with six assists. Brock was terrific for the Terps down the stretch in 2012, scoring three goals in four post-season matches and totaling seven goals and one assist in her final 10 games of the season.
"I'm really happy with Hayley's soccer right now," said Morgan. "Her fitness has also been really good and she's been a real leader in the preseason. She's improved every year she's been here and we expect her to continue that progression. I can't wait to see how much better of a player she is going to be this season."
Brock's running mate up top last season was Becky Kaplan, a 2012 graduate who was second on the squad with 30 points on 12 goals and six assists. But Morgan knows he has a trio of Terps ready to fill the void.
"We have some very attractive options to compliment Hayley up top and that's a good thing," said Morgan of sophomore Gabby Galanti, junior Cory Ryan and the possibility of sliding sophomore Ashley Spivey up from her midfield position. "All three of these players will give defenses fits."
Galanti is a left-footed scorer that made an immediate impact last season. After missing the first three games of 2012, she scored one minute into her collegiate debut at George Mason. She finished the season fifth on the team with nine points on two goals and five assists.
Ryan moved around between midfield and forward during her first two seasons as a Terp, but was put up top permanently prior to Maryland's run in the ACC and NCAA tournaments. The moved proved fruitful as she assisted on Danielle Hubka's overtime game-winning goal vs. Miami in the first round of the ACC tournament.
The wild card of the group could be Spivey, who was an ACC All-Freshman Team selection last season as a wide midfielder. A dangerous player who can beat opponents off the dribble or in combination, Spivey was third on the squad with 13 points on five goals and three assists. A tremendously fit player, Spivey led all offensive midfielders in minutes played in 2012 and was one of only two players to start all 23 matches.
Freshman Alex Anthony figured to be in the mix, but she could redshirt the season while recovering from an offseason injury.
Morgan could also pull from his significant depth in the midfield if needed to supplement his corps of forwards.

Each C type is represented by an entry in the typemap file that is responsible for converting perl variables (SV, AV, HV and CV) to and from that type.
This simply passes the C representation of the Perl variable (an SV*) in and out of the XS layer. This can be used if the C code wants to deal directly with the Perl variable.
Used to pass in and return a reference to an SV.
From the perl level this is a reference to a perl array. From the C level this is a pointer to an AV.
From the perl level this is a reference to a perl hash. From the C level this is a pointer to an HV.
From the perl level this is a reference to a perl subroutine (e.g. $sub = sub { 1 };). From the C level this is a pointer to a CV.
The T_SYSRET typemap is used to process return values from system calls. It is only meaningful when passing values from C to perl (there is no concept of passing a system return value from Perl to C).
System calls return -1 on error (setting ERRNO with the reason) and (usually) 0 on success.
If the return value is -1 this typemap returns
If the return value is not -1,
this typemap translates a 0 (perl false) to "0 but true" (which is perl true) or returns the value itself,
to indicate that the command succeeded.
The POSIX module makes extensive use of this type.
An unsigned integer.
A signed integer. This is cast to the required integer type when passed to C and converted to an IV when passed back to Perl.
A signed integer.
This typemap converts the Perl value to a native integer type (the
int type on the current platform).
When returning the value to perl it is processed in the same way as for T_IV.
Its behaviour is identical to using an
int type in XS with T_IV.
An enum value. Used to transfer an enum component from C. There is no reason to pass an enum value to C since it is stored as an IV inside perl.
A boolean type. This can be used to pass true and false values to and from C.
This is for unsigned integers.
It is equivalent to using T_UV but explicitly casts the variable to type
unsigned int.
The default type for
unsigned int is T_UV.
Short integers.
This is equivalent to T_IV but explicitly casts the return to type
The default typemap for
short is T_IV.
Unsigned short integers.
This is equivalent to T_UV but explicitly casts the return to type
unsigned short.
The default typemap for
unsigned short is T_UV.
T_U_SHORT is used for type
U16 in the standard typemap.
Long integers.
This is equivalent to T_IV but explicitly casts the return to type
The default typemap for
long is T_IV.
Unsigned long integers.
This is equivalent to T_UV but explicitly casts the return to type
unsigned long.
The default typemap for
unsigned long is T_UV.
T_U_LONG is used for type
U32 in the standard typemap.
Single 8-bit characters.
An unsigned byte.
A floating point number.
This typemap guarantees to return a variable cast to a
A Perl floating point number. Similar to T_IV and T_UV in that the return type is cast to the requested numeric type rather than to a specific type.
A double precision floating point number.
This typemap guarantees to return a variable cast to a
A string (char *).
A memory address (pointer).
Typically associated with a
void * type.
Similar to T_PTR except that the pointer is stored in a scalar and the reference to that scalar is returned to the caller. This can be used to hide the actual pointer value from the programmer since it is usually not required directly from within perl.
The typemap checks that a scalar reference is passed from perl to XS.
Similar to T_PTRREF except that the reference is blessed into a class. This allows the pointer to be used as an object. Most commonly used to deal with C structs. The typemap checks that the perl object passed into the XS routine is of the correct class (or part of a subclass).
The pointer is blessed into a class that is derived from the name of type of the pointer but with all '*' in the name replaced with 'Ptr'.
Similar to T_PTROBJ in that the pointer is blessed into a scalar object. The difference is that when the object is passed back into XS it must be of the correct type (inheritance is not supported).
The pointer is blessed into a class that is derived from the name of type of the pointer but with all '*' in the name replaced with 'Ptr'.
This can be used to store bytes in the string component of the SV. Here the representation of the data is irrelevant to perl and the bytes themselves are just stored in the SV. It is assumed that the C variable is a pointer (the bytes are copied from that memory location). If the pointer is pointing to something that is represented by 8 bytes then those 8 bytes are stored in the SV (and length() will report a value of 8). This entry is similar to T_OPAQUE.
In principal the unpack() command can be used to convert the bytes back to a number (if the underlying type is known to be a number).
This entry can be used to store a C structure (the number of bytes to be copied is calculated using the C
sizeof function) and can be used as an alternative to T_PTRREF without having to worry about a memory leak (since Perl will clean up the SV).
This can be used to store data from non-pointer types in the string part of an SV. It is similar to T_OPAQUEPTR except that the typemap retrieves the pointer directly rather than assuming it is being supplied. For example if an integer is imported into Perl using T_OPAQUE rather than T_IV the underlying bytes representing the integer will be stored in the SV but the actual integer value will not be available. i.e. The data is opaque to perl.
The data may be retrieved using the
unpack function if the underlying type of the byte stream is known.
T_OPAQUE supports input and output of simple types. T_OPAQUEPTR can be used to pass these bytes back into C if a pointer is acceptable.
xsubpp supports a special syntax for returning packed C arrays to perl. If the XS return type is given as
array(type, nelem)
xsubpp will copy the contents of
nelem * sizeof(type) bytes from RETVAL to an SV and push it onto the stack. This is only really useful if the number of items to be returned is known at compile time and you don't mind having a string of bytes in your SV. Use T_ARRAY to push a variable number of arguments onto the return stack (they won't be packed as a single string though).
This is similar to using T_OPAQUEPTR but can be used to process more than one element.
This is used to convert the perl argument list to a C array and for pushing the contents of a C array onto the perl argument stack.
The usual calling signature is
@out = array_func( @in );
Any number of arguments can occur in the list before the array but the input and output arrays must be the last elements in the list.
When used to pass a perl list to C the XS writer must provide a function (named after the array type but with 'Ptr' substituted for '*') to allocate the memory required to hold the list. A pointer should be returned. It is up to the XS writer to free the memory on exit from the function. The variable
ix_$var is set to the number of elements in the new array.
When returning a C array to Perl the XS writer must provide an integer variable called
size_$var containing the number of elements in the array. This is used to determine how many elements should be pushed onto the return argument stack. This is not required on input since Perl knows how many arguments are on the stack when the routine is called. Ordinarily this variable would be called
Additionally, the type of each element is determined from the type of the array. If the array uses type
intArray * xsubpp will automatically work out that it contains variables of type
int and use that typemap entry to perform the copy of each element. All pointer '*' and 'Array' tags are removed from the name to determine the subtype.
This is used for passing perl filehandles to and from C using
FILE * structures.
This is used for passing perl filehandles to and from C using
PerlIO * structures. The file handle can used for reading and writing.
See perliol for more information on the Perl IO abstraction layer. Perl must have been built with

Josh Brolin will play the villain Thanos in "Guardians of the Galaxy," as well as in the third Avengers movie (and possibly the second), according to Variety.
Right -- they haven't made the second "Avengers" yet. Which doesn't necessarily mean there's no good reason not to start getting excited about the third one.
DC missed its chance to cast Brolin as the new Batman, in favor of Ben "Baahhtman" Affleck. He's had to work in somebody's superhero franchise, eventually.
Thanos -- who appeared in a post-credits scene in "The Avengers" -- is an ancient godlike being (go figure) from Thor's neighborhood, who wants to impress Death (really?) by killing lots of people all over the place. Thanos is also (go figure, again) really good at villainous monologues, according to the website.
I love villainous monologues.
Thanos is also after all the "infinity gems," the all-powerful objects such as the Tesseract from "The Avengers." So he's like a universal, evil guy really into scavenger hunts.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" hits theaters Aug. 1 and stars, along with Brolin, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper.

So what Vernon is saying is...
Really. Seriously, Vernon. That's where you want to go with this.
Somehow, over the past dozen years, there was something missing for you, because there were always those pesky folks blocking your way. Like Carlos Delgado. Or Roy Halladay. But now that those perennial All-Stars, Silver Sluggers, Cy Young winners and Sporting News AL Players of the Year are out of the way, you can feel comfortable enough to stretch your shit out and feel like the man of the house around Dunedin.
(Never mind the fact that there are two incumbent Silver Sluggers in your lineup who are on the cover of the Canadian editions of all the baseball preview magazines this year. Ignore that altogether.)
And here's the really sad part for us fans: If this has somehow become "Vernon's Team", it is due far more to the attrition of talent around him rather than his stepping forward and claiming that title for himself in any of the past four seasons.
And don't get us wrong here: We would really love to see Vernon and his Manboobs of Glory triumph over the AL and have him go 30/100 again. We even suspect that he could do it. But to be frank, there's something that is way wrong in that dude's head.
The Parade of Links to Vernon's Leadership Declarations
Griffin: The time has come for Wells to make the Blue Jays his own (Professor Griff, The Star)
Jays leadership role to Wells (Bobby Mac, The Globe and Mail)
Wells takes on leadership role (Bastian!)
It's his team now (Arash Madani, Sportsnet)
Wells is back in the swing of things (Ken Fidlin, Sun)
And to be fair, we've taken the bait, as have most of our blogging compatriots. (Although much praise is due to GROF's Drew and his actual statistical researching and pie-charting of Vernon's issues. Where we play the dime store psychologist for Vernon, he plays clinical psychiatrist.)
Still, this story takes on a predictable echo effect. Sorta like the Edge's guitar in the last few U2 albums.

I'm 99% sure that when your (former? star?) CFer says he's starting to feel like a leader, it's not supposed to drive you to drink.

It's frustrating to me how every single spring, Vernon has a new reason why he's going to be huge. Best shape of his life. Hammies feel better. Wrist feels better. My team now. Whatever. Just do what we all want you to do and be an above aveage major league ballplayer. Forget about the insane contract. You'll never "earn" it. Just fucking perform.
And it's Hill's team anyway.

- Tao of Stieb said...
I hate to say this, but...
When I took a look at the website for Vernon's charity, there was a not so subtle sense that he's decided that "there are more important things in life than baseball...like hosting lots of charity barbecues."
And you know what? There ARE lots of things in this world that are more important than baseball, but if dude wants to walk the Earth like Kwai Chang Caine, then do it, but walk the fuck away from that contract and leave those of us who have our priorities completely out of whack to indulge in a fantasy of a baseball team with an extra $20 mill of salary space.
(And yeah, I realize this is all shallow and unfair. Why is it so goddamned hard to get behind Vernon?)

Asked whether he or Hill were going to be the team's leader, Wells smiled.
"I've got him on that one," Wells said.
Fuck that shit.
- February 25, 2010 at 11:17 AM
If the Jays are truly Well's team, they're doomed!
I'm with The Ack, this is more Hill's team than Well's team. You don't become a leader just because you've been there the longest.

Well, now that the unequivocal leadership of the team has been ceded by Kevin Millar, I guess it is up for grabs. Like a banana republic after the CIA assassinates the democratically elected president, these leaders in waiting may want to be careful what they wish for.
Peel the bulls eye off your back, place it neatly in the manila envelope and send it back through intra-office mail. Let the guy with the shakiest command of the English language be the leader and give ALL interviews.

Leadership aside, its nice to see that by all reports he has come to camp thinner. The guy is 6-1 and last year I think he was at 235 lbs, trying to play centre. At that weight he's probably one of the heaviest centre fielders in the majors.
As a guy who has battled weight (okay battle is definately the wrong word, watched my weight increase year after year) I have no idea how a guy could play centre at 235 lbs. Hell I can feel it in day to day activities when I'm 5 pounds lighter, let alone trying to play CF.
I think we'll see a resurgence in VDub at this lower weight (30 lbs by some estimates), and if not then he is probably done.
I do agree I think vern's charity work and other non baseball related activities have taken away from his focus on the field too.

Hey Tao,
What Vernon is saying is your mother gives good head and complains about your Dad's limp dick.

Just lay off the slider away, Vern

I hear ya, Bwilly. My struggle with weight is the struggle to button my jeans while hold in my gut and then watching it spill over my belt. It's quite sexy, I must admit.
I refuse to use my name for this post

What do talent level and leadership ability have anything to do with each other? I doubt FDR could hit a slider away either. I don't deny he'd be better in center, though....

UM ...26 million Vern. Get your ass in gear! We didn't sign you to be just an okay player. And I'll happily forgoe the leader stuff ... just so long as you've dropped the facepies for good.
Go Dub!
- February 25, 2010 at 8:23 PM
so really, BFF, you can't tell the difference between a player being confident in their abilities and deciding several years later that this is "their" team?
As always, try to contribute instead of being a whatever the fuck it is you are.
- February 26, 2010 at 1:01 PM
- Brad Fullmer Fan said...
I think they are one in the same quality, shithead.
As the most experienced player on the team, Vernon thinks that he carries a greater responsibility now. That might not be the reality of the situation, but I can't see how you can fault him for having that confidence in himself and his leadership ability.
Either way, ragging on Vernon Wells because he thinks he's a leader in the clubhouse is pretty fucking low. It's so much easier to comment on his inability to hit or field without getting into character assassinations like "there is something way wrong in that dude's head."
- February 26, 2010 at 1:30 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
No, but...clearly, there IS something wrong in that dude's head. As evidenced by the fact that he's only starting to have that sort of a realization.
It just seems as though he has to be bashed over the head with the facts before he can see them right in front of him. That goes for the way that he dealt with his struggles at the plate and in the field as well.
- February 26, 2010 at 2:38 PM
- Brad Fullmer Fan said...
So basically you're bashing him for his good intentions right now and the fact that he's saying all the right things in the absence of Roy Halladay. Yeah...fuck Vernon for acting confidently and taking on a "leadership role" as he becomes the longest tenured player...doesn't he know that he sucks!?!
It's as if you're just making up reasons to hate the guy outside of his poor performance. Completely unnecessary...he's a good guy.
- February 26, 2010 at 4:12 PM
ah, shithead. nice one. you're faulting the tao (and me) for your trouble with reading comprehension. good thing you're against the ad hominem attacks. right, holier than thou BFF?

One more thing.
If Vernon made self-deprecating comments yesterday about his abilities and leadership qualities instead of confident ones, would you have been satisfied by that? Would that have been better?
It would have definitely proven that there is something wrong in his head, anyway.

DURHAM, N.C. – Senior libero Ali McCurdy tied a season high with 26 digs to become the ACC's all-time digs leader, helping the 18th-ranked Duke volleyball team to a 3-1 (25-12, 25-17, 22-25, 25-19) victory over Boston College Saturday evening in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Now with 2,316 career digs, McCurdy surpassed the previous conference record of 2,303 set by Clemson's Didem Ege in 2009.
"It's a really exciting thing to have one of your players set a record like that in the ACC," said head coach Jolene Nagel. "She's such a coachable player. She's gotten better every single year because she is so coachable. She's continued to work on the things we wanted her to work on, and she's also become a great leader, too. For her to get this kind of reward, I can't say enough about it. I'm so proud of her."
"It's awesome that it happened here and we were able to get a big win over Boston College," added McCurdy. "It's been a great season so far, so [we have to] continue working hard to get to where we want to be."
With the win, Duke (20-3, 11-1) reached the 20-win plateau for the eighth time in the past nine seasons and also moved into sole possession of first place in the ACC standings. The Blue Devils' defense, led by McCurdy, limited Boston College (8-16, 0-12 ACC) to a .106 hitting percentage, marking the 18th time this season Duke has held its opponent to under a .200 clip.
Three Blue Devils reached double-digit kills with junior Jeme Obeime's 14 leading the squad. Obeime committed just two attack errors on 25 attempts, hitting a torrid .480 for the match. Duke's sophomore tandem of Emily Sklar and Elizabeth Campbell joined Obeime in double-digit kills, registering 13 and 11, respectively. Sklar also added 10 digs for her second straight double-double and fourth of the season.
Duke opened the match with a dominant performance in the opening set as the Blue Devils knocked down 16 kills to the Eagles' six. Up 13-6 following an early 5-1 run, Duke cruised to the 25-12 victory to take a 1-0 lead.
The second set began much like the first with Duke claiming a substantial lead by the midway point. Sklar led all players with six kills in the frame, followed closely by Obeime's four, as the Blue Devils took the set, 25-17.
Down 2-0 overall, Boston College responded in the third stanza. The Eagles' Melissa McTighe put down three kills over the opening nine points to help Boston College to a 7-2 advantage. The Eagles maintained their advantage till late in the frame when Duke pulled within one, 22-21, following a Campbell and Jordan Tucker block. However, Anna Skold came up with a pair of kills to help ice the set for Boston College, 25-22.
A 4-0 Eagle run to being the fourth frame seemed to spell trouble for Duke, but the Blue Devils fought off the early deficit. Duke went ahead for good, 11-10, on a Campbell kill and used a key block to build a three-point margin at 17-14. BC fought back to within two, 21-19, but Duke closed out the match on a 4-0 spurt, capped by Campbell's 13th service ace of the season.
"We made some adjustments," said Sklar. "[Boston College] did a great job of digging balls in the third game. We just decided to switch up our offense a little bit and run some different plays. I think we also went back between the third and fourth games and talked about having stronger mental focus."
Sophomore Katty Workman recorded 13 kills and 16 digs to lead the Eagles, while McTighe finished the night with 12 kills.
Duke hits the road this coming weekend, traveling to Maryland Friday, Nov. 8, and Pittsburgh Sunday, Nov. 10.

(UK) Tallis Scholars-Peter Phillips CD Release: "
"Featuring two fascinating masses by Josquin, the Missa Di dadi and the Missa Une mousse de Biscaye, the latest The Tallis Scholars album has now been released on Gimell Records."
"Can great music be inspired by the throw of dice? The possibility clearly excited Josquin, who prefaced the tenor part in several of the movements of his Missa Di dadi with a pair of dice, each pair giving a different total score. And the scores show that he knew how gambling worked - they stop when one of the players has thrown a winning combination. Did he know this because he was living in a place where gambling was so commonplace it was even thought appropriate to refer to it in a Mass-setting? He may have been. Milan under the Sforzas in the late fifteenth century was well known to have been a hot-house of gambling, with the ducal family taking a leading role. Since there is good evidence that Josquin worked there throughout the 1480s, it seems very possible that he joined in with the fashion, at court and in private. ....

He whispered, "Amazing—it looks just like the real thing, doesn't it?" He is fifty-seven years old, and looks like what Paul McCartney might look like had McCartney never undergone restoration. Lowe, a former painter, who, in the nineteen-eighties, became obsessed with printmaking, runs Factum Arte, a "digital mediation" workshop that is based in Madrid. It took two years for Lowe and several dozen technicians to remake the Tutankhamun walls—considerably longer than the ancient Egyptians took to produce them. Perfecting the digital printout, he told me, had involved hundreds of hours of analog assessment: thousands of paint samples were mixed by hand, in Luxor, to match the tones in the original tomb, then compared with ink-jet outputs. ...

(SE) eClassical CD Release: "C.P.E.Bach – Solo Keyboard Music, Vol. 32 (SpányiMiklós, Tangent Piano)" (10 Dec 2016)
"Even before the publication of the first collection of Clavier-Sonaten für Kenner und Liebhaber in 1779, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach began composing works intended for a follow-up. This time he expanded the original concept, however, and included not just three sonatas, but also three rondos 'for the fortepiano'. In his treatment of the rondo-form, Bach was – as always – a mould-breaker and in the 'Kenner und Liebhaber' rondos the refrain melody inevitably creeps into the episodes, which in turn wander through distant tonalities. The phrase structure is frequently asymmetrical, and the borders between sections are often blurred, making this rather schematic form into something of a roller-coaster ride. Taking note of Bach's instructions regarding the choice of instrument, Miklós Spányi performs them on a tangent piano, an early form of the piano. ...

Kay, 46, is wanted on warrants from U.S. District Court for violating supervised release. He was convicted in federal court of distribution of cocaine and heroin in 2012 and was sentenced to 21 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He is described as 5-feet-9, 250 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. He has tattoos on both arms, his left hand and wrist, his back, chest and neck. He was last known to be living in Manchester and Hillsborough, where he has family, friends and associates.
The U.S. Marshals Service advises the public not to attempt to apprehend a fugitive, who should be considered armed and dangerous. Instead, report any information to the U.S. Marshals Service's Concord office at 225-1632 or call 1-877-WANTED-2 or text "NHTIP" with any information to TIP411.

With technology and the popularity of social networking, fans are able to create sites to show their appreciation (or the opposite) for the shows they love or for their idols. Some fans even write fan fiction to depict their own views on how stories should run in their favorite tv programs. Some fans create artwork or photo collages in tribute to their idols.
Still, some fans create parallel or parody accounts of famous celebrities. Sadly, these accounts are often ways for anonymous people to release harsh criticism. Of course, some people are gullible enough to believe that the parallel accounts are the real accounts of the celebrities.
However, the most common social network tributes to a performer are fan sites. Fans can be so overwhelmed that they make unauthorized or sometimes with permission accounts designed to help in the career of their objects of affection. These sites update the public on the lives of the stars. As a marketing tool, generating interest via cyberspace or IT is important for this generation of talents and performers.
The problem is what if no fan actually shows interest in making a tribute FB page or even a social network account for a talent. What should talents do? Well, they make their own sites and pass it on as having been made by their fans. Allegedly, two female talents who shuttle from magazine covers to TV/movie appearances have taken matters in their own hands to generate fan interest via the web. Both sites have the same first two words and differ only in the third word in the title of their sites. Thus, FT 1 and FT2 are branded "famewhores" in their ways of achieving their 15 minutes of fame. By the way, FT1 has the "what you see is what you get" attitude, while FT2 seems to be the opposite. FT2 has that meek look in contrast to the dominating look of FT1, but be careful, FT2 has her feisty ways. As we have a saying in Filipino, "nasa loob ang kulo."

There should be no reason why we get beat at home by this team. This is their performance last sunday at their house. Looks to me like Cinci could not finish and Ravens had luck way on their side.
